Subjects of Interest

As with my reviews of Myron Grace’s Facebook posts from 2019, 2020, and 2021, I began examining his 2022 activity expecting more of the same. That's exactly what I found. Eventually, continuing felt pointless. Not because there was nothing left to expose, but because there was nothing new. Just the same tired routine: big claims, fake polish, and nothing to show for it.


By now, the playbook is obvious. Myron Grace paints himself as a publishing insider, a media executive, a radio host, and a “wounded” Navy veteran who says he was discharged after contracting smallpox. He claims ties to Viacom, Disney, CBS, Simon and Schuster. Everyone, apparently. He offers to take your book to Hollywood, promote it to eight million listeners, ghostwrite your story even though his public posts are riddled with errors, feature authors on his radio show even though critics describe his voice as oftentimes incoherent, market your brand even though forums are filled with complaints, and pitch your series. He name-drops Maya Angelou, Terry McMillan, and others. He says he has helped sell nearly six and a half million books and worked with nearly four thousand clients. All very impressive, until you start fact-checking.


Because outside of his own posts, nothing checks out.


No confirmed success stories. No contest winners. No meaningful IMDb credits. No bylines. No publishing contracts. No testimonials. No record of results. The only trail is the list of lawsuits he has lost.


What does exist are screenshots. Always promising something is around the corner. Always promoting. Never delivering.


He says he's a ghostwriter, a producer, a CEO, a law student, a computer engineer, a wounded veteran, a spiritual advisor, and an expert in nonviolence. But it's all noise. A nonstop stream of grand titles and bigger claims that fall apart the moment you start asking questions.


At this point, calling Myron Grace a scammer almost feels generous. A scam suggests effort. It implies structure. It requires at least a fake deliverable. Myron Grace doesn't deliver. He just posts. He floods the feed with inflated numbers and hollow claims, hoping no one slows down to check. Ironically, he rarely checks his own posts either, because they often contradict each other.


Myron Grace doesn't even rise to that level, but he targets vulnerable people, too. African-American creatives. Women. Indie authors. Musicians. Anyone chasing a dream with a few hundred dollars to spare. But his scheme has no structure, no polish, and no real strategy. Just ego, flyers, and a Facebook timeline. And if anyone challenges him, he rushes to cite his Cooley Law School education. He sends threats and copies emails to his Yahoo account under a misspelled “Jusice Foundation,” hoping the theatrics will scare people off.


What Myron Grace is selling isn't a service. He's selling himself. He markets the illusion of influence. He likely bets that someone will pay before they realize how thin the act really is.


As we say in Texas, Myron Grace is all hat and no cattle. The image he pushes is flashy, but behind it, there’s nothing of substance, just more talk, more posing, and more empty promises.


That's the real story. Not a mogul. Not a publisher. Not a strategist. Just a man with a phone, a Facebook timeline, a flyer, and a fantasy. Selling smoke. Calling it success.


I have submitted a request for Myron Grace’s DD 214, the official military discharge record. Once that arrives, I'll post an update. Based on everything else he has said publicly, it's fair to question whether his service history will hold up any better than the rest.


All of this could have been avoided if he had simply removed my name from his marketing material. In March 2025, Myron Grace began emailing me out of nowhere. He likely scraped my email from author websites. He sent the same kind of promotional fluff that fills his Facebook pages. I asked to be removed. His response was to tell me to block him. Then he threatened to sue me for slander, proudly citing his education from one of the lowest ranked law schools in the country, Cooley.


Since he refused to remove me, I decided to do what I do best. I investigated.


I have spent more than thirty years in intelligence, investigations, and opposition research. I know how to follow leads, separate fact from fiction, and document records that withstand scrutiny. What you have read here barely scratches the surface.


So if Myron Grace or anyone acting on his behalf is considering threats, retaliation, or legal moves, here's the truth. What I have posted in my online journal is the controlled version. The professional version. The version reviewed for accuracy and risk.


I'm holding significantly more. Archived websites. Business registrations. Financial records. Social media backups. Former client video statements. And background checks—not those cheap instant reports from online gimmicks, but professional-grade investigations that draw from nonpublic databases used by law enforcement, intelligence agencies, and litigation support. The kind of data that doesn’t show up in a Google search. I also have documents Myron Grace likely forgot ever existed and now wishes were gone, including eviction records from government-subsidized housing, all while publicly presenting himself as a heavyweight in publishing, radio, film, and music.


In December 2020, he told authors he’ll cover up to ninety percent of the costs to turn their books into movies, Myron Grace was evicted from taxpayer-funded housing in 2012 for nonpayment of rent. That contradiction defines his public persona. A man promising Hollywood while struggling to keep a roof over his head. A roof paid for by the taxpayer. He sells the dream. But someone else always picks up the bill.


Myron Grace has claimed publicly on April 28, 2020 that he earned $952,000 over 15 years. That timeframe would have begun in 2005. But if that’s true, it means he was already pulling in substantial income during the period when he was evicted in 2012. Was that income properly disclosed to the Ohio housing authority? Because government-subsidized housing has strict income limits. Either he made far less than he claims, or he made more than allowed and failed to report it. He cannot have it both ways. The numbers don’t lie. But his story keeps changing.


Facebook post by Myron Grace.


According to his Facebook timeline, Grace founded Screenworks in 1999. He was evicted in 2012. If he was already making hundreds of thousands of dollars from clients by then, why was he still in subsidized housing? And if the money came later, then his 15-year income claims collapse under their own weight. Either way, the math doesn’t support the myth.


I have started assembling a report with court records and supporting screenshots for submission to the Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority. If anything improper or fraudulent occurred, they deserve to know. Whether he misled clients or misled the government, accountability is long overdue.


If he forces my hand, I won’t just release more. I’ll take him to court. And when that happens, eDiscovery will collapse his house of cards in full public view. That will be his worst nightmare. And frankly, it might be the only way to put an end to his game—for good. At least then, we’ll all get to see his Cooley Law School education in action, under oath, on record, and without a Facebook timeline to hide behind.


It'll be time to show this amateur what a real professional can do.


This isn't personal. This is professional. When someone runs a long con targeting people chasing a dream, they deserve a spotlight. And I'm more than capable of holding the light steady. In fact, I'm only giving Myron Grace what he has always wanted—attention. The spotlight. But if he keeps pushing, he'll get it in full. Only this time, it'll not be the version he controls. It'll be on the record, under oath, and directed at everything he would rather keep hidden. And I know what he's hiding! And soon, you will too!

Arthur Mills

Arthur Mills is a retired U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer 3 and former All-Source Intelligence Technician with more than 31 years of tactical, operational, and strategic experience. During his military career, he trained intelligence professionals, built threat models, and briefed commanders and world leaders on global threats and battlefield strategy.


After retiring from the Army, Mills launched Cicero Intel, where he served as Senior Intelligence Analyst. In the civilian sector, he has led investigations into domestic extremism, political fraud, and institutional abuse, exposing what others refused to confront.


Mills doesn't analyze theories. He dismantles them.


Misleading by Design is his latest project. It targets more than just higher education. From academic indoctrination to publishing scams to consumer manipulation, Mills follows the money, the motive, and the cover-up wherever they lead.

Why did you create Misleading by Design?

As a writer, I’ve experienced the joy of creating stories but also the frustration of navigating the publishing world. Behind the scenes, the process of marketing a book is filled with scams, schemes, and people looking to take advantage of authors. With over 30 years of experience in intelligence and investigations, I realized I could use those skills along with my writing background to help expose the bad actors in our industry and beyond. Misleading by Design is my way of fighting back.

Your projects seem all over the place. Why not just stick to one subject or theme?

At first glance, my projects might seem scattered. I write about ghost stories, spiritual preservation, investigative reporting, and even political analysis. But they all serve one purpose. Each one invites readers to interpret what they see based on their own beliefs, experiences, and instincts. That's the heart of Branching Plot Books. Whether it's a scroll sealed with a forgotten soul, a book that can be read multiple ways, or a report that exposes something hidden in plain sight, the goal is the same. I want readers to take an active role, to question the surface, and decide what they believe is real. The stories may differ, but the purpose is always connected.

What is Misleading by Design’s Briefing Room?

It’s an investigative blog that exposes political bias, fraud, scams, and manipulation in institutions that claim to educate or protect the public. That includes universities, publishing platforms, corporate programs, and anything else hiding an agenda behind a professional front.

Who runs this blog?

I do. Arthur Mills. I’m a retired U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer 3 and former All-Source Intelligence Technician with 31 years of experience in intelligence and investigations. I’ve tracked extremist threats, exposed political corruption, and led intelligence operations. I’ve seen what real indoctrination looks like, and I’m calling it out when I see it again. This time in classrooms and consumer markets.

Are you affiliated with any political group?

No. I don’t work for any party, PAC, campaign, or media outlet. I’m not here to push an agenda or play politics. I’m here to expose whoever’s lying, misrepresenting, or manipulating others, regardless of which side they’re on.


When I worked in the private sector, I conducted opposition research and tracked domestic extremist groups from across the political spectrum. I’ve investigated threats from both the left and the right. I don’t excuse violence, bias, or propaganda just because it aligns with one side’s agenda. If you're hiding your motives behind credentials, credentials behind ideology, or ideology behind fake neutrality, you're part of the problem. And you’ll show up here.

Why are you investigating food? What does this have to do with Branching Plot Books?

Because it’s the most common scam nobody talks about. Fast food chains show thick burgers and crisp fries in their ads, then hand you a flattened mess in a greasy bag. Grocery stores use packaging that promises quality but delivers bland, shriveled, or half-empty products. It’s manipulation through presentation. They sell the illusion, not the item.


And that’s the same trick used in education, politics, publishing, and everywhere else. If they can sell you a lie in a sandwich, they can sell it anywhere.


Misleading by Design fits the larger mission of Branching Plot Books by turning real-world scams into something the reader has to question, interpret, and investigate. Like my other projects, it doesn’t hand you answers. It gives you evidence, patterns, and contradictions, then dares you to put the pieces together. Whether it’s testimonies from the lost souls, curriculum bias, staged food ads, or publishing cons, the goal is the same: to make you rethink what you’ve been told and see how easily truth gets packaged, sold, and distorted.

What made you investigate American Military University?

Because it claims to train intelligence and homeland security professionals. What it’s actually doing is grooming students to think one way, speak one way, and ignore anything that doesn’t fit the school's left-wing agenda. That isn’t education. That's political indoctrination.


When I was tracking domestic extremist groups, I kept asking the same question. Where does this hate come from? What feeds it? I suspected the root was in their education. What they were taught. What they were not taught. That includes schools and universities.


After retiring from the military, I decided to get the formal education to match my experience. I chose a degree in Counter-Terrorism from American Military University. It promotes itself as a leader in intelligence, counter-terrorism, and homeland defense. It’s one of the largest programs of its kind. On paper, it looked like the right fit.


It wasn’t.


Course after course, it became clear that AMU wasn’t teaching students how to counter terrorism. It was teaching them how to adopt one worldview. How to view one side as the enemy. How to justify violence and extremism from the other. This wasn’t counter-terrorism. It was a curriculum on how to become a left-wing extremist.


I document everything. The entire report is published on The Briefing Room, in serialized form. I sent it to professors and top university officials. They ignored it. They didn’t defend their curriculum. They didn’t ask for clarification. They ignored me. They know I’m on to them.


That's why I’m staying in the program. I’m not there for the degree anymore. I don’t need it. I’m there to finish the investigation. American Military University has built a propaganda machine. And I plan to expose every part of it.

Do you accept tips or leads?

Yes. If you’ve seen something worth investigating, send it through my contact page. I check everything personally.


This includes curriculum bias at any level, from elementary schools to universities. If you’ve seen political agendas being pushed in grade school lesson plans, high school classrooms, college syllabi, or university programs, I want to hear about it. If you’ve dealt with fake credentials, unethical hiring, publishing fraud, corporate indoctrination, or institutional censorship, send it in. I follow evidence, not agendas.


If something feels off and you think no one else will touch it, send it anyway. I’ll look into it.
