Unvarnished Insights on the Institutions of Control From a Lifetime of Observation, Research and Activism
Welcome to my website. Here, I hope to share what I have learned, and continue to learn, after many decades of living, researching, inquiring, contemplating and doing what I can to make our world a little better. Hopefully, my insights will inspire you to do your part and, together, we will expose lies, dispose of useless myths, speak truth to power and open the minds and hearts of others who, sadly, are being used and manipulated by those who acquired riches and power, not by their own hard work, but by stealing wealth from those who do and using it to place themselves above their fellow human beings.

Where to begin? Well, let's start with what's wrong with Capitalism!
There is so much going on in our world, it's hard to know where to start talking about how we got to where we are and what would be the best way to go forward, that is, if we can! In some respects, life has gotten better for a lot of people in the past 100 years but, tragically, many millions, if not billions, have been left out of all the improvements in Science and the advances of social equality, democracy and human rights. In fact, we now see powerful men who are doing all they can to reverse the progress that has been made, presumably, in the hope of creating a world where a small few hold complete control over everyone else, just to exploit the rest of humanity for their personal benefit. So how about we begin with the way in which we humans organize the ways in which we trade with one another or, often, just take what others have worked hard to create, and consider what would be a far better way to organize our economy so hard work would be justly rewarded all the while we make sure those who can't and shouldn't have to work (children, the elderly, the disabled) are well provided for.

Why You Can Be Certain There Is No Such Place As Hell...and Why There Are People in Places of Power Who Love the Idea That God is So Cruel He Created an Entire Race of People, Fully Knowing He Would Eventually Torture Most of Them For Eternity...Which Makes It Very Easy For them To Justify Their Immense Cruelty Toward Others
