Dear Jordan,

Many people who come into our store or call us have inquired about your connection with David Icke, as both of you seem to be the first two researchers that come to mind when hidden mysteries or conspiracies are discussed. The following is what I usually tell them. Since the question sometimes comes up with you, feel free to post this in order to help clarify things and save yourself some time.

I was offered to work as the publishing arm of the Truth Seeker Foundation in the mid 1990’s by you and moved my entire operation from Los Angeles to Escondido at that time. You were in place at the foundation, working as Religious Editor for the journal and doing a number of other projects for them.

Not long after this a young lady named Alice Ferguson called you and said she had come to the U.S. to start promoting a similar researcher from England named David Icke. As I understand it, this was the first time you, I and virtually anyone in the states had ever heard of him. Alice was hired as a secretary and her partner, David Griffith was also brought on board. You were the first person in the Truth Seeker organization that they had contact with and as a result it was you who brought them in. Alice began working with you, along with involvement in other projects, helping to keep everything organized. Not long after, David Icke was brought over and met with you and the Truth Seeker President at that time, Bonnie Lange. Although you were basically the Truth Seeker spokesperson for the type of material that you and Icke share, you chose to become the catalyst in bringing Icke into this country and it was done. As far as the U.S. is concerned, this is where David Icke’s career was launched, at the Truth Seeker Company.

I recall you having shared boxes upon boxes of files, pictures and research with Alice and David Griffith, which were copied and forwarded to assist in Icke’s research. Many of the images that are clearly recognized today as your work are in many of his taped presentations and in live lectures. People who are familiar with both of your work have reported it around the world as far away as Australia. This is not to say he “stole” anything from you -- you were a generous and helpful source of information for him at the time, and you gave freely. He has done his own research, with and in addition to your work, and deserves credit for presenting it so succinctly and spreading the word, so to speak, but you sure as hell saved this guy a lot of time, early on, since it took you literally years of painstaking work to compile this information. In effect, you were a catalyst in “jump-starting” David Icke’s career – both in helping to get his entire promotional engine in place in this country, and in the sharing of much of your private research. I do not recall you ever receiving any acknowledgment or credit in his books or videos for your help. This is disheartening because I fail to see your name listed in any of the indexes of his books. I thought I had seen just one instance, in the past, but now cannot seem to find even that one.

I hope this helps to clarify for those who might ask what connection the two of you once had, because it does not seem to be forthcoming from other credible sources. What I hope this does NOT serve to do is to help create clashes and arguments with those who support either you or him separately. This is exactly how I recall events and there are a number of others who worked in the office with us who could easily attest to it. The main point, however, is that both of you are on a similar path, doing great work and exposing what needs to be exposed for the greater good of all concerned. I don’t want to create division among those who do this work because that is what the “powers that be” would want. I only bring this up because of the great amount of credit you deserve for helping Icke and so many others like him. Not many know about it, but you were doing the groundwork for this material as far back as 1959. So keep your head up, Jordan – you are the “Godfather” of ALL this research and have been known to be a silent partner, as far as research goes, to many other well-known people, never asking for much in return. You deserve far more recognition that has been given to you so far, but that is clearly changing.

Best wishes always,
