The First Champion To Arrive In Nome Alaska

(March 1973) Dick Wilmarth was surrounded by a huge crowd in Nome Alaska after completing the journey in 20 days, 49 minutes, 41 seconds.

Iditarod Historical Documentary Nears Completion

It was one of the greatest moments in Dick Wilmarth's life.  He had done the impossible; traveled from Anchorage to Nome Alaska on the runners of a sled powered by Alaskan huskies.  He wasn't alone, others would follow, but Dick Wilmarth was the first to arrive making him the first Iditarod Champion back in 1973. Wilmarth was mobbed by race fans who witnessed this first on Front Street.  The finish line was a simple Kool-Aid red line that designated the end of the trail for Wilmarth and his team.  The EMMY Award Winning Iditarod Insider team spent time with Wilmarth and more than fifty other Iditarod interviewees compiling the most comprehensive historical documentary in the 37 year history of "The Last Great Race on Earth."

"The History of The Iditarod" is a 90 minute documentary set to be released in late November 2009.  The documentary combines hundreds of photos, film, video, and real life accounts of the early days of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.  It bridges those early days to what is now one of the greatest extreme competitions on the planet! It's a definite "must see"!!!  The Insider will soon be releasing a trailer of the project on www.iditarod.com along with more information about the documentary… so stay tuned!

2010 IditaRider Auction Is Just Days Away

The 2010 IditaRider Auction will open November 1st with opportunity to bid on the sled of your choice for the ride of your life! Experience the thrill of being one with the team of some of the worlds' finest athletes as you ride through downtown Anchorage in an Iditarod sled.

Now 'all Guns' must be listed on your next (2010) tax return!


 Subject: True per Snopes http://www.snopes.com/politics/guns/blairholt.asp

 Now 'all Guns' must be listed on your next (2010) tax return!

 As if we didnt have enough to get upset about!If  you have a gun, I hope it isn't registered! Senate Bill SB-2099 will require us to put on our 2009 1040 federal tax form all guns that you have or own. It will require fingerprints and a tax of $50 per gun.






 This bill was introduced on Feb.. 24, 2009, by the Obama staff. BUT
 . . this bill will only become public knowledge 30 days after the new law becomes effective !
 This is an amendment to the Internal Revenue Act o f 1986. This means
 that the Finance Committee has passed this without the
 Senate voting on it at all. Trust Obama ? ......
 you must be kidding !

 The full text of the IRS amendment is on the U.S. Senate homepage,
 U.S. Senate You can find the bill by doing a search by the bill number,
 SB-2099.
 You know who to call; I strongly suggest you do. Please send a
 copy of this e-mail to every gun owner you know.

 Text
 of H.R.45 as Introduced in House: Blair Holt's Firearm
 Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009 - U.S....
 OpenCongress

 Obama's
 Congress is now starting on the firearms confiscation bill.
 If it passes, gun owners will become criminals if you don't fully comply.

 It has begun ... Whatever Obama's secret Master Plan
 is...this is just the 'tip of the iceburg!'

 Very Important for you to be aware of a new bill HR 45 introduced
 into the House. This is the Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sale Act of 2009.

 Even gun shop owners didn't know about this because the
 government is trying to fly it under the radar as a 'minor' IRS revision, and, as usual, the
 'political' lawmakers did not read this bill before signing and approving it !

 To find out about this - go to any government website and type
 in HR 45 or Google HR 45 Blair Holt Firearm Licensing & Record of Sales Act of 2009. You will get all the information.

 Basically this would make it illegal to own a firearm - any rifle with
 a clip or ANY pistol unless:

 -It is registered -You are fingerprinted -You supply a current Driver's License -You supply your Social Security # -You will submit to a physical & mental evaluation at any
 time of their choosing -Each update - change or ownership
 through private or public sale must be reported and costs
 $25 - Failure to do so you automatically lose the right to
 own a firearm and are subject up to a year in jail. -There
 is a child provision clause on page 16 section 305 stating a
 child-access provision. Gun must be locked and inaccessible
 to any child under 18. -They would have the right to come
 and inspect that you are storing your gun safely away from
 accessibility to children and fine is punishable for up to 5 yrs. in prison.

 If you think this is a joke - go to the website and take your
 pick of many options to read this. It is lengthy. But, more and more people are becoming aware of this. Pass the word along. Any hunters in your family pass this along. This is just a "termite" approach to complete confiscation of guns and disarming of our society to the point we have no defense - chip away a little here and there until the goal is accomplished before anyone realizes it. This is one to act on whether you own a gun or not..Search Results - THOMAS (Library of Congress) :


H.R.45:Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act of 2009 - U.S. Congress - OpenCongress

H.R. 45: Blair Holt's Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale
 Act of 2009 (GovTrack.us)


 Please.. copy and send this out to EVERYONE in the USA , whether you support the Right to Bear Arms or are for gun control. We all should have the right to choose.

2010 IDITAROD TALENT POOL IS DEEP

It's shaping up to be one of the deepest fields in Iditarod Race History, with ten mushers representing Canada, Italy, the United Kingdom and Jamaica already entered in this year's race.  Top that off with a field that includes fourteen top ten finishers and four Iditarod Champions (including three-peat champion Lance Mackey, four time champions Jeff King and Martin Buser and 2004 champion Mitch Seavey) and this year's race is already causing many Iditarod fans to smack their lips with excitement.  There are now sixty two mushers signed up for IDITAROD XXXVIII. Nearly a third of the field (20) is made up of rookies, including Jamaica's Newton Marshall, and Scotland's Wattie MacDonald.  Will 2010 be the year that Mackey shatters the record books with a fourth straight win? Will King or Buser pierce the void and tie Rick Swenson's five championships? Will it be the year for Mitch or son Dallas Seavey to take the crown.  So many what ifs! Can't wait for March 6th 2010 to get here! To find out more about the entire IDITAROD XXXVIII field click here.

Iditarod Begins Production of New Documentary

The Iditarod Trail Committee is in the development stages of producing a documentary that depicts the rich history of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race.  Part of the development process is looking for old photos and video of past races.  That's where you come in.  If you have photos or video of past Iditarod Races (especially the early years) and would like to share them in this documentary please contact us by clicking here.

Note to our governors: Alaskans Come First


 

Note to our governors: Alaskans come first

WALLY HICKEL
COMMENT

Published: July 25th, 2009 05:13 PM
Last Modified: July 25th, 2009 05:13 PM

As Sean Parnell is sworn in today as governor, all Alaskans should wish him well. He has much on his shoulders that can determine the success or failure of Alaska's economy and our quality of life for years to come.

He has announced plans to run for election in his own right next year, and a dozen others are eyeing the job. In the year ahead, it will be up to the Alaska people to decide who is best qualified.

During nearly 60 years of involvement in Alaska politics, I have observed those who wanted to "be Governor" and those who wanted to "do Governor." Some seek the job for personal benefit; others to provide leadership. There's a big difference.

To judge the most qualified, Alaskans have a road map in our constitution. Unlike most U.S. governors, our governor has extraordinary powers including the appointment of all cabinet officers, judges, boards and commissions and the line item veto to edit state spending.

If the Alaska economy is to prosper, our governor can't just be a politician. He or she must be a leader and must govern Alaska not as another state of the union but as an Owner State. That, too, is rooted in our constitution.

In a keynote address to the Constitutional Convention in 1955, Bob Bartlett, Alaska's delegate to Congress, focused the 55 convention delegates on the need to incorporate in our constitution how to make Alaska economically successful and sustainable.

He told the delegates that if we succeeded in winning 100 million acres in the Alaska Statehood Act (a fight I took on starting in 1952), our constitution must address how to manage and protect those lands and resources.

He warned against two kinds of resource exploitation from Outside: (1) corporations that come, take and leave nothing for the Alaska people, and (2) those who lock up our resources so as not to compete with their holdings elsewhere.

These sobering comments prompted the delegates to write a remarkable Natural Resources Title (Article VIII), the only one like it in the nation. It mandates that the Alaska government must develop and conserve our lands and resources for the "maximum benefit of its people."

In so doing, they created the foundation for our Owner State, a rare combination of commonly owned lands and resources and a democratic political system. And they made it abundantly clear that our governor is pivotal to its success.

As you listen to the candidates in next year's election, don't buy the slogans from the South 48 that don't apply here.

The most important economic issue will be how to get our North Slope natural gas to market. Those candidates who campaign for a "private sector project" have fallen in a trap. That's the last thing we need.

Corporations have their own constituencies, their stockholders. That doesn't make them bad. It's the way business works. But Alaska's governor must ensure that our people are the beneficiaries and must not let the private sector determine our fate.

I had to face this in the 1960s. The oil industry was pulling out of the North Slope when I was elected governor in 1966. I had to force Atlantic Richfield to drill at Prudhoe Bay when they told me they were leaving. "You drill or I will," I warned.

My trump card was the Alaska Constitution: "It's our land and our oil," I explained.

And as interior secretary in 1970 I told Humble Oil (Exxon) that I would tell the American people they were planning to torpedo the trans-Alaska pipeline for their own corporate interest. Our country desperately needed energy and jobs, and the public outrage would have been intense. In both cases, the companies changed course. It was my job to make sure they made decisions that would benefit the needs of the people and not just the bottom line.

With that kind of understanding and intervention both Gov. Parnell and those who follow can truly be successful as governors of our Owner State.

CoastZone - Alien Abduction & EMP Attacks

                     July 14, 2009          www.coasttocoastam.com
Alien Abduction:
 
In the first half of Monday's show, abduction investigator Budd Hopkins discussed his new memoir, in which he explores his life as an artist, and as a pioneer in the field of UFO research. During his decades long investigations, he mentored both David Jacobs and John Mack, who took divergent views on the alien presence. Hopkins said abduction cases suggest a physical reality, with people having scoop marks where the aliens have taken skin samples. Often times abductees report missing time, he detailed, and aliens implant screen memories in them, so people might recall seeing owls, for instance, rather than ETs.
 
 
Hopkins finds it unlikely that the government would be staging abductions, as such ET encounters date back to the 1920's. Describing how alien abductions could be investigated if there were greater resources, he outlined a scenario in which mobile vans could be sent to places where abductions have taken place, to psychologically & medically assist people, and collect evidence. He also commented that efforts to send faxes and communications about UFO/ET issues to congressional representatives are counterproductive, as this generally just leads to humor pieces in the press, rather than the subject being taken seriously.
 
EMP Attacks:

Appearing in the second half of the program, Professor William Forstchen talked about how an EMP (electromagnetic pulse) attack could disable the power grid over large swaths of America. If fission bombs were detonated above the country, a gamma ray burst would trigger an electromagnetic disturbance, knocking out the infrastructure below it, he explained. Such effects have been demonstrated with high altitude nuclear tests such as Starfish Prime, and can be seen on a smaller scale in this video clip showing what happens to a Ford Taurus that gets zapped by EMP... cont.
 
Tuesday Bookworm:

The recently released Outbreak! The Encyclopedia of Extraordinary Social Behavior collects hundreds of panics, manias and scares over the centuries, such as 1841's Swiss Preaching Epidemic which was marked by country-wide hallucinatory sermonizing. For more, check out this Q & A with the book's co-author, Robert Bartholomew.

Today in Strangeness:

Though technically still legal tender, the United States withdrew the large denomination bills of $500, $1,000, $5,000, and $10,000  from circulation on July 14, 1969. On this date in 2003, the US government finally admitted the existence of ' Area 51.'
 
Tonight's Show & Streamlink Chat, Tues. July 14th:
 
Streamlink members are invited for a Live Chat with George Noory tonight. Stop by the Chat Room at at 8pm PT/11pm ET to join in the fun and get the inside scoop from the man behind the microphone.
 
Then, on Coast to Coast AM,  filmmaker and paranormal researcher Travis Shortt will discuss his extensive work on Mothman sightings around the world, as well as different cultural/religious interpretations of winged creatures, messengers, and the appearance of other seemingly supernatural entities. Author L.A. Marzulli and filmmaker Charlie McCracken will join in the conversation.

CoastZone - Lunar & NASA Secrets



                     July 8, 2009        www.coasttocoastam.com
Lunar & NASA Secrets:
 
On Tuesday's show, C2C science advisor, Richard C. Hoagland discussed how a current NASA return to the Moon has already led to a major new confirmation of the "lunar dome model," and shared evidence for the existence of a "secret space program." As explored in his book Dark Mission, he contended that NASA is actually the originator of Apollo Moon landing hoax theories. They co-opted a fake conspiracy to supplant the real conspiracy-- that there are ancient artifacts on the moon, and that humans are the 'ETs' who have traveled to other planets in the past, he detailed.
 
 
A clandestine group has secret technology such as antigravity and free energy, which has enabled setting up bases on the Moon, Hoagland continued. A recent infrared/thermal photograph of the Moon's south pole taken by NASA's LCROSS spacecraft was leaked, and he suggested that yellow perimeter lines in the image are evidence for huge domes on the lunar surface.
 
Now that a number of nations are sending craft to the Moon, an upcoming crater impact mission being staged by NASA in October could be an attempt to vaporize artificial domes to cover-up evidence of secret space missions over the last 40 years, Hoagland hypothesized. For more, see Part I of Richard's report, The Smoking Gun? 
 
 
Video Fix:

SCRATCHbot, a newly developed rescue robot with artificial whiskers, may one day be used to locate survivors of natural disasters or people trapped in buildings. Watch a short video as the rat-like robot feels its way around.

Today in Strangeness:

On July 8, 1947 the U.S. Army announced it had recovered a crashed flying disc near Roswell, New Mexico. Quickly afterward they retracted the story, and said it was actually a "weather balloon." On this day in 1951, the city of Paris celebrated its 2,000th birthday.

Tonight's Show, Wed. July 8th:
 
Writer and physicist Russell Targ will discuss his history creating the Remote Viewing program at the Stanford Research Institute during the Cold War, as well as his relationships with the late Bobby Fischer and Ayn Rand.
