My blog friend Dr Elizabeth Mahlou invited me to write guests posts on her blog in Febuary. I did a series ofn prominent Indian christians who touched my life. Here is the concluding post.
Chundra Lela, A Priestess in Search of God
Chundra Lela was born in Nepal in 1840, married at seven, and became a widow when she was nine. Chundra’s father taught her to read Sanskrit and educated her as a Brahmin. When she was thirteen, Chundra began a pilgrimage to worship at India’s four great temples. After the seven years she spent visiting these holy places, Chundra was still not at peace, so she continued to visit holy places and shrines. She tried a variety of spiritual disciplines and served as a guru to other seekers.In her search for God, Chundra Lela endured much suffering and penance. She spent a long time reading and thinking about the holy scriptures. She said, "I felt that for all the outlay of money and time and for all my sufferings I had found nothing soul-satisfying. No knowledge of myself, nor yet of God for a vision of whom I had been willing to endure so much."When Chundra Lela met some Christians, she read Christian scriptures. She compared the Bible with her holy books and made a deep study of them.One day she prayed ,"O Jesus if thou art the true God, grant me a vision of Thyself." She says, "While I was still praying, my little house was full of light and a vision such as I am not able to describe. It was the Mighty and Glorious One. I fell on my face before Him and remained thus, my heart overflowing with joy. Then and there I resolved to become a Christian."Chundra professed faith in Jesus Christ and was baptized. Chundra continued her pilgrimages with a difference: she preached about Jesus. Like Saint Francis of Assisi, Chundra Lela lived by begging. The little she had, she shared.As she began to preach the message of Christ, she faced severe opposition. She was beaten several times. Once, a man approached her with a sword and threatened to cut off her head. She bared her neck and said, "I will go to God, and you will be accountable for your deed." He didn't kill her, and she went on preaching. Later he came to ask her for forgiveness, and she forgave him.Chundra Lela traveled all over India and Nepal, spreading the Gospel of Christ. Many times she would teach for hours without food or drink until people reminded her it was time to take rest and refreshment.Chundra Lela spent her last years living with a disgraced Hindu woman near a road so she could continue to preach to those who passed by. When she grew old, she sat in front of her hut and preached to those passing by. When her final illness took hold of her, her dying words were, "Four bright angels have come to take me to Jesus." Chundra Lela died on November 26, 1907.

President and founder of PJN is Laurie Cardoza-Moore, a native Nashvillian, Israel first propagandist who delights and profits from encouraging Christians to send their children to die in the wars for the criminal racist illegal state of Israel. Some of her anti-American, anti-Christian words are as follows:
With the growing threat of worldwide anti-Semitism, it is time for Christian's to take a stand. Never again, can we allow our Jewish brethren to stand alone. Never again, should they have to defend their right to exist in the land of their inheritance Israel has historical, political, archaeological, and Biblical rights to its land.
Israel and our Jewish brethren are fighting a war for Israel’s very survival. Now, more than ever, Christians must unite to take a stand for Zion’s sake!
Bachmann and Cardoza-Moore are two peas in a zionist pod. Both are anxious for a war with Iran and fulfillment of their death cult philosophies that are the antithesis of true Christianity.
Another speaker at the NRB convention is zionist shill Mike Huckabee who will fit right in with the rest of the warmongers.
Cardoza-Moore had planned a $500 per head fundraiser for Bachmann but canceled as her 'non-profit charity' could be in violation of IRS rules against charities raising funds for political candidates. It's a wonder that AIPAC doesn't lobby against those pesky rules.
Tennessee has enough problems with their own politicians. It's a sad state of affairs that we have to import outsiders to try and create more support for a genocidal nation that spies on, steals from, attacks and kills our own American people and who is taking us to the precipice of World War III.
Faux Christians marching to Zion ..... and wanting to take the rest of us with them. Some would dare to call it treason.

It was no surprise that our esteemed leaders have tried to pin all the blame for the appalling standards of care at Stafford Hospital on the local NHS managers, this was to be expected, the fact that many hospitals around the country are also compromising standards of care in exactly the same manner as a result of the systematic mismanagement of the NHS is not something that Gordon and his
As I reported in yesterday's blog "Judyth Vary Baker: Living in Exile", I received an email stating I was going to die last night--you can see two graphics of the email plus the likely suspect, a FBI informant! It was my webmaster's opinion that my support for Judyth had something to do with it and Judyth seems to agree. This is an email I received from her:
Death threats are part of the campaign. If you are dealing with anything to do with me, sorry to say, this happens.
Today I have found out that my comments in YouTube are being deleted "immediately". I tried four times to put a comment in Nufff's channel thanking him for explaining in his blog how YouTube censor videos, and in each instance it was deleted immediately. Lola, my webmaster, also tried and got the same treatment. And the same thing happened when we tried to reply to a comment to a video that I myself uploaded to my channel last week, see blog "The Growing Influence of the 9/11 Truth Movement: The Media's Response". A comment on the excellent video "Gaza in Plain Language" was also promptly deleted.

And since I can't comment in YouTube, I posted a comment on Nufff's blog:
The U.S. has gone modern and medieval at the same time with its design for a new $1 billion embassy in London. Its new home, which will look like a glass cube sitting on stilts, will include a semicircular moat and bomb-resistant glazing, all in the name of security.
"It meets and exceeds all the security requirements," said U.S. architect James Timberlake, whose Philadelphia-based firm, KieranTimberlake, won the contract to design the building. "We are using elements of landscaping that have been around for centuries and centuries.
"But it's not a fortress," he added. "We are able to use the landscape as a security device. There's no wall and no fences."
There is a lake 100 feet wide and a rolling earth bank that will separate the building from the main road and protect it from would-be bombers. The building will be able to house 1,000 people.
The new embassy is designed to be almost self-sufficient in energy, thanks in part to puffy-looking plastic panels attached to the facade. They will hold photovoltaic cells that can convert sunlight into energy and will also act as sunscreens to prevent overheating. {more}
The five minutes allowed for questioning in congressional committee hearings lets Hillary get off easy as she is asked about the London embassy. No time to talk about that Baghdad embassy.

Judyth Vary Baker, with whom I and others within the JFK community are in contact, has sent Google an email about the outrageous actions to which she has been subjected. A rather substantial number of references to her have been disappearing from the Internet since the History Channel broadcast a documentary, "The Love Affair", about her relationship with Lee Harvey Oswald. Originally shown in 2003, it would be banned along with two other segments, "The Smoking Guns" and "The Guilty Men".
My webmaster, Lola Heavey, like many others, has archived that segment as part of the complete 9-part video documentary series, "The Men Who Killed Kennedy". "The Love Affair" focuses on revealing interviews with Judyth, who was at the time a cancer-research specialist in New Orleans who was also having an extramarital affair with Lee prior to the assassination of JFK. Judyth has substantiated aspects of her story with official records that she worked with Oswald, and others, on a classified project.
"The Men Who Killed Kennedy: The Love Affair"
Anyone who does a Google search for "Judyth Vary Baker" will realize that very little information about her is available on the internet. That was not always the case. Thousands of references have been removed in what appears to be a systematic effort to nullify her as an historical personality. Not even her Wikipedia page has been left standing.
It has the features of a cyber war. Positive posts by her supporters have been erased, while negative ones, especially highly denigrating ones--such as those by David Von Pein, which are particularly nasty--have been left intact.
This covert operation against Judyth is very serious and takes its toll upon her. She is now 66 years of age and has been forced to live in exile in Europe, where she resides in virtual poverty, even though she is a talented artist who has sold her paintings around the world for more than thirty years. The objective of this campaign appears to be to minimize awareness of her existence as a link to the alleged assassin.
Debbee Reynolds and Judyth, 2003, Dallas
If anybody has doubts on what Google can do with its search facilities, they should read NufffRespect Blog. NufffRespect, who runs a YouTube channel with 73,429 subscribers, has explained that significant censorship is taking place in relation to YouTube. Indeed, the evidence strongly suggests that YouTube, which is a branch of Google, is deliberately stopping the counters at 300 views to control information about which videos are most popular and which are not.
How does YouTube know which videos should be suppressed when there are so many uploaded every minute? According to NufffRespect, all the processing is carried out automatically by algorithms that search through video titles, descriptions, and tags to find specific keywords YouTube deems to be "controversial". And a search can also be conducted through the audio of videos themselves in order to screen for controversial subjects.
Judyth Vary Baker: Living in Exile
Based upon my interactions with Judyth, I and several others within the JFK research community, including Jim Marrs, the author of CROSSFIRE (1989), one of the bases of Oliver Stone's "JFK", are convinced that she is "the real deal". In protest of this form of abuse, which clearly violates the principles of freedom of speech and of freedom of the press, Judyth has sent an email to Google under the heading, "REFERENCES BEING ERASED AGAIN":
To Whom It May Concern:
References to me have been constantly disappearing on the Internet ever since the History Channel ran a documentary on me that was eventually banned due to pressure by special interests.
Last year, 15,000 references, which direct people to my books, paintings and writings, were erased.
Over 250,000 newsgroup references were also erased.
Then my Wikipedia biography, which had been in Wikipedia over five years, was erased. One reason given was that I only had 1,700 references on google ([where] 48,000 had been erased overnight).
I was told by one person that the erasure was accomplished by a group with Usenet who had also erased over 250,000 newsgroup posts that I and my supporters had made after spurious and unfair attacks were made against me by these newsgroups, leaving mostly their pejorative and nasty posts about me. The 'nice' ones vanished.
It is interesting to see that, in these newsgroups, there is nothing about me there between 2009 and 2004: all that was in between was removed. Between 2004-2009, we established that I was a witness who was telling the truth. Now all that is left is that I am a witness who has been telling lies that "have not been answered." This was not the case.
Nevertheless, as people learned about my book and my status as a controversial witness, the number of references shot up this year again, on the Internet search, to 24,000 for "Judyth Vary Baker."
Then, the day before yesterday, 20,000 references to "Judyth Vary Baker" vanished from the Internet.
Today, with about 3,300 remaining, another 50 vanished. I have seen this pattern before. Every day, about 50-100 references will vanish. Only writing to you has been able to restore the references.
Understand that there were over 45,000 references three years ago.
Generally, a group from Marquette University has actively been deleting all references to me on newsgroups: one member was on the board of Usenet before Google took over DejaVu....He has set up several large websites against me, as my witness statements have gone against what he teaches at his university. His websites include many false statements about me that he has refused to correct.
I have had no ability to save all the "good" references to me, once again...
I am asking that they be restored. We're talking about some 21,000 references that are no longer available when people search for "Judyth Vary Baker."
I am a witness who now has to live overseas due to persecution in the US. At age 66, this is not my desire.
Google, please restore my livelihood, as the loss of the sites on the search engine make it hard for people to find me unless they already know my name.
NOTE: I AM BLIND ccING A NUMBER OF PEOPLE CONCERNING THIS PROBLEM. I WILL SEND ALL OF THEM YOUR RESPONSE.
Thank you.
Judyth has also written to my webmaster, Lola, and has given me permission to publish her email here:
Dear Lola:
In 2003, a controversial 3-part addition to the History Channel's popular "The Men Who Killed Kennedy" series--episodes 7, 8 and 9--was banned after strident objections by LBJ's widow, Disney executives, Jack Valenti, and others. A board of historians whose writings were favorable to Lyndon Johnson was hastily assembled to discredit the veracity of the episodes, though none of the witnesses, including myself, were ever interviewed. It was a hatchet job.
Over 300,000 references using my name, by this time, were on the Internet. I had also published poetry, was a professional artist, had published short stories and writings, and had participated in newsgroups explaining in great detail what I knew as a witness concerning Lee Harvey Oswald.
I was shocked and concerned when I was misquoted and mocked; furthermore, I found my posts were being misquoted, out of context. "Witnesses" who had never met me or scarcely knew me came out of the woodwork, saying I was a poor teacher. I and my friends defended me on the Internet. One important website "crashed" and "lost" hundreds of posts and supporting statements. When it was restored, all the posts but mine had been saved. The webmaster said I was "paranoid" to think it was personal.
Between 2003 and 2008, over 400,000 references to my name and my history, good and bad, existed in newsgroups and the Internet. Though many were attack sites, the truth was "out there."
Then a newsgroup that had collected about a hundred of my posts suddenly erased them all. A webmaster of some very large websites that attacked me personally on the Internet was also the moderator of an important newsgroup.
In 2008, this moderator erased 250,000 newsgroup references to my name. A gap between 2009 and 2004 exists. At the same time, the most damning posts were kept online, as if they had never been answered with defenses.
The labor of years had been erased over a period of about two months.
By 2008, the number of references on the Internet itself had risen to some 30,000.
My biography on Wikipedia had been created by the hostile moderator of the newsgroup previously mentioned, but because I had many friends, some were editors who added ameliorating comments, references and statements to balance the Wikipedia biography.
Visitors to the Wikipedia biography saw references to online resources that supported conspiracy theories, even though some references also mentioned hostile attack sites against me.
Throughout this time period, I had been harrassed, threatened, robbed, burglarized, hit on the head, had my car's brake lines severed, and had been forced twice overseas for my safety.
My family suffered, too. Nevertheless, the Wikipedia biography at least provided somewhat of a balanced assessment of who I was and what I stood for.
Due to death threats, in 2007 I had to leave my teaching position in Hungary. I entered the EU political asylum program. As an American, this was a desperate measure: I was an ordinary American, not someone trying to find refuge as a soldier escaping war in Iraq, for example. In fact, I was the first American woman in decades to enter the system seeking protection. I was also the first person in the EU political asylum system to enter with a service dog. I had to have a service dog to help me due to vision and memory problems after having been in two "accidents" in Dallas that gave me concussions and hospitalized me.
They were going to deport me at once to the US, but after investigating the situation, and finding threats to have me arrested, and my name linked viciously to the Taliban shortly after 9/11, they did more investigating.
I was not deported. Though I was told it was impossible to "keep" me permanently, since the US is the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave, I could stay as long as it took for my family to find safe places for me.
At great sacrifice (my son even gave up his very nice apartment and moved into a single room), my parents, sister, and two of my children, were able to arrange safe accommodations. But it took all of our resources. I consequently live in poverty.
The newsgroup mocked me for the fact that I was "turned down" for political asylum. I was not turned down. I was granted protection as long as the system dared to keep me on--for over ten months I was housed, fed and given medical care, until I could get to safety on my own. There was never a chance that I could get permanent status as a political asylum refugee, since I was a non-combatant form the USA.
Now living overseas in exile--the third time, due to death threats; and I have not gone into detail as to all that has happened to me, by any means--my swedish friend Allan Mattsson had been doing some editorial work for Wikipedia, and I told him about the highly biased anti-Oswald Wikipedia biography on Oswald. He isn't that good in English writing, so I worked with him, and we added a few statements--all of them true--such as the fact that Oswald received his GED, because the Wikipedia biography only mentioned that he was a high school dropout.
It was immediately erased. We added a statement that the Assassination Records Review Board (ARRB) had been formed--never mentioned in the biography of Oswald--that collected evidence and testimonies.
This, too, was erased.
Then came a flood of complaints against my Wikipedia biography, as my identity was linked to Allan Mattsson's through my email account. This special email account serves as an interface between me and hackers, etc. to protect my own computer.
The next thing I knew, the Wikipedia biography--after five years online--was slated for elimination as the biography of a non-existing person as a hoax biography!
Then, suddenly, the google search engine revealed that instead of some 40,000 references on the Internet (not newsgroups), there were now only some 1,700 left.
At the same time, Wikipedia editors decided to erase my biography, claiming that I did not exist. After I proved that I existed, by then the number of references to me had dropped to some 1,300 online. Now they stated that I was not important enough to be included in a biography, as all I had was a "claim" that John McAdams said was phony. I was a 'one-note' person whose art, writings, poetry, etc. was not world class (though I've sold my paintings worldwide for thirty years) and that, furthermore, McAdams assured them that my "claims" were fictitious.
Friends tried to protest, but in mid-2009, their Wikipedia biography, with its references to more online resouces about Lee Oswald than any other online source, was erased. Away went mention of Fetzer, Groden, Livingstone, Haslam, the Men Who Killed Kennedy series, the banned History Channel documentary links, other documentary links where I appeared in their films on TV, or in magazines from sea to shining sea, and overseas.
The many protests that were lodged were supposed to be kept in an archive, but they, too, vanished (I did save some of them). I later discovered that this removal was led by "Shutterbun 2" who posts on the McAdams newsgroup that ended up erasing over 250,000 references there.
CNN late in 2009 noted that Michelle Obama's picture as a female gorilla had somehow gone to the top in search engine photos. I knew such was no "accident" after what had gone to the top about me. However, after the CNN report, suddenly 18,000 references to me popped up again.
These were in place until one of my friends, Marha Rose Crow, who collects evidence of ponerology--evil in government affairs--and archives them online in her blogs, made what I consider the error of adding my website to her sidebar.
Before long, Martha's 105 blogs got erased. They were restored, but the 22,500 references I had, some helped along by Martha's blogs, vanished. I am now represented by only 3,200 references. As for Martha, though most of her blogs were restored, some 35,000 of her references vanished.
Therefore, I wrote Google security about the problem.
And I responded, as well, to your kind inquiry.
Please fix any typos, as I have double vision and desperately need new glasses. Though I will never stop fighting for Lee Oswald's exoneration, to see the labors of a decade erased not once but several times, in every possible way, does bring tears to my eyes.
I have lost my home, employment, my health, my reputation and family members who are ashamed of me for speaking out. At nearly 67, my grandchildren have forgotten me. I yearn for books in English. I'd love to have some nice warm socks, as I live in one of the coldest places in one of the coldest countries half the time. The other half of the time, for my protection, I dress in a burka and live in Turkey. You could make a movie out of all that's happened.
What's important is that Lee Harvey Oswald's exoneration means that the US government carried out a coup d'etat. If we want our country back, we need to remove all questions about, "Did Oswald do it?"
He tried to save the president, as I dare to testify anytime, any place.
God bless America. Truth alone will get us back on our feet. Destroying witnesses and all mention of them on the Internet--these dirty tricks are not going to stop me as long as I have breath left in my body and people of good will pay attention.
One incident happened when I opened the trunk of my car with groceries...the trunk was slammed down on my head. I was knocked unconscious. No, they didn't take the car, just my purse...but I had to go to the hospital for a concussion.
In Dallas, I was struck from behind by a white van that I had complained to friends had been following me for months. It came full speed as I sat at a red light only blocks from my home, with lanes on each side of me empty, as witnesses testified. I sustained a concussion. The man who did it tried, in perfect English, to get me to leave the car. I wanted to prove that my seat belt was on and refused to move. The car was dripping gas and could have turned to a fireball. When the police and firemen arrived, the man said--and my sister will testify, as she was there and heard him talking in good English to me--the guy said, "No speak English, need translator." He gave false information. The van had no known owner. He vanished. On the police report, his line of work was "driver." I went to the hospital, but my nice Taurus was totalled.
A few months later, having recovered, and had just sent my book to an interested publisher, I received a phone call about 5:30 AM saying, "Want to have another accident today?" Then hung up. I wrote emails at 6:00 AM telling of the threat, to friends as well as to the publisher, and said to forget it, no book!
My friend, Dr. Platzman, wrote that it was just a crank call. That night, leaving my classroom where I taught English and computer science, it was raining. As I drove, a black van pulled out and began following me. I went some five or six miles trying to evade it, but finally, the van forced another car against me just as we were going under a cement-walled underpass. I could have been killed, but a wall of water from the rain pushed up between me and the car that was forced against mine, which saved me from crashing into the cement wall there.
The car received little damage, but I sustained my third concussion from this event, as well as a neck injury, back injury and a problem with double vision, which I apparently will have for the rest of my life. The insurance company hated to pay me for this second event, but finally did so. They photographed and had analyzed the scraped fender and marred paint that proved the other car had hit me and not the other way around, as the driver tried to claim to get insurance money for herself.
I moved to Orlando, Florida, after that, having sustained more threats and worried about the safety of my sister, who lives in Texas.
Six weeks after being hired as a teacher at a Christian academy there, the son of an FBI employee in my English class sent around a petition to have me fired because I was "notorious" as "Oswald's lover"--I was shown the petition and the letter from the FBI employee and was fired. How did he find out?
I did tell friends before it happened that I saw the letter and would be fired within days, but was not allowed a copy of the letter. The son of the FBI employee went on the Internet saying I was a terrible teacher who also taught that the moon landing was a hoax. (Actually, I used the moon landing hoax as a possible idea to write about, as a class writing assignment challenging my high school students to take an unpopular position needing research and to try to defend it.)
At this time, Nigel Turner filmed me for THE LOVE AFFAIR. I could hardly walk and sometimes wore a body brace, but did my best not to show it. I received more death threats right after that. Nevertheless, I went back to Texas to be filmed by Wim Dankbaar and Jim Marrs. I did all of this for free, just for travel expenses, refusing to sell the story to a tabloid.
The tabloid ran the story anyway, by the way, infuriating my family. They wanted to run a photo of me that I had shown them in a swimsuit. I was offered quite a chunk of money to do that--this has been turned into a ridiculously high sum on the Internet--but because it was so tempting, I cut the legs off the photo.
By the time I was filmed in Dallas, I had experienced flat tires, and on the last day I was there, all four of my tires were slashed. I had visited Mary Ferrell, and she was so sorry that they were slashed outside of her home on Holland--as she was about to move to an assisted living facility--that she gave me two $100 checks to help replace them. She said she thought it was just a prank the first time, but it happened twice.
Back in Orlando, I was in two "accidents" in two days. Going to traffic court, I brought documents showing my brake line had been cut and the brake's fluid in the master cylinder had been replaced--I had a mechanic's letter--but the next day all the fluid was gone again, and we found the severed line. I ran into two cars both days at intersections.
Again, the insurance company paid the damages, but then they cancelled my insurance coverage after I went overseas and never allowed me to come near their company again. Can't say that I blame them. Each time, the insurance replaced the ruined car, but each time, of course, it was worth much less, so by this time I was driving an old car. All my savings were now gone due to hospital bills.
Without going into many other details, upon returning to Orlando and going through the "accidents" there, while out job hunting, my apartment was broken into and vandalized. Because nothing was stolen, the police refused to do anything about it. Then a truck began parking up against my window with the lights on, motor running, at night. It was frightening, because I would go out to try to get the license and it would take off before I could get it.
The man in the apartment next to mine became hostile toward me and told me he wanted me to move because the truck's harassment of me kept him awake at night! At the same time, I received hang-up calls at 2 or 3 AM. Because my mother was ill at the time, I had to answer, as she was in the hospital.
The last straw was after I made a few phone calls to get my service dog certified by a vet. It was the last step for certification--her health certificate. I now needed a service dog due to memory problems after the concussions. My long-term memory was fine, but now I could no longer recognize my surroundings while walking. (I was okay standing still.) My service dog was trained by Canine Companions in Orlando. My children and I had been raising service dogs and guide dogs for some time, so it was a thrill to get one of my own trained puppies back, for myself.
As I finished making phone calls to locate the cheapest vet, I did not replace the receiver correctly on the phone cradle and heard some clicks. Curious, I picked up the phone and heard a conversation going on about me--that they would have to get rid of me! I gasped, and one person said, "Hang up! She can hear us!"
Whether this was done purposely to frighten me or not, that was it.
With the last of my now pitiful funds, and not wanting my children harmed or involved, or my family, I asked Wim Dankbaar to find a safe place for me to live in Holland, his home country.
Finally, Wim arranged to have me run a museum about Lee Oswald (it was 2003, the 40th anniversary) for six months, which gave me a special permit, but I would have to pay all expenses if I did so. (He would get paperwork done for it, and he did find me a room for a month, as well, and paid for that.) But I was now afraid to leave my apartment. Nor could I get a job in Orlando after the FBI incident.
I had already lost my teaching job at the University after speaking out, after a bomb threat to the English building where my office and classrooms were, after dozens of computers were stolen there and after a half-gallon of hydrochloric acid was thrown at me. That's why I got a job teaching in Dallas, and after those incidents, in Orlando.
Having to leave seriously interfered with my doctoral program, and though I had passed all my comps, oral exam, and all courses with a 3.99, they would not allow me, as a "notorious person", to be on a graduate committee, or to present more papers at conferences. I had been editor of a journal there, and they removed me and placed another person, Jessica, as editor instead. I had used the name "Avary Baker" because I'd been fearful due to the past, but had wanted to find witnesses, if any were still alive. I did eventually find five of them.
Meanwhile, after speaking out, my classes to teach were cut drastically. I had to leave and find work elsewhere. Nor could I get enough people to sit on my dissertation committee; and even though I had health issues and had a "handicapped" status that allowed me more time to take my comps after my injuries in Dallas, they would not grant me a time extension to get together the committee. I was not someone they wanted on their graduation list. And so it was that I am not "Dr. Baker." Nor would I be able to become a professor. But I still had student loan payments to make.
When I first spoke out, I had plenty of savings, employment at a university, security, nice car, good health insurance. All of that was now gone. Soon, my student loans went bad. As of now, they have ballooned to triple the original amount and they will take money out of my Social Security to pay on them for the rest of my life. I felt horrible. I never believed I could become so poor so quickly.
I actually was hired several times, but as if somebody had kept tracing my calls, I would receive calls back that they had changed their minds! Some of my friends can testify that they were aware, as I would tell them I was hired--they had sent recommendations--but then the job vanished.
I had had enough with the phone call incident--little did I know I'd get much worse phone call shocks in the future! I called my son to tell him I was going to move overseas, and we had dinner together at a restaurant. When we came back to my car, inside was a note from the police. They had found both car doors wide open, had closed and locked them and put the note inside.
My car was for sale to raise money to move overseas, but the title had been stolen.
My son now realized what I had been going through to a greater extent.
Unable to sell the car, I asked my son to sell it. I had an emergency credit card, which I decided to use, and then pay it off when the car sold.
Imagine my horror, newly arrived in Holland, when I found that my credit card "changed" my $90 a month automatic payment to $900 a month! I learned this when my daughter sent the statement to me. Wim Dankbaar let me use his phone because no 800 number works overseas and I had no phone of my own yet.
I was told that was "too bad about the $1580 overcharge." Furthermore, since I was complaining and was overseas and still "owed" $200 on the card, they were going to cancel my $5000 credit card! And they did. Wim was there and took this as an indication of harassment, because I had informed them before leaving that I would be using the card overseas.
I was forced to borrow money from Mr. Dankbaar and paid over half of it back to him, with a painting to make up for the rest.
My health was still not very good (I was wearing a body brace in the Nigel Turner film) and I had slipped and fallen in Orlando due to dizzy spells and double vision from the two "accidents" in Houston and the other two in Orlando.
I had struck my head this fourth time around and was hospitalized, but my insurance with the school that had fired me, now a COBRA, was going to run out, so the doctors refused to do a recommended operation on my neck. My friends will testify that they were outraged that the operation was refused.
I have lived with chronic neck pain ever since, which became a "pre-existing condition" in the future, whenever I tried to get health insurance again.
Living with chronic pain has turned out to be the least of my troubles overseas. What happened overseas and how I then returned to the US twice, trying to stay safely in my own country is an absolutely incredible story that included at one point being held against my will in Holland--after being threatened and stalked in Hungary (on my first trip, not second trip, to Hungary--the second time was even worse) ... I was compromised there by thieves who claimed to have Mafia connections, who wanted to get their hands on my screenplay. One of these characters was a bona fide sniper for NATO. He was a dangerous man with a short fuse of a temper.
It was difficult for Wim Dankbaar, who lived in the same country, to believe aspects of this until he went with me back to their house himself. Angry at how they refused to even open the door--though they spotted us and had been informed that we were coming, and seeing the condition of the place, and knowing they had stolen almost all my possessions--Wim took his fist and crashed it through their door's window, so I could get inside to get some of my things back. They had disposed of much of my valuables by then--TV sets, computer, my stereo, big CD collection, some of my evidence, even a baby book of one of my children--was gone.
Wim went on tape to describe what had happened, and Sydney Wilkinson heard part of that tape before it, too, was stolen in yet another incident.
The thieves, after sending threats in big red letters with a clock ticking "24 hours" to my friends, demanding to know my location, went through with their threats to discredit me and took portions of my book and published it on the Internet.
This was an unfinished manuscript written via emails with Dr. Howard Platzman. Portions had been altered, of course, and the sad part was that if those portions were corrected, my enemies were ready to say I was "changing my story." In fact, quotations are used by Dave Reitzes, John McAdams, and others from "Deadly Alliance" to "prove" I "evolve" my story. Martin Shackelford wrote many posts asserting that this was not true, as he had been a close associate from the beginning up to this time.
All those posts were erased.
Shackelford in 2009 finally gave up posting on the newsgroup that made these accusations. He had endured incredible amounts of abuse for supporting me, such as, "You used to be a good researcher before you fell for Judyth's scams", and similar abuse.
All of the labor on "Deadly Alliance" had to be shelved and a new book written, which was very unfair to Dr. Platzman. At the same time, McAdams & Co. published an outline Platzman had worked on, based on emails between us, that had quite a few problems needing to be fixed, intended for publishers who had shown interest in "Deadly Alliance".
But this outline was prettied up and then published by McAdams & Co., after making it look as if it were some kind of official document. The various errors they introduced, such as that I was recruited by the CIA while in high school, are used on the Internet to "prove" how ridiculous my story is.
I successfully got a copy of that document removed from SCRIBD.com after I had proven it had been stolen from me and was being presented as a finished document, but it still appears as "Deadly Alliance" in Internet clones elsewhere. An example of an error that Dr. Platzman made that is easy to prove is his stating that Lee and I wrote the science fiction piece, "Her Story", together. The name of the science fiction story Lee and I wrote together in 1963 was actually called, "Her Way", and I have about half of it. The other half was destroyed by vandals, but Nigel Turner and other researchers had seen all 16 pages.
Typos, etc. were mostly left intact in this so-called "finished" document.
Through such means, McAdams & Co. try to convince the public that my story has evolved over time. Of course, my testimony gained more detail as people asked more specific questions. For example, I did not offer information on Clinton and Jackson to Platzman and Shackelford for months, until they asked me about it--we just didn't get to that item. When I immediately responded to their emails on the subject, they were shocked and pleased, because I was the "unknown woman" Jim Garrison had sought. I had information that, for the first time showed that two different trips were involved and why Clay Shaw, Dave Ferrie, and Lee had had to be there in that car together in Clinton. The documentary by Nigel Turner did not have time for much in the way of detail.
But all of that is another story.
Those who doubt the truth of Judyth's words about the innocence of Lee and the occurrence of a coup d'etat need to learn more about the death of JFK. Beyond the blogs found here, the books I have edited and the articles I have published about the assassination, I have interviewed many experts on my own radio program, which are archived at radiofetzer.blogspot.com.
Two of those are of special interest here, both with Doug Horne, the author of INSIDE THE ARRB (2009), who was its former Senior Analyst for Military Affairs. One focuses on the recreation of the Zapruder film to create a false record of the sequence of events in Dealey Plaza, the other about the medical cover-up in excruciating detail.
John McAdams, by the way, is a notorious "lone-nutter" who supports the official account of the assassination, which is refutable on elementary grounds. (See, for example, "Reasoning about Assassinations", which I presented at Cambridge and published in a peer-reviewed journal.)
Dave von Pein, moreover, is an especially vicious attack dog who goes after anyone who contests the government's position, as anyone can readily verify by tracing the comments for INSIDE THE ARRB, where he has gone after Doug Horne tooth and claw and I have rebutted many of his assaults, which will continue.
Not the least of my reasons for posting this blog is that I received a death threat today for my work on JFK and 9/11. Lola, however, suspects that it is directly related to my support for Judyth, where she may well be right. She has done a nice piece of detective work in identifying the person she suspects sent this threat to me, which I received just this morning. Here is the threat and the identity of the person who may well have sent it. He seems to fit.
Joe has a footnote to the article that describes a little reported event that happened on October 10, 2001, the apparent attempted bombing of the Mexican Congress by Israeli agents. It's a down the rabbit hole tale that didn't make the U.S. main stream media for obvious reasons. It would have led to questions of Israeli involvement in 9/11, especially since so many Israelis and Mossad agents had been rounded up immediately after the September 11 false flag attack. The footnote in its entirety is below.
Ariel Sharon sent a top envoy, who sprang them, following strong pressure from Israeli government. They were whisked off, leaving Mexicans to wonder, What in the hell was THAT all about?" One neighbor here in Mexico says wryly, "That must have cost the Israelis millions in bribes."
Army general and head of the PGR releases two Israelis arrested with guns and explosives inside the Mexican Congress
by Ernesto Cienfuegos, La Voz de Aztlan
Los Angeles, Alta California - October 15, 2001- (ACN) In a mind-blowing development, La Voz de Aztlan has learned that Mexican Army General Rafael Marcial Macedo de la Concha who heads the ProcuradurÃa General de la República (Mexican Department of Justice) has released the retired Israeli Defense Forces colonel and presumed MOSSAD agent Salvador Guersson Smecke and Israeli illegal immigrant Saur Ben Zvi after both had penetrated the security of the Mexican Congress and where in possession of guns, hand grenades and explosives.
El Diario de Mexico was one of many newspapers in Mexico that carried the story but after two days it just died. The two Israeli terrorists are seen being escorted out of the Congress by police.
This morning La Voz de Aztlan had a personal telephone interview with the Mexican Congressional Press Secretary, Lic. Adriana Lopez, and verified the arrest of the two Israelis after they had entered through the highly secured front entrance of the Palacio Legislativo de San Lázaro. She stated to La Voz de Aztlan that the two terrorists had taken advantage of a situation that occurred around 1700 hours of Wednesday October 10 when a large contingent of Sugar Industry Unionists were entering through the metal detectors. The two Israelis followed about 50 of the unionists to the office of the President of the Mexican Congress Beatriz Paredes. The two Israelis were first pretending to be press photographers but called the attention of the sugar unionists because of their nervous and out of the ordinary behavior. About ten of the unionists confronted them and observed that they were carrying guns and and what looked to them to be explosives. They held the two Israelis until Official Congressional Security personnel took them into custody. The head of Congressional Security Salvador Alarcón verified that the Israelis had in their possession nine hand grenades, sticks of dynamite, detonators, wiring and two 9mm "Glock" automatics.
Mexican Congressional Press Secretary Lic. Adriana Lopez informed La Voz de Aztlan in the telephone interview that Congressional Security then turned the terrorists Salvador Guersson Smecke, age 34, and Saur Ben Zvi, age 27, to the ProcuradurÃa General de la República (Mexican Department of Justice) which is headed by Mexican Army General Rafael Marcial Macedo de la Concha. Initial reports by the ProcuradurÃa General de la República (PGR) were that both Israelis worked for a private security agency and that they both had gun permits. It turned out that there is no connection of either suspect to any private security agency. The PGR has released the retired Israeli I.D.F. colonel with the official explanation that he had a legal permit to carry a gun. They also released the illegal Israeli immigrant on about $4000 bail and the case turned over to the Mexican immigration authorities. Mexican Congressional Press Secretary Lic. Adriana Lopez was surprised to hear from La Voz de Aztlan of the release of the two Israelis.
La Voz de Aztlan has also learned that the Israeli Embassy used heavy handed measures to have the two Israelis released. Very high level emergency meetings took place between Mexican Secretary of Foreign Relations Jorge Gutman, General Macedo de la Concha and a top Ariel Sharon envoy who flew to Mexico City specially for that purpose. ElÃas Luf of the Israeli Embassy worked night and day and their official spokeswoman Hila Engelhart went into high gear after may hours of complete silence. What went one during those high levels meetings no ones knows, but many in Mexico are in disbelief at their release. Guns and any kind of explosive is highly illegal for Mexican citizens and the fact that these two Israelis had them inside the Mexican Congress makes their release highly suspect. What is really going on? Jorge Gutman, the Mexican Foreign Secretary, has very strong Zionist connections and himself is of Jewish descent. Mexican Army General Macedo de la Concha has strong connections to the U.S. Military Industrial-Complex and through this to the Israeli Defense Forces. Have any of these connections influenced the decision to release the two Zionist terrorists?
The initial arrests of the two Israelis inside the Palacio Legislativo de San Lázaro made top news on Mexico City television and radio on the evening of October 10. TV Azteca had extensive coverage on the first night and on the following day. La Cronica de Hoy Newspaper and El Universal Newspaper both covered the incident the following two days but now it seems that there is a lack of reports. The PGR has a Press Bulletin on their official website at http://www.pgr.gob.mx/cmsocial/bol01/oct/b69701.html but they have made no updates. No U.S. media has made any mention, that we know, except one by USAJewish.com this Sunday at: http://www.usajewish.com/scripts/usaj/paper/Article.asp?ArticleID=1307 {link dead}. Pravda of Moscow has a note of the initial La Voz de Aztlan article at: http://english.pravda.ru/main/2001/10/13/17982.html
What were the Israelis up to? We think we know. The Vicente Fox government has been very careful of involving Mexico in a war against Islam. The Mexican population as well as the two major opposition political parties, the PRI and the PRD will not allow it. President Bush and the U.S. Zionists want Mexico fully involved in the war principally because if things get tough in the middle east and the oil rich Arabs leave the coalition, the U.S. military machine is going to need alternative sources of oil and PEMEX is just across the border. We believe that the two Zionists terrorist were going to blow up the Mexican Congress. The second phase was to mobilize both the Mexican and US press to blame Osama bin Laden. Most likely then Mexico would declare war on Afghanistan as well, commit troops and all the oil it could spare to combat Islamic terrorism. {source}

out to see various places of interest in the city.
One afternoon we went to see the Allahabad Museum and
Alfred Park also called Company Bagh (British Park), now renamed
Chandrashekhar Azad Park after
a freedom fighter .
Namrita outside the Museum.
We were not allowed to take photos inside.
The Allahabad Museum is one of the best kept and well maintained museums in India. The uniqueness of Allahabad Museum is that it has separate galleries dedicated and devoted to natural history exhibits, archaeological findings, art gallery and artifacts donated by Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. The Museum, was inaugurated in the year 1947 by the first Prime Minister of India, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru. The Allahabad Museum, proudly exhibits a huge collection of displays that are scattered across a whopping 18 galleries. The beautiful items that are on display include prehistoric and Indus Valley antiquities, textiles, terracotta, stone sculpture, weapons, bronzes, seals, miniature paintings, Buddhist artefacts medieval land grants and much more. The museum also displays the documents and the personal effects of Nehru and the freedom movement.The other picturesque objects that are exhibited in the Allahabad Museum, Uttar Pradesh include beautiful stone images, lintels and intricately carved temple pillars dating from the 3rd century BC to the 12th century AD. These objects represent and portray important dynasties, both ancient and medieval. The museum also displays antiques from nearly all the well known and renowned schools of sculptures which include Mathura, Gandhara, Sarnath and Kausambi.All said and done, the most interesting and intriguing part of the display consists of the magnificent terracotta collection of this museum. The coin collection of Allahabad Museum in Allahabad in India is also brilliant. The coin collection includes Kushana and Gupta gold coins.

Behind it is the old British Public Library.
This park was built to commemorate the visit of Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, to Allahabad. It forms a quiet and refreshing tract of greenery in the heart of the city. It was later renamed in honour of Chandra Shekhar Azad, a freedom fighter who lost his life at this place during the struggle for independence. It contains a white marble canopy which was formerly a memorial to Queen Victoria.
Alfred Park is a must visit tourist destination in the city of Allahabad. Apart from the fact that Alfred Park is the largest park in Allahabad, it has historical significance as well. The park is marked by huge statue of George V and Victoria that were installed in the very center. The Park was the site for official ceremonies at the time of British that were often followed by musical performances of the Police Band. The park became famous during the Indian Freedom Struggle. This was the same place where the famous encounter between the British police and Indian revolutionary took place. Chandra Shekhar Azad had taken the vow that come what may, he will never let himself in to the hands of imperial police. Therefore he took the pseudonym 'Azad' that means 'Free' in Hindi. It happened so that Azad got cornered in the Alfred Park while he was escaping out after an act. A full unit of the then Allahabad Police cordoned the park and cut the escape route. An hour-long exchange of fire followed but when Azad found that he has only one bullet left in his pistol, he preferred to shoot himself than breaking his vow. After independence this park was renamed as Chandra Shekhar Azad Park and a bust statue of Azad has been erected where he died.
My Dad and I used to come here
regularly for our daily morning walks
when my legs were good.
I was once bitten by a feral monkey
while exercising.
I had to get a shot after that
for the sake of precaution.

The park is spread over several acres and
accomodates the Museum, several speciality gardens,

an aviary, small vineyard, plant nurseries,
a ladies club building,a stadium,
tennis courts ,an Indian music school
and a cultural centre.
This is a grave/shrine of a Muslim mystic.
It looks rather ghostly in the foggy afternoon haze.
My Dad 's younger brother has an interesting story
about this place.
One night (when he was young)
he was taking a short cut through the park
on his bicycle. It was midnight when he passed
the grave and there was darkness everywhere.
He saw a figure in a white sari
following him rather swiftly.
It was a mysterious woman with flowing long hair.
He knew that it was not a normal thing for a woman
to take a walk in the park at midnight.
He sensed that it was a ghost or an apparition.
He somehow managed to reach the busy street
where the woman disappeared.
By the time he got home he was suffering from fright fever.
He was a young boy then.
(My uncle went to be with the Lord 10 years ago)
There is also a grave of a British army officer in the Park.
And when I came here for walks with my American lady
Chundra Lela traveled all over India and Nepal, spreading the Gospel of Christ. Many times she would teach for hours without food or drink until people reminded her it was time to take rest and refreshment.Chundra Lela spent her last years living with a disgraced Hindu woman near a road so she could continue to preach to those who passed by. When she grew old, she sat in front of her hut and preached to those passing by. When her final illness took hold of her, her dying words were, "Four bright angels have come to take me to Jesus." Chundra Lela died on November 26, 1907.
