  People should post this on their FB page and send it everywhere. Ask folks to share it if they find it interesting. We have to let more people know what is hidden behind this book cover. As one blogger wrote of this book somewhere I can’t remember, ” there are more WTF moments in this book than any other I have read”. Part of that WTishness is the feeling that “oh I woulda heard of it by now”

  But can we go on living in a media world where Gary Harts and John Edwards are Monkey Business TKOd from Elections and the minefield of the secrets of H.W. Bush’s role in Watergate and Dallas go completely unaired? That is the right now question posed by this book.The cognitive dissonance that is the prerequisite to learning CAN occur. But first we must cut and paste.

  I just thank God for people like the author. I truly believe, for alot of reasons, that 9-11 was premeditated.

  What is interesting about the book is not so much what the Bush family did right or wrong but that Americans accepts how the government operates. I am sure if the author goes back to all the presidents the same patterns have always been there. The founding fathers layed the foundaton as well as all the loop holes. I do not know if that makes us great but it does defines us as a people. Bush II just did not know how to pull it off. Poppy did not know how either. He was only served one term. I always wondered how he lost. It will take years to right the wrongs. By then it will not matter. It will be like a tear in the falling rain.
