About this listen
A mesmerizing mix of Charles Bukowski, Hunter S. Thompson, and Philip K. Dick, Chameleo is a true account of what happened in a seedy Southern California town when an enthusiastic and unrepentant heroin addict named Dion Fuller sheltered a US marine who'd stolen night vision goggles, and perhaps a few top secret files, from a nearby military base. Dion found himself arrested (under the ostensible auspices of The Patriot Act) for conspiring with international terrorists to smuggle top-secret military equipment out of Camp Pendleton. The fact that Dion had absolutely nothing to do with international terrorists, smuggling, top-secret military equipment, or Camp Pendleton didn't seem to bother the military. He was released from jail after a six day long Abu Ghraib-style interrogation. Subsequently he believed himself under intense government scrutiny and, he suspected, the subject of bizarre experimentation involving "cloaking" - electro-optical camouflage so extreme it renders observers practically invisible from a distance of some meters - by the Department of Homeland Security. Hallucination? Perhaps - except Robert Guffey, an English teacher and Dion's friend, tracked down and interviewed one of the scientists behind the project, codenamed Chameleo, an experimental technology that appears to have been stolen by the US Department of Defense and deployed on American soil. More shocking still, Guffey discovered that the DoD has been experimenting with its newest technologies on a number of American citizens. A condensed version of this story was the cover feature of Fortean Times magazine (September 2013).

Chameleo America Today
Considering this is a true retelling of actual events, all I can say is thank god I’m British and not American!
For the reality if that’s what it is in America right now of personal drug induced reality is truly horrifying and that’s without the madness of government agencies running round doing all kinds of experiments on its own people, is a psychotic mix of dictatorial anarchy, with no form of control.
What ever happened to you America, Land of the Free and Home of the Brave???
The Dream must truly be over……….

Great tale for X-Files fans
Although it lagged a little about 3/4 way through, A wonderful, if frightening, journey to the edge of a possible world.
It's hard to believe but that doesn't matter, and the summary at the end it spot on.
If you enjoyed the adventures of Mulder and Scully Then you're going to love this book.

Both Sides of US Anti-Intellectualism!
There was so much prigressivr hope for America in 1776! But in the 21st century the utter stupidity of the place and the people is staggering and mind blowing! This is a country that views rightwing ignorance is seen as a virtue and where the author - obviously unaware of his country's perpetual crimes against humanity - compares Hitler to Stalin and fascism to Communism! If you told him that Hitler killed over 40 million Soviet men, women and children during WWII, or that the US was an ally of Stalin and the USSR during WWII - he would probably suffer yet another psychological meltdown! It is interesting how the subject of the book is about governmental lying on a massive scale - and yet all the anti-Soviet Cold War lies go undetected and uncorrected! This is important because the US has become a cesspit of fascism through a hundred years of anti-Socialist propaganda to the point where authors such as this nolonger possess the cognitive ability to perceive the difference between fascism and Socialism! Oh yeah - there's gun-touting and out of control cops, a lying military, apes dressed as soldiers, drugs, gang stalking and leap-ftogging robots!
