All of the key figures in history, whether dead or alive, share one key trait: they are common people with uncommon talents, gifts, and vision. In every instance, they can see what others miss, are enthusiastic about doing what others will not, and achieve what no one has ever imagined.

While many are driven by the force of ambition, most were going to be historic achievers whether or not they wanted it. Their passion, skills, and tenacity are invisible forces that providentially propel them into leadership, adversity, and life challenges that would overwhelm most people but ultimately define their role in history. John Michael Chambers, from Long Island, is such a man.
The highlights of his legacy include:
. Founded American Media Periscope (AMP), a cutting edge Conservative news network.
. Publishing 5 books, with one best seller on Amazon.
. Supported and helped to launch numerous Patriot podcasters.
. Established a wartime website portal.
Supported many non-profits, including Operation Underground Railroad, founded by Tim Ballard, to rescue and rehabilitate children from a life of sex trafficking.

Perseverance and help from others are necessary to survive.
