I recently watched a video interview conducted with ex-CIA officer Chip Tatum. He spoke about a drug developed and used by the CIA; I believe he mentioned insiders referred to it as the "zombie" drug. Look up MK Ultra if you're unfamiliar with that term.
Apparently, the drug is a derivative of scopalomine, which was a truth serum used by the German Gestapo during WW-2. The zombie newer drug puts an individual in a state similar to hypnosis where they become susceptible to the suggestions and commands implanted by those who administer the drug. Tatum said the drug will convert the subject into an obedient slave who will do or say anything they are instructed to do. After the drug wears off the subject is unable to remember anything. The CIA reportedly uses this drug to obtain the cooperation of others for operations where the operator can't get close enough to do the dirty work.
I'm pretty sure I heard Tatum say the drug was used in the Robert Kennedy assassination, and used that event to illustrate how the drug works and how it is used.
From the list of topics the OP provides, it sounds like the book is a compilation and summarization of these conspiracy genres. That's a difficult task, as the various elements are so numerous and interconnected. Here's a link to another such book:

I came across this during the bush/cheney years. It was quite an eye opener and helped me put a number of puzzle pieces together. At the time, the book was well-researched, organized, and documented. The text was easy enough to follow, but there were quite a few places that needed a good combing out by an editor. Those items I noticed in no way discredited the information being presented.

IMO, "Unequal Protection" is one of the best and most important books available that any American can read. Not only does it uncover the source of corporate power, it prompts the reader into thinking for themselves. It has led residents of local communities to organize and take useful steps on the municipal level to take the power back:

If you're trying to revise your understanding of history, here's the classic work written by a historian and educator who knew how to bring history alive for his readers. Howard Zinn was an avowed opponent of unbridled capitalism; so what, given what's going on, so am I, and so should you if you're not one of America's elite:

If an academic work runs counter to the world view propounded by the establishment and defended by
academicians who are paid to validate the official party line, it can't be all bad, can it?
Here's a quick summary if you want to know the basics, but if you want to understand the conflict Zinn's work stirred up, and be able to make up your own mind about the book's worth:

There is a version of this that begins much later than 1492; I didn't find that in the searches I did. You can probably do your own search on Amazon.com if you think you might want to check that out instead.

Here's a link to one of my favorite authors when it comes to delineating history:
Antony Sutton
Here's a bibliographic link to Sutton's works. You can buy these new from Amazon, and probably most of them used, as well. I've found that it's sometimes better to do a "Title/Author - used" search in Google; that will get you a list of used book stores selling the title you're looking for, quite a few having a lower price than what's available at Amazon:
Amazon.com: Antony C. Sutton: Books, Biography, Blog, Audiobooks, Kindle
My impression is that Sutton's work prompted the formation of the John Birch Society, though I can't remember what other materials I'd read that indicated that. IMO, the establishment found Sutton's work so dangerous they deliberately co-opted the John Birch Society in order to direct the resulting backlash against the establishment onto a side track to ameliorate the damage being done to "the cause."
Here are links to PDF downloads of Sutton's monograph trilogy on the role American bankers played in events leading up to WW-2; no charge/free and completely legal:

Here's the search result for a female author who crusades about the changes that have been deliberately induced in American society:
Google
When I came across her stuff, it seemed she was a bit commercialized. I wasn't willing to purchase her stuff, or pay the fee to access the materials she had on her website, but having a B.Ed. degree myself, I was in agreement with the message she was presenting concerning the effects of the curriculum and methods used in the American public school system.
John Talor Gatto is another person who crusades against the public school educational system. I do have very large problems with the movement to promote private magnate schools. I'm not familiar with Gatto's support or opposition to this policy. His materials do include to a document titled "Occasional Letter Number One" written by John D. Rockefeller during or around the year 1904. That letter and Rockefeller's activities during that period of his life in which he used his fortune to transform society is a good place to start getting a grasp on how the elites dominate the rest of the society in which they live.
