[FairfieldLife] Federal Bureau of Idiocy
The subject line actually comes from Huffington Post, and links to this article in Wired: http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/09/fbi-muslims-radical/ http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/09/fbi-muslims-radical/ FBI Teaches Agents: `Mainstream' Muslims Are `Violent, Radical' The FBI is teaching its counterterrorism agents that main stream [sic] American Muslims are likely to be terrorist sympathizers; that the Prophet Mohammed was a cult leader; and that the Islamic practice of giving charity is no more than a funding mechanism for combat. At the Bureau's training ground in Quantico, Virginia, agents are shown a chart contending that the more devout a Muslim, the more likely he is to be violent. Those destructive tendencies cannot be reversed, an FBI instructional presentation adds: Any war against non-believers is justified under Muslim law; a moderating process cannot happen if the Koran continues to be regarded as the unalterable word of Allah. These are excerpts from dozens of pages of recent FBI training material on Islam that Danger Room has acquired. In them, the Constitutionally protected religious faith of millions of Americans is portrayed as an indicator of terrorist activity. There may not be a `radical' threat as much as it is simply a normal assertion of the orthodox ideology, one FBI presentation notes. The strategic themes animating these Islamic values are not fringe; they are main stream. The FBI isn't just treading on thin legal ice by portraying ordinary, observant Americans as terrorists-in-waiting, former counterterrorism agents say. It's also playing into al-Qaida's hands. Focusing on the religious behavior of American citizens instead of proven indicators of criminal activity like stockpiling guns or using shady financing makes it more likely that the FBI will miss the real warning signs of terrorism. And depicting Islam as inseparable from political violence is exactly the narrative al-Qaida spins as is the related idea that America and Islam are necessarily in conflict. That's why FBI whistleblowers provided Danger Room with these materials. Over the past few years, American Muslim civil rights groups have raised alarm about increased FBI and police presence in Islamic community centers and mosques http://motherjones.com/politics/2011/08/fbi-terrorist-informants , fearing that their lawful behavior is being targeted under the broad brush of counterterrorism. The documents may help explain the heavy scrutiny. They certainly aren't the first time the FBI has portrayed Muslims in a negative light during Bureau training sessions. As Danger Room reported in July, the FBI's Training Division has included anti-Islam books, and materials that claim Islam transforms [a] country's culture into 7th-century Arabian ways http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2011/07/fbi-islam-101-guide/ . When Danger Room confronted the FBI with that material, an official statement issued to us claimed, The presentation in question was a rudimentary version used for a limited time that has since been replaced. But these documents aren't relics from an earlier era. One of these briefings, titled Strategic Themes and Drivers in Islamic Law http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/dangerroom/2011/09/fbi_islamic_law.pd\ f , took place on March 21. The Islam briefings are elective, not mandatory. A disclaimer accompanied the presentation stating that the views expressed are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of the U.S. government, FBI spokesman Christopher Allen tells Danger Room. The training materials in question were delivered as Stage Two training to counterterrorism-designated agents, Allen adds. This training was largely derived from a variety of open source publications and includes the opinion of the analyst that developed the lesson block. Not all counterterrorism veterans consider the briefings so benign. Teaching counterterrorism operatives about obscure aspects of Islam, says Robert McFadden, who recently retired as one of the Navy Criminal Investigative Service's al-Qaida-hunters, without context, without objectivity, and without covering other non-religious drivers of dangerous behavior is no way to stop actual terrorists. Still, at Quantico, the alleged connection between Islam and violence isn't just stipulated. It's literally graphed. [http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/dangerroom/2011/09/fbi_islam_graph_1.\ jpg] An FBI presentation titled Militancy Considerations http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/dangerroom/2011/09/fbi_militancy_cons\ iderations.pdf measures the relationship between piety and violence among the texts of the three Abrahamic faiths. As time goes on, the followers of the Torah and the Bible move from violent to non-violent. Not so for devotees of the Koran, whose moderating process has not happened. The line representing violent behavior from devout Muslims flatlines and continues outward, from 610

[FairfieldLife] What FFL really needs...
...is a laugh track. You know, that canned laughter that they used to insert into TV sitcoms. The outbursts of cleared pre-recorded laughter never really gave the impression that the show was being filmed in front of a live audience, because even an idiot could tell it was canned. It always seemed to me more designed to tell the audience what parts of the show were supposed to be funny (even if they weren't), and thus when they should laugh at home. It was like remedial education for the laugh-impaired. I always wanted to take a really terrible episode of one of those shows and re-edit it, putting the laugh tracks in completely different places. Instead of inserting them after the punchline of a bad joke, I'd throw them in when there was an outbreak of bad acting. Or really lame dialogue. Or in completely inappropriate moments, as in this clip from Pulp Fiction: http://www.dula.tv/watch.php?file=pulp-fiction-with-a-laugh-track.flv %20http://www.dula.tv/watch.php?file=pulp-fiction-with-a-laugh-track.fl\ v That's what FFL needs in my opinion, a laugh track. It's gotten so serious around here lately, what with all the politics and the ad hominem and the posturing and the self defensiveness. I think adding a laugh track would be just the ticket. As I imagine it, the outbursts of canned laughter would occur at random intervals. You'd be in the middle of reading some heavy conspiracy theory or political screed, and suddenly there would be the sound of laughter, as if some astral audience reading over your shoulder had just cracked up. Or you'd be reading someone's oh-so-earnest attempt to sell you a right belief of fix one of your wrong ones, and again the laugh track would go off. According to my theory, the random outbursts of laughter would remind the readers that it was OK *to* laugh at random outbursts of seriousness, and at themselves for ever taking them seriously. As a result, goes my theory, there would be fewer serious replies, as fewer people got their buttons all pushed. How 'bout it, Bhairitu, or the other programmers here? Can you whip up an app that lives in the background as you're reading or writing to FFL that randomly laughs at you from time to time? I think it would be a useful utility. :-)

It's gotten so serious around here lately, what with all the politics and the ad hominem and the posturing and the self defensiveness. I think adding a laugh track would be just the ticket. As I imagine it, the outbursts of canned laughter would occur at random intervals. You'd be in the middle of reading some heavy conspiracy theory or political screed, and suddenly there would be the sound of laughter, as if some astral audience reading over your shoulder had just cracked up. Or you'd be reading someone's oh-so-earnest attempt to sell you a right belief of fix one of your wrong ones, and again the laugh track would go off. According to my theory, the random outbursts of laughter would remind the readers that it was OK *to* laugh at random outbursts of seriousness, and at themselves for ever taking them seriously. As a result, goes my theory, there would be fewer serious replies, as fewer people got their buttons all pushed. How 'bout it, Bhairitu, or the other programmers here? Can you whip up an app that lives in the background as you're reading or writing to FFL that randomly laughs at you from time to time? I think it would be a useful utility. :-) FFL is *just* a chat group and hardly worth such efforts. It's really *not* that important in my daily life. It's more like a corner bar you drop into now and then or a water cooler at a very *freaky* company. I only did the Post Count utility because Thunderbird unlike LookOut! (Microsoft insider name for Outlook) couldn't give me a count of my posts though Thunderbird NOW has that capability. It started as a C utility and I rewrote it in PHP because of PHP has a class to handle mailbox files and headers (latter all that is needed for a post count). Fact is, I don't need a laugh track because I am usually laughing as I post something to FFL. ;-) BUT, I've always thought *this* should be the theme song for FFL: :-D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5znh58WITU8 Nice song. How about this one as a theme song for FFL, put some nabby crop circles in the video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TrZFxhrPUI

Main Street, Fairfield, IA Featuring guest speaker: DIANE WILSON . Award-Winning Environmental Activist and CodePink Co-founder . Two-time Bioneers Speaker . Featured in 2008 documentary Texas Gold A colorful and celebrated activist, Diane Wilson is a powerful advocate of corporate responsibility. She will share stories about her remarkable efforts in getting corporations to change their environmental practices. Wilson was a primary influence in persuading two multinational chemical companies to sign zero-discharge agreements. She has advocated for a wide range of other environmental and human rights causes including Bhopal victims, injured workers in the petrochemical and oil industries, and victims of the Deep Water Horizon oil spill. Wilson follows a path of Gandhi-like nonviolent protest. Her actions, she says, come from the heart, using a different kind of energy that industry doesn't know how to control. JFAN President Jim Rubis will also provide an update of JFAN activities. A question and answer forum will follow at the conclusion of the meeting. Admission is free.

And the apparent benefits don't stop there: according to a pilot study just published in the US journal Military Medicine, veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars showed a 50 per cent reduction in their symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder after eight weeks of TM.

This is just your usual Marxist b.s. Muslims hate us because we are kaffaar, plural of kaafir (non-believer). By definition all of us are inhabitants of Dar al-Harb, the territory or abode of jihad. There are only two territories in Islam - Dar al-Islam (region of Islam) and Dar al-Harb (region outside of Islam). There are only two kinds of people in Islam, muslims and kaffaar.

Yagyas include the recitations of various mantras and performance of symbolic rites, such the burning of incense and ghee. Yagyas are traditionally performed by pandits. But, in general terms, the TM Sidhi Program and the regular TM practice can be considered as forms of yagyas. As such, the environment and the meditator gain the support of nature, such as the Maharishi Effect. JR Denise, here's another way of looking at Vedic Engineering. There's an ancient tradition in many cultures, including that of the Vedas, that at its finest levels, the universe is structured of vibrations. In that context, yagyas can be understood as the articulation of specific sounds/vibrations that affect the mechanics of the universe at those very fine levels and bring about specific results on the gross levels. Some people suspect that the notion of appealing to personified deities was a metaphorical way of describing this extremely abstract process to people who didn't have the deep meditative experience to grasp it experientially (as, presumably, the ancient sages who formulated it did). It's really a matter of personal preference which way one thinks about this. The idea of personified deities doing one's bidding appeals to some; the more naturalistic abstractions appeal to others. MMY appeared to enjoy both. Some TMers are convinced that he came up with the abstractions merely to disguise the Hindu roots of the practices. Others think the abstractions may have been more real to him experientially than the deities, but that his Hindu background gave him a religious context for the abstractions that he found satisfying. You can't really worship an abstract process, after all, and worship, as an experience of the heart, supplies a kind of fulfillment to many people that dry intellectual abstractions do not.

[FairfieldLife] Movie review of a great scifi film
I read the other day that Americans prefer event driven movies as compared to character studies. Europeans prefer character studies which may be why I often prefer European films over American films. I also after reading some reviews and looking at the ratings decided to go see Contagion. Steven Soderbergh does character studies so in spite of the fact this is an apocalyptic scifi thriller it isn't an amusement park ride. The matinée I attended had all of 5 other people and yes I got the choice seat in the house, in this case right below the digital projector's booth because in this particular auditorium the screen fills the wall and any closes might give you whiplash. The film is about an outbreak of a deadly disease after an American woman, played by Gwyneth Paltrow, returns from a business trip sick. It follows the breakdown of society as disease spreads and the CDC races to find a vaccine. Jude Law plays a conspiracy theorist blogger based in San Francisco. Some online conspiracy sites think the film promotes vaccine use but many seeing the film would want to order up some of the survival supplies that sponsor their shows. Laurence Fishburne plays a CDC doctor. And I almost didn't recognize Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad) in his role. The societal breakdown was so well done I wonder if they read the same diary I read online by a person who went through the breakdown in Argentina. Soderbergh is a big fan of digital film making and uses Red cameras. On the extras to Che he states that he didn't think he needed to shoot in 4K and 2K was just fine (2K is about the same as 1080p HD and 4K has 4x the resolution). Well he shot this in 4K and 5K with Red cameras and it looks great. This is very much a thinking person's movie: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1598778/ And his next film Haywire due in January was previewed and looks good: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1506999/

[FairfieldLife] Did history change course during WWII?
Let's briefly examine the idea that history changed course at the bombing of the Monte Cassino Monastery during WWII. First, it wasn't completely destroyed; perhaps symbolic of the ongoing strength of the Roman Church and the Papacy (although severely discredited in recent decades). Sorry,...damaged but not out unfortunately. ... Second, there may be some evidence that St. Padre Pio used his supernatural powers to divert more bombing runs away from the Monastery (I'll try to get some citations on this). Some media hypsters say that the people who fought in WWII were the Great Generation and the battle lines were clearly drawn between good and evil (unlike Vietnam). So something may have occurred during or shortly after WWII to thoroughly change the course of history. Rather than Monte Cassino, I point to July 2, 1947, the Roswell Incident, in which some aliens landed at the Foster Ranch near Corona, NM (close to the Roswell base). The aliens using their advanced technology created a time warp in which relative time actually stopped, and we are actually stuck in July 2, 1947. Everything that transpired after that is a delusional figment of the Aliens' imagination. http://www.startlingart.com/Viewer.asp?ImageSource=fine_artFileName=misguidedmissle

Shia and Sunni have killed each other since the beginning of their Din (deen). And you're just so right about it. I get all my secret knowledge from Vag's website Buddhist Tantra, Dzogchen upadesha, Hindoo mantras, anti-Islam and even anti-anti. That's the only way I know how to impress people. It was, after all, solely thanks to Vag that I found out he went back in time to hurl anal-fistula mantras at Adi-Shankara as punishment for attacking the Buddhists.

In other words it is not so chaotic and destructive to us that it affects our lives. Certainly not now, for us, perhaps millions or billions of years hence there is a small potential that the Earth could be ripped away from the Sun. But that is certainly not a here and now possibility. More likely something small like an asteroid will crash into the Earth as has happened in the past, but could cause incredible havoc. There is lots of gas in galaxies, that could cause a problem when gases collide. If there is life elsewhere, it might be in a pair of colliding galaxies. That might be interesting for those involved. Good point about being aligned with reality has nothing to do with controlling anything. The more I am aligned, the less I control, and everything works out perfectly. Often times I will have a thought and it will materialize right in front of me, or in a relatively short time. It is this confidence which builds on itself, driving me away from the idea that I am limited and thus must exert my limited control, instead relying on the unfathomable foundation of life to carry out my fulfillment in whatever way it chooses to do so.:-) Anxiety kind of drops away, one does not think so much of past and future, what comes is what one needs at the moment. Kind of hard to describe this confidence, it is as if it is not necessary to anticipate in order to live. Yes, exactly -- anxiety kind of drops away, and the greater the desire, the greater the reward. This then begins to create a cycle of fearless activity, bringing about a quietly successful life.
