THE ASSASSINATION OF FAIR TAXATION![]()
![]()
We should all have grave concern about the impending combined impact of dirty banks that conspire with clients to evade taxes, deep cuts to the resources & staff of the IRS made by DOGE, new IRS “leadership” that called for the abolishment of the IRS, and an escalating national deficit that will be imposed on us by the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act”. This cocktail of wrongs will certainly create a financial supernova for the US, a catastrophe that will undermine the health and well-being of our nation for generations to come.![]()

My anticipation of this disaster drove me to write an article at the link below that will be published in this Sunday’s edition of the Tampa Bay Times. The Tampa Bay Times reaches more than 1 million readers a week. That’s a start, but if you share my view, PLEASE share this article broadly, and let your elected officials know you will remember their position on these issues the next time they run for office.![]()

THE BARRIER TO GREATNESS![]()
![]()
Darius Mirshahzadeg, host of THE GREATNESS MACHINE PODCAST, had me as a guest on his show. We talked about behind-the-scenes stories concerning my deep undercover work detailed in my two books, THE INFILTRATOR and THE BETRAYAL. As he does with all his guests, near the end of the show, Darius asked me to explain what I thought was the number 1 barrier to creating greatness that I encountered in my life, and how I overcame it. ![]()
![]()
My view is that, only our peers can assess whether we have achieved greatness. My mentors urged me to never forget that, at the end of the day, one’s success is tied directly to how focused you are at being the best you. No matter how sophisticated your tools are, unless you are personally at your best, you are likely to fail. Being the best you starts with overcoming “A FEAR OF IMAGINING”. There are key things that helped me imagine at my highest level, and I spelled those out in this 1 ½ minute excerpt from the show sent to me by Darius’ team:![]()

SERVICE TO COUNTRY![]()
![]()
I am blessed to frequently have the opportunity to share my thoughts with law enforcement officers that are devoting their lives to being a part of making a difference, especially those on the early side of their public service journey. Through a myriad of conferences and training sessions, I have gotten to know many thousands of you that eagerly serve your communities, the nation, and our brothers and sisters in ally nations. As you know, I am here for you whenever you feel I can possibly help. ![]()

For those of you in that world following me on social media, I have produced this short video file that especially focuses on a message for officers intending to become long-term undercover agents. This video is my answer to the countless times I have been asked what my journey was like and why I was able to travel the road less traveled. Here’s how I see it:
THE REAL 'INFILTRATOR'![]()
![]()
RMagazine's Gill Schor interviewed me about my undercover missions inside the Medellin Cartel, the Cali Cartel, and Panama's underworld. We discussed how and why I came within minutes of getting whacked several times, and some of the unfortunate decisions made by both ill-intentioned and well-intentioned colleagues that put targets on my back. ![]()
![]()
The tightrope I walked in the underworld is traveled today by public servants around the world that hope to be a part of making a difference. Know that, during this Holiday season, as we gather with family and friends to celebrate, there are brave men and women sacrificing precious time away from loved ones because of their commitment to their mission. I know what it's like to be alone, in another life, this time of the year. To those doing that today for the greater good, please know we will never forget, and we're here for you when you return.![]()
