Excellent. It deserves visuals…but the truly hungry fund food. The stars declare “Truth Reigns!”

Communist Manifestation

Revisado: 02-07-24

Well, this mush-brained money grubber idealized his grandfather, a Jewish-Russian immigrant who apparently was the head of the US communist party in the 1920‘s. Remember the guy named Joe Stalin? Hitler and Stalin had equally genocidal tendencies, but Uncle Joe gets a pass. Hmmm.

Superb

Revisado: 08-26-23

While decidedly an academic work, the author presents a medley of snippets harvested from among the oldest and most venerated texts on the subject, all with exacting reference locations. The references allow the reader the opportunity to further explore each salient point — should she choose to do so. This bibliographic referencing is done in-line, which may be disconcerting to some listeners. I love it. I also appreciate that the author presents multiple viewpoints, often contradictory. Again, this is the true value of this work. Mr. Malinson is not evangelical, he’s a scholar who is generous enough to digest and share his research. Well done James!

Not impressed.

Revisado: 07-22-21

I really don’t get the overwhelmingly positive reviews. I mean, sure, it’s got some cool, cutting-edge science (pun intended) but the characters felt generic, cliche, like cardboard cutouts droning on and on about quantum physics this or cosmic background radiation that. Maybe I couldn’t get past the Chinese cop character sounding like Joey Buttafuoco. All the symbology felt super in-your-face.

Spider-Sense Tells me Ms. Ward is Culpable

Revisado: 07-18-21

This podcast series, from first episode to the last, wears a very thin, weather-worn, veneer of investigative reporting, a veneer intended to burnish Vicky Ward’s sullied reputation after she and Vanity Fair, by failing to act, allowed Epstein’s pedophilia ring to go on for an additional twenty years. This piece feels like a misguided attempt to resurrect her own image by shifting blame away from her old drinking buddy, Ghislaine, and to the nebulous evil, “male power”, Ms Ward exposes her Telltale Heart. Shame on you — and your Audible editor.

Ego Piece

Revisado: 09-22-19

Sadly, the interesting topic is diminished by the author’s relentless pursuit of self congratulation. His thin vail of modesty — his attempt to share accolades and scientific credit with fellow colleagues — is, per his narrative style, never free of personal pronouns that redirect the listener back to the real focus of the book — the “miraculous” leadership of a scientist who would like us to believe that he took receipt of Feinman’s Mantle within the first chapter of the book. Yawn. The laughably sloppy chain of custody described in the field work phase of the discoveries — the climax of the storyline — leaves little wonder that the Russians, in a subsequent follow-up excavation, failed to replicate the initial findings of the author’s theorized ultra-exotic, cosmically generates “quasi-crystalline” that happen to be so small that an electron microscope is a halfway measure toward identification. The story would have been far more interesting if the author chose the focus on the controversy and then work backward. In the end, I’m left wondering if, in fact, accusations are true that the author and his team had planted “synthetic” alloys within a haystack, a haystack the author describes as looking a bit like a “dog’s breakfast” — a gastronomic autopsy so rare that he and his team are, pretty much, the only persons on the planet qualified and capable of peer review. Methinks the scribe doth overmuch protest.
