Most everyone experiences life-changing events - large or small - that forever shape their view of the world. For me, it was the discovery of my biological parents several years ago and all the blessings that have flowed from that discovery. Social media is rightfully criticized for its negative effects on society, but I credit social media for the rude awakening I received in 2023 when I happened across a social media group dedicated to "Okinawa and Agent Orange". Since I was stationed in Okinawa the group's title caught my eye. Thus began a long journey down a rabbit hole that shattered my conception of military service and exposure to deadly poisons. It was quite a sobering revelation. What I have learned should shock the conscience of every American. I am justifiably proud of my service in the USAF and wouldn't trade my time Okinawa for all the sake in... Okinawa. That said, there are inconsistencies in the documents included here that I found disturbing. Over the years I have developed a keen sense for what we Texans jokingly refer to as "pasture pudding", and I have opined on some of these assertions. In the end, it is my hope that the DoD, the Veterans Administration, the Pentagon, and the citizens of Okinawa will find the information useful.

If you ask someone how our world, we and everything in it were created; if you get an answer at all, it may be either a religious explanation based on faith and sacred scripture: Torah, Bible or Qur'an; or a secular explanation based on science: cosmology, particle physics, evolutionary biology and neuropsychology. The rivalry between faith and reason to explain the creation of the universe, life on earth and the meaning of human existence is long standing but has become ever more focused as scientific discoveries have been able to explain much that was previously believed to be the work of supernatural forces: God or gods. Yet the mysteries of the expanding universe, quantum physics and human consciousness remain. The ambitious aim of the symposium is to provide a guide to all of us who are perplexed about the reality of the universe and our existence in it. The symposium will comprise eight sessions spread over four days: cosmology; life; 'STRUTH records an imaginary symposium of scientists, philosophers and theologians, each eminent in their field, who have been invited to make presentations and have discussions to see if there is any common ground between faith and reason; science and religion. Each perplexed existence jogs along nervously, sandwiched between past and future. "What am I now? How did I get here? What does it all mean? What will happen?"
