Genes, Giants, Monsters, and Men: The Surviving Elites of the Cosmic War and Their Hidden Agenda

One of the most detailed, well researched , and documented books I've read that I can remember. This author is amazing!

Dr. Farrell tends to write some books in trilogies. This particular book, Genes, Giants, Monsters & Men which is the second in this particular series, would be the follow up to The Cosmic War, which he wrote previously to this.Farrell’s book, Cosmic War, which is intriguing in its implications and breathtaking in scope, laid the foundation for this particular series in a rather scholarly manner. In Genes, Giants, Monsters & Men Farrell continues his scholarly analysis into what the proceeding events after that particular war in antiquity took place.The author makes it a note of showing how there are two sets of descendants related to those who waged the Cosmic War. One side has made a stride to attempt to showcase history for what it is, while the other side not only manipulated historical events as they take place in trenchant and disturbing ways, but also is making a point to obfuscate real history in myriad ways.Throughout the book, Dr. Farrell showcases many historical oddities, and also some downright suppressions that have taken place throughout history. In his usual incisive, analytical, and well-argued manner, Farrell pulls the threads of historical elements that might seem disparate at first, but are in fact ‘joined at the hip’ so to speak.Regarding the historical and ongoing suppression of this type of data and it’s implications, the author cogently relates:“It is when Cremo and Thompson’s careful scholarship is viewed within the context of deeper allegations of archaeological suppression that other more disturbing philosophical and speculative implications emerge, for the bottom line is that both the archaeological suppression of “convenient forgetting” and the dogma of evolution would seem to be tailor-made devices to suppress the ideas of the great antiquity of man and the possibility of a previously existing Very High Civilization. Viewed in this light, it is impossible that the scientific theory functions as an “evidence screening mechanism” for scientists not privy to the ultimate agenda: the suppression of the very notion of such a civilization, and therefore any attempt to investigate it by the hoi polloi. One might indeed be dealing with a “public consumption” biology, anthropology, and archaeology to parallel the “public consumption” physics deliberately designed to prevent the recovery of lost technologies and science. Clearly, if our examination of the I Ching and DNA are any indicator, this would appear to be the case.”[1][2][Bold Emphasis Added]This particular book offers a thought-provoking synthesis of ancient technology, genetic engineering, mind control technologies, examinations of giants as reported from credible sources from various cultures throughout history, DNA coupled with the I-Ching, historical suppression as well as much MUCH more.Two other additional noteworthy subjects covered by Farrell are The Gate of Babylon and The Surrush, both of which have potentially mindbending implications.In its full breadth and scope, this book challenges official history at every turn and rightly so. Official history should be challenged, because evidence keeps piling up which shows humanity is being lied to at a very large scale. If such readings as Farrell are anywhere near the truth, then not only is history vastly different than what the conventional narrative claims, but also history should be gazed upon again through another lens.Kindest Regards,- Zy MarquiezTheBreakaway.wordpress.com_____________________________________________________Sources:[1] Dr. Joseph P.

Thank you Mr. Farrell for your fantastic scholarship, dedication, and clear writing. I got the kindle version of this book, and once I got into it I could barely put it down. In fact, I used Kindle's computer voice to read most of it to me so I could listen while doing a bunch of other things. Then I got his "Giza Death Star, Destroyed and did the same thing. I discovered Mr. Farrell's work through cross referencing with other talented writers such as Graham Hancock, Robert Bauval, John Major Jenkins, John Anthony West, Sitchen, and many others. Mr. Farrell excels at critical analysis of complementary texts and information, using disciplined logic to understand and accurately interpret various language structures, symbols, and oral traditions. To fully benefit from all this great research you really need to read a bunch of books, from him and other people. However, if you can't, you won't go wrong starting with this one since it's recent and benefits from all the previous research he has done. Ancient stories tell us an extraordinary story, vast in scope both in geography and time, culminating in right now, our current chaotic world state. To put it simply; it's very clear now to many that there MUST have been a very advanced civilization long before Egypt, and they left behind an incredibly sophisticated knowledge of what can only be described a kind of cosmic physics, "hyperdimensional", involving matter and consciousness, and understood the link between awareness, and the universe. This knowledge is so vast, that it's embedded in a large array of textual, architectural, artistic, and linguistic systems from around the globe that go back 10's of thousands of years, at least. Clearly, long ago some people knew how to tap into amazing states of awareness and vision, and create massive structures all around the world using that precise knowledge. And these ancient people clearly knew a lot about math, astronomy, our solar system and beyond... they even knew profound psychological principles and were keenly aware of the importance of genetics, breeding, etc. These very ancient myths that we have inherited from Egypt, India ( far east ), Australia, Sumeria, and the Americas were very old even at the time ( at least up to 4,000 BCE ) of those civilizations, and were passed down for millennia, often by oral tradition and complex writing systems such as hieroglyphs. Much information was totally lost, some has been rediscovered. But, no wonder they seem bizarre for us. Fortunately for all of us, along come people like Mr. Farrell and modern technology, access to records, translations, and world travel, and the picture is getting very clear, at least to me. Our ancient history is truly incredible and we know so very little about it. It's breathtaking to get even a glimpse, and this series of books is really eye-popping. Let's just say, whatever you think about ancient history and religion, put it on the table for a minute, take a deep breath, and listen. Your head will spin around a few times each way, then you'll want to buy another one of these books. and don't forget the other authors as well. If you find my reviews useful, it's nice to know.

Joseph Farrell is a wonderful researcher and writes a book one can sink their teeth into. I take brief pauses for consideration, while reading his books. Wonderful, I loved it.

Interesting read

The book is a rehash of others ideas going back to the 70's.The book is deceptive from its title and cover page.It is a rehash of the authers other books with minor scientific updates like dna.He restates Stichens theory of aliens in Mesapotamia creating man and goes on and on with little to no new ideas or information. Anyone fammilular with these theories will just be wasting their time.

For those of you that are new to this kind of material, then it's a must have. Firstly, Farrell is readable - a mix of the technical and formal, balanced with a clear, descriptive style. He covers a lot of ground (from Sumeria to America, the Annunaki to mitochondrial DNA....) and does so in enough depth to whet your appetite, but not so much you're left puzzling over the meanings.For those that have read this kind of thing before (Sitchin etc.) then you may be pleasantly surprised at the range of material in here. I certainly had not come across some ideas/sections before. For example: the Sirrush. The book opens with this strange creature and it's certainly an intriguing read!The reason I've only given it 4 stars is twofold. Firstly, some sections plant some great ideas but fail to dig deep or do anything more then scratch the surface. This is a shame but you could follow up lines of investigation with other authors/works if you felt so inclined.The second and reason is serious. For someone as clearly intelligent and well-read as Farrell, quite why he insists on quoting from Wikipedia beats me. Even the kids I teach know not to use Wikipedia due to its unreliability and high rate of error! It doesn't just happen once - but he makes numerous references to it throughout. This is inexcusable. When you're researching and promoting 'alternative' theories, you're evidence has to be airtight. Using Wikipedia to prove his ideas undermines all the hard graft Farrell does everywhere else.Added to this, he also spends a great deal of time quoting from Knight and Butler. This was fine until I realised these were the two authors behind the god-awful 'Who Built the Moon'. My estimation went down at this point. (You can read my review of that book to get the idea of my feelings about it!)However, if you're prepared to dig deeper yourself and can overlook the use of Wikipedia, it's certainly worth a look.

What the author would have us believe is not the standard evolutionary model of man and consequently world history but that something (intelligent) interfered with us, accelerating the development of civilization: from caveman to spaceman.Now, he does admit to being “speculative” in his assertions and following the central thread does require a degree of suspended disbelief. But how much is he being polemic, sniping at established academia who turn their noses up at more esoteric theories that were once more widely accepted and acceptable? He is not the only alternative historian frustrated by the expert dismissal of what might otherwise be perfectly reasonable evidence. Evidence that deserves to be put through the lens of the scientific principle to determine its credibility. But by taking such an assumptive journey and relying on data that is “evidence” only in the most diplomatic sense of the word he trips over his own argument. The reason more convincing evidence doesn't get considered by academia is often it comes padded with the frankly absurd. It’s a long way from interpreting ancient texts in a non-conventional manner to proving there was a cosmic war millions of years ago…In this book, Farrell is guilty of making the evidence fit the hypothesis without really considering the burden of proof.The sirrush of the Babylon Gate for example. A fantastical creature that must be real because its depiction is consistent where other fantastical creatures change over time. It must therefore be an engineered creature, or a memory of a dinosaur, or even evidence of a living dinosaur. None of which really add up to anything stronger than speculation, but it would seem speculation is enough to amount to evidence. I would argue to the contrary, precisely because it’s a chimaera of existing animal parts it suggests the opposite: that it is made up. Show me something that we don’t recognise, then I’ll start to pay more attention.From there the story picks up the predictable strands of post modern popular counter culture; Waco, Roswell, the CIA, Iapetus (you know, the one that was the inspiration for Star Wars’ Death Star!) It’s a join the dots approach, casting the net as wide as possible hoping to snag on something.That’s not to say the book doesn't have some interesting things to say; clearly our ancestors knew a lot about advanced mathematical astronomy and there is something suggesting “co-ordination” between megalithic sites spread out over hundreds (and thousands) of miles. It’s an area standard history doesn't provide a satisfactory answer on yet. But why does it have to suggest “agency” of the third kind…can’t we take credit for being a little more advanced that we thought a few thousand years ago?And then there’s the agenda …Not content with speculating about a remnant of an alien civilization having a hand in the genesis of mankind, but they’re still here and up to no good. And they’re bankers.I firmly believe this is really about a lack of control, the world isn’t run altruistically and we like to think this is not our fault (despite it being absolutely our fault). Whether it’s war, greed or just business we have a poor track record of doing the right thing. This doesn't mean that someone else is pulling the strings though.A classic case of self-importance syndrome. Everything has a resonance here and now, as if everything is pointing towards this moment in time and giving us meaning. All the evidence seems to link to something that makes sense to us here is the 21st century. Whether its mind control, telecommunications, star wars or global banking. It’s clearly more a case of us interpreting what we see through our own eyes and those alone. We have to be the centre of attention don’t we, here and now?I keep going back to one thought: show me something we don’t know and can’t interpret in light of our own prejudices and fears. Show me something that doesn't make sense, that’s aimed at us +1 million years. Tell us something new, then you have my attention. It’s this central theme that runs through the book that breaks its spine, it says far more about us than about any ancient alien civilization.It’s a stone skimming across the surface, touching lightly on each subject, not long enough to pick up any detail or explain anything before it’s onto the next. But eventually it just runs out of energy.There are undoubtedly questions to ask about the knowledge of the ancients, megaliths, astronomy etc and maybe academia just doesn't like accepting the evidence this suggests. But that doesn't mean we are the genetically engineered product of an alien race. It just means we might be more interesting than that.
