You and I, if we ever meet, will have much to talk about.
For 15 years, I was the guy military intelligence, Joint Terrorism Task Force, Secret Service will visit if they want questions answered. My fee was $1,000. I only talked with seasoned veterans, the low level agents were kind of clueless, didn't know what to ask.
College professors, AP reporters visiting me, bringing a couple of hundred dollars for my time. Two of them went on to being expert witnesses at the infamous Charlottesville, VA trials.
I have always been fascinated with revolutions, revolts. Instead of reading about various groups, I actually went out to meet them, and get to know them.
One very well known expert on global extremism, who has testified a few times in front of a US Congressional Committee dropped everything, flew across the country for an opportunity to sit down with me one day.
I been out of all that for ten years now, but I still keep my finger in the air to see which way the wind blows. You must understand I cannot talk about a lot of things. But I can discuss, in general terms, what's out there.
