I would avoid this section all together if I could, as who I am should be irrelevant to you. That knowledge is not needed to apply reason and critical thinking to the content in this blog. As a matter of fact, to assert anyone of my opinions or arguments are true simply based on my insights and subject matter expertise alone is to commit the logical fallacy of Appealing to Authority.
But the question might remain for some people, why should I even give this guy a chance? How do I know this guy knows what he is talking about? Who is this guy?
Fine!
I believe I can see things in a way most people can't. I have learned throughout my life that I am able to communicate in layman's terms to teach and explain complex concepts to others that they struggle to see on their own.

I know how the government works. I have spent my entire adult life supporting the Intelligence Community. I am the CEO of a company I started over 20 years ago, providing consulting services and creative solutions to the government.
I am extremely informed. I am constantly researching. I am an avid reader of non-fiction across a wide range of topics and sciences. I am a skeptic by nature. I apply scrutiny and critical thinking to evaluate solutions. I believe morality is tied to equal individual rights.
Some might classify me as gifted, and maybe I am by statistical standards. My creativity is off the charts and I have a high IQ. I am a member of Mensa. I have been successful throughout my life in developing and implementing solutions where others have failed.
But does any of that matter when reading the articles in this blog and evaluating the legitimacy of the arguments?
It shouldn't. As unorthodox as my opinions are, you should be basing the validity of my arguments on logic and critical thinking.
