THE SIRENS OF TITAN
Seeing, touching and smelling the extraordinarily
Earth-like world of Titan
http://www.esa.int/esaCP/SEMTKR71Y3E_index_0.html
On 14 January ESA's Huygens probe made an historic
first ever descent to the surface of Titan,
1.2 billion kilometres from Earth and the largest
of Saturn's moons. [...]
Descent Imager-Spectral Radiometer (DISR):
"Geological evidence for precipitation, erosion,
mechanical abrasion and other fluvial activity
says that the physical processes shaping Titan are
much the same as those shaping Earth."
Spectacular images captured by the DISR reveal
that Titan has extraordinarily Earth-like
meteorology and geology. Images have shown a
complex network of narrow drainage channels
running from brighter highlands to lower,
flatter, dark regions. These channels merge
into river systems running into lakebeds
featuring offshore 'islands' and 'shoals'
remarkably similar to those on Earth.
Data provided in part by the Gas Chromatograph
and Mass Spectrometer (GCMS) and Surface
Science Package (SSP) support Dr Tomasko's
conclusions. Huygens' data provide strong
evidence for liquids flowing on Titan.
However, the fluid involved is methane,
a simple organic compound that can exist as a
liquid or gas at Titan's sub-170°C temperatures,
rather than water as on Earth.

"The conversion which humanity underwent
in antiquity was prepared by the collapse
of the ancient religion, begun in the
middle of the Hellenistic period, and
went on with ever greater strength under
the Empire, until it was perfected in the
victory of Christianity and the passing
of the ancient culture into the
middle ages.
"It was a conversion from rationalism to
mysticism: from the clear, logical lines
of Greek thought to faith in the wonderful,
supernatural, and supersensuous; from
love of the beauty of the world and the
body to flight from the world and
condemnation of all that was corporeal."
--M.P. Nilsson _Greek Piety_
"All of this has happened before,
complete with occupation of scientific
citadels by ["true-believers"] and with
gradual replacement of experimental doubt
by faith and superstition. What strikes
me most is the contempt in which the
intellectuals of the time held their
enemies. They found themselves killed or
at least thrown out into the street before
they could realize what was going on. The
whole idea [of blind faith] had seemed so
ridiculous to them that they had not even
bothered to seek information about it."
--Aime Michel
"[...] One of the most valuable sources of
information on Hitler's own thinking is
a man named Herman Rauschning.
Rauschning was one of the earliest
adherents to the Nazi Party, joining in
1926. He soon became one of Hitler's most
trusted colleagues and confidants, and was
made President of the Danzig Senate in 1933.
By 1935, however, he had become genuinely
alarmed at what was happening in Germany,
and he fled, first to Switzerland, and then
to the United States. Deeming it essential
to warn the world about the Third Reich,
he published, in the years immediately prior
to the war, two books in which he recounted
much of Hitler's own conversation. From
numerous extracts in Rauschning, it is
apparent that Hitler knew full well what he
was doing, and that the activation of the
religious impulse in the German people was
part of a meticulously calculated design.
Paraphrasing Hitler, Rauschning says,
'He had made the masses frantic, he
explained, in order to fashion them into
instruments of his policy. He had awakened
the masses. He had lifted them out of
themselves, and had given them meaning
and a function.' [...]"

"The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is

in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should voyage far. The sciences,
each straining in its own direction, have hitherto
harmed us little; but some day the piecing together
of dissociated knowledge will open up such terrifying
vistas of reality, and of our frightful position
therein, that we shall either go mad from the
revelation or flee from the deadly light into the
peace and safety of a new dark age."

Moon is the head of the Unification Church
<http://www.unification.net/> and the founder

Rev. Sun Myung Moon spent a billion dollars of
church funds to support the conservative,
influential Washington Times, which in 2002 he
called "the instrument in spreading the truth
about God to the world".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun_Myung_Moon
In what the [New York] Times labelled "a coronation
ceremony", the Rev. Sun Myung Moon was given a
bejeweled crown by Rep. Danny K. Davis, D-IL and Moon
announced that he would save everyone on Earth as he
had saved the souls of even such murderous dictators
as Hitler and Stalin -- who had been born again through
him. Moon said the reformed Hitler and Stalin vouched
for him from the spirit world, calling him "none other
than humanity's Savior, Messiah, Returning Lord
and True Parent".

WHAT IS CONSCIOUSNESS?
http://research.utu.fi/ccn/projects/consciousness.html
[(From an article by Ron Suskind in the New York Times)]:
"In the summer of 2002, after I had written an article in
Esquire that the White House didn't like about Bush's former
communications director, Karen Hughes, I had a meeting
with a senior adviser to Bush. He expressed the White House's
displeasure, and then he told me something that at the time I
didn't fully comprehend -- but which I now believe gets to the
very heart of the Bush presidency.
"The aide said that guys like me were 'in what we call the
reality-based community,' which he defined as people who
'believe that solutions emerge from your judicious study of
discernible reality.' I nodded and murmured something about
enlightenment principles and empiricism. He cut me off.
'That's not the way the world really works anymore,'
he continued. 'We're an empire now, and when we act, we
create our own reality. And while you're studying that
reality -- judiciously, as you will -- we'll act again, creating
other new realities, which you can study too, and that's how
things will sort out. We're history's actors . . . and you, all of
you, will be left to just study what we do.'"

AND Now back to the "Godly" ....
Subject: Marriage, according to the bible and Government
Subject: Draft of a Constitutional Amendment to Defend
Biblical Marriage
As certain politicians work diligently to prevent marriage
between two people of the same sex, others have been busy
drafting a Constitutional Amendment codifying all marriages
entirely on Biblical principles. After all, God wouldn't want
us to "pick and choose" which of the Scriptures we elevate
to civil law and which we choose to ignore:
Draft of a Constitutional Amendment to Defend
Biblical Marriage:
*1 Marriage in the United States of America
shall consist of a union between one man and one
or more women. (Gen 29:17-28; II Sam 3:2-5.)
*2 Marriage shall not impede a man's right to
take concubines in addition to his wife or wives.
(II Sam 5:13; I Kings 11:3; II Chron 11:21)
*3 A marriage shall be considered valid only
if the wife is a virgin. If the wife is not a
virgin, she shall be executed.(Deut 22:13-21)
*4 Marriage of a believer and a non-believer
shall be forbidden. (Gen 24:3; Num 25:1-9; Ezra 9:12;
Neh 10:30, 2Cor 6:14)
*5 Since marriage is for life, neither the
US Constitution nor any state law shall permit
divorce. (Deut 22:19; Mark 10:9-12)
*6 If a married man dies without children, his
brother must marry the widow. If the brother refuses
to marry the widow, or deliberately does not give her
children, he shall pay a fine of one shoe and be
otherwise punished in a manner to be determined
by law. (Gen. 38:6-10; Deut 25:5-10)
*7 In lieu of marriage (if there are no acceptable
men to be found), a woman shall get her father drunk
and have sex with him. (Gen 19:31-36)
I hope this helps to clarify the finer details
of the Government's righteous struggle against the
infidels and heathens among us.
++++++++++
Logical conclusion:
Back to the Bible! might as well go all the way back
to Genesis where God says - I have given you every herb
of the field for your use .... (we wouldn't want to pick
and choose, would we?) which brings us full circle back
to ... Bush's "Christian" Blood Cult??!

movements' continue to unwittingly supply energy to
the dark side, which feeds off all the energy to
strengthen itself - to no avail in the end. Will you
choose to participate in the polarity drama, watch or
observe and learn? Your choice will influence the
result for you.
"You are here BECAUSE OF IT IS THE WAY IT IS, NOT
IN SPITE OF IT. You cannot stop any sequence of
events that are part of The Game, or the wild cards
that are introduced - nor would you want to (unless
you don't know who you are). It is what you chose
for experience. You will experience it and move on
to new experience, where you will make use of that
which you have learned here. So what's really the
big deal? There isn't one - it's just experience
for every incarnation concerned, uniquely flavored
for each, to be reflected upon afterward. Allow those
in mid and low-level incarnational perspectives to
do their thing, and observe. http://www.trufax.org/

"...both sides are in error. Life is not supposed
to be a struggle, each against the other. It is an idea
that has its origin with Hobbes, and it has been
programmed into people's minds as defining the way life is.
It, too, is a lie. People have been lied to for so long
they believe it is all the truth. It isn't.
The whole planetary socio-cultural system is a lie.
If you are offered two choices, pick a third one yourself,
but make it reasonable, impeccable, and characteristic of
a non-polaric consciousness."

Future Based on the Studies of Robert Monroe
by Val Valerian
Robert Monroe is perhaps most famous for his books Journeys Out
of the Body, Far Journeys and Ultimate Journey. A true pioneer
in terms of the evolution of human consciousness. The notable
work in terms of investigations into the future of man appeared
in Far Journeys. In that book, Monroe details his discovery that
the Earth is surrounded by "bands" in which individuals congregate
after physical death, for varying lengths of time, based on their
individual resonant vibration and belief systems. This idea is
also quite evident in the work War in Heaven, which details the
manipulative control structures related to religious belief
systems in some of these interdimensional bands. Monroe's
discoveries about these rings/bands are important because of
what he discovers later about them around the time period of
3,000 AD.
[...]
Now, this is the interesting part. They told Monroe that
entities newly arriving on Earth at that time period first
had to experience one human life cycle in a period of time
before the changes were made, and then they were allowed to
spend time there. Monroe was told that these one-time experiences
were going on in the 20th century for some of those destined to
return to occupy the dimensional area around Earth in 3000 AD+.
Those who graduated from the Earth environment in 3,000 AD did
not return to Earth. They no longer needed to experience Earth
and could take on physical forms in lessening degrees of density
and radiation patterns until they no longer felt the need to do
so....on their journey to the infinite growth patterns of
consciousness that were developing all the time. Happy Trails!

How could it be otherwise with a people whose chief deity
was the goddess Durga (Alla). Women married men of their
choice and were financially independent. They were
entrepeneurs, artisans, poets and even warriors! Later on
Muhammad would marry Khadija, who was not only a wealthy
merchant but also in the position to choose her own
husband. This clearly demonstrates the level of freedom
women enjoyed in Vedic Arabia. Hind, who was the wife of
Muhammad's chief enemy Abu Sufyan, herself participated
in the battlefield."

"Gone were the schools, teachers, libraries,
poets, artists, philosophers and scholars that

preached. Thus was the light of learning
extinguished in Arabia. All that remained was

'Who' perceives this?
Mumon's Twelve Zen Warnings.
1. To observe rules and regulations is to tie oneself
without a rope.
2. To act freely and without restraint is heresy
and deviltry.
3. To recognize mind and purify it is the false zen
of silent sitting.
4. To allow oneself freedom and to ignore
interrelating conditions is to fall into the pit.
5. To always be alert and clear is to wear chains
and an iron yoke.
6. To think of good and evil is to be in heaven
and hell.
7. To have a Buddha view and a Dharma view is to be
confined in two iron mountains.
8. To realize a thought as soon as it arises is to
exhaust one's energy.
9. To sit blankly in quietism is the zen of a corpse.
10. If you advance you will deviate from the principle.
11. If you retreat you will be against the truth.
12. If you neither advance nor retreat you are a
dead man breathing.
Now tell me, what will you do?
Make the utmost effort to attain completely realization
in this life. Do not let yourself circulate karma forever.

Parenthetically, the so-called "Men-In-Black"
were tinkering with this technology way back
in the mid nineteen-sixties in West Virginia:
________________________________________________
"The Mothman Prophecies" from:
"Everything is Under Control" by Robert Anton Wilson
In 1968, West Virginia, especially in the area bordering
on Ohio, became the scene of an outbreak of weirdity that
crisscrosses several categories of controversy.
As documented in John Keel's The Mothman Prophecies, the
phenomena included:
[|] the first in the series of mysterious "cattle mutilations-
that have recurred regularly in many other states, usually
further west;
[|] over 100 sightings of strange lights (or UFOs) in the sky;
[|] three classic "close encounter" cases, in which people saw,
or thought they saw, extraterrestrials, or critters they
considered extraterrestrial;
[|] about 70 sightings of Mothman, a traditional "monster' of
the area who, like Bigfoot and Nessie, keeps coming back to
shock or terrorize a few witnesses, but never lingers long
enough to be scientifically confirmed; and
[|] a long parade of men in black, most of them driving black
Cadillacs and looking vaguely "Oriental." Mothman is, or
appears as, or is hallucinated as, a humanoid figure with
giant mothlike wings and glaring red eyes.
Another spook visiting the area called himself Indrid Cold and
said he came from a planet named Lanulos. He appeared twice to
a salesman named Woodrow Derenberger, with whom he seemed to
communicate by telepathy. Derenberger was thereafter vexed by
strange phone calls combining threats, electronic hums, and
code-like beeps. (See "Secret Cipher of the UFOnauts.")
While trying to investigate this combination of real weirdity
(the cattle mutilations, the UFO sightings confirmed on radar)
and growing mob hysteria, Keel himself became the target of
the weirdness. A maelstrom of electronic and mechanical
accidents haunted him, and strange people contacted him by
strange means to prophesy future events. The major repeated
prophecies were (1) the Pope would be stabbed while visiting
the Middle East, (2) Robert Kennedy was in danger, and the
threat waited for him in a hotel kitchen, (3) there would be
a nationwide power failure on December 24 at noon.
The Pope was not stabbed in the Middle East; he was stabbed
the next year in Manila. Robert Kennedy was shot dead in a
hotel kitchen by Sirhan Sirhan and/or persons unknown.
There was no power failure on December 24 at noon, but at
that exact hour a bridge collapsed in West Virginia, right
in the center of the UFO/ Mothman activities, killing over
100 people.
Keel claims that most major UFO flaps have this penumbra of
magick and surrealism about them, usually ignored by both
skeptics and the ardent believers in the ETH (extraterrestrial
theory.) He prefers to call the entities involved
ultra-terrestrials, existing on the borderland between
matter and energy, or reality and dream, and regards them as
mischievous, deceptive, often dangerous, and likely to produce
mental illness in those who insistently try to communicate
with them.

those extra-terrestrials who have so much popularity these days.
I have also considered the player on the other side as more
impersonal, like the Tao, or more bizarre, like Shiva Dancing,

Computer Chips in your Drivers License
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Oct. 6th
urged Virginia not to become the first state in
the nation to place radio frequency identification
chips in its driver's licenses. RFID tags are
computer chips attached to tiny antennae that are
capable of broadcasting their data wirelessly to
anyone with an RFID reader. They are currently
used for "contactless" applications such as
tollbooth speed passes. Almost everyone carries a
driver's license, and RFID chips allow people to
be tracked. This proposal would allow anyone to
set up a reader and capture the identities and
personal information of every person who comes
within range. FBI agents, for example, could
sweep up identities of everyone at a political
meeting, protest march, gun show or Islamic
prayer service.

"... Though still capable of composing myself and
dealing with the real world, I was nonetheless coming
apart. In the career of the magician, when they
reach that pinnacle of accomplishment and face the
outermost Abyss, it is assumed they will be able to
make a cautious and judicious approach before allowing
all that they have, and all they've become, to be
ripped away, as they are flung helpless into the Deep.
I was young, and rash, and simply could not see that
for all the care I took in avoiding disaster, the

would lead me to face the destruction of my life as
I then understood it."

INFLATION-THEORY IMPLICATIONS FOR EXTRATERRESTRIAL VISITATION

Curious situation
http://www.space.com/searchforlife/et_betterodds_050114.html
[...]
Pick up any good science magazine and you're sure to see
the latest in head-scratching ideas about superstring
theory, wormholes, or the stretching of spacetime itself.
Meanwhile, extrasolar planetary detection is on the verge
of becoming mundane.
"We are in the curious situation today that our best
modern physics and astrophysics theories predict that
we should be experiencing extraterrestrial visitation,
yet any possible evidence of such lurking in the UFO
phenomenon is scoffed at within our scientific
community," contends astrophysicist Bernard Haisch.
Haisch along with physicists James Deardorff,
Bruce Maccabee and Harold Puthoff make their
case in the JBIS article: "Inflation-Theory
Implications for Extraterrestrial Visitation".
The scientists point to two key discoveries made by
Australian astronomers and reported last year that
there is a "galactic habitable zone" in our Milky
Way Galaxy. And more importantly that Earth's own
star, the Sun, is relatively young in comparison to
the average star in this zone -- by as much as a
billion years.
Therefore, the researchers explain in their JBIS
article that an average alien civilization would
be far more advanced and have long since discovered
Earth. Additionally, other research work on the
supposition underlying the Big Bang -- known as the
theory of inflation -- shores up the prospect,
they advise, that our world is immersed in a much
larger extraterrestrial civilization. [...]

"... What was said was that culture is the shockwave of
eschatology. Nothing is unannounced. This is like a weird
quality of experience, you can't learn this from physics
or economics. (Maybe you can learn it from economics.)
Nothing is unannounced. Everything is preceded by the
shockwave of its coming. So somehow the spreading zaniness
of reality is part of the boundary-dissolving qualities
that are going to make up this new cultural mix of
disembodied human beings, nanotechnologically-maintained
environments, dissolved self-definitions, people living
at many levels at the same time; intelligence as a kind of
free-flowing nonlocal resource that comes and goes as
needed; prosthesis, implant, boundary dissolution -- these
things are usually presented as fairly terrifying. But in
fact I think behind it all lurks, you know, the demons who
do calisthenics in the angles of every room on this planet
to keep it all from collapsing into a flat line."

The Vatican on UFO
Monsignor Corrado Balducci, a Vatican expert on exorcism,
has made several public pronouncements on the UFO phenomenon.
He advises that the Vatican is receiving much information on
UFO and alien contact, from its nuncios in various countries.
Monsignor Balducci is on a Vatican commission looking into
such encounters, and how to cope with them.
The Catholic Church has historically demonized many new
phenomena that were poorly understood, but Monsignor Balducci
states: "These encounters are not demonic, they are not due
to psychological impairment, and they are not a case of
entity attachment; we are closely following and studying this
phenomenon." He continues:
"We find no direct reference to extraterrestrial life in the
Bible, but neither does it exclude the existence of such:
"The distance between the angels -- pure spiritual
beings -- and us -- beings of spirit and matter,
body and soul -- is too large
"Between us and the angels, another life form
probably exists -- beings with a physical body
but one more perfect than ours and which
influences the soul less in its intelligent
acts and intentions
"The relationship between mind and matter in such
beings might be different than in our case
"If they are indeed superior to us, they can help,
support, and protect us in spiritual development;
they may have done so in the past"

"Programmable matter is probably not the next
technological revolution, nor even perhaps the
one after that. But it's coming, and when it
does it will change our lives as much as any
invention ever has. Imagine being able to
program matter itself -- to change it, with
the click of a cursor, from hard to soft, from
paper to stone, from fluorescent to
super-reflective to invisible. Supported by
companies ranging from Levi Strauss to IBM and
the Defense Department, solid-state physicists
in laboratories at MIT, Harvard,
Sun Microsystems, and elsewhere are currently
creating arrays of microscopic devices called
'quantum dots' that are capable of acting like
programmable atoms. They can be configured
electronically to replicate the properties of
any known atom and then can be changed, as fast
as an electrical signal can travel, to have the
properties of a different atom. Soon it will be
possible not only to engineer into solid matter
such unnatural properties as variable magnetism,
programmable flavors, or exotic chemical bonds,
but also to change these properties at will."

The Emporer's New Torture Czar
John Dimitri Negroponte
http://www.derechos.org/nizkor/negroponte/eng.html
(Congressional Record: September 14, 2001 (Senate) Page S9431-S9433)
EXCERPT:
And, as I mentioned earlier, based upon an extensive review of
U.S. intelligence information by the CIA Working Group in 1996,
the CIA is prepared to stipulate that "during the 1980-84 period,
the Honduran military committed most of the hundreds of human
rights abuses reported in Honduras. These abuses were often
politically motivated and officially sanctioned."
Moreover, Mr. Negroponte should have been forewarned to look for
signs of government sponsored human rights abuses in light of concerns
that his predecessor Ambassador Jack Binns, a career foreign service
officer, had raised with the State Department concerning the mind set
of the architect of Honduras' domestic countersubversion program with
respect to a willingness to extrajudicial means in the context of such
programs. Ambassador Binns was speaking about General Gustavo Alvarez
who became Commander in Chief of the Honduran Armed Forces in 1982, and
who had been Commander of Honduran Public Security Forces, FUSEP, from
1980-82. http://www.fas.org/irp/congress/2001_cr/s091401.html

Use the CIA's own search engine to find out about
John Dimitri Negroponte.
Here's the CIA document search engine.
http://www.foia.cia.gov/
Type "Negroponte". Only two documents come up.
Pick the "CIA Activities in Honduras in the 1980's" document
and go to page 22 of 238. It says "Gustavo Alvarez Martinez ...
attended an Argentine military academy and various U.S. sponsored
military courses at Fort Benning, Georgia and Fort Bragg, North
Carolina, during the 1950s and 1960s." (Blacked Out)
"... Alvarez was heavily involved in, and strong supporter of,
CIA programs in Central America. After his ouster from the
position of CINC, Alvarez resettled in the United States".
The other parts of the report, that aren't blacked out,
describe human rights violations.
I believe this old 1995 Balitmore Sun report was one of
the first newspapers to break the story and talk about
Negroponte's role.

What are Negroponte's qualifications?
------
>From 1981 to 1985 Negroponte was US ambassador to Honduras.
During his tenure, he oversaw the growth of military aid to
Honduras from $4 million to $77.4 million a year. According
to The New York Times, Negroponte was responsible for
"carrying out the covert strategy of the Reagan administration
to crush the Sandinistas government in Nicaragua." Critics
say that during his ambassadorship, human rights violations
in Honduras became systematic.
Negroponte supervised the creation of the El Aguacate air
base, where the US trained Nicaraguan Contras and which
critics say was used as a secret detention and torture center
during the 1980s. In August 2001, excavations at the base
discovered 185 corpses, including two Americans, who are
thought to have been killed and buried at the site.
Records also show that a special intelligence unit
(i.e. a fascist death squad) of the Honduran armed forces,
Battalion 3-16, trained by the CIA and Argentine military,
kidnaped, tortured and killed hundreds of people, including
US missionaries. Critics charge that Negroponte knew about
these human rights violations and yet continued to
collaborate with the Honduran military while lying
to Congress.
In May 1982, a nun, Sister Laetitia Bordes, who had worked
for ten years in El Salvador, went on a fact-finding
delegation to Honduras to investigate the whereabouts of
thirty Salvadoran nuns and women of faith who fled to
Honduras in 1981 after Archbishop Oscar Romero's assassination.
Negroponte claimed the embassy knew nothing. But in a 1996
interview with the Baltimore Sun, Negroponte's predecessor,
Jack Binns, said that a group of Salvadorans, among whom
were the women Bordes had been looking for, were captured
on April 22, 1981, and savagely tortured by the DNI, the
Honduran Secret Police, and then later thrown out of
helicopters alive.

The Stargate Conspiracy
by Lynn Picknett and Clive Prince
(Excerpt} .. .] ]]
What any kind of fundamentalism does quite
deliberately and explicitly is create divisions
in society: Them and Us, the Light and the Dark,
the Righteous and the Wicked, the Nazis and the
Jews, the Israelis and the Palestinians ...
There is no room for rationality, intellectual
questioning, challenge to the status quo,
progress. More significantly, fundamentalists
are easy to control -- and their leaders have
absolute power.
Control of the masses is ultimately what this
is about. The idea that powerful and incredibly
advanced beings will come to snatch us from the
brink of disaster and make the world a better
place for the future is, of course, enormously
attractive. It sounds too good to be true.
It may give us comfort and hope -- but it comes
at a price. Belief in the space gods and the
heightened expectancy of their benign intervention
undermines our collective self-esteem. It implies
that the human race was given civilization because
it was too feeble to civilise itself, and that it
has needed subtle guidance from the
extraterrestrials throughout history.
Now that humankind has really made a thorough mess
of things, its only hope of salvation is to await
the return of the gods to rectify the situation.
The image it promotes of mankind is essentially
negative. It is basically the same message that
made Christianity such a success as a state-sanctioned
religion, taking away the autonomy of the individual
and halting intellectual, scientific and cultural
progress for centuries. The Christian message
maintained that we were all born sinners and live only
by God's grace; our only hope is the promise of
post-mortem bliss, provided that we surrender to the
dictates of the priesthood.
The end result is a population of willing
victims, brainwashed into believing they are little
better than worms, at the mercy of God or space
beings, without means of salvation except through
them -- or, of course, their human agents.
The members of the tragic cult Heaven's Gate, who
happily took poison, represent an extreme form of
this mode of thought: life as a mere human on Earth
is worth nothing compared to escape in a spaceship,
even if you have to commit suicide to reach it.
The enormous potential of space gods or UFO cults
should not be underestimated. As the ever-perceptive
Jacques Vallee writes in his
'Messengers of Deception' (1979):
"The group of people who will first manage
to harness the fear of cosmic forces and
the emotions surrounding UFO contact to a
political purpose will be able to exert
incredible spiritual blackmail."
Others besides Vallee have realized this. Clearly,
although there is no way of knowing all the details,
the conspiritors are creating the perfect conditions
for something to happen to effectively give them
control over the masses -- over us.
As we have seen, this could amount to the return of
the ancient gods, or -- much more likely -- merely
empty promises and cynically manufactured expectations.
The potential for population control is disturbing
enough ordinarily, but taken together with the hysteria
of endtimes expectation surrounding the Millennium, a
truly explosive future is, we fear, guaranteed.
Again Jacques Vallee gets to the heart of the matter.
In 'Revelations' (1992), he writes"
"As we reach the Millennium, the belief in
the imminent arrival of extraterrestrials
in our midst is a fantasy that is as
powerful as any drug, as revolutionary as
any delusion that marked the last
millennium, as poisonous as any of the
great irrational upheavals in history."
Vallee goes on to compare this belief with the
ideology of the master race that drove the Nazis to
commit their worst atrocities. And in 'Messengers of
Deception' he lists six "social consequences" of the
hold of the UFO cults. These include:
"The contactee propaganda undermines the
image of human beings as masters of their
own destiny" and "Contactee philosophies
often include belief in higher races and
in totalitarian systems that would
eliminate democracy."
Once before, a similar millennial mood was
successfully harnessed in a way that changed the
world: two thousand years ago, in a backwater of
the Roman Empire, one man tapped into the prevailing
hysterical messianic expectation and the result was
Christianity. Theology and personal belief apart,
the effect of this was to create generations of
happy slaves who believed they came into the world
as sinners and required the Church to order every
detail of their lives. From that point of view at
least, Christianity has been a huge success. But now
it is losing its grip, something new, but similar,
is required.
Could the early years of the twenty-first century
see the emergence of a new Jesus or a new Moses [or a
new Mahdi] to make sense of our puny, worthless lives
and hand down from above a new set of commandments?
Will the prophesied 'return of the Great Initiate'
become a reality, thanks to some carefully contrived
stage management? This new leader or Messiah figure
will be backed by a massive politico-religious
movement -- a New World Ordor of zealots -- the
infrastructure of which is already in place.

The Road to Martyrs' Square: A Journey into
the World of the Suicide Bomber
by Anne Marie Oliver and Paul Steinberg
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/browse/-/12522/103-7097700-6039861
"Shahid," "jihad," "mujahudin" -- these words have
become commonplace as the so-called war on terror
and horrific terrorist acts directed at Israel and
her supporters, primarily the U.S., continues unabated.
Why, despite numerous peace accords and ceasefires,
does the conflict never end? Anne Marie Oliver and
Paul Steinberg offer an inside look at the incendiary
role extremist propaganda plays in the lives of
ordinary Palestinians and document material largely
ignored by mainstream media that explains why peace in
the Middle East never becomes a reality.
The Road to Martyrs' Square is a shocking, profoundly
disturbing, first-hand account of life in the West Bank
and Gaza during the first intifada in 1987. Initially,
the authors lived with a Palestinian family for six
months, conducting interviews and photographing street
media. Over the next six years, from their base in
Jerusalem, they continued to archive material
collected from 152 Palestinian towns. In many cases,
theirs are the only documents of such material that
exist. Their research is an invaluable and explicit
record of how the cult of the suicide bomber grew from
young boys throwing rocks at Israeli tanks, to the
highly organized and deadly killing machine manifested
in groups such as Hamas. Oliver and Steinberg portray
the "scripts" of terrorism through the graffiti, posters,
martyr cards, and training videos and audiotapes that
promulgate a culture of violence with death as a
martyr -- a shahid -- as the highest goal a young
man -- or a young woman -- can attain. They also met
Sheikh Ahmad Yasin, spiritual leader and founder of the
intifada, who was killed by an Israeli bomb last March.
They interviewed members of a terrorist cell and their
families and include a rare interview with a Hamas
suicide bomber whose bomb did not detonate. The book is
thoroughly documented with material never before available
to a general audience. A glossary and notes are included.

THE MASS PSYCHOLOGY OF FASCISM

First Edition, 1933 - Second Edition, 1934
First English Edition, 1946
CHAPTER VI
ORGANIZED MYSTICISM: THE INTERNATIONAL
ANTISEXUAL ORGANIZATION
1. THE INTEREST IN THE CHURCH
EXCERPT: "... Increasing economic pressure on the
masses of the working people is always accompanied
by an increasing pressure of compulsive morality.
This can have only one function: that of preventing
a rebellion of the working masses against the
economic pressure by accentuating their sexual
guilt feelings and their moral dependence on the
existing order. The question is, how does this take
place? Since permeation with mysticism is the most
essential mass-psychological groundwork for the
acceptance of fascist ideology, an understanding of
fascist ideology is not possible without a study of
the psychological effect of mysticism in general. ..."

Fascism Anyone?
by Laurence W. Britt
http://secularhumanism.org/library/fi/britt_23_2.htm
EXCERPT:
"Analysis of these seven regimes reveals fourteen
common threads that link them in recognizable patterns
of national behavior and abuse of power. These basic
characteristics are more prevalent and intense in some
regimes than in others, but they all share at least
some level of similarity:
1. Powerful and continuing expressions of nationalism.
2. Disdain for the importance of human rights.
3. Identification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying cause.
4. The supremacy of the military/avid militarism.
5. Rampant sexism.
6. A controlled mass media.
7. Obsession with national security.
8. Religion and ruling elite tied together.
9. Power of corporations protected.
10. Power of labor suppressed or eliminated.
11. Disdain and suppression of intellectuals and the arts.
12. Obsession with crime and punishment.
13. Rampant cronyism and corruption.
14. Fraudulent elections.
"Does any of this ring alarm bells? Of course not. After all,
this is America, officially a democracy with the rule of law,
a constitution, a free press, honest elections, and a
well-informed public constantly being put on guard against
evils. Historical comparisons like these are just exercises
in verbal gymnastics. Maybe, maybe not."

The Copycat Effect
How The Media and Popular Culture Trigger
The Mayhem in Tomorrow's Headlines
by Loren Coleman http://www.copycateffect.com/
Paraview Pocket Books - Simon and Schuster, 2004, 308 pages
[COPYCAT EFFECT BLOG! <http://copycateffect.blogspot.com/>]
According to Coleman, the media's attitude is "death sells... if it
bleeds, it leads." The author, who has written and lectured
extensively on the impact of media, mounts a convincing case
against newspapers, TV and books that sensationalize murders
and suicides, thus encouraging others to imitate destructive
crimes. He traces the problem's roots to Goethe's The Sorrows
of Young Werther (1774), which spotlighted a fellow who shot
himself over a failed romance and inspired many young men to
do the same. The novel encouraged widespread use of the
term "the Werther Effect" when referring to copycat catastrophes.
Coleman addresses Marilyn Monroe's 1962 death, pointing out
that thanks to extensive coverage of the star's passing, "the
suicide rate in the United States increased briefly by 12%."
Other subjects include the 2002 Washington-area snipers
John Muhammad and John Lee Malvo, whose actions spawned
numerous sniper killings; suicide clusters among fourth-century
Greeks; cult leaders [Jim Jones, Marshall Applewhite and
David Koresh], who attained gruesome glamour through
melodramatic press perusal; Jack the Ripper--who created
copycat killers from the late 1800s into the 20th century--and
today's suicide bombers. Although readers may feel there's little
they can do to muzzle media destructiveness, Coleman presents
his advice to with enough punch to intrigue the public and
possibly exert a minor influence on the press.

"Despite the inconsistencies, the bulk of evidence points strongly to a

He died 56 years ago...
He was born in Beacon, New York, on February 15, 1892.
After graduating from high school, he attended Dartmouth
College and Princeton University. Leaving Princeton in
1915, he then worked as both a financial reporter and
tobacco salesman until 1916, when he entered the banking
business full time in New York City.
At the onset of the First World War, he enlisted in the
United States Navy, and was later commissioned a naval
aviator and served both in this country and abroad.
He was discharged at the rank of Lieutenant in July 1919,
and reentered the banking business.
In June 1940, he accepted a post as Administrative Assistant
to President Roosevelt, serving as a liaison for the
President overseeing the National Defense Program.
Two months later, he was appointed to the newly-created
office of Under Secretary of the Navy. In this position,
he was in charge of a procurement and production program
that produced the world's largest Navy.
Iwas appointed Secretary of the Navy in may 1944. Then,
he took the oath of office as our country's first Secretary
of Defense in September 1947, and served in that capacity
until 1949 when failing health forced his resignation.
He died on May 22, 1949. He was ONLY Fifty Seven Years Young!
There's a bronze bust at the mall entrance to the pentagon
inscribed as follows:
"This memorial to James Forrestal, as a spontaneous
tribute to his lasting accomplishments in providing
for national security and his selfless devotion to
duty, was erected by thousands of his friends and
co-workers of all rank and stations."
Additionally, a life-size brass bust has for many years been
a fixture on the USS Forrestal quarterdeck. This bust serves
as a constant reminder of the legacy bestowed upon the ship
by his name, as well as the numerous contributions, in both
life and death, made to our Navy and our nation's defense
program. The USS Forrestal has long been and forever will be
proud to be carrying on the "First in Defense".

The "horrible truth" was known by only a very few persons:
They were indeed splendid little creatures, shaped like praying

than us by perhaps a billion years. Of the original group who were
the first to learn the "horrible truth", several committed suicide,
the most prominent of whom was Forrestal. Yes, he poll-vaulted
with a fine, triple back-flip to his psyops "death" from a 16th story

to this very day... Hhmm, except, that is, for these few, paltry,

carried to excess. It may be that there exists a way by
which a man may attain the highest spirituality and yet
keep this pleasure. Moreover, on a certain plane, the

burn; a man can no longer harm either himself or others
by virtue of the power that the transformation has

"Do we invent our moral absolutes
in order to make society workable?
Or are these enduring principles
expressed to us by some transcendent
or Godlike authority? Efforts to resolve
this conundrum have perplexed, sometimes
inflamed, our best minds for centuries, but
the natural sciences are telling us more and
more about the choices we make and our reasons
for making them." -- Edward O. Wilson
"As cognitive scientists have focused on the nature
of the mind, they have come to characterize it not
just as a physical entity, the brain at work, but
more specifically as a flood of scenarios. Whether
set in the past, present, or future, whether based
on reality or entirely fictive, these free-running
narratives are all churned out with equal facility.
The present is constructed from the avalanche of
sensations that pour into the wakened brain.
Working at a furious pace, the brain summons
memories to screen and make sense of the incoming
chaos. Only a minute part of the information is
selected for higher-order processing. From that
part, small segments are enlisted through symbolic
imagery to create the white-hot core of enlisted
activity we call the conscious mind."

Opening statement (Healer's Handbook) by Stewart Swerdlow :
"...imagine falling asleep in your own bed or favorite
chair to suddenly find yourself flying at incredible
speeds over a strange land. The sky is a different color
with multiple suns. Hieroglyphic symbols and geometric
shapes now appear, glowing in various colors and arranging
themselves in strange experiences. Information pulsates
through your entire being. For a brief instant, you
experience an all-pervading knowing. Everything makes
sense and you feel absolute joy. You have just been
introduced to the World of Hyperspace - the region of
consciousness which symbolizes the deepest level of
creation and from which all mental and physical
conditions emanate.
'The Healer's Handbook: A Journey Into Hyperspace'
penetrates the secrets of creation through the
mysterious principles of DNA, the biological interface
between spirit and matter which determines our actual
physical characteristics and maladies. Under the guidance
of Stewart Swerdlow, a gifted mentalist and linguist who
has identified the most basic archetypal proteins
corresponding precisely to universal archetypal symbols
which exist in a region of our thoughts identified as
Hyperspace. Change the symbols and you change the DNA as
well as the physical condition.
'The Healer's Handbook: A Journey into Hyperspace' shows
you how, and includes a vast panorama of healing techniques
and supplementary information including: dream and numerical
analysis, communication with the departed, color healing,
prayer, and meditation techniques, as well as healing for
the mentally ill and developmentally disabled.
Discover the keys to the new millenium by learning a new
language: the language of hyperspace."

Essential Background

http://unfccc.int/essential_background/items/2877.php
Excerpt: "... The principal reason for the mounting
thermometer is a century and a half of
industrialization: the burning of ever-greater
quantities of oil, gasoline, and coal, the cutting
of forests, and certain farming methods.
These activities have increased the amount of
'greenhouse gases' in the atmosphere, especially
carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide. Such gases
occur naturally and are critical for life on earth;
they keep some of the sun's warmth from reflecting
back into space, and without them the world would be
a cold and barren place. But in augmented and
increasing quantities, these gases are pushing the
global temperature to artificially high levels and
altering the climate. The 1990s appear to have been
the warmest decade of the last Millennium, and 1998
the warmest year." [...]

In a three-part series for Morning Edition,
NPR's Richard Harris spoke to three prominent
scientists about their views on global warming.
Part 1: Richard Alley, Penn State University Glaciologist
Richard Alley discovered something 10 years ago that
made him worry the Earth's climate could suddenly shift,
and it changed his life. It was a two-mile long ice core,
pulled up from the center of Greenland. It contained
bubbles of air that reveal what the Earth's atmosphere
was like over a period of 100,000 years. The ice core
showed that at one point, in as little as 10 years, the
global climate had drastically changed. Soon after that
discovery, climate change became a personal crusade
for Alley.
Part 2: John Christy, University of Alabama Climatologist
Last fall, the Senate debated a bill that would have
created regulations to combat global warming.
Sen. James Inhofe [R-OK] led the opposition, and went
so far as to call global warming a hoax. He based that
statement, in part, on the work of John Christy, a
professor and director of the Earth System Science Center
at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.
Christy is a respected climatologist, but he's also a
maverick who argues that global warming isn't a problem
worth worrying about. His major contribution has been
to analyze millions of measurements from weather
satellites, looking for a global temperature trend.
He's found almost no sign of global warming in the
satellite data, and is confident that forecasts of
warming up to 10 degrees in the next century are wrong.
Part 3: Wallace Broecker, Columbia University Oceanographer
When Wallace Broecker started his career in science more
than 50 years ago, no one was worried that humans could
change the climate. Broecker, now an oceanographer with
Columbia University, has helped to reverse that. And he's
using his considerable stature to advocate a far-out scheme
to slow global warming: giant machines would absorb carbon
dioxide from the atmosphere, and the concentrated gas could
be either pumped deep underground or turned into carbon-rich
rocks. This certainly wouldn't be cheap, but he says it
would be easier than social engineering.

"The term "tree farming" was first used in the
1940's to introduce the public to sustainable
forestry terminology they could easily understand.
Farming implies continual stewardship and
production of goods year after year. By linking
the term "farming" with trees, foresters could
communicate the concept of sustainable production
of forest products over time. Tree Farming implies
commitment to the land and was the philosophical
opposite of the 'cut-out and get-out' philosophy
of the early 20th century."

psychedelic raconteur Terence McKenna, supply their
own irony, but we readers can supply it even if the
author intended none. We can read the Upanishads,
Genesis, Dionysius the Areopagite, and the
neurotheological suppositions of Andrew Newberg just
as we read Blake or Borges or Emily Dickinson.
Viewed ironically, even the most fantastical ghost stories,
including the old stories of religion, can serve a purpose.
Whether they postulate superintelligent clouds of gas,
insectoid aliens in hyperspace, a demiurge with
multiple-personality disorder, or a loving God who for
inscrutable reasons makes us suffer, well-told ghost stories
can remind us of the unfathomable mystery at the heart of
things. Our creation myths and eschatologies, our imaginings
of ultimate beginnings and ends, can also help us discover our
deepest fears and desires. But even the most sophisticated
theologies and theories should never be mistaken for ultimate
truth. What Voltaire said centuries ago still holds, and will
always hold: 'It is truly extravagant to define God, angels,
and minds, and to know precisely why God defined the world,
when we do not know why we move our arms at will. Doubt is not
a very agreeable state, but certainty is a ridiculous one.'"

Gamma Ray Bursts, Gravity Waves, and Earthquakes
Was the December 26, 2004 Indonesian Earthquake and Tsunami
Caused by a Stellar Explosion 45,000 light years away?
http://www.etheric.com/GalacticCenter/GRB.html
On December 26, 2004 a magnitude 9.3 earthquake occurred
in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Malaysia.
It caused a powerful tsunami which devastated coastal
regions of many countries leaving over 240,000 people
either dead or missing. It was the worst tsunami to
affect this area since the explosion of Krakatoa.
The earthquake that produced it was so strong that
it exceeded by a factor of 10 the next most powerful
earthquake to occur in the past 25 years.
[] Indonesian 9.3 Richter earthquake:
December 26, 2004 at 00 hours 58 minutes (Universal Time)
It is then with some alarm that we learn that just 44.6 hours
later gamma ray telescopes orbiting the Earth picked up the
arrival of the brightest gamma ray burst ever recorded!
[] Gamma ray burst arrival:
December 27, 2004 at 21 hours 36 minutes (Universal Time)
..... gravity waves would very likely be associated with
gamma ray bursts, and they would be expected to precede them.
In his 1983 Ph.D. dissertation
http://www.etheric.com/LaVioletteBooks/EUF-CD.html ,
Paul LaViolette called attention to terrestrial dangers
of Galactic core explosions, pointing out that the arrival
of the cosmic ray superwave they produced would be signaled
by a high intensity gamma ray burst which would also generate
EMP effects (e.g., see Page 3:
http://www.etheric.com/GalacticCenter/Galactic3.html ).
He also noted that a strong gravity wave might be expected to
travel forward at the forefront of this superwave and might be
the first indication of a superwave's arrival. He pointed out
that such gravity waves could induce substantial tidal forces
on the Earth during their passage which could induce earthquakes
and cause polar axis torquing effects.
In his book Earth Under Fire
http://www.etheric.com/LaVioletteBooks/Book-EUF.html
(as well as in his dissertation), he presents evidence showing
that the superwave that passed through the solar system around
14,200 years ago had triggered supernova explosions as it swept
through the Galaxy. Among these was the Vela and Crab
supernova explosions whose explosion dates align with this
superwave event horizon. He points out that these explosions
could be explained if a gravity wave accompanied this superwave,
producing tidal disturbances which triggered unstable stars as
it passed through.
He wrote at a time when gamma ray bursts had just begun
to be discovered, and when no one was concerned with them as
potential terrestrial hazards. In recent years scientific
opinion has come around to adopt LaViolette's concern, as
can be seen in news articles discussing the SGR 1806-20 gamma
ray outburst, e.g., see Space.com news story. They note that
if this gamma ray burst had been as close as 10 light years
it would have completely destroyed to ozone layer.
By comparison, the Galactic superwaves LaViolette has
postulated to have been generated as a result of an outburst
of our Galaxy's core and to have impacted the Solar system
during the last ice age would have impacted the solar system
with a cosmic ray electron volley having an energy intensity
100 times greater than this hypothetical 10 light year
distant stellar gamma ray burst. SGR 1806-20 has been
estimated to have a stellar progenitor mass of 150 solar
masses, whereas our Galactic core has a mass of 2.6 million
solar masses. In its present active phase, SGR 1806-20 is
estimated to have a luminosity 40 million times that of the
Sun, whereas during its active phase the Galactic center
could reach luminosities of 400 trillion times that of the
Sun. So it is understandable that if the Galactic center
were to erupt, it would produce a gamma ray burst and a
gravity wave far more intense than the outburst from
this star.
If anything, the December 27, 2004 gamma ray burst
shows us that we do not live in a peaceful celestial
environment. And if the December 26th earthquake was
in fact part of this same celestial event, we see that
this stellar eruption has claimed many lives. For this
reason, it is important that we prepare for the
possibility of even stronger events in the future,
the arrival of superwaves issuing from the core of
our Galaxy. Like the December 26th earthquake and the
December 27th gamma ray burst, the next superwave
will arrive unexpectedly. It will take us by surprise.

..... superwave-induced changes in the Sun will cause

Solar flares could increase by factors of many
hundred times, covering the Sun, as cosmic dust invades
the solar system and the Earth's atmosphere, initiating
a permanent, everyday, day-long darkness along with
great heat from dramatically increased infrared radiation.
This heat will initiate great drying, conflagrations,
sweeping the planet -- grass, trees, homes and forests
will be burned -- while great ocean evaporation proceeds
to return as torrential downpours then the snow and ice
of a New Ice Age (this in fact seems to be the mechanism
initiating Ice Ages -- they begin with, are precipitated
by, cosmic dust brought in by Galactic Core superwave

mountain glaciers and the ice caps will undergo

devastating floods.
Clearly drastic advances in the sciences of aeronautics

TAIPEI MAYOR URGES TAIWAN, CHINA TO STOP PROVOKING EACH OTHER
2005/03/04 18:28:11
Tokyo, March 4 (CNA) Taipei Mayor Ma Ying-jeou called on
Taiwan and China Friday to stop making provocative moves
so as not to intensify cross-Taiwan Strait tension.
Addressing a Tokyo gathering with a group of Taiwanese
expatriates in Japan, Ma said the government in Taiwan
should drop the ideological pursuit of changing the
official name of the country and drafting a new
constitution, which he said will impede the development
of the island. The government should instead concentrate
on efforts to improve the economy, law and order, and
national development, Ma said. He also said he believes
last week's meeting between President Chen Shui-bian and
opposition People First Party Chairman James Soong will
be helpful to Taiwan's political stability. Chen declared
in the meeting that he has no plan to change the country's
name during his term and that his planned constitutional
reforms will not involve changes to national sovereignty,
territory or cross-strait status quo. Ma said it is
incomprehensible as to why Beijing decided to enact an
anti-secession law targeting Taiwan after the victory in
last year's legislative elections of the "pan-blue
alliance" of the opposition Kuomintang (KMT),
People First Party and New Party, which opposes
independence for Taiwan. He suggested that both sides of
the strait stop such provocative moves and enhance
exchanges to build up mutual trust. Meanwhile, the mayor,
who is also a vice chairman of the KMT, said he will
start campaigning for his bid to run for the party's
chairmanship after registering his candidacy in late March.
He said taking part in the chairmanship election is not
necessarily related to the question of whether he will run
for the 2008 presidency. Ma arrived in Japan earlier this
week for a four-day visit. He is scheduled to meet Tokyo
Governor Shintaro Ishihara and Yokohama Mayor Hiroshi
Nakada later in the day. (By Amy Huang and Y.F. Low) END

China Motor aims to sell 200,000 cars in Taiwan, China in 2005
Date: 2005/03/02 12:36:14
SOURCE: CENS
http://news.cens.com/php/getnews.php?file=/news/2005/03/02/20050302016.htm&daily=1
Taiwan's China Motor Corp. (in partnership with Mitsubishi
Motors of Japan) has set a combined annual sales goal of
200,000 automobiles in Taiwan and China this year.
China Motor's sales goal across the Taiwan Strait involves
cars made and sold by its main subsidiary South East Motor
Corp., a 50-50 venture with the Fujian Automobile Group of
China to produce car models redesigned by China Motor.
China Motor president Huang Wen-cheng said that Mitsubishi
has promised to provide a new car model per year to his firm
to strengthen its competitiveness in Taiwan and make it a
major exporter of Mitsubishi cars.
Mitsubishi has authorized South East to use Mitsubishi logos
on passenger cars and commercial vehicles produced by the
Chinese automaker, which is expected to become Mitsubishi's
largest production/marketing base in China.
According to Huang, China Motor sold 91,300 automobiles in
Taiwan, generating record revenue of NT$56.28 billion
(US$1.79 billion at US$1: NT$31.5). This year, the president
claimed, his company expects to sell over 90,000 automobiles
on the island. China Motor has planned to debut some new
vehicles this year, including a version-change Savrin minivan
with a new 2,400cc engine and a new Freeca commercial van
model with a newly developed chassis derived from Mitsubishi's
Challenger sport utility vehicle (SUV). China Motor also plans
to introduce a popular Mitsubishi mini-car model, the Colt Plus,
for local production in Taiwan in the second half of next year,
thus developing a more comprehensive product line.
China Motor registered pretax earnings of NT$5.76 billion
(US$182.86 million) in 2004, lower than in 2003 as a result of
lower-than-expected profits from South East, whose auto sales
were undermined by the policy adopted by the Chinese central
government to dampen its overheated economy.
South East, however, sold 5,500 cars in China in January this
year, up about 30 percent from a monthly average recorded in
the second half of 2004. South East's production lines currently
are fully occupied to fill orders, with workers required to work
overtime to boost output.
In Mitsubishi's restructuring plan, the Japanese automaker
expressed willingness to strengthen its cooperation ties with
China Motor to jointly develop the huge mainland market and
agreed to allowed South East to use the three-diamond logo on
its products.
According to China Motor, it will introduce the Veryca mini
commercial van and Galant Grunder medium sedan models to South
East for production in the mainland. Huang estimated that South
East would sell 80,000 to 100,000 cars this year.

SINGAPORE (Reuters) --
http://edition.cnn.com/2005/BUSINESS/03/01/asia.stox.reut/
Asian stocks rose on Tuesday, defying weakness on Wall Street,
as strong commodity prices lifted resource shares, but
disappointing earnings from bank HSBC dragged Hong Kong's
Hang Seng Index lower.
U.S. crude oil futures stayed close to $52 a barrel as more
freezing weather hit the northeast of the United States,
driving up heating oil prices.
Japan's Nikkei stock average rose to an eight-month closing
high and the yen strengthened on unemployment and household
spending data that added to a string of upbeat news on the
economy.
Gains in Japanese trading firm Marubeni Corp., which jumped
4.46 percent, and rivals on strength in commodities prices
helped the Nikkei climb 0.34 percent to 11,780.53, its fourth
straight day of gains.
"All the data have come out strong," said Jake Moore, forex
trategist at Barclays Capital in Tokyo. "The numbers have
been better than they have been for a few months, so it looks
like the yen is set for more strength."
By 0637 GMT, the euro bought $1.3194 after skidding briefly to
near $1.3170. The dollar was around 104.60 yen after falling
to around 104.40 after the data.
Japan unemployment steady
Japan's unemployment rate was unchanged at 4.5 percent in
January, its lowest level since 1999, and household spending
surged 2.6 percent, the biggest rise in six months.
Investors were cautious on Japanese fixed income, with yields
on 10-year government debt jumping to a near-four-month high
after a rise in U.S. Treasury yields to their highest level
so far this year.
Traders said a warning to the market from the Bank of Japan
on Monday that the era of free money would not last for ever
was pushing up yields.
The yield on the 10-year cash JGB rose to 1.505 percent,
a level last hit in early November.
The dollar's climb against the euro gathered pace after data
showed a swelling in Australia's current account gap.
The record gap sent the Australian dollar tumbling more than
half a percent to $0.7871 and sparked broader buying of
the U.S. currency.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index lost 1.11 percent in morning
trade, led by a 2.62 percent slide in HSBC, the biggest
stock on the index.
HSBC, the world's second-biggest bank, posted 2004 profit at
the low end of forecasts and ruled out big deals in the
United States and South Korea to focus on expanding its
own business.
Taiwan stocks jumped 0.84 percent to a fresh 10-month high on
hopes for easing political tensions with China. Australian
stocks gained 0.3 percent as strong crude and gold prices
lifted resource shares. Singapore was up 0.4 percent.
Other Asian markets were mixed, with the MSCI index of
non-Japan Asian shares slipping 0.21 percent from 7-year
highs hit on Monday. Markets in Seoul were closed.
The decline in the MSCI index followed falls of around
0.7 percent on both the Dow Jones industrial average
and the Nasdaq Composite Index in New York.
NYMEX crude oil was down 14 cents at $51.61 a barrel on thin
volume and spot gold traded at $434.25, off a 2005 high of
$437.55 hit on Monday.

BRIAN LAMB, HOST:
Thomas P.M. Barnett, what is "The Pentagon's New Map"?
THOMAS BARNETT, AUTHOR,
THE PENTAGON'S NEW MAP
"Well, what the book tries to do, really, is nothing less than
to enunciate a successor to the cold war strategy of
containment, in effect, to define the true sources of mass
violence and terrorism within the global community, so as to
facilitate, at first, their containment through diplomatic and
military means, but ultimately, their eradication through
economic and social integration.
"And the mantra I use in the book is that it's disconnectedness
that defines danger. If you think about globalization as a
process of integration, then the definitions of crisis we now
face, like a 9/11, are instances where connectivity is disrupted.
And when you think about it in those terms and you start casting
what it means to wage a global war on terrorism within this
larger process of globalization spread, you begin to see how a
Bush administration can say, in effect, to take down a Saddam is
to be part of -- logically, is located within a larger
globalization -- or, excuse me -- global war on terrorism
because, in effect, what we're dealing with is those instances
where you're going to find very disconnected societies.
"And it's in that disconnectedness that we tend to find the
violence and the bad treatment. And in many ways, what you're
waging war against with a bin Laden is a guy who looks to
take a big chunk of humanity off line from the globalization
process and in stall authoritarian regimes based on his
particular definition of what a -- a good life is led." [...]

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
David Walker, comptroller general of the United States,
can see the future, and it scares the hell out of him:
the United States of America's public finances are a
shambles. They're getting rapidly worse. And if
something major isn't done soon to solve the country's
intractable budget problems, the world will face an
economic shakeup unlike anything ever seen before.
[...]
He cringes when he hears prominent economists warning
about a financial "Armageddon," but he makes no bones
about the fact the situation is dire. "I don't like
using words that are overly inflammatory," he says,
leaning forward in his chair. "At the same time,
I think it is critically important that the American
people, as well as their elected representatives, get
a better understanding of just how serious our
situation is."
THE NUMBERS are staggering -- a US$43-trillion hole
in America's public finances that's getting worse
every day. And the stakes are almost inconceivable
for a generation of politicians and voters raised in
relative prosperity, who've never known severe
economic hardship. But that plush North American
lifestyle to which we've all grown accustomed has
been bought on credit, and the bill is rapidly
nearing its due date. If the United States can't
find a way to pay up, the results will spill beyond
national borders, spreading economic misery far and
wide. In Canada, the country whose financial
well-being is most tightly tied to trade with the
U.S., there wouldn't be a single region or industry
left untouched by a fiscal shock south of the border.

HOW DID THE U.S. GET INTO THIS MESS?
In January 2001, George W. Bush took over leadership
of a nation that was on its most solid financial
footing in decades, thanks to years of strong
economic growth and a booming stock market.
That very month, the Congressional Budget Office
projected that the federal government could expect
US$5.6 trillion in surpluses over the coming 10 years.
The key political issue of the day was how to spend
the windfall. Bush's team was determined to return the
money to the voters in the form of massive and
widespread tax relief. What the world didn't know was
that this surplus cash was largely illusory, the
result of faulty bookkeeping. [...]
[...]
Stephen Roach, chief economist at Morgan Stanley, is an
outspoken critic of U.S. fiscal policy and has long warned
that America's increasing reliance on foreign lending puts
it at risk of a major economic shock. A sudden drop in the
dollar could trigger, among other things, a stock market
crash, a plunge in the real estate market, a deep recession,
or all of the above. "There's nothing stable about America's
dependence on the kindness of strangers," Roach wrote in a
report last summer. "The funding of America is an accident
waiting to happen."
At a recent meeting with fund managers in Boston, Roach
said he believes there is a 90 per cent chance the country's
rampant borrowing will eventually lead to a disaster for the
economy. Others, including former U.S. treasury secretary
Lawrence Summers and former president Bill Clinton, use less
inflammatory language but have also warned that the size of
U.S. deficits could compromise the nation's foreign policy
and trade and security goals. For example, how long can
Washington stick to its commitment to defend Taiwan against
Chinese aggression when it borrows so heavily from China to
support the American economy?

Commentary: The buck, one day, may stop at Asian central banks
By William Pesek Jr. Bloomberg News
Thursday, March 3, 2005
http://www.iht.com/articles/2005/03/02/bloomberg/sxpesek.html
Asian countries are rolling the dice with an enterprise that
may alter the complexion of the global financial system,
affecting powerful central banks on the other side of
the world.
It's called the "Asian Bellagio Group," a name that is
borrowed from the European Bellagio Group, a gathering of
academics started in the 1960s. The Asian group includes
officials from Japan, China, South Korea and Southeast Asian
nations who met in Bangkok last week to discuss the
U.S. dollar's slide.
The group is a formidable crowd, considering that it holds
well in excess of $1.1 trillion of U.S. Treasuries. In fact,
if the Federal Reserve chairman, Alan Greenspan, is wondering
why his recent rate increases are not working out as planned,
he need only look to the East.
Greenspan recently referred to a "conundrum," whereby
U.S. Treasury yields fell in the face of rising official rates.
Trends here explain why: Asia's vast purchases of Treasuries,
which reduce U.S. yields, are rendering the mighty Fed impotent
in its efforts to cool the U.S. economy.
[...]
Well, the idea has come full circle. Asia is getting fed up
with its reliance on the dollar. Besides, economies here are
becoming more and more exposed to Chinese demand, and less
so to that of U.S. consumers. Leaders in Asia are also
concerned about their lack of clout in Western circles.
And so, Asia now seems ready to create such an institution
to serve its interests.
What does that mean for Greenspan? Asian central banks are
already making things difficult for the Federal Reserve as
it tries to slow U.S. growth. There are two ways in which
Asian efforts at monetary cooperation could complicate
things even further.
One, massive sales by the region's monetary authorities
could cause chaos in the U.S. economy as the dollar
plunges and Treasury yields surge. Two, Asian cooperation
could keep the current global system in place, hampering
the Fed's efforts to cap U.S. inflation.
Asian citizens are increasingly aware that their governments
are funding the U.S. way of life. Capital flowing from East
to West reduces incentives for the United States to address
its worsening current account and budget deficits.
The previously symbiotic relationship between the United
States and Asia is looking more like unhealthy and
unsustainable co-dependence. Asia worsens its own addiction
to export-led growth by feeding the U.S. appetite for
imported capital to finance its economy, and vice versa.
Asian leaders are justifiably concerned that they are
getting the short end of the arrangement.

Sun Worship!
http://umbra.nascom.nasa.gov/eit/images/Sun_and_earth.jpg
Where did Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism,
and others like Zorostrianism, etc., etc., all emerge from?
The Middle and Near East, the vast region ruled from Sumer at
one time and still dominated by that knowledge base and belief
system in the thousands of years that followed Sumer's demise.
The Sumerian story of King Sargon is a classic case.
They said that his mother floated him in a basket of rushes on
the river and he was found by a member of the Sumerian royal
family who brought him up as their own. The Hebrews, or rather
their manipulating priests, the Levites, later stole this
ancient story from the Sumerian accounts and used it in the
fable of their invented character known as Moses.
The Old Testament is founded on Sumerian accounts, edited and
rewritten as required, to create a manufactured history and
religion called Judaism. The New Testament is based on symbolic
stories repeated over and over in the thousands of years before
its creation and based on the Sumerian (and Golden Age) religion
of Sun worship. The New Testament texts, in turn, created a
manufactured religion and history called Christianity.
Two prison-religions and two make-believe histories for the
price of one book. What more do you want? Great deal. Sold by
the billion. King Sargon was a major Sun worshipper and these
rulers of the Sumer Empire were given the title, "Son of the
Sun." To the Sumerians, the Sun was a symbol of "God" and from
this title Son of the Sun later came the idea of a Son of God.
Sumerian emporers were also often known as "The One Lord." [--D.I.]

In The Christ Conspiracy, classical scholar Acharya S takes

Internal Displacement:
A Global Overview of Trends and Developments in 2003
http://www.idpproject.org/global_overview.htm
With nearly 25 million people uprooted within their own
country by conflicts and human rights violations, internal
displacement is one of the great human tragedies of our time.
Yet the global crisis of internal displacement, which affects
52 countries across all continents, has unfolded largely
unnoticed by the general public. International public attention
continues to focus on refugees, i.e. people who crossed
international borders after fleeing their homes.
In comparison, internally displaced people (IDPs) have
received much less attention, although their number is nearly
twice as high, and their plight is often even worse than that
of refugees.
Among the millions of people newly displaced in 2003, many
were deliberately targeted by their own governments. In several
cases, the protection of displaced people was undermined in the
context of counter-insurgency campaigns intensified under the
guise of the "war on terror". Others became victims of attacks
by rebel groups or were forced to flee communal violence.
Little tangible progress was made in 2003 with regard to the
provision of protection and assistance to internally displaced
people. With few exceptions, national authorities continued to
be unable or unwilling to fully meet their obligation under
international law to protect and assist people displaced within
their countries. Neither has the international humanitarian
community made the necessary resources available to address the
needs of IDPs; nearly a third of IDPs are fully or partially
ignored by the UN. The UN system has yet to create the capacity
needed for the effective coordination of its response to internal
displacement.
Millions of newly displaced people
In 2003, more than three million people were newly displaced, the
majority by civil wars and inter-communal violence in Africa. Some
700,000 people were uprooted in the east of the Democratic Republic
of Congo (DRC) alone, following a flare-up of violence in the power
vacuum left by the withdrawal of foreign occupation troops from
neighbouring countries. Intensified fighting in Uganda's civil war
forced an equally high number of people to flee their homes. And as
Sudan was heading towards a peace agreement between the government
and the rebel-controlled south, a new conflict broke out in the
western Darfur region, displacing more than half a million people.
Other countries with major new displacements include Liberia,
Colombia, the Central African Republic, the Philippines
and Indonesia.
At the end of 2003, Sudan was the country hosting the largest
internally displaced population, some 4 million people.
The Democratic Republic of Congo (3 million), Colombia (2.9 million),
Uganda (1.2 million), Iraq (1.1 million) and Burma (up to one million)
are also among the countries with the highest numbers of internally
displaced people. ...

Quest to figure out why mammals are warm-blooded led to new theory
By Carolyn Y. Johnson, Globe Correspondent | February 22, 2005
In the still unsolved mystery of how the dinosaurs died, there's
a new suspect -- fungus.
http://www.boston.com/news/globe/health_science/articles/2005/02/22/were_the_dinosaurs_done_in_by_fungus/
After a meteor slammed into the Earth 65 million years ago,
"the great dying" began, decimating life in the oceans and
killing off the dinosaurs -- with mysteriously little effect
on mammals. Conjecture over what did in the reptiles has
long fascinated everyone from school children to
paleontologists, but a new theory suggests that a less
earth-shaking possibility could have played a role.
"The forests went out. The fungi proliferated, and the
Earth became a giant compost pile. An enormous number
of spores were released," said Dr. Arturo Casadevall,
an infectious disease researcher who proposed last
month that air thick with fungal spores after the meteor
hit could have overwhelmed animals' immune systems,
causing sickness and death. If he's right, the large
numbers of warm-blooded mammals and birds that survived
the mass extinction might have had a natural
advantage -- body temperatures too hot for fungal
infections to take hold.
"It's just a beautifully creative suggestion,"
said Nicholas Money, a mycologist, or mold
expert, from Miami University of Ohio and author
of "Carpet Monsters and Killer Spores:
A Natural History of Toxic Mold."
Casadevall, of Albert Einstein College of New York,
laid out his suggestion in this month's issue of
Fungal Genetics and Biology when considering a much
larger question: "I ask you, why are we so hot?"
He has long been troubled by the lives of warm-blooded
animals, who must live a virtual food-finding mission
because they burn so many calories each day just
heating their bodies. Cold-blooded animals, on the
other hand, need only eat once every few days.
Where, he wondered, is the advantage in a life of
constant scurrying, foraging, and saving up food
for the winter?
That question coincided with another puzzling trend:
Fungal infections rarely give mammals more than a
mildly irritating case of athlete's foot or a yeast
infection but are often deadly to plants, fish,
and insects.
At a crucial time in natural history, the world's
1.5 million species of molds, yeasts, rusts, and
mushrooms, also might have been a vehicle for
natural selection.
In the aftermath of the meteor that carved out the
Chicxulub crater on the Yucatan Peninsula, the
Earth probably was a cool, shady place.
Researchers last year discovered fossil evidence
of a post-collision "fungal spike," and in a
world dense with potentially pathogenic fungi,
warm-blooded animals might have had a
unique advantage.
In such a situation, "every warm-blooded
generation has a little advantage, and when
the dust settles and the sun comes out again . . .
the warm-blooded find themselves in a world with a
lot more space," Casadevall said.
Other evidence shows that the mass die-off didn't
occur immediately after the collision, but about
300,000 years afterward -- raising the possibility
that an intermediary factor, like fungi, could
have played a part.
The trouble with the theory, experts said, is
that no one is sure whether the dinosaurs were
warm- or cold-blooded. Smaller cold-blooded
animals like turtles, lizards, snakes, and frogs
were able to weather the mass extinction,
indicating that size, not body temperature, may
have been a deciding factor.
And, while there is wide agreement that a massive
meteor struck the Earth 65 million years ago,
other theories suggest that increased volcanic
activity could have played a role in
the extinction.
Stephen McLoughlin, a geologist from Queensland
University of Technology in Australia who
discovered evidence of the long-ago fungal
explosion, said the spores that his group
studied, which were preserved in a layer of
coal in New Zealand, probably did not
harm animals.
He stated in an e-mail that he finds Casadevall's
idea "intriguing" but, "while this may have been
the case, it is virtually impossible to test."
Nonetheless, the main idea behind Casadevall's
research -- that deadly fungi could have helped
establish the age of the mammals -- is timely.
Fungal infections are now emerging as an
important force in nature again: Fungal diseases
also may be contributing to the worldwide decline
of the coral reefs, and appear to play a poorly
understood role in the steady decline
of amphibians.
A study last year reported that a third of all
amphibian species worldwide are facing
extinction -- and while climate change,
pollution, and habitat loss are all thought
to play a role, many of the extinct and
endangered frog species have been infected
with the chtyrid fungus, which may interfere
with their delicate, breathable skin, produce
a toxin, or something else.
"Like everything in life, it wasn't just
one thing" that killed the dinosaurs,
Casadevall said. In the case of the amphibians,
"you can imagine [the culprit] could be a
weakening of their immunity caused by a fungus."

MOUNT ST. HELENS, Washington -- Mount St. Helens has
shown an upswing in volcanic activity over the past
two days, U.S. volcano scientists reported.
Small collapses of hot rock from the south end of the
lava dome -- which is growing at a rate of about
15 feet per day -- have sent several ash clouds upward
and over the rim of the mile-wide crater, according to
U.S. Geological Survey scientists at Johnston Ridge
Observatory, about five miles northeast of the volcano.

[With apology to 'Martin Niemoeller']
With insect colonies, like Bees, one could say that the
individual members are programmed: "Service To Others",
while collectively, the hive as a single unit is unwavering:
"Service To Self." Red Ants don't particularly care much
for Black Ants, and neither is particulary invested in the
evolutionary welfare of the Termites. Vegetation, on the
other hand, seems to be entirely "Service To Self", so much
so that a plant will choke out other plants for the choice
real estate. And yet they all co-exist in spite of their
programming for the greater good, which in this case is
simply defined as being a continuity in fauna and flora.
Then there are the Higher Mammals.... and then the Humans....
Everybody is eating everybody else, a mishmash of energetic
enfoldments and entanglements. How in the world could there
possibly be ANY Free Will in any of this?! Are we Humans not
insect-like, exhibiting a degree of quasi-individual
"Service To Others" to collectively facilitate a
"Service To Self" greater continuity of
socio-bio-technological function?
________________________________________________
March 24, 1999:
"...we don't actually have any 'Free Will'.
The notion of Free Will was implanted in us ages ago by
religious mindcontrolling zealots, who also had no Free Will.
It's an exponential kind of illusion. Don't worry too much
about it... but considering you have no Free Will, you'll
worry about it just as much as the slow inexorable evolution
of the universe deems it appropriate according to a near
infinite set of preexisting precursors, and so on...
[Naturally, I could be completely wrong, and no doubt am
wrong, though, at best, 'Free Will' is very limited and
tightly bound within 'yes-no/off-on' type of choices.
The endocrine system, interfaced with cerebral mentations
and stored memories pretty much calls the shots on most of
those choices though.]"

you should do jewelry insteaqd
it is the color and shape of the stone in this earring. you would
never attribute blue to it, and probably it is more brilliant than
this stone in the picture for two reasons. it has regular faceting
but almost looks like a different cut, i think it might be called a
radiant cut. so it has more sparkle than a regular faceted stone.
It sort of has vertical lines that go into the point. but that is
natural and inside the stone, not cut in by anyone. the drop of
green is too small too see, but it makes the lavender stand out more
than most lavenders i have seen
it is not a large stone. you said you wanted to keep to small ones.
and that you wanted a lavender, not a blue. you will have to get a
good blue yourself because those are very expensive.
6 mms is really small but not too small. i would make it for a
pinky ring. sure you can bezel set it but ask the jeweler if that is
the best bet. i would go with semibezel set which gives you the
perfect combo of bezel and open for light to pass through
i think bezel setting makes a stone looks smaller so I wouldn't
recommend a full bezel
a stone HAS to be flawless to take advantage of bezel.
try here for some ideas , the first one is semibezel set
you probably won't want diamonds so i would put it in something like
