63 Documents the Government Doesn't Want You to Read

By: Jesse Ventura, Dick Russell

Narrated by: George K. Wilson

Length: 12 hrs and 58 mins

Publisher's summary

There's the Freedom of Information Act, and then there's Ventura's way. The official spin on numerous government programs is flat-out bull, according to Jesse Ventura. In this incredible collection of actual government documents, Ventura, the ultimate nonpartisan truth-seeker, proves it beyond any doubt. He and Dick Russell walk listeners through 63 of the most incriminating programs to reveal what really happens behind the closed doors. In addition to providing original government data, Ventura discusses what it really means and how regular Americans can stop criminal behavior at the top levels of government and in the media. Among the cases discussed:

• The CIA's top-secret program to control human behavior
• Operation Northwoods: the military plan to hijack airplanes and blame it on Cuban terrorists
• The discovery of a secret Afghan archive, information that never left the boardroom
• Potentially deadly healthcare cover-ups, including a dengue fever outbreak

What the Department of Defense knows about our food supply but is keeping mum Although these documents are now in the public domain, the powers that be would just as soon they stay under wraps. Ventura's research and commentary sheds new light on what they're not telling you---and why it matters.

Imperative Read

History records no more gallant struggle than that of humanity against the truth.

Ashleigh Brilliant

Probably better in print version for visuals of documents.

Truth Hurts

As always Jesse Ventura does a great job of documenting everything he writes about.
Hard to listen too only because I love my country and it saddens me to learn of the evil that is done by its political arm. Gives good cause to "watch" the government and question everything it does. Also gives you the sense that if you don't vote you aint got a bitch!

get the hard copy

Great information, but I'd suggest getting the hard copy. The best thing about this one, as opposed to the conspiracy book, is that he includes actual documents to look at yourself. The paper copy is a good reference guide. But the information is still important.

Excellent sleep aid and little else

Monotonic narration by [redacted] concerning [redacted] and [obfuscated] could cause listener to fall asleep quickly. Wish I could make some money reading boring memoranda in detail all the way down to the index. Narrator could read IRS tax form instructions in detail and it would be more interesting than this.

Governor, next time you may want to write about your days jumping off the top rope onto Hulk Hogan - it would be far more interesting and entertaining.

Disapointed

What did you like best about 63 Documents the Government Doesn't Want You to Read? What did you like least?

It's very well documented, but the narrator is as exciting as plywood, and I'm losing complete interest, I have to force myself to finish to listen to it. It would have been GREAT if it was read by Mr. Ventura himself, he is so interesting and passionate when he speaks.

Would you recommend 63 Documents the Government Doesn't Want You to Read to your friends? Why or why not?

Not in the audible format, maybe the real book.

Would you be willing to try another one of George K. Wilson’s performances?

Depends on the type of book. Don't get me wrong, he has a great voice, but too monotone for this kind of book.

A few interesting nuggets

Many of items are probably new to those who don't study or research our own history much... theses are a useful survey across the government most rarely watch.

Narrator is horrible," iPhone Siri " can do better

What would have made 63 Documents the Government Doesn't Want You to Read better?

After 1 chapter I had to stop. The Narrator is so dry that

What a lousy book!

Audible, I want a credit for this terrible book. In the book he's reading all these supposedly published documents but he doesn't back up anything with released fact. He just leaves everything hanging like an inuindo just trying to get you to think devisously instead of doing some basic fact checking. This book has been such an utter waste of time and material. Do yourself a favor and pick a different book, Geez a former Navy Seal should have done better than this piece of junk!

boring

Maybe, just maybe this is good as a regular book. There is interesting info but it is read in a monotone fashion and is just rediculously BORING!! Do NOT get this audiobook... buy the regular book if interested.

Yep ... a reading of 63 Government Documents ...

That is exactly what this audio book is ... a long droning reading of 63 complex government documents ... not pleasant and difficult to follow/interpret.
