Вот у меня спросили

- А что такое Анархия?

Я сразу выпалил на автомате:

- Это СВОБОДА...

NYROCK:

Tell me about the clown masks and outfits. How did the band's stage persona come about?



PAUL:

It came about as our "anti-image" message. You know, we're not really worried about what cool hairstyle we have or what cool clothes we're wearing. We're about our music first. With the coveralls and the masks it takes the emphasis off of a "cool-guy," "rock-star" image.



NYROCK:

Do you think that message is getting across or do think it has taken a whole different turn?



PAUL:

A little bit of both. Our anti-image has turned into our image.

You can only stare at a clown mask so long. After a few minutes it's no big deal anymore. So people start paying attention to the music instead of what the clown is doing, or what he is wearing, or how cool his spikey hair is.





NYROCK:

What's it like to perform in the outfits?



PAUL:

Really hot. It's taken years off of our lives.



NYROCK:

Do you consider changing the image?



PAUL:

Not any time soon. But we don't want to block ourselves in a corner either. If we feel like changing it, we will.



NYROCK:

It must help to identify you from the myriad of other bands out there.



PAUL:

Yes, we definitely stand out. Nine members too.



NYROCK:

Yeah, that's another question I had. How did that evolve? Did the band start out as nine members?



PAUL:



We built the band that we wanted to hear. We added members until it sounded right. In the beginning, we had the idea around the three percussionists. We got the two guitar players, bass player, singer. We used sampling, so we got a sampler, and a DJ. We built the band that we wanted to hear and see live. It was all for us. If it was a band that required twenty members, and we thought we needed it... or two members.... We never had any set plan. We just kept doing it until it sounded right.



NYROCK:

Do you all have musical backgrounds?



PAUL:

Yeah. We've all been in different bands for years. We've all been friends forever. That's one thing that makes this band so fun to be in. Everybody in the band is our best friend. Our sampler has played guitar. I've played guitar in a band.



NYROCK:

What's it like being from Des Moines, Iowa and having this opportunity to see the world?



PAUL:

Well, I'm not really from Des Moines. I'm the only one who is not. I'm from Los Angeles, but I moved to Des Moines nine years ago. I had never really gone anywhere besides LA and Des Moines, so it's amazing. It's the best thing in the world. To get to come to a different country and play your music and actually have people there wanting to see you and hear your music. It's just mind blowing to me. I'm totally thankful to every kid that comes out to see us.



NYROCK:

Do you think it makes a difference being from Des Moines, than, say, being a band from New York?



PAUL:

We probably had to struggle a little bit more. We have no clubs where you can really play. Not much of a music scene. No other bands that are bigger in Des Moines that we can look up to or get help from. In that aspect it was really hard. No record companies wanted to come out to Des Moines to see a band.



NYROCK:

Tell me about the process of getting signed?



PAUL:

We started sending our stuff out to everybody. We got one somehow to Ross Robinson. He came out and saw us. He was gonna do the album no matter what label we were on. We started getting labels to come out. Once one comes out, they all come out. They have to make sure they're not falling behind.

We had a lot of different offers. Major labels offered us deals. But we went with Roadrunner because it's more of a family kind of thing. It's a matter of having a label with less bands on their roster so they can actually pay more attention to their bands.





NYROCK:

What number are you? [Rather than relying on the conventionality of names, the band members assigned numbers to each other to represent their identity. 0 - DJ Sid Wilson, 1 - drummer Joey Jordison, 2 - bassist Paul Gray, 3 - percussionist Chris Fehn, 4 - guitarist James Root, 5 - sampler Craig Jones, 6 - percussionist Shawn Crahan, 7 - guitarist Mic Thompson, 8 - vocalist Corey Taylor]



PAUL:

Number two.



NYROCK:

What's it like being number two? How do you identify with it?



PAUL:

Joey is our drummer and he is number one. Bass and drums are the backbone of the music; so that's how I got number two, I guess. For me, it's good. I like being number two. I can't complain, you know. I'm in Sweden.



NYROCK:

The inner sleeve of your CD jacket reads, "Fuck it all. Fuck this world. Fuck everything that you stand for. Don't belong. Don't exist. Don't give a shit. Don't ever judge me." Can you elaborate?



PAUL:

That's the lyrics to our song "Surfacing." That's the chorus to the song. Basically, we dedicate it to the kids as their new national anthem. It's our way of saying don't worry about everybody else. Just worry about yourself. Don't worry about the people judging and the people coming down on you and all the fake crap. Stick to what you believe in.

You'd have to get Corey to get his full meaning since he writes all the lyrics.... A lot of the stuff we like to leave it for people to decide anyway.





NYROCK:

What kind of music do you listen to?



PAUL:

I listen to everything from Neurosis to Steely Dan. It depends on what kind of mood I'm in. The last CD I got was David Bowie.



NYROCK:

Who are your influences?



PAUL:

Black Sabbath, Kiss, Black Flag, the punk rock stuff, the Dead Kennedys . But all of music has shaped the way I think about it.



NYROCK:

Your music is often referred to as new metal. How would you say that differs from metal?



PAUL:

The only thing I could see about it being new metal is because we're a new band. But our stuff is actually what they consider old-school metal. I think new metal is like the Limp Bizkit sound. Personally, we have more of a death-metal thing going than a Limp Bizkit thing. They always have to put some kind of categorization on it that a lot of people don't get. So, whatever. They can call it new jazz for all I care.



NYROCK:

What's coming up in the year 2000?



PAUL:

Tour, tour, tour. We're going to play our asses off.



NYROCK:

Anything else you'd like to add?



PAUL:

I would personally like to thank every single kid who has supported this band. Without them there would be no band. We wouldn't be able to do any of this. They've made our dreams come true and we won't let them down. We work 200 percent every time we play. We pride ourselves on working hard to make it worth it for the fans. So nothing but love and respect to everybody who comes to the shows, buys the CDs, and gives the band a chance.

LIVING UNDER FASCISM

A sermon by Davidson Loehr, Unitarian minister in

Austin, Texas



You may wonder why anyone would try to use the word

"fascism" in a serious discussion of where America is

today. It sounds like cheap name-calling, or

melodramatic allusion to a slew of old war movies.

But I am serious. I don't mean it as name-calling at

all. I mean to persuade you that the style of

governing into which America has slid is most

accurately described as fascism, and that the

necessary implications of this fact are rightly

regarded as terrifying. That's what I am about here.

And even if I don't persuade you, I hope to raise the

level of your thinking about who and where we are now,

to add some nuance and perhaps some useful insights.

The word comes from the Latin word "Fasces," denoting

a bundle of sticks tied together. The individual

sticks represented citizens, and the bundle

represented the state. The message of this metaphor

was that it was the bundle that was significant, not

the individual sticks. If it sounds un-American, it's

worth knowing that the Roman Fasces appear on the wall

behind the Speaker's podium in the chamber of the US

House of Representatives.

Still, it's an unlikely word. When most people hear

the word "fascism" they may think of the racism and

anti-Semitism of Mussolini and Hitler. It is true that

the use of force and the scapegoating of fringe groups

are part of every fascism. But there was also an

economic dimension of fascism, known in Europe during

the 1920s and '30s as "corporatism", which was an

essential ingredient of Mussolini's and Hitler's

tyrannies. So-called corporatism was adopted in Italy

and Germany during the 1930s and was held up as a

model by quite a few intellectuals and policy makers

in the United States and Europe.

As I mentioned a few weeks ago (in "The Corporation

Will Eat Your Soul", "Fortune Magazine" ran a cover

story on Mussolini in 1934, praising his fascism for

its ability to break worker unions, disempower workers

and transfer huge sums of money to those who

controlled the money rather than those who earned it.

Few Americans are aware of or can recall how so many

Americans and Europeans viewed economic fascism as

the wave of the future during the 1930s. Yet reviewing

our past may help shed light on our present, and

point the way to a better future. So I want to begin

by looking back to the last time fascism posed a

serious threat to America.

In Sinclair Lewis's 1935 novel "It Can't Happen Here"

a conservative southern politician is helped to the

presidency by a nationally syndicated radio talk show

host. The politician - Buzz Windrip - runs his

campaign on family values, the flag, and patriotism.

Windrip and the talk show host portray advocates of

traditional American democracy - those concerned with

individual rights and freedoms - as anti-American.

That was 69 years ago.

One of the most outspoken American fascists from the

1930s was economist Lawrence Dennis. In his 1936

book, The Coming American Fascism - a coming which he

anticipated and cheered - Dennis declared that

defenders of "18th-century Americanism" were sure to

become "the laughing stock of their own countrymen."

The big stumbling block to the development of economic

fascism, Dennis bemoaned, was "liberal norms of law or

constitutional guarantees of private rights."

So it is important for us to recognize that, as an

economic system, fascism was widely accepted in the

1920s and '30s, and nearly worshiped by some powerful

American industrialists. And fascism has always, and

explicitly, been opposed to liberalism of all kinds.

Mussolini, who helped create modern fascism, viewed

liberal ideas as the enemy. "The Fascist Conception of

life," he wrote, "stresses the importance of the State

and accepts the individual only in so far as his

interests coincide with the State. It is opposed to

classical liberalism [which] denied the State in the

name of the individual; Fascism reasserts the rights

of the State as expressing the real essence of the

individual."

(In 1932 Mussolini wrote, with the help of Giovanni

Gentile, an entry or the Italian Encyclopedia on the

definition of fascism. You can read the whole entry at

(http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/...ni-fascism.html)

Mussolini thought it was unnatural for a government to

protect individual rights: The essence of fascism, he

believed, is that government should be the master, not

the servant, of the people.

Still, fascism is a word that is completely foreign to

most of us. We need to know what it is, and how we can

know it when we see it.

In an essay coyly titled "Fascism Anyone?," Dr.

Lawrence Britt, a political scientist, identifies

social and political agendas common to fascist

regimes. His comparisons of Hitler, Mussolini, Franco,

Suharto, and Pinochet yielded this list of 14

"identifying characteristics of fascism." (The

following article is from Free Inquiry magazine,

Volume 23, Number 2.

www.secularhumanism.org/library/fi/britt_23_2.htm)

See how familiar they sound.



1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism: Fascist

regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos,

slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia.

Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on

clothing and in public displays.

2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights:

Because of fear of enemies and the need for security,

the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human

rights can be ignored in certain cases because of

"need." The people tend to look the other way or even

approve of torture, summary executions,

assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.

3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying

Cause: The people are rallied into a unifying

patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a

perceived common threat or foe: racial, ethnic or

religious minorities; liberals; communists;

socialists, terrorists, etc.

4. Supremacy of the Military: Even when there are

widespread domestic problems, the military is given a

disproportionate amount of government funding, and the

domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military

service are glamorized.

5. Rampant Sexism: The governments of fascist nations

tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under

fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made

more rigid. Opposition to abortion is high, as is

homophobia and anti-gay legislation and national

policy.

6. Controlled Mass Media: Sometimes the media are

directly controlled by the government, but in other

cases, the media are indirectly controlled by

government regulation, or sympathetic media

spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in

war time, is very common.

7. Obsession with National Security: Fear is used as a

motivational tool by the government over the masses.

8. Religion and Government are Intertwined:

Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most

common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate

public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is

common from government leaders, even when the major

tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to

the government's policies or actions.

9. Corporate Power is Protected: The industrial and

business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the

ones who put the government leaders into power,

creating a mutually beneficial business/government

relationship and power elite.

10. Labor Power is Suppressed: Because the organizing

power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist

government, labor unions are either eliminated

entirely, or are severely suppressed.

11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts: Fascist

nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to

higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for

professors and other academics to be censored or even

arrested. Free expression in the arts is openly

attacked, and governments often refuse to fund the

arts.

12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment: Under fascist

regimes, the police are given almost limitless power

to enforce laws. The people are often willing to

overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties

in the name of patriotism. There is often a national

police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist

nations.

13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption: Fascist regimes

almost always are governed by groups of friends and

associates who appoint each other to government

positions and use governmental power and authority to

protect their friends from accountability. It is not

uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and

even treasures to be appropriated or even outright

stolen by government leaders.

14. Fraudulent Elections: Sometimes elections in

fascist nations are a complete sham. Othertimes

elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against

or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of

legislation to control voting numbers or political

district boundaries, and manipulation of the media.

Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries

to manipulate or control elections.



This list will be familiar to students of political

science. But it should be familiar to students of

religion as well, for much of it mirrors the social

and political agenda of religious fundamentalisms

worldwide. It is both accurate and helpful for us to

understand fundamentalism as religious fascism, and

fascism as political fundamentalism. They both come

from very primitive parts of us that have always been

the default setting of our species: amity toward our

in-group, enmity toward out-groups, hierarchical

deference to alpha male figures, a powerful

identification with our territory, and so forth. It is

that brutal default setting that all civilizations

have tried to raise us above, but it is always a

fragile thing, civilization, and has to be achieved

over and over and over again.



But, again, this is not America's first encounter with

fascism.



In early 1944, the New York Times asked Vice President

Henry Wallace to, as Wallace noted, "write a piece

answering the following questions: What is a fascist?

How many fascists have we? How dangerous are they?"



Vice President Wallace's answer to those questions was

published in The New York Times on April 9, 1944, at

the height of the war against the Axis powers of

Germany and Japan. See how much you think his

statements apply to our society today.



"The really dangerous American fascist", Wallace

wrote, "is the man who wants to do in the United

States in an American way what Hitler did in Germany

in a Prussian way. The American fascist would prefer

not to use violence. His method is to poison the

channels of public information. With a fascist the

problem is never how best to present the truth to the

public but how best to use the news to deceive the

public into giving the fascist and his group more

money or more power."



In his strongest indictment of the tide of fascism he

saw rising in America, Wallace added, "They claim to

be super-patriots, but they would destroy every

liberty guaranteed by the Constitution. They demand

free enterprise, but are the spokesmen for monopoly

and vested interest. Their final objective toward

which all their deceit is directed is to capture

political power so that, using the power of the state

and the power of the market simultaneously, they may

keep the common man in eternal subjection." By these

standards, a few of today's weapons for keeping the

common people in eternal subjection include NAFTA, the

World Trade Organization, union-busting, cutting

worker benefits while increasing CEO pay, elimination

of worker benefits, security and pensions, rapacious

credit card interest, and outsourcing of jobs - not to

mention the largest prison system in the world.





The Perfect Storm



Our current descent into fascism came about through a

kind of "Perfect Storm," a confluence of three

unrelated but mutually supportive schools of thought.



1.The first stream of thought was the imperialistic

dream of "The Project for the New American Century". I

don't believe anyone can understand the past four

years without reading "The Project for the New

American Century", published in September 2000 and

authored by many who have been prominent players in

the Bush administrations, including Cheney, Rumsfeld,

Wolfowitz, Richard Perle and Donald Kagan to name only

a few. This report saw the fall of Communism as a call

for America to become the military rulers of the

world, to establish a new worldwide empire. They

spelled out the military enhancements we would need,

then noted, sadly, that these wonderful plans would

take a long time, unless there could be a catastrophic

and catalyzing event like a new Pearl Harbor that

would let the leaders turn America into a military and

militarist country. There was no clear interest in

religion in this report, and no clear concern with

local economic policies.



2. A second powerful stream must be credited to Pat

Robertson and his Christian Reconstructionists, or

Dominionists. Long dismissed by most of us as a

screwball, the Dominionist style of Christianity which

he has been preaching since the early 1980s is now the

most powerful religious voice in the Bush

administration.



Katherine Yurica, who transcribed over 1300 pages of

interviews from Pat Robertson's "700 Club" shows in

the 1980s, has shown how Robertson and his chosen

guests consistently, openly and passionately argued

that America must become a theocracy under the control

of Christian Dominionists. Robertson is on record

saying democracy is a terrible form of government

unless it is run by his kind of Christians. He also

rails constantly against taxing the rich, against

public education, social programs and welfare - and

prefers Deuteronomy 28 over the teachings of Jesus. He

is clear that women must remain homebound as obedient

servants of men, and that abortions, like homosexuals,

should not be allowed. Robertson has also been clear

that other kinds of Christians, including

Episcopalians and Presbyterians, are enemies of

Christ. (The Yurica Report. Search under this name, or

"Despoiling America" by Katherine Yurica on the

internet.)



3. The third major component of this Perfect Storm has

been the desire of very wealthy Americans and

corporate CEOs for a plutocracy that will favor

profits by the very rich and disempowerment of the

vast majority of American workers, the destruction of

workers' unions, and the alliance of government to

help achieve these greedy goals. It is a condition

some have called socialism for the rich, capitalism

for the poor, and which others recognize as a

reincarnation of Social Darwinism. This strain of

thought has been present throughout American history.

Seventy years ago, they tried to finance a military

coup to replace Franklin Delano Roosevelt and

establish General Smedley Butler as a fascist dictator

in 1934.



Fortunately, they picked a general who really was a

patriot; he refused, reported the scheme, and spoke

and wrote about it. As Canadian law professor Joel

Bakan wrote in the book and movie "The Corporation,"

they have now achieved their coup without firing a

shot.



Our plutocrats have had no particular interest in

religion. Their global interests are with an

imperialist empire, and their domestic goals are in

undoing all the New Deal reforms of Franklin Delano

Roosevelt that enabled the rise of America's middle

class after WWII.



Another ill wind in this Perfect Storm is more

important than its crudity might suggest: it was

President Clinton's sleazy sex with a young but eager

intern in the White House. This incident, and

Clinton's equally sleazy lying about it, focused the

certainties of conservatives on the fact that

"liberals" had neither moral compass nor moral

concern, and therefore represented a dangerous threat

to the moral fiber of America. While the effects of

this may be hard to quantify, I think they were

profound.



These "storm" components have no necessary connection,

and come from different groups of thinkers, many of

whom wouldn't even like one another. But together,

they form a nearly complete web of command and

control, which has finally gained control of America

and, they hope, of the world.



What's coming



When all fascisms exhibit the same social and

political agendas (the 14 points listed by Britt),

then it is not hard to predict where a new fascist

uprising will lead. The actions of fascists and the

social and political effects of fascism and

fundamentalism are clear and sobering. Here is some of

what's coming, what will be happening in our country

in the next few years:

* The theft of all social security funds, to be

transferred to those who control money, and the

increasing destitution of all those dependent on

social security and social welfare programs.

* Rising numbers of uninsured people in this country

that already has the highest percentage of citizens

without health insurance in the developed world.

* Increased loss of funding for public education

combined with increased support for vouchers, urging

Americans to entrust their children's education to

Christian schools.

* More restrictions on civil liberties as America is

turned into the police state necessary for fascism to

work.

* Withdrawal of virtually all funding for National

Public Radio and the Public Broadcasting System. At

their best, these media sometimes encourage critical

questioning, so they are correctly seen as enemies of

the state's official stories.

* The reinstatement of a draft, from which the

children of privileged parents will again be mostly

exempt, leaving our poorest children to fight and die

in wars of imperialism and greed that could never

benefit them anyway. (That was my one-sentence

Veterans' Day sermon for this year.)

* More imperialistic invasions: of Iran and others,

and the construction of a huge permanent embassy in

Iraq.

* More restrictions on speech, under the flag of

national security.

* Control of the internet to remove or cripple it as

an instrument of free communication that is exempt

from government control. This will be presented as a

necessary anti-terrorist measure.

* Efforts to remove the tax-exempt status of churches

like this one, and to characterize them as

anti-American.

* Tighter control of the editorial bias of almost all

media, and demonization of the few media they are

unable to control - the New York Times, for instance.

* Continued outsourcing of jobs, including more

white-collar jobs, to produce greater profits for

those who control the money and direct the society,

while simultaneously reducing America's workers to a

more desperate and powerless status.

* Moves in the banking industry to make it impossible

for an increasing number of Americans to own their

homes. As they did in the 1930s, those who control the

money know that it is to their advantage and profit to

keep others renting rather than owning.

* Criminalization of those who protest, as

un-American, with arrests, detentions and harassment

increasing. We already have a higher percentage of our

citizens in prison than any other country in the

world. That percentage will increase.

* In the near future, it will be illegal or at least

dangerous to say the things I have said here this

morning. In the fascist story, these things are

un-American. In the real history of a democratic

America, they were seen as profoundly patriotic, as

the kind of critical questions that kept the American

spirit alive - the kind of questions, incidentally,

that our media were supposed to be pressing.



Can these schemes work? I don't think so. I think they

are murderous, rapacious and insane. But I don't know.

Maybe they can. Similar schemes have worked in

countries like Chile, where a democracy in which over

90% voted has been reduced to one in which only about

20% vote because they say, as Americans are learning

to say, that it no longer matters who you vote for.



Hope



In the meantime, is there any hope, or do we just band

together like lemmings and dive off a cliff? Yes,

there is always hope, though at times it is more

hidden, as it is now.



As some critics are now saying, and as I have been

preaching and writing for almost twenty years,

America's liberals need to grow beyond political

liberalism, with its often self-absorbed focus on

individual rights to the exclusion of individual

responsibilities to the larger society. Liberals will

have to construct a more complete vision with moral

and religious grounding. That does not mean

confessional Christianity. It means the legitimate

heir to Christianity. Such a legitimate heir need not

be a religion, though it must have clear moral power,

and be able to attract the minds and hearts of a

voting majority of Americans.



And the new liberal vision must be larger than that of

the conservative religious vision that will be

appointing judges, writing laws and bending the

cultural norms toward hatred and exclusion for the

foreseeable future.

The conservatives deserve a lot of admiration. They

have spent the last thirty years studying American

politics, forming their vision and learning how to

gain control in the political system. And it worked;

they have won.



Even if liberals can develop a bigger vision, they

still have all that time-consuming work to do. It

won't be fast. It isn't even clear that liberals will

be willing to do it; they may instead prefer to go

down with the ship they're used to.



One man who has been tireless in his investigations

and critiques of America's slide into fascism is

Michael C. Ruppert, whose postings usually read as

though he is wound way too tight. But he offers four

pieces of advice about what we can do now, and they

seem reality-based enough to pass on to you. This is

America; they're all about money:



* First, he says you should get out of debt.

* Second is to spend your money and time on things

that give you energy and provide you with useful

information.

* Third is to stop spending a penny with major banks,

news media and corporations that feed you lies and

leave you angry and exhausted.

* And fourth is to learn how money works and use it

like a (political) weapon - as he predicts the rest of

the world will be doing against us.

from

(http://www.fromthewilderness.com/fr..._snap_out.shtml)



That's advice written this week. Another bit of advice

comes from sixty years ago, from Roosevelt's Vice

President, Henry Wallace. Wallace said, "Democracy, to

crush fascism internally, must...develop the ability

to keep people fully employed and at the same time

balance the budget. It must put human beings first and

dollars second. It must appeal to reason and decency

and not to violence and deceit. We must not tolerate

oppressive government or industrial oligarchy in the

form of monopolies and cartels."



Still another way to understand fascism is as a kind

of colonization. A simple definition of "colonization"

is that it takes people's stories away, and assigns

them supportive roles in stories that empower others

at their expense. When you are taxed to support a

government that uses you as a means to serve the ends

of others, you are -ironically- in a state of taxation

without representation. That's where this country

started, and it's where we are now.



I don't know the next step. I'm not a political

activist; I'm only a preacher. But whatever you do,

whatever we do, I hope that we can remember some very

basic things that I think of as eternally true.



One is that the vast majority of people are good

decent people who mean and do as well as they know

how. Very few people are evil, though some are. But we

all live in families where some of our blood relatives

support things we hate. I believe they mean well, and

the way to rebuild broken bridges is through greater

understanding, compassion, and a reality-based story

that is more inclusive and empowering for the vast

majority of us.



Those who want to live in a reality-based story rather

than as serfs in an ideology designed to transfer

power, possibility and hope to a small ruling elite

have much long and hard work to do, individually and

collectively. It will not be either easy or quick.





FROM 'GOOK' TO 'RAGHEAD'

by Bob Herbert ([email protected])



I spent some time recently with Aidan Delgado, a

23-year-old religion major at New College of Florida,

a small, highly selective school in Sarasota.

On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, before hearing

anything about the terror attacks that would change

the direction of American history, Mr. Delgado

enlisted as a private in the Army Reserve. Suddenly,

in ways he had never anticipated, the military took

over his life. He was trained as a mechanic and

assigned to the 320th Military Police Company in St.

Petersburg. By the spring of 2003, he was in Iraq.

Eventually he would be stationed at the prison

compound in Abu Ghraib.

Mr. Delgado's background is unusual. He is an American

citizen, but because his father was in the diplomatic

corps, he grew up overseas. He spent eight years in

Egypt, speaks Arabic and knows a great deal about the

various cultures of the Middle East. He wasn't happy

when, even before his unit left the States, a top

officer made wisecracks about the soldiers heading off

to Iraq to kill some ragheads and burn some turbans.

"He laughed," Mr. Delgado said, "and everybody in the

unit laughed with him."

The officer's comment was a harbinger of the

gratuitous violence that, according to Mr. Delgado, is

routinely inflicted by American soldiers on ordinary

Iraqis. He said: "Guys in my unit, particularly the

younger guys, would drive by in their Humvee and

shatter bottles over the heads of Iraqi civilians

passing by. They'd keep a bunch of empty Coke bottles

in the Humvee to break over people's heads."

He said he had confronted guys who were his friends

about this practice. "I said to them: 'What the hell

are you doing? Like, what does this accomplish?' And

they responded just completely openly. They said:

'Look, I hate being in Iraq. I hate being stuck here.

And I hate being surrounded by hajis.' "

"Haji" is the troops' term of choice for an Iraqi.

It's used the way "gook" or "Charlie" was used in

Vietnam.

Mr. Delgado said he had witnessed incidents in which

an Army sergeant lashed a group of children with a

steel Humvee antenna, and a Marine corporal planted a

vicious kick in the chest of a kid about 6 years old.

There were many occasions, he said, when soldiers or

marines would yell and curse and point their guns at

Iraqis who had done nothing wrong.

He said he believes that the absence of any real

understanding of Arab or Muslim culture by most

G.I.'s, combined with a lack of proper training and

the unrelieved tension of life in a war zone,

contributes to levels of fear and rage that lead to

frequent instances of unnecessary violence.

Mr. Delgado, an extremely thoughtful and serious young

man, balked at the entire scene. "It drove me into a

moral quagmire," he said. "I walked up to my commander

and gave him my weapon. I said: 'I'm not going to

fight. I'm not going to kill anyone. This war is

wrong. I'll stay. I'll finish my job as a mechanic.

But I'm not going to hurt anyone. And I want to be

processed as a conscientious objector.' "

He stayed with his unit and endured a fair amount of

ostracism. "People would say I was a traitor or a

coward," he said. "The stuff you would expect." In

November 2003, after several months in Nasiriya in

southern Iraq, the 320th was redeployed to Abu Ghraib.

The violence there was sickening, Mr. Delgado said.

Some inmates were beaten nearly to death. The G.I.'s

at Abu Ghraib lived in cells while most of the

detainees were housed in large overcrowded tents set

up in outdoor compounds that were vulnerable to

mortars fired by insurgents. The Army acknowledges

that at least 32 Abu Ghraib detainees were killed by

mortar fire.

Mr. Delgado, who eventually got conscientious objector

status and was honorably discharged last January,

recalled a disturbance that occurred while he was

working in the Abu Ghraib motor pool. Detainees who

had been demonstrating over a variety of grievances

began throwing rocks at the guards. As the isturbance

grew, the Army authorized lethal force. Four detainees

were shot to death.

Mr. Delgado confronted a sergeant who, he said, had

fired on the detainees. "I asked him," said Mr.

Delgado, "if he was proud that he had shot unarmed men

behind barbed wire for throwing stones. He didn't get

mad at all. He was, like, 'Well, I saw them bloody my

buddy's nose, so I knelt down. I said a prayer. I

stood up, and I shot them down.' "

У человека есть много способов видения

В.М. Бронниковчитать дальше

Можно, конечно, стать в позицию материалиста, отрицающего все, мол, этого не может быть, потому что не может быть никогда. Но, думается, что время таких людей проходит.

Международный конгресс "Наука, информация, сознание" подвел итог полученным результатам, подтверждающим сделанное нами открытие в области развития качеств мозга человека, и, в данном случае, новых форм видения.

Зрение, память, воображение и фантазия,сон, медитация- это вовсе не полный перечень способов видения человека. Ведь каждый человек имеет свои доминирующие в развитии качества видения. Однако, у большинства людей способность видения развита на 1,5 -10% от их возможностей. Наш метод способен существенно развить зрение, память, воображение и фантазию, осознание сновидений и другое, такие как: биокомпьютерное, голографическое (объемное) радарное, прямое видение, которые позволяют получать прямые знания без посредника-прибора.

Для многих эти выше перечисленные возможности кажутся фантастическими, но так ли это? Больше удивляет другое, что, по данным ведущих офтальмологов России, в мире возрастает тенденция к резкому падению зрения. Предполагается, что в ближайшем будущем до 60 - 70% людей будут слепыми или слабовидящими. В чем дело? По-видимому, воздействие техногенной среды сделало свое дело, влияя на организм человека, у которого эволюционно отсутствуют защитные свойства от энерго-информационных воздействий, так как этого явления ранее не существовало. Мы занимаемся, технологией, обеспечивающей безопасность человека от энерго-информационных воздействий, и в этом плане открывающиеся новые способности видения играют важную роль.

Сновидение - есть много сведений о том, что некоторых людей во сне обучают. И этот учитель во сне реально существует. Не буду лишний раз рассказывать историю, о том, что свою периодическую таблицу Д.Менделеев увидел во сне. И таких примеров достаточно много.

Фантазия - тоже способ видения. Тренируя способность к фантазированию, воображению, развитой человек способен увидеть воображаемое так реально, как, скажем, художник видит на чистом листе бумаги сразу готовое изображение. Каждый водитель, ощущающий габариты своей машины, также обладает технологией объемного видения, о которой он и не знает. И такие способности су ществуют у каждого.

Есть и, так называемое, альтернативное видение, радарное, прямое, компьютерное. И мы развиваем эти качества, заложенные у каждого человека, но пока не востребованные.

В этой связи вкратце расскажу об истории возникновения метода, как он ко мне пришел. Это существенно, так как пришел он ко мне не из книг. Так получилось, что еще маленьким ребенком я видел сначала тонкоматериальные процессы, а только потом плотные объекты. Отчего это возникло и как, -трудно сказать, но это обстоятельство уже в самом начале жизни дало мне большие дополнительные возможности, творческие способности. К примеру, уже в 1 классе я мог вылепить букет роз, профессионально ощущая объем и пространство, кроме того, видел сквозь различные преграды, стены. Сейчас реб_ят, обладающих подобными свойствами называют "индиго-дети". Рождаются они с уникальными способностями,но в социальном плане абсолютно не приспособленными. Я сам из-за этой способности в детстве имел очень много проблем. Непонимание и воздействие родителей и окружающих было такое, что они, по сути, разрушили мое здоровье: двигательную функцию, зрение, память, координацию движения. Я даже экзамены в школе сдавал письменно, т.к.не мог разговаривать. Но нашелся учитель, некий человек, который помог мне в этом разобраться, навести порядок в моем организме, преодолеть эти трудности, одновременно, познавая механизм их преодоления. Когда же я привел себя в нормальное состояние, то понял: "Кто этим не владеет, тот просто безграмотен, слаб и беззащитен". Поэтому, понимая, как это важно, стал в первую очередь обучать своих детей. Считаю, одним из важнейших показателей своих успехов то, что мои жена, дочь, сын, близкие родственники, друзья тоже стали специалистами метода. Хотя никогда не мог предположить, что это настолько может быть нужным и важным, что придется заниматься именно этим, а не чем-то другим. Ведь по натуре я - художник, скульптор, и думал, что найду свое призвание в искусстве . Но знакомство с профессо ром Акимовым, пригласившим меня (с моей командой) лет 10 назад в Москву для научно-исследовательских работ, перевернуло всю жизнь. Метод получил широкое распространение и изучается в различных институтах. На основе метода уже сделан ряд открытий различного уровня.

Но те люди, которые принимают данный метод как развитие некого особого способа видения, - глубоко ошибаются. Способность видения - это 1/10 его часть. С моей точки зрения - это в первую очередь новая системно-целостная психология. В настоящее время социально-информационные процессы оказывают мощное влияние на человека. Большинство людей отстает от этого развития. Сейчас из человека разумного, живущего эмпирически, формируется человек сознательный, ориентированный на знание результатов будущих событий. Если раньше паровая машина создавалась 200 лет эмпирически, то создание компьютера, ракет и самолетов - это технологии сознательные, где сначала делаются точные математические вычисления, а потом создается техника. Так и человек должен четко знать свое будущее, а потом делать шаги. Для этого нужна совершенно новая психология, и я занимаюсь системно-целостной психологией, информационными процессами, которые человек может использовать в своей жизни. И за счет этого раскрывать невостребованные свойства и качества организма. Они существуют в каждом человеке. У детей обучение идет лучше,чем у взрослых, а у людей высокообразованных, крупных ученых, особенно математиков и физиков - хуже. Потому, что у них уже создана искусственная мощная са мостоятельная психология, блокирующая дальнейшее развитие. Когда же человек болен, имеет проблемы, эта способность открывается очень быстро. А у детей до 14 лет - эффективность обучения почти стопроцентная. С моей точки зрения все дело в психологии, новой психологии. Не каждый человек может правильно отреагировать на то, что мы делаем. Сейчас еще ведутся споры о возможности открытия слепым прямого видения, а для нас - это уже вчерашний день.

Как же понять, что скрыто за этим явлением? В письмах, приходящих от простых людей, нередко содержится просьба выслать методички, учебники по развитию ясновидения. Но относить ясновидение к тонким процессам - просто смешно. К этой категории можно отнести видение ауры, полей, различных эфиров, казуальное, ментальное, эфирное и т.д. Возможность видеть всякие сущности, ангелов и т.д., чакры, каналы. Но это - лишь ничтожная часть явления, включающего в себя массу физических процессов, таких как: радиация, магнитные явления, радиоволны, голограммы, микропроцессы, вирусы, клетки, молекулы.

Наш метод связан и с использованием быстрого сна в бодрствующем состоянии, а вот к, так называемому, "третьему глазу" никакого отношения не имеет. Из исторической литературы известно, что в Китае подобное явление называется "ШЭНЬ", а в христианстве - "Свет Христов". И если христиане не знают, что такое "СветХристов", -то какие же они христиане? Советую об этом прочитать у Серафима Саровского...

Пока ученые спорят о достоверности явления, мы уже работаем на уровне ДНК. Помните, сказку о Левше, который подковал блоху. Наши специалисты способны "подковать" ДНК. Только вопрос: "Кому это надо?". Развивая возможности мозга человека, мы создаем граждан, способных влиять на будущие события. Теперь понимаете всю важность вопроса?

По древнекитайским технологиям, на то, чтобы открыть у человека внутреннее видение, уходило 10-12 лет. При обучении по моему методу для открытия внутреннего видения достаточно 30 занятий.

Следующий этап: экран внутреннего видения преобразуется в биокомпьютер. Но как же он сможет работать, если нет программы? На это и направлена 4-я ступень, которая развивает у человека способность вложить в свой БК различные программы под конкретную задачу. Мы стоим на пороге открытия огромных практических возможностей.

За этим стоит понятие "сверхсознание" (информация засекречена). Но, если в ближайшее время ее не обнародуют, то обычный человек просто не будет способен психологически ее воспринять. Возьмем за пример ситуацию, когда человек ест: выбирая продукт, откусывая, пережевывая, проглатывая, переваривая, он что-то усваивает, а что-то выделяет. А в усвоении информации? Более 90% информации входит в организм бессознательно. И человек не способен разобраться в ней, ибо нет у него способности переработать ее всю, усвоив нужную и выделив остальную. Отсутствуют у современного человека и защитные свойства против этих информационных процессов. Поэтому наша задача - дать новые психологические технологии в развитии человека, в которых не используются технологии воздействия. Человек должен раскрыться сам, а мы лишь помогаем человеку развить невостребованные возможности.

Предчувствуя вопрос о том, безопасно ли иметь людей с такими способностями? Хочу успокоить общественность, тем, что подобными способностями могут овладеть всего 2% людей. Кроме того, каждый человек определяет для себя сам: нужно ему это, или нет. Да и развиваем мы не широкий спектр способностей, а очень ограниченный. Под задачу. Кому надо двигательную функцию восстановить - развиваем ее. Кому слух - развиваем слух. Кому память-память. Зрение - зрение. Сознание - сознание. И т.д.

Тот уровень знаний, который мы даем, абсолютно безопасен для человека и окружающих.

Эта технология постепенно шаг за шагом приведет к созданию безопасной среды обитания для всех нас. Это долгий путь, и мы рады сотрудничать, со всеми заинтересовавшимися нашим методом людьми, с теми, кто заинтересован идти от прямого видения к прямым знаниям, открывая новую действительность нашей жизни. мостоятельная психология, блокирующая дальнейшее развитие. Когда же человек болен, имеет проблемы, эта способность открывается очень быстро. А у детей до 14 лет - эффективность обучения почти стопроцентная. С моей точки зрения все дело в психологии, новой психологии. Не каждый человек может правильно отреагировать на то, что мы делаем. Сейчас еще ведутся споры о возможности открытия слепым прямого видения, а для нас - это уже вчерашний день.
