Cover of Escaping the Matrix

For the past ten years I’ve been trying to understand how the world really works, and trying to figure out how we can fix it. In pursuing this quest, I’ve looked into myriad topics, and regularly posted my latest thinking to the cyberjournal lists (see below). The resulting dialog with subscribers has been extremely helpful in developing my ideas, and in clarifying the presentation. I think of Escaping the Matrix as being the culmination of a collective endeavor, although I must take sole responsibility for the final product.

“This is the best damn 9-11 documentary out there.”—Dave vonKleist, Producer of 911:In Plane Site. “Loose Change is an extremely hard hitting, heavily referenced documentary. It has the best footage that I have seen to date, of all the bombs and explosions going off at the World Trade Center. He covers each individual aspect of 9/11 in keen detail, and after watching Loose Change it is almost impossible to walk away and not believe that 9/11 was engineered, not by Osama, but by our own Government”
