Welcome to Wonderland

Welcome to Operation Rabbit Hole.

Here's the deal: America is in trouble. Our Congress no longer trusts their own Congressional Research Service...and I know why. When I petitioned Congress to take action in Fukushima, I was shown the classified CRS file on Japan's nuclear disaster, and it did not even mention Reactor Four. That information never got to Congress, and now you and I are breathing the effect of this mistake.

I recently received a coded message...
Congress has questions, and they need answers they can depend upon. When things are dark, when America, the world's greatest superpower, is in trouble, who ya gonna call? FBWA.

What follows are more than twenty posts, each on a topic that Congress wants answers to. Each has a certain mystery, a certain depth and darkness about it....sort of like a deep, dark hole....in fact, a rabbit hole. Congress wants answers to these dark mysteries so they will be able to make good decisions.

We will operate under our natural cover, investigative journalists writing for a college magazine--we are just harmless college students. Our instructions are to NEVER contact Congress directly. We will simply publish our findings in our online magazine, the campus REVIEW...and the people in Washington will do the rest.

Think of these as rabbit holes.

We need our best people on this.

Look into each of these topics so that you can match your natural interests and skills to the material. Check them out in any order that  seems interesting. You have only about a month to complete an in-depth evaluation of the issue you choose to cover--an issue that our Congress sees as potentially explosive (though they have not shared with me exactly how, in some cases...)  They have asked us to find answers for a lot of mysteries and we will do our best...so start reading all these rabbit holes,  peek into all of them--the idea is for you to  know them all, see where each one goes, and then decide which is the one you want to explore deeper. In each case, there is a whole world down at the end of the tunnel...and in most cases it is a dark, strange world.

Ultimately, you will be exploring one of these in Great Depth...but for now, just find out where the tunnel leads. Remember: a high school essay tells what you find; a college essay tells what it might mean, but an FBWA Top Secret Investigation saves the world from evil.

As you dig deeper into these topics, look for patterns of meaning, and think about what these patterns indicate, where the evidence seems to point... eventually, you should choose a  topic that will make a fun final project, which might include making a movie, a play, a screenplay, a website, a new nation, an essay...what you ultimately produce is something we will be talking about more as we get into the final project. So start diving into these "rabbit holes," ....but  remember how to find your way back to the surface.

PS: Ummm....I have not exactly told you everything....remember TWA Flight 800, back in 1996? Congress learned a lesson from that. Nobody wants to be eliminated in that way....so they do not want to call attention to their investigations--that is the real reason they are using the FBWA instead of the CRS. As you investigate these issues, Trust NOBODY. Always sit with your back to a solid, bulletproof surface.

Welcome to Operation Rabbit Hole. Have Fun...and Good luck.
