WARS OF THE OVERWORLD REDUX

“If I’d written all the truth I knew for the past ten years, about 600 people – including me – would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of professional journalism.” — Hunter S. Thompson

“If the eye could see the demons that people the universe, existence would be impossible.” —

Derek’s Quotes

“As the wine went down in the bottles, patriotism arose in the three men. And when the wine was gone they went down the hill arm in arm for comradeship and safety, and they walked into Monterey. In front of an enlistment station they cheered loudly for America and dared Germany to do her worst. They howled menaces at the German Empire until the enlistment sergeant awakened and put on his uniform and came into the street to silence them. He remained to enlist them.”
― John Steinbeck, The Short Novels of John Steinbeck

New e-book of Crash Gordon and the Illuminati Underground will be available FREE November 1st and 2nd, 2016 for all those readers out there who happen to be broke (like me...). If you end up reading it (and liking it), I'd appreciate a review, but that's by no means an obligation. Here's the link: https://www.amazon.com/Crash-Gordon-I...
