Two Amazon Reviews on Bluebird (both rated at 2 stars)

Is Dr. Ross part of a sophisticated containment system?

This book is a complicated mixture of truth and deceptions, which appears to be designed to hide a crucial problem from the public by placing only a portion of it in plain view. I am a clinical psychologist. The truth in the material Dr. Ross presents is shocking and appalling: that our intelligence and military are systematically creating unwitting mind-controlled slaves using horrifying techniques to deliberately split personalities through the use of hideous trauma and other sophisticated tortures. Many of these techniques are shown in TV and movies, presented as fiction so we discount the possibility of their reality. This report also explains why treatments for mental illnesses which work are being systematically ignored in the mental health professions, a fact which has puzzled me for years. Other parts of the book mislead. For example, all the perpetrators named are conveniently dead: some mere months or weeks before publication. Another example: Dr. Ross states that satanic ritual abuse is not real. Staff of units specializing in Multiple Personality Disorder have told me that when the staff begins to take reports of satanic abuse from patients seriously, funding for the programs has been cut off. It is certainly true that most such units have been closed down, and those which survive are staffed by people who can maintain a studied "therapeutic neutrality". Of course, this lack of support for the validity of the patient's experiences is further traumatizing rather than healing. I will leave it to the reader to draw conclusions about this situation. I regret I consider it unwise to sign my name and full credentials.

Full of cowardly omissions

This was a difficult book to review. While Bluebird contains a great deal of well documented information it completely fails to address the deep connections with ongoing ritual abuse. In addition to Dr. Ross failing to mention ritual abuse in any understandable context he also fails to mention ongoing mkultra projects.

Having known people he's treated, he does them a great injustice by failing to acknowledge ritual abuse and it's connection with mkultra abuses perpetuated by organizations within our military and intelligence community. This book is full of documents, footnotes and tales of the past that have no apparent connection with ongoing activity. He also fails to mention that a majority of these abuses were perpetuated on innocent children.

Dr. Ross's deliberate omissions do almost nothing to those who continue to suffer at the hands of their abusers. Such cowardice is not only ineffective in raising awareness, it also dishonors mkultra survivors by concealing the truth of the unimaginable horrors they survived. Such men are of little use to anyone seeking justice. Survivors need courageous advocates, not librarians copying government files.
