Probing one of most organized and complex criminal enterprises in the United States, this report exposes the dynamics of the Octopus, a globe-trotting undercover intelligence operative. Based on 18 years of investigative research, this account reveals high-level, covert government operations and the elaborate corporate structures and the theft of high-tech software (PROMIS) used as smoke-and-mirror covers for narcotics trafficking, money laundering, arms sales, and espionage. The Octopus connections to a maze of politicians and officials in the National Security Council, the CIA, the FBI, and the U.S. Department of Justice are revealed. A detailed look into the recent high-profile arrest of Mafia hit-man Jimmy Hughes is also included in this intriguing analysis.

Not very often does a story come to light that totally rips through the veil of corruption and secrecy of the ruling elite in this world, as does 'The Last Circle'. That this story Cheri Seymour reveals is little known or talked about is telling, and displays the mendacious character of 'official' discourse in this country, and what the 'unwashed masses' are allowed to know. The obscure nature of this story is rather stunning, given the iron-clad factual documentation Cheri gives, step-by-step, chapter-by-chapter. As I was reading, I was aghast at the shocking (and arrogant) criminality on the part of government officials that everyday people in this country believe are protecting us. Cheri Seymour definitely proves this is a lie. Cynically, 'National Security' is invoked by those in power to give a cover for state crime, and 'The Last Circle' is a chronicle of a litany of god-awful crimes committed under the cover of so-called national interests. You will not believe the colossal crimes; Cheri's story is replete with all kinds of murders and other suspicious deaths, and the collusion of government with drug traffickers and other sordid characters, in an on-going criminal enterprise.
Even though this story comprises of events beginning in the 1980's, I am of the firm opinion that it continues into the present day, a fact that Cheri also shares. This type of corruption, unchecked and unheeded, only evolves into a bigger monstrosity. The specter this book raises is truly frightening.
I strongly recommend this book to everyone I know and those I don't; this is hard-hitting stuff.... Read more ›

The final long awaited and now published book by CHERI SEYMOUR - "THE LAST CIRCLE" completes two decades of her investigations into "The Octopus" and the PROMIS Software scandal, aka "The Inslaw Affair." And the misuse of power by government agencies to expose the tentacles of "The Octopus" controlled by a "Shadow Government" that operates beyond the reaches of law enforcement - WORLDWIDE! Her investigations have sought answers to questions dealing with our intelligence agencies (DOJ, CIA, FBI, NSA, U.S. CUSTOMS, and others) trusted professionals involved in stealing commercial properties of U.S. citizens, dealing in and the transportation of drugs for profit and power, and the potential biological weapons development. Arms sales and clandestine operations that will make the reader sit up and take notice - and question?? The trail of the deceased now exceeds 50 people, individuals, wives and families, who have been accidented, suscided, or murdered, to cover-up the criminality that's become a cancer on America's political system. Cheri completes the work of investigative reporter Danny Casolaro, who lost his life in pursuit of answers when he became entangled in the tentacles seeking answers two decade ago. Cheri enters the labyrinth of "The Octopus" undeterred by the danger in pursuit of those answers. She has performed the most courageous act in hopes that America will wake-up, inform themselves, and spread the word, and demand honest government! THE LAST CIRCLE is the last word in exposing "The Octopus" with its tentacles reaching into every corner of our hollowed institutions that will, if not, exposed continue to erode and destroy the foundations America was founded on. If, you read no other book this year, The Last Circle is A MUST READ!!!

This book relentlessly tracks one of the most fascinating true crime stories of the past thirty years. The characters are hauntingly elusive, the story nearly unbelievable, the reality it potrays truly disturbing. Highly recommended.

Cheri Seymour has done 18 years of great research here in looking at the murder of DANNY CASOLARO! It reads like a JAMES BOND novel but this is all true and shows us the corruption that goes on behind us and right in front of us as well. It's amazing to me how the powers that be want us to think anyone seeking the truth (WHISTLE BLOWER) has also the desire to kill him or herself. Stunning how that works folks. She takes us on a journey of the 80's and 90's and how DANNY'S murder was a result of him finding out too much too soon about PROMIS SOFTWARE and the tangled weave of corruption around it. (laundering money and weapons and drugs illegally ) IRAN CONTRA ANYONE? Anyway I highly recommend the book as it is another part of our American history I am not proud of sadly to say. GREAT WORK CHERI! RIP DANNY CASOLARO!

The Last Circle is not a book of conspiracy theories, it's an expose of intertwined conspiracy TRUTHS! I'm presently a 1/4 through my re-read of the Last Circle. I can only hope that this publication will have an influence on the public figures that can assist in bringing these nefarious and evil individuals to justice, for Rachel Begley, Danny Casolaro, and for the sake of the many other victims of the Octopus. Thank you Cheri for your long, risky journey in exposing these institutionalized crimes.

Cheri Seymour is nothing less than an American hero, undoubtedly risking her life to finish the in depth investigation of the PROMIS software scandal and the "Octopus" that Danny Casolaro gave his life to expose. I just finished reading The Last Circle and literally I could not put it down.
This gripping tale of international crime, drugs, dirty money, guns, spys, hired assasins, and US government corruption that stretches all the way to the White House and beyond is a fascinating web of intrigue - all the more because it is true.
The evidence Cheri presents is undeniable, including an appendix of photocopied documents from the tens of thousands of pages of paper trail she painstakingly researched over 2 decades.
Every American deserves to know this truth, if for no other reason to honor the lives lost and destroyed in the wake of this overwhelming evil that undoubtedly continues today right under the noses of We the People.
As an aside, don't miss the story of Cheri's viewing of the uncut version of the Zapruder film starting on page 179 - to quote Robert Booth Nichols who showed it to her - "the CIA can cover up anything it wants, even a president's murder...Nothing is as it appears to be".
If you read this Cheri, you did Danny proud. You've truly honored his work and ultimate sacrifice as well as that of all the other victims of the Octopus. From the bottom of my truth-seeking heart - thank you, thank you, thank you.

Ms. Seymour's source documents are extremely important and she seems honorable but the publisher should have paid for a professional editor as the book is difficult to follow.
