THE JOHN FORD INITIATIVE

FREE JOHN FORD NOW

Think about this, folks… what have you been doing for the past 17 years with your life?

All those wonderful experiences you enjoyed. Those life changing events that you are so glad you never missed out on. All those big and small moments in your life that are completely irreplaceable. All those photographs, birthdays, anniversaries and love letters. All those intimate moments and wild adventures with family, friends and lovers. Whether it be coming of age or growing old gracefully, this is the stuff of life itself.

Now imagine that the last 16 years never existed at all. Taken away from you in the blink of an eye. Illegally. Illegitimately. Never to return. How would it feel? What would you do to correct this extreme act of cruelty and injustice? What would you do to get your life back again?

Let's pause for a moment to let that sink in. You'd have to say it's cruel and unusual punishment by any stretch of the imagination, right? After all, we do have a constitution that prohibits that in this country, right? Sadly, when it comes to the life of one John Ford, the answer is a resounding "NO"!

Herein lies the foundation of THE JOHN FORD INITIATIVE with a prime directive in freeing John Ford by getting the word out regarding the illegal, illegitimate and highly unethical imprisonment of John Ford for the past 16 years as a victim of injustice at the hands of the Suffolk County Government. Targeted by a level of corruption that would put anyone in a state of utter shock and disgust, John Ford has remained a political prisoner at the MID-HUDSON FORENSIC PSYCHIATRIC CENTER in New Hampton, New York, ever since.

This is truly a worthwhile cause that any citizen in the court of public opinion of the United States of America would want to get involved with so as to correct this travesty of justice and release John Ford immediately. Anything less would have to be considered unacceptable and intolerable by one and all.

THE JOHN FORD INITIATIVE represents the unified coalition of an ever growing list of multiple entities proactively hastening the release of John Ford including:

RICHARDSMITH.CO LLC
David Aaron / THE UFO AUDIO VIDEO CLEARING HOUSE
George Dickson & Associates
Mr. Kelly Freeman - Florida UFO Network
Sky Books Publishing
The Albuquerque Society and Culture Examiner
The Montauk Pulse
The Richard Smith Show
THE UFOTEACHER INITIATIVE
UFOTEACHER Global News
UFOTEACHER.COM

Inspired by the earnest and valiant efforts of the original John Ford Defense Committee in the late nineties, this new coalition gives THE JOHN FORD INITIATIVE a strong and undeniable presence, putting the illegal imprisonment of John Ford for the past 16 years under a tremendous magnifying glass for everyone to see.
