Just fyi, that's not the full unredacted version. There is a large page count discrepancy between this version and the original. This version came out to write around what he wasn't allowed to document.
Bet it's about the real origins of the Jews and their ancestry among other things?
And thanks for the link.
There is a third edition on eBay from 1965, I believe, but it’s about $880
Wonder why they think it's worth so much? All of the redacted material remains redacted.
Over the last 4 days I read that book. There really wasn't a point in the book where he would argue an origin of the Jews. His argument is that the earth is going through these cycles of cataclysms where periodically, when the magnetic poles lose strength and the poles shift, the earth goes into some sort of wobble. If you observe the earth spinning at 1,000 MPH and then abruptly changing direction you can imagine that the oceans would devastate the land masses, flowing completely over any land on earth.
He argues that this is what happened 7,000 years ago (Noah's or Utnapishtim's flood). He also states that it happened 12,500 years ago and that Adam and Eve (Adam's daughter in his version) were survivors of that cataclysm, that they were part of a previous civilization. He basically believes that humans have repeatedly gone through these cataclysms and that, we as a species always get very technologically advanced but then get wiped back to near the stone age. The author appeared to know a lot about geology and anthropology and uses that as his reasons for hypothesizing these scenarios.
The book was overall pretty entertaining but pretty wild on assertions. As far as the CIA classifying it, I was trying to figure out why. At one point he goes off on a tangent about all people being able to perform ESP. I remember hearing about a CIA program where they were trying to seriously study that topic. perhaps they wanted to speak with the author and not let that information get to the public. Then at the end of the book he really goes off tangent and starts talking about the 16th amendment and that it was never ratified and people don't have to pay federal income taxes.
Here is a video where someone gives a pretty good summary of the book.
