SPECIAL GUEST: Gordon Knight, author of Deep 6 Diaries, The True Story of One Little Guy Trying to Defend Himself, His business, and His Elderly Father from Bullying Bureaucrats and Government Criminality. Civil Servants bullied the little guy. He fought back. This is the story of how Gordon Knight’s family business was targeted for destruction by the Canadian Civil Service, envious of Knight's success and wanting the lucrative monopoly that would result from crushing him. It’s the story of this one man defending himself, his business, and his family against the might of the marshaled forces of the Federal Government. And it’s about corruption run by that Government in its own country, and in the US, and throughout the world. The bureaucrats, it turned out, weren’t targeting Gordon Knight as a one-off; it was part of a much broader practice. The bureaucrats were running cross-border counterfeiting operations, pay-to-play schemes, selling legislative votes, tax fraud, they were caught falsifying import documents, safety testing results, fabricating entire certifications, and all in trade for money. And Americans died as a result. This same Civil Service caught in corruption was caught rigging the trials that threatened to expose it. Then they arranged for a life-sentence in prison for Gordon Knight, on conjured charges of course, but unofficially because this one man had reported civil service conduct in public, posted with voluminous evidence. His position unsafe in Canada, Gordon Knight fled the country. Gradually, the story of one man fighting back had become the story of massive government corruption within the Civil Service in Canada and in the US, collusion between government departments in both countries and between the Canadian civil service and the judges of the courts; a relatable story of a real Deep State advancing its own interests at the expense of the people it’s supposed to be serving. What you rarely hear about are the little guys the civil service picks on. For eleven years, the civil service threw all they had at Gordon Knight. And they got dirty -really dirty. What do you do when laws don’t matter and government is the criminal? What can you do when they’re targeting you, your family? How do you defend when government vetoes your defenses, when your rights are cancelled at their convenience? And it’s personal, all this, because it’s getting worse. We’re used to seeing big names, high profile figures subjected to go
