Right wing radio had no coherent arguments in defense of Karl's Jr today.
Limbaugh sounded like he was higher than ever
Hannity was pulling at straws summarizing Rove's lawyers' statements
They have no defense for treason... Doesn't make good talk radio justification material trying to protect a traitor in war times.

I think Randi is extremely annoying lately..I dunno. I really couldn't stand her today..get to the f'n point. Sam was great when he filled in for her and he was great again tonight, and I love his prank calls to these people too. I just think he's incredibly bright and quick on his feet. :)
Janeane, eh, I don't really like her. Don't hate her, but she's nothing special.
But Randi, she just won't stop screaming lately....and usually off on some tangent that I really don't care about.

>>"[You liberals] Never[have]any new ideas on how to solve problems. Only ways on how to obstruct solutions." -- Massachusetts Republican
The new right-wing mantra...full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
Basically, the Repubs are in power. We are the Loyal Opposition. It's not our job to be accommodating, it IS our job to point out your errors. You're in power, YOU FIGURE OUT THE SOLUTIONS, and if we don't like your solutions, we will bitch about it. That's the deal, and those are the consequences for having the combined powers of the Senate, White House, and Judiciary, as well as the media. Don't like it? Compromise.

He seemed to threaten one of them, because it didn't have a name but came from the San Francisco Unified School District (meaning he had to search the IP). Idiot.

She really needs to shape but. SHe needs to get the basic right, nothing fancy. (Hour one, she has to learn how to tell straight news, isntead of her usual open mic style. Then she needs to catch up on all basic reading, so she doesn't act all goofy by being illogical. Beyond that, outside the first hour, she can do all her rant/funny bit all she wants)
but fixing her hour one is critical. She is ruining her radio image.

Solutions are easy.
Roll back tax cut for the rich. FICA contribution for all income, not just up to 90K.
Give all people competent health care, the expense born by all, not just the middle class.
Get out of Iraq, now.
Try war criminals hiding out as government.
What other problems can't the neocons figure out?

PLEASE FOR TO PAY SOME THE ATTENTION NOW! IT IS TO ADMIRE FOR THE SWELLING!!!
Ok. Hi. I had one of those odious THINKY thingies in my HADE.
Sam keeps reaching flunkies on the phone, and while it makes good radio, it seems as if they'd be even better if he could reach some people who'd really rather he didn't.
He can't ask you for those phone numbers, nor can any of his staff, or anyone at AAR.
I don't work for Sam, or AAR. I work for The Mighty THOR. So I'm askin'...
Please send in those special phone numbers you've picked up!
No, SYNA, not 976-BUNG or anything like that. Thanks anyway.

Wanda: "but fixing her hour one is critical. She is ruining her radio image."
Frankly I don't think Janeane Garofalo gives a rat's ass about her 'radio image' and such a phrase would perhaps cause her to gag almost as much as a word like 'celebrity.'
Her open mike bit IS her image. Has been since her standup days. She's doing what she wants to do and we should expect nothing less. I mean, what do you want the first hour to sound like? Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update? Both she and Sam are doing fine and they shouldn't change a thing. Even and especially if the show's manager starts telling them what focus groups suggest or something.

You liberals are you, and other things that all of you are, so be ashamed of the things you all are, in your shame and evil that is jewy and killed Jesus.
If you hate war you hate America. If you hate America you hate Jesus. Arabs and jews are islamotic ravagers of innocence. There is no such thing as outnocence. We are watching you. You are watching us. Who is seeing a reflection in the eye of a newt, and who is just a liberal islamato-jew homosexual with a diaper for a hat?

By the end of 2003 I said that the chance of a major dollar-based financial crisis was one-in-a-hundred, and it was time for keeping that probability from growing any higher to become the highest economic policy priority.
By the end of 2004 I thought that the chance of a major dollar-based financial crisis was one-in-ten.
Now I think that the chances are one-in-five. It is still possible that we may escape unscathed: the dollar could fall by nearly half without foreigners ever demanding an expected-depreciation premium in interest rates, the foreign currency-denominated value of U.S. foreign debt could melt away, and the exchange rate stage could drive an export-driven boom that brought trade into balance as higher import prices shrunk imports. We did it in the late 1980s, after all--although starting from a disequilibrium only half as large as our current one.

That's not true, you made it up because you hate her because she's funny and and smart and cute and you're just a snitbucket.
Which is really becoming tiresome to read about.
We get it. Wanda is totally jealous of Janeane, and hates her because of it, albeit in a really pathetic and snitty way. Yes. We understand your veelings and validate them as yours, if not as productive, useful, or interesting. They are YOUR feelings, and you FEEEEEL them, DEEEEP inside your FEEEELY places. We understand.

1. News has to be highly relevant and heavily considered. (not just some random pick because she thinks it's 'cool')
2. Tell news end to end first, before going on tangent. it's basic. She can't even finish one sentence before going all over the place. commenting about herself, red meat to the dope, etc etc... It's very difficult to understand what the news she is trying to tell.
3. editorial has to be thought out. (ie. not all hammered into 'psychobabble' or some other dubious theory. Pragmatic first, connected the dot first, then go do funky theory)
basically, audiance will need to go home with ' aha! I didn't know/think about it before. thanks for telling me that. ..now it's all about 'watch me do talk really fast'

On March 8, 2003, the intelligence report on my trip was disseminated within the U.S. Government according the Senate report (pg. 43). Further, the Senate report states that "in early March, the Vice President asked his morning briefer for an update on the Niger uranium issue." That update from the CIA "also noted that the CIA would be debriefing a source who may have information related to the alleged sale on March 5." The report then states the "DO officials also said they alerted WINPAC analysts when the report was being disseminated because they knew the high priority of the issue."
The report notes that the CIA briefer did not brief the Vice President on the report and the Vice President let the matter drop.

Posted by: wanda at July 13, 2005 10:38 PM
Well Wanda. I think it's a good thing for all of us that Janeane and Sam are sitting in front of the mics getting heard by thousands, and you and I are sitting here in the blog being read by a couple dozen.
1. Their news has been highly relevant and heavily considered.
2. You're suggesting Garofalo be something she is not. She starts reading the story enough to get the audience on the same page as her. If she's going too fast for you, maybe you're just not the audience she's aiming at. She doesn't spoon feed things for the audience. That's for Faux News to do.
3. Her editorial has been thought out. She has certain certainties of her own mind and heart, and she flushes the new developments from the republican party through those filters. What you call 'psychobabble' is actually a well-conceived combination of opinions she has developed over the years. Things she's learned for herself to be absolutes from which I've yet to hear her deviate. I disagree with her on occasion, but I gotta respect her tenacity.
Again, if you don't get her 'style' that doesn't mean she should change it. Maybe it's you who should change the channel. She's just not your thing and there's no harm in that.

Rove Resigns Over Ignorance of Plame's Name
by Scott Ott
(2005-07-10) -- A tearful Karl Rove waved goodbye to reporters from the White House lawn today before boarding Marine One for his final ride in the presidential helicopter.
Mr. Rove's long political career came to a shameful end when his attorney was forced to admit that in 2003 the White House political advisor didn't even know the name of the wife of former ambassador Joe Wilson, nor what she did in her job at the CIA.
Official Washington has buzzed for weeks over rumors that Mr. Rove was the White House insider who blew CIA Agent Valerie Plame's cover.
But according to a memo written by Newsweek reporter Matthew Cooper, Mr. Rove didn't seem to know Ms. Plame's name, and had only a vague notion of what she did for a living.
The revelation sent shock waves through an administration that had relied heavily on Mr. Rove to make the president look competent.
"I have asked my dear friend Karl Rove to step down, for the good of the nation," said President Bush in a brief statement to reporters. "Karl will be tough to replace. As most of you know, he's the one who makes me look smart, even though I'm of average intelligence, with college grades no better than Sen. John Kerry's."

no basic item (the what), now reasoning (the why), I can't tell why anything she tell is relevant at all. (except for containing the classic keywords that she will automatically consider anything containing will be cool..

Wanda, with all due respect, Garofalo was hired by AAR do do precisely what she's doing. They didn't hire her and then want her to not do her schtick. If they wanted someone who fit the description you espouse, they woulda gotten someone else.
Your critique is commendable, but would not in the least improve MR. So I strongly urge you to discontinue criticizing the show. Not because you don't have a right to your opinion. You do. It's just that the more you voice this particular opinion of yours, that Garofalo can do no right by you? Well, you just sound sad, and a little unreal.

who bothers you more, janeane or rush?
Posted by: someYoungGuy at July 13, 2005 10:51 PM
frankly, Janeane. Because we know Rush is a wingnut. Janeane on the other hand is spreading dumb idea and wasting precious attention span by filling the air with weird stuff.
The point of AAR is to improve and accelerate news understanding in lefty crowd. Help people digest, point out, underline, framing, warning of wingnut move. ... all that while making it interesting.
dishing out 'retarded theory, filling the air with thoughtless drivels, .....are THE opposite what AAR suppose to be. It makes people dumber and more confuse by providing low quality information.

World Oil Magazine (January of 1992) reports this as a true story:
A supervisor in an oil industry service company was confronted with the problem of what to do with an employee who tested positive in a random drug test. To be sure that he could discharge the offender without getting the company involved in a plethora of civil rights lawsuits, the supervisor called the company’s shyster department to seek professional lawyer advice and had this conversation.
Lawyer: Is the employee a male?
Supervisor: Yes.
Lawyer: Is he Caucasian?
Supervisor: Yes.
Lawyer: Is he under 40 years of age?
Supervisor: Yes.
Lawyer: Is he handicapped?
Supervisor: No.
Lawyer: Is he Protestant?
Supervisor: Yes.
Lawyer: Do anything you want. He has no rights.

She was hired, because originally the show is designed as 'news with comedy twist' and all hosts are paired so there is interaction and dynamic. (and her peace activism in the run up of war of course.)
She is NOT hired to be a cute dumbass.
Posted by: wanda at July 13, 2005 10:58 PM
well, there is an outward-looking aspect and there is an inward-looking aspect with regard to the "liberal community". perhaps you have a point that she will not bring anyone in. the other function to evaluate is how well she provides "chicken soup" for the faithful. you can't argue that she doesn't do that.

Those who observe the interplay between Bush and the man he dubbed "the architect" of his 2004 reelection, say the relationship is something like that of an old married couple. There is bickering, rivalry, dependency and a sense of fun.
Deborah Dombraye, a campaign aide who traveled with the two during Bush's 1994 gubernatorial campaign, says Rove and Bush "are like twin brothers." They have a joshing bonhomie and communicate with each other so intimately that much of it is unintelligible to outsiders.
"They finish each other's sentences," says Dombraye, who now works for the Ohio Republican Party.
Despite the closeness, the two men came from very different worlds. Bush is the scion of wealth and power, a graduate of the nation's most prestigious schools. Rove grew up the son of an oil geologist who moved frequently around the West. He never graduated from college.
Uproar Has Roots in Rove's Vast Reach
#
They came together during young adulthood, when an ambitious former Texas congressman, George H.W. Bush, held the job of chairman of the Republican National Committee. It fell to the elder Bush to investigate allegations that Rove had used dirty tricks in a campaign for president of the College Republicans. The RNC chairman eventually cleared Rove, and was so impressed by the young operative that he hired him as an assistant.

On March 8, 2003, the intelligence report on my trip was disseminated within the U.S. Government according the Senate report (pg. 43). Further, the Senate report states that "in early March, the Vice President asked his morning briefer for an update on the Niger uranium issue." That update from the CIA "also noted that the CIA would be debriefing a source who may have information related to the alleged sale on March 5." The report then states the "DO officials also said they alerted WINPAC analysts when the report was being disseminated because they knew the high priority of the issue."
The report notes that the CIA briefer did not brief the Vice President on the report and the Vice President let the matter drop.

Time for Wanda to stop making the same old assertions, and examine them, as well as their implications. With me so far? Good.
What does Wanda expect from her endless fussing? If it's a form of release that's sought and found in all this, then no more need be said, except possibly "ew, cut it out, that's DISGUSTING ".
If it's results, i.e. a change in the show, particularly Janeane's work, then this might be a good time to point out that repeating the same activity over and over even when it doesn't work is one of the definitions of *insanity*.
Example: JG's love of banter has yet to translate into more than a penchant, it needs work. To that end, I just sent her links to a radio version of The Thin Man. Why? Because Powell and Loy were the best of the best, and set the standard.
IF you can figure out what changes you want, can you help her see the use of it? If not, you're wasting everyone's time. It bees that damn simplisticalitarianisticalomolous.

So far they've had all my requested guests except one, and I'm working on Tim at Randi's show to get that one. It's someone both Janeane and Randi have joined the mass media in marginalising, instead of focusing on her real work. It sucks, and they have to stop, or I'm going to stomp both of them, ON THE AIR.
Sam has been very open to my serious suggestions, and good about ignoring my more (ahem) exhuberant moments.
On the other hand, I sent Maron some art for his stickers because he's too goddamn CHEAP to hire an artist, and he didn't even send me a thank you e-mail, or have some twisted mutant like Colin do it. What kinda prima-dona shit is THAT? He's a fucking COMIC, fer CHRISSAKES, and *I* am goddamn ICEKNIFE THE UNFRUNCTABLE! Is little Marky-Marc Maroon a fucking veteran of a thousand psychic wars? NO?

I'm quoting myself to expand of what John just wrote. I think the quality of the show, the non-professional air to it, makes it closer and more personal than a regular station. I like that Sam quotes from the blog. I like that they acknowledge listeners, and tell in-jokes that the faithful understand. If S & J were professional, then there wouldn't be any sort of connection, I would get bored, and probably not listen, thinking that NPR had it under control.

most of my complain is about fundamentals. (how one analyse news, major issue framing, etc. I rarely gives a damn about jokes. funny...ha ha... not funny.. so what. But framing and analytical correctness is important. )
Let's take one more example: Do you think Janeane follow ROve v. plame situation? understanding the big picture from daily development. I bet a shiny dime she doesn't have a clue what the fuck is happening. (eg. the massive framing battle and spinning GOP is doing right now, the content of those spinning, the significance of those spins in regard to legal defense... etc..)
She couldn't care less. Her political interest is about as sophisticated as a fidgety 14 years old. She simply doesn't read daily development.

Miller could take all of them down ...
From putting together all of the pieces about the Plame affair that have appeared here in the past few days, it looks as if the initial information leaked from the State Department, from the file they keep on Joe Wilson. That probably means John Bolton, who had access to State Dept files, is the one who introduced the information abot Plame to the White House staff.

>>Her political interest is about as sophisticated as a fidgety 14 years old.
I can't argue with you about that, because there's a lot of truth to what you're saying. It just doesn't bother me as much, because I see the trade-offs, and I am grateful to her for standing up.
I feel for Janeane, I view her as someone with courage, who is now bitter. A person who gave up a certain amount of security to fight the battles she's fought against the Right. She's also brilliant and brave. I've said all of this before.
I think she's just had enough. She's paid dearly, too. Here's my armchair analysis (for what it's worth): She tired, she's worked hard for 5 years, she's borne loads we will never have to, and she'd like to put them down, but then she'd get it from the left, too. She's maybe evens bored with the job. She doesn't have enough energy to carry her load, AND expand and grow at the rate you'd like to see.
I'm most likely totally projecting here, but what can I say? My suspicions make me cut her some slack, and forgive her wild ways.

A couple of observations on the Benedict Rove case:
1. The GOP pushback is spotty.
The RNC sought to get its peeps on message, distributing a talking points doc (uncovered by Raw Story) that mainly sought to smear whistleblower Joe Wilson instead of explaining the contradictions in Rove’s and Scott McClellan’s statements.
And Talking Points Memo reports that the White House was in heavy damage control mode:
Everyone I hear from today says that the White House is going after Joe Wilson hard in their background conversations with reporters. Apparently Karl Rove himself.
(Reporters are letting Rove talk on background about his own scandal. Scandalous.)
But despite the White House-RNC coordination, not all Republicans got on board.

Thing that got me was not her list of things she hated, since she was obviously crazy as a Cyborg, but fact that always somebody agreed with her prohibitions. Must be a yearning deep in human heart to stop other people from doing as they please. Rules, laws— always for other fellow. A murky part of us, something we had before we came down out of trees, and failed to shuck when we stood up. Because not one of those people said: "Please pass this so that I won't be able to do something I know I should stop." Nyet, tovarishchee, was always something they hated to see neighbors doing. Stop them "for their own good"—not because speaker claimed to be harmed by it.

Thousands of years ago, an astonishing gift was delivered to humankind: the tools to control and transform every life challenge. These tools came in the form of 72 individual combinations of an ancient group of sacred letters.
Because of their Divine source and the superhuman power contained in them, these three-letter combinations came to be known as the 72 Names of God.
But these aren't "names" in the ordinary, earthly sense of the term. They're actually energy fields, visual mantras that are activated spiritually rather than vocally. In other words, you don't have to know how to pronounce them. And you don't need to understand exactly how or why they work.
All you have to do is look at them. Incredibly, mysteriously, in that simple act, enormous power is unleashed.
The story of Moses and the Red Sea is well-known to most everyone; it’s even been an Academy Award-winning film. What is not known, according to the internationally-prominent Kabbalist Rabbi Yehuda Berg, is that a state-of-the-art technology is encoded and concealed in the biblical story. The technology is called The 72 Names of God and it is the key – your key – to ridding yourself of depression, stress, creative stagnation, anger, illness and other physical and emotional problems. In fact, The 72 Names of God is the oldest, most powerful tool known to man, far more powerful than any 21st century high-tech know-how when it comes to eliminating the garbage in your life so that you can wake up and enjoy life each day. Indeed, The 72 Names of God is the ultimate pill for any and every thing that ails you because it strikes at the DNA level of our soul.
Sounds more like Star Wars or Star Trek. It is. It is the next evolution of humankind: a mind-over-matter revolution.
Now, for the first time in one single volume, appropriately titled The 72 Names of God, Rabbi Berg, adviser to thousands of students, most notably Madonna, illuminates how you, yourself, can experience this revolution. In an easy to read format, and in just as easy to comprehend and appreciate language and terms, Rabbi Berg presents the power and significance of God’s 72 names as the tools for understanding and, more importantly

Alright, here's the situation as I see it.
In reality, Karl Rove is a sleeze ball political operative who was without a doubt trying to use the fact that Wilson's wife worked at the CIA to create the apperance of a scandal and discredit Wilson's criticisms of Bush's yellow cake story (I know, that's alot to fit into one sentence). Rove represents everything that's wrong with politics in America (don't take that to mean that I'm ignoring the left wing political smear machine). I have no love for Karl Rove.
Right now, the wheels of justice are still turning on the Rove case. There is a Federal Investigation into what happened when and who said what to whom. Eventually, I am confident that the special prosecutor will uncover all of the fact of this case. Personally I think that Rove did not know that Valarie Plame had been a covert CIA operative, when he realized that he had outed a covert operative he shut his mouth and lied to the FBI about his involvement.
So why am I defending him so doggedly then hun? Right now the left wing smear machine is running full tilt at Rove. Not only have you already tried and convicted Rove, but you're ready to schedule his execution. Turning the left wing smear machine loose on the right wing smear machine isn't going to fix what's wrong with America. Letting the justice system and the special prosecutors finish their job is the only thing that is going to help correct the things that are wrong with America right now.
Besides, if Rove resigns now then he guarantees himself an indictment. Worst case scenario, Rove goes to trial, takes the fall, gets convicted and Bush pardons him and that's the end of it. It ides there. What does that really change?

dealing with life’s daily complexities . . . the tools that transcend religion, race, class, culture, age, and gender.
There is no more need for the quick fixes of the past. Flush the drugs down the toilet. Pour the alcohol in the drain. The 72 Names of God represent the singular vehicle for helping us help ourselves. They allow you to be your own therapist because they’re easy to use and can solve immediate problems, from anger and stress to depression, from lethargy to lack of creativity, from minor aches and pains to illness.
In the pages of this book, Rabbi Berg explains how to apply the 72 Names of God as the ultimate tool to your daily physical and emotional well-being—a simple and concise, yet, hip and modern guide to dealing with life and its challenges each and every day. He explains the Names, each containing three letters, their uses and their origins for the first time in history.
The 72 Names of God are not “names” in any ordinary sense. They have nothing to do with the signature on an envelope or the back of a credit card. Rather, they represent the connection to the infinite spiritual current that flows through life’s realities.
Do not accept any of the lessons or wisdom presented in this book blindly or on faith alone. In fact, don’t even “read” the book; USE IT. Test everything presented. Apply The 72 Names of God and experience their power in real life. Tangible results should be your only yardstick when measuring the potency of this book.
And potency is what this book is all about. Indeed, this is a book of power—the power of the mind, the power of the soul, and the power of the unseen spiritual force of God that permeate our existence. When you harness these three power sources—the three letters of each name of God—and correctly bring them together, you acquire the capability to control and positively transform human nature, mother nature and, in turn, your entire world.

What was the point of bringing it up as a "warning" to these reporters if he didn't know?
What was the point of mentioning her working for the CIA at all?
This was a deliberate act that makes no sense if he didn't have the presumption that Wilson didn't have anything to lose.
How could he not have known That she had been working while out of the country...She's married to a former ambassador...They lived outside this country.
He was fully aware otherwise there would be no point to his emphasizing the point that she worked for the CIA would there?

Evening all.
Here's a little good news:
Poll suggests drop in Bush's personal credibility
59 minutes ago
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush's personal credibility appears to be eroding at a time when Iraq has become the top public priority and the White House is engulfed in controversy over senior Bush adviser Karl Rove, a poll released on Wednesday suggested.
The NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll showed the percentage of Americans who believe Bush is "honest and straightforward" fell to 41 percent from 50 percent in January, while those who say they doubt his veracity climbed to 45 percent from 36 percent.
The telephone survey, which was conducted July 8-11 and included responses from 1,009 adults, also showed that Iraq has replaced jobs as the leading issue among Americans.
With a 3.1 percent margin of error, polling data said 40 percent see Iraq as the top priority for the United States, against 34 percent who view jobs as their main concern. In January, jobs ranked highest among 46 percent to 39 percent for Iraq.
The new poll also showed Bush's overall job approval rating slipping to 46 percent from 47 percent in May, while his disapproval rating crept upward to 49 percent from 47 percent.
The White House this week has been reeling amid controversy over Rove, the top Bush political adviser who was named by a Time magazine reporter as one of the sources who identified CIA agent Valerie Plame to the media in 2003.

By Myself and Then Some
by Lauren Bacall
The epitome of grace, independence, and wit, Lauren Bacall continues to astound generations with her audacious spirit and on-screen excellence. Together with Humphrey Bogart she produced some of the most electric scenes in movie history, and their romance on and off screen made them Hollywood's most celebrated couple.
But when Bogart died of cancer in 1957, Bacall and their children had to take everything he had taught them and grow up fast. In a time of postwar communism, Hollywood blacklisting, and revolutionary politics, she mixed with the legends: Hemingway, the Oliviers, Katharine Hepburn, Bobby Kennedy, and Gregory Peck. She was engaged to Frank Sinatra and had a turbulent second marriage to Jason Robards. But Bacall never lost sight of the strength that made her a superstar, and she never lost sight of Bogie.
Now, on the silver anniversary of its original publication, Bacall brings her inspiring memoir up to date, chronicling the events of the past twenty-five years, including her recent films and Broadway runs, and her fond memories of many close lifelong friendships. As one of the greatest actresses of all time turns eighty, By Myself and Then Some reveals the legend in her own beautiful frank words -- encapsulating a story that even Hollywood would struggle to reproduce.

Rove’s Lawyer Falsely Smeared Matt Cooper
Luskin tried to embarrass Time reporter Matt Cooper in the New York Times by claiming Cooper never got an “express person release”:
[Cooper] told Judge Thomas F. Hogan of the Federal District Court in Washington that he had received “an express personal release from my source.” That statement surprised Mr. Luskin, Mr. Rove’s lawyer. Mr. Luskin said he had only reaffirmed the blanket waiver, in response to a request from Mr. Fitzgerald.
He essentially got a whole story on the front page of the New York Times based on that claim. In fact, Cooper did get an “express personal release.” And it was in written form. Cooper’s lawyer read it to the press corps this afternoon:
Consistent with his written waiver of confidentiality he previously executed, Mr. Rove affirms his waiver of any claim of confidentiality he may have concerning any conversation he may have had with Matthew Cooper of Time magazine during the month of July 2003.
Isn’t it time to stop smearing people and start telling the truth.

FLASHBACK: In 2000, Rove Called For Gore To Come Clean Over Ethical Issues
During the 2000 presidential campaign, Karl Rove, then-Bush campaign strategist, appeared on Fox News to try to undermine Vice President Al Gore’s credibility and truthfulness by questioning his involvement in a 1996 campaign fundraiser at a Buddhist temple. Here’s what Rove said:
The vice president has some trouble telling the truth. And he now says he made mistakes. Those weren’t mistakes. These involved violations of the law. People are going to jail over this… This is more than just a little teensy-weensy mistake… These are very substantive questions about the ethical conduct about the vice president and his ability to tell the truth. [Fox News Sunday, 3/12/00]
Does this remind you of a present-day scandal? So what was Rove calling for at the time? Full disclosure.
We now know there are photographs that exist of the meeting. Let’s release all the photographs. The vice president has the authority to do this. Let’s release all the photographs of the meeting and see how attentive the vice president was. [Fox News Sunday, 3/12/00]
Applying Rove’s standards to Plamegate, he should release his emails regarding the leak scandal from July 2003 to clear his name. Or, as the New York Times suggests in an editorial this morning, “Mr. Rove could clear all this up quickly. All he has to do is call a press conference and tell everyone what conversations he had and with whom.”

July 11 Comes and Goes: No Iraq Indicators
Two weeks ago, David Broder pointed out that the Bush administration would soon face a congressionally mandated make-or-break moment regarding its Iraq policy:
Under a little-noticed provision of the defense spending bill passed by Congress in May, Secretary of Defense Don Rumsfeld has until July 11 to send Capitol Hill a “comprehensive set of performance indicators and measures of stability and security” two years after the fall of Saddam Hussein […]
The information required is specific and detailed. It includes measures of the security environment, including the number of engagements per day, the count of trained Iraqi forces and more. It orders up indicators of economic activity. It directs Rumsfeld to provide — either in public or in classified annexes — an estimate of U.S. military forces needed in Iraq through the end of calendar 2006 and the criteria the administration will use to determine when it is safe to begin withdrawing forces.
The deadline came and went yesterday without a peep from DoD. Today, a Pentagon spokesperson told me that those Iraq indicators have indeed been “delayed” and that there is currently no specific date set for their release. Apparently the administration is willing to do just about anything — including violate the law — to avoid giving Americans a detailed assessment of our progress (or lack thereof) in Iraq.

Suppose you're right. Suppose that you even get your way and Bush get's Impeached. Then what? Cheney becomes President? Let's go way off the deep end, let's say that Bush and Cheney both get impeached. Then what? Dennis Hastert becomes President. Do you think that impeaching Bush is going to get us out of Iraq sooner? It won't. There is almost no one in congress that wants a full withdrawl from Iraq. Even the Democrats realize that we cannot withdrawl until the Iraqi security forces are capable of securing the country. The fact is (as I've said before) whether or not Bush lied us into the war is no longer relevant. America will have to stay in Iraq until the Iraqi army is capable of securing the country. If you want to punish Bush for Iraq, then why not wait until he's out of office (and there is no one to pardon him) and try bringing him up on charges?

Bush Passes on Public Endorsement of Rove
By TOM RAUM, Associated Press Writer
1 hour, 33 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - President Bush passed up a chance Wednesday to express confidence in senior aide Karl Rove in a political fight over a news leak that exposed a CIA officer's identity. The lack of endorsement surprised some White House officials who had been told Bush would back his embattled friend.
Rove's lawyer, Robert Luskin, later asserted that Rove had "cooperated fully" in the federal investigation, had done nothing wrong and was prepared to provide additional information to a special prosecutor if needed.
"This is a serious investigation," Bush told reporters after a Cabinet meeting, with Rove sitting just behind him. "And it is very important for people not to prejudge the investigation based on media reports."
Later in the day, White House spokesman Scott McClellan insisted that Rove did have Bush's support. "As I indicated yesterday, every person who works here at the White House, including Karl Rove, has the confidence of the president," McClellan said.
Bush said he would not discuss the matter further until a criminal investigation is finished.

Oh ahh
I believe everything you say
’cuz your not frightened
The way I’ve been so
So I follow you
Just in case you lose your way
So glad you let me stay around
The chain link fence you climbed
To make forbidden lakes our own
Your’s and mine
And with ease of the sea gulls
We cut the engines and cruise high
In the summer sky
Babae
Now I could speak to everything
But there’s no room for my voice
When sweet feed back is
Jumping through the hoop of your ear
Ring there goes the phone
And then you’re off again
On what the caller brings you
So I went and trashed myself at the bar
Confused for nothing thinking you’d be there
I’m so embarrassed cuz it’s you
Who comes to take care of me
Shambling home again with you lead
And it’s not the way I want to go
And I’m mad at you and I’m mad at me
Talking endlessly, not a kind word to say
Till your amber beads of wisdom come
And I want to write it down
Just the way you said it, oh no
So I could keep it always
Always
I can’t forget the smell
Of summer trees at midnight
Bending backwards to please the wind
You touch the tattoo of the sun
On a warm belly that once carried a baby for a while
Then let that crackled leather jacket round you fold
Red face saints monogrammed in gold
And in this beauty I would not go any further
’cuz I suddenly remembered
We can’t live this way forever
Idle daylight
I’ve never caught you in a lie
Not until now
I feel somehow
I’ve felt the passing of these days gone by
What will you do when the feeling
That you have is through
I need to know
Cuz I’ll never stop hanging on to you
And it’s times like this that I dread
When there’s everything to say
And nothing left
To be said
To be said
And it makes me sad

2.) Sand-glasses, who retain nothing and are content to get through a book for the sake of getting through the time.
3.) Strain-bags, who retain merely the dregs of what they read.

CSPI Calls on FDA to Require Health Warnings on Sodas
-snip-
In a petition filed today with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), CSPI asked the agency to require a series of rotating health notices on containers of all non-diet soft drinks-carbonated and non-carbonated-containing more than 13 grams of refined sugars per 12 ounces. (The typical 12-ounce soda contains 40 grams.) CSPI said that those messages could include:
• The U.S. Government recommends that you drink less (non-diet) soda to help prevent weight gain, tooth decay, and other health problems.
• To help protect your waistline and your teeth, consider drinking diet sodas or water.
• Drinking soft drinks instead of milk or calcium-fortified beverages may increase your risk of brittle bones (osteoporosis).
CSPI also said that caffeinated drinks should bear a notice that reads "This drink contains x grams of caffeine, which is a mildly addictive stimulant drug. Not appropriate for children."
"It is obvious to physicians who treat obese children that the extra 200, 300, or 400 empty calories kids get from soft drinks contribute to weight gain," said Dr. Caroline M. Apovian, director of the Nutrition and Weight Management Center at Boston Medical Center. "If you want to stop the epidemic of childhood obesity, curbing soda consumption is the place to start. Health messages on labels would certainly help parents and teens be aware of the risks."

But Cheney would last would he..Blood would be in the water...he'd get torn to shreds...so we look to hastert who would come out in strong disapproval of the previous administration...
Can you imagine the impassioned speeches?
Imagine the republicans outing the neocons in their midst and taking their party back for the conservatives?

BREAKING: Top Dems Formally Demand Termination of Rove's Security Clearance
Massachusetts Rep. John Tierney (D) today announced that all Democrats on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence today sent a letter to President Bush demanding that White House Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove's security clearance be revoked in the wake of revelations that he was involved in the leak of a covert CIA operative's name.
This is a major development - Democrats of all stripes on the committee are coming together to do what's right. And as I wrote yesterday, historical precedent shows that the absolute least the White House must do is make sure a security risk like Rove is not allowed access to anymore classified information. Let's see what President Bush's formal response to this letter will be.

Come to Canada!
It seems to me the U.S. has made its choice. And its going to be war, gas guzzelling SUV's, happy meals and clowns sitting on the red button.
We've got health care any way you like it (privatised has recently worked its way in), good clean water (which your future generations can defend from American companies), thousands and thousands of untrodden forests, plenty of wild lands still left to explore, beautiful single men and women, wonderful families, cities of every size and venue, pretty low crime rates, wide open skies and horizons as far as you could imagine.
Politically, we like to bitch locally and but it never causes the deaths of untold millions on the other side of the planet. Sure we still bomb people...but its with pallets of grain and clothing, not high yeild explosives and shrapnel.
There are plenty of worthy causes up here that all of you can fullfill and take the head on. And people will listen. Things will change.
Best of all, with our clean enviroment and good health care, you'll be around long enough to properly see your daughter married and your grandchildren come into the world with a pretty good political slate.
One downside: putting up with all the air, water, and broadcasting pollution coming from our southern nieghbors. But then again, the broadcasting part is easier to shut off here too.
Take care!
Seriously think about it.

I disagree that it will have any long term effect on the political tone. Bush is an oddity as a Republican. Conservatives cut taxes and cut spending. Bush cut taxes and increased spending. Conservatives reduce the size and power of the Federal government and support state's rights. Bush has increased the size and power of the executive branch of government and integrated federal law enforcement with state and local law enforcement. Etc.
My point is that whoever runs in the next election is not going to have a hard time differentiating themselves from Bush and the Neo-cons. There is already a growing movement among Republicans in congress to separate themselves from Bush. There has been for sometime.
Impeaching Bush isn't going to do anything other than unite the parties against each other and waste alot of time and money and entrench the partisans further. The senate will never convict Bush, and there is no way the Democrats will unseat enough Republicans in '06 to shift power in the Senate.

The etheric body can leave the physical, but when it does, I don't think it goes any great distance. I think its role is a "life energy" body. When the body goes to sleep, the etheric expands, the chakras open, and we receive energy and restore our depleted supply. This is why it is also referred to as the vitality sheath or health body. When I'm tired and drained, I can lay down for half an hour, enter a trance like state and wake up feeling totally refreshed. This is not the projection of the astral body, but a charging of the etheric. If the etheric projected a great deal, our bodies would feel drained, not refreshed, upon return. When I astral project, my etheric is doing its job of replenishing my body, and when I come back, I am refreshed. The two are independent.
When people experience "duality" aka mind splitting (where the consciousness resides at two locations) I believe one part of the consciousness is in the etheric and another one is in the astral.

One In Three Americans Believe In Ghosts!
An even larger number of Americans believe that houses can be haunted, with 37% holding that position, 46% saying no, and 16% not sure.
Undated -- Gallup is reporting that a recent poll found a third of Americans "believe in ghosts!"
The poll shows 32% of all adults say they believe that "ghosts/spirits of dead people can come back," while 48% do not, and 19% are unsure.
Even more Americans believe that houses can be haunted, with 37% holding that position, 46% saying no, and 16% not sure.
And along political party lines, 42% of liberals saying they believe in ghosts, but only 25% of conservatives and 35% of moderates say they do.
The poll also indicates that a belief in ghosts declines with age. Forty-five 45 of those 18 to 29 say they do, but only 22% of those 65 and over still believe.
The poll was based on interviews with 1,002 adults, with a plus or minus 3% sampling error.

There are also a lot of discrepancies on the silver cord. I personally have never seen this cord (but I haven't really looked for it either). Is has been suggested that the cord is related to etheric projection, not astral. If the cord was associated with just astral projection, then we would see it every time we astrally projected.
I remember once leaving my body and out of curiosity I looked back towards my physical body. I saw a body, but it was in a totally different position than my physical! It was the etheric body that I was seeing. In the astral, we see the astral counterparts of the physical, but I think we can also see our etheric shell (this explains why I saw the etheric body, and not the physical).
On several occasions, during meditation, I have been able to see the ceiling through my physical eyelids. This is also not astral projection.
People who are sickly have reported more OBEs. I think this is because the etheric is weak and the astral is able to separate more easily. Both our physical and etheric bodies are magnetic in nature and influence the pull of the astral.
When objects are moved, I think it is more from the influence of the etheric body, rather than the astral which does not share the same vibrations as objects in the physical. The etheric is of a higher vibration than the physical, but lower than the astral.

The astral body is aligned with the physical and is of a lower vibration when it is attached. To unattach, the frequencies must be raised. The astral body can transcend various levels in the astral plane. It reacts to thoughts and can see the astral counterpart of the physical world. It cannot affect physical objects because they do not share the same vibrations. The astral body can transcend time and space. There is a feeling of separation when consciously projecting from the body. Rushing, vibrating, roaring, crackling and popping (to name a few). When in the astral, our filter is removed and we are able to see, hear and feel more.

The mental body is where remote viewing happens. When you achieve bi-location during remote viewing, there is no feeling of separation as with astral projection. There is also no visual distortion as there sometimes is with astral projection (depending on where you are at on the astral plane). My first "projection" was a mental one. I went straight from the physical to the mental body which explains why there were no vibrations. I just involuntarily "popped" out and was several blocks away. I also think the mental body is often independent of our physical one. Unlike astral projection, when I separate, I detach from the body and travel accordingly. In the mental, you just show up somewhere and have done nothing to travel there. The mental body does not contain the thought "junk" of the astral. You may be able to see partial thoughts formed in the astral (as in a partially built ship), but not in the mental. When I wake up in the mental, I am usually nowhere near my body and have no sensation of a body of any kind. I once "woke up" in the mental and I had no way to determine where I was. It was pitch black, I had no ears, no eyes, no body. It was a void that I remained in until a sudden return to the physical. It was a pure state of 'being'.
The mental body also transcends time and space. Advanced remote viewers, using their mental body, communicate telepathically.

Guess what? Men don't mind seeing naked women...
ROME (Reuters) - Most Italians think nude sunbathing is perfectly natural and don't mind crossing paths with bottomless beach-goers -- even when those bottoms are unsightly, survey results released Sunday said.
While topless sunbathing is widely practiced in Italy, bottoms are usually required and nudists can face fines of more than 500 euros ($595) on some beaches, the Italian Naturalist Federation said.
But the federation said a poll it commissioned from a mainstream media outlet found nearly 70 percent of those surveyed said they would sunbath nude if everyone else did it. More than 80 percent said nudism was not erotic, but natural.
Women were more frequently bothered by nude sunbathing than men. Just over 40 percent of women said they did not like seeing other naked females on the beach, while just 5 percent of men shared their opinion about nude women.

Suicide bomber 'had all to live for'
A senior security source, who has viewed the CCTV footage, said: "They were chatting. You would think they were going on a hiking holiday."
"More ands more the evidence indicates that the accused men are not the type to engage in acts of terror, especially acts in which they will knowingly die.
Suicide is an act of someone who thinks they have nothing to live for. That does not fit these individuals.
Yet even as the evidence stares them in the face the media will not wander from the mandated first assumption of guilt-without-proof.
Meanwhile, I call your attention to the mention of Israeli security company ICTS further down. ICTS, it should be remembered, handled security at all the airports from which the 9-11 planes departed."

The causal body is where past life memories are stored. This plane is one up from the astral. When we die, we enter the astral and eventually experience a second death (the astral body diminishes) and we enter the causal plane where we then remember our past lives and can then make decisions for our next.

In an apparently chaotic world filled with inequity and perceptions of disconnectedness, it's not unusual to experience ourselves as separate beings, longing for union with God. A sense of stability and consistency, although highly prized, is sometimes difficult to find. For the unconditional love we all crave, we can look toward the constant tremendous force of the Sun and the method it has evolved to feed every life in its reach. A beautiful tapestry unfolds as we study the distribution of light and heat, the very life-force from the fiery heart of our Sun, to all units of life. Entire devic kingdoms are employed to achieve this end, their one goal to spread the love and life of the Sun to all living things. (Devas experience a parallel evolution to humanity that fulfills their evolutionary task by literally energizing all living forms.) Varying degrees of these angelic beings (another name for these entities) are needed for the highly specialized work they perform—certain devas inform and energize only plant life, whereas others only work with animals, humans, minerals, etc.

For certain devas the path of service lies in guarding the individuals of the human family; others act as protectors of the sacred spots of the earth. Still others preside over the atmosphere and control the streams, rivers, and seas. Any time we perceive life, we see the devas at work ... transmitting the energy from the sun (prana) to all life forms.
The etheric body is the mechanism through which they work and has been described as a network of fine energy strands permeated with fire, or as a web animated with golden light. It is spoken of in the Bible as the "golden bowl." It is the gridwork that all forms are built upon, composed of fine interlacing strands of etheric material. These strands attract physical plane matter to them and interpenetrate with it, eventually molding the actual forms we see as life.
Once the forms are built, the etheric body's function is to store up the rays of light and heat (prana) received from the sun and to transmit them, via the spleen, to all parts of the physical body. The Secret Doctrine by H.P. Blavatsky speaks of prana as "the invisible and fiery lives which supply the microbes with vital constructive energy thus enabling them to build the physical cells. Every visible thing in the universe is built by such lives."
Posted by: Anonymous Coward at July 14, 2005 1:07 AM
Prana is best described as vitality, as the integrating energy that coordinates the molecules, cells, and cellular structures, and holds them together as a physical organism. It is the life-breath within the organism and a portion of the universal Life Force, appropriated by all organisms during their existence. Were it not for the presence of prana, there could be no physical body as an integral whole, working as an entity; without prana the body would be nothing more than a collection of individual cells. Prana links up and connects these into one complex whole, playing along the branches and meshes of the etheric web, that shimmering and golden web of inconceivable fineness and delicate beauty. All forms, whether a solar system, a human body, a plant, or a rock, are built from the archetype or "blueprint" of this energy field.
Prana is not a product of terrestrial life—it comes from the Sun. In fact, all earth life, its plants and animals are its products. All things absorb prana in order to survive. This absorption is not, however, an isolated or one-time process. As a life form absorbs this life force to maximum capacity, the excess overflows from it in the form of radiation, which then feeds the next kingdom evolving in nature—which, after absorbing all it can, then spills the excess out to the next kingdom and so on and so on. In the nurturing of life is seen one vast system of energy transmission and of interdependence within that system.

Even bank robbers appreciate a drive-through window.
Police say a man drove up to a LaSalle bank at 3301 N. Ashland about 8 a.m. Tuesday and slid a note demanding money to the teller through a tube at the window.
The teller complied, shooting back about $56,000, Belmont District police said. The robber sped off in a blue, older-model minivan, they said.
"No weapon was displayed or implied," said Chicago FBI spokeswoman Cynthia Yates. "He never left his vehicle."
It was the first of two bank robberies Tuesday morning that netted a combined total of at least $86,000, police said.

First, solar prana, that vital and magnetic fluid which radiates from the Sun, is transmitted to the planetary etheric body where it is collected by the earth's spleen center. (Although its location is not given out, it is the source of the myths that speak of a land of exceeding fertility, of abundant luxuriance and phenomenal growth of vegetables, animals, even humans. Stories of Scotland's Findhorn community come to mind, where enormous vegetables were grown in an experiment to consciously work with the devas or guides of that kingdom.) After the planet assimilates what is required, the excess is given off as surface radiation, the heat the earth gives off after nightfall. Solar prana is now colored by the planetary quality and is absorbed by all evolutions found within its life.

Humans receive prana from both the Sun and the planet, but never directly from the Sun—its intensity is harmful to matter and must be filtered through an intermediary. Etheric bodies of humans receive solar prana via the agency of certain deva entities of a very high order, and of a golden hue. The prana passes through their bodies and is emitted as powerful radiations, which in turn descend directly into certain centers in the human etheric body correlating to the head and shoulders, and eventually pass into the physical organ of the spleen. After distribution over the entire body through the etheric network, it demonstrates in surface radiation as the health aura. Again, the physical radiations humans give off differ according to the quality of their physical bodies. Planetary prana is safely absorbed through the pores of the skin as the destructive fire of the sun has been diminished by passing through the filter of the earth.
Next in line to receive the gift of life force is the animal kingdom and again, devas intervene, absorbing the excess prana from the human kingdom, before passing it on to the animal world. After the animals assimilate all that they can, their radiation is transmitted through another group of devic lives to the vegetable kingdom, which then overflows to the mineral kingdom. The beauty and perfection of this process is apparent—all things receive in order to give and to pass on to that which is lesser or not so evolved.

Does this process begin and end with the Sun? No—our Sun, like all life forms, receives prana too, though from a source outside the Solar System. Recent scientific discoveries about the directional flow of magnetic field lines in our galactic arm collaborate with ancient metaphysical teachings that name the star system Sirius as the source of prana to our Sun and its worlds.
The close relationship between all the evolutions of nature becomes evident, from the celestial sun to the humblest violet ... all linked together by the deva evolution which acts as the transmitting transmuting force throughout the system. As the intricate interrelation between the sun and the planets, between the planets and the evolving lives upon them, and between the lives themselves in ever descending importance, is more clearly understood, the exquisite interdependence of all existence is revealed.

In taking on density, energy takes on, or descends into, the seven degrees or planes. Man exemplifies three. He has his physical body, his emotional mechanism and his mind-body, and consequently functions on three planes, or is awake on three, the physical, the emotional and the mental. He is on the threshold of the recognition of a fourth and higher factor, the Soul, or Self, and will next awaken to that realization.
In addition to seven planes, each plane has seven subplanes.
Three subplanes of the physical are commonly known, - the solid, liquid and gaseous, for example, ice, water and steam. In addition there are four subtler planes, or rather four different types of ether. These four are coexistent with each of the three well known subplanes, and interpenetrate them.
The physical body of man is no exception. It, too, has its etheric counterpart, its etheric body. This is positive, while the dense physical body is negative. The etheric body is the cohesive factor, and maintains the physical body in life and being.

The etheric counterpart, whether of man or of any physical thing, is of the universal substance, of universal life, and of universal energy. It partakes of all of these. But it is not self-sufficient or independently existing. It draws upon the reservoir of universal energy, and in it the etheric counterpart lives and moves and has its being. Energy is thus functioning through the etheric.
This is true of man also. The universal energy functions through his etheric body. And as man exists on seven planes, so the etheric body has seven points of contact with energy, - but as only three planes are active, and four dormant, so only three force centers are fully developed and four as yet undeveloped.
In harmonizing the two schools, the question naturally arises, does Western Science corroborate this theory?
Sir Isaac Newton accepts the universal medium of ether without question. In the last paragraph of his Principia, he says:
"And now we might add something concerning a certain most subtle spirit which pervades and lies hid in all gross bodies; by the force and action of which spirit the particles of bodies mutually attract one another at near distances, and cohere if contiguous; and electric bodies operate to greater distances, as well repelling as attracting the neighboring corpuscles; and light is emitted, reflected, refracted, inflected, and heats bodies; and all sensation is excited, and the members of animal bodies move at the command of the will, namely by the vibrations of this spirit, mutually propagated along the solid firmaments of the nerves, from the outward organs of sense to the brain, and from the brain into the muscles. But these are things that cannot be explained in few words, nor are we furnished with that sufficiency of experiments which is required to an accurate determination and demonstration of the laws by which this electric and elastic spirit operates."

The same level of experience found in the universe as a whole can be found within the human Soul as well. The same levels of "Being-ness", the same divine Hierarchies found in the "immaterial" etheric, astral and higher planes of the universe as a whole can be found within the human Soul as well. This realization of being a "MIRROR" of the Macrocosm is central to unfold the mystical process. This whole process circles around the magnetic axial pole of pure Being. The principle of macrocosm and microcosm, which represents this mirroring of levels is the foundation of all the spiritual and metaphysical traditions. From the formation of stars, to the collapses of galaxies, from our humble meditation practices, to world affairs... Everything in the universe affects and resonates with everything else. In the same manner, our own spiritual practice and level of consciousness affect and resonate in all the Planes of existence in the universe... This is also a reminder that, however strange the universe may seem to us, we and it share one nature and one life.

The individual human being, then, is understood in mystical terms as a reflection of the whole universe, and the same levels we have traced in the universe as a whole can be traced in the Soul as well. This is another way of repeating what we have previously said, that our own level of consciousness projects outwardly the way we "see" and understand reality.
The universe and the spiritual Hierarchy are mirrored in us through many subtle bodies. We have, the biological or physical body - the etheric body, which is made of ether or life-energy - the astral body, which is the body of concrete consciousness shaped by the psyche (thoughts, feelings) - the mental body, which is the body of abstract consciousness perceived by pure awareness, which opens on realms of experience not bounded by space and time; and the spiritual or causal body named also the Light body, which is the root of consciousness and the innermost essence of the Soul. As with the levels of the macrocosm, each body can be seen as governing the body "below" it — that is, denser or more material than itself; thus, for example, the astral body is shaped and directed by the mental body, and in turn shapes and directs the etheric body.

Each of these parts of the Soul has its own nature and functions, and its own role in the awakening process. The physical body, for its part, is the body known to medical and biological science. It serves as the material foundation and instrument of the other parts of the Soul, enabling the Soul to perceive and act in the realm of material experience. Traditional lore assigns each of its parts to one or another part of spiritual symbolism; thus, for instance, each of the five fingers is assigned to one of the five elements.
The etheric body is usually divided, for clarity, into two parts. The first of these is the etheric double; this closely resembles the ordinary body of matter, extending out perhaps an inch beyond the surface of the skin, and provides the framework of subtle formative energies on which the material body is built. It contains a series of channels (the meridians of Oriental medicine) and energy centers, which have an important role in mystical work.
The second part of the etheric body is called the aura or, in another context, the Sphere of Sensation. This is a roughly egg-shaped field of energies surrounding the etheric double, extending out several feet from the physical body. It serves as the interface between the etheric body of the individual and that of the cosmos, and all the forces of the universe are reflected on its surface.

The astral body cannot be so easily mapped out in this kind of spatial language. A body of consciousness, it comes closer to the modem idea of "mind" than to that of "body," although neither of these too-rigid categories fits well anywhere in the mystical view of the Soul. The astral body can be thought of as a field of energy occupying roughly the same space as the aura, but constantly shaped and reshaped by patterns of thought and feeling. All images, words, and sensations affect this body, and are affected by it in turn; it interacts freely with the astral level of the cosmos, and with the astral bodies of other human and non-human beings. It contains most of those parts of the self we normally think of as "mental" or "inner"— intellect, emotion, imagination, will, and memory, the instruments of concrete consciousness — and it is also the basis for the individual personality.

The mental body can be thought of as the essential pattern of the Soul. It can be described as a subtle "body" only in a highly metaphorical sense, and cannot be located in a spatial sense at all. This body is the instrument of abstract consciousness — that is, thought that does not involve forms and images of the sort we perceive with our senses — and thus makes it possible to perceive the core ideas or structures of experience, which exist outside of space and time.
The Spiritual body, or Causal body finally, is the root of the Soul, the essence or "divine spark" around which all the other layers of the Soul are built up; it represents the point of contact between the human microcosm and that unity of Being that, in theological terms, we may as well call the unknown God. It can best be imagined as pure Being, without any other definition or quality.
In practicing mysticism, each of these levels of the Soul comes into play in one way or another in one's life, and specific aspects of these levels provide the principal tools by which the powers of the macrocosm are directed through the Soul (Permanent Witness) and resonate in the subtle bodies of man. A seeker's "role" is to become a pure vehicle, open to receive these high impulses and magnetically resonate with them. These impulses manifest in the bodies certain spiritual qualities, which are inner states of realization. In order to make sense of this very abstract material, it is necessary to get a clearer sense of the mystical and magical understanding of what is meant by the hidden potential qualities of the Soul. These qualities are inner states of consciousness that the Soul unveils gradually to the consciousness of a seeker. These inner states appear during dreaming, meditation, or at any appropriate moment in a seeker's life. They make a "rupture" in time - opening a gap to allow a higher level of resonance to impregnate the astral and etheric bodies of the seeker. Each one of these Soul potential qualities vibrates and resonates in all the various subtle bodies of man. The result of this resonance within all the subtle bodies reveals something too complex and beautiful to explain... One has to experience them to understand what ha
Posted by: Anonymous Coward at July 14, 2005 1:27 AM
what happens...It is linked to the intangible Presence of "I"...
As we consider the different bodies and levels of the Soul and understand that their awakening process depends on our need to purify the psyche (etheric and astral bodies) then, the spiritual purification and transformation process unfold and we increasingly come closer to manifest whatever is engrained and inherent in our spiritual “blueprint” – the karmic plan which the Soul (Permanent Witness) has prepared for a given incarnation. The quest of how to unfold the inner process is given to you on this website - It is explained through my personal experiences... My only wish is to help you find your own way... as each seeker is a path to himself...The only most important thing to understand is that we all resonate to different rates of vibrations... What we must learn to do is to resonate with the pure part of our psyche - the part that is open to the impulses coming from the Soul, so that the resonance of the Higher impulses are felt and manifested in the lower astral, etheric and physical bodies as well. These divine operations are karmic "gifts" that are given to awake our subtle bodies and receive sublime initiations.

The physical body displays emotions that the mind has hidden.
The physical body door represents our first and second dimensional self, which is our physical "animal" body, and all the cells, minerals, genetic programming that make up that body. The first and second dimensions are of a lower vibration than our third dimensional form and are therefore usually a part of our unconscious reality.

The memory is still vivid in my Consciousness. The first knowingness of my Soul. I was standing at the edge of a mountain overlooking a beautiful valley. It was New Year's Eve Day thirteen years ago. I was reviewing energies of the old year, preparing for the year to come.
Then….a feeling of deep joy overcame me. It was a feeling of expansiveness rushing through me. Oh, the grandeur of this feeling! It was a feeling of being greater than my little self. It was a feeling of connection with the universe. I was able to hold onto it for only a moment. But, having experienced it once, I knew I wanted to feel it again…to hold onto it forever. Such began my Awakening to the awareness of Love's presence within me, the awareness of my Soul.

You form the fabric of your experience through your own beliefs and expectations. These personal ideas about yourself and the nature of reality will affect your thoughts and emotions. You take your beliefs about reality as truth, and often do not question them. They seem self-explanatory. They appear in your minds as statements of fact, far too obvious for examination.
Therefore they are accepted without question too often. They are not recognized as beliefs ABOUT reality, but instead considered characteristics of reality itself. Frequently such ideas appear indisputable, so a part of you that it does not occur to you to speculate about their validity. They become invisible assumptions, but they nevertheless color and form your personal experience.

The outer experience is simply a reflection of the inner. The creative process unfolds continually, infinitely, constantly. You cannot miss it. It's going to happen whether you pay attention or not. So the question becomes: how do you create the inner experience with the most harmony and ingredients of joy or the ingredients you seek in the outer? The answer is, you train your attention away from the outer long enough to perceive how the inner process works. Once you have perceived how the inner process works, that is, you have lined up the details of the inner mechanisms: thoughts, beliefs, feelings, emotions, tendencies, influences, choices, then you are free to go back and watch the outer reflect the new understanding.
It is not that you live in life focused only on the inner, you could do that without a life, or a physical manifestation of life. The objective here is to live in life in the outer, from the inner. Which, if you understand, you do every time you open your eyes. All the sense perceptions you receive are your creation.

For example, this table we see is real. Just as you and I are real. And if you attempt to raise your leg through the table, you will encounter its reality. And this is a place of confusion for many of you. But remember, we are not asking you to deny what is, just to recognize its source. This table is here with you precisely because you chose it to be. And the further you go on this path of understanding, the more flexible and fluid physical matter will become. But this is not a change in physical matter. But a change in your ability to perceive and focus.

The most difficult challenges come when you confront those areas which you still regard as real and outside of yourself. And this is why the particular challenge of creating money via conscious creation is such a worthy one because it is the thing within the culture that is seen as most real and most outside the self. And in another way it is the most within your control because it is an idea. You see this when you look at it from a global perspective more clearly because the idea of money changes from culture to culture. The actual physical representation looks different and is different, and yet its cardinal truth remains the same. You could say it is the physical representation of supply. But do not place too much emphasis on the meaning or implication of what it represents. It would be far better to reduce the contrast between money and all other physical objects, including your body, the earth, sky, and understand it as just another form of the camouflage. In this way you regain your power returning the displaced power you put on the idea of money and putting it back on the self where it belongs.

Say to someone, "Tell me about yourself," and what you are most likely to get is a description of their body, their job, perhaps their hobbies, likes and dislikes. But is this who we really are? All of these descriptions are about something outside, something other than the true Self. We have become so distracted by the world and its many facets that we forget, or rather choose not to look at who we really are.
The best way to begin this is by defining what we are not!! We are not a body. We are not a job. We are not an illness. We are not a socio-economic status. We are not a parent or child. We are not a skin color. We are not an ethnicity. We are not a religion. We are not even our beliefs. All of these things describe something outside the Self.
But if none of these things truly describe us, how do we find who we are?

We regularly hear from people asking for insight into what is happening, what is really going on. The things that used to work aren’t working anymore and they feel lost. Am I going crazy? What do I do now? Don’t worry you aren’t crazy, and the universe hasn’t abandoned you. You are just making a shift to a new level of the Game. At this new level you need a new understanding and new eyes to see the game. A new rule book, so to speak. I will first explain this change in the way of a metaphor called, “The Video Game of Life” then I will give you more details to understand what is happening, where you are, and how to function on this new Tier of the game. When you fully move to the next level of the game, you will once again experience synchronicity, prosperity, and inner peace in your life.

Young Republicans suffer setback
Nevada chapter chairman holding the tab; allegations swirl
Nevada's chapter of the Young Republicans has basically imploded, leaving its chairman with up to $25,000 in personal debt and allegations that he mishandled money.
All but three people have resigned from the statewide group, but the fallout could prove increasingly embarrassing to the entire state Republican Party.
Today, the chairman of the group, Reno resident Nathan Taylor, plans to hold a press conference attacking three of the state's party leaders -- Sen. John Ensign, Rep. Jim Gibbons and Rep. Jon Porter.
Taylor argues that the state's Republican delegation should have helped him fund the national Young Republican convention held last week at Mandalay Bay.
"I've got bills at the hotel I can't pay," said Taylor, a 29-year-old political science senior at UNR who said he had to quit his food service job and drop classes to plan the convention.
Taylor estimates that the convention, attended by about 600 people from around the nation, is at least $10,000 -- and up to $25,000 -- in the red.
As the chairman, he said he'll personally have to cough up the cash.
"It's a really sad day when my congressmen and my senator, who are sitting on millions, can't cut me a check for $25,000," Taylor said. "I don't think I'm asking for much."

Imagine life as a spiritual video game. You begin on level one. On level one there are good guys and bad guys. You shout and yell at the bad guys and they go away. You say things like, “God is in control of my life and evil must leave.” On this level everything is very black and white, good and evil, right and wrong. You see the duality and it is ‘real’ to you. You are a victim of your circumstances, the victim of chaos. Level one’s motto is: “I am nothing and God is everything.” Here you fear God, as a matter of fact, you fear many things on this level. Many religious people live on this level and it appears to work for them. On this level, you believe and accept all that you have been taught. Then, you Awaken!
One day, you are reminded of who you are and you move to level two. On level two the pendulum must swing the other way. Many of you reject religion all together. Level two’s motto is: “I am everything. I am God!” Things still look black and white, good and evil, right and wrong, yet there is a little more gray. On this level, you question things you were taught. Now you say, “I am in control of my life and evil must leave.” You believe that you create it all, you are no longer a victim. You are in charge of your life and make order out of the chaos. You begin to ‘Intend’ everything from money to love to a front row parking place, and it works! You begin learning that your thoughts are things. You realize your power. You study everything you can get your hands on. This is an amazing time in your awakening process. Then, you Awaken!

Then you move to level three of the video game. On level three everything you did on levels one and two doesn’t work anymore. The rules are very different here. Your affirmations and intentions don’t work anymore. This is a confusing place to be. You feel lost. You no longer see things as black and white. The whole world begins to look gray. Your judgments about yourself and others are disappearing more and more. You are realizing that it is not just about you anymore. The motto on this level is: “I am the Co-Creator of my universe.” You understand that there is a bigger picture than you ever thought. You begin to see that the only way to move through this level is with your Heart. You cannot think yourself through this level, you must Love your way through. You are beginning to practice being in the Now moment. You see past the chaos. The chaos is becoming smaller and less important. Then, you Awaken!
On level four you are in the Now moment and the doorway to full divinity opens up. You are no longer searching or doing. You are just BEING. You are in the World but not of the World. You see life for the illusion that it is. You see the divine comedy. You are a true Master. You understand that all is a paradox. BEING is everything and you are BEING. You are truly fully human and fully divine. The divine human walking on the Earth. You know that, “I am God, and I am nothing without God.” It is like you are in a bubble of love and peace no matter what is happening outside of you. You see the connection of all things. You remember that you are still at HOME. You see that everything on earth is the mirror reflection of truth. You recognize all of the hints that you left for yourselves, by yourselves, to assist you in waking up. Remember the saying, “As above so below,” it’s true in more ways than you ever realized. You now have Heaven on Earth, within yourself. Chaos is still happening around you and you now are at peace. True inner joy and inner peace.

1. Body aches and pains, especially in the neck, shoulder and back. This is the result of intense changes at your Spiritual DNA level as the "Divine seed" awakens within. This too shall pass.
2. Feeling of deep inner sadness for no apparent reason. You are releasing your past (this lifetime and others) and this causes the feeling of sadness. This is similar to the experience of moving from a house where you lived in for many, many years into a new house. As much as you want to move into the new house, there is a sadness of leaving behind the memories, energy and experiences of the old house. This too shall pass.
3. Crying for no apparent reason. Similar to #2 above. It’s good and healthy to let the tears flow. It helps to release the old energy within. This too shall pass.
4. Sudden change in job or career. A very common symptom. As you change, things around you will change as well. Don’t worry about finding the "perfect" job or career right now. This too shall pass. You’re in transition and you may make several job changes before you settle into one that fits your passion.
Posted by: Anonymous Coward at July 14, 2005 2:04 AM
6. Unusual sleep patterns. It’s likely that you’ll awaken many nights between 2:00 – 4:00 AM. There’s a lot of work going on within you, and it often causes you to wake up for a "breather." Not to worry. If you can’t go back to sleep, get up and do something rather than lay in bed and worry about humanly things. This too shall pass.
7. Intense dreams. These might include war and battle dreams, chase dreams or monster dreams. You are literally releasing the old energy within, and these energies of the past are often symbolized as wars, running to escape and boogiemen. This too shall pass.
8. Physical disorientation. At times you’ll feel very ungrounded. You’ll be "spatially challenged" with the feeling like you can’t put two feet on the ground, or that you’re walking between two worlds. As your consciousness transitions into the new energy, you body sometimes lags behind. Spend more time in nature to help ground the new energy within. This too shall pass.

WASHINGTON - The last two weeks certainly have been eventful ones in America and across the globe: President Bush gave a prime-time speech on Iraq and attended a G-8 summit in Scotland; Sandra Day O’Connor announced her retirement from the Supreme Court (with perhaps another retirement on the way); and suicide bombers killed approximately 50 people in London. After these events, the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll finds that Bush’s overall job rating has slipped and that his rating for being “honest and straightforward” has dropped to its lowest point.
Regarding Bush’s upcoming pick to replace O’Connor on the court, moreover, the poll shows that strong majorities believe Bush would be taking a step in the right direction if he appointed a woman and someone who supports references to God in public life. But a majority also thinks that Bush would take a wrong step if he chose someone who would vote to overturn the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion.
The survey, which was conducted from July 8-11 among 1,009 adults, and which has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points, finds that respondents, by a 49 percent-to-46 percent margin, disapprove of Bush’s job performance. That’s a drop from the last NBC/Journal poll in May, when 47 percent approved and 47 percent disapproved. In addition, the only time when Bush’s job rating has been worse was in June 2004, when 45 percent approved of his performance.

9. Increased "self talk." You’ll find yourself talking to your Self more often. You’ll suddenly realize you’ve been chattering away with yourself for the past 30 minutes. There is a new level of communication taking place within your being, and you’re experiencing the tip of the iceberg with the self talk. The conversations will increase, and they will become more fluid, more coherent and more insightful. You’re not going crazy, you’re just Shaumbra (Lightworkers) moving into the new energy.
10. Feelings of loneliness, even when in the company of others. You may feel alone and removed from others. You may feel the desire to "flee" groups and crowds. As Shaumbra (Lightworkers), you are walking a sacred and lonely path. As much as the feelings of loneliness cause you anxiety, it is difficult to relate to others at this time. The feelings of loneliness are also associated with the fact that your Guides have departed. They have been with you on all of your journeys in all of your lifetimes. It was time for them to back away so you could fill your space with your own divinity. This too shall pass. The void within will be filled with the love and energy of your own True Divinity.
11. Loss of passion. You may feel totally disimpassioned, with little or no desire to do anything. That’s OK, and it’s just part of the process. Take this time to "do no-thing." Don’t fight yourself on this, because this too shall pass. It’s similar to rebooting a computer. You need to shut down for a brief period of time in order to load the sophisticated new software, or in this case, the Divine-Self energy.

12. A deep longing to go Home. This is perhaps the most difficult and challenging of any of the conditions. You may experience a deep and overwhelming desire to leave the planet and return to Home. This is not a "suicidal" feeling. It is not based in anger or frustration. You don’t want to make a big deal of it or cause drama for yourself or other. There is a quiet part of you that wants to go Home. The root cause for this is quite simple. You have completed your karmic cycles. You have completed your contract for this lifetime. You are ready to begin a new lifetime while still in this physical body. During this transition process, you have an inner remembrances of what it is like to be on the other side. Are you ready to enlist for another tour of duty here on Earth? Are you ready to take on the challenges of moving into the New Energy? Yes, indeed you could go Home right now. But you’ve come this far, and after many, many lifetimes it would be a shame to leave before the end of the movie. Besides, Spirit needs you here to help others transition into this new energy. They will need a human guide, just like you, who has taken the journey from the old energy into the new. The path you’re walking right now provides the experiences to enable you to become a Teacher of the New Divine Human. As lonely and dark as your journey can be at times, remember that you are never alone.

5. Withdrawal from family relationships. You are connected to your biological family via old karma. When you get off the karmic cycle, the bonds of the old relationships are released. It will appear as though you are drifting away from your family and friends. This too shall pass. After a period of time, you may develop a new relationship with them if it is appropriate. However, the relationship will be based in a new energy without the karmic attachments.

Our five senses are very limited. We see only 1% of what is really going on, and that 1% is illusion. What we know with our five senses looks so confusing and chaotic. Why do bad things happen? Why me? Why, Why, Why??? All that is visible appears to not make any sense. We see hate, war, judgment, resentment, sickness, destruction, addiction and darkness. How can a loving God create all this tragedy?

Now it is time to punish the wicked. Let the proud be made low, and know the wrath of the Lord their God. The wealthy shall know want and privation; the powerful shall be made slaves. Those who have mocked and blasphemed through their lies will be destroyed, even as they have destroyed others. This is the will of a just and wise God, who takes no joy in punishing his errant children, but must discipline, for the sake of all his children.

Everyone soul travels while sleeping. Many people recall these events as lucid dreams or “flying dreams.” These dreams will feel very real to the individual. Unfortunately, few people can remember their soul travel dreams. But there are methods available to recall soul travel during sleep. These same methods or techniques can be used to soul travel while in a waking-but-altered state of consciousness, or in a near- or light-sleeping state.

Diet
Diet can influence soul travel in many situations. This is especially true regarding soul travel in altered waking states. Once again, the Law of Magnetism comes into play. Most foods have either a positive essence or a negative essence. The consumption of positively or negatively charged foods can affect the body’s polarity.
Vegetables and many fruits tend to have a more positive essence. These foods should be considered as having a lighter or higher vibration. They are sometimes referred to as “spirit foods” due to the high frequency and the more positive essence they contain. Eating these foods will aid in attempted soul travel.
Breathing
The breath of life is important for soul travel training. When you draw in breath, you bring Chi (or universal energy) into your lungs. This energy has an extremely high vibratory rate and can be found in the air we breathe and the water we drink. It originates from the Heavens above. If you hold this breath in your lungs for a few seconds, this energy will flow via the circulatory system to the entire body charging all the organs with this powerful Chi. This raises your vibrations and allows the body to become lighter, and to carry a more positive essence.
Deep breathing exercises can be taken one step further when attempting soul travel. Try taking in deep breaths and holding the air in your lungs for a period longer than five seconds. The longer the breath is held, the more positively charged the body becomes. Also, the vibrations of the body become much higher. Be careful and reasonable, though, and don’t hold your breath for longer than is comfortable.
Water
Anyone considering soul travel should drink a large amount of water during the day. This has a tendency to flush the body and remove unwanted wastes and poisons (which carry a very low vibratory rate). The release of these undesired substances helps the physical form to maintain healthy energy within.
Additionally, there is an exercise called the “Glass of Water Technique” that teaches you how to magnetize or “charge” water in a glass, thereby giving it a higher vibration of energy. (See below for full instructions on this technique.) This has great

You know the way everybody is into weirdness right now? Books in all the supermarkets about the Bermuda Triangle, UFO's, how the Mayans invented television, that kind of thing. Well the way I see it it's exactly the same. There aint no difference between a flying saucer or a time machine.
People get so hung up on specifics, they miss out on seeing the whole thing. Take South America for example. Every year in South America thousands of people turn up missing. Nobody knows where they go. They just disappear. But if you think for a minute, realize something, there had to be a time when there was no people right? Well where did all these people come from? I'll tell you where, the future. Where did all these people disappear to, the past. How did they get there? Flying saucers, which are really, yeah you got it, time machines.
I Think a lot about this kind of stuff. I do my best thinking on the bus. That's how come I don't drive. See I don't want to know how. I don't want to learn. The more you drive, the less intelligent you are.

Yup.
Saw your question about the sage smell. Its funny how we associate nature's smells with different things. Around here, that sage smell is real strong in the early Autumn... during hunting season. All the hunters around here key on it. They'll smell it as they go out to their trucks in the morning and the next thing you know, nothing is getting done because everyone is thinking and planning on hunting.
Then, every October, productivity falls off all the way... for two cow elk and a gut shot deer.
When I smell the sage this next year it will mean I need to wear orange when I go for my hikes... put some orange on the doggers too!
I gotta figure the deer and elk and antelope key on that smell too. They look at each other and go..

Man Tries to Rob Same Calif. Bank 5 Times
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -- Stephen Holloday has a familiar face - at least to tellers at one downtown Oakland bank. Police say he robbed the same bank four times between March 9 and May 23, but on his fifth attempt this month, a teller recognized him and alerted another co-worker who had been robbed previously by Holloday.
The two confronted the man, who panicked and fled, Oakland police Sgt. George Phillips. He was arrested a short time later on a street not far from the Summit Bank, the evidence - a demand note - still in his pocket

BERLIN (Reuters) - A Berlin grandmother who has worked the city's diplomatic quarter as a prostitute for the last 49 years plans to retire when she turns 64 next year, according to Germany's Bild newspaper.
ADVERTISEMENT
Even though prostitutes were forced to leave the area after the Berlin Wall, fell because dead-end streets in the downtrodden district were re-connected to east Berlin and property values surged, Renate Dolle was allowed to stay, Bild said.
"I've got a lot of regular clients," the blonde woman told the newspaper, pictured wearing a short red mini skirt and high-heeled white boots as she stood near the Japanese embassy. She said she charges 30 euros ($36) and on good nights she has four to five clients.

People Problems
While exorbitantly expensive manned space programs languish, robot probes have had one spectacular success after another. So why are robotic missions getting axed?
From this recent history it would be reasonable to think that the powers that be are shifting their emphasis away from exorbitantly costly human-spaceflight programs to cheaper and ultimately more enlightening robotic ones. Exactly the opposite is happening. In January 2004, President George W. Bush responded to NASA's woes by setting the United States on an ambitious course to send humans back to the moon and on to Mars.
---
Bush and other manned program glory seekers will continue to inhibit the unmanned program. Why? Because if they don't, by the time we put humans on Mars, there will be nothing left for them to explore... rovers and gliders and probes would have long since answered all the important questions about that planet. So... the make-a-wish-foundation for Air Force pilots continues and funds for real space science continue to be cut.

'False perception'
"Psychiatrists believe that these auditory hallucinations are caused when the brain spontaneously activates, creating a false perception of a voice," says Professor Hunter of the university's psychiatry department.
"The reason these voices are usually male could be explained by the fact that the female voice is so much more complex that the brain would find it much harder to create a false female voice accurately than a false male voice," he says.
Such imaginary voices are typically likely to be middle-aged and carry "derogatory" messages.

Bush honesty rating drops to lowest point.
NBC/WSJ poll: Iraq replaces jobs as most important American priority (and staying in Iraq isn't a part of that priority)
Furthermore, only 41 percent give Bush good marks for being “honest and straightforward” — his lowest ranking on this question since he became president. That’s a drop of nine percentage points since January, when a majority (50 percent to 36 percent) indicated that he was honest and straightforward. This finding comes at a time when the Bush administration is battling the perception that its rhetoric doesn’t match the realities in Iraq, and also allegations that chief political adviser Karl Rove leaked sensitive information about a CIA agent to a reporter. (The survey, however, was taken just before these allegations about Rove exploded into the current controversy.)

oh and for the spammer a few general rules...
You can tell it's a cult when...
they ask you to reject contact with family and friends...
They tell you that hallucinations are normal but will pass in time...
When they feed the ego directly...You are god...you are the power...you are the offspring of the alien race blah blah blah...
When they seek to break down your individuality by setting impossible goals for you to reach...like the control of matter with you mind...aka walking through walls...
This is just a gag to get you to further suspend reality and "try harder"
When all of the above is cloaked in a thin layer of basic spiritual language...
When the language is completely incomprhensible due to linguistic paradox and contradiction...
This is a tool used to send the brain into a self generating loop until it eventually shuts down and merely accepts whatever folderal is being presented...
and that's the basics...your quest for truth need not have a bad ending if you're discerning it what you feed your mind.

something to look forward to, and I did today, it was sunny enough to see one or two crawl on that log or at least swim arround it.
but today the log was gone!
I saw no turtles, they were covert.
They said 9-11 changed everything.

Coffin makers are unable to keep up with the demand for caskets in Iraq where tens of people die every day due to the continual armed attacks and bombings.
While casket prices increased due to the ever increasing demand, it is impossible to find caskets for the bodies of the poor and homeless. The price of a coffin varies from between $35 and $50 in Bagdat (Baghdad), in a city where one person dies every hour. Caskets have become a major necessity of the country due to the increasing number of deaths.

The label of Catholic terror was never used about the IRA
Fundamentalism is often a form of nationalism in religious disguise
We cannot hope to convert Osama bin Laden from his vicious ideology; our priority must be to stem the flow of young people into organisations such as al-Qaida, instead of alienating them by routinely coupling their religion with immoral violence. Incorrect statements about Islam have convinced too many in the Muslim world that the west is an implacable enemy.

We need a phrase that is more exact than "Islamic terror". These acts may be committed by people who call themselves Muslims, but they violate essential Islamic principles. The Qur'an prohibits aggressive warfare, permits war only in self-defence and insists that the true Islamic values are peace, reconciliation and forgiveness. It also states firmly that there must be no coercion in religious matters, and for centuries Islam had a much better record of religious tolerance than Christianity.
Posted by: Nobody at July 14, 2005 4:41 AM
Like the Bible, the Qur'an has its share of aggressive texts, but like all the great religions, its main thrust is towards kindliness and compassion. Islamic law outlaws war against any country in which Muslims are allowed to practice their religion freely, and forbids the use of fire, the destruction of buildings and the killing of innocent civilians in a military campaign. So although Muslims, like Christians or Jews, have all too often failed to live up to their ideals, it is not because of the religion per se.

Precise intelligence is essential in any conflict. It is important to know who our enemies are, but equally crucial to know who they are not. It is even more vital to avoid turning potential friends into foes. By making the disciplined effort to name our enemies correctly, we will learn more about them, and come one step nearer, perhaps, to solving the seemingly intractable and increasingly perilous problems of our divided world.

Oh... I agree on that fully. Prisons are a business supported by ridiculous drug laws.
Now... am I happy murderers are in prison? Yep. But the majority of prisoners are in there on drug related charges. Even a lot of the charges involving violence involve situations that would never have occured without the huge amounts of money associated with illegal drugs.
Prisons is the slave business. An industry supported by archaic and unbalanced controlled substance laws.

Knight Ridder's Baghdad Chief Replies to Criticism From Back Home
Early this week, Mark Yost, an editorial writer at Knight Ridder's St. Paul Pioneer Press, wrote a column that sharply criticized Iraq war coverage as "bad" for focusing on the negative. Today, another Knight Ridder writer who may actually know what's going on in Iraq, penned a reply.

I totally agree (About the Feng Shui?) About everything!!!
It feels like they pick a number of the amount of people they would like to be in jail and make up laws accordingly. It's just mostly minorities and I know for a fact that the actual number of whites using illegal drugs is greater than the number of minorities. A greater percentage of the minorities are users but the chance of the George Bushes or Bill Clintons for that matter who smoke weed or snort coke to ever see the inside of a jail cell is nil.

Subject: AMERICA SUPPORTS YOU KARL!
Dear Karl Rove:
I just wanted to tell you that no matter how much indisputable evidence those fact-obsessed intellectual reporters release about you betraying America, I join the President in not caring diddly-squat about so-called national security when the only war that matters is the one we're waging against Democrats. So that makes you TOPS in my book! Anyway, however it happened, that bimbo Valerie Plame got what she deserved for marrying a moron who spouted crazy talk about Saddam bin Laden not having all those Nukepox Laser Deathrays you made President Bush promise we'd find. Heck, she should be happy that you only assassinated his CHARACTER!
Well, I would say don't let this 'Plame Game' get you down, but I'm sure you're already orchestrating your greatest-yet Machiavellian stratagem (replete with Clintonian legalistic parsings) to slither out of doing any prison time - especially since you were polite enough not to use Mrs. Wilson's first name. So good luck with the indictments and likely cover-up conspiracy investigation, and next time you're whispering him sweet nothings, please tell Bob Novak I think his waxy tufts of silver ear hair are massively SEXY - in a totally non-homosexual way, of course!
Sincerely,

White House Press Briefing Video
Q Scott, you know what, to make a general observation here, in a previous administration, if a press secretary had given the sort of answers you've just given in referring to the fact that everybody who works here enjoys the confidence of the President, Republicans would have hammered them as having a kind of legalistic and sleazy defense. I mean, the reality is that you're parsing words, and you've been doing it for a few days now. So does the President think Karl Rove did something wrong, or doesn't he?
MR. McCLELLAN: No, David, I'm not at all. I told you and the President told you earlier today that we don't want to prejudge the outcome of an ongoing investigation. And I think we've been round and round on this for two days now.
Q Even if it wasn't a crime? You know, there are those who believe that even if Karl Rove was trying to debunk bogus information, as Ken Mehlman suggested yesterday -- perhaps speaking on behalf of the White House -- that when you're dealing with a covert operative, that a senior official of the government should be darn well sure that that person is not undercover, is not covert, before speaking about them in any way, shape, or form. Does the President agree with that or not?
MR. McCLELLAN: Again, we've been round and round on this for a couple of days now. I don't have anything to add to what I've said the previous two days.
Q That's a different question, and it's not round and round --
MR. McCLELLAN: You heard from the President earlier.
Q It has nothing to do with the investigation, Scott, and you know it.
MR. McCLELLAN: You heard from the President earlier today, and the President said he's not --

Q That's a dodge to my question. It has nothing to do with the investigation. Is it appropriate for a senior official to speak about a covert agent in any way, shape, or form without first finding out whether that person is working as a covert officer.
MR. McCLELLAN: Well, first of all, you're wrong. This is all relating to questions about an ongoing investigation, and I've been through this.
Q If I wanted to ask you about an ongoing investigation, I would ask you about the statute, and I'm not doing that.
MR. McCLELLAN: I think we've exhausted discussion on this the last couple of days.
Q You haven't even scratched the surface.
Q It hasn't started.
MR. McCLELLAN: I look forward to talking about it once the investigation is complete, as the President does, as well. And you heard from the President earlier today.
Q Can I ask for clarification on what the President said at Sea Island on June 10th of last year, when he was saying that he would fire anybody from the White House who was involved in the leak of classified information? What were the parameters for those consequences? Was it --
MR. McCLELLAN: I appreciate your question.
Q Was it a knowing leak with the intent of doing damage? I'm just wondering when he talked about that, what those parameters were?
MR. McCLELLAN: Again, I've nothing to add on this discussion, and if we have any other topics you want to discuss, I'll be glad to do that.
Go ahead, David.
Q Scott, when the President asked that question at Sea -- was asked that question at Sea Island, and, in fact, when you made your statement that Karl had had nothing to do with this, was there an ongoing investigation at that time?
MR. McCLELLAN: Again, we've been through this for two days now, and I've already responded to those questions.
Go ahead, April.
Q I'm going to give you another --
Q I'm sorry, I wasn't here yesterday, so could you refresh my memory? Was there an ongoing investigation --

MR. McCLELLAN: The briefings are available online.
Q -- at the time that you answered previous questions on this issue?
MR. McCLELLAN: Again, I responded to those questions the past couple of days. Go ahead.
Q The answer is, yes.
Q I'm going to go to another question, somewhat on the same subject, but a different vein. Let's talk about the Wilson family. Is there any regret from this White House about the effects of this leak on this family?
MR. McCLELLAN: We can continue to go round and round on all these --
Q No, no, no, no. This has nothing to do with the investigation. This is about the leak and the effects on this family. I mean, granted there are partisan politics being played, but let's talk about the leak that came from the White House that affected a family.
MR. McCLELLAN: And let me just say again that anything relating to an ongoing investigation, I'm not going to get into discussing. I've said that the past couple of days.
Q This is not -- this is about -- this is a personal -- this is not about the -- I mean about the investigation. This is about the personal business of this family, an American family, a taxpaying family, a family that works for the government of the United States. And the executive branch -- someone in the executive branch let this family down in some kind of way, shape, or form. Is there any regret from the White House that this family was affected by the leak?
MR. McCLELLAN: It doesn't change what I just said.
Go ahead, Goyal.

GOP Nervously Eyeing Rove and CIA Probe
By RON FOURNIER, AP Political Writer
Thu Jul 14, 3:13 AM ET
WASHINGTON - Republicans are nervously watching the fight over Karl Rove's involvement in a news leak that exposed a CIA officer's identity, fearing that President Bush's chief adviser has become a major political problem.
chance Wednesday to express confidence in his deputy chief of staff, his political team engineered a series of testimonials from members of Congress who praised Rove and condemned Democratic critics.
"The extreme left is once again attempting to define the modern Democratic Party by rabid partisan attacks, character assassination and endless negativity," said Rep. Tom Reynolds, R-N.Y., chairman of the GOP congressional committee. The Republican National Committee, virtually a political arm of the White House, urged GOP lawmakers to go public.
Still, several top GOP officials — including some White House advisers — said the fight was becoming a distraction to Bush's agenda. The GOP officials, speaking on condition of anonymity to avoid looking disloyal, said the president may face a credibility problem because his spokesman said in September that anybody involved in the leak would be fired.
These Republicans, all admirers of Rove, said they were surprised and disappointed when Bush stopped short of publicly backing his longtime aide.

Unocal Bid Denounced at Hearing
By STEVE LOHR
WASHINGTON, July 13 - A former director of central intelligence testified Wednesday that a Chinese company's bid for Unocal should be seen as part of that government's strategy for energy security in competition with the United States and that the American government should consider preventing such a deal.
"This is a national security issue," R. James Woolsey, director of the C.I.A. in the Clinton administration, said in a hearing of the House Armed Services Committee. "China is pursuing a national strategy of domination of the energy markets and strategic dominance of the western Pacific."
Testimony before the committee came as Unocal's directors were preparing to meet on Thursday in El Segundo, Calif., to review the $18.5 billion bid from the China National Offshore Oil Company, or Cnooc, executives involved in the negotiations said.
Unocal's board will look at several new provisions that Cnooc has offered as it seeks to persuade directors to accept its bid. Cnooc is racing an Aug. 10 deadline, when Unocal shareholders get to vote on a $16.8 billion offer made by Chevron in April.
Cnooc, which has been in talks with Unocal's management since June 22, has added several concessions and safeguards to its offer, seeking to ease worries that the deal could be stalled or blocked by the United States government. These include a commitment to divest certain assets if needed to secure government approval, an escrow account of $2.5 billion to protect Unocal if Cnooc were to break any part of its deal and a separate $500 million break-up fee.
Cnooc may still hold another card. The company's board has authorized its management to increase the bid if necessary, the executives said.
Still, Cnooc may face more than just financial obstacles. In Washington Wednesday, Representative Duncan Hunter, chairman of the armed services committee, said he might introduce legislation to block Cnooc from buying Unocal, even if a deal were approved by shareholders and by the government committee that reviews corporate takeovers by foreign enterprises.

Attention Air America Radio Listener,
Tell Bush to fire Karl Rove!
Help our hosts show the great outrage among Air America listeners by signing right now.
Air America Radio needs your help to get a traitor out of the White House. For two years, we've known that someone in the White House undermined America by maliciously leaking the identity of CIA covert operative Valerie Plame to punish her husband for criticizing the Bush Administration. And now what many suspected has finally been revealed: the leaker is President Bush's closest advisor, the man they call "Bush's Brain" – none other than Karl Rove.
A growing chorus of voices is calling on President Bush to fire Karl Rove – including Air America Radio hosts and listeners. The White House will try to say that Americans don't care about this. They'll try to pass it off as an "inside the Beltway" issue.
That's why today we're asking you to help our hosts by adding your name to our Air America Radio petition calling for Bush to fire Karl Rove. Please help us show that Air America Radio listeners are outraged about treason in the White House by signing right now:
http://www.airamericaradio.com/petition/
George Bush has never been in such a "bad spot," as one reporter put it at Monday's White House press briefing. When this scandal first came up in 2003, the Bush White House said unambiguously: "If anyone in this Administration was involved in it, they would no longer be in this Administration.” (Scott McClellan, 9/29/03, White House press briefing)
The President must now make good on his word. By signing our petition, you'll be helping Air America Radio do its job as the country's leading progressive media outlet to bring pressure to bear on the Bush White House that won’t let up until Karl Rove has had his security clearance revoked and is barred from the White House.

Judge Refuses to Drop Case against DeLay Ally
By R. Jeffrey Smith
The Washington Post
Wednesday 13 July 2005
A Texas state judge yesterday reaffirmed the indictment of a political associate of House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Tex.), turning aside his claim that a state law barring the use of corporate funds in the 2002 Texas election was unconstitutionally vague.
The ruling was the latest of several in Texas courts to run against former officials of Texans for a Republican Majority, which was created by DeLay and his political aides to orchestrate a 2002 takeover of the Texas House. That victory in turn led to a redistricting of Texas congressional seats and helped cement GOP control of the U.S. House of Representatives.
The legal dispute has its roots in Texas's long-standing prohibition on the use of corporate money in state elections and the group's collection of more than a half million dollars of such funds, which it poured into the races of 17 Republicans elected to the state House.
In September 2004, a grand jury indicted John Colyandro, who directed the Texas group, on charges of illegally collecting the money. Colyandro, a veteran of White House political adviser Karl Rove's direct-mail firm, had sought to have the indictment dismissed on grounds that the law was poorly drafted and infringed on protected rights.
District Judge Robert Perkins, ruling in Austin, denied the motion, clearing an obstacle to Colyandro's eventual trial after appeals are heard. In remarks from the bench, he indicated he plans to dismiss next month a similar motion by Jim Ellis, the Texas group's chief fundraiser, who was indicted for money-laundering in the case.

* Contrary to Wilson's claims, his presence on the mission was not authorized by CIA Director George Tenet or Vice President Cheney.
* Despite his insistence that Plame "had nothing to do with the trip," the Senate committee concluded that she had, indeed, "suggested his name" for the Africa mission.
* Wilson's original findings — far from discrediting evidence that Saddam was seeking uranium in Niger — actually "lent more credibility to the original CIA reports on the . . . deal," according to the Senate report.
* The official British investigation into prewar intelligence concluded that "it is accepted that Iraqi officials visited Niger in 1999" and that "the British government has intelligence from several different sources indicating that this visit was for the purpose of acquiring uranium." (French intelligence separately confirmed this information.)
Which is precisely what President Bush told the nation.
Which is why the British report declared conclusively that "the [uranium] statement in President Bush's State of the Union Address . . . was well-founded."
Joseph Wilson, in other words, lied thoroughly and repeatedly.
Karl Rove knew that — and tried to warn Matt Cooper off those lies.
That's how administrations — espe cially those that regularly have to contend with a rabidly hostile press corps — defend themselves.

I told you two weeks ago what hangs in the balance as we replace Justice Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court. After more than a decade with no turnover on the nation's highest bench, we deserve a thoughtful process -- a process that steers clear of any attempt to make this a moment of triumph for a narrow political agenda.
Earlier today, I met with the President, along with Senator Specter, Senator Reid, and Senator Frist, to discuss the vacancy at the Supreme Court. I delivered the simple message that Americans want cooperation, not confrontation -- and that we should work together to preserve the Supreme Court's vital role as a court for all Americans.
Join me in making clear that Americans want more than a rubber-stamp nomination. Sign the petition:
http://www.democracyforamerica.com/norubberstamps
I agreed wholeheartedly with Senator John Warner, Republican of Virginia, when he said: "[T]his nomination of the first Supreme Court justice by [President Bush] gives him an opportunity to be a uniter, not a divider, to bring forth someone that can proceed, much like the past 50 years, and to gain a large bipartisan vote, which will send a message to the American public that in these troubled times, we seek to bring together our citizens and not remain divided."
That process, however, must start with the President, and this decision is too important to all Americans for it to be treated as a divisive political campaign. The Supreme Court belongs to all Americans, not just one party or faction.
There are potential candidates who would unite Americans, and those who would divide us. Meaningful consultation is more than a rubber stamp. It means a real dialogue that can help the President find a good nominee who could have overwhelming bipartisan support. The President told us today that he's open to such a dialogue, and our meeting this morning was a beginning step.
Supreme Court justices, once confirmed, hold their jobs for life. Every new justice shapes the Court for years; their decisions affect the lives of all Americans for decades to come. Those facts make a Supreme Cou

ALEXANDRIA, Va. -- Saying his words steered young men into terrorist training camps that are the lifeblood of a movement that plants bombs on subways and trains, Judge Leonie M. Brinkema sentenced an American Islamic scholar to life in prison Wednesday.
Ali al-Timimi, 42, of Fairfax, Va., who had ties to a now-defunct Pittsburgh-based magazine that advocated holy war, was convicted in a lengthy jury trial in federal court here last spring of recruiting a group of northern Virginia men to travel to Pakistan and train to take up arms for the Taliban. The men, who played paintball and went to shooting ranges to train for holy war, were dubbed the Virginia Paintball Jihad.

Bolton to take recess appointment
Posted by: McQ on Wednesday, July 13, 2005
After being the hottest topic in the news for some time, the Bolton nomination faded in the wake of Justice O'Conner's retirement announcement and the 7/7 bombings in the UK. Now comes the strong rumor that Bolton will accept a recess appointment to be UN Ambassador:
With neither the White House nor Senate Democrats showing any sign of yielding in their long-running dispute over documents related to Bolton's State Department work, speculation is rife that Bolton is prepared to accept a recess appointment good through the end of 2006, despite warnings from some GOP senators that it would weaken his influence and effectiveness.
I could understand the warnings if we were talking about the appointment of a disputed judge to the bench. But I actually believe a recess appointment might strengthen Bolton's hand, not weaken it. Unlike a judge, Bolton won't fade from the headlines once appointed. He'll be quite visible. He'll have the opportunity in the time he's in the ambassador's position to either validate his critics or silence them.
Remarking only on the politics of the move, it could end up, depending on Bolton, being a smart move by Bush.

WASHINGTON: American forces have captured a key operative in the organisation of Iraq's al-Qaida leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the top US general said on Tuesday.
Air Force Gen Richard Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the PBS programme The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer that Monday's capture of Abu Abd Al-Aziz, whom he called Zarqawi's 'main leader in Baghdad', was "going to hurt that operation of Zarqawi's pretty significantly."

Wilson's Book May Exonerate Rove
July 14, 2005
"The alleged crime at the heart of a controversy that has consumed official Washington -- the outing of a CIA officer -- may not have been a crime at all under federal law, little-noticed details in a book by the agent's husband suggest," USA Today reports.
In The Politics of Truth, former ambassador Joseph Wilson writes that he and his future wife both returned from overseas assignments in June 1997. That's six years before Robert Novak's column identified Wilson's wife, Valerie Plame.
"The law against unmasking the identities of U.S. spies says a 'covert agent' must have been on an overseas assignment 'within the last five years.' The assignment also must be long-term, not a short trip or temporary post."
Of course, what the article doesn't say is that the legal ramifications, while important to Rove personally, are now completely overwhelmed by politics of the story.

Bolivia Says No to Petro-Biz Pressure
La Paz, Jul 13 (Prensa Latina)
Pressures by oil transnationals against a new Bolivian hydrocarbon law have been strongly rejected by its main promoter, parliament member Santos Ramirez.
Ramirez, president of the Chamber of Deputies´ Economic Commission, said the companies Repsol, British, and Total, from Spain, Great Britain and France, respectively, are blackmailing for investment protection agreements Bolivia signed with those countries.
Such agreements, he noted, are illegal because they were not approved by Parliament, as stipulated in the Constitution.
Their move aims to intimidate Bolivia and allow them to evade the new law, which affects transnationals´ interests, stated Ramirez.
He also condemned the weak stance new Hydrocarbons Minister Jaime Dunn and other officials from the sector maintain towards transnationals.
Meanwhile, several popular organizations said the new law is insufficient and demand the direct nationalization of hydrocarbons.

Public Broadcasting Probe Expands to Include Hiring
WASHINGTON -- An investigation into allegations of political meddling at the Corporation for Public Broadcasting has expanded to include the hiring of the agency's new president, according to a Democratic lawmaker.
Sen. Byron Dorgan of North Dakota said Tuesday he was told of the investigation in a letter from the corporation's inspector general, Kenneth Konz.
Mr. Dorgan requested the inquiry after complaints that last month's selection of Patricia S. Harrison as president and chief executive was rushed and didn't follow normal protocols.
Ms. Harrison, a former co-chair of the Republican National Committee, was elected by the CPB's board of directors on June 23. She was the top pick of CPB chairman Kenneth Y. Tomlinson, a Republican whom public broadcasting supporters and Democratic lawmakers have accused of trying to politicize public radio and TV.
The inspector general already is investigating Mr. Tomlinson's hiring of GOP lobbyists and a consultant to track the political leanings of guests on PBS's "Now with Bill Moyers." The consultant labeled the guests as "anti-Bush" or "pro-Bush."
Calls to the inspector general's office were not immediately returned.
Public interest groups and more than a dozen senators have called for the removal of Mr. Tomlinson. His spokesman had no comment Tuesday afternoon.
Jeff Chester, executive director of the Center for Digital Democracy, a media watchdog group, expects the investigation to reveal that the CPB search process was a sham.

The China connection
Lawmakers lash out at CNOOC's unsolicited bid for Unocal
Thursday, July 14, 2005
A Chinese oil firm's bid to buy Unocal Corp. is part of that country's plan to shoulder past the United States as the globe's dominant superpower, panelists at a Capitol Hill hearing warned Wednesday.
In unusually harsh terms, lawmakers and former government officials lashed out at China National Offshore Oil Corp., which has launched an unsolicited $18.5 billion takeover bid for California's Unocal. The offer is higher than Chevron Corp.'s proposal to buy Unocal for about $16.5 billion, a bid federal regulators have already blessed.
Speakers at the House Armed Services Committee hearing called the move an effort by Beijing to lock up oil supplies at the expense of the United States, since the Chinese government owns 70 percent of CNOOC. Some see it as proof that China means to replace the United States as the world's most powerful nation.

Ecuador Indians protest Petrobras oil development
QUITO, Ecuador, July 12 (Reuters)
Indians and environmental protesters marched through Ecuador's capital on Tuesday to demand that Brazilian state oil firm Petrobras suspend operations in an oil block located in one of the Andean nation's most important Amazon national parks.
More than 150 members of the Huaorani tribe joined representatives from other indigenous and ecological groups in Quito to press Petrobras to stop activity they said was damaging the Yasuni National Park's fragile ecosystem.
"We are saying Petrobras should leave, because Yasuni is the future of our children," said Alicia Ehuenguime Enqueri, vice president of the National Huaorani Organization of Ecuador.
The Huaorani tribe, which has little contact with western culture, lives in part of the park, a UNESCO biosphere reserve that covers 982,000 hectares (2.4 million acres) and is home to 90 species of frogs and toads and more than 500 kinds of birds.
Petrobras last year was awarded an environmental license to build oil drilling infrastructure for Block 31, an area that shares land in Yasuni.

OF FEROCITY and NIHILISM
I think it's only late in the evening, when the email traffic slows and the other distractions fade, that I can really see and marvel at the collosus that is, as Brock calls it, the Republican noise machine, with its ferocity that is only surpassed by its nihilism.
Now we can see in full view what we've seen again and again in recent years, the favored tactic: terror by grand moral inversion, the lie so total and audacious that it almost knocks opponents off their feet.
John Kerry decorated war hero? No, coward and showboat.
We noted yesterday the great article by Josh Green in the Atlantic last year in which Josh chronicled the tactic as Rove practiced it in races he ran down in Alabama in the 1990s.
In one state supreme court race his candidate went up against an opponent who'd developed an impeccable reputation on child welfare issues (he was a former family court judge).
Once you understand the pattern, the strategy suggests itself. Rove orchestrated a whispering campaign to spread the word that the man was a pedophile. Like I said, audacious.
And so here now. Wilson, a whistleblower administration officials were trying to punish, a whistleblower calling out White House-manipulated intelligence during the lead-up to war?
Not at all.
Rove was the whistleblower trying to knock down a campaign of disinformation from Joe Wilson.
The audacity of it is enough to knock some people off their feet. Like I said, terror by grand moral inversion.
And here we have them on their shows and newsprint boxes, having Plame simultaneously a glorified secretary and also a political operator scheming to upend the president's drive to war by sending her husband on a mission to Niger. What range!
The two words capture it: ferocity and nihilism, feeding off each other.

You can't be that stupid.
Fact: The last timie a Dem was mayor of NYC, 2000 people a year were getting murdered. After 12 years of Repub Mayors (Guiliani 8, Bloomberg 4) were looking at approx 500, a 75% reduction.
As I said before, Bloomberg will be re-elected easily, making it 16 years of Repub mayors in the bluest city of the bluest state.

...in the next century, most of us will witness, and some of us will perhaps directly experience, a striking difference in the form and manner of civil disobedience.
As hackers become politicized and as activists become computerized, we are going to see an increase in the number of cyber-activists who engage in what will become more widely known as Electronic Civil Disobedience. The same principals of traditional civil disobedience, like trespass and blockage, will still be applied, but more and more these acts will take place in electronic or digital form. The primary site for Electronic Civil Disobedience will be in cyberspace.
In the next century, for example, we on the left will witness or be part of an increasing number of virtual sit-ins in which government and corporate web sites are blocked, preventing so-called legitimate usage. Just as the Vietnam War and the Gulf War brought thousands into the streets to disrupt the flow of normal business and governance - acting upon the physical infrastructure - future interventionist wars will be protested by the clogging or actual rupture of fiber optic cables and ISDN lines - acting upon the electronic and communications infrastructure.
Just as massive non-violent civil disobedience has been used to shutdown or suspend governmental or corporate operations, massive non-violent email assaults will shutdown government or corporate computer servers. Given the expected continued rapid growth and
development of computer technology, and given the increasing knowledge, sophistication, and expertise of a growing body of cyber-activists, there is no telling exactly how electronic civil disobedience will play itself out in the future. But we can be certain that electronic civil disobedience will undoubtedly become an important element in the emergence of new radical social movements in the years ahead.

"On Electronic Civil Disobedience" by Stefan Wray
There are already examples now in existence of the theory and the practice of electronic civil disobedience, as well as evidence of government and corporate awareness of the potential threat posed by sophisticated cyber-activism.
To gain some understanding of emerging theory on Electronic Civil Disobedience it is probably best to first look at several short pieces by the Critical Art Ensemble. In 1994 the Critical Art Ensemble produced a work called The Electronic Disturbance and in 1996 they produced a sequel called, not surprisingly, Electronic Civil Disobedience. Both works argue that capitalism has become increasingly nomadic, mobile, liquid, dispersed, and electronic. Moreover, they argue that resistance needs to take on these very same attributes. Instead of physically blocking a building entranceway, or occupying a CEO’s office, Critical Art Ensemble argues that we need to think about how we can blockade and trespass in digital and electronic forms.
Not only do these works by the Critical Art Ensemble begin to establish a language with which we can develop ideas about and continue to practice electronic civil disobedience, they also make a case that practicing electronic civil disobedience has become imperative because increasingly traditional forms of CD have become less and less effective. They argue that the streets have become the location of dead capital and that to seriously confront capital in its current mobile electronic form, then resistance must take place in the same location where capital now exists in greatest concentrations, namely in cyberspace. While the second part of the Critical Art Ensemble’s argument makes sense, the statement that the streets are completely useless needs to be qualified. For example, we can not discount the role that street protest played in the collapse of the Soviet Union and the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. This adds credence to the notion that rather than pure electronic civil disobedience, we are likely to see a proliferation of hybridized actions that involve a multiplicity of tactics, combining actions on the street and actions in cyberspace.

Well, well, well. It appears that more information has come to light regarding Rove's involvement in the outing of Valarie Plame and things are looking better and better for him. It also seems that everything I said about this case yesterday is 100% accurate
1. Rove did not specifically name Valarie Plame to the press. He named "Joesph Wilson's wife, who works at the CIA..."
2. At the time Rove was speaking to the press Valarie Plame was not a covert agent and had not been for 6 years. This is according to Wilson's own book. The law only covers the identities of agents that have been working covertly overseas within 5 years.
The case that has to be proven is that Rove intentionally revealed the identity of a covert operative. Valarie Plame was not a covert operative at the time and had not been one for 6 years prior to Rove speaking to the press.
Now Joseph Wilson is crying about an abuse of power, and he is right. Rove did try and use the fact that Wilson's wife works at the CIA to create the appearance of a scandal and discredit Wilson. That does not constitute intentionally revealing the identity of a covert operative and it certianly does not constitute treason.
Everyone knows it.
It's time for you to let go!

I learned that too...but then I moved on from there. I figure that even if everyone is "fake" this is how they want to portray themselves then that's cool with me...I wouldn't mind if all the posts were anonymous either.

Like buzzards they wait to post a reply
Always something sarcastic and caustic to say.
Just like the republicans they despise, they continue to degrade and disparage anyone they don’t agree with.

1. Rove did not specifically name Valarie Plame to the press. He named "Joesph Wilson's wife, who works at the CIA..."
The law doesn't require that he used her full name either...just that she be identified...pointed out...fingered...ratted on...capisca?
2. At the time Rove was speaking to the press Valarie Plame was not a covert agent and had not been for 6 years. This is according to Wilson's own book. The law only covers the identities of agents that have been working covertly overseas within 5 years.
Well that's not what the CIA said when it originally filed the criminal referral...
But you aren't here to debate are you?

The intellectual roots of the Critical Art Ensemble’s work, especially in relation to their nomadic conceptions of capital and resistance, can be first traced to Hakim Bey’s (1991) T. A. Z. The Temporary Autonomous Zone, Ontological Anarchy, Poetic Terrorism, who in turn borrows ideas about nomadology from Gilles Deleuze’s and Felix Guattari’s (1987) A Thousand Plateaus. Bey’s temporary - and nomadic - autonomous zones, existing in cyberspace, become the launch pads from where electronic civil disobedience is activated. The influence of A Thousand Plateaus, especially the chapter called “Treatise on Nomadology and the War Machine,” can be seen running throughout the Critical Art Ensemble’s work. All of these works just mentioned should be required reading for the serious student and practitioner of electronic civil disobedience.
Besides examining hypothetical ideas in these theoretical works, we can actually see that incipient electronic civil disobedience has started to be practiced. One site for discovering such practice is within the global pro-Zapatista movement that has come into being since the January 1, 1994 Zapatista uprising in Chiapas, Mexico. Since just days after the emergence of the EZLN onto the global political scene, computers, and more specifically, computer-based communication over the Internet, primarily and originally in the form of email, have become key and central to the existence of this global Zapatista inspired movement against neoliberalism and for humanity. With each passing year, since 1994, the level of computer sophistication has increased. What began as mere transmission of EZLN communiques and other information via email became also a network of hypertext linked web sites. In borrowing another term from Deleuze and Guattari’s A Thousand Plateaus - in addition to nomadic - the movement of information through these various cyber-nets of resistance has been said to have occurred rhizomatically, moving horizontally, non-linearly, and underground.

Yes, they smell blood in the water but the case against Rove is unraveling. This is going to wind up just like the Dan Rather/Bush AWOL debacle during the last election. Rove will be cleared of outing a covert CIA operative and the President is going to have the press eating crow.

Today there is no debate to be had. The facts around this the Rove case are demonstrating more and more clearly that Rove did not intentionally reveal the identity of a covert CIA operative. Cut and dried. There is no case.

Rove doesn't do anything unintentionally.
Nor does anyone in politics for that matter.
Posted by: Anonymous Coward at July 14, 2005 11:38 AM
"Rove's attorney Robert Luskin has admitted that Rove told Cooper that Wilson's wife worked for the CIA, while claiming Rove did not mention her name. Knowing disclosure of "any information identifying" a covert agent is a felony under the Intelligence Identities Protection Act and may violate other laws and regulations protecting classified information."
Under U.S. law people are presumed innocent of crimes until they are proven guilty in a court of law. However, there is no constitutional right to access classified information and it is common for people who appear to have intentionally compromised classified information without authorization to have their security clearance suspended pending investigation.
Intelligence Identities Protection Act, (50 USC 421-426
There is no requirement to have mentioned her by name.
In an October 1, 2003 Knight Ridder report entitled "Justice Launches Probe Into CIA Leak," an anonymous CIA official was quoted as saying, "If she was not undercover, we would have no reason to file a criminal referral," referring to the referral by the CIA to the Justice Department that a crime may have been committed.
Now as for the knowing her status or proving his intent that's simple you see if he repeated his performance with cooper...he did....he talked to more than one reporter...He had motive...opportunity and means...
