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.

Needs to come with a WARNING for this narrator

Needs to come with a WARNING for this narrator, DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS NARRATOR WHILE DRIVING!!!!!!! My wife woke up and thought I was listening to her Kindle, he can't even pronounce words correctly, the computer voice for the W.O.P.P.E.R. war games computer was easier to understand...

I like Jesse, this is not to berate his book, I just HATE the narrator....

A Very Difficult Process

As revealing as this book may be, getting to do something about what Jesse Ventura suggests needs to be done in this country for greater transparency is perhaps not as difficult as listening to this audio. I have over twenty years of listening to books on tape and this is, by far, is the most excrutingly painful one to listen to. Each document is read, with all the boring bureaucratic language, and almost with every comma and period, in a boring tone of voice; it was so painful to listen to that I couldn't finish it; I would rather sit at the dentist's chair and get a root canal done, at least I would know it would done quicker.

Unlistenable

Really interested in this book but I'll have to get it in print, the narration is terrible almost robotic, I love listening to Jesse speak so was hoping he would be doing this himself, no such luck

hard to listen to

This is an audiobook that is probably better to read than listen to. The oft mentioned "redacted" and then George K. Wilson's monotone (almost mechanical or computer program) voice makes for a hard listen. The information is right on and topical but like I said its better to read it.

Really tough to listen to

don't get me wrong...I love Jesse Ventura and his books but all this conspiracy stuff is taking away his credibility. I would rather have his opinion of these documents and research behind them rather than listening to someone read these boring documents. Kind of a lazy effort and it shows.

Ugh!!!

The content is excellent!!!!! The narrator is terrible!!! I think there was a conspiracy to choose this narrator so no one would ever finish listening to the book and find out about all the important conspiratorial documents! I suggest reading it the old fashioned way if you really want to learn about it.

OMG...stay away....

This has become the most boring book I have and will ever hear. The reader Mr. MonoTone, makes it unbearable. The way the book is laid out has alot of documents, with each person noted at each sentence..THERE IS NO REASON the reader has to read it word for word somethings are implied...Ughh..I want a refund. I could not bore myself to sleep anymore...I gave it 3 hours of my life I will never get back. Only way this book can be saved is if Jesse reads it with his energy and leave some of the implied stuff out! Save your money, or buy it and read it, you can skip the implied stuff!
