  • The $30 Billion Secret The Government Doesn’t Want You To Know

    The $30 Billion Secret The Government Doesn’t Want You To Know
    Dec 4 2024
    This true crime story is not about a heist pulled off by a notorious bank robber or a cunning scam artist—but an audacious act of bureaucratic theft that spans generations. It’s an audacious act of bureaucratic theft that spans generations. Picture this: over $30 billion in matured U.S. savings bonds, investments made with trust and patriotism, are sitting unclaimed. The rightful heirs, families like mine and maybe even yours, are stonewalled by the very institution that promised to safeguard these assets. The U.S. Treasury, armed with meticulous records of bondholders, holds fast to those names while demanding impossible proof—a serial number—to claim what’s rightfully ours. It’s a $30 billion heist orchestrated through silence and red tape. Join me as I unravel this true crime story of broken promises, frustrated heirs, and the relentless pursuit of justice. Because sometimes, the biggest heists don’t happen in the dead of night—they happen in plain sight, sanctioned by those who are supposed to protect us. Make Your Voice Heard!

  • Baby Face Nelson: The Boy Who Became America’s Most Ruthless Killer

    Baby Face Nelson: The Boy Who Became America’s Most Ruthless Killer
    Nov 5 2024
    In the blood-soaked pantheon of Depression-era gangsters, one killer stood apart - not for his height, but for his face. Witnesses consistently described him as looking like "an angel," with bright blue eyes and features so youthful that bank tellers often mistook him for a teenage messenger boy. That angelic countenance masked the soul of perhaps the most efficient killer in gangster history. Baby Face Nelson didn't just rob banks - he hunted FBI agents for sport, kept a list of their license plates, and giggled like a schoolboy while gunning them down. He was a member of John Dillinger’s gang and replaced him as Public Enemy Number One. This isn't the story of another charming outlaw like Bonnie and Clyde - it's the tale of a cherub-faced psychopath who turned Depression-era America into his personal killing ground.

  • Sextortion Is Why Social Media Scares Me For The Safety Of Our Children

    Sextortion Is Why Social Media Scares Me For The Safety Of Our Children
    Oct 28 2024
    We used to fear sexual predators stalking our neighborhoods, ready to snatch our children off the streets. We called it “Stranger Danger”. But “Stranger Danger” has moved online with Sextortion schemes on the social media platforms and gaming apps our children use daily. Organized crime rings now prowl the internet, tricking teenagers into sharing explicit images through these familiar channels. Once they have those images, the nightmare begins. These criminals blackmail their victims, threatening to expose the photos and videos to friends, family, and the public unless they pay the extortion demand. Fear and shame overwhelm the teenage victims, driving some to suicide. In response, a pair of Texas Detectives known as the “Catfish Cops” troll these dangerous waters, sinking their hooks into predators before they can destroy more lives.
