I have learned from my own life, and from working with others, that everything does and will change in time - experiences, beliefs,emotions, relationships. Life is fluid and evolving, and since evolution is a constant, so are our opportunities for growth,enhancement, and learning.
As a channeler for voices from spirit rather than the body, my direct experience is that spirit exists, and that we can each find more of our spirit within ourselves as human beings. As we do so, we increase our energies of peace and love which positively transforms us as individuals and the world.
I daily surrender to not knowing, and not 'believing'. For anything firmly believed can always evolve, or be challenged. The battle over opinions and points of view among people is the root cause of our conflicts in the past and now. I do not seek to engage in the war over 'right' and 'wrong' which simply reinforces our separation. Instead, my focus is on a more compassionate heart in my experience of life, and the growth of more loving people on our planet. I therefore know that I have to constantly nurture the love in myself where and whenever possible.
My journey as a channeler began in 1998. I heard the voice of 'Zachary' first, and he explained he was part of a greater collective of 88 spirit guides. I was a spiritual and self-development explorer at that time and in the following years I had almost daily conversations with Zachary and the collective. I never expected to use my skills as a channeler and intuitive as a career, but by 2006 it had become my full time vocation. In 2007, Zapharia and Ziadora, stepped forward to join Zachary as the 3 public spokespeople for the collective.
In the past 7 and a half years, I have worked with over 1700 people worldwide in personal sessions, led seminars and retreats in 10 different countries, delivered online video broadcasts and hosted 2 spiritual radio shows. Writings are a significant component of my work and my monthly energy forecasts which highlight the energetic opportunities and challenges each month has become a stable of my offerings.
Being a messenger from the field of collective intelligence as a vocation has been an incredible experience on so many levels. Through working with people from so many places in the world who are engaged in a seemingly infinite number of paths, I have been lucky enough to constantly see the universal love and openness that links us all. Whoever we are and whatever is our life experience, the truth of a loving and open heart is always present when we can calm and return ourselves to centre.
My simple wish with every area of my work, is that it may help people to better remember who they are and how to find more balance in life.
When we remember that we are of spirit as much as we are of the Earth, new possibilities are born, and no feeling or thought we may have becomes judged, or seen as a barrier. It all simply 'is'. Part of the tapestry of you to discover. And in that allowing, with no fight, we can become one with ourselves and others once more.

ABOUT THE AMERICAN DEFENSE PARTY
Recent history has shown that America is a presidential dictatorship, abetted by a cowardly Congress and graced by a corrupt Supreme Court. It has masqueraded as a democracy and as a republic and as a nation guided by “the rule of law.” But the law is only for us, the people, to obey and be controlled. The lawmakers and law enforcers make and enforce the law on the orders of our deadly enemies. The law is a weapon in the hands of our enemies. We are actually under the law of the gun.
There are two political philosophies in America. One philosophy is that government is necessary and as such deserves to be voted on and validated periodically. This philosophy includes the idea that government is a necessary evil and needs to be tamed by electing “good new people” to keep it under control due to the naturally corrupting nature of government. But as we all can see, with untold trillions of dollars of government debt to the private Federal Reserve, Communist China and others, the government is out of control and has been for a hundred years. The government lies us into war after war and has slaughtered millions of people just in the last twenty years and produced a million US casualties out of two and a half million troops who were in the two Moslem wars. The government has lied us into a fraudulent version of socialist medicine which has already caused millions to lose their hard-earned health insurance policies with nothing to replace them. This new attempt at socialist medicine was planned to be run by the IRS, which can’t even run itself without committing major crimes.
All of this and much more were made possible by a hundred years of voting. I say one hundred years because that is exactly how long it’s been since our elected representatives voted to make the Federal Reserve Act into “law.” This criminal act mmediately led to a century of ghastly war that is ongoing.
At last count, there were about 150 million registered voters. About 127 million of them voted in the 2012 election. There are about 207 million Americans who are eligible to vote and of them about 80 million did not vote in that election. Many of the voters vote out of habit or resignation with the excuse that the lesser of two evils would be better to have power over us than the greater of two evils. Once in office, however, the lesser of two evils always becomes the great evil.
The other philosophy is that the government is our main and most dangerous enemy and must not be supported in any way, especially by voting. Those 80 million non-voters make up our base, whatever the actual reasons they did not vote may be. At least they didn’t contribute to the corruption by voting. A non-voting political party dedicated to the shutting down of the suicidal and catastrophic federal system would give Americans an actual means to unlatch the homicidal parasites from our veins and bank accounts. All government is life-destroying cancer but nothing compares with the US federal government for fraud, theft, waste, spying and mass murder. A non-voting party would formalize the idea that federalism must be outlawed.
The issue would become Government or No Government, one or the other, because we can easily see where constitutional government has put us. The new party wouldn't put people in federal office because we want to do away with the federal government and you can't do that as a part of government. The political climate in America is ripe for radical change. The Neo-Cons who took control of the Bush and Obama administrations have brought only chaos and hardship to America and mass death and misery to the peoples of the world. The Neo-Cons have plotted to rule the world for decades but once in power demonstrated only ineptitude and failure at everything other than destruction.
The American Defense Party would replace the Constitution with Articles of Confederation – a modern version of the original. There would be no central government to enforce the private central bank, both of which would be abolished forever. The one legitimate function of the remaining Treasury Department – appropriated by the Confederation – would be to create and distribute debt-free currency (Kennedy’s 1963 US Note). That would be one of the first principles of the party platform.
The party would eliminate the web of control used by the central federal government to destroy us and others through relentless totalitarian laws, regulations and executive orders. The warlords of Washington must be put out of business permanently. The war industry and all its satellites would be outlawed by the Confederation. The Confederation itself would be a voluntary one – any states not wishing to join would be free not to.
Why have a party if there's no one to vote for? For a sense of identity and camaraderie and communications and organization and a common declaration and agreement of purpose. And for organized defense against aggression. Party members would be supported and defended by fellow members if attacked. A position on subversion and treachery can be given once our traditional enemies inevitably react the way they always do.The party would face a lot of danger and violence. That in itself would justify its existence and its advertised purpose of self-defense.
The party would stand for everything that's healthy and against all the brutality and corruption in government. America lost all its good jobs because of the federal government. So if someone were to say, "But what will we do without a federal government?" the answer would be, "We'll prosper." We have lost our basic right to privacy to the federal government and that right there is reason enough to abolish it forever. No central government was the whole idea behind the American Revolution. The central government has announced its plans to arrest us and assassinate us, totrap us in a non-functioning socialist medical system that would only destroy our health, run by the most notorious financial terrorists in US history, the IRS, and I don't need to go on. So, no, we don't need a central government and probably can't survive much longer with the one we have.
It must be dismantled and prohibited forever. This can be done by a strong, well-armed political party when its numbers approach those of the militia movement of the 1990s. The party would be very militant; it would have to be to survive. When it gets to the size, say, of the militia movement of the '90s, it would be strong enough to overthrow the federal government, which was never the declared goal of the militia. A militant political party that large wouldn't really need violence - it could issue an ultimatum. But there would be violence along the way to this massive size, and the violence would attract tough people to the party.
The party would be concerned with national defense against treason and be against all military aggression, sabotage and espionage, which would mean the end of the deadly, tax-supported military industry. Everything the federal government does would end, such as foreign aid, protecting Monsanto and the deadly AMA. Everything, because one thing the federal government doesn't do now is supply our currency, the only thing it should be doing.
Max Geller is a 2nd year law student at Northeastern University in Boston, Massachussetts. He is also one of the senior members of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) - an advocacy group for the rights of the Palestinians. Recently, their group was suspended, meaning they could no longer meet, hold activities or receive funding on Northeastern Univeristy Campus.
Over the years, Max has witnessed what he believes is a deliberate targetting of the SJP organization and members leading up to and including this latest development. The story might have remained buried and unnoticed but the issue has turned into something more - the right to Freedom of Speech, and Northeastern SJP has received mainstream and alternative media coverage, support from activist groups nationwide as well as the American Civil Liberties Union which may take legal action against Northeastern University on behalf of SJP.
Below is Max's articulate and documented response to Northeastern University's suspension of his group. It is suggested that if you read the news stories following this story that you compare Max's response to what the news may be reporting inaccurately with or without intended bias:

Emily Hardman Director of Student Programming & Communications Office for Student Affairs Northeastern University
Re: Appeal of March 7, 2013 Suspension of Students for Justice in Palestine
Dear Ms. Hardman,
We received the attached suspension notice from Jason Campbell-Foster. On behalf of Students for Justice in Palestine, we are writing in response to this suspension notice. As discussed in detail below, we contest the assertions made by the University in the suspension notice. Please consider this letter our appeal of the suspension of our group, which we intend to supplement once we have seen all of the evidence on which the University is relying. Given the severity of the punishment, we believe we should be provided with due process, including access to the factual allegations against us and a proper hearing.
BACKGROUND
On April 8, 2013, an invited panel of active duty Israeli Defense Force (IDF) soldiers spoke at Northeastern. SJP conducted a walk-out at the beginning of this event, after which the event continued as scheduled. We did not disrupt the event. The following day, the University attempted to cancel an event planned by SJP as a “direct result” of our April 8, 2013 walk-out, according to Stephanie Pierce. After a hearing, SJP was found responsible for a violation of the demonstration policy – specifically, a failure to give 7-day notice of a demonstration. SJP was sanctioned, and placed on probation for alleged violations of the policy relating to the April 8, 2013 IDF panel event until December 31, 2013. We disputed these allegations at our hearing and in our subsequent written appeal. On May 3, 2013, we were advised of the penalties and conditions to which SJP would be subjected. We were informed that, in order toreturn to good standing with the University, among other conditions, we would need to create and submit a civility statement in coordination with the Political Action Council. We submitted our civility statement on December 31, 2013. Unfortunately, the Political Action Council did not convene between the day our sanctions were issued and the day we submitted thisstatement. After we submitted the statement, on February 12, 2014, Associate Dean Jose asked SJP to revise the statement, saying he “Would like to receive something back…before Spring Break.” (See attached email from Dean. Jose). While we made several efforts to connect with Mr. Jose after February 12th, as detailed below, we were unable to talk with him. At no point were we told that February 28th was a "deadline” after which we would be in violation of a rule or policy.
Since the day our sanctions were issued last May, the Political Action Council has met exactly once. The attendance record from the February 27th, 2014 meeting of the Council reflects that two SJP members were present.Given that we submitted the civility statement and attended this meeting, we understood that SJP started the Spring 2014 semester in good standing with the University and that the probation ended December 31, 2013 as indicated in communications with University officials. On February 23, 2014, mock “eviction notices” were distributed at student dormitories on campus. On February 25, 2014, NUPD officers began to contact SJP members by cell phone, arrive unannounced at their homes, and interrogate them about the distribution of the mock notices. Last week, the University suspended SJP, and informed us of this by a notice dated March 7, 2014 (see attached). In the week and a half between the police interrogations and the issuance of the suspension notice, SJP was never notified or formally charged with involvement in the distribution of the mock eviction notices. SJP has not been granted a hearing or any other opportunity to formally contest any of the allegations made in the suspension notice.
RESPONSE TO ALLEGATIONS MADE AGAINST SJP IN SUSPENSION NOTICE
As stated above, we contest the assertions that the University made about us in its suspension notice (attached). Directly below, we have highlighted and responded to some of the most glaring inaccuracies contained in the notice. However, this list is not exhaustive, and our appeal letter is no substitute for a formal public hearing, an opportunity to challenge the evidence the University cites, and a formal opportunity to respond to all allegations. This is not a complete rebuttal, but merely a sampling of particularly egregious inaccuracies and omissions contained in the suspension notice.
1 and 2. The University incorrectly alleges that SJP failed to “reach out” to Mr. Jose, and that SJP failed to submit a civility statement with “significant revisions” before the February 28th “deadline”
On October 28th, 2013 SJP members met with Mr. Jose and discussed the submission of the civility statement before the end of the year. SJP submitted our civility statement on December 31, 2013. As stated above, we had no opportunity to attend a Political Action Council meeting before this date because no such meeting had been convened. We met with Mr. Jose on February 12, 2014. He sent an email on February 13 detailing broad changes he wanted “to see added” to our submitted statement, and that he “Would like to receive something back…before Spring Break.” (See attached email from Mr.Jose). We made several efforts to contact Mr. Jose after February 12 both in person (on March 3 & 4) and by phone (March 6), as SJP members’ phone and voicemail records show, but he indicated that he was busy, and we were unable to reach him before Spring Break,. SJP acted in good faith by submitting a civility statement outlining our group’s intentions, attending Political Action Council meetings, meeting with Mr. Jose, and attempting to reach him to further discuss the matter before Spring Break. It is disingenuous of the university to state in the Suspension Notice that we failed to meet a “deadline” when we made significant efforts to respond to Mr. Jose in the short timeframe his email suggested. It is also significant that the NUPD began interrogating SJP members on February 25, 2014, mere days before the beginning of Spring Break when Mr. Jose asked that we send him a revised civility statement. The interrogations diverted our attention from revising the civility statement, and required our immediate response given the legitimate fears of legal and academic consequences for targeted students.
3. The University alleges that SJP is responsible for sliding mock eviction flyers under doors in residence halls; a charge which SJP disputes.
SJP disputes the charge that we violated University policy in connection with mock eviction notices that were slid under student's doors. Before receiving the March 7 suspension notice, SJP was never notified or formally charged with involvement in the distribution of mock eviction notices. SJP has not been granted a hearing or any other opportunity to formally contest this allegation, nor has the University provided us with the evidence on which they have based this charge.
4. The University incorrectly asserts that SJP has not been regularly attending meetings of the Political Action Council.
As stated above, since the day our sanctions were issued last May, the Political Action Council has met exactly once. The attendance record from that one meeting on February 27th, 2014 reflects that two SJP members were present. Additionally, in our meeting with Bob Jose on February 12th we discussed SJP’s past participation in the Council meetings and the new plan for having the Council convene only once per semester. This demonstrates that SJP has in fact been consistently participating in the Council meetings, as Dean Jose remembered our participation in these sessions and never mentioned that we had not met our obligation with regard to the Council.
5. The University falsely accuses SJP of acts of vandalism that allegedly occurred on the Northeastern University campus in 2012. In the suspension notice, SJP is accused of “Vandalism of university property by placing stickers on variousstructures in April 2012.”
The March 2014 suspension notice is the first time that SJP has been informed of any accusation that we allegedly engaged in such behavior. SJP had nothing to do with this alleged vandalism. There are many individuals within and beyond our campus community who engage in pro-Palestine speech and expression, and not all of these individuals are SJP members. SJP must be provided a full demonstration of the evidence used to justify our suspension, and a fair, public, and meaningful opportunity to contest any such evidence.
6. The University incorrectly alleges that SJP failed to comply with cancellation of an April 2013 event. In the suspension notice, the University claims that SJP is charged with “Failure to comply with event planning and contract policies in preparation of an event with a guest speaker in April 2013,” referring to the planned lecture by Dr. Salman Abu Sitta.
The suspension notice is inaccurate. In our sanction letter, dated May 3, 2013, the University found us “NOT RESPONSIBLE” for the charge, “Failure to comply with cancellation of event as requested.” This part of the sanction letter refers to the same April 2013 event as the March 2014 suspension notice. It is unclear why, in March 2014, the University is justifying the suspension of SJP based partly on an alleged violation for which the University already found us “NOT RESPONSIBLE.”
7. The University incorrectly alleges that SJP disrupted another student event on April 8, 2013. SJP was found responsible for violating the university demonstration policy by not providing one week advance notice.
There was no finding that SJP was responsible for any disruption. In fact, SJP did not disrupt that event. It went forward and no one was prevented from speaking.
CONCERNS REGARDING DISPARATE TREATMENT
Several aspects of the suspension notice, and other University communications and actions, suggest that the school has singled out SJP and its members for interrogation, sanction, and suspension due to our pro-Palestinian political beliefs. Some individual students may also have been targeted for their real or perceived religion, race, or ethnicity. To treat students r student groups differently on these bases is illegal, violates school policy, and is inconsistent with maintaining diversity, academic freedom, and a free exchange of ideas on campus.
1. Northeastern University SJP is the only group ever to be suspended and banned from Northeastern’s campus for peaceful expressive activity, to our knowledge.
2. No other university has suspended an SJP chapter for alleged mock eviction actions, even though both individual students and student groups participate in such actions on many U.S.campuses.
3. It is unprecedented tosuspend a student group for alleged rule violations, particularly without a fair process to review and contest charges and evidence.
4. School policies regarding posting fliers are routinely flouted and ignored by other students and student groups, and we are unaware of any sanctions pursued against others who do this. It appears that flier distribution is only interrogated by the NUPD or subject to discipline when the content of the flier includes pro-Palestinian speech. Examples of tacitly accepted fliers on campus include athletic team boosters, postings for music and drama events, fraternity advertisements, and menus from local businesses.
CONCLUSION
The suspension notice relies primarily on charges for which SJP was found not responsible, or matters about which SJP has never had the chance to defend itself. That we are being suspended for rule violations, for which we have not been given the proper opportunity to respond, represents a fatal flaw in the process that has led to our suspension. The banning of SJP represents a draconian repression of our speech rights and belies the University’s commitment to academic freedom.

HELEN CALDICOTT is the single most articulate and passionate advocate of citizen action to remedy the nuclear and environmental crises, Dr Helen Caldicott, has devoted the last forty two years to an international campaign to educate the public about the medical hazards of the nuclear age and the necessary changes in human behavior to stop environmental destruction.
Born in Melbourne, Australia in 1938, Dr Caldicott received her medical degree from the University of Adelaide Medical School in 1961. She founded the Cystic Fibrosis Clinic at the Adelaide Children’s Hospital in 1975 and subsequently was an instructor in pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and on the staff of the Children’s Hospital Medical Center, Boston, Mass., until 1980 when she resigned to work full time on the prevention of nuclear war.
In 1971, Dr Caldicott played a major role in Australia’s opposition to French atmospheric nuclear testing in the Pacific; in 1975 she worked with the Australian trade unions to educate their members about the medical dangers of the nuclear fuel cycle, with particular reference to uranium mining. While living in the United States from 1977 to 1986, she played a major role in re-invigorating as President, Physicians for Social Responsibility, an organization of 23,000 doctors committed to educating their colleagues about the dangers of nuclear power, nuclear weapons and nuclear war. On trips abroad she helped start similar medical organizations in many other countries. The international umbrella group (International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War) won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1985. She also founded the Women’s Action for Nuclear Disarmament (WAND) in the US in 1980.

Dr Caldicott currently divides her time between Australia and the US where she lectures widely. In year 2001, she founded the US-based Nuclear Policy Research Institute (NPRI), which became Beyond Nuclear. Currently, Dr Caldicott is President of The Helen Caldicott Foundation/NuclearFreePlanet.org, which initiates symposiums and other educational projects to inform the public and the media of the dangers of nuclear power and weapons.
The mission of the Foundation is education to action, and the promotion of a nuclear-energy and weapons-free, renewable energy powered, world. The Foundation’s most recent symposium, co-sponsored by Physicians for Social Responsibility was held at the New York Academy of Medicine in March 2013, 2013. It was entitled The Medical and Environmental Consequences of Fukushima helencaldicottfoundation.org
A book – Crisis Without E nd — emanating from the conference proceedings and edited by Dr. Caldicott will be published by The New Press in the Spring of 2014.

I started my sojourn on the planet growing up in a cozy family environment which encouraged love, laughter and learning. I chose to follow my ‘muse’ early in life by becoming a professional rock musician, which enabled me to thrive enough to support a family early on. I returned to schooling at age 40, and settled into the helping professions as a counselor for children, families and the unemployed. My interests led me to become trained and certified in Nutrition. I eventually embraced Quantum Biofeedback, an advanced computerized healing system, as both a practitioner and eventually international trainer and educator. My interests have expanded further to embrace the Spiritual aspects of healing, and now, with my wife Erina, teach and train others to become Licensed Spiritual Healers. My own inner work has evolved into an optimistic world view and desire share this with others through writing, teaching and music. I have authored ‘Navigating the Collapse of Time’ and co-authored ‘Dowsing Beyond Duality’ with Erina to support others in tapping into their greatest potentials.

Fellow Jazz musician and activist Gilad Atzmon who visited, interviewed and actually played music with Trevor LaBonte, tells the story of our guest better than anyone. Here is his article...
The War Against Trevor (LaBonte) by Gilad Atzmon
Until two years ago, Trevor LaBonte was one of the most successful Jazz artists in Texas. He had been performing every night and in the most prestigious venues. He was the first-call guitar player for many of Austin’s prominent musicians. But then it all changed.
Gilad Atzmon: Trevor you were a local Jazz hero, what happened?
Trevor LaBonte: An activist named Craig Berlin, owner of Pro-Tape Staff in Austin, organized a campaign to destroy my career by terrorizing the entire Austin music community. He creates Facebook posts in which he tags 50 or 60 important people in town, and reports to them that I am a ‘Nazi,’ an ‘Anti-Semite,’ and a ‘holocaust denier.’ Berlin demands that everyone must do everything in their power to make sure I never play another note in public. At first, most people ignored him, but then others took up his cause, including the radio DJ Andy Langer from KGSR, helping to make sure I have become a hate figure and completely ostracized.
Let me understand correctly, you didn’t publish a book or even an article, all that vile campaign against you was launched because you expressed some thoughts on your own Facebook page? Is it correct?
--Yes, that's what happened.
How have your friends reacted to this onslaught?
--They are confused and afraid, mostly. Many of them quietly agree with at least some of what I say, and they are still friends with me. But understandably, they are scared to be listed in a performance announcement with me, since they would be certain to draw the hissing and screeching and boycott of Craig Berlin's fans. Most of my friends are sad and just want to play music together. Anyone who tries to stick up for me, or just moderate the witch hunt against me, risks being similarly attacked themselves. And the attacks are vile.
Musicians are not used to being vilified for unusual opinions I guess that it would be correct to argue that the entire Jazz community is strictly speaking terrorized by this Jewish campaign to ostracize you.
-- Many of the musicians in Austin are Jewish and are among my friends. The campaign against me is being orchestrated by about 10 Jewish people who have publicly agreed amongst themselves that I have fallen ‘gravely mentally ill’, must be taken immediately to a ‘psychiatric institution’ and be ‘heavily dosed with meds.’
This sounds familiar..
-- One recommend that I be castrated by chainsaw.
This is clearly more radical treatment than the traditional rabbinical circumcision apparatus..
--There were many other violent threats and fantasies, which are an interesting and revealing
response to my mission statement: I advocate universal human rights and opposition to supremacism, violence and corruption of all forms, Jewish, Christian or otherwise. I also believe in the free exchange of ideas and free speech.
I have now met your beautiful and kind girlfriend and your lovely parents. I saw a lot of fear, it seems that everyone around you is subject to harassment by Berlin and his defamation troopers, I even learned from venue owners that they were harassed by Berlin and his klan. Have you ever spoke to Craig? Did you meet him?
--We have only communicated briefly on Facebook. He keeps me blocked now, so I can't even see what he is saying about me, let alone defend myself. I have no choice except to just let him go crazy for the world to see. I hope this demonic ranting helps people to understand the rampant madness raging in such obsessed minds.
I obviously looked at the accusations against you and they are indeed vile, You are quoted questioning on FB "If Hitler was an evil dictator, then why did he have broad public support? Why did Germany love him so much?
This is obviously a legitimate and valid question. However when I visited your FB page I realized that you push it a bit further, you question the Holocaust official narrative. You ask “what about those ‘gas chambers?’ Where are they? Why were they never found?” Trevor, do you realise that such questions are banned by in European countries? Why do you think there is an attempt to stop Holocaust revisionism? Why are you chased, what are they afraid of?
--Yes, I realize Holocaust revisionism is banned in 17 countries. But America is not one of them. Americans need to use their right to free speech to question traditional history of all kinds. The Holocaust is no different in that respect.
You have also suggested that Jews were highly involved with Bolshevism. Truth can be offensive, but why is this the case?
-- In this case, the truth is offensive to Jews because, were it to become widely known, their whole narrative of history would have to change. The fact is that Bolshevism was largely a Jewish supported cause.
I am not a supporter of Bolshevism nor am I a Marxist, but I would simply argue that Jews used their dominance within the Bolshevik movement in order to promote their ethnic interests. I would agree that Jewish Bolsheviks carried on an element of Judeo centric supremacist righteousness.
-- I asked if Jews ran some of the camps of Gulag Archipelago because they harbored deep racial animosity toward the Russian people. I often like to phrase things as questions, and my intent is to get a historical and intellectual conversation started. Yes, they are pointed questions, and my goal is to lead to the conclusions I have reached. More importantly, I want people to question traditional versions of history. It's a very painful process, for me as well as
for others, I am sure. I was shocked and upset to learn that 85% of the Bolshevik/Communist government were actually Jewish, something I did not know because it is not taught in any history class.
How can Hitler be seen as the greatest mass-murderer of all time, when practically next
door, people like Trotsy/Leiba Bronstein, Lazar Kaganovich, and Gengrich Yagoda were running completely amok?.The title of worst mass murderer has many competitors.
What is the solution?
-- I think the best solution would be to discard our "political correctness" standards. We should be able to question any historical or political narrative. That's the first amendment and I think it was created to allow difficult discussions exactly like these. This is the only way we can start to approach the "truth" in history. No group, including Jewish people, should be allowed to control history. In the south, we have not controlled the history of the Civil War and I also think that's a good thing.
Thanks for your time Trevor. I would urge my readers and followers to contact Craig Berlin and to demand that he stop his hate campaign against you at once. I am pretty sure that the tide will change soon. I had an incredible time staying with you and playing music together. However, for the first time I met a musician who was more outspoken than myself. In fact, never before have I had trouble because of the views of one of my band members. This was pretty funny and a very positive dvelopment indeed.
