My friend Klaus Hilgers passed away on February 28th 2008.

Klaus was an internationally renowned public speaker and seminarist who delivered seminars to tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, of people all over the world, over the last 25 years. He was the best public speaker I’ve ever seen, and could put together a seminar overnight on just about any subject.

He told the story of going to deliver one seminar many years ago, but when he got there and started delivering the subject he’d been asked to deliver to a group of about 20 people, they were very uncommunicative …

Well, this YouTube video about Anonymous ought to put a dent in their numbers. Anonymous = Hate Crimes & Terrorism Directed at Scientology. The sheer volume of crap these Anonymous cowards are creating is pretty revelatory of their intentions. Numerous bomb threats, thousands of harassing phone calls, vandalism and sending white powder to various Churches of Scientology by Anonymous show them to be true terrorists, not just cyber-terrorists any more.

My friends at CCHR report:

Connecticut is joining at least nine other states suing drug maker Eli Lilly and Co. over the antipsychotic drug Zyprexa.

Attorney General Richard Blumenthal says Connecticut’s lawsuit seeks to recover more than $190 million that that state’s medical assistance program spent on Zyprexa over more than a decade.

The lawsuit accuses Indianapolis-based Eli Lilly of running an illegal marketing campaign to promote Zyprexa for unapproved off-label uses, including treating children.

Blumenthal says the campaign also concealed risks associated with the drug, including diabetes, weight gain and cardiovascular problems.

A court in Alaska is currently hearing that …

This is a personal rebuttal to some websites I’ve seen from apostates recently that denigrated my religion with regard to raising children in Scientology. Here’s how I see this issue:

———-

My parents divorced when I was an infant, back in 1953. I grew up in a series of broken homes, attended 17 schools before graduating high school in 1970, and had 3 stepmoms and 7 step-dads at various times, as well as foster parents. I can remember living in 52 different houses in 6 states as a child. My parents were alcoholics, whose lives spun out of control in …

I received this question from a friend today about directory registrations and their worth or lack of it:

QuestionHi Jere

… I just wonder whether you can give me any advice on this. I am looking at a quick way to get some of my sites listed in on-line directories to increase incoming links and I wonder whether you use any tools for doing this…

Basically I have looked at a few tools but in the end there still seems to be a substantial amount of manual inputting involved - so I’m not sure if there is any great benefit …

Over 50 years ago, the United Nations signed into law the “Universal Declaration of Human Rights,” and has been busily ignoring those rights ever since. God only knows how many millions of people have been massacred in China since the end of WW II, and how many people Stalin killed in his gulags and by purposefully starving entire populations. The 20th century may have seen more people murdered after WWII, killed by their own governments, than in both the World Wars and in the Great Influenza epidemic of 1918-1919, all put together.
