In 1986, having been exposed and cloistered in a halfway house, and threatening to spill the beans on covert operations and mob connections that ran right up to the Vice President, he was assassinated. But how did he get where he got? Well, it's a long, very murky story, one that TV EP Daniel Hopsicker was warned off investigating for a documentary to be broadcast on NBC stations. But knowing this to be a story that had to be told, Hopsicker turned his research into a book, and a mind-blowing read it is'. In Barry & 'The Boys, Hopsicker reveals Barry Seal's. notorious career, which started in 1955 as a 16-year-old when he attended a two-week Civil Air Patrol camp run by pedophile CIA agent David Ferrie, and where he met fellow cadet Lee Harvey Oswald-both famous names in the JFK assassination eight years later. At 17, Seal was already running drugs for the CIA and owned two planes. His piloting skills, combined with his black ops connections, had him delivering guns to Castro in the late 1950s, participating in the Bay of Pigs fiasco, taking a mystery plane out of Dallas the day JFK was shot, making his mark in events around the Watergate break-in, as well as being party to the Mena drug-smuggling scandal and Iran-Contra fraud. Seal was an integral part of the recent secret history of the USA. The FBI thought so, too, for its agents removed files in Seal's car at the crime scene, just after his murder. As for who gave the order, Hopsicker leaves us in no doubt as to who did. ----- Aloha, He'Ping, Om, Shalom, Salaam. Em Hotep, Peace Be, All My Relations. Omnia Bona Bonis, Adieu, Adios, Aloha. Amen.
