ALL THINGS BOND

ALL THINGS BOND

Several BONDLIST’ers have props and posters at Heritage Auctions including items I’ve not seen for auction before! The timing is good as the last Heritage Signature Auction had VERY low prices for Bond lots.

An intriguing lot holds a photo shoot with women who tested (successfully and unsuccessfully) for QUANTUM OF SOLACE. For the photos, Daniel Craig didn’t tell the actresses that he would embrace them on camera; to capture their natural reactions!

Sincere thanks go to Claudio Rodrigues for his recent cruise post:

After years and years of research, Matt Sherman finally found this (disputed) location, which no one else knew about before, just like many other locations Matt takes his groups to visit, simply delighting them with a first glimpse of a hard to find location, and all due to his extensive knowledge and his hard work.

Matt always surprises his groups with gems like that, always having something in store for people who attend to his tours. I feel very proud to know him and to have been a part of the New Orleans tour he put up last year. If you have the chance, I strongly recommend looking this guy up whenever you plan to visit Bond locations in the U.S. I can hardly wait for our Bond cruise next year, I’m eager to see what Matt will have in store for us! Come with us in our Bond cruise next year, organized by Matt, you won’t regret that! And it even rhymes! Could well be a motto! LOL!

AND, for those interested in all details Bond, there is Everything I Know About Life I Learned from James Bond by John Flynn and Bob Blackwood, a light-hearted but thoroughly researched look into the world of James Bond.

For the adolescent male growing up in the 1950s and 1960s, 007 was everything that young men were not. He was sexually irresistible to women, well-dressed and well-groomed, socially astute, clever, witty, athletic, debonair, dangerous, and heroic. He drove the coolest cars, possessed the greatest gadgets, traveled to the most exotic places, made love to the most beautiful women, and had the most fun of any cinematic hero. James Bond represented everything that authors John and Bob wanted to be. And now, as they look back over the years as middle-aged adults and college professors, both realize how much Bond helped re-define their understanding of what it meant to be manly, particularly at a time in our culture when the roles of men and women were becoming so fractured and confused. This book provides witty and insightful aphorisms about everyday things, ranging from girls to food and drink, cars to clothing and style, and life lessons to fun facts about culture and civilization as reflected through the prism of James Bond, the world’s most stylish and cultured secret agent.

Available on all online booksellers worldwide.

W&B Publishing takes on the sequel to The Missing F_ctor, The Business End!

Jim Factor has been released from his obligation to Dimitri Federov…

Returning home, he and his wife, Diane, are targeted by a rival mafia organization and, for their safety, flee to Bulgaria. Now, he is caught up in a potential mafia conflict, involving the Russian Federation Security Bureau (the old KGB), the Russian Federation President, the U.S. Air Force intelligence, a former U.S. Russian specialist, and the Varna police. Factor and Federov conceive a lengthy scam to forestall any of the rival’s actions while he strives to increase the company’s business with Russian aircraft manufacturers. Sooner or later, the rival mafia mob will discover the ruse and marshal its forces against Federov, who is determined to avoid any overt aggressive retribution.

A tightrope act whose success is dependent on deception and timing.

Deep State and the Fake News

Deep State and the Fake News

You may not realize it, but it is very hard for the real truth to get out to the American public! This is what you can truly call a “stacked deck” when it come to reporting the news. Read on!

IF YOU HAD A HUNCH THE NEWS SYSTEM WAS SOMEWHAT RIGGED AND YOU COULDN’T QUITE PUT YOUR FINGER ON IT, THIS MIGHT HELP YOU SOLVE THE PUZZLE. This is what you call a “stacked deck.”

This is “THE SWAMP’ in its shining glory … too bad this is not better understood outside the ‘beltway’. When you hear the words ‘Fake News’ just remember these folks who are at the helm of these news outlets:

  • ABC News executive producer Ian Cameron is married to Susan Rice, Obama’s former National Security Adviser.
  • CBS President David Rhodes is the brother of Ben Rhodes, Obama’s Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications.
  • ABC News correspondent Claire Shipman is married to former Obama White House Press Secretary Jay Carney.
  • ABC News and Univision reporter Matthew Jaffe is married to Katie Hogan, Obama’s former Deputy Press Secretary.
  • ABC President Ben Sherwood is the brother of Obama’s former Special Adviser Elizabeth Sherwood.
  • CNN President Virginia Moseley is married to former Hillary Clinton’s Deputy Secretary Tom Nides.

And just for some additional scary info about the “deepness” of the Deep State, be aware that:

  • California Governor GAVIN NEWSOME — who you may remember is making some crazy decisions about California’s direction — is Nancy Pelosi’s nephew.
  • Adam Shiff’s sister is married to – George Soros’ son.
  • John Kerry’s daughter is married to – A “MULLAH’S son in Iran.

All of this is huge information and is JUST a “partial’ list since the same incestuous relationship holds true for NBC/MSNBC and most media outlets. Trump has been right all along. Fake News is generated by this incestuous relationship. Is it any surprise that almost all the new reporting you hear about Trump is negative? These people are panic stricken that Trump may succeed at “draining the swamp” and destroy their cozy little “Deep State” arrangement. These people DO NOT have the best interests of America at heart – they care only about perpetrating their own special lives! Are these the people you would like to have running our country?? Ya think there might be a little bias in the news?….. Ya Think? Be scared folks – our country is in grave danger!
