Back by popular demand: Falcon’s follies ~ Gateway,SFPR and the Railgate connection.
Indeed, with the revelations brought forward by Vicky Huntington and other dedicated researchers on the ALR land being optioned in Delta...there has been increasing attention around several older posts of mine. You can find them all here under the BEST OF page, under the Falcon's Follies series... which leads into another series about Shadow tolls on the Sea …
“Practical politics consists of ignoring facts.” ~ Henry Adams
I am here, I am alive and no, I am not an undercover operative for a federal investigation...although that did give me a laugh. The Gateway story is still very much the object of my attention, to the point where every free moment I have had over the past couple of weeks has been dedicated to that …
