The latest from Aquarius Papers. Always, always great reading.
Oh, poor Andrew.. Such obsessive love! Such denial! His mind must be akin to living in a terrifying bile factory.. Excerpts:An assistant attorney general for the state of Michigan has carried on a half-year-long campaign against the openly gay student assembly president of the University of Michigan. Among other actions targeting Chris Armstrong, Andrew Shirvell has posted images of Armstrong at a blog called Chris Armstrong watch and made a number of claims against Armstrong, including accusations that the young man has seduced fellow students in order to coax them into a "homosexual lifestyle," and that an orgy took place in Armstrong’s dorm room, reported CNN.com in a Sept. 29 article. Shirvell’s blog is maintained under the name "Concerned Michigan Alumnus," the article said.The CNN.com article included a clip from news program Anderson Cooper 360. Shirvell appeared on the program on Sept. 28 to explain why he had spent so much time and energy "protesting" the college student.Before broadcasting the interview, Cooper showed images taken from the blog, including one of Armstrong that had been written over with the word "Resign." A rainbow flag sporting a swastika had been added to the photo, with an arrow pointing from the flag to Armstrong. Cooper reported that the blog called Armstrong a "privileged pervert," and accused him of "sexual escapades at churches and children’s playgrounds." The blog also referred to Armstrong as a "Nazi-like recruiter for the cult that is homosexuality," and accused the young man of being "racist and elitist to the core."Here's the tell, babies..The Detroit News also reported on the rebuke in a Sept. 16 article. The story said that Shervill had taken exception to a comment about "self discovery" that Armstrong had made, interpreting the remark as an attempt to push fellow students into same-sex encounters. "It is clear that Armstrong’s remarks constituted nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to cause sexually confused, and perhaps some impressionable, 17- and 18-year-olds to experiment sexually with members of their own gender," Shervill’s blog charged. (Projection, anyone?)
The blog also characterized Armstrong as "a viciously militant homosexual activist," (Blaming the external object forinternal fears - me)the article said. The blog also mentioned protesting Armstrong at events. Anderson Cooper said that Shervill had gone so far as to stand outside Armstrong’s residence and take video footage. Cooper also reported that Shervill had monitored Armstrong’s Facebook page and written about Armstrong’s friends and family members.
Prior to the broadcast of his interview with Shervill, Cooper told viewers, "This is a public figure, a grown-up, fixating on a 21-year-old college student, dedicating a blog to vilifying him, scouring his Facebook page, making unproven allegations."And:"It appears, though, that you are obsessed with this young gay man," Cooper told Shirvell, before going on to cite the state of Michigan’s criminal code regarding cyber-stalking and cyber-bullying. Cooper asked Shirvell whether he fit the description of a cyber-bully, given the accusations he had posted online against Armstrong."No, I’m totally not--and that’s a totally mischaracterization," Shirvell responded. "Do you consider yourself a bigot?" Cooper asked."Absolutely not," Shirvell replied. "I’m a Christian citizen exercising my First Amendment rights. I have no problem with the fact that Chris is a homosexual," added Shirvell. "I have a problem with the fact that he is advancing a very radical agenda.""It seems like you hate this guy because he’s gay," Cooper said."Well, Anderson, that’s your spin on it," Shirvell replied. "The real bigot here is Chris Armstrong." (Again with the projection..)Shirvell went on to add, "He’s a political figure, Anderson." Shirvell cited his having graduated from the University of Michigan as a primary reason for his "protests" of Armstrong, telling Cooper, "I have a right as an alum and as a private citizen to criticize him in my after-hours work." (Weak, weakass excuse..)The opposite of Love is not Hate, but Indifference. Astrologically, Hate is more of a 90 degree angle to Love. A twisted, obsessive Square of energy, if you will. Shirvell's year and a half, Year And A Half (Whoops! Look below..)crusade against one gay man, via blog, attacks on friends and family, demonstrating close to his home and videotaping his every move clearly details his.. devotion, to Mr. Armstrong. It's all too much. There probably isn't one single moment, all day long, every SINGLE day, that Andrew Shrivell doesn't think about Chris Armstrong. Chris Armstrong consumes Andrew Shrivell's thoughts every moment, every minute, every day.. The demons involved here must be very powerful, indeed.. Whoops! I read a half year as a year and a half ! Still, a six month long "protest" is A While, not to mention busier(!) than my mistaken year and a half.. Brain fart: Sorry!
Israeli cyber unit responsible for Iran computer worm – claim Excerpts in italics:Computer experts have discovered a biblical reference embedded in the code of the computer worm that has pointed to Israel as the origin of the cyber attack. The code contains the word "myrtus", which is the Latin biological term for the myrtle tree. The Hebrew word for myrtle, Hadassah, was the birth name of Esther, the Jewish queen of Persia.In the Bible, The Book of Esther tells how the queen pre-empted an attack on the country's Jewish population and then persuaded her husband to launch an attack before being attacked themselves. Israel has threatened to launch a pre-emptive attack on Iran's facilities to ensure that the Islamic state does not gain the ability to threaten its existence. Ralf Langner, a German researcher, claims that Unit 8200, the signals intelligence arm of the Israeli defence forces, perpetrated the computer virus attack by infiltrating the software into the Bushehr nuclear power station Mr Langer said: "If you read the Bible you can make a guess."Israel threatened an attack, and an attack happened. Wouldn't it be more surprising if Israel didn't do it?
Like this guy, who decided to drive a dump truck at the Irish Parliment.. The Irish Times is not impressed. Excerpts in italics:
A 41-year-man was arrested this morning after a cement truck was driven into the gates of Leinster House.
The words 'Toxic Bank Anglo' were displayed on the cement mixing drum of the truck.
It appeared the driver escaped through a hatch on the roof before being arrested at about 7.15am.
The man is being questioned at Pearse Street Garda station under section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act 1984. No one was injured in the incident and minor damage was caused to the gates of Leinster House.
Recovery crews initially attempted to reverse the truck from the gates but it would not move. It is understood brake lines and electric cables had been cut.
Gardaí have now removed the truck from scene using a large recovery tow truck.
Kildare Street and Molesworth Street have now reopened to traffic.
Yawn. This was pure spectacle in Ireland, where they've definitely had worse attacks.
What if this had happened in D.C. or one of the other state capitols? Here's what: Non-stop media coverage, and the inevitable, televised rise and acceleration to visibility, power, and mass consciousness of the extremists that will further inject fear, anger, and instability into our national discourse. At this critical moment of history, when subtlety, nuance, diplomacy, and intelligence are so needed to navigate multiple domestic and international issues, humanity as a whole seems to be on an opposite path, almost taking pride of not knowing of or understanding any other worldview than its own. And yeah, I do believe it will happen here too, sooner probably, than later..
Try as I might, I just can't see too many positive outcome scenarios from the data presented..
Other than the price, what's up with gold?
Life on this Earth Just Changed …The North Atlantic Current is Gone… Excerpt in italics:The latest satellite data establishes that the North Atlantic Current (also called the North Atlantic Drift) no longer exists and along with it the Norway Current. These two warm water currents are actually part of the same system that has several names depending on where in the Atlantic Ocean it is. The entire system is a key part of the planet’s heat regulatory system; it is what keeps Ireland and the United Kingdom mostly ice free and the Scandinavia countries from being too cold; it is what keeps the entire world from another Ice Age. This Thermohaline Circulation System is now dead in places and dying in others.
Iran's nuclear agency battles computer worm that can bring down power plants. Excerpts in italics:
Iranian media reports said Friday that the country's nuclear agency is trying to combat a complex computer worm that has affected industrial sites in Iran and is capable of taking over power plants. The computer virus, which attacks a widely used industrial system, appears aimed mostly at Iran and its sophistication suggests a state may have been involved in creating it, Western cyber security companies said earlier in the day.This is but the first of many super-cyberweapons. What might the future hold? Entire national infrastructures can all be attacked, all simultaneously. This utter and complete destruction can be mirrored in multiple countries. Battles will be waged along fiber optic tubes and via satellite. "Targeted Destruction" might be en vogue now, but what about the future? Will this different means of warfare lead to new and different tactics? And, lest we forget, each new variation will be more deadly and sophisticated than its predecessor. Global, long-duration chaos could happen almost instantly. And we as a planet may never return to the level of advancement achieved just prior to this technological annihilation, not in our lifetimes. Welcome to the World of Tomorrow!
