What happens when government surveillance targets ordinary Americans? The shadowy world of fusion centers represents one of the most concerning yet least understood aspects of our national security apparatus.

Built in the aftermath of 9/11 to improve intelligence sharing between agencies, these data hubs have morphed into something far more sinister. With minimal oversight and alarming financial incentives, fusion centers now collect vast amounts of information on millions of Americans – many with no connection to terrorism or criminal activity.

My own experience with fusion center targeting began after I declined a White House invitation and made political decisions that apparently landed me on their radar. What followed was textbook psychological warfare: subtle technology interference escalated to home break-ins where nothing was stolen but personal items were disturbed. Police surveillance became constant. Most devastatingly, people I trusted – even family members – were apparently recruited and compensated to participate in my monitoring and harassment.

This isn't conspiracy theory – it's documented reality. Government reports, lawsuits, and whistleblower testimony confirm that fusion centers have systematically expanded beyond their original mission. They've monitored environmental activists, journalists, and those who simply express dissenting political views. Their tactics, sometimes called "gang stalking," employ sophisticated psychological pressure designed to isolate, discredit, and destabilize targets.

The implications for democracy are profound. When government agencies can secretly target citizens without accountability, the impact extends beyond individual victims to threaten our collective freedom.

Have you ever realized your harshest critic is staring back at you in the mirror? This raw, unfiltered episode explores my unexpected journey to self-love after facing betrayal, false accusations, and twelve years of wandering the world with nothing but a backpack and faith.

The turning point came from the most unlikely source - the very person trying to destroy me. While working on Roster Runner, a project I poured myself into, I apologized profusely to Chris (my brother's friend who later filed false charges against me) for not accomplishing enough. His response changed everything: "Don't worry, no one can beat you up more than you beat yourself." This brutal truth forced me to confront my self-destructive patterns. Why was I continuing to harm myself when others had already caused enough damage?

My transformation didn't come from expensive skincare or filters (though my iPhone settings help!). The real change happened during eighteen months away from social media, dedicated entirely to healing. Now when people comment that I look better than I did twelve years ago despite everything I've endured, I know it's because I've broken the cycle of self-criticism. I wake up loving myself each morning, acknowledging my journey, and refusing to be my own enemy anymore. I recognize past mistakes but focus on fixing what I can in the present.

If you take one thing from this episode, let it be this: love yourself today and every day. You've been with yourself through everything - you deserve your own kindness more than anyone else's. What might change if you decided to become your own strongest ally instead of your worst critic?

PS this was actually a TikTok post that I thought fit here too.

The tables are turning on powerful institutions that have kept me silent for over six years. Drawing inspiration from a poker player who taught me the value of patience and perseverance, I've been carefully biding my time against what some might call the "Deep State" and Masonic organizations.

Throughout this episode, I reveal the surprising connections between Masonic symbols and law enforcement agencies, particularly sheriff's departments. Visit any bar in Cabo where officers leave their patches, and you'll notice a pattern hiding in plain sight. This recognition helped me understand why I became a target years ago, leading to my current situation - essentially serving a 10-year sentence of silence due to NDAs and potential legal threats.

My 50th birthday in May 2020 marked a particularly difficult moment. I had foolishly hoped that someone from my past might show basic human decency and reach out. Instead, the world erupted with COVID lockdowns and George Floyd protests while I remained isolated. Despite these challenges, I established Bascabo Tours LLC with my partner Mark, strategically structuring the business to provide some protection. During my time in Cabo, I helped numerous street vendors establish legitimate businesses online, building goodwill throughout the community.

Looking ahead, I'm preparing to file a lawsuit that will expose many of these experiences in detail. Future episodes of Surviving Changes will walk you through this legal process and explore the emotional and practical strategies I've developed to survive major life transitions. From living in a van to navigating complex psychological challenges, this podcast will serve as both documentation of my journey and a resource for anyone confronting powerful systems.
