Writing Contest by @steemitachievers

Having shamelessly used @steemitachievers lovely contest image, I hope my doing so helps to spread the word.

If you click on the image, it brings you right to the announcement post.

We often wonder what someone's Steemit handle may mean - and I have often been asked why @globocop? Are you a cop?

This challenge brings Steemians closer, allowing us to get to know one another better and appreciate and understand our fellow Pond friends better.

globocop?

I am not a cop. Not a state-sponsored cop anyway. I obtained a certificate as a Private Investigator in Atlanta, GA. This, however, was simply to learn about methods of investigation, chain of evidence, court proceedings, etc to help me with my work in Forensic Investigative Services and Data Recovery when I lived in the U.S. It has helped me tremendously to ask the right question and get to the bottom of things rather quickly.

But this has little to do with my Steemit handle. Those who know me can appreciate that I have principled points of view. That said, I lived in and fled communist East Germany. I was imprisoned for wanting to be free and for speaking my mind. These experiences made me allergic to power abuse by the state.

Globalism is cancer. Centralized power is cancer, as it always leads to abuse and corruption. I can smell globalist or bolshevic intentions 5,000 miles against the wind.

Almost two years ago, I told my dear friend @disarrangedJane that I wanted to write. Not knowing Steemit, I knew though it wasn't going to be on Facebook either. So, I looked for a thankless WordPress solution - and for a name:

Globocop. Watching the globalists. Investigating their deeds. Speaking truth to power.

I asked Jane, and she loved it. In typical Texan style, she quickly coined me Chris The Hat Hatfield Globocop You see, I like hats, too.

No, I am not a state sponsored cop. Sure, there are good coppers out there. But in most cases, cops are abused not to serve and protect the people, but globalist interests. And that is always something I am going to counter with BOLD Truth and ICE COLD Facts.

Even though you see me in my TX hat here, I now live in Panamá, a country that is less intrusive than any western state I have lived in. And boy, I love the weather here.

For 19 years, or is it longer?, I lived in the UK.

The ever increasing E.U. overreach onto the affairs of a seeminly sovereign country reminded me of East Germany. Centralized rule.

No accountability. Unlawful taxation. Unlawful laws.

A U.S. company designed three logos for me. I explained I was anti E.U. and this was for a blogging attempt that I abundended. You see, I can't take a middle ground. I can't mince my words to appease political correctness. I am who I am, a rebel who will always speak to power when he speaks.

Living in the UK/E.U. does not include the right to free speech. People are jailed for merely criticizing government policies or special interest groups. It's tyranny. It's hell. So, I left. I took with me little. Among the things: my logo. I think the designers did a fab job, don't you agree?
