Our Secret Century

Posted by <Xnoubis> on Sunday April 09, @07:09AM
from the you-gotta-believe-me dept.

Was I dreaming? Last week, I saw a television commercial that made my eyes bug out. It was, I think, a new Time-Life book series, Secrets of the Century, a collection of revealed conspiracies in an attractive ten-volume set. The first volume, Inside the CIA, can be yours if you yadda yadda yadda . . .

It wasn't so long ago that conspiracy theory was the exclusive property of us on the lunatic fringe. But I suppose that was before Waco, Oliver Stone's JFK, and Richard Mellon Scaife. Now we have a large compilation of What The Government Is Afraid to Tell You, only slightly watered down from the writings of Robert Anton Wilson. I wouldn't be surprised if a later volume were dedicated to the Federalists and the Bavarian Illuminati.

But to cap it off, I now can find no reference to the series at the Time-Life website or anywhere else. Was it my imagination? Or were alien influences beaming private messages directly into my retina?

Anybody else seen this?

Thelema.

You're not crazy. According to Amazon, it's ISBN 0783519516 and due to be published in May. (I found it by power searching on Time-Life as publisher and CIA as title keyword.) So perhaps it's not up at Time-Life because it's not actually out yet – and they're trying to get pre-orders through the TV ads…

I'd say, hang out a couple weeks, then check back at T-L and I betcha it'll be there.

  At least, you're not crazy in that department… outside of you worrying about weird book ads being beamed into your brain, all bets are off.\\ \\
