A Decidedly-Non-Commital Response From Microsoft Re: The Arrest of Bill Gates
This has been going on all last week, Benjamin Fulford says Tim Geithner was arrested (but then appeared at some banker meeting), Benjamin Fulford says George Bush Snr was arrested, and his most recent claim that Microsoft founder Bill Gates has been arrested was put to the question by Kerry Cassidy of Project Camelot.
So, she wrote an email to Microsoft's PR Department to enquire whether their founder had indeed been arrested or not, and waited, expecting no response.
Here's a sample from the decidedly-non-commital reply she finally received:
Thank you for your patience as I looked into your request. I have connected with my colleagues and unfortunately we are unable to accommodate your request at this time. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Should you need attribution, please attribute to a Microsoft spokesperson.
So, what the fuck does that mean?
Either Microsoft can't understand the question, "Has Bill Gates been arrested or not?" or this is an A.I. or automated pro-forma reponse they send out to all such kook-mails or they really can't say i.e. aren't allowed to disclose at this time? And the real funny thing is, Microsoft don't need to adopt this peculiar holding-pattern stance. They could just deny everything like corporations always do. But no, can neither confirm nor deny.

Sean David Morton Presents: TimeWave Zero
Sean's guests are Kerry Cassidy, Joseph Matheny, Peter Moon and Greg Hallett.
Terence McKenna's theory Time Wave Zero, is a computer model based on the I-Ching. The theory is "the timewave zero software, which has been on a downhill wave begins to wildly spike staring feb. 8-9 of this year, with a series of plateaus that mean we the human race will globally come aware in a matter of moments rather than decades! this spikes to infinity on 12/21/12!! "…
"Terence McKenna said Dec. 3, 2011 would be the start of the final wave and 385 days equals one full Lunar Year to Dec. 21, 2012, which is also the End of the Emperor Winn's I-Ching . . . "Emperor Winn created the I-Ching in China in 5132 BC and Terance McKenna based all the time wave stuff on a computer model of the I-Ching."and this is the year of the Black Water Dragon which is the symbol on the last plate of The Mayan Codex!". This directly relates to what Bill Wood has been saying regarding the Convergence of the Timelines.
Sean David Morton's new book is "Sands of Time" is about an above top secret project. A true story based on the life of a black project scientist who was given the task to repair the tears in the timeline and manipulation of the timelines. The real story behind Montauk and beyond.

What A Con Artist Wants
Breakdown . . . The 'Played' Is The Thing . . .
with respect, let us begin.
by Clif High
The recent brouhaha involving David Wilcock, Ben Fulford, Kerry Cassidy and unnamed others (Anonymous) has brought to the forefront of thinking, the 'how' of it all… as in how do people, seeming reasonable and (sometimes) rational, fall for such bullshit as the currently unfolding 'lawsuit to bring down the NWO' drama. First thought, of course, is to give the benefit of the doubt, that is, to assume that our cast of 'players' are not willing, but are rather unwitting, actors within the drama currently unfolding.
Then the 'aha' moment manifests, when realization dawns that it is all a con job, and the cast is not 'players', but rather, the 'played'.
At this point there is no concern with the issue of why they fell/fall for these confidence tricks, nor is there even much concern given to the issue of 'who' is 'playing' our players. Rather the attention is directed toward the 'how' of it all.
While initially i thought to offer a breakdown of the 'lawsuit to end the NWO' as a confidence trick, showing point by point (using first Kerry's examples, and then the complete filing papers) how this game is being played, but then, tiring of restating the obvious, a much more fitting approach delivered itself. Let's make it a self teaching game.
Breakdown . . . The 'Played' Is The Thing . . .
Conversation With A Starship Captain?
transcribed by Gail Allen from the Project Camelot Interview
For this transcription I have concentrated on the 'Anonymous' portion of the conversation. All of the information surrounding this groundbreaking story is important and I'm not trying to ignore it, but feel sure David will transcribe the whole interview for his Part II of these continuing developments. There were some words that I couldn't understand and have noted those places in the transcript. If you download the mp3 Interview and read along as you listen you'll be able to grasp the intended tone and inference. Please Contact me with any corrections you might find. I went through it twice, but still, I could have overlooked some mistakes.
Starting at 00:45:15
A = Anonymous
K = Kerry Cassidy
D = David Wilcock
K: Caller, are you on the air here? We've got Anonymous on live.
A: Aye, you're talkin' to me?
K: Hi there.
A: Hi there.
K: Thank you so much for coming on the call. I do understand that you work in a very sensitive capacity, that you were just notified of the situation with David Wilcock … that you are concerned. We welcome your presence here on the air with us tonight. David will be happy to answer all of your questions and will go over everything for you. David say hello to Anonymous.
D: Hi there.
A: Hi there, David … err … I understand you've got a few problems there.
D: (sigh) Yeah, uhh … it hasn't been a very good day.
A: What can you tell me at all? What's been happening to you lad?
D: I have been following this Benjamin Fulford story for a long time. He's been talking for two years now about a lawsuit that was going to be filed that goes back to the Chinese, the Kuomintang, who had gold that they sent to the Federal Reserve in 1938 on seven battleships. The uhhh, bonds were issued against that gold it's all being kept secret. It's part of a vast trove of gold that is held as collateral against the world's economies. They are actually not fiat bubble money, they're secretly backed by gold. Very, very few people know this. You probably do, but most people don't. The Kuomintang are trying to get that gold repatriated or at least get a fairer representation. Apparently it has caused a great deal of turmoil that they are doing this. And this lawsuit, I think, even though it was filed, it's official, it's on record with PACER.gov, and it was covered by Courthouse News Service, apparently these people who threatened me were very, very angry that I put all this story together about the lawsuit to try to reclaim this lost Chinese gold. Uhhh, they threatened BF apparently, he disappeared for a day and a half. There was a television show he was supposed to be on. The people on the show said live on the air that he had been detained by a CIA type group and held against his will in a hotel. Then Fulford shows up a day and a half later, calls the guy on the lawsuit who I'm now in contact with, and said, "Ohhh no. I'm fine. I just went off to the mountains and had fun with my wife then I came home and I went to sleep." Whereas Chodoin Daikaku, this guy who's apparently the head of the martial arts societies, karate and aikido in Japan, goes on the television show the next day and says that in fact he negotiated for Fulford's release, that it was very nasty. And so I posted all this on my Web site including the videos to document it. The very next morning I get this phone call saying that if I wanted to put out part two of my article, I better do it tonight because there may not be a tomorrow for me. That's the situation I'm under right now.
A: Umm…well you better put out part two then.
D: (laughs) Soon as this show gets done I'm going online and that's what I'm doing.
A: Let's not disappoint 'em, eh. Make sure you don't leave anything out. Put everything in. Put it all in. Let the world know.
D: Okay.
A: And we'll be watching, eh.
D: I think it's time. I think it's time.
A: We'll be watching and we'll see. Who was the laddie who rang you? Would you be kind enough to leave your phone number, so you could talk to me?
D: Uhh, yeah, I mean, the insider who called me I can call whenever I want, uh, he was called by two other people, one of whom said, "Do you like David Wilcock? And then you know well uh, you know you might want to talk to him while you still have a chance."
A: Well, David, we like you. And we'd be *really* unhappy if anything was to be happening to you.
D: I appreciate that.
A: I hope you'll make that clear to all the earth and all the folks out there listening, in all the communities that we all know about.
K: Would it be helpful if David were the type into the Skype here a phone number where you could reach this contact?
A: Well it'd save me looking it up in the phone book lassie.
K: (laughs) Right, so David if you're able to type in that information I think that would be very helpful. I have a theory on who this is and I believe that person may be standing by. If they're not standing by, if there's a way for you to make that possible or if somebody else who's with you can do that, that'd be great.
D: Well this person would not come on the air, but I'm..
[cross talk]
A: Oh no, no…it's alright … I'm after a bit of humanitarian work here, and I don't think there'll be anything happening, but don't worry too much.
D: I appreciate that, and I know that if you get grumpy then some people will be very upset.
A: Ahhh, hate to be grumpy. It's Christmas time and all there. Don't want to be grumpy.
K: So this is just for the people that are on this, this is a private phone number, it's not to go out on the air. Is not to be called under any circumstances. Other than by our very illustrious guest who is on a secret jobsite out in the larger world.
D: Yes, please call. Please make that connection and … ummm …
A: I have something to say to you, for all you heroes (hearers?), and you don't know this David, the gold you're talking about is a small amount of gold. It's not a lot of gold when you consider the amounts of gold we're dealing with. We deal with vast amounts far in excess of what you think you know about. The gold is so wide, and so vast, that the real problem is how to keep it all down, and keep it quiet. It doesn't matter, the [?] of diplomacy is long gone. And the low level fellows that try to think they that they're somehow ? got nothing to do with it. And if any of these little lads who hang on with their public service jobs want to create a little problem … ohhh, let's create a big fucking problem. Sorry for the language, I've been out here in the field too long. But we know where they all live too. We know where all their family's are. We know where everybody is.
K: That's very important. I think it bears repeating because your voice is faint …
A: Well I'm a long way away lassie. If you only knew how far away I was. I'm so far away you wouldn't believe.
D: [explains what A: has said and stuff]
K: [asks if a lot of this gold is being taken off-world]
A: Well, it gets put everywhere you know. It's all over the place. It's not in one spot. You wouldn't want to put all your eggs in one basket now would you?
K: D: [more discussion]
K: [marker 01:03:10] Anonymous, are you there?
A: Aye, I'm still here.
K: [asks A: if these kinds of death threats are psy-op]
A: I think they're just trouble makers. They don't like it. It ruins their reputation.
K: (laughs) That's a pretty tall order to ruin the reputation of the Illuminati, but I guess they're gonna work on it. Can you elaborate.
A:Yeah, we've got a simple rule: If you tell it, tell the truth. Don't embellish, tell the truth and don't compromise anyone's privacy … their address', their families … and you're as safe as if you're in a bank vault full of gold.
D: [talks about himself telling the truth and reads a e-mail from his contact telling him the same thing and asks him to remove some stuff from Part I]
A: Well, I just said that, now didn't I?
D: Yes, that's what he's saying.
A: Then we gave the same advice.
D: [continues to read]
A: David, David me boy, that's all fine. I'm not a good numbers man with all of this sort of thing, but let me tell you this, so all your readers and listeners can know. There's many more 10 of millions of tons of fine precious metals around the place than you'd ever imagine. What you're talking about is a sand bucket full of nonsense. It doesn't matter. It's little. It's unimportant. And all those little fellows that are so far down the ladder, they're all buzzing around like ants trying to fight for the bread crumbs from off the table.
K: [asks if the threats are basically coming from a lower level]
A: They're a bunch of fools as far as I'm concerned.
K: [tells everyone a .pdf has been made of Part I and asks A to clarify that there's plenty of gold and the people making threats over certain gold are off base]
A: Very much so. These little offshoots, and these little cells that grow independently, they're all concerning at times, but if they become too noticeable for us, we'll go and have a talk to them. So they should be mindful of who they threaten. You've heard about the big fish that eat the little fish and then the shark comes along and eats the bigger fish. Well, they might be a tasty little meal for us. And I'm not in the public relations department, I'm sorry ma'am, I'm not in the public relations. I don't have to talk softly or gently or say the right sort of things. I mean I'm accepting the call because of a mutual friend.
K: [notes that D: is like family and asks A if he'd put it that way]
A: Well let me say this, as far as I'm advised, if anyone bothers this lad or a few of the others around trying to tell the messages that they're telling, we'll be highly pissed off. And it won't be one or two that'll have a headache I can assure you countries will have headaches. And if peoples out there who are listening, will know what I'm talking about. We don't deal in ones and twos. We deal in whole societies.
K: [doesn't want to encourage this kind of talk]
A: Ma'am I'm sorry. You're talking about things at the sharp end of the business. There's none of this funny woffie, soffie stuff that you guys go on about. We're very serious. Nobody is to be interfered with unless they do the wrong things. As long as they don't break the rules, which are simple. Tell the truth and don't compromise any of the other little people's privacy. Simple as that. Not too hard to follow, eh?
K: [assures D: she's close and there for him should he need anything]
A: And David, David me boy, I'm sorry to interrupt ma'am, but I'll be up having some snow skiing and meeting some of those lovely friends of mine in Asia. We're going to have a lovely get-together in about a week, so I'll be talking about you to make sure I know you're alright. And the leaders of these countries will also be real interested to know that you're alright and you're freely publishing whatever you want, so longs as it's the truth. We'll be very upset if we don't see all your publications. I want you to send everything out, everything you can think of my boy. Put it all out there. A lot.
D: Okay, honestly Kerry, I was going to flee…
A: Don't you flee. Go and have a lovely dinner. I'll bet you're one of the fellows that likes dining in around Los Angles somewhere around the beach. Go and do that.
D: Okay
A: Go and do that, and if you've got any doubts, put 20 or 30 little drives, those little thumb drives, put 20 with friends you trust, put another 20 around the world that's people you don't even know. Give them someone to dish out to tell everyone. And that way you'll fuck 'em all.
D: I've already done that.
A: Gooood! Excellent! That's right, well get 'em all, cause we don't need any of that stuff.
D: [talks about sending out his files and how to act on them]
A: Ah that's nice. You do that for all of them. Understand that we don't need any of that. We don't need to investigate. We have ways and means of knowing what's in everyone's information, everyone's computer, we don't need a thing. We do it in a different way. We need no physical material requirements at all. No machinery as you understand it.
D: Yeah, I mean … this was my form of backup, so…
A: You do that because the people that are bugging you, if in fact these are even real people and not (knot in their holders ?), they're nothing, they don't exist. They're not worth a piece of used tissue paper far as we're concerned.
D: Well, this phone call I got was serious as a heart attack, but I can tell that you are too, and I
A: David, we're the sort of folk that don't follow you after the heart attack when you've died son, we'll be there on the other side to bother you again.
D: and K: (laughs)
A: So be assured, we can bother them irrespective of the deaths of their body. And don't talk about torture in this life, talk about torture in lives that goes for thousands of generations.
D: Well, I appreciate that.
A: Do you understand what I'm saying? You understand the depths of what we're talking about?
D: I do.
A: And this phone calls is coming from so far beyond the never-never you could never appreciate it.
K: [steers conversation back to the gold and asks A: if he knows why this 'group' is so fixated on 'this' gold]
D: [answers that it will expose 'everyone' involved and bring about a 'change' for worldly prosperity and remove them from power]
K: [asks for A:'s opinion]
A: Ahh, not too much … they're some lovely ideals and we all hope it works out that way. It's hard … when you make a omelet sometimes you've got to break a few eggs. But he's right about one thing, it doesn't matter what country you're in, where you're coming from, 99% of all the people in public office, all the people and all the folk that work in the civil service are genuine, caring folks, they really are lovely people … and we care for those folks and want to see all the families happy. But it doesn't take too many rotten eggs or rotten apples to spoil a barrel or a dozen [?] there's always one that smells and causes the rot to set in. It's a problem.
K: Are you willing to address the situation with the bankers that's going on in Switzerland at all, or are you interested in talking about what's going on with the money around the world and tracing it?
[commercial 01:17:21 to 01:22:52]
K: [welcome back etc. begin again at 01:24:37] It's very rare that you come on in these circumstances or that anyone from your group comes on the air. Is there any kind of message you'd like to give people about these trying times in which we are in.
A: Well there's nothing I can say specifically. All I can say is that there's challenges ahead. Won't be easy. But if you keep yourself positive and keep by your family … mind you family … your family is everything. That is the way forward. We will survive. In 20 years time, we'll be in a different world, different place … different feelings and different values. It will be so different it will be hard to comprehend. Many of these villains they'll be gone … vanquished once and for all. But it takes many generations to get to this point let alone to get rid of the villains forever. ? the world this time.
K: There are many White Hats among you, including yourself, who are out there fighting the good fight and going behind the scenes, going into the darkness as I call it, in order to deal with the situation here. But they are fighting on our behalf, isn't that true?
A:Yes. Yes. It's very true.
K: Thank you, and we do appreciate it. [asks David to go back for the people tuning in with regard to Benjamin Fulford]
D: [gives title of article that started all this, and recaps what's in the article]
A: 01:30:52 (contemplative sigh) If they want to follow you David, you can drive wherever you want. I will find you. I can sit down from a satellite and watch you from anywhere. That's not the solution boy (meaning fleeing). The things you're talking about, a lot of things will be discussed about the Asian situation next year. But there are many dragons that are interested in the Phoenixes' rising. The Daughters of the Phoenix is coming back again and the folks listening will know what I'm talking about. They'll know that for 100 years or more this has all been planned and that the naughty boys will have to take their licking's. The accomplished number of 505 will really make the love of the world far more sensitive. And they'll know when I say that how serious I truly am. They'll go back to the agreements in 1943 of the second World War and many others that were signed as humans in the public version of the Bretton Woods agreement. But the dynasties and the Chang Ling's and the others, I've name dropped a little here, they'll all know that these silly little fellows shouldn't be bothering anyone. And you can all take it from me, that the folks hearing this know what I'm saying. I think it's enough for you to be worrying about now, eh? It's all done. It's all finalized. It's over.
K: Okay, so this situation with David at this time has been addressed. Is that what you're saying caller?
A: I feel it's done. It's mischief, eh? He's a man that should able to go on his quiet way and enjoy his business. And the gold of this world ma'am, don't worry about it, it'll all sort itself out. It's much more valuable to be used in industries than to be sitting around in a vault somewhere.
K: [agrees]…and I think that's a key statement right there, which maybe that reveals the level at which these people who've made the threats really are at because they don't understand the true use of the metal. Is that right caller, would you say?
A: There's a lot we don't tell them. I mean do you tell your dog what's going on in the front street of the morning street news or whatever? I mean why bother him with it, let him go and pick up the bones and fetch the paper for you.
K: and D: laughs
K: Oh god (chuckles) okay
A: Let's be serious, lass … we don't want any problems with the good folk out there. We work quietly … behind the scenes. The other fools are just little fools trying to grab a few million here and there. They're not worth worrying about. Understand, the only concern is for the protection of the human society as a whole. There's no distinction between country's or race or color. The human race and the genome is all. Forget all your nationalities, all your culture, all your prejudice … it's all created to keep you busy … to keep you occupied.
K: Actually, yes. Very wise words coming from a secret location in an indistinct place very, very far away. Ahhh, huhhh … okay at this moment, [Kerry goes back to Maxine Taylor]
A: Ma'am, ma'am I'm sorry to interrupt you but I'm going to have to be going. David, five [5?] of my representatives will be landing in your country within 7 days. One of them will come visit you, don't worry about it, but we know everything about you, where to find you, what you number is, we know what your underpants size are. One of them will ask you how you are, you must tell them the truth, exactly the truth if anyone's bothered you, if you're stressed someone else has harassed you, you must tell them the truth. That's all.
D: I'm going to tell them exactly the truth.
A: And if you do that, you've honored your commitment to us. Just tell the truth.
D: Okay.
A: And then, say no more about it and then we'll take it from there.
D: Okay. Thank you very much.
A: Alright it was lovely speaking to you all, I must be going.
K: We'll be in touch with you and thank you for coming forward at this time and thank you for the group of White Hats that you represent.
A: Well, I do apologize it's the time of day it's a bit longer. The distance is actually a bit longer than what you'd expect so it is a bit of a time delay in the back and forth in the conversation.
K: (chuckles) Absolutely, we hear you. Okay, any parting words, Anonymous, for the listeners out there?
A: You tell your listeners that uh, all of your listeners, there are some difficult times ahead for everyone. I won't lie and say that … but after those times the rainbows will be shining for everyone. Everyone on this planet will be shining in rainbows. Because there's no way we've put all this time and effort in to see this beautiful race damaged or destroyed. The human race will be on, in a million years it will be in glory that you can never appreciate. It'll be around. Good bye to you now and thank you very much and God be with every one of you.
A Note on Anonymous by Kerry Cassidy:
For the record, as I have stated on Avalon Forum… I do know Anonymous.. I invited him to come on the show. We did this in order to get a message out there to protect David. That mission was accomplished. At great personal risk Anonymous came forward. He is not from 'off world' as some surmised. He is very much one of us. By that I mean, he is a highly gifted human with ET roots as we all are.
It was my idea to bring on Anonymous (actually I called him immediately after I hung up with David and although I can't remember if I asked I remember he volunteered to come on the air and make sure the low level guys got the message). I was surprised he would risk everything to do this on the one hand but knowing how loyal and caring he was and how he could protect David (that is, contact those who could) I agreed. He then asked permission and sorted out a quick cover story.. and we arranged to have him call in on a special phone.
Note from Rayelan at Rumor Mill News concerning the identity of Anonymous:
BTW… the Scottish Irishman who was talking to David is the same Shamus who worked with me for over ten years and then married me off to Gunther. Shamus is a starship captain. He is Gunther's higher self and now that I have heard his again, I know where Gunther is these days! And I hope to hell those of you who know what he is capable of are shaking in your Texan boots!
Note from me:
I'm a Texan and feel sure Rayelan didn't mean anything derogatory toward Texan's in general. Let's not forget: There are bad guys from all over the world, not just Texas, and there are good guys from all over the world, including the Republic of Texas.

David Wilcock, Part II: History Lesson
The Trillion-Dollar Lawsuit That Could End Financial Tyranny, Part II
David's life has been threatened to tell you this story . . . . so we are rushing it out to insure his safety.
This is the big one . . . . over two million tons of gold secretly confiscated by the Federal Reserve to create "bubble money", and the lawsuit that could bring the whole global conspiracy crashing down.
Written by David Wilcock, Divine Cosmos, Sunday, 18 December 2011
First of all, I want to thank you for giving this your serious consideration. Nothing I've ever written before has gotten me a death threat — and though I consider myself a strong person, I was quite disturbed by it.
I sprung into immediate action to insure this electrifying story went as far as wide as possible — in case anything happened to me.
We now have multiple, powerful insider groups pledging to protect me — and the story has spread so quickly through the Internet that I believe its publicity is its greatest protection.
As I prepare to post this section, we've already had over 400,000 hits, 1000 written comments and 21,000 Facebook Likes on Part One in less than six days.
Tens of thousands of people are writing about this on their own websites, and the growth rate is at least geometric, if not logarithmic at this point.
It was 3:30 PM on Wednesday, December 14th, 2011 when I found out I might be tortured to death for writing "The Trillion-Dollar Lawsuit That Could End Financial Tyranny."
I was told I should get Part Two out that night for my own protection, as this was the most sensitive, jealously-guarded secret of all — and tomorrow may be too late.
I moved very quickly to protect myself once this call came in, immediately publishing "death threat" updates to my article, which was already extremely popular.
Kerry Cassidy suddenly called me and told me she was going on the radio in 20 minutes and recommended I join her. I ran into the shower and started the show immediately after I dried off in a hurry.

Benjamin Fulford on Sean David Morton's Radio Show
December 15, 2011
Three Days of The Candor: David Wilcock In Dramatic Presentation of Ben Fulford's Disclosures
Two 'Must Listen To' Interviews
First, David Wilcock offers an intriguing Benjamin Fulford interview. Ben explains the backstory to a lawsuit filed in New York on behalf of the royal family of China. The problem involves a bonds for gold swap in the tense period before World War Two as the Japanese invaded parts of Asia. In the 80 years that followed things went awry. Instead of safekeeping the gold bricks they somehow got mixed up with gold painted tungstun and the bonds were registered with sloppy typo errors according to Fulford. And to make matters even worse, the whole kit and caboodle of documentation and gold was buried and lost forever in the rubble of building number 7 on September 11, 2001.
Ben Fulford Interview
Then, David Wilcock began to receive death threats and called Kerry Cassidy of Project Camelot to tell her about it. Protection was arranged for David immediately. A man named Anonymous got on the telephone and encouraged David to get the whole story out. And, as far as the death threats were concerned, he said David should forgetaboutit.
Kerry Cassidy speaks with David and Mr. Anonymous
The World Is Not What It Seems To Be
– Terence McKenna
Project Camelot's Livecast on YU-55
I've just watched a very interesting conversation among Kerry Cassidy, Richard Hoagland, and David Wilcock on a Project Camelot broadcast.
Richard was saying that YU-55 has been targeted to hit the moon and is part of a plot to knock out low-Earth satellites with the dust debris, cause a blackout here on Earth, shut down financial markets, etc. Tomorrow's ESA alert is also a part of it, he says. The whole thing is a Project Bluebleam, false-alien attack.
Here is a recent talk show in which I believe Richard discusses his theory of YU-55. 42 mins. I won't have time to listen to the whole broadcast at this moment, I'm afraid.
Click here to view the embedded video.
He added that an alternative theory is that President Obama could "pull a Kennedy thing" and use YU-55 as a screen behind which he can disclose. Late in the program he asked David if David thought disclosure would occur tomorrow, to which David replied that he didn't think it would, though it will be happening at some point. Kerry presented the theory that the Chinese were planning to take over the United States and take over the world. And David countered that he didn't think they'd be allowed to.
It was quite clear that no one among the group reads SaLuSa and Wanderer of the Skies.
Richard did respond that "another player in the game has intruded into this [nursery?] and is changing the rules." At another point in the conversation he said: "Someone at a higher level has shut these guys all down and they don't have a clue what is going on."
Soon after David joined the call, David said that "there is someone steering the ship … that is ensuring that we somehow navigate through each of these little detours that we could have gotten thrown off on and for that reason I am resolute in my optimistic focus." High-level ETs, David called them. "There does seem to be a very consistent X factor that keeps us from collapsing," he said on another occasion. He believed that this high-level ET coalition was taking what he called "the old World Order" down.
"I feel, like David, that we're on the precipice of something really wonderful happening," Richard added. He predicted that something spectacular will happen on 11/11/11.
So my next comment is really difficult to say and I'm watching a primitive vasana of arrogance arise in me as I say it. (1)
But that X factor, those high-level ETs, that someone at a higher level, is precisely what we're following here. Everyone has a piece of the puzzle and the piece we have is the "intelligence" that SaLuSa, Wanderer, the Arcturian Group, and all the other ET channels supply us with on a regular basis.
We hear channeled messages being attacked from time to time among lightworkers but here, in this very conversation, we see the benefit of those messages.
Kerry, David and Richard rely on insiders as well as their own observations and internal data and they are gradually arriving at a sense that something is preventing what David calls the "Old World Order" from winning. Their "insider intelligence" is very valuable to us and is one piece of the puzzle. But it doesn't allow them to put their finger on what is happening.
Our channeled intelligence is another part of the puzzle and it does allow us to put our finger on what is happening. It doesn't allow us the rich intelligence on what the terrestrial players, often cabalists, are saying and doing, which Kerry, David and Richard contribute. So I'm not saying their part of the puzzle is not a contribution. Just that it's a different piece and has its limits just as our piece does.
To return to our piece of the pjuzzle, the extraterrestrial sources (plus Matthew Ward) that we follow here actually do explain these matters fairly precisely (as far as they can) and sometimes at some length. They tell us the plan, warn us against false-flag and other engineered operations that won't be permitted, tell us how it will all work out, etc.
Watching Kerry, David and Richard struggle with something that is common knowledge to those who read channeled messages was reassuring for me because it proved the value of channeled literature, which so many people pooh-pooh. And I may refer to this evening's discussion of YU-55 as a good example proving the usefulness of channeled literature so perhaps put a bookmark here.
OK, enough arrogant "I told you so" on my part.
Some of the other interesting comments included David saying that a general had told him that he had a few years back seen a briefing program for the evacuation of the White House in December 2011 in an attack attributed to aliens. He didn't think this was going to happen. There was very good intel that says that the earthquakes were in fact the explosion of underground bases. And these and other operations had disoriented the cabal.
David went on to say that the universe is made of a conscious energy. It is governed by intelligence. And that intelligence did not create life here on Earth just to see it belched off the planet by a sunspot. He said he did think that this intelligence was protecting the Earth from disaster. Well, yes, that intelligence takes the form of the Galactic Federation and other space coalitions currently around the planet in cloaked ships. And yes, it is protecting the Earth from disaster.
So I personally have just seen a pro9gram that wonderfully affirms, though it did not set out to do so I'm sure, the value of channeled messages.
I'm not posting much on YU-55 because we've been told that any attempt at running Project Bluebeam or trying to cause a planetary disaster is doomed to fail. YU-55 may very well hit the moon tomorrow, but I also believe that the galactics will prevent it from doing damage to Earth in the way Richard described.
We've gone through so many disaster scenarios, and Richard himself knows this and spoke to it, and none of them have turned out. I don't believe there is any sense in getting ourselves wound up around a fresh prediction. As our sources have said, there is no catastrophe that will overtake the Earth. The "X factor, those high-level ETs, someone at a higher level," which we know as the Galactic Federation, will see to that.
(1) In my view, there is nothing one can do to prevent a thought or a vasana, like this one of arrogance, from arising. But one can do one of two things when it does arise. (1) Refrain from writing until it passes or (2) write from that space but declare the thought or vasana so that everyone knows about it and then write awaredly, not projecting the vasana and being careful how one phrases what one wants to say.
If I'm not careful in my phrasing here, my comment could come out like "I told you so." I want to avoid that but I also thought it might be good to actually write while in a vasana of arrogance, to show it can be done, without projecting or lecturing.

- - Where do you get your gear, and who sponsors you to compete locally? (http://www.mmaforum.com/gear-equipment/79249-where-do-you-get-your-gear-who-sponsors-you-compete-locally.html)
Where do you get your gear, and who sponsors you to compete locally?
I am just wondering where everyone gets their gear to wear for jiu Jitsu on and off the mat?
Personally I don't want to be seen wearing Affliction , Tapout gear ect.. off the mat this seems to be
the look of the new arm chair quarterbacks (those who think they know the sport but don't actually train) I would rather get my stuff from someone who is a bit more underground who supports and sponsors BJJ Athletes who are just getting started in the sport, or those who have been at it for a while even but possibly do not make it their career, but enjoy training and competing and do not want to get lost in the sea of people who do not train and wear (the newest fad brand name stuff to look cool gear).
I discovered BJJ Legion not long ago http://www.thebjjlifestyle.com/ they gave me a discount on the gear I bought from them for joining "The Legion" on their website which also gives opportunities to earn sponsorship even if your a white belt which I found pretty cool.:thumb02:
Anyhow all that leads me back to the question I started the post with.
Where do you get your gear from, and one additional question who gives you sponsorship if any to compete locally?
my gear
I usually just get on google and shop around for my gear.
So I sign up for that websight to get a discount whats the catch?
Keep me posted if you stumble on anyone else that does something like this let me know. Let me know if you find anyone else who sponsors people for signing up and promoting their gear like they do. Which I think is totally Awesome by the way.
I normally get my gear at my gyms pro shop.
Oh and I looked at the web sight you linked too I have a barbed wire tattoo that's not cool bro Im gonna sit on you until you tap right after I eat some rocks, Rocks taste good! Haha. Just kidding, and thanks I nearly spit coffee on my keyboard while browsing there.
My instructor orders my stuff for me through some vendor he has a account with, and never thought much about being sponsored to compete so I can't comment on that.
I just Bought a GI from MMA Warehouse. Wish I would have seen this post first.
We have done some sponsoring in the past, and may look to start sponsoring some amateur fighters. We'll let you know.
If your looking for a discount on some gear, we have a 20% Off Sale starting in a few days. Follow us on Twitter or subscribe to our newsletter to get our coupon code.
best of luck!

On the 'NetThe full results of Vision 2030's November 2008 gatherings, and its interim report prepared last summer, are available online
Steamboat Springs When all is said and done, work on Vision 2030 may last until its namesake year.
Though Vision 2030's final report is nearing completion, the next step is encouraging entities across Routt County to implement its recommendations, project manager Tammie Delaney said. That indeterminate, citizen-driven phase will go on for years, she said. The Vision 2030 project is a large-scale effort to identify key values and ideals of the Yampa Valley community.
In gathering information through community meetings, surveys and focus groups, Vision 2030 learned the largest percentage of respondents - 35.9 percent - were most concerned about preserving the character of the Yampa Valley. Changing economic development patterns were the biggest concern for one-quarter of respondents, followed by retaining open space features, at 19.1 percent.
"We have more in common than we allow ourselves to think," Delaney said.
After the project's completion, results will be presented to government bodies, community organizations, and other stakeholders. Groups and individuals will be tasked to champion individual goals in order for the ideals behind Vision 2030 to come to fruition, especially given the budget constraints currently faced by governments across the county, co-chair Marsha Daughenbaugh said.
"Citizen groups will come together, convene on the recommendation and run forward," Delaney said. "Some of these items, the timing won't be right just now. It may be five years for some of these items to emerge and make sense, others already are being worked on.
"It all comes back to the community to stay on top of this," Daughenbaugh continued.
In many cases, recommendations have existing champions unaffiliated with Vision 2030. Delaney cited the transportation solutions group formed by the Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association as an example. The body established 10 lodging shuttle stops in downtown Steamboat Springs this fall to reduce congestion and had long-term goals such as creating a regional transportation authority for Routt and Moffat counties.
Vision 2030's transportation-related recommendations include maximizing the options for transportation choices, including pedestrian, bike, car-sharing and transit; requiring new transportation projects to incorporate pedestrian- and bike-friendly features; and instituting methods to reduce and control emissions. Vision 2030 also focuses on promoting the ability of people with a variety of incomes to live and work locally.
Community character
Vision 2030 is a collaborative effort to help define the future of the Yampa Valley, update 1994's Vision 2020 Report of Recommendations and create a community vision.
The initiative, two years in the making, was funded by $77,000 each from the city of Steamboat Springs and Routt County, Delaney said.
Vision 2030's final report is scheduled for completion by March 31, Daughenbaugh said.
Of those who thought character was the top priority, more than 70 percent said that meant retaining small-town feel and friendliness, and nearly 22 percent defined character as maintaining a connection to local history and roots - with historic buildings, a Western feel and ranching tradition.
For residents who found changing economic development patterns Routt County's largest concern, two-thirds wanted to see "managed growth" in the future, defined by diversity in residents and the economy and the ability of people to live and work locally. Most of the remainder were anti-growth.
Vision 2030 held its second round of community gatherings across the county in November 2008. The responses aligned well with previous survey results, even though 42 percent of participants were new to the process, Daughenbaugh said.
Recommendations vary
Some of Vision 2030's recommendations are specifically targeted, such as one encouraging county and local planning departments to prepare annual report cards to show progress on various master plans and community visions, and having a "community character" standard that developers should demonstrate for their projects.
Others, such as promoting school outreach programs, and promoting policy and development that promotes the viability of farming and ranching, are more abstract or undefined.
"Putting numbers to abstract, touchy-feely stuff, it's priceless," Delaney said. "It kind of makes you take pause and think a little bit harder about decisions that might otherwise be based on tangibles - what kind of sales tax will this bring? What's the setback going to be?
"Very seldom are decisions made as to will this contribute to or take away from our community?" she continued.

Germany Didn't Pay for Credit Suisse Tax Evader Data, HB Reports
By Jul 11, 2012-
German tax authorities didn't pay for data giving the names of Credit Suisse's account holders probed for alleged tax evasion, Handelsblatt reported, citing unidentified people close to the matter.
A Credit Suisse employee mistakenly sent the list in June after the bank reached an agreement with the tax office to co- operate and deliver information in September 2011 provided it didn't breach data-privacy law, the newspaper said.

Deron Williams on Hunter report: 'Change is needed'
The Nets' Deron Williams became the NBA's first star player to call for Billy Hunter's ouster as union chief, telling CBSSports.com on Friday night, 'Change is needed, top to bottom.'
NEW YORK -- If NBA players were waiting for some of the sport's biggest stars to step up and weigh in on the disturbing findings against union chief Billy Hunter, consider that done.
"I think change is needed, top to bottom," Nets star Deron Williams told CBSSports.com on Friday night, becoming the league's first high-profile player to call for Hunter's ouster as executive director of the National Basketball Players Association.
"I don't think things were getting voted on like they should have been," Williams said. "... I'm sure there's guys that are still with Billy, and some guys that aren't. We've just got to figure out what the next step is."
Hunter, 70, the union's executive director for 16 years, was the subject of a scathing, 469-page report released Thursday by an independent law firm. While the probe of the union's finances and business practices under Hunter's leadership stopped short of finding him criminally liable, it blasted him with a meticulous assault against what it characterized as questionable stewardship of union finances, failure to properly manage conflicts of interest -- which his hiring of and business relationships with family members created -- as well as a litany of acts that displayed poor judgment and served his personal interests above those of the union.
Most relevant to the union's future leadership, the law firm found that Hunter's 2010 contract extension -- worth as much as $18 million -- was not voted on by the board of 30 player representatives, in violation of the union's constitution and bylaws.
"That's what I mean about stuff not being voted on," Williams said.
Williams, speaking after the Nets' seventh straight home win, 94-89 over Atlanta, acknowledged that he has not read the findings against Hunter, only viewed media reports about them and spoken with other players. The Hawks' Al Horford, a former player rep who participated in some collective bargaining sessions during the lockout, also said he had not had time to read the report.
But the Hawks' Kyle Korver, the Hawks' alternate player rep, has read the summary of the law firm's findings and planned to continue reading on the team's flight home to Atlanta. Korver said it's "incredibly important" that players educate themselves about the findings and get involved in the decision of who will lead the union going forward.
"I think everyone's got to read the information, and we've got to make the decision together," Korver said. "I think where all this can go wrong is when people start throwing out their opinions. We all have the information now. In the past, we didn't always know. You'd hear rumors. Do you believe these agents? Do you believe the union? Do you believe ESPN? This is it. This is the real stuff. So I'm sure there are going to be some decisions made."
The report by Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison recommended, among other things, that the players ensure that full rosters of player reps and executive committee members are properly elected and decide quickly whether Hunter should remain as executive director. The firm recommended that the steps be taken as soon as All-Star weekend in Houston next month, when regular NBPA meetings are scheduled.
While investigators did not suggest what should be done about Hunter's future, they did make it clear the players have a strong legal case to dismiss him as executive director because his contract was not properly approved. The report also suggested the players could seek reimbursement from Hunter for certain questionable travel expenses and at least a portion of more than $1 million in unused vacation time for which records were incomplete and payment was not properly vetted by independent advisors.
"If the NBPA's Player Representatives and Executive Committee members decide for any reason that the union deserves a fresh start, they are free to do so," the report stated. "... In our judgment, the Union has no obligation to accept Mr. Hunter's current contract as valid and enforceable."
The "for any reason" aspect of that recommendation could be key for players who are on the fence about Hunter's future in light of the report's findings. The reality is that many players will not read the report, further evidence of the poor player involvement cited in the report as one of the reasons why Hunter's powers went largely unchecked.
But some players, like Williams, and their agents already were displeased with Hunter's job performance before the report's findings were published. While Hunter's perceived losses in three rounds of collective bargaining against NBA commissioner David Stern are a matter for interpretation, the findings against the longtime union chief made it clear that the reasons for dismissing him would not be limited to the report's findings.
"I didn't like how things went down with this negotiation," Williams said. "I sat in on some of the meetings, and nothing good came out of it while I was there. All along, they were telling us, 'Prepare for the lockout.' I think we weren't active enough, weren't aggressive enough. ... I think there could've been some other measures taken -- decertify earlier and a lot of other things."
Whatever the players decide, they won't have much time to learn the facts and get organized. All-Star weekend is only five weeks away.
"We need some of the higher-caliber players to kind of step up and bring some guys together," Korver said. "We need to have some conference calls, and the player reps need to make sure that everyone knows what's going on. I think there's plenty of time to do that. Read the report, talk to a couple of people, and you know what's going on.
"There's already that perception of dumb athletes, that we don't really care as long as we get the paycheck," Korver said. "There might be some guys like that, but there are a lot of guys who aren't. We need to step up and make a decision, and I think we will."

Event Details
Catalyzing Cleantech: Where is the Money in 2013?
Steady capital is a must for all companies. The first step in funding is knowing where to look. Every day, we read the depressing news headlines about cleantech investment "collapsing" in 2012, companies going out of business, investors shutting down funds or pulling out of cleantech investment but there are some bright spots in all the doom and gloom. Not all venture firms are joining the cleantech exodus. There is money for cleantech! On March 21st we will be highlighting firms that are actively investing in emerging cleantech companies and firms that have raised new funds with allocation for cleantech.
Topics to be covered include:
- Who is getting funding and why?
- What sectors are the most attractive?
- What are the new funds for early stage investments?
- What is new and what should we expect for 2013?
Join key players who are actively investing in cleantech, to discuss 2013 opportunities and trends to access capital for your emerging cleantech company.
Our Panel discussions are interactive, informal, and intend to be a candid conversation more than a presentation. We want you to walk away with the real story behind how things work so you can make it happen yourself. So bring your questions with you! Each Panel is followed by a Networking Reception.
Please visit our event web page for more info about this session!
- Bill Reichert, Managing Director, Garage Technology Ventures [launched a new Cleantech Investment Program, investing $500,000 to $5M in promising opportunities from seed to late stage companies]

Cast of Woody Allen's New Film Air Their Issues With The Biz
At the Cannes premiere of Woody Allen's newest film You Will Meet A Tall Dark Stranger, the film's star Josh Brolin as well as Allen opened up about the problems they've had with the film industry over the years. For Brolin, it's that he couldn't get good material; for Allen it's that he can't get the girl.
Brolin admitted how he struggled for years in B-movie territory until hitting his stride with Oscar-bait No Country For Old Men. What followed was a slew of high-profile films such as W., Milk and now Stranger.
"I realized [movies] could be better," Brolin said. "There was
one point where I was doing films that I didn't care for so much, not
that I felt like I was better than the film at all. But I would see the
film and it wasn't gratifying to me." Good thing that now, his career couldn't be hotter!
Allen said he won't act in his movies anymore because he just can't deal with the fact his age keeps him from playing the leading man.
"For years I played the romantic lead and then I couldn't play them
anymore because I got too old to play it. It was no fun just not
playing the guy who gets the girl. So unless I can think of some way to
do it, no," he said. "You can imagine how
frustrating it is when I do these movies for Scarlett Johanssen and Naomi Watts [who stars in the film], the other guys get them. And I'm the director. That
old guy over there is the director. I don't like that."
Yeah no offense, but I'll take Josh Brolin please!

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
Anonymous yesterday launched a campaign of vigilante justice over yet another high school jock sexual assault scandal.
It's becoming an all-too-familiar narrative. The otherwise-sleepy middle American town in the spotlight this time around is Maryville, Missouri, where former high school football player Matthew Barnett, the grandson of former Missouri state Rep. Rex Barnett, was accused of sexually assaulting a highly intoxicated 14-year-old girl named Daisy Coleman, while a 15-year-old boy was accused of doing the same to the girl's 13-year-old friend. A third boy, Jordan Zech, admitted to recording one of the incidents on a cellphone. Daisy's mother later found her sprawled on the front porch of her house in a semiconscious state, her hair frozen and her shoes and possessions scattered in a neighbor's yard.
That cold January night in 2012 was only the beginning of the nightmare for the Coleman family, who told their story in an in-depth feature in the Kansas City Star on Sunday. Daisy's mother, Melinda Coleman, who allowed the press to use her daughter's name, told reporter Dugan Arnett that in the weeks and months following the incident, Daisy and her family members were spurned and bullied and eventually run out of town. Later, the Coleman's house in Maryville, which was on the market, mysteriously burned to the ground. Fire officials haven't determined the cause of the blaze. The Star reported that despite many of the facts in the case being largely undisputed—the boys said they had sex with the girls and admitted to leaving Daisy "outside in 30-degree weather"—Robert Rice, the Nodaway County prosecutor, dropped the felony sexual assault and misdemeanor child endangerment charges against Barnett and a felony sexual exploitation charge against Zech.
Rice told the Star the charges were dropped for lack of evidence and other information that came to light. "There wasn't any prosecuting attorney that could take that case to trial," he said. But the 15-year-old boy admitted to having nonconsensual sex with Daisy's friend, was charged as a minor, and made a plea deal to serve several months in a juvenile facility, according to local public radio station KCUR.
Now Anonymous, the amorphous collective of online activists, pranksters, and hackers, is on the case. The group is credited with bringing national attention to cases like this through internet and social-media campaigns. It's also responsible for sometimes employing questionable, borderline illegal tactics to expose the people they think are to blame. Such was the case in Steubenville, Ohio, where two high school football players were accused of raping a girl. An offshoot of Anonymous gained access to private social-media accounts and leaked videos and photos that revealed the identities of many high school students who were caught talking about the rape on camera but were never charged with crimes. Though the group's intentions may have been in the right place, Anonymous' tactics also swept up the victim in its crusade for justice, exposing her identity to the world. Yesterday, the group released a statement announcing their campaign #OpMaryville and #Justice4Daisy:
We demand an immediate investigation into the handling by local authorities of Daisy's case. Why was a suspect, who confessed to a crime, released with no charges? How was video and medical evidence not enough to put one of these football players inside a court room? What is the connection of these prosecutors, if any, to Rep. Rex Barnett? Most of all, We are wondering, how do the residents of Maryville sleep at night?
Gabriella Coleman (no relation to the alleged victim), a McGill University anthropologist who is writing a book about Anonymous, calls these campaigns seeking justice for rape victims one of the group's more successful issues. After the hacktivist collective successfully turned Steubenville into a national story through its unforgiving rogue tactics, the group has been approached by dozens of alleged rape victims pleading for help. "It doesn't surprise me at all that they are going after this," Coleman says. "The fact that Anonymous is interested can bring massive attention to the issue."
But where there is vigilantism, there can also be collateral damage. Take the residents of Steubenville, who were painted as apologists for the two high school football stars that were convicted in March of raping a girl there. Outspoken feminist writer Katie J.M. Baker filed a dispatch from Steubenville in September for Jezebel and described the residents as traumatized by the events that transpired and despondent over the characterization of the entire community as being complicit with the act.
Townspeople who tried to set the record straight by talking to reporters told me they were dubbed victim-blaming rape apologists and received so many death threats they had to change their phone numbers and email addresses. "We supported and still support Jane Doe 100%," [one Steubenville resident] said. "But the focus shifted when we watched helplessly as the media ripped innocent people apart we'd known since we were babies." She said her priorities changed when commenters posted photos of her young children online and called for them to be raped because her husband is a Big Red coach. "That's when this became less about Jane Doe and more about an entire town being destroyed for what two people did," she said. "That's when Jane Doe's wellbeing took a backseat."
But Baker ultimately concluded opening a national conversation on rape culture, entitlement, and sexual consent is worth the possible fallout. "Horrible stories like this one make a strong case for narrative trumping nuance," Baker tells Mother Jones. "It's less important to me how this story [in Maryville] is different from Steubenville and more important that the country has Steubenville as a reference point in listing the ways the fight against rape culture is far from over—and we wouldn't if it wasn't for Anonymous, despite their mishandling of the Steubenville case."
In the coming days, Gabriella Coleman says she expects a coordinated campaign by Anonymous to get the local law enforcement back on the case, despite the dismissal of the charges. She said the group has learned from its past campaigns, including the Rehteah Parsons case in Canada, where the group successfully lobbied local law enforcement to reopen what had been considered a closed case.
"Unless there is publicity, a lot can fall through the cracks," Coleman says. "It's certainly the case that sometimes the publicity brought to a case has negative consequences, but one can also say bringing no publicity to the acts has even worse consequences."
Anonymous' #OpMaryville acts so far have fallen more in the prankster realm than in serious hacker sleuthing. Yesterday, the group exposed a restaurant that was linked to Barnett, and people subsequently flooded the Yelp page with negative reviews. But the collective is also asking the press to file Freedom of Information Act requests to look for any connection between Rex Barnett and the prosecutor who dropped the charges against the boys. They have also planned a demonstration in Maryville on October 22, asking supporters who cannot attend to send daisies in support.

- "This discourse is at an end."
- —Zead to Saint Germain
Zead (ゼアド Zeado?) is a main villain who works with Isaac in Castlevania: Curse of Darkness. A priest who claims to seek the end of the curse and gives Hector clues as to Isaac's whereabouts.
Official background: A man that seeks to abolish the curse that is afflicting Europe. He wishes for Isaac to be vanquished so that the curse may finally be lifted. He constantly supplies Hector with information about Isaac and his whereabouts.
Character HistoryEdit
Zead appears as a priest, who investigates the source of the curse that runs through Europe. Hector encounters him a few times, one of which reveals that he seems to have a grudge against Saint Germain. Eventually, although not directly stated, Zead manages to lock Saint Germain at the top of the clock tower in the Eneomaos Machine Tower, where he planned to make Hector and Saint Germain kill each other; however, neither of them die and they are released from said place. It is here where Hector questions his ideals of revenge towards Isaac, thereby preventing him from becoming the next host for Lord Dracula.
After Isaac's defeat, Zead reveals that he is actually Death in disguise. When Hector refuses to let the curse consume him, Zead applauds Hector's strength of will before assuming his true form and engaging the Devil Forgemaster in battle.
Name SpeculationEdit
There is a point that should give him away who he is actually, despite Hector's unawareness. Zead is an anagram of Deaz or THE AD, which is similar the way that most monster encyclopedias in past games call death (デス). This might give the player an idea who he actually is.
Other AppearancesEdit
Pachislot Akumajō DraculaEdit
- Main article: Death/Pachislot
Dracula's faithful servant Death makes an appearance in the Pachislot Akumajō Dracula series (I, II and III). He appears as Zead in many of the encounter scenes, but when fought, morphs into a towering Death similar in form to that found in Castlevania: Curse of Darkness. In the second game, Zead arrives to test Trevor. Three floating cards are displayed which represent which boss you may have to fight. This is similar to the mini-boss battles selected by whipping a floating card during the Death battle in Castlevania: Bloodlines.

Post by Jim Newman
Sam Harris wrote a post on profiling, In Defense of Profiling.
"Much has been written about how insulting and depressing it is, more than a decade after the events of 9/11, to be met by "security theater" at our nation's airports. The current system appears so inane that one hopes it really is a sham, concealing more-ingenious intrusions into our privacy. The spirit of political correctness hangs over the whole enterprise like the Angel of Death—indeed, more closely than death, or than the actual fear of terrorism. And political correctness requires that TSA employees direct the spotlight of their attention at random—or appear to do so—while making rote use of irrational procedures and dubious technology.
"Although I don't think I look like a jihadi, or like a man pretending not to be one, I do not mean to suggest that a person like me should be exempt from scrutiny. But other travelers fit the profile far less than I do. One glance at these innocents reveals that they are no more likely to be terrorists than walruses in disguise. I make it a point to notice such people while queuing for security at the airport, just to see what sort of treatment they receive at the hands of the TSA.
Michael Mungai of the Huffington Post has written a response "End of Profiling: Letter to Sam Harris" Chris Stedman has also written a response "Sam Harris, Will You Visit a Mosque With Me?". The latter is insulted at Sam's Islamaphobia saying that there are many examples of moderate Muslims. However, I must agree that this is an incredibly small minority and I know of no instance where tens of thousands of Muslims have protested the atrocities of their fellow terrorist Muslims but tens of thousands of Muslims will protest and kill over cartoons and blasphemy—where were the thousands of moderates then saying to stop the killing? They were too busy apologizing and contextualizing the murders.
Stedman writes:
The real problem is the Islamophobic misinformation machine, supported by our conflict-driven media. Stories of Muslims engaging in peaceful faith-inspired endeavors don't sell nearly as well as stories of attempted Times Square bombings. Yet even coverage of violent stories is skewed against Muslims: for example, the mainstream media largely ignores violence against Muslims, such as when a mosque in Florida was bombed. (Just imagine the media frenzy if that had been a Muslim bombing a church.) The press also ignores stories of Muslim heroism, such as the fact that the man who stopped the Times Square bomber was himself a Muslim. Perhaps we perceive Islam as inherently violent, and imagine that an "Islam versus the West" clash of civilizations is inevitable, because our perspective is shaped by the warped way the media reports on Islam.
I have to agree with Hitchens that Muslims are by the definition of following the Koran literally, through many translations and interpretations, following a violent guide to life. It would also be a mistake to say that every Muslim follows violent words of the Koran and I praise the many who are trying to change it. I do not praise those who insist The West is to blame for the ills of the Mideast and have solidarity for Islam for tribal reasons. Islam desperately needs a reformation on any continent it exists where it is used literally or figuratively as reason for violence.
Yes, we are all insulted by labels, categories, stereotypes, and even archetypes. We don't like to be labeled because it objectivizes us. As Sartre said "Hell is others" and as TS Elliot said "We are others". Either way we would rather be dealt with as individuals even though most of us fit within at most 1,000 or so types, perhaps even 20 or 30. As my psychologist bro-in-law wears on a t-shirt—we are all the same in our own unique way.
In any case, the best of freedoms deal with us as individuals making individual choices. We are not ants. We are humans with a built-in personal agency bias called free will. Whether it is ephemeral or not we feel it. My brain-body may know I am thirsty before I think to myself I need a beer but I nevertheless have been politely informed by my body of such so that I could say hell no I need to finish this post and maybe that response was there early too, deep inside, and for some reason (the brain parts were at odds and an arbiter brain part said let's wake Jim up and ask him) consciousness was brought into the discussion—or maybe I just happened to take a break and say hey, what is my brain doing?
In any case, aside from the individual conscience and conscious aspect of individual identity and rights, profiling shortcuts the search process somewhat but has its faults.
My sister flies often and also complains of little old ladies being searched. Little old ladies can carry bombs.
The problem is not that profiling isn't a useful tool. It is. The problem is that it's not a good enough tool. Like Ron Paul Jr who wanted a privileged prefly, no search, upper class list to fly through security, people who fly a lot are going crazy with home land security bullshit. My take on it is get rid of the security. It's not worth it. It's too damned late in the game of security or international diplomacy. But that's not even part of the argument. So, the problem is not that profiling is objectivizing, or bigoted if you prefer, it is that it isn't good enough in determining dangerous people.
I am suggesting that women, children, and little old ladies are dangerous. It is crazy to think that finding Muslim looking people will fully or even sufficiently evaluate dangerous individuals. And it has nothing to do with profiling. Profiling does work to some degree in the same sense that every time I go to a rock concert they search me harder because I look like a freak. And I was. I just knew how to deal with it. Profiling doesn't get moles, newbies, and unwilling plants. Sam's article is symptomatic of frustration at airport security.
I can't even write about the obvious ways to curtail security as that is a threat and I can be questioned or even arrested.
It does smack of the horror of Japanese interns so we must be absolutely careful and respectful in the process. No one likes to be labeled by looks. Stedman is right to criticizing the poor behavior of atheists. The point is security and not predefining guilt or making racial or bigoted slurs.
The FBI "Communities Against Terrorism" Suspicious Activities Reporting Fliers site has some interesting info on profiling by security category. You read the various profiles and it just sucks. You know it's too broad a net. You also know that people get so damned excited they start pointing the finger just because on aspect fits the profile.
The "Recognizing Sleepers" PDF was particularly interesting:
- Arrival from countries where violent militant Islamic groups are known to operate
- Long unexplained absences for purposes of religious education, charity work or pilgrimage
- Travel to countries where militant Islam rules
- Support for Militant Islamic groups
- Excusing violence against Americans on grounds that American actions provoked the problem
- Fury at the West for reasons ranging from personal problems to global policies of the US.
- Conspiracy theories about Westerners (eg, the CIA arranged for 9/11)
- Accusing the West of trying to destroy Islam
ZUTPHEN, Netherlands — On the surface, the young Dutch Moroccan mother looked like an immigrant success story: She studied business in college, hung out at the pub with her friends and was known for her fashionable taste in clothes.
So residents of this 900-year-old river town were thrown for a loop last year when Bouchra El-Hor, now 24, appeared in a British courtroom wearing handcuffs under an all-encompassing black veil. Prosecutors said she had covered up plans for a terrorist attack and wrote a letter offering to sacrifice herself and her infant son as martyrs.
"We were flabbergasted to learn that she had become a fanatic," said Renee Haantjes, a college instructor who recalled her as "a normal Dutch girl."
In 2005 PsyBlog posted.
People talk as though terrorists are 'other' than us, and while their actions are certainly 'other', experts on terrorists have discovered their backgrounds are often very normal. Terrorists are only human — too human — and that can be even more frightening….
If anything, then, terrorists are notable for their normality, for their ability to blend into the background and remain unnoticed. Those recruited tend to be of average appearance, normal in behaviour in the situation they are in, fairly young – between 20 and 25 – and reasonably well educated, often to university level.
The PPT The Profile of a Palestinian Suicide Terrorist shows that a suicide terrorist is 99% likely to be a male (except the LTTA and PKK), religious (76% versus 9% nationalist, and 1% leftist), unmarried (84%), between 17 and 27. Nonsuicide terrorists are similar but likely to have more education and in the past (Miller 1977) to have a revolutionary ideology rather than a religious ideology.
At www.america.gov "Profile of Suicide Terrorists Defies Common Stereotypes"
Sageman, a forensic psychiatrist and terrorism researcher, cites a study in which he examined more than 400 al-Qaida-affiliated terrorists from the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Northern Africa, and Europe. The study showed only about 13 percent went to madrassas, or religious-based schools, often thought to be a source of new suicide attackers. Sageman said that the vast majority of terrorists in his study, about 84 percent, were radicalized in the West, rather than in their former countries….
Writing in the Washington Quarterly, Atran says understanding the theme of humiliation in terms of how they have been treated by foreign forces is important to understanding Islamists' rage. Individuals who choose to commit suicide bombing attacks often are influenced more by values and identity with the terrorist group than by other considerations for their own well-being, he says….
"The motivations for suicide attacks are not so different in many ways from the motivations for other types of terrorism, including attention to a cause, personal notoriety, anger, revenge and retribution against a perceived injustice," says Audrey Kurth Cronin, a former specialist in terrorism with the Congressional Research Service, which is part of the U.S. Library of Congress.
Hell, they profile me now at airports because a bushy bearded Ashkenazi descendent looks a lot like a mideastern Muslim minus the suntan. When I am with my family they dismiss me more readily. That is a mistake but the assumption is that a family profiles lower. Most suicide bombers are single. I'm telling you any suicide bomber worth his salt would find a family willing to die for the cause to challenge the profiling. Any security agent, in all fields, that says they aren't profiling is lying. We all make superficial assessments when considering our safety. It's part of why we seek proper attire to show immediate inclusion and immediate trust. In a plural society it gets tricky.
Nevertheless, aside from emotions, if security after reviewing all of those caught in security could determine a profile that would better detect possible risks then as a temporary and what I would consider rather poor process they could use profiling. However, it's a crappy solution, inevitably temporary and unfair.
Generally, the entire airport security issue is still a joke as Sam points out with his ammunition they missed. I took a guitar to Europe no sweat but I heard of others being stopped for steel strings that could strangle. One of three airport changes held back my umbrella as a potential weapon.
Anyone looking at the big picture can see how the process is a joke and can still be afraid, as even a shoe can be a bomb.
I read Mein Kamp, abridged, (I couldn't dig through the unabridged drivel but I tried), and what amazed me was his astute observation that war is an utter suspension of humanity. Horrible it is but in war rules don't matter. The Geneva convention and the rest of those rules seem humane to you and me but to someone who wants to win at all costs, or believes they are following an absolute ideology, a sacred ideology even, it just doesn't matter.
My friends returning from Vietnam told me of women, children, and old people carrying bombs. The coast of Japan has many caves and they were filled with civilians of all ages readying suicide boats when we dropped the Atomic bomb instead of doing a land attack
Do you really think Americans would hesitate at any subterfuge when in war? It's a joke that Muslims hate drones and night raids—as if politeness of consideration of family night life mattered. As if using drones was more cowardly because we are not facing the enemy—that is the old argument that war should be hand to hand instead of from planes, ships, and missile silos. Good grief how many people do I know that love medieval chivalry but it's nevertheless killing—it's as if we want to kill but do it politely. Or rather to experience the heat of battle. It's a joke that we get insulted at pissing on dead bodies as if that were worse than killing them in the first place.
The only reason we practice any sort of humanity in war is for the hope that the enemy realizes we don't think of it as full war. That some glimpse of humanity will show that we want to win but not annihilate or destroy at all costs. That's a kind of diplomacy but when you begin to lose the war will you still care? This is a winner's diplomacy.
More importantly, conquerors need to rule the people after conquest. Unless you kill everyone you don't want to piss them off so bad they continue to fight after conquest. Ashoka after conquering India nearly broke the bank forcing the people to Buddhism to ensure peace. Osama bin Laden was worried that suicide bombers killing citizens would tarnish the reputation of jihad but infatuated Pakistanis et al don't care.
I have been in self defense classes and especially for women it is hard to get them to defend themselves, "You mean I have to kick them in the balls as hard as I can? But won't that make them impotent?" It is hard for men to be willing to bite, they want to punch. If you aren't aggressive, trained, or acculturated it's not intuitive. Often it is cultural. When I was a kid, school-ground fights were two people in a circle with no kicking allowed. Now, it's a circle of several pounding the crap out of one–honor versus power of groups.
We say we want a fair fight but in war, personal survival, and even ideological wars, winning trumps humanity. World War II was a watershed experience in modern media-reported horrors. Comforted by distance and history we forget just how utterly horrible people will be to each other. Hell, half of Asia is related to Khan and his raping voracity.
It's not that profiling is racist, it's not effective enough such that old crippled women could hold a bomb and we have no good way of knowing that. Once you have suspended the rules of humanity and created such a deep conflict there are few limits. Both Harris and the responders are wrong. What we need are better diplomacy, better mechanized search systems, and an insistence on Universal Law and Rights.
Jim Newman, bright and well
