 Review  of  Jim Sparks' book, "The Keepers" - An Alien Message for
the Human Race



Editorial Reviews
Product Description  http://www.amazon.com/Keepers-Alien-Message-Human-Race/dp/1930724055

Jim Sparks's account of a decade of consciously remembered encounters
with intelligent alien beings provides one of the richest and most
detailed documentations of all abduction history. He has been given a
sobering message for humanity: our planet is dying.

About the Author
:Jim Sparks was raised in Florida and studied business and real estate
at community colleges in both Miami and Houston. He was a successful
land developer in North Carolina when his abductions began in 1988 and
changed his life forever. Today, Jim realizes he is not alone. Many
others have gone through similar experiences. Whether fortunate or
unfortunate, he differs from most abductees in that he has almost
total recall of his experiences. In the two decades he has been
dealing with the ETs, he has seen and experienced amazing technologies
that could eliminate our need for fossil fuel by creating free,
nonpolluting energy. Jim lives in the Nevada desert. In 2007, he began
to work full-time to educate the public regarding the alien/UFO
abduction scenario and its purpose. A conservationist at heart, Jim
has also started Your Earth Foundation to help save the rain forests
of the world.

Brings up More Questions Than it Answers, December 16, 2006
By
W. Christie
(REAL NAME)

Jim Spark is a fascinating person to interview, and I have on tape his
original discussion with Jeff Rense about his alien abductions back in
1998. All the events in the book presumably happened by 1998, since
the book pretty much follows the line of that original interview with
Jeff Rense back in 1998.

However, for me the book brings up more questions than answers.

1. Why did the aliens put Jim through 6 years of indoctrination
learning a multi-level written symbolic code of communication when
direct mind to mind communication was so simple from start to finish?
What was the point of all this? Jim never really tells us, if he
knows. It reminds me of the 4 years in highschool I took studying
Latin. Except for the Toga Party in the school lunch room (those were
simple times, folks!) I never understood why Latin was required. In
the 30 years that have passed since then, I have never used it, and
can only remember "Ego Amo Ranas" (I love Frogs).
2. If the aliens are truly our pals and they are really card carrying
members of Green Peace, very concerned about the environment, it seems
totally illogical to abduct people, then erase the memory except for a
selected few like good old Jim. Jim claims that his destiny is to
spread the word that the environment is decaying. Well, guess what!
World class scientists have been telling the world this news for
decades, and the corporate controlled governments of the planet are
not listening. I really have to wonder about the intelligence of these
aliens, if they think that Jim Sparks is going to change the future of
the planet by appearing on late night talk shows and speaking at UFO
Conferences. Not! Perhaps he should run for Congress?
3. The aliens are supposedly working secretly with our government, and
have given the government the technology to save the environment,
produce food and energy without pollution. The government is keeping
all this technology stashed away in a root cellar under the Pentagon
and refusing to release it for Military and Security reasons. So why
don't the aliens just release the same technology to the many
brainiacs out in the world?!?! As I recall, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs
began the computer PC revolution in their dad's garage! They had the
brains and the paradigm breaking imagination to think outside the box.
So why aren't the aliens just handing over this information to similar
brainiacs? Jim Sparks is a nice guy, but he sells real estate, he
isn't a physicist or engineer or someone of the mental leaning that
could understand advanced technology. Consequently, there is a big
disconnect in logic here, especially since Jim claims he has seen the
aliens still working with the military, even though the military
refuses to honor their side of the bargain. Hmmmmm...very odd. Maybe
these naive aliens need a good Hollywood agent who can find them a
much better deal. How about contacting Stephen Spielberg, abducting
HIM and give all this information to HIM. The man has the means to
make a motion picture that would be seen by zillions of people alover
the world, and screw the government! Too easy?
4. As I read the entire book, my belief in Jim became more and more
eroded. I'm sorry, Jim, but it did. That could have been just the way
the book ended, but here is what bothered me. The book begain with Jim
as Mr. Normal Heterosexual Macho Guy in business and doing well, when
these aliens began "night school" abductions. OK, so far fine! Then
the book skips from these lessons (which seem to end with no
explanation or practical usage) and Jim is on more friendly terms. The
aliens become much more human in their dialogue (while ironically
being of a Reptilian race) and eventually meet Jim for a confab in an
abandoned fun-park. Jim is sure to tell us that the aliens adore
uniforms and funny hats, a nice touch. But the confab is pretty much
standard fare: the planet is dieing so do something about it, Jim.
Well, the obvious reader response (at least to me) was "Stop
delegating your job, jerks! YOU do something." It felt like a setup, a
con job to me. I began to doubt the entire story then, because it is
so illogical. But what really bothered me was when Jim nonchalantly on
one page noted that he's also been visited by people from the distant
future. Geez, this guy gets around! Is his house a Star Gate? What
makes Jim so special that not only Greys abduct him, but also
Reptilians, and even humans from the distant future drop in for a chat
over a beer? I don't get it. What next, lunch with the astral form of
Princess Diana? Is there some sort of invisible beacon over Jim's head
that blinks like an airport light, inviting touch downs by entities
from other dimensions and times? If I had this power, I'd pray for
Jesus to show up and give me the straight story.
5. I thought the message of the book was that our planet is dieing.
The aliens are concerned because they "farm" us for body parts. So
where do the healthy looking human people from the future come from?
It implies that evidently the planet does not die, so we can all
relax. Yet, then Jim drops another bombshell on us, saying that the
Grey aliens are us, coming back from the far future to harvest our
genetic materials to heal themselves. Geez, what a great future! Hope
I don't have to reincarnate into that time period. After all our
accomplishments and challenges, we end up being ugly little parasites
who zip around at night abducting defenseless children, women and men
for sperm, ova, and other cells. As Jim notes, perhaps the Greys are
part of some inter-galactic drug store chain selling human tissues....

OK, I could probably do a much longer review, but the bottom line is
that while the book was a fun read, it just didn't hold together for
me, because:There were a lot of cliches in it. You know, that the
aliens are here to tell us the Earth is dieing. Well, duh! That the
government has technology to heal everyone and everything but won't
use it out of greed. Typical conspiracy stuff.

I am troubled that Jim has been set up (or set himself up) as being
responsible for spreading the alien's message (on talk shows, UFO
Conferences, books, future video's, etc. all on sale). The poor guy!
One guy against a world wide civilization that wastes and pollutes.
All I can say is, Good Luck! If this is the best the aliens can do,
then I really think we are in trouble.

I hope for Jim's sake that he is not be set up by these "aliens" as a
rube or a patsy. He seems to trust them implicitly, yet we know from a
long history (per objective writers like Jacque Vallee) that they lie.
Yes, they deceive. Who knows? Their real purpose here may have nothing
to do with what they say, and that's the sad and scary part.
