davesag 's review for:
Them: Adventures with Extremists
by Jon Ronson
I read this a few years ago and while wandering along a train platform with this book in hand, reading and walking, I got jumped on by three huge police dogs and stopped and searched "for drugs" the police said. It was all rather weird, but so is this book. Ronson is amazing. he goes right to the source of many a conspiracy theory and interviews the core people involved. Now it is of course possible that Ronson, and his books are actually part of a giant meta-conspiracy, ala the Illuminatus books, but that's patently ridiculous (or is it?)
Either way this book is partly scary and partly hilarious. His chapter on the penetration of Bohemian Grove (baby sacrifices and burning owl statues and all!) with arch conspiracy-monger Alex Jones is fascinating. Yes there is clearly more to global 'real-politik' than the papers tell us, but the book makes it plain that there is no 'there' there.
