Christopher Ruddy

Christopher Ruddy is one of the nation’s premiere journalists. In 1999, Newsweek named him one of America's top 20 new media personalities.

NewsMax journalists Christopher Ruddy and Carl Limbacher have a blockbuster new book published on September 11, 2002. It’s called Catastrophe: Clinton’s Role in America’s Worst Disaster - and tells the real story of 9/11 - the one the big media are afraid to report.

As an investigative reporter Mr. Ruddy has broken numerous stories that have received national acclaim. In 1992 he first exposed revelations that a PBS documentary had fabricated key facts – causing PBS to withdraw their support for the film - the first time the agency had made such a move.

At the New York Post, Mr. Ruddy’s series on abuses of the Social Security Disability programs led to national media attention and Congressional reforms. Also at the Post, Mr. Ruddy broke several stories relating to the death investigation of deputy White House Counsel Vince Foster.

He continued his reporting on that case, and Clinton-Gore scandals as a correspondent with the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. In 1997, Mr. Ruddy authored The Strange Death of Vincent Foster: An Investigation published by Simon & Schuster's Free Press.

His book received the endorsement of former FBI Director William Sessions, who said Mr. Ruddy's reporting "argued a persuasive case that the American public has not been told the complete facts" of the Foster death.

Christopher Ruddy is the author/editor of Bitter Legacy, which reveals the Untold Story of the Clinton-Gore Years. Christopher [Carl] document how the corruption of the Clinton-Gore administration robbed America of her political integrity and national security - and how the Clinton-Gore administration engaged in a massive abuse of power.

A much in demand media commentator, Christopher is a regularly featured guest on national network radio as well as TV programs in America and around the world, including:

  • CNN: Sunday Morning Show
  • CNN: Talk Back Live
  • CNBC: Hardball with Chris Matthews
  • CNBC: Rivera Live
  • Fox News Channel: Fox In Depth & Fox News Live
  • Fox News Channel: Hannity and Colmes
  • NBC: Unsolved Mysteries
  • CBS: 60 Minutes
  • C-SPAN: About Books
  • PBS: Tony Brown's Journal
  • BET: Tonight with Tavis Smiley
  • NBC: Wall Street Journal Report

Christopher Ruddy is a Media Fellow at the Hoover Institution on War, Revolution and Peace. He holds a B.A. summa cum laude in History from St. John's University in New York and a Master's Degree in Public Policy from the London School of Economics. Mr. Ruddy currently edits and publishes NewsMax.com, one of America's leading Web sites for news.

— William S. Sessions, Former Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation

"A serious reporter who has raised important questions."
— Edward I. Koch, Former Mayor, City of New York

"Relentless."
— The Wall Street Journal

"Sharp, quick, and in command of the facts."

Carl Limbacher

Carl first gained notoriety as a reporter with the Washington Weekly and has built a reputation as one of the hottest sources for alternative news on the Internet and as a frequent guest on radio and TV talk shows throughout America. A regular source for talk radio hosts from coast to coast, Inside Cover writer and editor Carl Limbacher specializes in the news the mainstream media overlooks.

NewsMax journalists Christopher Ruddy and Carl Limbacher have a blockbuster new book published on September 11, 2002. It’s called Catastrophe: Clinton’s Role in America’s Worst Disaster - and tells the real story of 9/11 - the one the big media are afraid to report.

From last year's election coverage to the recent hostage standoff with China, Limbacher helped keep NewsMax.com on the cutting edge of breaking developments -- so much so that Fox News Channel, CNN and MSNBC all invited him to be a guest on their news programs to get his take on the China crisis.

Limbacher's stories have been picked up by conservative media stars Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity -- and his scoops are regularly covered by the New York Post's Page Six and even the Washington Times editorial page.

He was a regular guest on Mary Matalin's Washington, D.C. radio show before she became special advisor to President Bush and Vice President Cheney.

He was a recent guest on Bill Maher's Politically Incorrect.

In 1998, he was first with news that Congressional Black Caucus chairwoman Maxine Waters wanted an investigation into Ron Brown's death - and the first in print with complaints from Brown's daughter about a government cover-up. Months later, Limbacher went public with the behind the scenes story on the jailhouse death of key Whitewater witness James McDougal - including claims from witnesses who say prison officials denied him his heart medication hours before he died of a heart attack.

And no one knows more than Limbacher about Bill and Hillary Clinton's dark past -- and future plans to undermine the Bush administration and reclaim the White House.

In 1999, Limbacher got the inside scoop on NBC's embargoed interview with Clinton accuser Juanita Broaddrick - direct from Broaddrick herself. More than three weeks before NBC ran her bombshell story.

During the 2000 presidential race, Limbacher snagged an interview with Vice President Al Gore's Vietnam buddy H. Alan Leo - and was the first to actually print a detailed account of Leo's claims that Army brass assigned him to be Gore's battlefield bodyguard.

Carl is the author/editor of Bitter Legacy, which reveals the Untold Story of the Clinton-Gore Years. Christopher [Carl] document how the corruption of the Clinton-Gore administration robbed America of her political integrity and national security - and how the Clinton-Gore administration engaged in a massive abuse of power.

And although the mainstream press refused to credit NewsMax, it was Limbacher's Inside Cover report "Racial Changes Made to Ground Zero Tribute" that set off a nationwide firestorm of protest over plans for a politically correct statue based on the famous photo, "Flag Raising at Ground Zero."

With breaking updates several times a day, Limbacher has made Inside Cover a must read for media savvy folks everywhere.

"Read all about it - NewsMax.com! We check out the site every morning 'cause you always have the stuff a day early," says Fox News Channel's top rated "Fox & Friends" morning show host Steve Doucy about Limbacher's reports.

Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity says Carl Limbacher is one of "best reporters in America -- I read him everyday."

Colonel Stan Lunev

Col. Lunev Colonel Stanislav Lunev is the highest-ranking military officer ever to defect from Russia to the United States.

Col. Lunev defected in 1992, after Boris Yeltsin came to power. Lunev’s information to the CIA, DIA, FBI and other national security agencies was deemed so vital he was placed - and remains in -- the FBI’s Witness Protection Program.

As one of Russia’s top GRU agents in America, Lunev was involved in making Russian war plans against America, as well as ferreting out American military secrets. Some of Lunev’s information was revealed in the 1997 bestseller Through the Eyes of the Enemy (Regnery). Among many revelations, Lunev reported that Russia’s military -despite the end of the Cold War, continues to prepare for a war with the U.S.

Lunev’s credentials are impeccable. He was born in Leningrad in 1946 to the family of a Soviet Army officer.

As a youth, Lunev was recruited for an elite military academy, the Suvharov Military School in Vladikavkaz, Northern Caucasus.

In 1964, Lunev began studies at the Joint Arms High Command Military Academy, the Soviet equivalent of the U.S. Army West Point Academy, with civilian specialization in math and physics.

As a young officer, Lunev was selected for the GRU, Russia’s elite spy agency.

As his first field assignment in the GRU, Lunev was sent in 1978 to Singapore under civilian cover as a student at Nanyang University, University of Southern Seas.

In 1979 he returned to Moscow as a GRU Operational Officer. In 1980 he was reassigned to China as one of Russia’s top spies there posing as a TASS journalist.

In 1988 Col. Lunev was assigned to the GRU Field Office in Washington, D.C. as a GRU Intelligence Officer. In 1992 he defected to U.S. authorities. Since then he has served as a consultant to the FBI, CIA and many defense agencies and private corporations.

CIA Files: Defector Reveals Russia's Secret Plans
A NewsMax Exclusive 2-hour Interview on Cassettes

In "CIA Files," Col. Stanislav Lunev reveals the dark side of Russia's soul – and their continuing efforts to destroy America. The highest-ranking military spy ever to defect from Russia, Lunev warned the CIA and the FBI that Russia continues to actively plan for war with the U.S. and the West. They didn't listen then, but they're listening now.

Gary Aldrich

On Independence Day, 1996, former FBI Agent Gary Aldrich broke the code of silence surrounding the Clinton administration. In his book, Unlimited Access: An FBI Agent Inside the Clinton White House, Mr. Aldrich exposed the questionable behavior and serious breaches of national security he witnessed while performing his duties, which included a key role in a comprehensive personnel screening process.

 

His book quickly skyrocketed to the top of the New York Times Bestseller List and stayed on the list for 20 weeks. To date, Unlimited Access has sold more than half a million copies and was #1 on every bestseller list in the nation! He has since written his first novel, Speak No Evil, which enjoys brisk sales.

 

Since publication of Unlimited Access, Mr. Aldrich has made thousands of radio, TV and personal speaking appearances, including This Week with David Brinkley, Good Morning America, Dateline, Equal Time, Hannity and Colmes, The O'Reilly Factor, Inside Edition and others.  Mr. Aldrich has also authored editorial pieces for distinguished publications such as The Wall Street Journal, Human Events Magazine, The Daily Oklahoman Newspaper, and Insight Magazine.

 

Given Mr. Aldrich’s past experience, he has a particular passion to intercede in the plight of ethical dissenters currently under attack by the media or by a corrupt federal agency or administration.  Mr. Aldrich continues to appear as an expert witness guest on many talk shows around the nation discussing the Clinton administration, corruption, the FBI, other federal agencies, issues related to law enforcement and Second Amendment rights.

 

A 30-year veteran of the FBI, Mr. Aldrich specialized in white-collar crime, including fraud and political corruption. For five years prior to retiring, Mr. Aldrich served under former President Bush and Clinton in a national security role.  In addition, he was assigned to the U.S. Senate and House, working closely with elected officials on a variety of issues.

 

In January 1998 Mr. Aldrich founded The Patrick Henry Center for Individual Liberty, a non-profit foundation dedicated to promoting the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights and supporting the right of citizens to engage in ethical dissent.  Mr. Aldrich has a special interest in the rights of our young college students to engage in debate about important issues of the day, free of fear from the intolerance of the “politically correct.”

 

In a new audiotape just released by NewsMax - Off the Record with Gary Aldrich - the one-time top FBI agent assigned to the White House reveals things never before revealed -- the sordid and shocking truth about the Clintons.

Phil Brennan

Phil Brennan, a veteran investigative journalist, writes for NewsMax.com and edits and publishes Wednesday on the Web (http://www.pvbr.com).

A native New Yorker, he moved to Washington in 1956 where he worked in the public relations field, handling such assignments as the Washington end of the successful Alaska Statehood campaign. After working on the Nixon campaign staff in 1960 he was named director of public relations and special projects of the House Republican Policy Committee.

During his years on Capitol Hill he also wrote the "From Washington Straight" column for Bill Buckley's National Review. He was responsible for uncovering the Bobby Baker scandal which resulted in the jailing of the secretary of the Senate, a close confidant of Lyndon Johnson. In 1964 during the Goldwater campaign he organized the GOP Truth Squad and served as its PR director.

In 1968 after working as an administrative assistant for a member of Congress, he moved to Boca Raton, Florida where he continued his journalism career and wrote two unpublished novels and a series of non-fiction books, the last being a history of the Shroud of Turin.

Phil is a veteran of World War II, having served in the US Marine Corps from 1943 to 1946. He is a widower and the father of seven children. He serves as sacristan at St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church in Boca Raton and is a trustee of the Lincoln Heritage Institute.

Tammy Bruce

Tammy Bruce is an openly gay, pro-choice, gun owning, pro-death penalty, voted-for-President Reagan progressive feminist. She was drawn into feminist activism in the late 1980's to contribute to the ongoing effort to ensure safe and legal abortion for all women. Just two years after joining the National Organization for Women, and with a brand of feminism that places her somewhere between Donna Reed and Thelma and Louise, Ms. Bruce was elected president of the Los Angeles chapter of NOW at the age of 27. The youngest ever to achieve that position, she doubled the chapter's membership from 2,000 to 4,000 within a year with issue campaigns that introduced a fresh view of feminist activism. In her seven years as president (1990-1996, the longest continuous tenure in the chapter's 30 year history) she mobilized activists locally and nationally on a whole range of issues, including women's image in media, child care, health care, violence against women, economics, and domestic violence. Ms. Bruce also served two years as a member of the National NOW board of directors.

An important contributor to the author's position on the relevance of free speech comes from her experience as a radio talk show host in Los Angeles. In fact, with the "Tammy Bruce Show" on KFI-AM 640, she was the first openly gay women in the country to host a show on mainstream talk radio. Her editorials and commentaries on significant social issues have been published nationally and internationally in a wide variety of magazines, newspapers, and on television and radio programming.

Ms. Bruce's first book, The New Thought Police, was published by Forum, an imprint of Crown/Random House, in October 2001. An analysis of freedom of expression and the culture wars, it explores the importance of freedom of expression and personal liberty and how that liberty is under attack by the dangerous rise of Left-wing McCarthyism. She is currently writing "The Death of Right and Wrong: How the Left's Moral Vacuum Corrupts Our Culture and Threatens Our Liberty," also for Forum (April 2003)

A native of Los Angeles, the 39-year-old writer and political commentator notes that her interest in politics and individual liberty was sparked during her childhood in part because of the work of authors Ray Bradbury and George Orwell, both of whom remain her favorite writers. Ms. Bruce lives in Los Angeles with her foundling cat, Sadie.

Mike Gallagher

Mike Gallagher's road to becoming one of America's fastest-growing nationally syndicated radio talk show hosts began in 1978 as a 17-year-old high school senior in Dayton, Ohio. Taking a tour of his hometown talk radio station, WAVI, Mike saw a memo on the bulletin board stating that the station was in search of a young talk host. Figuring he had to be one of the leading contenders based on his age, he marched into the program director's office and announced that he was the man for the job. That night, he was on the air and within a week he had his first full-time stint in broadcasting. When the management of WAVI discovered they had hired a high school senior, they quickly put a clause in his contract mandating that he never publicly reveal his age. So began a colorful broadcasting career that has culminated in being heard around the country. In it's first few months of launching the national program, The Mike Gallagher Show is heard on over 140 radio stations in communities all over the country, framed by markets like Seattle, Sacramento, Jacksonville, Los Angeles, and New York City.

Mike's talk radio career has taken him from Dayton, Ohio to WFBC Radio in Greenville, South Carolina where his ratings and revenue success led to his eventual promotion to station manager. From there, he became the afternoon drive-time leader in Albany, New York on upstate powerhouse WGY. From Albany, it was just a two and a half hour drive south to the nation's number-one market, New York City, where Mike enjoyed a two year run as morning drive talk host on the nation's most listened-to talk station, WABC. When the owner of Mike's former employer in Albany, John Dame, approached him about the opportunity for national syndication, Mike jumped right in, forming Dame-Gallagher Networks, L.LC with Dame, a longtime owner/operator of Dame Media, Inc. based in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The Mike Gallagher Show is beamed to radio stations around the nation via satellite from state of the art studios and offices in the world-famous Empire State Building in midtown Manhattan.

Being an Ohioan by birth but a New Yorker by choice, Mike resides on Long Island, New York with frequent on-air subjects of his show, his wife Denise and their twin sons Matt and Micah. Their older sons, Bryan and Trevor, are attending college and working full-time in the New York area. The 40-year-old Gallagher spends most of his free time exploring all that New York City has to offer with his family, frequently attending sporting events (a die-hard Yankees fan), the theatre (he met his wife at a community theatre production of A Christmas Carol), far too many restaurants (his diet starts next Monday) and gathering life experiences for his daily radio show.

Dick Morris

Probably the most prominent American political consultant, Dick Morris is almost universally credited with piloting Bill Clinton to a stunning comeback re-election victory in 1996 after the president lost Congress to the Republicans two years before.  Called "the most influential private citizen in America" by Time Magazine, Morris helped steer Clinton to the center and away from the liberal policies he had pursued in his first two years in office.  Morris is also credited with advising Clinton to sign the welfare reform bill of 1996 and getting him to back a balanced budget, both key centrist positions.

Morris began his relationship with Clinton in 1977 when he handled the Arkansas Attorney General's successful campaign to become the youngest Governor in the nation.  Morris did not work on Clinton's defeat for re-election in 1980 but did oversee his comeback victory in 1982 as well as his Arkansas re-election victories in 1984, 1986 and 1990.

In addition to Clinton, Morris has handled the winning campaigns for more than 30 senators or governors including Republican Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott and former Governors Bill Weld of Massachusetts and Pete Wilson of California.

In recent years, Morris has turned to foreign campaigns and served as chief strategist for Mexico's reformer Vicente Fox in his upset victory in July, 2000 over the PRI after the party had ruled the nation for 71 years.  He also was the chief strategist for the winning  campaign of Argentina's new president Fernando de la Rua in November, 1999.   He also worked for Jorge Battle in his victory for president of Uruguay that same year.

In the United States, Morris has become a familiar figure as a commentator for the Fox News Channel.  He makes over four hundred appearances each year and is well known for hard-hitting, nonpartisan, objective commentary about the U.S. political scene.  He writes a weekly column for the New York Post and the Hill Magazine in the U.S. and the National Post in Canada.

In November of 1999, Morris founded a Web site in the U.S. called Vote.com where people may log on to vote on the major issues of the day.  Their opinions are then e-mailed to their senator and congress-people and to other significant decision makers.  In the eleven months of the site's operation, over one million voters have registered their e-mail addresses and zip codes with Vote.com and have cast a total of more than 15 million votes.  Vote.com is now rated by Media Metrics and PC Data as one of the most trafficked Web sites in the world.

As part of his work with Vote.com, Dick, along with his wife/lawyer Eileen McGann founded Legalvote.com, an online jury focus group service.  They have conducted online focus groups in over 100 cases and their clients include two of the top insurance companies in the U.S. as well as many of the major plaintiff lawyers in the nation.
   
Dick has written four books.  His 1997 best selling memoir of the Clinton Administration was entitled "Behind the Oval Office, Winning the Presidency in the Nineties."   In 1999, he wrote a guide to modern politics called "The New Prince: Machiavelli Updated for the 21st Century."  In 2000, he wrote "Vote.com - A guide to the Internet based politics of the future."  His first book, "Bum Rap on American Cities - The Real Causes of Urban Decay"  was published in 1977.

His new book, "Power Plays," is available at NewsMax.com.  It sketches the careers of twenty of history's leading figures and the strategies they used to gain political power.  It compares the successful and unsuccessful strategies of men like Churchill, Clinton, Reagan, Lincoln, de Gaulle, Truman, FDR, Tony Blair and many others.
 
Mr. Morris lives with his wife of 23 years, Eileen McGann, in Connecticut and in New York City.

Richard Poe

A New York Times-bestsellling author and cyberjournalist, Richard Poe writes on liberty and libertarianism, as they relate to history, politics and business. His book Black Spark, White Fire explores the controversial theory that the ancient Egyptians were black and that European civilization may have had its roots in ancient Egypt. Unusually for a conservative, Poe takes a sympathetic stance toward Afrocentrism.

In his current book, "The Seven Myths of Gun Control," Poe cuts through the blizzard of anti-gun propaganda and uncovers the truth about guns, crime, and freedom. He details the seven most common arguments used by gun prohibitionists, debunking each one with a wealth of statistical and legal data gleaned from top experts in the field of guns and gun rights. You will discover that, contrary to myth, the availability of guns leads to less crime, not more; that guns do not pose a special threat to our children; and that the Second Amendment is as vital to the lives and liberty of modern Americans as it was in frontier times. You will also learn how the current drive to further regulate and even outlaw firearms is a point-blank assault not only on truth but on freedom as well.

Poe was editor of David Horowitz's FrontPageMagazine.com from June 2000 to February 2002. He was also formerly senior editor of Success, managing editor of the East Village Eye and reporter for the New York Post. He is a regular contributor to NewsMax.com.

Jack Wheeler

Dr. Wheeler, a NewsMax.com Pundit, has had two parallel careers for many years:  one in the field of adventure and exploration as the owner of Jack Wheeler Expeditions;  the other in the field of political and economic freedom as president of the Freedom Research Foundation.  Regarding the first, at age 12 he was honored in the White House by President Eisenhower as the Youngest Eagle Scout in the history of the Boy Scouts.  He climbed the Matterhorn at age 14, swam the Hellespont (LIFE Magazine 12/12/60) and lived with Amazon headhunters at 16, hunted a man-eating tiger in Vietnam at 17, started an export business in Vietnam at 19, and wrote The Adventurer’s Guide (New York: Mackay, 1975), described by Merv Griffin as “the definitive book for anyone wishing to lead a more adventurous and exciting life.”  He has three “first contacts” with tribes never before contacted by the outside world:  a clan of Aushiri in the Amazon, the Wali-ali-fo in New Guinea, and a band of Bushmen in the Kalahari.  He has retraced Hannibal’s route over the Alps with elephants;  led numerous expeditions in Central Asia, Tibet, Africa, the Amazon and elsewhere, including 18 expeditions to the North Pole;  and has been listed in The Guinness Book of World Records for the first free fall sky-dive in history at the North Pole.
