I am niether wise, sage nor holy! I will accept argumentative, mysterious and snarky though! There's no hierarchy here on Medium, there's just people who write and people who read - and people like you and me who do both. So your kind words are lovely, but unnecesssary. See Penguin commandment number 5 for more on this.... https://medium.com/feedium/the-ten-penguin-commandments-ed8b1936c517

I'm fascinated by the many different coups and counter coups that the CIA infiltrated and initiated around the world. Somewhere in my drafts I've got an article about the failed coups of Equitorial New Guinea and I'm tempted to write about Haiti sometime soon - as Baby-Baby Doc just reintroduced himself into the political scene. Madness.

Keep these pieces coming and I will keep reading - they absolutely float my historical boat, ice floe, whatever it is we Penguins use to get around. :o)
