I wish I were.  If you want a "love-hate" relationship try Benjamin
Fulford.  van Wolferen is something else again.

As I wrote elsewhere, some of van Wolferen's writings (especially
about international politics and about the U.S.) are mere pamphlets,
but "Enigma" is a muck-raking masterpiece.  He's a very perceptive
observer of the country he lives in.
