About this listen
A deep dive into high stakes killings, conspiracies, and crimes!
Ruthless killers and murderers for hire: they are here, there, and everywhere. They lurk in the shadows, ready to pounce. They terminate on command. And, in the process, they change the course of the world. They are among the world's most cold-hearted, deadly, and emotionless figures. They are assassins, and they have a long history of grievous deeds.
From the cunning, calculating, government-trained warriors to the psychopathic, homegrown freelancers, you can find them all in Assassinations: The Plots, Politics, and Powers Behind History-Changing Murders. Exposed are the hidden agendas as well as the open warfare. The cynical preparations and devastating aftermaths are laid bare.
You will quickly find yourself immersed in a world that is filled with killings made to seem like suicides, murders that were designed to look like heart attacks or overdoses, and accidents that, in reality, were carefully orchestrated deaths.

Story
Everyone has heard of Close Encounters of the Third Kind. But what about close encounters of the fatal kind? The field of UFOs is rife with unsettling examples of suspicious deaths. Accounts of accidents that might not have been accidents after all, abound. Researchers and witnesses have vanished, never to be seen again. Conveniently timed heart attacks are reported. Out-of-the-blue suicides that, upon investigation, bear the distinct hallmarks of murder, are all too common.

Story
More and more people are beginning to realize that we are being manipulated and lied to. We are denied access to secrets that shouldn’t be secrets. Our politicians obfuscate, deny, and outright lie. No one knows whom to trust. The nightly news is being replaced by carefully orchestrated propaganda. Our iPhones are monitored, as are our laptops and our landlines. As for social media, that too is ripe for spying by men in black suits. No wonder, then, that the last few years have seen an incredible rise in conspiracy theories about deceptions and cover-ups.

Throughout history, folklore, and mystery, tales have circulated of massive stones being moved through the air effortlessly, seemingly by means of sound. Bizarre? Well, yes, it is. That doesn’t negate the fact that sound was, and still remains, the key to the construction of the pyramids of Egypt, Stonehenge, the stone figures of Easter Island, and the massive stones at Baalbek, Lebanon. Were they the work of ancient humans, of equally ancient extraterrestrials, or of both?

According to numerous abductees, after being kidnapped by aliens, they are kidnapped again...by the government. These follow-up events are the work of a powerful group hidden deep within the military and the intelligence community. It is the secret agenda of this highly classified organization to figure out what the so-called Grays are really up to. The best way for the government to get the answers is to interrogate those who have come face-to-face with the UFO phenomenon: the abductees.

Area 51, Hangar 18, the Montauk facility - these are just a few of the select, highly classified installations which governments prefer that we, the general public, remain steadfastly ignorant. These same governments have reasons for wanting to keep us in the dark. It is at these secret facilities that for decades, clandestine research has reportedly been undertaken into crashed UFOs, deceased alien entities, lethal viruses, biological warfare, mind-control experimentation, and much, much more.

Story
The key to unlocking the mystery of President Kennedy’s assassination and a possible UFO connection lie in events that occurred 18 years earlier in post-war Germany. In 1945, John F. Kennedy was a guest of Navy Secretary James Forrestal, where he personally witnessed technological secrets that have still not been disclosed to the world. These secrets stemmed from extraterrestrial technologies that Nazi Germany had acquired and were attempting to use in their weapons programs.

I enjoyed it
I like. It. I think I like Close encounters of the Fatal Kind better. I’m not sure why he wrote this book since much of it is identical to the earlier book. It is entertaining. I’m glad the author keeps working away at his writing cottage industry

Bait and Switch- AVOID
If you are considering listening to this audio book because you interested in history or true crime and find the study of assassinations particularly fascinating, be warned, this book is a complete rip-off. Some genuine cases of actual assassinations are briefly touched on, but the majority of this book is a ten-story belly flop dive into National Enquirer-style speculation on UFO conspiracies and Illuminati machinations with some non-relevant blather about the crimes of various killers like Jack the Ripper. Saucy Jack was a murderer, but he was not an assassin. An assassin is someone who kills a person of political or social standing, usually for a specific agenda other than pure bloodlust. As an ardent student of real history, I found this book alternatingly infuriating and exasperating. Save your money and your time and look for something else to listen to.

The Absolute Worst book I’ve listened to yet!!!
DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!!!
Title is Assassinations but it has very little to do with that topic unless you go with some people died. They may have been assassinated?!?
Otherwise it’s all UFOs, mind control, Men in Black, conspiracies that may be but real but no real content. Just a lot of maybes and nothing factual or historical. Lots and lots of words that said nothing…
