Capt. May…A True Iconoclast!

Eric May was one of the most talented, creative, courageous, and intelligent people I have ever met. He was a genius and then some. He quite frequently wrote essays and news reports for The Lone Star Iconoclast and as one of his editors, I was amazed at his clean text, his persuasiveness, his vast command of multiple languages, and beyond that, his extraordinary ability to accurately dismantle reports from the mainstream media and, reading between the lines, grasp the truth and unveil cover-ups.

His creation of Ghost Troop was a huge achievement, not only because it honored past soldiers, but also it provided a method of questioning dubious military tactics during a time when the world was at a critical juncture. As a former intelligence officer, he understood how military policy was developed, along with its imperfections. His analysis was always accurate.

Usually we visited by phone or e-mail, but I met him and some of his family members in person on a few occasions, which was a rewarding experience I will never forget. Once, I interviewed him at the Crawford Peace House, at which he performed for me his Ghost Troop Dirge, provided biographical information, and spoke in-depth about the state of the nation. His insight proved invaluable to Iconoclast readers and through his writings influenced national policy.

I was always amazed to learn from him what had just occurred and what was about to happen based on numerological dates that tended to follow a preconceived outline. He could predict disasters before they happened and was precise at attributing events to false flags.

Probably the most impressive element that Eric May brought to the world, however, was his courage. He stood up to the powers that be on many occasions and sought to shine a light on truth even when his personal safety was at stake, and it often was. In a way, Ghost Troop operated in the shadows and he was its commander, in touch with deceased soldiers, retirees, current soldiers, and a precise affiliation with history and how it relates to today.

I considered him a personal friend and miss him profoundly. His friendship to mankind was immense, as well, which was demonstrated time and again with his desire to improve the world, make it safer, and end wars. He was very much one of a kind.
