THE LAST CIRCLE by Cheri Seymour Trine Day, Walterville, OR, USA, 2010 ISBN 978-I-9362960-0-2 (599pp tpb) Available: www. TrineDay.com ust over 20 years ago, investigative Jicuratis Danny Casolaro was hunting down the lead of his life when he, too, was hunted down, his death ruled a suicide. He called the cabal of spies, drug traffickers, government officials, mobsters and money launderers that he was pursuing "the Octopus", as it had tentacles everywhere. Central to his search was the so-called PROMIS software, developed by Bill Hamilton of INSLAW, which was covertly modified and sold around the world with a "back door" that allowed for secret monitoring—of foreign intelligence agencies, governments and corporations alike. The National Security Agency reportedly had a field day with this modified software. Soon after Casolaro's death, reporter Cheri Seymour began revisiting the tracks that Danny was following, and much of this book consists of material that she's written over the years. A key figure is Michael Riconosciuto, who has plenty to divulge about "The Company" (the CIA) and its shady activities. Among her revelations is that Casolaro had stumbled upon a link between a top official at the US Department of Justice and the Cali drug cartel of Colombia. In this compilation, Seymour includes copious documents (and photographs) attesting to high-level cover-ups.
