Both Timely & Chilling November 19, 2009

I am sure that many folks will dismiss this book outright due to the theology of Grant Jeffreys - either because their own theology conflicts with his, or because the mere fact that he has a theology of any kind conflicts with their belief or desire for a God-free universe. Dismissing this work for either of those reasons is a mistake.
Jeffreys has done his homework, and shows himself to be a solid researcher who has written a book that should give pause to anyone with sense enough to wonder about how technology has, is, and will impact the private lives and personal freedoms of every single person on earth.
The world is a very different place from what it was even 20 years ago, let alone when our grandparents felt adequately protected from prying eyes by the pulling of a simple window shade or blind. In Shadow Government, Grant R. Jeffrey documents piece by piece and step by step why none of have the luxury of living under that type of naïveté any longer.
I can remember first becoming aware of the Echelon Project more than ten years ago, and that even with protests being filed by the French Government, and suits brought by the ACLU - the American public at large either remained blind to its existence, or dismissed it as fantasy when told about it. As Jeffrey's lays out so well within the book, the huge steps that Echelon has taken toward eliminating our rights to privacy are nearly inconsequential compared to all those that technology has come up with since that we all readily embrace, even rush toward.
Timely and disturbing, Shadow Government is a book well worth reading.

I used to watch Grant Jeffrey in awe, on my big old C-Band satellite dish 20 some odd years ago. What he predicted then sounded like science fiction but most, if not all of it, is in practice today. After I started reading this book I couldn't put it down. I knew our government had "eyes" all over the place, but I did not know it was as bad as it is, or the reasoning behind it. In a way it is scary, but also encouraging seeing how more Bible prophesies are coming to fruition every day.
I only gave the book a 4 star rating as I'm not sure about the theology on the battle of Armageddon or the battle of Gog and Magog, but the rest is right on, as I've studied.
I recommend the book and I'm going to order additional copies to give as Christmas gifts.

Grant R. Jeffrey's clear and not-too-long book, "Shadow Government," is subtitled "How the Secret Global Elite Is Using Surveillance Against You." The subtitle is misleading in that surveillance and its ingenious gadgets is a subject that covers Part 1 and Part 2 and the first six chapters of this 4-Part, 13-chaptered book, but no more than Part 1 and Part 2.
The remaining Parts and chapters cover well and provocatively the Elite's globalist agenda, with striking emphasis paid to FEMA, the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, the International Monetary Fund as well as the NAFTA Agreement. One serious omission to this hierarchical list of totalitarian leaders is the Federal Reserve Bank and any in-depth discussion of its destructive impact on the world.
If you listen to Alan Watt's radio program on Republic Broadcasting online or find his podcasts at (...), or if you listen to Oracle Broadcasting radio shows online, or read "Blacklisted News" online, prospective readers will already be well-informed and have a good historical and political background with which to absorb Grant Jefferey's intriguing analysis and exposure of the New World Order's many plots or totalitarian designs on mankind's future, although the surveillance gadgets discussed in the first four chapters of Jeffrey's book are exceptionally detailed and make purchase of the book worthwhile.
With regard to the many sneaky, small and seductive surveillance gadgets now available and soon to be available (I won't even discuss the book's revelations about our DNA here or the weaponization of the weather), it is clear that, yes, Big Brother already knows pretty much all about us, that is, you and me. For just a small instance from a choice of literally hundreds of gadgets, there are RFID chips inside a man's Mach 3 razor blade (as well in the little "i" in Philadelphia Cream Cheese, not mentioned in this book), and they're also in rings, in books, and in some medical cards, totally invisible to the eye or even another surveillance camera, all reporting back information about you, your purchases, your whereabouts. Your cell phone, your car, your email, your driver's license, your passport betray you, eviscerate your privacy.
These gadgets, while seemingly invented for your convenience and protection, have a dual purpose: tracking and controlling -- you. The next step is for all of us to be "chipped" like the abandoned and lost animals at the SPCA.
Grant R. Jeffrey states on the last page of the book that he wrote this book to introduce nonbelievers to faith in Christ and to encourage Christians in their faith. Those bits and sometimes whole paragraphs where the author relies heavily on theological interpretations of the prophecies of Daniel, John, and Zachariah to convey the idea that all these Big Brother plots are here to fulfill he Book of Revelations, I simply read like a bar-code reading machine, because there was nothing but fear and authoritarianism to be gained from those Biblical bits and passages, and the book already is full of natural warnings about the coming global authoritarianism that to follow through with the author's conviction that a man will be coming on a white horse to save humanity and "rule" the world (without any mention of Love) simply wasn't something this reader could take in, his head already being full of wars and rumors of forthcoming wars on the non-supernatural, geopolitical scene as it is. Besides, the author seems not to have read Bart D. Ehrman's book revealing the hidden contradictions in the Bible and its assumed but unprovable inerrancy.
This book is an informative, clear, and incisive eye-opener on mankind's future, well worth reading and purchasing, no matter what you think or feel about the author's theology, although it is not by any means a complete picture of the New World Order that's here and developing. What's here is plenty for one intense if introductory encounter.

Shadow Government-How the Global Elite Is Using Surveillance Against You by Grant R. Jeffrey is a very disturbing book. Every time I have read end time prophecies I have wondered how all of the things would fall into place. The details of this book are as current as today's newspaper. Mr. Jeffrey brings to light things that have been done in secret all over the world. As time goes on the biblical prophecies unfold one by one and the current applications are astonishing. This book is a good read for anyone who is interested in the study of end-time prophecy. You can get this book at: [...]

Basically a wake up call... October 30, 2009

"Privacy is dead, deal with it"
- Scott McNealy former CEO of Sun Microsystems
Shadow Government by Grant R. Jeffrey is a 200 page warning on the invasion of our privacy. It goes to great lengths to let the reader understand who is surveilling, why they are and what the information will be used for. An alarming visual is painted of how much personal information slips through our fingers to be collected and stored when we use a debit card, surf the internet, give our social security numbers or Google search for "funny cat videos". It's a call for individuals to safeguard themselves and protect their identities from thieves and seemingly omnipotent rulers who conspire among evil and thinly veiled organizations, but the message does little to encourage hope in the battle.
It portrays that a bleak and Orwellian world is already upon us and there is little we can do to derail it. The writer's intention seems to be to warn and to provide proof that wicked world leaders and evil forces are becoming capable of fulfilling their roles, as written in Biblical Old Testament warnings and the apocalyptic message found in the New Testament book of Revelations.
The reader will walk away knowing the enemies, their tools and how quickly they are using them to gain ground economically and politically. I'm reminded of one most memorable scene described in this book, the writer details a scene in the possible near future, of a thief standing in the street. He is using a device to read the RFID tags that have been implanted in unsuspecting civilians, (imagine a chip in your hand used to pay taxes or buy a coffee) the device tells the thief all manner of personal information and how much money his victims would be carrying.
