I have difficulty reading after eye surgery and prefer to listen to presentations whenever possible. That being said, I read every word you write because your dedication and honesty show through. Your mention above regarding Ebeneezer Creek gave me pause and I said, YES! I REMEMBER what you wrote! It affected me greatly as I had no knowledge of such things. Please don’t put your book too far to the side but I also appreciate your attention to the current events trying to wreck our world.
""If we’re going to start kidnapping people and bombing countries over drugs that kill Americans, I’ve got a suggestion for where to start. The Sackler family.
The Sacklers created a crisis that has killed over 500,000 Americans. More than every combat death in World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam combined. They marketed OxyContin as non-addictive when their own research showed it was profoundly addictive. They pushed doctors to prescribe higher doses when patients developed tolerance. They knew what they were doing. They did it anyway.
And when the lawsuits came? They paid a fine, admitted no wrongdoing, and kept their billions. No one went to prison. The Sackler name is still on buildings at Harvard, Yale, Oxford, the Louvre.
I’m from Appalachia. I’ve watched what opioids did to my community. The devastation. The destruction. Families torn apart. Lives ended. And the people who caused it are still making money. Still getting invited to galas. Still treated like philanthropists instead of mass murderers.""
I was thinking something along this line when I prioritzed some of our limited funds to support your work. It is deep and documented and I appreciate all that. If you see me turn off auto-renewal, this is only so that renewal is done intentionally and thoughtfully in the future. Auto-renewal is a convenience I find inconvenient. That said, please keep up the good work.
David..thank you. I don’t take that lightly, especially knowing you’re making choices with limited funds. And I totally get the auto-renew thing; intentional and thoughtful beats “set it and forget it” every time. Just you being here, reading and backing the work when you can, means more than I can say man.🙏
It's important. It's why I subscribed.
Agreed!
Me too!
People all over the world, join in...

Maggie......I agree with you!!! Who says we are all equal under the law??? They lied!
Your insight is really valuable to me, particularly when you discuss things in light of your law enforcement experience.
