In regards to the question diarist KingOneEye raises, I can not help remembering facts surrounding New York Times’ best-seller, *“The Obama Nation” by JEROME R. CORSI.

True the book was on the best-seller list but it seems if a book title has an “asterisk” beside it, the asterisk indicates there was a mass and bulk sale of the book. The facts, as I heard it, are the mass and bulk sales of “The Obama Nation” were purchased by the Pentagon.

It is my understanding Mr. Corsi has a relationship with the Pentagon but other than my surprise the Pentagon could or would promote a book, I am also mindful the Pentagon/Military budget is a secret. It may have change but I did hear this as a fact some years ago. If indeed the budget is a secret, than the areas of their spending habits can also be a secret of sorts.

With the Pentagon sponsoring Rep. Jim DeMint’s trip to Honduras to undermine the President, promoting a book considered anti-Obama and having leaks of important military memos addressed to the White House amazes me no longer as to why Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity et al., stay on the air waves. Is there a connection between the international television empire of Rupert Murdock and the Pentagon? I continue to wonder as I wander….
As always,
BB
