  • None Dare Call It Conspiracy

    Gary Allen, Andrew Heyl, Larry Abraham, Dauphin Publications

    Audible Audiobook (Dauphin Publications, Dec. 1, 2015)
    The story you are about to hear is true. The names have not been changed to protect the guilty. This book may have the effect of changing your life. After listening to this book, you will never look at national and world events in the same way. None Dare Call It Conspiracy will be a very controversial book. At first, it will receive little publicity, and those whose plans are exposed in it will try to kill it by the silent treatment. For reasons that become obvious as you listen to this book, it will not be reviewed in all the "proper" places or be available on your local book stand. However, there is nothing these people can do to stop a grassroots book distributing system. Eventually it will be necessary for the people and organizations named in this book to try to blunt its effect by attacking it or the author. They have a tremendous vested interest in keeping you from discovering what they are doing. And they have the big guns of the mass media at their disposal to fire the barrages at None Dare Call It Conspiracy. By sheer volume, the "experts" will try to ridicule you out of investigating for yourself as to whether or not the information in this book is true. They will ignore the fact that the author admits that some of his ideas are about to conjecture because the people who know the truth are not about to confess. They will find a typographical error or argue some point that is open to debate. If necessary, they will lie in order to protect themselves by smearing this book. Psychologically, many people would prefer to believe those who pooh-pooh the information herein, because we all like to ignore bad news. We do so at our own peril!
