Resources for the book
(with notes by the author)
Throughout this book, I've provided Web links to the original
documentation and source material used in the investigation.
Creating the book presented an interesting challenge. Images that
can be huge online have to fit onto a printed page. You can't scroll
or click a page in a book. In that sense, print is a pretty
primitive medium.
I solved that by providing the full, original images and source
materials on this companion site. In fact, I was able to go further,
and provide links to full video feeds, complete transcripts and
other helpful information.
To make things a bit easier for you, all of the links in the book are available in this resource section.
That way, you won't have to type in any long URLs from the pages of
the book.
Web links are notoriously subject to something called "link rot".
We've all experienced it. Click a link and instead of going to the
page you want, you get an error message.
This often happens with links on government sites, especially when
administrations change. Information that's available now on
WhiteHouse.gov
will likely be unreachable once the next President takes office.
To make sure all of our source material remains available, I've
made electronic copies of all the
relevant federal Web pages and linked to them from this resources page.
While all federal records are in the public domain, the content of
Web pages operated by private individuals and companies is not. I've
avoided capturing full copies of some of the privately owned Web
pages for just this reason. We'll just have to hope those pages stay
online.
I've also captured extensive screen shots of search results and my
forensics process and those extended screen images are also
available on this page. Please note that when you click an image, you'll be taken to a page
containing just that image. When you're done examining the image,
just click your browser's Back button.
Finally, I've also preserved the video feed for each of the White
House Press Briefings referenced in the book. You can watch the
actual press briefings in a variety of formats, provided by the
Moving Images library of the
Internet Archive.
One final thought. Many books offer "companion sites" that are
accessible only to purchasers of the book they accompany. I decided
to make our companion online resources available to everyone. This
subject is so important that I felt I should put the
supporting research out for public review rather than hide it away just for
those who bought the book. Even so, it will make much more sense if you
do read the book.
These are fascinating and
disturbing artifacts. Please take your time exploring them.
