Guest Occupation: Naturopathic Physician, Founder of the Grace Gawler Cancer Foundation-Germany and Australials
Guest Biography:

Dr. Grace Gawler DHM (dist) DBSc ATMS Mem IPOS (International Society for Psycho-Psychology) has been involved with teaching cancer survival strategies for more than 39 years. Trained as an Herbalist/ Naturopath with an early background working in veterinary medicine with her ex husband who became a cancer patient in 1974. Over the years Grace became a pro-life cancer recovery strategist and trained in body psychotherapy with Ilana Rubenfeld in the USA. She co-founded Australia's first Cancer Support groups and residential courses and has worked throughout the world in the area of cancer as a public and keynote speaker and workshop facilitator. She has chosen to emphasize the emotional-psycho-spiritual aspect of cancer recovery and management at all stages. Grace learned a great deal when in 1997 unexpected post-surgical complications from a routine surgery left her with colon paralysis. After 21 surgeries geared at keeping her alive Grace eventually found her solution - an experimental 'bionic' sacroneuromodulation implant performed in Holland. The procedure was a 'world first' for this condition. Grace had her life back knowing what it was like to be in the shoes of a patient with a life threatening condition. She wrote her memoir Grace, Grit and Gratitude in 2008 to celebrate her survival.

As Founder and Director of the Grace Gawler Institute, Grace can now help patients to find integrated cancer solutions. She helps patients to transform the challenge, PTSD, fear and myriad of emotional issues surrounding cancer into becoming a successful patient - the best one can be whatever the outcome. She works in conjunction with medical oncology and integrative oncology clinics in Australia and Europe assisting patients with fully supported medi-tours to Hallwang Private Oncology Clinic in Germany's Black Forest.

Guest Occupation: Holistic Healer, Registered Psychiatric Nurse, Gestalt-trained Counselor, Clinical Hypnotherapist, Energy Practitioner
Guest Biography:

I focus on living life consciously aware of my intuitive inner wisdom and allowing that energy to guide my thoughts, my words and my actions. My 30-year career has spanned many aspects of holistic healing, including working as a registered psychiatric nurse, Gestalt-trained counselor, clinical hypnotherapist, and energy practitioner. As a 4th generation psychic and medical intuitive, I blend all of these disciplines and teach a truly holistic understanding of wellbeing physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

As my holistic skills developed I noticed more harmony and balance in my personal life. This harmony came by positively focusing on my personal thought processes, attuning to the Infinite Intelligence of the Spirit realm and following inspired action. Intuition is that natural connection with higher intelligence. We all have it because it comes with our physical body at birth. We are each a spark and sparkle of All That Is.

Intuition and our psychic abilities are the rising awareness of our times. New Age is really age old wisdom that is resurfacing now. There is nothing new regarding our innate instincts. We really are the creators of our lives. We can thoughtlessly create or consciously create. Living aware and moving through life with inspired action is conscious creation and what I cherish most. When you tap into that profound voice of your soul and follow its melody, the song of your life will fine tune into its natural rhythm.

Guest Occupation: Senior Systems Engineer, Computer Scientist, Assisted in the Development of the THINTHREAD prototype
Guest Biography:

Edward Loomis worked at NSA for 37 years. With education in Math and Computer Systems, he rose to become a senior Systems Engineer and Computer Scientist at NSA. To help NSA modernize for the digital age, he strung together a number of systems that he had developed, adding Bill Binney's work. This became the THINTHREAD prototype. It was intended to help the Agency leap forward, but instead was seen as a threat because it was more advanced and far cheaper than the Director's TRAILBLAZER program.

Loomis retired in late 2001 and worked another 5 years as a contractor on NSA projects, until his clearances were removed and his home was searched as part of the Times leak investigation. He keeps active kayaking, hiking and gardening, and enjoys collecting art.

Guest Occupation: Organizer of Confidential Hotline Compliant to Investigate the NSA's TRAILBLAZER program, retired NSA Manager and Analyst
Guest Biography:

J. Kirk Weibe was raised in rural Indiana. He became an analyst at NSA and later worked in both technical and management positions. Wiebe and the unit of 70 analysts that he managed received two prestigious NSA awards. He then linked up with Ed Loomis and Bill Binney in their determination to modernize and automate NSA. After 26 years of service, he retired along with them after NSA rejected their THINTHREAD approach in favor of the TRAILBLAZER program. Wiebe then organized a confidential hotline complaint asking the Inspector General of the Dept. of Defense to investigate TRAILBLAZER's waste of money and ethical problems. Loomis, Roark and Binney also signed it, and Tom Drake assisted the investigators. After a 2-1/2 year investigation The I.G. verified their complaints, but the findings are still kept classified. After the Times leak about warrantless wiretaps, the FBI immediately demanded that the I.G. turn over the confidential names of those who had requested the investigation. All 5 were raided in 2007. Six years later, they are still attempting to recover their property.
