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

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.

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

Seashells, a warming ocean and a bleak prediction for the future of marine life
By Staci-lee Sherwood Years ago strolling along the beach often meant collecting sea shells that had washed up on the shoreline. This was considered a passive yet enjoyable pastime. As more people started their own collection an industry started to emerge dedicated to selling sea shells from all over the world. Few consumers gave thought about how the sea shell came to be formed or what their role was in the ecosystem. Not many would have thought of sea shells as abandoned

Scientists are not activists - the glaring difference between Science and Scientists
By Staci-lee Sherwood Most people confuse science with scientist and it’s an easy jump to make. Science at its core is simple and pure. The pursuit for answers is all it really is. How one goes about that pursuit is often controversial as are the conclusions that come from it. The dictionary defines science as ‘the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and e

Madmen of the prairie: making millions killing America’s wild horses & burros

Grazed to death : How the Livestock Grazing program on public lands cause dead zones & extinctions
By Staci-lee Sherwood For most Americans getting dinner means going shopping at the market or calling in a takeout order. Few have any idea where their food comes from or all that goes into getting it on their table. For many the lifecycle of food from cradle to grave would be a shocker; economically, politically and ethically. First let’s look at the true cost of livestock. This factors in many things not usually listed on the recipe given for the public to digest. Those
