By the way, I am using the services of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sharebee.com&quot;&gt;sharebee.com&lt;/a&gt; to distribute these files. They will automatically upload your stuff to various free sites, and then check on the links periodically and reupload them as needed. Extremely useful for distributing whatever you want for free &#45; especially great combined with free wifi hotspots and super&#45;cheap computer parts. Anyone can become an information warrior, now easier than ever.

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Dr. Christina Donnell, author of Transcendent Dreaming (2008):&amp;nbsp; I heard you on &lt;a href=&quot;http://kfai.org&quot;&gt;http://kfai.org&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp; I studied with Chunyi Lin to finish my masters degree in 2001 at the U of MN.&amp;nbsp; I work at Clean Water Action &lt;a href=&quot;http://cleanwateraction.org&quot;&gt;http://cleanwateraction.org&lt;/a&gt; and now Joe well at Magus Books.&amp;nbsp; I recently did ayahuasca while in full&#45;lotus and experienced the rainbow body.&amp;nbsp;  I had my first prophetic dream in 1995, recorded it immediately in my journal, starting I thought it predicted the future.&amp;nbsp; It came true three years later&#8212;about the 55 protest, the Minnehaha Free State.&amp;nbsp; 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I&#8217;ve been trying to integrate back into mainstream reality and I&#8217;ve read one book a day since finishing my masters&#8212;a LOT of books, almost all nonfiction.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Your book is the BEST book I&#8217;ve read on shamanism and healing, etc.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I will announce this on the internet and wish you all the best,
&lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;About the Red Book, Jung said:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
    The years… when I pursued the inner images, were the most important time of my life. Everything else is to be derived from this. It began at that time, and the later details hardly matter anymore. My entire life consisted in elaborating what had burst forth from the unconscious and flooded me like an enigmatic stream and threatened to break me. That was the stuff and material for more than one life. Everything later was merely the outer classification, scientific elaboration, and the integration into life. But the numinous beginning, which contained everything, was then&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hello Everybody,
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I want to share with you all about the &lt;b&gt;Amazing &#8220;Solar Generator&#8221;&lt;/b&gt; 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
It is Like Having A Secret Power Plant Hidden In Your Home!
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
It is the best Solar Powered Backup System Provides Instant Electrical Power In Any Outage Or Disaster. Even Better Backup Kit Produces An Endless Supply Of Electricity For Free. Its a completely portable (and ultra&#45;high efficient) solar power generator which produces up to 1800 watts of household electricity on demand when you need it most. News of this “solar backup generator” (it’s the first “off&#45;the&#45;grid” breakthrough in 50 years) is spreading like wildfire all across the country.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Waiting for your thoughts for the same.

      <title>HACKER HARASSMENT COUNTER MEASURES ARE NEEDED</title>
      <link>http://www.brainsturbator.com/forums/viewthread/1279/</link>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:green;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font&#45;size:14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;HACKER HARASSMENT
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Below is a description of a real escalation of hacker harassment since I began reporting free energy facts, etc. on Facebook.&amp;nbsp; Can anybody here provide information on something I can do to deal with truth suppressing hackers, or should I simply keep on struggling and allow new anti&#45;hacker technology to finish these web fascists off? 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Message in response to MSN TV 2 Support Survey (1/10/10)
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
My system is hacked no matter what pass word I use or cookies and web page history removal is done. Until I can get something with Quantum Cryptography I will have to limp along with what ever the &#8220;web gods&#8221; will allow. After insulting these &#8220;gods&#8221; on my original Facebook profile page, suddenly one account stopped working entirely and this one began to behave very radically. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Richard Porter (see Spitfire and me holding a wing tip on profile picture &#45; please check out original Facebook, not &#8220;Facebook Lite&#8221; that seems to actually work as advertised.) 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Below is a typical message that pops up annoyingly often, it popped up twice while trying to post this today. (1/11/10) 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Cancel 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Here is another pop&#45;up that just happens &#8220;coincidently&#8221; (?) when I am trying to compose information to share about my web experiences:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
We&#8217;re having problems saving a draft of this e&#45;mail. Please try again in a little while. OK 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
My Spit post (link below) required an entire day of web struggling to post due to the factors mentioned above.

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
One of my accounts is still not working for several days now (2/16/10).&amp;nbsp; Although it is possible to compose, post, and send e&#45;mail messages, it is extremely time consuming given all of the pop ups, turning the web tv off, unplugging the system completely, etc. in an effort to make the msntv 2 work.&amp;nbsp;      
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Typing MAD WEB TV SCIENTIST PAGE into a search engine might help to clearly demonstrate hacker harasser motives.
&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>An interview with Wendell Potter (Former mouthpiece for Cigna)</title>
      <link>http://www.brainsturbator.com/forums/viewthread/1269/</link>
      <guid>http://www.brainsturbator.com/forums/viewthread/1269/#When:07:51:57Z</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Too long to post here, but it was a good read. Highlights:
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guernicamag.com/interviews/1207/the_last_temptation_of_wendell/&quot;&gt;http://www.guernicamag.com/interviews/1207/the_last_temptation_of_wendell/&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Just a few weeks later, Potter, who is from Tennessee, read in a local paper about a free healthcare expedition being held in Wise County, Virginia. He decided to check it out. Walking through the fairground gates, Potter saw hundreds of people waiting in the rain while physicians attended to patients in animal stalls or on gurneys lying on the rain&#45;soaked pavement. Tents had been pitched across the fairground lawns, creating a scene “like something that could’ve been happening on a battlefield or in a war&#45;torn country.” Tears mixed with the rain to cloud Potter’s vision. “What I thought was: ‘Is this the United States?’ It was so remote from my reality. It just seemed impossible.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;PR firms help create the front groups and serve as the back offices to get the work done. The insurance industry contributes advice and counsel and feedback, but the real work gets done by the PR firms that the insurance industry hires.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Guernica: You worked in the industry for twenty years. It doesn’t seem like it should have taken so long.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Wendell Potter: You don’t really focus on it or understand the significance of it. I’ll admit I knew that Wall Street looked at the medical&#45;loss ratio. I knew it was an important measure. I didn’t know until, frankly, very recently how important it was. As recently as fifteen years ago, the medical&#45;loss ratio in this country was 95 percent. Since then, there’s been great industry consolidation to the point that now there are seven companies that dominate. They’re all for&#45;profit. During the time that this consolidation, this shift to for&#45;profit occurred, the medical&#45;loss ratio has continued to drop. Now it’s around 80 percent. That means twenty cents of every dollar goes to something other than paying medical claims. Just fifteen years ago, ninety&#45;five cents of every dollar went to paying medical claims. This trend is due to pressure from Wall Street. If a company misses Wall Street’s expectations—if the medical&#45;loss ratio starts to inch up—the company will suffer. I’ve seen companies lose 20 percent of their stock value in one day by disappointing Wall Street with their medical&#45;loss ratio.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Guernica: Why is a corporate bureaucrat scarier? 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Wendell Potter: Because every person who works for a for&#45;profit company knows that the company has to meet Wall Street’s expectations. Every manager of the company has to pull his or her weight to make sure he and his team are doing all that they can to help the company meet that objective. That includes medical directors. Same with the nurses. They know what the company has to do to meet Wall Street’s expectations and to stay in the good graces of investors. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Guernica: So in other words, corporate bureaucrats have a profit incentive to deny care to people who are enrolled in their plans. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Wendell Potter: Absolutely. It doesn’t have to be stated directly to them that you will be paid a particular bonus if you deny X number of claims; it’s known, and it’s part of the culture.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Guernica: But we’ve heard this exact same talk of socialism decades ago during the battles over Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, etc. And I don’t think very many people want to lose these programs now. 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Wendell Potter: Conservatives are so bound to ideology they refuse to take a serious, open&#45;minded look at how for&#45;profit insurance companies have wrecked our healthcare. They don’t want to take the blinders off. What gives me hope is that despite all the lies and all the disinformation that opponents of reform have spread over the years, real reform has nevertheless been enacted. Like the Medicare program during the Johnson years; like the Medicaid program that is such an essential safety net for so many of our people; the Veteran’s program you mentioned. We have plenty of examples of government programs that work great and have done so much for so many billions of people over many years.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
(My Bold)
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Guernica: Did you ever express your concerns with colleagues at Cigna? 
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Wendell Potter: I talked to friends, but I didn’t muster the courage to [talk to co&#45;workers]. When I decided to quit, I thought I’d just kind of go quietly. I announced it as a retirement, but I could have made a lot more money had I stayed. But I was okay with that. I wasn’t ready to go fishing, but I was ready to take a break. &lt;b&gt;At one point, I thought I might have a chance to change things inside the company and the industry. But I realized very quickly that that was just wishful thinking. The industry is controlled by Wall Street investors. These companies are for&#45;profit. Their first rule is to enhance shareholder value. That is what’s important. If what I said hindered a company’s profitability, I was not going to be listened to&lt;/b&gt;, plain and simple.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hello all, I&#8217;m roxyrohit and I suppose I&#8217;m just a nerd who enjoys tinkering with things. It all started with learning HTML (who could have thought that a markup language could bury me so deep &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.brainsturbator.com/images/smileys/raspberry.gif&quot; width=&quot;19&quot; height=&quot;19&quot; alt=&quot;raspberry&quot; style=&quot;border:0;&quot; /&gt; ) and I have continued from there learning everything that I can about computers. I suppose my love affair with open source started in 8th grade when I heard about Linux on The Screensavers an interesting little technology show on TechTV. Then about two years ago I decided to go for using Linux and first used Ubuntu 5.04, and thus my journey began. Now on my laptop I&#8217;m running a nice upgraded version of Ubuntu 7.04 and my desktop has Suse 10.2 on it (by the way, KDE is where it&#8217;s at &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.brainsturbator.com/images/smileys/smile.gif&quot; width=&quot;19&quot; height=&quot;19&quot; alt=&quot;smile&quot; style=&quot;border:0;&quot; /&gt; ). I enjoy being able to try out cool new things, like KDE4 and rockbox on my iRiver H320. Linux has allowed me the freedom to understand computers better and to experiment and change things, I greatly enjoy the freedom that open source software has given me. I&#8217;ve never worked on Drupal but somehow magically stumbled upon it when I heard that the Summer of Code was getting going. So far it&#8217;s been really awesome working with Drupal people and I even managed to e&#45;mail Dries without knowing that he was the project lead &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.brainsturbator.com/images/smileys/wink.gif&quot; width=&quot;19&quot; height=&quot;19&quot; alt=&quot;wink&quot; style=&quot;border:0;&quot; /&gt;.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I&#8217;m currently wasting time studying abroad at the Ollscoil na héireann, Gaillimh (National University of Ireland, Galway) and enjoying learning about embedded systems and drinking (Guinness is beautiful &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.brainsturbator.com/images/smileys/smile.gif&quot; width=&quot;19&quot; height=&quot;19&quot; alt=&quot;smile&quot; style=&quot;border:0;&quot; /&gt; ). Studying and living in a different country has been an interesting experience and it really couldn&#8217;t be traded for anything. Before that, I was going to the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology but I decided to transfer to the University of Minnesota. I decided in going to college that I was going to learn everything I could about computers so I decided to major in computer science and computer engineering.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I have a bunch of strange diverse interests. I enjoy watching anime, even though plenty of people think that it&#8217;s for kids, it&#8217;s really philosophical and interesting (Cowboy Bebop is awesome &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.brainsturbator.com/images/smileys/smile.gif&quot; width=&quot;19&quot; height=&quot;19&quot; alt=&quot;smile&quot; style=&quot;border:0;&quot; /&gt; ). I also enjoy the martial arts, lately it has been Muay Thai boxing, I guess part of me enjoys pain. I also love video games and have been playing them since I was young. I started with games like Red Alert, Total Annihilation, Diablo and Team Fortress. I have since progressed to UT2K4 and Day of Defeat and would be happy to take you bastards on &lt;img src=&quot;http://www.brainsturbator.com/images/smileys/raspberry.gif&quot; width=&quot;19&quot; height=&quot;19&quot; alt=&quot;raspberry&quot; style=&quot;border:0;&quot; /&gt; (I suppose I&#8217;m a first person shooter guru). I also enjoy going to restaurants at 2 in the morning and hanging out with my friends (most of whom are just as crazy as I am). Maybe more than anything I just enjoy sitting by a river a listening to the water flow by as I lose myself in the sounds around me.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
I also enjoy a strange mix of music. Lately it has been Scandinavian death metal (Children of Bodom) mixed with video game music and underground rap.
