Grey Wolf Walk for Freedom!

Air Force Veteran walking across America against govt overreach

He goes by the name Grey Wolf as that is his trucking business name.

If you are willing to speak to him I am including his email or you can contact me.

He is not getting the media coverage from the MSM so we are getting some from local towns he travels through, but not enough, we need country wide coverage and that is why I am contacting you, I feel you can give him that coverage.

He first started with The Peoples Convoy and when he met with Senators Ted Cruz and Ron Johnson in DC, he ask Ted Cruz what was needed to get things done and he replied, we need people, they need to be involved. So When the TPC broke up, Ron decided to do the walk and meet people along the way. He is very knowledgeable in the constitution, and the ways of the political world, but he is non partisan, he feels that All Americans need to be awakened and see what is going on around them. He informs and tells it it like it is.

He has a youtube, and Rumble live stream and another website https://www.patriotroster.com for your review.

He is 62 years old and as I said an Air Force Veteran. He is followed by a 1967 Beechwood RV as a support vehicle.

I am one of his Admins who does his logistics and phone calls and also one of his mods on the chats. I have known him since February.

All I can tell you is this in a nut shell, he loves this country and fighting like hell to get it back and out of the hands of destructive people in the white house and congress. He is humble and is saddens him that people are not waking up. So he is doing all he can to change that.

So I hope I have given you enough. I am also attaching a pony express flyer to show what he intends to do with the letters he collects along the way.

Thank you for your time and I will be awaiting your reply

Sincerely,

Donna Prue--Admin for Ron Coleman

Words of the day “Government Overreach”!

Our Constitutional Freedoms are being eroded right before our eyes 

“We The People” are the answer to stopping THEM from taking them away

Let’s show THEM who they really work for

“WE” need to take our country back

You pitch: Despite lots of money being spent and hard work by many people in the developed world, today more than half of the children in the world get little to no education and, in Africa, this number is about 80%. And, we believe we cannot end poverty until every child in the world gets at least a high school education. So, here at the Weiss Scholarship Foundation we have built an holistic business model that can create a world where every child gets a great education which is how we end poverty.

Already in Kenya we have awarded 141 scholarships. Already we have four university graduates and eight vocational school graduates. We also have one of our students who is at Elmhurst University in Elmhurst, IL. We support children through high school and then on to either University or Vocational School. We do this through our holistic business model that recognizes children need much more than having their school fees paid. This is why we have seven staff people on the ground who are totally engaged in the lives of our children to make sure we are doing everything possible to help our children be successful.

We started in one community in 2012 and now we have scaled our holistic business model to four communities. We have proven the quality of our model and that we can scale it. Additional resources will allow us to scale even more.

We look for donors of all kinds. We send children to four years of boarding high schools for only $3,500 which covers all expenses for all four years. This is $3 per day. So, we welcome all donations from a few dollars to many thousands of dollars. Donors have the opportunity to support a student on their own for all four years of high school with a $3,500 donation.

We ask people to picture a world with no poverty. This is our goal.

Biography: Brett Weiss spent eighteen years as a high school social studies teacher and twenty-five years in software sales. He made a volunteer trip to Kenya in 2009 that dramatically changed his life. He was able to get to know people who are among the poorest in the world and whose children were getting little to no education. Yet, they were incredibly kind and hard-working people who just wanted a chance for their children to have a better life. This led to the creation of the Weiss Scholarship Foundation.

Brett and his wife Chris have two adult children and three grandchildren.

Today we are speaking with Lee Carroll and Monika Muranyi who work together as part of a joint mission to share the messages and teachings of Kryon’s wisdom. Lee’s relationship with Kryon began in 1989 when he experienced a profound loving energy that awakened him to an understanding that God was bigger than anything he was ever told. Since then, Lee has produced fourteen Kryon books, and was the co-author of three Indigo Children books. These Indigo books introduced the world to the term “Indigo Children” in 2000, spawning many follow-up books by various authors, a movie, a documentary, and lots of interest worldwide regarding our changing kids! The Indigo books have sold almost half a million copies world-wide in twenty-three languages. Lee is the original channel for Kryon and his service to humanity as a channel for Kryon has been recognized by the Delphi Metaphysical University who awarded him an honorary doctorate degree of Science, Transpersonal Psychology, & Metaphysics. In addition, Lee Carroll has been listed as one of the “100 most spiritually influential living people” by the prestigious WATKINS “Mind, Body, Spirit” magazine from the UK for over six consecutive years. In 2012 Monika Muranyi began her journey with Lee when she launched her first published book, The Gaia Effect. Monika went on to publish three more subject-driven books from the vast collection of Kryon channels. As a result, she has masterfully helped tie together the complex subject of who we are and why we are here. Throughout her books, Monika has posed dozens of questions to Kryon that provide us with greater understandings and new realizations about our esoteric truths. Their partnership in the Kryon work has resulted in the creation of three beautifully illustrated oracle card decks, two Kryon Apps for the smart phone, and a weekly online gathering of old souls who participate in the Healing Wednesday program.

My Values: Family, Hard Work, Honesty, Community, and Fiscal Responsibility.

Growing Up: I was born and raised in Eads, CO. My parents, Henry “Burrel” and Ruby, were from farming families and longtime residents of the area. I have an older brother, Ken. My father was a barber by trade and operated Burrel’s Barber Shop after serving overseas in World War II. He semi-retired from his shop and worked for the local Draft Board until fully retiring in 1986. My mother worked in the office of the local Eads hospital for over 30 years until 1987. Following retirement, they moved to Fairplay to help my wife, Lillian, and I raise our children.

My father and two of his brothers (one older, one younger) each married one of the three Buck sisters!

My First Job: When I was 12, I began working at the local flower and gift shop owned by my aunt and uncle. Frequently, we worked into the night getting flowers ready for weddings or funerals. This is where I learned the work ethic that I still carry with me today. They later opened Wissel Dry Goods where I worked through high school until leaving for college in 1974.

College: I left for college in the fall of 1974 and attended Southern Colorado State College in Pueblo, and attended one year.  I was a music major with a minor in Business Administration. I loved band.

Love for Music: I am a drummer to the core; playing music is my passion. In fact, I played rock ‘n’ roll with my brother from age 12 through today! He plays bass guitar. Our dad used to drive us to and from gigs around southeastern Colorado when we were starting out. Music was always important in our family. My father loved music – he played trumpet and was a member of our church choir along with my mother. They always sang for Sunday services. I still enjoy singing hymns at church on Sundays.

As a child, I tried to learn piano, but my teacher couldn’t get me to play softly. I wanted to make noise – not just music! In fifth grade, I switched to drums.

Finding My Forever Home: I moved to Fairplay in the summer of 1979 to play rock ‘n’ roll with my brother Ken who was working for CDOT as a “drift buster.” I needed a day job so I applied for a position at the Park County Assessor’s Office doing administrative work. I was promoted to Deputy Assessor after six months and in October 1980, I was appointed as Assessor. I proudly served in that capacity for 38 years.

My grandfather, Aurelias Barr worked on the Sam Hartsel Ranch in the 1920’s – 30’s with his two brothers. That was the beginning of our family heritage in South Park.

Love of my Life: I met my wife, Lillian, in 1980 while we were both working for Park County – I was Deputy Assessor and she was Administrative Assistant to the Board of County Commissioners. We became fast friends and shortly after getting to know her, I knew she was the one. We were married in May 1982. We have three children together: Brandon, Jennifer and Dominic. Lillian has two sons from a previous marriage, Mark and Jeffery. We have a wonderful, large family that has given us grandchildren, great grandchildren and grand-dogs!

My Hobbies: Playing drums! I was a member of the band Revolver from 1979-2012 . We played classic rock ‘n’ roll all over Park County. I get an opportunity to play every now and then, and I still love it! I also enjoy spending time with my family – we are lucky that our children live in Colorado.  

I also serve on the Board of the Upper South Platte Water Conservancy District (USPWCD) and have been involved with that organization since 1985. I wanted to get involved and give back to the county that had given me so much.

My Philosophy: Lillian and I do not know a stranger. We are regular local folks. We have remained here through these years because we love this place, and the people. I am a good listener - I have to be - since I have hearing loss in my left ear. I was swimming and got an ear infection when I was five. It has taught me to be a very attentive listener.

My Favorites:

• Food - Pork Chops & Rice.

• Sport - All Colorado based teams, college and professional. Love the Broncos, Nuggets, Rockies, and Avalanche. Go CU Buffs!

• Dream Vacation Spot - Colorado - there’s no place like it. Anything with water and camping is always awesome.

• Band - Revolver of course ;) I also love Rush (Neal Perth is my idol as a drummer), Eagles, Doobie Brothers, Eric Clapton, Journey and anything that has that old classic rock feel.

More about “Proof of Spiritual Phenomenon:”

Fully indoctrinated into the cult of science, neuroscientist Mona Sobhani, Ph.D., aggressively defended the dogma of scientific beliefs—until a series of life-altering events caused her to reconsider spirituality and psi concepts and launched her into a two-year investigation into the ineffable mysteries of our world.

Sharing the extensive research she discovered on past lives, karma, and the complex interactions of mind and matter, the author details her transformation from diehard materialist to open-minded spiritual seeker. She reveals her conversations about spirituality and anomalous occurrences with scientific colleagues as well as high-level experts and government officials who shared data on extremely sophisticated experiments that provided proof for the existence of psi phenomena. She discovered that psi research has been conducted on a grand scale for more than a century—by hundreds of scientists with hundreds of thousands of participants—and that there exists substantial evidence for the reality of psi. She examines meta-analysis of these experiments, such as that of the Ganzfield tests, which showed odds against chance of 12 billion to 1—throwing our current scientific materialist paradigm into question.

Providing a deep dive into the literature of psychology, quantum physics, neuroscience, philosophy, and esoteric texts, Sobhani also explores the relationship between psi phenomena, the transcendence of space and time, and spirituality. Culminating with the author’s serious reckoning with one of the foundational principles of neuroscience—scientific materialism—this illuminating book shows that the mysteries of human experience go far beyond what the present scientific paradigm can comprehend.

Raising funds and awareness for cancer research and care while sharing stories of emotion and inspiration.

This array of human experiences will help readers to grow in empathy and better understand how issues like suicide, abandonment, loss, survivor guilt, abuse, fertility, and more, affect the way people deal with the traumas that shape their lives, cancer, or otherwise.

• LIFE WISDOM WITHIN EACH PAGE: Readers of Cycle of Lives will be better equipped to deal with trauma, be there for the people around them, and feel more supported in starting hard conversations.

100% of the net proceeds from the book are donated to the cancer-focused charities as chosen by the book participants
