Reviews of The Truth Agenda
‘If you’ve ever thought there was more to 2012 prophecies, UFOs, crop circles and other unexplained mysteries, this is the book for you. From the pyramids of Ancient Egypt to visions of the future, Andy Thomas explores the evidence that the whole truth is being kept from us, and looks at compelling reasons why. This book is full of important questions, highlighting a need to look much deeper into world events and wake up to what’s really going on. The author blows the cover on what he says are major cover-ups – for example, evidence of extra-terrestrial life and paranormal phenomena that’s held by governments around the world. It’s enough to leave you feeling hopeless and a bit scared about how much we’re being lied to. But thankfully, and rather brilliantly, Thomas explains how we can transform pessimism into positive action, and presents further incredible evidence for the power of collective positive thought. Utterly mind-blowing’ ***** [MUST-READ of the month] – Spirit & Destiny
'This book is an essential guide to the many mysteries, global cover-ups and prophecies of 21st century life. Thomas is a highly persuasive expert. His standpoint is not to promote cranky alien theories [but to explore] subjects ranging from the lunar landings to 9/11 via the shady goings on at the Bohemian Grove... ...He explores facts, discrepancies and hard evidence, inviting you to draw your own conclusions... ...I found much of this utterly fascinating and will be barbequeing out on Thomas's findings all summer... ...This book is a triple-strength espresso-charged wake up call' **** - Kindred Spirit
‘One of the admirable qualities of The Truth Agenda is the way in which Andy Thomas lays his cards on the table: the book is an ambitious attempt to do exactly what its subtitle proclaims [‘Making Sense of Unexplained Mysteries, Global Cover-Ups and 2012 Prophecies’]… …It develops a clear arc over the course of its four sections, culminating in what can be seen as a ‘truth seeker’ call to arms… …While I do not disbelieve that the Moon landings happened, I am more than half-convinced that the visual record has been tinkered with, and that NASA, so intent on selling it to the world, ended up making a rod for its own back. Thomas makes a good case for such a scenario here; and reminds us that governments do indeed lie to us… …Ultimately, Thomas’s argument is that whether or not anything momentous takes place in 2012, we should be acting to alter the dominant, manipulative hegemony anyway, trying to develop a positive global consciousness as opposed to our current memetic one as mere worker ants. We should challenge and question, for simply by virtue of doing so we will ultimately effect global change… …The conspiracy theory tag for The Truth Agenda is unavoidable, but Thomas makes a concerted effort to avoid that reflective, mercury-like quality of so many conspiracy theories, which continually shift position to elude each new rational challenge put before them. With comprehensive notes, links and appendices, this is a useful overview of the current situation regarding some key ‘alternative’ topics’ – Fortean Times
‘This accessible and comprehensive book is an excellent guide to conspiracy theories, unexplained mysteries and 2012 prophecies. It provides detailed and convincing illustrated insights into everything from UFOs to the 9/11 conspiracy theory – the chapter on which I would highly recommend’ – Soul & Spirit
‘This entertaining book scans a vast timeline from pyramid mysteries, crop circles and UFOs to a collection of modern conspiracy theories, such as the recent banking collapse, War on Terror, the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, and the Apollo Moon landings. For those that question the official line, this is a superb book, full of fascination and wonder. The first part of the book presents an in-depth look at intriguing news stories. The latter part suggests a right-wing organisation is intent on causing global conflict and confusion. The author, Andy Thomas, makes no attempt, however, to convince us that we are being hoodwinked. He merely presents alternative views and leaves us to make up our own minds… …The last chapters suggest that we can take control of our own destiny through personal and collective responsibility. Andy Thomas is a skilful researcher, lecturer and writer and has many successful books about the unexplained to his credit…. …This book is written with a rare ability to articulate complex ideas in a simple way, is immensely well-researched and is immaculately presented, with over 100 colour photos. It is exceptional value for money and the best book on the subject I have read’ – Paradigm Shift
‘This book explores a number of contentious topics, asking why so many people now believe in so-called conspiracy theories and what evidence there is to support them. Given the number of areas covered, readers will regard some as more central than others, which will go beyond their individual boggle thresholds: Egyptian technology, crop circles, UFOs, Marian apparitions, the surveillance society, doubts about the Moon landings, examples of government deception in connection with the Gulf War and 9/11, the campaign against natural medicine, and 2012. This is less wacky than it sounds, as there are interesting connections between a number of these themes, for instance the agenda to bring about a New World Order. Each topic is examined in some depth, and at the end the author suggests how the ‘truth agenda’ might be applied… …The fourth part mobilises some hope [about] the level of the power of collective thought and positive action… …The author joins the dots in a stimulating overview of our global situation’ – Scientific and Medical Network Journal
'A glossy, eye-catching production with scores of topical colour illustrations and a comprehensive appendix of online resources... ...Intelligent and analytical, Andy Thomas's balanced approach is to steer a middle course between conspiracy theory fanaticism on the one hand and, on the other, general public unawareness of the fascinating but sometimes confusing tapestry of hidden agendas and mysterious events that seem to be secretly shaping our world today... ... A profoundly disturbing but ultimately uplifting handbook for these turbulent times of millennial psychic change' - Western Daily Press
