Excerpts from a comment by Keith Olbermann on MSNBC. Do read the full story…

Tonight, a special comment on the advertising of terrorism – the commercial you have already seen.

It shows images of Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri;

It offers quotes from them—all as a clock ticks ominously in the background.

It concludes with what Zawahiri may or may not have said to a Pakistani journalist as long ago as 2001:  His dubious claim that he had purchased “suitcase bombs.” The quotation is followed (by sheer coincidence no doubt) by an image of a massive explosion.

“These are the stakes,” appears on the screen, quoting exactly from Lyndon Johnson’s infamous nuclear scare commercial from 1964.

“To fill or overpower with terror; terrify. To coerce by intimidation or fear.”

By this definition, the people who put these videos together—first the terrorists and then the administration—whose shared goal is to scare you into panicking instead of thinking—they are the ones terrorizing you.

Eleven Presidents ago, a chief executive reassured us that “we have nothing to fear but fear itself.”

His distant successor has wasted his administration insisting that there is nothing we can have but fear itself.

We have been here when President John Adams insisted that the Alien and Sedition Acts were necessary to save American lives, only to watch him use those acts to jail newspaper editors. 

American newspaper editors, in American jails, for things they wrote about America.

We have been here when President Woodrow Wilson insisted that the Espionage Act was necessary to save American lives, only to watch him use that Act to prosecute 2,000 Americans, especially those he disparaged as “Hyphenated Americans,” most of whom were guilty only of advocating peace in a time of war.

American public speakers, in American jails, for things they said about America.

IE7 out. Firefox 2.0 unleashed. That isn’t all folks. Earlier we posted this “Mozilla accepts Microsoft’s offer of help“. A very nice gesture happened from the Empire of Microsoft. IE team sent Firefox people a cake for the release of Firefox 2.0 .

My first reaction was “WTF”. And mind you, it is not a propaganda or some Hindu site and there are plenty of spiritual writings on the site. Though it doesn’t shake my belief one bit, but then as I read, I won’t dare to make anymore comments on this material. It looks well researched and it says that Jesus was in india during the “lost years” and that he was illuminated in the Himalayas.

Some excerpts:-

At the time of Jesus there were two major currents or sects within Judaism: the Pharisees and the Sadducees.  There was also a third sect which both was and was not part of Judaism. They were the Essenes, whose very name means “the Outsiders.”. The reality of this contact with India is shown in the Zohar (2:188a-b), a compilation of ancient Jewish mystical traditions and the major text of the Jewish Kabbalah.

For the next few years the Himalayas became Jesus’ well-travelled home. During part of that time Jesus meditated in a cave north of the present-day city of Rishikesh, one of the most sacred locales of India, and also on the banks of the Ganges in the holy city of Hardwar. In the years He spent in the Himalayas, He attained the supreme heights of spiritual realization.

Sorry if the title looks misleading.
