Paul Craig Roberts: Osama bin Laden’s Useful Death 1/2

Osama bin Laden’s Useful Death Paul Craig Roberts www.infowars.com www.prisonplanet.tv May 3, 2011 In a propaganda piece reeking of US Triumphalism, two alleged journalists, Adam Goldman and Chris Brummitt, of the Associated Press or, rather, of the White House Ministry of Truth, write, or copy off a White House or CIA press release that “Osama bin Laden, the terror mastermind killed by Navy SEALs in an intense firefight, was hunted down based on information first gleaned years ago (emphasis added) from detainees at secret CIA prison sites in Eastern Europe, officials disclosed Monday.” “No credible image to show Osama killed by US Special Forces.” How many Americans will notice that the first paragraph of the “report” justifies CIA prisons and torture? Without secret prisons and torture “the terror mastermind” would still be running free, despite having died from renal failure in 2001. How many Americans will have the wits to wonder why the “terror mastermind” who defeated not merely the CIA and the FBI, but all 16 US intelligence agencies along with Israel’s Mossad and the intelligence services of NATO, who defeated NORAD, the National Security Council, the Pentagon and Joint Chiefs of Staff, the US Air Force, and Air Traffic Control, who caused security procedures to fail four times in US airports in one hour on the same day, who caused the state-of-the-art Pentagon air defenses to fail, and who managed to fly three airliners into three buildings with pilots who did

Johnny Farmer and Organized Noize – Death Letter

Humanity without spirituality is like empty shell.it might be good to look at but inside layes the emptiness of death.religion however is spirituality perverted.it never makes the human being whole. And please remember u are ur own priest,ur own salvation,ur own heaven and hell.if u get that u might have a chance towards absolute freedom.

Jeremy Scahill Comments on the Death of Osama Bin Laden & the US-led War on Terror (Democracy Now!)

DemocracyNow.org – The manhunt for Osama Bin Laden is over. Nearly 10 years after the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, US forces are said to have assassinated the Saudi-born founder of Al Qaeda inside Pakistan. At the time of his death, Bin Laden was living in a heavily fortified mansion just a mile from the Pakistani Army’s principal military academy. The US operation was reportedly carried out by 25 Navy Seals under the command of the Joint Special Operations Command. It is unclear what role Pakistan played in the killing. For analysis, Democracy Now! interviews Jeremy Scahill, the national security correspondent for The Nation magazine. This clip is part of an hour-long roundtable discussion about Bin Laden’s death and the ongoing war on terrorism.

Book Working Title: ‘ the Information (c)age – the Illusion of Fact and the Silent Death of Freedom’

I have finally gone back to writing and my first non-fiction book, “The Information (C)Age – The Illusion of Fact and The Silent Death of Freedom” is coming along well as much as my job at ISIS Papyrus allows, but my work experience is the information source of this book.

Book abstract:

Computing is a very powerful means, meaning that it is also a very powerful weapon. It is frightening to see to what extent governments already do and still plan to unleash that weapon on its citizens. Private information is collected by authorities of all kinds under the pretense of security. Our freedom is not threatened by a few terrorist bombs and not even by the fall of the World Trade Center, but it has been taken away by governments all around the world who claim to protect us by means of laws, rules and regulations and ever stricter monitoring of citizens.

Freedom is not about safety and security, it is about privacy, about choice and about knowledge. We say that knowledge is power and the more information is gathered and controlled by a government, the more it restricts our freedom. Therefore, there is no discussion of information technology without discussing politics.

Fortunately use of IT is so poorly managed that governments are unable to use its full potential. I do not only want to discuss how IT can be done better, but also how the betterment will be a benefit to people in general. I will show what companies are trying to do with Business Process Reengineering and why industrial-style business process automation is not good for customers, users and thus for the business as a whole.

I think it is also time to point out how the IT industry as a conglomerate of hardware and software vendors, consultants and outsourcers has finally wrestled control over IT from the hands of the businesses that use their products. Most claims of potential benefits are unsubstantiated and are at best about short-term cost savings. Therefore not only our IT jobs are going to India, but a huge amount of intellectual property in technical and process knowledge is transferred from the West to the East. I will try to show how we could innovate IT from the ground up to maybe stop that trend.

Yes, the Internet is one of the best things that we did with IT, but it is not about buying more or cheaper, but about people communicating and maybe sharing their experiences about life and – why not – about products. Vendors don’t like that aspect of the Internet at all. Therefore I like buyer feedback websites like on Amazon. Obviously, all information is only accurate to some extent and that is actually good enough as long as you can get it when you want it and use it as you see fit. There are as many truths as there are information receivers and thus “truth is what happens.”

You ought to be aware by now that a huge amount of information content on the Internet is intentionally incorrect. You can call that marketing or advertising but it is intentional misinformation or clearer – LIES. I will point out the new sub-culture of Internet money-making that Google and its method of reselling advertising has spawned. Much of the money that you seem to get for valid clicks of interest is going to websites that have no other purpose than harvesting clicks for profit. It is finally possible to make more money with Google than with a good porn site …

Knowledge and information – I will explain those differences later – are also about value and money. Copyright and patent laws are instruments of power, mostly of the financial kind. I propose that restricting the use of gathered knowledge is against the evolutionary concept of this universe, as far as we possibly understand it. Information technology is seen as something abstract, disconnected and even competing with nature. Scientists of mostly this century have however recognized that in physics as well as in biology, information is gathered, processed, kept and transmitted in numerous ways. DNA is just a very powerful information storage device that we can learn a lot from. From the bottom-up, determined by Quantum Physics, energy and information are treated as one. We find to our amazement that there is no certainty of observation and thus there are at best statistical after-the-fact illusions. Quantum Physics also disallows the exact prediction of what the effect of any action will have and puts energy and information transmitter and receiver at the same causal level. There is no meaning in data without the work of an interpreter that has some previous metadata (information about data) knowledge. That opens the tricky question where that metadata came from, right?

Quantum Physics also describes individuation, meaning that there are no two energetic or information quantities in this universe that are exactly alike. In this mystery lies the key to our individual uniqueness. In this enigma lies the beauty of our ability to judge on inaccurate and limited information, because that is all there is. Our emotional intuition is the best decision making tool there is as nature would have given us more if that would not be so.

The question of metadata or meta-knowledge leads into spirituality and faith and as a consequence – religion. If there is a God, what did he know at the time and how did he come to the decision to create this universe or if he is acting at a lesser level, why did he create us humans? Was He – or She or IT (pun intended) – the first creator of the divine metadata repository that interprets the information exchange in this universe? Was he acting from experience from creating other universes or just gut feel? Does IT have a gut and if not where does IT feel the love for us? Is IT the ultimately reasonable being? Is IT a computer then? What mathematics would IT use to calculate the outcome of the divine plan? Predictive analytics do not sound too divine, right? So here we are – right in the storyline of ‘Deity’, my first novel.

‘Deity’ opens up the subject of Artificial Intelligence or AI that I will dedicate a whole chapter too. I said twenty years ago that there will not be AI without understanding human intelligence. Today I understand human intelligence much better and I say that there will never be AI! But there is progress in so-called Machine-Learning and I will explain my own work in this area. Intelligence – human and artificial – is not based on rules as I will try to explain.

As a consequence, I will try to discuss the role of philosophy in science and what it can do for information technology. For too many IT people that notion seems incredibly odd and thus I sometimes feel like Miguel de Cervantes’ “El ingenioso hidalgo Don Quixote de la Mancha” who fought the dragons of his mind, embodied in the windmills of his homeland. The fight against the windmills is a sideline of the original story. A common 19th century interpretation is that they represent the heroic fight of the nobles against the coming of the industrial age.

Yes, I do believe in the right to know and thus for the right of people to unbiased education for free. Rather than feeding people and thus make them dependant, we ought to teach them and thus give them freedom. But I am not into conspiracy theories except in my novels, but I also know that the people of this world are being intentionally mislead by those in power and by the ‘thinking elite’.

Because of my controversial position and my lack of a university degree, I have been called jaded and my writing a ‘rant’, but that is mostly because I have learned that being friendly and considerate, as well as treading lightly does not bring about change.

So here I am, stepping on a few toes …
