THE NATIONAL PRESS CLUB CONFERENCE ON UFO CLOSE ENCOUNTERS —A FIRST-HAND ACCOUNT OF THE HISTORIC NOVEMBER 12, 2007 EVENT.
Saturday, December 15, 2007, This second IF seminar of our fall-winter season will take place on Saturday, December 15. Featured will be a discussion of the Washington, D.C. gathering of important military, aviation and government officials from around the world by Leslie Kean, one of the conference’s two organizers. A series of dramatic videotaped excerpts from the conferees’ presentations will be shown, along with Kean’s commentary on the high points of this watershed event.
IF attendees will see a tape of Iran’s General Parviz Jafari’s vivid description of his 1976 “dogfight” with a UFO over Teheran, the subject of a lengthy, well-known Defense Intelligence Agency document submitted to the White House, the Department of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the CIA. A second tape includes the account of Commadante Oscar Santa Maria, a Peruvian Air Force pilot, who, in a similar engagement, was able to fire his machine guns at a maneuvering UFO, but with no effect.
Gripping details of the famous Rendlesham Forest incident at Bentwaters AFB in Great Britain will also be discussed in taped presentations by two witnesses, Colonel Charles Halt and Sgt. James Penniston, and their significance evaluated by former Ministry of Defense official, Nick Pope. Sgt. Penniston will describe his approach to the landed UFO, and the remarkable fact that he was able to touch its surface before it ascended at a staggering speed.
These are but a few of the taped presentations to be shown, but equally important will be conference organizer Leslie Kean’s illuminating commentary on an extraordinary event in the ongoing saga of the UFO phenomenon.
For anyone deeply interested in the subject, this evening will be a personal landmark, and we urge you to attend.

It’s Been Two Years
Since That Dreaded Night
When The ATF
Busted His Door Down
Five Minutes Past Midnight
He Was Unarmed
And Did Not Resist
But They Swung Their Clubs
And Hit Him With Their Fists
Hand Cuffed And Shackled,
His Lifeless Body
Was Thrown Into A Van
While His Wife And Kids
Hid In A Closet ,
Clutching A Kitchen Knife
And A Greasy Frying Pan
No Rights Were Read,
No Badges Were Shown,
No Warrants Were Issued,
The House Was Ransacked
The Computer Was Gone,
They Even Hit The Little Girls Room
Her Dolly’s Lay There
With No Heads,
Even Their Faithful FamilyDog Is Dead
All Because A Husband And A Father
Wore A Patch On His Back,
All Because A Brother
Took An Oath To Watch
His Partner’s Back
He Is Guilty
Until Proven Innocent
In The Eyes Of The Law
They Froze His Assets
And Gave Him No Bail
Now His Family Is On The Streets
As he spends his days
In A Cramped Jail Cell
This Is Called Justice
In The Eyes Of The Law?
That Is Absurd
And I Am Appalled

HANDGUN OWNERSHIP FIGHT IN DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA–WASHINGTON (CNN) — The U.S. Supreme Court agreed Tuesday to decide whether the District of Columbia’s sweeping ban on handgun ownership violates the Constitution’s fundamental right to “keep and bear arms.”
The justices accepted the case for review, with oral arguments likely next February or March. A ruling could come by late June, smack in the middle of the 2008 presidential election campaign.
At issue is one that has polarized judges and politicians for decades: Do the Second Amendment’s 27 words bestow gun ownership as an individual right, or do they bestow a collective one — aimed at the civic responsibilities of state militias — making it therefore subject to strict government regulation.
City leaders had urged the high court to intervene, saying refusal to do so could prove dire.
“The District of Columbia — a densely populated urban locality where the violence caused by handguns is well documented — will be unable to enforce a law that its elected officials have sensibly concluded saves lives,” wrote attorneys for the city.
Washington Mayor Adrian Fenty and other officials held a public rally in September, with the message that more handguns will only mean more serious crime.
“I see the results of gun violence every day,” said Washington Police Chief Cathy Lanier. “The weakening of the district’s gun law will inevitably lead to an increase in injury, and worse, death.”
A federal appeals court in March ruled the handgun ban to be unconstitutional as well as a provision that rifles and shotguns — which are legal to own in the city — be kept in the home unloaded and fitted with trigger locks or disassembled. The rifle regulations are not at issue before the Supreme Court.
The city’s 31-year-old law has prevented most private citizens from owning and keeping handguns in their homes.
Only Chicago, Illinois, and Washington among major U.S. cities have such sweeping handgun bans. Courts have generally upheld bans in other cities of semiautomatic weapons and sawed-off shotguns.
Several Washingtonians first challenged the law, some saying they wanted to do something about being constant victims of crime.
“I want for myself the right to protect my home and my family in the event of a violent attack,” plaintiff George Lyon said in March after winning a lower court victory. “The District of Columbia is not what I call the safest jurisdiction in the world.”

NEW BIKER ARTIST ENTERS THE KINGDOM OF BIKERNET.COM–We welcome Monte Moore. As an illustrator for 15 years, Monte Moore has left his mark on the art world, winning the World Fantasy Art show twice, publishing 6 books featuring his art, and working for clients such as Playboy, Lucasfilm, Coors, the U.S. Marine Corps and many others.
Now Monte is making his mark in the world of custom motorcycle painting, having won the Las Vegas Bikefest for Best Paint in ’06 and ’07 and many other shows as well. Monte’s highly detailed and extremely unique paint jobs have garnered him top clients in the industry such as Mondo Porras of Denvers Choppers, PB Choppers, Ballistic Cycles and half a dozen other pro builders.
What draws them to Monte’s work is quick turnaround time, extremely unique and illustrative paint jobs, and a high degree of professionalism. The type of clients that are drawn to Monte are not your average ‘flame job’ type of clientele, but rather customers who are looking to stand out and be remembered for the work on their bikes.
One of the most notable things that sets Monte’s work apart from the majority of painters in the industry, is the amount of hand brushed details that are applied, and almost no use of masks or stencils of any kind. You can see many samples of Monte’s work at http://www.maverickcustompaint.com and see what’s new and different in the world of custom paint.
