When I share what is in these pages with people, they shake their heads... "No It Is Not Possible..." The do not want to believe that any democratically elected government, especially not our own, could be so callous, so driven by political desires, that with malice they did bring down the re-election of one president in favor of another regime, but it is all here in these pages. It is here that we see how these people put themselves before the hostages being held in Iran. How they jeopardized not only their freedom, but delayed their release for the sake of political gain. Unconscionable behavior hidden from the public. They lied, Denied, and sanitized all of this making heroes out of villains and political gain from intolerable behavior. If this were fiction, it would be a blockbuster movie, but it is truth and as such should be news, but it remains hidden except for these pages. Read them and know the truth.

Help stop the next 9/11-style False Flag Op. -- Buy a copy, read it well, and pass it on.
Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2013Verified Purchase
Unless modern man pries himselve out of the shopping malls, away from the wide screen "reality" TV shows and corporate consumerist advertising, and forsakes the onslaught of mainstream "news" long enough to read books like this, mankind will shortly join the dinosaurs. Mrs. BH is one of those historical rarities, a high level USG insider with the courage to blow the whistle. And blow it heavily. She is on the 9/11 truth speaking tour now to promote her new excellent book, showing as so many of those books do that the USG was not incompetent, it DID 9/11.
At 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, DC, POTUS O-drone today set up his designed-to-fail Iran "solution." Barbara may have to write a book about it, to give us all the nuts & bolts (& cites) exposing this shabby sham as the mere pretext of liberal forbearance and peace attempts. It will fail because Iran wants the bomb as much as Israel did when it enriched uranium and built its bristling arsenal. Then will probably come the False Flag Op (patterned after the very successful 9/11 USG-Israeli FF Op), CNN will cover it oh-so-well, and POTUS will, dissillusioned and determined, launch the D-Day invasion of Iran. The nukes issue is only a pretext; the Iranians would hardly launch missiles against Israel because Israel is a crazy war hawk bristling with ICBM nukes of the highest caliber (from its vassal state, US) The real reasons for US & EU invading Iran will be 1. to steal the oil fields for the Fat Cats and corporations that run Bush-Obama-EU (the stolen oil never goes to the people, except at increased per gallon prices) 2. Iranian self sufficiency is growing along with its self confidence as a people, due to the blocade (economic "sanctions") The global financial elite cabal has been offering the Iranian politicians huge bribe money to induce them to puppetize themselves for them ("for the West" says the mainstream media, owned by the cabal, who call such pupetizations "reform.") The CIA, Israeli Mossad, and Brit. M-6 have been making these overtures for the cabal for years. The goal here is to "develop" Iran along "modern, Western" lines into a "free democracy." This of course will be just one more puppet regime, and the world will slide further into mono-cultural over-consumption and over-pollution (thinning of the Ozone layer, global climate change, corporate poison farming runoff killing the fresh and saltwater life, etc. etc.) Our brave (uninformed & propigandized) boys will enlist to fight the Iranian boys, to protect Amerika's/England's/Deutschlands "Freedoms," Iran will be a smoldering ruin occupied by extremely expensive mercenary thugs (increasing the GNP... "economic growth"), and another "Mission Accomplished" will continue to swell Amerikan/EU exceptionalism and pride. Jewish (and Christian) business executives will enjoy one more country to "develop" into sweatshops, child labour, abbrogation of all worker safety, health care, and environmental protection laws-- a true "free market" bonanza. And the world's one-sided nucular arsinals will continue, while the politicians seek "peace" and "disarmament," and one more of Earth's vibrant, distinct, cultures and self-sufficient (non slave, non colonial) economies will be snuffed out.
One of the most successful propaganda points has been to convince rational Westerners (do such exist?!) that "third world" countries like King Kamaya Maya's Hawaii, 1865 Am Indian tribes, 1901 Phillipines, 2013 Iran, etc. are BETTER OFF as colonies "developed" by the white man (today called "the Global Economy.") If you define happiness & fulfillment as consumption, and if you ascribe little or no value to things like culture, independence, and their necessary concommitant self-sufficiency, then you are right, we have the ruling financial elite cabal (call them the Bilderbergers, the Federal Reserve, the CFR, the One World Government, or whatever you choose, they wear several hats to confuse us), the cabal (and its minions, us) have the right and the duty to invade every "rebel" nation, and even launch into space and bring Freedom there. For there is no end to greed and no end (er, gulp!... why are the oceans rising, why is smog horrible in Peking, er... Beijing? Pass me another ₤16 mai tai there, coloured boy 5-star hotel slave... Well, here in our private compounds, villas, and bullet-proof limosines & Lear jets, we try not to worry TOO much over such, you see. The demands of business give us so little time for it! Cheerio, old boy, keep a stiff upper lip. There have always been radicals, terrorists, and nattering nabobs of negativity who try to spoil the party! ... Oh yes, Cecil, that IS an excellent jin you're drinking, lad! DO try one of those high grade party girls over there when you get a chance. Spot on! And I'm hitting you up for a million Euro, for that new Reagan-Thatcher Business School we're building in Bermuda! Got to have those native middle-level managers for our plantations and production shops, you know!"
Unless we take the time to read such books as this, to understand how completely (and willingly) we were fooled, our grandchildren will wake up in a world much more completely ruled and exploited and polluted than it is today.
Such is the New World Order Mrs. Honnegger so valiently attempts to lay bare. Buy a copy, read it well, and pass it on.
Please!

Reagan's back door deal to have Israel provide Iran tires for old Iranian owned U.S. aircraft in exchange for holding the hostages until Reagan raised his hand took and an oath. All to get elected! Not the first time this was done. Read about the LBJ peace treaty with North Vietnam in 1968!

An incredible revelation of what was arguably an act of treason by the incoming Reagan administration by having the Iranians continue to hold the embassy hostages until five minutes (literally) after Reagan's inauguration. Well written, proves that truth is stranger than fiction.

Details of this book is breath-taking, I had been looking for this book since 1987!!!
Gary Sick published a book then under a same name, confusing, I read that one too, it was
good.....but, not like Barbara's " October Surprise". It is an old information but truth always stands tall, timelessly accurate, I could not put it down. It should be a required reading in college, if one can start reading in high school, even better.
