4 Stars — Hit Job on Trump, Destroys Pence

This book buries Mike Pence — ignorant, lazy, delusional, ambitious beyond his abilities. Although I remove one star for the relatively low-brow trashing of our President (Donald Trump), on balance the authors have rendered a stellar public service with this book. Not only will Mike Pence never be President, but if God's plan plays out as I anticipate, he will not be Vice President in 2020.

The authors establish, with excellent references and clear writing, all of the reasons why Mike Pence should be dropped from the Trump ticket in 2020, and ideally be retired even sooner.

Review: Bernie or Bust – Pioneers of Electoral Revolt

4 Star, Democracy

Mush with Three Pieces of Edible Sausage

@BernieOrBust with Patrick Walker

4 stars

While this book is valuable as an early overview of the how and why of the Sandernista revolution, it is also extremely tedious.

Among the best points of the book are its articulation of all the frustrations with “Establishment Democrats” that led to the growth of dissidents enchanted with Sanders, including its condemnation of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) as being neoliberal rather than progressive; and its overall illumination of why #WalkAway is exploding today.

Review: A Legacy of Spies by John LeCarre

4 Star, Fiction, Intelligence (Government/Secret)

4 Stars A Capstone Work But Only For Prior Readers

John LeCarre

This book has been over-promoted. The ga ga reviews from the fake news mainstream media led by the New York Crimes are probably paid for, and do not accurately represent the value of this book. In a nutshell, it is a good read but only for those who have read all of Le Carre's prior work and particularly the George Smiley series.

Former spies like myself, and incoming trainees, might appreciate the sprinkling of tradecraft throughout the book.

Right Idea, Wrong Title — All Wars Are A Huge Success for the Bankers

I received this book as part of my registration for a 3 June 2017 conference on the Deep State, and I have the same problem with the book that I had with the conference: the author's don't “get” that every war is a massive success for the Rothschilds, the Vatican, the City of London, Wall Street, and the banks that fund all sides in every war. The bankers and the Khazarian mafia that uses the Freemasons (most unwitting) to dominate their “world order.”

Review: Lost Symbol (Fiction)

4 Star, America (Founders, Current Situation), Consciousness & Social IQ, Cosmos & Destiny

Dan Brown

White-Washes the Freemasons (Central to the Deep State But Not in This Book), Avoids Extra-Terrestials, Pedophilia, Evil++

Generally, this is fiction for smart people, the lesser endowed will find the details and the melanges confusing or distracting. At one level the author uses a story line straight out of the “National Treasure” movie series featuring Nicholas Cage, but overlays that with a Freemason secret society story line and adds to that the Noetic Sciences / cosmic consciousness story line. All good, I was absorbed for a few hours.

Review: Wrong Side of History

4 Star, America (Founders, Current Situation), Atrocities & Genocide, Congress (Failure, Reform), Empire, Sorrows, Hubris, Blowback, Executive (Partisan Failure, Reform), War & Face of Battle

Truthful, Useful, Good Read for Any Patriotic Citizen, May 28, 2017

Sarah Westall –whom I know from her superb Business Game Changes video series — tells it like it is in Syria. The book gives you more than just the Syrian perspective, it also illustrates how the US Government (in our name and without Article 1 Constitutional authority) is creating and aligning itself with the most brutal regimes in human history, notably Saudi Arabia and Qatar. The U.S. is at risk of creating and backing a 2^nd holocaust; the entire region will be ethnically cleansed, including Christians and moderate Muslims, by Islamic extremists.
