I am grateful to Margo Baldwin, the intrepid publisher of Chelsea Green Publishing. Facing the Beast is my third book with this press, which has championed free speech in a censorious time. I am honored to be published by a house that publishes many of the most important dissident voices of our era.
Thank you to the wonderful editorial team at Chelsea Green: Brianne Goodspeed, an ideal editor; Rebecca Springer, talented managing editor; and Sean Maher and his colleagues, a wonderful PR team.
Thank you to my literary agent, Jane Dystel, along with Miriam Goderich and colleagues at Dystel, Goderich & Bourret, for their skilled representation.
A.J. Rice and his team at Publius PR are stellar press advisors.
Thank you to Steve Bannon, Cameron Wallace, Captain Maureen Bannon, Grace Chong, and the team at WarRoom. The work of the WarRoom/DailyClout Pfizer Documents Investigations Team would never have reached millions of listeners if these men and women had not supported this project by getting the message out. I cannot thank enough the generous, committed, and courageous “WarRoom posse.” Thank you of course to the WarRoom/DailyClout research volunteers for their work on behalf of humanity.
Jamie Glazov at FrontPageMag.com, Jeffrey Tucker at Brownstone.org, Lew Rockwell at LewRockwell.com, Brent Hamachek at HumanEvents.com, and others republished many of these essays after I ran them on my Substack, Outspoken. Tucker Carlson has been consistently supportive. I am grateful to all of these for amplifying my work.
Steve Berger, Wendy Ractliffe, Jenin Younes, Dr. Paul Alexander and family, Jan Jekielek and Cindy Drukier, Dr. Peter McCullough, Dr. Harvey Risch and Sharon Risch, Dr. Howard Tenenbaum, Reggie Littlejohn, Frank Gaffney, Jeff and Ora Nadrich, Dr. Chris Flowers, Dr. Robert Chandler, Josh Stylman, and others shared important insights, and valued friendship, during the writing of these essays. I thank them for making me less afraid, via their own examples of courage and integrity.
My team at DailyClout—COO and WarRoom/DailyClout Pfizer Documents Research Analysis project director Amy Kelly, Kate Melgoza, and the rest of the DailyClout crew—worked inexpressibly hard to bring forth some of the most relevant reporting and editorials of our moment. Ms Kelly and Ms Melgoza also held the fort while I wrote and edited this book, and Ms Kelly gave me essential information about the Pfizer documents reports. I hope what Ms Kelly has done in convening and overseeing the Pfizer Documents research volunteers is remembered, as it should be, by history.
My mother, Deborah Goleman Wolf, is always my best reader and interlocutor.
Thank you to my extraordinary children and stepchildren.
A special thank you to Brian O’Shea, my husband, who saved my life twice; who kept us secure during the writing of this book; whose own research continually enlightens me; and who explained to me what war is—that a war can last for years without being lost, and that a real soldier never yields the fight.
