Geoff Gilson on TrineDay’s THE JOURNEY (MAGGIE’S HAMMER – Investigating the Death of a Friend Uncovers Illegal Arms Deals and Britain’s Role as America’s Hired Gun)
Geoff Gilson, former British Conservative Party activist, who spoke at two national conventions and helped write speeches for Margaret Thatcher and, in the U.S., Governor Michael Dukakis, investigated his friend’s mysterious death and found he had been in British Intelligence, involved in tens of billions of dollars of illegal arms sales on behalf of Prime Minister Thatcher – a true story of high-level corruption and Britain acting as military and intelligence surrogate for America since World War II. He discusses his book (Maggie’s Hammer: How Investigating the Mysterious Death of My Friend Uncovered a Netherworld of Illegal Arms Deals, Political Slush Funds, High-Level Corruption and Britain’s Thirty-Year Secret Role as America’s Hired Gun) with publisher Kris Millegan. Geoff says, “The political divide in America is our biggest problem. Working people are scared because they don’t control any aspect of their lives.”
