He was a self-educated scholar of freedom of information laws, media activist and lifelong dissident. Mackenzie began his career in journalism editing People's Dreadnaught, a self-published anti-Vietnam War monthly newspaper out of Beloit, Wisconsin. He was harassed by police for selling the papers on the street in 1970, experiences which marked the beginnings of his government-press relations studies. The publication put a target on his back and earned him a warrantless police raid on June 29, 1970 when cops kicked down the door of his (and his brother's) house. Shortly after he was forced to discontinue the newspaper but subsequently sued the police and 'won a $2500 judgement from a federal jury which found the police had knowingly violated his civil rights.'This booklet is a collection of his articles for Columbia Journalism Review, The Progressive, FOI '82, and The Nation.Secrets: The CIA's War at Home, his fifteen-year investigative magnum opus was completed posthumously in 1998 by his friends years after his 18-month battle with brain cancer took his life in 1994.(https://spartacus-educational.com/JFKmackenzie.htm; The San Francisco Examiner, 15 May 1994; The San Francisco Examiner, 21 May 1981). .
