Investigative Journalism and Multimedia Intelligence. Not law enforcement.

Spherical Shield is a brand new operation of Investigative Journalism and Multimedia Intelligence in Vancouver, B.C. While I communicate with law enforcement daily, I am not law enforcement. I am actually helping out! Vancouver is in need of help and I've shifted my project to add more challenges I can solve to help make our city, country, and world a much safer place.

It is easy for anyone to think that Spherical Shield is part of law enforcement because gosh even I feel like I am sometimes. I am not. I am not legally allowed to be because you need a license and have to take training, get signatures, and someone would have also had to tell you that you are part of law enforcement. I am not part of law enforcement. We live in a world full of criminals. We live in a city full of criminals. Am I an investigative journalist? A blogger? Yes. My experience though investigating retail fraud is getting closed to two decades. There is a massive difference between a multimedia intelligence specialist (or as I call myself, Mr Nobody), and law enforcement.

I haven't told anyone about the website offline except for law enforcement. People don't know me from the internet. They know me because I lived here for so long. I just happen to know a lot of people. Do I have beef with anyone? I don't but they seem to have beef with me. They all have jealousy issues. They never made it in life and take it out on others. It's all good! There are lots of those. I don't need advice on what to do with those type of people.

It is so funny when I go into a retail store and once in a while (but barely) I actually will have security follow me around. Why is that? It is because I am highly observant for thieves no matter what. I am always in work mode. I am not necessarily eyeing for thieves, but when you are, sometimes security sees it as you potentially being a thief because what does a thief do? The same thing! Eye security because they usually know the guards who trust him (but of course not every security guard is going to know me).

So basically what happens is that once in a blue moon, someone that would be a loss prevention officer or even one that has been retired for a while may actually get pulled aside at airports just because they are giving off energy, that could actually be just someone that is highly observant from being in such dangerous situations.

If you think I am bullshitting the VPD arrested a judge once by accident on English Bay. I was biting my tongue. I said gosh the irony never ends in this city. I don't think the irony in this city will ever end. That was a long time ago, or at least old as far as news. There is always something wild going on in Vancouver. It is also my favorite city in Canada. There are pros and cons to everywhere, however I believe San Diego would be my future destination or maybe even Japan or New Zealand. Who knows!

When I am in other places besides Vancouver, my energy shifts immediately. Rural Canada is not the same as Vancouver, folks. In Eastern Canada you only turn around in the woods because it might be a bear, or someone you know well. In Vancouver, way different.

God bless you all and your safety. I hope people choose law enforcement either online or offline as a career! I am stacked with 10 other things, but seriously I commend you! I will always post investigative journalist stuff which is actually not even local stuff. It is mostly retail, company, MLM, and worldwide fraud prevention, ,and not local cases. You will see posts about how to stay safe around bank machines, as opposed to, "Jack did this crime." I am not allowed to do the second one. I am only allowed to do the first. This means that anyone would need an education and a license. I happen to be what some would say extremely qualified, but has a full plate with blog information, courses, and multimedia.

While Joey MacDonald at Spherical Shield is an investigative journalist, it looks into the lies on the internet. It discusses how apps use way too much advertisement and end up causing problems and viruses to users. I will try and type what applies to all, so that grandma can understand it too. I just hope she doesn't mind reading blue. It is actually super cool (ASMR) on the eyes although I have considered changing that font color. I'll test it out this color!

Thanks for being here! Stay safe, secure, and private.
