Death Broker The fabric of the American society is marbled by a constant slaughter of innocent men, women and children by fanatics using battle field weapons. It seems that not a day goes by without another report of a multiple shooting incident. And it seems that those who provide the weapons have no conscience about how they make the weapons available. Brian O'Neill was on a quest to put billionaires who straddled the legal-illegal line in prison. His quest focused on Remi Frensby a person who had setup a large network of gun shops across the US. From little on Remi had a gun in his hand. He had learned to shoot when he was five and had absorbed the belief that gun ownership was a right that everyone should have. He had been told that it was not the gun that was at fault it was the person doing the shooting. He was not taught to differentiate between a hunter who legally owned a weapon for hunting or the person who owned five AR 15 for "recreation" purposes. Over the years he built a gun shop empire across the country and made a fortune. He straddled the line between legal and illegal actions and for years this had made him a fortune. Then he discovered that someone was checking into his business practices.It took some time before he found out the name of that person. He decided that he needed to eliminate that individual. He hired the best available assassin. The target, one Brian O'Neill, not only survived the attempt but killed the assassin in such a fashion that the finger of guilt pointed back to him. He knew then that he needed to leave the country and go somewhere where he would be safe. He prepared to leave the country on his seventy-five-foot yacht. His plans seemed fool proof. He hired enough body guards that he felt that wherever he ended up he would have a small heavily armed group of protectors. The yacht was sailing out into the Gulf of Mexico when there was shooting that came from on board shooters, he saw speed boats approaching from behind the yacht and two helicopters overhead. His small army seemed to be holding their own and he was only a few miles from the international twelve-mile border. He felt certain he would make his escape. Then suddenly one of his people was shot and as he fell down his slug loaded shot gun puncture one of the gasoline barrels that was stored on the main deck and the entire front of the yacht went up in flames. He decided it was time to abandon the yacht. The last thing he remembered after jumping was that he was drowning and realized he was going to die.The fact that the person that he had tried to kill had saved him had a profound effect on him. Even though he knew that this person was the one that had exposed his illegal actions and that he was going to face time in prison he bequeathed his yacht and his most treasured gun shop to him.

In the back most room she came upon the skull of the first victim resting on the tallest pedestal.

US Navy-A Footprint in My Life Long ago when I was young and unafraid living in Burlington, Iowa I faced a reality that shook me and took me on a path that I had not envisioned. My vision was to attend University and become an Engineer instead I faced being drafted. At the time I was a Brazilian citizen and registered with the Brazilian military but not the US. My high school years were great. I had good friends. I was in the top of the class grade wise. I lettered in football and wrestling. I was elected student council president. I participated in theater. Things seemed to be at the summit of my dreams. In my senior year I applied to many colleges and was accepted by Dartmouth, the University of Arizona, and the University of Iowa. The University of Iowa asked for my draft status. I was registered with the Brazilian military I did not have a US draft number. I was truly scared because the news was about draft dodgers that had been caught and then either sent to prison or put in the Army and sent to Vietnam. There was no one to advise me. I visited all the military recruiting offices to find out what type of programs I might qualify for. They all were interested in signing me up. The Navy promised me Electronics School, Nuclear Power School and the NESEP program that would take me through university and make me an officer in the Navy. I still had hopes on attending one of the Universities, so I went to the Draft board to learn my fate. The gentle grey haired lady behind the single desk in the draft board office listened to my story and then let me know that I was under arrest! I asked her to call the Navy recruiter. She nodded and did so. He came down with the recruiting paperwork and I left the draft board office as a Navy enlistee. I graduated from the Electronics school at the Great Lakes US Navy base. And then was on the way to Nuclear Power training school but there was a few month wait, and I was assigned temporarily to the USS Gunston Hall. It was during this wait that my great plan of avoiding Vietnam took a uncanny twist. The ship received orders to take three gun barrels for the USS Missouri to the Philippines. Once we delivered these gun barrels the Gunston Hall got orders to take three river opening Tango boats and escort them from river to river along the Vietnamese coast. We went up and down the coast of Vietnam several times. I was a fifty caliber machine gunner on the escort boat that made sure the Tango boats got into the river mouth safely.That phase ended several months later, and I did return to safely to the US and went through Nuclear power School.I ended up on the USS Coronado for a short time and then volunteered to be on the hydrofoil USS Tucumcari and went on a tour of Europe.The Tucumcari assignment was the highlight of my time in the Navy. The tour went from the North Sea to the Turkish straits between the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. The tour included visits to eleven countries. The purpose was to envision the European navies with the power hydrofoil provided. My last assignment was on the USS Wood County that had escorted the Tucumcari. It was during the decommissioning of the Wood County that I facilitated a peaceful resolution to an onboard race riot. My actions earned me the support of the Captain. He asked what I wanted. I let him know that I wanted to get out early so that I could attend University. He offered to support my going into the NESEP program, but I knew that the life in the Navy was not for me. He granted me my wish by making me the decommissioning "Captain" of the USS Wood County as it went through its final preparation to enter the moth ball fleet. I got out early and went on to become an Engineer.

The eyes glazed over as life left the body. I dropped it into the wire basket and the water from the stream swept the now weakly pulsing blood into the pool thirty feet below. I jumped off the pinnacle boulder and sank to the bottom of the pool.I was in a heaven. I swam in a pink pool of cool water under the full moon over Maui.He was the first and many more would follow.

Book 1: The FoldBook 2: The MessageBook 3: Fold WormholeBook 4: Negative FoldBook 5: Ripples In Time Book 4: Negative Fold The locked viewing room was opened, and reality was altered. The message on the board and the notarized note stating the date and time it was notarized altered everyone's understanding of what reality might be. The proof that the past could be altered and changed undermined the belief that the past was fixed. The question that surfaced was, "Had their reality been altered?The negative Fold realm totally scrambled Bram's perceptive of reality. His experiment with stepping physically back just a few moments in time and physically being able to step into that time changed how he thought about history. Had those in the future already been stepping into the past and altering it? Had his discovery of the Fold capability been triggered by someone from the future giving him the clues to create the Fold equation that would allow the future to change the past. He wondered where the circle began.The establishment of the oversight committee had triggered him to design a way to make it near impossible for the negative Fold environment to be accessed except by he and one other person and only from Mataia.The discovery of the ability to look at the past and to be able to step into and alter it changed Bram's plans of how to explore the negative Fold realm.He knew he had the capability to alter the past and to change what any specific person would experience. He knew that he had to put blocks on such action and that he would need to do so as soon as possible. But the most pressing investigation was to determine if the future was actively engaged in altering history.He decided to set up several chicken and egg experiments to determine the current situation that he was facing.He felt like he was making progress then he found the almost hidden evidence that indeed someone in the future was reaching back.Bram decided to set a trap and almost lost his life to the intruder from the future.Help came from an unexpected situation that had occurred previously and had accidently crossed the timeline that he and the villain from the future occupied.Bram takes action that will seal the future entry port and figures out a way to prevent the future from altering the past.Bram implements the rhombicosidodecahedron maze from which nothing is able to exit.

Book 1: The FoldBook 2: The MessageBook 3: Fold WormholeBook 4: Negative FoldBook 5: Ripples In TimeBook 3: Fold Wormhole The Sun had not yet broken over the horizon as Bram approached the boulder on which he had spent many a morning during the development of the Fold Equation. He was returning to celebrate the tremendous success that he experienced and to return Einstein back to his home. This time he would sit with Pat, his soul mate and share the sunrise with her. He would give Einstein a cookie crumb and see what his mouse companion would do. Bram had expanded the capabilities of what he could do with the Fold process and had been able to overcome the adverse impact of Folding space. He had learned how to send and receive Fold messages by folding and sending neutrinos as tiny Fold objects. He had used this capability to reply to an Alien civilization in response to their call for help. His next step was to personally use his Wormhole Fold capability to visit the water world that would most likely be the new home for the Aliens. He also wanted to see the Earth like planets that had been identified. He was anticipating a need for he and the Fold community to have a place where they could isolate and be safe from the havoc that he anticipated when the impact of the Fold technology had on the social and economic environment. The flexibility and leverage that Bram had was overcome by the numerous attacks that had been launched against the Fold project, himself, and the rest of the Fold community. He anticipated the need for a place where everyone could retreat. The exploration into the negative time fold exposed a new dimension where time did not exist. Bram entered into a world where his mind guided where he went and what he saw. The universe was not the only existence. The philosophers had been on the right track of thinking of other types of existence. The universe that Earth and humans existed in was just one of millions of universes. Each universe had its own unique condition. It was hard for Bram to fathom what he had discovered. Then Bram lost his way. He was lost in one of the dimensions. It was a moment of pure terror as he realized that he did not know how to return to his own time and space. Then his sensors began to blink a simple message in morse code, "follow the light," ..-. --- .-.. .-.. --- .-- / - .... . / .-.. .. --. .... -, Bram knew immediately that Pat had guided a group to figure out how to reach him. He followed the light. The light led him to his starting point from where he knew how to return to the Fold compound and those he treasured. This time he was invited to go fishing by Mike and Mary who had learned about his getting lost somewhere in the Universe. That seemingly innocent invitation was an invite to yet another attack from his adversaries.

Book 1: The FoldBook 2: The MessageBook 3: Fold WormholeBook 4: Negative FoldBook 5: Ripples In Time Book 5: Ripples In Time The discovery that time has no meaning in the negative Fold realm and that the present can interact with both the past and the future alters the meaning of reality. Bram realizes that the ability to enter the negative realm empowers that person to have ultimate control of events. Intervening in any manner creates a ripple in the fabric of time and alters events into the future. Bram discovered how to Fold the Fabric of Space. During learning how to operate using the Fold he had accidentally discovered the alternate negative realm. It exists on what he refers to the negative realm because the mathematics of both his current realm and the negative realm is the same except for the negative signs in all the places where they are positive in his original equations. His exploration of the negative Fold realm drives home the fact that the negative Fold realm must be closed. It eliminated all meaning to living. One's life has no meaning if anyone operating in the negative realm is able to alter the reality around you. The discovery of a world similar to Earth provides a way to isolate the knowledge and the use of the Fold process.Setting up a new world presents an overwhelming challenge that Bram and his team undertake. They also slowly erase all knowledge of the Fold Process on Earth. An early mistake of sending a time capsule one hundred years into the future results in an attack by the future trying to kill Bram and his team.Brama his team manage to eliminate the initial threat and then try to make sure that the Fold knowledge is erased in the future.The avenging descendants of the antagonists that had been eliminated take the opportunity to avenge the deaths of their ancestors by launching high powered missiles to blowup up Bram's house. The missiles are neutralized by the laser shield technology that Bram has developed. Using all his abilities and the characteristics of the negative realm, Bram creates a labyrinth that requires millions of years to escape and to where he relegates those who insist on using their power in a negative way. Life on the new planet is managed in a green way. It becomes an Oasis and a place where the animals of Earth are preserved and managed in their natural state. Total independence from Earth is not achieved but total isolation is. Other intelligences are discovered and interacted with. Only Bram and his team have the Fold technology. It allows them to interact across universe with these other intelligences. The Ripples in Time are impossible to fully control and must be carefully monitored and controlled.
