Gregornot's Visions Day by Day

Life seen through scratched spectacles . What is it that I believe I see in front of me, is it real or just my reality. Strange stuff at times, a world out of focus or a mind of focus.

Rocket Man

WEEK IN PHOTOS: Giant Bug, Rocket Man, Baby Croc, More



Above Bex, Switzerland, May 14, 2008—Swiss pilot and inventor Yves Rossy, 48, officially debuted his jet-powered wing Wednesday, flying up to 186 miles (300 kilometers) an hour after jumping from an airplane at 7,500 feet (2,300 meters).

During the five-minute flight, the self-styled Fusion Man executed flawless loops and a full body roll. "That was to impress the girls," he told the Associated Press.

After a planned parachute landing, the real-life Iron Man announced his next goal: crossing the English Channel.

About Gregor

Hi, I’m Gregor Gable

I’m a Indigenous Rights, Social Justice and Anti-Nuclear Activist. I believe we need to break the Nuclear Cycle to save this Planet. I worked for 20+ years at the Nevada Test Site, doing non-violent direct actions. I was the very first person arrested at Yucca Mountain. I was arrested uncountable (hundreds) times at the Nevada Test Site (NTS). I am also writing a book “The Shundahai Network: A Decade of Resistance”. In addition, I am making a DVD/CD of Corbin’s Harney(Western Shoshone Spiritual Leader, who has passed over)last Public Sunrise Ceremonies & Songs(with his verbal permission as seen on DVD). If you wish to contribute materials, Audio, visual or memories of Shundahai Network (SN), contact me : gregornot AT gmail.com and I will send my snail mail address for mailing photos or audio or video materials.

Shundahai Friends,

Those of you who wish to send Audio. Video, Photos,Stories or uplifting memories of Corbin Harney (including who,what, where) for part of the book honoring Corbin and the Shundahai Network,”The Shundahai Network: A Decade of Resistance” may mail them to Gregor Gable (Web Master of Shundahai Network Domain and a personal friend of 20 + years) :

All materials will be returned and proper credit will be given in the book. Please print clearly your snail mail address, so that I may return materials, along with a note given me permission to use the materials in this book. This is a Book Corbin Harney authorized me to write, and I have been working on it for quite a while.

This is a record of Corbin’s non-stop fight against radioactivity and his attempts to have the traditional lands returned to the Newe people(after it had been cleaned up) under the Treaty of Ruby Valley 1863 and the people who helped him know as The Shundahai Network.

Shundahai, gregor

Nuclear Issues of Interest Blog
Dedicated to Corbin Harney, who passed over July 10th, 2007. Corbin's last words.
"We are one people. We cannot separate ourselves now.There are many good things to be done for our people and for the world.
It is important to let things be good and it is important to teach the younger generation, so that things are not lost."

What I discover on my Journey through Vipassana mediation & how I managed to get to India and the KUMBH MELA TOUR ( in January of 2007) with 200 million people in attendance,my PTSD and my crowd avoidance issues.

Varanast, (Benares), one 0f the oldest cities in the world and the holiest of all Hindu cities. Its narrow streets are lined with hundreds of temples honoring Hindu deities, and hundreds of pilgrims crowd the ghat stairways leading to the Holy River Ganges.

The changes it makes of my life's perspective of reality, as it exists in my head of my life's journey, with emphasis on daily life in India . Spiritual mediation, some nuclear weapons issues and some humor in content.
