Wanna help? And contribute to smashing the State at the same time?

As mentioned, I'm hard at play writing a novel called THE WAR FOR AMERICA, which I abbreviate as WAR4AM. It's meant most of all as a teeth-rattling adventure story to entertain you from start to THE END. But it's also – big surprise! – intended as a tool of subversion.

One tricky area for the freedom-minded is evading the new Surveillance State. I just noticed some new out-and-out video-cameras on a traffic light by Albuquerque's Old Town; you've probably seen them near where you live too (and if you have the misfortune to live in the People's Republic of Europe, that ongoing object lesson in how over-civilization leads with surprising rapidity to decivilization that calls itself the "European Union", you see them everywhere except, so far, your own bedroom). If we are going to live free, we must, as Rush sang in "Red Barchetta," "elude the Eye." Although, thinking about it, the Eye of Mordor (can you tell I'm rereading LORD OF THE RINGS?) might be the best way to think about it. It adds the appropriate tones of horror – and evil.

Of more immediate concern to me is the threat posed by "passive millimeter-wave sensing," a.k.a. "electronic frisking." It involves detecting electromagnetic frequency radiation emitted by our own bodies to tell whether we, for example, are carrying weapons to defend ourselves against predators. Check out the definition for millimeter-wave camera on this swell web site, the SPACE & ELECTRONIC WARFARE LEXICON, your quick source (one of mine, anyway) for skinny on all manner of spookiness. 

OK, welcome back; if you're a Type Seven like me, you may've been distracted for a few minutes (hours, days) by such other goodies as the "Voice to Skull (V2K) Device," a.k.a. "Artificial Telepathy," or the "Pulse Wave Myotron." And don't neglect the "Plane Wave" – is it just me, or do we have here a euphemism for "force field," as "quantum tunneling" is a euphemism for "teleportation?" My, what busy creatures the statist technognomes are!

Or the statist grantwriters , in any event; many of these entries are almost certainly pure blue-sky dreamed up to snare a share of the blood tapped from your taxpaying veins, and will never be realized. Still, they give us a look into what's going on in the creepier convolutions of the Enemy's mind: back at ya, Sauron!

Anyway, I'm looking for ways to circumvent, counter, or otherwise thwart spy high-tech, especially the nasty passive-MMW detection. I'm therefore soliciting your suggestions. In the future, I want to try to get a message board up and running, preferably without having to learn CGI; for now, feel free to drop me any ideas you're willing to share by email. All I can offer is my gratitude, credit in the acknowledgements when the book comes out, along with the satisfaction that you might be helping real people save their freedom and their lives.

Thanks in advance.

And thanks as well, to all you who continue to write in to tell me how much you enjoy my work. There have been times when your words have kept me moving forward through Darkness. Keep the faith – you'll get lots more of my entertainments, and soon!

As mi hermano Don Lobo Tiggre says, "Do freedom!"

Usually - so far - I do so through the medium of writing: novels and stories. I may branch out in future. The key for me is keeping it fun, for you and for me.

In the (long overdue) process of revamping this site I've added a new link to a partial bibliography of my work.

Right now I'm driving myself to finally finish my near-future science fiction novel in time to peddle it to publishers at Worldcon in Chicago this September. I've been working on this book for upwards of four years. Now it's nearing completion.

It's entitled THE WAR FOR AMERICA. That's what it's about: the climactic struggle between freedom and tyranny in the United States of America. The subtitle is: Freedom can win.

It's going to boot serious head. One of my priorities in pushing hard to get it done soon (along with trivia like paying my bills, not to mention rewarding my fans for their patience in waiting for my next work to appear) is in an attempt to have it come out before it comes true. These are scary times, in case you haven't noticed. Government's mad greed to control every aspect of out lives, not to mention our wealth, is exceeded only by its soaring incompetence. And our freedom may not be all that lies at stake: there's the little matter of our lives, as well.

You'll have to read the book to find out more.

You may also have a chance to help me with this gigantic project, if you're so inclined. Keep watching this site for information how.

Oh - my Hot Links have moved to their own page. Click here or on the menu bar below.

You hear some astonishing things watching the football games. Some commentator just said a player was "battling an Achilles." Great image, no? Suggests the gentleman's being stalked by a naked ancient Greek hero in a bronze helmet: "Hey! How'd you get in the showers? Guys? GUYS!"

Ted was charming and used women. If he'd just had the right party affiliation, it would've been fine. So he tended to use them up - well, he only killed them once, didn't he? And after all, didn't Gloria Steinem and the rest of America's political-feminist sorority aver in Clinton's case that everybody's entitled to a free shot? Provided, of course, that he's a billionaire-friendly Democrat.

On the other hand, old Ted served a useful purpose on his way to being bacon. Indeed, he continues to serve one. In the end he blamed pornography for his misdeeds, and was duly embraced as a soul brother by the dark forces of censorship.

And so he is: the perfect moral exemplar of all enemies of freedom of speech. To all of you who supported the CDA in any of its incarnations - including, of course, Proponent-in-Chief William Ceausescu Clinton - you are truly Ted, and Ted is you.
