John Hoefle has been Executive Intelligence Review's banking columnist since 1989. For the previous six years he worked out of EIR's Houston bureau, where he wrote a major exposé of dirty money side of the Bush family operations, including James Baker III.Today, Mr. Hoefle resides in Leesburg, Virginia.
Mr. Hoefle's 1993 exposé of the $12 trillion off-balance sheets liabilities of U.S. banks was so startling, that Rep. Henry Gonzalez (D-Texas) included it in the Congressional Record. Thereafter, Representative Gonzalez invited Hoefle to testify before the House Banking Committee on Sept. 8, 1993 on the secret financial accords of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Hoefle's articles have also appeared in the Barbados Advocate.
In 1996, Mr. Hoefle authored an in-depth financial profile of "The Names" grouping tied to Lloyds of London, and their involvement in the United States, the accuracy of which amazed even Lloyds' lawyers. In September 1997, Hoefle published a devastating picture of how legalized gambling has subverted the U.S. economy. More broadly, he has followed, in detail, the hyper-inflation of the derivatives markets over the last five years and given many public lectures on this subject.
Fred Matser is an inspiring humanitarian who, like many others, cares deeply about the future of the planet. He has made it his life’s work to contribute towards creating a more functional society by means of inspiration and empowerment. Towards this end he has been a (co-) initiator, (co-) creator and (co-) financier on a wide range of projects and 19 foundations in both The Netherlands and abroad since 1983. The projects as well as the foundations cover the fields of healthcare, environment, conservation, peace and global transformation.
Born into a Dutch family of modest means and raised within the frugal post-war environment, he later went on to head one of the, at that time, largest independent real estate development companies in the Netherlands and later on to devote large sums of money to charitable projects both at home and abroad.
He volunteered for the League of Red Cross and Red Crescent Organizations (now Federation) in Switzerland where he ran the Child Alive Program. Its goal was to help and educate people on the grassroot level in developing countries on how to reduce child mortality due to the dehydration from diarrhoea.
Matser experienced tragedy at a young age with the infant death of an older brother, later the death of his younger brother and the long-term serious illness of his father, who suffered from diabetes and Parkinson’s disease. These experiences, amongst others, led him to develop a strong sense of compassion and awareness of the suffering of others.
Matser had responsibility and leadership thrust on him from an early age. When only in his mid-twenties he was already responsible for a staff of over 150 and a multi-million pound turnover, having been appointed Chief Executive Officer of his fathers’ real estate development company and supervising subsidiaries. He was also appointed to leadership roles in various other business and sport associations both nationally and internationally and did studies in economics and business management, as well as in parapsychology.
In his 30’s he had some unexpected paranormal and transcendental experiences, triggered by encounters with Uri Geller and others. These included a profound experience of ‘Oneness’ with God, an awareness of the paranormal abilities inherent in everyone and the letting go of fear. These experiences expanded his awareness and produced a dramatic shift in his worldview and beyond. From that point on he has devoted much of his time to increasing his understanding about life and to contributing towards the betterment of society. Matser is a keen communicator and creative thinker. In his real estate development work he and his team have created a number of unique, innovative, large-scale projects that have been widely acclaimed. In his humanitarian work he has initiated or contributed to a number of significant and original humanitarian projects including Peace Child, Child Alive Program for Red Cross, Fred Foundation, StartFund, Malaria No More and The Twinkling Eyes Club.
On several projects he has had the privilege of working in close association with many inspiring people including several well-known people, such as Mikhail Gorbachev, Ruud Lubbers, Patch Adams, Jerry Jampolsky and Jane Goodall. He served on the board of the Jane Goodall Institute from 1998 untill 2012. He has also participated in various international events for global transformation including the State of the World Forum and in September ´06 in the table of free voices in Berlin, an initiative of Dropping Knowledge.
From 2007 till 2011, Fred headed the Dutch campaign for 'Malaria No More. ' Some of the campaign’s goals are to supply 'bed nets' (mosquito nets for beds) to help eliminate malaria in a sustainable way and to contribute to creation of consciousness around malaria within the context of primary healthcare.
Matser is married and has three daughters from his first marriage and a step- daughter from his second. He lives in the Netherlands and now devotes most of his time to humanitarian projects.
For his work, Fred Matser has received several awards including the first international Caring Award in Washington, USA in 1992, which was later awarded to individuals such as Mother Teresa and Jane Goodall. He also received the Van Emden Award in The Hague, The Netherlands in 1995.

NEIL FREER is a generalist, futant, futurist, lecturer, author, poet, contributor to the Arlington Institute think tank; advisory board member of the exopolitics institute. He is currently working with C.B. Scott Jones on his Plan C for the academic world. Neil and his wife, Ursula, have lived in the Eldorado area since 1994. Neil holds a BA in English and did his graduate work in Philosophy and Psychology at the New School for Social Research. He has taught college courses in Philosophy and History of Religion, gives private and public seminars and lectures and has done over three hundred radio and TV interviews.
Neil is the author of Breaking the Godspell, '87, which explores the archaeological, astronomical and genetic proof for our being a genetically engineered species and presents the ramifications of this new paradigm of human nature that resolves the Creationist-Evolutionary conflict.
In his second book, God-Games: What Do You Do Forever? he explores the ways in which we will live when, individually and collectively, we attain the unassailable integrity afforded by the restoration of our true, part alien genetic history. He outlines the racial maturity of the new planetary civilization and describes the new human. Website: http://www.neilfreer.com
Neil published a third book last year, Sapiens Rising: The View From 2100, through Amazon on Kindle (only, no paper, no trees falling). and it is already in the hands of Michelle and Barack Obama, M Gorbachev, C.B. Scott Jones , John Petersen of the Arlington Institute, the Dalai Lama, Pope Benedict, Klaus Schwab (of Davos), Presidents Clinton, Carter, Charlie Rose, Bill Moyers, among others.
Neil was invited keynote speaker in February 2010 at the International UFO Congress. His presentation was advertised as
Sapiens Rising to Cosmic Citizenship: The Script for a Stellar Species Performance.
As a philosopher, futurist, futant, contactee and generic human, Neil says: We are already into a profound transmutation which will characterize this 21st as our species Century of Transformation. We are being invited into stellar society and have the keys to integrate our past and present as the new humans and meet the conditions for acceptance. Let us reclaim our planetary identity and dignity, our part-alien cosmic credentials, and prepare to matriculate into the heavens, into stellar society as, finally, Sapiens Sapiens, the truly doubly wise. There are dangers but let us face them together. I stand to speak for all of us, a young but wise species, to urge us all to make it so for our children.
Clark Garen, The Legal Eagle Behind "NITEBITES TV"
As a practicing attorney as well as a talk show host, Clark Garen brings unique perspectives to the events of the day, weaving in wit, legal expertise, and opinions that resist the easy Right or Left categories and strive for common sense. It's not Brainwash Television or Ambush Television--its television that lulls the viewer into thinking they are being entertained while they are really being stimulated to think!"
With 38 years of legal experience, a two year stint as an elementary school teacher, five years as a real estate developer, 12 years as a 900 telephone number information provider, 38 years in the collection agency business, and two and a half years hosting "Think Radio with Clark Garen", Clark can address a wide range of topics, including:
Current Events and Politics Legal Proceedings in the News Drug Laws Civil Rights Violations Bankruptcy Business and Anti-Trust Law Tort Reform Product Liability |
Constitution and Government Divorce and Child Custody Collection Agencies Consumer Debt Landlord and Tenant Problems Tax Law Estate Planning Unfair Business Practices |
"Nitebites with Clark Garen" addresses a wide range of topics from the timely to the timeless. As Clark explains, "My interesting guests are individuals who risked their lives and their careers for what they believed in. People like Jocelyn Elders, who journeyed from poverty to become a prominent physician, but who refused to accept a the political position of Surgeon General until she was given a leave of absence from her teaching position so that she would be able to tell the truth without having to worry about paying the price of unemployment; John Lewis, who was one of the leaders who started the Civil Rights movement in the early 1960's by implementing Ghandi's form of non-violent protest; Author Clive Cussler, who had a difficult time in school because he was always looking out the window and dreaming of adventure, and later quit his job as a successful advertising executive to create superhero Dirk Pitt and "Raise the Titanic" while Jim Cameron was still preoccupied with even Alien space creatures; and Michelle Bell, an economically challenged black high school student in Fresno, California who was taught to sing by a dedicated public school teacher who gave him free voice lessons every day before school, and who was later able to repay this teacher by flying him to New York, New York to see him open on Broadway playing the role of "Joe" in Harold Price's revival of "Showboat".
It's no surprise that Clark finds these people interesting--in his legal practice, he relishes cases that emphasize the rights of the individual. "It might be unfashionable now", Clark explains, "but I've always admired Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren, who dedicated his life to government service instead of the pursuit of money and power, and who understood that the primary purpose of the Courts was to protect every individual from oppression from any source, and especially from the Government." As Clark notes, this philosophy sometimes puts him at odds with the trends of the day. "In fact, I've taken that thinking to the point where in divorce cases, I enjoy helping couples to either stay together or separate with dignity, instead of acting like a parasite by feeding my anger to generate more work and income for my law firm."

Author, social critic, and political activist Naomi Wolf raises awareness of the pervasive inequities that exist in society and politics. She encourages people to take charge of their lives, voice their concerns and enact change.
Wolf’s landmark international bestseller, The Beauty Myth, challenged the cosmetics industry and the marketing of unrealistic standards of beauty, launching a new wave of feminism in the early 1990s. The New York Times called it one of the most important books of the 20th century. Her next book, Vagina: A Cultural History, will be released in 2012.
Wolf’s New York Times bestseller, The End of America: A Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot, is an impassioned call to return to the aspirations and beliefs of the Founders’ ideals of liberty. The New York Times called the documentary version “pointedly inflammatory.” Her latest book, Give Me Liberty: A Handbook For American Revolutionaries, includes effective tools for citizens to promote civic engagement and create sustainable democracy.
Her international journalism includes the investigative report “Guantánamo Bay: The Inside Story” for The Times of London, and as a columnist for Project Syndicate her articles have been published in India, Philippines, Egypt, and Lebanon.

Russell Means has lived a life like few others in this century - revered for his selfless accomplishments and remarkable bravery. He was born into a society and guided by way of life that gently denies the self in order to promote the survival and betterment of family and community. His culture is driven by tradition, which at once links the past to the present.
The L.A. Times has called him the most famous American Indian since Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse. His indomitable sense of pride and leadership has become embedded in our national character. Today, his path has brought him to Hollywood, thus enabling him to use different means to communicate his vital truths. Through the power of media, his vision is to create peaceful and positive images celebrating the magic and mystery of his American Indian heritage. In contemplating the fundamental issues about the world in which we live, he is committed to educating all people about our most crucial battle - the preservation of the earth.
Thirty years ago, reflecting the consciousness of the sixties, he captured national attention when he led the 71-day armed takeover on the sacred grounds of Wounded Knee, a tiny hamlet in the heart of South Dakota's Pine Ridge Reservation. Means joined The Longest Walk in 1978 to protest a new tide of anti-Indian legislation including the forced sterilization of Indian women. Following the walk, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution saying that national policy was to protect the rights of Indians, to believe, express and exercise their traditional religions, including but not limited to access to sites, use and possession of sacred objects, and the freedom to worship through ceremonials and traditional rites.
Today, with the same passionate determination, he has directed his energy towards the entertainment industry. In a record period of time, this famed political activist and early leader of the American Indian Movement (AIM) has become immersed in all five corners of the business, with projects including: Lead roles in major feature films, (The Last of the Mohicans, Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers, as a chief in John Candy's comedy Wagons East and as the ghost of Jim Thorpe in Wind Runner); Disney's third highest ever selling video (Pocahantas) in which he was the voice of Pocahontas' father, a television documentary for HBO (Paha Sapa), (Indian Father and Son) a pilot he created; Two albums of protest music with lyrics he wrote (Electric Warrior and The Radical). On the technological side, he stars in a CD-ROM (Under A Killing Moon). The website features information regarding the A.I.M. club, his recordings via the American Indian Music Company, his art, book, current events, biography and upcoming appearances and direct e-mail to Russell. Born on South Dakota's Pine Ridge Reservation in 1939, Russell Means is the eldest son of Hank Means, an Oglala Sioux, and Theodora (Feather) Means, a full-blooded Yankton Sioux. Shortly after the outbreak of WWII, his family moved to California, where he graduated from San Leandro High in 1958 and continued his formal education at Oakland City College and Arizona State.
Russell's commitment to uplift the plight of his people escalated when he served as director of Cleveland's American Indian Center. It was there he met Dennis Banks, co-founder of the American Indian Movement, and embarked upon a relationship that would rocket them both into national prominence. During this period, Russell staged numerous events designed to bring dignity to the American Indian. His most famous act of defiance, however, occurred at Wounded Knee on February 27, 1973. Responding to the numerous murders perpetrated by puppet tribal governments and the extreme conditions of oppression, the takeover at Wounded Knee revisited the sight of the American Indian massacre at the hands of U.S. soldiers in 1890. Ever vigilant for his cause, Russell has been lauded by the international community for his tireless efforts.
Russell splits his time between San Jose, NM, his ranch on the Pine Ridge Sioux Indian reservation, Porcupine, SD and his office in Santa Monica, CA. He takes pride in having instituted programs for the betterment of his people: notable, the Porcupine Health Clinic (the only non government funded clinic in Indian Country) and KILI radio, the first Indian owned radio station. Today, one of his principle goals is the establishment of a Total Immersion School, which is based on a concept created by the Maori people of New Zealand, where children are immersed in the language, culture, science, music and storytelling of their own people. Russell will adapt this total immersion concept to the Indian way of life and philosophy which is taught from a perspective that will nurture a new generation of proud children educated in the context of their own heritage.
Russell Means has devoted his life to eliminating racism of any kind, and in so doing he leaves a historical imprint as the most revolutionary Indian leader of the late twentieth century. An inspirational visionary, Russell Means remains one of the most magnetic voices in America today. Whether leading a protest, fighting for constitutional rights, starring in a motion picture, or performing his rap-ajo music, the message he delvers is consistent with the philosophy he lives by, which states:
The Universe which controls all life, has a female and male balance that is prevalent throughout our Sacred Grandmother, the Earth.
This balance has to be acknowledged and become the determining factor in all of one's decisions, be they spiritual, social, healthful, educational or economical.
Once the balance has become an integral part of one's life, all planning, research, direct action and follow-up becomes a matter of course. The goals that were targeted become a reality on a consistent basis. Good things happen to good People; remember time is on your side.

Georg Breckmann is a writer and long-time paranormal researcher. A series of personal experiences compelled him to investigate Contact from other intelligent beings with humanity and what it means.
Breckmann has worked in many fields, been a store detective, an insurance investigator, a printmaker, special education teacher, martial arts instructor, and magazine editor. "If there was one constant in all the jobs I held, it was being a careful, critical observer and reporting what I found," he writes.
Seeking, as we all do, meaning in life, he practiced Zen, attended Wiccan, and Odinic rites, and eventually entered Berendr training with traditional shamans from the North.

Magenta Pixie was born in Staffordshire in 1965 at her maternal Grandparents home. Her parents lived in Islington London where Pixie spent her early childhood.
Pixie parents were in the theatre at the time of her birth; her Father was an Opera Singer and her Mother, a Ballet Dancer.
Pixie grew up around the theatre and decided at an early age that she would follow in their footsteps.
She was an early talker and an early reader and at the age of seven was reading several Enid Blyton novels per week, living in a world of fairies, pixies, gnomes and magic.
Pixie had several “imaginary friends” whom she would speak with all the time.
Pixie met her husband at the age of seventeen, married at nineteen and had her first baby at twenty.
Unusual, esoteric and supernatural events occurred throughout the ten years of Pixie’s marriage such as out of body experiences, having visions, hearing voices, seeing people & beings & knowing things before they happened.
After ten years of marriage, Pixie and her husband divorced and she moved into a ixie then began strict daily meditations and followed the instructions in the book on meeting your guide. It was several weeks before Pixie started to communicate with beings in meditation and eventually she met her Spirit Guide who introduced himself as “White Spirit” and presented in the form of a Zulu Warrior.
Pixie remained in contact with White Spirit throughout her life and in the year 2003 White Spirit evolved into a sixth density White Winged Angelic being. Not long after that the White Winged being separated themselves into Nine identical beings…..each one with the ability to come forward separately yet they were a collective consciousness. Hence the White Winged Collective Consciousness of Nine came into Pixie’s reality.
