Barry Ira Geller – Who is he?
August 28, 2016 was Jack Kirby's 99th Birthday. Barry Ira Geller, Jack Kirby, and the Lord of Light project based upon the novel by Roger Zelazny, have become part of history, forever associated with part of the original 1979 CIA / ARGO Mission which saved the lives of six American hostages in Iran. Pretty cool.
Oct. 27, 2012. The film, Argo -- which was at least 1/3 Hollywood Fiction-- still called attention to that part of my life I'd almost forgotten, what it was like working with the best artist in the work and the best futurists and scientists with the greatest imagination. I decided to make my own page on my own server which will be honest, direct, completely revealing -- and not be constantly deleted by a certain filmmaker's PR group :-) I can be reached at bronxgodzilla@nym.hush.com. For up to date Lord of Light project information, see the Lord of Light website.
The 2012 film has the CIA Argo caper vetoed by the State Dept. at the last minute. In reality, the veto had happened a month earlier. John Chambers, Oscar winner for Planet of the Apes and The Island of Dr. Moreau, was my Makeup SFX man. But it turns out he was working for the CIA as well. Who knew? He'd make White men look like Asians; Black, White, etc. When my Colorado ThemePark project ran into problems in mid-December 1979 John just marched my script and the Lord of Light drawings, which I'd co-designed with Jack Kirby, over to the CIA and the Argo was back on.
I have been told by influencial Iranians the drawings were the convincing factors which made their forefathers believe the CIA was a real film crew. The full discussion (and CIA mission debrief) is detailed on www.lordoflight.com.
In August 2015 the LA Weekly came out with a great article articulating the historical importance of the Geller/Kirby Lord of Light designs - also to come out shortly in Blacklight by Heavy Metal Productions, one of the greatest Fantasy and SciFi publishers.
Heavy Metal Magazine announces Issue #276, which has Kirby Lord of Light covers and 10 pages of all the art -- including an article by me on working together with Jack Kirby and how everything happened.

@1979-80 I am 33 years old. SFL crumbles because a supervising producer who raised private funds illegally & against my attorney's warning. Through an incredible act of Fate, just as things start to crumble, CIA spy Tony Mendez receives my script (see above top) for Lord of Light and the Kirby production designs just in time to create a phony film crew Mission and succeeds in freeing 6 Americans from Iran! For the real full story, go to www.lordoflight.com, where the original designs are on display and more about the CIA. See: CIA Steals Lord of Light Script to get a gander at Mendez, hear him revealing the truth behind the film Argo on the video, as well as see all the film materials' comparison, received from the Freedom of Info Act, included by Mr Mendez assistance, various "Re-Enactments" of what really happened - almost!.
The Hollywood film Argo prefered not to tell the truth of how its Mendez character acquired my screenplay and Kirby designs. Instead makes up at least a third of its story to cover it up. Why? Who really knows, lol. I still say Thank you, Argo! Full story of real Argo comes from the 2007 Wired Magazine article which George Clooney purchased to make the film. Thank you, George! An incredible act of Fate, which again has taken another full turn to reveal the truth and bring back the Project that made Argo possible. @ 40

Create and sell 2 patents on Internet Technology: 1)
E-COMMERCE ENABLING VIRTUAL
STREAMING MULTIMEDIA SERVER, SYSTEM, METHOD AND ARTICLE (2003) 2)
VIRTUAL SERVER CONSUMER
AUTHORIZATION, VERIFICATION AND CREDIT UPDATE METHOD AND ARTICLE
In the past ten years both patents have been cited and IP used as "prior art" in new patents for mobile internet, modern ecommerce transmission systems, iPad devices, banking encryption operations, Identity Encryption Systems (from my 2nd patent), and many other applications -- by companies like Verizon, AT&T, Citrix, Fuji, JumpTap, and Yahoo, Inc. My nascent work as Barry Ira Geller certainly certainly appears to have been influencial in these markets.
@59-60 I received a year's private sponsorship to work
out plans for earlier envisioned Quantum Frequency Coherence (now further revised as "Quantum Constant Resonance") & write paper
for AEC/DOE for grant to apply my new Unifed Field & Unity of Life Perception theories to Dark Energy Analysis: (click=>) Out of 740 applicants, 31 got "into the door." 20 recieved grants; I was among the 11 who did not. Oh well :-)
The paper
showed the employment of various methods of probing and creating standards of measurement of Dark Energy, with relationship to new physics applications of Einstein's Cosmological Constant, the Quantum Electrodynamical work of Feynman, et. al --and harnessing such with 4th Dimensional Cassimer Force tools for potential functionalities of matter construction by thought in zero-point gravity. LOL! Many top physicists are busy figuring out just what Dark Energy really is. I had to read about 30 papers by the world's leading scientists already associated with the DOE in order to see what they are and are not doing and come up with something which I considered was more perceptive. My thesis gets to the quick about perceived real-life applications of harnessing Dark Energy like non-heavy, super-hard building materials and biological regeneration for medical applications -- to name a few. Yes, it's all words and theory until we can come up with serious cash for the creation of a lab, etc.
@62-64 & Build Portal Website, with Blog, Calendar, and Groupware for Rio Arriba County, New Mexico, which integrates 40+ Community Health Organizations and their great activities. Custom Groupware implimented to reduce 40% of time consumption in group operations. A full goto resource site for all members of the Espanola community. @64 New Data Transmission entity and other newly envisioned technologies, are currently being researched and written. My notebook has at least two dozen serious research activities to investigate. I have found Donald C. Broadbent, My old friend and Hologram Physicist, and we are looking at various patents and analysis. @66 August 22, 2014.... With renewed vigor and excitement I have decided to form a new team of scientists from around the world -- and fulfill the dream I had 35 years ago. LOL! I read in the Journal that two of the 2007 approved DOE Scientists' Dark Energy experiments had failed. 2018 Update: ALL the scientists who received DOE Dark Energy Grants in 2007 have failed -- although it is being publicaly said "we've learned a lot." In November of 2014 I sign a 5-year deal with Heavy Metal Productions, licensing them ideas soley for black-light colored poster rights to the Kirby/Geller Lord of Light drawings. Their deal, with their partner and licensee totally ends in November 2019. There may be some stock left so you will find it on their website @67 In the early Spring of 2015, Science Fiction LandTM received its U.S. Trademark and was opened, to begin fathoming various old and new projects and develop new technologies at our new home, www.sciencefictionland.com Let's see what we can do. August 25, 2015, Heavy Metal Magazine, publishes the Lord of Light cover art with my article on working with Jack & dreaming up everything, with 10 pages of Awesome Blacklight versions of the drawings I designed with Jack Kirby. Barry Ira Geller, Jack Kirby, and the Lord of Light project based upon the novel by Roger Zelazny, have become part of history, forever associated with being part of the original 1979 CIA-ARGO Mission which saved the lives of six American hostages in Iran.
