How it Ends in Ukraine--and Why
Introduction.
George Carlin famously observed of our rulers (“owners,” as he called them), “They don’t give a fuck about you. They don’t give a fuck about you. They don’t care about you. At all. At all. At all.”

“Most people are like sheep. Nice, harmless creatures who want nothing more than to be left alone so they can graze. But then of course there are wolves. Who want nothing more than to eat the sheep.
But there’s a third kind of person. The sheepdog. Sheepdogs have fangs like wolves. But their instinct isn’t predation. It’s protection. All they want, what they live for, is to protect the flock.”

Thanks for befriending this fellow crime writer on Goodreads!
Hi Barry, like the John Rain novels/character, who did you base him on and who would play him in a film. I've read about three Rain novels but get confused by the title changes.Thanks for accepting me as a friend.
Hi BarryNice to catch up with you here. The Michael Hastings book sounds very interesting. I'll have to seek that one out. How's life treating you?
Barry: We have launched a new book marketing Website at www.venturegalleries.com and would love for you to write a guest blog on the site. This week, we are publishing our first guest blog from Melissa Foster. Please check out the site, and if can write one for us, please let me know at cjp3@suddenlink.net. Thank you for your consideration.
I look forward to reading your books-
Geri
