I am - to use the title of the last job I had - a sixty-eight-year-old retired systems architect. I had it for eighteen years or so and probably would have continued working at for several more years had I not fallen into the hands of the Medical Industry.

Except for a couple of brief periods of unemployment - about five or six weeks in each case - I have been working and paying taxes since I was about seventeen. I have never received any kind of government assistance, even when I was unemployed I did not apply for unemployment benefits. I have never committed a crime or any legal transgression beyond a traffic infraction or two.

I served for four years in the U. S. Air Force and had a stellar record - straight nine APRs, a commendation medal and promotion to E-5 in the minimum time allowed by regulations. I passed an investigation for a Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) security clearance. I was often assigned special duties requiring a person of my specialty with such a clearance.

After my brief military service I worked in the IT industry as it is called these days. I worked for three companies and was a top-level key person in each. One was a division of a multi-billion dollar company and the final one involved building a mom-and-pop business into one with millions in annual revenue.

I have never - in sixty five years - been diagnosed with any sort of mental illness or even suspected of or recommended for examination for such a condition. In the three years since the events described herein I have not been suspected of any mental illness even though the treatment to which I was subjected can in fact cause such injury.

In other words I am about as normal as any person you will ever meet and am not given to conspiracy theories or imagining things. I can provide numerous witnesses to confirm this. I say all of this because if I were presented with the following narrative I would be tempted to believe that it was at the very least exaggerated if not complete fabrication. As it happens I can prove every word of it.
