I am ready for a second reading. The chapter that lingers in my memory is the one about stars, intersecting points. I don't remember if I learned about the book through The Real Anthony Fauci or Dr. Toby Rogers' recommendation. It definitely blew my mind.
I bought and read Official Stories on your recommendation last February. My only complaint: I wish it had been much longer and covered more subjects. Once I started it, I couldn't put it down. He was an amazing thinker.
I confess I haven't read the book, but then I was already familiar to one degree or another with both sides of most of the "stories". I'm starting to grow old, the body is working even more poorly than it used to, and I find myself taking more and more "quiet time" when I can, and when I'm not flat-out asleep. My reading is dropping off, finally. I see the big picture -- horrifying -- and I see enough details to know that I'm not hallucinating. I'm not sure how much more detail I can take.
As I keep saying, hopefully in different ways mostly, there is a larger picture into which this horror show fits. Seamlessly. Don't settle for paradox, and especially don't go for "we must try harder" yet again. Try instead looking for that larger view.
It's available. It's fairly obvious. But then so are the truths that the "official stories" discussed in the book are meant to hide. But I don't think this one is in this book. So read the book, comprehend what it says about your perception, and then use that understanding to search for the big one that's missing, hidden in plain sight.
If you have trouble finding it, ask. You never know. Somebody might be listening.
I'm in. I read it a few months ago, I think on your reccomendation. I think I have lost 15 pounds by buying books instead of food the last few years. Thank you for that!
My only quarrel with Liam is his chapter on Shakespeare. My quarrel is not that he is wrong about who wrote all those plays; rather, I don't think authorship matters. Once something has been created, whether a book, a painting, a building, it exists on its own outside the life of the author. My understanding of King Lear does not depend on who wrote it, what his personal history was, or what the royal politics of the time might have been. To carry that idea on a bit further, looking for the author in a work of fiction or a painting, pretty much ruins the experience of reading the book or studying the picture. I'm curious how the rest of you see this.
I have reassed much since 2020. Reading has always been a way of opening doors for me. This book certainly did that, along with other books of late, along with many other writers. So much of what we thought to be true is more of a mirage. We have to be open to understanding the world around us in more nuanced ways and not take for granted that we trust the lies and contradictions fed to us from officialdom.
I bought and read this book about 9 months ago and was astonished at the things I believed to be true that clearly were wrong...
It hit me hard from 1st chapter. I skipped around as some I was concerned I was not ready to hear. It really rocked my world. I have tried to share it to numerous family and friends but so far no one has read a full chapter. I think it’s part of the dogma, “it’s better to not know what I don’t know now.” Our world recently has been showing how much we thought was true is propaganda or a false narrative. It is hard to go into the “looking glass” but worth it once you begin. It’s a humorous book and Liam’s personality shines... sad he is no longer here to dig into all that has happened since he left us.
Read it per you. Loved it. The idea of an electric universe was so out there but then again the idea the universe happens to be organized by the force we just recalibrated our scientific knowledge around at the time makes it seem that much more likely the other forces are more of a factor than we allow. The idea the universe could be nothing like the fated heat death scenario scientism claims for me was a relief. It was like in Douglas Adams Hithicker's guide to the galaxy when an old lady looks out the window to see two characters not only flying but making love in the air and then is happy because it means nothing she's been told is right suddenly made sense to me. that happiness. that freedom. I didn't even know I wanted what I had been told had all been figured out was wrong, or could be wrong, or not the whole picture...but I'm happy Scheff did that for me.
I read Official Stories on Toby Rogers book review. It made such a seismic shift within me I've promised myself to re-read it, just in case I was missing something. It definitely bears multiple readings, I feel. Having said that, I went on to read 180 Degrees, which plumbed the depths even further, some of it gratingly so. Both books reinforce the red-pilling I've named as the Gift of Covid, which keeps on giving, whether it's the 'safe and effective' psyop, the faked moon landings, Titanic 1,000 miles south of any iceberg, the Lusitania Lie, Steiner foretelling death by vaccine, you name it. There's a hundred and one ways to break the spell. At my age, I thought I'd never be shocked again but I was in for a rude awakening.
Added to all that has been John Carter's magnificent essay which lays bare our current situation and offers a powerful remedy via McGilchrist for countering left-brain dominance. Highly recommended.
Loved Scheff's book. I was particularly blown away by the earth sciences chapters, probably because I don't have as much knowledge in those areas.
Reading Official Stories paved the way for 180 Degrees, which is next on my list.
I have to say, it's fairly alienating to read these types of books. In my "real life" in the "real world," I just feel more and more like a total outsider wandering in a foreign land. Thank heavens for Substack.
I purchased, however have not yet read the book 180°. This book you mention/write about sounds to be of the premise that a vast majority of nearly anything accepted by the humans presently living is a LIE. Same is true with 180° according to the write up that motivated me to purchase the book. I've only made the time to skim through it so far (it's a very large book) definitely impressive and extremely readable. It goes way beyond simply the bogus moon landings and other such more common understandings as to the mind boggling extent we've been utterly bamboozled.

Well CRAP.
If I have an addiction, it is BOOKS. I have a stack of at least twelve books here now, and more on order.
You. Are. Trouble!!!
On a positive note, at least we have many, many great books and resources out there.
Color me grateful.
LMAO ... sending Good Cheer for the New Year! :-)

Awesome! I’m in!
I have read that. It was part of my awakening. Anatomy of an Epidemic was also life-changing for me
This book is currently in my to-read pile (which probably comprises at least 30 books). I shall move it to the top!

I read Official Stories on yours and Toby’s recommendations and now I lend it to everyone open to reading it. An amazing book.
