the following book review:
Guilt by Association: How Deception and Deceit Took America to War by Jeff Gates (2008)

I am wondering if the “shadowy forces” in Douglass’ book are linked to the “nefarious criminal syndicate” in the Gates book. It looks like I have some reading to do.

Excerpts from review:

“In order to overcome an enemy we must first understand who and what he is, what his purpose is, how he operates. It is the great value of Guilt by Association that it brings out into bold relief the nature, identity, methodology and support system of this nefarious criminal syndicate; what has been “hidden in plain sight” for so long is finally made accessible to any open-minded reader.”

“Even more nuanced is this author's concept of “fields within fields,” which I do not hope to be able to fully convey in this limited review. Much of the book is spent demonstrating how this syndicate “operates with a common criminal focus coordinated around a shared ideology.” It is difficult not to think about the enigmatic Kennedy assassination when we read: “ Evidentiary trails in this area seldom run in straight lines...Also, 'prepare-the-minds' incidents, events and relationships are often pre-staged over lengthy time periods, making barriers to transparency even more daunting.” How much more difficult to face down an enemy that uniquely entrenches itself in four dimensions. “...(S)yndicate operations are diffused and sustained in 'fields within fields...within fields' of relationships that stretch across time, distance and both major political parties. This field-based structure enables systemic criminality to proceed in plain view and oftentimes with only modest coordination around shared goals.” The subtlety of such an enemy is almost as breath-taking as this author's ability to describe it in words. Yet until we arrive at this conceptual clarity, we remain enmeshed in this enemy's grip. This idea of fields within fields will not be new to those who have read Michael Collins Piper's classic study of the Kennedy Assassination, Final Judgment, but Gates' crisp formulation of it here will fortify the understanding of even the most advanced conspiracy cognoscente.
