Here’s an interesting video about a tiny light bulb (the size of a tic tac) putting out more light than a street light. Amazing to see it in action. I am wondering how they can contain any plasma that is at 6,000 degrees Kelvin.

I have found some quotes from Churchill concerning the telling of lies, and the having of enemies, that are worth knowing. Rather than put them in an ephemeral blog post, I put them on my quotes page. These quotes are particularly relevant to the attacks currently going on around the world against the religion of Scientology by the group calling itself anonymous. When masked picketers stage world-wide protests against your religion, you have to know your religion is doing great things!

More on the terrorist activities of the Anonymous group in the Injunction filed by the Church of Scientology asking for relief and to keep them 500 feet away from our buildings. When you get enough bomb threats (dozens of them recently) and when you get enough harrassing phone calls (thousands of them) and when people in your church have been shot (in my church, in Portland, 12 years ago) by wackos like these Anonymous creeps, you ought to be entitled to some protection under the law. We’ll see what the courts say.

And here is a newspaper article - from the …

My friend Klaus Hilgers passed away on February 28th 2008.

Klaus was an internationally renowned public speaker and seminarist who delivered seminars to tens of thousands, maybe hundreds of thousands, of people all over the world, over the last 25 years. He was the best public speaker I’ve ever seen, and could put together a seminar overnight on just about any subject.

He told the story of going to deliver one seminar many years ago, but when he got there and started delivering the subject he’d been asked to deliver to a group of about 20 people, they were very uncommunicative …

Well, this YouTube video about Anonymous ought to put a dent in their numbers. Anonymous = Hate Crimes & Terrorism Directed at Scientology. The sheer volume of crap these Anonymous cowards are creating is pretty revelatory of their intentions. Numerous bomb threats, thousands of harassing phone calls, vandalism and sending white powder to various Churches of Scientology by Anonymous show them to be true terrorists, not just cyber-terrorists any more.

My friends at CCHR report:

Connecticut is joining at least nine other states suing drug maker Eli Lilly and Co. over the antipsychotic drug Zyprexa.

Attorney General Richard Blumenthal says Connecticut’s lawsuit seeks to recover more than $190 million that that state’s medical assistance program spent on Zyprexa over more than a decade.

The lawsuit accuses Indianapolis-based Eli Lilly of running an illegal marketing campaign to promote Zyprexa for unapproved off-label uses, including treating children.

Blumenthal says the campaign also concealed risks associated with the drug, including diabetes, weight gain and cardiovascular problems.

A court in Alaska is currently hearing that …

This is a personal rebuttal to some websites I’ve seen from apostates recently that denigrated my religion with regard to raising children in Scientology. Here’s how I see this issue:

———-

My parents divorced when I was an infant, back in 1953. I grew up in a series of broken homes, attended 17 schools before graduating high school in 1970, and had 3 stepmoms and 7 step-dads at various times, as well as foster parents. I can remember living in 52 different houses in 6 states as a child. My parents were alcoholics, whose lives spun out of control in …

Over 50 years ago, the United Nations signed into law the “Universal Declaration of Human Rights,” and has been busily ignoring those rights ever since. God only knows how many millions of people have been massacred in China since the end of WW II, and how many people Stalin killed in his gulags and by purposefully starving entire populations. The 20th century may have seen more people murdered after WWII, killed by their own governments, than in both the World Wars and in the Great Influenza epidemic of 1918-1919, all put together.

Composer Neal Fox has created a Human Rights …

Little Cheyenne Delp was first taken by her foster mother (Sherri Mathis) to see a psychiatrist at 5 years of age. She left with prescriptions for three psych drugs for the child. By the time Cheyenne died a year later, apparently strangled to death by her foster mother in 2004, her psychiatrist had her taking *four* psych drugs.

Cheyenne’s foster mother is on trial for murder. Shouldn’t her psychiatrist also be on trial right along with her? That would be Dr. Saran Mudumbi, shown here testifying about how he kept changing around her drug cocktail, increasing the dosages for because for …

Antidepressants Hardly Help according to an article in Time Magazine. I rarely trust any information provided by what is usually the central mouthpiece for Big Pharma, and the trumpet of the AMA and APA, but in this case they seem to have let some actual science slip through in their reporting. Prozac, Effexor, Serzone, Paxil and Seroxat, the SSRI drugs, are basically about as effective as a placebo sugar pill for all except the most severely depressed. So why have 50 million people been taking these drugs worldwide? Because they drug companies only provide the POSITIVE results of their drug trials …
