scratch says hello

I've seen several references to this particular forum in my brief stay here, so in the interest of etiquette I've decided to post an introduction thread.

The basic gist of my experience to date is that I've lived in New York, California & Texas, I'm a married guy with two kids (and a dog and a horse), I work for a huge company that you've heard of in a technical capacity and I'm unconvinced that anything I read, hear or see is representative of the truth.

Also, I used to read a lot of fiction until I discovered that truth, particularly the ones that lie in the shadows, are far more engaging and interesting.

I started my journey in search of truth in 1979 when I read two books. William Manchester's Death of a President and Vincent Bugliosi's Helter Skelter both had a huge effect on my young mind. One of those started me down the life altering path of understanding the Kennedy assassination and it's larger implications and the other taught me about the fine art of scapegoating and just how interwoven the corporate controlled mass media is with the judicial system.

Along the way I've also become fascinated with Egyptian mythology and history with particular regard to its possible roots in Sumerian and pre Sumerian history.

That's all I can think of right now.

It's a pleasure to be here amongst this fine and august assembly.

Thank you for the kind words.

By the by, I'm a slightly overweight, middle class American white male Libertarian full size v8 pick-up driver who lives in the bible belt and rejects all 3 Abrahamic religions.

I'm used to people disliking me.

Hurled invectives and scathing insults are mother's milk to me!
