  •     Truth or Consequences, New Mexico.
    How did the city get its unusual name? This website can be especially interesting for readers of Jacob Kinsky's compelling novel, Shadow and Illusion. The story starts in and near T. or C., and this site helps make the story even more lively and realistic. This is the city's official website.
  •     More about T. or C.
    Another official Truth or Consequnces website, to complete the overview.

  •     The Compassion of Hospice Care
    Jacob Kinsky, author of Shadow and Illusion experienced the wondrous compassion of the tireless and loving workers of Hospice firsthand, and today it is his primary charity. Learn about these wonderful humanitarians and caregivers here.

  •     Area 51 Revealed!
    For decades, the government lied to us about this secret base at Groom Lake, Nevada, ludicrously claiming that it didn't exist. That, despite fact that many of its curious fans had taken telescopic-lens photos of it from mountain peaks that weren't yet off-limits to them. Of course, all this accomplished was to make the base seem even more sinister. Now for the good news: Crystal-clear aerial photos have been taken of the facility, and many of those can be seen and scrutinized on this website. For readers of Shadow and Illusion, they will be particularly fascinating... since part of the story takes place on the base.

  •     Janet Airlines
    Before you read about Janet Airlines in Shadow and Illusion, have some fun studying up about it, here. All you ever wanted to know about this mysterious airline that flies workers to and from Area 51 is on this website. Well -- maybe not quite all... but probably a lot more than you might have expected.

  •     Area 51 -- and More
    In keeping with Occam's Razor, the simplest model is more likely to be correct -- especially when working with unusual phenomenon. But as much as conspiracy detractors like to point that out, the fact remains that people often DO conspire, and thus, complexities are developed and sustained. Proof of that abounds. For example, in almost all cases, classified information obtains and retains that status for years or decades because a number of people in control of it conspire to keep it secret from others.  (Ironically, those from whom it purportedly is being safeguarded frequently figure it out, and those who really are kept in the dark are us -- the general public.) (As in, "They can't handle the truth!")  Okay.  That having been said, think about the fact that people who aren't willing to accept the easy way out (per Occam's Razor) often are derisively called "conspiracy theorists" and "the tinfoil hat crowd," and almost never are referred to properly as conspiracy researchers or investigators.  You need to ask yourself why such fun is being made of them.  What are the detractors so desperate to put down the researchers, that they'd put forth so much effort to do so?  Might it just not be that -- forsooth! They protest too much?  Here's a website for the truly inquisitive to enjoy!

  •     Is a Meth Lab Nearby?
    Many people may be unaware that they're living near a meth lab.  Meth labs turn up in houses, barns, apartments, trailers, campers, cabins and motel rooms –- even the backs of pickups.  The equipment for a meth lab can be as small as to fit in a duffel bag, a cardboard box or the trunk of a car. The labs aren't all found in such places as described in Shadow and Illusion.  Here are some things to look for in identifying a meth lab.
