Billy Sherwood created this concept album based on a lost soul that is reincarnated into various periods of history. "I was inspired by the notion that General Patton believed he was reincarnated on various battlefields through time; I wanted to take that concept even further." As the songwriter/producer, Billy placed the citizen character into significant moments of history.
The lead off track is called “The Citizen" which sets the stage for what's to come on the recording. “The Citizen” features Billy's longtime friends and members of the legendary Progressive Rock band Yes: bassist Chris Squire and former Yes keyboardist Tony Kaye.

KAYLEE AND THE J’S
Kaylee Robin, Lead Singer of Kaylee and the J’s is a Singer, Songwriter, Model, Artist, Actress, and so much more.
Art has been an enormous part of my entire life. From the moment I could pick up a pencil I was drawing. I’m what you would call a natural artist. Self taught in all forms, and still learning. If I’m not working on a custom ordered piece, I still enjoy playing around in the paint.
Modeling has always been an interest of mine. I got my first camera in elementary school and all that I wanted to do was have photo shoots with my friends. I am actually not bad behind the camera as well, but never pursued photography. It was in 2004 when I began to take modeling seriously. I signed up with John Robert Powers school of acting and modeling. That was when I realized I had a great love for acting as well. My move to Phoenix , AZ in 2006 is where my real modeling and acting career developed. It was here where I ran my first run way and shot my first film. It was a start. My next big move to Los Angeles is where things started heating up. I was able to find representation fairly quickly and after trying out a few I eventually settled with Across the Board Talent Agency (ATB).
I have been a part of a great deal of projects since I began this journey. Not all of them were finished, But here’s to the ones that were and to many more! I intend on expanding and updating my resume more and more. If you feel as though I may be a good asset to an upcoming or current project please contact me.
GUEST MICHAEL ALIG
Michael Alig (born April 29, 1966) is an American former club promoter, musician and writer who served almost 17 years in prison for manslaughter. Alig first became a prominent member of the Club Kids, a group of young New York City club goers that became a cultural phenomenon during the late 1980s and early 1990s.[1]
In October 1997, Alig pleaded guilty to manslaughter, after killing and dismembering fellow Club Kid Andre “Angel” Melendez in a confrontation over a drug debt in March 1996. He was sentenced to ten to twenty years in prison and was released on parole in May 2014.
Early yearsBorn in South Bend, Indiana, Alig is the second of two sons born to John and Elke Alig. His mother Elke, a native of Bremerhaven, Germany, moved to the United States after marrying John Alig, a computer programmer. Alig’s parents divorced when he was four years old.
Alig attended Grissom Middle School and Penn High School where he was a straight A student. He graduated in the top 8% of his class. During his teenage years, Alig was often the subject of bullying on account of his homosexuality. Seeking a less conservative social environment after graduating in 1984, he attended Fordham University in New York City. He studied architecture there before transferring to the Fashion Institute of Technology. There he met the boyfriend of artist Keith Haring who introduced Alig to New York City nightlife. Alig soon dropped out of school and began working at Danceteria as a bus boy.
Alig’s Club Kids
While working at Danceteria, Alig studied the club business and soon became a party promoter. His ability for throwing parties with few or no resources helped him rise in New York’s party scene. During this time, Alig and other regular club goers began creating flamboyant personas and later became known as “Club Kids”. The Club Kids wore outrageous costumes that former Club Kid and socialite James St. James later described as “part drag, part clown, part infantilism”. They were also known for the frequent use of ketamine (known as Special K), ecstasy, Rohypnol, heroin and cocaine. Alig’s Club Kids included Gitsie, Jennytalia, Robert “Freeze” Riggs, Richie Rich, Charlie “Dash” Prestano, Superstar DJ Keoki, and Amanda Lepore. The Club Kids’ outrageousness became a source of interest for the media and articles about them appeared in People, Newsweek and Time. They also appeared on Geraldo and The Joan Rivers Show.
In 1988, Alig was hired by the owner of The Limelight, Peter Gatien. Alig’s parties at The Limelight were such a hit that he began organizing parties for Gatien’s other clubs The Palladium, Tunnel and Club USA. Alig’s notorious “Outlaw Parties”, which were thrown in various unconventional places including a Burger King, a Dunkin’ Donuts, abandoned houses and a subway, helped to revitalize the downtown New York City club scene which Village Voice columnist Michael Musto declared had died after artist Andy Warhol died in 1987. Alig’s parties also became notorious due in part to his own “bad behavior”. Alig would throw $100 bills on crowded dance floors just to watch people scramble for them. In other instances, he would urinate on clubgoers or urinate in their drinks and stage falls wherein he knocked others to the ground.
As Alig’s popularity in the club scene grew, so did his drug use. He was arrested several times for drug offenses and entered rehab, but continued to use drugs. In 1995, Alig’s boss Peter Gatien sent Alig to rehab once again. Alig later claimed that after he completed his stint and was released, Gatien fired him.
Some of Alig’s behavior could be explained by a personality disorder; he was diagnosed with histrionic personality disorder. He stated that “The doctor said I was the most extreme case he’d ever seen. Everything has to be completely over the top and exaggerated. It worked well for my job – I was a promoter.”
Alig was paroled on May 5, 2014. Per the conditions of his parole, Alig returned to New York City. He is required to abide by an 8 p.m. curfew and must undergo drug counseling, anger management, and job readiness training. In the months following his release, Alig granted numerous interviews in which he expressed a desire to star in his own reality show and stage an exhibition of his art work. In May 2014, it was reported that Alig was attempting to sell his memoirs and was pursuing a career as a magazine writer.
On October 15, 2014, Alig released the pop song “What’s In” (Featuring DJ Keoki) through Austound Music, an Austin, Texas based record label. An EP, also entitled What’s In, is scheduled for release. In May 2015, a selection of Alig’s paintings went on display at the SELECT Fair in New York. Alig also hosts an online satirical talk show entitled The Pee-ew Show.
In popular culture
The events of Michael Alig’s years as a club promoter up to his arrest were portrayed in the 1998 documentary Party Monster: The Shockumentary and the 2003 feature film Party Monster starring Macaulay Culkin as Alig and Seth Green as St. James. The events are also covered in St. James’s memoir, Disco Bloodbath, re-released with the title Party Monster after the release of the 2003 film.
A prison interview with Alig is featured in the 2011 documentary Limelight, directed by Billy Corben.
Alig’s case has also been featured on the TV series American Justice,[21] and Notorious, as well as Deadly Devotion on Investigation Discovery.

GLORY DAZE: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF MICHAEL ALIG
Directed by Ramon Fernandez
Documentary Feature
USA | 2 hr 15 min | 2015
New York City. 1987. A new group of individuals arises to fill the artistic power vacuum created by Andy Warhol’s untimely death and the demise of his ‘Factory’, in the form of The Club Kids. They would reign supreme over The City’s nightlife through an era of decadence, debauchery and creative heights, which culminated with the death of one of them as well as the party itself.
Their undisputed leader was Michael Alig, who came to New York with dreams of working in the fashion industry, only to find himself at the head of a nightlife movement which went far beyond anyone’s expectations, reaching outrageous proportions. It ultimately imploded catastrophically with Michael going to prison for the murder and dismemberment of drug dealer Angel Melendez.
From a very young age, I have always been interested in seeing what lies behind the curtain of reality. My curiosity for the beauty of the universe kept me gazing at the stars searching for the deeper meaning of life. To me it was fascinating. Growing up I was surrounded by people who had a metaphysical approach to life and was properly introduced to my own interests at 18 when picked up my first astrology book. I started to see the world in symbols. Each energy as an expression of the zodiac. ͞
"I traveled far and one of the few things that I always carried with me were my astrology books"
My true soul's journey began in 2011 when I choose to begin taking my soul path seriously. I left everything I knew behind and committed to walking the path of a leader in the new paradigm. What it looked like then was very different to how it appears now. I met my soul partner Jen and we began setting up our lives together. Throughout 2012 and beyond, together we have built Raising Vibrations. Behind the scenes of Raising Vibrations we juggle family life with 3 wonderful children ages 8, 2 and 3 months. We live what I teach and share.
My role as a father has influenced my spiritual path incredibly. Much of my own personal journey is about healing the wounded masculine archetype. What I reflect in my own journey is of self-healing and self-actualisation.In April of 2014 I became the astrological writer for a now very influential online information source called Wake up World. This amazing opportunity has brought my own souls journey into total alignment. Working alongside my partner & co-founder of Raising Vibrations and being able to be present with my children as they are growing up all while we are able help and guide so many souls along this awakening experience is truly amazing. I am truly blessed.
My main aim , as I integrate my soul path into the collective consciousness of humanity,is to bring back the awareness of what and who we truly are; Inter dimensional & Multi-dimensional beings experiencing ourselves as humans. The path of aligned unity consciousness and its connection to the soul’s journey. Using my own direct experience ,the knowledge of the zodiac and with the help of other awakened beings, we bring about the return of Christ state consciousness.
My role as an evolutionary astrologer bring about unique perspective in seeing a souls journey across time. This tool gives the ability to see the blueprint of any soul’s journey and to pinpoint, with incredible accuracy, what aspects of the soul needs reintegration and energy clearing.
With Love and light!

Frank Cousineau — The Cancer Control Society
– An Extraordinary Educational Service
Representing the Cancer Control Society (CCS), Frank Cousineau is the president, spokesperson and Emcee for the annual conventions. His calm and well spoken demeanor is a credit to his professionalism. Over the many years of his involvement with the Cancer Control Society, he has learned firsthand about each of the local clinics and hospitals and all the doctors practicing there in Baja California that service many people from the United States and from all over the world that are suffering with life threatening diseases. These people are searching for a better way to overcome these life threatening conditions with cancers of all types leading the list. The name “Cancer Control Society” came about due to the pervasiveness of this disease. Frank works tirelessly to promote the Cancer Control Society. With answering just a few questions, Frank can tell people which doctors and clinics to check out first depending on what the person wants as far as care for a life threatening condition.
Let it be known that the Cancer Control Society has no ties to other large so-called funders of cancer research. The research has already been done and thousands of people are living examples that cancer and other diseases are something that can be overcome. The research and results stand alone. The proof is in the survival statistics. This is an organization that needs to be consulted by every person that wants to make an informed choice and be in charge of their own health and therapy. If we all paid more attention to our health then there would be less illness and more prevention.

Edwin Harkness Spina is an award-winning author, speaker and mystic. He is the author of Mystic Warrior and Mystic Secrets Revealed, and the developer of Energy Center Clearing, a methodology created to align, balance and center individuals moving through these tumultuous times. He specializes in connecting people to their highest SELF, leading to greater intuition, clarity and joy.
Before becoming a master healer, Ed went through an extreme metamorphosis. After graduating with a BSE degree in math and computer science from Tufts University, Ed began writing systems software for a computer manufacturer. He went on to receive an MBA from the University of Chicago with concentrations in finance and marketing. After graduating, he worked with various venture capital firms, and started several technology-based companies in the sports and music industries.
Stressed out from his entrepreneurial ventures, Ed rented a video from Blockbuster that promised to help him relax and, curiously, help him recall his past lives.
To Ed’s surprise, the video changed his life, as he was able to recall a past life in substantial detail. Thus began his 20+ year study of mysticism, metaphysics, energy healing and all things spiritual. The earnestness with which he desired to understand how the universe truly worked drew the attention of his first mentor. Through this relationship, Ed uncovered gifts his scientific mind would not have thought possible. After a few months, his primary means of communication with his mentor was telepathic.
Ed continued his studies with long term mystics and cutting-edge energy healers, when he met his second mentor, a Near Death Experiencer who worked with Ed to raise his energy to new levels.
After years of study and preparation, Ed combined his love of mysticism with his love of entrepreneurship and wrote his first book, Mystic Warrior, which won the Independent Publisher Book Award for Visionary Fiction and a Nautilus Silver Book Award for Fiction.
He has since written Mystic Secrets Revealed, contributed to the bestseller 101 Great Ways to Improve Your Life and created CDs and audio books entitled: Total Love Immersion, Escaping the Matrix, Enlightened Relationships and Travel to Enlightenment.

Will is a gifted individual who has profoundly touched and changed people's lives for over thirty years.
He has a BA Degree in Psychology with practical training in Addiction Counseling as well as Group Therapy and individual counseling.
Further to this, he has developed a therapeutic approach to doing deep-level counseling that involves working with the subconscious as well as connecting with the High Self spiritual aspect of one’s Being. He calls this method Trinary Regression Therapy, which also involves the understanding and knowledge of other lives and their impact on the individual’s present life. Trinary Regression Therapy takes one’s focus away from the Binary programming and opens doors to one’s spiritual, multi-dimensional Being. Will has had great success using Trinary Regression Therapy as a way to understand and address deep-seated issues and traumas. These issues include such things as Satanic Ritual Abuse, Relationship Issues, Abundance and Worthiness Issues and Alien Abductions.
Will has a natural gift to lead his clients on a deep inner journey of self-discovery and self-healing. His approach is innovative, cutting-edge and powerful in its impact, while at the same time is compassionate and sensitive. Using his wealth of experience in deep spiritual matters, Will is able to journey with his clients into the inner realms and thus is able to assist them on their personal inner quests.
Because of his keen interest in metaphysics, Will has also developed, to a high degree, his intuitive and psychic abilities. As a result, he became a professional Tarot Reader, working at international levels. This developed into the capacity to channel the high force of consciousness known as Cosmic Awareness, a role he has served exclusively for the last ten years.
Cosmic Awareness is the Force of Consciousness that spoke through Edgar Cayce, and who speaks again today through Will Berlinghof as Planet Earth and Humanity go through these critical transformative times.
Will has gained insight, awareness, wisdom and knowledge of current events and how hidden agendas are at work to affect Humanity. He is able to synergise disparate information to bring forth new awareness of how things are linked, to have a clear discernment of what is really happening with world events. Thus he is well-suited to the role of commentator, addressing and discussing world issues, and bringing an understanding of the circumstances of these times, how it all comes together and what it means for Humanity. He is able to project a broader and deeper perspective of what is truly going down.
Due to his continued dedication and his own journey of self-discovery, Will is well-equipped to stand as one who can help make sense of this paradigm and how to best navigate the issues facing Humanity. His diligence has earned him international repute and clients from around the world and he presents himself for further service as Humanity and Gaia move through this exciting and challenging transformation.

ABOUT WALDEN THREE PROJECT
The Walden Three Project has developed an engineering of a super-efficient, car-free, sustainable city that uses extensive recycling, permaculture, and integrated, co-generation, pollution-free factories to manufacture most of what its citizens consume. The project is based upon ideas from many different disciplines, which have been time-tested. The city is built with proven technology available today.
Anything that saves labor and resources makes us richer as a whole. Our engineering model is apolitical. It is just a labor and resource saving device. It frees them for whatever the political-economic body wants. Our model allows political systems to maximize their available labor and resources. Thus the underlying basis of economics: conservation. There is no need to "take" from the rich to solve our economic problems. This is a common economic fallacy. In fact, the rich will profit and benefit greatly from what we propose here.
Libertarians, socialists, objectivists, communists, fascists, capitalists, or a combination of economic systems can use our hypothetical city-factory-machine. Libertarians or objectivists could float such a city in international waters free of all governments and "freeloaders" (see abandoned novel - New Hong Kong). Communists and far left socialists can use it to eliminate capitalists. One of our plans is built from mud and starts in a prison (see current novel in progress: Walden Three).
While there is no one solution for everyone, most need and prefer some group's economic and political compromise. Our compromise has "radical", "middle-american", "conservative", "liberal", "capitalist", "socialist", "religious", "atheist" and other components. Anything that must be pure, must fail. A world wide system must allow for all.
Please comment. We invite you to play with the model. Please correct us. Give us your insights and add to it. Use what you like. Everything we create is free and without copyright. Why are we doing this? Selfishness! The founder, chief benefactor, and CEO of Walden Three realizes he does not need any more material things. He finds more money and things to take care of boring, while helping and seeing people change for the better is fun. A material thing can only give you a good feeling and has a cost. A spiritual act or gift returns a better feeling and, on average, a profit -- usually the beneficiary will return the favor or pass it along, which eventually comes back to the giver with a profit. Money is a merely a symbol, open to interpretation. Feelings are real. A better world to live in produces a cornucopia of good feelings, a huge profit.

Energy:
The city recycles “waste” energy from its factories and electric generation plant by piping steam to heat air and water for businesses and homes throughout the city. This is the same method used by factory towns of old New England. Steam is also used to power absorption refrigeration for cooling of buildings, the same basic process used in propane-powered refrigerators in motor homes. Thus, the city is heated and cooled essentially for free (there is the cost of piping, maintenance, etc.) and the electricity normally used by cities for heating and cooling is saved, more than quadrupling efficiencies of today’s public utilities. Electric power required for motors, engines, electronics, etc. is generated with combined-cycle gas-turbine technology fueled by synthesis gas made by converting biomass and organic waste materials in a plasma gasification unit.
Transportation and Freight:
Standardized packaging and a collection system designed for long-term use and convenience maximizes recycling efforts. There are no automobiles or trucks within the city though there are rental companies on its perimeter. Recycling, freight delivery, and personal transport is streamlined with a computerized, luxurious, and extensive mass transit system. Transportation needs are further minimized by home offices, video conferencing rooms, and super high-speed Internet facilities.
Health Care:
Insurance, as well as supplemental programs like Medicaid, would not be needed because Walden Three considers healthcare, from cradle to grave for all conditions, a necessity. Instead of taxing businesses, the city provides and manages healthcare through its community service system.
Hospitals would be available for serious procedures like surgery, however, the emphasis would be on nursing stations located in each building and at-home care. Using the city’s Cybernet, which would have the latest, reliable medical information and remote observation and data collection, nurses and physicians would make initial evaluations. Nursing stations are located in each building for more thorough initial examinations and scheduled exams by physicians.
In sum, Walden Three provides quality care to every citizen, not sub-standard care that views each person as a group of risk factors or ‘the best care [your limited] money can buy.’
Education:
Education and training from pre-school to post-graduate is free. The school system is based on the student’s worthwhile, realistic life goals which they set for themselves with the aid of counselors. The life goals are made relevant to the person's age. Of course, those goal will mature as the child matures. If a child wants to be a fireman, the teacher says, “Okay, we will start training you to be a fireman, but to be a fireman you’ll have to know all about gases, heat energy, combustion, etc. To learn that, you’ll need to know math, reading, etc.” Thus, school would be more personal, exciting, and useful. From the beginning, children are not schooled in classrooms, but at home using programmed, computerized learning systems. The theory they learn on the computers is combined with skill training learned by participating in running the city, where it is safe for them.
Employment, Avocation, & Leisure:
Every individual can have a job that he or she enjoys, for life. The members of the community work at jobs running the city, their community service in return for the “free” items the city provides. Since the city produces the majority of what citizens consume, all citizens are guaranteed employment. Because of the huge increase in efficiency brought by rational planning and technology that minimizes waste, the citizens need only to work a small part of today’s work week. Their much increased free time can be spent starting a new business, working for someone else, with their family, on artistic endeavors, sports, education, travel, or whatever they desire. Moreover, working together to run the community builds a bond and an understanding of the city's problems and advantages among the citizens. With the citizens’ working knowledge, continuous improvements to the city come naturally.
Business/Economics:
We conclude that the solution lies in a mixed economy, an intelligent combination of capitalism and socialism tended by people who receive incentives based on the quality of their work, the best of each system. In fact, every country uses a mixed economy. All families from the beginning of time have shared work, rewards, and facilities among the family, a socialism system. Social Security, education for all children, child abuse laws, protection of the environment, work safety regulations, etc--all elements of socialism--would be preserved. Every citizen is guaranteed health care, education, food, clothing, housing and utilities in return for their part-time labor running the city.
No Taxes: The Walden Three Project has no sales, income, property, tangible, or intangible taxes, nor fees. People who want non-residential locations pay a fixed rent (no percentage over-rides or escalation) to offset construction costs and maintenance. The city fosters new businesses by providing online support and efficient customer service that waits on you, not you waiting on them. Citizens can apply for an available “bricks and mortar” business location, or pay for the construction of a new one using materials produced locally at cost. Each apartment and business complex has a state-of-the-art office support complex for printing, copying, etc., as well as secretarial services, meeting rooms, and catering facilities. Designers, engineers, inventors, machinists, sample-makers, factories, artists, and writers are connected online. Thus the city assists businesses in turning new, important ideas and inventions into reality.
Since needs, by definition, must be met, the city is the single supplier providing citizens with all utilities, waste processing, transportation, and housing in return for the citizens’ community service time without the unnecessary costs of promotion, duplication of facilities, accounting, legal assistance, etc. The city maximizes service by redirecting this previously wasted labor towards improving the quality of its products or services. The system rewards those that do their job well with vigorous, positive feedback, social prerogatives, and reduced work time. The cybernation of services (computers and high speed internet in every home and business) combined with ample staffing reduces wait time to a minimum.
Life Skills, Philosophy, Psychology:
The city guides people to set realistic and worthwhile life goals. Part of a realistic goal is a realistic plan to achieve it. The school and socialization systems train citizens in Rational Emotive Behavior Theory [REBT], the modern, scientific combination of Stoicism and Epicureanism. This teaches rational acceptance of life and one’s self, and how to control emotions, preventing or correcting emotional and thinking problems early.
The city improves behavior by helping people find and set practical life goals. They are then trained to reward themselves as they accomplish short-term goals to that end.
Law/Crime Prevention:
George Washington said, "The firmest pillar of democracy is the true administration of justice." Note that he said justice, not law. Recall that it was illegal to be a Jew during the Nazi rule of Germany.
The city's civil law system is based on giving "value for value received" using bona fide [good faith] contracts, not "let the buyer beware" in which the clever defraud the average. When a person enters into a contract, it should be with confidence that the legal outcome will be fair. The legal system is streamlined with legal aids staffed sufficiently to give everyone fast, equal legal protection.
Since everyone is provided with necessities, crime would be greatly reduced, the remainder of crime would largely be caused by mental problems. Mothers and fathers would never have to steal to feed or take care of their babies.
The city’s solution to preventing crime is the same as a small town or village: Watchful eyes--everyone knows what is happening. All public areas are viewable from any computer terminal, open-access video observation, so anyone in the city can see through any public camera at any time. However, there will not be cameras in areas where there is an expectation of privacy: dressing rooms, public restrooms, at home, or in the car. The system allows a parent to "follow" their child to the playground or school room and report any bullying or accidents to the authorities for immediate attention. Parents can watch what their children are being taught and how they are handled by their teachers. All of the city’s government buildings, bureaus, and meetings would be viewable at all times, true “government in the sunshine“.
The system interrupts anti-social behavior at its start, swiftly, without revenge. The city's socialization (corrections) system does not lock up one disturbed individual with three others in an eight-by-ten foot room for decades and expect them to come out knowing how to get along with normal people. Rather, the city assigns police officers and councilors that stay with the troubled or violent individuals at all times during their socialization, physically and electronically, until the offenders can control their emotions and function well in society.
Thus, the criminal system will be swift and sure, but never harsh. As behaviorist B. F. Skinner discovered, punishment is a poor teacher, a last resort. Skinner’s experiments proved the certainty of the reward or punishment determines its effectiveness, unless the punishment is so brutal it damages the subject for life. If someone gets away with something ten times, they have been rewarded ten times. If police then get lucky and catch him or her, whether they punish that person or not, the net effect is ten rewards and one punishment, a net reinforcement of the unwanted behavior. The offender knows the punishment is a fluke, and is not likely to happen again for some time. However, if the person gets punished and the reward taken back each and every time, that person will stop the unwanted behavior quickly.
Spirituality:
We have observed that all the major religions have a universal message: Love and help each other. Acceptance, mercy, and meaningful work are prerequisites to happiness. There is no wealth without happiness.
Walden Three is a work in progress. We invite criticism, comments, improvements, and suggestions. The burden of proof is upon us.

Anti-war campaign
Walter had been opposed to the Vietnam War, a source of contention with his father, but had not used his money to act on his convictions. On February 27, 2003, Walter spent US$125,000 to take out a full-page advertisement in the New York Times attacking Secretary of State Colin Powell's justification for the impending 2003 invasion of Iraq. It was headlined "Powell Lied?" describing Powell's February 5, 2003 speech to the United Nations Security Council—the New York Times insisted on adding the question mark. Walter took out similar advertisements in English and Spanish in local newspapers in Santa Barbara, California, where he was living. His stance was unpopular; posters he attached to his house were torn down, and a rock was put through his car's window. Walter did not repeat the advertisement.
Walter also created a "Chicken-Hawk-In-Chief" design mocking George W. Bush which he put on t-shirts, sweatshirts, and a full costume. In May 2004, a Williamstown, Vermont middle school student gained national attention when he wore the t-shirt and was required to cover parts of the design depicting Bush drinking and snorting cocaine. On August 30, 2006, the U.S. Second Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the school was wrong to censor the shirt, and on June 29, 2007 the US Supreme Court rejected an appeal, allowing that ruling to stand.
Reopen 9/11 campaign
Walter began a series of advertisements about the September 11, 2001 attacks in October 2004, which included full page ads in the New York Times and Wall Street Journal, and 30 second cable television spots on CNN, Fox News, and ESPN. They implied that no plane flew in to The Pentagon, and that 7 World Trade Center was brought down by internal explosives. They called for a new investigation into what happened on September 11, and referred viewers to the website reopen911.org.In conjunction with the campaign, Walter sponsored an October 2004 Zogby poll, which found that 66% of New York City residents wanted a fuller investigation of the events of September 11.
Walter's theory is that the hijacked planes were replaced by remote controlled drones that were crashed into the World Trade Center and Pentagon, while the buildings were brought down by preset explosives,to create a pretext for the war in Afghanistan and 2003 invasion of Iraq. At the web site, Walter offered a US$10,000 reward for a mathematical proof of how the World Trade Center buildings collapsed from the fire and impact, the way the 9/11 Commission said.By 2005, the reward had grown to $1,000,000 for proof that explosives were not used in the collapse of the World Trade Center.
On November 10, and November 11, 2004, Walter appeared on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360°, where he debated journalist Gerald Posner about the claims made by the campaign. On May 9, 2005, Walter was featured on the "Conspiracy Theories" episode of Showtime cable television program Penn & Teller: Bullshit!,
As of December 2004, Walter estimated the total cost of the campaign at more than $3 million; by December 2005 it rose to $5.5 million.
In May 2005, Walter financed European tours of speaking engagements for William Rodriguez and his lawyer in the Rodriguez v. Bush lawsuit, Philip Berg. Rodriguez claims that he saved hundreds of people in the World Trade Center who were trapped behind locked fire escape doors.
In 2006, Walter traveled to Malaysia with Rodriguez, appearing at a conference with Michael Collins Piper. Rodriguez and Walter also traveled to Venezuela.
Confronting the Evidence
Walter produced a video documentary called Confronting the Evidence in 2005 and distributed over 300,000 free copies on DVD, including one to every household in Tony Blair's Sedgefield constituency.Confronting the Evidence was broadcast on Italian Rai Tre television on September 24, 2006 at 9:00 p.m., during the Report program.
