“For we are opposed around the world by a monolithic and ruthless conspiracy that relies primarily on covert means for expanding its sphere of influence–on infiltration instead of invasion, on subversion instead of elections, on intimidation instead of free choice, on guerrillas by night instead of armies by day. It is a system which has conscripted vast human and material resources into the building of a tightly knit, highly efficient machine that combines military, diplomatic, intelligence, economic, scientific and political operations. Its preparations are concealed, not published. Its mistakes are buried, not headlined. Its dissenters are silenced, not praised. No expenditure is questioned, no rumor is printed, no secret is revealed." John F. Kennedy, 1961
A historian by heart, I have spent my life studying world events with special emphasis on moments or epics where absolute power reigns with an iron fist. I have worked for many years in finance and have intimate knowledge of how markets interact globally with politics. I have translated German war diaries into English, which were later published. War, profit, propaganda and geopolitics are what interest and concern me. Spiritual awakenings, new beginnings and grassroots solutions to our many political challenges are what give me hope. I like to write prose, poetry, short-stories or simply anything, which consumes me that I feel needs to come out at any given time.
Much of my writing deals with dark subjects. In many of these writings, I express rays of hope and light, which always exist side by side with desperation and fear. Others simply reveal the dark times in which we live. The reader will also find works dealing with love, spirituality, humor, inspiration, science-fiction, history, warfare, politics, etc.
My influences range from authors like Gabriel Garcia Marquez, who so beautifully weaves poetry into reality, to Edgar Allan Poe, Cormac McCarthy, HP Lovercraft and the great, courageous new thinkers of our time like William Engdahl, Webster Tarpley, Gerhard Wisnewski, Naomi Klein, Andreas von Bulow and countless others who are now awakening to the gathering clouds and shouting back with one, powerful voice! Also want to give a special thanks to my wife for her encouragement.
Horror, beauty, good and evil are truly in the eye of the beholder.
