The Iraqi Tribunal Charade --the complicit Media Plays Along

Barry Lando: It's understandable that there's been no mention in the Baghdad courtroom of foreign complicity with Saddam’s crimes. What is surprising, though, is how thoroughly the American media have played along with that charade.

What began with publisher W.W. Norton taking a chance on a gutsy, hyperbolic and idiosyncratic attack on religion by a graduate student in neuroscience has grown into a remarkable intellectual wave.

Meanwhile on stage, newlywed Amy Winehouse performed a duet with Mick Jagger, cementing her ascent to near superstar status after topping the charts in both the UK and the US.

Winehouse, teamed up with Jagger on Ain't Too Proud To Beg, a Temptations song the Stones recorded for the 1974 album It's Only Rock'n'Roll. An unintimidated Amy made a fine double act with Mick, with different vocal styles but similar waist sizes.

1-3:30 AM Candace Pert Ph.D. "To Feel "Go(o)d: The Science and Spirit of
Bliss"
Bliss Is Your Biological Birthright - Are You Ready to Claim It?

To Dr. Candace Pert, 'feeling good' and 'feeling God' are one in the
same. You may be surprised to hear a world-renowned biophysicist
talking about God, yet Candace Pert is on the vanguard of a new breed of
scientists who fearlessly explore the territory where science and spirit
meet. On 'To Feel Go(o)d' Dr. Pert reveals that you are biologically
'hardwired for bliss' - all you need to do is tap your own body's
unlimited natural capacity for living in joy and connecting to the
divine. Join her on this new original audio to learn about:

+The biophysics of pleasure: How to get the most out of your body's
neurological capacity for ecstasy.
+ Forgiveness and you biology - why this powerful act can transfigure
and heal you at a cellular level.
+ What makes us feel bad? Simple changes that will eliminate obstacles
to your happiness.
+ How trauma is stored in the body, and strategies you can use to
release it.
+ Can science find God? A researcher's perspective on the universal
binding force of love, and more.

Since her appearance in 'What the Bleep Do We Know?' Candace Pert has
heard one question repeated again and again: 'How do I feel good in my
life?' With 'To Feel Go(o)d', this cutting-edge researcher and
spiritual philosopher brings you her insights on what you can do to
transcend transitory sensations of joy or pleasure - and inherit the
blissful union with God that is your evolutionary birthright.

Candace Pert, Ph.D. is an internationally recognized psycopharmacologist
and leading edge researcher, best known as the co-discoverer of the of
the 'pleasure' (or opiate) receptor and for her groundbreaking theories
on neuropeptides, consciousness, and reality. She is the author of
'Molecules of Emotion: The Science of Bodymind Medicine' and 'Everything
You Need to Know to Feel Go(o)d' has published over 250 articles in
peer-reviewed journal, and was a featured scientist in the film 'What
the Bleep Do We Know?' From Sounds True, 1 (800) 333-9185,

Christopher Hitchens on the Essential Stupidity of Religion

wow! My count is now up to 8 of anti-"Religion" people! what is going on? A touch of sanity attacking the psychotic monster of Obsolete Religion. Wonderful!

Christopher Hitchens on the Essential Stupidity of Religion

"Many people have been motivated to do grand, good things by faith, but why is that necessary?"

By DWAYNE BOOTH

Tuesday, May 29, 2007 - 6:00 pm

(Illustration by Mr. Fish)

He appears equally capable of pissing into your grandmother�s fish tank and beating you at chess: the quasi-omniscient Johnny Rotten of political journo-intellectualism, looking as if he were assembled hastily by sausage makers hoping to fill a suit with all the succulent impropriety of vitriolic yet delectable meats. A man well aware that the shortest distance (and least interesting path) between birth and death is a very straight line, he has the reputation of someone prone to the rich experiences offered by staggering. But contrary to the corroborating promises all but guaranteed by the YouTube versions of himself, Christopher Hitchens was not an as-advertised fucking dickhead asshole bully, much to my dismay.

It was like meeting a clown without his makeup, away from the hysteria of his profession, who appears lovely and handsome and noble, if only because he isn�t trapped in a spotlight at the center of a ludicrous pie fight. CON. HERE

This week Slate is publishing three excerpts from Christopher Hitchens' new book, God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything.

If the followers of the prophet Muhammad hoped to put an end to any future "revelations" after the immaculate conception of the Koran, they reckoned without the founder of what is now one of the world's fastest-growing faiths.

One of the better reviews on Amazon
Hitchens hits another one out of the park, April 29, 2007

By	K. Knighton (Seattle) - See all my reviews

I think Christopher Hitchens is a national - no, make that Global - treasure, and his newest book here only underscores this. To carry on with my baseball metaphor, when Hitchens stepped up to the plate with this book on religion the bases were already loaded: Vonnegut on third, Sam Harris on second, and Richard Dawkins on first. Hitchens knocks 'em all in with one swing of the bat. He cuts through the BS of religion and "faith" better than anybody.
the increasingly publicly-accepted insanity of religion in this, the 21st century. This insanity threatens to bring down all of civilization and, in the case of American fundamentalists in our government with their quivering fingers poised atop the launch buttons of our nuclear weapons, the end of Everything, which religious nut-jobs anticipate with unrestrained glee, so certain they are that they, at least, will be OK in the aftermath. This is just absolutely nuts, and Christopher Hitchens does us all a great service in pointing this out.
