In 1962 a book was published by a small independent house in
Ohio,
USA.
It was written by David Bunger, a pilot who had taken part in Operation
Highjump back in 1946 and decided to write a "tell all" revelation of
everything he knew and had kept secret for seventeen years. Shortly after the
book was published it was withdrawn from print and the house sent recall orders
to all the bookshops that were stocking it. They also requested that all people
who had bought copies redeem them for generous refunds way above the cover
price. Bunger died six years later in 1968. According to his family, they had
been told by "somebody" never to mention the manuscript again. It was
thought that the book had been successfully suppressed with every copy ever printed
now in the hands of the government who, I'm guessing, made a big bonfire of
them. However, in 2004 a single copy turned up at a car boot sale in
Oregon.
It had been hidden in a hollowed out space inside a bible. Somebody obviously
had deliberately concealed it for forty-two years. The book was said to be the
true story of Operation Highjump, something I myself have covered in a number
of publications, for example:

and:

David Bunger's book supports a lot of the alterative theories about this
mysterious operation. What's more, I actually believe we should question the
official story of Highjump and the people who took part in it; but there is a
problem with this specific element. There is no evidence the book ever existed.
We are never told any details about it; it's title, ISBN, publisher's name etc.
The people who supposedly unearthed the one known surviving copy in
Oregon
have never been identified. This tale, in all likelihood, seems to be a piece of
social media fiction. Source:

That is not the point though. Whether the lost book by David
Bunger is real or not, or even whether you believe that Operation Highjump was
just a scientific expedition that just happened to need a massive naval
taskforce and six hundred marines; it doesn't matter. The issue here is that if
this story had been true and an insider, a whistleblower in other words, had
decided to release a book that blew the lid off the secret, would it have
worked in theory? My answer is, quite possibly. A book is a great way of
revealing secrets. David supposedly released his book in 1962, but what if he
had been writing today? Many authors don't bother publishing a real book at all;
it is more expensive and time-consuming, for example the works by Si Rosser
which I have reviewed, see:
https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2024/10/the-galileo-project-by-si-rosser.html.
Most of these are only available on Amazon Kindle. Therein lies the problem,
and regular readers will know where I am going here. To suppress a
whistleblower's manuscript, or even just to edit it, in a world where there are
only e-books, the powers-that-shouldn't-be would only need to press a button.
This is why it is vital that we always, always get the paperback editions of
our books, especially titles we know are about a highly sensitive matter and
therefore run the risk of being quashed. A real paper book, once it has sold
enough copies over a wide enough area, become virtually indestructible. The
book-burners can never guarantee that they have destroyed every single copy.
They never know if somebody has one hidden away in their attic somewhere; and
indeed this happened historically when oppressive regimes fell. For this reason
I have only released my own books as print-on-demand paperbacks, see the links
below.

It is far quicker, cheaper and easier to publish a paper
book these days than it has ever been before. I understand the people who
prefer an e-book if they are going on holiday and don't want to carry loads of
books in their luggage etc; a little electronic reader device is so much smaller
and lighter. I don't have an issue with people doing that for convenience. The
issue I have is when people depend on it completely. I know people whose homes
are bare of everything but electronic screens. They watch their TV and movies
from on-demand sites, their books and newspapers on computer readers etc. Sure,
they have far more space than I do. Their rooms are not cluttered by shelves of
volumes and DVD cases, but what about when those sources fail? This is why I
insisted on waiting for the DVD edition of
Disclosure
Day, see:
https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2026/09/disclosure-day-dvd.html.
I do find it ironic and darkly apt that Amazon have named their e-book service
"Kindle". It's a word that also means firewood. They're literally
telling us what their plans are. Don't fall for it!
