Peter could not be censored by the U.S. government. As is shown above, during the Cold War he was known for the question and answer period following his presentations, positively stimulating both liberals and conservatives. As a principled ex-spy who loves his privacy, individual freedom, liberty, and the truth, Peter was quite pleased with the election of Trump in 2016.

A physics graduate from Case Institute of Technology in Cleveland, Ohio. Peter is shown below during the George W. Bush era in the Excelsior Hotel lounge near the U.S. embassy on the Via Veneto in Roma, Italy. During the Cold War, as a young aerospace and rocket engineer with the Pratt & Whitney Aircraft (PWA), Florida Research and Development Center (FRDC), a division of United Technologies in West Palm Beach, Peter coordinated the firm’s foreign technology program with the United States Air Force while also collecting intelligence overseas for the CIA.

Peter, who was known as "The American" by foreign adversaries, had the "perfect cover": He played himself.  For legitimate security reasons, U.S. government "Spooks" and "Analysts" who are employed and paid by our government are kept separated: Spies operating overseas are not told what happens to the intelligence that they collect and intelligence analysts in the United States are not allowed to have personal contact with the spies who collected the information, nor the people named in the intelligence reports, that they are required to analyze. Peter did both: As "The American",  he knew what to look for, what to do, and instructed the U.S. intelligence community to avoid contacting him overseas so he could operate without being compromised.
 

A Private and Public Track Record

An 800-page SECRET report that Peter authored during the Cold War, which was requested by the Executive Office of the President, received high marks throughout U.S. government classified circles; it was the first to document major Soviet rocket and missile developments that were previously unknown by the U.S. government.

Two of Peter's most popular public speaking programs during the Reagan-Bush Years that attracted liberal and conservative audiences were "The Embryo of an American Police State" and "International Espionage and Terrorism". Both timeless speaking programs not only accurately predicted future events as documented by press coverage at that time, but almost half of Peter's programs lasted past midnight with a mix of liberal and conservative audiences respectfully participating in lively question and answer sessions with no questions or answers being "off limits".

Peter's speaking programs could not be legally censored because he never signed a secrecy oath with the clandestine services of the U.S. government even though as a globe-hopping, independent maverick he had developed a close working relationship and assisted upon numerous requests Justin F. Gleichauf, the late chief of the CIA field office in Miami. Peter's intelligence reports to the CIA following his encounters overseas with our country's adversaries often numbered hundreds of pages and broke new ground in the field known as "Human Intelligence" (HUMINT).

How It All Began -- "The Whistleblower" As a Young Man During the "Nixon Era", Peter Gave Up a Career in "Corporate America" to Expose Publicly Very Serious Abuses of Power by the U.S. Government When an aerospace corporation dependent on U.S. government military contracts refused to "blow the whistle" on Air Force questionable activities, they never believed that a young rocket engineer with a bright future and educated in one of the best colleges in our country during the "Cold War" would willingly and permanently sacrifice a career with "corporate America" to publicly expose  U.S. government abuses of power   Comments by Space Historian Peter Pesavento April 12, 2004 (after accessing Soviet declassified documents prior to the release of "The Moon Race 'End Game", co-authored by Pesavento and Charles P. Vick, published  by Quest: the History of Spaceflight Quarterly): “--the first-time publication of information that shows that long-denigrated aerospace engineer Peter N. James actually was reporting accurately about the USSR's manned lunar intentions in his volume Soviet Conquest from Space, issued in 1974. Furthermore, there are revelations directly from James that the intelligence reports he had generated during the late 1960s were directly requested and accessed by the Executive Office of the President, and that this information by-passed the usual vetting process at CIA and the USAF's Foreign Technology Division due to its great import.” Peter N. James is PRIVATELY Focused on National Security Issues and is Unavailable for Public Speaking Appearances Look for Peter's forthcoming autobiography in 2020 The mosaic below is representative of the coverage Peter received when on speaking tours throughout the United States and Canada. He loves being a private person, but gave up some of that privacy to inform Americans of national security issues that endanger the survival of our country and the privacy that all Americans currently enjoy.     >         Well before the collapse of the Soviet Union, which caught the U. S. Government by surprise, Peter's audiences were advised during both terms of the Reagan presidency that the Soviet Union could be brought to its knees, not by nuclear weapons and missiles, but by an economically superior United States.   He showed audiences that the Soviet Union was about to destroy itself economically and it was not necessary for the United States to follow suit (our own economic destruction) by continuing a senseless and wasteful arms race when both sides already had enough weapons to destroy the entire world. This was a "no-brainer" never understood by some members of the U.S. intelligence community and our military-industrial complex.   The timeless lesson that I have learned is that when unscrupulous U.S. government officials are allowed to operate in secret with little oversight, they will knowingly break the law and if necessary attempt to intimidate individuals and American institutions to keep from being exposed, having little appreciation of the law or sacrifices made by so many to protect the freedoms we currently enjoy. How weak and impotent they become in a free American society when the press, media, and other branches of our government begin investigating their activities as permitted by law. Like Ben Franklin once said when asked what kind of government our nation's founders had created, he replied, "A republic if you can keep it." Peter (2014)                 BELOW: With anti-Communist exiled King (Prince) Leka of Albania in Canada (before the fall of Communism in Albania, the Kosovo Revolution, and the creation of the new country of Kosovo). Leka's father was King Zog of Albania before the Communists took over Albania after World War II.  Peter was one of the first Americans to tap the resources of the Kosovo Muslim community in the United States to adopt an openly pro-American and anti-terrorism policy which included cooperating with the FBI and Congress. Peter worked behind the scenes to help organize and support the movement to create a free and independent state within the former "Yugoslavia". This predominately ethnic state eventually became the pro-American country (sovereign state) of Kosovo, officially recognized by UN members in 2008. Not many Americans are aware that the Muslim majority in Kosovo had the support of Muslim Americans who cooperated and helped the U.S. government and NATO in the creation of Kosovo. Peter would visit these groups in New York, Boston, Detroit, Chicago, Aurora, and Canada. In his forthcoming autobiography, Peter writes about this little known movement of pro-American and patriotic Muslims in the United States who supported the overthrow of the Communists in Albania, the separation of Kosovo from Yugoslavia, and the creation of a much larger ethnic Albanian state with close ties to the West and the United States.     With "Commander Zero" (Commandante Eden Pastora) of the Nicaraguan Revolution when he terminated his "Southern Front" counter-revolution and military rebel campaign opposing Nicaragua's Daniel Ortega. Pastora accepted instead President Oscar Arias' offer to live in Costa Rica as a prelude to the Arias Central American Peace Plan. Pastora agreed that he and his revolutionaries would stop using Costa Rica as a base for launching attacks against Nicaragua. With Commadante Eden Pastora (Commander Zero of the Nicaraguan Revolution) in Costa Rica following the release of the U.S. congressional report investigating the Iran-Contra Affair (arms for hostages deal) under the Reagan Administration. Congress turned down Pastora's request to testify during the Iran-Contra Hearings, a message communicated to Peter during Lt. Col Oliver North's testimony. Peter hand-delivered the full report to Pastora along with evidence that "the Commandante" was willing to cooperate with the U.S. investigation, but his offer was turned down. Pastora would later unsuccessfully run for president of Nicaragua, but had little support and was easily defeated by Daniel Ortega. For "historian buffs", Pastora was head of the revolutionary rebels that stormed the Nicaraguan National Palace of then American-backed dictator Anastasio Somoza. By holding members of the Nicaraguan Congress hostage, Pastora successfully obtained the release of imprisoned anti-Somoza rebels. This was a major event that helped Pastora and the Sandanistas launch the Nicaraguan Revolution that eventually toppled Somoza. Pastora would later turn against Daniel Ortega and launch a counter-revolution using Costa Rica as his base of operations while the United States supported other Contras along Nicaragua's northern border.           < History Has a Way of Dealing With the Truth In the beginning, there were many attempts to discredit both Peter N. James and his 1974-1975 books "Soviet Conquest From Space" and "The Air Force Mafia" by "experts" in and out of the U.S. government. The threats and harassments ended when he launched his speaking tours, essentially briefing the public on matters that self-serving government officials wanted hidden from the American people. The release of secret documents that were declassified both in the Soviet Union (Russia) and the U.S. decades after his books were published also verified that Peter was accurate with his intelligence assessments. His opponents at that time had their own reasons for attempting to discredit him, but history always has a way of dealing with the truth no matter how long it takes.

"There is a reason why the post below is being made today, 13 March 2015. America's "national security" CLOCK is ticking:

Prima Facie disclosures and evidence would lead any U.S. national security expert to conclude that former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton not only used her personal “unsecured” e-mails to conduct official business for 4 years, but she appears to have gravely damaged the legitimate national security interests of the United States by NOT FOLLOWING established State Department regulations and U.S. national security guidelines and requirements.


While much of the focus has been on her political ambitions and failure to disclose how her personal and official e-mails were handled and/or not separated, the possibility exists that Hillary Clinton through incompetence, arrogance, and a desire to enhance her political ambitions may have exposed America’s most vital secrets (via her sensitive unsecured e-mails) to our worst enemies, which includes terrorists and hostile foreign governments like Iran.


Rather than go into specific details of what involves grave damage to U.S. national security interests, it would be easier for most anyone to understand what Hillary (irresponsibly) did by imagining what would be learned if EVERY OFFICIAL e-mail sent and received by Hillary on what she claimed is her private server was hacked and printed out for analysis by America’s worst enemies.


Any computer-literate foreign intelligence service, hacker, or terrorist organization would know exactly how the U.S. would respond to any international crisis, including military secrets, strengths, and weaknesses, thanks to Hillary’s failure to follow national security guidelines. The lives of U.S. government personnel, including military servicemen and women, have been jeopardized.


Based on the fact that the U.S. Espionage Act appears to have been violated by the highest ranking State Department official, her “personal” server and all E-mails while conducting official business must be secured immediately by the FBI, whose job BY LAW is to protect U.S. government national security secrets. This is NOT an issue that is subject to debate by Hillary, her defenders, and the press and media. It is already covered by LAW and requires that an immediate DAMAGE ASSESSMENT to national security interests be conducted by the U.S. government …NOW, not on when or whether Hillary decides to cooperate.


If what has been disclosed during the past week involved any other American holding a secret clearance, his or her “private” computers, servers, and e-mails would have already been LEGALLY seized by responsible U.S. counter-intelligence officials assigned to protect national secrets.

America is dealing with what appears to be the most serious national security scandal and breach in U.S. history. Appropriately, American computer geeks can serve U.S. national security interests by advancing PUBLICLY how easy it is for hacks to access the “personal” e-mails of a “private” server. Former U.S. government counter-intelligence officials can serve U.S. national security interests by PUBLICLY educating the American people what "national security interests" means and how it has been damaged in the past by spies, traitors, and irresponsible U.S. government employees who promised to protect classified information but did not do so.


Hopefully, this forum will pursue the national security perspective so that the public will understand better that the issue is not Hillary, but protecting the United States. Heaven help America if the press and media continue to protect the political ambitions of politicians at the expense of protecting the national security of the United States."
