I am primarily a problem solver. I currently write about controversial cultural and technical issues in an attempt to bring clarity and direction to important issues. Formerly, I applied my problem solving skills to engineering problems and legal issues. As an engineer I learned to follow the data, as a patent attorney I learned to quickly understand new technologies and build persuasive narratives. I now combine these skills to present complicated issues in a concise and understandable manner to promote a course of action.

Authored op-eds on political, cultural and technical issues for various publications including TheFederalist.com and CompleteColorado.com.

He is a contract lecturer at the Defense Information School and at the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania.Author and leadership communication professor Helio Fred Garcia documents President Donald Trump’s increasingly dangerous rhetoric, from his campaign through the first 2 ½ years in office, and how some lone wolves were motivated by that rhetoric to commit violence, in his new book.WORDS ON FIRE is about the power of communication to do great harm, and how civic leaders and engaged citizens can hold leaders accountable to prevent such harm. Garcia focuses on the language President Trump uses that conditions an audience to accept, condone, and commit violence against a targeted group, rival, or critic. The book includes a history of such rhetoric and identifies a playbook of twelve forms of communication that typically precede acts of mass violence up to and including genocide.The Nazis used all twelve; the Rwandan Hutu used ten. Trump uses all twelve.Garcia also introduces a new, more accessible name for rhetoric that provokes violence: lone-wolf whistle violence, on the model of “dog whistle” politics, where politicians use coded language that conveys one meaning, usually benign, to most people, but a different meaning to members of a certain group or followers of a certain ideology.“In my teaching and research, I study patterns: patterns that help leaders enhance competitive advantage, build trust and loyalty, and change the world for the better. I also note patterns that predictably, even if unintentionally, lead to hurt, to harm, and to violence,” said Garcia. “In reflecting on the President’s language, I noticed a pattern: He was using the very same rhetorical techniques that had preceded previous mass murders, including genocides. I worried that, left unchecked, he would continue, with increasingly dire consequences.

”WORDS ON FIRE"describes the changes in the nation’s political culture and media that led to Trump’s nomination and presidency. Garcia profiles leaders who dialed back their rhetoric when it was shown to put people’s lives at risk and closes with a call to action: We can learn the lessons of today to prepare for tomorrow, to help civic leaders, engaged citizens, journalists, and public officials recognize the phenomenon and take steps to hold other leaders accountable in the future when they use such language.Advance Praise for Words on Fire“Language is power, and powerful. It can uplift, or harm. Helio Fred Garcia is an astute student of language and communication. This book offers historic examples, keen insights and valuable advice on recognizing patterns of language that can harm or lead to violence."Former Pentagon and Department of Homeland Security spokesman, Col. David Lapan, USMC (Ret)“Words on Fire serves as a guiding light during this dark moment in our history. Every American should read this timely, imperative book if we are to save our democracy.

Guest Occupation: Life Enrichment Consultant, Soul Life and Health Intuitive, researcher, author
Guest Biography:

Michael King is a Life Enrichment Consultant, a Soul, Life, and Health Intuitive, as well as a researcher of Nature's most powerful healing resources the world over. He is the author of "Three Essentials for Vibrant Health: Detoxify, Nourish & Build", along with the Vital Health News Updates - a periodic newsletter documenting powerful life-building approaches to both inner and outer health.

He is also the author of "The Gentle Art of Self-Healing", a simple, powerful process for changing the corner of the world that we each live in, capable of producing noticeable inner improvements in a matter of minutes.

Michael is an advocate of sustainable gardening, environmental responsibility, and an architect of ways to increase global food production.

Early History to the Present

Michael’s early years of life were fraught with severe health complications, partly due to inherited conditions, and partly due to side effects from standard medical treatment, compounded by the typical American diet. He began his search for natural remedies to his deteriorating health condition in 1976. What he discovered kindled a deeply felt passion in the fields of both natural health and inner healing.

Overall, Michael has spent the last 40+ years in quest for the best of the best that Nature has to offer. Realizing that the answers to his physical condition would only be found by uncovering their original causes, an avid search began to discover these causes and heal them.

True to the Natural Order of things, this intent is continuously being rewarded with insights and solutions found within the abundant resources of Nature. Numerous approaches to restore health in both the inner and the outer being have been magnetically drawn to him.

The Sacred Clay & Ormalite, several herbal resources with remarkable restorative capabilities, and an in-depth insights into the world of inner transformation are among the many gifts of Nature that have since come his way. The herbal formulas were originally designed to heal his own health challenges, and are central to his own health restoration. 

Encouraged by family and friends to make his products and wisdom more available to the public, claiming this was “right place, right time for concepts of such effectiveness to be in the hands of those desperately seeking answers”, Vitality Herbs & Clay, LLC was eventually given birth.

VitalityHerbsAndClay.com documents this natural wisdom with over 100 articles, numerous audio podcasts, and 40+ natural products focused on whole earthen resources (as opposed to isolates and extracts), and without additives or fillers.

It has been Michael’s passion since childhood to be an instrument through which lives change for the better. The development of clay products, the formulation of rejuvenative herbal combinations, the life enhancement consultations, the sharing of this wisdom in seminars, and the positive results he watches daily in the lives of others, fulfills this ongoing passion within him to serve the common good.

Applying the wisdom gained from his in-depth search of the world of natural resources has made it possible for him to heal both body and soul, leaving him physically healthier and more vital at 65 than when he was 20. His life path and his joy is to share this wisdom with others.

"In truth, love is the only thing that heals. Every issue of life springs forth out of the condition of the inner heart, and must ultimately return to the heart in order to become whole again. Herein lies the secret of vibrant health, the manifestation of wealth, and complete fulfillment in life. How to get there from here is the underlying quest of every soul.” Michael King
