Republican prosecutor from Florida caught in child sex sting

A federal prosecutor from Florida was ordered held in custody Monday after he appeared in U.S. District Court in Detroit on a charge that he flew to Detroit intending to have sex with a 5-year-old girl.

John David R. Atchison, 53, of Gulf Breeze, Fla., an assistant U.S. Attorney in Florida's northern district, is expected to appear again in court for a detention hearing today.


A federal prosecutor from Florida was ordered held in custody Monday after he appeared in U.S. District Court in Detroit on a charge that he flew to Detroit intending to have sex with a 5-year-old girl.

John David R. Atchison, 53, of Gulf Breeze, Fla., an assistant U.S. Attorney in Florida's northern district, is expected to appear again in court for a detention hearing on Tuesday.
He was caught in an Internet child sex sting run by the Macomb County Sheriff's Department and the FBI and arrested Sunday when he flew into Detroit Metropolitan Airport from Pensacola, Fla., according to a criminal complaint filed in federal court in Detroit.
A sheriff's deputy posed as a mother who was interested in finding someone to have sex with her children, in a sting that has already netted a California paramedic and numerous other alleged pedophiles from around the country.
According to the complaint, Atchison reassured the sheriff's deputy who was posing as the child's mother that he would not hurt the 5-year-old because he goes "slow and easy," and "I've done it plenty."

Most Americans believe the nation's founders wrote Christianity into the Constitution

 
 
 
Or the same people who still think:

33 Percent Still Thinks Saddam Attacked On 9-11


Most Americans believe the nation's founders wrote Christianity into
the Constitution, and people are less likely to say freedom to worship
covers religious groups they consider extreme, a poll out today finds.

The survey measuring attitudes toward freedom of religion, speech and
the press found that 55% believe erroneously that the Constitution
establishes a Christian nation. In the survey, which is conducted annually by the
First Amendment Center, a non-partisan educational group, three out of four
people who identify themselves as evangelical or Republican believe that the
Constitution establishes a Christian nation. About half of Democrats
and independents do.

ON THE WEB: Read the full poll results


Most respondents, 58%, say teachers in public schools should be allowed
to lead prayers. That is an increase from 2005, when 52% supported
teacher-led prayer in public schools.

More people, 43%, say public schools should be allowed to put on
Nativity re-enactments with Christian music than in 2005, when 36% did.

Half say teachers should be allowed to use the Bible as a factual text
in history class. That's down from 56% in 2000. Charles Haynes, a senior
scholar at the First Amendment Center, says the findings are
particularly troubling during a week when the top diplomat in Iraq gave a report to
Congress on progress toward achieving democracy there. "Americans are
dying to create a secular democracy in Iraq, and simultaneously a growing
number of people want to see a Christian state" here, he says.

Will Fredo Face "War Crimes"

 
 
Alberto Gonzales Attorney General. Gonzales warned George W. Bush that he faced the possibility of execution under the U.S. War Crimes Act for the "new interrogation procedures" and other "flexible measures" he had authorized for the "war on terror," Newsweek reports. He then aided him in circumventing the Geneva Convention and other laws. Gonzales and Rove have been involved with the White House firing of U.S. Attorneys and replacing them with attorneys that won't investigate Republicans. He perjured himself before congress with his testimony on this issue.

Robert Fisk: Even I question the 'truth' about 9/11

 

Each time I lecture abroad on the Middle East, there is always someone in the audience – just one – whom I call the "raver". Apologies here to all the men and women who come to my talks with bright and pertinent questions – often quite humbling ones for me as a journalist – and which show that they understand the Middle East tragedy a lot better than the journalists who report it. But the "raver" is real. He has turned up in corporeal form in Stockholm and in Oxford, in Sao Paulo and in Yerevan, in Cairo, in Los Angeles and, in female form, in Barcelona. No matter the country, there will always be a "raver".
His – or her – question goes like this. Why, if you believe you're a free journalist, don't you report what you really know about 9/11? Why don't you tell the truth – that the Bush administration (or the CIA or Mossad, you name it) blew up the twin towers? Why don't you reveal the secrets behind 9/11? The assumption in each case is that Fisk knows – that Fisk has an absolute concrete, copper-bottomed fact-filled desk containing final proof of what "all the world knows" (that usually is the phrase) – who destroyed the twin towers. Sometimes the "raver" is clearly distressed. One man in Cork screamed his question at me, and then – the moment I suggested that his version of the plot was a bit odd – left the hall, shouting abuse and kicking over chairs.
Usually, I have tried to tell the "truth"; that while there are unanswered questions about 9/11, I am the Middle East correspondent of The Independent, not the conspiracy correspondent; that I have quite enough real plots on my hands in Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Iran, the Gulf, etc, to worry about imaginary ones in Manhattan. My final argument – a clincher, in my view – is that the Bush administration has screwed up everything – militarily, politically diplomatically – it has tried to do in the Middle East; so how on earth could it successfully bring off the international crimes against humanity in the United States on 11 September 2001?
Well, I still hold to that view. Any military which can claim – as the Americans did two days ago – that al-Qa'ida is on the run is not capable of carrying out anything on the scale of 9/11. "We disrupted al-Qa'ida, causing them to run," Colonel David Sutherland said of the preposterously code-named "Operation Lightning Hammer" in Iraq's Diyala province. "Their fear of facing our forces proves the terrorists know there is no safe haven for them." And more of the same, all of it untrue.
Within hours, al-Qa'ida attacked Baquba in battalion strength and slaughtered all the local sheikhs who had thrown in their hand with the Americans. It reminds me of Vietnam, the war which George Bush watched from the skies over Texas – which may account for why he this week mixed up the end of the Vietnam war with the genocide in a different country called Cambodia, whose population was eventually rescued by the same Vietnamese whom Mr Bush's more courageous colleagues had been fighting all along.
But – here we go. I am increasingly troubled at the inconsistencies in the official narrative of 9/11. It's not just the obvious non sequiturs: where are the aircraft parts (engines, etc) from the attack on the Pentagon? Why have the officials involved in the United 93 flight (which crashed in Pennsylvania) been muzzled? Why did flight 93's debris spread over miles when it was supposed to have crashed in one piece in a field? Again, I'm not talking about the crazed "research" of David Icke's Alice in Wonderland and the World Trade Center Disaster – which should send any sane man back to reading the telephone directory.
I am talking about scientific issues. If it is true, for example, that kerosene burns at 820C under optimum conditions, how come the steel beams of the twin towers – whose melting point is supposed to be about 1,480C – would snap through at the same time? (They collapsed in 8.1 and 10 seconds.) What about the third tower – the so-called World Trade Centre Building 7 (or the Salmon Brothers Building) – which collapsed in 6.6 seconds in its own footprint at 5.20pm on 11 September? Why did it so neatly fall to the ground when no aircraft had hit it? The American National Institute of Standards and Technology was instructed to analyse the cause of the destruction of all three buildings. They have not yet reported on WTC 7. Two prominent American professors of mechanical engineering – very definitely not in the "raver" bracket – are now legally challenging the terms of reference of this final report on the grounds that it could be "fraudulent or deceptive".
Journalistically, there were many odd things about 9/11. Initial reports of reporters that they heard "explosions" in the towers – which could well have been the beams cracking – are easy to dismiss. Less so the report that the body of a female air crew member was found in a Manhattan street with her hands bound. OK, so let's claim that was just hearsay reporting at the time, just as the CIA's list of Arab suicide-hijackers, which included three men who were – and still are – very much alive and living in the Middle East, was an initial intelligence error.
But what about the weird letter allegedly written by Mohamed Atta, the Egyptian hijacker-murderer with the spooky face, whose "Islamic" advice to his gruesome comrades – released by the CIA – mystified every Muslim friend I know in the Middle East? Atta mentioned his family – which no Muslim, however ill-taught, would be likely to include in such a prayer. He reminds his comrades-in-murder to say the first Muslim prayer of the day and then goes on to quote from it. But no Muslim would need such a reminder – let alone expect the text of the "Fajr" prayer to be included in Atta's letter.
Let me repeat. I am not a conspiracy theorist. Spare me the ravers. Spare me the plots. But like everyone else, I would like to know the full story of 9/11, not least because it was the trigger for the whole lunatic, meretricious "war on terror" which has led us to disaster in Iraq and Afghanistan and in much of the Middle East. Bush's happily departed adviser Karl Rove once said that "we're an empire now – we create our own reality". True? At least tell us. It would stop people kicking over chairs.

How To Manifest Wealth

Many people talk or write about the science of success or the art of creating wealth. You don't want just the science. You don't want just the art. What you want is the technology. The how to.
 
Manifestation is not a mystery. It is a process. All processes can be analyzed, taken apart, step-by-step, and then, once understood, can be applied scientifically to produce the desired results.
 
There is a technique for manifesting anything, including wealth.
 
Scientists study the physical world in order to ascertain the metaphysical principles that apply to how things unfold in our universe. They theorize about how things that have happened did happen. A theory becomes accepted only when direct experiment proves that application produces a manifest reality.
Once the process (the unfolding) is understood and proven through application, science becomes technology. Technology is applied science. Power is applied knowledge. Knowledge, by itself, produces nothing, not even wisdom, let alone practical results. It is all in the application.
 
Where can you learn the right application? You can experiment to see if your personal theory will work or you can observe those whose experiments have produced the desired results and then utilize the same techniques, the same process.
 
The power to create or manifest wealth comes from applying the knowledge of the process of creation. The knowledge of the critical elements in a process do not create the process. It is the proper and purposeful use or application of the elements that produce the results.
I can tell you again that thought plus desire combined with belief plus intent create your results. You might completely understand and agree with that; but if you do not apply it, then it is useless knowledge, like books gathering dust on a library shelf.
 
The process of manifestation is:
it begins in the ideal (causal);
it moves into the virtual;
it becomes real;
it becomes manifest (effectual).
The elements of the idealization are: Thought, desire, belief, intent, commitment, insight.
The elements of the virtualization are: Visualization, affirmation, gratitude, congruity, planning.
The elements of the realization are: Your words and your deeds.
So now you know. Now you must apply your knowledge.
 
Idealize it: Think the right thoughts. Desire the result. Believe in the actuality. Intend for it to be. Commit to making it so. Understand what it will mean.
 
Virtualize it: See it as real. Affirm it to be. Be thankful for its existence. Harmonize yourself with it. Attract it. Plan for it to be.
 
Realize it: Speak the truth of it. Act to enact it.
Enjoy having it.
 
Want to be wealthy?
Think about wealth and abundance, NOT about lack and limitation.
Desire wealth; lust after it; don't just wish for it.
Believe in it and your right to it. Stop believing in scarcity. There is none. (When you have nothing, you have an abundance of nothing. When you have mediocrity, you have an abundance of mediocrity)
Clarify your intentions. What is your intent in thinking that thought, in doing that deed? Commit 100% to becoming wealthy.
Understand (gain insight into) what wealth is and what it means to you.
Visualize your wealth. See yourself as wealthy.
Be rich. Affirm to yourself and others that you are wealthy and that you deserve to be.
Be grateful for your abundance. Show your appreciation. Attract wealth by being worthy of it.
Plan. Set specific goals and follow your game plan.
Stay true to your ideals. Talk your truth and then walk the talk.
——————————————————————————–
Take some hints from the universe: It is constantly creating new space.
Why? To make room for more.
 
Make some space in your life for more to show up. Get rid of what you don't need. If those thoughts don't serve you—dump them. If those beliefs serve no useful purpose—junk them. If that activity is not producing wealth—stop it. Why exactly do you watch TV? Are you going to get wealthy watching who wants to be a millionaire? No.
You will get wealthy by applying the proven technology of wealth creation. Of course, only if you think so and only if you believe it.

Evidence for manifestation

Evidence for manifestation

As noted, the support for manifestation is largely anecdotal, but there are at least a couple of strands of more solid evidence. One is research on prayer, particularly healing prayer. The results are controversial, but there is some evidence for its effectiveness. A brief review by Dr Peter Fenwick, written in 2004, can be found on the website of the UK's Royal Society of Pyschiatrists.

A second area of relevant research concerns the production and effects of endorphins in the brain as described by William Bloom in The Endorphin Effect.  Endorphins are a family of natural opiates produced in the cells of all living things. They produce feelings of physical pleasure and well-being, kill pain, reduce tension, help wounds and diseased tissue to heal, and boost the immune system. It has been scientifically demonstrated that positive feelings and thoughts increase production of endorphins, thus making us feel good, reducing our stress and improving our physical, psychological and emotional health. Because we feel better our behaviour changes, and we become better at handling life's challenges, envisaging what we want and achieving our goals. Sound familiar? From here, William develops practical exercises for boosting a positive frame of mind and endorphin production.

The other evidence for manifestation that I am aware of is all anecdotal or comes from personal experience and must be treated with caution. People are naturally more inclined to tell of their successes than their failures, thus potentially giving a false impression of the success rate. But, as philosopher Dale Jamieson was quoted in New Scientist as saying in a different context: "The evidence of a single anecdote may not be very scientific but the plural of anecdote is data." In other words, if there are enough extraordinary stories of manifestation, this suggests that something is going on.

Psychologist Stanislav Grof and mythologist Joseph Campbell wrote dramatic accounts of successful shamanic rain-making ceremonies in which they participated (See Grof The Holotropic Mind). As Grof noted, it is highly unlikely that so many cultures would have continued to use rain ceremonies if they never worked, and shamans would soon lose their credibility if they often failed.

In my time here in the Findhorn Community, I have seen quite a few remarkable examples of manifestation which incline me to believe there is something in it. One is the almost-complete Art Centre.  Randy Klinger has persistently and consistently applied the principles of manifestation to this Centre for a decade, and has been a shining example of the practice of heartfelt gratitude for even the tiniest contribution. In the process, he has gained the support of many eminent people from the UK arts scene, raised the equivalent of over US$1m, and been gifted state-of-the- art energy and lighting equipment. This is a remarkable achievement for someone who was virtually unknown and living in a New Age community in the remote north of Scotland. A similar example is Thomas Warrior who held the vision of a Buddhist retreat centre here. When a suitable large house came on the market, someone turned up who was willing to lend a large part of the US$3m purchase price. At a more personal level are many stories of individuals who have manifested cars, jobs, travel funds, relationships and other things.

Scientific explanations of manifestation

One of the reasons that manifestation is so strongly criticised is that there is no known physical mechanism by which it could work. However, there are some theoretical perspectives that shed light on the process.

The Secret alludes to a basis in quantum physics but doesn't explain what this is. It is commonly believed in New Age circles that quantum physics proves the influence of mind over matter at the sub-atomic level. However, this is only one interpretation of quantum physics, and is far from being accepted by all physicists. The search continues for ways to get around this effect and find alternative explanations. Very few physicists believe that consciousness affects matter at the macro-scale of everyday life at which manifestation takes place. And many physicists complain about the distortions promulgated by New Age believers.

The process of manifestation described by the film actually fits the classical scientific model of an atomistic universe better than it does systems sciences, or quantum and relativity physics. In essence, The Secret portrays us as isolated beings who experience a sense of lack which we try to fill. Our thoughts and desires then act like magnets drawing corresponding but separate things, beings and events towards us through space and time.

But rather than a universe of isolated objects and independent events, modern science sees all existence as one interconnected and interactive whole. From this perspective, whatever I do or manifest has effects that ripple outwards to those around me and my environment. Ultimately, my actions may affect the whole universe, like ripples from a stone spreading across the whole surface of a still pond. And I in turn am affected by the ripples from manifestation by myriad other sentient beings.

This sense of connection and oneness arises in both quantum and relativity physics. It has been experimentally demonstrated that after sub-atomic particles have become entangled by interacting, they respond instantly to each other's changes of state no matter how far apart they may be. And quantum theory suggests that particles of matter continuously emerge from and disappear back into an underlying field. Similarly, relativity sees matter as nothing more than locations at which spacetime is tightly curved.

David Bohm is often cited for his idea that the quantum field contains an 'implicate order', or hidden blueprint, that unfolds into the 'explicate order' that we experience as the material universe. Ervin Laszlo similarly suggested that the psi field, as he called it, contains a memory of everything that has ever happened encoded in its complex wave patterns – a scientific version of the akashic record. And in my book, The Science of Oneness, I argued that the fundamental stuff of existence is cosmic Consciousness rather than matter or energy. Collectively, these ideas sketch the unproven outlines of ways by which mind may influence matter in the process of manifestation.

Very similar ideas arise from systems sciences at normal spatial scales. These have revealed that 'everything is connected to everything else', although the number and strength of connections varies enormously. Importantly, self-organising systems – which are common - are often very sensitive to small disturbances which may trigger an avalanche of unpredictable change that transforms the system. The most popular illustration of this is the story of the butterfly that flapped its wings in Beijing one day, thus causing a storm in Washington a week later. Again, this provides a possible, explanation for the effectiveness of manifestation. Our thoughts and consequent behaviours may unleash creative changes within the systems of which we are part. And positive thoughts and actions are more likely to push the system in the desired direction than are negative ones. The Secret did not even hint at this mechanism.

The endorphin effect described in the last section is another illustration of the fact that explanations for manifestation need not necessarily invoke abstruse physics or esoteric spiritual phenomena. In my last post on how we create the future, I gave many examples of how mind interacts with matter. I believe that most of what we create in our lives that is often attributed to the magical powers of manifestation and the law of attraction may have quite mundane explanations. For instance, when we are healthy and feel positive about ourselves and life, our body language and interpersonal behaviour reflect that vitality and self-confidence. Quite naturally people respond accordingly. Just imagine how you react to a person who is depressed compared to a cheerful extrovert. And these positive experiences snowball just as The Secret claims – not for esoteric reasons but because other peoples' responses make us feel even better, so they respond even more positively, and so it goes on.
