THE AUTHOR OF ORTHODOXIA 2036 behind the pseudonymous Blue Merchant-5 has degrees in Philosophy and Law, and has worked as a lawyer for over 45 years. The greatest part of this was as a trial attorney for the United States Department of Treasury and the Department of Justice as a Special Assistant U.S. Attorney. The Author opposes the Fascist Regime now exercising extra-constitutional authority as it engages self-enrichment while losing no opportunity for gratuitous cruelty "at home" and across the Globe.
