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.

Amazon founder Bezos seeks free pass for his space company to contaminate Indian River Lagoon
By Staci-lee Sherwood In 2021 Jeff Bezos, founder of Blue Origin space tech company, sued NASA after losing a $2.9 billion contract to Elon Musk’s SpaceX. The irony is that SpaceX has had a LOT of failures. The lawsuit wasn’t about quality it was about something closer to home…ego. Now Bezos has set his sights on Florida. Lame duck Florida Governor Desantis and his very polluter friendly Florida Dept of Environmental Protection (FDEP) are about to give a free pass to bi

It’s time for horse-drawn carriages to be retired
By Staci-lee Sherwood Once an icon of New York and former days it’s time for what we know to be an abusive industry to be retired as many traditions have been once the cruelty as comes to light. As a lifelong New Yorker I did ride the carriages way back when I was a child and even then knew it was cruel. During a ride anyone could see the horrors for the horses if you looked closely. I grew up riding and training horses and have a lifelong love and understanding of them.

Florida’s FWC agency rife with questions about corruption & controversy
By Staci-lee Sherwood Another vote by Florida’s Fish Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has come to pass without any surprises in what many call a mock public hearing about bear hunting. It was more a dog and pony show than genuine public hearing because everyone already knew how the commission, made entirely of developers and hunters, would vote. Since January 2025 it was clear that a hunt of black bears was all but eminent. Under the ruse of management the proposed

Eric Sutton, FWC chief set to resign just before Florida anti lobby law kicks in
By Staci-lee Sherwood In a short email sent out December 21, 2022 Sutton says he’s leaving the agency he has led since 2017. The Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission (FWC) is often seen as the poster child for corruption, open hostility toward genuine environmentalists and animal lovers and fraud. Despite a staggering ½ billion dollar budget and their own nonprofit, their claims of saving wildlife fall flat. In fact most species are doing far worse than reported in the so c

Florida agency gets ½ BILLION budget & a ‘nonprofit’ but where does the money really go?
By Staci-lee Sherwood In the age of corruption you need not look any further than the state of Florida as a prime example. Just when you think you have heard it all, there’s Florida waiting in the wings with something even more outlandish. Their state wildlife agency, Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission (FWC) has brought the level of corruption to new heights. On the list of offenses are openly hunting endangered species like the Goliath Grouper, whose accurate population i

Sea Turtles die as world ‘experts’ sit back do next to nothing (pt 2/2 hot sand)
By Staci-lee Sherwood Sea Turtles have been around for about 100 million years but their prospects for another 100 million years look dim. In fact sea turtles might go the way of the dinosaurs before the end of this century if things don’t turn around soon. Three major factors have caused a drastic decline in their global population; light pollution and coastal development, plastic pollution and hot sand that only produce females. Any one of these could cause extinction bu

Sea Turtles die as world ‘experts’ sit back do next to nothing - light pollution (pt 1/2)
By Staci-lee Sherwood Most people wouldn’t look at a light bulb and think it’s a weapon of mass destruction. For newborn sea turtle hatchlings they can be. Death by light pollution is one of the biggest killers globally. To put it into perspective if the hatchlings were human and not reptile the millions killed every year would qualify as an immediate global threat to life. Action would be taken because humans value their own species above all else and, for the majority,

The truth about nonprofits - many are just ‘for’ profits hiding in plain site
By Staci-lee Sherwood It might come as a surprise to many that nonprofits have little to no government oversight or regulation. Anyone can form a non-profit. In the US there are an estimated 1.5 million and worldwide about 10 million. That means the US is home to the bulk of these organizations. Fraud among them runs rampant but the public is wholly unaware because there is no real mechanism to track fraudulent groups or prevent a CEO of one group from forming another. Re

Fall from grace – from saving wildlife to exploiting them for cash
By Staci-lee Sherwood Back in the 1990’s Defenders of Wildlife was the non-profit that got things done, at least for wolves. During the 90s they were the face of wolf conservation, helping to restore them back in Yellowstone National Park and Idaho. The group promoted a program for ranchers who lost livestock to verified predation were financially compensated. This helped smooth over some of the opposition to wolf re-introduction. That was 30 years ago. Since losing the

Wild Horse groups push to update 1971 law which has never been enforced…why now?
By Staci-lee Sherwood In 1971 the Wild Free-roaming Horses and Burros Act was passed. This was designed to guarantee all wild horses and burros living on public land freedom from any harassment from people or being sent to slaughter. It was suppose to spare nearly 50 million acres from development and keep as their unspoiled habitat. That has never happened. Over the years language in other legislation was changed in how wild horses were seen and managed. Federal agencies

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

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

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

Taxpayers can save $150 Million - defund Bureau of Land Mangmnt insanely wasteful Wild Horse program

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.

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
