"The collective fear, secrecy, polarization, and loss of purpose within all of us have allowed leaders to subvert democracy, and to take away our freedoms. By each one of us making a commitment to work on these issues both inside ourselves and out in the world, we are changing our collective direction for a brighter future."

Key Members of the PEERS Team
WantToKnow.info is a website of the nonprofit Public Education and Empowerment Resource Service (PEERS). We are a small organization with a large network of volunteers of people with diverse backgrounds in media activism, journalism, high-level government work, academia, social justice advocacy, grassroots organizing, and metaphysics and spirituality work. The work of WantToKnow.info relies on a group of courageous, dedicated researchers and concerned citizens from around the globe who have made key contributions to our site. Some of these people have written key books which are concisely summarized on this website. Others have sent valuable information revealing major cover-ups.
Our website was founded by Fred Burks, who served as a language interpreter for presidents and other government officials around the world including G.W. Bush, Clinton, Gore, and Cheney. Late in his career, he stumbled down a rabbit hole where he discovered significant levels of global deception and manipulation. His courageous whistleblowing was reported on the front page of the Wall Street Journal. Learn more about the fascinating history of PEERS and WantToKnow.info.
