About this series
I came late to Bitcoin and have zero understanding of the technical complexities of cryptography, but I do realize Bitcoin is open source and completely transparent and completely non-predatory in design, a real departure from our banking industry. Any assets moved into Bitcoin virtually disappear from the public record at this point and do not become taxable events until they are brought back into the system. Bitcoin has numerous benefits to offer and represents a real threat to our current corrupt money system. The media has been relentlessly negative on bitcoins for a reason: they threaten the status quo. This text serves as a manifesto for the rise of a Bitcoin nation.

- Bugging Out on the Endless Peak
2
The Fun House was a dance club in New York that reached a peak in the mid-1980s. It was famous for under-age patrons, rampant drug use, occasional fights, and no-nonsense bouncers (all of whom looked like Gold's Gym poster boys). I spent a few weeks going there and wrote this report originally for the Village Voice. The club was raided the day the story appeared (and closed for one night), and word on the street was I was in big trouble. But the owners actually liked the story and thought it was good publicity. I concentrated on finding the best group of kids I could, with the best energy, and just followed them around for a few days. Today, the club is probably best known for having helped launch Madonna, who held several early performances there, and used it as a testing lab to tweak her early records.
- Dirty Money
10
Ever wondered about the real meaning of "The Wizard of Oz?" Who do you think really controls the banking industry? What are the connections between the intelligence agencies and organized crime around the world, and how do these connections affect the banking industry? Was the financial collapse of 2008 precipitated by the temporary refusal of the Mexican mob to launder money in major banks? The answer to these and other questions await you in this fascinating article of little-known banking history.
- True Ghost Stories
4
In 1981, I was a reporter for the New York Daily News, when I investigated three haunted houses. The most compelling case came from Dr. Karlis Osis, a well-known researcher who frequently takes on assignments from the CIA and other top-secret organizations. Osis would later help me in an article about out-of-body research, of which he is considered the world authority. Although I was skeptical of the first two cases I investigated, I found the case of Jean and Patti to be difficult to disbelieve. Whether spirits are emanations of our own minds, or energies from another dimension is the million-dollar question. Someday, I hope we discover the answer.
- The Doomsday Brigade
5
I'd been recently hired as a reporter for the New York Daily News when I submitted this article. It ended up being featured at the top of the Sunday paper, which had the largest circulation of any edition. Although I thought I was on my way to a successful career as a newspaper reporter, I think my somewhat left-wing politics eventually left me isolated at the paper and I was soon fired.
- The Bitcoin Revolution

I came late to Bitcoin and have zero understanding of the technical complexities of cryptography, but I do realize Bitcoin is open source and completely transparent and completely non-predatory in design, a real departure from our banking industry. Any assets moved into Bitcoin virtually disappear from the public record at this point and do not become taxable events until they are brought back into the system.

- Cannabis Cures Cancer?
11
Rick Simpson was a Systems Engineer for a hospital in Nova Scotia when he discovered the benefits of eating concentrated cannabis oil. When Simpson began treating people who were suffering from a wide variety of illnesses, including cancer, the Canadian government arrested him. Jack Herer initially asked me to cover Simpson's story, and I ended up writing the first major magazine article on him, which opened up a firestorm inside the legalization movement, prompting a "note of caution" from Dr. Lester Grinspoon. Over the last few years, new evidence has emerged to support Simpson, but little in the way of solid, verifiable evidence that could be used in a scientific paper. This eBook is an ever-developing overview of the cannabis and cancer controversy as it exists today and will be updated periodically as new information emerges.
