A very true life history written by a chaplain. Father Tito is the writer of his life. He’s known by many different names yet I believe Father Tito best tells who he is. If there seems to be confusion in his life’s story, that’s because I don’t believe he never really knew who he was. He had been a compassionate chaplain. He was a merciless killer. He spoke out against many, not making him the most popular man at times. Thus he had many enemies. He especially spoke against the injustices of his own government. He went after the bullies of the Belt Way who created wars for just shear profit. His jangled life began without any control over his existence. It continued such until his later years. His chief controller was his own country, the United States of America. With all the covert acts of patriotic duty he was never recognized. He was a hidden secret in his country. He had been stripped of his existence. No awards, applauses, thank you or even “up yours.” This compassionate chaplain became a hit man for his country, not totally out of patriotic loyalty, but because his parents’ lives were threatened. Therefore he completed covert missions created for him especially, since he was a genius. If you have trouble following the contents of this true story it’s because you’re walking inside the brain of a genius, a tortured child prodigy. A mind that’s forever in movement. Twisted thoughts. Reminiscent events of the past. His mind full of real information. Terror inside because of the demons of the past pop up. Demonic confusion utters or screams from his mouth. He talks incessantly, not always in any type of the average chronological brain, the order of the average man Tito’s order is scrambled, dictated to him to speak by his overactive mind. So again, be patient and you will discover a man persecuted by the realms surrounding him-----family, friends, church, country and the world.
