Tom Cruise's Scientology Ties: Former Girlfriend Reveals Details Of
Wife-Auditioning Process

Posted: 09/01/2012 6:16 pm Updated: 09/01/2012 6:16 pm

  [Tom Cruise]
In the weeks following the news of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes' split
this summer, came various reports of the actor's search for a
Scientology-friendly wife before he met Holmes. Rumor has it that Sofia
Vergara and Scarlett Johansson
 were also among those
approached as marital prospects for Cruise.

And now, a new Vanity Fair cover story
 reveals that in 2004, Shelly Miscavige, the wife
of Scientology chief David Miscavige, oversaw a top-secret effort to
find the next Mrs. Cruise.

The search yielded Nazanin Boniadi, an Iranian-born, London-raised
actress and Scientologist, who went on to date Cruise from November 2004
until January 2005. According to VF, Boniadi spent the month prior to
the courtship being audited every day, and was forced to share personal
secrets and details of her sex life with a high-ranking Scientology
official.

The story reports, "Boniadi allegedly was told to lose her braces, her
red highlights, and her boyfriend. According to a knowledgeable source,
she was shown confidential auditing files of her boyfriend to expedite a
breakup. (Scientology denies any misuse of confidential material.) The
source says Boniadi signed a confidentiality agreement and was told that
if she "messed up" in any way she would be declared a
Suppressive Person (a pariah and enemy of Scientology)."

After a blissful first month, the relationship turned sour when
Boniadi's behavior toward David Miscavige was interpreted by Cruise as
disrespectful. Boniadi was later sent to a Scientology Center in
Florida, where she made the mistake of confiding in a friend when she
was unable to hide her emotional distress --despite having been strictly
forbidden to reveal the details of her courtship with Cruise.

According to Vanity Fair's source, the friend reported her to
Scientology officials. "Boniadi's punishment was to scrub toilets
with a toothbrush, clean bathroom tiles with acid, and dig ditches in
the middle of the night. After that she was sent out to sell Scientology
founder L. Ron Hubbard's Dianetics on street corners," reports the
magazine.

It looks as if the Church of Scientology's damage control efforts
  won't be put to
rest anytime soon.

[FairfieldLife] Saudi Arabia executes woman convicted of 'sorcery'

[fflmod]

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Saudi authorities have executed a woman
convicted of practicing magic and sorcery.

The Saudi Interior Ministry says in a statement the execution took place
Monday, but gave no details on the woman's crime.

The London-based al-Hayat daily, however, quoted Abdullah al-Mohsen,
chief of the religious police who arrested the woman, as saying she had
tricked people into thinking she could treat illnesses, charging them
$800 per session.

The paper said a female investigator followed up, and the woman was
arrested in April, 2009, and later convicted in a Saudi court.

It did not give the woman's name, but said she was in her 60s.

The execution brings the total to 76 this year in Saudi Arabia,
according to an Associated Press count. At least three have been women.

I shop at Trader Joe's every week. I have a friend who moved to Beverly,
MA from Denver and said one of the many things his wife likes about the
move is is she can shop at Trader Joe's again.
There are eight Traders Joe's stores within 2 to 8 miles of me. Maybe

We don't have a state fair, though.

I have not been in Fairfield in the last eleven years and so have not

[fflmod]

I just upgraded one of my little-used email accounts to the latest
version in order to test this out and still do not get a hyperlink in
the plain text editor. Doing a 'compose message' and then adding in what
is currently in my address bar does not give me the same results you
would get. I tried it with another address as well.
It's academic, because I always use rich text, anyway, and am even
happier with it now that my ability to create hyperlinks is back, thanks
to Judy.
I like the appearance of the newest version, but rejected it when I
first tried it out months ago because I cannot right click on buttons
such as "Draft' and 'Inbox' to open the contents in a new window or tab,
like I can almost anywhere else. Yahoo asks for feedback when someone
has tried out a newer version but is rolling it back, so l told them.
They have not changed it.

That's never been my experience with yahoo email, Alex. I can create
hyperlinks only in rich text (I just did a test using plain text and it
still does not work). As I said to Judy, the hyperlink used to appear
automatically when an http type of address was keyed into yahoo email
via the rich text editor, but that feature disappeared several months

[FairfieldLife] Re: Test: URL in Yahoo Mail with Rich Text

[fflmod]

Thanks, Judy, I can now do hyperlinks in my email again. The problem
with displaying links was one more reason yahoo was losing some of my
email business to Facebook. It used to be that just typing in an http
type of address would automatically turn it into a hyperlink. That
feature disappeared a few months ago. I find it annoying that yahoo
keeps on prompting me to upgrade to what they erroneously believe to be
their  latest and great version of yahoo email, which I have no interest
in doing, while they're still making unwise changes to their older
versions.
Option number two works for me as long as I first highlight the address
with my mouse before clicking on the hyperlink button. Then I have to
remember to ignore the popup and to just hit the enter key. --- In

Little Johnnie 

A woman takes a lover home during the day while her
husband is at work. Her 9-year old son, Johnny, comes
home unexpectedly, sees them and hides in the bedroom
closet to watch. The woman's husband also comes home.
She puts her lover in the closet, not realizing that
Johnny is in there already.

Johnny says, "Dark in here."

The man says, "Yes, it is."

Johnny - "I have a baseball."

Man - "That's nice."

Johnny - "Want to buy it?"

Man - "No, thanks."

Johnny - "My dad's outside."

Man - "OK, how much?"

Johnny - "$150"

Man - "Sold."

In the next few weeks, it happens again that Johnny
and the lover are in the closet together.

Johnny - "Dark in here."

Man - "Yes, it is."

Johnny - "I have a Wilson fielders glove."

The lover, remembering the last time, asks Johnny,
"How much?"

Johnny - "$350"

Man - "Highway robbery. Sold."

A few days later, the father says to Johnny, "Grab
your gloves, let's go outside and have a game of
catch.

Johnny says, "I can't, I sold my ball and my gloves."

The father asks, "How much did you sell them for?"

Johnny -"$500"

The father says, "That's terrible to overcharge your
friends like that...that is way more than those two
things cost. I'm going to take you to church and make
you confess your greed."

They go to the church and the father makes Johnny sit
in the confession booth and he closes the door.

Johnny says, "Dark in here."

The priest says, "Don't start that again, you're in my
closet now."

"Sometimes it was hard to separate the sincere devotees from the guru groupies,

I guess the writer did not know Howard Stern learned TM when a student in 
college and later learned the TM sidhis.

[FairfieldLife] Good grief Even the head of Obama’s Economic Panel is bailing on him.

[fflmod]

Good grief… Even the head of Obama's Economic Panel is bailing
on him.
  [447] 

Obama named his longtime friend and supporter GE chief Jeffrey Immelt to
head his economic recovery advisory panel in January. (LA Times
 )

The head of Barack Obama's Economic Advisory Panel is moving his
business to China.
Bloomberg
  reported:

General Electric Co. (GE)'s health-care unit, the world's
biggest maker of medical-imaging machines, is moving the headquarters of
its 115-year-old X-ray business to Beijing to tap growth in China.

"A handful" of top managers will move to the Chinese capital and
there won't be any job cuts, Anne LeGrand, vice president and
general manager of X-ray for GE Healthcare, said in an interview. The
headquarters will move from Waukesha, Wisconsin, amid a broader
parent-company plan to invest about $2 billion across China, including
opening six "customer innovation" and development centers.

The move follows the introduction earlier this year of GE
Healthcare's "Spring Wind" initiative to develop and
distribute medical products and services in China, GE said in a
statement today. More than 20 percent of the X-ray unit's new
products will be developed in China, LeGrand said.

Well, we know the move was not based on taxes… GE didn't pay any
taxes
  last year. The company reported
  worldwide profits of $14.2
billion, and said $5.1 billion of the total came from its operations in
the United States.

But that didn't stop the company from moving business to China.

[FairfieldLife] Re: Visit with Amma

[fflmod]

Some people believe Jesus is an avatar. I have a friend who can see karmic 
structures such as the karmic body and whatever in people and he claims Amma, 
Mother Meera, and Karunamayi are all avatars. Divine Mother avatars. He said 
Sai Baba was an avatar as well, which many believe, and which would explain why 
Amma spoke well of him. How someone can be an avatar and perpetrate acts we 
consider heinous, though, is beyond most of us mortals to understand. The topic 
of MMY doing things that confounded us and seemed to torpedo the TM movement, 
when we considered him perfect for much of our adult lives, has been bandied 
about on this forum for years.   

I've heard stories of Amma's omniscience from her swamis. Here is a very 
interesting excerpt on the subject from Amma's senior swami:

[FairfieldLife] Re: Visit with Amma

[fflmod]

Amma is an avatar, an incarnation of the divine. Not a karmic human at all. 
That is why the name of Amma is prevalent throughout the bhajans and elsewhere. 
There is no difference between praying to God and praying to an avatar. A 
familiar example of this is how in MMY's Gita, Krishna is referred to as the 
Lord.

An interesting case is that of Mother Meera. Mother Meera is also an avatar and 
recommends that seekers do japa (repeating the name of the divine as often 
during the day as possible) to Mother Meera. Yet, Mother Meera is as far from 
being a guru-led organization  and/or a cult as can be.

Delicious. When I was a kid, there was a tradition that we kids could choose

[FairfieldLife] Re: Roger Ebert on why 3D won't work

[fflmod]

What makes this more interesting is that our brains have always had to convert 
an inverted image:

http://www.ehow.com/about_6588437_eye-sees-upside-down.html
 
I don't like 3D, either. Gives me headaches. I was at a Sony outlet store 
yesterday and bought a 2D TV. They were pushing 3D and saying all the current 
2D and 3D TVs would be replaced later this year with a new line of 3D TVs. I 
hope they don't discontinue 2D if it means sets will all be more expensive. One 
thing that surprised me was they had a 40" 3D set for $900 or so and it came 
with the glasses. Often, it's the top of the line sets that have them bundled. 
I let the salesperson know I had no problem with buying a 3D set if the price 
was not over-inflated, but that there was no way I was kicking in extra money 
for a set because it came bundled with the glasses.

One of my favorites: 
  
Discussion about difficulties getting people to learn: 
Charlotte is getting calls from ads. No one has started yet. Each intro seems 
to add to progress. Two reasons: practical and deeper. Practically, money is 
problem. A well-to-do family of 4 wanted to start. Something on the morning 
that was set for instruction made the wife say they couldn’t come – said it was 
the cost. Others interested but surprised when cost is not $50 like another 
thing down the street. Charlotte has a finance company that will process online 
application while CP is at intro and give response within 1/2 hour. Payments 
are $150-$250 per month for $2500. Raja Rogers commented that perhaps the men’s

AFIK they do it to be "Vedic". The idea being that kings in India used to live 
like that, so to be "Vedic", Tony has to be like that as well. The idea is 
dressed up in some garbage about maintaining Tony's sublime level of 
consciousness. The real purpose from Vedic times is simple gluttony and a 
display of power. They lived like that not because it was important to maintain 
the sublime level of consciousness of the king but because they could, anyone 
who complained would be executed and a display of wasteful extravagance lets 
the masses know who's in charge.  

I'll hazard a guess that a true "Vedic" king would have distributed the 
leftovers to the poor, it's an essential part of showing off one's status and 
making sure the lower levels know that they're low life. Much like European 
medieval aristocrats would hand out the leftovers from their meals to the poor 
at the gates of their castles. So they're not being properly "Vedic" if they 
just throw the leftovers away. To be properly "Vedic" they'd need to distribute 
the leftovers to the poor starving masses at the gates of Vlodrop. But, umm, 
they're in 21st century Holland and there are no poor starving masses waiting 
at the gates for scraps from the king's table. If they did start distributing 
leftovers from Tony's meals then people would quickly cotton on to why the 
course fees are so high and why every other letter or email from the TMO says 
"give us your money", so they keep it secret. Which is odd because the real 
purpose is a public display of wasteful
 extravagance to show off how powerful you are. 

In the real world the kind of warped thinking that goes on at Vlodrop would 
earn you a straight jacket and a dose of thorazine.

required by some in the Fairfield community.  But I can tell you that in the

Xcellent article on cancer. Pass it on.

AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY AND
ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE
IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY . 

Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins:


1.. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show 
up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few
billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells 
in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are
unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable 
size.

2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime. 

3. When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed 
and prevented from multiplying and forming tumours. 

4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional 
deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental,
food and lifestyle factors. 

5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and 
including supplements will strengthen the immune system. 

6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also 
destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow,
gastro-intestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, 
heart, lungs etc. 

7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages 
healthy cells, tissues and organs. 

8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor 
size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not
result in more tumor destruction. 

9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the 
immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence
the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.

10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become 
resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer
cells to spread to other sites. 

11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not 
feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply. 


WHAT CANCER CELLS FEED ON: 

a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important 
food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like
NutraSweet, Equal,Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A 
better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses
but only in very sma ll amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it 
white in colour. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt. 

b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal 
tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and
substituting with unsweetened soy milk, cancer cells are being starved. 

c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and 
it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than
beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and 
parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer. 

d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and 
a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline
environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable 
juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach
down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to no urish and enhance growth of 
healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try
and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and 
eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at
temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C). 

e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a 
better alternative and has cancer-fighting properties.
Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and 
heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it. 


12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive 
enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines become putrified and leads 
to more toxic buildup. 

13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or 
eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of  cancer 
cells and allows the body's killer

I believe the progression is: line on stone, line on sand, line on water, line

years, the time it takes to reach CC.

One of the things I've been noticing most about 
this forum lately -- and yes, it does have some-
thing to do with my tendency to post provocative
or "button-pushing" items -- is what this forum
reveals about the benefits or non-benefits of
the long-term practice of meditation techniques.

The *theory* of such practices, if one remembers
Maharishi's metaphor for it, is that meditation
*should* help a person to become more flexible,
less rigid, less affected by stimuli to the point
of becoming reactive to them or dwelling on them.
The metaphor in question was the long-lasting 
nature of a line scratched in stone, and how long
that endures vs. the ephemeral quality of a line
drawn in water, and how quickly it goes away.

If his theory was correct, then this forum, com-
posed as it is of 30-to-40-year practitioners of
meditation and other spiritual techniques, should
reflect more of the "line on water" mentality than
it does the "line on stone" mentality.

But does it?

Step out of the moment and the in-the-moment flow
of posts and the emotion you invest them with 
before you press Send and LOOK at the TRENDS that
are evident on this forum. **DO** most of the 
regular posters here -- especially those who align
themselves with TM and Maharishi and his beliefs --
actually react to the things said here with flexi-
bility, as if the things said affected them as 
little as a "line drawn on water," or **DO** they 
react with rigidity, as if the things said affect 
them *far* more strongly and permanently, more like 
a "line drawn on stone?"

I think it's the latter. Just look at the *reactive*
nature of the majority of posts on FFL. Someone says
something and four or five people *react* to simple
words as if someone had slapped them physically in
the face. Someone posts something that disagrees 
with one of their mere *beliefs* ferchrissakes and
they go nuts. And *then* look at how long they
STAY nuts. THAT is the thing that amazes me most 
about FFL. There are people here who have been 
"acting out" over the same grudges for *years*, 
and show no signs of ever letting them go. 

Conversely, there are very few examples of posters
making radical *changes* in their posting style,
their beliefs, and/or their lives. I can think of 
only a few who have made visible and radical "shifts" 
over the years. Many others cling to the "same old 
same old" as if remaining as "consistent" as a line 
drawn in stone were a Good Thing. 

*Theoretically*, spiritual development is about being
able to become more fluid, more flexible, more able
to "roll with the punches" and react in less predic-
table and destructive ways to the slings and arrows
of outrageous fortune. But -- given Fairfield Life
as an indicator -- does that theory seem to have
*worked out* for most of the "spiritual" people here?

And if not, will those whose "posting lives" make
them candidates for "line on stone" poster boy or
poster girl of the year react defensively to *this* 
post and turn it into yet another pile-on grudge-fest, 
and then do their best to keep the pile-on fest going 
as long as humanly possible, or will they allow this 
post to just be a line drawn on the water of their 
consciousness and move on to the next post?

Isn't it fascinating to see how the same two women
who go batshit when someone posts a derogatory
parody or Photoshopped photo of Saint Hillary react
when shown some of the photos created by their 
ilk demonizing Obama?

One (above) pretends that the photos didn't exist.
The other suggests that the photos are OK because
they aren't current. (Several are, actually, as anyone
who knew how to read the artist's date and signature 
embedded in the photos would know). Either way, it's
just *fine* in their view to create such Photoshopped
photos suggesting that Obama is a pig, or that the
*female* editors of Ms. are pigs, but it's a travesty 
when the same thing is done to Saint Hillary. 

And they dare speak the word "hypocrisy."

Makes me wonder who is going to play Raunchydog
and Judy in this upcoming film:



http://feministing.com/imageStorage/birthcolor.gif 

Based on the quotes by her in one of my other posts today,

shemp, if you're reading this I would advice you to stay away from any 
potentially harmful drugs. 
Instead, have regular checkings of your meditation, do Asanas and engage in 
rigorus excercise. Eat plenty of wholesome food and get as much fresh air as 
possible. I've personally seen this help for persons with heavy depressions and 
could help for anxiety also.
Good luck !

Some years ago, I witnessed a coyote chasing one of our cats up a tree, right 
in the back yard. My policy is that on most of our 190 acres, the coyotes can 
do whatever the hell they want, and if a cat gets caught out there, so be it. 
But, right around the house, I have a zero tolerance policy for coyotes, and in 
the past, I've shot a few of them. Our coyotes aren't very big.

I let a friend of mine come out here to hunt, and he shot a buck last winter. 
One reason he likes hunting out here, besides the fact that it is perfect deer 
ground, is that I have a tractor with a front-end loader. I went out in the 
tractor to scoop up his buck, and the stench of it nearly made me gag. The 
fascination with trophy bucks completely escapes me.

No, I haven't read it. My perspective is that biologically, humans are 
omnivores, and that from my own experience, a vegetarian diet is suboptimal for 
my physiology. What isn't at all a consideration for me are any fear-based 
religious dogmas. I don't regard diet type as having anything whatsoever to do 
with spiritual awakening. As Rory remarked this afternoon, the Gita says to be 
*without* the three gunas.

I do try to avoid factory farmed meat, so I buy some local, pasture raised 
lamb, and I took up deer hunting. I still buy organic Smart Chicken at the 
grocery store, which I'm sure is factory raised on grain, but I'm less fussy 
about that because chickens naturally eat lots of seeds, so grain-fed chicken 
doesn't bother me as much as grain-fed grazing animals. If local pastured 
chicken becomes available, I'll buy it.

The way I see it, there's someone out there who would love nothing more than to 
have FFL shut down or at least shrouded in the obscurity of the adult groups, 
so I err on the side of caution. If you do decide to allow people to post URL's 
to sexually explicit content, at the very least, people should be required to 
post a warning along with the URL. That is a common rule on blogs and message 
boards because people often use Internet access at work, and they don't want 
porn suddenly appearing on their monitors. Typically, the warning is in the 
form of "[link NSFW]", meaning link is not safe for work. Of course, shemp will 
probably piss and moan about that rule, too.

Also, if someone does a google search on something that is discussed in FFL, 
hits may come up to one or more FFL posts. That has helped bring new members to 
FFL in the past. Those search hits would be turned off if FFL were in the Adult 
category.

It's been explained several times that if FFL is in
the Adult category, folks won't be able to find the
group with the Find a Yahoo! Group feature, unless
they know to search for "Adult," and then they'll
have 90,721 groups to look through to find us.

If FFL isn't classified as adult, in contrast, they
can do a search for "Transcendental Meditation," and
they'll have to go through only 49 groups.
That's true, and it's also true that when we got classified as "Adult", people 
couldn't view FFL on public library computers. It might also be that they were 
blocked on some school and university computers. I don't know. I think FFL 
works best as an open, easy to find forum with extensive, diverse 
participation. It would definitely hurt the group to be slapped with an "Adult" 
classification. I don't know where Yahoo draws the line, or who decides. They 
probably don't even know what's going on unless someone brings it to their 
attention, as happened last time. So we have to decide what's appropriate. It's 
a very subjective judgment; not clear-cut. I guess ultimately it's my 
responsibility to decide, so I will. Here's my decision: 
I say there's little distinction between posting links to porn and posting 
actual porn. I don't see how the site Shemp linked to provided any useful 
embellishment of his point. We all know or can imagine what porn looks like, 
and if we don't, we can find it easily enough ourselves. We don't need FFL to 
provide links. We have a pretty broad definition of what is permissible to 
post. I don't think banning links to porn is excessively restrictive. As for 
colorful language in the things Edg and some others write, we'll let that slide 
as long as it's in context and not gratuitive. The same goes for the use of 
expletives in the way we address one another. I don't like it, and don't 
indulge in it myself, but I think it would be too restrictive to ban it. 
So I say there's no need for Alex to apologize, and I appreciate his diligence 
and good judgment in deleting Shemp's post. I'll edit the FFL guidelines now to

Interesting, the theme to the movie "Final Destination" in real life.
 
A woman who was planning to fly from Boston to CA with a friend on 9/11 changed 
her flight so that she could use her United Airlines airmiles. Her friend was 
on the American Airlines flight that crashed into the World Trade Center 
building. 
 
The flight the woman transferred to, however, turned out to be the other flight 
that crashed into the World Trade Center building.

Woman who missed Flight 447 is killed in car crash

An Italian woman who arrived late for the Air France plane flight that crashed 
in the Atlantic last week has been killed in a car accident, it has been 
reported.

Johanna Ganthaler, a pensioner from Bolzano-Bozen province, had been on holiday 
in Brazil with her husband Kurt and missed Air France Flight 447 after turning 
up late at Rio de Janeiro airport on May 31.

All 228 people aboard lost their lives after the plane crashed into the 
Atlantic four hours into its flight to Paris.

The ANSA news agency reported that the couple had managed to pick up a flight 
from Rio the following day.

It said that Ms Ganthaler died when their car veered across a road in Kufstein, 
Austria, and swerved into an oncoming truck. Her husband was seriously injured.

Doesn't that imply that Europe "bought into" the
"need" to "shelter behind American skirts?" 

In other words, although the contribution to 
Euro-defense during WWII by the Americans cannot
be denied, it has been often *exaggerated* by 
both Americans and Europeans, in the decades 
since, to get Europeans to "buy into" the need
to keep fueling the American Military Industrial
Complex. 

And there is simply no question that the Americans 
have used this "We owe the Americans our lives" 
mentality to rape Europe economically and in many 
other ways ever since. And with Europe's full 
cooperation.

Of *all* the nations whose troops were involved
in World War II, Americans contributed the fewest,
and *lost* the fewest soldiers.

Compare and contrast to the image they have care-
fully projected to the world since.

[FairfieldLife] How to Make Terrorists Talk

[fflmod]

How to Make Terrorists Talk
By BOBBY GHOSH / WASHINGTON Bobby Ghosh / Washington – Fri May 29, 4:00 am ET
 


The most successful interrogation of an Al-Qaeda operative by U.S. officials 
required no sleep deprivation, no slapping or "walling" and no waterboarding. 
All it took to soften up Abu Jandal, who had been closer to Osama bin Laden 
than any other terrorist ever captured, was a handful of sugar-free cookies.

Abu Jandal had been in a Yemeni prison for nearly a year when Ali Soufan of the 
FBI and Robert McFadden of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service arrived to 
interrogate him in the week after 9/11. Although there was already evidence 
that al-Qaeda was behind the attacks, American authorities needed conclusive 
proof, not least to satisfy skeptics like Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf, 
whose support was essential for any action against the terrorist organization. 
U.S. intelligence agencies also needed a better understanding of al-Qaeda's 
structure and leadership. Abu Jandal was the perfect source: the Yemeni who 
grew up in Saudi Arabia had been bin Laden's chief bodyguard, trusted not only 
to protect him but also to put a bullet in his head rather than let him be 
captured. (See pictures of do-it-yourself waterboarding attempts.)

Abu Jandal's guards were so intimidated by him, they wore masks to hide their 
identities and begged visitors not to refer to them by name in his presence. He 
had no intention of cooperating with the Americans; at their first meetings, he 
refused even to look at them and ranted about the evils of the West. Far from 
confirming al-Qaeda's involvement in 9/11, he insisted the attacks had been 
orchestrated by Israel's Mossad. While Abu Jandal was venting his spleen, 
Soufan noticed that he didn't touch any of the cookies that had been served 
with tea: "He was a diabetic and couldn't eat anything with sugar in it." At 
their next meeting, the Americans brought him some sugar-free cookies, a 
gesture that took the edge off Abu Jandal's angry demeanor. "We had showed him 
respect, and we had done this nice thing for him," Soufan recalls. "So he 
started talking to us instead of giving us lectures."

It took more questioning, and some interrogators' sleight of hand, before the 
Yemeni gave up a wealth of information about al-Qaeda - including the 
identities of seven of the 9/11 bombers - but the cookies were the turning 
point. "After that, he could no longer think of us as evil Americans," Soufan 
says. "Now he was thinking of us as human beings."

Soufan, now an international-security consultant, has emerged as a powerful 
critic of the George W. Bush - era interrogation techniques; he has testified 
against them in congressional hearings and is an expert witness in cases 
brought by detainees. He has described the techniques as "borderline torture" 
and "un-American." His larger argument is that methods like waterboarding are 
wholly unnecessary - traditional interrogation methods, a combination of guile 
and graft, are the best way to break down even the most stubborn subjects. He 
told a recent hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee that it was these 
methods, not the harsh techniques, that prompted al-Qaeda operative Abu 
Zubaydah to give up the identities of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the 
self-confessed mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, and "dirty bomber" Jose Padilla. 
Bush Administration officials, including Vice President Dick Cheney, had 
previously claimed that Abu Zubaydah supplied that information
 only after he was waterboarded. But Soufan says once the rough treatment began 
- administered by CIA-hired private contractors with no interrogation 
experience - Abu Zubaydah actually stopped cooperating. (Read "Dick Cheney: Why 
So Chatty All of a Sudden?")

The debate over the CIA's interrogation techniques and their effectiveness has 
intensified since President Barack Obama's decision to release Bush 
Administration memos authorizing the use of waterboarding and other harsh 
methods. Defenders of the Bush program, most notably Cheney, say the use of 
waterboarding produced actionable intelligence that helped the U.S. disrupt 
terrorist plots. But the experiences of officials like Soufan suggest that the 
utility of torture is limited at best and counterproductive at worst. Put 
simply, there's no definitive evidence that torture works.

The crucial question going forward is, What does? How does an interrogator 
break down a hardened terrorist without using violence? TIME spoke with several 
interrogators who have worked for the U.S. military as well as others who have 
recently retired from the intelligence services (the CIA and FBI turned down 
requests for interviews with current staffers). All agreed with Soufan: the 
best way to get intelligence from even the most recalcitrant subject is to 
apply the subtle arts of interrogation rather than the blunt instruments of 
torture. "There is nothing intelligent about torture," says Eric Maddo

To face East is to face the solar dawn and hence the source
of light. The same for sleeping with the head pointing East. 

The South is the direction of Yama, the deva of death. This is 
why in India the corpse is turned with the head pointing toward 
the South - it is a signal for the Yamadutas, the servants of Yama,
to come take the jiva-soul to Yama and not allow it to wander lost 
and alone in the antarbhava, the interspace between the worlds.

All of this is part of the mythogeography defining the South entrance as
a direction of loss and is another reason it is sometimes sealed off 
from common use.

This sounds right. If you think about it,
did Maharishi ever "go to visit" *anyone*?

My take on him is that he based his act on
Guru Dev's, and the protocols of spirituality
surrounding him. Guru Dev, as the Shankara-
charya, was a celebrity of sorts and a recluse
by nature. So people visited *him*, not vice-
versa. 

Maharishi always took the same approach. On
one level he was probably just doing things
the only way he'd seen them done. On another
level, he was probably doing it as a kind of
power thang, and a way to be able to say (or
imply), "I'm so important that these other
teachers and celebrities come to see *me*
I don't have to go out of my way to see them."

And on yet another level, Maharishi was far
more of a recluse than most people in the 
public understand. After the early years, and
after he was prevented from ever going to the
US or India again out of fear of being served
legal papers, he pretty much stuck to his room.
After the heart attack, he probably almost 
never *left* his room, doing all of his "visits"
via television. As far as we can tell, for the
last years of his life he was as much a "shut-in"
as Howard Hughes. And as obsessed with money,
but that's another story.

Hubbard was exactly the same way. IMO there is
not a chance that he would have left the Sea
Org to meet with some other spiritual teacher,
because *in his own terms in his writings* that
would have meant that he was "playing their game"
or "giving up his power to them." And Maharishi's
history does not suggest that he would ever have
gone out of *his* way to see a "competing" spir-
itual teacher, eithers. So my contention is still
that they never met, and that anything he ever
said about Hubbard is on the basis of what people
who actually *had* met Hubbard told him. 

Just as a funny aside to the mentions of L. Ron
Hubbard, there is a SciFi group that every year
gives out awards for the *Worst* science fiction
of the year. They call their statuette -- the 
counterpart of the Oscar -- the "Elron." :-)

Interesting timing, because I was thinking about some of my favorite movie

Some trivia:
 
"I'll have what she's having" in "When Harry met Sally" was said by director 
Rob Reiner's mother.
 
"I'll be back" was, of course, said by Arnold Schwarzenegger in "The 
Terminator", but what most people don't know is that Arnold told director 
Cameron he thought the line should be "I will be back" (his teutonic 
heritage). Cameron overruled.

Isn't north about making money? Obama is the Messiah, not a business man, so 
facing east would make more sense.

I think you're both wrong. The single, most significant difference between 
Obama and Hillary is that Hillary blew off Iowa, while Obama came to Fairfield, 
home of active practicing Meditators and heart of coherence for the entire US, 
and gave a speech while facing east in an ever so auspicious manner, thus 
garnering support of all the Laws of Nature.
 
Why would one not face north for late afternoon speeches?

I think you're both wrong. The single, most significant difference between 
Obama and Hillary is that Hillary blew off Iowa, while Obama came to Fairfield,

Time
By AP / RON TODT Friday, Apr. 17, 2009

(PHILADELPHIA) — John Sotos has a theory about why Abraham Lincoln was
so tall, why he appeared to have lumps on his lips and even why he had
gastrointestinal problems.
The 16th president, he contends, had a rare genetic disorder — one
that would likely have left him dead of cancer within a year had he
not been assassinated. And his bid to prove his theory has posed an
ethical and scientific dilemma for a small Philadelphia museum in the
year that marks the 200th anniversary of Lincoln's birth.

Framed behind glass in the Grand Army of the Republic Civil War Museum
and Library in northeast Philadelphia is a small piece of bloodstained
pillowcase on which the head of the dying president rested after he
was shot at Ford's Theater in Washington 144 years ago.

Sotos, a cardiologist and author, is hoping a DNA test of the strip
will reveal whether Lincoln was afflicted with multiple endocrine
neoplasia, type 2B. The disorder, which occurs in one in every 600,000
people, would explain Lincoln's unusual height, his relatively small
and asymmetric head and bumps on his lips seen in photos, he said.

The disorder leads to thyroid or adrenal cancer, and Sotos cites
Lincoln's weight loss in office and an appearance of ill health during
his final months. He said a finding that Lincoln had the genetic
disorder and probably cancer could shed light on his presidency. "I'm
not interested in how Lincoln might have died. I'm interested in how
he might have lived," Sotos said.

Several months ago, Sotos petitioned the museum for permission to test
the pillowcase. Gary Grove, a Civil War enthusiast who advised the
museum's board of directors, said the issue has been contentious in
several meetings. "There are strong voices both ways," Grove said. "It
has taken up a good portion of those board meetings."

Eric Schmincke, president of the museum and its board, said members
may decide at a meeting May 5. They must consider not only possible
damage to the artifact but also moral issues, he said. "You have to
look at it as questioning someone that more or less can't defend
themselves," Schmincke said.

Sotos, while declining to discuss the proposed DNA testing, pointed
out that Lincoln has no living direct descendants who would be
affected. "Every letter he every wrote has been published, every
letter his wife wrote that we can find has been published," he said.

Schmincke said genetic material goes far beyond writings. "That's him
— that's his blood, his brain matter that's on there," he said.
Schmincke also questioned what a positive result would mean.

"If they find it's cancer ... it's 140-plus years later," he said.
"Would it have been different? We can only guess or surmise."

If Lincoln was seriously ill and knew it, Sotos said, that might
explain stories of his premonitions about death. "I don't think it was
mysticism, I think that was him knowing what his body was telling
him," Sotos said. "Then if you're a historian, I think you have to say
... how does that affect how you run the war, your clemency toward
soldiers who may have deserted their post, the way you reconcile with
the South?"

One problem with his theory, which he acknowledges: People with MEN-2B
normally die young, and Lincoln was 56 when he was shot. And the
malady is only one of several ascribed to Lincoln; researchers in the
1960s suggested another genetic disorder, Marfan syndrome, to explain
his height, and others say his clumsy gait could have been due to
spinocerebellar ataxia.

Tests have been done on the remains of presidents to settle
controversies, most famously for evidence on whether Thomas Jefferson
fathered children of his slave, Sally Hemings, and to rule out arsenic
poisoning in the death of Zachary Taylor.

Other museums, however, have declined to do DNA tests on Lincoln artifacts.

Grove points out that while such material could shed light on history
or answer claims of descent, it could also lead to commercialization,
perhaps through sales of jewelry or other items embedded with famous
DNA.

And while it may be hard to say what Lincoln would have wanted, the
opinion of his surviving son seems clear. After repeated moves of
Lincoln's remains, as well as an 1876 plot to rob Lincoln's grave,
Robert Lincoln had his father's remains interred underground in 1901
in a steel cage encased in c

[FairfieldLife] $150M buys you late TV producer's L.A. mansion

[fflmod]

 
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090327/ap_on_bi_ge/spelling_mansion_for_sale
 

LOS ANGELES – The widow of producer Aaron Spelling is placing "The Manor" in 
the exclusive Holmby Hills neighborhood on the market for a jaw-dropping $150 
million, making it by far the most expensive home for sale in the U.S.
 
The French chateau-style mansion has 56,500 square feet of space on more than 
4.6 acres and is the largest home in Los Angeles County. Among the neighbors 
are the Los Angeles Country Club and, not too far away, the Playboy Mansion.
 
Candy Spelling's late husband produced hit shows such as "Charlie's Angels," 
"Dynasty" and "Beverly Hills 90210." He died in 2006.
 
"Everything there is glamorous, and is luxurious and it's really great scale," 
said Sally Forster Jones, an agent with Coldwell Banker Previews International 
in Los Angeles, which is co-listing the property. "There really is nothing to 
compare it to."
 
Candy Spelling told The Associated Press that she let her dog Madison, a 
soft-coated Wheaten Terrier, help pick out the best real estate agent for the 
task. She had her security bring the dog into the room every time she met one 
of the candidate agents and watched how the dog reacted. If Madison didn't like 
them, Spelling crossed them off the list.
 
Prospective buyers won't have to worry about passing such scrutiny, Spelling 
jokes.
 
"Not at all," she says.
 
The three-story mansion, built in 1991, is gated and features a winding 
driveway that leads up to the three-story house, which includes ceilings that 
reach up to 30 feet high, Jones said.
 
While some published reports put the tally of rooms in the mansion at well past 
100, Jones couldn't provide an exact count.
 
Spelling says she doesn't know either.
 
"You're really asking the wrong person," Spelling jokes. "There's a lot. (The 
house) has evolved and I actually haven't gone around and counted."
 
The Spellings found no shortage of uses for the many rooms in the mansion, 
however.
 
There's a bowling alley, wine cellar, wine tasting room, gift-wrapping room, a 
humidity-controlled silver storage room, China room, library, gym and media 
room, among many others.
 
The screening room is one of Spelling's favorites.
 
"I had some really wonderful times entertaining in that room," she said. "We 
showed movies and I still do."
 
The room features a movie projection system that automatically comes up from 
the floor at the same time that shades extend over the windows. It's an idea 
that came to Candy Spelling in dream as she sought to avoid having a projection 
screen open all the time.
 
"I wanted Aaron to have the best projection room anyone had ever seen, and the 
biggest, so I came with this solution, not realizing that we had to excavate a 
lot of dirt to get down that low, to have a special room that housed the screen 
that was totally dust free," said Spelling, 63.
  
The Spellings also finished the 17,000 square-foot attic that includes a barber 
shop and beauty salon. 
  
The home also includes a wing for service staff, including a kitchen and seven 
bedrooms, and five fireplaces and four wet bars. 
  
Lavish features also can be found outside the house, including a tennis court, 
fountains, a waterfall, a pool and spa, a reflection pool and a pool house with 
a kitchen, and 16 car ports. 
  
The estate also boasts an 18th Century-style garden, a rooftop rose garden and 
a citrus orchard. 
  
Prospective buyers won't have to worry much about parking when they host big 
parties. The property includes a winding motor court with space for more than 
100 cars. 
  
Spelling plans to trade her mansion lifestyle for a luxurious, two-story condo 
atop a residential tower in Los Angeles that she bought last year for $47 
million. 
 
"I have a lot of wonderful, wonderful, wonderful feelings about this house and 
special things that I went through in building it, with a love that you can't 
even imagine," she gushed. "Yet I feel like I'm moving on to a new chapter in 
my life."

At 12/03/2006 8:27 AM,  Anonymous said... 

An old friend of mine (an ex-TM teacher) lives in Fairfield and does not attend 
the TM functions (at their request, because he openly hosted, Oh No!, other 
gurus at his home when they passed through Fairfield. He enjoys the drama when 
they go through town. He still thinks TM is good, however. He recently told me 
that among those living there, many of the old-time TM teachers have turned to 
drugs and alcohol. He said that many are addicted to pain killers or are 
drunkards. He told me this very matter of factly, like it was normal in any 
community in the US to have a large number of strung out people, but I found it 
very strange, given MMY's teachings. 

I know that when I visited him in Fairfield a few years ago and went to see 
some Guru-passing-through type who was a "healer" of some kind, there was a 
huge group of TMers who were active in the domes, visiting the same guy, saying 
"shhh don't say you saw me here". Many many many of them had cancer and 
other horrible diseases like debilitating arthritis. Most of them were between 
25-50 years old. The "healer", who happened to be from India, said he had never 
seen so much disease in such a small, condensed population in his life.

The Pleiadies are a young cluster of hot stars which have had barely enough 
time to form planets let alone develop an advanced race of super beings on the 
said planets. Best estimates is that they've only been going for 100 million 
years. On Earth which looks like it formed about 4.5 billion years ago, we 
don't find any convincing evidence of life before 3.5 billion years ago. So it 
took 1 billion years for life to get established, and that was only primitive 
bacteria, not super-advanced pan-dimensional beings. 

This is however a hot chick in the Facebook TM group who claims to be a 
Pleiadian.

[FairfieldLife] Why there are no Pleiadians...

[fflmod]

 
"Interdimensional beings such as the Pleiadian's, Serians and Arcturians are 
just a few of the advanced races that will be overseeing a new economic system 
in place. This new system will be based on small family groups taking care of 
one another through bartering and good karma credits of service." 

 
Have you ever noticed how our space brothers always, always, always seem to 
hail from one of the very few *known* astronomical sources? In this case, the 
Pleiades, Sirius, and Arcturus? Like the Pleiades, Sirius is very well-known, 
actually the brightest-appearing star in the sky, while Arcturus is also 
well-known, a bright first-magnitude star. The point I want to make here is 
that, while astronomers estimate the mass of our galaxy to be as high as 400 
billion stars, our space brothers always, always, always seem to hail from one 
of the maybe 40 or so famous stars/star clusters/constellations. What are the 
chances? Really, what are the chances? Well, the chances of a space brother 
coming from any one *name* or *no-name* heavenly body is, obviously, 
approximately 1 in 400 billion, while the chances of a space brother coming 
from one of the maybe 40 *name* heavenly bodies is approximately 40 in 400 
billion, or 1 in 10 billion, while the
 chances of all the space brothers all coming from *name* heavenly bodies is, 
of course, astronomically higher than 1 in 10 billion.
 
Here's further proof of how this is all mood-making. Have you ever noticed how 
our space brothers never seem to hail from Scorpius and Sagittarius? Most of 
the stars in our galaxy are in the direction of Scorpius and Sagittarius, since 
those two constellations are situated in the direction of the galaxy center. 
Shouldn't at last some of our space brothers, if not most, come from where most 
of the stars are? Take a look at these photos of our galaxy center and see if 
you think there are too few stars around for at least one or two of our space 
brothers to hail from:

Can anyone guess why not a single one of our space brothers comes from Scorpius 
and Sagittarius? ANYONE?
 
It's simple, really. It's because when a "channeller" makes up a lame story 
about a space brother, the so-called "channeller" does not want the space 
brother to hail from any of the so-called zodiacal constellations, of 
which Scorpius and Sagittarius are two, because that would belittle their 
channelled bullcrap by associating it with astrology. That is the simple reason 
why none of our space brothers are ever reported to come from the very, very 
well-known household-name constellations of Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, 
Virgo, Libra, Scorpius, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces. Recognize 
your sign?
 
A space brother coming from your astrological sign? No way! It's much more 
believable if the space brother hails from a heavenly body that is a ten 
billion to one shot. Or even if all space brothers hail from heavenly bodies 
that are a ten billion to one shot.

It was not until an emergency effort to repair the
Hubble telescope was successful and the photos of
the Big Verginas became less fuzzy and out of focus
that the Pleiaidians lightened up and allowed the
Earth to survive.
 
Last week, a friend mentioned channellings from Sirius. I told him exactly why 
I felt there was likely no intelligent life on Sirius, or on the Pleiades, or 
on Arcturus, etc. My view, by the way, is based on 41 years of interest in 
astronomy. Look for my upcoming post on why there are no Pleiadians. 
 
Before I post, though, can anyone tell me why none of the space brothers ever 
hail from Scorpius or Sagittarius? And why that is so unusual?

Gotta give you that one. 

That's probably the reason that Krishna 
tried to make himself more important, too.

Call me an idiot, or someone who has "missed the point,"
but I really don't GET this quest for importance. 
I think it has to do with a misplaced quest for immortality, which we 
intuitively know (albeit hazily) we already are but which, failing to locate 
that which is truly eternal, we try to secure by glomming on to ephemeral 
things. 
Yeah, either that or the obvious, that chicks dig important guys.

I think it has to do with a misplaced quest for immortality, which we 
intuitively know (albeit hazily) we already are but which, failing to locate 
that which is truly eternal, we try to secure by glomming on to ephemeral
