“Limits exist only in the souls of those who do not dream”
Philippe Petit

August 7, 1974 – Philippe Petit is a French high-wire artist who gained fame for his high-wire walk between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, on the morning of August 7, 1974, as well as his high-wire walk between the towers of Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris on June 26, 1971.

For his unauthorized NYC feat 417 metres (1,368 feet) above the ground – which he referred to as “le coup” – he rigged a 200-kilogram (440-pound) cable and used a custom-made 8-metre (30-foot) long, 25-kilogram (55-pound) balancing pole. He performed for 45 minutes, making eight passes along the wire. The following week, he celebrated his 25th birthday. All charges were dismissed in exchange for him doing a performance in Central Park for children.

Philippe Petit is also known for his film work on:
The Walk (2015), Man on Wire (2008) and Mondo (1995).

From 1971 to 1975, I attended the oldest Catholic High School in the United States, La Salle Academy, in the Bowery section of Manhattan. While there, I was on the varsity track team. Many of our runs were down to Battery Park (the Southernmost tip of Manhattan). On them, we would go right by the still being built World Trade Center complex. This area was known for the gusty and swirling winds coming off New York Harbor. I can only imagine what the winds were like being 1,368 feet up walking a high-wire. For this reason, when I heard of Philippe Petit doing this on August 7, 1974, I couldn’t believe it.

Bravo Philippe Petit.

John Lennon was the greatest singer-songwriter and the most influential political artist of the twentieth century. He was assassinated on Monday, December 8, 1980, walking into the Dakota, his home on the upper West side of Manhattan, New York City. I was at the Dakota for nine hours that fateful night. I created this documentary to honor John. Strawberry Fields: Keeping The Spirit Of John Lennon Alive (Film) (1:22:08) Producer | Writer | Director: Mark R.

------------- Abortion -------------- ----------- by Mark R. Elsis ----------- Thou shalt not kill. Is there something people don't understand about the Sixth Commandment? I do not believe in government-sanctioned killing, whether it be abortion, capital punishment, or being drafted into a war. There have been about 70,000,000 abortions in the United States, since the despicable Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision on January 22, 1973, that approved this genocidal mass murder, called infanticide. Perhaps we should have informative sexual education classes for teenagers, and contraceptives for all. Perhaps people should live up to their obligations, instead of using abortion as an easy way out. Because abortion not only murders the fetus who has no say in the matter, but also does significant psychological harm to the mother, and many times for the father too. And now we have added two new demonic lows to this most horrific act of abortion, Planned Parenthood has been caught selling baby parts from the abortions they provide, and eight states have no gestational limits on abortion, they are: Alaska, Colorado, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, and Vermont, along with Washington, D.C. If one wants to know when the United States lost its way, and turned into a completely immoral country, it was on Monday, January 22, 1973.

"The USS Liberty was repeatedly attacked while in international waters by Israeli air and naval forces on June 8, 1967. The horrific result of this unprovoked attack by the Jewish state was that 34 Americans were murdered, and 174 were wounded. Then there was a complete cover-up of this premeditated mass murder, and for the first time in our history, there wasn't any retaliation against Israel for committing this act of war. And people naively still think we aren't owned by these deadly parasites." Mark R. Elsis

James Forrestal was of Irish Catholic origin like the Kennedy’s and was close to JFK’s father. Both James Forrestal and Joseph Kennedy are examples of American patriots of Irish stock who were alarmed by Jewish influence over American foreign policy. The entry for December 27, 1945, in James Forrestal’s edited diary states: “Played golf with Joe Kennedy. I asked him about his conversations with Roosevelt and Neville Chamberlain from 1938 on. […] Chamberlain, he says, stated that America and the world Jews had forced England into the war.”
