Neville Hodgkinson is a British journalist who reported about AIDS conventionally in the mid-1980s as a medical correspondent for the London Sunday Times.  In a subsequent role as the Times' science correspondent, he wrote a series of articles questioning the HIV theory after hearing about the work of Prof. Peter Duesberg, Joan Shenton and others. In 1996, Neville published his book "AIDS: The Failure of Contemporary Science -- How a Virus that Never Has Deceived the World." The book has recently been republished under the title "How HIV\/AIDS Set the Stage for the Covid Crisis." The book includes recent data from the Australian Perth group of scientists who have argued that HIV has never been proven to exist as a unique infectious entity. Rather this research group claims it is a misinterpretation of signals from a compromised immune system. Due to his journalism, Neville was an early victim of cancel culture from early AIDS activists such as Larry Kramer who was aligned with Anthony Fauci. A seven-part series by Neville be found on the Conservative Woman website at www.conservativewoman.co.uk/author/nevillehodgkinson/

Hugh Turley is the co-author with David Martin of the first most thoroughly researched books about the assassination of the internationally revered American Catholic monk, pioneer in interfaith dialogue and anti-war and human rights activist Father Thomas Merton. Merton was also a prolific writer and poet, mostly on spiritual subjects-- perhaps the most important Catholic author in the 20th century. For over a decade Hugh has been following the clues leading to the murder of Father Merton 56 years ago in Bangkok Thailand on December 10th 1968 -- the same year as the assassinations of Robert Kennedy and Merton's friend and fellow civil rights activist Martin Luther King. His research has resulted in two publications "The Martyrdom of Thomas Merton" in 2018 and a follow up book last year "Thomas Merton's Betrayers: The case against Abbot James Fox and author John Howard Griffin". He also had a major investigative role in the publication of "The Murder of Vince Foster: America's Would-Be Dreyfus Affair". Hugh is  a volunteer columnist for the Hyattsville Life and Times, a winner of the National Newspaper Association award for best serious column, small circulation, and his day job is as a professional stage magician in the Washington DC area.

The book has already become a NY Times bestseller. Naomi's previous book is "The Bodies of Others: The New Authoritarians, Covid-19 and the War Against the Human" which unveils the forces of Big Tech, Big Pharma and an oligarchic elite to use the Covid-19 pandemic as an opportunity to revision our civilization against the will and freedoms of the people. Naomi graduated from Yale University and attended Oxford University as a Rhodes scholar where she later received a doctorate in English Language and Literature. In the past she has taught at Barnard College, Stoney Brook and George Washington University. She hosts a weekly program Daily Clout, which can be heard every Wednesday and Saturday at 1 pm Eastern Time on the Progressive Radio Network.

Jeremy Kuzmarov is Managing Editor of Covert Action Magazine, a 40-plus year old publication that hosts a number of extraordinary writers and journalists covering current events. He is the author of four books on U.S. foreign policy, including Obama’s Unending Wars (Clarity Press, 2019) and The Russians Are Coming, Again, with John Marciano. Jeremy recently researched an article, published in the journal Class, Race and Corporate Power -- entitled "The Liberal Savior as Conservative: JFK's Foreign Policy" --  that investigates the legacy of President John F Kennedy showing that the president was not the peace advocate as he is so frequently portrayed. As a consequence, JFK's legacy as the stalwart hero of global peace and being a non-interventionist is perhaps very flawed. The Magazine's website is CovertActionMagazine.com.
