Editorial Review:
Since the sixties, musicians have been outspoken and powerful proponents for social change, making them a threat to those eager to maintain the status quo. Typically fond of drugs, they also make easy targets for investigation and exploitation. In this comprehensive look at more than a dozen suspect rock star deaths, conspiracy researcher Alex Constantine delves into the secrets that the record industry, organized crime, and even the FBI and CIA don't want uncovered. Unearthing recent - and successful - assassination plots against Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. as well as new information on the tragic deaths of Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, and John Lennon, this long-overdue report offers disturbing evidence that there may be more behind these deaths than accident, psychosis, and indulgence.

The Covert War Against Rock: What You Don't Know About the Deaths of Jim Morrison, Tupac Shakur, Michael Hutchence, Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Phil Ochs, ... Tosh, John Lennon, and The Notorious B.I.G. Reviews:
What the CIA is doing right now against political activists
2008-04-17 - One of the reviewers said there are other rock star deaths Alex Constantine didn't mention. True. Constantine's ¨Anti-Fascist research Bin¨ web site shows deaths of a young journalist(Duncan) and her boyfriend. If you follow this story to Bill Knott's blog, a professor from Emerson College writes that Duncan's death was not a suicide, and says, ¨They killed Theresa Duncan for trying to expose them, and they'll kill me for the same reason.¨ A professor worried about being killed! I would not believe all this if it weren't for the fact I am group stalked as described by private investigator David Lawson. To read excerpts from his book, go to www.raven1.net The CIA has a program to marry off all us liberals and political activists. They found out how to get conservatives to marry us. I had no boyfriend for 15 years, but now I can't keep these men away from me.

connecting the dots
2008-01-22 - Many elements of the truth here, but realize that the forces that do entertainers in are (95% of the time) the SAME FORCES that created them. Music has been used for subversive activity for THOUSANDS of years and "modern" rock and roll is more like a re-discovery of sorts by the Elite controllers. Sound frequency can have very specific effects on people, and many of them are not even discernable to the conscious mind. Thus, subliminal programming of music is crucial, and the creation of certain "beats" to create a hypnotic effect is vital so that all the subliminal stuff can "get in the back door" to your mind (thus affecting behaviour / opinions etc) so to speak. Great for social / political control obviously. Famous bands and singers are the delivery mechanism for this (much like a cigarette is merely a "nicotine delivery device" for the tobacco industry because it wants you addicted to their product), not the creative powers or artists that we are told. For example, The Beatles most assuredly did not create their own music, nor were they some childhood assembly of tremendously talented musicians who became legends. They were created as a social experiment (literally by the Tavistock Institute of London) and released in a controlled fashion to the World. They were part of introducing our culture to drugs and "dropping out" etc, therefore they were not the big threat to the Establishment that we were told as they were created by those who are the Establishment at its core! Info about the deaths of Brian Epstein and Paul McCartney can be very illuminating in this regard. The Rolling Stones were created by the same people at the same time and were meant to balance off the goody image of the Beatles. Any rock band who is in the know will tell you how dark and powerful and ruthless the Stones really are. The music for both the Beatles and the Stones (perhaps not the lyrics so much) was "designed", mixed, and layed down as tracks by the SAME GUY!

Drinking, doing drugs, having sex, being wild, or talking about peace in general is not what gets these people killed. Rather, their own programming can break down and they can be considered liabilities due to things they saw or participated in (such as government drug running, murder, Satanic practice / sacrifice, hard-core pornography, pedophilia, and others). And because these people are often so famous, any "loose lips" on these topics can be a disaster for those who created them. Killing them is the only solution. Jimi Hendrix is a classic example of this concern, and watching one of his ex-girlfriends talk (on a documentary) about all of his concerns and fears just prior to his death is fascinating. This is why current stars who are having de-programming nightmares (Britney Spears is a great example) are in real jeopardy of losing their lives if they can't be properly re-programmed to carry on the agenda. Loose lips sink ships don't you know...

Add to this crazy soup, the very real issue of body doubles (and some say clones...) within the entertainment industry (and politics for that matter), then we have the possibility of the stars being eliminated without their fans realizing it (Paul McCartney remains the best modern example of this although this has happened in other bands), and the stars themselves being able to fake their own deaths in order to escape from their controllers (very difficult to do, but maybe accomplished by Jim Morrison). Perhaps a more common scenario, is for a star to be able to escape somehow, and the controllers publicly killing a body double so that the real star can never surface and be taken seriously with their horrific stories ever again (is this what happened with Elvis?). This stuff happens folks, as bizarro as it might seem. The music and film industries are so filled with covert tactics, mind control, satanic practice, duplicity, social control, and outright murder that the outrageousness of it all has created the perfect "cover". In other words, it's so crazy as to be totally unbelievable to those of us "fans". Is it any wonder why the music and movie stars are so messed up and so miserable / paranoid? Look back and see what people like Kurt Cobain and Bob Marley were saying about their situations; it's time to take their words / warnings seriously.

So, the general topic matter of this book is vital, and the exact agenda behind the killings secondary I think. Getting people to realize how diabolical the entertainment industry is to our minds is primary and we can quibble over the details later. In this regard, Alex is to be applauded. But, if I wrote a book on this topic I would name it "The covert war and USE of the music industry on modern society, and the collateral damage of those who try and blow their whistle". The War is not on Rock and Roll, rather it is on us and some of the deprogrammed agents of the agenda (aka Rock Stars) who try and thwart it get killed in the process. Ironically, the "old foggies" of the 1950s who warned us of Rock and Roll and its evil beats might have been more correct than they could have imagined.

Good but not great read. Interesting none the less.
2006-11-20 - The Covert War Against Rock explores the unanswered questions and disinformation surrounding the deaths of several rock stars. This was good, but not great. Lots of interesting stuff in this but I think in most of these cases Constantine tries way too hard to connect the dots and show government and/or organized crime complicity in some of these deaths. Just because the FBI had a file on them or they associated with gangsters in the music business doesn't mean they were murdered. That being said, although there is no definitive proof, I lean heavily toward there being government or criminal involvement in the deaths of John Lennon, Jimi Hendrix and Brian Jones. All you people that think Jim Morrison faked his death should just forget about it. I think he just got into his girlfriends heroin stash and overdosed.

Alex is insane
2005-10-03 - What a terrible book. To even entertain the theory that Bob Marley died b/c the CIA INJECTED melanoma skin cancer into him is insane. It can not be done, so to push that conspiracy is plain irresponsible.

Bad excuse for a book. The author is a joke.

Dopey people on dope.
2005-01-05 - You'll get no congratulations here on your book: This is just another paranoid attempt to slam the U.S. government, for the deaths of some dopey rockers on dope. Wake up" there should be no big mystery as to why these people died. They all lived lives of excess filled with drugs and alcohol, a bunch of fallen stars who burned out way before their time, except for lennon and topac who were shot to death, the others died the way they lived FAST" You see there's no big mystery to their deaths after all, just a few star struck americans who refuse to see their rock and roll idols, for what they really were.
