- Tom Lennon, a noni swindler’s “entrepreneurial thinking”
Imagine a gang of child rapists, crooks on the run and coke snorting bankrupts getting together in Panama to start an “investment scheme.” Can’t believe it? It really happened, and it became one of the more spectacular collapses of any scam over the last five years or so. I’m talking about the Noni Tubbies.
While most of the perpetrators are either in jail, on the run or keeping a low profile, one of the more intellectually depraved members of the board is trying to clear his name these days: The great entrepreneurial thinker Tom Lennon.

- Afghanistan articles
In 2006 I traveled to Kabul, Afghanistan, to report for the US magazine Newsmax. I still want to go back, even more so now that Obama has announced a change of policy towards the war torn country. Meanwhile, here are the links to the stories that were published on the Newsmax website.

- Positive!
When you’re a journalist, you always get these complaints that you never write anything positive. Of course the people who make these complaints are wrong and ignorant and they will never actually pay you to write something upbeat, but it never hurts to pacify them every once and a while.

- Celimo Scooters, Unsafe at Any Speed – update about crash!
I had big plans with the new Celimo Typhoon scooter I bought just months ago. For example, I immediately registered diariosdescooter.com, a website that would document my journeys all over the country, and beyond. Like a modern Che I would voyage Central America and report on whatever I would encounter, from social issues to geographics, from the beauty of its nature to the ugly circumstances of the many people that live in it. Even my Afghan shawl, bought in Kabul in 2006, entered the plans as it would protect me on the many dust roads I surely would have to navigate. Other than that, the scooter would serve me well to commute from where I live to Panama City, where I work.
That was the plan. Then came reality….
About
Okke Ornstein is from the Netherlands where he worked for about 15 years in the wonderful world of television and radio before accidentally moving to Panama. Since then, he has been chased by gangsters and many unsuccessful attempts have been made to shut him up, have him thrown out of the country, or in jail for crimes against the honor. None of that has stopped him from continuing to work as a journalist, consultant, publisher and writer.
