A Civil Death

“If you’re going through Hell, keep going.” — Winston Chruchill I always thought of notoriety as publicity. In other words, if someone wrote about you, people took notice. I wasn’t up on the concept of schadenfraude. Naivete is possible at any age. What I wasn’t aware of was that the media was more than capable…

The Toxic Plume

“Forgive your enemies but never forget their names.” — John F. Kennedy I spent almost five years living with killers, drug dealers, gang members, pedophiles and gangsters. It was payback for writing Truth about Hamptons politicians and the illegal, racist policies adopted in order to continue collecting money from tourists, New Yorkers, and homeowners who…

Maxing Out

“The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons.”                                               — Fyodor Dostoevsky There’s no better way to relax than to look back upon good times. And, I’ve found just the solution by remembering my stay in an upstate New York prison…

The Epstein War

“Do what you love and let it kill you.” Charles Bukowski As the hostilities play out, I’m reminded of my childhood in Brooklyn where the gangsters would hang out on the corner in suits and fedoras discussing business. It was 1957 — before the Appalachin meeting to pick a new Capo di tutti capi Vito Genovese,…

Agent Provocateur

“If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.”  — George Washington Try telling the Truth and see what it gets you. Let me tell you. Not much. I’m reminded of it every morning when I put my hands in my pockets looking for change…
