About American Nuremburg: The U.S. Officials Who Should Stand Trial for Post-9/11 War Crimes by Rebecca Gordon...

No subject is more hotly debated than the extreme measures that our government has taken after 9/11 in the name of national security. Torture, extraordinary rendition, drone assassinations, secret detention centers (or “black sites”), massive surveillance of citizens. But while the press occasionally exposes the dark side of the war on terror and congressional investigators sometimes raise alarms about the abuses committed by U.S. intelligence agencies and armed forces, no high U.S. official has been prosecuted for these violations – which many legal observers around the world consider war crimes.

The United States helped establish the international principles guiding the prosecution of war crimes – starting with the Nuremberg tribunal following World War II, when Nazi officials were held accountable for their crimes against humanity. But the American government and legal system have consistently refused to apply these same principles to our own officials. Now Rebecca Gordon takes on the explosive task of “indicting” the officials who – in a just society – should be put on trial for war crimes. Some might dismiss this as a symbolic exercise. But what is at stake here is the very soul of the nation.

MAS SAJADY

After his second near death experience, Mas Sajady was gifted with intuitive and healing abilities so remarkably potent that he was soon likened to some of the most significant healers in history. Mas works on the core frequency level to help redesign and reprogram your blueprint, materializing fast and tangible results and manifesting abundance in all areas of life. Thousands around the world have transformed their lives after just one or a few sessions with Mas. “Change your frequency, change your life,” shares Mas.

Areas of Transformation
Relieve Persistent Health Issues
Supercharge Finances
Heighten Relationships
Rise to True Spirituality
Transform Businesses
Sharpen Intuition
Enhance Beauty
Accelerate Success

Mas Sajady has always been intuitively gifted. Like many others, he tried to hide or ignore his highly intuitive nature so he could “fit in”. It is for this reason Mas has always strongly advised parents to support children who have similar affinities. It literally took Mas two near death experiences to awaken and embrace his abilities.

His first near death experience was in his early twenties. Aside from the crushed jaw and torqued neck, it was the best experience he has ever had.

“The beauty, peace and love present during this experience can never compare to anything we have on earth at this physical level”, says Mas. After this experience, his intuitive abilities were heightened and he was able to sense future events and the internal issues of others.

Mas’ intuitive abilities were then pushed aside as his family life took over. His children and his successful web development business took center stage during this time of his life.

His second near death experience occurred in 2006. This was his second best life experience. This second near death experience opened Mas to even higher levels of awareness where miracles can and do happen.

To clarify, Mas does not have the power to heal; rather he acts as the “conduit” for pure energy to manifest this healing from a higher energy field. These fundamental shifts can impact anyone’s physical, emotional, financial or spiritual health, and all areas of relationships, creating 360° of Abundance.

Although his abilities have been compared to religious figures, a healing with Mas has no religious significance. It is spiritual in nature. It is for this reason that Mas’ diverse community consists of clients of all faiths and beliefs.

Mas began studying similar near death experiences in order to understand the incredible shift he was undergoing. The closest explanation he found was in the field of Quantum Physics.

The most important lessons come to him through meditations where, since his crossovers, these meditations have become even more vivid; he enters a dream-like state but wide awake and aware of his surroundings. At times he transcends his physical body and from these meditations gains knowledge on a multitude of subjects, including spiritual and earthly matters. Over time his healing abilities have been magnified and sessions have been condensed, generating significant shifts at the core level.

He started working on clients professionally in November of 2009. Within less than a year, he had worked on over a thousand individuals who were drawn to him by referral. Through his daily mediation sessions and frequent speaking engagements worldwide, Mas has been able to touch countless individuals around the world. Whether it is physical or emotional health, finances, relationships or spirituality, Mas can change your frequency in order to Be Limitless & enjoy 360° of Abundance in all aspects of your life.

A personal statement from Rosemary:

Like many people, my interest in the paranormal began in childhood, inspired by experiences, extraordinary dreams, an intense interest in astronomy, and a voracious reading of nonfiction and fiction related to the paranormal, occult, science fiction and fantasy. My interests were always wide-ranging, and that continues to characterize my research and work today. All things in the paranormal and metaphysical realms are interconnected. My research includes history, mythology, folklore, religion, occult traditions, psychology, parapsychology, science, medicine, anthropology, and archaeology, as well as anecdotal experience.

My work is oriented around the how and why of our extraordinary experiences. It was clear to me early in life that the paranormal and the unseen realms are real, and that human beings have encounters and experiences that have been documented since ancient times. Our experiences form patterns throughout history that reveal our constant interaction with the afterlife, spirit realms, other dimensional realities, the Divine, and uncharted territories.

I examine both the light and dark sides of our experiences, from the mystical and angelic to the invasive, demonic, and problematic. To know one side, you must also know the other.

Bio:

After being a hairdresser for many years, Cheril was drawn to begin something new. Her first inclination was massage therapy. After studying and working as a massage therapist, she began to study hypno therapy, and then NLP psychology. Adding to her education, she studied kinesiology, Bach Flower Remedies, and then became an Ordained Minister. She also took other classes in addiction and how spirit possession is disrupting inner peace.

She had a mentor named Mary Simion who spent years helping her understand astrology. On her own, she explored numerology, along with classes that dealt with the science of the mind/body.

What really placed her on the journey that led where she is today, was a result of a simple question. One day while she was doing a massage on a client, as is customary, she asked the massage client if she was having any problems she wanted Cheril to focus on. The client told Cheril that she had a pain in her back. Off handedly, Cheril asked the client how long she had been bothered with this pain, It was the client reply that set into motion a new journey for Cheril that would last over 30 years. The client told Cheril that her pain began 4 months prior, after which she went on to say, “this pain in my back is the same pain I experienced 20 years ago.”

Out of curiosity,Cheril asked her just what happened 4 months ago, to which she replied, “my mother died.”

The question was, how could this woman know that it was the exact same pain that she experienced 20 years ago, and why was there a 20-year lapse between the incidents?

With this, Cheril began to question other massage clients about their specific physical pain, and low and behold a pattern began to emerge.

The more she learned, the less she understood, so she kept asking more questions. Once a question was wholly answered, a new question would emerge. The more Cheril learned, the more she wanted to understand.

As Cheril began to understand the mind/body connection, she began to notice that a whole picture began to emerge. It was at this time she understood that she was being directed, but at this point she had no idea towards what.

After many years, she began to understand that her method of learning was coming out of time.

The next step she took was to explor the 4th dimension. She began to understand that there were memories in time that could be accessed that would help the individual understand their own probem, and also their own solution., Thus, she began to explore memories that had been lost in time. Within these memories whole new understanding is available. What Cheril was being shown  during the time she was a practicing massage therapist was how to help individuals access these lost memories in time.

The Plan to help individuals put a whole picture together to understand these lost memories in time is called One Wholeness Now.  It is this Plan that allows individuals to wholly reconnect with their unlimited Spirit. Once a whole picture in time has been defined, the Spirit gently moves into its natural first place in time. This is called Miracle Alchemy.

Cheril is the developer of the Living Water Frequencies.The frequency in the Living Water will connect the consciousness of the individual to the 4th dimension, and will also place the individual in their proper alignment with the Heavens.

Living Water is also in perfect alignment with the Natural Flow of the Earth. This Natural Flow is also found in the 4th dimension. With consistency and forethought, the unlimited Spirit will begin to be acknowledged as having the Identity that must be accepted first in time, over the body identity.

Sylvie Ivanowa has devoted her live to exploring the nature of consciousness and the levels of reality. Spending almost 2 years in the Peruvian jungle with Ayahuasca and a near death experience have been the most profound transformational periods of learning in her life. She believes that her attempts to recover the lost history of the human races are not simply about correcting the records of the bygone eras, but part of rediscovering who are we, the humans. Besides making documentaries on the lost history she is an artist and has just launched megaliths.org, a platform meant to unite both professionals and laymen in research for discovering the genuine history of Earth and the various races of its inhabitants.

Wayne Pacelle (puh-SELL'-ee) is President and Chief Executive Officer of The Humane Society of the United States.

Pacelle took office June 1, 2004, after serving for nearly 10 years as the organization's chief lobbyist and spokesperson.

Under Pacelle's leadership, The HSUS has been approved by the Better Business Bureau for all 20 standards for charity accountability, voted by Guidestar's Philanthropedia experts as the #1 high-impact animal protection group, named by Worth Magazine as one of the 10 most fiscally responsible charities, and is ranked in the top 10 for nonprofit brands.

During his tenure as HSUS President and CEO, Pacelle has spurred major growth for the organization, which is now the nation's largest animal protection organization with 11 million members and constituents, annual revenue of $160 million, and assets of more than $200 million. The organization is the 155th largest charity in the United States. The growth has partly been achieved through successful mergers with other animal protection organizations. In 2004, Wayne Pacelle and Michael Markarian (President of The Fund for Animals and now Chief Program and Policy Officer of The HSUS) helped engineer the corporate combination of The HSUS and The Fund for Animals, the national organization founded by Cleveland Amory. In 2006, Pacelle was the architect of a combination with the Doris Day Animal League, which was founded nearly 20 years ago by iconic actress Doris Day, and is one of the major American animal protection organizations. He created the Humane Society Veterinary Medical Association, after the formerly named Association of Veterinarians for Animal Rights was brought into the HSUS family.

Wayne Pacelle has also dramatically grown the animal care programs of The HSUS. He arranged a corporate combination with the SPCA Wildlife Care Center (now the South Florida Wildlife Center) of Broward County, Fla.—now the fifth animal care center of The HSUS. The HSUS created Duchess Sanctuary, a safe haven for horses in Oregon, in 2008, and acquired the Cleveland Amory Black Beauty Ranch and The Fund for Animals Wildlife Center in Southern California, in 2005 with the union with The Fund for Animals. The HSUS provides services for more animals than any other animal protection organization in the United States.

Since 1990, Pacelle and Markarian have played a central role in more than 25 successful statewide ballot measure campaigns. In 2010, Pacelle led the effort to pass Proposition B in Missouri, which is the first statewide ballot measure addressing the problem of cruelty at puppy mills. In 2008, he led the effort to pass Proposition 2 in California, halting the intensive confinement of 20 million farm animals. Prop 2 was the third in a series of anti-factory farming measures he and HSUS advanced, with Florida voters banning the use of gestation crates for housing breeding sows (Amendment 10 in 2002) and Arizona voters putting a stop to the use of gestation and veal crates (Proposition 204 in 2006). He led successful efforts to ban the use of bait and dogs in the hunting of bears, cougars and bobcats in Colorado (Amendment 10 in 1992), Massachusetts (Question One [PDF] in 1996), Oregon (Measure 18 in 1994), and Washington (Initiative 655 in 1996); to ban the use of cruel traps in California (Proposition 4 in 1998), Colorado (Amendment 14 in 1996), Massachusetts (Question One in 1996), and Washington (Initiative 713 in 2000); to outlaw cockfighting in Arizona (Proposition 201 in 1998), Missouri (Proposition A in 1998), and Oklahoma (State Question 687 in 2002); and to ban mourning dove hunting in Michigan (Proposal 3 in 2006), among other ballot measures. In 1996, Campaigns and Elections named him "a rising star in politics," saying the honor was "largely for his achievements in crafting, qualifying, and passing statewide ballot initiatives."

He led successful campaigns to defeat ballot measures hostile to animal protection in California (Proposition 197 in 1996), Oregon (Measure 34 in 1994), Arizona (Proposition 201 in 2002 and Proposition 109 in 2010) and Oklahoma (State Question 698 in 2002). Pacelle previously served on the national advisory board for the Initiative and Referendum Institute, and is a frequent speaker on the initiative and referendum process.

Wayne Pacelle and The HSUS have worked for the passage of more than 500 new state laws since 2005, and he has helped to pass more than 25 federal statutes to protect animals in the last decade—including laws to protect the great apes in their native habitats (2000), to halt any interstate transport of fighting animals (2002) and to make interstate transport of fighting animals a felony (2007), to halt commerce in big cats for the pet trade (2003), to establish federal standards to include pets in disaster planning and response (2006), to ban the import of puppy mill dogs from foreign countries (2008), to require accurate labeling of fur garments (2010), to combat cruel "animal crush" videos (2010), and to strengthen protection for sharks from the inhumane practice of finning (2011). He has also been the architect of a large number of amendments to halt funding for programs to harm animals, including a program to halt funding for the mink industry and the slaughter of American horses for human consumption.

He has testified before U.S. House and Senate committees on a wide range of animal protection issues, on subjects relating to the mistreatment of downer cows, the banning of "canned hunting," securing adequate funding for the Animal Welfare Act and other wildlife and animal protection programs, halting the trophy hunting of threatened and endangered species, combating cockfighting and dogfighting, stopping horse slaughter, cracking down on puppy mills, stemming the exotic pet trade, halting bear baiting, protecting Yellowstone's buffalo, and managing Chronic Wasting Disease.

Wayne Pacelle's work on animal issues has been featured in thousands of newspapers and magazines across the country. He has been profiled in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post and Los Angeles Times, and has appeared on almost all of the major network television programs—including "60 Minutes," "The Today Show," "Ellen," "Oprah," "The News Hour with Jim Lehrer," "Larry King Live," "Good Morning America," MSNBC's "Morning Joe," and ABC's "Primetime Live." Pacelle spoke at The City Club of Cleveland (2011), and City Club of Portland (2011), and TEDxManhattan (2012).

In addition, Pacelle is an experienced writer with numerous pieces published in a variety of newspapers, journals and magazines, including Foreign Affairs, Human Dimensions of Wildlife, Campaigns & Elections, and George Wright Society. He has written columns for dozens of major daily newspapers, including The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, Baltimore Sun, Dallas Morning News, Detroit Free Press, St. Petersburg Times, The Seattle Times and San Francisco Chronicle. He has written chapters in a number of books dealing with animal issues and the initiative process. Pacelle's best-selling book, The Bond: Our Kinship with Animals, Our Call to Defend Them, was published in April 2011, and his book The Humane Economy: How Innovators and Enlightened Consumers are Transforming the Lives of Animals was published in April 2016 (both books are published by William Morrow, an imprint of Harper Collins). He also blogs at A Humane Nation, where he covers the latest news and insights into our relationship with animals, and keeps readers informed about efforts to protect them.

Wayne Pacelle is the founder of Humane USA, the non-partisan political arm of the animal protection movement, and the founder of The Humane Society Legislative Fund, a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization that lobbies for animal welfare legislation and works to elect humane-minded candidates to public office. Working with both organizations, Pacelle has helped to defeat some of the most active anti-animal welfare politicians in the United States, including Rep. Joe Knollenberg of Michigan (2008), Rep. Richard Pombo of California (2006), and Rep. Chris John of Louisiana (2004).

Prior to joining The HSUS, Pacelle served as the Executive Director of The Fund for Animals (1988-94). Pacelle also served as Associate Editor (1987-88) and, later, President of the Board for The Animals' Agenda magazine, and as a guest instructor for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Refuge Training Academy. He serves on the board of the Humane Society Wildlife Land Trust, Humane Society International, the South Florida Wildlife Center, Global Animal Partnership and Humane USA. In 2006, Wayne Pacelle co-founded the National Federation of Humane Societies (NFHS), a trade association principally representing local humane societies across the nation, and he now serves on the board of that organization.

In 2008, the Los Angeles Times reported, "Pacelle has retooled a venerable organization seen as a mild-mannered protector of dogs and cats into an aggressive interest group flexing muscle in state legislatures and courtrooms." In 2007, The New York Times reported, "The arrival of Wayne Pacelle as head of the Humane Society in 2004 both turbo-charged the farm animal welfare movement and gave it a sheen of respectability." In 2008, Supermarket News included Pacelle on its annual Power 50 list of influential individuals in food marketing, writing that "there's no denying his growing influence on how animal agriculture is practiced in the United States."

Wayne Pacelle was named one of NonProfit Times' "Executives of the Year" in 2005 for his leadership in responding to the Hurricane Katrina crisis. In 2008, 2009, 2013, 2014 and 2015, The "NonProfit Times" named Pacelle to its annual "Power and Influence Top 50" nonprofit executives. In 2008, the National Italian American Foundation presented Pacelle with the Special Achievement Award in Humanitarian Service. In 2010, Pacelle received the Knight of Honor Award from Notre Dame High School.

Wayne Pacelle received his B.A. in History and Studies in the Environment from Yale University in 1987.

David Low, MS PhD is an author, former Adjunct Professor of Religion, drug counselor, and entertainer—a juggler for a few years out of college (which he still enjoys doing for charity groups). Today he does dreamwork, teaches meditation, and speaks on topics in popular spirituality and religion.

The first time David meditated in college, he had a powerful experience of light and transcendence. After getting his counseling degree he traveled extensively and visited different Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Sufi, Jewish, Christian, and Orthodox Sunni and Shi’ia Muslim groups, all the while recording sometimes “spectacular” dream experiences.

After getting initiation from his major teacher, David began having powerful dreams which ended up directing major decisions in his life, sometimes involving deities and other consistent entities aside from his teacher. In 2014, an epiphany” led him to write his first book, Universal Spiritual Philosophy and Practice: in Informal Textbook for Discerning Seekers.

His greatest passion is getting people to tune into more profound dimensions of spirituality, at both the personal and political levels. Aside from dreamwork, another tool he uses to do this is his “9-Point Spirituality System,” which helps people fine-tune what they are already doing in their lives to reach deeper levels of their own being.

ALLIE JO THOMAS

Allie Jo Thomas is a singer/songwriter who was raised in Sun Valley, CA.  She attended Village Christian High School and Cal State Northridge University where she majored in Theater Arts.  During her college days she began singing in a few local rock bands… and while waitressing at Bob’s Bib Boy in Burbank, she met and fell in love with a Professional Boxer named Joe Kowalski.  They married in 1983.

Today allie is a Mother, a Grandmother, and a Sunday School teacher who loves to write songs and jingles.

In 1999 Allie and her family decided to have an adventure and moved to Tennessee to pursue her dream to be a Country Singer and Songwriter… In 2003, after completing a lullaby CD for Chelsey Studios in Brentwood, Tennessee, ALle was asked by Jill Larsen of Chase – West Productions, to record a Country Children’s CD at Jay’s Place on Music Row… within a span of 3 years, she recorded 4 children’s CDs (one for each Season), entitled “Kids, Critters and Country at Allie’s Place.”

Allie’s Children’s Music actually has a Country/Theater feel to it, since she was heavily influenced by all of the popular theatrical music that she was hearing while bringing her young daughters to dance classes for so many years…

Allie has won some songwriting contests including the COW Fest.  She has performed many times for “Thomas the Train” at the Filmore Train Station in California, and in Chicago, IL, for “I Love Music,” week, and also in Puerto Rico…

Her music is loved and enjoyed by children of all ages from the tiniest of tots to precious Grandparents and Great grandparents.  Allie’s music is wholesome and very family oriented as she tries to give something to everyone when she is singing…

Allie’s music is refreshing and uplifting… usually including heartfelt story/songs about her life when she was raising her children…  Allie loves to encourage and inspire children and grown-ups to “Reach for the Stars.”

She sings in schools, churches and festivals… since Allie’s real name is Alice… (she was named after the lead character in Walt Disney’s “Alice in Wonderland” movie), she is a huge Walt Disney fan.  Her dream is to someday work for “the mouse.”

Her Father, a U.S. Marine who was in Korea, worked for many years for MAYPO (that’s short for M”Mary Poppins) in Burbank, CA… where he always wanted her to audition… Allie, (who is presently a happy caregiver for a wonderful young man named Daniel), hopes to accomplish that dream sometime in her future…
