WTF?

“Smoke and Mirrors” has become a mantra of mine over the years. From my life experience I have found that so much of what we see, hear, feel, taste and experience in our “OZ” world, is in all actuality a façade. Don’t get me started on quantum field theory or entanglement or intelligent life. There goes a weekend at least!
On any of our “normal” days, what we all tend to experience, is really just “Smoke and Mirrors” with the systems we all live within, as they try to keep their curtains carefully closed from the masses. Knowing this gives most people anxiety. We’ve all seen those commercials for some new drug designed to help with anxiety or something. Anything. Just ask your doctor (you know, the one who gets paid commission on the sale of the new drug) if you need to take that drug. Or, worse yet, most people just stick their heads in the sand as the world burns around them.
However, I like to look deeper into things and see the internal dynamics of systems and their interrelations. I’m the guy who likes to pull back the curtain to understand what is really going on and I feel compelled to expose how things really work.
So, I created “Smoke and Mirrors…and the art of critical thinking.” I welcome you to join today! Doing so will secure that you don’t miss anything posted including the insightful information on crypto and other research, podcasts, new books, music, poetry, and so much more.

Allow me to formally introduce myself, my name is Douglas J Boggs. I am the writer of numerous books, including the critically acclaimed “Quantum of Justice”. Other hats I’ve worn include: CEO, CFA, entrepreneur, crypto investor, blog/podcaster, real estate investor/developer/consultant, nationally certified Bloomberg Forensic Loan Securitization Auditor/Analyst/Expert witness.
I urge you to get yourself a copy of my critically acclaimed book “Quantum of Justice” today! It is the real life story of my lawsuit, where I acted as my own attorney, arguing against the behemoth financial institution Wells Fargo Bank, for fraud. The four year long litigation went through CA Superior, CA Appellate, CA State Supreme courts, as well as, Federal District, IRS, and Unlawful Detainer courts.
It is a telling truth of the David and Goliath myth in today’s setting! It exposes the fraud and corruption of Wall Street, and the complicit nature of financial, judicial and legislative corruption against the American people.

I explain how you could be foreclosed on even though you were CURRENT on your mortgage payment.
I explain how, even if you paid CASH for your property, you can be foreclosed on.
Find out why the courts silenced the entire four years of 117 filed litigation documents and removed them from public view.
Find out why the court conveniently lost all of the legal transcripts from every hearing during the four year long litigation.
I expose how over 85% of all mortgages in the United States are legally deemed fraudulent and therefore void!
Find out why nearly every financial institution that collects your monthly mortgage payment from you has absolutely no right and does so by committing fraud.
I expose the smoke and mirrors of our financial system so you can see behind the curtains!
Find out what the courts didn’t want you to know!
Understand how Wall Street is all just Smoke and Mirrors!

I am a critical thinking, writer, podcaster, top-tiered XRP/crypto investor, and a member of the Writer’s Guild of America, the International Association of Professional Writers and Editors, and also the Independent Book Publisher’s Assoc.
As a seasoned crypto investor I enjoy discussing the crypto ecosphere interlaced with justice, politics, spirituality, and society. I’ve been a serial entrepreneur throughout my adult life. I also possess decades of experience in real estate (investor/developer) of over 30 properties across the country in CA, NV, AZ, NM, TX, FL and Mexico.
My wife and I live in the unique, global, cultural hub of Northern California with our two cats, just a short drive from some of the world’s greatest restaurants, museums, galleries and wineries of Marin, Napa, Sonoma, and Solano county vintners.
As a classically trained musician I was inducted into the Child Performers Hall of Fame at the age of fourteen. Over the years I have worked with artists including Santana, Journey, Tina Turner, Bill Gibson (Huey Lewis), George Winston, Eddie Money, Jack Douglas (Aerosmith, Dylan, Lennon, Cheap Trick), Fred Catero (Santana, Miles Davis), Paul Broucek (Warner Bros., Billy Joel, New Line Cinema, Fairlight), David Bryson (Counting Crows), Christopher Hedge (Neil Young, Paul Horn), The Ring, and Zulu Spear...
