I read it was the Army Corps of Engineers that had actually awarded the contract, but I'm not sure it makes much difference. Thanks for posting it. I do think it's very important to keep tabs on stuff like this; but on the other hand, we need to realize that contingency planning doesn't *necessarily* mean the administration expects to implemet the plan. It would be irresponsible *not* to have martial law and continuity-of-government plans in place if and when they're needed.

Yeah. That part is what I was referring to. Jumping to that conclusion is excessively alarmist in my view. HOWEVER, this is what I've seen on the subject: Homeland Security Contracts for Vast New Detention Camps News Analysis/Commentary, Peter Dale Scott, New America Media, Feb 08, 2006 http://tinyurl.com/9aqnn Editor's Note: A little-known $385 million contract for Halliburton subsidiary KBR to build detention facilities for "an emergency influx of immigrants" is another step down the Bush administration's road toward martial law, the writer says. BERKELEY, Calif.--A Halliburton subsidiary has just received a $385 million contract from the Department of Homeland Security to provide "temporary detention and processing capabilities." The contract -- announced Jan. 24 by the engineering and construction firm KBR -- calls for preparing for "an emergency influx of immigrants, or to support the rapid development of new programs" in the event of other emergencies, such as "a natural disaster." The release offered no details about where Halliburton was to build these facilities, or when. To date, some newspapers have worried that open-ended provisions in the contract could lead to cost overruns, such as have occurred with KBR in Iraq. A Homeland Security spokesperson has responded that this is a "contingency contract" and that conceivably no centers might be built. But almost no paper so far has discussed the possibility that detention centers could be used to detain American citizens if the Bush administration were to declare martial law. For those who follow covert government operations abroad and at home, the contract evoked ominous memories of Oliver North's controversial Rex-84 "readiness exercise" in 1984. This called for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to round up and detain 400,000 imaginary "refugees," in the context of "uncontrolled population movements" over the Mexican border into the United States. North's activities raised civil liberties concerns in both Congress and the Justice Department. The concerns persist. "Almost certainly this is preparation for a roundup after the next 9/11 for Mid-Easterners, Muslims and possibly dissenters," says Daniel Ellsberg, a former military analyst who in 1971 released the Pentagon Papers, the U.S. military's account of its activities in Vietnam. "They've already done this on a smaller scale, with the 'special registration' detentions of immigrant men from Muslim countries, and with Guantanamo." Plans for detention facilities or camps have a long history, going back to fears in the 1970s of a national uprising by black militants. As Alonzo Chardy reported in the Miami Herald on July 5, 1987, an executive order for continuity of government (COG) had been drafted in 1982 by FEMA head Louis Giuffrida. The order called for "suspension of the Constitution" and "declaration of martial law." The martial law portions of the plan were outlined in a memo by Giuffrida's deputy, John Brinkerhoff. In 1985, President Reagan signed National Security Decision Directive 188, one of a series of directives that authorized continued planning for COG by a private parallel government. Two books, James Mann's "Rise of the Vulcans" and James Bamford's "A Pretext for War," have revealed that in the 1980s this parallel structure, operating outside normal government channels, included the then-head of G. D. Searle and Co., Donald Rumsfeld, and then-Congressman from Wyoming Dick Cheney. After 9/11, new martial law plans began to surface similar to those of FEMA in the 1980s. In January 2002 the Pentagon submitted a proposal for deploying troops on American streets. One month later John Brinkerhoff, the author of the 1982 FEMA memo, published an article arguing for the legality of using U.S. troops for purposes of domestic security.

FWIW, there is indeed quite solid evidence that there are plans to build such camps; the Army Corps of Engineers recently awarded a contract to Halliburton to build them, purportedly to handle a massive influx of refugees from disaster of some kind. And there's good reason to be concerned about the contemplated uses of the camps. What's "beyond bizarre," however, is the notion that the camps would be equipped with gas chambers for mass extermination of the inhabitants.

Sorry Vaj, you don't come off as credible in the least-- Just someone peddling their own "special" brand of enlightenment. Dogmatic.

What you're failing to recognize is the technique of the smear. How many times have you heard a politician make a smear and then claim that his words are being taken out of context?

Samadhi Is Much Closer Than You Think -- Really! -- It's A No-Brainer. Who'd've Thunk It?
I'm witnessing much "projection" from people reading things "into" statements that in fact, both grammatically, literally, explicitly and imiplicitly are not being made by the people the misreaders are accusing of. As meditators, more mature objectivization is a consequence of sincerity in meditation, the mind taking the shape of more truthful dispositions and perspectives. Of all that anyone leading or teaching has to convey, the most valuable thing to cultivate and convey to others is *a moral conscience*. Only such persons deserve to lead others , in any capacity. *Anything less is a menace to society*. On 10/15/07, feste37 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > You must be very naive.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Mahesh and Hitler
If you're referring to my comment it was about TTC not just people learning TM. Becoming a teacher was a magnitude much deeper than just being a meditator or even Sidha. What you're saying is that meditation became a replacement for drugs albeit a "safe" one. That would have worked with a lot of meditation courses but at the time in the 1970's TM was probably one of the least cult like of the organizations (that manifested later). I can just imagine what might have happened if I did one of Muktananda's weekend sessions (and I had friends at the time that did) and became involved with that organization which was more "religious" in nature. My relatives would have had a fit but because of the well publicized secular nature of the TMO they were supportive even when I did TTC and then the Sidhis (which they loved to have me tell people about my "flying" just to see the reaction). By the time I did TM I was already far from the musician's drug scene. In fact the other two members of the jazz trio I played in also started TM and one also became a teacher. What I am referring to is how Maharishi invented "yuppies." :) Rick Archer wrote: > I’d like to comment on someone’s observation that Maharishi took the best > and the brightest of the baby boomers and turned them into bug-eyed cult > zombies.

When did I say Mahesh prepared his people to commit mass murder? These are conclusions you are drawing, these are not accusations I am making.

True. However, fiesty Feste, Angela did already address this fact in her first or second post on the subject.

The same attitude is coming from all directions, not just TM. We're finding it in Buddhism (as it's usually taught in the West), Eckart Tolle, certainly in Byron Katie, and very strongly in the Neo-Advaitin gurus. The good parts of Eastern philosophy that I glommed onto as a girl have pretty much been forgotten and taken over by what is either distortions of the original teachings or -- maybe the insidiousness was there all along and I was too young to see it.

Samadhi Is Much Closer Than You Think -- Really! -- It's A No-Brainer. Who'd've Thunk It?
There is corroberating articles and perhaps even video at this link: http://NewUSConcentrationCamps.andmuchmore.com regarding US concentration camps already built. Of all that anyone leading or teaching has to convey, the most valuable thing to cultivate and convey to others is *a moral conscience*. Only such persons deserve to lead others , in any capacity. *Anything less is a menace to society*.

A manifestation similar to other manifestations during the pre-Nazi and Nazi era -- not necessarily cocreators, simply there concurrently.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Mahesh and Hitler
I agree that the TMO can't be singled out, and if I did, I was in error. There's tons of New Age stuff around, just as there was in Germany before and during Hitler. Also, don't forget that I've been a meditator for going on sixty-two years now. The worst thing I've said about TMO and other New Age is that they may have been a distraction. They may have prevented political action when stories of torture first came out. And then, nobody has touched my question about the Burmese monks giving their lives for democracy and the political freedom of others while we are doing what exactly? There is some evidence that American concentration camps are already built (and note I said evidence, I did not say proof), then those who man the gas valves will most likely not be the TM crowd.

My ultra conservative Irish Catholic father whom I'd considered an asshole, became one of my best supporters.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Mahesh and Hitler
You are making some unwarranted assumptions about what gets published where. Note that in your case they are assumptions since you don't read other languages. In my case, however, it's not assumptions but real reading experience and research experience. The two dudes that started the Thule Society were indeed a couple of shady characters. Whose servants they were is unclear. But they did start the society that created Hitler. Others came on board of course, and the whole story would take twenty pages to lay out. To do so is not part of my point. Wikipedia is useful, but hardly qualifies as a scholarly tool. See how far you'd get in grad school citing Wikipedia. It may serve as a beginning point of research but is no substitute for serious research and scholarship. a hugheshugo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Angela Mailander <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm not exonerating anyone, nor am I blaming anyone.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Mahesh and Hitler
His point, Angela, seems to be that your paralleling the TMO and Nazi Germany is not to be taken seriously because, unlike the Nazis, the movement has never committed violence. True. However, fiesty Feste, Angela did already address this fact in her first or second post on the subject. She said the Third Reich prepared its people to be nonchalant about mass murder by instilling New Age principles in them in advance of the violence. So the fact that violence has not yet erupted in the current situation could mean we're not yet at that stage. I believe, though, Angela, that Maharishi's movement can't be singled out for instilling in our culture ideas that are damaging to individual responsibility, discriminating thought, and the integrity of the individual ego. The same attitude is coming from all directions, not just TM. We're finding it in Buddhism (as it's usually taught in the West), Eckart Tolle, certainly in Byron Katie, and very strongly in the Neo-Advaitin gurus. The good parts of Eastern philosophy that I glommed onto as a girl have pretty much been forgotten and taken over by what is either distortions of the original teachings or -- maybe the insidiousness was there all along and I was too young to see it. MMY's movement is becoming scary with the rajas stuff and is setting itself up in a way that could turn militant. As such it stands out as particularly suspect. But I believe something deeper is afoot, which all these "spiritual" movements are serving in concert with each other. - Bronte Angela Mailander <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Your first question misses my point so completely, I'm at a loss as to how to respond.

Some of you are a little hasty in drawing conclusions about what I've said so far and even the nature of my mind.

My ultra conservative Irish Catholic father whom I'd considered an asshole, became one of my best supporters. After I'd practiced TM for about a year he told me, "That meditation saved your life, boy." And after I became a TM teacher my father asked me to initiate him. Now THAT'S a miracle!

RE: [FairfieldLife] Re: Mahesh and Hitler
I’d like to comment on someone’s observation that Maharishi took the best and the brightest of the baby boomers and turned them into bug-eyed cult zombies. Another way of looking at it is that he took a bunch of drugged-out hippies and enabled them to live wholesome, productive lives. When I learned TM, I had dropped out of high school, had been taking drugs for a year and was beginning to dabble with heroin, which some of my friends became addicted to and died from, had been arrested twice, and was in a very muddled state, mentally. Within a few weeks of learning TM, I had dropped my druggie friends, gotten a job, enrolled in a community college, made amends with my father, etc. And things got better from there. Many of us can tell similar stories. This doesn’t excuse all the things about MMY and the TMO that I and others criticize, but I think you have to give credit where credit is due.

"There is such a thing as the anti-christ, but there is a great misapprehension about what the anti-christ is. Fundamentally, the anti-christ is the First or Will aspect of God, in its destructive form. It is that which destroys in order to prepare the way for the building aspect, which is the Christ aspect. It is that which breaks down and destroys the old to prepare the new forms for the incoming energy, the building energy, so that the Christ aspect can manifest. That is what is happening now. This anti-christ force has worked out through the war from 1914-1945. (From the Hierarchical point of view that was one war.) That war was precipitated on to the physical plane from the astral planes where it had been going on, since Atlantean times, between the Forces of Light and the Forces of Darkness; the evolutionary and the involutionary forces; the Hierarchy and the materialistic forces of this planet. The war between them in Atlantis caused the Hierarchy (Who before then had worked openly, outwardly in the world as the priest-kings and god-like beings Who gave men the Atlantean civilisation) to become occult, esoteric, working only from the higher mental planes. By the defeat of the Axis powers in the war of 1939-1945, the Forces of Evil of the planet (which is the evil of all mankind, not simply of the Axis powers) were defeated. Certain leaders in Nazi Germany, Japan, and to a much lesser extent in Italy, focused in themselves the energy which we call the anti-christ; but it is an energy, it is not a being, not an individual. It is preparing the way. It is the destructive force of God Himself, which prepares the way for the Christ. Where the involutionary force overflows on to the evolutionary arc (on which we are), it appears to us as evil. It has its role, in upholding the matter aspect of the planet, but too gross a materiality prevents mankind from advancing along the evolutionary path. The Forces of Evil on the planet have been defeated. They are not destroyed, but they are defeated. There is a stanza in the Great Invocation which says: 'And may it seal the door where evil dwells'. This refers to the sealing energies (which we transmitted earlier in the meeting). Their job is to lock away, to seal those forces to their own domain, to uphold the matter aspect, by lifting humanity above the level where they can be influenced, so that we can spiritualise matter, which is what we are really about." http://www.shareintl.org Send instant messages to your online friends http://uk.messenger.yahoo.com
Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Mahesh and Hitler
I'm not exonerating anyone, nor am I blaming anyone. I assume that when you say that you've read everything you could find on WWII, you mean what you could find in English. I read German, French, and Russian and can get through Dutch, Italian, Spanish and Danish given time and a dictionary. I went to high school in three different countries and learned early that the history that is taught in the U.S. is not the same history that is taught in, say, France. As for conspiracy theory bullshit, an objective researcher reads that also and with as critical an eye as she reads everything else. In fact, the minute a culture makes something taboo, she definitely takes a closer look. As for references, most of what I've got is in German and in French. I'll provide those references if you read those languages. Now, about the two guys: one of them is Moses Pinkeles (probably a Jew), a.k.a. Ignaz Trebitsch-Lincoln, a.k.a. Thimotheus Lincoln, a.k.a. Lama Djordi Den, a.k.a. Abbot Chao Kung. The agent of the pope he hung out with in New York in 1915 (two years after the creation of the Federal Reserve (which, by published admission of some of its members, was a conspiracy) was Franz von Papen. He was a Papal Chamberlain and best bud of Eugenio Pacelli, Papal Nuncio in Germany, the man who later becomes Pius XII. Moses (a.k.a. Ignaz Trebitsch-Lincoln, a.k.a. Thimotheus Lincoln, a.k.a. Lama Djordi Den, a.k.a. Abbot Chao Kung) later works directly under Himmler, establishes a Buddhist monastery in Berlin and goes on several expeditions to Tibet for Hitler, the first of which is to deliver a radio to the Dalai Lama (not the current guy, but his predecessor) so that Adolf and the Lama can chat daily. Moses (a.k.a. Ignaz Trebitsch-Lincoln, a.k.a. Thimotheus Lincoln, a.k.a. Lama Djordi Den, a.k.a. Abbot Chao Kung) is a useful fellow, it appears. In addition to working behind the scenes to help put Hitler in charge of Germany, he also helps the Shah of Iran grab the throne (though the evidence is somewhat sketchy in this instance), but he engineers several revolutions in China, working for three different war lords—no fuzzy evidence this time, but clear as day. He always has enough money to do these things, (buying a newspaper for Hitler, for example, which became the official Nazi rag) but all efforts to trace the source(s) of this money, have remained fruitless. The other, equally mysterious and useful guy with unknown sources of money at his back and who blew into Munich with multiple names was Rudolf Glauer, a.k.a. Erwin Torre, a.k.a. the Baron Rudolf, Freiherr von Sebottendorf. Much of Rudy's life lies in darkness, but it seems that as a young man, he was initiated into a Masonic Order by a Jewish banker by the name of Termudi in Turkey, and, with Termudi's guidance, he made it to the level of Rosicrucian Grand Master. By the time he's going on forty and just before coming to Germany, he is adopted by another Rosicrucian, the German expatriate, Freiherr von Sebottendorf und von der Rose. If Rudy were to be useful in Germany, he definitely needed that von in front of his name. It was primarily Rudy and Moses who provided the occult philosophy to the Thule Society which became an important aspect of Nazism, though one ignored by most historians and by the War Crimes Trials after the war. Rudy and Moses also provided the antisemitism, pervasively current in most of Europe and Russia, and which, from the beginning was designed to create a single enemy for the masses to focus on. It is important to understand that in the Thule Society, the society Rudy started with Moses at his back, especially at its upper levels, the rule was what Goering later said quite openly, “Who’s a Jew and who isn’t is my decision.” And here's a little icing on the cake of mystery which may or may not have anything to do with anything: Rudy and Moses apparently faked their own deaths. Rudy was a seeming suicide, but the body that was fished out of the Bosporus River turned out on later and on closer examination not to be his. And Moses, as the Abbot Chao Kung, allegedly died in a hospital in Shanghai, but when the Americans dug up his grave after the war, they found his coffin to be empty. a hugheshugo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Angela Mailander <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > To the question who are they and how do I know it: > Briefly the way Hitler got made was this: Two guys show up in Munich, both with a long string of aliases and both of them from abroad.

It is preparing the way. It is the destructive force of God Himself, which prepares the way for the Christ. Where the involutionary force overflows on to the evolutionary arc (on which we are), it appears to us as evil. It has its role, in upholding the matter aspect of the planet, but too gross a materiality prevents mankind from advancing along the evolutionary path. The Forces of Evil on the planet have been defeated. They are not destroyed, but they are defeated. There is a stanza in the Great Invocation which says: 'And may it seal the door where evil dwells'. This refers to the sealing energies (which we transmitted earlier in the meeting). Their job is to lock away, to seal those forces to their own domain, to uphold the matter aspect, by lifting humanity above the level where they can be influenced, so that we can spiritualise matter, which is what we are really about." http://www.shareintl.org

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Mahesh and Hitler
To the question who are they and how do I know it: Briefly the way Hitler got made was this: Two guys show up in Munich, both with a long string of aliases and both of them from abroad. Nobody knows where they got their money, historians have looked and haven't been able to figure it out. One of these two guys was hanging out with an agent of the Pope in New York City prior to showing up in Germany. The two of them start a society with a decidedly New Age flavor. They teach meditation and "advanced" courses. All secret. They attract people from the upper echelons of society with money, but also working class types.

Public. What I really got from it was how the organization of "higher" levels within the movement allowed the leader to insulate himself (or herself) from the larger, consensual reality that the ideology was prepared to supplant. The first relational dynamic is just the leader and the rest of the world. Once the leader has followers there is a division (to one degree or another) between them and the "outside the ideology" world.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Mahesh and Hitler
I have seen no real evidence that there are off-world beings. So I do not believe or disbelieve their existence. This is not a question of belief, but a question of fact. Until there is credible evidence, I will keep an open mind on the question. That the people I mentioned said what they said is a historical fact. But I have no way of judging the substance of what they said to be either true or false. The dude that said the world was ruled from Tibet went on an expedition there to deliver a radio to the Dali Lama so that he and Hitler could have daily chats.

The fundamental diagram of the leader at the very center of the movement, with concentric cells of followers around the leader, extending outwards from the font of the ideology to the general public at large, with each level at its own position on the gradient from closer to the leader to farthest away; from the inner circle to John & Jane Q. Public. What I really got from it was how the organization of "higher" levels within the movement allowed the leader to insulate himself (or herself) from the larger, consensual reality that the ideology was prepared to supplant. The first relational dynamic is just the leader and the rest of the world. Once the leader has followers there is a division (to one degree or another) between them and the "outside the ideology" world. What really got to me was how she described the totalitarian leader's natural organization of "levels" *within* the new movement and the setting of qualifications/bars to admittance to each new level; each new level or intimacy with the ideology (and/or the leader) requiring not only a greater commitment to the ideology but also a greater rejection of the outside world. In this model those on the outside levels are equally important to the organization, however, because they entirely interface with the greater social reality and function as conduits for resources from the outside world (money, for instance) as well as buffers from that world for those on the inner levels. With the establishment of each new level, Arendt says, the leader demands an increased personal commitment which some percentage cannot muster and so find themselves relegated to a lower, less powerful level (as perceived by the follower) as a new inner circle is created. Fanaticism is selected for and 'bred' into the movement; furthermore, it increasingly becomes the ideal strived for. It matched my experiences of the TMO. (As a total side note and not to draw a parallel with the TMO, Arendt points out how the first SS officers to run the first mobile gas chambers for the elimination of the Jews, were chosen from the very best and intelligent of the military. Their idealism and character was invoked as necessary to do what might be seen as despicable by the outside world; their integrity was needed to be sure that what they did was right and noble. It was a complete conversion of principle to justify unprincipled behavior.) Marek

There's certainly no "not invented here" prohibition in their ranks. If I were them though, I'd look elsewhere than the TMO.

I'd agree that good and evil, light and dark, balance each other out in a universal Dharma. All I think we can do is live as simply as possible, with our wits about us, being ourselves. and the more we are simply ourselves, surrendering to our universal nature, with our wits about us, the more easily we can sustain a universal point of perfect personal balance, regardless of what occurs in time and space. Fewer problems both short and long term. See the job, do the job. I agree that it *is* God playing all the roles to entertain Himself, in the lap of Mother Divine.
