A former CIA Agent working in Europe, falsely accused in a botched defection to the U.S. of a Russian Nobel Scientist sought by former KGB operatives, has been ordered "permanently retired" by his own agency. America's worst enemy is the one it ignores. While wars have been fought in Iraq, Afghanistan—threats of war agains Iran, and North Korea, even more potentially deadly enemies have been overlooked. For nearly 26 years, some in our government knew 'Quietkill' was coming yet did nothing to stop it. Why? Now it may be too late. Many in our intelligence agencies, the U.S. State Department, and elsewhere prefer this novel never be published. The cover-up began on an icy tarmac in Oslo, Norway in 1991, and extends to 2017. That's when... — *Deaths in a snow-covered field near Oslo, Norway in 1991. *Death of a defecting Russian Nobel Scientist, on a concourse at JFK in 1991, as FBI and State Department officials looked on. *Deaths in Los Angeles, California in 2016. All connected, and all part of a plan that appears unstoppable. For nearly twenty-six years, some in the U.S. government have kept a deadly secret, causing the innocent deaths of Americans here on American soil. The Cold War never really ended, despite the high-fives and celebrations. The KGB never disappeared, just as the CIA remains, and will always remain. Over the years, we have not focused on the real enemy; we have squandered vital strategic resources, and may have sealed our fate as a nation. What follows is a warning. If we are lucky, and heed the signs, there may be one final chance to ensure the long-term existence of the United States of America, as we know it.
GENE CARTWRIGHT -former Oprah guest author, past Pulitzer-nominee, and a favorite author of film icon, Cicely Tyson .
So, who is Gene Cartwright?
When Oprah read his first book, “I Never Played Catch With My Father”, and learned the national controversy it stirred, she invited him to appear on her show. Other guests included: Chuck D (Public Enemy), Dr. Michael Eric Dyson, Author Belle Hooks, and one other. That was just the beginning.
Gene was fascinated, captured by the freedom reading afforded. What was more, he read and was inspired to put his own words to paper. He has always enjoyed both technical and literary pursuits. He wrote his first novel at 12. (90 pages longhand.)
Gene is a father, author (16 books), former Electrical engineer, former Oprah guest author, inactive Marine.
He has appeared on numerous television and radio programs, including Oprah, NPR stations and countless TV morning shows, news and sports shows. He has been the subject of numerous newspaper and magazine articles.
A Baseball First: Gene was the first novelist ever interviewed on KNBR, The San Francisco Giants' flagship radio station. In 1997 he was interviewed for 30 minutes, in evening drive-time, about his novel, I Never Played Catch With My Father. A 20th year Anniversary edition of the novel has been released.
Finally, Gene's greatest childhood thrill was his very first little league baseball game. And his pet peeve? Something he labels sacrilegious: the use of the aluminum baseball bats.
