About this listen
New Saucerian Press proudly presents Valiant Thor's JFK Assassination Reader - one of the last works ever published by the iconic ufologist, conspiracy buff, and best-selling author Gray Barker, whose writing informed the plotlines of shows like Star Trek, Futurama, The X-Files, Twin Peaks, The Outer Limits, and The Twilight Zone.
Shuttling between his Manhattan publishing office and his secluded cabin deep in the hills of his home state of West Virginia, the prolific Barker single-handedly kept public interest focused on UFOs and conspiracies during their leanest years. He introduced many themes still discussed and investigated by today’s paranormal and conspiracy researchers: the Roswell UFO crash, Men in Black, ancient aliens, Nazi UFOs, the Philadelphia Experiment, the Flatwoods Monster, Mothman, MJ-12, secret underground bases, little green men, and the Maury Island Incident.
Valiant Thor's JFK Assassination Reader and its sister books, Mysterious Ascension, Serpents of Fire, Saucers of Fire, Saucers of Fear, Bigfoot Shootout, Time-Traveling Through Swamp Gas, and When Men in Black Attack: The Strange Case of Albert K. Bender, were collated by Barker shortly before his death, using material culled from deteriorating copies of his notoriously speculative newsletters and gossipy syndicated column - for years the most widely read national column on UFOs, Forteana, conspiracy, and “weird science”.
This unique edition was guest-curated by the illustrious thinker Valiant Thor and features an introduction by Gray Barker, as well as articles by such JFK research notables as Jim Garrison, John Judge, Fletcher Prouty, Mae Brussell, Timothy Leary, Alex Constantine, Martin Cannon, Paul Rydeen, Paul Kangas, and William Torbitt. They shed urgent, much-needed light on the "high-strangeness" aspects of JFK's murder.

Story
In the “it can now be told” department, we may now reveal that the mysterious “Commander X” was none other than the enlightened Venusian sage Commander Valiant Thor. Unfortunately, this sleight of hand was necessary during most of the 20th century due to heightened Cold War tensions and various threats that had been made against Thor and his family, who were working hard to end warfare and nuclear bomb testing on Earth.

Vril is truly the essence of the active verb, the powerful sentence, and the narrative that moves people to action. It is the energy behind the words, which makes the mind react in a positive and uplifting fashion. As the Buddhists say, our words are actions and should be approached soberly, cautiously, compassionately, and empathetically. Vril is about living life to the fullest and loving to the fullest. In these current days of extreme political divide, where lying and deception are being spread from on high, we need Vril more than ever.

We were impressed with Thor’s frequent submissions to the newsletter of the Hollow Earth Research Association, 'The Hollow Hassle.' His knowledge of the Hollow Earth, ufology, occultism, and folklore is vast. He is continually working on new projects, and we are proud that he has selected us to publish this masterpiece. His other Hollow Earth book, 'A Guide to Inner Earth,' is absolutely essential for anyone exploring the subject. In that exhaustive study, he has researched every known book on the Hollow Earth, listing them for the reader.

Story
It took me a lifetime to have the courage and the clarity to write my memoir. I want to tell the story of the moments - the ups and downs, the triumphs and traumas, the debacles and the dreams - that contributed to the person I am today. This book is composed of my memories, my mishaps, my struggles, my survival, and my songs. Unfiltered. I went deep into my childhood and gave the scared little girl inside of me a big voice. I let the abandoned and ambitious adolescent have her say, and the betrayed and triumphant woman I became tell her side.

Story
Experience a bold take on this classic autobiography as it’s performed by Oscar-nominated Laurence Fishburne. In this searing classic autobiography, originally published in 1965, Malcolm X, the Muslim leader, firebrand, and Black empowerment activist, tells the extraordinary story of his life and the growth of the Human Rights movement. His fascinating perspective on the lies and limitations of the American dream and the inherent racism in a society that denies its non-White citizens the opportunity to dream, gives extraordinary insight into the most urgent issues of our own time.

Story
Just before Christmas in 1843, a debt-ridden and dispirited Charles Dickens wrote a small book he hoped would keep his creditors at bay. His publisher turned it down, so Dickens used what little money he had to put out A Christmas Carol himself. He worried it might be the end of his career as a novelist. The book immediately caused a sensation. And it breathed new life into a holiday that had fallen into disfavor, undermined by lingering Puritanism and the cold modernity of the Industrial Revolution.
