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.

Guest Biography:

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.
