In Memory of Michael

I found myself thinking of a sentence from the Credits section of Fatal Rebirth (forgive the source), and a paragraph from the Preface which also seems appropriate. In the Credits where I thank Michael and other radio hosts for having on the air so often to talk about the results of my investigations into crimes by government agencies and other power brokers, to include an errant and largely controlled media:

“Truth means nothing if no one hears it.”

Getting people to hear the truth was clearly Michael’s most fervent wish, his most ambitious goal, and his loftiest achievement: he helped tens of millions of people hear the truth that had otherwise been deliberately kept from them by professional disinformationalists. He literally spent all of himself and his financial resources toward this task. It was not a labor for profit, but of love of truth. It was not a hobby, an avocation, or even a vocation, it was an obsession for truth. It was not a part time job, or even a full time job, it was an every-waking-moment dedication to the truth.

And what is the value of truth, and of getting people to hear it? I offer this from the Preface of Fatal Rebirth:

“Truth cannot live on a diet of secrets, withering within a web of entangled lies. Freedom cannot live on a diet of lies, in the end sur-rendering to the veil of their oppression. The human spirit cannot live on a diet of oppression, being subservient against the will to that un-checked evil. God, as truth incarnate, will not long let stand a world devoted to such evils. Therefore, let us have the truth and freedom our spirits require… or let us die seeking these things, for without them, we shall surely and justly perish in an evil world.”

Michael was a torch bearer who led many people through the darkness on the path to truth. For this reason, We The People, have lost a great and beautiful human being. More than that, we may have lost the truth itself.

But one truth remains: we will miss Michael Corbin. May God speed him to the fountainhead of all truth, where he should feel right at home.

Phillip D. Collins Remembers Michael

Michael Corbin was the first radio talk show host to provide Paul and I with a platform. He was the first person to appreciate our research and the potentially elucidating trajectories that we were following. He wasn’t concerned with commercial profitability, novelty, or trends. He was concerned with the value of the information that he was sharing with the public. His show wasn’t one endless infomercial, peddling sensationalistic videos and overpriced water filters. Instead, it was a road map for genuinely concerned activists and intellectually honest researchers. A Closer Look was a national treasure and the airwaves will be far less informative without Michael and his outstanding program.

Paul Collins Remembers Michael

I remember when The Hidden Face of Terrorism was first published. The book came out looking really bad. In fact, it was terrible. The front cover did not reflect my vision at all and the interior format was like a very bad school report. But Michael didn’t see all that. He considered the substance and understood that the book’s message was what was important. He was the first radio talk show host who gave me an opportunity to get the word out. But that’s not all. What started off as a simple interview concerning terrorism as a tool of social engineering turned into a six year collaboration that turned over a lot of rocks and exposed aspects of the deep political world that not even some of the most informed people know about.

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 Memory of Michael Corbin, Who Kept Watch, Held The Light.

“Once to every man and nation comes a moment to decide,

In the strife of Truth and Falsehood, for the good or evil side;

Some great cause, God’s new Messiah offering each the bloom or blight,

And the choice goes by forever `twixt that darkness and that light.

Though the cause of evil prosper, yet `tis truth alone is strong

Though her portions be the scaffold, and upon the throne be wrong

Yet that scaffold sways the future, and behind the dim unknown

Standeth God within the shadow, keeping watch above his own.
– James Russell Lowell (1819 – 1891)

During the years that I had the privilege to know Michael Corbin, he showed such kindness and compassion when doing any and every show with me.

My son was kidnapped 25 years ago and Michael would invite me on his show as new developments took place in an effort to help. I would receive emails from many listeners after doing a program with Michael and through his help we received valuable information many times concerning the case.
