About this Site --
This
Site is an epic event in the history of free speech:
Conventional wisdom has always admonished us that "You cant fight City
Hall," and perhaps that was true until the advent of the World Wide Web. But
its not true any longer, and this WebSite proves it.
In point of fact, this Site is not just opposing a City Hall, it represents the
battle-line drawn in a cyber-war, in which a private individual is facing off against a
Presidential Palace, and all the rest of the administrative trappings and resources of a
full-fledged sovereign nation. This has never happened before, but it is happening here -
and because it is, the balance of power between governments and citizens will never be the
same again!
How this Site came into being:
The inspiration grew out of a monumental land rip-off, in which Arnold Morris, a fugitive
on the run from a 26-count United States federal indictment, and the then-sitting Roatan
Judge of Letters, Fernando Azcona Schrenzel, teamed up to steal my Roatan property. Rather
than bow to the axiom, "You cant fight City Hall," I decided to fight.
Surfing the Net one day, I found a page entitled "Honduras Notebook" and noticed
that it contained some highly complimentary references to Roatan, that - on the basis of
my first-hand experiences - were not only out of accord with the realities, but could help
get some trusting souls into deep and very expensive trouble.
I wrote an e-mail to Stephen Goodfellow, the owner of the "Honduras Notebook"
page. I detailed my specific exceptions to the rosy picture he had presented of the
island. I told him that, based on first-hand experience, I knew Roatan
to be in the firm grip of a blatant conspiracy comprised of an international
criminal-in-flight, a corrupt Judge of Letters, and some of their nearest and dearest
friends.
Stephen Goodfellow replied to me immediately, and asked my permission to post my e-mail in
his "Honduras Notebook". I authorized him to do so.
From that point on, I began thinking seriously about using the World
Wide Web to publicize the criminals on Roatan, whose business - clearly - was stealing
land from absentee owners. And doing so with the active assistance of the
totally corrupted Court of Letters. In due course the scope of my crusade widened to
include political corruption, wherever existing in the Republic of Honduras.
Stephen set up the WebSite for me, and he still does most of the designing, layout and
all of the artwork. From the very first exposures, a group of followers began to
build. Some of those who wrote "Feedback" notes said they enjoyed the Site
for the information and the entertaining language-style I employ. Others said they also
owned land, or had other interests in Honduras, and/or on Roatan, and they found my
articles accurate, highly instructive, and valuable. Many of the the
"regulars" speak of the Site as "a learning experience." We try
to keep the Site all of these things.
The first article written specifically for the Site was "Roatan - Paradise -
Orphan", or "How To Destroy an Island." This expose laid the
groundwork for everything that has followed. Since then, we have added more materials on
politcal corruption, some fiction, some fact-ion, official correspondence, related
narrative materials and Site components like Feedback, Discussion - and a Translation
function, that allows the site to be multi-lingual. It is constantly changing, as you will
see under the "What's New" heading.
The step-by-step progress of the confrontation between this "old Gringo" and the
Republic of Honduras, is spelled out and firmly documented in articles, letters and other
exhibits that put responsibility squarely where it belongs - at the very top of the
political pyramid!
It is pertinent to point out that, while there have been many protests about some of the
posts I have made - for a variety of reasons - the veracity of my articles has never been
challenged by anyone. For a professional journalist, that is the acid test. As long as my
articles are true - and I take extreme precautions to make sure that they are -
I believe the citizens of Honduras, and the world at large are well served by my
informing them that there is a bunch of crooks holding forth in the Republica de Honduras.
Moreover, that these are extremely dangerous people. A crooked politician, in
particular, who is protected by both civil and criminal immunity, is probably the most
dangerous criminal you will ever meet - anywhere!
If you would like to see how a single individual - with a computer and an Internet
Connection - can go up against crooks in government and win, follow the activities in this
Site. You will learn the tactics and strategy of fighting corruption in government with
the one tool they fear more than any other - publicity.
The old saying that, "the pen is mightier than the sword," always has
had a grain of truth in it. But when your pen is replaced by a computer, and your words
are globally disseminated over the World Wide Web, your "pen " is ten-thousand
times mightier than it ever was before.
Your suggestions and personal support is welcomed. Let us hear from
you via the "Feedback" function or by regular e-mail.
