BEYOND THE PARIS ATTACKS by Godfrey Harris

          Given the recent destruction of a Russian airliner over Sinai, the suicide bombings in Beirut and the horrific November 13 attack on Paris, no one can think that ISIS is done. They are going to come here just as surely as they have murdered Christians, beheaded Americans and accepted Boko Haram’s kidnappers into their terror network.

          If nothing else, ISIS will want to prove to its worldwide followers that neither the French retaliatory bombing of targets in Raqqa nor American drone strikes against its leaders has deterred them in their ultimate mission to destroy democracy and establish a worldwide caliphate.

          A few other things seem clear. Concern over whether comments could be interpreted as tarring an entire religion with the acts of its fanatical fringe is tantamount to taking an inventory of the table linens as the Andrea Dorea sinks. Arguing over whether we should refer to this vicious enemy as ISIL, ISIS, the Islamic State or Daesh seems to offer comfort to those who don’t want to deal with the reality of our safety; seeing this threat to America as part of an overall discussion of immigration policy only panders to the bumper sticker set. None of these matters bear on the security we seek or the truth we face:

          The Islamic State believes that only Allah has the wisdom and power to make laws governing man’s behavior. ISIS followers see all forms of democracy as a presumptuous interference in God’s work.

          In light of this, we need to stop thinking that the methods used in the Middle East and Europe are necessarily the same tools that would be used to strike the American homeland. We need to start thinking about defending our democratic institutions from assault in the same way we are protecting our physical sites from attack. Given the way ISIS has used television and social media to rally and recruit its followers, are we still prepared to do nothing to restrict the use of First Amendment rights to those who are committed to trying to extinguish their use by the rest of us?

          The Supreme Court has generally held that freedom of speech means virtually no prior restraint. While it is well accepted that free speech does not extend to falsely shouting “Fire!” in a crowded theater, the restriction is enforced and punishment administered only after someone actually does it.

          So the worrisome dilemma for Americans is that if we do nothing until serious harm befalls us, it could be too late to act in any meaningful way to reverse the damage. In fact, given the horrors already inflicted by ISIS on populations abroad, the initial destruction could be so severe, the havoc so widespread and the terror so pervasive that we might have difficulty recovering from it.

          Surely there must be a better way to protect our society and preserve the Bill of Rights than simply waiting for a calamity to occur before a ponderous judicial system moves to deal with the matter. Since the Founding Fathers were able to create a dazzling array of constitutional checks and balances to permit change while protecting minority positions, shouldn’t we be able to find the same kind of balance in terms of the First Amendment?

          One idea might be to create a mechanism called the Freedom Forum — a demographically representative, 15-member, Congressionally established, federal regulatory board to rule whether any imminent use of Bill of Rights freedoms could threaten society. While courts take time to receive, certify and hear an issue after the fact, Freedom Forum members serving staggered nine-year terms and connected by secure Internet applications would be specifically mandated to render quick determinations before an event occurs.

          Here are two examples from history where a Freedom Forum might have answered a key question quickly and fairly for all sides:

          • Was Lincoln’s suspension of habeas corpus an appropriate way to stop agitation by Confederate sympathizers living in the North?

          • Was FDR’s interment of citizens of Japanese descent an acceptable precaution against a perceived threat?

          Of course, the Freedom Forum would be radical, different and at the edge of current Constitutional boundaries. But surely we need to have a conversation, given recent events, on how to establish a reliable and adaptive mechanism to preserve our most cherished rights from those who would use those rights to end them forever. Need we repeat the experiences of Russia at the end of World War I, Germany in the 1930s or Czechoslovakia in the late ‘40s when the machinery of their democratic systems was used to crush their further use?

          Let’s start talking before our institutions are crippled.

THE LIBERTY FOUNDATION PURPOSE

The mission of the Liberty Foundation is to raise donations in order to purchase newspaper space to tell the USS Liberty story. The USS Liberty Veterans Association (LVA) has tried for over 37 years to expose the true story of the deliberate Israeli attack on the USS Liberty to the American people through books, news media, movies, and letters to the President of the United States and congressmen. While we have encountered politicians and news media personnel who were willing to help, they have been unable to interest their superiors or others in supporting our cause. Many people believe it is just too politically risky or politically incorrect to confront the Israeli lobbyists and support groups. Please read on.

THE ISSUE

The Israelis do not want the truth to be told. It is obvious that they fear that America may be less of a supportive ally if the truth were known. The truth of their deeds and the Johnson Administration needs to be fully investigated. Congress has never officially investigated the attack and so the attack continues to be a cover-up of the worse magnitude. We believe the operational plans were FRONTLET 615 and Operation Cyanide. We have discovered that the USS Liberty was part of these plans. These documents should be declassified immediately and released to the American public for historic analytical purposes. The complicity of the Israelis and the Johnson Administration in starting the Six Day War alarmed the Soviet Union. The United States and the Soviet Union came closer to a nuclear confrontation than any other incident in history including the Cuban Missile crises. When the Soviets discovered that the U.S. was planning to enter the war militarily, they challenged President Johnson with a nuclear confrontation and President Johnson wisely backed down from any further military activities.



Note: Everything written heretofore and the remaining details are accurate and can be proven by corroborated individual witness testimony, logical deduction, and documentation.

SYNOPSIS OF OUR STORY

On June 8, 1967, the Israeli Defense Forces murdered 34 Americans on the high seas (31 sailors, 2 marines, and a NSA civilian). Out of a total compliment of 294 men, 70% of the crew became casualties as 172 were wounded in addition to the 34 killed.

For 6 hours the morning before the attack, the ship was subjected to intense scrutiny by Israeli photo-reconnaissance aircraft flying as low as 200 feet. The USS Liberty had traditional American markings on her bow (GTR-5) and stern (USS LIBERTY) flying a large American Flag, which stood out in the breeze, and sailing in international waters on a clear and sunny day. The ship was a WWII victory hull cargo ship modified to monitor and record ambient radio transmission and lightly armed with four 50 caliber machine guns.

The Israelis began the attack with 3 fighter jets which strafed, rocketed, and bombed the Liberty. This was followed with 3 torpedo boats that fired 30mm canons and torpedoes. Since the Liberty was a virtually unarmed vessel and not a military threat, at no time did the torpedo boats request the Liberty to surrender as did the North Koreans regarding the USS Pueblo in 1968. Responding to our SOS which was about 15 minutes into the Israeli attack, the USS Saratoga launched conventionally armed fighter aircraft to assist the USS Liberty and the USS America launched nuclear armed jet aircraft to bomb Cairo. Why Cairo? Our SOS did not identify the attacker at the time as the identity of the attacker was unknown. Within minutes after the launch, the White House recalled all aircraft abandoning the USS Liberty subjecting us to an additional 2 hours of an Israeli turkey shoot. In disbelief, RADM Geis, Sixth Fleet Carrier Division Commander, challenged the order (as was his right and responsibility in this situation). Unbelievably, the White House again reaffirmed the order to recall all aircraft despite our plea for help. Israelis destroyed one of the most advanced intelligence ships.

The Liberty was riddled with 821 holes, sustained 2 napalm bombs, and a torpedo blowing a 22 by 39 foot hole in her starboard side killing 25 of the 34 murdered. Miraculously, the Liberty refused to sink and was able to get underway under her own power. The Israelis were observed machine gunning 3 life rafts. It was obvious to the Liberty crew that survivors were not to be taken. When hostilities ceased, helicopters were observed overhead with Israeli commandos at the ready to finish us off. Fortuitously, the Israelis picked up an invalid message that U.S. help was on the way. Israel was reluctantly forced to terminate its ongoing attack. Ironically help did not arrive until 18 hours after the attack when the Liberty was only 15 minutes away from USS Saratoga and USS America fighter jets.

The US Naval official inquiry was deliberately falsified to compliment the Israeli story (as testified by retired Navy Lawyer, Captain Ward Boston). Details acquired were either changed or dropped so that the Israeli version which became public was that the attack was a tragic mistake. The orders to falsify came directly from President Johnson for political reasons. The survivors of the USS Liberty were told never to talk about the incident under penalty of fine and/or imprisonment. Military orders that followed were in line with the White House which was not to indicate on any monuments and the like that Israel was the attacker. The USS Liberty skipper, Captain William McGonagle was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for his actions to keep the ship afloat and operational. His award was given to him not by President Johnson at the White House. There is no other explanation to believe other than the President did not want to jeopardize the Jewish vote in an upcoming presidential election. The Captain’s medal was presented to him by the Secretary of the Navy at a low level Washington Navy Yard ceremony.

CONCLUSION

What a crime it would be for historical reasons if the US Government continues to lie about details of the Six Day War. In the end, truth always wins out. What a shame for elected officials who will not stand up to be counted. For the sake of our fallen 34 shipmates, we will not give up.

Yan Golding is a passionate cultural creative, yoga teacher, permaculture teacher, community builder, dancer and explorer of consciousness. Before the age of 18 he lived in five different countries and has continued traveling extensively so he never knows how to respond when people ask “Where are you from?”.

After graduating from a Quaker high school in the US he went to study aerospace engineering in The Netherlands. After 6 months he felt thoroughly saturated with the education system and became a ski-instructor. At 24 he embarked on a life-changing, 2 ½-year overland journey from Amsterdam to Australia, where he came in contact with meditation, yoga, wwoofing and rainbow gatherings. Since then he has participated sparingly in financial and cultural norms, retaining a natural curiosity (and sometimes bewilderment) for many of our social habits.

In 2002 Yan returned to South Africa with his partner, who he met in Auroville, India, to help create a community on 700 Ha of beautiful land. There he remained continuously for nine years, becoming the leading co-founder of Khula Dhamma Ecovillage. During that time he trained as a permaculture & ecovillage designer, massage therapist, vision quest facilitator, natural builder, yoga facilitator and taught himself a wide variety of skills related to sustainable and community living- including basic midwifery as he delivered his two beautiful daughters into this world.

In 2010, while attending an ecovillage design course, Yan was struck with a vision of an intentional unification and conscious collaboration among all people and groups who are dreaming and working for a brighter future. Since then he has devoted most of his creativity and energy towards raising awareness among the many branches of social change about our collective potential to work together to catalyse a fundamental cultural and systemic shift.

Currently Yan is serving as a lead focaliser for United Earth – an emerging global platform for unity and collaboration.

He now lives in South Portugal where he intends to co-create another ecovillage. Locally, he is part of the steering group for Transition Town Lagos and is exploring new paradigms and practices around gardening in conscious co-creation with Nature Intelligences.

Stem cell therapy is probably the hottest topic in medical research. The applications of stem cell therapy appear to be virtually endless. Studies have been done with numerous disease states such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, osteoarthritis, stroke, burns, and spinal cord injury. Stem cell therapy is even being tested to regenerate organs and teeth and to increase longevity.

About Brian David Andersen:

Brian grew up in the “burbs” of Dallas and graduated from Irving High School in 1971. A knee injury during his junior year of high school ended hopes of participating in small college basketball so he focused all of his energies on newspaper and commercial photography. Brian’s mother, Vonnie, worked as an editor for the Irving Daily News and Brian photographed numerous assignments for the paper including covering Dallas Cowboys football games as a sideline photographer.

During Brian’s freshman year of high school, a medical doctor persuaded his father and five other individuals that the cure for their diabetes was the surgical removal of their pituitary glands. Keith Andersen was the last of the five test victims to die. The loss of his father from this controversial medical procedure two weeks after Brian’s high school graduation made him acutely and painfully aware of the shortcomings of traditional western medicine.

After the first semester of his freshman year, Brian transferred from East Texas State University to the University of Missouri at Columbia to pursue his dream of photographing assignments for the National Geographic Magazine. His advisor was Missouri photojournalism instructor Cliff Edom who coined the word photojournalism and had placed over 10 of his students with the National Geographic photo staff over a 40-year teaching career. Unfortunately, Edom was forced into retirement during Brian’s sophomore year and replaced with as award winning newspaper photographer, Angus McDougal.

Due to his very strong portfolio, Brian was one of the youngest staff photographer interns to work for a major metropolitan newspaper during the summers of 1972 and 1973. An odd set of circumstances set the foundation for Brian having a spot news picture he took to be published on the front page the very first day he reported for work at the Dallas Times Herald

Meeting His Mentor

Brian’s freshman year he was given the assignment of photographing the home of the President of the University of Missouri. While breaking down his gear, Brian was approached by a man in his early sixties who asked him what he thought about the luxury residence. Brian proceeded to criticize the inconvenient entryway into the patio area. The man asked Brian if he would communicate his negative pinions to the architect? But before Brian could answer that question, the man extended his hand and said, “Well, your answer does not matter because I am the architect and my name is Hurst John and what is your name?”

Hurst was a self-taught residential and commercial architect. He was also a very radical believer and practitioner of alternative health care and medicine and a devoted health food nut. While Brian completed a photo-essay on Hurst, the eccentric architect became his mentor and Brian traveled the back roads and high society homes of Missouri with his new friend and confidant.

While in his sophomore year, Hurst asked Brian a key question: “Can a person who graduated from college really and truly call himself a free person?” Hurst urged Brian to observe his fellow classmates and teachers for the next year before answering that question. At the end of his junior year and a tumultuous relationship with photojournalism Professor McDougal, Brian concluded he could not consider himself a truly free person if he earned a college degree. He walked away from two scholarships paying his full tuition.

Full Encounter with Western Medicine

Brian went to work as a nursing technician and then a surgical technician at local hospitals in the Columbia, Missouri area. Eighty-five year old Ralph Loomis, an associate of Hurst John, operated a literacy program in Brazil and wanted to tour other humanitarian operations before visiting his facility. Brian accompanied Ralph throughout Central and South America during the summer of 1974.

A landmark event in Brian’s life was observing and photographing the health clinic operated by Carroll Behrhorst, MD in the rural area of Chimaltenango, Guatemala for the poverty-stricken Cakchiquel Indians. Twelve years earlier Dr. Behrhorst moved his family from a successful practice in Kansas to pioneer the field of rural tropical medicine. Brian was impressed and transformed by the attitudes and practices of Dr. Behrhorst that radically differed from the western medicine he was dealing with on a daily basis.

One month after returning from Dr. Behrhorst’s clinic, National Geographic published a fluff story and a very weak photo-essay about Guatemala. During his encounter with the Behrhorst clinic, Brian was given a crash course on how the corporations and the US military were decimating the Guatemala rural countryside for politics and profit. The Guatemala Brian experienced was quite different from the Guatemala depicted in the frivolous National Geographic text and pictures. Brian knew he had the talent to take pictures for any professional magazine. However, after his encounter with the Behrhorst clinic and observing the disappointing magazine article, he realized he would have had conflicts during long-term relationships with the up-side-down direction and purpose of publications such as National Geographic.

Charles Baxter, MD, the next-door neighbor of the Andersen family in Irving, TX and a world-renowned burn expert, arranged for Brian to experience four months hands-on training as a burn technician University of Texas Health Science Center. He then transferred to producing, directing and photographing training films for nurses and doctors specializing in burn therapy. After one year of being totally immersed in western medicine, Brian slowly came to the realization there was more to health than just surgery and drugs and he could no longer be part of traditional medicine.

Around the World

In 1978 Brian received a modest inheritance from his grandfather and the drums of international travel began to beat. He moved to San Diego, took a one-week crash course in SCUBA diving and crossed the Pacific to dive shipwrecks at Truk Lagoon. The photographer in him came out again and Brian headed to Thailand where he did a seven-month photo-essay of Phuket. His pictures depicted the reality of life for the people in the region. With minimal dive experience, he became a dive guide in the wild and wooly beginning days of the now resort vacation destination of Pattaya, Thailand.

From Thailand, Brian traveled to Russia and via East Berlin on to West Germany. While in Berlin, he contracted to be a dive guide for a group of Germans in the Red Sea. They drove a 1947 Mercedes Benz military truck to Venice, Italy and then took a ferry to Greece and then on to Haifa, Israel and then drove the truck on to Ras Mohammed on the very tip of the Sinai Peninsula.

At that time, the Sinai had just been turned back over to Egypt and was still under joint Egyptian/Israeli military control. While out on a hike out by himself Brian became lost. An unmarked F-4 Phantom jet noticed Brian in his French military pants and green outdoors shirt. The jet descended to 25 feet and Brian could see the pilot had opened his gun turret and was ready to fire. As the plane approached, Brian had no choice but to raise his hand and make hitchhiker motion with his thumb. Brian could see the teeth of the pilot as he hysterically laughed when passing over. During a second pass the navigator pointed Brian in the correct direction. Not far from this encounter, Moses had separated the waters of the Red Sea. Moses’ magical staff guided the former slaves of Egypt into the Sinai Desert and the crew of a mysterious F-4 Phantom guided Brian out of the Sinai Desert. However, Brian did not eat any manna bread from heaven but he did munch on numerous bags of organic granola.

Brian then traveled to Tel-Aviv where he was offered a photographic assignment by AP to go to Kenya. When he investigated the situation, he found out that the killing and extreme violence of the regime of Idi Amin in Uganda was spilling over into Kenya. Standing at the airport in Tel-Aviv, Brian bought a ticket back to Dallas.

Breakthrough Underwater Video Technology

Back stateside, Brian moved to San Diego where he worked as a freelance writer and photographer. Brian completed a photo-essay and video documentary on a prison-retraining program that teaches inmates to be commercial divers at the California Institution for Men at Chino. The photo-essay became a book co-authored by his brother Kevon titled Prisoners of the Deep and the video documentary titled Dive To Freedom was broadcast on several local cable stations.

The documentary was released in 1985. The underwater segments were taken by the first and best professional camera housing for the high-end Betacam and Ikegami video cameras of the 1980s. The underwater camera housing was inspired by Brian and co-designed and fully manufactured by his business partner Elwyn Gates.

Brian had Elwyn turn the mounting ring for the large Fuji lens 90 degrees so the width of the housing was under a sleek eight inches. All previous and competing professional underwater housings were big sewer pipes or boxes with difficult controls. The monitor was outside the housing and could be manipulated into various positions.

Due to Brian’s research and insistence, their video housing was the first underwater system to test and use a dome port for the camera lens. Elwyn was very skeptical about the dome port because camera housings using movie cameras could only use flat lens ports. Other underwater camera professionals prejudiced towards movie film cameras laughed at the idea for a dome port but Brian finally managed to persuade Elwyn to use his creative abilities for manifesting the first dome port to be deployed on an underwater video system.

Their dome port, cut from a domed ship compass container, was not only outstanding but also improved color saturation by 200 percent compared to a flat port. The dome port allowed full zoom of Fuji lens and eliminated refraction when the port is half in and half out of the water. With flat ports the upper portions are much smaller than the lower portions that are underwater. Elwyn went on to win an Emmy Award for Technical Achievement.

Brian was hired by the ABC network to video the windsurfing and yachting segments of the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. The uplifted dagger board of a catamaran swept within a few feet of the dome port while he bobbed in the water with his assistant Mike Pelissier, the co-founder of Ocean Technology Systems. The dynamic clip was used numerous times when transitioning from the various summer competition events to the commercials. It was while filming this segment that Brian sustained an injury to his right knee that would later provide the foundation for a major breakthrough in the history of his subtle energy research that was yet to come.

Brian was also hired by the French Provincial Government to participate in a documentary about the Salmon Run on the Saint Jean River in Eastern Canada that was the most popular television program on the government station in Quebec during 1985. The half out of water and half in water segments made the program.

Frustration set in with slow moving technology and the temperamental nature of Hollywood clients.

Brian exited the underwater television business in early 1987 to pursue a career as an independent researcher, inventor and scientist specializing in alternative health care.

Subtle Energy Research

With his journalism background, Brian entered the fields of chemistry, physics and alternative health care as an investigator seeking the truth rather than a student seeking a passing grade. Brian was free to take any kind of risks and follow all kinds of paths and he did not care what others thought about his theories, directions, methods, or goals.

The starting gun had fired for the marathon that was to become Tri-Vortex Technology.

Our Very Special Guest Today is legendary Hit-maker Tommy James of The Shondells who has also written a bestselling book about his infamous and often intimidating association with Roulette Records and the “Godfather” of the music business Morris Levy.

After Tommy James and his family moved to Niles, Michigan he assembled what became a very popular local act called The Tornadoes. A local deejay asked the band to sign with his new label called Snap Records. One of the tunes recorded was a catchy rock and roll ditty written by Jeff Barry and Ellie Greenwich called “Hanky Panky.”

The song quickly became a local hit and then rapidly faded away into oblivion.

Two years later an improbable occurrence unfolded when “Hanky Panky” was discovered in a record bin by a nightclub deejay in Pittsburgh. He began playing the newly discovered 45 at weekend dances and the response was beyond overwhelming.  A local record distributer bootlegged it and sold 80,000 copies in just ten days. By May of 1966 “Hanky Panky” became a number one hit in Pittsburgh. Later a promoter hunted down Tommy in Niles, Michigan and urged him to come to Pittsburgh where he was already a huge sensation.

A young and impressionable Tommy James would soon be trying to sell “Hanky Panky” to the largest record companies in New York. With an original copy from Snap Records and a bootleg copy in hand the executives from all the major labels positioned themselves to sign the rock and roll Boy Wonder. Strangely the next morning Tommy received a phone call informing him that all those record companies that were so eager to sign him had decided to pass. A disconcerted James then received a call from Jerry Wexler of Atlantic records who informed Tommy that he received a call from Morris Levy president of Roulette Records. The message was made crystal clear to Wexler and all the other record execs.

Levy said, “This is my F’ing record! Leave it alone.” 

(Hanky Panky became number one on the charts in America and the biggest summer hit of 1966)

Thus began the infamous relationship between Tommy James, Roulette Records and music mogul/ gangster Morris Levy. After every crime family member connected to Roulette Records had passed away, Tommy James was compelled to profess his incredible story. So with help from author Martin Fitzpatrick, James confessed his story into a book called Me, the Mob, and the Music which became a Simon and Schuster Best Seller. 

Tommy James has sold over 100 million records and was awarded 23 gold singles plus nine gold and platinum albums. Some of his legendary hits include “Hanky Panky,”  “I Think We’re Alone Now,” “Mony Mony,” “Crimson and Clover,” “Crystal Blue Persuasion,” “Sweet Cherry Wine” and “Draggin’ The Line.”

During 1968-69 Tommy James and The Shondells sold more single records (45’s) than any artist in the world, including The Beatles.

It is my great pleasure to welcome legendary hit-maker and best-selling author TOMMY JAMES!

Eilish De Avalon

Born and raised in Geelong by European immigrant parents, I first became a journalist and editor, writing professionally for newspapers and magazines, before running my own family business. I’ve also been busy raising my sons, Kristofer and Matthew who are young men now.

It is often said that we study healing because initially we need healing ourselves. This was certainly true in my case. I grieved the loss of four members of my immediate family and became naturally curious about the after-life. My soul searching became somewhat of a spiritual pilgrimage where I questioned my religion, felt myself awakening to other beliefs. I felt that there was more I could offer people than just my wordsmithing. My spiritual pilgrimage took me through all the main religions and philosophies in a quest for truth. I studied the major sacred texts, meditation, learned how to astral travel, studied reincarnation, tantra, the Dharma, many healing modalities, these studies took years. I'm still learning, it’s an eternal quest.

I initially became a healer, studying Reiki (Mastership) and Spiritual Healing, Auric Diagnostics and Meditation Teaching with Michelle Boughen at the Gallery of Enlightenment but I had a few requests to do massage my healing clients, so I furthered my studies with Michelle and learned Indian Head Massage, Hawaiian Kahuna Lomi Lomi Bodywork massage, aromatherapy, and then later Balinese Bodyscrub and Massage Techniques. As Energy work was my main fascination, I found an excellent professor in my travels, Mr Lionel Thomas, who taught me Energetic Chinese Medicine and Advanced SFEF Kinesiology, Body Systems and SFEFopathy a variation of homepathics and I owe much of my success today to these two amazing teachers and mentors who have been my constant support networks over the years and they've helped me become the great healing practitioner that I am today.

Over the years, I've studied past life regression therapy, been involved in ghost busting and in mediumship development circles and basically have developed a huge repertoire in this otherworldly field. But as I like to keep one foot in each dimension, I also offer physical therapies in the holistic day spa business.

The Temple of Eilish also offers a selected day spa services as I am also a trained make up artist and have a wonderful range of Emani Mineral Make Up here, so if you're planning on a special night out, let me help you feel good inside and out.

I've a history of being in theatre as a performer and still devote my free time to devotional singing in Geelong the first Monday of the month from 7 pm at Cobbin Farm Chapel in Grovedale. My spirituality is my life, I adore being of services to humanity for the Greater Good of All, that is why I've incarnated and that is my life purpose. It's a wonderful honour to be able to be of service to humanity.

Blessed be. Eilish De Avalon
