You may notice that there are some categories listed above you will not find on CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, The New York Times, etc. These categories deal with the hidden aspect of current events. This website does not pretend to present "the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth." It's simply not possible.

There is Truth and there are truths. The "Truth" is a single, unshakeable reality that is the foundation of all truths and realities that grow out from it. "Truths" are the various aspects, the differing realities and observations that fill our human history. Some "truths" are sincere and genuine - and yes, even "true" if that word can be accurately defined. Others are manufactured and manipulated by the most sophisticated "truth alteration" techniques imaginable - stretching even beyond our mortal imagination.

For example, take just one history-altering event - the assassination of John F. Kennedy. If you look at all the stories of all the witnesses, you can come up with a hundred different "assassins." Take it one step further, if you collect the stories of all those who claim they killed Kennedy, you still come up with probably 17-20 different "assassins." Could they all be telling "the Truth" or even "a truth"? Who knows?

Our history is replete with such examples of labyrinths of reality. The researcher seeking "The Truth" will find him/herself starting out in a room with many doors. Each door opens into another room, itself filled with many doors, ad infinitum. It doesn't take long to become so totally lost that the researcher has completely lost track of where they started and what they were searching for. At some point it becomes easy to just go mad.

Part of this seems to be just the nature of the hydra-headed beast we call realities - or multiple realities. Part of it is manipulated by those in power to ensure the "Truth" remains hidden from all but those who participated in the cover-up.

In intelligence - civilian or military - there are two prerequisites for being allowed access to "a truth" - 1. the need to know and 2. the proper security clearance, the skeleton key, if you will, to the underground modules of "truth." (Think Indiana Jones stepping into the "warehouse" of ancient secrets, but alter that vision to picture a warehouse of hundreds of thousands of locked cubicles - and your key will only unlock one cubicle - and not necessarily even the cubicles within a cubicle.)

The foundation of intelligence is the aspect of modules - compartmentalization. That way no one person or entity has access to the Whole Truth. This is the world we live in and, no matter what road of inquiry you may choose to take, no matter whether, per The Matrix, you choose the red pill or the blue pill, that compartmentalization will always be an integral part of the world in which you tread.

This search can drive the best of us to madness if we aren't tethered to something real, intangible and rock solid.

Yet, as we walk along life's road of discovery, we are not without some guidance. We all have a built-in BS Detector, if we would just calibrate it properly and listen to it when the alarm goes off. Along that road of discovery we will make many finds - but how do we know if they are "real" or not? We bend over and inspect it. If it stinks, then it is crap, and we move on down the road to the next one.

OK, so how do we "calibrate" our built-in BS Detector? By adhering, first, to that commandment doctors once obeyed: Above all else, do no harm. Face the fact that many of the people you meet along this road of discovery (road of life) will be doing bad things. Even you will sometimes do bad things. But also realize that many people are doing these things, not because they are evil, but simply because their own BS Detector is in a bad state of repair. It's been tampered with, in some cases even disabled.

For those of us who believe there indeed a Creator, or a God, (and even those who don't) we must learn forgiveness. "Father, forgive them for they know not what they do." After all, can we ask our Creator to forgive us if we can't forgive others along the way? Rather inconsistent I would think.

These two tools - our BS Detector and the Tool of Forgiveness - are what will keep us sane on our journey. Have fun, but don't let the BS and the disappointments along the way get to you! Be brave, but not foolhardy - cautious but not fearful. If you've never seen the movie "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance," I advise you to pick it up on video. Jimmy Stewart, Jack Palance and John Wayne - a great trio. It's the story of a skinny little wimp who, by his nature, has to do the right thing - even though it means death. It's also a reaffirmation of "the truth" that when we do do the right thing, "we have people" (to paraphrase a currently popular tax-preparation commercial). But it is only when we set things in motion, by doing the right thing, that those people - those angels, protectors, silent allies - appear. We are the ones who have to take that step to start things moving.

You have just learned the Secret of Life. Enjoy!

In many ways I have been both blessed and cursed - blessed in being given the gift of writing, in being at certain places in certain times of our recent history to witness for myself some very unusual and profound events, and yet cursed in discovering the full implications of what I have seen and heard, cursed in those frequent episodes of despair in seeing the world careen down such a drunken path of self-destruction - and then again blessed in knowing that this path will not be allowed to reach its final self-destruction ... because there are higher powers that watch and quietly intervene.

Some would say I have wasted my life in gathering and archiving this information when I could have been making millions doing something more material, more commercial. Others, once they have stepped into the vaults of the Phoenix Foundation and have absorbed some of its contents, stagger back out into the sunlight and exclaim, "You are sitting on a goldmine that people would give their lives to know." I have actually been told that by some somewhat-famous individuals whose names are far more familiar to you than my own.

I make this concerted push at this time because time is running out - for me, for you, for all of us. The "time" I speak of is the time for making decisions about who you are, what you are, what you believe and why you are here. I cannot answer that question for you; it would be wrong of me to try. You each have your own answers and they are all different. My own time on this earth is entering its last chapter, its last unheard epic. I want this information passed on, for whatever good it may bring, for whatever help it may provide as you seek your own answers to those questions. There is a time to live and a time to die, a time to sow and a time to reap. My time to reap nears.

I foresee the day that my beloved wife will be called Home. I foresee the day that I, too, will be called Home. For so many years, I was naive and idealistic and believed that I could change the world. In pursuing that goal, tilting at windmills, I sometimes lost touch of the fact that while i was pursing the impossible dream, I was neglecting to change those things I could - myself first, my family, my children, my friends.

If my life is to mean anything, it must lie in the Passing On, the Sharing. What you do with it is your own destiny. I hand this to you as one human to another. I am no guru, no savior. I am not the answer to your quest. You have, as Gibran said, always held the answers within your own heart. You need no middleman, no interpreter between you and your Creator. That link, that bond is direct and eternal. Your Creator lives within you if you will just open up your heart and listen. That Creator also lives without, a piece living within each and every other human being - black, red, white or yellow - and even further, within every plant, every stone, every fish, every bird and every beast that walks the earth.

The line between Dark and Light, Yin and Yang, Good and Evil, goes straight down the middle of every heart - but our Creator gave us the choice to choose which side we wish to be on. I wish you Godspeed and good fortune on your journey, and may the winds always be at your back.
