Reluctance: Re: [FairfieldLife] FOI Documents Reveal Military Will Pursue Internet As Enemy Territory

2006-02-09 Thread Hagen J. Holtz





To control information is the best way of getting 
a society uniformed. Uniformation is the beginning of the end of life. It just 
destroys diversity, which is the basis of unity and vice versa. The "bad" 
is the regulating reflection and force of what is not good enough on 
the other end. It has no substance. With formation of a big TM group of 
10,000 people, organized from the basis of all meditators without seeing 
a necessity for authorisation through MMy or his "ministers" and with 
least ideology, could lead to a liberating situation, where such 
"illuminative" forces would not have a real chance. This is my deepest 
conviction.
 
It is fascinating to see how organized this new 
wave of fascism is trying to get hold of the world.

Regardless of what I may think of the idea, the democratization of 
Iraq has been a very long-term neocon goal. You can read about it 
from nearly 10 years ago on the newamericancentury.org website.

It was either on the SCI tapes or an advanced lecture tape. someone 
asked what he was, householder or recluse, and he said slowly, with 
evident surprise, that he must be a householder.

Shemp knows Al Gore Sr. was neither a segregationist
nor a racist.  It's been explained to him in detail
and very well documented.

Yes, a lot of people actually *believed* the
extraordinary exaggerations and distortions 
spread by the right wing about the funeral.

Not so incredible once you know the way this woman thinks.

She supports old racist and segregationists like Al Gore Sr. who 
voted against the Civil Rights Act because she'll defend Democrats

Wellstone.

> Remember the

Right.  As you noted, it was right before the
election. Wellstone had been running for reelection,
you see.  Wellstone was an exceptionally popular
crusading senator in Minnesota and among progressives.
"We will win" was an expression of hope that his
legacy would be carried on.  Such expressions are
quite common at funerals.

> And the 
> booing of republicans that attended the funeral. Such  Class!

This was *wildly* exaggerated by the right wing.
There were only a few people who booed Trent Lott.
The right wing pretended it had been the whole
audience.

I wonder how many would have booed had it been the
funeral of a wildly popular Republican senator who
had been tragically killed just before running for
reelection, and former president Clinton had walked
in.

What deprivations, specifically?


As for callousness and indifference I suggest it is you who shows 
callousness to those in the world who truly suffer from genuine gut-
wrenching poverty who could benefit from implementing in their own 
country the social/economic make-up of the country where poverty has 
been eliminated.

Dude, drink the Kool-aid!

This story that the US was always planning to foment democracy in 
the Middle East only surfaced after the Bush crowd was caught lying 
about the original justification for their mass killing; WMDs.

Not only has the violent external imposition of democracy NEVER 
worked before, it's a truly pathetic substitution for coherent 
diplomacy, coupled with enforced economic sanctions. 

Without fail, every time the US has meddled underhandedly in the 
political affairs of another country, it has backfired on us. As it 
has now again. I just read the responses of Sens. McCain and Biden 
on the situation in Iraq. A complete failure.

Your demonizing of the Islamic world is interesting- another piece 
of revisionist propaganda by the Bush machine. As I said earlier, 
when you cage people and poke sharp sticks at them, as we have done 
to Iraq, then when they lash out in anger, it is easy to use that as 
justification for your initial wrong actions. Police use this 
occasionally to justify killing someone. 

There are adherents in the Islamic world who are every bit as 
radical as the Christian fundamentalists. Ironically they are now 
finding fertile ground for violently forwarding their agenda- 
something that was not possible before we declared war on them, at 
least not in a unified way. 

Just as we are now using the violent response to our Sin as further 
justification to escalate our warring, so are the Islamic radicals 
using our warring as justification for their continued violent 
response against us.

And I totally understand that what the US is doing militarily is 
seen as an intelligent response from the standpoint of the ignorance 
of waking state consciousness. Unfortunately, long term it will only 
culture further violence against the US, and is doomed to failure 
and further suffering. Very stupid policy.

You might be interested to know that I never saw the head cook

root beer tank, which might level the karmic playing field, come to

You're referring to MMY? When did he make that claim? I once heard that he
told Jerry that had he realized, as he now did, that he would have gotten
enlightened whether or not he had gotten married, that he would have. But I
never heard him say he's a householder. I've heard him say many times that
he's a monk.

+++  Interesting how people are picking on eggs.
 I recall hearing that the hysteria concerning eggs was the result
of a study sponsored by the cereal institute- typical big business bs.
 I average about a dozen a week and don't have amnesia.

The leadership of the USA consciously chose to kill to prempt greater
killing in the future. Trying to accomplish the near impossible in the
middle east, a functioning representative democracy. I think that this
was seem as the 'least evil' solution to an intractable problem. As
far as perpetuating violence: there was and is plenty to go around.
The US goal is to diminish it. The Islamofascist goals are to topple
major economies and political systems thru violence and terror. If you
can't turn the killer into a peace lover, do you kill him or let him
continue to kill?

IF you define poverty as not having enough calaries available every 
day, then yes, MOST Americans don't live in poverty. However, man 
does not live by soda alone.

I think they went bust because we always stole their great root beer
mugs from the tray (attached to the door) after the meal.

I sometimes listen to myself snore. Am I asleep or awake, or does the

Why would you suspect a claim was false, given that you believed

Not really, but I know that the way you define poverty is so far out of the 
mainstream that it has little meaning. I don't think a single social scientist 
or 
politician would agree with your premise that poverty  has been eliminated in 
this country. I also think that your thinking is callous and shows indifference 
to 
the deprivations  suffered by many in the US today.

Uh, A&W was pretty much your standard burger and soft drink joint -- 
not very popular anymore, as drive-ins (where the waiter comes to your

I think Ms. Sunshine may have been referring to the shattering effect on some 
True Believers of the revelation that MMY may at one time have eaten some 
fast food. The True Believer is of course a mythical beast who is not 
represented on this forum at all, as far as I am aware, but it nonetheless has 
many uses for those who like to tilt at windmills. I think on this occasion, 
however, Ms. Sunshine was being humorous.

While I agree with your premise, some might differ about the homeless.
Sleeping in a doorway and eating out of garbage bins is not too much
different in LA, Rio, Manila or Delhi. Except in the US, usually a
meal a day or so is available at a shelter. And emergency rooms ae
maybe available for medical emergencies.

Not to say that living at "poverty level" in the US is comfortable  or
easy. But it usually means a roof, regular meals, indoor plumbing and
daily bathing, color TV, music access, library access, internet
access, functional, even stylish clothes, and even a car -- or at
least public transportation usually is available. And assisted medical
care, free education for kids.

"Poverty level" in a developing country often means little or none of
the above.

> This is an
> incredible success story and should be acknowledged.

And real poverty has been reduced, and general standards of living
have risen, in India, China and elsewhere, since markets were reformed
and opened in the 80's.

While I agree with your premise, some might differ about the homeless.
Sleeping in a doorway and eating out of garbage bins is not too much
different in LA, Rio, Manila or Delhi. Except in the US, usually a
meal a day or so is available at a shelter. And emergency rooms ae
maybe available for medical emergencies. 

Not to say that living at "poverty level" in the US is comfortable  or
easy. But it usually means a roof, regular meals, indoor plumbing and
daily bathing, color TV, music access, library access, internet
access, functional, even stylish clothes, and even a car -- or at
least public transportation usually is available. And assisted medical
care, fee education for kids.  

"Poverty level" in a developing country often means little or none of
the above.

And real poverty has been reduced, and general standards of living
have risen, in India, China and elsewhere, since markets were reformed
and opened in the 80's.

You mean like the transformation George Wallace undertook after he 
was governor for several terms and ended up garnering more than 90% 
of the African-American vote?

Will you also acknowledge Wallace as transformed, too, and that he 
turned into a good Democrat, too?

I don't watch much news -- Fox or otherwise -- as I find it depressing.

But what's more depressing is people who can't think for themselves.  
Poverty -- real poverty -- has been eliminated in the USA.  This is an 
incredible success story and should be acknowledged.  NOT to do so 
does incredible damage to the real poor of the world because if those 
of us living in the country where this success has taken place DENY 
it, how can those that need to know of the solution (and their 
political leaders) possibly adopt this solution if we living with the 
solution say it isn't so?

So, I know it's cool to be politically correct and all your liberal 
friends will keep you in their clique when you tow the party line but 
think a little of the damage you can do to the real poor of the world 
before you take the stands that you do.

[FairfieldLife] FOI Documents Reveal Military Will Pursue Internet As Enemy Territory

2006-02-09 Thread Dharma Mitra
This message is available online at
http://www.WantToKnow.info/060205usmilitarycontrolinternet


"From influencing public opinion through new media to designing
'computer network attack' weapons, the US military is learning to fight
an electronic war. 'Strategy should be based on the premise that the
Department [of Defense] will 'fight the net' as it would an enemy
weapons system.' The document recommends that the United States should
seek the ability to 'provide maximum control of the entire
electromagnetic spectrum'. US forces should be able to 'disrupt or

sensors, and weapons systems'."
-- BBC article describing U.S. plans to fight the Internet, 1/27/06

February 3, 2006
Dear friends,

The highly informative BBC article below describes disturbing plans by
the U.S. military to control the Internet. A U.S. military document
recently uncovered through the Freedom of Information Act reveals an
"Information Operations Roadmap" in which plans are being made based on
the premise that the military will view the Internet "as it would an
enemy weapons system." The document is signed by U.S. Secretary of
Defense Donald Rumsfeld. If you care about freedom of information on
the Internet, this is a vitally important article.

A Google News search on the military's "Information Operations Roadmap"
reveals that, of major media in the US, only the Los Angeles Times,
Newsday, and ABC even mention the recently released "Information
Operations Roadmap," and none of these give much detail. Why is the
U.S. media so reluctant to report on these matters which are vital to
the preservation of freedom of speech guaranteed in the first amendment
of the U.S. constitution? If you care about preserving the free flow of
information over the Internet, please spread the news about this most
important BBC article. Together, we can and will build a brighter
future.

US plans to 'fight the net' revealed

By Adam Brookes
BBC Pentagon correspondent

A newly declassified document gives a fascinating glimpse into the US
military's plans for "information operations" - from psychological
operations, to attacks on hostile computer networks.

Bloggers beware.

As the world turns networked, the Pentagon is calculating the military
opportunities that computer networks, wireless technologies and the
modern media offer.

 From influencing public opinion through new media to designing
"computer network attack" weapons, the US military is learning to fight
an electronic war.

The declassified document is called "Information Operations Roadmap".
It was obtained by the National Security Archive at George Washington
University using the Freedom of Information Act.

Officials in the Pentagon wrote it in 2003. The Secretary of Defense,
Donald Rumsfeld, signed it.

The "roadmap" calls for a far-reaching overhaul of the military's
ability to conduct information operations and electronic warfare. And,
in some detail, it makes recommendations for how the US armed forces
should think about this new, virtual warfare.

The document says that information is "critical to military success".
Computer and telecommunications networks are of vital operational
importance.

Propaganda

The operations described in the document include a surprising range of
military activities: public affairs officers who brief journalists,
psychological operations troops who try to manipulate the thoughts and
beliefs of an enemy, computer network attack specialists who seek to
destroy enemy networks.

All these are engaged in information operations.

Perhaps the most startling aspect of the roadmap is its acknowledgement
that information put out as part of the military's psychological
operations, or Psyops, is finding its way onto the computer and
television screens of ordinary Americans.

"Information intended for foreign audiences, including public diplomacy
and Psyops, is increasingly consumed by our domestic audience," it
reads.

"Psyops messages will often be replayed by the news media for much
larger audiences, including the American public," it goes on.

The document's authors acknowledge that American news media should not
unwittingly broadcast military propaganda. "Specific boundaries should
be established," they write. But they don't seem to explain how.

"In this day and age it is impossible to prevent stories that are fed
abroad as part of psychological operations propaganda from blowing back
into the United States - even though they were directed abroad," says
Kristin Adair of the National Security Archive.

Credibility problem

Public awareness of the US military's information operations is low,
but it's growing - thanks to some operational clumsiness.

Late last year, it emerged that the Pentagon had paid a private
company, the Lincol

That was in 1955, and it doesn't necessarily negate
reluctance on his part to wiretap King.

In any case, most people who have been paying attention
are aware that Bobby Kennedy went through a major
transformation after JFK was killed.

The poem by Aeschylus he quoted when he addressed
the campaign crowds in Indianapolis to announce MLK's
assassination--

"Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget
falls drop by drop upon the heart,
until, in our own despair,
against our will,
comes wisdom
through the awful grace of God."

--evidently was an emblem, to him, of his change
of heart (and perhaps even a tacit expression of
regret for not having treated King properly).

Having done time as a fry cook when I was a kid (for a $1/hr) at an 
A&W Drive-in, serving up burgers to the young Beach Boys and their 
fans in Hawthorne, California, I can attest to the fact that the non-
burger portion of the grill was used for toasted cheese sandwiches, 
and the oil even back in the 60s was of vegetable origin (although 
MacDonalds famously was sued for adding beef flavoring to its fry 
oil).

Of course, Dixon's comments about Ted Kennedy were irrelevant, but 
the point is that Robert Kennedy did do multiple approvals of the 
wiretaps.
As far as Robert Kennedy's character supposedly making him only a 
reluctant supporter of the wiretap campaign against King, he was a 
mutt who loved Sen McCarthy's witchhunt and worked for that lowlife 
alongside the execrable Roy Cohn. Kennedy defended both his work for 
McCarthy and McCarthy himself long after even middle of the road 
Americans were totally disgusted with both:

All universities have some means of verifying degree claims -- here 
is a U.S. college page:

http://www.morehouse.edu/recordsregistration/degreeinformation.php

If schools did not verify degrees, then anybody could make claims 
about being a graduate. 

MMY has been in the West for about 50 years -- if his claim to 
having a bachelor's degree from Allahabad U were not true, then one 
of the little darkness-luvin' demons opposed to his mission of 
enlightenment would surely have seized this trivial little item as a 
means to slur his reputation, and showed evidence from Allahabad U 
that MMY did not graduate, but this has not happened, and the reason 
is because MMY did graduate.

I'm not going to do the legwork to contact Allahabad U for 
verification, but by all means, go ahead and waste your time:

Geez, Rick, next thing you know you'll be telling us MMY actually needs 6-8 hours of sleep a night, or something else equally as shocking.

Did I say that they had "just as much access to health care as the 
rich"?

Or did I say that the poor had access to health care as defined as a 
basic necessity?

Surely, a rich person, for example, can afford a private hospital 
room whereby a poor person will get placed in a ward.

Surely, a rich person will have his or her choice of doctors whereas 
a poor person won't.

BUT: the poor person will NOT be denied basic medical care.

Do you know that in the USA over $360 billion a year is spent on 
just one poverty program -- called Medicaid -- to provide health 
care to the poor?  That's almost twice as much as the entire 
Canadian federal budget where health care is universally available.  
And that's just ONE program: Medicaire pays for over 80% of health 
care costs for seniors...

I don't get what you're saying. If you are implying that the option to 
get off oil was there, and ignored, and war chosen instead, how is war 
the 'lesser evil'? 

The leadership of the USA consciously chose to kill vs to solve the 
problem. Since killing involves sin, whether you agree with it or not, 
it requires a strong karmic return. 

In other words, even if war is seen as a justifiable option, 
unfortunately the laws of cause and effect can't be bypassed. The 
violence will only be perpetuated. This is why it is such a sin to do 
this. This is the evil. Not only the act itself, but the miserable 
cycle of karma that it begets.

The next step, if it has not already been taken, is that American activists in 
similar causes will be designated "terrorist sympathizers" and declared hostile 
to the national interest, and they will be spied upon by the Bush

I agree that the best way to settle the middle east would have been to
get off of oil entirely, but that's not what has happened. Many things
in the relative involve choosing the lesser evil, that's why it's
relative. It's not about bullying either, we could do a far better job

[FairfieldLife] Anti-GMO Activist Barred Entry into US by Bush Admin.

2006-02-09 Thread markmeredith2002
NEW YORK - French farmer Jose Bove, a prominent protester against
genetically modified food and agricultural free trade, has been denied
entry into the United States, officials of an event he was due to
address said on Thursday.

Bove arrived at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport with
a valid U.S. entry visa on Wednesday afternoon but was detained for
several hours and later returned to Paris, according to William
Kramer, a spokesman for the conference.

"This is ridiculous, this is illegal, you're violating his free
speech," Kramer said. He said calls to the U.S. Immigration Department
and to the Department of Homeland Security had failed to secure an
explanation.

U.S. immigration officials were not immediately available for comment.

On Friday, Bove was to deliver an address titled "The Struggle Against
Monsanto in Europe." U.S.-based Monsanto Co. is a major manufacturer
of genetically modified seeds.

I can't think of a suitable retort to this since I'm still reeling from your 
stated
belief that in the US, the poor have just as much access to health care as the 
rich. Someone who believes that will believe anything, so it's not much use

I'm sorry, but you do not see the possebility of a total breakdown of 
the values you cherish; democracy/less violence/injustice/poverty. 
You simply feel too safe in your little Finland.

About 15 years ago Maharishi said something in the line of; The bombs 
could go off in Denmark any time, no democracy is safe today; create 
big coherencecreating groups now ! (This is not a direct quote). But 
everyone thought MMY had gone mad; from where could little Denmark be 
challenged ? Now we now.
 
We also know that everything Maharishi says will come to be, sooner 
or later.

I was once handed a $50 by Johnny Gray and asked to run down to the
restaurant in a Howard Johnson's hotel near JFK to buy MMY a grilled cheese
sandwich and French fries. Undoubtedly the sandwich was grilled on a grill
used to cook burgers all day and God knows what the fries were cooked in.

I don't see the fuzz. This ability that many of us have these days 
to look at something so ugly and pointless as war and pronounce it 
as somehow strategic, or a sound solution, is beyond me. It is as 
close to pure evil as anything I can think of.

I know a world war two vet who served in the Pacific as a Marine 
sniper. He had nightmares for *thirty years* nearly every night 
afterwards because of what he had been exposed to.

And it isn't like there aren't alternatives...I proposed back in 
2001 that we as a country embark on an alternative energy program 
with the same fervor as we had in the 60's to put a man on the moon.
That would cool down the Middle East immeasurably. 

But now I see that this war isn't about oil. It is about bullying, 
and imposing our will on others, and showing the world that you 
can't push around the USA. Oh, and weapons testing. Can't forget the 
immoral weapons testing...

So call it what you will. I call it Sin.

2006-02-09 Thread Ingegerd
I feel the same, that Christianity and Islam has been used in a 
political way to keep power and control of people in the name of 
God. The Old Testament is really brutal. 
The women are suppressed in every relegion - where the rules is made 
by men. So we should be very careful not to lose the Free Press and 
Humour and Cartoons - it create discussions - and dialogs - and that 
is good.

Yeah, I've heard that too- how Christ consciousness is different 
from the Jesus guy, etc. 

I was pretty involved with Christianity (Protestant/Episcopalian) 
until I was about 13, as an altar boy and stuff. Then one day the 
priest said that there are some questions [about God and the 
Universe] that we are never able to answer. Sort of set up a 
perpetual carrot on a stick approach. It was like letting the air 
out of a balloon for me, and I rapidly lost interest in the 
Christianity after that. 

So maybe Christ is Christ, or maybe he's Jesus Christ, but until 
someone can explain to me why I should care, I'll leave it to others 
to figure out...

Charlie used to tell a funny story about MMY and ice cream. Maharishi
would ask if there were eggs in the ice cream and Charlie would say.
"Nah..." and M would go on eating (and Charlie would make a funny
face) so maybe the eggs thang isn't true :-)

Tell me about it.  I suffered -- needlessly -- with this
same thing for quite a while, until an eye doctor explained
it to me and told me how to get around it.  The issue, at
least for me, was *light*, not sharpness of vision.  As
you get older, the rods and cones in your eyes grow
"tired," and don't respond as well to low levels of light.
In my case, at my optometrist's suggestion, I bought a 
few extremely bright halogen lamps, and poof! the problem 
went away.

Where this issue is the biggest problem for me is in an
environment where I can't control the lighting.  Glasses
don't help if the issue is needing more light.  For
example, I've grown used to having to have my date read
the dinner bill for me in dimly-lit restaurants.  Cool
I guess if it's an expensive restaurant and I've just
splurged on dinner, but a bit embarrassing if I've taken 
her to one of my favorite bargain joints.  :-)

There is also a report recently that people aren't able to read so well 
because they have become used to "skimming" information on the web  due 
to  the overwhelming amount information available.   When my work load 
is low I read books on weekends as I can't after a full day at the 
computer, not because of flicker but because I feel it better to focus 
on something at a distance (my HDTV) and give my eyes a rest from close 
work.  My optometrist agreed.

Well put! The historical Jesus of Nazareth and The Christ are two 
different enteties.  Jesus from Palestine was teaching in the light 
of Christ for about 3 years. Christ is now in incarnation with many 
of His Masters, with the name Maitreya. One of His Masters, 
Brahmananda Saraswati is currently not in incarnation. For more 
information, please see:

I lived with an Ecuadorian family for about a year when I was about 
17.  With every meal they had rice, even breakfast.  My favourite 
meal was when they would serve a fried egg or two on top of the 
rice: you could then break the yolk and let all the yellow seep into 
the rice.  Really, really yummy...especially, too, because of the 
way they made the rice: she would purposely let the rice burn at the 
bottom of the pan (actually, it would turn golden) and then she 
would mix that burnt part in with the rest of the rice.

Since then, I've tried to replicate the burning of the rice the way 
she did it but have never been successful.

Re: [FairfieldLife] Re: Steaming Hot Cup O Jihad with that Danish?

2006-02-09 Thread Bhairitu
I've always felt that Islam was more of a political movement than a 
religion but then many people think the roots of Christianity were 
actually a political movement.  Mohamed was concerned with the tribal 
wars in the region and that many of the war lords were doing rituals to 
"pagan" gods to achieve power.   So he dreamt up this religion with "one 
true God" to try to calm the tribal wars.  There is an excellent 
documentary on this (mostly Iranian produced) either from PBS or 
National Geographic (I don't remember which and maybe it was both) on DVD.

That is the general consensus in the French papers,
that the whole thing is being staged as a part of
the US selling the world another war, this time

Ladies and Gentlemen: I'm only going to talk to you just for a minute 
or so this evening, because I have some very sad news for all of you -
- Could you lower those signs, please? -- I have some very sad news 
for all of you, and, I think, sad news for all of our fellow 
citizens, and people who love peace all over the world; and that is 
that Martin Luther King was shot and was killed tonight in Memphis, 
Tennessee.

Martin Luther King dedicated his life to love and to justice between 
fellow human beings. He died in the cause of that effort. In this 
difficult day, in this difficult time for the United States, it's 
perhaps well to ask what kind of a nation we are and what direction 
we want to move in. For those of you who are black -- considering the 
evidence evidently is that there were white people who were 
responsible -- you can be filled with bitterness, and with hatred, 
and a desire for revenge.

We can move in that direction as a country, in greater polarization --
 black people amongst blacks, and white amongst whites, filled with 
hatred toward one another. Or we can make an effort, as Martin Luther 
King did, to understand, and to comprehend, and replace that 
violence, that stain of bloodshed that has spread across our land, 
with an effort to understand, compassion and love.

For those of you who are black and are tempted to be filled with 
hatred and mistrust of the injustice of such an act, against all 
white people, I would only say that I can also feel in my own heart 
the same kind of feeling. I had a member of my family killed, but he 
was killed by a white man.

But we have to make an effort in the United States, we have to make 
an effort to understand, to get beyond, or go beyond these rather 
difficult times.

My favorite poem, my favorite poet was Aeschylus. And he once wrote:

"Even in our sleep, pain which cannot forget
falls drop by drop upon the heart,
until, in our own despair,
against our will,
comes wisdom
through the awful grace of God."

What we need in the United States is not division; what we need in 
the United States is not hatred; what we need in the United States is 
not violence and lawlessness, but is love and wisdom, and compassion 
toward one another, and a feeling of justice toward those who still 
suffer within our country, whether they be white or whether they be 
black.

So I ask you tonight to return home, to say a prayer for the family 
of Martin Luther King -- yeah, it's true -- but  more importantly to 
say a prayer for our own country, which all of us love -- a prayer 
for understanding and that compassion of which I spoke.

We can do well in this country. We will have difficult times. We've 
had difficult times in the past. And we will have difficult times in 
the future. It is not the end of violence; it is not the end of 
lawlessness; and it's not the end of disorder.

But the vast majority of white people and the vast majority of black 
people in this country want to live together, want to improve the 
quality of our life, and want justice for all human beings that abide 
in our land.

Let us dedicate ourselves to what the Greeks wrote so many years ago: 
to tame the savageness of man and make gentle the life of this world. 
Let us dedicate ourselves to that, and say a prayer for our country 
and for our people.

Thank you very much.

--Robert F. Kennedy, April 4, 1968, Indianapolis

I didn't ask that much so I don't know...but if I were interested, I 
was told, the kind gentleman would take me for a tour to the place 
in Srinegar where Jesus was buried.

Of course, a gratuity of a certain amount of rupees would be 
implicitly understood...

My favorite quote about eggs is from Harold Bloomfield,
the once-famous TM doc, who said, "If you can't remember
what you had for breakfast, it was eggs."

Then again, he was later called up on charges of drugging
his female patients and molesting them, so you may not
want to pay that much attention to his diet advice.  :-)

I had lasik surgury about a year and a half ago and afte wearing 
glasses for near-sightedness for 35 years I no longer wear glasses 
(except, of course, for reading).

But I find that after staring at my computer monitor for 1 or 2 
hours and then I go out driving (especially at night) that I find it 
hard to adjust.  I have been told that while I am at the computer it 
is a good idea to take my eyes off the screen every 5 or 10 minutes 
and for a few seconds look off into the distance and focus on a far-
off object.

Even more embarrassing if you live in Canada and if your date is 14 
and you can legally have sexual relations with her but she is not 
legally old enough to order drinks...

1) Why do you assume I was being critical of Canada?  Maybe I like 
teenage girls and find it appealing that I could go there and fiddle 
about legally when I would be locked up doing the same in the US of 
A.

2)Like a typical self-centered American, you think that the world

person you are addressing is NOT an American...which I'm not.

I'm a citizen of Canada.

Yes, on our 6-month course he said, "One egg in a lifetime is enough."

Gosh.

Applying one standard for a current historical figures who is still 
alive and can, if he chooses to, correct the record and another one 
who has been dead for 2,000 years.

How unfair.

Of course, it is good ethics not to visit the sins of the father or 
brother upon the son or brother.

But, of course, Teddy is only a senator in the first place because 
of his family connections, so it is fair game in the eyes of those 
who place importance upon familial connections.

Judy Stein, Democratic Party apologist.

Fact is that Robert Kennedy was one of the counsels for Joe McCarthy 
and HUAC...and a very agressive one, to boot.

Indeed, if you look closely at George Clooney's movie "Good Night 
and Good Luck" in the segments in which he uses actual footage from 
the hearings you will see RFK sitting right up there on the 
committee dias 3 or 4 seats down from McCarthy.  Of course, Clooney 
doesn't dwell on this fact or mention it as he much prefers to 
concentrate on the involvement of those with the assumed evil 
reputation of right-wingism such as Ray Cohn...and you have to look 
very closely to see RFK there...I believe it is because it is not 
politically correct to show a Kennedy on the side of McCarthy.

Another reality: when the U.S. Senate voted to censure McCarthy, 
only one Senator refused to vote for the censure.  His name?  John 
F. Kennedy, who was one of McCarthy's best friends...

If you're asking Rick, he probably knew because he would ask the

My understanding is that MMY is a strict vegetarian which means not

When I was in Kashmir in '81 or '82 (can't remember the exact year) 
on a TM month-long course, the locals there claimed that Jesus not 
only visited Kashmir but that he was buried there.

Yep, thanks for all of this. Fortunately my greater difficulty with 
reading has coincided nicely with my lack of interest in 
books...Funny, because at first I thought something was wrong. Then 
I realized it wasn't.

You might also want to look into the sharpness and
the flicker rate of the computer screen itself.  I
had a bad monitor at work for a while, an old-style
CRT monitor.  What I'd notice that was on the Metro
going to work, I could read a book easily, but on
the way home, after looking at the monitor all day,
I couldn't even focus on the page.  Finally I put
two and two together and asked for a different 
monitor.  Poof!  The problem went away completely.

None of these suggestions may be relevant to your
situation, but I'm just bringing them up because
I spent a couple of years avoiding reading because
it was no longer comfortable.  Then I figured out
that I didn't have to.

[FairfieldLife] Re: How long was MMY at university?

2006-02-09 Thread Premanand Paul Mason
The relationship between the threads on Jesus and MMY concern where 
they learned their 'teaching'. So it is a misperception if 'It seems 
that critical thinking is being applied very unevenly'. Perhaps 
instead of indulging this viewpoint, you might return some useful 
information regarding the learning years of either or both of these 
men?
