It was with a sense of excitement that I opened my package from Arcturus
Books (Port St. Lucie, FL) to find Jim Keith's Casebook on Alternative 3.
Aha! I thought, now I'll find the truth of this bizarre A3 conspiracy
which I'd first encountered last year via a dog-eared xerox copy of the
second paperback edition of Alternative 3 by Watkins and Ambrose (Sphere,
1978). This much-passed-around xerox came to me highly recommended by
friends always up on the machinations of the ruling elite. So I read it
with interest, almost non-stop, and was intrigued, amazed and skeptical
all at the same time. This tale of a British television special of 1977
purported to document a heinous plot by the elite to establish secret
bases on the Moon and Mars where they will live once overpopulation and
pollution make this world uninhabitable.  Of course, getting from here to
there entails some pretty fiendish actions on  the part of the elite and
their agents. Such things as secret East Bloc -  West Bloc cooperation in
space, superior technology hidden from the masses, abduction of thousands
of people from the streets and fields of the world to provide the
necessary slave labor to get the job done, and zombiefication using the
latest techniques of mind control.  Not to mention the murder and
ruination of scientists and others who, once let in on the secret, got
cold feet and wanted to back out.
It seems to me just the sort of hair-brained scheme that a putative
'ruling elite' would come up with to save their asses when the going gets
rough.  After all, it's only a bit more grandiose than underground bunker
cities beneath the mountain ranges of the world, which we can be pretty
sure do exist.
Unfortunately the 'Alternative 3' scenario, as Jim Keith points out in the
very first chapter of his Casebook on Alternative 3, is easily debunked:
the British TV documentary is only a spoof and neither it nor the
subsequent book by Ambrose and Watkins have a leg to stand on.  Everything
about 'Alternative 3' can be dismissed: the phony interviews with phony
astronauts and scientists, the bald assertions of 'facts', the 'secret
transcripts' of  submarine conversations between Russian and American
conspirators, the bogus videotape of a secret NASA landing on Mars. All of
it is easily shown to be nonsense. And yet... And yet...  There is
something about Alternative 3 that has the ring of truth.  And this is
what bothers Keith. It bothers him enough that he spends the bulk of his
book trying to find out what it is.
And what Alternative 3 is -- although Keith doesn't say it in so many
words -- is practically a paradigm of applied conspiracy theory, or a
model, if you prefer.  For each of the wild assertions and scenarios in
Alternative 3 there is a plausible real-world match: There is a ruling
elite. They are  concerned with overpopulation and eugenics. There does
exist advanced technology of which we are only dimly aware.  People do
disappear and others die in mysterious circumstances.  And in government
laboratories around the world fiendish techniques of mind-control are
perfected using drugs, surgery, and radiation.
In drawing out these parallels Keith comes into his own. First he
describes the ruling elite, starting arbitarily with the Nazis (whose goal
of  genocidal population control is well known) and tracing the players in
the deadly game of world control back and forth from there. The
Freemasons, secret societies, Old Money, the CIA, the CFR, the Knights of
Malta, Reinhard Gehlen, the Dulles brothers, the Rockefellers and
Rothschilds, George Bush -- all are indicted in an ancient and ongoing
conspiracy for domination of this world.  These individuals and
organizations are the ruling elite.
Then Keith goes into the techniques these people use to seize and maintain
their power as their goal of total domination draws ever nearer: genocide,
murder, war, famine and pestilence, these are their tools in trade and
each is discussed in damning detail by Keith as he outlines the plot of
the moneyed few to own and control everything while the rest of the world
population becomes their unwitting slaves -- or a blanket of ash in their
charnel houses.
But forget the Nazis and their death camps, forget the atom bomb, forget
the planned genocides in North and South America and the starving millions
of the Third World.  Let's bring it on home.  Consider the present day
epidemic of penal institutions brought on by a phony War on Drugs,
consider the erosion of our Constitutional freedoms such as the right to
bear arms -- when the people have no guns, only the cops will have guns --
and consider AIDS:  a  nice way to get rid of the unwanted populace of
Africa and the so-called degenerates in the Western world.  And consider
television.  Jim Keith does. In this slim book he considers it all in
illuminating, scary detail and with a clarity of exposition that leads the
reader step by interlocked step to agree with his conclusions: there is a
ruling elite, they are organized and have been for a long time, they have
and will use any and every method to gain and maintain control of the
lives of the "unwanted masses", and all this for one  purpose only: to
maintain themselves in the power, control and luxury they see as theirs by
right of their innate superiority.
Then think what you will of UFOs and alien abductions, of who killed JFK
and does Elvis live. By the time you finish this book you'll toss all that
 nonsense aside for the bullshit disinformation that it is and face
Keith's final paragraph:
"Ultimately the details hardly matter, because of the single conclusion
that must be drawn.  To the men who control this world (and their
well-paid and smiling frontmen), we are all ultimately part of a 'batch
consignment', nothing more.  And unless society is transformed from the
inhuman control state we live in, unless the history of world domination
is exposed and strategies for its elimination implemented, then the human
race is doomed to live out this real world of Alternative 3."
Then ask yourself, Who do I slave for?  Read this book.--  Dave Hyde
