Artchix Magazine Names Ralph Thomas Person Of The Year For 2010

When ArtChix Magazine chose its ‘Person of the Year for 2009, President Barack Obama was the clear favorite. For reasons that were anything but political, we chose President Obama for meeting the criteria we set in a profound way.

This year our readers helped us narrow down the list like they did last year. But this year it wasn’t a politician or a Hollywood member of the glitterati that came out ahead.

Our 2010 ArtChix Magazine ‘Person of the Year’ beat out two big names on our list. George Clooney and Angelina Jolie represented Hollywood and despite their contributions in other areas, our readers wanted what they called ‘a real American’ who was ‘a real influence’. It was funny that our readers looked outside of Hollywood or Washington to find those qualities (laughing) and, as they say, the rest is history.

ARTCHIX FEATURE COVER:
EXCLUSIVE! RALPH THOMAS INTERVIEW ON THE SPY MUSEUM, NAIS AND HIS LEGACY. JUNE 17, 2010 ISSUE

Ralph Thomas is well known to ArtChix Magazine fans. He has graced the cover countless times, more than any Hollywood celebrity and for no other reason than he is a living legend as far as spymasters go. But the Thomas legend goes far beyond the private spy industry. There is a depth of character, abundant patriotism and a love for people that transcends his business. Quite simply, Ralph Thomas is all about people. He could climb atop his throne and perch there and not a single individual could say he hasn’t earned that right. But he shares his throne with others, especially youthful, aspiring entrepreneurs and private spies who want to know how to be the best at what they do. Thomas also has a sense of history. As he takes so many young spies under his wing, he also gives them history to use to their advantage. His private spy museum is one example of his love for history for the business Of private spycraft. His collection is vast and his knowledge is comprehensive. Thomas is a spymaster, but he’s also a talent scout when it comes to spycraft and art. When he sees innovation and talent, he doesn’t just cheer from the sidelines. He gets into the trenches and becomes involved. He’s a doer, not a talker. He is a legend of his craft and admired by a whole litany of private spies and entrepreneurs who rely on him for advice and treasure his support. Click Here To Read The Cover Story

Texas Spy: An Exclusive With Ralph Thomas


Ralph D. Thomas is from Texas and when you look at him you know it. He is passionate about his craft. His interests are high tech electronics for law enforcement, investigation and security. He is passionate about Native American culture and their heritage. He loves Jennifer Lopez and anything she sings. He’s a fan of The Rockford Files. old Westerns and American Idol. He is a fan of Clint Eastwood’s movies and, as one might suspect, a fan of James Bond and Mission Impossible. His favorite books include John Adams by David Mccullough (ArtChix likes anything Mr. Mccullough writes as well) and is somewhat of a scholar on the events surrounding the Kennedy Assassination. Ralph D. Thomas loves history and he loves his country. While he may not be fond of a particular president, he makes clear that his passion and respect for the institution of the Presdiency is far greater than any one man. Ralph D. Thomas is all-American. He’s about as American as American can get.

When you first meet Ralph Thomas, you are somewhat intimidated by the piercing eyes and the serious, “We’re comin’ to get ya” look on his face. He’s handsome, with his silver hair and Texas-cowboy style. One is drawn to him. You want to know him. You have to know him. But how does one do that? It is not as difficult as it appears. Thomas is lovable, funny and one of those people who will help anybody who is willing to work hard to achieve their dreams. He believes in dreams. The kind of dreams from which the “American Dream” is born. His faith in the founding principles of the country are as strong as any these days, if not stronger. And, quite simply, he loves people.

ArtChix Magazine Feature Story
A SPYMASTER MOMENT IN HISTORY FROM RALPH THOMAS

My Hero John F Kennedy, The Man That Saved
The World From Nuclear Annihilation Flaws And All!


By Ralph D. Thomas - My Hero John F Kennedy

John F. Kennedy was swept into power by the narrowest of margins of any presidential campaign in America’s history at the time. A mere 100,000 votes separated the winner from the loser and many thought the election was stolen by hanky panky going on in South Texas and around Chicago Illinois. But faith and I believe a higher power put John Kennedy into the oval office and if he would have not been there during the crisis that was about to happen, the United States, Russia and the world as we know it might have very easily been destroyed with a nuclear war. I believe today that if it would not have been for President Kennedy, that would have likely occurred as you will see.

A Personal Statement About Jana Mashonee From Ralph Thomas
As many of you know, Barbara and I have always been passionate about Native Americans and Native American Culture and you have often heard me remark that Barbara is the best looking woman who is part Cherokee! Well folks we have developed a relationship with the people at Miss Molly Records who has a rising star that is a singer/songwriter and actress who is Native American from the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina. Her name is Jana Mashonee. Jana has had a successful singing career in the Indian Music market and is now considered one of the top performers in that market. She is now breaking out of the Indian Music Market and going mainstream and we need your help and support to take Jana all the way to the top and watch music history made. This will be the first time in the history of music that a Native American makes it all the way. Please come and join us in this exciting trip to the stars by helping Jana. You can do that by stopping in at her web site and buying her CDs and songs as well as join her fan club and Facebook page. Come and join us in this great journey because Jana my friends is going all the way to the top! -Ralph
