This book is not just about connections. Nor is it about one figure in particular. On the contrary, it is about the thread that connects sinister individuals - as they charm and worm their way through history; how society turns a blind eye to the trickery of real-life figures; how it falls upon us to recognize the scam.
It explores the kind of connections that bind together events and the people who make them happen, which at first seem unrelated, but have a curious element in common, one that allows some to cross boundaries many would never consider.
Images of narcissism play out in this stream of consciousness tour de force, as it unveils abuses in the world of business and politics. Presented are a vicious circle of characters and a cycle of exploitation, as history replays if not repeats itself. Cause and effect take on new meaning in a fight for a better world, a healthier life and sustainability for the planet.
White noise drowns out messages and the sound is deafening.
Look beyond the obvious and glimpse a world of diabolical people, some famous; some infamous; some anonymous; some hidden behind a veil.
Distractions of the smoke and mirrors kind surround us. The circus is in town. They're putting on a parade.
Sit back, relax and enjoy the show.
