Great Resource but...

whenever I share this book with people or even suggest the possibility that the American Government has/is doing this, people look at me as if I have two heads. I have a signed copy from Mr. Blum and whenever I do allow people to read it, I always get the same response - how can this happen and no one know about it?
They are also astonished at the 60 pages of references. People will say," with all these references how does the public not know about this?" 
I then give them a DVD of the National Film Board of Canada 1996 documentary entitled," Manufacturing Consent". Next time I see them they are so unsure of whats real and whats not it's over whelming for them(as it was for me). Great resource but the subject matter and proof is sometimes over whelming. See through the lies and deceit takes effort and time.
