The Author
“Success can be measured by the obstacles overcome”
John Ventre was born in The Bronx, New York in 1957.
He attended college at S.U.N.Y. of Farmingdale and C.W. Post.
In High School, he had a 91 average and maintained a 3.8 during
his time spent in college. John never finished his senior year.
He elected to get a full time job and get married.John married
his first love who he had met while in High School. They
divorced sixteen years later. While married, John was blessed
with two children; Nolan born on Long Island in 1984, followed
by Vanessa, also born on Long Island two years later. John would
have liked to remarry and have two more children. He would’ve
named them Cole and Claire.John has lived in New York, Oklahoma,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and has traveled most of the U.S. and
Europe. He grew up poor in The Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens. As
a nine year old, John used to write his own scripts for Star
Trek after watching his favorite weekly show. He would love to
role play and act out his own scenes from movies and play fight.
His first job was as a paperboy at age eleven, and he has worked
ever since. John is the Pa-WVA State Security Director of a
large company and is a member of the FBI’s Infragard group. John
is also a lifetime member of MUFON and the NRA. John sits on the
Board of Directors for JDRF and the Westmoreland Economic Growth
Connection and is his Companies liaison to a Congressman.John
plans to donate some of the proceeds from this book to the
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. He doubts the
controversial content will be widely published and intends this
work for friends and family. He doesn’t recall reading a book
from a divorced males viewpoint.Although he was raised Roman
Catholic, John firmly believes in God and Jesus but believes in
Saint Thomas’ Gnostic view that God is found within us. One does
not have to go through a church to have access to God. John
believes that all religious institutions have completely missed
the point. There is no reason to fear God. Religions, and some
people, are more interested in what they can get from God instead
of just protecting their soul. No religion can murder over
differences in religion. John is of the belief that one chooses
their life based on their past mistakes. A person lives many
lives. He believes that predestined roadblocks will be thrown
in your way throughout life but that you have the free will to
make a choice. He believes we are not human beings having a
spiritual experience, but spirits having a human one, over and
over again until we get it right. The fact that some people can
“speak in tongues” may prove that we have lived many lives. John
actually learned more about religion by researching this book
than in years of catechism. John originally wrote a version of
this story, in August of 1996, while working on assignment in
Florida. He sent copies of this story under the title “Krushchev’s
Revenge” to ghostwriters and movie studios, only to be rejected.
Books with similar themes were published in 1999. A movie also
followed with many similarities to his original storyline. Since
he didn’t copyright the original story, he made a grave mistake.
John had chosen the title from a phrase, “Hitler’s Revenge”, which
referred to society’s downfall from becoming diversified and mixed.
There are racial and religious overtones to the story for the
purpose of making it more controversial; similar to the “Passion of
Christ” movie.Lately, there doesn’t seem to be free speech in
public or in schools or workplaces due to political correctness
even though nearly everyone might privately hold the same opinion.
Truth seems restrained in public. This deeply disturbs John and
goes against the very grain of this country. In 1789, James Madison
said, “The People shall not be deprived or abridged of their right
to speak, write, or publish their sentiments. The freedom of the
press shall be inviolable.”In 2005, John rewrote the story with the
aid of Ronald Draftina, and fashioned it into “12/21/2012 A P
rophecy”.John’s life has on many occasions, in dreams and actual
experiences, crossed into the realm of the paranormal. In the
scientific and medical communities; “the paranormal” is believed to
be the mind playing tricks on you. Could a mild form of psychosis,
like in the movie “A Beautiful Mind”, be the answer for millions of
believers? Three times in his life he has asked his guardian angel
for non financial help. Each time, he received his wish. John
believes you can visualize and ask for help and receive it when the
intent is pure. In 1988, while working in Europe on assignment, John
tried to move his return flight up by one day. He had spent
Thanksgiving in Germany and wanted to get home for Christmas a few
days early. Due to the cost of changing the flight, John decided to
stick with his itinerary. The next morning when he boarded the
flight, the passengers were abuzz about the flight that crashed the
previous day. John was out of touch with the news. He later learned
that the flight was Pan Am flight 103, the same flight that he tried
to change his flight to!What follows is a chronological retelling of
these experiences under the headings of True Paranormal and True
Dreams.His most frequent re-occurring dream has been of a large
black bear breaking into his house. John is upstairs in his bedroom,
looks over the second floor banister, and sees this large bear
heading up the stairs. John locks the bedroom door and climbs out
the window onto the roof just as the bear gets to the window. He
has had this dream over a dozen times. According to Dream books,
the bear represents a woman trying to deceive him.
“The world is neither good nor evil; it’s just controlled by money.”
“Some of the most important men in the U.S. are afraid of something.
They know that there is a power somewhere so organized, so subtle, so
pervasive, so watchful, and so complete, that they better not speak
above their breath when they speak in condemnation of it.”
- President Woodrow Wilson
