Edward Jones

Author – A New Consciousness Born

Basima Farhat is the host.

In the past, the show aired on April 27, 2010. Please tune in!

In 1979, Edward Jones experienced what he refers to as “self-transformation” as a result of his own mortality. It’s been theorised it was a death of the mind. It’s possible that if you lose the ability to walk and talk or think; but you return to consciousness; then you’ve experienced death. Psychological death is felt in the same way as physical death, as you’ll discover when you get there.

A new life was born after Edward’s death, like the phoenix, from of the ashes if his former one. He came to understand that it was a nonviolent state of mind. We are on the verge of a catastrophe because of our own violent behaviour. The question we must ask ourselves is whether or not we will transform our life or if we will self-destruct. His life’s work has been to reach out to the people who are really examining the possibilities we face.

Our lives can be transformed and this new awareness can be manifested on Earth in Edward’s latest book, A Latest Consciousness Born.

A New Consciousness Born’s Introduction:

Apocalypse appears imminent for humanity. If you’re concerned about the state of the world, you might want to check out Edward Jones’ message. However, a cautionary tale is in order. Although Edward’s language is direct and blunt, it can jar some readers because it strikes at the core of their egos, which is where many people are most easily hurt. We can’t hear anything that contradicts our own images and views if we don’t break through the ego’s walls, according to Edward.

When Edward’s life fell apart, he learnt to talk from the perspective of someone else. That’s the single most essential component in his metamorphosis, yet nothing could have prepare him for what he encountered on that fateful day in 1979. A life with failures came to an end for Edward Jones on Nov 19, 1979, when he underwent a radical shift in his perception of reality. He had never heard of anything like that till it happened. In no way could he have predicted the shape it would take.

To an outsider, Edward’s incident may have appeared to be a brief period of craziness, but when he broke free of mankind, it helped him gain insight. He screamed and convulsed for hours on his bed just like every belief he held dear was shattered. Unfathomable powers clashed in his head, as if struck by lightning from within. A brand-new reality developed after the devastation of the cataclysmic event.

In the end, he was completely different from the person he had been and. Edward only could say that he would have passed away after the transformation. A new consciousness were born as a result of that death.

Before, Edward’s life had been filled with suffering, but now he lived in exuberant joy. He no longer felt the sting of pain, and he was no longer driven by fear. It was as if death had lost its allure. Every moment has the potential to be a source of joy. For years, it appeared as if there were no words to describe what had happened, but he has worked relentlessly over the years to try to articulate and explain the impossible.

However, Edward tells readers everything he did was bring forth a higher mind, which he claims is the first development of consciousness ever. As long as he continues to stress that his actions are not a process, he will have succeeded in removing the virus of violence in my old, conditioned brain. It would be a seismic shift in the world’s trajectory if self-transformation could take hold and reach critical mass.

Edward’s down-to-earth demeanour doesn’t make him a wise man in a world full of slick gurus and pundits. He dismisses the idea that he is a teacher. He freely admits that he is neither well-educated nor well-versed. He can and often does make mistakes, but unlike most of us, he has no qualms about admitting that he went off the rails and taking a new path.

The mystical teachings of Advaita Vedanta, Zen Buddhism, and more have been compared to Edward’s statements by some. This is not something he supports. Instead, he believes that genuine change can only occur when people are able to perceive the truth for what it truly is.

The investing firm that bears the name of Edward Jones is not affiliated with him in any way. Fried chicken from a well-known brand was the key to his financial success (and failure). As his marriage fell apart, he has amassed a wealth of more than a million dollars in the preceding years. However, in retrospect, he sees his inability to succeed at anything as nothing less than a higher sort of accomplishment.

Greta Berlin – Cynthia McKinney – Michael Heart

Greta Berlin: Co-Founder FreeGaza.org

Cynthia McKinney: Former Congresswoman and Presidential Candidate

Michael Heart: Singer/Songwriter

Basima Farhat is the host.

Prior to that date, the show was shown on: January 20, 2009 Please tune in!

“We Will Not Go Down,” a song of Michael Heart that has been viewed more than a quarter like a million times on YouTube in less than two weeks, serves as the show’s opening.

Along with Michael, Greta Berlin – Co-Founder for FreeGaza.org – joins Basima Farhat to talk about her decades of service and organisation on behalf of the Palestinian people, often at her personal danger. Cynthia McKinney, a longtime friend of Greta’s, joins the protests in support of Palestinian rights. I’ve been on both sides of the aisle on Capitol Hill and the SS Destiny, which was slammed either by Israeli Navy before anyone could deliver tonnes of medical supplies, physicians, and journalists to Gaza. I’m a member of Congress on Capitol Hill and a recent passenger just on SS Destiny. Cynthia McKinney, who has lived to tell the tale, uses her storey to raise awareness about the plight of Gaza’s civilians.

Since the early 1960s, GRETA BERLIN was a vocal proponent of fair treatment for Palestinians. A 1948 refugee, her father was born and reared in Safad, Palestine, and is the father of her two Palestinian/American children. For 32 years, she has been training scientists and engineers how to develop and give presentations. She does have a masters degree on Theatre and a bachelor’s in English.

International Solidarity Movement, a Palestinian-led movement which uses nonviolent methods to resist Israeli occupation, has taken her to the West Bank three times (for a total of five months) since 2003. Israeli gunfire wounded Greta and 10 fellow ISM volunteers in July 2003 when they attempted to lower the fence gate at Anin, close outside Jenin. For the most of her career, she has worked with in occupied territories as just a media coordinator for the ISM in Beit Sahour & Ramallah. When she arrived on board her Free Gaza boat, the first international vessel to arrive in the beleaguered Gaza Strip in 41 years, she was one of the movement’s co-founders and a member of the crew. Her publications and interviews can be accessed through GOOGLING. Greta Berlin is a Palestinian woman living in Palestine.

As a result of her experiences in Palestine, she has given lectures throughout the world to universities and organisations about how to campaign for just a people that are oppressed.

According to the website FreeGaza.org:

The Middle East conflict is rooted in the illegal acquisition of Palestinian land, home, and tradition. It has resulted in the world’s greatest ever refugee population. Land theft began in 1967, and ethnic cleansing continues today, with Palestinians living in the West Bank in ghettos and bantustans guarded by sniper towers and military personnel behind 27-foot-high barriers. Gaza has become an open-air jail, housing 1.4 million people who are starving and crammed in like sardines.

Dispossessed and disinherited, Palestinians all across the world now have only the memories of Palestine and their disintegrating property titles to cling to, and an unwavering desire to return home.

Statement of Purpose

We seek to end the Israeli blockade of the Palestinian territory of Gaza. It is our goal to increase international awareness of the Gaza Strip’s prison-like isolation and encourage the international community should reassess its sanctions policy and terminate its backing for continuing Israeli occupation. We support Palestine’s right to welcome visits, human rights investigators, humanitarian assistance workers, journalists, and others from around the world.

What is our identity?

Human rights defenders, charity workers, and journalists make up the vast majority of the group. For years, we’ve been invited by Palestinians to volunteer in West bank and Gaza. We can no longer access Gaza because of Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestine; a growing number of us have also been denied admission into Israel and the West Bank. Despite the overwhelming in need of our job, the Israeli Government would not allow us in to conduct it.

They are from all ages and backgrounds. The people who make up the majority of our team back home include teachers, doctors and nurses; engineers; truck drivers; youth workers; musicians; secretaries; parents; grandparents; lawyers; activists; actors; playwrights; politicians; web designers; and even a former Hollywood movie industry worker, an aviator, and also an explorer. They are Italian, Irish, Canadian, Greek, Tunisian, German, Australian, American, English, Scottish, Danish, Israeli, & Palestinian.

What do we do?

We first breached the siege to Gaza by sea in August 23, 2008, and then again on October 29, 2008. We want to do it again and construct a permanent water route between Cyprus & Gaza.

Unifying Elements

The following principles & behaviours are accepted by all Free Gaza Movement members:

The human rights of all people, regardless of ethnicity, nationality or language, are respected by our organisation. 1.

In accordance with all UN resolutions under international law, the legitimate residents of the territories seized with Israel since June 5, 1967 shall have unhindered access to international waterways and airspace.

As long as the territories have been under Israeli authority since June 5, 1967, the people who live there have the right to restrict all admission & departure to and from those areas.

When it comes to occupied territories, Israel must end its military presence immediately and repeal any laws or regulations that discriminate against certain groups of people living in those areas.

It is imperative that Israel dismantle all barriers erected to obstruct movement in all of the lands it has occupied from June 5, 1967

Right among all Palestinian refugees & exiles to return home; recovery of property; and compensation for destruction, dispossession, or unlawful using such property is recognised by us as a fundamental right of all Palestinians. Individuals alone have the power to negotiate their own freedom of speech, as this is not a group right.

We vow to always speak and act in accordance with the ideals of nonviolence and peaceful resistance.

The name is CYNTHIA MCKINSEY

Ex-Georgia Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney was a fearless advocate for the underdog, never afraid to tell the truth to those in power. In terms of putting Cynthia on 51 ballot lines, Cynthia’s Freedom to a People Committee has been working hard!

We may all learn from her courage in introducing legislation that demonstrated where she stood on moral issues and what she thought our country should be. For this reason, Cynthia proposed legislation following the September 11th, 2001, disaster that would allow survivors of the event’s victims to prosecute those responsible for the violence, and also contribute inside the Victims Compensation Fund. Legislation was introduced to create a national living wage and even to repeal the Military Tribunals Act at the same time. The National Forest Protection & Restoration Act, which had provided much-needed jobs and cash for the restoration & protection of America’s national forests, was a signature environmental bit of law. It was thanks to McKinney’s efforts that the USDA’s disparity study was able to document its treatment of minority farmers. Like many Americans, McKinney had long held Green ideals dear. We are happy to be Greens in McKinney now!

Cynthia: During her time in Congress,

Consistently opposed military and covert intelligence expenditures being increased.

Bills to remove Bush, Cheney and Rice from office have been introduced.

The Code of Conduct for the Arms Trade was introduced, championed, & passed in the U.S. House; it prohibits the sale of arms into known human rights violators;

Legislation to abolish its use of depleted uranium bombs was drafted by him.

extended health benefits to Vietnam War soldiers still suffering from the defoliant Agent Orange’s effects on their health

(b) Brussels Tribunal in Iraq

(c) participation in prosecutions for war crimes in Spain

(d) work with Malaysian Peace Organization for criminalise war

Initiated legislation to eliminate federal subsidies to firms that move their employment abroad.

I AM MICHAEL HEART

Michael Heart comes from a wide range of backgrounds. As a Syrian-born American citizen who was reared in Europe (Switzerland and Austria), the Middle East, and the United States, he has been exposed to a wide variety of musical influences. At the age of ten, he began studying the piano and the guitar. After that, he started experimenting with songwriting and soon after that, he started recording. He relocated to Los Angeles in 1990 and has been working in the local studio circuit as a session guitarist and just a recording engineer for the past 18 years after receiving his audio engineering degree at Full Sail (recording school). Since then, he has worked with artists such as Brandy, Will Smith, Toto, Natalie Cole, The Temptations, Phil Collins, Patty LaBelle, Earth Wind & Fire, Ricky Lee Jones, Jesse McCartney, Hillary Duff, Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Paige, Al Jarreau, K-Ci & Jojo, Deborah Cox, Monica, Taylor Dayne, Keiko Matsui, Steve Nieves, Luis Miguel, and Tarkan. When he collaborated alongside French artists including Calogero (The Charts), Marc Lavoine, and Veronique Sanson in the studio, Michael’s proficiency in French was a huge asset. Producers Rodney Jerkins, Philippe Saisse, and David Foster were also involved in other projects. (Note: Michael was credited as “Annas Allaf” on many of these recordings, which is his true name; Michael Heart is his stage name.) However, despite the fact that much of Michael’s work has been done in the studio, he also has done some touring (most notably in the early 1990s, when he performed along Juan Manuel Canizares and Dire Straits as a Flamenco guitarist). Jango, a smooth jazz band, has also recorded & toured with him in the past.

Aside from working on his own music, Michael is now producing music for other local musicians, largely at his own home studio.

Another song about the dire circumstances of the Palestinians in Gaza was written and recorded by Michael in January 2009. “We won’t go down” is the title of the song.

Professor Steven Jones

Physicist – 911 Truth

Prior airing on Tuesday, Jul 1, 2008 – Please tune in!

Physicist Steven Earl Jones is from United States. Jones’ work in muon-catalyzed fusion was his primary focus for the majority of his professional life. His work just on collapse of the World Trade Center was controversial, and as a result, he was placed in paid administrative leave at Brigham Young University in the fall of 2006. He announced his resignation on October 20th, 2006, via a press release at the time. On September 11, 2001, he says, the World Trade Center were demolished via remote control.

At a BYU session on September 22, 2005, Jones spoke about the World Trade Center towers & World Trade Center 7’s collapse. For example, Jones noted that the collapses occurred at a pace and symmetry that defied the conventional theory of collapse, while also providing evidence for explosive demolition based on reports on molten metal in debris. To investigate the orchestrated demolition idea, he urged more scientific research and the availability of all relevant government data. Within a few days of the session, Jones posted an article titled “Why Would the WTC Buildings Collapse?” to the Physics Department’s website

At BYU, he presented the research twice more, as well as at Idaho State University, Utah Valley State College, the University of Colorado at Boulder & University of Denver, the Utah Academy of Science, Sonoma State College, University of California at Berkeley, and also the University of Texas at Austin.

The content of Jones’ work, as well as its claim to scientific rigour, have sparked debate. When Jones first made his ideas public, the BYU College of Physical and Mathematical Sciences as well as the structural engineering department published comments distancing themselves from his work. Moreover, they voiced reservations about whether Jones’ “hypotheses and interpretations of evidence” had been “submitted in relevant scientific venues that might ensure rigorous scientific peer review.”

Project Suppressed, which tracks media censorship, lists Jones’ 9/11 investigation as one of the most heavily censored stories of 2007.

The American Association for University Professors and also the Foundation of Individual Right to Education blasted the decision to put Jones on paid leave. In the past, both organisations have criticised BYU’s academic freedom record. [31] Despite the fact that he “welcomed the review” and thought it would “urge readers to read his article for themselves,” Jones decided to retire on January 1, 2007, and the review was abandoned.

Numerous interviews and public appearances have been conducted with Jones by well-respected news organisations. [Jones, although urging care in making conclusions, has expressed great certainty about the World Trade Center’s destruction and rogue government agents’ involvement in it.] The neoconservatives inside the White House, he claimed in an interview, had “puppeteered” the attacks to legitimise the occupation on oil-rich Arab countries, raise military expenditures, and enlarge Israel. When reporting on 9/11 conspiracy theories, his name is frequently referenced.

A letter titled “Fourteen Points of Agreement in Official Government Reports just on World Trade Center Destruction” was published inside The Open Civil Engineering Journal in April 2008 by Jones and four other authors who questioned the NIST findings.

Jaime Leigh Jones

Jamie Leigh Jones – Founder of The Jamie Leigh Foundation

It was first aired on January 15, 2008 at 8pm Eastern Time. Please tune in!

The Jamie Leigh Foundation was established by Jamie Leigh Jones, who has accused Halliburton/KBR of drugging and raping her in July 2005 when she was working in Iraq at Camp War Eagle.

As a 19-year-old administrative assistant in Houston, Jamie Leigh Jones began her career with KBR. She was sent to Iraq about a year later. At the Baghdad Green Zone, Jamie claims to have been drugged and raped by a large number of employees, all of whom remain anonymous. After the event, she claims she was kept to the a shipping container only with a bed & denied food, water, & medical forensics by armed guards on orders from her employer KBR.

With the assistance of her father and Texas Representative Ted Poe (R), Jones managed to get in touch with the U.S. State Department. The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad sent agents to retrieve Jones from the custody of the KBR. When the sex assault kit was given over to KBR security, it was found to contain evidence for vaginal and anal rape. Her statement stated that the kit was eventually discovered, but it was lacking a few important components, including images of her bruises. The evidence that she had been raped is still in the kit.

No criminal charges have been filed against the accused attackers. Contractors in Iraq are not subject to the laws of the United States or Iraq. A legal case has been launched by Jones against KBR and its former parent company, Halliburton. She claims that her employment contract mandates private arbitration, and she has requested it. An arbitrator appointed by the corporation would decide the matter in private arbitration, without the presence of a judge or jury.

With her Jamie Leigh Foundation, she constantly seeks justice, educate, enlighten, and provide assistance to other victims.

Jamie Leigh Foundation is a non-profit dedicated to supporting US nationals and legal residents who really are victims of sexual harassment, sexual assault and rape when working overseas with federal contractors, corporations, and government agencies. ” Companies and contractors in other countries should be held responsible for providing safe living and working conditions free from sexual harassment, as well as for limiting the possibility for abuse. When US citizens commit crimes while working abroad, we believe that they deserve to face the consequences of their actions. To help victims, the Jamie Leigh foundation would offer advocacy, information and referrals as well as emotional and material support. It is our goal to eliminate sexual harassment and abuse for all people, regardless of gender, so that they can work without fear or worry.

General William Odom

Prior airing: Monday, Mar 17, 2008 – Please tune in!

As a Soviet Union expert, General Odom gained national notoriety. When working as a military liaison at Potsdam, Germany early during his military career, he got the opportunity to witness Soviet military activity firsthand. During his time at the US embassy in Moscow inside the early 1970s, he toured all of the Soviet Union’s states, and afterwards taught Russian history in West Point, New York.

As soon as he returned to the United States, he went back to teaching Soviet politics at West Point. Odom emphasised the need of military leaders’ education on a regular basis.

Zbigniew Brzezinski’s (Carter’s) conservative national security adviser selected him as his military assistant in 1977. SALT nuclear weapons talks, Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, Iranian hostage crisis, presidential instructions on Persian Gulf situation, terrorism and hijackings, and executive action on telecommunications policy were among the most important topics he dealt with during this time.

Odom served as the Army’s Assistant Chief of Staff for Intelligence from November 2, 1981, until May 12, 1985. President Ronald Reagan appointed him to lead of National Security Agency, a country’s top spy agency, from 1985 until 1988.

Military affairs, intelligence, and foreign relations are all specialties of General Odom’s. He also teaches Russian politics and U.S. national security policies as an assistant professor at Yale and Georgetown Universities.

Since 2005, he has advocated for an immediate removal from Iraq, labelling the War in iraq the largest strategic disaster in U.S. foreign policy history. “This wouldn’t have occured on my watch” when referring to the National Security Agency’s (NSA) warrantless monitoring of international calls.

The Military Intelligence Hall of Fame enlists General Odom.

Debra Sweet

Awaiting the Arrival of National Director World

Previously aired on: June 18, 2008, at 7:00 PM ET Please tune in!

“Drive Out the Bush Regime” national director Debra Sweet heads up the team. For six months following the US invasion in Cambodia, Richard Nixon refuses to speak to the media. It was only to present medals for service & bravery to Young Americans who were “not out protesting” that he finally showed up well before White House press corps. I was 19 years old at the time. I informed them that he would be responsible for the deaths of millions of people of southeast Asia when he presented me with the medal. He became enraged and stormed out of the room, making headlines across the world.

Throughout the United States and around the world, anti-war sentiment had filtered into the Blue Room. Anyone who declares, “The Emperor has no clothes,” like Eartha Kitt or Debra Sweet or Cindy Sheehan, can inspire others to voice and act on what they know to be true. Millions of people throughout the world are ready and willing to act on the ideas that have been presented here.

Debra has been fighting for women’s reproductive rights and against U.S. military action in other nations for the past 40 years. Since the emergence of a Christian fundamentalist tyranny in America, she had studied and opposed it, and she has a strong belief in critical thinking and secular society.

Students at the University of Cincinnati listen to Aiden Delgado speak

During Truth, Lies & Torture: Stories from Iraq, students at the University of Cincinnati were given the opportunity of hearing first-hand stories of abuses perpetrated by U.S. forces in Iraq. Tangeman University Center’s Great Hall was the site of the event on the 24th of January.

Iraqi-American Fedaa Jasim, Iraq War veteran Aidan Delgado, and national coordinator for Vietnam Veterans Against by the War (VVAW) Marty Webster spoke out against the Iraq war, sharing experiences of torture and their thoughts on the present situation in Iraq.

Aidan Delgado, a conscientious objector who was honourably dismissed from the U.S. Army, talked about his time in Iraq as a soldier.

Delgado admitted that the fighting had “corrupted” him and his fellow soldiers.

Delgado saw torture of captives at Abu Ghraib.

A group of detainees demonstrated against the conditions of their confinement centres by chanting and holding placards. Three convicts were killed instantly when the officers opened fire using rubber bullets, Delgado added.

They were living in squalor and filth in sub-zero temperatures, with no clothing or blankets to keep them warm. Delgado claimed that the food supplied to the sick and dying inmates was “decaying food infested with maggots.”

It was Delgado’s opinion that “if only Americans saw this, they never would tolerate this.”

In order to convey his message, Delgado projected images ranging from single limbs through a sergeant holding a skull.

Delgado recalled, “I felt the fighting energy leak out of me.” When I first met her, I was struck by how similar we were.

It wasn’t just abuse that Delgado focused on.

For example, “there are several things to celebrate of,” Delgado said. “We provided Iraqis with food and supplies, and there were charitable acts among the units.”

Webster, Jasim, and Delgado believe the condition in Iraq is being understated.
