We shall see, with more certainty, over time. It looks, now, as if it this brouhaha amounts to a cat fight with Nicole Wallace, the sometime George Bush staffer who was put in charge of Palin for the McCain campaign. Wallace has a history of being a vicious political infighter http://frum.nationalreview.com/post/?q=ZTA3MDY2NGE3ODFjYjViNjhlOGFkMWZi\ NzYwZWRmYjY= , and it appears certain Palin was ill-served by McCain's decision to install Wallace as Palin's de facto campaign chief of staff - and not merely b/c Wallace is a vicious political knife-fighter, but mostly b/c Wallace failed, spectacularly, to help Palin - and thus Wallace also failed to help McCain. Notes on Palin hit http://theendzone.blogspot.com/2008/11/topics-notes-on-palin-hit.html by The End Zone 11/6/08 Nicole Wallace prevented Palin from doing interviews for weeks - including easier interviews with local media, conservative radio, Sean Hannity - thus building up incredible anticipation for Palin's first public interviews even as Palin failed to get her feet under her by doing a type of Baseball Spring Training of easier interviews. Then Wallace sent Palin in, cold, to interviews with Charles Gibson and Katie Couric, and crucially allowed Gibson and Couric to edit(!!!) the interviews, which both did in misleading ways http://neoneocon.com/2008/10/01/pre-debate-musings-on-the-bloodsport-of\ -dissecting-palin-performances/ designed to make Gibson and Couric look brilliant and Palin look stupid. As a contrast, both Bill O'Reilly and Chris Wallace offered Palin 1/2 hour interviews which would be unedited. Neither O'Reilly nor Wallace ever got interviews with Palin - which shows how out of touch the McCain staff was. O'Reilly did speak with Palin on the phone; she assured him she wanted to do his show; McCain staff later refused to allow her to do O'Reilly. Bill O'Reilly gets more viewers every night than all other cable news shows combined. Nicole Wallace used to work for CBS News. Cue conspiracy music. The wardrobe debacle http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2008/10/021865.php was Nicole Wallace's responsibility. A loyal staffer would've taken the public hit. Nicole Wallace did not. Nicole Wallace's priority was her own political future - not Sarah Palin's and John McCain's political futures. Disgusting http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/2008/11/palinophobia_1.asp . And now come the publicly unsourced catfight knife fight potentially lethal [EMAIL PROTECTED] accusations against Palin, which basically are designed as 1) vindictive retribution and 2) rehabilitation of Nicole Wallace's reputation and political career. Doubly disgusting. I spit in Nicole Wallace's general direction. And I can't believe Carl Cameron credulously reported this @#$%. And I can't believe McCain assigned the crucial position of Palin's top aide to a person who would turn on the candidate in such fashion. That, MY FRIENDS, is some suck-ass bad judgment. Sarah Palin had every incentive and reason to rebel against the way she was mishandled by McCain Staff. If anything, Palin should've rebelled more forcefully. And, btw, Nicole Wallace has no apparent connection to either Romney or Huckabee. Those gentlemen have clean hands, and my respect. McCain, however, is losing my respect by failing to defend Sarah Palin. McCain could, with a couple of sentences, put this potentially lethal brouhaha to rest and ensure that Palin gets a chance at a future national career. McCain apparently cannot be bothered. And every day he delays makes any eventual defense of Palin weaker and less effective. Hey, McBozo: she's only been vigorously defending you for two freaking months, regularly drawing crowds of 10,000, and increasing RNC contributions by many millions of $. Pull your head out. YOU lost the election. SHE did everything possible to save your booty, and frankly prevented you from being blown out by 15 points nationally. If you've a brain in your noggin, you will see that a little gratitude for her forthright effort would be nice.
[FairfieldLife] 'The Beat Goes On'
Day One: Obama faces a Cold War threat and a warning from Israel By David Gardner Barack Obama was confronting a looming international crisis just hours after his White House election triumph. The U.S. President-elect faced a triple threat with Russia, Israel and Afghanistan all threatening to test his mettle. Locked away in his Chicago home, Mr Obama received his first national security intelligence briefing yesterday as he wrestled with appointments for his Cabinet. Straight to work: President-elect Obama faces a looming international crisis He ventured out twice, once to visit his local gym and then his downtown offices. Each time he was escorted by a convoy of black vehicles carrying heavily armed secret service agents. Aides said he planned no public appearances until later in the week. It also emerged that both Mr Obama and Mr McCain's computers were hacked into by a 'foreign entity' during the campaign. Newsweek magazine revealed the FBI and the Secret Service had been called in, with one agent warning the Obama campaign: 'You have a problem way bigger than what you understand... You have been compromised, and a serious amount of files have been loaded off your system.' Working out: US President-elect Barack Obama leaves a gym in Chicago Federal agents told Mr Obama's team in late August that Mr McCain's campaign computer system had been similarly compromised, with a McCain aide confirming to Newsweek that the computer system had been hacked and the FBI involved. Officials at the FBI and the White House believed a foreign entity or organization sought to gather information on the evolution of both camps' policy positions wotj tje idea of using that information negotiations with a future administration. They assured the Obama team its system had not been hacked by their computer opponents. Obama technical experts later speculated the hackers were Russian or Chinese, and security ended the intrusion, Newsweek reported. The hacking may have been Mr Obama's first skirmish with what was believed to be a foreign entity, but yesterday world leaders laid down the gauntlet. On watch: A secret service agent in a convoy that took Obama to the gym Regime change: Mr Obama has offered the role of Chief of Staff to controversial Rahm Emanuel in his first selection for the new administration Russian President Dmitry Medvedev was first to lay down a challenge to America's new leader - by increasing tension in a stand off reminiscent of the Cold War. In a provocative speech from the Kremlin, he threatened to base warheads along the Polish border if Mr Obama goes forward with a Bush administration plan to create a missile shield in Eastern Europe. Then Israel warned last night that the new U.S. Commander-in-Chief's campaign claim that he was ready to open talks with Iran could be seen in the Middle East as a sign of weakness. After eight years of staunch support from President Bush, the Israelis are now watching Mr Obama closely - even though he does not take power until January - looking for indicators as to how he will handle the nuclear threat from Tehran. 'We live in a neighbourhood in which dialogue - in a situation where you have brought sanctions and you then shift to dialogue - is liable to be interpreted as weakness,' said Israeli foreign minister Tzipi Livni. Asked if she supported any U.S. talks with Iran, she quickly said: 'The answer is no.' In a step that will further increase Israel's anxiety about Obama, Tehran announced last night that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had broken a 29-year tradition and sent his congratulations to the President-elect - the first time an Iranian leader has offered such wishes since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. Ahmadinejad congratulated the Democrat on 'attracting the majority of voters in the election'. He said he hoped Obama will 'use the opportunity to serve the (American) people and leave a good name for history' during his term in office. Iran and the U.S. have had no formal diplomatic relations since 1979 when militant Iranian students held 52 Americans captive 444 days. President Bush has repeatedly clashed with Tehran over its nuclear program and its opposition to the U.S.-led invasions and occupations of Afghanistan and Iraq. In Afghanistan, President Hamid Karzai demanded that Mr Obama 'put an end to civilian casualties' by changing U.S. military tactics to avoid airstrikes in the war on the Taliban. He spoke out after seven wedding party guests were accidentally killed by an American airstrike in the southern Kandahar province. Afghan officials said last night 13 gunmen were killed in the attack. Mr Obama has vowed to switch the U.S. military focus from Iraq to Afghanistan and is reportedly planning to ask Britain to send 3,000 extra troops to bolster extra American forces in the region. But his aides fear a public backlash if he moves swiftly in Afghanistan before acting on
[FairfieldLife] The Stage is set. By the Master----,
The stage is set by the Master , through Benjamin Creme, 11 October 2008 For many years We, your Elder Brothers, have warned men of the dangers of blindly following market forces which, themselves, are blind. Thus, the present widespread economic and financial crisis should not be unexpected. The 'bubble' created by competition and greed had, inevitably, to burst. Yet the 'men of money' who built this towering edifice on shifting sands are stunned by the outcome, are at a loss to understand the reasons for the catastrophe and are already looking for better ways of continuing the same folly. The people of the countries worst hit by the recent events, however, know well the reasons for the collapse, and are angry in the knowledge that it is they who will suffer hardship and want in the months and years ahead. Window Maitreya, waiting patiently in the wings, sees this as a 'window of opportunity' which allows Him to emerge openly and begin His outer mission. Thus, the long wait for His emergence is almost over. Very soon indeed now men will hear Maitreya's call for action and for change. Already, amid the myriad analysts the media have turned to for explanation and advice in the current crisis are a few who wisely warn that radical change is essential; that control and regulation of the 'men of money' must be a top priority to prevent a repetition. The people call for fairness and justice and are in no mood to be ignored. Thus the stage is set, at last, for the words of Maitreya to be heard, and to be seen as sensible and true. He will tell men that the continuation of the present disorder will bring only further chaos; that only a complete and ordered reconstruction of the world's economic system will bring justice and peace; that without such justice and peace the future would be bleak indeed. He will tell them that we have the answer in our hands, that the world is one; that we live and prosper as one or face annihilation. These things, bit by bit, Maitreya will tell the world and the people will respond. Before their present leaders, they will see His good sense, and welcome the opportunity to put into practice His advice. How long this phase will last is difficult to predict but, in the present chaotic conditions it may be relatively short indeed. The greedy 'men of money' have been caught out and their methods found wanting. The people who only want sufficient to raise their families in decency are more than ready for the changes and the challenges of the future. They want justice and peace and are prepared to share to achieve these precious goals. The people are ready; the 'men of money' are bewildered and are licking their wounds; Maitreya, too, is ready, and has His hand on the door. http://shareintl.org

Give them a card that represents monopoly money, and they all turn into shopa- holics. So do nations. That's what is wrong with America. Then again, I live on a completely cash basis, and have for years. I buy nothing that I do not have the cash to pay for, and never will again. If I wind up getting married again, whoever I marry will have to enjoy living that way as well if she's spending any of my money. (Her own she can deal with any way she wants.) All this talk of women and credit cards does remind me, however, of a TM couple I knew back in L.A. He was a lawyer, and is probably still active in the movement, and his ex probably is, too, because she was a real TB. TB or not, when she decided to split from her hubby, she went out and charged up $250,000 on his credit cards and stuck him with paying them off, and then blew town. That's the TM view of what right action is, I guess. It took him a decade to pay off the debt. Given all the stories of Sarah Palin, and from all of the different sources they have come from, it appears she did the same thing with the RNC's credit cards. When they have to send a lawyer to Alaska to retrieve some of the clothes she claimed that she was going to auction off for charity after the election, it's pretty clear that she never had any intention of doing it.

Then Wallace sent Palin in, cold, to interviews with Charles Gibson and Katie Couric, and crucially allowed Gibson and Couric to edit(!!!) the interviews, which both did in misleading ways designed to make Gibson and Couric look brilliant and Palin look stupid. Yeah, she looked dumb because of editing! A play right out of R.Kelly's defense strategy. Was their editing between when she was asked a question and then she answered it? Maybe off camera they hit her in the forehead with a 2 by 4 between questions perhaps? Or did they just cut out all the scary smart things she said in between her twisted syntax, malaprop ridden, dropped G's, faux folksy, deer in the headlights, Junior Miss. contest question answering...I could go on till inauguration of the guy who edited the Harvard Law Review. You know what was unedited? Palin getting pranked by the Canadian D.J.s and working, who she thought was Sarkozy, with a flirtsy false flattering style that hasn't worked on guys since junior high. It wasn't the editing, and shooting the messenger of just how ridiculous she was as a VP choice, especially calling it a catfight is not gunna work. These are just the details of what we heard with our own ears and saw with our own eyes. McCain, however, is losing my respect by failing to defend Sarah Palin.

Notes on Palin hit http://theendzone.blogspot.com/2008/11/topics-notes-on-palin-hit.html by The End Zone 11/6/08 Nicole Wallace prevented Palin from doing interviews for weeks - including easier interviews with local media, conservative radio, Sean Hannity - thus building up incredible anticipation for Palin's first public interviews even as Palin failed to get her feet under her by doing a type of Baseball Spring Training of easier interviews. Then Wallace sent Palin in, cold, to interviews with Charles Gibson and Katie Couric, and crucially allowed Gibson and Couric to edit(!!!) the interviews, which both did in misleading ways http://neoneocon.com/2008/10/01/pre-debate-musings-on-the-bloodsport-of\ -dissecting-palin-performances/ designed to make Gibson and Couric look brilliant and Palin look stupid. As a contrast, both Bill O'Reilly and Chris Wallace offered Palin 1/2 hour interviews which would be unedited. Neither O'Reilly nor Wallace ever got interviews with Palin - which shows how out of touch the McCain staff was. O'Reilly did speak with Palin on the phone; she assured him she wanted to do his show; McCain staff later refused to allow her to do O'Reilly. Bill O'Reilly gets more viewers every night than all other cable news shows combined. Nicole Wallace used to work for CBS News. Cue conspiracy music. The wardrobe debacle

[FairfieldLife] Re: Kneecapping Sarah Palin
She's a national politician who spent the past 3 months designating which parts of the country were real America or fake America, while stirring up the worst prejudices and fears at her rallies, and while pretending to be some average small town girl who just wants to bring some goodness to DC by golly. All the truth about who this woman really is and what how she actually governs and behaves should come out. She's not going anywhere - she's the hero of the evangelical base and she's gotten a taste of the spotlight. This post nailed it. She is no innocent for all her idiocy. She was trying to wink and smile and slander her way into the most powerful position in the world, with almost no exposure to questioning. (right behind a multiple cancer surviving 72 year old) president) So if people want to reveal what she said and did so we can finally know more about the bullet the world just dodged...that's OK. She made the bed she is sleeping in. She is a tough chick and she earned this the minute she went all William Ayers on Obama's ass. She can't have it both ways, she is an innocent victim who needs McCain to rescue her, AND she was ready and qualified to lead the world. She wanted to hunt with the big dogs, it was her choice, and she obviously relished it. At least no one is trying to slander her by dubious associations. She is not getting close to what she dished out in her two months of infamy. So in a phrase from the real America that she is sure to understand: Don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya on your way back to monitor when Putin raises his head into our airspace. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, boo_lives [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Peter drpetersutphen@ wrote: --- On Fri, 11/7/08, raunchydog raunchydog@ wrote: From: raunchydog raunchydog@ Subject: [FairfieldLife] Re: Kneecapping Sarah Palin To: FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com Date: Friday, November 7, 2008, 8:35 AM --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Vaj vajradhatu@ wrote: Yeah but she borrowed his credit card and spent way too much at the mall.

This explains a lot about his patronizing attitude toward the women he can't control on this forum. This story is not about allegations of Palin's shopping habits. It is about orchestrated trashing of a candidate, like her or not, who brought life to a crappy campaign headed for the grave. If McCain were the honorable man he claims to be, he would defend her. He owes her, big time. Palin's behavior created a lot of animosity towards her from the McCain camp. This combined with the fact that McCain did not want to choose her in the first place is why their letting the press throw her under the bus. Maybe McCain will step-up and say something , who knows. But I agree, it is pretty petty, nasty stuff. I think she was an absolutely horrible choice as a running mate, but she's a human being, for God's sake. Leave her alone.

Palin was being handled by Nicolle Wallace, a veteran of the hardball politics of the Bush-Cheney campaign (she had been a press-bashing director of communications). Recruited by Schmidt, Wallace had come from a stint as a commentator at CBS. She had the disastrous idea of making Palin available only for a series of high-profile media interviews, and then overprepared her with a cram course of talking points. It was embarrassing to watch Palin grope for answers to Katie Couric's questionsand thanks to YouTube, more than 10 million voters witnessed it. She is not a dumb person, said a senior McCain adviser. She is an intelligent person, but we made her so uptight. Some old McCain hands on the campaign were sharply critical of the Bush-Cheney alumni brought onboard by Schmidt. Wallace and the others had not only botched the handling of Palin, in the view of the old McCainiacs; they didn't understand that McCain needed to be McCain. (Wallace took responsibility, in an edgy kind of way: I keep trying to get someone to write that it's my stupid strategy, she told a NEWSWEEK reporter. I should be fired. I've offered my resignation twice in the spirit of Dwight D. Eisenhower, taking responsibility, and no one will take it. In truth, Wallace was in a tough place: Palin was no longer taking much coaching from her. Feeling that she had been overmanaged for her one-on-one debut with a network anchorCharlie Gibson of ABCPalin had rebuffed Wallace's help with her Couric interview.) Newsweek dishes new dirt on Palin and Nicolle Wallace posted at 9:05 pm on November 6, 2008 by Allahpundit http://hotair.com/wp/wp-content/wp-recommend/recommend.popup.php?url=ht\ tp://hotair.com/archives/2008/11/06/newsweek-dishes-new-dirt-on-palin-an\ d-nicolle-wallace/ http://hotair.com/archives/2008/11/06/newsweek-dishes-new-dirt-on-palin\ -and-nicolle-wallace/?print=1 Nothing too shocking http://www.newsweek.com/id/167950/output/print , but useful background. There was grumbling that Palin had jumped the gun by bringing up Ayers at her rallies before the campaign could properly do the groundwork with a rollout strategy and ads. (At one rally, she had talked about Obama palling around with terrorists.) Palin was mad at her handlers. Reportedly, she felt that Wallace and Schmidt had poorly coached and advised her. One adviser later speculated that she impulsively talked about Ayers because she felt thwartedshe had really wanted to bring up the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. (Actually, Palin was feeling hurt and angry over the tabloid treatment of her 17-year-old daughter Bristol, and decidedon her ownthat Ayers should be fair game. McCain's advisers were working on a strategy that would launch an Ayers attack the following week, but McCain had not signed off on it, and Salter was resisting.) The campaign's internal polls showed that those lower-income swing voters in industrial states had not forgotten about Wright. In the view of some of his advisers, McCain had a chance to really hurt Obama by dredging up those videotapes of his longtime pastor crying Goddam America! But McCain did not want to. He did not want to do anything that smacked of racism. An unnamed source who's probably Randy Scheunemann told Politico two weeks ago that Schmidt and Wallace would end up being the ones trying to tear Palin down http://ace.mu.nu/archives/277539.php . Whether that's because the source had reason to believe they'd leak or simply because he/she knew there was bad blood between them and Palin and expected some post-campaign sniping, no one except Politico knows. Two months later, though, I'm unclear how Palin was overprepared for questions about what periodicals she likes to read http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9go38MgZ4w8 or why Russia's proximity to Alaska enhanced http://www.cbsnews.com/sections/i_video/main500251.shtml?id=4478156n her foreign policy credentials, as she suggested to Charlie Gibson. Those are the questions that killed her, not anything having to do with, say, naming the deputy prime minister of Kazakhstan. The LA Times has new dirt too http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/asection/la-na-palin6-2008nov0\ 6,0,5597211.story , related mainly to the shopping expenses, and unsurprisingly it's linked (indirectly) to Schmidt, Rick Davis, and Nicolle Wallace. Here's an interview http://www.bobandmark.com/ she did today in four parts with local radio in Alaska. She is, more than ever, a woman in demand http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081107/ap_on_el_pr/palin .

As you will see: Every detail, to include our wars with Iraq, the actors involved, and how it will end, was prophesied in writing, in the 1990's. Every aspect of which is now showing up in our evening news. It even has a link to his prophecy concerning America's Vanity.

The point is that the Mormon church really does not want to pay taxes on all that free cash and its implications of power by pissing off the IRS. They are meticulously careful to stay just barely within the parameters of the law, which they have taken to its bare limits in the Prop 8 situation. If they and the RCC were totally unfettered in their efforts it would be a slam dunk for them to block vote themselves into practically any area they wished. As it is, it appears that they succeeded anyway - which further shows that they need more restraint. And they have succeeded in Utah as well, which is why I don't see why you are clinging to this argument. Have you ever tried to buy a drink there? I did, on one of my many visits to Moab. Moab is about as far away from the headquarters and domination of the Mormon Church as it is possible to be, both physically and spiritually, but you still have to go through the pretense of filling out a form to join the private club before anyone can serve you a beer. I understand that there could be some areas in which the majority would rule, and rule harshly, attempting to impose their Puritanical beliefs on others. But my point is that this happens ANYWAY. Churches fuck with politics all the time. Why not make them pay for the privilege like everybody else.

Val Kilmer: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/11/07/val-kilmer-mulls-run-for_n_142038.html or http://tinyurl.com/5agvra To those of us who lived in Santa Fe, and could not help but run into Val from time to time, this is hilarious. Imagine someone with the intellect of Sarah Palin, but with 10X her ego and none of her people skills. One story should make my point. I was sitting at the bar of a famous Santa Fe watering hole and restaurant one afternoon, writing, and all of the waitresses from the restaurant came up and grabbed straws from behind the bar and started picking them, to see who would get the short straw. I asked one of them, What's up? She said, We just looked at the reservation list for tonight, and Val is coming in. I said, Oh, so you're drawing straws to see who gets to wait on him? She said, No, we're drawing straws to see who *has* to wait on him. He reportedly once threw a snit-fit in a restaurant and caused $5000 worth of damage when he got a phone call from his agent, who told him he'd lost a part he wanted badly to Keanu Reeves. Governor of New Mexico? Not likely, if he is counting on the Santa Fe vote. On the other hand, I'd like to see him run as Sarah Palin's VP nominee. They'd be a good team.

Hey, McBozo: she's only been vigorously defending you for two freaking months, regularly drawing crowds of 10,000, and increasing RNC contributions by many millions of $. Pull your head out. YOU lost the election. SHE did everything possible to save your booty, and frankly prevented you from being blown out by 15 points nationally. If you've a brain in your noggin, you will see that a little gratitude for her forthright effort would be nice. Yeah but she borrowed his credit card and spent way too much at the mall.

This explains a lot about his patronizing attitude toward the women he can't control on this forum. This story is not about allegations of Palin's shopping habits. It is about orchestrated trashing of a candidate, like her or not, who brought life to a crappy campaign headed for the grave. If McCain were the honorable man he claims to be, he would defend her.

[FairfieldLife] Refining Your Field Energy Broadcast
Practical Lightwork Series: 3 Powerful Techniques For Refining Your Field Energy Broadcast - by Brian Baruch Understand that each of us carry a distinct field of energy. This field impacts the portals of possibility that are available to us. The field energy works to ensure that if we remain stuck at a particular level of our development until we achieve an eternal re-calibration for ascent. This means that the same scenario/lesson keeps manifesting before us waiting for us to learn its lesson and transcend on our journey. The sages called this natural force measure for measure, today it is popularized and often misunderstood as the Law of Attraction. We resonate this field constantly, but do so in a more concentrated fashion whenever we are passionate, and so the field becomes amplified with our positive and negative emotions. Positive passionate energies (like love, joy, fulfillment, self expression, creativity and empathy) open up portals for opportunity and giving, while negative passionate energies (like fear, anger, frustration, jealousy, lust, resentment etc.) close these new portals. The trick is to inhabit a positive frequency in heart, mind and speech. It may sound daunting but here are some exceptionally useful techniques. (1.) My favourite technique is gratitude. Try to consistently become mindful of the things that bring you blessing or happiness. The day I applied this exercise I found the momentum of this technique to be so profound. I started off my day emitting gratitude and recognition for my basic pleasures and joys, my comfortable mattress, fresh morning juice, the happiness my pet fish brings, the lovely foliage outside, etc. The key is to start momentum in one's mind to build towards a cadence of grace so that spirit has open portals to do its magic. Don't be seduced by your analytical side and measure your progress, just flow in the series of expressions of grace that you transmit, and in short time you will awaken to bountiful opportunity. In tandem with the Gratitude technique, I highly recommend that you begin to be mindful of the music you listen to and ensure that it carries a frequency that is upbeat, positive and at harmony with your graceful state. I say this because music is a dynamic tool that instills passions and emotions and can be used as an effective inducer or visa-versa impediment for broadcasting the flow of light energy. This also applies to news and entertainment media that you listen to and read... these all have the ability to alter your channel of resonance and change your field. (2.) Another helpful technique is visualization; each day, in a familiar quiet and peaceful location, meditate to a place of grounded love for All and begin to visualize exactly the solution that you desire, the more details the better. In the same meditation begin to do the same for others you know who are in a similar bind, after this, visualize world harmony in way that depicts everyone prospering by following their innate gifts in a most productive and joyful fashion. It is essential to allow these techniques to change the dynamics of your field to the point where you begin to break repeated critical or destructive habits... and if applied purely, in time they will. (3.) The most powerful technique is to award purpose to your current trials. What I mean by this is to bring proportion, cohesion and singular purpose to the chaos, fear and frustration that you draw into your field of perception. This is a very profound, ancient and sacred technique... there is great wisdom embedded in it. King David wrote: It is good to offer thanks to the Divine And to sing praise to the eternal name, most high And relate your kindness in the morning And your faithfulness in the night King David is offering the key insight for drawing light and resonating the bountifulness of true love onto one's field. When things seem bright and easy (day), you can continue to draw this momentum by focusing or reciting recognition of it. But, when things begin to appear trying and unclear (night), you should instead offer up your loving trust to Source that what you are going through is part of a lesson in your ascension, and that you desire to forever internalize this lesson through love so that you will no longer need to be challenged in this particular way. Like with lovers that drift apart, one best proves their faithfulness when things are not ideal. And so, it is easy to send your love to the Divine when things flow easily, but truly profound ascension occurs when you dedicate your knowing love at times of difficulty, as it is only in this way that the love can be said to be manifested as true.

When someone like myself or Curtis proposes taxing the churches and taxing religion, the majority of the people TUNE OUT, as if someone had said something heretical, and as if they don't want to get any of God's spittle on them when he reacts to the heresy. Far from tuning out, there's a very active debate on this topic. And it's not just the religious people on one side and the secularists on the other. It isn't a cut-and- dried issue; there are a lot of ins and outs. They are just PEOPLE. The things they believe in are FICTION, unless you happen to believe in them, too. Those who believe in the fictions have set aside a block of thoughts and concepts in their minds and said, These are sacrosanct and can never be challenged. God exists. The churches must never be taxed. No, wrong. That isn't what they say. There are excellent *rational* reasons for not taxing churches, and excellent rational reasons *for* taxing them that have to do with how churches function in society. Has nothing to do with whether churches are or are not sacrosanct. The issues would be the same whether churches taught about God or taught secular humanism. From Barry's earlier post on this: Please don't claim their good works. Anyone who has ever looked at the financial records of a large religious organization knows how little of that is actually spent on good works. Far more would become available to help society if they just paid their fair share as tax revenues. Even if this were true across the board, which it isn't, contributions to churches would fall sharply if they weren't tax-deductible. Smaller churches, which play a *major* role in providing social services of all kinds, would have to cut back significantly, and the people who need them would be left in the lurch unless the gummint stepped in with the funds it received in taxes from the churches. And that's just one of the side effects. It's not just the political angle, although that's important as well. Like it or not, churches play a major and complex role in society in this country, and the revisions of that role that taxing them would require are not all automatically desirable. It's probably best not to leave it up to the folks with a hatred of churches and their membership that is no less irrational than the members' beliefs.

According to constitutionally upheld rulings and legislation because of those rulings, religious entities are kept in check as to the extent of their political influence by the IRS mandates to take away their tax exemption if they violate those laws. That is interesting. I think I'll have to look into how effective these restrictions are. It may mean that their influence is just more underground because they can't be more overt. But I appreciate you pointing this out because I don't know much about this. You may be right that this is essential to maintain the separation. I don't see how them paying taxes gives them more access to power than they have now? It would eliminate legislatively the separation between church and state and would among many other things, give them unfettered access to creating a church-run theocracy if they so wished [which they currently cannot get away with] - as major segments of the Christian Right certainly aim to do. But don't you think we have become so diverse that this fear is a bit unrealistic today? The separation of church and state has to do with avoiding a state sponsored religion above other religions. But religious people are already voting in blocks according to their own religious doctrines aren't they? Would they really gain more power than having an evangelical president supporting faith based initiatives and supporting bans on stem cell research? I'm not sure how taxing them makes them less in control with their voting power than they already are now. It's quite an effective restraint on their political influence among many other laws - for example with regard to federal funding of their endeavors to help others in terms of specifics like not allowing them to demand their religious doctrinal qualifications on their workers who are paid with those federal funds. The Mormon church also for example, takes in approx $500,000,000.00 per month and the membership is required to pay 10% monthly of their income to the church in order to maintain their 'worthiness' status to receive a certificate allowing them to participate in their temple ceremonies and get to their highest heaven. The point is that the Mormon church really does not want to pay taxes on all that free cash and its implications of power by pissing off the IRS. They are meticulously careful to stay just barely within the parameters of the law, which they have taken to its bare limits in the Prop 8 situation. If they and the RCC were totally unfettered in their efforts it would be a slam dunk for them to block vote themselves into practically any area they wished. As it is, it appears that they succeeded anyway - which further shows that they need more restraint. Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between man his god, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, thus building a wall of separation between church and state. ~~ Thomas Jefferson And I am even more angry as a legislator who must endure the threats of every religious group who thinks it has some God-granted right to control my vote on every roll call in the Senate. I am warning them today: I will fight them every step of the way if they try to dictate their moral convictions to all Americans in the name of conservatism. ~~ Barry Goldwater

There was a time when bigots like you were also against inter-racial marriage. ~Gay rights backers file 3 lawsuits challenging Prop. 8~ Reporting from San Francisco and Los Angeles After losing at the polls, gay rights supporters filed three lawsuits Wednesday asking the California Supreme Court to overturn Proposition 8, an effort the measure's supporters called an attempt to subvert the will of voters. If they want to legalize gay marriage, what they should do is bring an initiative themselves and ask the people to approve it, said Frank Schubert, co-chairman of the Proposition 8 campaign. But they don't. They go behind the people's back to the courts and try and force an agenda on the rest of society. Lawyers for same-sex couples argued that the anti-gay-marriage measure was an illegal constitutional revision -- not a more limited amendment, as backers maintained -- because it fundamentally altered the guarantee of equal protection. A constitutional revision, unlike an amendment, must be approved by the Legislature before going to voters. The state high court has twice before struck down ballot measures as illegal constitutional revisions, but those initiatives involved a broader scope of changes, said former California Supreme Court Justice Joseph Grodin, who publicly opposed Proposition 8 and was part of an earlier legal challenge to it. The court has suggested that a revision may be distinguished from an amendment by the breadth and the nature of the change, Grodin said Still, Grodin said, he believes that the challenge has legal merit, though he declined to make any predictions. Santa Clara University law professor Gerald Uelmen called the case a stretch. UC Irvine Law School Dean Erwin Chemerinsky said his research found too little case law on constitutional revisions to predict how the state high court might resolve the question. There is very little law about what can be done by amendment as opposed to revision, he said. Jennifer Pizer, a staff lawyer for Lambda Legal, said the initiative met the test of a revision because it had far-reaching magnitude. The magnitude here is that you are effectively rendering equal protection a nullity if a simple majority can so easily carve an exception into it, she said. Equal protection is supposed to prevent the targeting and subjugation of a minority group by a simple majority vote.

First, thanks for posting this Raunchy. I hope you continue to support Sarah and post every interview you find. In a hometown radio interview, Sarah says the role of the media is to report fairly and accurately so that citizens can trust them to hold government accountable. Exactly. Which is why reporting an anonymous source from the campaign serves us. She is blaming the media for reporting something so it can be discussed. Let's see, what other anonymous sources turned out to have important information for us to know...Oh I know, Deep Throat from Watergate fame. Obviously the news sources felt the source was valid enough to carry. So lets find out. Now we can interview all the non anonymous sources and see if Palin lied on this show. She is confusing the media's role with our role. They report, we decide. And we know they are biased and so does she. She blamed lobbyists for who got the first interviews. She blamed the interviewers for her dismal performance...I see a pattern of lack of self-awareness and taking responsibility. She got asked what her news sources were and she couldn't answer. She answered questions incoherently. Blaming the media for that is very lame. And in an amazing lack of self-awareness she continues to believe that she could handle running for president if there was a groundswell support from the people. Uh huh. She learned NOTHING from her experience. She denies the stories about shopping for clothes, Africa is a country, and the bathrobe greeting at the door of her hotel. It's just pettiness designed to trash her and we eat it up without question from unnamed sources. Sounds like she wants a free press to do its job rather than becoming a propaganda machine that manipulates the electorate. We don't know if it is true or not do we? Should we take the self serving word of a politician? Would this story have any legs if we didn't already hear her make many gaffs? Is she claiming that the media made this story up or that they shouldn't report on someone who worked with her telling their side of the story. I agree that I would like to grill the person who made the claim, but we can corroborate from other people in the campaign. And she didn't deny the shopping, she said that she was watching the Today's show and they were showing clothes that were not hers. She was deceptively appearing to contradict the claim without actually saying it was not true. Just as she did when she was busy flinging her own half truths in her attacks on Obama. Finally, how do you feel about her letting a morning DJ put her on a 3 way conference call blind like that? Or was she in on it and giving the false impression that she was surprised? The guy they called thanked her for calling him, but she did not call him, it was a stunt by the DJ and she went along blindly or deceptively. Shouldn't she have made such a call privately or was making the stunt work for the morning show more important than the communication? So we are going to hear Greta Softball Van Susteren interview her Monday. She earned the right by doing a gushy fluff piece on Todd in Alaska.

The point is that the Mormon church really does not want to pay taxes on all that free cash and its implications of power by pissing off the IRS. They are meticulously careful to stay just barely within the parameters of the law, which they have taken to its bare limits in the Prop 8 situation. If they and the RCC were totally unfettered in their efforts it would be a slam dunk for them to block vote themselves into practically any area they wished. As it is, it appears that they succeeded anyway - which further shows that they need more restraint. And they have succeeded in Utah as well, which is why I don't see why you are clinging to this argument. Have you ever tried to buy a drink there? I did, on one of my many visits to Moab. Moab is about as far away from the headquarters and domination of the Mormon Church as it is possible to be, both physically and spiritually, but you still have to go through the pretense of filling out a form to join the private club before anyone can serve you a beer. I understand that there could be some areas in which the majority would rule, and rule harshly, attempting to impose their Puritanical beliefs on others. But my point is that this happens ANYWAY. Churches fuck with politics all the time. Why not make them pay for the privilege like everybody else. What restraint they DO have they have as a result of, among other laws, the threats to their tax exemption. Without it they would without a doubt be far worse. I lived in Mormon Utah for 35+ years and I can attest first hand that they get away with imposing their horseshit beliefs as far as the laws allow - and stretch it at that. Getting rid of those laws and tax restraints would unlock the possibility of a direct tyrannical ecclesiastic rule. Under Brigham Young they used to kill people as part of church policy for not obeying the church priesthood. That was when Utah was for the most part isolated from the rest of the country and prior to statehood. But even after statehood and federal intervention the church got away with imposing its dictates unrestrained on non-members to whatever extent they could *legally* or covertly get away with. And they most often did. Today, the laws are more clearly defined and the church has an army of lawyers to use in getting away with their impositions on others to whatever extent they can within those laws. Their motive is to maintain and expand their 1/2 billion dollar monthly income [and power because of it] and keep their tax free status while doing it. They will back off when those exemptions are threatened like when it came to a head when they faced civil rights violations for institutionalizing racism. They had a 'convenient' revelation in 1978 that blacks all of a sudden became 'acceptable to the Lord'.

[FairfieldLife] The sign that Maitreya will be active today will be a huge spaceship from Mars
The Star form Mars Q. What clues will we get that Maitreya is really emerging? A. When Maitreya is about to step forward people will see a huge, bright, shining star, visible to everyone. That is not telling you who Maitreya is. I may not tell you what He will look like or what clothes He is going to wear! You have to recognize Maitreya for yourself, not because it is a game, but because you believe in what He is saying. It doesn't matter if you don't think He is Maitreya. If you see a man who is talking about sharing, justice and freedom for everyone, complete change in the world's relationships, then you might think: Maybe that's Maitreya? Maitreya is not the only one talking about freedom and justice, and I am not the only one saying these things. I am the only one relating it to Maitreya, but people have been talking about these ideas for years. The information about the `star' does not come from me but from a `Letter to the Editor' from a co-worker in Germany. A `woman', who was later confirmed to be Maitreya, told her about it. (See `Letters to the Editor'.) I can confirm that the `event' she spoke about is Maitreya's stepping forward into the public domain, and that the `star' will be a huge spaceship from Mars. http://shareintl.org

The government has no business addressing the religious beliefs of citizens. That's what churches are for. Allowing same-sex marriages does not mean requiring churches to perform them (although a lot of the promotion for Prop. 8 pretended it would in order to scare people into voting for it). Judy, this proposition is highly contentious and is not going away any time soon. From the looks of it, the opposition groups have already filed suits regarding this measure. So, we should stay tuned on the progress of those suits, if they have any merits. They are attempting to define the essential fabric of society, and that is the family. That starts with the man and the woman who can create children for the continuation of mankind and the American way of life. As I've already pointed out, not all straight marriages create children; and gay couples are perfectly able to *nurture* children for the continuation of [hu]mankind and the American [as well as any other] way of life] just as well as straight couples. I've already addressed this argument in an earlier post. Proposition 8 is a repudiation of the concept that marriage is solely for sexual indulgence and sensual gratification. For gays, this is essentially the basis of their union Absolute, total bullshit. Both gays and straights can and do have all the sexual indulgence they want whether they're married or not, so obviously that isn't why they want to get married. Very true. We are getting into points not directly related to the proposition. So, I'll hold off on this and address this point some other time when this point arises. Gay people fall in love just like straight people do. They want to marry to make a formal commitment to each other. Sex is no more (and no less) the basis of their unions than it is for straight people. I've also addressed this point before in my earlier post. Support for Prop. 8 is grounded in bigotry, and it fosters discrimination. Not allowing gays to marry brands them as second-class citizens--and this is exactly what Prop. 8 proponents want to accomplish. Shame on them. The fact remains that Proposition 8 passed. It may take the US Supreme Court to resolve this issue. Whatever the highest court decides, the rest of the country will have to follow. Amen?

For example, it took a combination of Constitutional amendments and legislation to give African-Americans the vote. Women got the vote via Constitutional amendment alone. What about sex ordinances - states used to have all sorts of laws proscribing sex practices. Did those go away via legislation, or were they found unconstitutional? And inter-racial marriage - that must have been found unconstitutional too, right?

The shopping continued after the convention in Minneapolis, it continued all around the country, one source said. She was still receiving shipments of custom-designed underpinnings up to her 'Saturday Night Live' performance in October. Sources said expenses were put on the personal credit cards of low-level Palin staffers and discovered when they asked party officials for reimbursement. This isn't made up, it's too detailed. It can easily be confirmed if necessary and will be if Palin continues to deny. It's completely in line with her personality. Plus today it was hinted that they have tapes of palin's prep with mccain staffers which can be used if necessary to prove some of the accusations regarding her lack of basic knowledge.

In the Bay Area, AAR has a good following but just needs a more powerful station. Maybe Clear Channel will move it to another one of their more powerful stations. In Portland they boosted the power of that station but the one it's on here may be restricted from increasing power output. The local Rush outlet is low power at 5kw too but it is owned by another company, Citadel which also owns KGO radio (not KGO TV which is still owned by Disney). Clear Channel owns KNEW which runs right wing drek but it too may have restrictions for power increase. Prior to Clear Channel owning KNEW it was CNET radio but was too expensive for CNET.com to run but what a treat to have geek radio in the Bay Area. I even used to call into some of the talk shows.

Why bother with the radio? Why not just listen through your computer? 1) I can't listen to the KKGN (the local AAR station) stream on Linux. They originally supported it but it is broken now and I even sent them an email with no response. The Air America Radio web site stream works fine on Linux as does NovaM's. KKGN has some local programming that is interesting too. Some of this is because KKGN has some streams that need copy protection so they need to stream via players that can handle that. Looks like those only exist for Windows and Mac. Ed Schultz follows Thom Hartmann and his network sells it's podcasts so they want the stream copy protected. If you want to record an occasional Coast To Coast AM at night you'll also run into the same problem as they sell the podcast. 2) Radio is sometime more handy plus a stronger station means I will be able to listen better in my car and when I go on my walk. With the latter I have to keep adjusting the direction of my Walkman to keep the station from fading away. I'm not the only one who thinks they should have a stronger signal in the Bay Area.

[FairfieldLife] Ayers's side
Ayers's side Bill Ayers writes of his surreal year in In These Times He notes, with mixed emotions, that this campaign was probably the last to even attempt to refight the battles of the '60s. But Ayers can't let them go. Hitting back at McCain, he calls the Republican nominee's bombing runs as a Navy pilot immoral. Ayers writes: The '60s - as myth and symbol - is much abused: the downfall of civilization in one account, a time of defeat and humiliation in a second, and a perfect moment of righteous opposition, peace and love in a third. The idea that the 2008 election may be the last time in American political life that the '60s plays any role whatsoever is a mixed blessing. On the one hand, let's get over the nostalgia and move on. On the other, the lessons we might have learned from the black freedom movement and from the resistance against the Vietnam War have never been learned. To achieve this would require that we face history fully and honestly, something this nation has never done. The war in Vietnam was an illegal invasion and occupation, much of it conducted as a war of terror against the civilian population. The U.S. military killed millions of Vietnamese in air raids - like the one conducted by McCain - and entire areas of the country were designated free-fire zones, where American pilots indiscriminately dropped surplus ordinance - an immoral enterprise by any measure.

[FairfieldLife] HRH Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck
This is interesting. Found it on the Web site for the coronation of the hunky dude in the photo wearing the raven crown. The lingo sounds very familiar. Striking that his coronation and Obama's election were only two days apart, too. EPILOGUE: The Dawn of the Great Eastern Sun The wisdom texts speak of the return of a king who will lead his enlightened kingdom into a new age of goodness and balance. Sometimes known as Shambhala, sometimes as Sharchen Nyima, Land of the Great Eastern Sun, this kingdom is believed to be the herald of a coming world order where peace, justice and equality will reign. It is described by some as the beginning of an age of harmony, balance and renewal for a world scourged by the destructive ways of men. Perhaps it is no mere coincidence that the name of this destined king is Khesar or, as his name is sometimes spelled, Gesar. No mere coincidence too that Bhutan has been compared to this hidden kingdom. And, perhaps, no mere coincidence that barely a year into his reign, our young king has begun articulating a vision of a depth and breadth worthy of his name. Perhaps we are only just beginning to glimpse the universal vision foretold for Shambhala and its king. Some people would probably consider this an exercise in grandiosity. There may be those who say we are reaching far too much into myth. But perhaps, that's beside the point. Because many of our spiritual teachers and elders regard the prophesied kingdom of Shambhala not as an external place but as the ground of wakefulness and the clarity that is within the reach of all who seek it. The Shambhala teachings are founded on the premise that there is basic human wisdom that can help solve the world's problems, wrote the eminent Shambhala scholar and teacher Chogyam Trungpa Rimpoche. From that point of view, it is not important to determine whether the kingdom of Shambhala is fact or fiction. Instead we should appreciate and emulate the ideal of an enlightened society that it represents. To that we would add that the light of the Great Eastern Sun may not necessarily be a literal one, but the growing wisdom of an enlightened son http://www.bhutan2008.bt/en/node/120
