The Story behind Vangard Sciences and the
Generation of the KeelyNet System
Vangard Sciences (KeelyNet sponsors) was organized in
December of 1986 in Dallas, Texas as an alternative means of
communication regarding the more science based relationships of
metaphysics and the paranormal. Kay West suggested the name
(Vangard) after much deliberation among a group of friends
meeting at Ron and Kays house. The spelling is intentional
to prevent any collision with other VangUards (with a U).
Our original purpose was to present public presentations
in the form of lectures and workshops, perform basic research
and practical development in various scientific and pseudo-
scientific disciplines and provide regular meetings for anyone
seeking to be actively involved in the study of the more unusual
aspects of science.
For our first year, 1987, we sponsored a monthly lecture on
a variety of topics. These lectures involved local and outside
speakers who covered such topics as pyramids, dowsing,
acupuncture, electromagnetic healing, Keely, alchemy, sonics in
relation to planetary and astrological influences and other
diverse subjects.
Also during that first year, in conversations over the years
with my friend and collaborator Dale Pond, editor and publisher
of the Journal of Sympathetic Vibratory Physics (the Keely
newsletter), we had discussed sponsoring a Symposium on the work
of John Keely.
I (Jerry) had been studying Keely since the late 60's and
Dale had been actively involved since 1985. We both felt that
a gathering of people interested in Keely was overdue by about
one hundred years. At the time we originally discussed this, Dale
was living in Virginia. By 1988, he was in process of moving to
Colorado.
I (Jerry) made the decision to take on the financial and
organizational responsibilities of the First Annual International
Keely Symposium to be held in the Dallas area.
Dale arranged for the speakers and some advertising while I
organized local advertising, the location of the Symposium,
the speakers hotel, mementos and the lunch.
The 1st Keely Symposium was held on August 1st, 1987 at the
Richardson Civic Center. The event was covered by Dennis Stacy
a contributor and now writer for OMNI magazine. The story on the
Keely Symposium did not appear until the 1988 April issue.
Our second year led us to an opportunity to lease an
educational program on Tesla which we felt might allow us to
generate sufficient capital to establish a trust fund. The
interest from the trust would be used to finance our activities.
Page 1
We called the program, ZAP DALLAS. It made use of a 6 foot
Tesla coil capable of generating electrical discharges up to 12
feet in length.
With the help of Dale Pond, we brought the Tesla equipment
from Denver to Dallas after leasing a movie theater in Garland
as our public display location. We removed several rows of seats
in order to build a custom stage for the Tesla demonstrations.
These one hour demonstrations involved a running monologue
of Teslas' life and accomplishments paralleled by experiments to
demonstrate various Tesla coil effects. The effects ranged from
simple discharges to the use of a Faraday cage. Our grand
finale involved our demonstrator (MR. ZAP) standing on a
special table which was connected to the Tesla coil output. We
then sent a reduced output on the order of 900,000 VAC over his
body to stream off his hands, tongue or any other pointed member.
Needless to say, people were fascinated by the effects, especially
the passing of electricity over a live body.
We ran the program for the month of March with the little
advertising we could afford. Our attendance totalled about 500
people during that period. We lost out miserably although many
people kept coming back with other friends. Many of our most
ardent patrons were engineer/science types who appreciated the
work which such a project entailed.
After packing up the ZAP DALLAS theater location, we found
that OMNI magazine had published an article in the April 88'
issue on Tesla. Our final opportunity came from an invitation
by TEXAS ELECTRIC (the local power company) to serve as their
exhibit for the 28th Annual Texas Energy Science Symposium for
High Schools at the University of Texas at Austin.
We packed up the equipment and drove to Austin on
Tuesday, June 7, 1988. On arrival Dr. Austin and Dr. Klein
assisted us in the setup of our equipment in a medical
auditorium which had a capacity of 450 people. On testing the
equipment, the humidity must have been near perfect as we got
the full discharge length of 12 feet. Dr. Austin and Dr.
Klein were thinking the unit would be small with discharges
on the order of 4 to 8 feet. On seeing this test, Dr. Austin was
quite excited and wanted to purchase one for the UTA Physics
Department.
The show began at 7:30 and was scheduled to end at 8:30, our
standard one hour program. The room was packed and people were
standing against the walls and doors. Later estimates by our UT
sponsors said the room probably contained 500 people, more than
they had ever seen in any of their programs in this room.
During the show, we garnered extended applause and
questions. The enthusiasm of the people induced us to perform
extra experiments for their participation which led to a prolonged
question/answer session. The show was finally over at 10:00
PM. Two and one half hours on Tesla and the unusual aspects of
science.
On packing up the next day, many people who we did not
know, insisted on patting us on the back or shaking our hands to
Page 2
congratulate us on the show. Later, a June 29th letter from
Dr. Dale Klein states, "The responses we have received regarding
your presentation have been very favorable. I am certain that
your comments inspired these future scientists and engineers.
Thank you for a fine presentation."
Our staff at our greatest moment were Jerry Decker, Ron
Barker, Chuck Henderson and Wayne Fowler. Wayne is a professional
actor who is interested in the Vangard Sciences and who served as
our narrator. Jerry is Director, Ron is Business Manager and
Chuck is the Vangard Secretary.
After the return of the Tesla equipment to Denver in the
month of December 1988, we decided to redefine our goals and
means of achievement. We obviously needed a space in order to
build up a workshop. Lectures were fine for exchanging ideas
but resulted in little or no practical implementation.
For that purpose, I (Jerry) decided to buy a house. We also
needed some form of mass communication ability to spread the
word on Keely and our interests. Thus, the idea for KeelyNet was
born.
On attending lectures and Conferences both locally in other
states, we have made many interesting contacts and information
exchanges. From these exchanges, we see many overlapping
fields of study which need to be made freely available to all
interested parties.
Our present intentions involve the support and continuing
expansion of the KeelyNet system, the buildup of a workshop for
experimentation including documentation of our work in the form of
videotapes or textual descriptions capable of being listed on
KeelyNet or otherwise distributed.
We have come to realize over the past few years that there
is a problem which should influence all experimentation. That is
the problem of ecology and global warming.
We meet many people working on health related activities.
If the planet dies or is crippled, health will not matter. In
the very near future (projections range from 10 to 20 years
MAX), you can not step outside without a head to toe covering,
special sunglasses to reduce UV to the eyes and probably
breathing apparatus. Drought will cause massive famine,
reduction in public services including energy and petroleum
products. Air conditioning failures from no power, no gas or
electricity for cooking when you can find edible food.
A critical juncture is approaching and we must all take steps
to slow it, prevent it or have the option of escaping from
it. How can we do this? Focus our research on FREE ENERGY and
LEVITATION. Keely is one of the ways. We have collected much
documentation on many modalities and techniques. It is time to
spread the word and ACTIVELY WORK for practical implementations.
For that reason, Vangard Sciences will actively work on
FREE ENERGY devices as well as LEVITATION. The KeelyNet will
serve as a means of distributing our collection of information to
the widest possible audience at the least possible cost. We also

mail out documentation to people whom we know to be distributors
and/or networkers for this type of information.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
The following is an Update on April 10, 1990
Recent developments require that we further
focus our goals on the following specific areas.
The purpose for the establishment of KeelyNet is to allow the
rapid and free exchange of information relating to :
1) free energy technologies
2) anti-gravity technologies and techniques
3) unusual methods of ecology
4) alternative health systems including anti-aging
5) UFOs, what are they, can we duplicate them
6) the free release of the work of John Keely
covering Sympathetic Vibratory Physics
7) contacts and notices for symposia & conferences
8) future conferences on biology, ecology, free
energy, anti-grav and others of interest
We of VANGARD SCIENCES realize that our planet is rapidly
coming to a point of no return and that ONLY THROUGH THE FREE
EXCHANGE of information relating to the above topics,
especially free energy, anti-grav, ecology and health will we
survive as the race of Man.
Our primary focus is therefore on these topics with a
particular emphasis on the work of John Worrell Keely in the
area of Vibrational Physics.
We believe that the computer is the ideal means to
efficiently distribute information on the above topics.
We also believe that the three most destructive
modes of thought can be reduced to :
GREED - POWER and EGO.
For these reasons, we openly share all information that we have
with all interested parties unless otherwise restricted by the
donors of sensitive information.
Responsibilty for the use or abuse of such information
invevitably falls on the user.
Page 4
We are currently gathering information which will point to a
hybridized system for sustaining a HOME! This system will
include the following :
1) A free energy or over-unity device capable of
providing a minimum of 10 KW of electrical energy per
unit with the least high-tech requirements possible
2) A device for purifying water and air for use in homes
3) A device for condensing water directly from the air
with cool air as a byproduct
4) Advanced hydroponic and agricultural techniques for
growing the greatest quantity and quality of food
crops in the least space and with the least attention
5) Techniques for increasing the size and quality of meat
sources such as fowl, beef, pork and fish
6) More efficient, yet palatable and health sustaining
foodsources which do not require the destruction of
lower life forms including plants and animals
7) Weather modification techniques (centralized) to
minimize drought, freezing and wind induced damage
8) Techniques for generating light, heat and motor power
which are not necessarily electrically driven
9) Health technologies which will restore an organism to
its optimal energy and functions and which can be
located in the home for use as required
10) Transportation techniques which take advantage of flight
by using levitation brought about by magnetic, sonic,
electric or air moving technologies
The above principles must be non-polluting, safe for humans in
proximity with such technologies and as low-tech as possible.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The following is an Update on April 25, 1992
Despite our intentions to maintain a low profile, we have now
been the subject of at least two magazine articles (to our
knowledge.) One was the December 91' SPY magazine, the latest
was a short article in the April 92' Boardwatch magazine
( devoted to computer bulletin boards ), both national
publications. One of the articles begins with "Forget the
Time/Life Book Series, give KeelyNet a call and you can
generate several books of your own."
From our friends down in Australia, many of our files have been
distributed throughout that country and in fact some were
picked up by the Australian company - BEYOND 2000, which airs
on the Discovery channel. They sent a letter complimenting us
on what they had seen to date and said just from that limited
information they could generate 2 years of shows for BEYOND
Page 5
2000! In fact, one of our files led to the recent airing of an
interview and demonstration with Sandy Kidd, inventor of a
Gyroscopic Levitation System. We currently have that video for
study.
In addition, they sent a check for the purchase of our complete
disk set of text files which we began selling in 1991. This
was to reduce phone costs from having to dial up and download
all our files. We conservatively estimate such an operation
would cost at least $200 in phone costs alone and our files
continue to grow on a monthly basis.
And for 1992, we have established relations with Mr. Per
Lindgren, sysop of the GAS STATION in Gaevle, Sweden. He asked
to become the official Eastern European KeelyNet Affiliate and
we have agreed to exchange files on a regular basis. It
currently costs $1 per minute to link with Sweden. This opens
up entire new vistas since the dissolution of the Soviet Union
has allowed many scientists and researchers to speak on their
projects. Per has graciously volunteered to translate our
files into Scandinavian and Russian, as well as translating
their files into English which will be mailed to us. So that
offers tremendous new avenues of exploration.
We currently have an image capture board, video duplication and
editing/enhancement abilities, image enhancement abilities, a
new FAX board for the computer and will soon have a 9600 BAUD
modem courtesy of Mr. Guy Resh. In addition, we have received
some fascinating videos as well as text documents which will
continue to be added to KeelyNet for public distribution to
those wishing to keep up on what is going on in the various
fields as encompassed by KeelyNet.
Our contacts have spread considerably over the past two years
and we have learned much from those who have so graciously
shared their own particular stash of information as well as
some of their research findings.
On July 15, 1992, KeelyNet will celebrate its 3rd Anniversary
since it was first begun in 1988.
We consider ourselves fortunate to have had the opportunity to
converse and exchange information with so many excellent minds.
------------------------------------------------------------------
The following is an Update on November 18, 1992
In August, we purchased a full page scanner that is intended to
allow us to scan in black and white images such as patents and
circuit diagrams. It can scan 64 grey scale and has a 50 page
sheet feeder. One of our users sent us OCR software to allow us
to directly scan in and translate documents into ASCII useable
text files.
We also have another system we are working on which will have
about 106 MB of free disk space. It will run the newer WILDCAT 3
software and will have 22 file sections and 13 conference areas.
As of November 16th, we have the 9600 modem online and functioning
Page 6
at 9600 BAUD. However, we are "fine-tuning" the initialization
codes to allow the maximum connection of 14,400 bps. When the new
system is ready, the 9600 modem will be connected to it also. It
is quite amazing to watch the transfer of large amounts of data
at such high rates of speed. I watched as about 300KB of files
were sent in less than 6 minutes...incredible. At this rate, all
of our files could be completely downloaded in about two and a
half hours.
Ron has come up with some great programs which allow image
enhancement as well as made a contact who let us scan in the KEELY
lab and equipment pictures as high resolution images. These will
be listed on the new system also.
All KeelyNet text files have always been free to everyone, however
since we have been acquiring new equipment to further expand our
system and abilities, the new system will have an upper technical
section that is accessible ONLY to those who subscribe for this
technical access. The rate will be $30.00 per year with unlimited
downloading. The subscription accessible section will include
patents, circuit diagrams and other technical information. Users
who contribute to our system will be granted full access since
they have proven themselves to be sharers of information. There
are a few who simply take all that they can without sharing or
otherwise contributing in any fashion.
Recently (began October 1992), we began having meetings of
interested individuals to discuss various subjects and exchange
information. We have intentionally kept these meetings small so
that they would not turn into a mob. So far, we have had two
meetings ranging in size from 24 to 28.
We plan to continue these monthly meetings on a regular basis for
the express purpose of exchanging information and ideas.
