OPEN VERDICT
AN ACCOUNT OF 25 MYSTERIOUS DEATHS IN THE DEFENCE INDUSTRY (in the UK)
Three books are acknowledged: War on the Mind: The Military Uses and Abuses of Psychology (Peter Watson, 1978, or 1980 as it says on p 239). Spy (Richard Deacon & Nigel West, 1988). And GCHQ - The Secret Wireless War (Nigel West, 1987). Other acknowledgements include 'families of the deceased who ... [supplied] information about their loved ones in the hope that my investigation would throw some light on why they died'. And many TV companies and UK local papers. The name Gerry Gable struck me. Many of the names must be part of the Jewish publishing industry, but of course they are not identified.
There's an 8-page glossary of acronyms, organisations, technical terms from computers and electronic warfare, including command and control systems which are supposed to take in information, and carry out responses. A 3-page summary of an internal inquiry into Marconi, which seems part of GEC, commissioned by 'Lord' Arnold Weinstock, who became famous for collapsing GEC; I forget the details. The report, from Scotland Yard, on the deaths (all suicides, but only within Marconi) seemed to suggest that the suicide rate was not abnormal. There's a 2-page bibliography of fairly ordinary books. There's some emphasis on simulation, meaning graphical displays intended to be realistic. And some emphasis on psychology and 'brainwashing'. If you're interested, you might like my book reviews of Spycatcher, GCHQ (not published then), a look at brainwashing, and nuclear weapons, which seem yet another Jewish myth. And there's a 3-page index.
I found the book rather unlikeable, with the twenty-five names not even listed properly, with irritating chapter headings, and with psychological techniques which seem essential to the whole thrust of the book shunted into an epilogue. There's a sensational feel: uncomfortable facts about murders, pressures put on coroners, mental torture in Ireland etc, without perspective. But then I felt that maybe this was intentional, giving the feeling of a book rushed and not carefully proofread. Who knows; perhaps the aim was to conceal unworkable weapons, or hide (for example) NATO actions, or divert attention from money-making frauds.
The general theme appears to be that quite minor defence workers, e.g. secretaries, as well as technical experts on EW—electronic warfare—in this book, can unwittingly or otherwise glean valuable information about defence systems [p52 gives an example of one such simple secret from WW2 submarine warfare]; p156: '[they] probably conclude they do not know enough. They assume.. that their knowledge does not provide missing pieces to the jigsaw... But the West knows what pieces are missing from the enemy's jigsaw and may be anxious, perhaps even paranoid, that those pieces are not put into place..' The powers that be may consider it worthwhile eliminating them. To do this, sophisticated psychological techniques—"psychology is as precise a science as say acoustics" says someone—can be used to make people kill themselves. Or so the story goes. Anyway; no conclusions emerge from this book. Perhaps it was intended just to masquerade as an investigation.
By 2020, 'revisionism' has advanced, partly propelled by Internet, which barely existed when Open Verdict was published. Jewish fomenting of wars, Jewish atrocities, Jewish frauds, and just simple but secret Jewish beliefs such as the non-humanity of goyim, are becoming known. The entire view of WW2 as a world-wide Jewish propaganda-enabled conflagration emerged. Many people understand that Roosevelt, Churchill, Lenin, Stalin et al were more-or-less 'Jewish', as was Eisenhower. And the secret activities of Freemasons and Common Purpose were at least beginning to be guessed. Thus, the entire question of friends and foes is made uncertain. It makes sense with very destructive technologies that mutual incompetence should exist; the problem is that genetically hostile peoples genuinely desire mass killings. Whether 'revisionism' (for want of a better word) will flourish seems both essential, and unlikely.
An example post-dating Open Verdict was the bombing by NATO of areas in Herzogovina/ Bosnia/ Serbia. led by Wesley Clark, apparently a Jew. Obviously, Jewish-controlled media will cover no part of this accurately. The 20-year invasion of Afghanistan is another example; vastly profitable for Jews as it was.
There's some evidence that these elaborate systems often don't work, though evidence is difficult to collect in the face of vested interests. See for example The Science and Economics of Weapons Fraud. Some of the cases of probable murder disguised as suicide may have been mistakes; the details of software may seem so puzzling, it seems possible. Some of the techniques, of what seem to be 'Boston brakes', where a car's engine has a radio-controlled gadget installed—and which may have to be retrieved after a crash—perhaps are money-making, and expensive, and personal.
