John C. "The Engineer" Turmel commands a unique sort of media
attention. John is a one-man band so lovers of all instruments can be pleased. I am his
theatrical booking agent. I am booking dates for presentations by John C. "The
Engineer" Turmel. Anyone wishing to have John C. "The Engineeer" Turmel
make a presentation about the problem - the design flaw of "usury" and the

The Cyberclass Network has decided to post his website as a priority item. People have
been telling me that they could not easily find him. Now they can find John C. "The
Engineer" Turmel, Guinness record-breaking Great Canadian Character Millennium
Declaration Author, poet laureate, concert accordionist, teacher of winning ways and
probable future Nobel Prize Winner.
I often receive emails like the one below: (John's response is in italics.)

Hello Tom and John,
I hope you're both doing well after the Quebec City trip. This is Andrew - I bumped into
the two of you on Saturday at Parc De L'Exposition after the demonstration and you talked
to myself and my friend Sam for about an hour about the UNILETS system. (I'm the tall,
Liverpudlian fella).
JCT: Yes, I remember well. You have to note that when we find a receptive listener,
the spiel speeds along at a much faster and entertaining clip for both the listener and
the deliverer. It's a lot more fun pitching to quick people than slow people, more
interesting analogies and logical tours de force can be used, and so I remember the full
hour we spent because I pitch for a full hour so rarely.
Anyway, I checked out the site and I think it's Killer. The John Swinton quote is powerful
(I'd never read that before). I also
listened to JOHN's poem in Real Audio. I have a confession to make: I surreptitously taped
the pair of you with my tape recorder and I'd like to play one of the Poems that
John recited for us on CKLN on May 13th when I'll be a guest on an
overnight show called "RADIO THERAPY." (with your PERMISH of course).
JCT: No, you didn't hide it. It was public oratory. Feel free to use it. Please just
mention a web site. Either www.medpot.net
or www.cyberclass.net/turmel
or www.cyberclass.net/engineer.htm
or use any search engine for John Turmel.
Also, I was wondering; have there have ever been any documentaries made about John?
JCT: I have archives with hundreds of 1 minute video news clips, dozens of 2-4 minutes
clips, a few 5-10 minute shows, one 1 hour show as Leader of the Abolitionist Party on
MuchMusic with Avi Lewis, now on counterspin. I beat him and his shills in the bearpit up
so bad he had to call the show off 10 minutes early because, as he said, "I feel like
I was body-slammed."
The reason I'm asking is that I'm a filmmaker and I think it would be fantastic to
do a portrait of the ENGINEER - also,
I'm quite positive that I could convince some of my producer contacts to pitch in with the
means of production...etc. Let me know what you think. In the meantime, I will be
checking out the site in more detail and getting better acquainted with more of John's
ideas.

JCT: I can only point out that the United Nations Millennium Student Conference having
their Declaration fraudulently switched at the last minute is probably one of the biggest
stories of this year and no one's twigged onto how big a story it is that 400 students who
travelled all the way to speak and draft a declaration in the United Nations could have a
substituted fraud go down in history instead of their very own words.
It's frankly astounding and only a few journalists have joined the http://groups.yahoo.com/group/unyouth2000
to sniff around. Right now, there's no bigger story, not even the legalization of
marijuana. Check it out. I'd bet "Students defrauded at UN Conference" makes top
ten this year in the world.
