And then there were nine…
Below is a compilation of the first nine American Monsters, and it’s truly an American horror story.
I infantilized the US in some respects, believing that by exposing US traitors serving foreign enemies there would be a massive growing awareness that millions had been duped. Instead, I underestimated just how many people are comfortable with corruption — perhaps they are corrupt in their own lives — how many businesses think that fascism would be good for their bottom line — how many media platforms are obeying in advance.
Nevertheless, she persisted…
You will find the first nine reports from the American Monster series in the order in which they were written. Audio versions for members of each print report can be found in the podcast section.
We continue to be in a hot psychological war, and I am grateful for your support as I do this work. If you appreciate the time and effort that goes into this work, please consider a membership.
No. 1 — Paul Manafort

Paul Manafort was born privileged. Unlike many felons I interviewed over the years, whose mothers dropped them on their heads and they had to learn some survival skills, that’s not Paul Manafort’s story. When I worked as an investigative reporter in broadcast news

No. 7 — Rudy Giuliani
American Monster: Rudy Giuliani — ‘A Dictator In Search of a Balcony’
“Truth isn’t truth.”—Rudy Giuliani, American Monster Meet the Press — a platform for US traitors to bullhorn Kremlin talking points — invited Trump’s public defender Rudy Giuliani on TV to lie to America. The date was August 19, 2018. Giuliani, who still had some pocket lint of credibility in uninformed circles, was present to obfuscate truth. Trump, his uniquely criminal loss-leader was in the headwinds of the Mueller investigation and though he’d never met a camera he didn’t like, he demurred the request to testify in front of Robert Mueller.
