Hello fellow bloggers and every person who is reading this. I’m writing this from a state prison in the USA. Yes, I’m a convicted felon but I’m not alone as there are millions of other men, women and children around the world with me. Anyone is liable to end up in a prison or jail at any time. As governments change laws turning what was okay to do yesterday into a felony today. My saying is “Everyone is a felon, the government just hasn’t passed the laws to make it official yet.”

Governments have their place, but only with democratic consent. I think what’s been going on in the USA is that the Government has usurped the power of the people through a failed education system; massive secrecy; mass incarceration and just as the Romans did-the use of the entertainment spectacle.

In my life before prison I served in the US Navy. I had a Top Secret clearance; was honorably discharged. I believed, and still do, in an America where the good people will always win and the truth will prevail.

I found out that life is none of those things, yet all of those things. My dreams came to an end and so did those of another person. What followed has been the biggest transformation-I think-that a person can go through.

But I want to say I did do what I’m here for. Not to the degree I was found guilty of, but nevertheless, I did do it, and I’m profoundly sorry. I wish it had not happened, but it did; now I’m here; and I hope my unique views will help-The World; The Nation, or just one other person.

For however long I can do this, I will always try to be honest and attempt to wake others up from the slumber I was in before I came to prison.

Welcome to my blog.
