Here’s my “top ten” memories from the Year of the Metal Ox:
10. Pacific Coast Band: Retrospect (2005-2020)
9. “The Flying Saucer Song” is a certified international #1 hit radio single
8. Patrick Horn presents the Pacific Coast Band: Live! in Los Angeles (11/11/21)
“The Son of White Buffalo Calf Woman” is a musician who united the world’s religions. On 4/20, critically-acclaimed, award-winning singer-songwriter Patrick Horn announced a career-spanning anthology of favorite demos, rehearsal recordings, and live performances, Retrospect, which was reviewed by veteran entertainment reporter Carl Kozlowski (Radio Titans, Pasadena Weekly, LA Times, Chicago Tribune, GQ). During the artist interview, Horn revealed a biopic in-development and new music in-production. A promotional cover song for a Spotify partnership resulted in the exponential growth of social media followers, mostly female youth in South Africa and southeast Asia.
“The Flying Saucer Song” reached #1 in the United Kingdom and Spain, #3 in Los Angeles, #4 in Australia, #5 in the United States (AL, CA, CO, CT, FL, IA, MA, ME, MO, NM, NY, OH, PA, TX, UT, VA, WA, WI, WY), #8 in Japan, and #13 worldwide in more than 20 countries (Austria, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Scotland, So. Africa, Sweden)!
On 11/11, Patrick returned to Kulak’s Woodshed (the world-famous N. Hollywood 49-seat music listening room “for beginners to Grammy Winners” with HD livestreaming and audio ProTools operated by volunteers and sponsored by donations) to record a new showcase with an ensemble. The EP Live! In Los Angeles is now available exclusively at www.pacificcoastband.com and will be distributed to all platforms 1/11/22.
7. #TheWorldTeacherIsHere – Fellow, USC CRCC Institute for Digital Civic Culture (IDCC)
(Self-Mastery, Community-Building, Productive Disagreement)
THE WORLD-TEACHER PROJECT is an educational and diplomatic mission allied with a vast coalition working through the Internet with maximum creativity and flexibility for environmental stewardship and social action aimed at justice and peace. The Project Manager fosters connections and strategic partnerships, facilitates and moderates conversation, and coordinates action toward common goals. The main task of the Manager is to build relationships: network, listen, influence with strong intelligence, and serve with a spirit of generosity and compassion.
PROJECT MANAGER: Patrick Horn studied Interfaith Leadership at Dominican University, received diplomatic certification from KAICIID, and obtained security clearance and consultative status at the United Nations Economic and Social Council through the United Religions Initiative (a non-governmental organization). He was recruited in graduate school by the Intelligence Community Center of Academic Excellence to investigate the intersection of religious doctrine, economies, and global security, with an emphasis on narrative for social mobilisation, conflict resolution, and peace-building. He also earned credentials at the Emergency Management Institute as a competent leader and effective communicator in disaster. He was a real estate broker, language arts teacher, and musician before a car crash in Los Angeles. Patrick is a public scholar [“World-Teacher”] at the American Academy of Religion, and in 2021, he joined the advisory board of One Global Family Alliances and the Unity and Diversity World Council Committee for Environmental Stewardship. He is also a trained member of the Climate Reality Leadership Corps.
Patrick is an initiated member of the Vedanta Society, and he was indoctrinated and ordained as a rajarshi, Philosopher-King (or, Guardian of Truth and the Republic).
6. Religion Communicators Council: End-of-Term
The purpose of the Religion Communicators Council according to the members’ adopted bylaws is to provide an environment for the exchange of ideas and the discussion of mutual concerns among professionals, to encourage others to become professionals and recognize achievements and encourage excellence, and to build among members an understanding and appreciation of diverse faith groups and to support the understanding and acceptance of religious faith and faith communities.
The mission of the Religion Communications Council Inc according to the articles of incorporation is to advance the total life of the Church in the US and beyond by encouraging young people to select religious publicity and promotion as a Life Work and Christian vocation, developing fellowship and prestige for professionals working for the Church and its related agencies, and to present a united front speaking with one voice on vital issues involving religious publicity and promotion.
My two-year term of service on the Board of Governors ended in April. I am grateful to the RCC Board of Governors for the professional development offered beginning with a scholarship when I was enrolled in graduate school and continuing through nomination and election first as Communications Committee Chair and then as Membership Committee Chair. I am proud of our success in developing a communications strategy for RCC and building the capacity of the Network to convene conversations and foster communications with cooperating organizations and strategic partners. It was inspiring to judge the work of RCC members and associates for awards, and my favorite accomplishment with RCC support was organizing a pilot program exploring the potential for a new virtual chapter through a “Pacific Coast Interfaith Communicators” newsletter and a webinar for World Interfaith Harmony Week in collaboration with the Parliament of World’s Religions and the United Religions Initiative.
5. World Interfaith Harmony Week: Seeds of Peace
My #WIHW2021 campaign theme “Faith Action for Sustainable Development and the One Trillion Trees Initiative” was endorsed by strategic partners including RCC, URI, SCCPWR, and Religions for Peace. The webinar panel featured Ms. Audrey Kitagawa (President, International Academy for Multicultural Cooperation), Dr. Azza Karam (Secretary General, Religions for Peace International), and Rev. Susan Hayward (U.S. Institute of Peace) in dialogue with Dr. Richard Rose (University of Laverne Director of the Ecumenical Center for Black Church Studies) and Eric Kowalcyzk (Strategia Consulting) with a song debut “We Can Do This Now” by Quincy Coleman, who also shared a music video for Earth Day. The UN Environment Programme (strategic partners with the United Religions Initiative) published policy on the role of faith leaders and faith-based organizations in the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration (2021-2030).
4. Peace Sundays and World Unity Week
“MAKE EVERY SUNDAY PEACE SUNDAYS” is One Global Family’s CALL TO ACTION in collaboration with the Unity and Diversity World Council and the United Religions Initiative. Patrick Horn is a co-producer and co-host for webcast episodes focusing on environmental stewardship. Peace Sundays was also featured during a World Unity Week plenary event on Sacred Activism.
3. Critical Conversation: Faith Engagement with the F.B.I.
“We need a bigger blanket for a Brother.” The F.B.I. covertly collected 33 dossiers of transnational organized crime, domestic terrorism, healthcare fraud, bribery, etc. The F.B.I. also gave a classified briefing to Congress about UFOs.
• Extraterrestrials disabled weapons systems; there will be no nuclear war between China and the United States for disclosing the lab origins of the chimeric virus.
2. Countering Aggressive Propaganda: #Faiths4Vaccines etc.
The White House Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships was reestablished on February 14th and weaponized institutional religion as a “force multiplier” to “combat vaccine hesitancy.”
• Revelation 18:23 – all nations deceived by the merchants and pharmakeia (“sorcerers”), followed by a spiritual victory, the emergence of a Teacher, and a thousand-years golden age of peace and prosperity.
• LDS Alma 46:40 – “And there were some who died with fevers, which at some seasons of the year were very frequent in the land–but not so much so with fevers, because of the excellent qualities of the many plants and roots which God had prepared to remove the cause of disease, to which men were subject by nature of the climate.”
LDS DOCTRINES AND COVENANTS
• 89:4 Behold, thus saith the Lord unto you: In consequence of evil and designs which do and will exist in the hearts of conspiring men in the last days, I have warned you, and forewarn you, by giving unto you this word of wisdom by revelation
• 89:10-11 And again, I say unto you, all wholesome herbs God hath ordained for the constitution, nature, and use of man–Every herb in the season thereof, and every fruit in the season thereof; all these to be used with prudence and thanksgiving
• 56:17-20 Yes, the herbs, and the good things which come of the earth…are made for the benefit and use of man, both to please the eye and to gladden the heart; yea, for food and clothing…to strengthen the body and to enliven the soul. And it pleaseth God that he hath given all these things unto man; for unto this end were they made to be used, with discernment, not to excess, neither by extortion.
The Vatican’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, in a December 2020 note, stated that “vaccination is not, as a rule, a moral obligation,” and “therefore, it must be voluntary.” Affirmed by Catholic bishops on March 17, 2021. “There may be other reasons a person may conclude that they cannot in conscience receive [the alleged vaccine]. The Church clearly teaches that one must always follow one’s conscience that has been sincerely reasoned and formed.”
CATECHISM OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH:
• Part Three: Section One: Chapter One:
“The Dignity of the Human Person”
Article 6: Moral Conscience
• Part Two: Section Two: Chapter Two:
“The Celebration of the Christian Mystery – The Sacraments of Healing”
Article 5: The Anointing of the Sick
SACRAM UNCTIONE INFIRMORUM
“On the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick”
On April 2nd, I wrote a Letter of Concern to the Religion Communicators Council Board of Governors about the #Faiths4Vaccines coalition campaign, citing the legal and ethical problem of promoting a medical experiment, especially erroneous communications that: (1) creates animosity and divisiveness that denigrate those who do not consent, (2) disseminates false and misleading information [especially stigmatizing dissent as antisemitic conspiracy theory], (3) corrupts the integrity of channels of communication and processes of government [Positive Peace requires the free flow of information and respecting the rights of others], (4) denies due respect to the ideal of free inquiry and the opinion of others, and (5) lacks good taste in the use of language and extravagant claims. The RCC Executive Committee clarified their responsibility in the concern and promptly responded by immediately removing the RCC endorsement from the Faiths4Vaccines website, as noted in my April 6th End-of-Term Open Letter. Contentious exchanges continued in the URI-North America forum, where threads were censored and discussion of the topic was prohibited. A #Faiths4Vaccines youth panel teaching strategies and tactics to “combat vaccine hesitancy” featured URI-North American Regional Coordinator Tahil Sharma, and I was cancelled from the meeting for attempting to share information and dialogue across difference in the chat window. Meanwhile, public representatives and opinion-makers offered coercive incentives like free beer, donuts, cannabis, and money given away by game show; and resistors were under duress from intimidating threats of mandates and restrictions despite available proven alternatives that are safe and effective including dietary therapy, medicinal plants, and traditional healing herbs. I wrote an Open Letter of Complaint on June 6th (with a cease-and-desist order effective immediately) and called Respondents to a “Truth and Reconciliation” Commission, followed by a Finding of Fact based on a preponderance of evidence.
• #PharmaKom – “Facebook for Faith Community” also stifled exchange of information and dialogue among members, and banned a ranconteur. The D.C. Attorney General subpoenaed Facebook in an investigation into consumer protection laws violated by “vaccine hesitancy” policies.
WHISTLEBLOWER: A secret social merit index includes a “vaccine hesitancy” score for “enemies of society” that categorizes resistance as either “alarmist criticism” or “indirect discouragement.” Factually correct information is censored, including the lab origins of the chimeric virus.
• U.S. Gov’t coordinated with Big Tech to deprive citizens of their rights. Google tried to algorithmically bury evidence of controversial lab work on coronaviruses. A network of “fact checkers” fell in line with the censorship. Global State of Democracy reports “disproportionate, unnecessary, and illegal” steps by aggressive regimes (including U.S.) that were “indefinite or unconnected to the nature of the emergency.” A majority (52%) of young Americans [18-29] believe that our democracy is either in trouble or failing.
• D.R.A.S.T.I.C. – Decentralized Radically Autonomous Search Team Investigating COVID-19 released a dossier (https://bit.ly/3zMXB0u) showing the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency – DARPA project plan for the construction of chimeric viruses and evidence of an unpublished collection of 180 strains of biohazardous materials in the possession of EcoHealth Alliance, whose President Peter Daszak coordinated a cover-up of the lab origins. Dr. Francis Collins (National Institutes of Health (NIH)) deceived the American people, and National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) director Dr. Fausty lied to Congress under oath about illegal and unethical gain-of-function experiments. The work was partially-funded through the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Science Foundation (NSF), USAID – US Agency for International Development (U.S. Department of State), Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and U.S. Department of the Interior. The Atlantic (a partner in the COVID Tracking Project with Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Rockefeller Foundation, and Emerson Collective) stigmatized the disclosure of the project plan in aggressive propaganda.
Four U.S. gov’t agencies report low confidence in the natural origin of the chimeric virus, and one agency has moderate confidence in the lab leak hypothesis. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), Harvard University expert to UK Parliament: More likely than not that COVID is a man-made, genetically engineered virus leaked from the Wuhan lab. “We have heard from many top virologists that a genetically engineered origin is reasonable… We know this virus has a unique feature, called the furin cleavage site, and without this feature there is no way this would be causing this pandemic.”
Q: Why is the origin of the chimeric virus important?
UNESCO biotech expert Prof. Giuseppe Tritto is the Executive Director for World Academy of Biomedical Sciences and Technologies, a non-governmental organization that analyzes the effect of genetic engineering on humanity: “Mistaken assumptions about SARS-CoV-2’s aetiology creates ineffective or actively harmful vaccines.”
• PEER-REVIEW of experimental drug efficacy claims: statistically-zero probability of preventing infection and transmission: 1.3% for the AstraZeneca–Oxford, 1.2% for the Moderna–NIH, 1.2% for the J&J, and 0.84% for the Pfizer–BioNTech vaccines. (https://bit.ly/3uzA2FN)
ICYMI: Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) scientist explains how the gene-modification injections are not traditional vaccines and raises multiple safety concerns including: risks of long-term induced pathologies including blood disorders, neurodegenerative diseases and autoimmune diseases; risk of increased exposure to more severe disease (ADE); the danger of transmission of the toxic spike protein from the vaccinated to the unvaccinated causing injurious symptoms [documented by Pfizer]; and a plausible scenario for permanent alteration of human DNA. The authors recommend dietary therapy, including sunlight to raise vitamin D levels and organic foods that are good sources of vitamin A, C, and K12.
The Mayo Clinic determined that the efficacy of the Pfizer vaccine was 42% — in other words, it does not prevent infection more than half of the time (impacting the risk-benefit calculus) and does not meet the regulatory standard for FDA-approval, which was rubber-stamped based on incomplete data and regardless of reports of deaths or deathly effects and despite ongoing clinical trials through 2023-2025 with further studies required related to dosage, heart inflammation, pregnancies, and pediatrics.
Per The BMJ (British Medical Journal): since late last year, we’ve heard that Pfizer and Moderna’s vaccines are “95% effective” with even greater efficacy against severe disease. In early July, Israel’s Ministry of Health reported that efficacy against infection and symptomatic disease “fell to 64%.” By late July it had fallen to 39% where Delta is the dominant strain [a similar study by the Mayo Clinic showed that efficacy had fallen to 42%]. This is very low. For context, the FDA’s expectation is of at least 50%” efficacy for any approvable vaccine. Waning efficacy has the potential to be far more than a minor inconvenience; it can dramatically change the risk-benefit calculus. And whatever its cause—intrinsic properties of the vaccine, the circulation of new variants, some combination of the two, or something else—the bottom line is that vaccines need to be effective. The FDA granted a marketing license with no reported data past 13 March 2021 based on 7% of trial participants and limited reporting of safety data. The FDA did not convene its advisory committee to discuss data ahead of approving the Pfizer vaccine. A group of approximately 30 clinicians, scientists, and patient advocates determined simply that there are too many open questions to support approval of any alleged vaccine this year.
Researchers warned of a non-theoretical risk of COVID‐19 vaccines worsening clinical disease (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7645850/) requiring a specific, separate, informed consent form and demonstration of patient comprehension in order to meet medical ethics standards. A new study finds infection-enhancing antibodies have a higher affinity for Delta variants and should be further investigated as this may represent a potential increased risk of severe infection among the allegedly vaccinated (https://www.journalofinfection.com/article/S0163-4453(21)00392-3/fulltext). Japanese scientists determined that the chimeric virus would soon acquire complete resistance to vaccines; the “Omicron variant” is vaccine-evasive, and boosters don’t help (https://bit.ly/3IYPBPP); statistical modeling shows high transmissibility and severity of infection (https://bit.ly/3GWkJhe).
Vaccinated show consistent pathophysiological alterations which aggravate diabetes, electrolyte imbalances, renal dysfunction, and coagulation disorders [source: Nature]; vaccinated are 3.5x more likely to develop blot clots [source: American Heart Association]; vaccinated are showing overall-cause mortality at a 24% higher rate than the general population [source: U.S. Food and Drug Administration].
Viscount Ridley, Science and Technology Committee (House of Lords): “We also need to know to deter bad actors who are watching this episode and thinking that unleashing a pandemic is something they could get away with.”

#FollowTheScience – Stigmatizing the unvaccinated is not justified.
Unlike toxic synthetic molecular injections (alleged “vaccines” falsely advertised), medicinal plants are a treasure trove of antiviral bioactive compounds that are generally regarded as safe and require no further testing (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8013762/), including essential oils such as eucalyptus, lavender, thyme, and lemongrass (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7279430/). Compelling scientific research shows that the “Common dandelion [Taraxacum officinale] efficiently blocks the interaction between ACE2 cell surface receptor and SARS-CoV-2 spike protein” (https://bit.ly/3ycfaXK); cinnamon is another traditional guard against illness that impacts COVID-19 (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8452493/). The Thai government approved andrographis as an herbal remedy for COVID-19 infection (https://bit.ly/3mglQ3p), and rigorous clinical studies at The University of Chicago show FDA-approved cannibidiol is 98.8% effective against infection and transmission of the chimeric virus (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7987002/).

• Senate Bill 412 calls for a ten-member Pandemic Commission with judicial powers to hold hearings, gather evidence, determine facts, and make policy recommendations and other proposals based on “lessons learned” from the U.S. response, including the origins and spread of the virus, and the “collateral damage” from imposing public health measures, the development and approval of alleged vaccines, safety and privacy concerns, economic and national security concerns, and the role of big tech in political interference and censorship of the scientific debate.
1. Appointment to Global Interfaith University Governing Council – Dean of Academic Affairs
Patrick Horn has been appointed to the Governing Council of Global Interfaith University, an accredited non-profit distance learning organization with a compelling vision of high-quality liberal arts education for human potential. The Founder/President Emmanuel Ande Ivorgba writes: “You are a great interfaith leader, an excellent scholar, a reputable and compassionate development practitioner and renowned Peacebuilder. Your appointment on the Governing Council of Global Interfaith University is clearly a confirmation of the amazing personal qualities that you possess, and which you have demonstrated over the years. We all look forward to working very closely and learning together, from your wealth of wisdom, knowledge, and many years of practice.” Patrick will serve as Dean of Academic Affairs.
We are facing abrupt, irreversible climate change and near-term human extinction. But we are not yet defeated. Even if we see all the signs of the end of the world, we will still plant a tree.

A CITY UPON THE HILL – The Krotona Plan included “temples, schools, and cities” and a Hollywood Hills estate intended as a home for the Christ of the Aquarian Age. In 2019, a whistleblower revealed that the Latter-Day Saints saved $125-billion for the Return of the Christ. You know how the Mormons are about Leap Day!
Doctor-Proficient: I joined the Vedanta Society in 2003, and I sang in the choir, attended lectures and classes, and served the senior monks. I became a voting member in 2008, discovered my interfaith mission in the midst of a heroic ordeal in 2009, and received mantra initiation from Swami Swahananda in 2010. He invited me to join the Order to write and lecture, and I received monastic training in San Francisco in 2015 – 2016.
