I went to a Process Church recruitment drive which was held in an Anglican Church hall. I've been racking my brains to remember whether it was in London in the late '60's or Auckland in the early '70's. What has stayed with me was my strong impression that they were sinister. The guys wore all black with thigh boots and capes. But it was the evil penetrating stare of one of them, a tall dude... I didn't leave my details with them.

In this interview between Jan Irwin and Dave McGowan: http://www.gnosticmedia.com/DaveMcGowan2-magic-carpet , McGowan doesn't know when his book will be released, and was a little concerned about the scant communication with his publisher, who has apparently told one bookseller it'll be April 4th; but McGowan hasn't seen it yet, and he'd really like to review the final product before it hits the shelves.

Then, McGowan says that Pacifica radio stations in NY and SF suddenly wanted him to do an interview after ignoring him for fifteen years. They didn't want to talk about his book, however... They didn't know he had one! One station wanted to talk exclusively about the Boston Marathon Thing, and the other wanted him to talk exclusively about the Moon Landing Hoax!

I sense an coordinated effort to discredit McGowan for his unconventional observations on those controversial topics to diffuse the public's perceptions on the book.

Then, Irwin and McGowan share their observations on some pretty rigorous research mixed with wild speculation... Well... I've only been able to listen to the first fifteen minutes, but I'm saving this interview for when I can take some notes!

http://www.gnosticmedia.com/DaveMcGowan2-magic-carpet
David McGowan was born and raised in the suburbs of Los Angeles, California, where he still resides. After graduating from UCLA in 1983 with an unused degree in psychology, he went to work in construction and now works as a general contractor. He is the proud father of three daughters and is a lifelong music fan.

USS Bon Homme Richard (Admiral George Morrison’s ship):

http://bhr31.com/historyoverview.htm

“In late 1945, the Bon Homme Richard became part of the “Magic Carpet” mission, in which ships carried troops from Guam and other Far East posts to the United States. She returned to San Francisco in October 1945 and after a brief trip to Pearl Harbor, returned to Puget Sound and was inactivated.” […] “The USS Bon Homme Richard was inactive as part of the Pacific reserve fleet for over five years. In 1951, she was activated under the command of Captain Cecil B. Gill. After a few months of training and a shakedown cruise and repairs, the ship joined Task Force 77 to aid troops in the Wonsan area during the Korean Conflict.” […] “She was decommissioned in July of 1971 and later, like most ships from this time period, sold for scrap metal. As an interesting piece of trivia, lead singer of the Doors Jim Morrison’s father, RADM (then Captain) George S. Morrison served as Commanding Officer of this ship from November 23, 1963 to November 25, 1964.”

And from:

http://legacy.utsandiego.com/news/obitu ... rison.html
“He took command of the carrier Bon Homme Richard on Nov. 22, 1963. His first act as skipper was to announce the assassination of President Kennedy.”

Is there anything here?

Larry Eugene Phillips Jr (born September 20, 1970) and Emil Decebal Mătăsăreanu (born July 19, 1966 in Romania) first met at a Gold's Gym in Venice, Los Angeles, California in 1989. They had a mutual interest in weightlifting, bodybuilding and firearms.[6]

On July 20, 1993 the pair robbed an armored car outside of a branch of FirstBank in Littleton, Colorado.[7]

On October 29, 1993, Phillips and Mătăsăreanu were arrested in Glendale, northeast of Los Angeles, California, for speeding.[8] A subsequent search of their vehicle—after Phillips surrendered with a concealed weapon—found two semi-automatic rifles, two handguns, more than 1,600 rounds of 7.62×39mm rifle ammunition, 1,200 rounds of 9×19mm Parabellum and .45 ACP handgun ammunition, radio scanners, smoke bombs, improvised explosive devices, body armor vests, and three different California license plates.[9] Initially charged with conspiracy to commit robbery,[10] both served one hundred days in jail and were placed on three years' probation.[11] After their release, most of their seized property was returned to them.[12]

On June 14, 1995, the pair ambushed a Brinks armored car, killing one guard, Herman Cook, in the robbery. In May 1996, they robbed two branches of Bank of America in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles, CA, stealing approximately US$1.5 million.[13] Phillips and Mătăsăreanu were dubbed the "High Incident Bandits" by investigators due to the weaponry they had used in three robberies prior to their attempt in North Hollywood.[14]

Map of the area around the Bank of America and events during the shoot-out.

On the morning of Friday, February 28, 1997, after months of preparation, including extensive reconnoitering of their intended target—the Bank of America branch located at 6600 Laurel Canyon Boulevard—Phillips and Mătăsăreanu loaded five rifles and approximately 3,300 rounds of ammunition in box and drum magazines into the trunk of their vehicle: two converted fully automatic Norinco Type 56 S rifles, a converted fully automatic Norinco Type 56 S-1, a semi automatic HK-91, and converted fully automatic Bushmaster (M16) XM15 Dissipator.[15] They filled a jam jar with gasoline and placed it in the back seat with the intention of setting the car and weapons on fire to destroy evidence after the robbery. Phillips wore roughly 40 lbs of equipment, including a Type IIIA bulletproof vest and groin guard, a load bearing vest and multiple military canteen pouches for ammunition storage, and several pieces of home made body armor created from spare vests, covering his shins, thighs, and forearms.[16] Mătăsăreanu wore only a Type IIIA bulletproof vest, but included a metal trauma plate to protect vital organs. Additionally, both robbers had sewn watch faces onto the back of their gloves to check their timing inside the bank.[17] Before entering, they took the barbiturate phenobarbital, prescribed to Mătăsăreanu as an anticonvulsant, to calm their nerves.[18]

Probably not. But maybe! Those two names certainly jumped out at me. Littleton and Laurel Canyon. Like how do these two meet up at a gym in LA (where it sounds like they lived), wind up in Littleton, CO and rob a bank and then go back to LA's Laurel Canyon.

I really hate to say it, but I bet I know the reason they were in Littleton besides the one-off bank robbery before they rolled back out of town.

OK. Here's what just occurred to me as I thought about the above and me safe in divulging what I know. I know names and will not mention them. However:

I was friends with a guy who was neighbors with an illegal arms dealer in Littleton. He was friends with said dealer's son. I was told to never speak of this. So, I didn't. I even worked with his daughter at a Subway. I was told that the arms he dealt with were all from "like the old USSR" or something. I always wondered how the fuck did they get that shit shipped all the way to Colorado. My theory is this, given what I know and TOTALLY speculating.

Phillips and Mătăsăreanu were the arms delivery guys for something I may totally have a couple of degrees separation with. They were in Littleton, dropping off a delivery. I mean how many arms dealers in Eastern European/Russian Littleton are there? This kinda sorta answers the question I've always pondered. Now, as to Laurel Canyon, McGowan makes it clear that all those incidents seem to all stem from US military ties.

Just throwing that out there.

Marianne Faithfull says she knows who killed The Doors frontman Jim Morrison.

In an interview with British music mag Mojo, Faithfull, 67, says her drug-dealer boyfriend at the time did Morrison in.

It was the summer of 1971, she says, and she had traveled to France with heroin-dealer-to-the-stars Jean de Breiteuil. De Breiteuil said he was going to visit Morrison, but Faithfull says she felt a strange sense of foreboding, so she stayed at the hotel.

“I could intuitively feel trouble. I thought, I’ll take a few Tuinal and I won’t be there. And he went to see Jim Morrison and killed him. I mean I’m sure it was an accident. Poor bastard. The smack was too strong? Yeah. And he died. And I didn’t know anything about this. Anyway, everybody connected to the death of this poor guy is dead now. Except me.”

Morrison died at age 27. An autopsy was not performed, so the exact cause of death continues to be disputed.

Just for the record an address on Lauren Canyon Blvd doesn't mean the place is in Laurel Canyon. There is a "Laurel Canyon" and the Boulevard runs through the middle of it, but then it extends for many miles through the flats of "the Valley" which is a completely different universe than the actual canyon. In fact the far northern end of Laurel Canyon Blvd is a pretty poverty-stricken Latino and industrial part of Los Angeles.

Eagles Co-Founder Randy Meisner’s Wife Shot to Death
By Nick DeRiso March 7, 2016 9:41 AM


Randy Meisner’s wife was shot to death at the couple’s home, according to multiple news sources, but the founding Eagles bassist has been cleared of all charges.

Authorities now say Lana Rae Meisner was killed on Sunday (March 6) in Studio City, Calif., in a bizarre accident, according to TMZ. Randy Meisner, 69, told police that his wife was shot as she searched for something in the closet, RadarOnline reports.

Law enforcement had been to the Meisner residence earlier in the evening, several news outlets say. Lana Rae Meisner, 63, allegedly called 911 to report a domestic violence incident, according to TMZ, which also claims that she accused Randy Meisner of “acting erratically.” Roughly an hour and a half later, Randy Meisner called to say his wife had gone into another room when he heard a gun shot, according to multiple reports.

RadarOnline quotes an unnamed law enforcement source who describes a grisly scene. According to that source, Meisner told the police that his wife “was stumbling around, looking for something in a closet where there were two guns. She was looking for something in the hall closet, and Randy told cops one of the guns was falling and in the process, Lana Rae caught it and it ended up blowing her head apart.”

TMZ earlier reported that Meisner was “acting in an altered state” when police arrived, and apparently was taken to the hospital. “Randy seemed to be in shock,” Page Six says, “and wasn’t even able to acknowledge that Lana Rae was dead from a gunshot wound.”

The Meisner’s marriage made headlines last spring when Randy Meisner refuted a TMZ story claiming Lana Rae wanted to kill him. She’d been accused in that same report of keeping Randy in a “state of near-constant inebriation” because “he is easier to control when he’s drunk.” Later, in June, Randy was placed under 24-hour care by a temporary conservator following a court hearing in which Meisner was alleged to have threatened to shoot hospital staff and also to end his own life by taking all of his medication.

Meisner left the Eagles in 1977; he was earlier in Poco.

Meisner reminded me of this guy:

Image


In the 1960s, young songwriter and recording savant Brian Wilson (Paul Dano) finds himself in the midst of extraordinary success after scoring numerous hit records with The Beach Boys. Following a panic attack, he resigns from concert touring and ventures into the studio intent on creating "the greatest album ever made", Pet Sounds. Meanwhile, his grip on reality slowly loosens as he attempts to cope with the overwhelming voices in his head. Later, in the 1980s, a middle-aged Wilson (John Cusack) is shown to be a broken, confused man under the pharmacological and legal thrall of his abusive therapist Dr. Eugene Landy (Paul Giamatti). After meeting Wilson, Cadillac saleswoman Melinda Ledbetter (Elizabeth Banks) is determined to save him from Landy's manipulation.[6][7]...
