I am a media content developer and broadcaster, very concerned about my country and the planet, particularly in the area of human and citizen rights, distribution of wealth, the environment and safety, including the protection from endless war. To this end, I am in the process of creating an organization called the Coalition for Planetary Empowerment. My new radio show, to be first broadcast on BBS Radio on April 14 at 9 AM PST is called Inalienable and Free- Voice of the Coalition and will be hosted by myself and Hugo Rodier, MD. In this program, we look at political events from a core spiritual point of view, not from the standpoint of any one religion or group. We believe that the ideals of the Founding Fathers, as expressed in the US Declaration and Constitution reflect this point of view in the famous phrase that speaks of all men being created equal and endowed with certain inalienable right. We also believe that although this ideal is not reflected well in American history, things have progressed positively in many ways until fairly recently. Now many of our rights, including most contained in the bill of rights and the rights we have to health, prosperity and safety, including safety from unnecessary war has been challenged. These rights contain not only an understanding of what is proper government but keys to the manifestation of our true desires on a much higher level and that those citizens who understand their true spiritual capacity can help mankind push forward to reclaim its rightful inheritance from the Creator.

About Vanita Lott:

As a Certified Nurse Midwife, RN, and BSN, my passion is sharing my 35 years of experience, knowledge and wisdom to empower women to make fully informed choices for a safer, easier and more beautiful birth. Today’s extreme techno-medical approach treats birth as a disaster waiting to happen and imposes many dubious interventions on even normal labors. Our maternity care system has become infected with the profit and power-driven agendas of insurance companies; hospital, pharmaceutical and medical supply corporations; and even the medical societies. Despite pretty labor rooms and more female Ob/Gyns, the cesarean rates skyrocketed. Unbelievably, our current system was never designed to be mother & baby friendly and has been criticized as pseudo-scientific by independent researchers. Our dangerous “unnec-cesarean” epidemic is the most glaring example that this very unbalanced approach needs a dramatic overhaul to become wellness & prevention oriented to meet the real needs of mothers, babies and their families.

Background:

• Called to be midwife at the age of 16 while reading about the U.S. Air Force’s CNMs.
• Bachelor’s of Science in Nursing from William Patterson College in New Jersey in 1981. Cum Laude (with Honors).
• Frontier School of Midwifery, graduated with GPA of 3.87 in 1997.
• American College of Nurse-Midwives board certified.
• Hospital experience including high-risk in N.J., N.Y., Washington, Arizona, Nevada, and California.
• Professional & community lecturer, seminar leader and researcher.
• Avid student of alternative holistic healing practices, including naturopathy, herbal medicine, sound and spiritual healing.
• Certified yoga teacher and Reiki (hands-on-healing) practitioner.
• Loves kayaking, hiking, ecstatic dance, yoga, meditation, being in nature, being with family & friends.

Jerry Ensminger was a devoted Marine for nearly twenty-five years.  As a drill instructor he lived and breathed the "Corps" and was responsible for indoctrinating thousands of new recruits with its motto Semper Fidelis or "Always Faithful."  When Jerry's nine-year-old daughter Janey died of a rare type of leukemia, his world collapsed.  As a grief-stricken father, he struggled for years to make sense of what happened.  His search for answers led to the shocking discovery of a Marine Corps cover-up of one of the largest water contamination incidents in U.S. history.  Jerry's mission was then to expose the Marine Corps and force them to live up to their motto to the thousands of Marines and their families exposed to toxic chemicals.  His fight reveals a grave injustice at Camp Lejeune and a looming environmental crisis at military sites across the country.  He is a co-founder of the activist group, "The Few, The Proud, The Forgotten."

Jason Gleaves spent 11 years in the UK Royal Air Force and is now the author of a newly released book UFO Photos: Computer Analysis of Worldwide UFO Images Through the Decades.

Jason has had strange sightings throughout his life and military career.  His first UFO sighting happened at the age of 7 – near Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool – when he & his sister saw a bright silver disk-shaped object outside the window of the room they were playing in.  It hung motionless as they stared at it in amazement before it disappeared at high velocity.

Jason’s personal experiences peaked his interest in UFOs and unexplained phenomena.  At that time, UFOs were not really heard of, never mind talked about, and all the unanswered questions drew Jason into his own journey of research.  Over the years he has enhanced and analyzed UFO photographs submitted to him from all over the world.
