Michael Corbin: A Tireless Crusader for Truth

Dear Friends,

The passing of Michael Corbin at the age of 52 from a massive stroke on March 18, 2008 has deeply saddened me. Michael was a dear friend and mentor who always took the time to help others. Michael was always there for me through thick and thin and I will greatly miss his wise counsel, humor and kind attention.

As a professional Michael was a pioneer in internet news reporting and web broadcasting. Paranormal themes accented his work in the 80s and 90s but the political and economic turmoil of the new millennium caused Michael to turn his many skills on the problem of global elites and their unjust control of the world’s political, economic and religious institutions.

In this regard Michael was a tireless crusader who left no stone unturned in his relentless pursuit of the truth.

Few realized that Michael was a devout Roman Catholic who converted to the Faith under the direction of Father Malachi Martin. Michael is in a better place now and this should please us all as much as we need him and will miss him in this world.

I was a completely unknown writer until I met Michael Corbin in 2003 and my many appearances on A Closer Look catapulted my career into the greatest height of success – I am now known by tens of millions of people on dozens of radio and TV programs as a direct result of being on Michael’s program.

Michael was like my older brother who supported my work and loved to share in my triumphs as if they were his own. In recent years Michael and I delighted in some of the successes I have enjoyed in the professional realm. I loved sharing with him the amazing spin-offs of being on A Closer Look including having my book covers displayed in a major New York art show and breaking ratings records on several other radio programs.

I was on A Closer Look on March 11, 2008 – just seven days before Michael’s untimely passing. The complete program can be heard below. If you listen you will hear me say on two occasions that A Closer Look is my favorite radio program.

Goodbye Michael and thank you for all of your love.

God Bless You All,

William H. Kennedy
