A very informative book that could drive people mad with fear and feeling trapped if taken entirely literally--which is a terrible habit to form let alone keep up in this time of disruption, but unfortunately the most popuilar response to so much bad news. This book is an overview of America's secret history--including indisputable little-knowns, like a detailed history of the Bush family's Nazi allegiance, in the same bag as hypotheticals, like alleged CIA biological research (a creature in Ohio called the Grassman is cast as one such "failed experiment" escaped or deliberately freed from the lab, but according YouTube, the thing's been reported in the area since 1839). So you have to read between the lines. Either way, it's an ugly setup they got backstage. I'd say "used to have," but in the last two days Obama perpetuated warrantless wiretapping and the suspension of habeas corpus by moving Gitmo to Afghanistan after dramatically "closing it down." It was the same old dirty shell game from before in sheep's clothing. I went to the supermarket and stood there in a line and looked at all the other people standing there in all the other lines, and heard the cash registers beeping. Could I really believe George Bush II stole two elections in a row, started an illegal, unending war then just gave up? Even I swallowed the hook. It took me a couple of days to feel normal again after reading this book. It's very well written, some parts more credible than others, but according to this book (and common sense),if there is an over-arching conspiracy to influence American consensus opinion (and how could there not be, considering all the cash registers?), that's just how the conspirators want you to feel, afraid and uncertain and worried. Here's a word to the wiseguy: Circumstances don't matter, only state of being matters.
