HISTORICAL EVENTS IN THE LIFE OF
PUBLIC RELATIONS SPECIALIST CHRIS HARRIS
IT WAS GEORGE DROUILLARD A CANADIAN WHO LED THE LEWIS AND CLARK EXPEDITION NOT SACAGAWEA!
From 2014 to 2019 Chris Harris and Associates supported Cory Skyler Drouillard and his attempt to correct the history of the Lewis and Clark Expedition the way they were written in the Journals of Lewis and Clark. Sacagawea the Indian teenager with baby and the role she played in the Lewis and Clark Expedition is totally based on a myth. The guide and interpreter was Canadian George Drouillard a fourth great uncle to Cory Skyler Drouillard. The American historian today has chosen to reinforce the myth.

ADDING A NEW DIMENSION TO PUBLIC RELATIONS
In the late 1970’s when many corporate public relations firms in America were bewildered with gaining news coverage for their client’s products and services Chris Harris went to the street corners of America with every product from Pepsi Cola to Nintendo calling it the Chris Harris Survey. It was not long before the major public relations firms in the United States came calling to promote their products and services.
IT WAS THE INDIGENOUS TRIBES WHO BUILT THE CALIFORNIA MISSIONS AND WERE THE CULTURAL LIFE
From 2000 to 2005 Chris Harris challenged the Catholic Church regarding the right for the Indigenous tribes of California to have the right to share equal authority over the twenty-one California Missions. Harris staged various events over a period of five years. It was the first time in the history of the California Missions that the accurate story of the Mission life was told. Harris told a reporter standing in the patio of Carmel Mission that the Indigenous tribes of California were forced into slavery under the order of Father Junipero Serra. When the Mission authority ask Harris why he was carrying out his campaign Harris replied, “It is over 200 years later, don’t you think its time the people of California and the country know who built these Missions?"
STUBBLEFIELD SENT VOICE FOUR YEARS BEFORE MARCONI SENT HIS MORSE CODE
When Troy and Josie Cory retained Chris Harris to awaken the American public that it was Troy Cory’s grandfather Nathan B. Stubblefield of Murray, Kentucky who sent voice in 1892, four years before Guglielmo Marconi sent his Morse Code. They never dreamed Harris would challenge the prestigious Smithsonian Institute. In the late 1970’s the Chief Engineer Eliot Sivowitch wrote a book giving credit to Nathan B. Stubblefield as the first to send voice. During Harris’ campaign to gain recognition for Stubblefield Sivowitch gave no credit to Stubblefield when the Associated Press interviewed him. That gave Chris Harris cause to challenge Eliot Sivowitch and the Smithsonian Institute. Harris arranged the re-enactment of the Stubblefield invention staged by Engineer Rick Woods on the lawn of the Smithsonian. The Smithsonian later accepted the papers of Nathan B. Stubblefield. If Stubblefield had trademarked his invention in 1892, he would have been hailed as the father of radio and not Marconi who sent the Morse Code in 1896.

CHRIS HARRIS INVESTIGATED AND IDENTIFIED
THE ZODIAC KILLER AFTER 45 YEARS
THE ZODIAC KILLER AFTER 45 YEARS
During the years the Zodiac Killer was taking lives in the San Francisco bay area Chris Harris was retained by a documentary film company to conduct interviews with law enforcement officials in Napa, Vallejo, and San Francisco. Harris arrived early one morning to meet Napa Undersheriff Tom Johnson to view physical evidence in the Zodiac Killing at Lake Berryessa in Napa. Harris went across the street from the sheriff’s office to a diner to have coffee. After several minutes a man walked in the diner and sat four seats away from Harris. After the man ordered his coffee he turned to Harris and said, “I know who you are.” Harris did not turn to acknowledge the man; feeling he was in the company of the Zodiac Killer. When the man got up to leave, he stood and directed the following message to Chris Harris, “Do you have any idea what it’s like wake up and know you have to kill?” Harris quickly turned and said, “What’ your name?” The man said, “Ben".
It would be 45 years later that Gary Stewart who went in search of his biological father thus discovering the Zodiac Killer as his father being Earl Van Best Jr. When Harris saw the photo on the cover of the book by Stewart entitled, "THE MOST DANGEROUS ANIMAL OF ALL" he declared that is the man I met in the diner many years ago. While there have been numerous names given to the identity of the Zodiac Killer Chris Harris is convinced the killer is Earl Van Best Jr. who is deceased and buried in Mexico. Harris has said, “The San Francisco police know that, and they continue year after year to deny the fingerprints from the cab in the death of the cab driver Paul Stein and an earlier arrest of Earl Van Best Jr. are a definite match identifying Earl Van Best Jr. as the Zodiac Killer.” Those people with no lives on the Internet making the Zodiac Killer their life ambition have played into the police namely the San Francisco police denying they have the evidence that states CASE CLOSED with the fingerprint evidence of Earl Van Best Jr. from the death of Paul Stein and an earlier arrest of Earl Van Best Jr. that are a match. Let’s stop with all those teams of fools with codes and gathering of people claiming they have solved the Zodiac mystery.
Chris Harris was friends with Paul Avery of the San Francisco Chronicle. Paul told Chris that the San Francisco Police and their investigation of Zodiac is flawed. Chris Harris says to all those Internet sleuths “GET A LIFE.” BEFORE YOU GET THAT LIFE DEMAND THAT THE SAN FRANCISCO POLICE ALLOW A CREDIBLE FORENSIC TEAM INVESTIGATE THE PHYSICAL EVIDENCE BELOGING TO EARL VAN BEST JR.

FIRST NATIONAL UFO SURVEY
In 1938 the late actor Orson Wells struck panic with his Mercury Radio broadcast War of the Worlds. Wells had convinced his radio audience that Martians had landed and were not offering an olive branch of peace. They had come to occupy our cities. That broadcast struck fear in the hearts and minds of people across the United States.
In 1978 Harris was summoned to promote a product called Future Flight an aerodynamic toy resembling a frisbee that was actually a UFO toy. Harris suggested to the manufacturer that he would do a UFO survey asking people on the busy street corners of America, “What would you do if a UFO landed in your city?" The manufacturer and the public relations company were a little hesitant knowing the fear Orson Wells had spread in 1938. However, Steven Spielberg with his CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF A THIRD KIND had erased the fear of UFO’s and alien occupation. Harris was told to keep it lighthearted in other words let them laugh and laugh along with them. Well, they didn’t laugh they smiled and gave revealing opinions about life beyond our planet. Curiosity had replaced fear.
For over three months in 1978 Chris Harris visited cities across the country to discover that most Americans knew that our government is not giving them the truth about those flying objects in the skies over their cities. Our flyboys the Navy pilots who report sightings almost on a daily basis know as they observe their speed and maneuver ability. They know for sure we are definitely not alone.
During that National UFO survey promoting that toy Future Flight Dr. J Allen Hynek the former director of Project Bluebook contacted Harris. Dr. Hynek ask if he could hear the recorded interviews during Harris survey. Harris said, "I made those interviews available to Dr. Hynek at the conclusion of the survey. Sir Eric M. Gairy the Prime Minister of Grenada called me informing me that he had witnessed many UFOs over his Island nation. That survey in 1978 to sell a product sold hundreds if not thousands of people on the reality that there is life beyond our planet."
