LOL! Did I just see you on Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura??? OMG I love your book. I have bought about 10 copies of it and given it to various people. Also I find you a lot more credible than Jim Marrs.
Respect from Denver.

Saw you on Ventura’s show. Well done. Lew Rockwell had it as a post. FoS is great – keep it up Mr. Baker. Even an old Libertarian crank like me is a fan.

I just finished this book. Now I’m wondering how many of these shadow gov’t people are working in and around the Obama administration. They really have no shame.

Question for Russ: Was there a Bush family connection to the overturned verdict of the Neuremberg court regarding Alfred Krupp.John J. McCloy, OSS officer, Wall Street Lawyer, appealed on behalf of Krupp, whose Krupp family holdings had been forfeited.In addition Krupp was given a life jail sentence for war crimes, including the use of slave labor. Everything was returned to Krupp and his family. Is McCloy dealt with in your book?

Been delving into Family of Secrets. Definitely interesting stuff.
I just finished reading Kingfish Mafia: Carlos Marcello and the Assassination of John F. Kennedy by John H. Davis. Much of what I’ve read in that one nearly goes hand-in-hand w/ the JFK info in FAS.

Just finished your book and feel a combination of hopelessness and helplessness. What can we do? Look where I am from! (4th generation, no less)We have a governor who is trying to gut our public education system and any agency that helps the needy. I feel like the people in your book hijacked my state! I am trying to think of one person to pass your book on to and have come up with just one. Perhaps one candle in the darkness is enough. Thank you for your courage to expose these people. I find myself asking over and over and over – how much money is enough? Why does anyone need so much when there as so many who need just a little?

Molly and others–thanks for your thoughtful comments and support. We can take solace in the fact that accurate information itself is a disinfectant. first we educate the public, positive change will come after.

Great job on the book. My interest in this book was generated by the many unanswered questions surrounding the collapse of the World Trade Center buildings. There were just too many gaps left open for this to have been orchestrated by Osama bin Laden and crew without some people looking the other way. Since Bush would not consent to being questioned without Cheney, and on the record, I figured I needed to learn more about bush to perhaps understand 9/11. Your book came at the right time. I’d like to see another focusing on the connections between Osama bin Laden, his extended family, and the Bushes. Anything happening along those lines?

I did 3 tours in IRAQ. I saw no WMD nor oil being taken back to the USA. What I did see were many American service members sitting in the greenzone while private compaines KBR, Halliburton, titan, etc.. were paying people anywhere from 100-400K to do jobs us servicemembers coudl have done and should have. In addition billions have been lost… Thanks for being a HERO!
