This type <br>  <br> of information represents special interests of a Very High Kind, and <br>  <br> took a lot of doing by the perpetrators, which means lying, <br>  <br> conniving, cheating, and most of all -- killing.  This subculture <br>  <br> within America, this Spoooooky shadow government, has <br>  <br> become so developed that it is not far off the mark to stipulate <br>  <br> they actually control a large portion of the apparatus of <br>  <br> government.  This is all spelled out plausibly and efficiently as <br>  <br> we follow Mr. Hopsicker through his investigation.  For a long <br>  <br> time now things have not been right in America.  Mr. Hopsicker <br>  <br> does a good job of showing us why. <br><br> Great care has been taken with the documentation that has been <br>  <br> laid down in this 518 page book (Over 50 of the pages at the <br>  <br> back are heretofore unpublished documents tying events <br>  <br> together) and I am sure Daniel Hopsicker would agree that <br>  <br> much of his work entailed chasing papers, a many times <br>  <br> thankless and uninspiring activity at best, which can even turn <br>  <br> dangerous on occasion.  Mr. Hopsicker plowed through the <br>  <br> pitfalls and misleads like a bull, while wisely making use of <br>  <br> expert help along the way.  He worked hard at gleaning facts, <br>  <br> and where conclusion is not possible he says so.  This is a <br>  <br> necessary attribute in a researcher, because as a rule, nothing <br>  <br> ever fits together perfectly in the real world, and if it all comes <br>  <br> together too perfectly on paper,  it is usually a fabrication.  Barry <br>  <br> And The Boys is nothing like fabrication, it is a chronology of <br>  <br> events with the paperwork to back it up.  Consider also that Great <br>  <br> expenditure of taxpayer dollars has gone into the governments <br>  <br> secrecy machine, to keep things secret, and it can then be <br>  <br> understood what a formidable task it has become to pursue the <br>  <br> truth in this country.  Without people like Mr. Hopsicker and those <br>  <br> whose references he cites, we would be well into a form of <br>  <br> Naziism unimagined even in Hitlers time.  They have had time to <br>  <br> refine, you see?   <br><br> The book itself is fun to read, which is about the best thing I can <br>  <br> ever say about any book.  If its fun to read, thats the best it can <br>  <br> be.  Hopsicker has a sometimes biting humor, and one should <br>  <br> expect this from a person who goes delving after truth.  There is <br>  <br> a quote of Lilly Tomlins in the book, a poignant reminder of what <br>  <br> truth seeking can lead to: \"I get more cynical by the day, but I <br>  <br> never seem to catch up\", or something along those lines. <br>  <br> Certain catch phrases appear at just the right time throughout <br>  <br> the book also, barbs perhaps, bringing particular points home <br>  <br> full circle in many different instances.  There were goosebumps <br>  <br> on occassion.  For Real.  And never before have I read a more <br>  <br> apt description of the American Viewing Public than in \"Barry And <br>  <br> The Boys\", where Mr. Hopsicker refers to the poor deluded <br>  <br> sheople of this nation, mesmerized by geegaws and flash, as <br>  <br> \"The chumps in the cheap seats\".  Thanks Daniel.  Thats the <br>  <br> type of thing that really gets around, and thats not bad at all. <br>  <br> Truth is Good. <br><br> This book is valuable historic record, at a time when history has <br>  <br> become mired in secrecy, advertising, public relations <br>  <br> campaigns, and straight out propoganda.  It is interesting <br>  <br> beyond belief, Barry And The Boys, and stays well away from <br>  <br> theories, dealing only in evidentiary conclusions.  That, my <br>  <br> friends, is enough by far, when poring over the evidence <br>  <br> concerning this social phenomenon here in America today, <br>  <br> something social scientists label the \"Elite Deviant Class\".  This <br>  <br> book is about the people in this grouping within our society, this <br>  <br> class of deviants, who believe the law is only for the little people, <br>  <br> and can be modified at their whim, or broken at will.  Its about <br>  <br> your government, and how they really are, how things really are, <br>  <br> unembellished and properly presented.  It is by no means pretty, <br>  <br> but it doesn't have to be pretty to be the truth. <br><br> Two words describe Daniel Hopsickers book \"Barry And The <br>  <br> Boys -- The CIA, The Mob, And Americas Secret History\", and <br>  <br> those two words are Valuable, and Important.  In my opinion the <br>  <br> book should be in every library in America, from the high schools <br>  <br> up. <br><br> Visit www.madcowprod.com for more info, and to order. <br><br>  <br><br>  <br><br>  <br><br> \n","contact":"","link":"","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"\r\nReview By Bill Gallagher, First Published 9-10-01","numcomment":0,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2006\/09\/180124.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[]}
