The Internet is where the marketplace of tomorrow will build community. Not the New World Order because that's about politics and politics is dead. The best advice I can give to politicians is prepare yourself to be useful in a non-coercive enterprise.

We're on the way to lead with our freethought philosophy. And we have assembled the best team for the times. Our growth has been spectacular and a few good people have made it possible. This year, 1996, we have been building our infrastructure. The journal is now expanded to 80 pages and is issued twice a year under the multi-talented direction of Marti Kranzberg.

Bill Holmes, one of the leaders in computer technology, has brought us from our infancy on AOL onto the World Wide Web with multiple locations and our own server. Mary Szterpakiewicz, his capable assistant' is developing into a mighty force on the Web as Director of Marketing. Product is developing and growing so fast that I look forward, like a child at Christmas, to each day and what new wonderful things my team will think up.

Eddie Hamilton and David Griffith are the Directors of M.Ed. Marketing. Together they have developed a distribution system that covers the Americas and Europe.

Ron Garner is Director of our Video Production Division. You couldn't ask for a better person to work with and his contacts are tremendous.

Paul Willie is director of Book Tree and provides us with many talents including book production and warehousing, along with the funniest man in the world, Leonard Pine. Every company should have a Leonard.

Jean Holmes is director of the Truth Seeker Radio Network. She keeps our talk show hosts, Jordan Maxwell and Robert Stanley organized. No company is as lucky as we are to have the multiple talents of Jean, in more ways than I can tell you.

Another major player on the Truth Seeker team is Tim Leedom. Imagination is what he's all about. You are going to see it in full Technicolor... Watch for his movie The Main Man. Of course you can all learn something by reading his book, The Book Your Church Doesn't Want You To Read.

Every publishing company needs another of our talented members and that is Bill Lindley. He is a genius with the English language. And then there is Nancy Melton whose ability with the computer and her patience with all of our high-energy colleagues puts her in a class by herself. When tension gets high and tempers get short, Nancy is there to calm the situation.

With the exceptional talent of Roderick Bradford, researcher and video producer, another of our team members, you will all be able to enjoy the 125th anniversary of the Truth Seeker with the biography of our founder D.M. Bennett (which will be available in 1998).

So we're poised to enter the new century with divisions of the Truth Seeker Co. to produce products that will enlighten and expand our species' horizons. This has all been made possible by a few unique people organizing together. That synergy makes us a winning team. When I look back over the eight years we've invested it gives me a joyful feeling to know that this is what Mr. Johnson would have wanted me to do with his money. Without it we could never have grown to the potential we are experiencing today. I am forever grateful to him for the opportunity and the resources. One final recognition - no corporation can operate in today's world without legal counsel - Truth Seeker Co. has two outstanding attorneys, Roy R. Withers and Daniel Goulding. It is their duty to protect us from our own folly and the attacks from outsiders.
