Hello, and thank you for visiting.

My name is Wesley Fager. I am a computer scientist, mathematician, engineer, author, web page designer, teacher, lecturer and investigative reporter. I started out as an engineer trainee with McDonnell Douglas Aircraft in Saint Louis and have worked as an applications programmer for a software development house in Chesapeake, Virginia, but my more recent employments have been with the United States Department of Defense. In the early 1980s I organized and managed the Navy's first organization to provide training on emerging microcomputer office technology to Navy personnel, worldwide. I was an early implementor of local area networking when I replaced DECnet LAP RS232 cabling at the Army Research Institute in Alexandria , Virginia with ethernet and then ran 3COM and DECnet over that ethernet to connect the agency's 200 PCs. This was in the early days of networking when not all softwares had network versions so I wrote a C program to limit the number of concurrent users for Lotus 1-2-3 (I believe it was Lotus).

After that I was offered a job at NASA to develop local area networking and download links for the space station, but I took a job with the Defense Intelligence Agency instead as they were paying more money. At DIA I was doing queuing theory simulating network traffic to decide whether a single optical jukebox with gigantic 14" optical platters could give competitive response times to the agency's vast array of magnetic disk storage devices. In another assignment I mathematically verified the adequacy of a message profiling engine to be used for the agency’s standard communications front-end processor. I developed transition plans to migrate the agency's architecture from centralized IBM mainframes running M204 database to distributed SQL-based LANs, from DOS-based PCs to UNIX-based, and from Novel LANs to UNIX/NFS. I left DIA in 1989 to work for the Defense Communications Agency (now Defense Information Systems Agency) where I was the chief of software for a national-level, multi-million dollar, DECnet controlled, Pascal-based secure video teleconferencing system using T1 circuits, CODEC compression, point-to-point line encryption/end-to-end DES privacy encryption. One upgrade I oversaw was the implementation of G2 knowledge-based software for real-time system control and fault analysis. Ten years ago we were using and implementing much of the technology that is now finally available on anybody's personal computer.

I am the implementor and administrator of WESnet--my home XP, peer-to-peer network consisting of a D-Link router with cable modem, file and printer sharing, an XP machine running an Apache server for CGI/Perl web page development and a Windows 98 machine running a five platter optical juke box. Expert City's software is used for remote access of my network and Yahoo's video teleconferencing is employed.

For the last few years I have taken it upon myself to research and report on fraud and abuse in the teen health care industry. In 2000 I published my findings in an on-line book called A Clockwork Straight. I was named in Marquis Who's Who in America 2002 for that work. The photo at the top of this page shows me receiving the Richard Bradbury Award for Heroism in 2002 in Saint Petersburg, Florida for my work. Besides my book I am the editor of an on-line newspaper and I had an article published in the Journal for the Leo J. Ryan Foundation. FOX News on-line reported on my work on May 26, 2002.  In 2002 Carta  (an Italian magazine) used information from my web site to write an article on Ambassador to Italy Mel Sembler. I am the former science editor for a Navy periodical--a monthly in which I published numerous articles on mathematics and science. I have supplemented my income to help pay for my research by being a substitute school teacher--a job I truly enjoy--and by working as cable modem/dialup internet connection specialist for RCN / Erols.

I have always been proud of the fact that I voluntarily joined the United States Army during the midst of the Vietnam War. I served as an intelligence officer at Fort Bragg, NC. I have worked at other places and have a huge background in scientific and engineering computer programming and database development and administration. I won't get into all that here, but if you take the link above left you will see a portfolio of the types of exciting work I have been involved with through the years and the types of work I am capable of producing. There is another link above left which shows you the numerous awards and positive comments from satisfied customers that I have enjoyed through the years. Some of the groups I investigate and report on have been called destructive, mind-control cults. Because of the nature of the investigative part of my background, I can not be more explicit here on what I am doing today (other than saying writing, teaching and developing fine web pages).

I am a 32 degree Mason and past president of the National Defense Masonic Club. I have won numerous first place awards with Toastmasters International. I was a principal organizer of and guest speaker at the First (2001) and Second (2002) International Conference on Juvenile Treatment Abuse held in Bethesda, Maryland and Saint Petersburg, Florida, respectively. I have been a guest on talk radio around the country on destructive cults. I have been a guest speaker on information technology to the Armed Forces Staff College, to secondary schools, and to the Boy Scouts.
