See here! Mysticism is NOT a Dirty Word

Democracy Now! Thursday 07 February 2008

The Maharishi school of MANAGEMENT? WTF?

Someone please tell John Hagelin that the Maharishi himself was a mystic.

He owes Jesus, Buddha, Joan of Arc, the Maharishi, and all other mystics an apology! Mysticism is not a dirty word. Mysticism is a rationalist's way of saying, the boogeyman under my bed. What makes rationalists assume that a ratio of Beloved/Beloved, generating this self-evident Awareness of our own Becoming, is amenable to Newton's methods? There's nothing "mystical" in this Voice that resounds in all heads, that is aware of its own becoming. Just a machine.

Just because we assume our Mother to be a machine doesn't make Her so. We simply cannot abdicate our role in our experience of Truth. Reducing psychic phenomena to physical mechanics wasn't legit back in Newton's day, it still isn't legit.

Reading between the lines, Gen. Hayden says:
~~~~~~~~~
The times and circumstances scared us so much we were FORCED to torture, and we'll do it again, because we have no free will, we are simply machines doing as we're programmed (don't look behind the Curtain, nothing to see here).

Don't even try to resist, or our Great Cosmic Machine will deposit you in Guantanamo, and there will be nothing we can do about it, the machine is god.
~~~~~~~~~

Such absolute faith in authority is perfectly anti-democratic.

Notice that "only 3 detainees" have been tortured. Not humans. Not people.

~~~~~~~~~
They all have 'foreign' names, they don't look at all like WASPs, and they pray to the wrong god. It's not like we tortured real people. Don't worry, it's no one you know.

We hurt the guys who hurt us, therefore we are good.

And that was 5 years ago, ancient history.
~~~~~~~~~

HA! See that twitch? An imperfectly inhibited defense reflex.

Here's my translation:
~~~~~~~~~
OK, I'm here saying we did to 3 people what I said we never do. But that wasn't a lie. I couldn't tell you, I had no choice. Just like right now, I have no choice, I can't tell what else I'm lying about. My silence is both sacred and patriotic.

And you mustn't prevent me from being able to betray everything we stand for just to go ape on someone who hurt us. You wimps. Only pussies don't torture.
~~~~~~~~~

Are we people, endowed with inalienable rights, citizens of a republic? Or just consumers, drones, voting machines on 2 legs?

Zelikow Authored the US National Security Strategy, What Could He Gain from Myth-Jacking the Report?

Rumsfeld leaned heavily on the FBI and CIA to find any shred of evidence linking the Iraq government to 9/11, but they weren't able to. So he set up his own fact-finding group in the Pentagon, the Office of Special Plans that would provide him with whatever shaky connections it could find or surmise.

Feeling confident that all plans were on track for moving aggressively in the world, the Bush Administration in September of 2002 published the "National Security Strategy of the United States of America." The official policy of the U.S. government, as proudly proclaimed in this major document, is virtually identical to the policy proposals in the various white papers of the Project for the New American Century and others like it over the past decade.[It wasn't known at the time that Zelikow was the author.]

Detainee Interrogation Reports
Chapters 5 and 7 rely heavily on information obtained from captured al Qaeda members. A number of these "detainees" have firsthand knowledge of the 9/11 plot.

Assessing the truth of statements by these witnesses--sworn enemies of the United States--is challenging. Our access to them has been limited to the review of intelligence reports based on communications received from the locations where the actual interrogations take place. We submitted questions for use in the interrogations, but had no control over whether, when, or how questions of particular interest would be asked. Nor were we allowed to talk to the interrogators so that we could better judge the credibility of the detainees and clarify ambiguities in the reporting. We were told that our requests might disrupt the sensitive interrogation process.

We have nonetheless decided to include information from captured 9/11 conspirators and al Qaeda members in our report. We have evaluated their statements carefully and have attempted to corroborate them with documents statements of others. In this report, we indicate where such statements provide the foundation for our narrative. We have been authorized to identify by name only ten detainees whose custody has been confirmed officially by the U.S. governement.*

____________
*Those detainees are Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Abu Zubaydah, Riduan Isamuddin (also known as Hambali), Abd Rahim al Nashiri, Tawfiq bin Attash (also known as Khallad), Ramzi Binalshibh, Mohamed al Kahtani, Ahmad Khalil Ibrahim Samir al Ani, Ali Abd al Rahman al Faqasi (also known as Abu Bakr al Azdi), and Hassan Ghul.
