Sharing Their Demons on the Web
By SARAH KERSHAW
FOR years they lived in solitary terror of the light beams that caused searing headaches, the technology that took control of their minds and bodies. They feared the stalkers, people whose voices shouted from the walls or screamed in their heads, “We found you” and “We want you dead.”
When people who believe such things reported them to the police, doctors or family, they said they were often told they were crazy. Sometimes they were medicated or locked in hospital wards, or fired from jobs and isolated from the outside world.
But when they found one another on the Internet, everything changed. So many others were having the same experiences.
Type “mind control” or “gang stalking” into Google, and Web sites appear that describe cases of persecution, both psychological and physical, related with the same minute details — red and white cars following victims, vandalism of their homes, snickering by those around them.
Identified by some psychologists and psychiatrists as part of an “extreme community” on the Internet that appears to encourage delusional thinking, a growing number of such Web sites are filled with stories from people who say they are victims of mind control and stalking by gangs of government agents. The sites are drawing the concern of mental health professionals and the interest of researchers in psychology and psychiatry.
Although many Internet groups that offer peer support are considered helpful to the mentally ill, some experts say Web sites that amplify reports of mind control and group stalking represent a dark side of social networking. They may reinforce the troubled thinking of the mentally ill and impede treatment.
Dr. Ralph Hoffman, a psychiatry professor at Yale who studies delusions, said a growing number of his research subjects have told him of visiting mind-control sites, and finding in them confirmation of their own experiences.
“The views of these belief systems are like a shark that has to be constantly fed,” Dr. Hoffman said. “If you don’t feed the delusion, sooner or later it will die out or diminish on its own accord. The key thing is that it needs to be repetitively reinforced.”
That is what the Web sites do, he said. Similar concerns have arisen about a proliferation of sites that describe how to commit suicide, or others that promote anorexia and bulimia, providing detailed instructions on restricting food and photographs of skeletal women meant to be “thinspiration.”
For people who regularly visit and write on message boards on the mind-control sites, the idea that others would describe the sites as promoting delusional and psychotic thinking is simply evidence of a cover-up of the truth.
“It was a big relief to find the community,” said Derrick Robinson, 55, a janitor in Cincinnati and president of Freedom from Covert Harassment and Surveillance, a group that claims several hundred regular users of its Web site. “I felt that maybe there were others, but I wasn’t real sure until I did find this community,” Mr. Robinson said.
There is no concise survey of mind-control sites or others describing gang stalking — whose users believe that groups of people are following and controlling them, as part of a test of neurological or other kinds of weapons likely conducted by the government — on the Net. But they are easy to find. Some have hundreds of postings, along with links to dozers of similar sties.
One, Gangstalkingworld.com, welcomes visitors with this description: “Gang Stalking is a systemic form of control, which seeks to destroy every aspect of a Targeted Individual’s life. The target is followed around and placed under surveillance by Civilian Spies/Snitches 24/7.”
The site lists more than 71,000 visitors, and it has links to several other sites, including Harrassment101.com, which has 965 posts.
One poster to Gang Stalking World wrote in August: “It’s insane that I daily have to come home and try to figure out if my Web sites will still be up or shut down. This week they have really been playing with me, and so it was my time to play back.” The post directs readers to other gang-stalking sites should their favorite sites be shut down.
Mr. Robinson said in an interview that that he has been tortured and abused by gang stalkers and by “neurological weaponry” since leaving the Navy in 1982. “To read the stories and the similarity of the harassment techniques that were going on, to hear about the vandalism, appliance tampering and all the other things were designed to drive a person crazy, who do you go to with this?” he said. “People will say you are delusional.”
For Mr. Robinson and several other Web site users interviewed for this article — all of whom insisted they were not delusional, including one man who said he had been hospitalized in psychiatric wards — the sites provide the powerful, unfamiliar experience of being understood by others.
“By and large, most people are sane and coherent and can relate exactly what’s happening to them,” Mr. Robinson said. “They can say the things that would otherwise get them labeled as delusional.”
His group of self-described “targeted individuals” met offline in Los Angeles last month for their inaugural conference, he said, where they attended a meeting to share stories, including the humiliating experiences of being told they are insane.
Mental health experts who have closely looked at the Web sites are careful to say that there is no way to prove if someone posting on, say, Mr. Robinson’s site, Freedomfchs.com, which says its mission is to seek justice for those singled out by “organized stalking and electromagnetic torture,” is suffering from mental illness.
Vaughan Bell, a British psychologist who has researched the effect of the Internet on mental illness, first began tracking sites with reports of mind control in 2004. In 2006 he published a study concluding that there was an extensive Internet community around such beliefs, and he called 10 sites he studied “likely psychotic sites.”
The extent of the community, Dr. Bell said, poses a paradox to the traditional way delusion is defined under the diagnostic guidelines of the American Psychiatric Association, which says that if a belief is held by a person’s “culture or subculture,” it is not a delusion. The exception accounts for rituals of religious faith, for example.
Dr. Bell, whose study was published in the journal Psychopathology, said that it does not suggest all people participating in mind-control sites are delusional, and that a firm diagnosis of psychosis could only be done in person.
For people who say they are the target of mind control or gang stalking, there may be enough evidence in the scientific literature to fan their beliefs. Many sites point to MK-ULTRA, the code name for a covert C.I.A. mind-control and chemical interrogation program begun in the 1950s.
Recently the sites have linked to an article published in September in Time magazine, “The Army’s Totally Serious Mind-Control Project,” which described a $4 million contract given to the Army to develop “thought helmets” that would allow troops to communicate through brain waves on the battlefield.
And the users of some sites have found the support of Jim Guest, a Republican state representative in Missouri, who wrote last year to his fellow legislators calling for an investigation into the claims of those who say they are being tortured by mind control.
“I’ve had enough calls, some from credible people — professors — being targeted by nonlethal weapons,” Mr. Guest said in a telephone interview, adding that nothing came of his request for a legislative investigation. “They become psychologically affected by it. They have trouble sleeping at night.”
He added: “I believe there are people who have been targeted by this. With this equipment, you have to test it on somebody to see if it works.”
Dr. Bell and some other mental health professionals say that even if the users of such sites are psychotic, forging an online connection to others and being told — perhaps for the first time — “you are not crazy” could actually have a positive effect on their illnesses.
“We know, for example, that things like social support, all of these positive social aspects are very good for people’s mental illness,” Dr. Bell said. “I wouldn’t say it’s entirely and completely positive, but it can be positive.”
Some research has shown that when people with delusions undergo group cognitive therapy, the group process can be helpful in their treatment.
But the Web sites are not moderated by professionals, and many postings discuss the failure of medication and say that mental health professionals are part of the conspiracy against them.
“These people lead quietly desperate lives,” said Dr. Jeffrey A. Lieberman, chairman of the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University. “And if they are reinforcing each other and pulling people toward something, if they are using the Internet and getting reinforcement, that’s good.”
The mind-control sites remind some experts of the accounts of those claiming to have been abducted by aliens in the 1970s and ’80s. One person’s story begat another until many insisted they had had virtually identical experiences of being taken onto space ships by silvery sloe-eyed creatures.
Some of those now posting on mind-control sites say they are being remotely “sexually stimulated” by their torturers. Some alien abductees had said similar things. Subsequent research generally showed that those who believed they had been abducted were not psychotic, but suffering from severe memory and sleep problems, or personal traumas, Dr. Bell said.
Psychiatrists and researchers say it is too soon to say whether communication on the Internet among people who may be psychotic will negatively effect their illnesses.” This is a very complex little corner,” said Dr. Ken Duckworth, the medical director for the National Alliance on Mental Illness, an advocacy group. “Some people may find it’s healing, but these are really hard questions. The Internet isn’t a cause of mental illness, it’s a complicating new variable.”

Thought on learning disabilities
There seems to be a lot of learning disabilities these days. ADHD, ADD, and dyslexia just to name a few. As I sat at the feet of my teacher, we discussed these things in great depth.
One possible cause that we’ve considered for dyslexia is simply the fact that, unlike ours, many if not most eastern scripts were written right to left, as well as some being vertical! These are older cultures than the existing European and American cultures, and their writing goes back further than ours. Even the cuneiform is said to have began being read other than left to right, and only in the 3rd Century BCE did it become a left to right script. The theory is that it made it easier to write, though not necessarily to read. Basically, what I’m saying is that when the art of writing was developed, not taught as it is after development, people would have done it in a way that came NATURALLY, not in opposition to their nature. Frequently, as I’d mentioned, this was left to right, as in the Arabic and Hebrew. Now, children and adults suffer from the inability to read right to left, or simply view things backwards. Why? Could it be that their nature is rising and overpowering their nurture?
Another topic that bothers me is ADD and ADHD. There are as many theories as to the "problem" as there are pills. What if the answer is that, on a sub-conscious level, the children know it’s all bullshit. The human race is clearly changing. Could the inability to sit and take in the old fables of history and language arts be a sign that the old is out, and the new being is coming in? There is a saying in Islam that "every child is born in a state of fitrah (a natural state), but their parents make them [otherwise]" Is the ADD/ADHD phenomenon simply nature rebelling against nurture yet again? Man can suppress things all he wants, but in the end, nature always wins. I was taught that when we go against our own nature, we wage a war against Nature as a whole, and that is a war we can never win.

Quantum Astrology
This week I talk with quantum astrologer and author Lyn Birkbeck about the historical and contemporary revolutionary influence of Pluto/Uranus/Saturn waves, last seen in the '60s, currently underway in 2008/9. We discuss a new astrological paradigm in which we are co-creators of reality with the Planets rather than subject to them, and how to experience their energies coming through us rather than AT us. Also covered: President Elect (Momma's Boy) Barak Obama's hidden agenda, Charles Manson and the 60s, and the Awakening of the collective Shadow.
Anunnaqi and You
Anunnaqi and You
Greetings of Peace to the Reader. My name is Nuwbunun (New-boo-noon) and this is my one of my first non-poetic posting.
I have so much to say, yet can hardly decide where to begin. The topic is controversial, and not just to the sheeples. It's one that causes discord amongst us "smart folks", and it seems that I'm in the minority as to my position regarding anything Anunnaqi. Lately, probably due to books like the Necronomicon's release in the '70s which makes the beings called "Anunnaqi" out to be demons, yet it isn't in the Gate Chants translations that the Anunnaqi are "terrible", rather it is always in the "glue" an author uses between them. The translations read more or less like any other scripture, and the transliterations read like any other western, wanna-be scholar has written, tainted by a Roman "good and evil" ideal. And now I'm just being mean. So, before I continue, I suppose it's only right that I share a bit of my credentials.
I had a .01 gpa in high school, which I maintained steadily until the day I was expelled. I've been strung out, homeless, and spent ample time in prison. I'm a published poet also. Pure luck, let me tell you. I have no resources to cite, and I won't go looking for quick snippets to justify my words and works. I have studied the Rosicrucion teachings from Rosicrucion books and a pre-initiate course, Freemasonry under a Mason, and Magic under both a Satanic Witch and 2 self-proclaimed Chaos Magicians. I've also been fortunate enough to study Islam under a born Muslim in America who begin his life in another country embattled by sectarian violence, Qabballah under a qabballist, the 5%er doctrine with a 5%er, N.O.I under an ex-member, and have had the dubious honor of learning numerous Masonic degrees from various orders from the aforementioned Mason. I'm an arrogant prick, and I am the resource material, sorry. I am an empath, have strong intuition, have visions and have no regard for the status quo. Oh, and the feds- when they tried to recruit me- say I have a great ability for pattern recognition. I suppose they know what they are talking about, since they noticed and ignored so many patterns at flight schools pre-9/11. I say all that to say this; You can't demonize an entire class of Inter-dimensional Beings just because it sounds good. In the past it sounded good to burn alleged Witches. There was a little event called the Crusades that shows what demonizing and self-righteousness can do for us as well.
I'd like to tell an Annunaqi story, based upon the oral traditions I'd received and some further study from a very special translation of the Enuma Elish, which seems to have fallen into a memory hole.. Sorry 'bout that. Blame the Anunnaqi. So anyway, The Gods had a plan, and that plan was simple. Come to Earth, then called Qi, and use the primitive beings that were upon Her to mine for a precious metal needed to repair their atmosphere which had become damaged in war. Their's was the planet Rizq, in the 19th galaxy called Illyuwn. Rizq is in a 3 Sun solar system. Think about how our 1 sun is burning our asses out now that our ozone layer has become deficient! Anyway, so these inter-dimensional beings come here to find humim beings, which They attempted to enslave and make them do work. Well, due to the lack of intellect, it was actually difficult to do it, so They began to experiment on a genetic level. There were many failures. Finally They got desperate enough to do something drastic; speed up our evolution by introducing Anunnaqi DNA into our own! Viola! The missing link! This expains things like latent abilities and higher senses, to me at least.
I don't claim to be a Master Teacher, and I may have shit all wrong, but it makes sense to me. We became Hu-man. Now, we demonize our Creators, Yes, as in all pantheons, there are Agreeable and Disagreeable players, but isn't that the case even in your own family?
There are many traits humans exhibit which science either can’t explain, or can yet denies the existence of. I refer to latent abilities many, if not all, of us have such as intuition, telepathy, clairvoyance, telekinesis, and at least one other that I can’t think of. These abilities are due to a genetic marker embedded in the DNA of each of us, and even correspond to certain "useless" organs and glands which physicians are quick to remove. The main gland is one which is missing in many people; the barathary gland, which enables telepathy with one another and also with inter-dimensional entities, including but not limited to the Anunnaqi. The Bible makes an allusion towards this in the story of Enos, the first human being that was unable to communicate directly with "God". This was due to the removal of the gland. Clearly there was a genetic modification done as well, otherwise the gland would’ve resurfaced immediately in the generations that followed him. Point is, where did these abilities people have come from? The religions of the world, especially Judaism, Christianity, and Islam condemn the traits as the devil’s work. Science remains skeptical, yet some of us KNOW people who have one or more of the abilities! Why are they covered up? What is the status quo trying to conceal? I assert that to admit to the true nature of humans would be to admit to the flaws in religious doctrine and to the reality of our creation.
Someone asked me once if I thought the Anunnaqi are benevolent entities? I said both yes, and no. If it is true that they created us, then there is benevolence in the fact that we weren’t destroyed. Personally, I think that they have left us to our own devices as an experiment to see what happens. Earth is quarantined until we get over our base natures. The young have shown tremendous growth at times, and through our nurture some have regressed further into an animal like state. We’ve made the planet safe, with our seat belts and safety switches, so that now, even the weak and dumb survive. Our compassion for one another, coupled with being misled, have made us to lose focus on what’s important; the regaining of our higher Self to catapult our species off of this sphere and into an intergalactic federation. Maybe the year 2012 is the deadline, and we really will be destroyed for being stupid.

Poetry schmoetry
Poetry schmoetry, out the mind
Is burdensome, as some will find.
We know what's what, and what's our kind.
Words spew forth, a drip, drip, drip.
Into our cups, we're forced to sip.
Just one a week is all I need,
But it's not so, I'm forced to feed.
Please spare us all
This burdensome gall.
Let us party at the ball!
Barack Obama is Abe Lincoln
Who is this mystery body?
“Charisma is looking like other people.” – Marshall McLuhan
By the way, Bob is right about Obama being the meme of Abe Lincoln: here’s the latest on Obama from an AP report:
“Obama, making his Senate resignation official, said in a letter published in Illinois newspapers Sunday that he was "ending one journey to begin another. ... But I will never forget and will be forever grateful to the men and women of this great state who made my life in public service possible."
In his published letter, Obama quoted Abraham Lincoln, "another son of Illinois" who had left for Washington, "a greater man who spoke to a nation far more divided."
Lincoln, Obama wrote, said of his home: "To this place, and the kindness of these people, I owe everything."
Obama wrote, "I feel the same, and like Lincoln, I ask for your support, your prayers, and for us to `confidently hope that all will yet be well.'"
As I have also noted in this blog below, Obama is the Sixth Black President, not the First. Abe Lincoln is one of the Black Presidents. See:

Shrouded by Faith in the Light
Shrouded by faith in the Light,
she yokes the herd harshly with words.
Absurd parables of faith and glory
scoring high marks for the Queeny so preened,
believing in a comfortable thing.
Thematic theatrics like hat-tricks
see the herd fixated upon her Highness’ stern posture
of "love me".
The herd live for her whims
inherent losers abused
in the name of a faith
that holds no goodness.
A vampiric Light.
A Light that fears True Darkness.
Darkness is harmless to the bold
the strong.
The meek and weak sheep speak in hushed tones
when speaking of Her.
Her being the true meaning of she,
yet she turns her face
when called to embrace Her,
the Darkness.

Il Divo sings Amazing Grace in the Coliseum in Rome
This is a very moving rendition of Amazing Grace.
NO MORE BABBLING
the words spew from out my mouth
an ejaculatory ecstatic burst from the universe
NO MORE BABBLING!
the pungent spittle of emotion punctuates as they ream
the listfilled minds of those
the masses comatose
then, no, t'was just illusion born of lust
to assert what I thought just
my tongue moves not
my mouth stays shut
silence and non-talk is sometimes best
be thought the fool
open not the mouth
remove not the doubt
bite the lip in silent scream
The Begich Brothers of Alaska
Go Begich!
Mark Begich is the brother of Nick Begich, author of the very first book on the HAARP project in Alaska: titled, Angels Don’t Play This HAARP.
http://www.geocities.com/Area51/shadowlands/6583/project184.html
"Nick Begich is the eldest son of the late Alaska Sen. Nick Begich Sr. and political activist Pegge Begich, and brother of Anchorage Mayor Mark Begich."
http://www.alaskastar.com/stories/072403/new_20030724001.shtml
Mark Begich is about to replace Republican Stevens for Alaska’s Senate seat, which will foil Sarah Palin for a while. One thing that never came up in this presidential election was where Palin stands on HAARP. She probably uses it to create those fabulous hairdon'ts / hairdonuts.
You betcha. Cross your fingers on that…
Democrat takes lead in Alaska Senate race
November 13, 2008 9:23 AM EST
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Just as Sen. Ted Stevens appeared set to return to Congress, felony conviction and all, his re-election bid has faltered. If he loses, it also closes a possible door into the Senate anytime soon for Gov. Sarah Palin.
As counting of early and absentee ballots continued in Stevens' race against Democrat Mark Begich, the contest for Alaska's only House seat was settled Wednesday, with the re-election of Republican incumbent Don Young for his 19th term.
In the Stevens race, Begich jumped to an 814-vote lead, after trailing by 3,200 when the day began. The tally late Wednesday was 132,196 to 131,382, with an estimated 30,000 ballots remaining to be counted, some on Friday and some next week.
"After watching the votes today, I remain cautiously optimistic," Begich, a two-term Anchorage mayor, said in a news release. "We ran an aggressive campaign, especially when it came to early voting and absentee."
Stevens' campaign did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
Last month, a federal jury in Washington convicted Stevens of lying on Senate disclosure forms to conceal more than $250,000 in gifts and home renovations from an oil field services company.
That might have spelled quick political doom for a lesser figure, but Stevens is revered here for his decades of public service - and especially for scoring the state enormous sums of federal money.
Begich would be the first Democrat to win a Senate race in Alaska since the mid-1970s, and a victory would put his party one step closer to a filibuster-proof 60-vote majority in the Senate. Democrats are also trying to unseat Republicans in unresolved contests in Georgia and Minnesota.
Mark Begich is the brother of Nick Begich, author of the very first book on the HAARP project in Alaska: titled, Angels Don’t Play This HAARP.

Mark Begich is about to replace Republican Stevens for Alaska’s Senate seat, which will foil Sarah Palin for a while. One thing that never came up in this presidential election was where Palin stands on HAARP. She probably uses it to create those fabulous hairdon'ts / hairdonuts.

Democrat takes lead in Alaska Senate race
November 13, 2008 9:23 AM EST
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Just as Sen. Ted Stevens appeared set to return to Congress, felony conviction and all, his re-election bid has faltered. If he loses, it also closes a possible door into the Senate anytime soon for Gov. Sarah Palin.
As counting of early and absentee ballots continued in Stevens' race against Democrat Mark Begich, the contest for Alaska's only House seat was settled Wednesday, with the re-election of Republican incumbent Don Young for his 19th term.
In the Stevens race, Begich jumped to an 814-vote lead, after trailing by 3,200 when the day began. The tally late Wednesday was 132,196 to 131,382, with an estimated 30,000 ballots remaining to be counted, some on Friday and some next week.
"After watching the votes today, I remain cautiously optimistic," Begich, a two-term Anchorage mayor, said in a news release. "We ran an aggressive campaign, especially when it came to early voting and absentee."
Stevens' campaign did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
Last month, a federal jury in Washington convicted Stevens of lying on Senate disclosure forms to conceal more than $250,000 in gifts and home renovations from an oil field services company.
That might have spelled quick political doom for a lesser figure, but Stevens is revered here for his decades of public service - and especially for scoring the state enormous sums of federal money.
Begich would be the first Democrat to win a Senate race in Alaska since the mid-1970s, and a victory would put his party one step closer to a filibuster-proof 60-vote majority in the Senate. Democrats are also trying to unseat Republicans in unresolved contests in Georgia and Minnesota.
Another angel falls out of the sky
I think this story is so sad, especially the teenager who described how the girl fell: "She just fell, she just fell right out of the sky."
Student dies after shooting at Fla. high school
November 12, 2008 2:27 PM EST
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - A 15-year-old student died after a shooting at a Fort Lauderdale high school Wednesday, and police were questioning another student believed to be responsible.
Sophomore Amanda Collette was confirmed dead after being discovered on a hallway floor by a school resource officer at Dillard High School around 11 a.m. Another 15-year-old girl was being held and questioned by police in the death.
"This is a situation where we are more than heartbroken," said Jim Notter, the superintendent of schools for Broward County.
The discovery of the body started a confusing series of events. Police said they did not believe gunshots were heard, and an initial examination found no major wound on the girl's body, leading to questions about whether or not she was shot.
Authorities later confirmed there was a shooting, but Sgt. Frank Sousa, a spokesman for the Fort Lauderdale Police, said it was possible a smaller-caliber gun was used and the wound closed around the bullet.
Police said no other students were believed to have been involved.
"This appears to be an isolated incident," said Sousa.
Stephan Willis, a sophomore who said he witnessed the shooting, said the girls were arguing in an outside corridor when the suspect suddenly produced a gun and shot Collette.
"She's a nice girl. She's quiet. She just keeps to herself," said Willis, who said he had known the victim since elementary school.
Another student, 14-year-old freshman Hermond Davis, said the hallway was crowded after Collette collapsed and students screamed and panicked.
"As I am walking to the cafeteria, I saw this girl collapsed," Davis said. "She just fell, she just fell right out of the sky."
The suspect was apprehended at an area restaurant after a caller there reported she may have been involved in a school shooting. A gun was recovered.
The school was locked down for a short time, but classes soon resumed. Still, as police were announcing the fatality, gates were chain-locked and access was being restricted as a news helicopter hovered overhead. Several dozen parents gathered outside, some openly weeping.
"I'm just trying to get my baby out of here," said Betty Barnes, whose 15-year-old daughter, Tiffany, is a sophomore at the school. "I want to make sure she's OK. It's very scary not knowing."
Dillard has about 1,700 students. They don't pass through metal detectors, but officers are stationed on campus and security cameras are placed throughout.

Black Lotus Petal 1
Black Lotus Petal 1
Dreams of Spheres
brought on by a Shaman sickness
thickened my mind
and opened it’s Eye.
This happened at 5
and folks wonder why
I’m a little bit different.
It isn’t for lack of trying.
I’m finding buying in
to the Law of Sin
so difficult.
It’s not my fault.
I didn’t choose.
No,
I was chosen.
Believe you me,
had I a choice
this isn’t the path I’d have chosen.
When I attempt to stray
the walls close in.
I can hear the echoing laughter
of the all too close jinn.
They know they’re almost in
when I step off of my Destiny.
Waiting for that moment
when they can get the best of me
by wrestling me into a no win situation
where I’m facing total infestation.
So I withdraw back into the darkness
where my skill are flawless.
All the damage the light-bearers do
becomes undone
as they succumb to the Divine Silence…
Total Silence
from which the First Utterance was born into form.
The form from which came forth all things.
The Light becomes undone,
turned inside out
to be reborn from Darkness.
U.S. Soldiers are being poisoned in Iraq
The new Gulf war syndrome
US soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan are being exposed to toxic chemicals that pose serious health risks
Read the article in The Guardian.In case they change the link or deleted the story, here it is...
---------------------
What does a war injury look like? In the case of Iraq, we tend to picture veterans bravely getting on with their lives with the help of steel legs or computerised limbs. Trauma injuries are certainly the most visible of health problems – the ones that grab our attention. A campaign ad for congressman Tom Udall featured an Iraq war veteran who had survived a shot to his head. Speaking through the computer that now substitutes for his voice, Sergeant Erik Schei extols the top-notch care that saved his life.
As politicians argue about healthcare for veterans, it is generally people like Sgt Schei that they have in mind, men and women torn apart by a bullet or bomb. And of course, these Iraq war veterans must receive the best care available for such complex and catastrophic injuries.
Unfortunately, the dangers of modern war extend far beyond weapons. As Iraqis know only too well, areas of Iraq today are among the most polluted on the planet – so toxic that merely to live, eat and sleep (never mind to fight) in these zones is to risk death. Thousands of soldiers coming home from the war may have been exposed to chemicals that are known to cause cancers and neurological problems. What's most tragic is that the veterans themselves do not always realise that they are in danger from chemical poisoning. Right now, there is no clear way for Iraq war veterans to find out what they've been exposed to and where to get help.
In October, the Military Times reported on the open-air pits on US bases in Iraq, where troops incinerate tons of waste. Because of such pits, tens of thousands of soldiers may be breathing air contaminated with burning Freon, jet fuel and other carcinogens. According to reports, soldiers are coughing up blood or the black goop that has been nicknamed "plume crud".
In other cases, soldiers may have been exposed to poisons spread during efforts to restore Iraq's infrastructure. In 2003, for instance, members of the Indiana national guard were put in charge of protecting a water-treatment plant. They were told not to worry about the bright orange dust lying in piles around the plant, swirling in the air and gathering in the folds of their uniforms. In fact, Indiana soldiers spent weeks or months in a wasteland contaminated with sodium dichromate. The chemical, made famous after its role as the villain in the movie Erin Brockovich, is used to peel corrosion off of water pipes. It is a carcinogen that attacks the lungs and sinuses.
Today, a decade and a half after the first Gulf war, we know that such exposure may lead to widespread suffering. In 1991, veterans began to exhibit fatigue, fevers, rashes, joint pain, intestinal problems, memory loss, mood swings and even cancers, a cluster of symptoms and conditions referred to now as Gulf war syndrome (or illness). For years, the US department of defence maintained that stress caused the veterans' symptoms. Veterans groups blamed war-related toxins. This year, the National Academy of Sciences published an extensive review of years of scientific study of Gulf war illness that concluded a cause and effect relationship existed between the widespread illnesses among veterans and exposure to powerful neurotoxins. Complementing the US studies is an emerging body of epidemiological data linking increased incidence of Iraqi cancer, birth defects, infant mortality and multi-system diseases to toxic exposure.
Strangely enough, though, there has been almost no discussion of whether today's soldiers – those fighting in Iraq or Afghanistan – have also been injured by wartime poisons. We don't have a word yet for the constellation of cancers, psychological ills and systemic diseases that may be caused by toxins in today's wars.
In order to care for our veterans, we must do more than offer state-of-the-art hospitals and high-tech prosthetics. Veterans will need information about what poisons they have breathed or touched or drunk and when.
What would such an effort look like? First the military would need to disclose all known incidents of toxic exposure. Then it would have to reach out to veterans and give them information about how to receive care for conditions that arise from this exposure.
This summer, senator Evan Bayh made a first stab at such a system. Bayh pushed the national guard to track down hundreds of those Indiana soldiers who may have breathed orange dust back in 2003. Most of the soldiers are now civilians scattered across the US, unaware that they are at high risk for lung cancer and other respiratory diseases. Some of them may already be struggling with illness. The national guard is making an effort to search for these veterans and provide them with a phone number to call in order to seek medical help.
That's a good first step. But what about all the other veterans who believe that they have returned home from the war healthy? Without knowing it, they may be carrying a small bomb inside them. And they have a right to know.
Paranoia Strikes Deep, Into your life it will creep
It's OK. You're now one of us!
Psychosis by Osmosis!!!
Paranoia on the rise, experts say.
By MARIA CHENG Associated Press Writer
Nov 12th, 2008 | LONDON -- If you think they're out to get you, you're not alone.
Paranoia, once assumed to afflict only schizophrenics, may be a lot more common than previously thought.
According to British psychologist Daniel Freeman, nearly one in four Londoners regularly have paranoid thoughts. Freeman is a paranoia expert at the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College and the author of a book on the subject.
Experts say there is a wide spectrum of paranoia, from the dangerous delusions that drive schizophrenics to violence to the irrational fears many people have daily.
"We are now starting to discover that madness is human and that we need to look at normal people to understand it," said Dr. Jim van Os, a professor of psychiatry at Maastricht University in the Netherlands. Van Os was not connected to Freeman's studies.
Paranoia is defined as the exaggerated or unfounded fear that others are trying to hurt you. That includes thoughts that other people are trying to upset or annoy you, for example, by staring, laughing, or making unfriendly gestures.
Surveys of several thousands of people in Britain, the United States and elsewhere have found that rates of paranoia are slowly rising, although researchers' estimates of how many of us have paranoid thoughts varies widely, from 5 percent to 50 percent.
A British survey of more than 8,500 adults found that 21 percent of people thought there had been times when others were acting against them. Another survey of about 1,0000 adults in New York found that nearly 11 percent thought other people were following or spying on them.
Dennis Combs, an assistant professor of psychology at the University of Texas at Tyler, has been studying paranoia for about a decade. When he first started conducting paranoia studies, mostly in college students, he found that about 5 percent of them had paranoid thoughts. In recent years, that has tripled to about 15 percent, he said.
In a small experiment in London, Freeman concluded that a quarter of people riding the subway in the capital probably have regular thoughts that qualify as paranoia. In the study, 200 randomly selected people (those with a history of mental problems were excluded) took a virtual reality train ride. They recorded their reactions to computerized passengers programmed to be neutral.
More than 40 percent of study participants had at least some paranoid thoughts. Some felt intimidated by the computer passengers, claiming they were aggressive, had made obscene gestures, or tried to start a fight.
Freeman said that in big cities, many ambiguous events can lead to paranoid thoughts. Because we constantly make snap judgments based on limited information, like which street to take or whether or not strangers are dangerous, the decision-making process is prone to error.
Van Os said Freeman's virtual reality experiment was solid and confirmed previous research. Experts say not everyone with paranoid thoughts needs professional help. It all depends on how disturbing the thoughts are and if they disrupt your life.
"People walk around with odd thoughts all the time," said David Penn, a professor of psychology at the University of North Carolina. "The question is if that translates into real behavior."
Van Os recalled a delusional patient who was convinced that the French singer Charles Aznavour was in love with her, and had been whispering to her before she went to sleep every night for more than two decades.
"You could call it a psychotic experience, but she was very happy about it," van Os said. "There isn't always a need for care when there's an instance of psychosis."
He hoped that being able to identify milder delusional symptoms in people could help doctors intervene earlier to prevent more serious cases.
The post-Sept. 11 atmosphere and the war on terror have also increased levels of paranoia in the West, some experts said.
"We are bombarded with information about our alert status and we're told to report suspicious-looking characters," Penn said. "That primes people to be more paranoid."
Traumatic events can make people more vulnerable to having paranoid thoughts. Since the attacks, Penn said Americans have been conditioned to be more vigilant of anything out of the ordinary.
While heightened awareness may be good thing, Penn said it can also lead to false accusations and an atmosphere where strangers are negatively viewed.
That can result in more social isolation, hostility, and possibly even crime. And it can take a toll on physical health. More paranoia means more stress, a known risk factor for heart disease and strokes.
Still, some experts said that a little bit of paranoia could be helpful.
"In a world full of threat, it may be kind of beneficial for people to be on guard. It's good to be looking around and see who's following you and what's happening," Combs said. "Not everybody is trying to get you, but some people may be."

Argentina: Chicoana Agriglyphs – “Many who saw them remain silent”

Argentina: Chicoana Agriglyphs – “Many who saw them remain silent”
Two weeks ago, the serenity of Chicoana was disrupted when town residents reported a parade of lights in wonderful colors that appeared in the starry skies over the region before swiftly disappearing. The sighting would have remained merely an anecdote if it hadn’t been for the strange “drawings” in the wheat fields. From that moment onward, there was no stopping the curiosity seekers.
Most residents appear sullen and respond negatively when asked if they saw something unusual, displaying shy smiles that betray the fact that they know more than they’re telling.
The kids from the Maria Valdivieso School No. 588 had ringside seats for this display, as the building faces one of the three wheat fields that display the signs. Some of them were willing to talk and reportedly saw the UFO hovering directly over the field, and that it displayed lights of many colors.
Fanny, one of the schoolteachers who acts as a substitute principal, hesitates to provide more information. But she slowly warms to the subject and says: “...I saw the lights, but you know where I saw them? Not in the field, but over there, in the back. One stands here at night and sees the road leading to Moldes. They weren’t car headlights because they were higher up. A group of 5 or 6 different lights of a strong reddish or orange hue. This was on Thursday night.” She adds that the first to spot the patterns in the wheat field was “...one of the schoolteachers who lives in Campo Alegre, in the roundabout on the entrance to Chicoana. He had been told on Wednesday that the Cadena wheat field – the one bordering the road - was in that condition. Then he came for a look much later but there was nothing to see. Next day, he reported to work, and upon arriving, he felt curious. He thought: this is also a wheat field. So we went for a look and that’s when we saw it (the agriglyph). We’ve been working at this school for 22 years and have never seen anything like it.”
Along with another teacher who remained on duty on Wednesday night, Fanny adds that they were surprised for several day by the [behavior] of the local dogs. “...they barked by day and by night, making a tremendous racket.” This fact was also confirmed by another local resident who works at the school, and who adds that the children told her about some greenish lights, but she didn’t see them as she was engaged in her housework.
There is a small house near the wheat field. Its owner tells us that the UFOs appeared several days in a row, between Tuesday the 23rd and Sunday the 26th and that his wife saw another on Thursday at 4:00 a.m. The girl who works at the bakery across the town square says that she saw nothing at all, but that the deliverymen did see “some powerful lights that vanished suddenly”
Marco, who works for the town’s Tourism Office, says “over by the Villa Fanny school, the teachers took photos that show some black spots, like UFOs flying away. There are many who saw them but remain silent. Teachers, people in the area who were working the fields, and who don’t want to get into any trouble, or else be asked why the didn’t speak up sooner. People came from Buenos Aires to study the imprints. They took samples, but I don’t know what the outcome was...They say that when photos are taken, strange objects can be seen in the sky. If one walks through the wheat fields, they look like something heavy rested upon them without harming them. The wheat shoots are still green and yellow, unlike the paths left behind by curiosity seekers, where the wheat is squashed and dry. We don’t know about anything in nature that causes such marks. They resemble designs meant to be seen from above. As to whether or not they were UFOs...the reader should visit Chicoana, walk the wheat fields, take photos and draw his or her own conclusions.

Blessed thoughts about those little "wafer thin" Communion wafers
Let's see if we can get the Goofy Google ads to sell us some communion wafers!
Man allegedly steals communion wafers during mass
Tuesday, November 11 | 1:19 p.m.
The Associated Press
Police in Florida said they arrested a Connecticut man after he tried to steal communion wafers during a church service. The Martin County Sheriff's Office said a 33-year-old man was cornered by fellow churchgoers when he grabbed a handful of wafers from the priest during communion services Saturday.
The Stuart News reported that the man was being held down by six or seven offended parishioners when deputies arrived at St. Martin de Porres Catholic Church in Jensen Beach. Police say two parishioners, ages 82 and 61, received minor injuries in the scuffle.
The man was charged with two counts of simple battery, theft and disruption of a religious assembly. He was being held Tuesday on $2,000 bond at the Martin County Jail.
*************************
But one might ask,
Why was there a scuffle over a mitt-ful of bread?
According to the link above, the communion host is really, but no, really, the body of Jesus Christ. Not figuratively, but really. And the wafers are getting big bucks apparently from Satanists and OTO members on the black market.
*****************************
THE BLACK MARKET FOR COMMUNION HOSTS IN ROME
$50 to $600 is paid on the black market in Rome for consecrated Hosts, depending on the Church they came from and the Priest who consecrated them.
WHAT PRECAUTIONS ARE YOU TAKING TO AVOID INSULTING OR INJURING OUR LORD?
1. Do you believe as the Church teaches, that the Consecrated Host is Jesus Himself actually and truly - not symbolically or spiritually, but really and physically?
2. Are you aware that the tiniest crumb or particle of the Host is still the entire Body Blood Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ as long as it retains the physical properties of bread?
3. Are you aware that a sacrilege occurs if even the smallest particle of a Communion Host falls on the floor or is sat on in the pew, or is swept up with the trash when the Church is cleaned?
4. Do you soak your hands in clean water after you have touched the Body of Our Lord to make sure there are no minute particles left on your hands (to be dropped on the ground or the floor of your car or flushed down the toilet or whatever) before you do anything else?

We would do well often to send our Guardian Angel to visit and worship Him, on our behalf, in all the most abandoned and distasteful places He may be imprisoned due to the carelessness of someone who accidentally left the Church with a tiny particle of a Communion Host on his or her hand that dropped off in some forsaken place.
PRAYER: ANGELS, PLEASE HELP!
My Dear Guardian Angel, I urgently beg you to hurry to every deserted, forsaken and awful place where my poor Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ is lost and abandoned by the careless actions of those who thoughtlessly dare to receive His Holy Sacrament into their unconsecrated hands. Rush to Him and tell him how sorry I am and how much I wish to love and worship Him in those places where nobody will ever come, and where He may languish for years. Please find every place He is present but unnoticed and unattended, and visit Him regularly for me, offering Him my heart in union with the Immaculate Heart of Mary, to love and comfort Him. My Jesus, I am so sorry; I love You. Thank you.
Man allegedly steals communion wafers during mass
Tuesday, November 11 | 1:19 p.m.
The Associated Press
Police in Florida said they arrested a Connecticut man after he tried to steal communion wafers during a church service. The Martin County Sheriff's Office said a 33-year-old man was cornered by fellow churchgoers when he grabbed a handful of wafers from the priest during communion services Saturday.
The Stuart News reported that the man was being held down by six or seven offended parishioners when deputies arrived at St. Martin de Porres Catholic Church in Jensen Beach. Police say two parishioners, ages 82 and 61, received minor injuries in the scuffle.
The man was charged with two counts of simple battery, theft and disruption of a religious assembly. He was being held Tuesday on $2,000 bond at the Martin County Jail.
*************************
But one might ask,
Why was there a scuffle over a mitt-ful of bread?
According to the link above, the communion host is really, but no, really, the body of Jesus Christ. Not figuratively, but really. And the wafers are getting big bucks apparently from Satanists and OTO members on the black market.
*****************************
THE BLACK MARKET FOR COMMUNION HOSTS IN ROME
$50 to $600 is paid on the black market in Rome for consecrated Hosts, depending on the Church they came from and the Priest who consecrated them.
WHAT PRECAUTIONS ARE YOU TAKING TO AVOID INSULTING OR INJURING OUR LORD?
1. Do you believe as the Church teaches, that the Consecrated Host is Jesus Himself actually and truly - not symbolically or spiritually, but really and physically?
2. Are you aware that the tiniest crumb or particle of the Host is still the entire Body Blood Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ as long as it retains the physical properties of bread?
3. Are you aware that a sacrilege occurs if even the smallest particle of a Communion Host falls on the floor or is sat on in the pew, or is swept up with the trash when the Church is cleaned?
4. Do you soak your hands in clean water after you have touched the Body of Our Lord to make sure there are no minute particles left on your hands (to be dropped on the ground or the floor of your car or flushed down the toilet or whatever) before you do anything else? After the water sits for a safe time, do you pour the clean water on the ground under a tree or in a flower bed or some other safe place?
5.

Barack Obama: The Sixth Black President of the United States
See the following article at the link above!
Barack Obama is not the first black president at all!
******************************
Joel A. Rogers and Dr. Auset Bakhufu have both written books documenting that at least five former presidents of the United States had Black people among their ancestors. If one considers the fact that European men far outnumbered European women during the founding of this country, and that the rape and impregnation of an African female slave was not considered a crime, it is even more surprising that these two authors could not document Black ancestors among an ever larger number of former presidents. The president’s names include Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Warren Harding, and Calvin Coolidge.
The best case for Black ancestry is against Warren G. Harding, our 29th president from 1921 until 1923. Harding himself never denied his ancestry. When Republican leaders called on Harding to deny the "Negro" history, he said, "How should I know whether or not one of my ancestors might have jumped the fence." William Chancellor, a White professor of economics and politics at Wooster College in Ohio, wrote a book on the Harding family genealogy and identified Black ancestors among both parents of President Harding. Justice Department agents allegedly bought and destroyed all copies of this book. Chancellor also said that Harding's only academic credentials included education at Iberia College, which was founded in order to educate fugitive slaves.
Andrew Jackson was our 7th president from 1829 to 1837. The Virginia Magazine of History Volume 29 says that Jackson was the son of a White woman from Ireland who had intermarried with a Negro. The magazine also said that his eldest brother had been sold as a slave in Carolina. Joel Rogers says that Andrew Jackson Sr. died long before President Andrew Jackson Jr. was born. He says the president's mother then went to live on the Crawford farm where there were Negro slaves and that one of these men was Andrew Jr's father. Another account of the "brother sold into slavery” story can be found in David Coyle's book entitled "Ordeal of the Presidency" (1960).
Thomas Jefferson was our 3rd president from 1801 to 1809. The chief attack on Jefferson was in a book written by Thomas Hazard in 1867 called "The Johnny Cake Papers." Hazard interviewed Paris Gardiner, who said he was present during the 1796 presidential campaign, when one speaker states that Thomas Jefferson was “a mean-spirited son of a half-breed Indian squaw and a Virginia mulatto father.” In his book entitled "The Slave Children of Thomas Jefferson," Samuel Sloan wrote that Jefferson destroyed all of the papers, portraits, and personal effects of his mother, Jane Randolph Jefferson, when she died on March 31, 1776. He even wrote letters to every person who had ever received a letter from his mother, asking them to return that letter. Sloan says, "There is something strange and even psychopathic about the lengths to which Thomas Jefferson went to destroy all remembrances of his mother, while saving over 18,000 copies of his own letters and other documents for posterity." One must ask, "What is it he was trying to hide?"
Abraham Lincoln was our 16th president from 1861 to 1865. J. A. Rogers quotes Lincoln's mother, Nancy Hanks, as saying that Abraham Lincoln was the illegitimate son of an African man. William Herndon, Lincoln's law partner, said that Lincoln had very dark skin and coarse hair and that his mother was from an Ethiopian tribe. In Herndon's book entitled "The Hidden Lincoln" he says that Thomas Lincoln could not have been Abraham Lincoln's father because he was sterile from childhood mumps and was later castrated. Lincoln's presidential opponents made cartoon drawings depicting him as a Negro and nicknamed him “Abraham Africanus the First."
Calvin Coolidge was our 30th president, and he succeeded Warren Harding. He proudly admitted that his mother was dark because of mixed Indian ancestry. However, Dr. Bakhufu says that by 1800 the New England Indian was hardly any longer pure Indian, because they had mixed so often with Blacks. Calvin Coolidge's mother's maiden name was "Moor." In Europe the name "Moor" was given to all Black people just as the name Negro was used in America.
All of the presidents mentioned were able to pass for White and never acknowledged their Black ancestry. Millions of other children who were descendants of former slaves have also been able to pass for White. American society has had so much interracial mixing that books such as “The Bell Curve”, discussing IQ evaluations based solely on race, are totally unrealistic.
Barack Obama is not the first black president at all!

In the Future, Armed Drunken Policemen will be Banned
It is the year 2050.
Off duty police officers are banned from boozing and gun slinging.
In this preposterous futuristic science fiction spaghetti western, er, ah, ….
Oh.
….
This really happened today?
How about if you don’t hire raging alcoholics as policemen?
*******************************
Sheriff to ban deputies from mixing drinking, guns
The sheriff of Los Angeles County plans to prohibit his off-duty deputies from carrying their guns while drinking because several have been accused in recent years of firing weapons while intoxicated.
Sheriff Lee Baca says there has been a disturbing rise in alcohol-fueled misbehavior among his deputies.
Since 2004, more than a dozen deputies have been accused of brandishing or shooting a gun while under the influence of alcohol. More than 60 have been arrested this year on alcohol-related charges, most for driving under the influence and most of them armed at the time.
The deputies' union opposes the restriction. Union leader Steve Remige says it would let criminals know that deputies who had put them away would at times be unarmed.
*****************************
Wait a minute. In light of the fact that driving while under the influence is criminal behavior no matter who does it, let's rewrite that sentence:
“The criminals union opposes the restriction. Criminals Union leader Steve Remige says it would let law abiding citizens know that criminals who had put [their guns] away would at times be unarmed.”

Night School
Rebirth dreams are very haunting. I just had another one last night. They take place in buildings where I’m lost like in an M.C. Escher painting. The stairs go up but end down and go down and end up. This time the stairs were white. I was lost and every staircase I took ended at a dead end. I usually end up in an elevator and then a boat or some kind of waterway. It is obviously a rebirth / reincarnation dream.
This poem which I read on the Jane Crown show on October 12 was written just that morning and describes one of these dreams in which the staircase turned into a Tube and things got tricky as I had not learned how to properly make myself heavy.

One of my favorites
The Path
Subjected to mental scarification,
Man’s complacence weighs heavy upon the scales.
Thoughts are impaled and brought down by dead weight.
Words said, sedate
Like the fumes of men who opi-ate.
So hard to open gates
to Mystic Gardens long over-grown by thorny vines.
People drone on and put on ties to face the morning grind.
Could this be a warning sign,
of coming bad times for those who succumb, blind?
Hard to find ourselves inside the Hive’s myriad of cells.
Religion teaching us this isn’t Hell,
saying "It can’t be"…. I can’t tell.
In a swell of silent emotion
I’m surrounded by a violent commotion.
My security from all this comes from tried Devotion.
I’ve tried to motion for support,
subtly, like a player caught in a spiritual warfare.
But it seems there’re no more who care
so I’m left alone to stare
into the Mirror, which is Life.
My pupils dilate wide like tunnels to the inside
and I can see parts of my heart that have since died.
My sin cried, and even my eyes have tried but my tears are dried
Become dusty, barren, like the sands of time that slide through my cerebellum.
And all the while my inner-child plays alone
making His Way home
through the Fields of the Nephilem.

Massachusetts Decriminalizes Marijuana
Voted passed 65 to 35!
The people have spoken.
BOSTON - After Massachusetts voted to decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana, top law enforcement officials are scrambling to figure out what they need to do to put the law into effect - despite their efforts to defeat it at the polls.
Attorney General Martha Coakley, who joined all 11 of the state's district attorneys in opposing the ballot question, said Wednesday she was working to determine exactly what it will require the legal system to do.
"Question 2's passage not only authorizes the decriminalization of small amounts of marijuana, but also establishes a parallel civil regulatory structure that does not currently exist," Coakley said in a written statement. "At this time, we are reviewing all of the implications of the new law and whether further clarification or guidance is needed."
Massachusetts becomes the 12th state in the country to decriminalize possession of small amounts of marijuana. [I count 13th below] The measure passed Tuesday with 65 percent of voters supporting it and 35 percent opposed.
Adding Mass to the list of states that have decriminalized marijuana.
The conduct is treated like a minor traffic violation in the following states.
Alaska
California
Colorado
Maine
Massachusetts
Minnesota
Mississippi
Nebraska
Nevada
New York
North Carolina
Ohio
Oregon
Currently Rhode Island is a medical marijuana state. We hope the above will trickle down over the border and it will be decriminalized here soon.
Enough is enough! Sensible drug policy is a must. We have too many victims of the Drug War in prison while drunks drive around free! Let go of this Draconian drug policy.

Obama on Thursday was receiving the first of what will become regular briefings on highly classified information from top intelligence officials. The process of getting White House security clearances for staff members of Obama and McCain, depending upon who won, already had begun long before the election took place.”

We're Killing Our Mother!!!
In the November 2008 issue of the (Chesapeake) "Bay Journal" , Sara Kaplaniak reports that, not only are honey bee populations falling, apparently bats are also on the decline. According to scientists, they suffer from something called "white nose syndrome", named after circles of white fungus around the bats’ noses. The precise cause of this affliction isn’t known, however the affects are. The bat deaths are occurring at a rate greater than births, and this isn’t good. Bats have been reported to consume more than 1,000 mosquitoes and other insects on a nightly basis. Considering the fact that the mosquito can carry a virus that we sold to Iraq, and is now popping up in America since we attacked Iraq, it would be good for us to maintain a natural line of defense as we continue to come up with human solutions to our human-made problems. Now that I thin about it, could this fungus be a symptom of West Nile in bats? Probably not, but anyone who wishes to explore that theory please do. I’m no researcher.
The bats and the bees aren’t the only creature on the decline, but there are reports of falling fire-fly populations in the Mae Klong River area near Bangkok. The fire-fly, a symbol of summer, serves as a part of the food chain.
We’ve disrupted the balance of Mother Nature greatly, through all of our little luxuries and lazies. Now it’s time to take our heads out of the sand, and maybe even the books, and do at least one thing per day to give back. I have my sapling growing to be planted this Spring. What will you do?

Gentleness
Gentleness
Have no fear for the words I write.
If you can’t overstand now,
maybe the time for you isn’t right.
Mostly I incite parts of your brain
trained to remain latent.
These verses are for the patient,
not the haughty or self-righteous majority.
If you aren’t yourself a fan,
no need to fight just start ignoring me.
Those who are brave set out exploring me.
Those who hold dear their vanity
end up deploring me.
There’s no scoring me,
I will not be cut not be broken.
Were it not for the Love I have for the weak
I'd be even more out-spoken.
Nuclear Sub Accidents
This is an excellent post from Remy C’s Green Nuclear Butterfly site, click above.
Written by Hugh Haskell
As someone who served on the same nuclear aircraft carrier as McCain once did (although at different times) I may have some light to throw on this subject, although my nuclear carrier experience was little more enlightening on these questions than McCain's was.
First, naval nuclear power has some advantages over civilian nuclear power. First is size. the naval reactors are much smaller than civilian reactors, and are of a different design, so they are more self-contained than civilian reactors, and they are in a much more restricted environment, which tends to make them a bit safer--clearly the Navy doesn't want it reactors to be blowing up all the time, so they take great pains to build in heavy safety safeguards, and profit is not an issue, so if they need an extra safety valve, radiation monitor or better fire protection, they put it in. reactor personnel are very thoroughly trained, since they cannot call on the manufacturers for help when they are at sea, and, of all the departments that make up the ship's company, only the reactor department is always fully staffed and never subject to being moved to other duties, either temporarily or permanently.
That said, one must always remember that the function of naval ships is, when necessary, to sail in harm's way. We have never had one of our nuclear ships engaged in a battle at sea where shots, bombs or missiles were exchanged, so we have never had to face the prospect of the contamination that might result from a breached reactor in battle. I suspect that it would not be insignificant. However, we have had two nuclear submarines lost at sea, and the Russians more than two.
Neither of our lost subs were carrying nuclear missiles. Both the Thresher and the Scorpion were lost in deep sea accidents. They were both "attack" subs, rather than ballistic missile subs. Scorpion was returning tot he US from an operational deployment when it's accident occurred (circumstances not known for sure and all suggested causes have been rather controversial) so it was carrying nuclear weapons, but not missiles, probably just torpedoes). Thresher was on a test voyage after a major overhaul and so was carrying no weapons at all. Whether either reactor was destroyed in the accidents, I do not know, but it is known that neither reactor was involved in the cause of what happened.
Since naval reactors must have the capability of rapidly varying their power output, and we do not want to have to refuel them any more often than absolutely necessary, they are fuel with weapons-grade uranium, that is, 90% or higher U-235 enriched. The USS Enterprise, the nuclear carrier that both McCain and I served on carries 8 reactors, it has been refueled at least three times, maybe four. The way they do that is to cut holes in the flight deck and all the decks down to the reactor compartment, and pull the whole reactor out with a crane, and replace it with a new reactor, presumably improved and with a longer lifetime (presumably another reason why naval reactors tend to be safer--they do not have old components that have been around longer than the fuel they are using). The newer nuclear carriers have much improved designs and use only two larger reactors.
Submarines are never refueled. They are designed so that the reactor fuel will last for the design lifetime of the boat, and when they would need to be refueled, they are retired from service and broken up. That turns out to be cheaper than refueling them.
The reactors are, I believe, shipped to the Naval Nuclear Reactor Facility in Idaho, where they are dismantled and the spent fuel recovered. What happens to the waste from there, I do not know, but there is clearly plenty of it. I'm pretty sure that the spent fuel in not reprocessed, since, being mostly U-235 to start with, there won't be much plutonium to recover. But the reactor parts are all pretty radioactive by this time so they have to be handled as radioactive waste, and I'm not sure what that process is.
I'm not sure what is done with the Russian Naval reactors. What is pretty certain is that they were not built to anywhere near the standards that our boats were, nor has their waste material been as well handled (such as it is) as ours. They have lost at least three nuclear subs (and several other non-nuclear, but nuclear armed subs) and I think that the reactors in those subs may be leaking radioactive materials into the sea. At least one of them was lost in shallow water, and I don't recall if that boat was recovered. If not, it is almost certainly leaking into the Arctic Ocean at depths that can result in threats to humans.
All reactors, land-based or sea-based, discharge more or less small amounts of radioactive water, mostly containing tritium. Ships are supposed to catch the water to be released and bring it back to port with them, but it doesn't always happen, as recent admissions about radioactivity releases in Japanese waters reveals. It is worthy of note that at one point, the Navy had in its inventory, a submarine detector that worked by looking for the gamma radiation emitted by all reactors, which ended up in discharged water into the boat's wake.
The airborne detector looked for a slight increase in gamma radiation in the water, and then attempted to follow the track of that radiation to the sub. I don't know if it ever worked as advertised, but I recall that they Navy claimed that it had detected at least one Russian submarine with the device. I doubt that it was ever sensitive enough to be a reliable detector, and, of course, it only worked on nuclear-powered subs, which were never a majority of the Soviet submarine fleet.
A long response to a short question, but I hope it clarifies things a bit.
So how long does one submarine last for?
Not being a submariner, I don't know the answer to that question, but it's at least 15 years, maybe more. I think you can figure out the answer by looking at the commissioning and decommissioning dates for nuclear submarines in "Jane's Fighting Ships," which includes that kind of data. It might also be found in Wikipedia.
I left Enterprise in 1969, as it was entering the shipyard for its second refueling, which was scheduled to put reactors in that had a 15-year lifetime. So it has been refueled at least once since then, probably around 1985 (I retired from the Navy in 1976, so didn't follow those details much after that). Whether the reactors installed in 1985 had a 20-year lifetime or a longer one will determine if it has been refueled a fourth time. In any event, that one is likely to be its last, since it has now been in service for over 50 years, a very long time for a warship. It will be refueled a fourth time (if it hasn't already), and it is scheduled for decommissioning sometime around 2030, by which time it will have been in service for 75 years.
But submarines have a much shorter lifetime, especially modern ones with maximum depths well in excess of 1500 feet. Cycling to and from those extreme pressures accelerates the metal fatigue of the hull, and that is mainly what limits their useful lifetime. Nuclear reactor lifetime can be adjusted to pretty much whatever limits are imposed by hull life.

Written by Hugh Haskell
As someone who served on the same nuclear aircraft carrier as McCain once did (although at different times) I may have some light to throw on this subject, although my nuclear carrier experience was little more enlightening on these questions than McCain's was.
First, naval nuclear power has some advantages over civilian nuclear power. First is size. the naval reactors are much smaller than civilian reactors, and are of a different design, so they are more self-contained than civilian reactors, and they are in a much more restricted environment, which tends to make them a bit safer--clearly the Navy doesn't want it reactors to be blowing up all the time, so they take great pains to build in heavy safety safeguards, and profit is not an issue, so if they need an extra safety valve, radiation monitor or better fire protection, they put it in. reactor personnel are very thoroughly trained, since they cannot call on the manufacturers for help when they are at sea, and, of all the departments that make up the ship's company, only the reactor department is always fully staffed and never subject to being moved to other duties, either temporarily or permanently.
That said, one must always remember that the function of naval ships is, when necessary, to sail in harm's way. We have never had one of our nuclear ships engaged in a battle at sea where shots, bombs or missiles were exchanged, so we have never had to face the prospect of the contamination that might result from a breached reactor in battle. I suspect that it would not be insignificant. However, we have had two nuclear submarines lost at sea, and the Russians more than two.
Neither of our lost subs were carrying nuclear missiles. Both the Thresher and the Scorpion were lost in deep sea accidents. They were both "attack" subs, rather than ballistic missile subs. Scorpion was returning tot he US from an operational deployment when it's accident occurred (circumstances not known for sure and all suggested causes have been rather controversial) so it was carrying nuclear weapons, but not missiles, probably just torpedoes). Thresher was on a test voyage after a major overhaul and so was carrying no weapons at all.

Newish Poem
Censor Me?
I won't edit shit
No censorship
If I said it then I meant it
I let someone try to walk in my shoes
and backwards is where she went with it
Like, it went from a gem to a mineral collection
Absolutely no pressure
No shine, no reflection.
I appreciate suggestion,
but have to beg off when I'm censored.
Next thing you know, my intellect will be censured
Too many ryhmes, I'm told
within a single measure.
But see, cerebral calisthenics
are definately my pleasure!

Anu Era Becomes More Evident!
2000ad was to have been the year in human history. The end was upon us. In some ways, maybe it was. Bush was inserted into the White House. The stage was set for war and the revocation of all things Constitution. But now, just under 4 years before the next end of the world, a new era begins. Racism thrives in many places in the United States. Just look around you, or listen closely, and you still hear the words "nigger" and "cracker", "spic" and sand-nigger". Yet, yesterday We The People (sort of. Electoral college, at least) voted in the first Black American president. Even though there is speculation as far as the racial identity of 2 of our firsts, this man is undeniably a black man.
My excitement is coupled with a tinge of fear. At the age of 30, I never had to cope with the assassination of a president the way my parents did when JFK was taken from his people in a complicated conspiracy to commit murder. I fear for the family of President Obama, and I fear for his own life as well. I appeal to the Neteraat in this day that he and his are protected from the tragedy I’m sure some are already planning, and many more fantasize about. Amuwn
Ring out the Old, Bring in the Young
Analysis: Youth, minorities join to form new U.S. majority
By Paul West | paul.west@baltsun.com
WASHINGTON - America turned a page Tuesday.
Barack Obama broke through the racial barrier to the Oval Office, becoming the first African-American to gain the presidency. And his electoral landslide delivered a powerful message about a new generation of American leadership.
The young and minority voters who helped lift the 47-year-old Democrat to the White House are now the foundation of a new majority in U.S. politics. Their emergence likely brings to a close the era of conservative dominance that began with Ronald Reagan's election almost three decades ago.

Flag-waving gunman closes Calif. highway for hours
November 03, 2008 6:34 PM EST
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - A man in a ski mask waved an American flag and a handgun on a freeway overpass for about three hours Monday morning, forcing a massive traffic shutdown before he surrendered.
Police say crisis negotiators coaxed Edward Van Tassel, 28, to give up west of downtown Santa Barbara on Highway 101, a major route along the California coast. Traffic was jammed at least three miles in each direction.
After dropping his weapon, Van Tassel asked for a Barack Obama campaign sign, which authorities delivered to him using a bomb squad robot, police said. The man attached the sign and the flag to the overpass and later walked backward to officers, who took him into custody.
No shots were fired and police said the man's gun turned out to be unloaded.
Van Tassel, an Iraq veteran from Santa Barbara, was taken into custody without incident, said police Sgt. Lorenzo Duarte. The sergeant said Van Tassel had been in the Army but he did not have any details of his Iraq service.
As for the man's motive, Duarte said, "The reason appears to be anti-war, but I don't know the specifics."
Police were continuing to investigate a duffel bag and the man's car at the scene but "we have no credible threats or any threats of explosives," police Sgt. Jim Pfleging said.
Pfleging said Van Tassel will receive a mental health evaluation. Telephone directory assistance had no listing for Van Tassel.
Santa Barbara is 90 miles northwest of Los Angeles.

Overstanding Dreams of Redemption
Overstanding Dreams of Redemption
A 2o foot serpent fell from the sky.
Landed dead on a desolate back-block,
laid out low on the same kinda block I used to get high.
At first I thought it was a Cobra,
and by the Neteraat I'd been forsaken.
No, it was an anaconda,
Praises be to the Most High that I was so greatly mistaken!
It's taken just short of 1 year for this dream's meaning to become clear.
As soon as I surrendered my burden, my dis-ease,
I found my time to ascend had been ever so near.
By midnight candlelight, my vision has cleared,
with ancient chantings recently overtaken
by the lame, the queer.
Strange tongues numbed,
sedate exhilaration of samadhi.
I continue to raise vibrations to Orion
until the day I’m released from this body.

Last night, 20 foot Cobra fell from the sky.
When I awoke, it's meaning was revoked.
So now, amidst this sea of creativity I'm swimming
in I'm giving in as the memory of this dream is evoked.
Me and the Serpent hadn't spoke.
Only did I see it fall, land violently,
laying there stretched out straight,
20 feet of wisdom waiting silently.
I dare to perceive the number which is 20....
Or was it One? One Cobra?
Maybe 2? I and 1,
but that leaves more math to do.
Now I must fulfill the obligation to the cipher that remains.
Simply with that realization, mystery revealed, divinity proclaimed!
When I and one, one become as 2 then there is cipher.
Mind you, though deadly,
Cobra is no Viper. Cobra is Eye,
and I am NOT Viper.
Eye and I entwined,
2 in a cipher.
20 feet of cobra, which fell from the sky...
Though deadly, Wisdom's never viper.

I wrote this one day, bored, after getting a new dictionary. I just flipped it open, and randomly picked words to build a poem off of. I found it amusing, and at times disturbing how easy it was to create one that I could still stand by using that gimmick! I used the Webster's 11th addition Collegiate.

There are many more philogenticists just like me.
While you’re suppressed by life’s hysterics

Wait is that last one even a word?
I mean I’m subjugating the here and now

As you see, I’m well defined with or without my man Webster.
And, since I’m established as "free-cipher",
that makes me an independent variable
a spirit well know as being indefatigable
and like I and I to the patois deficient,
my cephalic calisthenics are inconceivable.
While the lowest ethereal escapists
Canonize without authority,
but rather respite or reprieve…
Goddamn How do I do this?
It’s my repose, see it’s noun peep 2b!
I’m sick with this it’s effortless dig how I do.

Dragnetting for a Savior, or, Should we take pills?
Lately I’ve been trying to figure out what is going on within my mind. It’s been what seems, to me, to be a bit stagnant. I’ve posted a lot of poetry, however most of the poems I consider to be of quality are old, and the new ones I post with not a small amount of shame. I don’t feel that they convey my thoughts properly. I’ve even gone so far as to blame medication and psychiatry. The truth is, this stagnation began a while ago, and there is none to blame but my own self. I had been weak and negligent when I should’ve been strong, and the those things manifested as pain; a pain which I medicated with street drugs, furthering the weakness and intensifying the pain. I became depressed and suicidal as I grew closer to the milestone age of 30, but the depression made me so lazy that I couldn’t even work up the energy needed to die. Thank the Neteru/gods for that!
So now here I am. I’d been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and placed on 3 meds (another trinity?), one of which I had to drop due to it’s side-effects, leaving me with a twice-a-day regimen of Lithium and Klonopin. These are the pills I condemn in my recent poetry, yet these same pills have allowed me to stop hurting. This reminds me of a Sunni saying that if the disease is on one wing of the fly, the cure is on the other. I’m unsure which is which at this point, which takes me back to my Anunnaqi essay. I thought it’d be better to come from a personal approach rather than a scholarly approach, as scholar I am not.
While sitting at the feet of my Teacher, we began with Islam. He taught me a bit of Arabic, and showed me the corruptions that were intentionally placed into it. The main thing I refer to here is that plurals were ignored when translating from the Farsi to the English. He then showed me how that also occurred in the Bible by teaching me a bit of Hebrew. (Note: I’m skipping TONS!) The word Allah is the same as the Hebrew El Eloh, which means something like "God, The Source. It is a Title, not a Name. He Showed me another thing; allahumma and eloheem, which are plurals of the same words aforementioned. We then got into the Babylonian doctrines and that is when I learned of the Anunnaqi, meaning "Those Sent to Earth From the Heavens By Anu." Anu means "on high, he who is above". This stays in direct line with the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim belief in a God who lives above us in the heavens somewhere, and also about the idea of angels. Malevolence and benevolence are choices they make in the faiths as well, however, these choices are set off by their nature, just as in humans. Though we can control most any complex we may be subject to, these complexes left unchecked are often the cause of disagreeable behavior.
The Bible talks of a number of people to be taken up to learn the secrets of the heavens and then sent to earth as teachers amongst the people. These are the 144,000. Many denominations are still waiting for this phenomenon. Haha, keep waiting. Oh lord, they want to be in that number, when the saints come marching in. Well, the rapture has BEEN happening, and the teachers are already amongst us. The ones who’d been sent to earth, and then left because we suck, have waited, and watched. Human DNA has markers in it, which Illuminati scientists call "junk". In that area of our essence which we are encouraged to pretend has no significance lies the deciding factor of who will go, and who will not. The rapture is for the elite, the sons and daughters of the Anunnaqi- Eloheem who will be the teachers of the masses who are still un-learned in many cases. They won’t be Jew or Christian, Buddhist or Muslim, Mormon or Mason: the 144,000 will be anyone who has the DNA of agreeable Anunnaqi, and who have not tainted themselves too badly with the indulgences of this world.
I’m not going to spend a lot of time on the whole thing, because it’s not really my place. Those books have been written, and it will be what it’ll be, and this isn’t as fun as what’s about to be typed. I have realized a conspiracy!
As a child, I had the normal experiences of being tested annually for aptitude and IQ and whatever else those elementary school tests are for. The test names I can recall are C.T.B.S… okay, test NAME I can recall. There are others though. I then had the abnormal experience of garnering much attention from guidance counselors and a special cat that ran something called "the gifted program". I had an IQ that is above George Bush’s alleged 125 by double digits, and I don’t mean 10. Smart as a whip as I was, I asked the "special guy" if there would be more homework in his class, to which he replied in the affirmative. I declined to participate. Man, fuck THAT. I hated school. Every part of it, even recess. I felt school was an adversarial setting, and I’m more for peace and harmony, though not always by participating in it. I just wanted to be left alone. Unhealthy as that sounds, I know why now. It’s because I was in mourning and didn’t want to be here; here on Earth. I hadn’t ask to come, I was sent, and I was sent because I was a hard-headed bastard and didn’t care for humans much. I have always wanted to see less of us on this planet. Even as a child I seethed with silent rage at the activities of man. This meant nothing to me until I read about the Anunnaqi. Enlil, or Lord of the Heavens, resented the creation of humans. However, Enki, Lord of Earth, interceded on behalf of our species with Their Father, Anu. He reminded that within the human was Anunnaqi genetics. Basically, he said let the drama unfold and we’ll see who’s correct in the end. Unfortunately, Enlil is winning, and the belief He held that we should be destroyed is validated on a daily basis. Look at us. We are bad news to this planet Her Self.
So I got tested, as did all the rest of the students. Now, I wonder why. From reading Paranoia magazine and other things that uncover clandestine governmental activity, as well as spending years studying with a Mason, I’ve come to believe that the tests are designed to find out who is and who isn’t a Child of the Anunnaqi-Eloheem (the agreeable ones). Once these beings are discovered on Earth, it is my theory that they are monitored and misled, possibly by stifling ability with psyche meds, to avoid a "savior" from ever appearing in the end times. Without a Saviors’ return, there can be no end to their reign! And what is a Savior but a sage, a Master Teacher, whom is able to reach out to the masses and cause the uprising against Roman culture? This savior could be you, or anyone of us. A Prophet and Master Teacher of these times has stated in 2000 that the savior was in the womb at that time. And now I’ve said too much. Peace
So now here I am. I’d been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and placed on 3 meds (another trinity?), one of which I had to drop due to it’s side-effects, leaving me with a twice-a-day regimen of Lithium and Klonopin. These are the pills I condemn in my recent poetry, yet these same pills have allowed me to stop hurting. This reminds me of a Sunni saying that if the disease is on one wing of the fly, the cure is on the other. I’m unsure which is which at this point, which takes me back to my Anunnaqi essay. I thought it’d be better to come from a personal approach rather than a scholarly approach, as scholar I am not.
While sitting at the feet of my Teacher, we began with Islam. He taught me a bit of Arabic, and showed me the corruptions that were intentionally placed into it. The main thing I refer to here is that plurals were ignored when translating from the Farsi to the English. He then showed me how that also occurred in the Bible by teaching me a bit of Hebrew. (Note: I’m skipping TONS!) The word Allah is the same as the Hebrew El Eloh, which means something like "God, The Source. It is a Title, not a Name. He Showed me another thing; allahumma and eloheem, which are plurals of the same words aforementioned. We then got into the Babylonian doctrines and that is when I learned of the Anunnaqi, meaning "Those Sent to Earth From the Heavens By Anu." Anu means "on high, he who is above". This stays in direct line with the Christian, Jewish, and Muslim belief in a God who lives above us in the heavens somewhere, and also about the idea of angels. Malevolence and benevolence are choices they make in the faiths as well, however, these choices are set off by their nature, just as in humans. Though we can control most any complex we may be subject to, these complexes left unchecked are often the cause of disagreeable behavior.
The Bible talks of a number of people to be taken up to learn the secrets of the heavens and then sent to earth as teachers amongst the people. These are the 144,000. Many denominations are still waiting for this phenomenon. Haha, keep waiting. Oh lord, they want to be in that number, when the saints come marching in. Well, the rapture has BEEN happening, and the teachers are already amongst us. The ones who’d been sent to earth, and then left because we suck, have waited, and watched. Human DNA has markers in it, which Illuminati scientists call "junk". In that area of our essence which we are encouraged to pretend has no significance lies the deciding factor of who will go, and who will not. The rapture is for the elite, the sons and daughters of the Anunnaqi- Eloheem who will be the teachers of the masses who are still un-learned in many cases. They won’t be Jew or Christian, Buddhist or Muslim, Mormon or Mason: the 144,000 will be anyone who has the DNA of agreeable Anunnaqi, and who have not tainted themselves too badly with the indulgences of this world.
I’m not going to spend a lot of time on the whole thing, because it’s not really my place. Those books have been written, and it will be what it’ll be, and this isn’t as fun as what’s about to be typed. I have realized a conspiracy!
As a child, I had the normal experiences of being tested annually for aptitude and IQ and whatever else those elementary school tests are for. The test names I can recall are C.T.B.S… okay, test NAME I can recall. There are others though. I then had the abnormal experience of garnering much attention from guidance counselors and a special cat that ran something called "the gifted program". I had an IQ that is above George Bush’s alleged 125 by double digits, and I don’t mean 10.

New poem
Resisting
All of my feelings are disappearing.
Medications have taken them away.
Cognition now a tedious thing.
Oh, and please….
Tell me what I did just yesterday?
I’m not surprised though,
that they’d diagnose and dose a god.
My body is growing weaker,
my mind is becoming fog.
Yet I should still take these goddamned pills,
and walk the streets of Nod.
If I don’t I’m like a Cherubim,
yet Seraphim I truly am.
To work out these ethereal quirks
is the only reason that I Am.
First stage of this,
rebellion.
I ran away, un-groomed, un-taught.
Them came the answers
carried on the wings of Ma’aat to sup with Thoth.
They saw me fly
heard me roar
watched me grow.
So they took my Will with Lithium,
in hopes I didn’t know.
Fuckers.

as the crack between the worlds opens, year's twilight arrives goblins and witches lead the way for saints and ancestors and the multitudes of the dead
