That being said,

Judy Wood is compromised.

Check this out:

Hard to listen to, but also telling.

I'd guess that Wood was descended upon and driven around the bend after coming forth with a few good insights. At this point, she's completely lost the thread and is currently playing the part of a managed tar ball. No mastery over herself. A sad, but all too common story. People catch hold of the truth, get a bit of public exposure and they either die in car wrecks, or if they're mentally unstable and don't have a strong support network, they get mind-raped and redirected for cointelpro purposes. Wood sounds like she's about two inches from total breakdown in that interview, and a good portion of the material in her book is just plain wrong. A great way to bury those insights which do have value.

An object lesson in the MIC damage control systems at work.

Also, Santilli is one creepy dude.

`Assange has previously accepted that his uncompromising commitment to transparency might ultimately cause him and his fellow WikiLeaks insiders to get "blood on our hands."'

`I asked Assange if he would refrain from releasing information that he knew might get someone killed. He said that he had instituted a “harm-minimization policy,” whereby people named in certain documents were contacted before publication, to warn them, but that there were also instances where the members of WikiLeaks might get “blood on our hands.”' link

The guy's name is Greenbaum and he wants to control what you say and think?

Well I guess that's appropriate.

I hate how stuff gets buried on Google. Type in "Greenbaum Speech" a week from now, and you'll get this idiot's blog and the issue of "Free Speech" coming up instead of this.

It seems that Gnostics vary in their belief from individual to individual. The lack of consensus on what Gnosticism is leads me to believe that people are making it up as they go along.

I didn't choose to be a Christian because it made sense to me or seemed like the best choice among other religions. I chose Christianity because I recognized a number of divine interventions in my life that led me to the Christian church. Even though I don't agree 100% with any pastor, I believe that people that have "given their lives to Jesus" share a common bond with myself. I believe that God communicates with me through the Holy Spirit and the bible has given me a baseline that allows me differentiate the Holy Spirit from other voices.

If Gnosticism works for you then that's great. I'm curious because I'm interested in new trends in religion. Despite the fact that most Christian churches push hard the need to "spread the gospel", I'm good with just being responsible for myself and my family. Trying to represent God to others is fraught with peril.

There's a forum here where these ideas are explored at length, with lots of reference material noted in case you are truly interested.

The basic idea is that Christ was teaching a philosophy wherein, "The Kingdom of Heaven is Within" (or to that effect) meant to be interpreted as the work required to grow and purify the soul is done through critical self-examination, looking at hard truths and then working to confront and understand those automatic aspects of ourselves. The idea is linked to the notion of alchemy, except that making gold from base metals through the continual application of heating and cooling is a metaphor for the purification of the soul through repeated heatings and coolings; --The heat coming from the 'friction' of exposing oneself to life and truth without any buffers of self-calming lies about what we truly are.

The Gnostic movement and all its texts were destroyed early on in the development of the church, most likely because it encouraged individuals to become self-aware by looking inward and doing the hard work of self-refinement. It's very difficult to control people who are self-aware rather than dreamers who look outward and place their wishful thinking with an external god and an external 'savior'.

All in all, this approach to reaching 'heaven' is 180 degrees different from that sold to the masses through the formal religion which was locked into place back in the early days of Christian monotheism.

And, no, I strongly doubt any Jesuit would sign off on such a scheme. He'd lose his pay check and benefits, after all.

If one is to believe what can easily be found all over the internet, the 'Church' of Scientology is simply a criminal organisation hiding behind a 'religious' facade. If you read about L. Ron Hubbard here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L_Ron_Hubbard, and compare it to what you can learn from this book http://www.cassiopaea.org/cass/sanity_1.PdF written by Hervey Cleckley http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hervey_Cleckley, I think you will reach the same conclusion as I: Hubbard was a fairly classical psychopath who founded Scientology as a scam, to put it simply.

Calling them a church or cult is probably being too kind.

The extreme age of the universe and its vast number of stars suggest that extraterrestrial life should be common. Considering this with colleagues over lunch in 1950, the physicist Enrico Fermi is said to have asked: "Where are they?" Fermi questioned why, if a multitude of advanced extraterrestrial civilizations exist in the Milky Way galaxy, evidence such as probes, spacecraft or radio transmissions has not been found. The simple question "Where are they?" (alternatively, "Where is everybody?") is possibly apocryphal, but Fermi is widely credited with simplifying and clarifying the problem of the probability of extraterrestrial life.

Okay then. Many people have pointed out the numerous and embarrassing flaws in this logic, but I really don't think Fermi was being stupid or ignorant at the time he posited his question. It was the 50's, after all, and people trusted their government. People did not yet grasp how the world worked with regard to government secrecy and population thought control. From our stance today, we have a great deal of available insight into this; we know about Joseph Goebbels, we know that advertising is incredibly effective, we know that the strobe effect of Television puts the human brain into a highly suggestive state. We know that what you teach kids at a young age shapes them for life. And if we dig deeper, we know that the human brain is easily manipulated in far more disgusting ways; (Greebaum).

It is easy to control people's beliefs. Churches have done it for centuries. For those who reject religious dogma, the media picks up the ball; ie, replace 'religion' with 'cult of science'. Real scientists don't care about embarrassment or being laughed at; they can't afford to because at some point every new and important idea posited by a scientist is going to be ridiculed and attacked by the layperson. So those who fear to talk about UFO's in an open manner, without any trace of fear or bias or mocking doubt in their tones, are not really scientists. They are just another brand of dogmatist.

As I've said, it is easy to control people's beliefs, --and by extension, their perceived realities.

So continuing Fermi's logic. . , If logic implies that the Milky Way is teeming with life, then perhaps it IS, and perhaps there is another reason we have not heard from that life.

Consider: There are UFO's constantly buzzing our skies. We have seen hundreds and hundreds of crop circles. We have countless reports from people who claim abduction experiences.

How can any rational person live in the same world as all of this and insist that there is no evidence? That's kind of strange. Crop circles are the perfect example; they are there in a manner which is available to anybody, (One recalls the old complaint of the sceptic, "I'll believe it when there is some evidence layed at my feet!"), they cannot be rationalized away; (the Ropes and Planks explanation falls hopelessly short when you get close enough to actually look at the details of the problem.) And yet, the world carries on as though nothing were happening.

It reminds me of a Douglas Adams creation; a system of invisibility where rather than bend light, you bend minds. --So that people ignore like crazy that which is right in front of them.

Aliens are already here, and they have been for centuries. The logic, if expanded to include this, might want to ask this little question...

How much effort do humans make to communicate with the cattle they raise? (As above, so below.)

Well, we've got the crop circle side of the equation. But we also have the abduction side. There are two different approaches to anyt

"President Bush revealed today there is a shadow government run by people who live outside of Washington in bunkers in case Washington was ever attacked. I thought the shadow government was the one Enron bought with all those contributions." --Jay Leno

Why persist in these malicious lies?... Perhaps you have a large investment in a tokamak company?

If you know what's good for you, you'll shut up before our Men in Black grab you and shove you through the nearest Stargate!

Western society, with its worship of coolness and contempt for intelligence is the perfect environment for psychopaths. The most interesting point the linked to article makes is that psycopaths recognise and help each other. Sure explains a lot.

For goodness sake.

Honestly, I'm beginning to think that people deserve to live in the hell-pit of Human culture if they can't see how absolutely retarded this kind of fear-based nonsense really is.

You want to stop 'terrorism'? Get the Nixon crew out of the white house and the Zionists out of Isreal.

That's how you stop 'terrorism'.

9-11 was manufactured with the full knowledge and consent of the Bush government. Giving dippy little call buttons to flight attendants is like giving a used bandaid to a combine harvester accident victim.

Allow me to quote the title: "Ground-breaking work in understanding of time; Mechanics, Zeno and Hawking undergo revision" I don't understand what the hell he's talking about. Either I'm not as smart as I think I am, or he's BSing his way through this. Zeno's theories are pretty well-established, you know "Man is walking across a road, if you keep on dividing the time intervals, he'll never get there." This Lynds seems to just be restating the theory with some fancy terms. I wouldn't be surprised if this were another Alan Sokal or, even worse for the realm of physics, Bogdanov brothers type of work.

Top investigators of the Columbia space shuttle disaster are analyzing a startling photograph -- snapped by an amateur astronomer from a San Francisco hillside -- that appears to show a purplish electrical bolt striking the craft as it streaked across the California sky.

The digital image is one of five snapped by the shuttle buff at roughly 5: 53 a.m. Saturday as sensors on the doomed orbiter began showing the first indications of trouble. Seven minutes later, the craft broke up in flames over Texas.

The photographer requested that his name not be used and said he would not release the image to the public until NASA experts had time to examine it.

Although there are several possible benign explanations for the image -- such as a barely perceptable jiggle of the camera as it took the time exposure -- NASA's zeal to examine the photo demonstrates the lengths at which the agency is going to tap the resources of ordinary Americans in solving the puzzle.

Late Tuesday, NASA dispatched former shuttle astronaut Tammy Jernigan, now a manager at Lawrence Livermore Laboratories, to the San Francisco home of the astronomer to examine his digital images and to take the camera itself to Mountain View, where it was to be transported by a NASA T-38 jet to Houston this morning.

A Chronicle reporter was present when the astronaut arrived. First seeing the image on a large computer screen, she had one word: "Wow."

Jernigan, who is no longer working for NASA, quizzed the photographer on the aperture of the camera, the direction he faced and the estimated exposure time -- about four to six seconds on the automatic Nikon 880 camera. It was mounted on a tripod, and the shutter was triggered manually.

In the critical shot, a glowing purple rope of light corkscrews down toward the plasma trail, appears to pass behind it, then cuts sharply toward it from below. As it merges with the plasma trail, the streak itself brightens for a distance, then fades.

"It certainly appears very anomalous," said Jernigan. "We sure will be very interested in taking a very hard look at this."

Jernigan flew five shuttle missions herself during the 1990s, including three on Columbia. On her last flight, the pilot of the craft was Rick Husband, who was at the controls when Columbia perished.

"He was one of the finest people I could ever hope to know," said Jernigan.

It was an astounding day for the San Francisco photographer, who said he had not had any success in reaching NASA through its published telephone hot lines.

He ultimately reached investigators through a connection with a relative who attends the same church as former astronaut Jack Lousma, who flew 24 million miles in the Skylab 3 mission in 1973.

Lousma put him in direct touch with Ralph Roe Jr., chief engineer for the shuttle program at Johnson Space Flight Center in Houston.

After a series of telephone conversations Tuesday afternoon, the photographer had a veteran shuttle mission specialist knocking at his door by dinnertime. Within hours, he was left with a receipt, and his camera was on its way to Houston.

Cassiopaeans comment on the Shuttle "Event":
Session: February 2, 2003

Q: One of the first questions we want to ask tonight is about the event of the Space Shuttle that was lost. First, was it an explosion, or was it just disintegration, or breaking up?
A: It was a "direct hit."

Q: A direct hit by what?
A: EM pulse.

Q: (S) What was the source of the EM pulse?
A: 3/4th density Consortium.

Q: Well, I thought Bush was a puppet of the Consortium? (A) Well, we know that the military are scrambling planes to go after UFOs...there are even reports of firing on them and there have been reports of military jets being disintegrated by UFOs. The UFOs are, somehow, in cahoots with the consortium. It seems that Bush and the gang are not in control of the Consortium and maybe they needed to be "reminded?"
A: It is not so much that he needs to be reminded, as he needs to be stimulated to react.

Q: (L) You once before said that Bush knows very little anyway - or that the "White House" level is pretty much in the dark about the plans of the Consortium - even if they are carrying them out. So, you are suggesting that they are being driven by forces of which they are unaware and do not understand?
A: Exactly. Bush is a "reaction machine."

Q: (L) I would like to know about this supposed "body guard" of Saddam recently presented by MOSSAD? Was he one of Saddam's former bodyguards?
A: To an extent, yes. But certainly not in the way presented. Just remember this: if pilots can be conditioned to commandeer airliners that will fly into certain death, how hard is it to "Produce" a "bodyguard?"

Q: (L) Piece of cake to produce a bodyguard, I guess. (A) He is saying exactly what the Israelis want him to say. He is not revealing any particular data that counts. It is just general things. Anybody could say such things and be called a "bodyguard." (L) Exactly. Okay, you say that an EM pulse brought down the shuttle. (A) Where did the EM pulse come from?
A: From space based satellite.

Q: (A) Does NASA know about the cause?
A: There are some who suspect.

Q: (L) Which explains why they are so anxious to convince everyone that it was NOT sabotage. Like Wellstone's death, there was "no question" about it being a terrorist attack. The likelihood is that the Bush Junta was behind Wellstone's death. In both cases they "know" the cause and want to divert the attention away from it. But, in the case of the shuttle, they aren't "dirty," but they most definitely do NOT want anyone to realize that they also are not "in charge." It makes me think of the remark the C's made a few years ago about the reason for the Military Industrial Complex build-up and manipulations. C's said that the REAL enemy is "out there" and that war was just a "cover" to prevent the masses from realizing what they were really doing. Maybe Bush and the gang are really convinced, in their own minds, that they are acting to "protect" humanity from this threat. Meanwhile, they are simply being driven to fulfill the agenda of the Consortium. And it is so interesting that the shuttle broke up over Palestine, Texas... as though it was saying to Bush: this is what is going to happen to you: Palestine is going to be your destruction. But, of course, Bush would be incapable of perceiving it in that context. Is it so that a message was intended in this event?
A: As always, confusion is the mask.

Q: (L) In other words, everyone's reaction to the event will depend on their own context. There is the view that it was a "message to Bush." Bush and gang will, of course, see it only as a stimulus to faster and more "decisive" military action. So, it will really work on them the way it is wanted. (A) And of course, we wonder how they will make use of this event.

A: The primary effect among the masses will be shock, thus making them less resistant to Bush's policies. Still other groups will see the clear threat to Bush and Co. from their activities. Bush and Co. will, of course, seek to capitalize on the event even while remaining in the dark as to its meaning. But there most certainly is awareness among them that there is a "Maverick" element at loose. Bush has even "felt" a bit of primal fear in respect of this event.

This article suggests a wat that the Columbia incident might be terrorism and the website backs it up with hard to dissect science. Big science doesn't even claim to have all the answers, yet seems to constantly get stuck in a rut of not accepting or examining differing ideas. Does anyone have any good sites that prove this guy wrong? This website seems more interested in the social stigma involved with association with this guy than proving him wrong. What was that quote again about new ideas not becoming mainstream because of winning people over, but because their opponents died off?

By whom? Who is in a position to 'set it up'? Do you think that someone decided that the best way to reform Israel was to convince Hitler to make war with everyone, then impose the 'Final Solution' so that afterwards, those who ended his tyranny would have sympathy & give them back their ancestral homeland?

Look deeper. Connect the seemingly unrelated.

I found an admittedly pretty far-out site which covers some of the points mentioned above. . .

Don't let it scare you off on first view. It definitely hits a number of hot buttons which people have been carefully groomed to run like hell away from, but if you are really interested in knowing, it's parent site offers some points which are quite rich in meat. . . Absorb and consider carefully before casting judgement. This in itself may be a most difficult challenge!

Winning in the private sector is kind of like winning a video game. While it might help to slow the geometric growth of junk mail arriving at you from all quarters, it won't stop you from getting your ass hauled off to a concentration camp.

Some would suggest that there are bigger fish to fry. (True, some would also be called crazy, but there's some interesting food for thought out there nonetheless.)

To those interested in looking at what some of those bigger fish might be, check out this amazing site I just found: (Real or not, who cares? Clean and intelligent writing, it makes for the BEST sci-fi I've read in years! The Swiss watch of conspiracy theories. And frankly, any geek who isn't familiar with this cutting edge, web-based story telling technique can just turn in his membership card and kick his lame ass out the door.

10 to 1, this is what the resulting playing field will look like in a couple of years. . .

1) Regular people won't have a clue, and won't care, and whatever happens, they'll end up with their asses planted in front of funky flatscreens and cruddy CRTs for even more hours a day sucking up mind-cum with their pudgy brains and bleeding their free will down a highspeed access wire. And they will be happy and content because that's what they will be told.

2) Hackers and Subversives will find a clever back-door, probably involving a soldering iron or something. They'll save a few nickels from online subscription services, and they'll be content because they'll think they've 'won' through cleverness and guile, when really they'll just end up listening to and watching the same old mass-market, pre-programmed crap as always,

In the end, NOBODY IS GOING TO BE SPENDING LESS TIME IN FRONT OF THEIR MONITERS. The ensuing hard drive drama will keep all the minds that matter tied up, distracted from the real show.
