http://www.rense.com/zer/zerofon.htm (1 of 7) [11/16/2007 4:56:39 AM]

The Grey Area of Legitimacy I'm not saying that legitimate healings do not take place. They do. Maybe the individual was ready to let go of the negativity that caused the problem in the first place; maybe it was the work of God. Yet I contend that it can be explained with existing knowledge of brain/mind function. A Game in Which the Rules Keep Changing The techniques and staging will vary from church to church. Many use "speaking in tongues" to generate catharsis in some while the spectacle creates intense excitement in the observers. The use of hypnotic techniques by religions is sophisticated, and professionals are assuring that they become even more effective. A man in Los Angeles is designing, building, and reworking a lot of churches around the country. He tells ministers what they need and how to use it. This man's track record indicates that the congregation and the monetary income will double if the minister follows his instructions. He admits that about 80 percent of his efforts are in the sound system and lighting.
Powerful sound and the proper use of lighting are of primary importance in inducing an altered state of consciousnes--I've been using them for years in my own seminars. However, my participants are fully aware of the process and what they can expect as a result of their participation.
Six Conversion Techniques
Cults and human-potential organizations are always looking for new converts. To attain them, they must also create a brain-phase. And they often need to do it within a short space of time--a weekend, or maybe even a day. The following are the six primary techniques used to generate the conversion. Isolation Intimidation, Deprivation and Indoctrination The meeting or training takes place in an area where participants are cut off from the outside world. This may be any place: a private home, a remote or rural setting, or even a hotel ballroom where the participants are allowed only limited bathroom usage. In human-potential trainings, the controllers will give a lengthy talk about the importance of "keeping agreements" in life. The participants are told that if they don't keep agreements, their life will never work. It's a good idea to keep agreements, but the controllers are subverting a positive human value for selfish purposes. The participants vow to themselves and their trainer that they will keep their agreements. Anyone who does not will be intimidated into agreement or forced to leave. The next step is to agree to complete training, thus assuring a high percentage of conversions for the organizations. They will usually have to agree not to take drugs, smoke, and sometimes not to eat...or they are given such short meal breaks that it creates tension. The real reason for the agreements is to alter internal chemistry, which generates anxiety and hopefully causes at least a slight malfunction of the nervous system, which in turn increases the conversion potential. The "Sell It By Zealot" Technique. Before the gathering is complete, the agreements will be used to ensure that the new converts go out and find new participants. They are intimidated into agreeing to do so before they leave. Since the importance of keeping agreements is so high on their priority list, the converts will twist the arms of everyone they know, attempting to talk them into attending a free introductory session offered at a future date by the organization. The new converts are zealots. In fact, the inside term for merchandising the largest and most successful human-potential training is, "sell it by zealot!" At least a million people are graduates and a good percentage have been left with a mental activation button that assures their future loyalty and assistance if the guru figure or organization calls. Think about the potential political implications of hundreds of thousands of zealots programmed to campaign for their guru. Be wary of an organization of this type that offers follow-up sessions after the seminar. Follow-up sessions might be weekly meetings or inexpensive seminars given on a regular basis which the organization will attempt to talk you into taking--or any regularly scheduled event used to maintain control. As the early Christian revivalists found, long-term control is dependent upon a good follow-up system. Wearing Down Resistance Alright. Now, let's look at the second tip-off that indicates conversion tactics are being used. A schedule is maintained that causes physical and mental fatigue. This is primarily accomplished by long hours in which the participants are given no opportunity for relaxation or reflection. Increasing Tension The third tip-off: techniques used to increase the tension in the room or environment. Introducing Uncertainty About Identity Number four: Uncertainty. I could spend hours relating various techniques to increase tension and generate uncertainty. Basically, the participants are concerned about being "put on the spot" or encountered by the trainers, guilt feelings are played upon, participants are tempted to verbally relate their innermost secrets to the other participants or forced to take part in activities that emphasize removing their masks. One of the most successful human-potential seminars forces the participants to stand on a stage in front of the entire audience while being verbally attacked by the trainers. A public opinion poll, conducted a few years ago, showed that the number one most-fearful situation an individual could encounter is to speak to an audience. It ranked above window washing outside the 85th floor of an office building. So you can imagine the fear and tension this situation generates within the participants. Many faint, but most cope with the stress by mentally going away. They literally go into an alpha state, which automatically makes them many times as suggestible as they normally are. And another loop of the downward spiral into conversion is successfully effected. Jargon The fifth clue that conversion tactics are being used is the introduction of jargon--new terms that have meaning only to the "insiders" who participate. Vicious language is also frequently used, purposely, to make participants uncomfortable. Lack of Humor: No Release, No Resistance The final tip-off is that there is no humor in the communications... at least until the participants are converted. Then, merry-making and humor are highly desirable as symbols of the new joy the participants have supposedly "found."

The Drone Bomber Race...

...begins (well, among our allies, that is).
From a piece in the Malaysia Sun:
BAE Systems of the U.K is developing Britain's first unmanned fighter-bomber for the Ministry of Defence.
The Taranis project, forms part of the U.K's Unmanned Air Vehicle program and will cost the government 124 million pounds.
BAE Systems is working with military staff and scientists to develop and fly Taranis.
The jet will be designed with a bat-wing and will be able to think for itself, independently tracking and destroying enemy aircraft and targets.
But BAE has assured defence personnel that human authorisation will always be required before Taranis can use any of its weaponry.
Ground testing is expected to take place in early 2009, and the first flight trials are scheduled to take place in 2010. Taranis could be fully operational within 10 years.
I know, I know, this might be old news to some, but it's news to me. And I am curious to know from our international readers what the status of this project is right now. As you know, I'm a huge fan of combat drone development, and I want to make sure we have the latest on all efforts here.
Bring it!

http://lawprofessors.typepad.com/environmental_law/governancemanagement/index.html "Sustainable, renewable energy maintains our standard of living and provides energy independence The US is far behind in the energy independence sweepstakes race. Steve Mufson of the Washington Post reports that the oil-exporting countries are winning this race by $ 700 billion annually. And the US is not, and never again will be, an oil-exporting country.
Between rising oil prices and global warming impacts, continued reliance on oil virtually guarantees that our standard of living will fall and fall dramatically in the coming years. It also guarantees that some of the most vicious regimes will have plenty of money to buy, creat, proliferate, and use true weapons of mass destruction (i.e. tactical and strategic nuclear weapons).
It is so ironic that Republicans, traditionally the national security hawks, have been so passive in moving the United States towards sustainable, renewable energy. Maybe someone can connect the dots for them.
Oil Price Rise Causes Global Shift in Wealth By Steven Mufson Washington Post Staff Writer Saturday, November 10, 2007; A01
High oil prices are fueling one of the biggest transfers of wealth in history. Oil consumers are paying $4 billion to $5 billion more for crude oil every day than they did just five years ago, pumping more than $2 trillion into the coffers of oil companies and oil-producing nations this year alone.
The consequences are evident in minds and mortar: anger at Chinese motor-fuel pumps and inflated confidence in the Kremlin; new weapons in Chad and new petrochemical plants in Saudi Arabia; no-driving campaigns in South Korea and bigger sales for Toyota hybrid cars; a fiscal burden in Senegal and a bonanza in Brazil. In Burma, recent demonstrations were triggered by a government decision to raise fuel prices.
In the United States, the rising bill for imported petroleum lowers already anemic consumer savings rates, adds to inflation, worsens the trade deficit, undermines the dollar and makes it more difficult for the Federal Reserve to balance its competing goals of fighting inflation and sustaining growth.
High prices have given a boost to oil-rich Alaska, which in September raised the annual oil dividend paid to every man, woman and child living there for a year to $1,654, an increase of $547 from last year. In other states, high prices create greater incentives for pursuing non-oil energy projects that once might have looked too expensive and hurt earnings at energy-intensive companies like airlines and chemical makers. Even Kellogg's cited higher energy costs as a drag on its third-quarter earnings.
With crude oil prices nearing $100 a barrel, there is no end in sight to the redistribution of more than 1 percent of the world's gross domestic product. Earlier oil shocks generated giant shifts in wealth and pools of petrodollars, but they eventually faded and economies adjusted. This new high point in petroleum prices has arrived over four years, and many believe it will represent a new plateau even if prices drop back somewhat in coming months.
"There's never been anything like this on a sustained basis the way we've seen the last couple of years," said Kenneth Rogoff, a Harvard University economics professor and former chief economist at the International Monetary Fund. Oil prices "are not spiking; they're just rising," he added.
The benefits, to the tune of $700 billion a year, are flowing to the world's oil-exporting countries" excerpted http://lawprofessors.typepad.com/environmental_law/governancemanagement/index.html

Page Tools Email to a friend Printer format Their name is Bond, and they're causing a stir in the classical music world.
Four young women are injecting (gasp) sex into classical music. By Patrick Donovan.
2 To the quartet themselves, they are four strong women in their late 20s, "seeking the challenge of the new and wanting to have fun"; to the classical music scene, it means style over substance; to classical music teachers, it means more students in classes; to their record label, Decca, it means 3 million album sales.
Because our music has a pop influence, we're quite happy to wear glamorous designer clothes on our album. - Tania DavisTo corporate sponsors, they are a group with one foot in the teen pop market, the other in the older, wealthier classical music demographic. Luxury companies such as Jaguar, Martell cognac, Mittweida beer and Othello watches are involved in sponsorship deals with the group.
Member Tania Davis, from Sydney, who plays viola and has performed with the Australian Chamber Orchestra, the Sydney Symphony and London Symphony Orchestra, says questions about Bond sexing up classical music would not be asked if they were a pop act.
"People have these expectations that because we come from a classical background, somehow we should be wearing long black dresses and looking serious on our album cover," she says. "Because our music has a pop influence, we're quite happy to wear glamorous designer clothes on our album. We chose to enjoy that whole thing that goes along with being four girls - we see it strong and empowering that we can look great on an album. It's a sign of the times - Kylie Minogue and Delta Goodrem, they've both got glamorous pictures of them on it. It's part of today's marketing." http://www.larastjohn.com/reviews/articles.html
