Snapping: America's Epidemic of Sudden Personality Change

"Classic Returns!....In this expanded edition of the 1978 original, Conway and Siegelman continue their study of the altering of the American psyche, which has led to the rise of religious cults, super Christian sects, private citizen militias, and other phenomena that dominate today's headlines. Probably more timely now than when first published, this is an important title for academic and public libraries." - Library Journal

"Their book is judicious, sensible, well-researched and very frightening." - New York Times Book Review

"It is a book of investigative reporting at its best." - New York Post

"What Woodward and Bernstein were to Watergate, Conway and Siegelman may well be to the cults." - United Press International

"Credible and chilling . . . The second edition of SNAPPING is as important a resource in understanding spreading societal chaos as the first edition was in explaining the chaos of cults." - Minneapolis Star-Tribune

"Important. . . . this book provides a tool to exercise judgment, monitor incoming information, and interpret what has become an increasingly intrusive battle for our minds. . . . At its core, it is language that holds the key to our mental health or to our destruction. What George Orwell's 'Animal Farm' is to literature, 'SNAPPING' is to non-fiction." - Albuquerque Journal

"In a prophetic vein. . . . SNAPPING is not only fascinating and frightening reading, it is also extremely well-written. . . . The escalating pattern of cult fanaticism and religious-political terror that the authors call a 'death spiral' seems to be widening. If we do nothing to understand and ultimately reverse that pattern, it will pull more and more innocent people into its vortex." - Cleveland Jewish News

"For anyone threatened with snapping, this book is a dispassionate, valuable study of an often frightening phenomenon." - People

"There is no doubt that Conway and Siegelman are opening the door on areas of human understanding that have never been examined and that are in urgent need of study." - New Society

"SNAPPING is an exciting and responsible and original piece of research that has taught this old poop amazing new ways to think about the human mind." - Kurt Vonnegut

"SNAPPING is by far the best and most scientific treatment of the cult problem yet published. For the scientist, politician, clergy or parent, it is valuable and wonderfully readable." - John G. Clark, M.D. Asst. Clinical Professor of Psychiatry Harvard Medical School

"Conway and Siegelman . . . place cultic behavior in the wider context of the communication revolution of our time. . . Indeed, SNAPPING unfolds as a traveling detective investigation. . . . they very capably trace and analyze the course of the phenomenon and . . . contribute greatly to our understanding of it." - The Cult Observer

"Conway and Siegelman are onto something important. . . . SNAPPING is a fascinating book with frightening implications." - Edward T. Hall, author of The Silent Language

"[The] classic book on cults, still the best book ever. . . . Believe me, folks, these are the real experts." - Geraldo Rivera

The Control of Candy Jones

"Candy Jones" was the stage name of Jessica Wilcox (b. 1921) who became famous as a model and "pinup girl" in the early 1940s. Her story seems too bizarre to be true. One of America's most famous models, brainwashed by the CIA? Yes, it is another example of truth being stranger than fiction.

The story begins with Candy's wedding to Long John Nebel, New York's most successful radio talk-show host. During the wedding, and regularly thereafter, Candy's personality would seem to shift. She would suddenly change from her affable, self-effacing self to a brusque, aggressive "stranger." For the first few months of the marriage, these shifts were infrequent enough that Nebel didn't worry much about it, but as time went on, they got worse.

Nebel began trying to relax his wife by hypnotizing her. Although Candy insisted that she couldn't be hypnotized, she slipped easily into a relaxed state, and then into a healthy, deep sleep. But during the third session, with no suggestion from Nebel, Candy spontaneously regressed to a young age. After that, Nebel began to record their sessions.

The result of these sessions was that Nebel discovered his wife had been brainwashed into having a second identity, "Arlene," whom a CIA doctor had used to carry messages all over the world. Eventually, Candy was tortured at CIA headquarters, so that her doctor could display her "successful" programming.

"The Control of Candy Jones" sent shockwaves through the corridors of power when it was first published in 1976. After reportedly being suppressed by the CIA, it became an instant classic, and remains so today.

The October Scenario: UFO Abductions, Theories About Them and a Prediction of When They Will Return

Pat Roach was asleep with her children in their house in Utah when she met them.

Susan Ramstead was on her way to a business meeting in a Midwestern city. Dionisio LLanca was on an overnight trip in Argentina.

Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker were fishing in Mississippi.

Leigh Proctor was on her way home from vacation when it happened.

It was during October of 1973 that all of these people shared an experience. And it was during October of 1973 that hundreds of others had the experience of a lifetime. It is unfortunate that no one realized what was happening. We can only hope that next time we'll be ready.

"Tremendous research...New insights into UFO abductions." Warren Smith - UFO Mysteries

"This is a theory that certainly deserves consideration. UFO flaps occur with cyclical consistency." Ralph Blum - Beyond Earth: Man's contact with UFOs

The Mind Stealers - Psychosurgery and Mind Control

An alarmed overview of contemporary methods of mind control which recoils at government agencies' unconstitutional techniques and willingness to finance dubious research and finds evidence of equally grim attitudes ingrained in scientific research practices. Chavkin has gathered together many headline stories of recent years (CIA brainwashing and LSD experiments, the Jensen-Schockley controversy, prison behavior modification attempts, Tuskegee's untreated-syphilis patients) and examined the work of influential theorists like Ervin and Mark and E. O. Wilson, and he perceives distressing patterns of contempt and denial of rights. Chavkin goes to the heart of the matter, indicating his sources and rationing his expressions of outrage; for an even more forceful indictment.

The Tujunga Canyon Contacts: A Continuing Chain Reaction of UFO Encounters and Abductions

THE TUJUNGA CANYON CONTACTS tells the true stories of five young women "abductees" who lived in and near Tujunga Canyon, northeast of Los Angeles, and who were all linked by more or less intimate personal relationships. The abductions and related events, which took place over a period of more than two decades, were first investigated by UFO researcher Ann Druffel for five full years, and later by Druffel and parapsychologist D. Scott Rogo together. Many of the abduction details first revealed in the Tujunga Canyon case have been confirmed in the hundreds of cases that followed it. First published during the peak of the 20th century's UFO abduction epidemic, THE TUJUNGA CANYON CONTACTS was only the second book written about so-called "alien abductions." This edition of the classic work contains the two new chapters prepared for the updated version of the book. During this updating of the story, Druffel first realized that abduction scenarios can be fended off by strong-willed, confident experiencers, since three of the five young women intuitively discovered, and used, various "resistance techniques" to fend off, and eventually end, the harrowing attacks.

Psychic Dictatorship in America

Psychic Dictatorship in America?

It can’t happen here? Think again.

In the 1930s, a group called the Mighty I AM swept upwards of a million Americans into its nationalist fervor under the banner of the “Ascended Master” Saint Germain. Created and led by the charismatic Guy and Edna Ballard, the I AM movement brought the concept of Ascended Masters to mainstream America. In Psychic Dictatorship in America, former member Gerald Bryan reveals:

• The fascist roots of the organization.
• Guy Ballard’s con man background.
• Sources of plagiarized work.
• Guy and Edna Ballard’s outrageous tales of masters and magic.
• How the Ballards extracted money from their followers.
• Teachings on sex, animals, America, and enemies of the group.
• Decrees of hatred and death.
• The Ballards’ fascination with the White House and their belief that Guy Ballard was George Washington reembodied.
• How the promise of the Ascension was used to lure followers into total subjugation to the will of the Ballards . . . and much, much more.

This candid, engaging book is filled with detail. It gives you a ringside seat to observe one of the strangest movements to captivate the minds and hearts of Americans.

Aliens Among Us

From the Publisher

Ruth Montgomery, a former syndicated newspaper columnist, turned spiritual writer, brings her readers along on her paranormal explorations throughout her best-selling books. She began with automatic writing, and her guides from the Other Side continue to lead her to new and more esoteric subject matter. Each time, she pushes through her skepticism because of the persistence of her guides and from synchronistic letters from readers urging her to write about the subject she was resisting. You can imagine that she approached the subject of extraterrestrials with similar reluctance. Before Shirley MacLaine was writing about reincarnation and out-of-body experiences, Ruth Montgomery led the way. While I don't know that I believe in extraterrestrial or UFO's, I always enjoy the her writing and her sense of discovery while tackling a new and different phenomena. -M. Coolman Ballantine Publicity

From the Inside Flap

Author Ruth Montgomery, now offers dramatic new evidence of the extrarterrestrial aliens who are already among us and how they will guide us through the New Age about to dawn at the end of this century. In these pages, you will learn: The secrets of real men and women (including a U.S. president) who have encountered aliens; the secrets of the psychic power centers both on the earth--and beyond it; the secrets about UFO phenomena our government has covered up for decades; and more.
