    G’Day Folks, Well I finished the McCarthy book, and as I said here before, it’s a ripping yarn. And oh boy, does that twig at the end of the branch of speculation get a whipping and severe rotation, but it had to be that way. It has to be said that what did McCarthy know and when did he know it, and didn’t tell or say. He obviously smelt a rat or “rats”, and went with his gut feeling on many occasions. He was in my mind a true American patriot, and ironically paid a penalty for it.

    • I agree Ken… he is villified far more than he deserves… and he definitely knew more than he ever let on I think.

    • I myself finished the book in two motions. ripping open the package walking up the driveway, and then sitting down on the couch and not moving till I had comsumed it. This book is incredibly timely, the scholarship is erudite as always, and indeed it’s a propulsive read, zipping forward while leaving a wealth of breadcrumbs to double-back on and follow up on. Clearly, McCarthy’s caustic barbs and his forensic insights stripped away the veneer from the deep state and left a few unvarnished realities dangerously near to being exposed. JFK’s absence at the censure argues forcefully that McCarthy in many ways left many threads for the future President to pull on, threads that always seem to end one up at Bethesda, be it in an “oxygen tent’, near an open window, and ultimately, hurriedly laid out on a slab. A can’t miss book Gizars!
