Welcome to my blog where fraud, lies and corruption are uncovered wherever they hide. Government, non-profits, media and corporations have many secrets and this is where they are exposed. This is where people go for the truth. There is a real need for more watchdog groups. Check out the Resources & Links page for links to find your federal reps, government agencies and other websites packed with important information. The About page has links to some of the testimony and interviews I've given over the years. It's not all bad news I do highlight people and organizations that genuinely contribute to the greater good and deserve recognition.

EV mania – do electric cars really live up to the promise of clean green tech?
By Staci-lee Sherwood In September 2022 the California Governor Gavin Newsom said the unthinkable, that he wanted the state to have gas free cars. Even more shocking is the timetable of just a few years for this to happen. We as a country have been sending rockets into space for over half a century and built the International Space Station so it’s well within our doing to invent a way to have gas free cars. The political will and oil industry push back will be the deciding

Legal bribery? Federal agencies have their own ‘non profit' with corporate polluters as donors
By Staci-lee Sherwood Every year the ritual of battling over the budget takes center stage in the nation’s capitol. There is the usual list of politicians posturing for their donors. Each agency and department make the trip to the Hill to make their plea for more tax dollars. They bring a list of programs they point to as justification for the invariable increase. The one thing most American can agree on despite political or religious leaning is that the federal governmen

THE FUZZY BEE a poem warning of their extinction
THE FUZZY BEE Does the fuzzy bee know As she drinks the sweet nectar Mother Earth has provided That she carries the weight of the world On her delicate wings Does she know without her kind We humans would perish Taking her and all others with us Into the black hole of nothing Without a thought for the fuzzy bee Does she know she is the regal Queen On which all others depend As she carries the pollen of life Upon her tiny legs Without a care We need the fuzzy bee But she doesn

Oil addiction will be our demise – is 'green' tech green (pt 4/4)
By Staci-lee Sherwood Over the years there have been hundreds of studies, documentaries and articles put out warning of the train wreck we’re on. We have had decades to come up with alternatives to oil. Options that are cleaner, safer, cheaper and less politically volatile could be out there waiting to be discovered or invented, if only we had the will. There aren’t any true clean sustainable alternatives, they all have a negative impact in some form. We have wasted preciou

Oil addiction will be our demise - paying the price (pt 3/4)
By Staci-lee Sherwood Nothing in life is free everything has a price. For the modern world the price of oil comes in many forms. Many political, environmental, economical and health costs can be traced back to the black gold discovered nearly two centuries ago. The gooey substance that bubbles out of the earth goes through many stages before it becomes an end product. Crude oil is refined to make gasoline but products made from plastic, vinyl and rubber go through several

Oil addiction will be our demise – spills and lawsuits (pt 2/4)
By Staci-lee Sherwood If the media were to report on every spill, leak and accident that occurred in real time, they would need a designated team and report on nothing else. The public is rarely told about these until after the fact. If there was a weekly list posted for everyone to see, only the industry would still support this antiquated way of getting to an energy source. The damage done to the planet we live on can never be undone. The illusion of cleanups is theatre

Oil addiction will be our demise - 50 years of warnings (pt 1/4)
By Staci-lee Sherwood In 1859 the first successful well was drilled in Titusville, PA. Col. Edwin Drake had made a remarkable discovery, one that would change the world forever. He found crude oil, Black Gold. Up until then coal was king but now there was a shiny gooey new toy on the market and everyone wanted a piece. Who could have known all the uses, all the destruction and all the wars this substance would cause. The history of oil and all the wars and crisis that incu

Industries of equine abuse
By Staci-lee Sherwood Equines are the most abused of any species. Wild or domesticated their abuse comes in a wide array of torture. Whether it’s the sporting industry, hunting or Big Pharma there seems no escape for equines. For some the abuse and death come quickly while others can suffer for years with unattended injuries and health problems. The horse gets the most attention but their cousins; burros, donkeys and zebras also suffer at the hands of humans. Equines all

Dragons of the sea

Taxpayers can save $150 Million - defund Bureau of Land Mangmnt insanely wasteful Wild Horse program
By Staci-lee Sherwood Imagine if the government took the unprecedented step of not wasting tax dollars? The Bureau of Land Management has been wasting hundreds of millions of dollars on programs proven to not work. Yet decades go by with continued increases in annual budgets. Their Wild Horse and Burro program isn’t just cruel to the animals it’s cruel to taxpayer’s who know their hard earned money could be better spent. Think of upgrading infrastructure, funding public scho

And just like that wild horse death toll stops, as BLM continues false claims about Canon City
By Staci-lee Sherwood A more apropos title for this piece might be the lying liars and the lies they tell. On June 15, 2022 the Bureau of Land MISmanagment (BLM) hosted what is best described as a state sponsored propaganda zoom event. Elijah Waters, Steve Hill and Alan Bitter were too cowardly to answer any real questions while Stephanie Connolly played the weak leader. No one was surprised when they preferred their pre scripted excuses and softball platitudes to the trut

Are you REALLY getting factual news or just words on paper?
By Staci-lee Sherwood The word newspaper implies there is timely news printed on the paper that you buy. Who determines what is newsworthy has always been subjective but never more than today. Part of the problem is massive consolidation of newspapers, and magazines, under one umbrella corporation. Another problem is the internet where anyone can set up a site proclaiming ‘news’. Arguably the amount of fake news might have eclipsed real news. Despite an easier ability to f

Crowds, condos and trash take their toll on beach nesting shorebirds
By Staci-lee Sherwood Since the 1970s it’s estimated that shorebird populations have plummeted a whopping 70% in North America with some species hit harder. Adding to polluted water, loss of habitat and natural predation we have newer problems especially here in Florida. The problems facing shorebirds are global though some issues are more prevalent in certain areas. The one constant is that human encroachment is on the rise as shorebird populations are on the decline

It’s a watershed moment for ‘brother wolf’ and Native Americans
By Staci-lee Sherwood For centuries the wolf had a special place both in symbolism and reality for Native Americans. The iconic wolf played an integral part in their lives. Almost every creation story includes them. They were seen as protectors and ancestors, living beings Native Americans were destined to co-exist with. This balance lasted for thousands of years. This shared bond and respect thrived until North America had a new predator, settlers from England. European

Conservation done right: saving land from developers for much loved Bald Eagles
By Staci-lee Sherwood During the 1950s the expression urban sprawl started to make its way into mainstream conversations. It would many more years before the ill effects of urban sprawl would become apparent. The city of Pembroke Pines in Florida, once agriculture land with dairy farms, experienced their own population boom and with it came sprawl and a race to develop. This small city has a story to tell of how it’s trying to tackle a big global problem of overdevelopment.

Is the PZP cartel’s plan more driven by money or saving wild horses?
By Staci-lee Sherwood When a person hears the word ‘cartel’ they envision violent men armed with assault rifles selling contraband in dark alleys. The image of smiling housewives carrying rifles does not come to mind, nor does men in suits, fit the Hollywood image. Drug cartels thrive on fear, scare tactics and emotional triggers. Mix this with a healthy dose of ego and ignorance and you have the perfect cocktail to manipulate unsuspecting targets. For those who disagree an

Did wild horse ‘advocate’ groups sign letter to Biden giving BLM excuse for roundups?
By Staci-lee Sherwood Did they really not read or understand what they were signing? A letter sent to President Biden on May 23, 2021. This contains damaging language that should never be inserted in a letter about wild horse management. Perhaps this is why all the links to the letter are no longer accessible to the inquiring public. The letter has an amazing 1200 groups and individuals sign on so why has it been removed from public access? Marty Irby wrote the dreadful lett
