Join us at the first ever ARC (Alternative Research Community) Convention, which takes place on the 20th and 21st February at the Chapel Arts Centre, in the heart of the city of Bath. Bath has long been an

important meeting place – a gathering of the tribes – due to its healing hot springs and general location. It also happens to be (to quote the simple message I once found written on the back of an antique postcard), “Quite the most beautiful city I’ve yet seen”.   This event will launch Karen Sawyer’s book The Dangerous Man: Conversations with Free-Thinkers and Truth-Seekers – A Collection of Alternative Research. Gathering together some of those featured in the book, we are very excited to present;   GUEST OF HONOUR MICHAEL TSARION   Born in Ireland, Michael Tsarion is an expert on the occult histories of Ireland and America.

Neil’s graphic novel, Kokoro, illustrates the signs of growing global control and how awakening consciousness within us will change our worldview. This inspirational and visual presentation will focus on ancient myths and the oral traditions passed down through art and symbols across the ages through to the present day, encapsulating stories of interdimensional forces, hidden worlds and extraterrestrials, DNA, and how our visionary capabilities help influence the reality we live in.

Website: www.shamanism.co.uk       ANDREW JOHNSON     Chemtrails: The Evidence   In recent years, the issues of supposed ‘Climate Change’ and ‘Global Warming’ have been thrust upon us from all directions. The weather is important to us all, so we should look carefully at the skies, and we should avail ourselves of some facts. Is someone modifying the weather? Can it be true that so many people are blind to something being done in ‘plain sight’? Look at the evidence and decide for yourself. Since 2003, Andrew has given presentations and written and posted a number of articles on various websites about 9/11, Mars, Chemtrails and Anti-gravity research, whilst also challenging some of the authorities to address some of the data he has collected.

There are many different stories as to why the EU was formed and when that was. What is the truth? Who are the hidden rulers behind the throne? What does the symbolism of the EU mean? What will happen under the Lisbon Treaty? Is the EU a stepping stone toward a world government? Is the EU the reemergence of the Holy Roman Empire? Henrik will address some of these questions and talk about the commonalities between the founders and current leaders of the EU. Henrik is a filmmaker, radio host, website editor, musician and researcher from the west coast of Sweden. After 9/11, he developed the passion and dedication to help spread information and research to a larger audience on a wide variety of subject matters, many of which are covered on his hugely popular website Red Ice Creations. He works closely with his brother Fredrik, who is the producer of Red Ice Radio and live webcasts. Henrik also runs Blue Fire Film who recently produced the DVD documentary film series Architects of Control together with researcher Michael Tsarion.
