Peace & Quiet at Ferncliff Forest, Rhinebeck, NY
ABOUT THIS WEBSITE
This site is the one and only venue where I personally publish my work. It is not a “news” site. It is an archive of my work of the past three decades.
I am not a “news reporter”. I am an advocacy journalist and CIA whistleblower (out of CIA operations since 1994). What I publish is determined solely at my discretion because, for one reason or another, it is important to me.
My work is primarily focused on defending Liberty and pursuing Justice. I find my vocation to be to do all in my power to expose government crimes and corruption, to put bad guys out of business, and protect the rights of their targets and victims.
I am not a participant in the Internet culture of social media, which I have never used and never will. My work is strictly professional and I do not seek interaction with the general public, nor with readers of this site. This site is a closed system, not an interactive platform which solicits comments, discussions or questions. The material published on this site is for INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY. The readers may make of it what they will.
I hold no public office, nor am I employed by any person or organization, nor influenced by, nor beholden to such. I do not answer to any editors or supervisors, nor do I cater to any special interests or political groups. My work is strictly my own and it is not my concern what anyone thinks of it, though I certainly hold the hope that some will find it of value.
As a Christian, I answer only to God Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth.
I have nothing to sell from this site. There are no pay walls, nor are there “special” or “exclusive” offers for those who make donations. It is all free of charge, and always has been.
ABOUT MY PERSONAL CIRCUMSTANCES: THE NEED FOR DONATIONS
Like any genuine whistleblower I have ever known (or known of) the government drove me into destitution (and at one point, homelessness, in 2013), and made certain I lost almost everything I owned. If you find this hard to believe, do some research on other legitimate government whistleblowers and read or hear their testimony.
Here are the facts:
I am a disabled senior citizen, attempting (but not succeeding) to live off disability benefits of less than $12,000 a year. This may be unbelievable, but it is the truth.
My rent alone (without utilities) is more than what I receive for disability. I can't afford to move at this time, and I would not survive homelessness.
There is no other source of income I can rely on.
I have applied for every possible form of assistance available for the disabled, the elderly and the poor. Food stamps, HEAP (heating), payment plans for electric power. It is not nearly enough to cover my most basic needs. I am constantly under threat of having my power shut off, or of having my phone/Internet service shut down.
This is really, truly dire poverty, a struggle just to stay alive.
I do not receive anywhere near enough in donations from the public, not anymore, since social media has taken over the Internet. I am not a part of the interactive culture, nor a combatant in the culture wars.
I am a private person with no interest in socializing with strangers or making my personal life an open book for all and sundry to peruse. On the contrary, I am a recluse who belongs in a monastery. Peace and quiet, my fondest wish!
It seems that nowadays most people expect to get something (quid pro quo) for their money. I would hope the value the reader places on the material on this site will be sufficient.
So, for those who do find value in my reports, and who would like to support my work and this website, so that I may continue publishing material, please make a donation of any amount. All donations are greatly appreciated and gratefully received.
Thank you for your consideration and may God richly bless you and your family.
