    If you want an accounting of what was proposed and what was enacted (at the time of the writing), then this book provides a good source. If you are looking for anything else, then you might as well look for another title

    Klayman states: " if I ever wrote a book about all of this, would anyone believe me." And after reading this bare all book, I could only shake my head and say to myself, did all of this actually take place!

    To me it appears that Mr. Harrison attacks too many complex issues with his one vision fits all---choice

      This 130 page manuscript provides a rather intriguing look into just how much electronic data gathering occurs. While the book centers primarily on surveillance in England, some examples are United States specific.

    Edward P. Djerejian, author of An American Ambassador’s Journey Through The Middle East served both Democratic and Republican presidents under eight administrations from John F. Kennedy to William Jefferson Clinton.  In addition, Djerejian served as Ambassador to Syria and Israel and was the Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs under Bush and Clinton.

    Upon his departure from Israel, Yitzhak Rabin gave a most appropriate toast to him when he stated that he and his wife Leah regretted his short tenure in Israel (one year) and he went on to mention that never had there been an American diplomat who came to Israel after being the ambassador to Syria.

    As the old cliché goes, “action speaks louder than words” and someday you may want to examine Barack Obama’s presidential years and compare what he said during and before his presidential campaign and what he actually did and accomplish while in office.





    Author: Walter M. Brasch

    ISBN: 978-1-4196-6950-7

    Gosh, when I received this book, I had a million other things I could be doing – anything rather than reading about a president who rewrote the constitution, lied to the people to get them to back a war, and approved torture for POWs. A president who changed cabinet members like people change underwear was not the thing that made a good day for me. However, I dug into Sinking of Ship of State and was thrilled! I could not put it down – it was the first piece of truth I had heard in years about George W. Bush.

    Actually, I think this book isn’t for only kids.  Every American citizen should have a copy of it.  We have forgotten what this document says and what it means to each and every one of us.  My hat is off to Cathy Travis for undertaking this work so that the young ones in the United States would have a guide to the most important document in our government, the basic law of our land.






    Author: Marc Boyajian

    ISBN-13: 978-1432728014

    Coming from an author with a background of an immigrant (Marc was born Syrian with an Armenian heritage), The Next Falling Empire does offer some useful insights from an insider-outsider (Marc Boyajian has been in the United States over twenty years).  His ideas range from the strategic to the tactical.  Marc Boyajian’s arguments can seem a bit of an all over the place rant at times but much of what he has to say makes sense.
