Letter to Vice President Vance

3/18/2026

Dear Vice President Vance,

Please invoke the 25th Amendment to the United States Constitution.

President Trump is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.
There are numerous reasons for this assertion, not the least of which is that President Trump has started a war in Iran without giving the public any coherent reason for it.

Innocent people have died and will continue to die.

How many more will die?

How many more actions must the president take before you conclude that he is unfit to do his job?
Will you wait until he invades an ally like Denmark or Canada?
Will you wait until he sends troops into more United States cities?
Will you wait until he orders you to be hanged?

You and a majority of Cabinet members have the Constitutional authority to bring this madness to an end.

Are We Ready for Universal Basic Income?

2/13/2026

Good public policy is not about more or less government. It is about government only where it is needed. Here is a good way to put power in the hands of the people. Are we ready for it?

Have I Been Censored?

"Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action." - Ian Fleming in Goldfinger.

2020 - Amazon bans my books, including my last one, "Planes without Passengers, Third Edition" - the book's final chapter included my suggestion that RFK, Sr. faked his assassination.
Amazon gave me no explanation for the ban.
2022 - Linkedin removes a post I made of a picture that I contend is a composite picture designed to deceive the public about the so-called RFK assassination.
Linkedin gave me no explanation for its removal.
2025 - Academia.edu would not post my essay about my theory that RFK faked his assassination.
Academia.edu gave me no explanation for its refusal to post the essay.

Asking the Right Questions about Chappaquiddick

11/30/2025

A number of years ago, a wrote an essay about this topic. I have since read a book that helped me to focus on the questions that should have been asked. This essay begins as the old one did, but carries my most recent thoughts, ending with a question to which I seek an answer.

I Don't Believe in Magic

11/22/2025

I just read two books that assert that John F. Kennedy, Jr. is still alive! They are Stolen Identity and The Historian's Tale.

The bottom line, per these two books, is that the namesake of President Kennedy was a victim of human trafficking and MK-ULTRA, a type of mind control. Another person "stole" JFK, Jr.'s place publicly and subsequently died in a plane crash in 1999.

What makes me consider the possibility that the man, known as David Quigley, is telling the truth?

The powers that be, who are ignoring him. The powers that be have lied to us repeatedly. One such lie is that 62 years ago today, one "magic" bullet went through President Kennedy, changing directions in mid-air, and hitting Governor Connally, leaving Connally with more shrapnel wounds in his body than was missing in the bullet.

Quigley/Kennedy tells a story about real-life issues: identity theft, fraud, murder and torture.

I hope the public will give him a chance to speak his truth.

I Miss Kamala Harris

10/3/2025

I just heard the book 107 Days by Kamala Harris. It reminded me: We could have had a president with intelligence, dignity and respect for the Constitution.

I Feel Bad

I feel bad that some of my neighbors (who are here legally) are scared to leave their houses for fear of ICE.

Dean Hartwell Receives Visitor in Dream

5/14/2020

Author Dean T. Hartwell had a dream in which Robert Kennedy appeared to him.
“Mr. Hartwell, I have come to tell you congratulations.”
“For what?”
“For discovering the truth that I faked my death.”
“This must be a dream.”
“It is. Don't try to wake up."
"Why not?"
You have to choose from two options about me before you can do that.”
“What is the first choice?”
“Believe a lie.”
“What is the other option?”
“Disbelieve the truth.”
“Why can’t I believe the truth?”
“Because believing the truth is for dreamers.”

Robert F. Kennedy Assassination Was Staged

5/3/2020

This picture appeared in major newspapers throughout the nation shortly after reports emerged that Robert F. Kennedy had been shot. Look at the picture closely: do you see that the man in glasses is missing a hand?

Photographs were cut and pasted to form this picture. The "editors" cut out the man's hand in a photograph in which the man held the head of a man playing the role of Kennedy's stand-in. By cutting out the hand, the editors made room for a paste of Kennedy's head over the stand-in's body.

In short, Robert F. Kennedy's assassination was staged.
