About this listen
There's the Freedom of Information Act, and then there's Ventura's way. The official spin on numerous government programs is flat-out bull, according to Jesse Ventura. In this incredible collection of actual government documents, Ventura, the ultimate nonpartisan truth-seeker, proves it beyond any doubt. He and Dick Russell walk listeners through 63 of the most incriminating programs to reveal what really happens behind the closed doors. In addition to providing original government data, Ventura discusses what it really means and how regular Americans can stop criminal behavior at the top levels of government and in the media. Among the cases discussed:
- The CIA's top-secret program to control human behavior
- Operation Northwoods: the military plan to hijack airplanes and blame it on Cuban terrorists
- The discovery of a secret Afghan archive, information that never left the boardroom
- Potentially deadly healthcare cover-ups, including a dengue fever outbreak
What the Department of Defense knows about our food supply but is keeping mum Although these documents are now in the public domain, the powers that be would just as soon they stay under wraps. Ventura's research and commentary sheds new light on what they're not telling you---and why it matters.

Needs Jesse to narrate his own words
This book has some really good content, as others have said; some very revealing stuff that makes you think. However, again as others have said, the delivery/narration is very dry.
I think the narrator is probably perfect for the parts where he is reading the documents themselves, but in my mind what this book is missing is Jesse's voice speaking Jesse's words. I bought this book with Jesse's voice in mind, I think he is a great speaker and people like to listen when he speaks (you don't get that popular in WWF/WWE without the ability to tell a great story), so whenever the narrator would shift to Jesse's take on these documents, I think it would have been 100x better to have Jesse narrate those words himself. Had this been done, I think it would have broken up the monotony of the book and many more people would have enjoyed it.
