Rumsfeld's Biblical Message-Laden Intelligence Briefs
ABC News' Jennifer Parker reports: Former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld prepared top-secret military intelligence briefs for former President George W. Bush with cover sheets featuring triumphant images from the Iraq war with "Crusades-like" Bible messages, according to an exclusive report in the latest June issue of GQ magazine.
A March 31, 2003 brief cover-sheet depicted a U.S. tank roaring through the desert with a biblical quote from Ephesians: "Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand." The briefs,
known as the Worldwide Intelligence Update, were prepared by Rumsfeld
and often hand-delivered to Bush, and only circulated among a handful
of Pentagon leaders and the president, according to GQ's Robert Draper.
A March 31, 2003 brief cover-sheet depicted a U.S. tank roaring through the desert with a biblical quote from Ephesians: "Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand."
An April 7, 2003 cover sheet depicted an image of Saddam Hussein under a quote from the First Epistle of Peter: "It is God's will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men."
An April 10, 2003 brief showed the statue of Saddam Hussein being pulled down, an Iraqi child kissing an American soldier and jubilant Iraqi crowds with a quote from the book of Psalms: "Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him ... To deliver their soul from death."
At least one Muslim analyst in the Pentagon had been offended, GQ reports, and others worried that the biblical passages would inspire Islamic outrage within Muslim nations.
The cover sheets were the "brainchild" of Major General Glen Shaffer, a director for intelligence for Rumsfeld and the Joint Chiefs of Staff, who reportedly told those who complained about the cover pages that "my seniors" appreciated them, including Bush, Rumsfeld, and former Joint Chiefs chairman Richard Myers.
GQ obtained the sheets from an unnamed government official who "was disturbed enough by these biblically seasoned sheets to hold on to copies," Draper reports.

Show AllExcellent posts, SIDE! I especially liked the part where you described the math behind the frequency of Venus. I had an acupuncturist who used tuning forks that were tuned to all the frequencies of the planets and placed them on various acupressure points. It was very powerful work.
Thank you 7thSun. This work, including your acupuncture tuning forks is called Astrosonics and was originally developed by Michael Heleus back in the late 60's and early 70's and was presented at the American Federation of Astrologers Convention in Dallas in 1972 during August of that year. I was there working at the convention bookstore and briefly met Heleus being introduced by the father of modern astrology Al. H. Morrison (who was the most fascinating person I met in my life).
There was a lot of acid going around then and I many of us younger astrologers were taking it by the handful and original insights were everywhere. A good LSD trip was worth much more than a post graduate degree under the stifling onus of orthodox academia which was/is so completely influenced by the Churches; so many of us dropped out. And there was Nixon to deal with, who made insight illegal through the same idiots Cheney and Rumsfeld (I knew I could get this on topic if I tried!) who still remain at large to torture us today.
Our idea was to drop the mumbo jumbo and just look at the universe and forget the enormous distractions of the constellations and signs and the precessional arguments which attended them, and just look at what was there from a purely physical science paradigm.
During that time, Michael Heleus was (as with all American astrologers) shoved to the periphery of any conventional orthodox scientific discussion. Michael was a classical keyboardist and had mystical/musical connections through his family and got hold of one of the first MOOG type patchboard synthesizers (brand name "Digicomp") to experiment with.
Michael came up with the formulas for stepping the planets up by octaves to find their audible pitches and created the formula I gave in the post. Michael then went on a lecture tour of astrological clubs and organizations around the country giving demonstrations of his discoveries to rapt audiences. He immediately encountered problems with some people in large audiences because when he played a combination like Moon and Jupiter, which has an emotionally buoyant satisfied quality on one level of manifestation; but is also associated with gluttony, binging, overindulgence, and purging, (bullimia); some people were very happy, --and some threw up!...depending upon their individual patterns at birth and their own developmental progression.
He couldn't control the effects on a random audience of the curious and recognized that some of the audience could have the same reaction as a piece of tuned crystal to a C above high C by Pavarotti. Equally disturbing to me was the possibility of intentionally generating disruptive sound which could be used to create earthquakes in the role of destabilizing vulnerable portions of tectonic plates in areas ripe for political conquests. I am of the opinion that this actually happened and is one of the techniques used by military intelligence. They already use long wave sonar sound and are killing whales in their efforts to actualize their paranoia regarding the Russians, Chinese, etc. (High energy sub optical electromagnetic resonances are already used in the battlefield in Lebanon and one such device was even demonstrated on "60 Minutes" last year to boil the blood of a person from a distance. This is now in the standard arsenal available to police for crowd control and we will no doubt be seeing it in practice here fairly soon). Heleus stopped and went into private practice and is now in the Phoenix area. I found him on the blessed internet after losing him for 32 years!
part two follows:
Side two 7thSun:
Heleus began with the original work of Kepler who, while developing his harmonic motion laws of planetary motion, surmised that the planetary orbital periods represented pitches. Kepler was very interested in the ratios he found in planetary periods. For example, (rounding off) Mercury at 88 days and multiplying it by 4 brings you very close to Earths' 365 days. 2.5 times Jupiters' 12 years is nearly exactly Saturns' 30 years and 8 Jupiter years equal a Uranus Year. Uranus (84 years is exactly half of Neptune 164 years).
And this is very, very interesting when you look at the two earthquakes in San Francisco:
April 18, 1906, shortly after 5:12 am.
October 17, 1989, at 5:04:15 pm.
83.5 years. A full Uranus cycle. Half a Neptune cycle. Half a Mercury cycle, and Half an Earth/Sun cycle all happening on precisely the same date and even the axial rotation of the Earth on that day in 1989 was halfway around (AM/PM)
Now a half-cycle is a half a sine wave. In music this is called a tri-tone which is the note which is equidistant from the root of the scale in either direction. It is the flatted fifth of the 12 tone scale on the piano. This is the tone which in music provides the warning sense in our awareness. It is the tone which does "not fit" and demands resolution. It is disruptive. It is a member of the Fully Diminished Scale and when combined with the flatted 3rd and the fully diminished 7th note of the scale the result is intolerable to the ear. For those who are following this discussion on the piano in the Key of C this is [C, Eflat, Gflat, A ].
People intuitively understand this, for example when Leiber and Stoller wrote "Along Came Jones" for the Coasters in the heyday of rock and roll, they put a recurring fully diminished scale phrase in the song which followed these lines "and then he tied her on the railroad track..." and "and then he turned on the buzz saw..."
And "then along came Jones" and saved the day in a flurry of Major Pentatonic Scale musical resolutions.
Everything within our perceptive universe is involved with these harmonic vibrational resonances. It connects every individual thing with every other individual thing. Everything in motion, all the time, for eternity, in it together.
Back in 1972 when this began to emerge we never thought it would take "science" so long to catch up with us and begin to recognize that once again the ancient wisdom had it right from the very beginning. Neural science won't talk to us and
geo-science won't talk to us. I've tried to get Bob Urhammer at the UC Berkeley Seismographic Lab to listen to these theories and talked to several physics professors over the years but none could get their head around it and instead kept mumbling about primitive superstitions.
The neural pathway people are the most vulnerable to accepting it but they want to get credit for it so they can't publicly endorse it because they would be proving astrology and they would be branded scientific heretics, and since the scientists were forced to abandon this line of research 500 years ago by the Catholic Church the current orthodoxy is now on the verge of having to reverse itself and admit that they were the heretics all along. I want to see that full circle to complete before I die.

WOW! Thank you for that!
And I hope you get to see the "complete circle". : )
I guess this has something to do with why Ray McGovern's pals called Rummy & Co. "the crazies."
Well, I'm pretty sure Rumsfeld never listened to "Masters of War".
And I guess he skipped, "With God on Our Side" too.

(the atheist's motto).
This literally is another of Rumsfeld's crimes he could be prosecuted for; surely. After all, what he and Maj. Gen. Glen Shaffer were doing with this was to deliberately try to brainwash, say, certainly influence, anyway, GW Bush into believing that he was really doing God's Will by commanding war on Iraq and, once launched, installing the criminal occupation in Iraq. It clearly was for no other purpose and literally is criminal, surely is prosecutable as much as inciting people to commit violence is, but much more strongly in this case of war.
Maj. Gen. Shaffer should also be prosecuted for this; certainly could be anyway. But of course it'd end up with another whitewash, or infantile slap on the hand. This assh*le should be [dishonourably] discharged for least of punishment or penalty.
