Book Reviews of Trance: Formation of America
Book Review: Shocking Events
Summary: 5 Stars
For me this was a terrible eye opener. I heard about the book from David Icke's books. Got curious and ordered. I have trouble reading some passages as I have to stop and cry for Kathy and others like her that we know nothing about. I recommend all parents to read this book and to be more alert to dangers from close relatives to their innocent children.Book Review: Ms Ethel
Summary: 5 Stars
This book takes a lot of courage to read and once you know this couple as I do, you absolutely have no doubts to their credibility. I cannot believe how they could have survived but one knows that they did. God has looked over them and now He will look over Americans if they only open their minds to this truth.Book Review: Strange, hilarious, perplexing book by baffling couple
Summary: 4 Stars
Former CIA agent (does anyone ever really retire from the CIA?) Mark Phillips and his (alleged former government mind-control sex-slave) wife Cathy O'Brien-Phillips have written the mother of all conspiracy books with Trance Formation of America (erroneously listed by Amazon under two different titles and authors). I have read the book, listened to the couple lecture in person, and personally met and shared dinner with the couple, and I still don't know what to make of them. I am by no means a hardcore skeptic of conspiracy theories. As a matter of fact, I think many of the folks who summarily dismiss the idea of government conspiracies are "coincidence theorists" and tend to have their heads buried in the sand.
Having said that, it would be an understatement to say that Trance Formation is out of control gonzo conspiracy storytelling. This book defies all description and takes the genre to a whole new level of weirdness. Cathy and Mark have basically written a porn novel for the god-and-country born-again militia crowd, complete with tales of Cathy performing cunnilingus on a sweaty and gamey Hillary Clinton and being raped by George H.W. Bush, Ronald Reagan, and a whole cast of well-known characters. Even bland, uninteresting (yet admittedly contemptible) politicos such as Bill Bennett and Dick Cheney appear as unlikely villains with their laughably bad 60's-monster-movie-style dialogue appearing in quotes. Even country music has-been Boxcar Willie is dragged into the picture (!!??) as an alleged pedophile who is part of the secret network of sex-slave users.
When speaking personally with Mr. Phillips over dinner after a lecture (among a large group of sponsors and supporters), his tone of grave concern and duty to his country was replaced by a charming, relaxed demeanor of jovial, devil-may-care enjoyment at the opportunity to rub elbows with a mixed bag of fringe media freaks. All talk of "what we need to do to stop this horrible scourge on humanity" went right out the window. The gig was over, the books were signed, the job was done.
I haven't figured these folks out. After many years of consideration, I have come to believe they may very well be engaged in disinformation, intended to discredit and cast in a bad light those with genuine stories (assuming such stories exist) of mind control and sex abuse at the hands of sinister shadow-government figures. (If you don't think the CIA engages in disinfo every single day, think again).
I could be completely wrong about this, and in a way I hope I am... I found Mr. Phillips very likeable and pleasant indeed, so I don't wish to "bash" him. But all I know is that for anyone with an IQ over 90, this book reads like parody of the conspiracy genre, something conceived by the writers at The Onion or the Daily Show. Approach with caution, and prepare to have a good laugh and walk away scratching your head in puzzlement.
Book Review: Mindless gibberish for fools
Summary: 1 Stars
First off if you believe the tall tales this book tells then you'll believe ANYTHING. No, I don't like our leadership as it stands but I dislike lying con artists even more.
Secondly, you may pooh-pooh my review. Fine! But i would suggest you do a net search and find out what Anthony Sutton had to say about the book. Hint: Not good! Don't know who Anthony Sutton is? Well, find out first, get HIS books (he's dead by the way) and then see if you believe slop like this book.
Book Review: Entertaining story but totally fictional
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this book in 2002 and, having read all sorts of conspiracy theories regarding Pres. Bush, "Skull & Bones", "satanic ritual abuse", and other things on the Internet, I was skeptical, but fully prepared to believe a story like this if it could be supported by any evidence at all.
I'll say this: "Trance: Formation" is a hell of a story. The real-life politicians' personalities are captured exactly as you would expect, from a child molesting Gerald Ford to a child molesting Bush Sr. to a coke-snorting Bill Clinton and a lesbian Hillary Clinton to a creepily sadistic Sen. Robert Byrd to perhaps the most classic character of all, a psychotic "Most Dangerous Game"-playing Dick Cheney who allegedly raped her repeatedly with his oversized member in between rounds of hunting her like a wild animal on a secret military base in the forests of California and drinking and coke snorting (plus all the crazy CIA-grade "mind control drugs" they were doing, of course).
