  3. You're awesome. It's easy to forget in the world you live and breathe in - how important your information is. Why don't you write what you would have revealed on Alex Jones, and send it to jhaines6.wordpress.com You will get great exposure and cross-posting and blogging with other sites which will snowball into many more interviews, etc.

    Thank you for your courage!!

    1. I am not affiliated with jhaines6.wordpress.com I just believe it would be a good springboard. After your explosive interview with infowars.com your site deserves more attention than a few comments a couple days afterwards

  4. One last thing Steve! the cryptic "B" for blog icon on the upper right corner of your home (main) page of your website is much too obscure for your blog posts. Please consider putting your current blog posts directly on your front page, or at least a more overt link to it. Because the blog is the only thing likely to change day to day and is thus the likeliest reason for people to visit your site. That is:
    to read your latest news and thoughts!

  5. I am sure you are aware that Alex Jones is only interested in your draw to his viewing audience. He is clearly trying to keep you focused on what he thinks his audience wants to hear in short sound bites. Frankly, you sound quite angry and a little frustrated with the current state of affairs in our world. I know, I get it, I am not a psychiatrist or psychotherapist. I am not trying to be. I am a good and discerning listener. I like what I hear in your voice. I have notice that your voice and demeanor change signficantly in cadence with whatever interviewer you are working with. I learned how some of this stuff works when I was in Viet Nam and while I was working with the US prison system. I would like to learn more from you. aln
