When
I wrote “Barry & the boys” almost ten years ago I had no idea
that the story of America’s most famous drug smuggler would shortly
have relevance to the biggest event of the still-young 21st
Century, the 9/11 attack.
But it did. And
it still does.
When a Lear-jet
belonging to the owner of the flight school where Mohamed Atta
had just begun flight training was seized in July 2000 carrying
43 lbs of heroin (according to the Orlando Sentinel, a Central
Florida record) the story would have had huge implications for unanswered
question about why Atta’s 9/11 terrorist cadre chose a tiny retirement
community with the second oldest population in the entire United
States as their home.
Would
have had huge implications—except it was suppressed.
And
the embarrassing fact that one of the men with drug smuggler and
CIA pilot Barry Seal in the now-famous photograph on the cover
of “Barry & the boys’” was Porter Goss, picked in 2004 by
President George W Bush to head America’s Central Intelligence
Agency, would have been big news.
Would
have been—except it, too, has been suppressed. See the pattern?
Currently
over
100 books cite my two books as references,
by Google’s count. You might think
this would be enough to excite interest from a major American
publisher, especially since so many
readers and reviewers seem to think
highly of the book.
But you’d be
wrong. None have
expressed any interest. When my next book arrives it will have
been they arrive, it will be
through my
own efforts, and those of my friends, especially friend and
courageous publisher Kris Millegan and his Trine Books out in Eugene Oregon.
That's about as far
from the center of American publishing as you can get.

I’ve finally managed
to put enough money together to reprint a few hundred copies of
"Barry
& 'the boys,’ but not enough to sell them as “books” in
any conventional publishing framework. “Barry & ‘the boys’”
is currently selling for between $100 and $150 dollars
on Amazon. None of that went to me.
To continue to
investigate what I think needs investigating, and then writer a
book or produce a documentary about what I've found, I need
to take in signifcantly more than in the past two years. The
"Great Recession has been hard on most of us. When you've been
marginalized, every month is a challenge.
From
now on "Barry & the boys" and my other books and documentaries
will be available through donations only, in the following
packages:
THE BIG BONUS PACKAGE: Signed
copies of “Barry
& the boys,’ “Welcome to TerrorLand;”
And 6 DVD’s: “The New American Drug Lords” and my
five other documentaries, for a $200
donation.
THE BONUS PACKAGE: “Barry &
the boys,’ and “Welcome to TerrorLand” for a $100 donation.
THE PACKAGE: 6 DVD’s. “The
New American Drug Lords” AND ALL FIVE of my other
documentaries for a $100
donation.
Also, if you
want to make a recurring donation, or a donation of any amount,
you can do that too.
My next book, out
early next year, will
expand on the just-released two-hour “The New American Drug
Lords.”
Thank you for
your support!
