I watched this a couple years ago, and it is what got me to read the book. I was pumped to get this book. Seemed like it had everything I was looking for, and I considered Levenda to be on the academic side of the spectrum, so he could be trusted more. Unfortunately, I was disappointed. He never concluded or proved anything. He just kept making intriguing connections. Then, I read the second volume, hoping he was getting at something. He didnt. Then I started the third volume. I heard rumors that he came to a conclusion about mind control being used by the government, but I got about 100 pages in and just couldnt take it anymore. It is all just connections.Posted by boutreality (here)
Anything on the Levenda take of the Nazi link to Occult/interest in paranormal post WW2? Since, as I said, I am satisfied to move onto the New Age part of the thread.
I say this not to be contrarian but just to let you know. It's my opinion. I could be wrong. Like I said, I was very excited to read this book and had high hopes.
It has been a couple years since I read Sinister Forces, so I looked at the Amazon reviews to refresh my memory. Someone there had some similar thoughts: "Interesting, but it is essentially a shopping list of connections with no deeper understanding presented."
Also, if you dont want to buy these books, you can get them from the library. That's what I did. Some of them are even available on the internet in pdf form, including several of Marrs' and Farrell's books.
