***UPDATE ON OCT.25, 2012***"Mexican Point of View of Obama´s Presidency", A video posted on youtube on Oct. 1, 2012. Listen carefully on what happened with Spains last two-term Presidency, as well as Mexico's past Presidency.
Author interview from Sep. 30, 2012
God has shown me in the month of August, 2012, that Mexican immigrants who are here as guests or American citizens will help lead our nation back to the U.S. Constitutional ways our founding fathers, the signers of the Declaration of Independence, intended. We've come a long way since then, and I'm not sure if I want to be here when push comes to shove. But in any case, when God guides, God provides. And if God be for you, then who can be against you. God has also shown me that those who are so against Hispanic immigrants are going to be ashamed of themselves, but the shame won't be a problem because as what so often happens when things are right, regardless of any past regrets, the winners leave those regrets behind, and push toward a worthy goal. I have never once thought anything about any particular nationality having anything to do with being of any help concerning improving our nation, as I mentioned above, either. I've spent most of my adult life seeing the problems unfold un-hindered as I was left to struggle for and obtain, very unsuccessfully and slowly, for the most part, the "American Dream that my parents and grandparents seemed to have had given to them on a silver platter, but not before first many thousands dying for, beforehand. And I'll ad that my parents and Grandparent had it extremely rough before tasting any type of wealth. God is going to use Hispanic skilled laborors in all trades, and he's going to use factories run by Hispanics to supply food, as well as many other trades and skills. I assure you I have no relation to anything other than my family, friends and work. All I want to do is work and mind my own business and preach the Gospel as the lord leads, online, church and wherever He sends me. But I try my hardest to resist the garbage online about things people think are patriotic. Alot of mis-informed people are motivated by bigotry and hate, but nothing ever happens right until God guides things, so I'm not worried. All you have to do is see how respectable black Americans and Native Americans are regardless of all they've been through. It's because God ruled their hearts. And I see the same in the Central and South American/Americans too. But now, the cat is out of the bag, and the events God has shown me, that I chose not to reveal to anyone simply because my opinion is that my people really don't care much for the things God shows someone else personally, have been amazingly confirmed by a new friend, Johnny Murillo, in his new book, "Lost In Red Land." I need to stop my own dialogue here, simply because you can get more of it in a much more enjoyable read, through Johnny's new book. I say you can get the same because as I read the book, which I obtained an e-copy of, it was just like reading my own writing. I continuously saw my own thoughts and lessons throughout the book. And if you are familiar with constantly learning deep truths from God Himself regarding all of your lifes lessons, trials and events, you will enjoy this book. I can't tell you what's in it either, other than it confirms what I told you above. Here is the link and a summary of the new book. And I strongly urge everyone who calls herself or himself a Christian, Constitution-loving American, to read this book now. (Clik on the link, not the photo.)

Romans 9:33 As it is written: "See, I lay in Zion a stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame." It's amazing how someone who's been laboring for an organizations core mission and values suddenly paints a broad stroke and accusations after doing what he accuses the organization of doing; only after he gets canned for forgetting how the organization reaches the conclusions that necessitate such a mission and values. This man is dancing to the drum beat of those who demand Christianity change from what God has set forth. Richard Cizic, who was recently asked to leave as V.P of the National Association of Evangelicals, was quoted as saying on the NPR broadcast, "Fresh Air", that he is in favor of birth control, if it avoids abortion. That, I would venture to say, is what ALL of us are in favor of, regardless of faith or social views. But as Christians, and those who are on God's side, must think a little higher. God said to be fruitful and multiply. Refer to the verses in the Bible such as God saying, "I knew you before you were in the womb." And a great deal of other events on how denegrated Hebrew society had evolved into a number of times, including being as reprobate and beastly as to actually offer their children to false gods as fire sacrifices, all of which God detested and ultimately steps in and corrects things much to the dismay of those who dare to defy God, and even those who haven't, possibly dare I say, from their silence and lack of defending the helpless? ( 2 Chronicals 28:1-71. Ahaz was twenty
years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: but
he did not that which was right in the sight of the LORD, like David his father:
2. For he walked in
the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for Baalim. 3. Moreover he
burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the
fire, after the abominations of the heathen whom the LORD had cast out before
the children of Israel. 4. He sacrificed
also and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every
green tree.
5. Why, the LORD his
God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and
carried away a great multitude of them captives, and brought them to Damascus.
And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote him
with a great slaughter. 6. For Pekah the
son of Remaliah slew in Judah an hundred and twenty thousand in one day, which
were all valiant men; because they had forsaken the LORD God of their fathers.
7. And Zichri, a
mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king's son, and Azrikam the governor of
the house, and Elkanah that was next to the king. ) Notice the verses above mentioned that God, was the God of the bad king in Ahaz. Most of us have heard of the National Association of Evangelicals, and what had befallen those who were and are a part of this organization, by a man named Ted Haggard. As quoted in this article link, http://www.beliefnet.com/Faiths/Christianity/2006/11/Ted-Haggard-Frequently-Asked-Questions.aspx , "Before allegations of a three-year relationship with a male prostituee in Denver were made public in November 2006, Haggard was one of the most prominent evangelical leaders in America. He was the founder and pastor of New Life Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado, which had 14,000 members. Haggard rose to national prominence as New Life became one of the most powerful churches in America during the 1990s. In 2003, Haggard was named president of the National Association of Evangelicals, an umbrella group that calls itself the largest evangelical group in America." So, the founder was let go. Now take this quote from Richard Cizik's new book, My Journey Toward the New Evangelicalism, ( http://religionandpolitics.org/2012/09/13/my-journey-toward-the-new-evangelicalism/ ) written by the man who by his own admission, claimed the things he broadcast on a national news interview program, and was soon asked to resign as vice-president for governmental relations at the National Association of Evangelicals in 2008: "Should the NAE be blamed? Arguably, it did what it had to do to preserve its reputation for conservative Christianity. Did it really do the right thing? What message did it send? Inescapably, the message is this: “We are controlled and intimidated by the Religious (that is, Political) Right and will do whatever it takes to avoid their criticism.” " ... We who are evangelicals have allowed ourselves to be co-opted by a pale substitute of the real thing." - Richard Cizic You see what's happening here? Remember the 'drum-beats' I mentioned above? My point is this; how long will the world, and those who the church allow imposters to infiltrate the church, persist? Remember 1 John 2:19,26,2719.They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had
belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that
none of them belonged to us. 26. I am writing these
things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray. 27 As
for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need
anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as
that anointing is real, not counterfeit—just as it has taught you, remain in
him. Also, remember these are the end time situations John wrote about earlier in this same chapter 2, verse 18, before describing who is from us, but not of us: 18. Dear children, this
is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now
many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour. In conclusion, I merely echo the words of John. he gives us the problem AND the solution. see above verses. We must be constantly in prayer and meditation in God's word. Because if we aren't, we become just like what is happening, with the events I just reminded us of. We forget, and succomb to the lies of the enemy, the anti-Christ spirit that seeks to cause us to be led astray, by the cunning arguments that constantly barrage us, the Church. My prayer is that the Church will be ever aware of the wiles of the enemy, as Jesus told His disciples.Because without being equipped with God's Word, and the awareness that comes with the mind of Christ, we are all toast.
I'm not going to use Scripture/verse to back up my writing on this, because this is a no-brainer that is obvious. And I'm not going to post the couple short paragraphs with the carefully worded media statements, that somehow, the media was sattisfied with, except for the examiner.coms version, which ALSO includes those statements as well.
"Lisa Whelchel WROTE about how falling in love with her now-ex took some time and was rather unexpected. Whelchel never felt attracted to him, but she married him to appease her father." - Examiner.com ( http://www.examiner.com/article/lisa-whelchel-s-secret-divorce-before-she-left-for-survivor-philippines )
To me, when one uses the pulpit, church and ministry for writing books, inspirational speaking and conferences encouraging millions of other Christians on how one's marriage is loving and Godly, and there is no apparent reason of anything drastic such as adultery, abuse or so-called abandonement or "spiritual abandonement", and many other pc reasons for divorce, one who "believes in Godly family and marriage" would practice what they preach. I am also divorced, not by my will, but for wrong reasons, but I am absolutely disgusted and hurt (NOT indignant or castigating), on these types of relationships and divorces, and even my own divorce. I wish I had known better then, as I do now.
My divorce was probably the worst pain I will ever have to suffer in my life. It hurts me deeply, but this celebrity divorce is now merely on the long list of things that are WRONG WRONG WRONG. We must warn our children, colleagues and brothers and sisters in Christ to THINK THINK THINK things through. WRONG is WRONG no matter what color one wants to paint it.
Why can't so many people say wrong without having a seizure? Divorce is WRONG. WRONG; not to be confused with BONG or GONG.
Biblically, as the Examiner has reported this divorce, supposing it's true, is BIBLICALLY wrong. And those who got married in a church, and yet don't subscribe to Biblical definitions of a permissible divorce, are WRONG too. With all judgementalism or castigating aside, it is true that we must stop using God's name in vain by marrying in church if we have no interest in God's thoughts of marriage and divorce. And with all that said, I need to also say that there may be some more valid reasons for Lisa Welchel's divorce, but she chose not to disclose them. And she has that right to her privacy. But the important thing in my writing this, is that we all need to think things through before making big decisions such as marriage, and for goodness sake, make extra effort to know eachother well and to make a continuous effort to remain in love. We can do this.
Well, it's 1:21 AM Pacific time Sunday morning now, and I bid you all a good night (good morning).
***UPDATE*** Sep. 20, 2012 A well-known American Pastor is requesting 40 days of prayer for us to have a different President than our current one. I am joining the prayer, and hope my readers will do so as well. And I am adding that specifically, we must pray for those 538 member of the Electoral College, who actually decide who the next President will be. Election day is Monday, Nov 12, 2012 and currently about 54 days until elections. So please keep your thoughts on God and prayers toward a return to our U.S. Constitution and a vibrant, healthy and prosperous nation, and more Godly than ever before. And if you dodn't get this update during the time the parayer call started, it doesn't matter. Just begin on your own time. Thank you. Hebrews 3:1 Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the
Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
Each Presidential election brings the same alarm and dismay, when it comes to our votes. Take this section of a wikipedia explanation of the Electoral College: The merits of the Electoral College are controversial. A 2001 Gallup article noted that "a majority of Americans have continually expressed support for the notion of an official amendment of the U.S. Constitution that would allow for direct election of the president" since one of the first-ever public polls on the matter in 1944, and Gallup found no significant change in 2004.[4][5] Critics argue that the Electoral College is archaic, inherently undemocratic and gives certain swing states disproportionate influence in selecting the President and Vice President. Proponents argue that the Electoral College is an important, distinguishing feature of federalism in the United States and that it protects the rights of smaller states. Numerous constitutional amendments have been introduced in the Congress seeking to alter the Electoral College or replace it with a direct popular vote; however, no proposal has ever passed the Congress. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_vote
Map Electoral College2012 2016 and 2020 Since 1964, there have been 538 electors in each Presidential election. How many people are casting the Presidential vote for you, in YOUR state?
Remember the last elections where the popular vote did not decide the next President? It was between Al Gore and George W. Bush the younger, before his first term. But make no mistake; Al Gore would not have been there had our nation had an ammendment that alows for a direct popular vote, as it is with all other elections, including the Senate.
Here's another section of a recent article: At least three Republican Electoral College members say they might not vote for Romney should he carry that state in November. Ken Eastman told The Associated Press this week that he is exploring his options because he is “pretty disgusted” with the Republican Party and the way it worked to “suppress Paul’s grassroots movement.” ( Sep 13, 2012 http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/2012/09/13/elections-2012-is-gary-johnson-the-new-ron-paul-134006 .) And for a listing to the current Presidential candidates, here is a link: http://2012.presidential-candidates.org/ .
So when it comes to the popular Presidential votes in America, how have we fared in prior election? Take this passage from yet another wikipedia article:The United States presidential election of 1876 was one of the most disputed and controversial presidential elections in American history. Samuel J. Tilden of New York outpolled Ohio's Rutherford B. Hayes in the popular vote, and had 184 electoral votes to Hayes's 165, with 20 votes uncounted. These 20 electoral votes were in dispute in three states: Florida, Louisiana, and South Carolina; each party reported its candidate had won the state, while in Oregon one elector was declared illegal (as an "elected or appointed official") and replaced. The 20 disputed electoral votes were ultimately awarded to Hayes after a bitter legal and political battle, giving him the victory...This was the first presidential election in 24 years in which the Democratic candidate won a majority of the popular vote. This was also the first, and so far only, election in the history of the United States in which a candidate received an absolute majority of the popular vote (more than 50 percent) and was not elected President by the Electoral College, and one of only four elections in which the person receiving a plurality of the popular vote lost the electoral vote.
How many Presidential candidateswon the election, but lost the popular vote? The answer is not many, (four, to be exact), but the count seems to have been kicked up a notch at the very last year of last century, in the year 2000. (Yes, 2001 is the first year of the 21st century.) The list is, John Quincy Adams 1824 (elected by Congress) over Andrew Jackson Rutherford B Hayes 1876 (declared the Electoral College winner by an Electoral (Commission) over Samuel J Tilden. Benjamin Harrison 1888 over Grover Cleveland. And George W Bush 2000 (After disputed Florida electors awarded to him by Supreme Court Ruling) over Albert Gore. When it comes to our Presidential votes, it seems we as voters are faced with the choices of either vote or not vote, with Romney being the better choice, but not one with pure Constitutional qualities. But in light of all the above mentioned, when it comes to voting for President, it is not only permissable to vote your conscience and not be responsible for who actually gets elected, rather, many others, myself included, believe one should ALWAYS vote their conscience even if our popular vote DOES count to who gets elected. Otherwise, if the popular sentiment is one of, or the only thing you consider as to who gets your vote, your conscience is either seared, or you have none. ( The New Testament speaks of the end times when people's consciences will be seared: 1 Tomothy 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; )
Ever since Reagan, the Bush's, Clinton and Obama, we have had no pure Constitutional choice. Reagan was no angel either. Unless God sees fit to have a pure Constitutional choice, we are getting ever closer to the destruction of our Constitutional government as we know it. It is not the Church's, or the rest of American voters' fault. We are simply deceived, mixed with those who actually don't understand, or those who do understand. We are faced with replacing the most evil President we've ever had, with one who has more Constitutional values than we currently have. But until we get a direct popular voting ability, we will continually see the "acceptable" and "ellectable" candidates manipulated straight to the top, against the will of "we the people."
In concluding, I urge everyone to vote your conscience for another reason, regardless of who wins the e2012 Presidential election, it is our, we the peoples, votes, that will be counted, and serve as proof of what the citizens truly want, instead of who the "masters of the universe", or whoever you want to call them, give to us, regardless of how much we resent and disagree.
Stay thirsty my friend. And vote well.
UPDATE Jan 28, 2016) It just ain't stopping. Jerry is back with the MDA! Before reading the article update, here's what I just found a few days ago. What a find! And THREE days before the news broke on Jerry Lewis' return to the MDA! Wow! Really feels I am on the right track! Enjoy
I found it! Oct 26, 1996 ticket stub, newspaper clip, ball card and me standing in front of the Pantages! And that little blue stub is actually my stub from the World Trade buildings to the top view about 1993 shortly after the first explosions.
Call it an encore performance for a show that lasted 61 years.
Jerry Lewis is back as a spokesman on behalf of the Muscular Dystrophy Association, having recorded a video in support of the MDA’s new logo and tagline. The clip is to be used in a formal unveiling of the MDA logo and its new motto, “For Strength, Independence & Life,” during an event Friday at Carnegie Hall in New York.
Lewis is not attending the party, which will be webcast on the MDA website (MDA.org) at 9:30 a.m. Friday. Those scheduled to appear are “Today” host Natalie Morales, TNT sportscaster Ernie Johnson, “Small Town Big Deal” host Jann Carl and Jordan Smith, Season 9 winner of “The Voice.”
The video statement marks the first appearance by Lewis in support of the MDA since September 2010, when he closed the Jerry Lewis Labor Day Telethon with a wrenching rendition of “You’ll Never Walk Alone.”
The following May, the MDA announced that the show would be shortened to a six-hour production, from 21 1/2 hours. In August 2011, the MDA made another formal declaration — that Lewis was no longer going to host the telecast nor serve in any capacity for the organization.
Lewis had famously feuded with Gerald C. Weinberg, the longtime MDA president and CEO, who stepped down in December 2011. Though the organization said Lewis “resigned” his post, it was evident that he was forced out, and he has gone on to raise money and awareness for the Muscular Dystrophy Foundation in Australia, a group unrelated to the MDA.
In August 2014, in a ceremony at the Smith Center for the Performing Arts, Australian officials presented Lewis with its Member of the Order of Australia, the highest award bestowed on a civilian by that country.
Back in the States, a new regime has allowed Lewis to reconsider his formal support of the MDA. He spent 61 years with the organization and helped raise more than $2 billion in his groundbreaking run as host of the event, which was televised nationally beginning in 1966.
In that time, the telethon became an annual TV tradition with an array of celebrities contributing their time and talent. The 1976 telethon at the Sahara marked the moment when Lewis was reunited with his legendary performing partner Dean Martin, an event orchestrated by Martin.
More recently, the telethon was cut to six hours for the 2011 telecast (retitled “Show of Strength”), then reduced to three hours from 2012-2014. MDA announced last year that it would discontinue the broadcast to investigate more contemporary means of fundraising (especially by using online and social media platforms), and Lewis never did appear once last time to say goodbye.
But a change in regime led to a change in Lewis’ recent relationship with the MDA.
“They had reached me a couple of times about this, and we recorded it about two months ago, I think it was,” Lewis said today during a phone chat. “I did it because the new head man (MDA President Steven M. Derks) is a very nice guy.”
In the video, Lewis looks into the camera and says, “I think it’s great that the MDA has a new look and tagline. We’ve got to keep giving strength, independence and life to all the kids and adults who are fighting muscular dystrophy and related life-threatening diseases.”
It’s a message he delivered, impassionedly, throughout his history with the MDA. Asked if this collaboration would lead to any future, formal endorsements of the MDA, Lewis chuckled and said, “No, I gave it 61 years. … But I am happy to have done this.”
Lewis is approaching his 90th birthday, which is March 16. He continues to perform one-off shows across the country, retelling his story with a boost from film and TV clips and home movies from his personal collection. Last Friday, he was at Sharon L. Morse Performing Arts Center at the Villages in Orlando, Fla.
How was it?
“It was great — 2,700 screaming people,” Lewis said. “I was supposed to do an hour and 20 minutes, and I wound up staying for two hours and 30 minutes. I couldn’t get enough of it.”
I'm sure it's a very brilliant film and it's so sad and extremely profound that he can't even watch it and feels the world can not handle how rivetting it is. Any speculation that it was bad twisted humor is rediculous. There has never been another Johnathan Swift and never will be. And Jerry Lewis will have the same effect but on a modern level. Critics just don't get it. Good article too. I wrote a blog about JL a few years ago and it was short also. There's so much about him but impossible to write an interesting lengthy ariticle at one time, because it's just impossible, unless one wants to research everything else that's already been written about him. So good job for Sara Ivry, who wrote the below article from her website, "Tablet The Scroll" on keeping it brief. Long articles are usually just a bunch of flattery and too many words anyway. That's my 2 cents. So enjoy the latest.
Details Emerge About Jerry Lewis' Unreleased Holocaust Film
The BBC released a short documentary about, 'The Day The Clown Cried,' a film the legendary comedian has called 'embarrassing'.
By: Sara Ivry
There’s a sort of louche, menacing quality about Jerry Lewis—I’ve always thought so, anyway. Maybe it’s the tan or the bada-bing pinkie ring, or the warmth he seemed unwilling to summon even while hosting a telethon for muscular dystrophy. I found Lewis’ nasal parodic voice irksome and repellent. And his appeal—here in the U.S., or in France—has always perplexed me. I could never stand The Nutty Professor; the only film of his I’ve ever enjoyed is The King of Comedy and that’s partly because he plays a balls-out asshole, or perhaps he’s not “playing at all,” which is part of what makes that film so riveting.
Why speak of Jerry Lewis now, you ask? Because the BBC has just released a short documentary about Lewis’ never-seen 1970 Holocaust film The Day the Clown Cried. Lewis flew to Sweden to shoot the feature, and when he was finished he took the reels with him back to the United States but never released the film. When asked about it, Lewis has asserted he would never screen it because it’s “bad, bad, bad.”
The BBC mini-documentary, The Story of the Day the Clown Cried, features stills from the film and show Lewis with a red nose and painted clown make-up in front of would-be barracks where he is directing would-be Nazis played by Swedish actors. Various Swedes are interviewed about the shoot and production. We learn that Lewis worked on this project for a decade before filming commenced. We find out that some actors never got paid. We’re told that Lewis gave reels of all his films, includingThe Day the Clown Died, to the Library of Congress with the caveat the institution is forbidden to screen the film until 2025 at the earliest.
And we’re treated to a single tidbit of fascinating trivia: While in Sweden, Lewis never laundered his drawers or socks—he simply threw them away after a single wear. One—by which I mean, me—wonders if that is a lifelong habit and where that kind of behavior came from.
Against the improbable background music of Massive Attack, the documentary’s host, British comedian David Schneider (himself the son of a Holocaust survivor) ruminates on the question of whether one can make comedy out of such tragedy, and if that’s what Lewis was trying to do. There’s no way to know, really, if the film was supposed to be comedy, or have comedic elements, so it’s a bit of goose-chase speculation.
Nevertheless, the query reminded me of a gutting joke the British writer Howard Jacobson included in his fantastic novel Kalooki Nights, which I read years ago: What’s the difference between a Jew and a pizza? A pizza doesn’t scream when you stick it in the oven. That’s the kind of joke (you) never forget. Which begs Schneider’s question: Is it appropriate to make entertainment out of this genocide? Beyond appropriate, is it possible? Fans of The Producers might say yes. That Lewis has refused to make the film public suggests a different answer.
Jerry Lewis Fired By MDA Corporate Following Presentation Of A New Cure? By: Michael D. Tobin
I believe in giving credit where credit is due. This is a subject very close to my heart, because at 48 yrs old, I remember as far as I can remember, watching as many hours of each telethon as I possibly can. Finally, in 1997, I had the good fortune to attend Jerry Lewis' first Broadway show at the Pantagus Theater in Los Angeles, he has ever done; a re-make of "Damned Yankees", which Mr. Lewis was extremely proud of, because in his heart, Broadway was the top of the mountain, when it comes to acting, and he had finally done it. He was only 72 years old at the time. I had the opportunity for a meet and greet after the show. So instead of asking for a photo-op, I just wanted to shake his hand, which he qraciously allowed, and I also gave him a compliment, rather than a question. But to my amazement, during the intermission, and after the show, Jerry Lewis had his actors stand at the doorways to the lobby, holding KFC style buckets for donations to MDA. It was then that I was faced with a realization that this man who I admired all my life, is more serious about what he does than most anybody I ever knew, know, or will know, about what they do. So with that, let's move forward.
With the myriad of articles and readers comments overwhelmingly in support of Jerry Lewis, who have perfect knowledge, when they actually use their ability to research, of an opposition who demands tolerance and forgiveness, yet in reality, spews out more hatred than in all the earths years of existence, one would be amazed that it took a year from Jerry Lewis' first year in 59 years last year, 2011, to have actually smelled the coffee. (Sorry. that was a difficult sentence to structure).
Following is info I had gleaned off the web, and compiled it just for you, the reader. I first saught to create an article of my own research, but to my surprise, what was available was adequate and plenteous. But my hope is that you ran into this first, and then you can search some more if you don't feel sattisfied yet.And at the bottom, is a video I hope will remain on youtube forever, of Mr. Lewis' last MDA appearance. Mr. Lewis, if you are reading this, I hope somehow you may return, and for some miracle, the rest of your time with us can be as happy as all you have done in your theater, television, big screen and live performances through the decades.
Lots of people know what really happened. Jerry Lewis was presented with evidence that MDA “research” is a fraud, there is no cure except for the one Dr Joel Wallach found, through diet. I think he even won a medical award for it. He sent the test results to Jerry Lewis. Jerry, being a sincere human being, genuinely interested in MDA victims, presented it to his charity. I think it was obvious, by their reaction, to everyone, that they were not interested in any real cure. Most of these large charities, Koman included, are giant frauds with people feeding off the sickness of others. Demented megabucks." - tropicgirl
Isn't that an interesting readers comment from the article I attached the url address too? Now, here is some back-up material to the readers claim, that I found by websearching Dr. Wallachs name connected to MD cure Jerry Lewis. And not surprising, is that among many other subjects, as some of you may be aware of, all mainstream media outlets literally refuse certain topics, yet exploit quite a few others, and for very obvious reasons. So this is the only major independent newswire I found an article containing this subject, and the rest is part of various message boards. Here is the article:
A time-honored tradition, every labor day (for 45 years of my life), people from all over the world would watch the Jerry Lewis Muscular Dystrophy Telethon. The guest line up were always filled with great television and movie stars, singers and comics. Before we had 24 hour television, it was also the only station airing for 24 hours. So it was a treat for a night owl, like myself, to be able to watch all the talented acts throughout the night. I even called in a few times and donated.
In the 59 years Jerry Lewis was the MDA chairman, he grossed $2.5 billion dollars for them–yes, that is BILLION with a B. I often wondered, in all those years why I really never heard about any cures for these poor children. Surely all the billions poured into the non-profit organization and the science and technology behind it, in 60 years, you would think that Muscular Dystrophy would have some cures?
Upon listening to a pod cast of Dead Doctors Don’t Lie, I heard Dr. Joel Wallach mention that he gave data to Mr. Lewis with regards to eliminating Muscular Dystrophy–Listen to the pod cast
It appears that Mr. Lewis gave this data to the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA), and directly after giving this data, Mr. Lewis was fired as the National Chairman. If there is a cure, as Dr. Wallach has suggested, it would appear that the MDA would have a lot to lose if Mr. Lewis went on air and happened to say something about Dr. Wallach’s findings. Dr. Wallach has been treating children with Cystic Fibrosis and Muscular Dystrophy for 60 years with vitamins, minerals and essential amino acids and having great results. Can it really be that simple, as nutritional deficiencies? E-online tried to immediate put a spin on this firing, inferring that the MDA’s decision to release Mr. Lewis as National Chairman was because of his disparaging comments he made about American Idol.
