John Wilson

This archive documents the long-standing efforts of John Wilson to hold the DOJ and FBI to account. It's a chilling account of political retribution as stark and dystopian as any in Kafka. It follows FBI retribution after a work report Wilson authored in March 1996 as a Wall Street mining analyst critical of US mining behemoth Freeport-McMoRan's activities at the Grasberg mine in West Papua, Indonesia. At the time, the company was under investigation by the US State Department following eye-witness allegations it was involved in the killing of Indigenous protestors. At least seven other professionals were targeted at this time in retribution for their work critical of Freeport. The federal insurance agency OPIC had recently cancelled Freeport's political risk policy citing environmental concerns. It was a major embarrassment for Freeport and the first time in OPIC's 25-year history that it had canceled a policy. Henry Kissinger (former US Secretary of State) and James Woolsey (former CIA Director) were advisors to Freeport in 1996. They were in Washington DC desperately lobbying to have Freeport's rescinded policy re-instated. Through letters, Declarations and court documents, Wilson recounts FBI tactics to target "dissidents" that include the use of secret surveillance, cancel culture, and gas lighting - furtive activities that undermines American democracy. Adding a twist to the tale, and background on the FBI's secretive programs, John Wilson's long-term girlfriend at the time was a professional environmentalist and an undercover FBI agent. It was also one of his key relationships the FBI targeted. Note: The book comprises around 50 pages of background and summary narrative in the front, and an extensive archive-appendix in the back (from page 62) that contains supporting documents and records.

Will Abel succeed in breaking free from the only life he's ever known, or will the allure of darkness prove too strong to resist? A Shadow of Black Water is a gripping tale of self-discovery and redemption, depicting one young man's struggle to carve out his true identity before it's lost to the chaos of the criminal realm.

First published in 1977, Philosophy and Practical Education attempts to relate philosophy with education. It deals with themes like school, discipline, authority, curriculum, subjects, autonomy etc. to 1) discuss topics which are necessarily of direct practical concern to teachers and educators; 2) to showcase that an increase in our conceptual clarity suggests, fairly unambiguously, certain kinds of practical action; and as 3) they have not been properly dealt with in existing philosophical literature. This book is an essential read for educators, teachers, and curriculum developers.
