Study in China

1981     A short while ago we had the pleasure of talking to noted assassination/conspiracy researcher Mae Brussell at her home in Carmel, California. Mae was kind enough to share some of her thoughts on the murder of John Lennon last December 8, 1980 in New York City. She is just starting her 11th year of broadcasting on radio KLRB, Carmel, CA. Tom Davis *************************************** Tom: What would be the motive to kill John Lennon on December 8, 1980? Lennon had been in seclusion for many years and had not yet released his new album. Mae: Both the date of Lennon's murder, and the careful selection of this particular victim are very important.

This wedding was all kinds of wonderful ~ intimate and creative, laid back and fun, and lovingly hand and home made from the ground up. (If you missed Part 1, I highly recommend you check it out.) Elsbeth and Chris decorated their barn in Fife, Scotland, with a Japanese ‘zakka’ theme which resulted in an eclectic mix of rustic, cute, colourful and kitch DIY decor. Elsbeth said: We decorated old jars and bottles to serve as centrepieces. We put candles in some, wild flowers in others. There were SO many bottles!

During a brief break in the rain, Zoe of Ph...
