Hi Adrian,

As intriguing as the idea of earning points by
watching ads on websites is, I decided not to go
to the site you mentioned and sign up.

Instead, I went to several well-known child porn-

 (Just fooling around...)
 
 The great Diirghatamas (Long darkness?), son of Ucathya  
 (Aucathyo Diirghatamaa [sic!] RSiH) has written the suuktas
 140 through 164 of the first maNDala of Rgveda.
 
 One of the kewlest suuktas of the Rgveda, IMO, is, well,
 that suukta called asya-vaamasya (I 164). The famous
 Rco akSare -verse is the 39th one of that suukta. The 
 second hemistich of that verse goes like this:
 
 samhitaa-paaTha (sentence-reading):
 
 yas tan na veda kim Rcaa kariSyati,
 ya it tad vidus ta ime samaasate.
 
 pada-paaTha (= word reading) i.e., without sandhi:
 
 yaH | tat | na | veda | kim | Rcaa | kariSyati |
 ye  | it  | tat | viduH | te | ime | samaasate |

The interesting thing in that hemistich is that 
ignorance is presented by singular forms of the predicate
verb and subject: He, who (yaH) that (tat) not (na)
veda (knows) what [kind of] (kim) use shall he make [?aarrgghh:
kariSyati?] of the verses (Rcaa: instrumental singular[?]
from 'Rk', as in Rg-veda  Rk + veda).
OTOH, the state of Enlightenment(?) is presented
by Diirghatamas using a plural sentence.

IMO, only the verb form 'viduH' reveals that the sentence
is in plural, because (I believe) also the sequence
yaH (singular) | it | tat |... would result to the sandhi form
ya it tat

The form 'ye' (plural) becomes 'ya' if it's followed by any other
vowel that *short* 'a'. So, why couldn't Diirgha use some other
verse filler instead of 'it' (dictionary form: id), to make the 
subject of the sentence unambiguous? Well, I'm prolly reading way 
too much into that...

id  ind. Ved. (probably the neut. form of the pronom. base %{i} see 
3. %{i} ; a particle of affirmation) even , just , only ; indeed , 
assuredly (especially , in strengthening an antithesis , e.g. %
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@asat} , as the gods wish it , thus 
indeed it will be RV. viii , 28 , 4 ; %
[EMAIL PROTECTED]@[EMAIL PROTECTED]@debhuH} , the enemies wishing indeed 
to hurt were in nowise able to hurt RV. i , 147 , 3). %{id} is often 
added to words expressing excess or exclusion (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED] , 
every one indeed ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] , constantly indeed ; [EMAIL PROTECTED] , 
one only). At the beginning of sentences it often adds emphasis to 
pronouns , prepositions , particles (e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED] , thou indeed ; 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] , if indeed , c.) %{id} occurs often in the R2ig-veda 
and Atharva-veda , seldom in the Bra1hman2as , and its place is 
taken in classical Sanskr2it by %{eva} and other particles.

no group took credit for it; its an evolving world regardless

 Yeah, evidently is more to know about this. I asked around of kids 
 of her age and found one who knew her and went to school with her. 
 There is a story there.
 
 So is it a story she wants told or kept private?
 
 

Ask her  around.  Evidently was close to guys on the Purusha program 
too.  Some of them might help with the know.  

Are people on the movement's Mother Divine program campus students or 
just paying volunteers?  They seem to be included in the numbers 
of students as those numbers get touted.  

Shemp's law generally makes for a legitimate public welfare interest 
in this:

always the question of a person in an institution who is in a
position of authority and whether they are taking advantage of an
underling, be it a student or an employee or a potential employee or
student. (spouse of any or trustee or director or co-worker)

Was Hagelin in a position of authority at the time? Well, even if he
wasn't, he was by virtue of being John Hagelin and this being the TMO.

Was she a student? Someone posted here that she wasn't...but was she
in the TMO? An employee...potential employee or student?

Sorry, these things come into play.




-Yes, proly is law as well as regulation about this.
OR are the ethics standards at MUM just in the same category as their 
accounting standard.  Their own generally accepted practices and 
standards etc.  They have no ethic standard in practice, or am I

24 pastors and was a media powerhouse. By soliciting tithes of 10
percent from each member's income, the church was able to build a

 Ask her  around.  Evidently was close to guys on the Purusha program 
 too.  Some of them might help with the know.  
 
 Are people on the movement's Mother Divine program campus students or 
 just paying volunteers?  They seem to be included in the numbers 
 of students as those numbers get touted.  
 
 Shemp's law generally makes for a legitimate public welfare interest 
 in this:
 
 always the question of a person in an institution who is in a
 position of authority and whether they are taking advantage of an
 underling, be it a student or an employee or a potential employee or
 student. (spouse of any or trustee or director or co-worker)
 
 Was Hagelin in a position of authority at the time? Well, even if he
 wasn't, he was by virtue of being John Hagelin and this being the TMO.
 
 Was she a student? Someone posted here that she wasn't...but was she
 in the TMO? An employee...potential employee or student?
 
 Sorry, these things come into play.
 
 
 
 
 -Yes, proly is law as well as regulation about this.
 OR are the ethics standards at MUM just in the same category as their 
 accounting standard.  Their own generally accepted practices and 
 standards etc.  They have no ethic standard in practice, or am I 
 missing something on their web-page?  MUM receives US Federal funding 
 of any kind?
 
 Truth will proly prevail in this  i pray for all their good health

[FairfieldLife] Barry Wright's well-known child pornography sites

1) I've been on the internet for 10 years and although I am aware of 
the concept of child pornography and that it appears somewhere on the 
internet, I wouldn't know where to look for a child pornography site 
EVEN IF I GOOGLED IT.  Yet Barry Wright is familiar enough with child 
pornography that he knows which ones are well-known.  H.

2) Adrian has committed the terrible crime of forum spamming (see 
http://tinyurl.com/2eb8sk).  How horrible.  Adrian is wasting our 
time by making pocket money.  Kinda like the solicitations we all 
used to get in the '70s and '80s by recently recruited Amway salesmen 
trying to get us to go to one of their pep rallies to sign us up so 
that we become part of their downline.  The difference here, of 
course, is that Adrian wastes about 5 seconds of my time as I read 
his silly post whereby the Amway people used to waste about 5 hours 
of my time if I got suckered into going to one of their meetings (it 
happened to me at least twice with Amway and about 3 times with other 
multi-level marketing solicitations).

3) In punishment for his crime, Barry Wright has put Adrian into a 
position of actually being accused of a very real crime (can you 
say Pete Townsend?).  He has done what is probably the meanest, 
lowest thing that can be done on the internet: he has pretended to be 
someone he is not and misrepresented another person's username.  And 
not just anywhere but feeding it into a child pornography site, a 
place that I would assume Adrian has never, ever visited nor has a 
desire to visit.  

Barry has framed Adrian.  Barry has become upset because Adrian 
wasted about 5 seconds of Barry's time and has therefore deemed it 
justice that to put Adrian in a very real position of having to deal 
with authorities is equivalent to what Adrian did to Barry.

If I were Adrian, I would, instead, alert said authorities to Barry's 
crime which was (1) identity theft; and (2) identity theft for the

I went to MIU at the same time as Curtis.

There is someone whom we both went to MIU with who then became a well-

[FairfieldLife] Egypt and Palestine -- Potential good new?

2008-01-23 Thread The Secret
http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/01/23/israel.gaza/index.html

If you read The Haj by Leon Uris you'll learn that the Israelis
wanted to offer their great prosperity to the people already there and
live together in peace. You go your way, I'll go mine, we'll share the
prosperity.  Saudi Arabia and Jordan stirred the shit by forming a
pan-Arab pact to expel all of the Palestinian refuges and to prevent
them from entering their borders.  The Palestinians, historically
nomadic, would have been happy to stay in Egypt or wherever.

So, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi, if you call these people your Arab brothers,
show the world just how you treat brothers and we'll have an end to
the Middle East problem in a few months.

I am not speaking out of a pro-Israel agenda, I'm just pro putting
your hospitality where your mouth is.  And I'd like the full history
of this mess to be clear to all.  This area is very intimate to me
because I spend a lot of time there.

Juno is pushing $100 million box office domestically.  Vanessa 
Paradis -- who is about 32 years old now -- sells millions of CDs 
worldwide.  Ellen Page is 20 years old.

These kinds of successes don't happen just because they appeal to the 
pedophile demographic but because they have universal appeal.

Hard for Barry to imagine but it is possible to enjoy the acting and 
singing talents of young women for something other than their naked 
bodies (Hmmm...wasn't it Barry who recently waxed enthusiastically on 
this very forum about the joys of dating younger women?  And now he's 
telling us of his familiarity with pedophile sites?)

We had an excellent writing program our first year at MIU.  They
really emphasized it and taught me the mantra writing is rewriting.

Of course I know who you are talking about.  If you are trying to say
that because MIU had some good educational programs then the movement
should be excused from any other coercive behavior, then you are
expressing a feature of dysfunctional relationships.  In a personal
setting loving someone doesn't give you any rights for abuse.

No group is all bad or all good.  Even the most undisputed cults have
some good especially in their into courses.  That is not the point.

I don't suppose you ever met with families desperate to have contact
with their kids who had disappeared into a group, so you may not
imagine the emotional cost to a family.  His work is about
reconnecting families with lost kids.  It was not an attack on the
movement.  If the movement took it as an attack it might have been
because the shoe fit a bit too much.  Identifying cult tactics in a
group should have been an invitation to knock it off.  But the
antidote is information, and now that the information is available,
people can make their own choices.  That is a good thing IMO.

Now with the Rajas in the open and TM involvement dying off, the whole
cult topic is kinda dead concerning TM.  But there are other vibrant
and much more dangerous groups now and the information of how people's
beliefs change in a social setting is important knowledge.  The 19 
hijackers were well educated men.  How did they adapt a belief in
suicide?  These are important questions and thought reform theory
helps us understand.

You are always the first on the bandwagon to monitor over-posting on

Now, put your little thinking cap on and ask yourself: what is worse, 
over-posting or identity theft?

And since you're now claiming that you didn't actually do it, ask 
yourself: what is worse: over-posting or PRETENDING to steal one's 
identity and PRETENDING to visit child porn sites and PRETENDING to 
frame someone of feeding their usernames into a porn site?

I got a two-week suspension for my horrible crime.  What do you 
think should be visited upon you?

No, I am not saying that at all.  I myself am critical of the

What I'm saying is: he should go ahead and criticize the movement all

But since we're on the topic of this particular person (who I am 
being sensitive about actually naming in light of the recent 
disclosure of the name of John Hagelin's student paramour and the 
flap that has been causing the person who named names) I would also 
add that this person's TM story -- that is, how he came to TM and 
innocently became indoctrinated -- which I have read online is full 
of alot of bunk.  This particular person IN HIS FIRST SEVERAL MONTHS 
AT MIU in '75 was in close contact with fundamentalist Christians who 
were ex-TMers and who were actively working against the TMO and TM.  
And he received reams of documents about all the secrets of TM and 
all the negative accusations about the alleged cult dangers of TM.  

He knew it all.

But when you read his story, it comes across that NONE of this was 
known to him and yet he was somehow slowly and unknowingly 
brainwashed into the TM cult.

But the opposite was true: this person had FULL disclosure from the 
get-go.  But when he left the movement he painted a much different 
picture.  And this was dishonest.









  In a personal
 setting loving someone doesn't give you any rights for abuse.
 
 No group is all bad or all good.  Even the most undisputed cults 
have
 some good especially in their into courses.  That is not the point.
 
 I don't suppose you ever met with families desperate to have contact
 with their kids who had disappeared into a group, so you may not
 imagine the emotional cost to a family.  His work is about
 reconnecting families with lost kids.  It was not an attack on the
 movement.  If the movement took it as an attack it might have been
 because the shoe fit a bit too much.  Identifying cult tactics in a
 group should have been an invitation to knock it off.  But the
 antidote is information, and now that the information is available,
 people can make their own choices.  That is a good thing IMO.
 
 Now with the Rajas in the open and TM involvement dying off, the 
whole
 cult topic is kinda dead concerning TM.  But there are other vibrant
 and much more dangerous groups now and the information of how 
people's
 beliefs change in a social setting is important knowledge.  The 19 
 hijackers were well educated men.  How did they adapt a belief in
 suicide?  These are important questions and thought reform theory
 helps us understand.

Defaming someone requires a lie.  Truth is a defense.  If the

Yelling at someone or calling someone names is rarely going to be

No he didn't because I didn't either.  The Christians who came on
campus were peddling a pretty wacky version of beliefs about TM that
didn't effect me at all.  They were claiming demonic influences and a
half baked concept of cult mind control.  It was easy to dismiss. 
What he came across in seeing his sister getting exit counseled out of
 a Christian cult was the information from Singer and Lifton's
perspective.  This information was very different in detail and
insight about group coercion. 

 
 But when you read his story, it comes across that NONE of this was

 brainwashed into the TM cult.
 
 But the opposite was true: this person had FULL disclosure from the

The only counter view of MMY's teachings I had was the wacky Christian
one.  When I finally interacted with the Lifton-Singer perspective it
was completely new to me, and for me, more compelling than MMY's view.
  Now people can choose which view suits their experience better.

When we were at MIU the Jonestown thing happened.  This was what
really light a fire under the academic community to study groups more
throughly.  The information he found persuasive was not available
until after we graduated outside academic circles.  The information
entered popular culture with Steve Hassin's book, Combating Cult Mind
Control in about '88 when it rocked my world.

Our friend (mine anyway) helped me as I sought more information to
make a more informed decision about my TM involvement.  He is a
sincere guy.  People like you, who value TM and don't buy in to the
group think, can enjoy meditating knowing many optional POV's on it.
 That seems like informed consent to me.

--Don't you dare send her to Mayo, Rick. That's a death sentence: 
more radiation, chemo, and surgery; midieval practices befitting a 
society of midieval retards that will only result in a downward 
spiral to a quick demise.  Speaking of quacks, Mayo is years behind 
even the most advanced orthodox medical schools like UCLA (which 
promotes the use of curcumin).
  She should start on the alternative program immediately, not a day 
to waste.  
Here's a longer list targeted toward alleviation bladder problems - 
should be taken throughout the day in small doses, on an empty 
stomach.  Then, followed by an alternative regimen that will attack 
the cancer in any part of the body with downside as to the types of 
side effects associated with the barbaric quackery offered by Mayo.

FIRST: get the following combination of nutraceuticals, available 
from Swanson Health products, the Vitamin Shoppe, or any other 
reputable retailer:
 1.  Calcium D-Glucarate
 2.  IP-6 (Inositol Hexaphosphate)
 3.  Graminex flower pollen extract (imported from Europe, for the 
uninary tract).
 4.  MCP (Modifed Citrus Pectin) - preferably Pectasol brand.  
Swanson's tacked their own label on MCP, calling it PectiPure.
 5. D-Mannose - a glyconutrient effective for maintaining a healthy 
urinary tract.

SECOND; get a broad spectrum anti-cancer set of nutraceuticals that 
will target the cancer regardless of the type; including assitance 
for the liver.

1. Broccoli Extract with Glucosinolates
2. Blueberry extract
3. Pomegranate extract
4. BCM-95 tumeric extract with 95% curcuminoids, available from Life 
Extension foundation.  Make SURE the label says that it has the BCM-
95 curcumin.
5. 7-HMR Lignans
6. Quercetin
7. DIM Comples with I3C  (DIM = dindolymethane).
8. Vit. D
9. Silymarin - standardized extract from milk thistle.

Take all of the above and your friend has a good chance of complete 
recovery. OR,go to Mayo and say goodbye to friends and relatives.

Subject: MESSAGE FROM HOWARD SETTLE
From: Raja John Hagelin [EMAIL PROTECTED]

http://invincibleamerica.org/

Dear Governors, Sidhas, and Meditators,

When I think of great human beings-and truly great American heroes-I 
think of Howard and Alice Settle. Longtime Yogic Flyers, Howard and 
Alice have, through their extraordinary intelligence and organizing 
power, been blessed with great material abundance. Fortunately for 
America and the world, Howard and Alice are deeply devoted to 
Maharishi and his Total Knowledge. They have chosen to share a very 
large portion of their wealth to support Maharishi's programs to 
create invincibility in America and Heaven on Earth.


You may or may not be aware of this, but Howard and Alice have 
donated an astonishing $1 million each month for the past 15 months 
to support the Yogic Flyers on our Invincible America 
Assembly-including the Vedic Pandits. It is their ongoing generosity 
that is allowing America to rise to invincibility and remain 
steadfast amidst the many economic, social, and even meteorological 
storms that have blown our way.


Last week, on January 12, Howard celebrated his birthday and was 
joyously feted on Maharishi's Global Family Chat. The following is a 
transcript of his eloquent remarks at the conclusion of that 
wonderful day-a day when, incidentally, the number of Yogic Flyers in 
the Domes exceeded the Super Radiance number of 1730. (Unfortunately, 
since then, the numbers have fallen again to around 1500.) Please 
listen carefully to the words of this very wise, highly enlightened 
man. Please take his words deeply into your heart-and act on them.


With great love and appreciation,

Jai Guru Dev

MESSAGE FROM HOWARD SETTLE

On his birthday, January 12, 2008

http://streaming.globalcountry.net/settle_smallest.mp3Listen to the 
Audio of Howard's Message



Transcript: I would like to take this opportunity to speak to all of 
the Sidhas in America and throughout the world about the 
extraordinary gift that Maharishi has given us in the form of the 
Invincible Assemblies.


Maharishi has given us the opportunity to create an invincible 
world-a world without enemies-a world of peace, prosperity, joy, 
happiness, and profound bliss.


The formula to achieve this incredible goal for mankind is so very 
simple, and it is completely within our grasp. Maharishi has given us 
the technology to achieve the impossible through a procedure so easy 
and blissful that it defies imagination-and yet it is true, and it 
has been tested and proven.


The technology, of course, is an Invincible Assembly in every 
nation-a Super Radiance group of Yogic Flyers in every country.


We have such an assembly in America, and I am very gratified to see 
that in the last day or two we have achieved the Super Radiance 
numbers once again.


We have been given the knowledge of the mechanics of these 
Invincible Assemblies as a formula-the square root of 1% of the 
nation's population-but I would like to discuss the benefits for each 
of us in terms of my field of experience, which is business.


There is an important principle in business which Maharishi has 
described as 'do less and accomplish more.' For any business 
transaction, you want to invest as little as possible, but in return 
you want to receive as much as possible.


We have the tools to calculate how efficient we are at this 
principle of 'do less and accomplish more': we calculate the return 
on investment and the rate of return.


In business, if you can achieve a 2 to 1 return on your investment 
over a period of a year, your calculated rate of return is 100%, and 
this is pretty good. In fact, if I offered each of you a 100% rate of 
return, it would be insane not to take advantage of an investment as 
favorable as that.


By contrast, Raja Hagelin has informed us that the influence we 
create in the Super Radiance groups is equal to the square root of 
1%. The easiest way to calculate this effect is to multiply the 
number of Yogic Flyers by 100. So yesterday, with 1750 Yogic Flyers 
in the Invincible America Assembly, each of you had the effect of 
providing a positive influence of coherence to 175,000 of your fellow 
citizens. In other words, the return on investment of a single Yogic 
Flyer in the Assembly yesterday was 175,000 to 1; and this return did 
not take a year, but occurred within 3 hours. I haven't calculated 
the rate of return on this investment of your time, but it approaches 
infinity.


This return to each of you on the Assembly is on an investment far 
more precious than money. It is a return on your action-your karma. 
And the result will be a continuous stream of positive influence in 
your life that will grow each day as you participate in the Assembly.


There is no more efficient mechanism in the universe to accomplish 
so much for so little. This is the extraordinary gift of Maharishi

yifuxero, you make some pretty bold claims about cure. What is your

blueberries and tumeric is not a cure. I don't want to digress too

Spontaneous remission of cancers is not unheard of.  That is one
reason why you never hear about a 100% death rate, even for cancers
like pancreatic cancers.  The problem is determining the cause of the
remission.  You friend's outcome and similar cases are very
interesting to scientists as they try to explore possible cures.
However, often it isn't a remission at all, but an incorrect diagnosis.

Human nature encourages attributing cause for both good and bad
outcomes whether or not there is evidence.

As far as the doctor, if the facts as you relay them are correct, the
doctor sounds like he had major issues.

Yup, medicine can be harder than one might think.

Sometimes it does take a lot of tries, a lot of poking around, and

[FairfieldLife] this sex thing goes a lot deeper

2008-01-23 Thread Ben Gilberti
  
Well, as I’ve been reading the various replies to the sex post on a couple 
different Forums, I'm thinking, you know what, this whole thing goes a lot 
deeper than we dare to even imagine.   I'm talking about very severe 
psychological mutilation, fearfully hidden, and if you start exposing it it 
feels like an attack.
   
  Of course, to expose a fearfully hidden mutilation is not an attack but a 
step towards healing.  But to allow that mutilation to remain hidden because 
its exposure is feared, is to allow both the fear and the mutilation both to 
remain.  The ego’s pretense of benign normality is a desperate attempt to 
conceal the intolerable madness that knows it’s very existence is an absolute 
fraud.  Only the monstrous masculinity of viciously aggressive deceit could 
sustain such a fragile charade, hence making the fragility of feminine 
tenderness a mortal threat.  And so masculinity has been caricatured into a 
horrific travesty of cruelty and torture, and femininity bludgeoned lifeless to 
neutralize the dreadful peril it’s feared to be.
   
  Disabled Creativity disables spiritual progress and disabled sexuality 
disables Creativity, and disabled, maimed, distorted, repressed, denied, 
perverted, feared, abused, misused, misunderstood, misperceived, blocked, 
misconstrued, slandered, concealed, lied about, dysfunctional, imbalanced, 
frustrated, impotent, frigid, maligned, hated, twisted, condemned sexuality is 
the most widespread and deeply entrenched pathological disorder that afflicts 
the human race.   Wilhelm Reich called it the emotional plague, and he was 
absolutely right.   It’s the ego’s most successful castration of spiritual 
growth because the ego’s got so many people supporting that castration in the 
name of spiritual well-being.
   
  To better understand the necessity of balancing masculinity and femininity 
within each individual, notice the obvious results if one or the other is 
disabled.  
   
  The womanly woman is passive, receptive, accepting, nurturing, but not of 
anything that she herself intends, so her nurturing acceptance must always be 
at the service of others, making her a doormat at best and a slave at worst, or 
worst yet an entirely dysfunctional basket case of no benefit either to herself 
or to anyone else. 
   
  The manly man is bristling with assertive intention and forceful initiative.  
But all his intentions and initiatives that would be of a Creative nature, 
instead of being accepted and nurtured by him to their full fruition, maturity 
and completeness, they are callously, impatiently and insensitively abandoned 
by him and nothing becomes of them.  Furious that his grandiose and egotistical 
assertiveness falls impotent, yet with an intense denial, repression and 
aversion of the innate femininity that would render him Creative, he turns his 
assertiveness to aggressive destructiveness where it produces the vivid and 
grandiose results that his egotism craves, and so he further infects the planet 
with another manly man waging destructive war in boardrooms, in politics, in 
military combat, in domestic violence and so on. 
   
  The male ego is in such a profound state of pathological deformity that it 
would rather see the world destroyed than to discover the inner femininity that 
would restore it’s wholeness.  Fortunately, those of us who are willing to 
balance ourselves back into our natural Androgyny will embrace these terrified 
fellows with the patience, forgiveness and compassion that will heal them of 
the traumatic mutilation they’ve suffered in the face of society’s monstrous 
gender schizophrenia.  
   
  Alright, I didn't mean to rant and rave. But actually, this stuff does far 
more damage left deeply hidden and denied.  Unpleasant to expose, but much 
worse to hide.

Much Love,

 See you
 
 Hi Adrian,

 As intriguing as the idea of earning points by
 watching ads on websites is, I decided not to go
 to the site you mentioned and sign up.

 Instead, I went to several well-known child porn-
 ography sites and entered your username as a sub-
 scriber. I'm sure this will help you to earn points
 as well, although of a slightly different kind, and
 possibly from law enforcement authorities.

 See you.
   
 1) I've been on the internet for 10 years and although I am aware of 
 the concept of child pornography and that it appears somewhere on the 
 internet, I wouldn't know where to look for a child pornography site 
 EVEN IF I GOOGLED IT.  Yet Barry Wright is familiar enough with child 
 pornography that he knows which ones are well-known.  H.

 2) Adrian has committed the terrible crime of forum spamming (see 
 http://tinyurl.com/2eb8sk).  How horrible.  Adrian is wasting our 
 time by making pocket money.  Kinda like the solicitations we all 
 used to get in the '70s and '80s by recently recruited Amway salesmen 
 trying to get us to go to one of their pep rallies to sign us up so 
 that we become part of their downline.  The difference here, of 
 course, is that Adrian wastes about 5 seconds of my time as I read 
 his silly post whereby the Amway people used to waste about 5 hours 
 of my time if I got suckered into going to one of their meetings (it 
 happened to me at least twice with Amway and about 3 times with other 
 multi-level marketing solicitations).

 3) In punishment for his crime, Barry Wright has put Adrian into a 
 position of actually being accused of a very real crime (can you 
 say Pete Townsend?).  He has done what is probably the meanest, 
 lowest thing that can be done on the internet: he has pretended to be 
 someone he is not and misrepresented another person's username.  And 
 not just anywhere but feeding it into a child pornography site, a 
 place that I would assume Adrian has never, ever visited nor has a 
 desire to visit.  

 Barry has framed Adrian.  Barry has become upset because Adrian 
 wasted about 5 seconds of Barry's time and has therefore deemed it 
 justice that to put Adrian in a very real position of having to deal 
 with authorities is equivalent to what Adrian did to Barry.

 If I were Adrian, I would, instead, alert said authorities to Barry's 
 crime which was (1) identity theft; and (2) identity theft for the 
 purpose of framing another.
 


 Of course I didn't really DO what I said I did.
 That's just my standard response to spammers, to 
 make them think about what they risk by posting 
 their email addresses to people whose privacy
 they have invaded with their spam.  

 But it's interesting that Shemp has gotten his
 panties in a twist over this. Maybe he's worried
 that some of his favorite sites will get shut down.
 I mean, this IS the guy who's ga-ga over Juno and
 Vanessa Paradis and other jailbait, if I remember
 correctly.  :-)
Oh gee Barry, you're raining all over Shemp and Adrian's free 
enterprise dream that is going to make them billionaires some day (or

 A friend of a friend has inoperable cancer. Does anyone know of a
 residential cancer treatment center that follows a natural or holistic

 happen.



   
 Is she in this part of the country? I suggest that first she go to
 Mayo and get thoroughly evaluated. In the evaluation she should
 mention her desire for a holistic approach. She may actually get some
 good recommendations from Mayo.

 I know this is going against the grain here. But, this is life and
 death. If she hasn't had an outside evaluation by the appropriate
 specialists, she needs one. They also can help her make her way
 through the bogus regimens. 

 I didn't know when I first posted this, but it's bladder cancer and
 
 is now
   
 in her lungs. I think she's gone the allopathic route, which doesn't
 
 offer
   
 any hope, and is looking at alternatives, without false expectations.

 

 I am so sorry.  I see why her docs have said it is not curable.
 Sometimes chemo is used to shrink the lung tumors, but odds are it
 won't do much but buy a little time.  

 I am sorry to say but there is no indication that any holistic
 treatments are going to help.  What would you want to do when faced
 with the end of life?  I know I would want to be near those I love,
 and have my pain and other symptoms managed to the extent possible. 

 Be kind to your friend and if it helps her to consider possible
 alternative treatments, there is no harm.  But I would consider gently
 discouraging long trips to far flung places. 
The best cure is prevention.  Keep the immune system strong so it can 
trump any start of a tumor.   Unfortunately many of the allopathic 
therapies are worse than the disease and often just wind up delaying the 
inevitable.  And unfortunately (as you point out) holistic therapies 
aren't going to help if the cancer is too far along.



[FairfieldLife] Are you not already here?

2008-01-23 Thread Duveyoung
I posted this at my favorite astronomy site today -- it shows my brand
of evangelism-without-quite-being-off-topic.

The thread I was responding to was about how important it is to get
humanity off planet and distributed before some bigass whack hits the
Earth -- super volcano, asteroid impact, singularity, doesn't matter.
 The site's typical reader has a PhD in a hard science and publishes
papers in journals, so I'm vastly under-credentialed to post there,
but the owner of the site has written me privately that he likes my
sermons sprinkled across the threads.  So yay for that.

The piece:

Good news: we're already succeeded!

(Prepare for a sermon. Cut me a break. Live on my side of the fence
for a few paragraphs.)

With all our talk about humans transforming into other creatures
that fit new ecosystems or, even, nesting inside AI machines, I
ponder often what it is that we think we are preserving when each new
embodiment of mind that moves us father from our original home:
the human brain.

At sixty-three years of age, I know about attrition.

I know how my mind has changed over the decades and how many
usefulness-outlived toys I long ago left on the cluttered floor of
my history — careers, skill sets, passions, fads, educational degrees,
friends, religions, dogmas, ideals, morals — every time I examine
myself, I find a constantly evolving into other forms of being me.
Fifty six years ago, for a few days, a Schwinn bike was my whole
reason for getting out of bed.

Whoever arrives on distant orbs will have notions we cannot resonate
with, and in all probability they will not have any deeper grasp than
we do about what the next step for civilization should be, though
they may have a long list of could be's.

There is a way to ENTIRELY pierce this uncertainty about the future of us.

To see our history of literally emerging from a chemical soup and
finally devising a brain that can begin to comprehend a universe so
vast, I doubt if anyone here thinks that humanity is the only
intelligent life in the cosmos — surely the intelligence that's
behind the impulse to organize matter into ever more complex states
(local decrease in entropy) is as potent a force in nature as the
second law of thermodynamics.

Since we are so comfortable with becoming engineered organisms or
robots, why not just IDENTIFY with life in general? After all,
humanity is thought to be moving into, what?, thousands of other kinds
of operational modalities, and soonish enough, the varieties of
vehicles of thought will be so expansive as to constitute numerous
distinct species — or, well, life

This is something everyone can do: dwell upon the concept of pure
life being our deepest nature and that somewhere somewhen there will
be a form of us evolving and pushing AWARENESS into the cosmos. To
hold one's breath and only want our present meat robots to be the
future us, is a myopic parochial chauvinism — yet it is sinless to
adore being what we are in particular — that's cool, eh?

Folks, we ARE that very wave front of awareness.

We can be found thinking that we are the tippy top top of bestest
mostest awareness as it is expressed here on earth, but miss not that
everything ELSE is as pristinely AWARE as we. While we are, ahem, the
preferred embodiment of that awareness that we wish to preserve, it is
equally true that that awareness is found in the least creature — even
bacterium are now known to communicate with chemicals they emit.
Indeed, where ISN'T awareness found? Every religion holds this to be
true: awareness is the basis of existence — for example, Christ says
that the rocks themselves would cry out if He were to stop preaching
the truth. Even the rocks!!!

I know. I know. You've never met a talking rock. Don't miss the
concept in the bath water. Awareness is the primal identity — what car
I drive, what clothes I wear, whatever today's ideas are that flood
my mind, these things will change, but the basic awareness principle
will not. This is a principle already active throughout the entirety
of existence.

We already are on the most distant planet, and they will know that
we are over here too.

When I look into the dark, I know my eyes are not able to resolve it
into the faint dots of light it contains; my meat bot's camera lens
just cannot cut it, but teleologically I know that what I call I
is already cooking up spicy dishes for itself to consume in every dark
corner-that-is-not-actually-dark. Somewhere there is a virus in pure
glee as it finds a host, elsewhere a germ pogosticks with delight to
find its preferred carbon source, or a whole planet's Gaia has found a
way to become, with each species being a tissue, an immense
brain/mind/telescope/knower. What matters it to us if the talking-dog
only wants to discuss bones recently dug up, or if a copper molecule
snuggles up (migrates) to another copper molecule as
like-attracts-like in an alloy. A bird of a feather knows another and
resonance and attraction and communication

 Well, as I've been reading the various replies to the sex post on a
couple different Forums, I'm thinking, you know what, this whole thing

very severe psychological mutilation, fearfully hidden, and if you
start exposing it it feels like an attack.
 
 Of course, to expose a fearfully hidden mutilation is not an
attack but a step towards healing. But to allow that mutilation to
remain hidden because its exposure is feared, is to allow both the
fear and the mutilation both to remain. The ego's pretense of benign
normality is a desperate attempt to conceal the intolerable madness
that knows it's very existence is an absolute fraud. Only the
monstrous masculinity of viciously aggressive deceit could sustain
such a fragile charade, hence making the fragility of feminine
tenderness a mortal threat. And so masculinity has been caricatured
into a horrific travesty of cruelty and torture, and femininity
bludgeoned lifeless to neutralize the dreadful peril it's feared to
be. 
 
 Disabled Creativity disables spiritual progress and disabled
sexuality disables Creativity, and disabled, maimed, distorted,
repressed, denied, perverted, feared, abused, misused, misunderstood,
misperceived, blocked, misconstrued, slandered, concealed, lied about,
dysfunctional, imbalanced, frustrated, impotent, frigid, maligned,
hated, twisted, condemned sexuality is the most widespread and deeply
entrenched pathological disorder that afflicts the human race. 
Wilhelm Reich called it the emotional plague, and he was absolutely
right. It's the ego's most successful castration of spiritual growth
because the ego's got so many people supporting that castration in the
name of spiritual well-being.
 
 To better understand the necessity of balancing masculinity and
femininity within each individual, notice the obvious results if one
or the other is disabled. 
 
 The womanly woman is passive, receptive, accepting, nurturing, but
not of anything that she herself intends, so her nurturing acceptance
must always be at the service of others, making her a doormat at best
and a slave at worst, or worst yet an entirely dysfunctional basket
case of no benefit either to herself or to anyone else. 
 
 The manly man is bristling with assertive intention and forceful
initiative. But all his intentions and initiatives that would be of a
Creative nature, instead of being accepted and nurtured by him to
their full fruition, maturity and completeness, they are callously,
impatiently and insensitively abandoned by him and nothing becomes of
them. Furious that his grandiose and egotistical assertiveness falls
impotent, yet with an intense denial, repression and aversion of the
innate femininity that would render him Creative, he turns his
assertiveness to aggressive destructiveness where it produces the
vivid and grandiose results that his egotism craves, and so he further
infects the planet with another manly man waging destructive war in
boardrooms, in politics, in military combat, in domestic violence and
so on. 
 
 The male ego is in such a profound state of pathological deformity
that it would rather see the world destroyed than to discover the
inner femininity that would restore it's wholeness. Fortunately,
those of us who are willing to balance ourselves back into our natural

Dr Feldman announces daily global ceremony of gratitude to Vedic Tradition
of Total Knowledge
by Global Good News staff writer

Global Good NewsTranslate This Article
22 January 2008

On the 22 January Global Family Chat, broadcast daily via satellite and over
the Internet on Channel 3 of the Maharishi Channel, Dr Benjamin Feldman,
Minister of Finance and Planning of the Global Country of World Peace,
announced a new programme for Teachers of Maharishi's Transcendental
Meditation. 

Speaking to the World Congress of Rajas and Ministers of the Global Country
of World Peace, Dr Feldman said that 'today is the beautiful full moon of
January marking the completion of the auspicious sixth month of the First
Year of Invincibility', as marked by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Founder of the
Global Country of World Peace, from last Guru Purnima* [29 July 2007]. 

In August 2007, Maharishi started the tradition of global Puja on every full
moon following Guru Purnima, the full moon in July. (Please visit the Global
Good News features on Maharishi's addresses on the full moon celebrations in
August and September 2007). 

Dr Feldman said, 'It will be our collective joy to perform Puja to Guru
Dev** today, as Purusha*** . . . are doing all over the world on this
auspicious day.' 

Puja is the Vedic ceremony of gratitude to Guru Dev and the Vedic Tradition
of Total Knowledge, the oldest tradition of knowledge on earth. As Maharishi
explained in a recent address, 'The Puja to Guru Dev is the mechanics of
nourishing every fibre of the administration of Natural Law, and of
nourishing all life on earth.' 

Dr Feldman continued, 'And we invite all the Teachers of Transcendental
Meditation here and everywhere to have Puja to Guru Dev from this full moon
to the next full moon in their Centres and in their groups every day,
joining Maharishiji in offering ourselves to the Totality of Brahm as we had
been led by him, and to bring ourselves to the level of the blessings of
Guru Dev, the Light of God, for the invincibility of every nation in
Maharishiji's world, in Maharishiji's whole family of nations. 

'We offer to Guru Dev our confidence. We return to Guru Dev his own
blessings, Maharishiji's blessings for the world, and the absolute certainty
that the 35 countries that already have invincibility in the number of
[practitioners of Transcendental Meditation] and Yogic Flyers that have been
trained there, and with all the 48 countries led by all the Rajas of the
Global Country of World Peace together to create this memorial to peace—the
Tower of Invincibility in every nation—bliss will expand to fill the whole
world and administration through silence will guide the world in perfection.


'So with Maharishiji and Maharajaji [Maharaja Nader Raam, first ruler of the
Global Country of World Peace], each of these offerings that we offer in
Puja to Guru Dev are offering the same blessings of Guru Dev to him, with
Maharishiji.' 

Then the World Congress of Rajas and Ministers of the Global Country of
World Peace took part in the global ceremony. 

* Guru Purnima is the day in the Vedic Calendar which honours the Vedic
Tradition of Total Knowledge, traditionally celebrated each year on the full
moon in July. 

** Maharishi's Master, Shri Guru Dev, His Divinity Brahmanand Saraswati,
Jagatguru Shankaracharya of Jyotir Math, Himalayas 

*** Maharishi has explained that Purusha means the Self, the quality of
infinite silence of the Unified Field of Natural Law. Purusha also refers to
members of the Maharishi Purusha Programme—which was designed by Maharishi
for men who wish to dedicate themselves fulltime to the most rapid pace of
evolution possible and creating world peace. This is accomplished through
the extended group practice of the Transcendental Meditation Sidhi
Programme, including Yogic Flying, and activity dedicated to the fulfilment
of the many programmes of Maharishi's worldwide organizations.

  Global Good NewsTranslate This Article
  22 January 2008
  
  On the 22 January Global Family Chat, broadcast daily via 
satellite
 and over
  the Internet on Channel 3 of the Maharishi Channel, Dr Benjamin 
Feldman,
  Minister of Finance and Planning of the Global Country of World 
Peace,
  announced a new programme for Teachers of Maharishi's 
Transcendental
  Meditation. 
  
  Speaking to the World Congress of Rajas and Ministers of the 
Global
 Country
  of World Peace, Dr Feldman said that 'today is the beautiful full
 moon of
  January marking the completion of the auspicious sixth month of 
the
 First
  Year of Invincibility', as marked by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, 
Founder
 of the
  Global Country of World Peace, from last Guru Purnima* [29 July 
2007]. 
  
  In August 2007, Maharishi started the tradition of global Puja on
 every full
  moon following Guru Purnima, the full moon in July. (Please visit
 the Global
  Good News features on Maharishi's addresses on the full moon
 celebrations in
  August and September 2007). 
  
  Dr Feldman said, 'It will be our collective joy to perform Puja 
to Guru
  Dev** today, as Purusha*** . . . are doing all over the world on 
this
  auspicious day.' 
  
  Puja is the Vedic ceremony of gratitude to Guru Dev and the Vedic
 Tradition
  of Total Knowledge, the oldest tradition of knowledge on earth. As
 Maharishi
  explained in a recent address, 'The Puja to Guru Dev is the

Active Volcano under ice

Leigh Dayton, Science writer | January 22, 2008 

AN active volcano has been found under Antarctica's rapidly melting 
western ice sheet.

Although it has not erupted for more than 2000 years, heat from the 
geologically active Hudson Mountains Subglacial Volcano helps explain 
why nearby Pine Island Glacier shrinks by more than a kilometre every 
year, British scientists claim. 

The discovery follows reports last week that Antarctica's ice cap is 
melting faster than previously believed. 

According to those findings, the greatest loss was from the West 
Antarctic Ice Sheet and the Antarctic Peninsula. Together, they lost 
nearly 200billion tonnes of ice in 2006 alone. 

Glaciologists Hugh Corr and David Vaughan of the British Antarctic 
Survey in Cambridge claim the discovery of the first known subglacial 
volcanic eruption promises to improve predictions of future sea-level 
rise caused by the melting of the WAIS. 

We believe this was the biggest eruption in Antarctica during the 
last 10,000 years, Dr Corr said. It blew a substantial hole in the 
ice sheet and generated a plume of ash and gas that rose around 
12km. 

The team identified a large layer of volcanic ash in the ice. 

Additional evidence for the eruption came from ice cores collected 
across the continent. 

Writing in Nature Geoscience, Dr Corr and Dr Vaughan suggested the 
increased heat from the eruption, which they dated to 325BC, led to 
melting of the surrounding and overlying ice which, in turn, 
increased the flow rate of nearby glaciers.

2008-01-23 Thread George DeForest
   [image: Invincible America] http://invincibleamerica.org/

*Dear Governors, Sidhas, and Meditators,*

*When I think of great human beings—and truly great American heroes—I think
of Howard and Alice Settle. Longtime Yogic Flyers, Howard and Alice have,
through their extraordinary intelligence and organizing power, been blessed
with great material abundance. Fortunately for America and the world, Howard
and Alice are deeply devoted to Maharishi and his Total Knowledge. They have
chosen to share a very large portion of their wealth to support Maharishi's
programs to create invincibility in America and Heaven on Earth.*

*You may or may not be aware of this, but Howard and Alice have donated an
astonishing $1 million each month for the past 15 months to support the
Yogic Flyers on our Invincible America Assembly—including the Vedic Pandits.
It is their ongoing generosity that is allowing America to rise to
invincibility and remain steadfast amidst the many economic, social, and
even meteorological storms that have blown our way. *

*Last week, on January 12, Howard celebrated his birthday and was joyously
feted on Maharishi's Global Family Chat. The following is a transcript of
his eloquent remarks at the conclusion of that wonderful day—a day when,
incidentally, the number of Yogic Flyers in the Domes exceeded the Super
Radiance number of 1730. (Unfortunately, since then, the numbers have fallen
again to around 1500.) Please listen carefully to the words of this very
wise, highly enlightened man. Please take his words deeply into your
heart—and act on them.*

*With great love and appreciation,*

*Jai Guru Dev*

*Raja John*

*MESSAGE FROM HOWARD SETTLE*

*On his birthday, January 12, 2008*

Listen to the Audio of Howard's
Messagehttp://streaming.globalcountry.net/settle_smallest.mp3
[image: Howard Settle]

*Transcript:* I would like to take this opportunity to speak to all of the
Sidhas in America and throughout the world about the extraordinary gift that
Maharishi has given us in the form of the Invincible Assemblies.

Maharishi has given us the opportunity to create an invincible world—a
world without enemies—a world of peace, prosperity, joy, happiness, and
profound bliss.

The formula to achieve this incredible goal for mankind is so very simple,
and it is completely within our grasp. Maharishi has given us the technology
to achieve the impossible through a procedure so easy and blissful that it
defies imagination—and yet it is true, and it has been tested and proven.

The technology, of course, is an Invincible Assembly in every nation—a
Super Radiance group of Yogic Flyers in every country.

We have such an assembly in America, and I am very gratified to see that in
the last day or two we have achieved the Super Radiance numbers once again.

We have been given the knowledge of the mechanics of these Invincible
Assemblies as a formula—the square root of 1% of the nation's population—but
I would like to discuss the benefits for each of us in terms of my field of
experience, which is business.

There is an important principle in business which Maharishi has described
as 'do less and accomplish more.' For any business transaction, you want to
invest as little as possible, but in return you want to receive as much as
possible.

We have the tools to calculate how efficient we are at this principle of
'do less and accomplish more': we calculate the return on investment and the
rate of return.

In business, if you can achieve a 2 to 1 return on your investment over a
period of a year, your calculated rate of return is 100%, and this is pretty
good. In fact, if I offered each of you a 100% rate of return, it would be
insane not to take advantage of an investment as favorable as that.

By contrast, Raja Hagelin has informed us that the influence we create in
the Super Radiance groups is equal to the square root of 1%. The easiest way
to calculate this effect is to multiply the number of Yogic Flyers by 100.
So yesterday, with 1750 Yogic Flyers in the Invincible America Assembly,
each of you had the effect of providing a positive influence of coherence to
175,000 of your fellow citizens. In other words, the return on investment of
a single Yogic Flyer in the Assembly yesterday was 175,000 to 1; and this
return did not take a year, but occurred within 3 hours. I haven't
calculated the rate of return on this investment of your time, but it
approaches infinity.

This return to each of you on the Assembly is on an investment far more

This supports the theory that I have presented on this forum from

philosophy tenet of the TM Program because he was badgered to do so 
by the sycophants that have surrounded him for the past 35 years. And 
now those very sychophants have become the gate-keepers. 

They wore the poor man down by continually demanding that he give 
them the real knowledge despite his continual admonitions that the 
TM technique was the full and complete program. Well, Maharishi may 
be enlightened but he is only human.  And at some point he threw his 
hands up and said: Okay, if you want 'the real knowledge' I guess 
that's what I have to GIVE you. So now we've got THIS catastrophy on

  Dr Feldman announces daily global ceremony of gratitude to Vedic

  by Global Good News staff writer

  22 January 2008
  
  On the 22 January Global Family Chat, broadcast daily via 
satellite
 and over
  the Internet on Channel 3 of the Maharishi Channel, Dr Benjamin 
Feldman,
  Minister of Finance and Planning of the Global Country of World 
Peace,
  announced a new programme for Teachers of Maharishi's 
Transcendental
  Meditation. 
  
  Speaking to the World Congress of Rajas and Ministers of the 
Global
 Country
  of World Peace, Dr Feldman said that 'today is the beautiful full
 moon of
  January marking the completion of the auspicious sixth month of 
the
 First
  Year of Invincibility', as marked by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, 
Founder
 of the
  Global Country of World Peace, from last Guru Purnima* [29 July 
2007]. 
  
  In August 2007, Maharishi started the tradition of global Puja on
 every full
  moon following Guru Purnima, the full moon in July. (Please visit
 the Global
  Good News features on Maharishi's addresses on the full moon
 celebrations in
  August and September 2007). 
  
  Dr Feldman said, 'It will be our collective joy to perform Puja 
to Guru
  Dev** today, as Purusha*** . . . are doing all over the world on 
this
  auspicious day.' 
  
  Puja is the Vedic ceremony of gratitude to Guru Dev and the Vedic
 Tradition
  of Total Knowledge, the oldest tradition of knowledge on earth. As
 Maharishi
  explained in a recent address, 'The Puja to Guru Dev is the 
mechanics of
  nourishing every fibre of the administration of Natural Law, and 
of
  nourishing all life on earth.' 
  
  Dr Feldman continued, 'And we invite all the Teachers of 
Transcendental
  Meditation here and everywhere to have Puja to Guru Dev from this
 full moon
  to the next full moon in their Centres and in their groups every 
day,
  joining Maharishiji in offering ourselves to the Totality of Brahm
 as we had
  been led by him, and to bring ourselves to the level of the 
blessings of
  Guru Dev, the Light of God, for the invincibility of every nation 
in
  Maharishiji's world, in Maharishiji's whole family of nations. 
  
  'We offer to Guru Dev our confidence. We return to Guru Dev his 
own
  blessings, Maharishiji's blessings for the world, and the absolute
 certainty
  that the 35 countries that already have invincibility in the 
number of
  [practitioners of Transcendental Meditation] and Yogic Flyers that
 have been
  trained there, and with all the 48 countries led by all the Rajas 
of the
  Global Country of World Peace together to create this memorial to
 peace—the
  Tower of Invincibility in every nation—bliss will expand to fill 
the
 whole
  world and administration through silence will guide the world in
 perfection.
  
  
  'So with Maharishiji and Maharajaji [Maharaja Nader Raam, first
 ruler of the
  Global Country of World Peace], each of these offerings that we 
offer in
  Puja to Guru Dev are offering the same blessings of Guru Dev to 
him,

 when any other college president would be thoroughly investigated, 
and
 if found guilty, strung up and hung, so to speak, at least on a

 Naming women publicly sinks to the level of tabloid journalism and 
is
 uncalled for. 
What is called for is a thorough investigation of a
college president (who also has the position of being a spritual
 leader / conduit / spokesperson for a spiritual community) who has
 many allegations of activity totally inappropriate and perhaps 
illegal
 for his position(s).
 
 Same for John Haglin. Stories circulate of his being a serial sexual
 predator upon MUM community and students. Any presidential candidate
 allegedly pursuing woman is such a predatory fashion would be
 thoroughly investigated and if evidence was forthcoming, he would be
 skewered by the press. Particularly given the double irony that he
 also is a spritual leader / conduit / spokesperson for a spiritual
 community). Why should he get a free pass? 
 
 Naming women without evidence in a public forum is not the way to
 proceed. However, on the other hand, 
detailing and investigating the
 apparently large body of evidence against these university /

Study: Bush Led US To War on `False Pretenses'
by Douglass K. Daniel

A study by two nonprofit journalism organizations found that President
Bush and top administration officials issued hundreds of false
statements about the national security threat from Iraq in the two
years following the 2001 terrorist attacks.

The study concluded that the statements were part of an orchestrated
campaign that effectively galvanized public opinion and, in the
process, led the nation to war under decidedly false pretenses.

The study was posted Tuesday on the Web site of the Center for Public
Integrity, which worked with the Fund for Independence in Journalism.

White House spokesman Scott Stanzel did not comment on the merits of
the study Tuesday night but reiterated the administration's position
that the world community viewed Iraq's leader, Saddam Hussein, as a
threat.

The actions taken in 2003 were based on the collective judgment of
intelligence agencies around the world, Stanzel said.

The Center for Public Integrity, a research group that focuses on
ethics in government and public policy, designed the new Web site to
allow simple searches for specific phrases, such as mushroom cloud
or yellowcake uranium, in transcripts and documents totaling some
380,000 words, including remarks by President Bush and most of his top
advisers in the two years after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

The study counted 935 false statements in the two-year period. It
found that in speeches, briefings, interviews and other venues, Bush
and administration officials stated unequivocally on at least 532
occasions that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction or was trying to
produce or obtain them, or had links to al Qaeda, or both.

It is now beyond dispute that Iraq did not possess any weapons of
mass destruction or have meaningful ties to al Qaeda, according to
Charles Lewis and Mark Reading-Smith of the Fund for Independence in
Journalism, writing an overview of the study. In short, the Bush
administration led the nation to war on the basis of erroneous
information that it methodically propagated and that culminated in
military action against Iraq on March 19, 2003.

Named in the study along with Bush were top officials of the
administration during the period studied: Vice President Dick Cheney,
national security adviser Condoleezza Rice, Defense Secretary Donald
Rumsfeld, Secretary of State Colin Powell, Deputy Defense Secretary
Paul Wolfowitz and White House press secretaries Ari Fleischer and
Scott McClellan.

Bush led with 259 false statements, 231 about weapons of mass
destruction in Iraq and 28 about Iraq's links to al Qaeda, the study
found. That was second only to Powell's 244 false statements about
weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and 10 about Iraq and al Qaeda.

The center said the study was based on a database created with public
statements over the two years beginning on Sept. 11, 2001, and
information from more than 25 government reports, books, articles,
speeches and interviews.

The cumulative effect of these false statements - amplified by
thousands of news stories and broadcasts - was massive, with the media
coverage creating an almost impenetrable din for several critical
months in the run-up to war, the study concluded.

Some journalists - indeed, even some entire news organizations - have
since acknowledged that their coverage during those prewar months was
far too deferential and uncritical. These mea culpas notwithstanding,
much of the wall-to-wall media coverage provided additional,
`independent' validation of the Bush administration's false statements
about Iraq, it said.

There is no startling new information in the archive, because all the
documents have been published previously. But the new computer tool is
remarkable for its scope and its replay of the crescendo of statements
that led to the war. Muckrakers may find browsing the site reminiscent
of what Richard Nixon used to dismissively call wallowing in Watergate.

 Active Volcano under ice
 
 Leigh Dayton, Science writer | January 22, 2008 
 
 AN active volcano has been found under Antarctica's rapidly melting 
 western ice sheet.
 
 Although it has not erupted for more than 2000 years, heat from the 
 geologically active Hudson Mountains Subglacial Volcano helps explain 
 why nearby Pine Island Glacier shrinks by more than a kilometre every 
 year, British scientists claim. 
 
 The discovery follows reports last week that Antarctica's ice cap is 
 melting faster than previously believed. 
 
 According to those findings, the greatest loss was from the West 
 Antarctic Ice Sheet and the Antarctic Peninsula. Together, they lost 
 nearly 200billion tonnes of ice in 2006 alone. 
 
 Glaciologists Hugh Corr and David Vaughan of the British Antarctic 
 Survey in Cambridge claim the discovery of the first known subglacial 
 volcanic eruption promises to improve predictions of future sea-level 
 rise caused by the melting of the WAIS. 
 
 We believe this was the biggest eruption in Antarctica during the 
 last 10,000 years, Dr Corr said. It blew a substantial hole in the 
 ice sheet and generated a plume of ash and gas that rose around 
 12km. 
 
 The team identified a large layer of volcanic ash in the ice. 
 
 Additional evidence for the eruption came from ice cores collected 
 across the continent. 
 
 Writing in Nature Geoscience, Dr Corr and Dr Vaughan suggested the 
 increased heat from the eruption, which they dated to 325BC, led to 
 melting of the surrounding and overlying ice which, in turn, 
 increased the flow rate of nearby glaciers.


http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2008/01/21/antarctica-volcano.html

However, he adds, the heat from the Hudson Mountains subglacial
volcano would probably not affect neighbouring glaciers.

It cannot explain the more widespread thinning of West Antarctic
glaciers that together are contributing nearly 0.2 mm per year to
sea-level rise, Vaughan said. This wider change most probably has
its origin in warming ocean waters.

Thanks, Peter.  
   
  I must say, I'm very glad to have finally come to realize that the situation 
is as you've described, though it took me long enough, so that I need persist 
in posting things that in this forum are clearly foolish. 
   
  And I couldn't be happier to discover a group that's smarter than me.  That's 
far more promising and interesting than being revered by loveable simpletons.   
Perhaps for the first time in years I may actually learn something.
