The dialogue is fiction because I wrote it, but I believe it's something that took place prior to September Eleventh, 2001. Perhaps I didn't imagine....maybe I am really psychic......

Protest at Israeli terrorist attack on humanity ships to GazaIt is a crime that our Western Governments allow Israel to continue as a rogue terrorist state. The criminal act of piracy by Israel's fascist troops, murdering and abducting aid workers and other humanitarians attempting to supply medical aid and other emergency supplies to the besieged, embargoed Gazans must be punished by the International community. We demand all ships taking aid to Gaza should have UN military escort. And if the United Nations are bribed or bullied by the USA to do nothing, then countries like Turkey who have suffered casualties should send their own navies to protect the aid flotillas. The next flotilla should be protected by the Russian and / or Chinese navy. The French seem to have more guts than most, maybe their navy will volunteer to militarily escort the humanitarian ships to the illegally embargoed Gaza. The U.N. have already declared Israel's blockade of Gaza illegal, why is the U.N. defending the flotilla or any land-based aid convoy? Oh, of course, I forgot, Israel's sponsors, the Americans control the U.N. No point in asking the Arab governments - they sold out to the Israelis years ago.The media is sickening with its support of Israeli terrorism, constantly underplaying the outrage, never giving the true figures. The Israeli marines murdered at least 19 aid workers, and illegally abducted 100s of international unarmed civilians. Yet the media...whether it be Reuters, Yahoo, CNN, Sky always favour the Zionists' version. Disgraceful.And what if some of the Israeli claims are true that some people on board resisted violently, Why shouldn't activists defend themselves when their ship is being attacked and boarded by gun-wielding pirates?

"Blowing in the Wind" is a beautiful iconic 1960s protest song from the best decade of the 20th century, by the brilliant Bob Dylan. With today's horrible wars, ethnic cleansing, genocide, rampant Capitalism and the decline in socialism, this song is more relevant than ever, and I have been moved to make my own version in response to Israel's crimes against Palestinians.

And NO THANKS to the Richard Attenborough Centre, Leicester University, for pulling their venue from the tour, for being stupidly commercial, by worrying that "The First To Go" won't attract an audience", because of it's so-called "depressing subject matter". Strange how no one says that about plays and films dealing with the Jewish Holocaust...but when it comes to the Disabled Holocaust, "box office concerns" or "lack of relevance for today audiences" is used as an excuse for saying NO. THE BOOK of the PLAY can be ordered from any bookstore....The First To Go by Nabil Shabanan original theatre play about disabled people in Nazi GermanyEveryone knows about the millions of Jews who died in the Nazi extermination camps. Countless books, plays and films have been produced to ensure that we never forget and so remain vigilant against any likely recurrence. Yet until Nabil Shaban decided to do something about it, there has never been a play or film which seeks to tell the story of Hitler's Euthanasia program for disabled people. In fact, THE FIRST TO GO, the First Victims, in Hitler's systematic drive to purify the Aryan race were people with physical, sensory, mental and psychiatric disabilities. Gas chambers were originally created to speed up the culling of such unwanted “Useless Eaters”, the term used by Hitler to describe disabled people.Nabil Shaban's play, THE FIRST TO GO, doesn't just tell the story of Disabled Victims, it also tells of Disabled Heroes and Disabled Villains.The Disabled Victims, Siegfried, Heide and Helmut....it is their destiny to be given lethal injections.The Disabled Villain, Dr. Josef Goebbels, a man who so hated being crippled with a clubbed foot, he chose to hate all disabled people, he masterminded the propaganda campaign advocating Euthanasia.The Disabled Heroes, Claus von Stauffenberg, the one armed, one eyed "terrorist" who attempted to blow up HitlerAnd Brunhilde, the German Army nurse who becomes disabled and consequently joins the ranks of the persecuted but in doing so, helps thwart Hitler's plan to rid the world of so-called "imperfect" people.BUY DIRECT from Sirius Book WorksPrice:

In 1996. Nabil Shaban was sent on an assignment from British UFO Research Association (BUFORA) to locate and interview Beverley Bean, whose father, Sgt. Melvin E. Brown, was an American soldier, stationed in 1847 at Roswell, New Mexico. She remembers her Dad telling her about a crashed flying saucer. Beverley expresses great anger at the American government and military for not helping her Dad, Melvin Brown, deal with this mind-blowing knowledge. Beverly then took Nabil to meet her Mum, Ada, wife of a Roswell Witness, and Harriet, Beverly's sister. Unfortunately, Mrs. Ada Brown was very camera-shy, so throughout most of the interview she is off camera but, happily, we hear a lot of her vocal contributions.

So You Want To Meet An Alien Episode 3 The Hallucinogenic Way
[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 18:47:16 03/26/10
Nabil Shaban's video diary of his "Magic Mushroom" Trip on Christmas Day in 1995. Shamans of old would often use natural hallucinogenic substances to facilitate close encounters with other-worldly entities which they would interpret as gods, demons, wise spirits, faeries or angels. However, it is quite possible that they were experiencing extraterrestrial beings...and that when one consumes hallucinogens such as fly agaric or "liberty cap" mushrooms or peyote, one is opening up a channel that is normally closed which permits perception of, and communication with aliens from other worlds. "Another thing I discovered through my experience of eating Magic Mushrooms, was I was able to communicate telepathically with a girl I was madly in love with, who was several blocks away from me. Later in that morning, when I tried the ESP experiment using Magic Mushrooms, she visited me and told me of a weird happening where she heard my voice in the middle of her room, calling her name over and over again." Nabil Shaban.
