On July 5, 2003, I penned an essay entitled Sons of Freedom, Sons of War. This piece of writing described my thoughts and feelings about the State College, Pa. Fourth of July fireworks display I had watched the previous night. Upon completion, as was customary, I circulated this essay to various political websites around the Internet, and it was subsequently published on several independent media and anti-NWO venues. One of the first individuals I submitted it to was Jeffrey Bennett, who edits The Federal Observer. This piece remains in the archives of Bennett's website (as well as other places on the Internet) Sons of Freedom, Sons of War.

At that time I also sent this essay - with my name clearly shown as the author - to Internet publisher Jeff Rense. However, Rense did not post the piece on his website. But lo and behold, two years later on July 4th, 2005, I once again e-mailed this essay to a few close friends, and posted it on two political Internet groups to which I belong. I didn't give the piece another thought until early this morning - July 6, 2005 - when I opened an e-mail from a friend in New York telling me that this same essay was now featured on Rense’s website - without my name on it as the author. Below this piece, my e-mail signature - a quote from Thomas Paine - had also been posted as if the entire essay - as well as the Paine quote - had been copied-and-pasted and subsequently posted right on Rense's website. I was also a little puzzled when I saw the name "Jim" below the Paine quote being listed as the “author”.

I'd seen some strange material on Rense.com before - things like disinfo hit pieces written by fictitious writers, articles that were textually out of context or factually incorrect, and of course, articles published by "anonymous" writers. But this latest nonsense really took the cake. Now Jeff Rense was running my articles; except, of course, without including my name...

Anyway, I e-mailed Jeff Rense, as did several other people who recognized that it was indeed my essay. Rense was politely asked by each of us to please add my name to the text, since he had been displaying it on his website since July 5, 2005.(Rense snapshot)

Since that time, I have received no reply from GCN Company Man Jeff Rense. Worse, rather than simply adding my name to a piece I had written and originally submitted to him more than two years ago, he chose instead to completely remove the essay without a word - no apology, no explanation, no nothing.

Am I to conclude that Jeff Rense simply publishes written works without even knowing - or caring - who the author is? The essay in question was widely circulated around the Internet when it first appeared in 2003, and was picked up by various websites at the time. No one to date has ever removed my name from an article I had written - until now - when my writing made a brief appearance on Rense.com.

This is a little too much like deja vu, isn't it? Where - and with whom - have we all seen this before? What we're seeing here mirrors the exact same tactics used by GCN Company Man Alex Jones when he removed my writing from his site, and also censored other people's material referencing my articles. Very, very interesting, Mr. Rense; and also very pathetic. It seems like you and Alex lift your dirty tricks out of the same playbook. And do you know what? It really makes you look bad because you could have been a stand-up guy and simply added my name to MY ARTICLE; but instead you showed your true colors, just like the title of this article implies. And we all know what color that is: YELLOW!
