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.

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

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

The new emerging phenomenon of the eco refugee
By Staci-lee Sherwood Climate change, climate denial, global warming, global cooling. Call it what you want the planet is shouting at us. We have ignored the warning signs for decades but we can no longer ignore what is happening right now. What started out decades ago as muted warnings of the future have turned into blaring bull horns. Politicians waste time spinning whatever tales fit their agenda but we are out of time if we don’t want to go down with the sinking ship c

Afghanistan: twenty years and $2 trillion later we circle back to pre 9/11
Taliban fighters take control of the Afghanistan presidential palace after the president Ashraf Ghani fled the country on Sunday © AP By Staci-lee Sherwood Failed presidents failed policies Prior to 2001 most Americans looked upon Afghanistan as little more than a third world country where the masses lived in rural areas with dust covered tents. Their most famous commodity came from the opium poppy flower. In 1980 Ronald Reagan had just been elected and we were engaged in

Buying the media: when facts are traded to the highest bidder
By Staci-lee Sherwood Public perception of media has changed over the years but one thing has stayed constant, the assumption and hope that most reporting is fact based. Over the past few decades consolidation of companies has shrunk down to near incestuous size where a meager 6 corporate giants now own approximately 90% of media (radio, tv and print). That type of influence comes with a hefty price tag but the ultimate price is paid by the unsuspecting consumer. For newsp

Inside the Big Cat trade : Tiger cub petting, Lion meat and ‘The Conservation Game’
By Staci-lee Sherwood Please don’t pet me Who doesn’t love baby animals. Go on any social media site and you’ll see time and again some of the most popular videos and posts involve baby animals. There’s something sweet and appealing that draws us in. Does anyone ever stop to think how this animal came to be in the photo? Just a lucky shot by a passer by or perhaps this is a posed photo op designed to get as many ‘likes’ as possible ? Before the internet we only had televisio

Is the investigative journalist a thing of the past ?
By Staci-lee Sherwood For many people who came of age watching the evening news and reading the morning newspaper it sure feels like they have gone the way of the dinosaurs or at least are on that path. I remember years ago the news industry wasn’t so hesitant about publishing the truth even if it meant outing a sponsor or friend. Of course this practice has always been a delicate balance between power players who owned newspapers and their friend
