What are you willing to sacrifice for your beliefs?
There are a million reasons to stay in America, but only one reason to leave:
Internationally, the United States is the most violent country in the world. My career ambitions are two pronged in 2020. First, I either will work for a Russian think tank such as the Russian Institute for Strategic Studies (RISS) in consulting or writing policy papers on how Russia can subvert the United States economically. Alternatively we will create our own state-sanctioned Russian think tank to abolish copyright in Russia among other activities. I anchor much of what I seek to accomplish in the inspiring turn of events of May 1787, in which only twelve London men formed the Society for Effecting the Abolition of the Slave Trade and abolished slavery in the British Empire worldwide within one generation. As the late anthropologist Margaret Mead states, Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has. Today, war can be abolished the same way that slavery was two hundred years ago. This firm belief in peace is based on a long history of living abroad. I was living in Odessa, Ukraine in the Peace Corps when the terrorists hit the World Trade Center. I had an Arab friend from Dubai who was the kindest, most honorable, most incredible man I have ever met in my entire life. A couple of days after 9/11, I was walking on the warm promenade of the port city of Odessa with Jaz. In a low tone that was so foreign, he said, "If they [Americans] come to my country, I will kill them". I was shocked, how could the gentlest man I ever met hate America so much? That question haunted me even after I returned to America. After the Peace Corps, I earned a Juris Doctorate concurrent with a Masters in International Relations. In law school I wrote what would later become my second published book "America’s Other War, Terrorizing Colombia" which was published in 2017. To answer why my gentle Arab friend hated America, I wrote a SPSS white paper called, “Why do They Hate Us? Origins of Anti-Americanism A Framework for Analysis”. |

Helping support the Guatemala syphilis experiment lawsuitI passed the D.C. law bar in 2009 and started my legal career with the US Federal Government in DC. The breaking point with this job was I was working with another attorney to defend the government in the Guatemala syphilis experiment case, a case in which United States government doctors intentionally and covertly infected Guatemalans with syphilis. I quit shortly afterward in disgust. After years of research and writing, I decided the only way to influence American foreign policy was outside of the United States. I moved back to Moscow in September 2018. |
