A Note from the Author on the Government Gangsters Unsurprisingly, the government gangsters that I expose in these pages didn’t want this book to come out. Yet, by law, I needed their approval before we could publish. Contractually, all former government employees with high-level security clearances who write a book must submit the manuscript to the government for prepublication review. Only after a certified review by all agencies and departments that the government chooses did we publish the book you’re now reading. During that review process, government bureaucrats from nine separate agencies and departments attempted to stop me. They delayed publication for almost eight months (stretching out a process that normally takes three to four months) to edit minor parts of ten paragraphs. Only after I filed a federal lawsuit against the government did the Department of Defense (DoD) magically finish its work and “release” my manuscript. During the review process, the government often demands unnecessary redactions under the pretext of protecting classified information and—get this—“unclassified information that may lead to the compromise of classified information.” As you will see in this book, abusing the classification system is a common tactic government gangsters use to cover their tracks and bury their own corruption. They used this maneuver to redact some of the material in these pages. I could have fought again in court to remove the unnecessary redactions, but at the cost of delaying publication even longer. It was more important to get the truth out as soon as possible, even if I couldn’t expose every last detail. Special thanks to Christopher Mills for taking the fight to federal court. This book was not easy to publish. It’s the book the Deep State doesn’t want you to read. But they failed. I will not—and will never—let government gangsters stop me from putting the Mission First.
