corruption
A prime locale to talk bribery, suspect campaign funding, and all other instances of political corruption. The shadier, the better.
Make America Think Again
On any given day in my professional role, I receive complaints against licensed practitioners. In some cases, the individual calling might be considered a whistle-blower since they are also calling about the facility. Regardless, we give every complaint due process. Before launching a full investigation, which includes issuing a subpoena, the complainant is questioned regarding their knowledge of the events. It may go in several ways.

The Great Money Spigot
While the main stream media is so concerned with Trump and the pending impeachment process, the Fed meanwhile continues to funnel money to Wall Street to the tune of $690 billion a week. Either the media is in collusion with the Fed to keep this information from reaching the general public or they are too preoccupied with Trump, international affairs, and, then again, they could very well be just too blind to see what is actually happening to the economy.

Labor of Lewandowski
Tuesday, September 17, 2019 Vol. 1, 1.2. Today's little televised, 'political scene" was rather appalling to watch, as Congressional hearings go. It tells us just how far we have fallen as a Democracy, when one branch of the Federal Government openly believes it can run roughshod over a co-Equal branch of The Federal Government, to protect a lawless President. The whole affair was a bit surreal, and somewhat embarrassing for House Democrats, and emboldening to Republicans... right up until the last 30 minutes or so of the hearing, when the tables were turned. Today we had a former, high ranking Trump staffer, who, more than likely, has some very damning information about this President that America needs to hear about, yet is known for thumbing his nose at the rule of law and The Constitution, get up before cameras and "clam up" to protect his Trump. Lewandowski was breaking the law by refusing to answer questions posed to him, under oath, as required by subpoena. Here, Lewandowski is seen rudely asserting some bastardized form of Executive Privilege, which he clearly doesn't have to assert. He admits Trump has requested that he not speak on any matters which fall outside of the four corners of The Mueller Report. But he wouldn't answer questions about information and situations described in Muller's Report, much less anything else.

The Grand Betrayal
The Grand betrayal. Democracy betrayed All around the world the word democracy is being deliberately devalued. The expectations that people have when promised a democratic government, is being undermined. People are losing trust in democracy, and this is no accident. From Venezuela to China, from Russia to Britain, the people are told they vote in a democracy.

I Remember
I will never forget where I was when 911 happened. I was just waking up. I was in my room. I turned on the TV. I was watching NBC News. Katie Couric was reporting on what was happening in New York. I saw the first tower burning. I was confused. I thought it must be some scene of the latest action flick. Then, I saw the second plane hit the second tower. That was when I knew it was real. It felt like we were being attacked. It felt like war.

Republican vs Democrat Indictments
As news emerges that two indicted Democrats are being allowed back into congress this January, the integrity of American politics is once again called into question. Duncan Hunter, a Democrat rep, was accused of illegally using campaign funds for his own personal expenses, whilst Chris Collins provided confidential information on a pharmaceutical company to his son before a stock exchange. However, despite these indictments, the party did not consider the offenses serious enough to make them leave congress. So what does this say about the state of US politics? Is corruption becoming an accepted norm in The White House? To fight against this, it is more important than ever to promote transparency around the 2020 election.

Epstein & Junkermann: September 1, 2002 - The Secret Senators and the Wexner War on Iraq
While all the very talented people on the independent news scene were uncovering new information about the glamourous Nicole Junkermann, I was focused on the one question that remained unanswered from my article. What were Jeffrey Epstein and Nicole Junkermann doing in the United Kingdom, from landing on August 31, 2002 until leaving on the 2nd of September?

Depression, Addiction, and Crime
(VLOG at bottom for those who prefer to watch and listen rather than read). Perhaps, I am biased, being someone who has himself suffered and defeated years of both addiction and depression. But, when I see things like addiction, depression, suicidal thoughts, or even crime, I see the statement of a soul that is crying out that it needs something that it isn't getting. I see a soul that feels trapped within the series of unfortunate events that are its life, and the pain, anger, and resentment these events harbor. I see a soul that hasn't had a positive mentor to teach them to think constructively and deductively; or had the ability to be educated fairly; or had the positive environments that breed confidence and promote seeking self-discovery, self-betterment, and self-growth; or had the connections and assets necessary to pursue their passions and their dreams. And it certainly doesn't make that soul "weak" to have to succumb to the weight of a deeply lost and misguided world quite clearly owned and operated by Darkness—despite, this "tough-guy" society we've created, attempting to paint such an ignorant picture; one that deflects all blame away from the true root of the problem, and places it onto the lost and suffering soul for the actions that were only ever manifested because of the pains that haunt their past.

Living In Venezuela Today Has A Very High Psychological Cost
The Venezuelan crisis is economic, political, and also emotional. The exodus of hundreds of thousands of compatriots fleeing from hyperinflation, scarcity, violence, and misery fractures families and breaks the national soul. As a consequence, a new division is created in this republic already divided into a thousand pieces: those who stay and those who leave.
