Saucers of the Illuminati

Amazing book. I wish HALF of the UFO/"alien" researchers out there could be this explosive. It is really a shame that Jim Keith is no longer with us in the "flesh" (as it were), but with his writings like this small but powerful book, he continues to nudge, or rather strongly push, those of us still around who strive to meet, and cognitively engage with, reality on the edge(s) of human experience. I can understand why some will probably have a hard time trying to make sense of some of his ideas. This is probably because his epistemology and his ontology are not exactly the norm in either the UFO, or general conspiracy, interest groups. Of course, there are exceptions to the norm...some saliently so. Jim was one of them. His relatively straight forward model posits at least five different possible origins/explanations for the UFO phenomena, none of which are mutually exclusive. On the way there, he takes the reader on some romps through the "ancient astronaut" hypothesis which also spins off into questions about the nature of reality and the construction and maintenance of the "Control System." He pokes around into the Nazi and later black technology projects...also slipping in a little examination of some of our favorite magicians. He recounts his own experience with a "Grey" that took place long before Mr. Strieber hypnotized America with his book cover. He puts some serious headlocks on a number of the "big names" within the UFO community and even pokes us all in the "eye" a bit perhaps, when he observes that "a significant portion of the UFO hobbyist community use their obsession as a form of excitement, for the feeling of being 'in the know,' and as a substitute for a life" (p.44 - ouch!). One of his goals seems to have been to deconstruct hierarchical paradigms. As a result, the text might not be as rigidly within a "scientific" form of discourse as you might expect...which is to say, the WAY he delivers his message is in a sense the message itself. He's not trying to tell you what UFOs are, or where they come from. It seems to me he's trying to get you (the reader) to actively construct a more encompassing model of reality while engaging yourself with the text...whether that be this book, or your awareness. Highly recommended.

I really didn't like this book because it really was not about saucers. Saucers should not be part of the title.

I bought several books by Mr. Keith in order to get acquainted with the wealth of information this author/investigator has in the mind control/UFO subjects. I guess that I began by reading a book which might not be up to his previous ones. I still don't know, I will have to read all of them. This one was his last book before he passed away. I only hope his previous ones are not as disorganized as this is.To begin, he tries to cover so many subjects in each chapter that he confuses the reader. When he expressed an opinion he makes it sure that he may or not may be telling the truth -- he doesn't know [Page 88]. At least he is honest. He writes about so many conspiracies intermingled between each other that at the end of the chapter no one knows which conspiracy ties with which one, and so forth.It is a pity, because the author seems to have good information on the conspiracy subject. When he comes to talk about UFO, well, he says that he does not know if the phenomenon is real or is a delusion. Wow! Why? Because sometimes he says it is real and then further down he says that he does not believe it is [Last chapter: UFOs at the Edge of Reality]. This chapter is a "lecture" he delivered in Atlanta, Georgia on November, 1995. It gives the impression that he was improvising when he gave this lecture.The author spends several pages on the semantics of reality, and then he goes to talk on his two "encounters" he had with two entities under an LSD experience --where he says,"...LSD and other hallucinogenics do not so much cause hallucinations..." No? And what do they cause, hangover?At the end of those paragraphs he is not quite sure if what he experienced was real or not. Then, he makes so many silly comments everywhere such as... "The childlike alien might as well have been on a mission from George Bush". Or where he spends about three pages on an example of the Panda bear myth...Wow! I finish reading this book because if I want to have an opinion on something, then I must read it completely.I think that this book was written under the influence of some kind of substance because it really doesn't make any sense at all...even on the author's own words. Pitiful.

A very exciting book about a very mysterious subject, I had trouble trying to put the boook down, it is captivating

Like Keith, many of us listened to Strieber and Art Bell in the late 90's early 00's but how many wrote a mini-dissertation/essay on what they heard? This is basically his thoughts of UFO's at that time which was that examination table grey theme trending back then. I say then because the fortean agenda has moved forward a few clicks since then making the content here seem dated. Good one time toilet read and one worth picking up second hand bookstore if you are lucky to have them in your neck of the planet.

Good enough reading but nothing new and exciting.

I'm buying this book, but I already know ALL about it, because I have been living this nightmare for the past two years. I was targeted (trading on Sirius Satellite Radio..yeah). Now I'm harassed and followed around by orbs, fake holographic aircraft (Chemtrail Planes are them), and all kinds of Occult stalkers. It should be an interesting book, from my perspective, don't you think?

Interesting.

If you believe in UFOs and/or alien abductions then you will be greatly disappointed with this book. On the other hand, if you are a fan of the type of conspiracies as postulated by the likes of David Icke then you might like to read this book.However, I suggest to both camps that you will need to re-read the end. The metaphysical philosophy of the author may confuse even the most patient if readers; plus, there are a number of contradictions to the main issues raised throughout the book.

Worth a read. recommended.

Very interesting book... singular research.

i do try to stay away from conspiracy theorists and this book is one good reason why, this book seems to put it self into the domain of rigid thought processes, namely that a group of renegade humans[illuminati] are responsible for all of the ufo abduction pheneomena, through the use of psychotronic drugs and other way out means, whilst im not saying it doesnt/hasnt gone on to say that its the main cause is almost as bad as saying there are no other intelligent forces around which itself is pretty dogmatic i do not recommend
