[FairfieldLife] Re: Great Olbermann video today
There's a difference. O'Reilly is mocked because he invites it by making a mockery of himself. Judy is mocked by intellectual inferiors because they can't rebut her arguments. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, shempmcgurk [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, authfriend jstein@ wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, TurquoiseB no_reply@ wrote: --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, Rick Archer groups@ wrote: http://www.alternet.org/ Wow. Edward R. Murrow would be proud. Who is this guy? Name is Keith Olbermann. Does he actually have a forum on broadcast TV? (You have to remember that I live in France and don't get American TV unless it's been put on the Web or made available for illicit download.) He has a one-hour news program on the cable channel MSNBC, of which about a third to a half is pure fluff, and the rest very hard-hitting journalism. I believe the program (called Countdown) is MSNBC's highest- rated prime-time program (but that's not saying much). He has a blog on MSNBC's Web site: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6210240 He was originally a sportscaster (and still has a show a couple of times a week on ESPN, I think). Then he had a news show during the Lewinsky mess but quit in disgust at having to do all Lewinsky, all the time. Went back to sportscasting, then eventually got the Countdown show, which started out as a primarily humorous news program (he's a very witty chap) and slowly morphed into a more serious show, and lately into one of the very few programs to be consistently sharply critical of the Bush administration. He's only recently started doing these commentaries. The first one made a huge splash among progressives, and he's been doing them regularly ever since. Most of the transcripts are linked to from his blog page. The show is on weeknights at 8 p.m. EST and is rebroadcast at midnight. He really has it in for Bill O'Reilly, who he will mock at every opportunity. It's actually very amusing...kinda like the way we like to mock Judy Stein every chance we get.

[FairfieldLife] Global Good News! JGD!
9/11: FIVE YEARS ON By RALPH PETERS September 11, 2006 -- THE biggest story since 9/11 is that there hasn't been an other 9/11. According to our hysterical media culture, everything's always going wrong. The truth is that we've gotten the big things right. On this fifth anniversary of the cold-blooded murder of thousands of Americans by Islamist fanatics, it's tempting to settle for grand rhetoric honoring our dead and damning our enemies. But the greatest tribute to those lost on that September morning is what we've since achieved. In this vile political season, with those on the left suggesting that our president's a worse threat to civilization than Islamist terror, the rest of us should just review what's happened - and what hasn't: Islamist fanatics have not been able to stage a single additional attack on our homeland. For all its growing pains, our homeland- security effort worked. In this long war with religion-poisoned madmen, the most important proof of success is what doesn't happen - and we haven't been struck again. Wail as loudly as they can, the president's critics can't change that self-evident truth. Eventually, some terrorists will get through. That's just the law of averages. But we've enjoyed five golden years of safety and prosperity, thanks to our men and women in uniform and those who serve at all levels of government. Al Qaeda is badly crippled. While the terror organization and its affiliates remain a deadly threat, al Qaeda is no longer the powerful, unchallenged outfit it was in the years of Clinton-era cowardice. Instead of holding court, Osama bin Laden's a fugitive. Almost all of his deputies are dead or imprisoned. The rest are hunted men. And yes, we'll get Osama. Those who whine that we haven't offer no specific solutions themselves - and they'd like us to forget how long it took to apprehend criminals such as the Unabomber here at home. Al Qaeda can still kill, but its power has been reduced by an order of magnitude. Terrorists no longer operate in freedom. Even Europeans have begun to awaken to the nature of Islamist fanaticism. One terror plot after another has been foiled. Those that succeeded proved counterproductive, mobilizing anti-terrorist sentiment. The world hasn't fully come to grips with the threat, but the progress has been remarkable. The terrorists are now on the defensive. Our enemies fear our military again. Despite tragic mistakes in Iraq, we've already accomplished one crucial mission neglected for a generation: We've resurrected the reputation of the American soldier. After our maddening retreats from Beirut and Mogadishu, and the Clinton administration's unwillingness to retaliate meaningfully after terrorist attacks, Islamist extremists concluded - and bragged - that Americans were cowards who wouldn't fight and hid behind technology. Well, Iraq proved that our troops don't run, but fight more fiercely than any other soldiers on earth. Now it's the terrorists who rely on stand-off weapons - roadside bombs. They're terrified of taking on our forces in combat. The importance of regaining our street cred can't be stressed enough. Iraq has become al Qaeda's Vietnam. No end of lies have been broadcast about our liberation of Iraq and Afghanistan creating more terrorists. The terrorists were already there, recruited during the decades we looked away. Our arrival on their turf just brought them out of the woodwork. As for Iraq, Osama Co. realized full well how high we'd raised the stakes. They had to fight to prevent the emergence of a Middle Eastern democracy. As a result, they've thrown in their reserves - who've been slaughtered by our soldiers and Marines. The media obsesses on the price of this fight for us, but the terrorists have been forced to pay a terrible cost in trained fighters - while alienating fellow Muslims with their tactics. Pundits will argue forever over whether deposing Saddam was a diversion from the War on Terror, but the proof of its relevance - even if unexpected - is the unaffordable cost we've forced on al Qaeda. We've achieved new levels of domestic security without compromising civil liberties. Frisking granny at the airport may be silly, but (despite the lies of the Left) Americans continue to live in unprecedented freedom. The Patriot Act and other measures worked - without harming the rights of a single law-abiding citizen. The only people who lost out were the terrorists and their supporters. We should be applauding the feds, not running them down. America is much stronger today than we were five years ago. We have new homeland-security structures up and running, improved intelligence agencies - and the most experienced military in the world. The dishonest nature of domestic politics and the media's irresponsibility obscure the fact that no one - not even the terrorists - now believes that our enemies can win a global victory. The terrorists

[FairfieldLife] Re: My Dome Rejection Second Letter to Hagelin's Office
This woman is nuts if she thinks these emotionally distraught letters will get her into the dome. If anything, they are good reason to keep her out. --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, dhamiltony2k5 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 2nd Letter To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dear John, I am writing to you again just in case you have not had a chance to read my first letter, dated August 2, 2006, regarding my dome rejection. I WOULD LIKE TO BE ACCEPTED FOR THE DOME!!! I honestly expressed My Highest Truth in that letter and I would truly appreciate a response, any response, especially whether you received it or not, and what Maharishi wants me to do. PLEASE READ MY FIRST LETTER TO MAHARISHI. I know most people working for Maharishi may be afraid to let him know what some of his governors have done to get in the dome, but I know you have INTEGRITY and will tell him the truth. Those governors who do not know Maharishi's intentions about them visiting other saints or using other self improvement techniques, should be told by Maharishi on the daily phone calls to the course, what he really expects, regarding this very important issue Just because they were not asked if they do other things, many governors have justified that it's o.k with Maharishi, and that they would not be in the dome unless he wanted them there. They feel those who are not there, somehow could be, if THEY REALLY WANTED IT. Everyone has to start being accountable for their actions, including the MOVEMENT REPRESENTASTIVES! I feel that THE RULES OF DOME ACCEPTANCE SHOULD APPY TO EVERYONE! A few should not be rejected if the many are doing the same things Everyone should be asked the same questions... whether they visit the saints! Not just those who are on some administrative black list. This is just common sense. This is also how many people, that I have talked to, feel avout it. Someone actually said to me the other night: Why do want to spoil it for the rest of us? Why didn't you just keep quiet. So many people visit saints in India or other cities around the U.S. and the world. I guess they feel that if they don't do it in Fairfield then it's o.k. No one will catch me, seems to be the theme. PLEASE DO NOT GET ME WRONG I do not feel that visiting the saints is in ANY WAY WRONG... To the contrary it is A GREAT GIFT to those who have the grace to receive it. I feel anyone who wishes to visit the saints should be encouraged to do so. As it is stated in the VEDAS KEEP THE COMPANY OF THE SAINTS. A lot of people over the years have felt THE MOVEMENT REPRESENTATIVES have lied to them. They somehoe feel that Maharishi doesn't say the things they hear from course officials. MAHARISHI PLEASE ADDRESS THIS POINT!! EVERYONE NEEDS TO HEAR IT FROM YOU WHAT YOU REALLY EXPECT! My first letter to you has somehow made it on the internet on the Fairfield Life site. I hope in some way this is helpful to others who have also not compromised their integrity, just to get their Dome Badge. John, I would like to be accepted for the dome, having told the TRUTH about my life. I could have very easily lied when I was questioned but I chose to be completely HONEST and NOT HIDE ANYTHING ABOUT MY SPIRITUAL LIFE. Please respond to me, Shiva Ma First Letter from ShivaMa: FWD:From Shiva Ma Ryan, My Dome Rejection Please share this letter I wrote to John Hagelin with anyone you think may benefit from it. All Love, Shiva Ma My Dome rejection Shiva Ma Ryan to John Hagelin Aug 2 (5 days ago) Dear John, I was told to e-mail you if I had any trouble getting accepted at the dome. Hence this letter to you, because I have been faced with one of the most difficult choices of my life. John will you PLEASE share this letter with Maharishi, as I want Him to know THE REAL TRUTH about what has happened in Fairfield. Please read everything I have written in this e-mail John, I have tried to be as honest and as TRUTHFUL as I can. I also have suggestions at the end of this e-mail, that may benefit EVERYONE! When I applied for the course, I was told I would need more time to be processed. I knew I probably would not get an immediate acceptance, because a few years ago I applied and was asked if I practiced any techniques other than Maharishi's. I went to India with a GREAT saint from Asam, India, Shree Maa, in 1999, and I told the man questioning me I had experienced EVERYTHING that India had to offer, and that what I learned in private, I kept private. I had asked the question to over 600 people that I initiated, back in the seventies: Everything we learn in private, we keep private. Do you agree? This answer seemed the most truthful and appropriate to me, yet I was not accepted then for the dome. This past Saturday July
