You're nobody 'til somebody brainwashes you.......2007-10-14
Sue Ford ('alias' Brice Taylor, as she helpfully reveals) comes out of the mind-control closet with the mother-of-all exposes, Thanks for the Memories. Conspiracy buffs have long known about the CIA's brainwashing programs (MK-ULTRA et al.), but only Sue Taylor Brice Ford has the guts to name names. And when I say names, I mean names, and plenty of them. Here is a PARTIAL list of high-profile evildoers who have sexually exploited Sue Brice Taylor Ford. Ready? Henry Kissinger, Alan Greenspan, Ronald Reagan, George HW Bush, Gerald Ford (no relation), "Uncle" Frank Sinatra, James Taylor, Prince Charles, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton (there goes 2008!), Sylvester Stallone, Ed McMahon, Johnny Carson, Neil Diamond, Sammy Davis Jr., Dean Martin, Bob Hope, and, it goes without saying, Don Ho. Busy beaver, eh? The mind-control sex-slavery game has finally met its Zelig, and her name is Taylor Sue Brice Ford!
Skeptical? Wait until you read the incredibly detailed accounts of her encounters with these various rogues. Now, granted, we have to expect some sketchy recollections from a woman who was brainwashed by the likes of Mister Kissinger. It happens. But some of the dialogue relayed by B.T.S. Ford sounds particularly weird, even for this burgeoning genre. Tommy Lasorda dictating which players will do well on a given night? ("Steve, you're gonna hit a home run. Ron, you're gonna bunt, because you're a runt.") Then there's James Taylor proclaiming that his mid-concert assignation with T.B.S. Ford will help him "perform the second half with gusto!" (He's a football player now?) Last but not least, we have the notion of Sly Stallone fondly reminiscing about "dolphin porn" (natch) and concluding an evening of child abuse with the timeless line "Y'all get back now, ya hear!" On second thought, that actually rings true. My bad.
But wait, there's more! Not only do we get blow-by-blow accounts of Suebrice's hookups with her tormentors (Hot Reagan Action!), we also learn of other high-profile victims! Victims like Barbara Streisand (explains the stage fright), Elvis Presley (explains the film career), and the L.A. Dodgers (explains the postseason flops). The book came out in the 90s, so we're left to wonder which of today's struggling celebrities are in on the mind-control racket, be they exploiters or exploitees. We need a revised edition pronto, Ms. Ford. Get Kissinger on the phone and find out the post-hypnotic trigger for "Sequel."
Thanks For the Memories--Thank God for the Truth.......2007-08-20
For years, I worked as a therapist in many mental health wards of hospitals in California. I had a difficult time understanding many of the patients and their trauma because I had to adhere to the protocols and teachings set forth by the psychiatric/psychological standards. However, when I read Brice's book, "Thank God for the Memories", I began to understand my patients and their trauma. This book tells it "like it is". We need more people like Brice Taylor who are not afraid to tell the truth and who have the courage to inform the rest of the world about their experiences. Thank God for the truth...... This book tells it all!!
Very interesting.......2007-07-12
The people who dismiss this book and thus the premise it's based on with only one star may very well be intellectually dishonest, conceptual "flat earthers" who are completely ignorant of (1) modern-day techniques which have been well developed to deliberately create dissociative personalities, and (2) the willigness of certain people to actually engage in this kind of highly sophisticated cruelty and psychological terror.
This is not to say that one should go to the opposite extreme and accept at face value every one of Brice Taylor/Susan Ford's claims. Many of them are quite outrageous and completely without any sort of documentation and, understandably for many people, this combination is a fatal flaw which makes the whole story seem worthy of nothing more than summary dismissal. On the other hand, the very nature of ritualized psychological torture a.k.a. "mind control" makes documentation or "proof" of the details experienced by individual victims essentially impossible to obtain. Nevertheless there is excellent and very solid documentation for mind control practices scattered about in written literature, all of which can be obtained without reading anything in the genre of "sensational conspiracy theories". Although the book clearly falls into this category, it is still well worth reading in the context of the more substantial documentation that we know exists regarding mind control practices.
One interesting thing I discovered as a result of reading this book: There was a biography written by Arthur Marx called "The Secret Life of Bob Hope" which describes the man in rather unflattering terms that are completely at odds with public perception. In a nutshell, the book says that Bob Hope's sleazy character traits were very well known within Hollywood inner circles but that this knowledge never made it past the PR front men. Of course this doesn't prove anything that Brice Taylor/Susan Ford has claimed, but if you believe her, it certainly makes it easier to "connect the dots".
The Secret Life of Bob Hope/an Unauthorized Biography
An Interesting But Utterly Implausible Story.......2006-05-05
Brice Taylor's story is not unusual in the context of its subject (mind-control experiments and their human survivors). What makes it unusual is the specific set of claims she makes and the complete lack of records that would have to exist for even a fraction of them to be true. As an example, she claims to have attended many high-level political meetings at the side of Henry Kissinger, among others, meetings for which photo documentation often exists and in which Brice does not appear.
If there were only one such claim, it might be plausible, but the sheer number of her claims make this highly unlikely. Without revealing details of her story, it is safe to say that the chances of this being any meaningful biography are extraordinarily slim. Over and over again the author claims to have been spirited away by government agents for nefarious purposes via helicopter, to have had private and personal relations with virtually every well-known political figure of the last 30 years even while in grade school, and to have lived most of her life brainwashed to not remember any of it. In fact, she relates two accidents as the triggers which caused her to regain her repressed memories. What is more likely, from both a scientific and logical perspective, is that the accidents induced such memories. Even the author admits in the disclaimer that some or all of her narrative may well be untrue!
In fact, certain things the author mentions in the book as being triggers sent out to her specifically to invoke her programming are things like the names of streets she drove past on her way home or to work. Popular songs, movies, and such things also, according to her, were set up to contain triggers meant for her specifically.
All these things, when taken with her other claims, point less to the idea of the aftereffects of mind control experimentation and more to something like schizophrenia. Linking and finding meaning between two unrelated bits of data, as the author does more than once, is one of the important indicators of schizophrenia, particular paranoid schizophrenia.
This story is indeed the tragic autobiography of a vicitm, but not of mind control. Rather, it seems to be the story of the ravages of mental illness and how some forms can leave a person apparently functional in many ways, but revealed by a penetrating analysis.
None of this is to say I did not enjoy the book. Indeed, I did. However, it is better as an insight into the mind of a schizophrenic than that of a mind-control survivor. Unless appropriate documentation can be produced in support of her story, the author's treatise is best not to be relied on as a serious resource for investigators.
Susan Ford's False Memory Scam.......2006-02-04
Brice Taylor's actual name is Sue Ford, a Beverly Hills debutant, and victim of incest and perhaps Multiple Personality Disorder, now named Dissociative Identity Disorder in DSM-IV. Ford got her degree in psychology before she "recovered" her memories, and perhaps was falsely influenced by reading other people's life stories. According to Cathy O'Brien and Mark Phillips, in their 2004 book "Access Denied for Reasons of National Security", Ford stole the fictionalized novel from her "ex-roommate" and its ghost writer, Rod Robinson (also a victim of incest and perhaps DID/MPD. Robinson told O'Brien, "I am an author writing a FICTIONAL book on mind control that incorporates much of the information Sue was able to obtain THROUGH HER THERAPIST," (NOT from Sue herself). This book was never about Sue Ford, aka "Brice Taylor". It is more based on the life of Cathy O'Brien, who collaborated on the facts of her deprogramming for which Robinson's novel is loosely based. Ford paid Phillips $500/month rent in return for living with him and O'Brien and Phillip's brain-damaged mother, but Ford claims to have paid Phillips $75,000. After reading Ford's so-called notes of her memories, Phillips wrote, "she either is deliberately perpetrating fraud or is indeed the victim of false memories from her therapists." O'Brien's daughter is also named Kelly, who was kidnapped into a Satanic cult run by the state of Tennessee, and a Nazi electroshock hospital run by Vanderbilt University, and scheduled for a court-ordered "exorcism by Satanists" (oxymoron). "Laws do not apply for reasons of national security", according to Judge Andrew Shookhoff, ignoring the Tennessee legislature's new law in O'Brien's daughter's name. When Robinson said he was almost finished writing his novel, Ford replied, "Since my experience was only incest, I guess I have nothing to contribute.... I want my name on the cover." Robinson replied, "If you'll do the legwork on getting the book printed and pay half the printing cost, you can add your name to the cover." "Really? My name can be on the cover of STARSHINE?", she asked. Robinson replied, "Right after mine. You've got the manuscript right there. When you solidify the deal the deal to have it printed, I'll wire you half the money." O'Brien asked her why she wanted to use an alias on the book, wondering why a person with DID would want a new identity. "For legal reasons," Ford replied. "It never occurred to me, Mark or Rod that Sue would eventually remove Rod's name from his book entirely, ironically change the title to "Thanks for the Memories", and keep all the sales profits," O'Brien wrote. "She plans to release Rod's fiction book as her reality, so she can use mind control as a defense to any crime. We asked her to leave immediately." So "Brice Taylor's" book is useful, at least for general background on CIA' MKULTRA, and background on O'Brien's first book, "Trance Formation of America". producer@PirateNews.org

What is it you say most?.......2007-05-17
Since life is just an illusion to reflect back at ourselves, I am glad to have the chance to ponder what Bob Marley thought and spoke most of. I agree with a lot of them, but not all. This is definately a book of "less is more". Makes me want to write "me own". Maybe he knows his name now, "51" or if he comes again "56" will we know him? "55" He's the rainbow too.
56 Thoughts from 56 Hope Road.......2005-07-20
Some are lyrics....which are good, but would have liked to see more quotes.
Pretty Good Stuff.......2005-06-29
Personally, I enjoyed this booklet. It contains some very thought-provoking quotes from the don gargon, Bob Marley. What a way to capture these thoughts, Cedella and Gerald! Nice work entirely.
The Prophet Among Us.......2004-12-07
After the 60s, the movement for a better world faded into the 70s, and dissappeared entirely in the 80s. At least in the USA. God and his disciples were still alive and well in Jamaica. Instead of fishermen, they were musicians. When you listen deeply, you'll hear the message clearly. Bob Marley carried the truth for our times. That torch still burns in his music and the writing that came afterward. Read 56 Thoughts. It will touch you, move you, and enlighten you. 56 Thoughts is a book you will never put down. It will go with you every where because it is pure soul from a philosopher who knew what he was talking about.
True Bob.......2004-12-03
This book by Cedella Marley sets the record straight in one-line and short off-the-cuff wisps of light and dark, humorous and serious wisdom that Bob Marley was famous for. I read it once a day, twice a day, three times a day, as Doctor Jamaica recommends.

Public Persona vs. the Genuine Article.......2007-07-12
The people who panned this book *clearly* have their shorts in a wad (that's a colloquial phrase for "cognitive dissonance") over having their shiny perceptual "Bob Hope" bubbles painfully burst after discovering the rather unsavory truth. Too bad, that's what you get for putting somebody up on a pedestal. Especially somebody who doesn't deserve it. I give the book five stars because it soundly draws a clear distinction between Bob Hope's carefully crafted public persona and what he was REALLY like, "behind the scenes"... a mean-spirited, self-aggrandizing, womanizing opportunist! In other words, he was a first-class spoiled brat and a major league hypocrite. This book would be a lot less interesting if the dichotomy that is Bob Hope wasn't a fact of life, and admittedly, it will not be very interesting to the people who don't remember him. But for those of us that do, it is an excellent biography. Pretty soon we'll all be dead too, but at least we'll kick off knowing the value of "belief" in terms of accepting uncritically and without question whatever is tossed one's way by the public relations machinery.... an object lesson which translates neatly not just for the entertainment business, but for media and government as well.
BOB SAIDS THANKS FOR THE MAMMARY'S !.......2006-12-27
Well -as you'll note from other reviews, how dare Arthur Marx pick on a great American legend! A man that has entertained us for most of the 20th century. A man that has risked his life to bring comfort to the troops of America's numerous wars and conflicts. A man that just couldn't make enough money or women! It was always known in Hollywood and in the Pentagon, what a flagrant womanizer Bob Hope was -in fact just about to the very end of his life. His wife knew it and with the patience of a saint, she stuck by him through countless affairs and one-nighters, both here and overseas. Thats the way it was. The man who always managed to have an ad-lib ready for any occassion -they were all carefully scripted in advance. Again, thats the way it was. No one likes to hear such stories about their heroes and role models, afterall it kind of makes suckers out of us if we go along and believe something like this book. We figure if Bob was that bad, we would have heard about it long ago. Thats where all those great PR people come in and Bob had the best. Worshiped by the public, the servicemen and all those American presidents from both parties. So who wants to make suckers out of all them, it's worse than burning the flag and then spitting on it. Yes, his image was greater than anyone on Mount Rushmore. What's more, Bob Hope knew it, flaunted it and fully exploited it -all the way to the bank. He became the single biggest private owner of real estate in California. Whereas Jack Benny always traded off his showbiz image of being tight with money, in reality he was the total opposite. However, Bob the benevolent was as tight as they come, extremely shrewd and always politically savvy. Not that all thats a crime, but was he really worthy of becoming the most decorated American in history?
Arthur Marx, son of Groucho, a veteran TV writer, playwright, novelist and biographer, took on an impossible and thankless task of showing Bob Hope in the true cold light of reality. But he strongly felt it was something he had to do. Theres no doubt that Bob Hope was extremely talented, his timing was always spot on. Theres no doubt he was the best MC you could ever get, specially at the Academy Awards. Why is it then, that we can take the good and bad when it comes to someone like Frank Sinatra, but not in super-patriot Bob?
And thats what this book is all about really. It's worthy of your making up your own mind and not blindly believing in all the PR hype. Politicians court showbiz because they crave that same insatiable fan worship. Superstar's today don't seem to mind if you think of them badly or not, as long as their name stays in the headlines and the money keeps coming in. But thats right, Bob was of another era.
Just 'Cause It's in Print Doesn't Mean It's True!.......2006-08-19
I think it is amazing how quickly people attempt to destroy a great American hero's reputation as soon as it's safe to do so. How credible can Mr. Marx's accusations be when most of his sources are unnamed or too old or already deceased to confirm his claims? Surely some of these women would have come forward a long time ago with a "Hope's love child" story. I don't buy it Mr. Marx. If I could, I would give a less than one star.
Thoughts on a Great Man by a Pathetic Loser.......2005-11-29
Oh, for gosh sakes. Arthur Marx is a complete loser who managed to squeak out a living as a comedy writer only by working his father's connections. Groucho thought Arthur was a lousy comedy writer, and this book proves he's a lousy human being, as well. Hope was one of Arthur Marx's employers, and it was Hope that turned his father's career around by insisting that he work off the script when he invited Groucho to come on the air with him. Little did he imagine at the time that the thanks he would get for his benevolence to Groucho (a benevolence he displayed throughout his career) would be a knife in the back from his pathetic lowlife son. The book is a collection of snide, filthy, innuendos from unnamed sources, former employees, and the sort of enemies that competent, hard-working, brilliant individuals like Hope always make within their own industries.
Don't Read This If Your A Big Bob Hope Fan!.......2002-06-07
All I have to say is, if your a big fan of Bob Hope and believe that Mr. America- loyal, faithful husband and family man then don't read this you will look at him differently or probably won't be able to look at him at all. All I can say is I'm not surprised, what man don't sleep around? What disappoints me is that how easy the women went to bed with him, it takes two to tangle, and obviously these women wanted to do it. So I don't necessarily blaim Bob Hope, if their willing to give it up, any man is going to take it. All I have to say is and I've been saying it for years, Write books like this, when their alive and around to defend themselves. This book will break anybody's heart who's a big Bob Hope fan and believed he was Mr. America- faithful husband and family man. All I have to say is if he was this bad, it would of came out, all the wrongdoing came out about the rest of the stars of the past and present, I'm sure someone would of tried to tarnish his career like what happen to Bill Clinton, I'm sure some woman would of came forward and said something. I don't know what to believe, I wish somebody would let Bob Hope and his family read this book and get their say. Some things are just left best unsaid, and let people and fans believe the illusion and image the stars create.

Product Description
Kathryn Crosby's memoir of her last days with Bing...
Book Description
We want to have it all: financial strength, secure homes, clean air and water for our children. With the latest technological advances available, we deserve to have every dilemma resolved. Isn’t that the way it’s supposed to work? Hope in Troubled Times dares to say “no.” Poverty, terrorism, and overtaxed land are planetary problems that make even believers despair. But the authors point to Christ as the source of hope. Our choice is obvious. We work together, learning to live unselfishly, or we watch civilization sink further into the abyss. With a foreword by renowned human rights activist Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Hope in Troubled Times provides real-world solutions to life-threatening problems. The authors show that with God’s guidance we can knock down the idols that stunt clear thinking.
Book Description
As one of the oldest and most beloved sports of all time, golf has been parodied, satirized, and spoofed more than any other sport. It has been particularly popular within the world of cartoons and comic strips-from Beetle Bailey to B.C. to Peanuts, the sport of golf appears in thousands of Sunday funnies around the world. Golf in the Comic Strips features a collection of some of the foremost cartoonists as they capture the putts, drives, holes in one, bogeys, and birdies that illustrate the mysterious and rewarding allure of golf. From his collection of more than 4,000 cartoons and comic strips on golf, Howard Ziehm shares over 200 full-color, rare, and historic comic strips from more than 100 artists, including Clare Briggs (A Piker's Clerk), Sidney Smith (The Gumps), Charles Schulz (Peanuts), Johnny Hart (B.C.), and Mort Walker (Beetle Bailey). Howard Ziehm shares insightful comments about the artists, the historical period of each strip, stylistic innovations and milestones, and artist-related information that offer a sense of what golf and the world was like in each era. Golf in the Comic Strips is an essential addition to the libraries of all golf lovers and cartoon fans. Howard Ziehm is the writer and creator of a self-help, vocabulary-expansion series, including Wordbank (Simon and Schuster), and Wordbuilders (Bantam Dell). Currently, this nine handicapper operates several entertainment ventures, including Golftoons, a golf entertainment company, and resides in Malibu, California.
Customer Reviews:
Suggest buying earlier edition.......2005-03-03
I suggest you buy an earlier edition as the image quality of the reprints, particularly the very old strips, are much better.
This edition contains no new infomation or comic strips.
The earlier editons can be bought used at Amazon.com
Never the less, both editions are excellent with regard to the strips shown and the commentary involved in both describing the strips and the game of golf.
They range from familar to unfamilar comics from the 1890's to present.
A book both tailored to comic strip fans and golfers.
I personally learned a good deal of history about golf and those who play it by reading such strips

Book Description
Reporter: "What's it like to be Bob Hope?"
Hope: "I wouldn't have it any other way."
From Bob Hope's early career as an upstart among professionals like Jack Benny and Milton Berle in the rollicking world of traveling comedians, to his blazing success as a radio, television, and film star, this completely revised and updated version of William Faith's acclaimed biography takes a straightforward, appreciative, and very funny look at Hope's life and times on the occasion of his 100th birthday. Filled with anecdotes, photographs, and plenty of jokes, the book reveals the real Bob Hope from his boyhood in England and youth in Cleveland to his present status as a living legend--a full-blooded, authentic appraisal of the man and his humor, a comic institution who is also a brilliant businessman, manipulator of the media, and politically influential figure. And of course Hope is the man who brought laughter and cheer (and long-legged beauties) to GIs throughout the world. At a time when patriotic fervor has never been running higher it's worth recalling the singular tribute paid Hope by none other than John Steinbeck: "When the time for recognition of service to the nation in wartime comes to be considered, Bob Hope should be high on the list.... He gets laughter wherever he goes from men who need laughter." Happy 100th, Bob!

disappointed.......2007-10-18
I have to say when I read this I was very disappointed in it. It was such a slow read and the author had trouble holding my attention. A very very dull read. Not really anything new that we didn't already know about Bob Hope from Bob Hope all these years. I expected more from the author. Don't waste your time or money I'm sorry to say.
