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.

Are you wearing fashion or heavy metals in your clothes? How would you know?
By Staci-lee Sherwood If the phrase ‘clothes make the man’ what does it mean if the man is wearing clothes made with more heavy metals than cotton or linen? For thousands of years humans wore natural fabrics albeit from animals, but they didn’t have toxic chemicals in them. Everything we come into contact with we absorb through our skin, the largest organ we have, along with our mouth, nose and tongue. That means every food, drink, beauty product and clothing affects our

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

Toxic nation: how the US government allows its citizens to be poisoned
By Staci-lee Sherwood In the wake of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recent decision to add two more toxic chemicals to the food supply let’s examine what is already sprayed on US food. It’s estimated the US food supply uses about 10,000 chemicals but who knows if that is a low ball number. If you want to play it safe when food shopping, ask yourself if this is something people would have eaten in 1900. If the answer is no then it’s processed with chemicals an

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

Florida set for 2025 Bear hunt (massacre) despite public outcry
By Staci-lee Sherwood When one thinks of bears they often think of the fuzzy cubs with the bright curious eyes and funny antics of tree climbing. As sweet as bears look they can be a force of nature, which is how Mother Earth designed it. How Americans came to fall in love with bears is an often misquoted story. In 1902 big game hunter former President Teddy Roosevelt was on a bear hunt with other hunters. They tied a bear to a tree and encouraged Roosevelt to shoot t

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

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

The power of advocacy
By Staci-lee Sherwood The world today is a mess, perhaps this is the one universal sentiment we can all agree on. Many people want to change what they see as inhumane, misguided or wasteful policies. Those are advocates looking to change the world. It’s a daunting task to attempt to shift public opinion, especially long held beliefs. Amidst the daily borage of sad, disgusting and dangerous news there are a few bright spots that give hope. Perhaps humanity is not entirely

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 - 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

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

RED DESERT SIEGE UPON LIFE * LAND & LIBERTY DEMOCRACY DIES IN THE DESERT *Guest writer*
By: Pamela Lynn True & Craig C. Downer 12/11/2020 My treasures do not clink together or glitter. They gleam in the sun and neigh in the night. -Arab proverb For half a century now, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) have been managing our wild horses and burros nearly to the point of extinction. They have been succumbing to outrageous demands by public lands ranchers, oil, gas and mining corporations and other exploitive interests, while

Madmen of the prairie: making millions killing America’s wild horses & burros
By Staci-lee Sherwood The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is often referred to as the most corrupted of the agencies that fall under the Dept of Interior jurisdiction. It’s a massive agency of thousands of employees charged with overseeing hundreds of millions of acres of public land. They’re also in charge of leasing for oil and gas exploration and for the livestock prog ram. The wild horse & burro program is probably this agency’s most notorious program because of its que

Ghosts of the grassland : why decision makers ignore the massive damage done by grazing cows
By Staci-lee Sherwood What is a ghost? To most people a ghost is something they can sense can feel they know is there but can’t completely see. Step into the world of wild horse advocacy and it quickly becomes clear that cows, and other livestock, seem to be like ghosts. Only in this situation they can be seen but politicians and government employees choose to not see them as if they were ghosts. A mythical creature causing damage yet seemingly unseen by those in charge.
