Are contrails a covert aerial poisoning program, or are they actually a governmental warning to potential alien threats? Was JFK assassinated by operatives within his own government or had he secretly gone mad was eliminated for the safety of the world?

Find out the surprising "happy truths" to these crackpot theories and more in Tolerable Conspiracies: Some Secrets are Good for You, a new book by Manhattan-based comedian and author Shawn Wickens, available for order at Amazon or ShawnWickens.com.

Inspired by 2016's glut of emotionally manipulative fake news, Wickens uses "numerous anonymous sources and experts" to cover and uncover the Illuminati, the faked moon landing, Elvis Presley's whereabouts and more, to show us that yes, it all happened, but everything is ok.

"For too long the fringe has operated under the paranoid assumption that secrets and cabals are to be distrusted," Wickens says. "Tolerable Conspiracies shows that these nefarious secret organizations and shadow governments are covertly out to help you."

Wickens is co-founder of Bad Theater Fest and a comedy performer at the Magnet Theater. He previously Interviewed more than a thousand people for his first book, How to Lose Your Virginity, a collection of shocking and humorous loss of virginity stories, and his writing has been honored by the LA Horror Film Festival, 48 Hr Film Festival, and The Paley Center for Media.

Tolerable Conspiracies: Some Secrets are Good for You by Shawn Wickens, $6.99 at Amazon.com/dp/1541082230 or ShawnWickens.com.
