The following are just a few posts that show the time period in which a few people began to use the title "United Free Zone Alliance". A noteworthy transition from "United Free Zone Alliance" to "Free Zone Association" is made by the poster 'Doc Morgan' (aka 'Old Timer').

I got this from Old Timer:
    So there is no confusion as to the legal owner of the domain name, scientologie.org, I offer the following correction:  

    Mr. Luebeck is the administrative contact for the scientologie.org and freezone.org homepages. The domain name is owned by the Free Zone Association (Freie Zone e.V.). The homepages are operated by the association.

The United Free Zone Fellowship came into existence in 1994. The "Free Zone" aspect of the name has nothing to do with the above and the name was inspired by the "Free Zone" in the movie, The Stand, based on the book of Maine author, Stephen King. I am not a "Free Zoner" and there are no "Free Zoners" in the UFZF.

This becomes interesting. We have the "United Free Zone Alliance" and we also have the "United Free Zone Fellowship" both starting about the same time. We also have 'Doc Morgan's' transition from "United Free Zone Alliance" to "Free Zone Association".

If what 'Old Timer' says is true about the Free Zone Association owning the freezone.org domain, then the obvious correlation can be made that the United Free Zone Alliance and the Free Zone Association are one and the same. Basically, all that ocurred here is a name change.

Joe Harrington used the title, "United Free Zone Alliance" as a reference to his involvement in that mysterious group or 'organization'. Additionally, he created the "United Free Zone Fellowship" stating that it (and he) had nothing to do with the Free Zone as defined by CBR. It wouldn't be far off to have that same mindset being applied to the Free Zone Association through the common link of the UFZA.

There are a few things hiding in the shadows here. Among them, the importance of the Nordenholtz book in all this.

(These posts, all found on Google, haven't been entered into the database yet, that's why there are no links on the messages to the full document.)
