A World Where Lies Are True
Posted on Mar 26, 2007
By Chris Hedges
"Before they seize power and establish a world according to their doctrines, totalitarian movements conjure up a lying world of consistency which is more adequate to the needs of the human mind than reality itself; in which, through sheer imagination, uprooted masses can feel at home and are spared the never-ending shocks which real life and real experiences deal to human beings and their expectations. The force possessed by totalitarian propaganda—before the movements have the power to drop iron curtains to prevent anyone's disturbing, by the slightest reality, the gruesome quiet of an entirely imaginary world—lies in its ability to shut the masses off from the real world."
—Hannah Arendt, "The Origins of Totalitarianism"
In the middle of the lobby of the 50,000-square-foot Creation Museum in Petersburg, Ky., a 20-foot waterfall tumbles. Two life-size figures of children with long black hair and in buckskin clothes play in the stream a few feet from two towering Tyrannosaurus Rex models that can move and roar. The museum, which cost $25 million to build and has a sea of black asphalt parking lots for school buses, has a scale model of Noah's ark that shows how Noah solved the problem of fitting dinosaurs into the three levels of the vessel—he loaded only baby dinosaurs. And on the wooden model, infant dinosaurs cavort with horses, giraffes, hippopotamuses, penguins and bears. There is an elaborate display of the Garden of Eden, where Adam and Eve, naked but strategically positioned so as not to display breasts or genitals, swim in a river as giant dinosaurs and lizards roam the banks.
Before Adam and Eve were expelled from paradise, museum visitors are told, all of the dinosaurs were peaceable plant-eaters. The evidence is found in Genesis 1:30, where God gives "green herb" to every creature to eat. There were no predators. T-Rex had such big teeth, the museum explains, so it could open coconuts. Only after Adam and Eve sinned and were cast out of paradise did the dinosaurs start to eat flesh. And Adam's sin is a key component of the belief system, for in the eyes of many creationists, in order for Jesus' death to be meaningful it had to atone for Adam's first sin.
The museum has a theater equipped with seats that shake and gadgets that spray mist at the audience as the story of God's six-day creation of the world unfolds on the screen and the sound system rocks the auditorium. There are 30-foot-high walls that represent the cliffs of the Grand Canyon, floors that resemble rocks embedded with fossils, and rooms where a "Christian" paleontologist counters the claims of an "evolutionist" paleontologist. It has the appearance of a real science museum, complete with a planetarium, a gift shop and plaques on the wall with quotes from creationist "scientists" who have the title doctor conspicuously before their names. It has charts, timelines and graphs with facts and figures. It is meant to be interactive, to create, like Universal Studios, a contrived reality with an array of costly animatronic men and women as well as moving dinosaurs.
The danger of creationism is that, like the pseudo-science of Nazi eugenics, it allows facts to be accepted or discarded according to the dictates of a preordained ideology. Creationism removes the follower from the rational, reality-based world. Signs, miracles and wonders occur not only in the daily life of Christians but in history, science, medicine and logic. The belief system becomes the basis to understand the world. Random facts and data are collected and made to fit into this belief system or discarded. When facts are treated as if they were opinions, when there is no universal standard to determine truth, in law, in science, in scholarship, or in the reporting of the events of the day, the world becomes a place where people can believe what they want to believe, where there is no possibility of reaching any conclusion not predetermined by those who interpret the official, divinely inspired text. This is the goal of creationists.
Other creationist museums are going up in Arkansas, Texas, California, Tennessee and Florida. Museums are part of a massive push to teach creationism in schools, part of a vast Christian publishing and filmmaking industry that seeks to rewrite the past and make it conform to the Bible. The front lines of the culture wars are the classrooms. The battle is one we are slowly losing. Twenty states are considering changing the way evolution is taught in order to include creationism or intelligent design.1 Only 13 percent of Americans in a 2004 Gallup poll, when asked for their views on human origins, said life arose from the strictly natural process of evolution. More than 38 percent said they believed God guided evolution, and 45 percent said the Genesis account of creation was a true story.2 Courses on intelligent design have been taught at Minnesota, Georgia, New Mexico and Iowa State universities, along with Wake Forest and Carnegie Mellon*, not to mention Christian universities that teach all science through the prism of the Bible.
The museum is an illustration of the movement's marriage of primitive and intolerant beliefs with the modern tools of technology, mass communication, sophisticated fundraising and political organization. Totalitarian systems usually start as propagandistic movements that ostensibly teach people to "believe what they want." This is a ruse. This primacy of personal opinion, regardless of facts, destabilizes and destroys the primacy of all facts. This process leads inevitably to the big lie. Facts are useful only if they bolster the message. The use of mass-marketing techniques to persuade and convince, rather than brainwash, has led tens of millions of followers to accept the toxic totalitarian line by tricking them into believing it's their own. Ironically, at the outset the movement seemingly encourages people to think "independently" or "courageously."
At first all have, in the totalitarian belief system, a right to an opinion, or, in short, a right to believe anything. Soon, under the iron control of an empowered totalitarian movement, facts become worthless, kept or discarded according to an ideological litmus test. And once these movements achieve power, facts are ruthlessly manipulated or kept hidden to support the lie. Creationism is not about offering an alternative. Its goal is the destruction of the core values of the open society—the ability to think for oneself, to draw independent conclusions, to express dissent when judgment and common sense tell you something is wrong, to be self-critical, to challenge authority, to advocate for change and to accept that there are other views, different ways of being, that are morally and socially acceptable. We are beginning to see the growing intolerance that comes with the empowerment of these ideologues. There is a bill in the Texas Legislature to strip all mention of evolution from Texas school textbooks and institute mandatory Bible classes for all students. This is just the start.
And yet, coming from the modern age, these Christo-fascists cannot discount science. They employ jargon, methods and data that appear to be science, to make an argument for creationism. They have created parallel research and scholarly institutions. They pump out articles in self-published journals to provide "evidence" that homosexuals can be cured, that global warming is a myth, that abortion can cause breast cancer, that something they call "post-abortion syndrome" leads to deep depression and suicide and that abstinence-only education is an effective form of birth control. This pseudo-science has seeped into the public debate. It is disseminated by nervous and timid media anxious to give both sides in every argument. Those who have contempt for facts and truth, for honest research and inquiry, are given the same platform by the press as those who deal in a world of reality, fact and rationality.
The movement desperately needs the imprint of science to legitimize itself. It achieves this imprint by discrediting real science and claiming creationist science as true science. All attempts to argue the creationists out of their mythical belief, to persuade them with logic, evidence, scientific inquiry and fact, will fail. They have created a "fundamentalist science." They know they cannot return to the pre-Darwinian innocence that let them believe the Bible alone was enough. They need, in the midst of their flight from reality, to reassure their followers that science, science not contaminated by secular humanists and nonbelievers, is on their side. In this they are a distinctly modern movement. They seek the imprint of science and scholarship to legitimize myth. This is a characteristic they share with all modern totalitarian movements, which co-opt the disciplines of law, science, medicine and scholarship to give a modern veneer to their primitive and superstitious belief systems, systems that allow the rulers to dictate reality and truth. The "paraprofessional" organizations formed by the Christian right, organizations of teachers, journalists, doctors, lawyers and scientists, mimic the activities of real professional groups. They seek to challenge the legitimacy and the power of the traditional organizations. The duplication of the structures and methods employed by the non-totalitarian world, the use of pseudo-science to dress up fantasy, is slowly undermining our legitimate scientific and educational institutions. It is destroying the foundations of our open society. It is ushering us into a world where lies are true.
* Correction: A representative of Carnegie Mellon University states "Carnegie Mellon University does not teach a course on intelligent design. The contemporary issue of intelligent design is sometimes raised in discourse in courses such as Christianity and Science: A Multidisciplinary Approach. This fulfills an elective in the religious studies minor."

Re: 68356 by Ernest Canning
This guy Earnest Canning is not only a fool, but an admitted liar as well! Who, for some unfathomable purpose sees fit to make uncalled for, lying assertions and snide remarks while defending and promoting a couple of religious fanatics against the barbs I cast at their 'fallacious' 'Godism'. Although he readily admits to some of his bigoted debasing lies, he fails to account for his failure to know the facts before sinking to the level of a snake and casting his uncalled for aspersions. And, in his effort to cast a 'smokescreen' to minimize the extent of his egregiousness, he resorts to more uncalled for malicious remarks hoping no doubt, that others may be influenced to side with him and overlook his horrible bigotry. And, when I, 'naturally' took offense at his admitted unwarranted derogatory remarks, as any sensible person would, and asked: "Is it your custom to start by inserting your nose where it doesn't belong! while emulating those you see fit to congratulate for doing the very same!, i.e., totally avoiding the SUBJECT at hand."
And then, 'Earnest Canning' says: " It is my profound hope that all Truthdig readers stop responding to Jim"
NOW! JUST 'WHO' THINKS HE OWNS Truthdig?
No one takes offense at properly expressed criticism that is not whimsical, vicious, or 'bitchy'. But when one goes 'out on a limb' to be unnecessarily crude to the point of obscenity with lying innuendo, that person, 'must be called to account'!

We have Don Imus calling people ho's, bitches, and the "n-word." We have Rosey O'Donald saying the U.S. Government was complicit in the 9/11 attack. We have rap "artists" denigrating women in the most vile fashion and so-called Afro-American leaders defending them. We have a 70% un-wed mother incidence in the Afro-American community. We have meth labs, cokeheads, and alcoholism. We have failing schools and a 50 percent divorce rate. And Hedges thinks he needs the attack the Christian community? I've got news for you, Chris. Christianity is the answer, not the problem. Too bad you didn't learn that at Yale or wherever you were hatched.You're another sad example of an educated fool. But hey, it sells books doesn't it. If you can't make it with the NY Slimes, writea book, any book. It worked for Michael Moore and Al Franken, those paragons of personal integrity, so I'm sure you'll succeed too. Whatever the faults of the "Christian Right," I greatly prefer it over the excesses of the secular left, as do those you attack. Adversity makes us stronger, so heap it on, dude. I'm eagerly anticipating the release of your next book, "Falwell, Kennedy, and Dobson and the 9/11 Conspiracy."

Furthermore, there are some imberciles, of which you have here committed to being one, who have the audacity to pressume that because someone knows such things as "God" Mickey mouse, Donald Duck, Jimminy Cicket, Flash Gordon, The Old Lady Who Lived In A Shoe, Santa Clause, and "Jesus Christ" are all make believe fairytales, this knowledge, and refusal to accept any one of these as factual, and does not believe in a so called "Creator God" this makes him the member of some other sort of "doctrine" which some refer to as "atheism"!
But, some of you idiots finding it impossible to accept the fact that there are (sensible) people who do not share your idiocy, or see a need for a special identity to designate non-believers, and, not wanting to face the fact that anyone could possibly be a non-believer and be inelligent, and not wanting to spread the idea of non-belief by repeating the term, they instead came up with the idea of calling ALL non-believers "atheists" and then insisting that it too is a "DOCTRINE", when in fact, this is just another lie.

Secular Humanism is a way of thinking and living that aims to bring out the BEST in people so that all people can have the best in life. Secular humanists reject supernatural and authoritarian beliefs. They affirm that we must take responsibility for our own lives and the communities and world in which we live. Secular humanism emphasizes REASON and scientific inquiry, individual freedom and RESPONSIBILITY, human VALUES and COMPASSION, and the need for TOLERANCE and COOPERATION.

David and Mrs. Humphrey may be representing the same religious cult in the Florida area. They are both starting to cultivate the same crop of fairy-tales. One can read Alice in Wonderland 100 times and it is still a fairy-tale. I was indoctrinated into the Old and the New Testament 60-plus years ago. They contain so many contradictions and if some is true, it is obvious that religion represents the worst of mankind. The older I get, and the more I read, I realize religion prevents mankind from evolving at the pace that evolution naturally provides. I am and have been an avid reader of science, biology, history and technology books and magazines since the age of 10. I dont read fiction and am not about to re-start.
I know a woman that sounds exactly like Mrs. Humphrey. Jesus also walks with her and talks to her. Ask any faithful church-goer that knows her and they will tell you she is a mean self-centered individual that has lost all her friends and relatives. Most reasonable educated people that profess to believe in god realize that religion is useful as a social and family event. Obviously, they dont follow all the practices dictated by the bible and their religious leader.

Thought for the day:
A day without God in ones heart - is one day closer to the end of life.
I have been without Jesus and am now walking with Jesus. The difference is more profound than living in a 3rd world country starving to death to living in a mansion in Beverly Hills with servants and billions of dollars in income.
The lies of the world were revealed to me through scripture. I am now a rebel of this earth and will remain so until my death occurs.
What will you do until your death occurs? What will you do after it occurs? You may plan for retirement, but you may never make it that long. You may even plan your dinner menu, but who know you may be dead by then too. You may not plan your after death and once it happens will realize it was the only thing you needed to plan for after all. How long you will live is an always an assumption.
It started with a faith the size of a mustard seed.
Peace be with you. May love surround your life and open paths and visions for you.

Have you not yet "evolved" completely, to carry out a friendly debate with someone you fear my be as or more intelligent as yourself. Please see if you can answer without using word's like imbecile, bigot, slime. But that is what you believe that we, as one celled ameba's, crawled out of some gooey slime after some huge explosion.

To all theists:
You should read all of Darwins books before making any more un-verifiable statements about a superior being. Evolution is what has made all of us superior to what we were tens-of-thousands years ago. Mankind was unable to either read or write. The only tools and weapons were sticks and stones. The only recorded history is paintings on the walls of caves and firepit artifacts.
Mankind will certainly become extinct if we continue to believe an invisible superior being will help us resolve all our worldly problems.

Greetings Jim H.
Some people claim that Jesus Christ never existed. Allegedly the life of Jesus and the Gospel are merely myths fabricated by the Church. This claim rests mainly upon their belief that there is no historical record of Jesus.
This lack of secular reports should not be too surprising for modern Christians. First, only a small fraction of the written records survived those twenty centuries. Secondly, there were few, if any, journalists in Palestine during the time of Jesus. Thirdly, the Romans saw the Jewish people as merely one of many ethnic groups that needed to be tolerated. The Romans held the Jewish people in low regard. Finally the Jewish leaders were also eager to forget about Jesus. Secular writers only took notice after Christianity became popular and began to disturb their lifestyle.
Even though early secular reports on Jesus may have been rare, there are still a few surviving references to Him. Not too surprisingly, the earliest non-Christian reports were made by the Jews. Flavius Josephus, who lived until 98 A.D., was a romanized Jewish historian. He wrote books on Jewish history for the Roman people. In his book, Jewish Antiquities, he made references to Jesus. In one reference he wrote:
About this time arose Jesus, a wise man, who did good deeds and whose virtues were recognized. And many Jews and people of other nations became his disciples. Pilate condemned him to be crucified and to die. However, those who became his disciples preached his doctrine. They related that he had appeared to them three days after his crucifixion and that he was alive. Perhaps he was the Messiah in connection with whom the prophets foretold wonders. [Josephus, Jewish Antiquities, XVIII 3.2]
Even though several different forms of this particular text have survived through the twenty centuries, they all agree with the above cited version. This version is considered to be the closest to the original - the least suspected of Christian text-tampering. Elsewhere in this book, Josephus also reported the execution of St. John the Baptist [XVIII 5.2] and St. James the Just [XX 9.1], even referring to James as "the brother of Jesus who was called Christ." It should be noted that the past tense in the clause, "Jesus who was called Christ," argues against Christian text-tampering since a Christian would prefer to writeinstead, "Jesus who is called Christ."
Another Jewish source, the Talmud, makes several historical references to Jesus. According to the American Heritage Dictionary, the Talmud is "the collection of ancient Rabbinic writings consisting of the Mishnah and the Gemara, constituting the basis of religious authority for traditional Judaism." Although not explicitly referred to by name, later rabbis identify the person as Jesus. These references to Jesus are neither sympathetic to Him or His Church. Also these writings were preserved through the centuries by Jews, so Christians cannot be accused of tampering with the text.
The Talmud makes note of Jesus' miracles. No attempt is made to deny them, but it ascribes them to magical arts from Egypt. Also His crucifixion is dated as "on the eve of the Feast of the Passover" in agreement with the Gospel (Luke 22:1ff; John 19:31ff). Similar again to the Gospel (Matt. 27:51), the Talmud records the earthquake and the tearing in two of the Temple curtain during the time of Jesus' death. Josephus in his book, The Jewish War, also confirmed these events.

You make the same assumptions that all other theists do. That being atheists hate all others that dont look or think like they do. You obviously dont know me. I have worked with people of many ethnic backgrounds. I have no hatred for anyone that is willing to accept me for my admittedly human flaws. I was baptized and confirmed in a christian faith. I lost that faith once I relaized that most followers of a religious faith are also those that carry the most hatred in their heart to their fellow man. Many church leaders such as ministers and priests are the worst type of pedophiles. A just and righteous god should never allow that type of punishment to an innocent child.
You completely miss the point that I was trying to make. That being that the rich and powerfull in this world are taking advantage of your UNQUESTIONING FAITH, which makes you their pawn to carry out their goal of complete domination of the poor and poorly educated. I don't feel any hatred for you; only pity. I am also concerned about how much influence you may have on those near and dear to you.

Humphrey is a prime example of the type of person religious leaders entice into their flock (or there is no need to entice if that person was imprinted with religion from infancy). The Humpphreys of the world don't want to know what is happening in the world. They believe god will look out for them. This gives those people with power and money complete freedom to steal the Humphreys blind. Fortunately, it is a win-win situation for both factors. The poor believe they will inherit the kingdom of heaven, and the powered rich already have it on earth. As the old adage states: There is a sucker born every second.

Dumbutt Hanley,
Now that we have that monumentally important issue out of the way, deal with the issue, or did you forget in your frenzy that there was one? You claimed the notion of God arose by means of "palaver." First you said it was non-written palaver; then you implicitly admitted that non-written palaver was not credible evidence by accepting my argument and attempting to turn it around on me. Were you being honest or dishonest? In any event, you haven't proven your case rationally. On the contrary, you weaken it everytime you go into a psychotic rage and use your favorite argument, the ad hominem. You simply discredit yourself and your claims. I'm delighted to continue to assist you in your attempt to make a total fool of yourself.
BTW: I said nothing about how the idea of God arose. Therefore, the fact that you are discredited has no bearing whatsover on my reasons for believing he does exist. It should be obvious I don't accept your account anyway. I never made the argument that he arose by palaver. You did and you are discredited. You like that old strawman argument, eh? Try it on someone your own hatsize.

Imagine this:
God tells me to writea check to someone for a lot of money. He tells me who to make it out to and for how much. He tells me where I can find this person. He gives me questions to ask this person about a child of theirs. The answer is "my daughter is okay, but my medical insurance will not allow anymore tests to find out what is wrong with her". I reach into my pocket and pull out a check and to his surprise it is money for the medical tests. Hmmmmm. Imagine because it happened to me. No lie.
Imagine this:
Imagine this:
Imagine this:
Now you can tell yourself that I'm lying - but I know I'm not. You see I have nothing to gain. Not pride, not money, not fame, not anything. However, my story is true. Those who know me have witnessed these things - and believe me there are more stories than this!
Imagine you know God. You walk with Him and talk with Him every day. Imagine really hard, because if you decide to accept Him as your king too, you will see what I'm telling you is the truth.
So maybe you can see why some of us realize that God did create the earth as well as human beings, animals, etc. etc. etc. It's not hard for us to imagine at all. Because God has made himself real within in our lives.
Blessings to all:

Ah, the Celts! (Hemi #63514) Since time immemorial your people are reknowned the world 'round for bringing to the Song 'n' Dance of Life Herownself some of the deepest yet most uplifting music and movement anywhere to be found….and the pure poetry of your native tongue. You're our kindred spirits from long ages before some prowling privateer ever dreamt-up this "North America" dodge….and started the horrors of that nightmare stampeding across Indian country.
Sure, and isn't Turtle Island where we actually live, after all? That other's no more than mere words on a map….one on which the western cross-hatchings in particular resemble nothing else on Earth so much as the square-miles of feedlots all over "Kansas," "Colorado," "Texas," "Nebraska," etc. Much better to keep ones feet on the firm ground that has nurtured our kind these ten thousand generations, than to be caught-out in some make-believe realm where the imaginary boundaries serve only to "license" what is nothing but rape, robbery, and murder disguised as "manifest destiny"....or, most recently, "a new american century."
Hemi is welcome anytime to bring the gift of his gab and the lilt of his laughter into the lodges of the ickche wichasha….as one of our own, really, how could he not be. Until then, this Indian wishes him well wherever the call of his heartsong may carry him.

Dumbo hanley,
First you insist that "palaver" is unwritten communication. I point out that that undermines your argument, and you then abandon your previous position, because you think you can use my own argument to undermine a statement I never made. Not exactly the kind of legerdemain that's ready for prime time, dude.
Second, I never said a word about God, Jesus, the CookieMonster, or your mama. So, all your psychotic raving is…well…kinda pathetic. I do have my opinions but learned long ago not to cast pearls before swine. No, I just set back and wait for fools to spout off, so I can pick them off. Now run along back to mama. Your snotty nose needs a good wiping.

Dear TAO,
Not hidden at all, I'm right here with you on "Turtle Island". Don't want to join the feedlot crew and call it the North American continent? So be it.
Thank you for the amigo status. It is amigo. Hemi is the shorthand for what my amigos call this old Celt. (Nothing to do with petrol guzzling motor cars.) The "thicket of verbiage" and "fevered imagination" comments are much appreciated. Worthy praise from one of the "free wild natural peoples". That's one of the "gifts" handed down through my people.
You've posted some provocative thoughts, I thank you. This string has come 'round and 'round. I will move on and wish you the best. We'll do this again.

Dimbo hanley,
No, I don't agree I avoided the "subject of this venue" (emphasis deleted). The real subject is truth, Hence the name "Truthdig." Truth is not a matter of personal opinion, as you seem to prefer. It requires digging to find it. In this context, that means backing up what you say with credible sources. You have done nothing of the sort. Sorry, but I'm gonna have to block you.
Now, re "palaver," palaver is sound waves, here and gone. Anything that isn't written down isn't citable as a verbal source, especially when it supposedly occurred millennia ago. Imagine yourself in a court of law. You are asked by the prosecutor how you know the idea of God originated among prehistoric whatevers. You say, "By means of palaver. It was passed down over 500 generations from one whatsit to the next." Prosecutor says, "Objection, hearsay." Judge says, "Sustained times 500."
If you have any credible evidence for your assertions, cite them. That means provide references to expert testimony, i.e., recognized authorities in their field. Otherwise, get your dumb butt out of my court or I'll find you in contempt.

"They also reveal that beneath the veneer of blase cynicism each affects here is the same fear-engendered misery inflicting all the domesticated peoples. They do this by inferring insistently that us surviving free wild natural human beings (even if we really exist, which they doubt) cant possibly have a view of their world IN rather than simply AS context….since to admit such a thing is to admit that they are miserable (even in the midst of all their material splendor) unnecessarily."

TAO Walker,
"The real gist" of my argument is that you know nothing of my "misery" because it doesn't exist. I am proud of Western civilization, despite its warts. You, I take it, are proud of yours, despite its warts. I intend to defend my values with all means at my disposal, proudly and with no apology to anyone. Specifically, I mean capitalism, democracy, and the Christian religion. Maybe you should get off the rez more often, because the sad, disintegrating world you like to describe does not exist for me. There are goals to achieve, not institutions to abolish. You, sadly, wear glasses tinted with Marxism. That dreck didn't work in Europe, where it originated, and it doesn't work in the U.S., where it never could have been born. You've got all the answers but no one is asking you any questions. Ticks you off a bit, I guess. Well, roll 'em up and smoke 'em in your peace pipe. And keep those blue pseudes brushed up. Someone might want to do a remake of "Flaming Star," and you'd be just the guy for Elvis' part.

Dim Hanley,
"Why are you so gullible as to accept the palaver of prehistoric charlatan hominids who used every scheme, artifice, lure, ruse and stratagem to enrapture, captivate and subjugate simple people for the purpose of enslaving them? That is where all the 'God Talk' and 'Jesus Talk'derives from!"
If they were prehistoric, that means that didn't know how to write, so they couldn't transmit their "palaver" down to us over the ages. There's no way you have a clue what their agenda or strategy was. Furthermore, there's no way to know that the "God talk" and "Jesus talk" supported the "prehistoric charlatan hominids" in their attempt to enslave people14. Look up gullible in the dictionary. You'll find your picture.
BTW: ditch all the verbal histrionics. They impress no one and make you sound like a junior high brat. You are one, aren't you?

My, you do love the sound of your own voice, but I'm not buying it. You clearly consider yourself some kind of sage, one who has figured out the cause and solution to world's problems. It is, of course, entirely coincidental that you arose in the place you did, i.e., on the "rez." Nothing at all in your native circumstance influenced you to value being a "wild Indian" vs. a victim of degenerate Western civilization. No, I'm afraid it isn't possible to say where your bias ends and your sagacity begins. Like everyone else, you are a product of where you came from. To value that is normal. To assume those from a different culture are doomed and deluded is racism. You are guilty as charged. No amount of turgid, pretentious prose can disguise that.

Hey TAO Walker,
Very insightful. It's mind boggling how connected to the "invaders" the remnants of the "basic minimal complement of human beings" on Turtle Island seem to be. My "domesticated, confused almost to extinction" mind tells me you are communicating to us either through the spirit realm or have intimate knowledge of our "electro-mechanical gadgetry". If I had to bet the reservation, I think you have a computer.
It was very neighborly to invite Velma "to come walk awhile in our moccasins". Something tells me those moccasins have gel inserts.
You talk a great game but can't seem to get enough of the "invaders". The "natural organic function of humanity within the living body of Earth" is a lovely story. They're all lovely stories. You are not above the fray. Your ancestors were "invaders" to the continent first, congratulations. Face it, go back far enough, across a couple of land bridges and back thousands of years and even the Mayans were "invaders". Conveniently they had a word for them when the "invaders" showed up.
As Bill Murray's character said in the movie Stripes, "Lighten up Francis!" Sorry, silly reference. I forgot you aren't tied to our "electro-mechanical gadgetry". My bad.
By TAO Walker, April 5, 2007 at 7:49 pm Link to this comment
Humanity, as such, is a vital component in Earth's
The natural organic form of humanity is called, in the Lakota language, "tiyoshpaye." It is that basic minimal complement of human beings able to engage with its environment beneficially (beneficial, that is, to the whole living arrangement, not only to itself) and sustainably, and through intercourse with others of its kind to propagate healthily over many generations. There is no equivalent word in English, though the thoroughly (in these latter days) corrupted "community" once came almost within spittin' distance.
The instigators here of that ruthless process for domesticating human beings (thereby rendering them into manageable herds of tame two-legged livestock, called euphemistically "individuals") did it for the same reasons their early human victims inflicted the same inferior condition on others of our native relatives….a captive food supply and slave work-force. That all now caught-up in this vicious cycle of institutionalized degradation, including those self-deluded "masters of the universe" supposing theirselves to be "at the top of the food-chain," are in actual fact in a death-spiral nearing its pre-ordained climax, is easily seen from outside the self-contained system itself.
For those trapped inside it is an altogether different story. Sealed-off from the rest of the Living Universe, their instinctive sense of imminent catastrophe shows-up in the form of "wars on terror" and "horror flicks" and the mass consumption of canned entertainment, soporific or speed-freaky ideologies, and pharmaceutical crutches of all kinds. The Musak and drugs, at least, are prominent features of commercial feedlot and factory-farm operations, also.
The sophomoric sarcasm velma kelly resorts to here is another symptom of severe stress from constant exposure to the usages of organized repression and exploitation….by forces and agencies, and by means and methods, mostly concealed from its hapless subjects. This Indian's choice-of-words is entirely descriptive, and in no way intended to "dramatize" a situation already more than sufficiently compelling in its lethal content and dire implications.
Finally, it is the free wild natural peoples, here on Turtle Island us Indians, who are the only real friends velma kelly and her fella and gal inmates have got "on the outside" of that death-cult contraption most all of 'em are kept convinced is the only "world" there is. They are all welcome anytime to come walk awhile in our moccasins.

'Fault In Our Stars' Edges Out 'Tomorrow' At Box Office
The Fault in Our Stars had a near-flawless opening this weekend, stunning analysts with a No. 1 debut that clobbered Tom Cruise's latest and underscored moviegoers' appetite for female-driven films. Stars collected $48.2 million, The debut smashed expectations, which hovered around $35 million for the young-adult novel adaptation. By the time it hit theaters, the $12 million movie had plenty of momentum to crush Cruise's $178 million sci-fi spectacular Edge of Tomorrow, which settled for third place and $29.1 million.

Weider Nutrition Arginine X-Plode - 500gr
Delivery timeDelivery 3-4 working daysLess than 5 available
Characteristics Weider Nutrition Arginine X-Plode - 500gr
Weider Arginine X-Plode is a drink powder with a high L-Arginine content to increase muscle pump and vascularity.
Arginine X-Plode expands blood vessels, which supply muscle tissue with nutrients, increasing blood flow through the muscles and considerably boosting muscle contraction during workouts.
The combination with L-Ornithine tops up your body's own arginine reserves so that the free L-Arginine can take maximum effect. Lysine ensures that arginine circulates in the blood for longer and dilates the blood vessels more effectively. The addition of tyrosine improves your ability to concentrate during training so that you can train to your full potential for the duration of your workout.
Arginine X-Plode contains alginic acid, a phase transfer catalyst (PTK), to improve the muscles' ability to absorb oxygen.
Supplementing your workout with Arginine X-Plode will improve the efficacy of your post-workout nutrition because the additional nutrients can be absorbed by the muscles more effectively.
· Increases muscle pump
· Improves blood flow andsupplies muscles with nutrients
· Increases vascularity

Joomla: XML Gateway API integration
This project received 2 bids from talented freelancers with an average bid price of $175 USD.Get free quotes for a project like this
Project Budget$30 - $250 USD
Total Bids2
Project Description
The XML gateway API is a programming interface that resides on transaction servers which communicate directly to credit card processing networks. The programming interface requires that the freelancer be sufficiently knowledgeable in programming skills in any programming or object oriented scripting language.
The XML Gateway API accepts the card purchasers information, including credit card information, billing address, total charge amount and order id and produces an authorization or decline directly from the merchant bank.
The information is passed via 128bit SSL https post in XML format. That post occurs in the background from our server. Thus the purchaser never leaves our website. The authorization information is returned in XML format with full error trapping and reporting to indicate the success or failure of the transaction.
we will provide the much deeper guidelines and documentation. this project involves developing the already developed Joomla template!
you can access the template at: [url removed, login to view]
backend panel: [url removed, login to view]
Username: GoldUser
Password: ThacR6Su
Operational process:
1. The our website produces the XML with all the required information depending on the operation type and performs an https (silent POST) to the gateway transaction servers.
2. The gateway's transaction servers determine the operation type and execute it.
3. Once the correct operation is carried out, the gateway assembles the response in XML.
4. The gateway's transactions servers send the XML response to the merchant's web or transaction
servers indicating a success, failure or error.
5. Our server parses the XML and notifies the customer or user of a successful request, failure or

does anyone know how to grab the 'button click' feed from a usb webcam? i'm assuming it's some type of usb parsing, but i can't find any reference. would there need to be an object written for each particular webcam, or does anyone know of a generic usb input parsing object?? thanks

Here's what I see in about:memory:
> 1.70 MB (00.44%) ++ compartment([System Principal], chrome://adblockplu
> 1.58 MB (00.41%) ++ compartment([System Principal], resource:///modules
> 0.94 MB (00.24%) ++ compartment([System Principal], chrome://browser/co
> 0.87 MB (00.23%) ++ compartment([System Principal], resource://gre/modu
> 0.79 MB (00.21%) ++ compartment([System Principal], resource://gre/modu
> 0.77 MB (00.20%) ++ compartment([System Principal], about:newtab)
> 0.61 MB (00.16%) ++ compartment([System Principal], jar:file:///home/jl
It would be helpful to be able to see more of the compartment's name in non-verbose mode.
We can increase the width of about:memory in a separate bug, but for here: There's no need to say [System Principal] for these compartments. All the URIs have special schemes indicating that they're not web content.
Can we just get rid of [System Principal]?
Ouch, this is much worse after we landed bug 757299, because now you can't hover over one of these compartments to get the full compartment URI.
Maybe we should back that out.

Review of attachment 627923 [details] [diff] [review]:
I like having system compartments easily identifiable. Literally five minutes ago I was grepping through about:memory?verbose for "System Principal" while looking at bug 756261.
We could do something like replacing "[System Principal]" with "sys" when it's present... that would require exposing SYSTEM_PRINCIPAL_SPEC from caps/src/nsSystemPrincipal.cpp to js/xpconnect/src/XPCJSRuntime.cpp. Hmm, that's a bit ugly.
How about this instead: replace "compartment(...)" with "user-compartment(...)" or "system-compartment(...)" as appropriate? That's a win (in terms of width) for System Principal compartments, but a loss for user compartments... maybe keep "compartment(...)" for user compartments?
system-compartment and compartment sounds good to me.
(In reply to Andrew McCreight [:mccr8] from comment #4)
> system-compartment and compartment sounds good to me.
Sounds good to me as well!
And the nice thing about "system-compartment" is that it won't show up in about:compartments, which is good because about:compartments already segregates system compartments.
Bonus points if you can separately identify add-on compartments using the instructions in http://blog.mozilla.org/nnethercote/2012/05/30/memshrink-progress-week-49-50/#comment-6392 :)
I don't think we need to fix this anymore because we recently made non-verbose about:memory expand to the full width of the browser window.

Tami Lynn Biography (Wikipedia)
Tami Lynn (born 1942, Gert Town, New Orleans, Louisiana, United States) is an American soul singer. She scored a Top Ten hit on the UK Singles Chart in 1971, with the song "I'm Gonna Run Away From You".
Lynn was discovered by Jerry Wexler in 1965 after hearing her sing at a talent show. Wexler had her record the Bert Berns penned and produced song, "I'm Gonna Run Away From You", for Atco Records, but the song was not released at the time, although it was released in the UK on Atlantic, AT 4035. She then sang backup for musicians such as The Rolling Stones (backing vocalist on Exile on Main St.), Dr. John, Wilson Pickett, and Sonny & Cher. In 1971, "I'm Gonna Run Away From You" was released as a single, with "The Boy Next Door" as the b-side, on Mojo and Atlantic, where it became a hit in the UK among devotees of Northern soul. The tune hit number 4 in the UK Singles Chart in 1971. A full-length album, Love Is Here and Now You're Gone, followed in 1972, produced by John Abbey. "I'm Gonna Run Away From You" returned to the UK chart in 1975 after being reissued, hitting number 36 the second time around.

When Susan Axelrod tells the story of her daughter, she begins like most parents of children with epilepsy: The baby was adorable, healthy, perfect. Lauren arrived in June 1981, a treasured first-born.
Susan Landau had married David Axelrod in 1979, and they lived in Chicago, where Susan pursued an MBA at the University of Chicago and David worked as a political reporter for the Chicago Tribune. (He later would become chief strategist for Barack Obama's Presidential campaign and now is a senior White House adviser.) They were busy and happy. Susan attended classes while her mother babysat. Then, when Lauren was 7 months old, their lives changed overnight.
"She had a cold," Susan tells me as we huddle in the warmth of a coffee shop in Washington, D.C., on a day of sleet and rain. Susan is 55, fine-boned, lovely, and fit. She has light-blue eyes, a runner's tan, and a casual fall of silver and ash-blond hair. When her voice trembles or tears threaten, she lifts her chin and pushes on.

The 2005 Cherry Red (a blend of 64% Zinfandel, 28% Mourvedre, and the rest Syrah) offers plenty of Allspice, black raspberry, cherry, and currant notes in a medium to full-bodied, deep, chewy style with loads of fruit flavors intermixed with earth and spice. Consume this beauty over the next 5-7 years.

In a follow up story to one of our earlier blogs, New Jersey's Collaborative Law Act passed the Senate unanimously on June 26, 2014. New Jersey will be the eighth state to have enacted collaborative divorce legislation once Governor Christie signs the bill into law. This is major news to families in New Jersey who have legislation to address the newest alternative to the traditional courtroom approach. Collaborative divorce appeals to many divorcing couples as it provides a confidential, less costly and more peaceful method for couples obtaining a divorce.
Key provisions of the act, the Family Collaborative Law Act, S-1224, include: both parties must receive relevant information without having to resort to the process of formal discovery; all information and communications are to be kept confidential; and if the parties cannot come to an agreement, the parties must obtain new counsel who cannot be lawyers from the collaborative lawyers' firms.
Under the statute, the collaborative process ceases if one party gives notice; either party files a document that initiates a court proceeding without first obtaining the permission of the other party; either party is subject to or obtains a TRO (temporary restraining order) or a final restraining order under the Prevention of Domestic Violence Act; either party files a motion for emergent relief; a party fails to provide the information needed to resolve the dispute; or the collaborative lawyer withdraws from the process. Litigation remains an option if the collaborative divorce process fails to result in a divorce agreement.

Security is a hot topic today. Only a few years ago, security was on the back burner of most IT departments, seen as a necessary evil with few executives ever exposed to it. With the recent spate of high-profile attacks and ensuing losses, IT security is now viewed as the difference between an organization's ability to carry out its mission and going out of business. This is why security is a topic frequently appearing on board meeting agendas and piquing the interest of C-suite executives.
While funding and awareness have increased, it is unclear if organizations are making investments in keeping up with the evolving security landscape. A lot of the newly available funding and resources have been allocated to the existing funding gaps and "perceived" deficiencies in an organization's security posture. This is why IT security is a $58B market today but organizations are not any safer than they were a few years ago. In this slideshow, Shel Sharma, marketing manager at security startup Cyphort, discusses the evolution in the security landscape and how to align new security budgets and resources with this new paradigm vs. investing in more of the same old security.

Sennelier is pleased to introduce the newest evolution of its watercolor line.
Continuing its traditional color palette used by French Impressionist painters, Sennelier has now expanded the Sennelier Artists' Watercolor line to 98 colors to include more rich darks.
Additionally, Sennelier has increased the paint's honey content, lending it a smooth consistency and extraordinary luminosity. Honey helps the paint stay wet longer on the palette and makes it easier to reconstitute if it has already cured.
Although Sennelier still grinds each pigment and its medium on a granite surface to obtain extra-fine consistency, the entire Sennelier line has been updated to reflect 21st century advances in pigment composition, resulting in the lightfastness desired by today's painters.
Colors are available in two tube sizes — 10 ml (0.33 oz) and 21 ml (0.71 oz).
Metal Case, Set of 12 Tubes
For those who prefer moist watercolors, this metal case set contains 12, 10 ml tubes, including one each of Burnt Sienna, Ultramarine Deep, Phthalo Blue, Warm Sepia, Lemon Yellow, Sennelier Yellow Light, Sennelier Red, Opera Rose, French Vermilion, Payne's Grey, Phthalo Green Light, and Forest Green.
Test Pack, Set of 5
A great introduction to Sennelier's smooth, honey-based watercolors, this set of five includes Bright Red, Chinese Orange, Lemon Yellow, Payne's Grey, and Ultramarine Deep in 10 ml (0.33 oz) tubes. The tin measures 1½" × 5½" ×½".
Travel Set of 8 Tubes
Designed for adventure, this plastic travel case contains eight 10 ml tubes, including Burnt Sienna, Phthalo Blue, Sennelier Yellow Light, Sennelier Red, Opera Rose, Ivory Black, Phthalo Green Light, and Forest Green.
Color Chart Note — Use this color chart as an approximation of the real color. If exact color matching is necessary, use actual samples of the materials.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Rich colors at a great price
By Bass Mama
from Bad Axe, MI
I purchased a selection of 6 primaries (warms and cools) and Payne's Gray in the 21 mL tubes. I actually used them to fill some full pans that I have in a box and let them dry for easy portability. They hold well in the pans, the colors are rich and smooth and easy to activate after drying in the pans, and I expect that the 21 mL tubes (much better bargain than any other artist's colors in 14-15 mL tubes) will last me quite a while. I also like that the colors dry to a consistent finish, no matter if they're laid full-on or in a diluted wash.
Sennelier is the very best.
By Sparkie
from Chilliwack, BC Canada
I use Sennelier watercolours for 95% of my work and it is the very best to work with.1. It refreshens easily after idle for days.2. The colours are vibrant and true to colour. 3. The Sennelier company is willing to discuss a problem and solve it.4. Using honey as a basis will keep the watercolour pigment fresh for a very long time. 5. Sennelier is the only company with a 21 ml tube, best value.

This product was recommended by my art teacher. My only regret is that I did not learn of this paint earlier. It is one of the best watercolor paints I have used.
These are perhaps my favorite watecolors - in my top 3 brand
By Bella
from Dallas, TX
I will confess I am new to watercolor painting - been at it about a year. These aren't mentioned much by authors in books I've studies. I took a shot on one of them as I was trying out all kinds of paints - I went through their tube of Cerulean Blue first (large tube) and I decided to reorder it and added about 5 others. There is something about the quality of this paint - I would not say it is like Qor or that it flows out into the water as fast as some others - that's not it. I think perhaps the colors are richer or take on some different type of quality than other water colors and I enjoy the difference. It would take a watercolorist with experience to explain what that quality is - it is not luminosity or luster - perhaps more earthy? They give texture and a natural look that I do not see in others - I like having them in my arsenal of choices.
Great colors
By Lofty Leaves
from Atlanta
I love Sennelier. Vibrant colors and little separation.......unless you use the French ultramarine with other colors, then you have to stir constantly. For the most part, these colors are wonderful, but I would also try others. There are so many wonderful brands now. Paints are a personal thing. What one artist might like, another may not.
My favorite watercolour
By Carlos Ferrer
from Córdoba, Argentina
I can't say it's the best because I didn't try all brands, but so far, it's the best for me between all I tried
Very beautiful paints
By Alice
from Columbia,sc
After trying a few types of paint, I decided I really like the ones with honey added. They rewet perfectly and feel creamy during application. I've been eyeing the sennelier box set of 12 with bonus pans for a while but was reluctant. Blick offered a free tube of sennelier blue with a purchase of three more tubes of paint- so I thought it was a good way to try them out. I chose primary triad and permanent Aliz crimson ( all single pigments and no repeats in the set just in case I decided to commit). They are so much fun to work with. The colors are much more delicate than I'm used to but they layer like a dream. I think that is the greatest strength of these paints. There is an elegance about them and I haven't found a better paint for glazing. The prices are very reasonable too! I think that the next time I make another paint purchase I will be choosing the sennelier set. #sweepstakes
A must have
By ADK landscape
from Adirondack mountains of NY
Got the bright yellow green Sennellier wc. Just what I was looking for. It's bright, warm and keeps its brillance once dry. Anyone who loves landscape painting will find this color and brand to be a great addition to the pallet.
A stunning glimpse into the making of Sennelier L'Aquarelle, Honey Based Artists' Watercolor. Continuing its traditional color palette used by French Impressionist painters, Sennelier has now expanded the Sennelier Artists' Watercolor line to 98 colors to include more rich darks.

No Doubt
The Blondie of Generation X, No Doubt came out of Orange County in 1995 wielding elements of third-wave ska, surf punk and bubblegum pop like broadswords to decimate a music industry still mired in grunge. Soon, lead singer and pinup gal Gwen Stefani became a style icon for a whole generation of girls, making her trademark Hindu bindi dot as commonplace in junior highs as lip gloss. Her band's bubbly sound birthed a whole scene of happy pop-punks throwing horns and keyboards into their mix, with bands like Save Ferris sprouting up in nearly every suburb in America. Tragic Kingdom (1996) was and is No Doubt's definitive statement, yielding six radio singles and launching the band on an almost two-year world tour. Since then, the band has only released two studio albums, the New Wave-drenched Return of Saturn and dub-synth experiment Rock Steady. Stefani then went solo for two massively popular albums of glittery dance-pop, marrying the dude from Bush and birthing two boys. After getting reacquainted on this summer shed tour, No Doubt will head into the studio to record fresh material.
