About this listen

 Blind Reason is an ambitious and insidious tale of a global conspiracy to launch a Fourth Reich. Amidst a tangled web of insatiable greed, mind-altering pharmaceuticals, rogue spies, and a vast fortune hidden in a Swiss bank, the story begins at the end of WWII with the discovery of the Merkers mine in which 8000 paintings of Nazi propaganda art, along with tons of gold and other valuables stashed by the Nazis, are uncovered by U.S. soldiers. More than 50 years later, this art collection becomes germane to the story. Maya Warwick, a reclusive author living in a mountain community outside Denver, discovers that her best friend has committed suicide. The only clue Maya can find is an empty bottle of Euphorin, the latest Prozac-like "mood brightener.” Fearing that her friend's actions were a side effect of the medication, Maya researches Euphorin and discovers that FetcherBurkeWinslow is a subsidiary of VB Pharmaceuticals (referred to as the "poison machine of the Third Reich") and that VB was the maker of the psychotropic drugs used in mind-control experiments at Auschwitz. She is lured into an online relationship, and as a result meets the man in charge of the infamous CIA experiments known as Project MK-Ultra. He recruits Maya into Operation SHADOWHAWK, a black project set up to entrap Baron von Brandt, president of VB Pharmaceuticals, into disclosing his plans for advancing the new Nazi party.

The first edition of this book was released in 2002 and is still listed on Amazon under the author name of Patricia Griffon along with the reviews from earlier versions. The story was inspired by true events that took place between the years 1997-2001 and which are woven into the fabric of the story. In the intervening years between then and 2019, we have seen the steady rise in white nationalism, neo-Nazi groups, and anti-immigration zealots as well as nearly weekly mass shootings committed most often by people who have been medicated with Euphorin-type psychiatric drugs. Blind Reason is more relevant today than when it was first released nearly 20 years ago.
