Research sessions involved systematic keyword searches across approximately 85 distinct search queries, covering every year from 1967 to 1985 with particular focus on election years (1969, 1971, 1973, 1975, 1977, 1979, 1981, 1983), the scandal years (1974–1976), and the development boom years (1971–1980). Each confirmed article was opened, read fully, photographically documented in the research log, and its complete text summarized.
Modern sources were located via targeted Google searches and fully fetched for reading. Six documents from the researcher's Google Drive account (orlandmfh@gmail.com) were read including personal testimony, forensic financial analysis of the Edwards Realty RDA, and court filings.
