ANSWER: POWER IS A THING OF PERCEPTION. THEY DO NOT HAVE TO KILL YOU. THEY JUST NEED YOU TO THINK THAT THEY CAN KILL YOU.

To solve the puzzle, enter the letters in the top half of the puzzle into the white squares on the grid pattern below, staying in their own columns, and be used exactly once. The black squares in the grid, as well as punctuation, are not to be used by letters. Some words will continue from one row to another.

Here's a hint: I know you put the hints and solution in yellow font so it is nigh-on unreadable unless you highlight it, and that is a great way to do it.

Unfortunately, when you put the hints and solution in the main body of the text, it also shows up IN BLACK on the main list of articles preview.

Put the hints and solution as a separate reply to your post.

Arggh...thanks. I also have author bios that can be used as filler but I think the reply method is better. I’ll do it that way from now on.

I see the link is “self published.”

Do you create these puzzles yourself?

[GOP Congress]

Yes. I was originally commissioned by a website to create the puzzles, but they are selling the site so I am free now to use it to create my own puzzles.

has anyone archived the dump yesterday by Wikileaks. It was a ton of new files I don’t see it anymore.

Seems to be a huge dump at Wikileaks yesterday:
We need to archive what we can.
