“Contributing to the conversation..."

Thank you for visiting my pages.

My pledge: As a lifelong-practicing “old-school” reporter who studied journalism on clattering university typewriters and learned his craft with notepad, Tri-X and a Pentax 1a on the streets of Milwaukee and Chicago and the mud of Woodstock during the tumultuous ‘Sixties, I was taught that reporting the news is not a popularity contest or an advertising decision. How many ads and “like” buttons do you see on this site?

The Net never sleeps. And neither does my muse. My new posts are frequently updated, so please keep checking back until this new content is uploaded to my posted ARTICLES directory.

Against The Trust, Rogers & The Tower

Spoken submission delivered by William Thomas to the Islands Trust/LTC on Hornby Island, Sept. 8, 2023:

Answer: Consultation becomes collusion when…

TRUST DOCUMENTS REVEAL DEEPLY FLAWED TOWER PROCESS

Expanded Edition

by William Thomas

On June 10, 2022, a $200billion/year, Toronto-based telecom giant commenced secretive consultations to install a 200-foot cell tower on a small Gulf Island, whose community had overwhelmingly rejected a similar proposal — and was already served by STARLINK, towers on adjacent islands, and a soon-be-completed fibre-optic network.

Are the brain's electromagnetic fields the seat of Consciousness? -Soren Dreier

CONSCIOUSNESS & EMFs

WHY I STUDY WAR

by William Thomas

… But Linda was not into indulging a Woodstock veteran’s nostalgia. Referencing my recently posted piece, in which I’d detailed the logistical impossibility of the United States sustaining a full-on conflict with Russia in Europe, she surprised me with her opening query.
