How I put together The Matrix Revealed
by Jon Rappoport
October 26, 2013
This research and work, along with the work for its companion collection, Exit From the Matrix, took 25 years.
It started, in earnest, when I met hypnotherapist Jack True, in 1986. I was four years into a career as a freelance reporter.
A mutual friend introduced us in the UCLA Biomedical Library on a Saturday afternoon. Jack didn’t waste any time. He led me down into the lower stacks, where bound volumes of medical journals stood on shelves. He pulled out a few volumes.
He showed me studies that indicated the diagnostic tests for detecting HIV, the reputed cause of AIDS, were highly flawed.
“This is just a sample,” he said. “I wanted to show you you can find medical insanity in their own journals. It’s everywhere.”
He looked around us.
“You should write a book on the scientific fraud called AIDS,” he said.
We were off to the races. A week later, Jack introduced me to a publisher, and we struck a deal in an hour in a coffee shop in West LA.
In 1988, the book was published: AIDS Inc., Scandal of the Century. The full text is included in The Matrix Revealed.
During the writing of AIDS Inc., I learned about many medical frauds of the highest order. The walls of my small LA apartment were jammed with notes and reminders and journal citations. I taped them, tacked them, and stapled them there so I’d always have them in front of me. That was my filing system.
I was amazed at how much of my college training in logic came back to me. I needed every bit of it to navigate the lies, the false trails, the rank fraud, and the cover stories that obscured the true meaning of what I was researching.
Years later, when I put together The Matrix Revealed, I included my own logic course, knowing what essential knowledge is contained in that discipline, first codified by Aristotle.
As I was finishing the book, Jack True mentioned that he’d like to sit down and engage in a series of formal conversations, interviews, on his own work in hypnosis and deprogramming.
I eagerly agreed. It was the beginning of a period of exceptionally exciting mutual research on the mind. Jack, who died in the early 1990s, was a genius in his field. His insights are unparalleled. I included 43 of these interviews (320 pages) in The Matrix Revealed.
He said to me once, “I stopped doing hypnosis when I realized that my patients coming through the door were already hypnotized in a very deep place. I began to develop ways to wake them up. This led me into areas of what’s called paranormal ability—it’s really quite normal. People are living a sub-normal dream of very convincing quality. That dream is what people call their minds…”
A week or two after AIDS Inc. was published, Jack told me the book was on its way, in a diplomatic pouch, to Russia. He had a friend who’d sent it off. Apparently, the Russians were quite interested in potential research fraud at the US National Institutes of Health.
I never heard back from Russia, although I did have a brief correspondence with Jakob Segal, an East German biologist, who rejected US research on AIDS. He wrote me an interesting letter. I replied, pointing out what I considered were flaws in his own analysis. He didn’t answer.
Jack True made one further connection for me. It proved to be one of the most important of my life. He introduced me to a man who went by the name of Ellis Medavoy (pseudonym).
Ellis had been impressed by my book. It turned out he was a retired propaganda operative—and not just any operative. He’d carried out some of the most important psyops of our time, along with his colleagues.
Ellis was ready to talk off the record, in detail. Once I confirmed his background, he and I began a series of interviews. One of the first things he told me was: “Most propagandists are hacks. I want to give you the full story of how it’s done, how it works, and why it works. To grasp that, you need to understand the mind in a different way…”
In The Matrix Revealed, I’ve included 28 interviews with Ellis (290 pages). Together with Jack, these conversations convinced me to go digging further into the ancient fabled civilization of Tibet, before it became a theocracy saddled with control and a whole pile of metaphysical baggage.
I was very happy to confirm that core principles of Tibetan spiritual exercises dovetailed very well with what Jack True and Ellis Medavoy were revealing about mind programming and how the Matrix operates, in the external and internal worlds.
So these are a few of the threads that led me to put together The Matrix Revealed, and to stand firm, over these last years, on what I’ve learned.
I started out as a reporter…and eventually realized how wide and deep the field really is.

We’ve turned off the TV, we’ve turned off the radio – we already know that all MSM including major newspapers and internet sites are shite. I propose that the seers aka those who see through the bullshit, now implement Operation Shyster. Whenever encountering TSA at the airport or other media and government gulag-type officials, simply transmit and utter the word Shyster, as both an acknowledgment and call down to those space and time-fillers merely functioning to make the trains run on time. I would extend this practice to any and all of our “elected” officials when encountered via real and/or electronic means – all the way up (or down as is your preference) to members of the US Congress and whoever is the current occupant of1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
I really appreciate the thoughts and work you put forth here. Thank you for writing and blogging everyday – you are an inspiration.
Truly fascinating!
Thanks Jon for producing The Matrix Revealed and Exit the Matrix. They offer powerful tools for accessing an individuals ability for critical thinking and creativity. (I have both Matrix collections.) Everyone needs these skills today. – – – I have spoken with young family members who are now graduating from high school or are in college. I was shocked at how poorly developed is their capacity for critical thinking, creativity, and basic writing skills. They are ‘taught’ to take tests – not to think for themselves. These young people attended a public high school that is among the top 10 rated in our state . They are ‘good students’ who got As and Bs on their report cards. The students & their parents therefore think that they have been ‘educated’. ( I would hate to see what is produced from poor students from low rated schools. ) Of course, the schools that these poorly educated young people have attended spend millions on building projects and new sports facilities.
John Taylor Gatto wrote about the deliberate dumbing down of education through the mandatory schooling system in his book “The Underground History of American Education” (This book can be found online and read for free at http://www.johntaylorgatto.com/chapters ) The only way one can truly educate themselves & their children today – for the most part – is to take charge for yourself. Jons Matrix materials are excellent for helping with this vital task.
“They are ‘good students’ who got As and Bs on their report cards.”
…RJ in this reverse think world, this no measure of education, free-will or a blazing curiosity for knowledge. But simply the sign of obedience. Have you ever wondered why many are diagnosed with that scurge ADD and ADHD. This is a sign of frustrated intellect, and a bad diet. Emphasis on former. Young children ask questions, when those question are stifled because they do not adhere to the CORE curriculum, a child quickly becomes stifled, resulting in attention problems, focus, and restlessness. those that teach these children do not realize that ‘play is the way’.
In a study in the seventies it was found, that children learn about 4% of what is taught to them in school. When children were taught using play, which is evident in nature as young mammals play incessantly… the amount absorbed and learned by the child was mind shattering for those performing the study. And i do not mean memorized trivial facts. I am speaking about critical thinking, with consequence.
Thanks always, Jon, for your unwavering commitment to sharing the revealing truths you’ve uncovered through intensive research over the past years. I feel so privileged to have grown up on a beautiful farm in the Midwest where I spent many hours playing in the woods & discovering the Natural World through endless days of abandon without adults repressing my unbridled curiosity. Needless to say, this added greatly to my intellectual & spiritual development that were free from suffocating dogma & harsh criticism. Fortunately, i never saw a television until I was 14 years old which gave me unlimited time for reading innumerable books of varied & thought-provoking content. My parents also contributed to me & my 5 siblings expansive development by encouraging debates around the kitchen table after shared meals where we had to use logic & critical thinking to defend our points of view .I also learned to trust my own innate intuition when, later as an adult, I traveled world-wide studying, as an RN, alternative & natural healing modalities. I feel fortunate the Matrix passed me by at an early age! Presently, I do not watch TV nor am I “addicted” to the Internet. I am highly selective about where I resource information. You are one whose point-of-view I sincerely seek & highly respect…Thank you again for your wise, critical wisdom as well as your courage to share it during these difficult times…
