Welcome

Mr. Jonathan Lorrimer van Helsing brings a wealth of education and experience to this book project. He completed his undergraduate education at Morningside College with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration--Accounting Emphasis, along with a minor in Religious Studies. He upgraded his minor in Religious Studies to a major by taking additional classes at the Aquinas Institute of Theology and the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary. During his time studying in both Catholic and Protestant Seminaries, he evaluated the economic impacts of religious and spiritual activities on Western society. He also worked on a study group sponsored by Wartburg Theological Seminary that evaluated economic impacts of social services legislation.

After finishing his undergraduate work, Jonathan worked for a state revenue department auditing some of the largest corporations in the world. He later worked in the public accounting field before he re-entered the academic world. He received a Master's Degree in Management Information Systems with additional studies in Finance and Quantitative Methods from the Beacom School of Business at The University of South Dakota in Vermillion, South Dakota. During this time, he wrote a groundbreaking quantitative analysis paper demonstrating the weakness of microcomputer system auditing programs used by major public accounting firms worldwide.

After Jonathan completed his Graduate Studies, he held professorships at two Midwestern U.S. colleges where he taught Accounting Systems classes. He got into publishing when he became a business analyst/software developer at two legal publishing companies.

Jonathan met Anna after she had founded an international newspaper. He worked as an investigative journalist (sometimes undercover) where he got the chance to help expose a internationally renowned religious racketeer. His articles have also appeared in several other publications nationwide with bylines covering topics relevant to business, current events, along with a number of other social and spiritual issues. He is a frequent guest on radio talk shows and has been interviewed on Fox News television and PBS.

Jonathan continues to be interested in a number of subjects, including the impacts of West African Scam activities on the Western economy. He has also taken an interest in how these activities fund International Islamic Terrorism.
