Choosing Faith – Brian Welch quits Korn and kicks drugs

admin — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 01:23:19 +0000

Brian “Head” Welch, former lead-guitarist for Korn, a controversial nu-metal band, is now a Christian and no longer does drugs (meth) and alcohol. He says in this interview on Fox News that he has found God.

Amazon.com says this in an Editorial Review of his book, “Save Me from Myself: How I Found God, Quit Korn, Kicked Drugs, and Lived to Tell My Story”:

In February 2005, more than 10,000 people in Bakersfield, California, watched as Brian “Head” Welch–the former lead guitarist of the controversial Nu–metal band Korn–was saved by Jesus Christ. The event set off a media frenzy as observers from around the world sought to understand what led this rock star out of the darkness and into the light.

Now, in this courageous memoir, Head talks for the first time about his shocking embrace of God and the tumultuous decade that led him into the arms of Jesus Christ. Taking the reader backstage with Korn, Head tells the inside story of life in the band and how his rock star lifestyle resulted in an all–consuming addiction to methamphetamines. Head writes openly about the tour bus mayhem of Ozzfest and The Family Values tour, while providing a candid look at how the routine of recording and traveling placed him in a cycle of addiction that he could not break on his own.

Speaking honestly about his addiction, Head details his struggles with the drug that ultimately led him to seek a higher power. Despite his numerous attempts to free himself from his addiction, nothing–not even the birth of his daughter–could spur him to kick meth for good. Here he addresses how, with the help of God, he emerged from his dangerous lifestyle and found a path that was not only right for his daughter, it was right for him. In addition, he discusses the chaotic end to his time in Korn, and how his newfound faith has changed his perspective on his past.

Writing this 19 04 09

IF THE FIT’S GOING TO HIT THE SHAN, IT’S GOING TO HAPPEN SOON.

I WROTE A SCATHING CRITIQUE IN HEBREW OF THE SOCIAL WORKERS LINKING THEM TO EUGENICS. I’VE ALREADY BEEN BANNED FROM TAPUZ FORUMS, ONE OF THE BIGGEST IN ISRAEL. THE SAID I WAS “ADVERTISING”.

IF YOU DON’T SEE ME FOR A WEEK, PLEASE GET MY INFORMATION OUT TO TO THE WORLD. IT WILL MEAN I CAN’T .
An important point I neglected to mention is that, though there is no law mandating vaccinating children in Israel; parents who have a file opened on them by the Social Workers are made to feel that if they do not vaccinate their children they are neglecting and abusing them and can lose them.
I know for a fact that the Social Workers in Israel are aware of the connection between vaccinations and escalating incidents of autism, retardation and cancer in children.

Sam Brown Remembered – Drug Smuggling – TMTV News Kootenays

admin — Sun, 11 Apr 2010 01:32:19 +0000

TMTV Nelson BC Canada – March 25, 2009 TMTV for CBC TV

STORY: Friends who knew the B.C. pilot who was caught flying a helicopter carrying 150 kilograms of marijuana into the U.S. say he was spirited young man mixed up in the wrong crowd.

Samuel Brown, 24, was arrested on allegations he attempted to drop off the huge load of B.C. bud in Washington state.

He was charged and held at the Spokane County jail, but reportedly hanged himself with bed sheets from his cell on Feb. 27.

Upon hearing the news of Brown’s suicide, friends rallied around the Revelstoke, B.C., native, fondly remembering him as a soft-spoken adventure seeker.

“I can’t believe that a kid with so much life force would do something like that…. It was shocking,” John Buffery said.

Mitch Scott, another friend, said Brown was a popular man who had dreams of starting his own helicopter business.
Mitch Scott (left) and John Buffery remembered their friend as a gentle spirit who was always in search of an adventure.

“He had a lot to live for. He was very popular kid around town. I think he had big dreams of doing really cool things.”

All were unwavering in their belief that Brown was not involved with gangs.

“Sam, in my mind, wasn’t this felon in the United States,” Buffery said. “Sam Brown was a kid we hung out with who was really fun to be around, and it’s shocking, a really sad thing.”

Brown’s father was too distraught to speak on Tuesday, but he told the Nelson Daily News last week that his son was used as a pawn in the cross-border drug deal and that he took the fall for somebody else.

In total, eight people were arrested and now seven face charges after police broke up the cross-border drug smuggling operation, which used helicopters to fly marijuana and ecstasy to remote U.S. landing pads in exchange for cocaine and cash.

Police seized about 340 kg of marijuana, 83 kg of cocaine and 240,000 ecstasy tablets, plus a significant amount of cash, guns, two helicopters and other equipment, officials from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the RCMP said at a joint news conference in Seattle on Tuesday morning.
