American Express The Members Project, Opening to the Infinite, A Father’s Story, and more…

The Members Project. Please consider supporting my Members Project! My submission to the American Express “The Members Project,” titled "POSITIVE TRANSFORMATION OF FEMALE GENITAL CUTTING" (Project ID# 4664) has been approved and posted to The Members Project (SM). Each project description is limited to 1000 words, so all projects are concise and not fully detailed. What is The Members Project? The Members Project is an innovative new initiative that gives American Express Card members the chance to dream up, and ultimately unite behind, one idea that will have a positive impact in the world around us. American Express will fund the winning idea with up to $5 million. On July 3, an Advisory Panel will get together with American Express and announce the Top 50 projects. http://www.membersproject.com.

Opening To The Infinite. My dear friend Stephan A. Schwartz (http://www.stephanaschwartz.com/) has just published a new book, “Opening to the Infinite.” Stephan’s life has been spent exploring extraordinary human functioning, and how individuals and small groups can, and have, affected social change.

Stephan has done this both as an experimentalist in parapsychology, and by being privileged to have been a part of several major social transformations: civil rights in the 1960s, the transformation of the military from an elitist conscription organization to an all-voluntary meritocracy in the 70s, and citizen diplomacy between the United States and the Soviet Union in the 80s and 90s. Both the experiences and the research have convinced Stephan that all life is inter-connected and interdependent. He has written extensively on Remote Viewing and Archaeology, Anthropology, Medicine and Healing, Creativity, and Social Policy. Stephan also runs a brilliant and informative daily news service Schwartzreport.

A Father’s Story. Jeffrey Dahmer appeared on a two hour program called “Confessions of a Serial Killer” that recently re-aired. Jeffrey’s father, Lionel, had written a book, “A Father’s Story,” and was there supporting the son he says he loves. I found Lionel’s book at the library. Lionel blames himself and Jeffrey’s mother, Joyce. He thinks he transferred a negative gene to his son. Joyce was a distant mother who took medications through her pregnancy. Did they know? Absolutely not!

It’s strange that after Lionel and Joyce’s bitter divorce, in the summer of 1978, Jeffrey committed his first murder in the house. In August of that year, Joyce and her other son Dave, disappeared leaving Jeffrey. It took Lionel years to find them. They went into hiding. What frightened Joyce?

Lionel and his girlfriend moved into the empty house and quickly shipped Jeffrey off to his grandmother’s house! Lionel tried everything to get rid of Jeffrey. He insisted he go to college, then the military. Discharged for being repeatedly drunk, Jeffrey was once again dumped off on his grandmother. He managed to kill three people while staying at his grandmother's house. She found a mannequin in his closet and a gun under his bed. She also noticed odd smells coming from the basement. Jeffrey kept getting arrested. First, for exposing himself at a state fair and, four years later, for masturbating in public in front of two young boys. He served 10 months in prison.

His grandmother decided to kick him out for good in 1988 because of Dahmer's drunkenness and because of unpleasant orders in the basement. In 1988 he was arrested for sexually fondling a 13-year-old boy.

All this, and no one close to Jeffrey had a clue what he was doing.

Joyce Dahmer was briefly interviewed on the program. Briefly, since she was mulling over doing her own book. She was angry Lionel blamed her and mad people were calling her “Monster Maker.”

Jeffrey Dahmer mutilated 17 young men and photographed them. The photos are on the internet.

A New Phrase Emerges. Dennis Quaid has confirmed he and young wife Kimberley will be parents to both a son and a daughter when their twins’ “gestational carrier” gives birth later in the year. Speaking at a charity event in Austin on Saturday, Dennis said: “We finally know the sexes of these sweet little children coming into the world - we’ve seen pictures of them. One of them was a boy and one of them was a girl. We are both so thrilled and excited. This is something we’ve wanted for some time.” Fametastic » Celebrating Celebrity Gossip. They also let the media know they are the biological parents that just rented a womb for nine months.

Who’s My Daddy? In my first TDH column on July 18, 2005, I said: “No matter what Planet Earth is compelled to accept, I see the bald fact that Prince Harry looks just like Diana’s lover James Hewitt. Sorry, but Prince Harry is not carrying any Windsor DNA.” Well, now www.TMZ.com  has a story: Prince Harry: Who's My Daddy?!

www.TMZ.com  posted this: “For years, rumors have swirled questioning the paternity of Great Britain's Prince Harry. Red hair say what?

“While reports have always suggested that Diana's flame-haired ex-lover, James Hewitt (left), may be the late Princess' real baby daddy, author Christopher Anderson claims in his new book "After Diana," that now Harry (center) himself wants to take a DNA test to put the rumors to rest. Over the Queen's dead body! Although Harry and Hewitt both share a Carrot Top likeness, it should be noted that Diana's brother, Earl Spencer (right), is also a redhead. So there is some red in Diana's blue blood! Should Harry decide to go ahead and take a DNA test against the Queen's wishes, he might want to stay out of Parisian tunnels.”
