It is with great regret that I have to advise that John Harris didn't simply 'pull out' the Alternative View, he failed to honour his agreement to appear. We have still not received any communication from John Harris advising of his withdrawal from AV3!John Harris pulled out of this weekend just gone's Alternative View conference - turning down the opportunity to speak to an audience of several hundred - citing the reason that he felt people were being charged too much for entry. Despite the fact that entry fees were reduced in the weeks running up to the event and that it was priced from the start at the same level as previous AV's. This left the event organisers in a difficult position.
According to Tony, John Harris stated that he failed to show because, "... people were being charged too much for entry." If this is the case, it would seem that John's 'Freeman of the Land' concept does not extend to respecting the freewill of the individual to decide whether or not they wish to attend a particular event.
If Cynthia McKinney can fly in from Atlanta (having given presentations in Libya and Malaysia in the previous two weeks), Dr Leonid Sharashkin from Siberia, Greg Nickolettos from Brisbane and Norman Baker MP can catch the night sleeper down from Edinburgh (where he was speaking the previous evening), arriving in Bristol at 9.30am and be on Platform at 10.15am, I cannot conceive of any valid reason why John Harris should be a 'no show'! If he was sick or involved in an automobile accident, I'm sure we would have heard by now!
John White makes the following observervation about John Harris:
This is an interesting observation as there is a disturbing common denominator between David Shayler and John Harris. John has recently been accompanied by the very same individual who I hold responsible for accelerating David Shayler's descent into 'Messiahdom'. Is the pattern about to be repeated?... in general he comes across as someone who has suffered the "guru" effect to a certain effect(sic)
Whatever the situation with John Harris, the prognosis does not bode well whilst he maintains any association with Shayler's past supplier of hallucinagenics .
The individual to whom I refer attended AV1 but his behaviour at that event 'freaked' Dr Robert Verkerk, Chief Executive of the Alliance for Natural Health. So much so that Dr Verkerk felt compelled to check out his claim to be a 'Doctor'.
This same individual has also finagled his way into bbctv5, taking advantage of Adrian Cannock's absence from the UK. Which is why I have refused bbctv5 access to both AV2 & AV3. I wish Adrian well in his endeavour to regain control of bbctv5.
John Harris will no doubt attempt to justify his 'non-appearance' at some juncture and in the grand scheme of things, it's not a big deal. I am actually far more concerned about alerting others to the insidious behaviour of the Doctor.
The Doctor to whom I have referred is either a very sad, lonely individual who feels the need to bask in the reflected limelight of the latest 'alternative guru' ... or something far more sinister!

Note: Dr Verkerk established that the individual to whom I refer above was indeed a qualified medical practioner but had allowed his membership of the GMC to lapse.
Tony Gosling is not correct in his statement that prices were reduced in the run up to the event. Although the venue was not full to capacity, the event had sold out of all 125 hotel rooms allocated to AV3. A number of late registrants were forced to seek accommodation at other nearby hotels.
Although I have posted this elsewhere, I believe it to be worthy of a separate thread.
this really does expose what the perps are up to.
