These conversations with the Insider uncovered a quiet and brilliant conspiracy taking place among the clean and tidy bureaucrats in Washington.

A conspiracy that would change the very structure, the very balance of power and the very form of government in our nation.

We talked, discussed, analyzed, and dissected every implication of everything we uncovered. Intended and unintended consequences to our nation, all falling within the fine lines of law, all falling below, above, and between those fine lines of law.

When the Insider suggested I go around the country, to meetings where the men and women from Washington were hatching their plots, I asked why I should go. The Insider just said, "To be a witness. There is never anyone from the public at these meetings. And the nation needs a witness. The nation needs to know."

Well, the last letter of the first and last words of the Shema, the holiest prayer for Jews, spell the word "witness" in Hebrew. We take this to mean that we are witnesses to the power and the law of Gd.

So when I was asked to be a witness, I went.


On my first witness trip I was overwhelmed by what I saw. Everything I had been reading about, talking about with The Insider, writing about, came to life before my eyes. It was like confronting the monster you've been describing in terrifying campfire tales. And I was not prepared at all for this. It was like a sucker punch; it left me breathless.

There, in their clean little rooms, in their clean suits and pressed white shirts, these seemingly benign bureaucrats used PowerPoint presentations and white boards to sketch out their plans to permanently subvert America's free and open democratic elections.

There is no spy thriller that can compete with the very real, very dangerous, very scary, and extraordinarily treasonous plotting and planning to which - at the time - I alone -- the Outsider - bore witness.

I ran from the meetings and locked myself in my cheap hotel room with a cheap bottle of wine.

I witnessed, I listened, I studied, I researched, I learned, and I wrote about it.

Afterwards, I said to The Insider, "Watching these meetings makes me think of Germany in the 1930's. I'm sure there were clean-shirted and suited-up bureaucrats sitting around talking quietly and confidently with scientists and industrialists, proposing and discussing specifications for the exact motor power needed to push the gas through the vents of their showers."

All very civilized. All very legal. And all very lethal.

Some condemn me for making this comparison here in our America.

But when a small group of unknown and invisible people control the outcome of America's elections, bad things do happen. Things like war, torture, attrition.

I said to The Insider, "I have a pretty low bar for judging people, to know if I should trust them or not. I ask myself, "what would they do if they came for the Jews?'"
