I am a reader of conspiracy literature, and Alexander Constantine is one of the smarter writers of this genre. Now I believe that conspiracy literature should be read as entertainment and to get bits of useful information, not to be taken seriously as political analysis.
Constantine has a knack for digging up useful information, even if his conclusions are off base.
His essay on the McMartin scandal is one of his worst ones. He cherry picks many facts about this discredited child abuse witchhunt to fit his conclusion that it was a CIA child slave operation.
On the O.J. Simpson, it is a little better read, as he lists many interesting potential connections the case had to organized crime. But no real analysis of what may have really happened.
The last essay on the military connections of the militias of the 1990's is better. It does make one wonder why many of the leaders and members of these proto-fascist entities were former military, or were they former? Something to think about as organized right wing violence increases in this era.
