We presently have four contributing authors, with extensive backgrounds in defense, homeland security, law enforcement, and intelligence. Most of our posts are related to immigration, civil rights and civil liberties, domestic economic policy, global economic policy, foreign trade, nuclear proliferation, religion, military strategy, and intelligence, all with an inclination to supporting social equity both in the US and globally. Occasionally we dabble in exercise, arts, and education.
We sometimes address very sensitive and polarizing issues. Many things inform and individual’s perspective on a topic, and no position should be dismissed without at least attempting to understand where the other person is coming from. We are, therefore, open to civil discussions with those who hold opposing views. When our information is incorrect or when our logic is flawed we will adjust as necessary, and hope that others do the same.
Be forewarned that we will not tolerate name-calling or openly vitriolic rhetoric. If your arguments are rooted in thoroughly debunked conspiracy theory or other known sources of non-factual information, don’t expect to have a long conversation with us.
We hope you enjoy reading.
