I find that the current book genre system to be very restrictive, sure there are lots of categories, Fiction, Biography, Fantasy, etc. But in my mind there are two categories sadly missing, Rants, and Conspiracy. I think that I will go on a personal crusade to argue this case to the Library Of Congress. Gary Walters latest book Blood on The Cross is conclusive proof that I am right!
There is nothing better than a good rant, my wife is the expert, although she does tend to be somewhat fixated in her subjects with me being the usual target for messing up the kitchen, not taking out the trash, etc. Gary Walters on the other hand is much more far ranging in targets. His is a 2000 year rant. From early Christianity to one possible Armageddon that he sees in our future, all is laid bare!
Ranting and venting though are but one component of this delightful book, Gary spreads a thick layer of conspiracy theory to each subject. I am sure that there are people that would view Gary Walters as a bit of a ‘Wing nut’ but he is not. I really enjoyed his theories.
One area that he discusses at length is the assassination of John F, Kennedy. Unlike other authors (and I have read many) he does not make any wild claims but rather explores the political climate of the day and the events that might have had a bearing on the assassination.
I have read many serious dissertations about the events of that deadly day in Daley Plaza and there are very few historians that would give the Warren Commission a passing grade. It was as if their mission was to bury the truth. To make the fiction fit the facts. Kennedy’s public image was that of the young peace loving president with a charm and charisma never before seen in the White House. A beautiful wife by his side, and young children did much to bolster this public image. However, it is my view that he had a very ‘hawkish’ nature and that had created enemies in high places.
OF COURSE, THERE ARE THOSE IN POSITIONS TO FASHION OUR VIEWS OF HISTORY AND THESE PEOPLE WOULD HAVE US BELIEVE THAT KENNEDY WAS, IN FACT, MORE IMAGE THAN SUBSTANCE. THE AUTHOR BELIEVES IF THIS IS THE CASE THEN THE IMAGE SCARED THE HELL OUT OF THOSE WHO RESIDE IN THE GREY AREAS OF THE CORRIDORS OF POWER…MEN WHO WOULD NEVER FEAR ONLY AN IMAGE… Gary Walters
I like Gary Walters observations, they are well thought out, and well researched.
The author also explores some other dark areas, a favorite for many years, actually hundreds of years has been the idea of a ’shadow government’. This is actually not as outlandish as it sounds. One only has to look at the Knights Templar, and the more modern Masonic Order to find a distinct correlation between ‘real power’ and ‘elected power’.
Of course no good conspiracy book could avoid the events of 9/11. Gary launches into that with gusto! While I do not think that the events were in anyway engineered by the government, they certainly took full advantage of them. In the name of public safety, we have lost much privacy.
Maybe George Orwell had it right in his book 1984, he was just off by a couple of decades.
I liked Blood on the Cross…. a great deal. It is not a long laborious brow beating, it is a well thought out rant, and one that people need to read. You can order your copy by clicking the link above.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackGary W Walters here just wanted to thank Simon for his favorable review of the book. I look forward to the online interview which we will be participating in very soon. Creating an interest in a new book is very difficult even in this new age of information overload due to the internet explosion. For a single entry into this whirlpool to stand out it must be unique, informative, humorous, frightening, engaging, and enlightening. I believe BLOOD ON THE CROSS…fits nicely into this category. However the world is full of UNREAD material due to the fact it did not find an audience. I hope that through outlets such as Simon’s this book will find it’s audience and engage the reader into the purpose of why it was written…to get you involved on the playing field of our world and not be content to sit in the bleechers and be a spectator.
Thank you.
I have read this amazing book and would recomend any and every one to read it. I love you pops
I agree with Simon’s opinion that everyone should read this book. I also agree with the review of Blood on Cross. Having read the book intrigued by the title and curious of the content was pleasantly surprised of the efforts of the author in researching history and his perspective of the events which occurred that tragic day at Daley Plaza. How different would our world be today had Kennedy not been assassinated, we will never know. I found the book to be an honest perspective of what might have been. Corruption in the government affects us all, it is like the plague. I believe many people believe in some of the same theories Gary Walters believes, however are afraid to speak up and be vocal about it. We’ve become a complacent society, a go with the flow as not to draw attention to ourselves about the wrong doings of others out of fear of backlash, and/or retaliation. Allot of what is written in this book could quite possibly be right on the money and therefore be dangerous. from the Beatles to Elvis to Kennedy to 911 the book, although not long enough left me wanted more and although this is his personal opinion, in addition to facts, I found it most interesting and wanted more. it was one of those books you wanted to finish rather than use as restroom material. I say write part two and I would gladly purchase and read it and share with others. it touched a variety of emotions, Gary has a wit about him that keeps you engaged. I laughed, was angered and moved to tears. it was to say the least enlightening.
