April 13.
The X-Conference 2009, The Goji Project, Bruno Adopts Too!, The Holy Shroud on
Display in 2010, Vanity Fair magazine, and more…
I attended
last year’s X Conference and had a terrific time! This year, organizer Stephen
Bassett has brought back the Conference’s most appealing speakers. Bassett has
arranged 2 Hours with Coast to Coast AM’s George Noory, talks by, among others,
Dr. Edgar Mitchell, ayahuasca advocate Graham Hancock (pictured), and Dr. Roger
Leir (pictured). There will be a guaranteed lively debate between Bassett and
Col. John Alexander.
I’ve seen
John’s power-point presentation and he is sure to cause a lot of controversy!
Stephen
Bassett is arguably the leading voice in the nation for ending the 61-year
government imposed truth embargo regarding an extraterrestrial presence engaging
the human race and the planet Earth.
He is a
political activist, lobbyist, commentator, columnist and conference producer. He
is the founder of the Paradigm Research Group, the Executive Director of the
Extraterrestrial Phenomena Political Action Committee (X-PPACM),
the creator of the Paradigm Clock and the executive producer of the
X-Conference.
He is the
premier spokesperson of the implications of "Disclosure" - the formal
acknowledgement of the ET presence by the governments of the world.

I
first heard about goji berry juice last year when Rolling Stone Mick Jagger was
reportedly so desperate to have a baby with his long-term girlfriend, 6 ft 2in
tall designer L'Wren Scott, 41, (dubbed “The Lion Tamer”) that he completely
changed his diet. The then 64-year-old musician incorporated large quantities of
avocados -which Aztec people believed improve men's sex lives and prowess - into
his diet, and drank a glass of goji berry juice - dubbed 'Fruit Viagra' - every
day. The expensive Himalayan berries - one litre of the juice can cost up to $45
- are reputed to contain life-enhancing properties. As of this writing, L’Wren
is still not married to Sir Mick or pregnant.
The viagra-effect
has absolutely nothing to do with my friend Lynn Nicholson’s goji project with
his significant other, Lee Ann. Currently in Bella Vista, California, they are
planting and growing 25,000 goji berry plants. Lynn emailed me their progress so
far:
“A
germination greenhouse was built first for the seeds, which are now breaking the
surface and should be ready for transplanting to one gallon pots in about 2
weeks. Then, 14,000 square feet of pasture were leveled and flattened with a
roller, and covered with weed control fabric. This is where the 25,000 pots are
being placed. Sprinkler coverage was calculated, and the sprinklers installed,
including a couple of auxiliary rows to compensate for wind variables.” Good
luck for a successful crop! Email Lynn for more information and updates:

The new
movie from Borat phenomenon, Sacha Baron Cohen, is called
Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual
Males Visibly Uncomfortable in the Presence of a Gay Foreigner in a Mesh T-Shirt.
The movie tells the story of an outrageous gay Austrian fashion correspondent
hoping to make it big in Hollywood. And one scene is sure to infuriate movie
star Angelina Jolie and icon Madonna - with Baron Cohen taking a swipe at both
stars over their adoption of foreign children. The actor collects an African
baby out of a box on an airport baggage carousel before turning to the camera
and saying, "Angelina's got one, Madonna's got one, now Bruno's got one."
Madonna adopted Malawian child David Banda in 2006 while Jolie has three adopted
children from varying countries.
With
“Angels & Demons” opening in the next few months, The Vatican has started a
positive PR campaign. Let’s hope they show off the Ark of the Covenant.
The
controversial Holy Shroud has a secretive provenance. It simply vanished from
history for 100 years.
The
Vatican announced that the mystery of the relic’s missing years has been solved.
Medieval knights hid and secretly venerated The Holy Shroud of Turin for more
than 100 years after the Crusades.
The
Knights Templar, an order which was suppressed and disbanded for alleged heresy,
took care of the linen cloth, which bears the image of a man with a beard, long
hair and the wounds of crucifixion, according to Vatican researchers.
The
Shroud, which is kept in the royal chapel of Turin Cathedral, has long been
revered as the shroud in which Jesus was buried, although the image only
appeared clearly in 1898 when a photographer developed a negative.
Barbara
Frale, a researcher in the Vatican Secret Archives, said the Shroud had
disappeared in the sack of Constantinople in 1204 during the Fourth Crusade, and
did not surface again until the middle of the fourteenth century.
The
Knights Templar had rescued it to ensure that it did not fall into the hands of
heretical groups such as the Cathars, who claimed that Christ did not have a
true human body, only the appearance of a man, and could therefore not have died
on the Cross and been resurrected.
Radiocarbon
dating tests on the Turin Shroud in 1988 indicated that it was a medieval fake.
This had been challenged on the grounds that the dated sample was taken from an
area of the Shroud mended after a fire in the Middle Ages and not a part of the
original cloth.
Holy See
property since 1983, the Shroud was last publicly exhibited in 2000, and is due
to go on show again next year.
National
Geographic Channel ran a program called “Da Vinci’s Shroud” that strongly put
forth the theory that Leonardo Da Vinci created the shroud using the camera
obscura and used his own face on both the shroud and Mona Lisa!
I
absolutely see a resemblance with Mona Lisa.
While the
scientific world is hell-bent on proving the Holy Shroud is a fake, no one has
bothered questioning other hallowed relics. In the Topkapi Palace Museum
Division of Sacred Relics in Istanbul, Turkey, I viewed the impressive, dazzling
collection. They have Moses’ staff (the one that bested the Pharaoh’s magicians
and parted the Red Sea), a cooking vessel of the prophet Abraham, King David’s
sword, Joseph’s turban, and John the Baptist’s skull and arm!
Model
Gisele Bundchen is on the cover of the new issue of Vanity Fair magazine and the
article has caused a fury with Gisele talking about her new husband, Tom Brady,
and her maternal love for his son. It is a glory-filled tribute to “the most
beautiful woman in the world” with gorgeous photos.
However, I
recall a different view of Gisele from Vogue UK in 2005:
“John
Casablancas stands by his claim that Gisele Bundchen is a "monster of
selfishness". The model man, who founded Elite Models 34 years ago before
retiring to Brazil five years ago and being tempted back into the business by
its new owner, Eddie Trump, in January, is clearly still angry with the model
who he is credited with discovering when she was 14-years-old.
"When I
criticise Saint Gisele it is only to put things on the right perspective," he
told the Brazilian paper O Globo. "She behaved badly with people who made
everything for her. There are those people who are humble and keep that in mind,
and others who pretend they were born superstars." Casablancas, who tore into
the 24-year-old model when she defected from Elite to IMG in 2000, also once
famously branded Heidi Klum a "German sausage".”
