TRUTH MATTERS®: If London Can Clean the Thames, Why Can’t Washington Clean the Potomac?
Adam Reiser & Michelle Tan on Years of Reshoring, Blockchain, and Cleaning America’s Rivers
I’m Adam Reiser, a U.S. Navy veteran, entrepreneur, and outdoorsman. Together with Michelle Tan and our team, we’ve spent decades fighting for accountability — in manufacturing, in supply chains, in food systems, and in the environment.
I grew up in Pompton Lakes, New Jersey, a town poisoned by corporate negligence. Toxic chemicals destroyed families and futures. That experience taught me one thing: pollution doesn’t care about politics. For 27+ years, I’ve been on a mission to reshore industries back to the United States and to build systems that clean up messes — not bury them.
That mission became two companies:
- MADE IN USA Inc. — restoring industries with Made in USA Certified® and Product of USA Certified® validation for farms, fisheries, and food production, while reshoring manufacturing and supply chains.
- Verity One Ltd. — pioneering blockchain + AI certification and launching Veritize™, which powers Nutrient Credits, IoT-tracked environmental data, and tokenized real-world assets.
We’ve already set milestones: we certified the first U.S.-Certified mined Bitcoin for the U.S. Reserve, and we are now working to extend Product of USA Certified® into food supply chains for farmers, ranchers, and fisheries nationwide.
The World Listens — But Washington Doesn’t
At Bitcoin Asia in Hong Kong, Michelle and I — along with our colleagues Travis and Dylan — came with one goal: to advance reshoring, blockchain-powered Nutrient Credits, and accountability in food and water systems. We also sought a meeting with Eric Trump, believing he would understand the importance of reshoring industries, strengthening U.S. farms, and cleaning America’s rivers.
Instead, we were told the price of access: $275,000 for an introduction. More if we wanted a meeting.
Let me be clear: I don’t believe Eric Trump or his family members have any idea this is happening. They don’t know people are monetizing their names like this. But that’s what we encountered — in our own Capital’s ecosystem.
Meanwhile, in Monaco, Abu Dhabi, Singapore, London, and Nice, doors open freely. Princes, ministers, and heads of state welcomed us to share solutions. They see blockchain, AI, and oyster-based Nutrient Credits as tools to clean water, restore ecosystems, and build accountability markets.
So why is it easier to meet a Prince in Monaco than a policymaker in Washington, D.C.? --- Adam Reiser
Reshoring + Food Accountability = Strength
Through MADE IN USA Inc., we’re focused on reshoring three critical industries:
- Semiconductors & Chips — America cannot depend on adversaries for its most critical technology.
- Small Motors & Components — vital to defense, energy, and industry.
- Food & Agriculture — regenerative farming, fisheries, and aquaculture, including oysters that both feed people and clean water.
Food sovereignty is as critical as chips or motors. That’s why we are expanding Product of USA Certified® for U.S. farms, ensuring consumers know where their food comes from — and that it complies with MCOOL (Mandatory Country of Origin Labeling), a requirement our partners like USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins have fought hard to uphold.
And it’s why we align with voices like HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has championed a cleaner, healthier food system. Food should nourish families, not poison them — and we are building the certifications, labels, and blockchain systems to guarantee that.
The Potomac: America’s Shame and Opportunity
The Potomac River, flowing through Washington, should be our symbol to the world. Instead, it’s filthy. Meanwhile, oysters in the Chesapeake Bay are already proving the solution works — and London’s Thames River is alive again thanks to the same approach.
If London can clean the Thames, if Monaco can mobilize for the Mediterranean, if the UAE and Hong Kong can embrace new accountability markets — why can’t Washington clean the Potomac?
A Call to Action
I grew up in a poisoned town. I refuse to watch America’s capital city rot the same way.
Michelle and I, with our team at MADE IN USA Inc. and Verity One Ltd., are not here for pay-to-play games. We are here for results:
- Oyster reefs that restore rivers.
- Blockchain and AI that guarantee truth.
- Nutrient Credits that make accountability profitable.
- Reshoring industries that secure America’s future.
- Product of USA Certified® labeling that protects our farms, fisheries, and families.
The world is listening. Now it’s time for Washington to listen, too.
Because if we can’t clean the Potomac River in our own Capital, how can we claim to lead the world?
