Inverell Forum 2007 - Speakers Jeremy Lee Probably one of the best known speakers at the Inverell Forum, Jeremy has been on the speaking circuit for many years, has written and spoken extensively, at times giving an average of 150 lectures annually. He has spoken across Canada (three separate tours), around New Zealand (thirteen separate tours), through Britain, both northern and southern Ireland, and round Australia too often to count. Despite being regularly stereo-typed in the media, and attacked by all political parties (usually from the safety of parliamentary privilege), Jeremy Lee's material has gained a wider and wider audience, crossing both political and economic divisions. Dave von Kleist – 9/11 In Plane Site It is a coup for the Inverell Forum to have Dave vonKliest, the first international speaker, to grace the Forum platform. Is what occurred in New York on September 11, 2001and portrayed by the media, an accurate account of what really happened? It would appear not! Dave vonKleist from Versailles Kentucky) USA runs a radio show, somewhat similar to that of the Brain Wilshire and Grant Goldman shows in Sydney. Dave is also the Producer and Presenter of the controversial DVD “9/11 In Plane Site” which was shown on Australia’s Channel 10 last year. It is a riveting 80 minutes including video footage covering many aspects of what occurred on that day. Did passenger aircraft hit the World Trade Centre towers as we have been told? It would appear not! Did a passenger aircraft (757; flight 77) hit the Pentagon? It would appear not! These and many other aspects of 9/11 will be discussed during Dave’s 140 minute presentation at the 2007 Inverell Forum. Dave, who is soon to release a second DVD on 9/11, will also be showing newly obtained footage from this new release. While what occurred on 9/11 may seem far away, it is directly linked to so called terrorism and why Australia has committed troops to Iraq and Afghanistan. For those on the internet, more information can be found at http://thepowerhour.com or Google Dave vonKleist. Bevan
O’Regan Bevan has appeared numerous times on the Forum platform, in fact attended the first Forum in 1988. He is a farmer and long time Councillor and former Mayor with the Narrabri Shire. He is passionate about the role of Local Council which he says is closest to the people. Over his years as a councillor he has continually battled to have fellow councillors understand the importance of Local Government and the powers it has which are being eroded by State Governments. He is a prolific writer to letters-to-the-editor which appear in many newspapers across NSW. In his short address he will raise the issue, where water is now a commodity and is being separated and sold from the land and the problems that will cause for councils, including rating, not to mention the land owner. Des Morrison - Anzacs Betrayed This will be the subject of Des Morrison's presentation. Des served, as a boy, in the RAN in Burma and in the Pacific in a Destroyer Bombardment Flotilla and in landing Parties. He also served in the Scots Guards and then in the Guards Independent Parachute Company. Later in the Canadian Police and in the Canadian Army in the Mobile Striking Force (Para) in the Yukon, NW Territories and later in Germany with the Canadian Independent Infantry Brigade. He served as a Northern Territory Patrol Officer followed by service with the Northern Territory Prison and police services, from which he retired as Chief Instructor Control and Restraint. His service in training includes Australia, USA, Canada, Mexico, Hong Kong, UK and Northern Ireland. This sprightly 80 year old will have plenty to say during his first time presentation at the Inverell Forum. Michael
Gray Michael Gray has taken a great interest in the work of Brian and Nerida Egan who established Aussie Helpers in 2002 to help fight poverty and lift the spirits of those severely affected by drought in the outback. Brian, as a veteran of the Indonesian Confrontation and the Vietnam War in the 1960s who lost his own farm in the 1990s from a combination of drought and personal depression, is no stranger to hard times. Aussie Helpers mainly work via the "Bush Telegraph" to find farming families who are in desperate need of assistance. Aussie Helpers work around three words "care, share, respect" which simply means that Aussie Helpers share whatever assistance they have available free of charge and will give the recipients the utmost respect and confidentiality. Aussie Helpers raises all its own funding and is not aligned to any other charity or religious association. Unlike government funded organisations, Aussie Helpers are all unpaid volunteers making a real difference to the lives of real people. Michael will give us an insight into the work of this organisation. www.aussiehelpers.org.au Jenny
Barlow Jenny Barlow lives on a property in the North-West Slopes and Plains of NSW and the family have been on the land for six generations. Currently she is on a mission. Earlier in the year her husband Ross, died from complications of the blood cancer Multiple Myeloma. Despite losing his battle to live, Jenny still has complete faith in the path chosen. Over the last 30 years Dr John Holt of Western Australia has developed Radiowave Therapy and this will be the subject of Jenny’s address. www.radiowavebarlow.com Rob McIntyre By popular demand, Rob will once again be presenting a segment on health and how it is your responsibility to look after it. As he says, “Your good health is in Your hands”. Rob McIntyre completed a B.Sc., majoring in nutrition, as part of a Physical Education course at the University of Queensland. He was an Olympic Swimming Coach and the founding adviser to the NZ Sports Council. Rob presents information that will radically change the way you and your children can face the future. He invites you to make some slight adjustments to your daily choices which will absolutely guarantee that you, your family and the generations to come will avoid the debilitating diseases that seem to be on the increase. On the Monday following the Forum, Rob will start a four week speaking tour of WA. www.betterlivingresources.name Welf Herfurth Welf Herfurth was born and raised in Germany. He is a well-known political activist in Sydney where he now resides and he has the distinction of being criticised by the notorious Senator Ron Boswell (who hasn’t!) for his prior link to the German patriot NPD and membership of the One Nation party. He joined One Nation in 1998 but is no longer involved. Welf is also the Chairman of the annual Sydney Forum. Welf’s presentation will cover the subject of German nationalism - specifically, about the NPD - and what other nationalists outside Germany can learn from the NPD's practical approach to politics and creating a ‘parallel society’. The position he will be taking is a very unusual one and might be hard to understand for non Germans. He recommends that nationalist movements outside of Germany pay attention to the 'German model' and deliberately isolate some of its elements and incorporate them into their own ideologies and practices; their aim should be to minimise the parochial elements unique to their own countries (America, France, Australia or whatever) and become more 'German' and more 'Prussian'. Welf last made a presentation at the Inverell Forum in 2003. Cy d’Oliveira The world has entered into a new climate change. Many scientists believe this is due to the large and increasing amounts of GHG. This pattern can only be stopped by using energy that does not produce GHG. One of the only technology's that can satisfy the worlds increased demand for energy and potable water is that of the d’Oliveira Natural Gas Refinery (dNGR). This new technology does not require fossil fuel to operate but in fact supplies all its own operational energy demands. It produces environmentally renewable energy in the form of methane gas. Potentially this methane gas production could replace our current dependence on fossil fuels, such as crude oil, and coal. It could even replace atomic energy since it is a much safer alternative. This will be the subject of Cy’s presentation and this is his first time to an Inverell Forum. www.users.bigpond.net.au/dngr Bruce Craven Bruce who lives in northern QLD, for many years ran a charter boat business. One would think that once away from shore he would be free of bureaucratic controls. Not so it appears. Numerous permits, controls and bureaucratic bastardry made it difficult and expensive to carry on such a business. Bruce took them head on and had some wins which encouraged him to continue. His short presentation will show the difficulties he had and how he managed to continue despite these adversities. This is his first presentation at the Inverell Forum. Richard
Krege Dr
Frederick Toben and Richard Krege recently returned from the controversial
Holocaust Conference in Tehran as speakers. This conference caused
international outcry and stirred the media, politicians, academics and even
governments to despair. They discuss the background to this conference, what
was actually said and the ensuring ramifications that included Israel
officially admitting for the first time that it's a nuclear power. They will
also discuss the current Garry Thompson Garry is a long time attended to the Forum and has on several occasions
taken the 5 minute sessions to get his message across. The title of his
short presentation is “How not to be your own worst enemy”. |
