George Knapp is one of the best investigative journalists in the paranormal/anomalous phenomena and UFO fields, and it was my previous good fortune to have been George's guest on Coast to Coast, once in January 2009 and again, with Dan Throop Smith, in December 2010. (And it would be remiss of me to fail to mention another superb Coast to Coast AM host, George Noory, who interviewed me in November 2009.)
As explained at the Coast to Coast Am website:
"Tom Drake "was charged with ten counts of mishandling documents when he blew the whistle and questioned the legality of domestic spying by the National Security agency. He'll join George Knapp to discuss how all of the original charges against him were dropped after he rejected several deals to 'plea bargain with the truth... Drake accepted a misdemeanor plea agreement for exceeding his authorized use of a government computer. The Department of Justice had been pursuing Drake for alleged violations of the Espionage Act that might have sent him to prison for up to 35 years. But the government withdrew the evidence supporting several of the central charges after a judge ruled Drake would not be able to defend himself unless the government revealed details about one of the National Security Agency's telecommunications collection programs.
You may recall Mr. Drake from a series of articles I wrote about an alleged psychic spy program run out of the NSA, based upon two independent sources' accounts.
The first source told investigative author Gus Russo about a secret deep black paranormal program managed by NSA Signals Intelligence, back in 2007.
Later, our second source, Christopher Robinson of the United Kingdom, went on the record about experiments he conducted with U.S. intelligence following 9/11. Robinson had attempted to warn U.S. authorities about the use of airplanes as weapons of mass destruction based upon psychic paranormal dreams, hours before the attacks took place that fateful Tuesday morning. Among the various intelligence officials Robinson met during his trips to the United States was Tom Drake; however, at the time Robinson had no idea Drake worked for and was a senior government official at NSA.
Chris Robinson learned about the NSA connection when Drake's Espionage Act indictment made international news, and was eventually featured in a special investigative report by CBS News 60 Minutes with Scott Pelley, following an excellent article by Jane Mayer in The New Yorker.

It's been an interesting year over at STARpod.us, the new STARstream Research website.
Migrating the older Microsoft-based website to a new Wordpress content management based site has been time consuming but the new site promises to be a more efficient way for us to provide you with the latest news from the strange world of weird science, psychic intelligence and perhaps, extraterrestrial alien contact.
