  • The Alien Enigma: Extraterrestrials: Science Fiction or Science Fact?

    J P Robinson

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, May 25, 2016)
    A page-turning exposé of the governmental conspiracy to conceal evidence of the existence of extraterrestrial life on this planet, The Alien Enigma is a controversial and explosive investigation into the world of ufology in the tradition of Jim Marrs, The Day After Roswell and Messengers of Deception. J.P. Robinson weaves together a wealth of astounding and suppressed material in this comprehensive work covering the many complex subjects associated with alien activity. In this intricate and expansive overview of the ET scenario here on Earth, Robinson exposes the government conspiracy to conceal essential information from the public regarding the alien presence and the already well established diplomatic relationship between them and us. Each chapter of The Alien Enigma offers a great insight into separate topics connected with the alien hypothesis, such as UFOs, abductions, crop circles, contactees, cattle mutilations, the NASA conspiracy and more. For anyone new to the UFO phenomenon and all of its associations, this book will be a complete eye-opener! For those more seasoned researchers out there, there still remains plenty of food for thought on offer here, and all the information revealed by the author is done so in a matter-of-fact non-speculative manner. Where possible, all sources are referenced and further personal research is encouraged by the author. Robinson finishes his introduction by saying: "In order to understand more it is imperative that we improve our knowledge before choosing which side of the fence we feel compelled to belong, so enjoy your read and always bear in mind that facts really can be stranger than fiction."
  • Land in California: The Story of Mission Lands, Ranchos, Squatters, Mining Claims, Railroad Grants, Land Scrip, Homesteads

    W. W. Robinson

    Paperback (University of California Press, Aug. 20, 1979)
    The story of California can be told in terms of its land. Better still, it can be told in terms of men and women claiming the land. These men and women form a procession that begins in prehistory and comes down to the present moment. Heading the procession are Indians, stemming out of a mysterious past, speaking a babel of tongues, and laying claims to certain hunting, fishing, and acorn-gathering areas-possessory claims doomed to fade quickly before conquering white races. Following the brown-skinned Indians are Spanish speaking soldiers, settlers, and missionaries who, in 1769, began coming up through Lower California and taking over the fertile coast valleys and the harbors of California. Their laws were the Laws of the Indies controlling Spanish colonization and governing ownership of land. Missions, presidios, pueblos, and ranchos were born in the period of these people.
