The “JUSTICE IN AMERICA” Network TV Series uncover the real drama in people stories, and cover the issues that promote justice and fairness for injured persons, safeguards victims’ rights, and the opportunity to help guide the hands of justice – Especially when people’s lives have been destroyed, families ruined, dreams lost, or widespread societal change and reform are needed.

They are truly personal crusades and telling journeys of what it means to seek justice in an American Courtroom.

Steve is not your typical writer. He might be your most atypical writer right up there with Hemmingway and Louis L’Amour, because like them, he struck out on high adventure, at the early age of 17, traveling throughout South America to Mexico City, Panama, Bogota, Columbia, to Peru, across the Andes to Cusco, Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca, Copacabana, to La Paz, Bolivia and to Santiago, Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls, Brasilia, Sao Paulo, and then he enlisted in the US Army, volunteered for the Infantry, and for Vietnam, where he served with the 1st Infantry Division, and as a MAT, Mobile Advisory Team Advisor.
After discharge from combat duty with the 1st Infantry Division in the U.S. Army in Vietnam, Steve spent the next five years working covertly as a “Civilian contractor” to the CIA’s Phoenix Program’s Counterinsurgency and Counter-terrorism project, and coordinated the largest Black-Market Operation ever sanctioned by the Company.
That experience led him to write a fictionalized account in his bestselling book, “American Gangster – Beaucoup Dinky Dau”, which draws on the experiences and accounts of those men, led by a former SSG/MAT Team Advisor, John D. Walker, known in Saigon as Johnnie Walker or the “The Fixer”, and those who directed the covert operations from the senior corridors of Washington DC and the CIA.
Steve gained highly unusual access to the records and the individuals who ran this top secret covert organization, “Operation Beaucoup Dinky Dau”, which supplied the U.S.-led indigenous teams (Montagnards, Chinese Nungs, and Meo tribesmen) fighting the North Vietnamese Army.)
“The Operation” directed flights of the CIA’s Air America program that flew civilians, diplomats, spies, refugees, commandos, sabotage teams, doctors, war casualties, DEA officers, and visiting VIPs. They coordinated many of the “Food Drops” (known as “Rice Drops”) and the “Hard Drops” (Ammo and weapons drops) to the Meo and Hmong tribesmen fighting against Communist Pathet Lao, as well as to the Phoenix Program’s operations to destroy the infrastructure, and the political organization of the Viet Cong and the NVA. They also directed the airlift of a humanitarian mission to build US hospitals and provide development aid of $450 million to prop up as a façade to covert operations.
Steve is also the producer and Co-host of the award-winning, nationally syndicated APM radio show, ‘The LawBusiness Insider’ https://lbishow.com/
The business cycle combined with the real estate cycle imposes a tremendous impact upon our society.
Without the stimulus of increased real estate activity, where the forces of demand create a voracious appetite to consume available supply, the business cycle will remain in its lackadaisical through languishing for those forces to provide the jump-start for an upward climb into the ether of prosperity.
The early 1990s found our country struggling to get back on its economic feet. That very crucial impetus needed from real estate activity has been woefully lacking. Even though tools of stimuli, such as the most attractive mortgage rates in years coupled with bargain properties prevailing, the takers have been few and far between.
Within this market, with all of its fragility, there were still opportunities available taking advantage of a weak atmosphere to negotiate strong and profitable steals, like for example:
