This collection of articles from Paranoia magazine contains the usual hodgepodge of theories about the JFK assassination, UFO cover-ups, and CIA mind-control techniques. But it also has a few surprises, like the suggestion that David Bowie has been in contact with alien beings ever since the days of Major Tom and Ziggy Stardust, or that Paul McCartney may have ordered a hit on his former bandmate John Lennon. While the editors admit in their foreword that they're willing to sacrifice plausibility for the sake of entertainment value, conspiracy theory purists may be more frustrated than amused by items like this rather bizarre theory about Star Trek: "When we analyze [Captain James T. Kirk's] name, we first notice that James was the brother of Jesus.... Kirk's middle name was Tiberius, a Roman general and emperor. 'Kirk' is the most common European-language spelling of the word we know in English as 'church.' Put these all together: (brother of) Jesus, Roman (emperor), church, and what do you have? It was the Roman Catholic Church that was, symbolically, in control of the Enterprise."

"Weirdness on a grand scale ... a dizzying web of connections!"
