As always, I appreciate your reflection! And I didn’t know about the AdBusters magazine, and how it helped spark the Occupy movement. And let’s not forget Haiti and all over Africa too, when it comes to

Thanks for your sobering analysis on this developing issue! If Kennedy becomes president, I wonder how he’ll navigate this. For some reason, this reminds me of Marinol, the synthetic pharmaceutical cannabinoid

Super powerful, and actually infuriating that there aren’t protests about this. Ever since I started learning about how big banks and covert government forces facilitate illegal activities like drug

Dominant culture teaches us that race and gender are the basis of our identities. Yet the quality of a person's character seems much more important in my opinion. Circumstances shouldn't determine our

Your metaphor of society being in an abusive relationship with the control regime is spot on! An interesting follow-up blog could be about how these evil robots that control society are programmed. Like

Your patience and brilliance will take you amazing places, I know this. And I'm so lucky to be by your side with what you create :)

Love this!!! The most powerful parts of this post for me: Many Americans seem at this point to be under a magic spell that prevents us from understanding our shared circumstance ... It's morally dubious

Also, I think you should put your Substack link in the footer above your list of novels. It's your most recent work and it's easy to miss after the list of your books :)

I love how you portray CIA/covert government agents in your fiction novels. I feel their humanity and practicality, which feels far more authentic and realistic than portraying them as some sort of evil

I love this nuanced and balanced view of this issue! For someone who doesn't know much about crypto, your perspective is so helpful. Reading this post, it occurs to me that Whitney Webb often positions

Really interesting. Why does the Cloward-Piven strategy perspective think that a universal basic income would be problematic or not help society?

Possibly my favorite chapter so far! Can't wait to see where Lee will take this. It might be fun to do a chapter from a different perspective! And I must say, I love entertaining a story where the government

Interesting turn of events... I like the whole idea of how parallel stories are created for the purpose of information control! Sigh... if only illegal surveillance could always be about catching the real

Fascinating! I love Lee’s confidence. Now I wonder when the military-intelligence machine will come into play with stopping Lee’s appearances in the media. I can’t wait to see where Lee will find the best

All of us in the comments section can't wait to see what happens next. I also wish I could hear what Lee's voice sounds like :) Also I find it interesting that many people are calling Lee a robot, and

Great blog! A core consideration we all need to be talking about is the role of captured government agencies in all aspects of society and life. The control regime can stay hidden in plain sight through

Wow, incisive writing. This was a powerful line: Sometimes activists march in the streets in support of Palestinians, their energies directed neatly away from any area where they might actually make a

I am so intrigued by the presence of Battelle Memorial in your story!!! Is there a reason why Lee disappeared in front of Andy?

I can't wait to see how the public will react to Lee! And I particularly liked the way you described the higher order :) There's a period missing in the below sentence :) "Wouldn't it be fun if you brought

I'm shocked that every character hasn't lost their shit seeing a gray alien for the first time! And Lee is pretty comfortable talking like humans. I wonder if Lee's been around Earth for a while?
