T he present work, the result of some forty years of investigative research, is a logical progression from my previous books: the expose of the international control of monetary issue and banking practices in the United States; a later work revealing the secret network of organizations through which these alien forces wield political power-the secret committees, foundations, and political parties through which their hidden plans are implemented; and now; to the most vital issue of all, the manner in which these depredations affect the daily lives and health of American citizens. Despite the great power of the hidden rulers, I found that only one group has the power to issue life or death sentences to any American-our nation's physicians. I discovered that these physicians, despite their great power, were themselves subjected to very strict controls over every aspect of their professional lives. These controls, surprisingly enough, were not wielded by any state or federal agency, although almost every other aspect of American life is now under the absolute control of the bureaucracy. The physicians have their own autocracy, a private trade association, the American Medical Association. This group, which is headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, had gradually built up its power until it assumed total control over medical schools and the accreditation of physicians. The trail of these manipulators led me straight to the same lairs of the international conspirators whom I had exposed in previous books. I knew that they had already looted America, reduced its military power to a dangerously low level, and imposed bureaucratic controls on every American. I now discovered that their conspiracies also directly affected the health of every American. This conspiracy has resulted in a documented decline in the health of our citizens. We now rank far down the list of civilized nations in infant mortality and other significant medical statistics. I was able to document the shocking record of these cold-blooded tycoons who not only plan and carry out famines, economic depressions, revolutions and wars, but who also find their greatest profits in their manipulations of our medical care. The cynicism and malice of these conspirators is something beyond the imagination of most Americans. They deliberately mulct our people of millions of dollars each year through ''charitable'' organizations and then use these same organizations as key groups to bolster their Medical Monopoly. Fear and intimidation are the basic techniques by which the conspirators maintain their control over all aspects of our health care, as they ruthlessly crush any competitor who challenges their profits. As in other aspects of their ''behavioural control'' over the American people, their most constantly used weapon against us is their employment of federal agents and federal agencies to carry out their intrigues. The proof of this operation may be the most disturbing revelation of my work.

Shortlist Man Booker Prize 2017 'De eerste serieuze Brexit-roman.' THE FINANCIAL TIMES De 101-jarige Daniel Gluck en de 32-jarige Elisabeth hebben een bijzondere vriendschap. Elisabeth leerde Daniel kennen toen ze acht was. Hij was haar buurman, en deze belezen, enthousiaste kunstverzamelaar nam haar mee in zijn wereld van kunst en literatuur. Als Elisabeth naast een slapende Daniel in het verzorgingshuis zit, dringt de betekenis van de gesprekken die ze als kind met hem had tot haar door. Van hem leerde ze wat het leven waardevol maakt, en hij voedde ook haar belangstelling voor kunst, met name voor de popartkunstenares Pauline Boty over wie ze haar afstudeerscriptie heeft geschreven. Daarnaast kijken we mee met de surre?le ijldromen van Daniel, waarin tijd, ruimte, taal en natuur door elkaar heen spelen. De meest hilarische pagina's zijn gewijd aan Elisabeths benadering van alledaagse beslommeringen, waarin Ali Smith met grimmige ironie de kille politieke verhoudingen na de Brexit en de dolgedraaide bureaucratie aan de kaak stelt. Herfst is met vaart en humor geschreven, maar stemt ook tot nadenken over onze moderne tijd. Het is een inspirerende idee?nroman over een innige vriendschap. Ali Smith (1962) is geboren in Inverness, Schotland. Dankzij haar magistrale psychologische inzicht en stilistisch raffinement was ze meerdere malen een van de favorieten van de Man Booker Prize-jury. Haar boeken Hotel Wereld, The Accidental en Het een als het ander werden net als Herfst voor de prijs genomineerd. Voor Het een als het ander kreeg Smith in 2015 de Baileys Prize, de Goldsmiths Prize en de Costa Novel Award. 'Herfst is een prachtige, ontroerende symfonie van herinneringen, dromen en vluchtige waarheden.' THE GUARDIAN 'Ik ken weinig schrijvers - behalve Virginia Woolf en James Salter - die een verhaal zo veel vaart kunnen geven met alleen de vertelstem. (...) In een land dat met zichzelf overhoop ligt, is een schrijver zoals Smith meer waard dan een heel parlement.' THE FINANCIAL TIMES 'Smith heeft het boek in een enorm tempo geschreven, maar dat staat de stilistische bravoure en een geraffineerde structuur niet in de weg. De politiek heeft geen antwoord op het populisme, de literatuur met als woordvoerder Ali Smith misschien wel.' NRC HANDELSBLAD ****
