In each person's search for understanding in this complex world, he or she will encounter many divergent voices and ideologies. Unfortunately, these voices are neither equal in their honesty nor in their intentions. As a result, it takes a fair amount of experience and tough thinking skills to ferret out the half-truths, purposeful distortions, and omissions that lead people to incorrect conclusions.

My approach is to engage in a critical analysis of controversial subjects that revolve around the key issues in life. I define key issues as those that both allow people to see the "big picture" in life, as well as understand how they must act to correctly solve problems in a permanent way. I have little tolerance for the superficial conclusions that come from most establishment sources of information--whether that be selective news analysis or generic, simplistic advice about human problems. I intensely dislike news and commentary that is based on a hidden agenda hostile to individual liberty and equally hostile to the key elements of philosophy and religion that would help people resist personal corruption and chronic bad judgment. Often, those that harbor these hidden motives will engage in various degrees of deception to make sure the reader does not perceive what their intents are. In contrast, I will be transparent about my intentions in publishing this World Affairs Brief

I refer to myself as a conservative of liberty, although I have no interest in conserving the status quo--which is far removed from the principles of liberty. Rather, I have an interest in hammering out changes for the long-term future of freedom, so that the best principles of the US Constitution (defense of fundamental rights and strict limitations on representative lawmaking powers) can be reinstated in both the law and peoples' consciousness. I am unalterably opposed to the common "liberal" (actually socialist) concept of using government power and tax funds to give benefits of any sort to groups or individuals. Click on the Philosophy Of Law section if you are interested in participating in this reformation of liberty in the world.

I am a firm believer in God and am a devout Christian, though I have many criticism of the practices of organized, highly regulated, non-thinking Churches (both Christian and non-Christian). I will not, however, make any attempt to proselytize my readers about religious beliefs, as it is one of my fundamental precepts that this earth life is a test to see how each of us will react to the problems and evils that life presents and learn to judge for ourselves. I will make comments from time to time about how I feel people ought to become more sensitive to conscience and the need for increased self-discipline, so as to avoid the chronic bad judgment that plagues our soft worldly society. Whether or not you accept these promptings from conscience as divine is up to you, but at least I want my readers to know where I believe the source of all truth is coming from. What is most important is that you learn to become sensitive to what is true and learn to love doing what is right.

I also believe that there exists a great source of evil in the universe that is constantly working to counter the good and lead men away into secret combinations of power and corruption. Perhaps the single biggest flaw in modern man's view of life is his failure to believe in real evil anymore. Granted, evil tries its best to stay hidden behind the mask of smiling politicians, but behind the mask lurk men and women as evil as Mao, Stalin and Hitler who will bring upon us the death of millions. I won't concentrate on this Satanic connection to conspiracy in my briefs, but I think you ought to keep in mind how much the higher levels of conspiracy in the world are controlled by the dark side of the spiritual spectrum. This evil spiritual control and direction is the only thing that permits long-term conspiracies to survive and grow generation after generation without deviating from the central plan or losing control over the levers of corruption even as co-conspirators and leaders die and are replaced.

 

My briefs attempt to track the insider moves underlying the major stories you hear each week. I will not attempt to be your primary news source--but rather, your best source of news analysis. My purpose and strong point is to help you see how world and national events are shaping up in accordance with the secret agendas of men and groups who control government. I don't pretend to be a true insider. Nobody who really is on the inside would be honest enough to tell you the truth anyway. What I am good at is putting together the probable set of intentions and motives of the power elite by inductively cataloging their specific actions over time.

By the way, you should beware of writers on conspiracy who claim too much "insider" knowledge, without having actually worked in the dark side of government. They are almost always fabricating some of the details. The trouble with most defectors is that they all carry some corruption baggage--or they wouldn't have been allowed into the dark side of government in the first place. In today's world, good people are never allowed inside the higher echelons of power. Evil can sense when someone really isn't one of them. Naive collaborators may get close and get a glimpse or two, since the dark side surrounds itself with "useful idiots" (their term, not mine) but they will never get deep into the higher levels of the conspiracy without proving their total allegiance and immunity from conscience.

I try my best to get details from first hand sources, and secondary sources which can be corroborated by other trends and sound analysis. Sometimes I will make judgement calls based upon gut feelings or suspicions--but I'll tell you that it is only my opinion.

Periodically, I put out important "backgrounder" writings when I find a long-term trend or strategy that needs further in-depth explanation. These will be posted and updated from time to time on this web site. New subscribers to the print edition will get them in written form.

There are several editions of the World Affairs Brief--the weekly email edition, and the monthy print edition (which is a compilation of the four or five weekly briefs each month).

My purpose is not to make a lot of money on this briefing service. That is why it is so inexpensive as newletters go. I really want to get as many people informed about the treachery going on in world government as possible. I also want to help build an intelligent network of people for the ultimate defense of liberty--so I encourage my subscribers to help serve as my eyes and ears to the world. I have as much traffic coming from my subscribers as I send out to them.

Thus, the weekly Internet Email is what I would prefer everyone to use, as it allows me to avoid all the cost and staff associated with publishing a large printed newsletter. It will thus be half the price of the monthly print edition. Subscribers who prefer to read from a hard copy can always print out the PDF version from the PDF link at the beginning of each brief. All subscribers will have access to the on-line version (and archives) with the appropriate access codes sent after a subscription is entered. Also, I need to avoid costly management and accounting costs, so all subscriptions will be on a full year basis. They will expire at the end of December, and begin again in January of each year.
