Technorati Profile

Begins with me in a red dress demonstrating different ways to take a pie
in the face. I get absolutely annihilated with 4 pies, plus a bucket of chocolate cake batter. In the second scene, I'm wearing a white "stretch" dress. I answer some questions from my e-mail and demand I get pied. I take 9 pies, plus a bucket of strawberry cake batter. The third scene is my infamous "cake batter" scene. I wear a nice sundress in this scene. I completely cover myself from head to toe with 3 different colored cake batters. The fourth and final scene is the making of the "pie sandwich" from the page.


Shampoo Video



Scene 1 features me sporting my new red hair, washing my hair in the kitchen sink, then getting it washed by a very lucky lather lover. I also had this filmed with an over-the-shoulder angle so it looks like you're washing my hair. Check out the pictures so you can see what I mean.
Scene 2 features April playing with her hair in the bathroom, lots of lather here. She really starts to turn herself on and you can really hear it. This scene is culminated with April hitting the Shaving cream forsome REALLY heavy lather. Scene 3 features April and myself. April is a door to door shampoo sales girl selling an aphrodisiac shampoo. The idea is to shampoo and turn me on, but she accidentally gets some on herself.

PARIS - Poachers shoot them. Smugglers sell their babies as exotic pets. Illegal loggers wipe out the rain forests where they live. And civil wars drive them away.

The great apes ? gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos and orangutans ? are in great danger, the United Nations said as its environment and cultural agencies ended a meeting Friday on how to protect the closest relative to humans in the animal world.

Gorilla Foundation - Koko the Gorilla

Koko's World

The primary program of The Gorilla Foundation/Koko.org involves teaching American Sign Language to two lowland gorillas, Koko and Michael (who recently passed away). The Gorilla Language Project, or Project Koko, is the longest continuous inter-species communications project of its kind in the world, and it serves as a unique and irreplaceable resource for the international conservation community.

Studying gorilla intelligence and behavior will lead to a greater understanding of the species' physical and psychological needs. Only through knowledge can humans take the necessary steps to improve the treatment of captive gorillas and protect free-living gorillas from extinction.

Koko, a female lowland gorilla born in 1971, and Michael, a male lowland gorilla born in 1973, use sign language and understand spoken English. Koko's participation in this study began when she was one year old, and Michael's at the age of three and one-half. Their intellectual, physical, and linguistic development has been studied extensively since their infancy. Before Project Koko, very little was known about gorilla intelligence.

Blood could generate body repair kit
excerpt:

A small company in London, UK, claims to have developed a technique that overturns scientific dogma and could revolutionise medicine. It says it can turn ordinary blood into cells capable of regenerating damaged or diseased tissues. This could transform the treatment of everything from heart disease to Parkinson's.

If the company, TriStem, really can do what it says, there would be no need to bother with conventional stem cells, currently one of the hottest fields of research. But its astounding claims have been met with bemusement and disbelief by mainstream researchers.

TriStem has been claiming for years that it can take a half a litre of anyone's blood, extract the white blood cells and make them revert to a "stem-cell-like" state within hours. The cells can be turned into beating heart cells for mending hearts, nerve cells for restoring brains and so on.

The company has now finally provided proof that at least some of its claims might be true. In collaboration with independent researchers in the US, the company has used its technique to turn white blood cells into the blood-generating stem cells found in bone marrow.

When injected into mice, these cells migrated to the bone marrow and generated nearly all the different types of human blood cells, the team will report in the January edition of Current Medical Research and Opinion (vol 20, p 87), a peer-reviewed journal.

Proof required

"I would be extremely sceptical of these findings and would need more proof," says stem cell expert Evan Snyder of the Burnham Institute in La Jolla, California, whose response is typical of many scientists New Scientist contacted.

"I was extremely sceptical," says team member Tim McCaffrey, a cardiovascular researcher at George Washington University in Washington DC, who was asked to evaluate TriStem's claims. "They did it in front of my eyes with my own blood," he says. "It's stunning."

Even if replacing bone marrow is all TriStem's method can achieve, it is still significant. Tens of thousands of people need bone marrow transplants each year. In some cases, doctors already extract stem cells from the blood instead of transplanting bone marrow itself. A donor is given growth factors that make their marrow stem cells proliferate and spill over into the blood, but the procedure takes several days.

TriStem's method might make it possible to obtain vast numbers of blood stem cells in a fraction of the time. "What's radical is the speed and ease with which it works," McCaffrey says.

A documentary recounts the history of mysterious ancient structures in Tibet. Who built them, and why?

French explorer Michel Peissel was touring Tibet in 1982 when he first stumbled upon a series of tall, mysterious, star-shaped stone towers dotting the Himalayan valleys along the Chinese border. “I was blown away by them,” he remembers. But during the adventure, Peissel—who has traveled extensively in Tibet and is credited with discovering the source of the Mekong River as well as the archaic Riwoche horse—broke both legs and was unable to follow up on his find. Then, in 1998, Peissel’s friend Frederique Darragon—a top polo player and the sometime girlfriend of Ted Turner—went to Tibet to research snow leopards. Peissel told her to be sure to check out the towers. She did, and was so captivated by them that she abandoned the snow-leopard project to focus solely on the towers. Her goal: to chart all the towers in the region and find out as much about their history as possible.

Indian Forts - Eastern and Southern India
http://www.thebharat.com/tourism/forts/somnathpur.html



Somnathpur

"There is a stillness and everlastingness about the past, it changes not and has a touch of eternity," wrote Pt. Jawaharlal Nehru in his "Discovery of India." These words somehow seemed to echo our own feelings when we arrived at Somnathpur, a tiny village on the banks of the Kaveri, 140 kms. South-west of Bangalore. Here in this everlasting rural stillness, like a milestone to eternity, stood one of the last and the grandest of Hoysala monuments - the Kesava temple built 740 years ago.

The "Hero's Journey" continues.

Avatar of the Eleventh Hour: "Babalon the beautiful, whore of the divine, is here. The Avatar of the Eleventh Hour is now incarnate in our midst, moving openly yet still undetected by some amongst the throngs of humanity. Lay aside your preconceptions, misconceptions, and jaded skepticisms against the manifest Mystery. Watch closely with untainted eyes; gather the clues that have been scattered for you to find. Perhaps you shall be privileged to catch a glimpse of her -- if you are wise enough to not treat Her identity as a cheap golden apple to be flung in the midst of insecure female narcissists and squabbled over. "

In a profile in The Sunday Times (October, 1998), Steve Farrar wrote: "Barbour argues that we live in a universe which has neither past nor future. A strange new world in which we are alive and dead in the same instant. In this eternal present, our sense of the passage of time is nothing more than a giant cosmic illusion. 'There is nothing modest about my aspirations,' he said. 'This could herald a revolution in the way we perceive the world.'" Cosmologist Lee Smolin notes that Barbour has presented "the most interesting and provocative new idea about time to be proposed in many years. If true, it will change the way we see reality. Barbour is one of the few people who is truly both a scientist and a philosopher."

JULIAN BARBOUR: The question I'm always asking myself is, what is the universe and how does it work? I come at it from the point of view of fundamental physics, basic questions of quantum mechanics and its relationship to classical mechanics. Quantum mechanics was discovered in 1925 — 1926, and it gave a completely new picture of physics which was extraordinarily surprising, and it's still very difficult to understand. It suggests the world is not at all like we see it. That has remained a really big problem, and it's getting more and more discussion, more and more interest from people. This is what I'm really thinking about; how to reconcile the fact that the world seems to be classical, we seem to have unique past, things seem to be in definite positions, and have a definite future — that's what it seems to be like, but quantum mechanics tells us that it is different — not like that at all. The aim is to try and find a description of the entire universe that is quantum mechanical and understand how it nevertheless it can look like the classical world that we actually see and experience.

I came into it quite by chance by reading a newspaper article about the attempts that the great Paul Dirac, one of the discoverers of quantum mechanics, was making about 40 years ago to bring it together with Einstein's general theory of relativity. He'd come across a rather surprising fact and this led him to question whether the picture of space — time that was the whole basis of Einstein's theory really was as fundamental as people had thought. This prompted me to think about time itself. For nearly 36 years now, I've been thinking about time and trying to understand it at the most fundamental level. If you look at the history of physics, surprisingly few people have really thought about time and what it truly is. Even Einstein only thought about certain aspects about time; he never asked what it means to say that a second today is the same as a second tomorrow. This is a very fundamental question. Einstein somehow assumed that it is meaningful, but he never actually asked how does that come about and how can that be? He never defined the notion of duration. So there are aspects of time that haven't been fully studied, in my opinion.

JB: Can you give me another example besides duration?

BARBOUR: Certainly. One of the great questions in physics is whether there's some sort of invisible framework in which everything unfolds. Newton introduced the notions of absolute space and absolute time. Absolute space is like a translucent glass block that stretches from infinity to infinity; it's a fixed frame of reference in which everything happens. Newtonian time is like some invisible river that flows uniformly for ever. The trouble with this is that we can't see this invisible framework, all we see are things moving relative to each other. This is the relational viewpoint, as opposed to the absolute viewpoint of Newton. The challenge has been to create a theory containing genuine relationships between genuine things, and not relationships between real things and unobservable things. That's what I've spent a lot of my time working on. It's given me the ideas which I'm trying now to develop into a complete cosmology, a complete explanation of what the universe is.

CAMBRIDGE--Researchers at the MIT Media Lab announced Friday the successful construction of a nano-scale "boy band" capable of performing complex, synchronized dance routines on the head of a pin. "Creating [the band] was part of a larger, long-term effort here at the Lab to humanize nano-scale user interfaces," notes Professor Ambrose Stone, director of the research team. "[The band] will act as goodwill ambassadors from the world of ubiquitous [nano-electro-mechanical devices]."

The band, known as "5-N-Love," consists of five autonomous, nanoscopic animatrons, each equipped with full-range, posable bucky-ball-and-socket joints, a quantum-computational "nervous system," and a signature hairstyle. "Beau is the cute one," explains Professor Stone, "while Jack's a little more mysterious, a little 'dangerous.'"

Each of the "5" are driven by evolved personality algorithms maintained on a portable server. "The real challenge was to develop a wireless technology that would enable nano-macro interactions," notes Stone. "We wanted fairly robust behavioral models, more robust than could be accommodated in the boys themselves, so we had to devise a special personality server to make sure that Steve could be consistently and believably dreamy and that Jack would be complex enough to make it through rehab if he needs to. AI like that just can't be done on their scale, at least not yet."(cont.)

352nd Harvard Commencement
Thursday, June 5, 2003

Text of Speech:
http://www.commencement.harvard.edu/ferrell.html

excerpt:

Graduates, if you will indulge me for a moment, let me paint a picture of what
it's like out there. The last four or, for some of you, five years you've been living in a fantasyland, running around, talking about Hemingway, or Clancy, or, I don't know, I mean whatever you read here at Harvard. The Novelization of the Matrix, I don't know. I don't know what you do here.

But I do know this. You're about to enter into a world filled with hypocrisy and doublespeak, a world in which your limo to the airport is often a half-hour late. In addition to not even being a limo at all; often times it's a Lincoln Towncar. You're about to enter a world where you ask your new assistant, Jamie, to bring you a tall, non-fat latte. And he comes back with a short soy cappuccino. Guess what, Jamie? You're fired. Not too hard to get right, my friend.

A world where your acting coach, Bob Leslie-Duncan -- yes, the Bob Leslie-Duncan -- tells you time and time again that you will never, ever be considered as a dramatic actor because you don't play things real, and are too over the top. Amazing! Simply amazing!

I'm sorry, graduates. But this is a world where you aren't allowed to use your cell phone in airplanes, during live theater, at the movies, at funerals, or even during your own elective surgery. Apparently, the Berlin Wall went back up because we now live in Russia. I mean just try lighting up a cigar in a movie theater or paying for a dinner for 20 friends with an autograph. It ain't that easy. Strong words, I know. Tough talk. But more like tough love. Because this is where my faith in you guys comes into play, Harvard University's graduating Class of 2003, without a doubt, the finest, most talented group of sexual beings this great land has to offer.

Nov. 24, 2003 | JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (AP) -- A bullet fired in the air during a Ku Klux Klan initiation ceremony came down and struck a participant in the head, critically injuring him, authorities said.

Gregory Allen Freeman, 45, was charged with aggravated assault and reckless endangerment in the Saturday night incident that wounded Jeffery S. Murr, 24.

About 10 people, including two children, had gathered for the ceremony. The man who was being initiated was blindfolded, tied with a noose to a tree and shot with paintball guns as Freeman fired a pistol in the air to provide the sound of real gunfire, Sheriff Fred Phillips said.

A bullet struck Murr on the top of the head and exited at the bottom of his skull, authorities said.

Freeman fled the ceremony but was arrested near his home, authorities said. He was released on $7,500 bail.

Lost Cities author Childress takes us into the fascinating world of maverick sea captains who were Knights Templars and later Scottish Rite Free Masons who battled the Vatican and the Spanish and Italian ships that sailed for the Pope. This lost Templar Fleet was originally based at La Rochelle in southern France but fled to the deep fiords of Scotland. This banned fleet of ships was later commanded by the St. Clair family of Rosslyn Chapel (birth place of Free Masonry). St. Clair and his Templar made a voyage to Canada in the year 1298 AD, nearly 100 years before Columbus! Later, this fleet of ships and new ones to come, flew the Skull and Cross Bones, the symbol of the Knights Templar. They preyed on the ships of the Vatican coming from the rich ports of the Americas and were ultimately known as the Pirates of the Caribbean.

GEUDA SPRINGS, Kan. -- Residents of this tiny south-central
Kansas community have passed an ordinance requiring most
households to have guns and ammunition.

Noncomplying residents would be fined $10 under the
ordinance, passed 3-2 earlier this month by City Council
members who thought it would help protect the town of
210 people. Those who suffer from physical or mental
disabilities, paupers and people who conscientiously
oppose firearms would be exempt.

Geuda Springs has no local police force;
the Sumner County Sheriff's Department is
responsible for policing the area.

THERE are five Platonic solids of perfect symmetry. Three, the tetrahedron, octahedron and icosahedron, have triangular faces. A fourth, the cube, has square faces. The fifth, the dodecahedron, has pentagonal faces. Plato believed that the first four corresponded to the elements of which the Greeks thought the material world was composed: fire, air, water and earth. The dodecahedron, however, corresponded to quintessence, the element of the heavens. As Plato put it, “God used this solid for the whole universe, embroidering figures on it.” And if the arguments of a paper in this week's Nature stand up, Plato will have been proved right. For Jean-Pierre Luminet, of the Paris Observatory, and his colleagues believe that the universe is, indeed, a dodecahedron.


They base their argument on data collected by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP). This American satellite has been examining the microwave radiation generated shortly after the universe began. The wavelength of this radiation is remarkably pure, but like a musical note it has harmonics associated with it. These harmonics, like those of a note, reflect the shape of the object in which the waves were generated. In the case of the note, that object is a musical instrument. In the case of the microwave background, that object is the universe itself.

The most widely accepted model of the universe suggests that it is both flat and infinite. In this case, flatness does not mean it is two-dimensional, but that the space of which it is composed has no large-scale curves in it. (Small curves induced by gravitational fields, and predicted by the theory of relativity, do exist.) WMAP's data are in close agreement with this model, but that agreement is not perfect. In particular, the second and third harmonics of the microwave radiation are weaker than expected. Dr Luminet's calculations suggest that this weakness can be explained if the universe is finite and dodecahedron-shaped. Of course, things are not quite that simple. Familiar dodecahedrons have an inside and an outside. What Dr Luminet is proposing is actually something called a dodecahedral space, first described by his countryman Jules-Henri Poincaré in the 19th century. Such a space has no boundary, even though it has a finite volume. But it is, quintessentially, a dodecahedron. One up to the Greeks.

Knight Tour Tessellations

John Keel’s (left) The Mothman Prophecies (1975) – argues Colin Bennett – stands alongside John Michell’s Flying Saucer Vision (1967), John Fowles’ The Magus (1965), Patrick Harpur’s Daimonic Reality (1994) and Anthony ‘Doc’ Shiels’ Monstrum (1990) as a modern masterpiece that reimagines our place in the world. Such classics point to ancient magical
connections between Mind and Landscape, the antithesis of the godless ‘objectivity’ of a sterile materialist culture.

The best writers are painters; not content merely to describe, they scorn the base instincts of cloddish objectivity and, as John Keel has done, allow themselves to become part of the investigation itself. Like the characters of Borges and Castaneda, such writers allow themselves to be fooled on occasion in order to hack into the system and let the investigation talk to them. Sometimes this risky participation mystique brings them near to death and madness, as it brought Coleridge and De Quincey and indeed Keel himself. If they survive at all, such shamanic writers bring back wonders, demonstrating that a seeker who takes no risks learns nothing.

In The Mothman Prophecies, Keel tells an astonishing tale of how, as a budding UFO researcher in November 1966, he began investigating sightings in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, of an incredible animal form with characteristics of both man and moth. Keel found, as had his friend Ivan Sanderson before him, that the pursuit of a mystery creature – a ‘cryptid’ – leads very quickly to involvement with the mysteries of a landscape and a community.

The Mothman and his dark-clad ensemble of MIBs mumble codes and bits of strange languages as if in half-sleep. They try to drink jelly, have difficulty with knives and forks, and delight in leaving messages that utterly confuse the UFO witnesses and so-called contactees. They arrive at the homes of witnesses in black saloon cars with untraceable license plates, wearing authentic USAF uniforms, and tell them not to listen to John Keel, should he ever call and ask questions about Mothman… or anything else, for that matter. Some make vague threats to these witnesses, but only as a kind of automated after-thought. Others smell bad, their clothes hang on their very bones, and they wheeze and cough as if seriously ill. Their language and sentence-structure appear to be curiously manufactured, as if by some faulty machine. Their time references are seriously out of date, and all common social and personal sense is fractured in some peculiar way.

Vatican City - John Cardinal Ratzinger, chairman of the powerful Congregation for the Preservation of the Faith, announced today that the Roman Catholic Church has conferred sainthood upon controversial popstar Michael Jackson.

The sanctification Mass of Saint Michael will take place on Sunday, December 14th at Madison Square Garden. Tickets may be purchased online at Ticketmaster and at all Catholic-sponsored bingo parlors in the New York and Boston dioceses. The Mass will be broadcast live on BET, VH-1 and Vatican City MTV, and the guest stars will include the O'Jays, Sister Sledge, the Pointer Sisters and the Fire Island Gay Knights of Columbus Gospel Choir.

excerpts:

When the Pilgrims came to Plymouth Rock, they were poor and hungry – half of them died within a few months from disease and hunger. When Squanto, a Wampanoag man, found them, they were in a pitiful state. He spoke English, having traveled to Europe, and took pity on them. Their English crops had failed. The native people fed them through the winter and taught them how to grow their food.


These were not merely "friendly Indians." They had already experienced European slave traders raiding their villages for a hundred years or so, and they were wary – but it was their way to give freely to those who had nothing. Among many of our peoples, showing that you can give without holding back is the way to earn respect. Among the Dakota, my father's people, they say, when asked to give, "Are we not Dakota and alive?" It was believed that by giving there would be enough for all – the exact opposite of the system we live in now, which is based on selling, not giving.

Since that initial sharing, Native American food has spread around the world. Nearly 70 percent of all crops grown today were originally cultivated by Native American peoples. I sometimes wonder what they ate in Europe before they met us. Spaghetti without tomatoes? Meat and potatoes without potatoes? And at the "first Thanksgiving" the Wampanoags provided most of the food – and signed a treaty granting Pilgrims the right to the land at Plymouth, the real reason for the first Thanksgiving.

excerpts:

Christians have attempted to lay claim to the Hebrew Bible much as modern-day "New Age" people lay claim to Native American ceremonies and other practices. Appropriating someone else?s religious traditions is not new.

It is a marvel to see how some Christians often misuse the Hebrew Bible, as when they might quote a passage which states that for one man to lay with another would be an "abomination." What is peculiar about their usage of passages in the older books of the Hebrew Bible is that they will completely ignore nearby passages which require that land be allowed to rest fallow every seven years, and that all debts must be forgiven, and that gleanings must be shared with the poor, and countless other equalitarian injunctions which modern-day "conservatives" abhor. And, of course, they also ignore the popular Christian belief that the "Law" of the Jews was set aside by Yahshua (Yeshwa, or Jesus).

New Agers and native wisdom
http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/41/021.html

an excerpt:

I would like to offer my views on this issue of Native American beliefs and New Age beliefs. I am a Cherokee woman, my Mother was Nora Emory, the daughter of Sarah Willis, who's mother was a member of the Wolf clan of the Eastern Cherokee. What my grandmother taught me about the beliefs of the people are as opposite from the New age beliefs as any one can get. Because the differences between the two systems, there is no way that there can be any merging of the two without one group giving up their basic fundamental beliefs and adopting the others beliefs. I am not willing to give up what my Grandmother taught me. NO! THE NEW AGERS DO NOT DO A GOOD JOB OF REPRESENTING THE BELIEFS OF MY PEOPLE. They steal the cerimonies and parts of the beliefs that they choose without permission, without knowlege. They bastardize them and re-package them for sell to the public either for money or credibility. And I am so very sick and tired of it. What the new agers do to our beliefs is another form of genocide that my people have had to endure.

War Against Exploiters of Lakota Spirituality
http://puffin.creighton.edu/lakota/war.html

WHEREAS for too long we have suffered the unspeakable indignity of having our most precious Lakota ceremonies and spiritual practices desecrated, mocked and abused by non-Indian "wannabes," hucksters, cultists, commercial profiteers and self-styled "New Age shamans" and their followers; and

WHEREAS with horror and outrage we see this disgraceful expropriation of our sacred Lakota traditions has reached epidemic proportions in urban areas throughout the country; and

WHEREAS our precious Sacred Pipe is being desecrated through the sale of pipestone pipes at flea markets, powwows, and "New Age" retail stores; and

WHEREAS pseudo-religious corporations have been formed to charge people money for admission into phony "sweatlodges" and "vision quest" programs; and

WHEREAS sacrilegious "sundances" for non-Indians are being conducted by charlatans and cult leaders who promote abominable and obscene imitations of our sacred Lakota sundance rites; and

WHEREAS academic disciplines have sprung up at colleges and universities institutionalizing the sacrilegious imitation of our spiritual practices by students and instructors under the guise of educational programs in "shaminism;" and

WHEREAS non-Indian charlatans and "wannabes" are selling books that promote the systematic colonization of our Lakota spirituality; and

WHEREAS the television and film industry continues to saturate the entertainment media with vulgar, sensationalist and grossly distorted representations of Lakota spirituality and culture which reinforce the public's negative stereotyping of Indian people and which gravely impair the self-esteem of our children; and

WHEREAS individuals and groups involved in "the New Age Movement," in "the men's movement," in "neo-paganism" cults and in "shamanism" workshops all have exploited the spiritual traditions of our Lakota people by imitating our ceremonial ways and by mixing such imitation rituals with non-Indian occult practices in an offensive and harmful pseudo-religious hodgepodge; (cont)

A SKELETON KEY TO THE GEMSTONE FILES

Onassis, Howard Hughes, JFK, RFK, MLK, Teddy,
Jackie, Dickie, Nader, Mary Jo, and the
CIA/Mafia/Big Business Take-over of the U.S.A. in 1963

an excerpt:



**** The GEMSTONE FILE ***


July, 1986
This is a verbatim transcript from a photo-copy that some person gave me.
He said that part of this document or related documents were published in
serial form in the late 1970's in some kind of men's magazine (Penthouse,
Ramparts, After Dark?, I can't remember, but I know it wasn't Playboy as
that would have stuck in my mind). I got this in 1984. Punctuation and
grammer errors are included (there are plenty of punctuation errors and I
think this guy's horrible use of commas and parentheses is rubbing off on
me.)


A SKELETON KEY TO THE GEMSTONE FILES MAY 1, 1975



The gemstone file was written in many segments over a period of years by an
American man named Bruce Roberts. Parts of the file were released to
certain Americans beginning in 1969. The number of handwritten pages is
well over a thousand, of which I have read about four hundred. I do not
have the time of the research facilities to verify the entire story.
Perhaps others can help.

Since the scope of the work is so large, and the events described so
complex and interlocking, it may be more easily understood with this
skeleton outline of the gemstone thesis. Individual papers can then be
read with greater comprehension.

1932: Onassis, a Greek drug pusher and ship owner who made his first
million selling "Turkish tobacco" (Opium) in Argentina, worked out a
profitable deal with Joseph Kennedy, Eugene Meyer, and Meyer Lansky.
Onassis was to ship booze directly into Boston for Joseph Kennedy. Also
involved was a heroin deal with Franklin and Elliott Roosevelt.

1934: Onassis, Rockefeller and the Seven Sisters (major oil companies)
signed an agreement, outlined an oil cartel memo: Beat the Arabs out of
their oil, ship it on Onassis's ships; Rockefeller and the Seven Sisters to
get rich. All this was done.

Roberts, studying journalism and physics at the University of Wisconsin
learned these things via personal contacts. His special interest was in
crystallography -- and the creation of synthetic rubies, the original
Gemstone experiment.

1936-1940: Eugene Meyer buys the Washington Post, to get our news Media;
other Mafia buy other papers, broadcasting, T.V., etc. News censorship of
all major news goes into effect.

1941-1945: World War II; very profitable for Onassis, Rockefeller,
Kennedys, Roosevelts, I.G. Parben, etc. Onassis selling oil, arms and dope
to both sides went through the war without losing a single ship or man.

1949: Onassis buys U.S. surplus "Liberty Ships" in questionable (illegal)
purchase. Lawyer Burke Marshall helps him.

1956: Howard Hughes, Texas millionaire, is meanwhile buying his way toward
his own personal gain. He buys senators, governors, etc. He finally buys
his last politician: newly elected V.P. Nixon, via a quarter-million dollar
non-repayable loan to Nixon's brother Donald.

Early 1957: V.P. Nixon repays the favor by having IRS Treasury grants tax-
free status (refused twice before) to "Hughes Medical Foundation", sole
owner of Hughes Aircraft, creating a tax-free, non-accountable money funnel
or laundry, for whatever Hughes wanted to do. U.S. Government also shelved
anti-trust suits against Hughes' T.W.A., etc.

March 1957: Onassis carried out a carefully planned event: He has Hughes
kidnapped from his bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel, using Hughes' own
men (Chester Davis, born Cesare in Sisily, et al). Hughes" men either
quit, get fired, or stay on in the new Onassis organization. A few days
later, Mayor Cannon of Nevada (now senator Cannon) arranges a fake
"marriage" to Jean Peters, to explain Hughes' battered and brain damaged
in the scuffle, is taken to the Emerald Isle Hotel in the Bahamas, where
the entire top floor has been rented for thirty days and later dragged off
to a cell on Onassis's island, Skorpios. Onassis now has a much larger
power base in the U.S. (the Hughes empire), as well as control over V.P.
Nixon and other Hughes purchased politicians. L. Wayne Rector "Hughes"
double since 1955, becomes "Hughes".

September, 1957: Onassis calls the Appalachian meeting to announce to U.S.
Mafia head his grab of Hughes and his adoption of Hughes game plan for
acquiring power: buying U.S. senators, congressmen, governors, judges to
take control legally of the U.S. government. Onassis's radio message to
Appalachia from a remote Pennsylvania farmhouse intercepted (reluctantly)
by FBI's J. Edgar Hoover, on the basis of a tip-off from some Army
Intelligence guys who wern't in on the plan.

Also in 1957: Joseph Kennedy takes John F. and Jackie to see Onassis on his
yacht, introduced John and reminds Onassis of an old Mafia promise: the
presidency for a Kennedy. Onassis agrees.

1958: Hordes of Mafia-selected, purchased and supported "grass roots"
candidates sweep into office.

1959: Castro takes over Cuba from dictator Battista, thereby destroying
cozy and lucrative Mafia gambling empire run for Onassis by Meyer Lansky.
Castro scoops up 6$ million in Mafia casino receipts. Onassis is furious,
V.P. Nixon becomes operations chief for CIA-planned Bay of Pigs invasion,
using CIA Hunt, McCord, etc., and Cuban ex-Battista strong-arm cops (Cuban
freedom-fighters) Martinez, Consalez, etc., as well as winners like Frank
Sturgis (Fiorini).

1959: Stirring election battle between Kennedy and Nixon. Either way
Onassis wins, since he has control over both candidates.

1960: JFK elected. American people happy. Rose Kennedy happy. Onassis
happy. Mafia estatic.

Roberts brings his synthetic rubies--the original gemstones to Hughes
Aircraft in Los Angeles. They steal his rubies -- the basis for Laser beam
research, laser bombs, etc., because of the optical quality of the rubies.
One of the eleven possible sources for one of the ingredients involved in
the Gemstone experiment was the Golden Triangle area. Roberts was maried
to the daughter of the former French consul in Indochina. In that area,
Onassis's involvements in the Golden Triangle dope trade was no secret.
Roberts investigation revealed the Onassis-Hughes connection, kidnap and
switch. "Gemstones"--synthetic rubies and sapphires with accomplished
"histories"--gemstone papers--were sold or given away to consulun offices--
in return for information. A world-wide information network was gradually
developed-a trade of the intelligence activities of many countries. This
intelligence network is the source for much of the information in the
Gemstone File.

January 1961: Joseph Kennedy has a stroke, ending his control over John
and Bobby. The boys decide to rebel against Onassis's control. Why?
Inter-Mafia struggle? Perhaps a dim hope of restoring this country to it's
mythical integrity?
They began committing Mafia no-no's: Arrested Wally Bird owner or Air
Thailand, who had been shipping Onassis's heroin out of the Golden Triangle
(Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam), under contract with the CIA (Air Opium):
arrested teamster Mafia Jimmy Hoffa, and put him in jail. Declared the 73$
million in forged "Hughes" land liens, deposited with San Francisco Bank of
America, as "security" for the TWA judgement against Hughes, to be what
they are: Forgeries.

April 1961: CIA Bay of Pigs fiasco. Hunt, McCord, CIA Battista's Cubans
and Mafia angry about JFK's lack of enthusiasm. Mafia Onassis has his
right-hand man "Hughes'top aid" former FBI and CIA Robert Maheu (nicknamed
"IBM" for Iron Bob Maheu), hire and train a Mafia assassination team to get
Castro. The team of a dozen or so includes John Roselli and Jimmy (The
Weasel) Prattiano, expert Mafia hitmen, assisted by CIA Hunt and McCord and
others. This was reported recently by Jack Anderson, who gets a lot of his
"tips" from his friend, Frank (Fiorini) Sturgis--also on the Castro
assassination team. The team tries five times to kill Castro with
everything from long-range rifles to apple pie with sodium morphate in it.
Castro survives.

1963: Members of the Castro assassination team arrested at Lake
Pontechartrain, La. by Bobby Kennedy's justice boys. Angered, Onassis
stops trying to kill Castro. He changes target and goes for the head:
JFK, who, according to Onassis, "welched" on a Mafia deal. JFK sets up
"Group of 40" to fight Onassis.

August 1963: Two murders had to occur before the murder of JFK, or people
who would understand the situation and might squawk:

(a)Senator Estes Kefauver; whose crimes commission investigations had
uncovered the 1932 deal between Onassis, Kennedy, Eugene Meyer, Lansky,
Roosevelt, et al. Kefauver planned a speech on the senate floor denouncing
Mafia operations; instead, he ate a piece of apple pie laced with sodium
morphate (used in rat poison), and had a sodium-morphate-induced "heart
attack" on the Senate floor.

(b)Phillip Graham: Editor of the Washington Post. Phillip had married
Katherine Meyer, Eugene Meyer's daughter, who had inherited the Washington
Post and allied media empire. Graham put together the Kennedy-Johnson
ticket and was Kennedy's friend in the struggle with Onassis. According to
Gemstone, Katherine Meyer Graham bribed some psychiatrists to certify that
Phil was insane. He was allowed out of the nuthouse for the weekend and
died of a shotgun wound in the head in the Graham home in Washington; death
ruled "suicide".

November 1, 1963: The hit on JFK was supposed to take place in true Mafia
style: a triple execution, together with Diem and Nhu in Vietnam. Diem and
Nhu got theirs, as scheduled. Onassis had invited Jackie for a cruise on
the Christina, where she was when JFK got tipped off that big "O" planned
to wipe him out. JFK called Jackie on the yacht, from the White House,
hysterical: "Get off that yacht if you have to swim"' and cancelled his
appearance at a football stadium in Chicago, where this CIA-Mafia
assassination team was poised for the kill. Jackie stayed on board,
descended the gangplank a few days later on Onassis's arm, in Turkey, to
impress the Bey, Mustapha. Madame Nhu, in the U.S. bitterly remarked
whatever has happened in Vietnam.
