Publishers Foreword

Five to one, baby
One in five
No one here gets out alive.

Jim Morrison

Double, double toil and trouble
Fire burn, and cauldron bubble.

Macbeth Act 4, scene 1

Hollywood is a place where theyll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and fifty cents for your soul. I know, because I turned down the first offer often enough and held out for the fifty cents.

Marilyn Monroe

W ow, who doesnt like the movies? Possibly the folks picking up the popcorn off the sticky floors, but then again, they may get free admission. Movies are much more than entertainment, they are a worldwide cultural phenomenon. They can be beautiful, wonderful, horrific, shocking, entrancing mesmerizing. Movies change people lives. Movies rule peoples lives. They tell us how to live. They teach our children. They sell us wars. Their influence is overwhelming.

And, what can I say, I love movies. As a member of the first television generation I grew up with them. Movies have helped form my worldview, and still do. I minored in Drama at college and wrote plays. Turner Classic Movies is often the background noise in my office. I enjoy the narratives, the music its comfort food. But, sadly, time has shown me that there is more to the cinema than meets the eye.

TrineDay has worked several times with Hollywood. There are many of our books that could and should be movies. But at the end of the day Hollywood is about control and psychological warfare not entertainment.

In 2008, I am sitting with author, Daniel Estulin and others, at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills eating a $20 salad, he had much earlier signed a contract for a film based on his international best-seller, The True Story of the Bilderberg Group with the company that owned the Terminator franchise. I mentioned to the gentlemen, You know, you may run into some political problems with this book. They said, Dont worry, once the movie and video game comes out, we will have enough money in our bucket that it wont matter. Well, they made the announcement in May, 2009, but about two months later the company filled for bankruptcy protection and the Bilderberg movie was scrapped.

Next, there was very strong interest in H.P. Albarellis A Terrible Mistake and Nick Bryants Franklin Scandal . The interested company had financing, production and distribution, everything that you need to make films. Meetings were held, significant partners were brought in, Academy award-winning directors became involved. Then the fun started: people walked in off the street and said you cant make those movies; their offices were broken into; their bank account was sequestered; they received voice-disguised phone calls; they got followed; rumors were floated, trying to get people fired. The company persisted. Finally, a senior vice-presidents wife was met on the street and told: If your husband doesnt stop what he is doing, we are going to kill him and you. What are you children going to do?

I received a phonecall from the vice-president: I have to take a sabbatical. Two weeks later he calls back, Well, I guess we are just making Will Farrell movies. And that was that.

There have been other attempts to film different books, but, sadly, all have been unsuccessful at completing the journey.

What does this tell me? That my ex-CIA agent father might well have been correct when he told me there were secret societies playing games with us.
