"HIGH ALERT! This is a state of emergency in the US" | Morris Invest

(Morris Invest) July 22, 2024: We are witnessing a tipping point moment for the United States of America. Pres. Biden [aka Genocide Joe] is stepping down from the next presidential race, the other candidate was almost assassinated, and there a massive collapse of America's infrastructure will be used to control all of us. The [Clinton-affiliated] CrowdStrike failure is just the beginning.

(Status Coup News) Top 5 batshit GOP meltdowns from Biden's State of the Union speech in D.C.

• Conspiracy theory: What did they shoot up Biden's body-double to be so energetic and shouting with only a few demented and senile slipups? Coke? Adrenochrome? Late night pizza (*wink-wink*) the night before so he'd have a good night's sleep and be well rested? Not only did he arrive late like Joe Kool (aka Snoopy), hung around for 45 afterward because the networks won't go to the Republican rebuttal until he leaves the building. And Rep. Katie Britt, 42, failed to wow; in fact, she brought shame upon the GOP with her down-hominess from the kitchen, a big Republican misstep. So if Trump loses, maybe it wasn't another stolen election with rigged machines, just 90 criminal charges and so many losses that he could afford to lose no more.

Lauren Boebert had a tough time in high school

While Republican Lauren Boebert sat on her hands, sad about her criminal son facing five felony charges, Rep. (GA) Marjorie Taylor Greene kept it interesting as she spoke to the president before his stump speech SOTU. Then she shouted him down for lying or exaggerating, cutting him off, causing a ruckus and fracas. Lol. Genocide Joe, or one of his body doubles, did a great job, except for about three or four stumbles, mumbling incoherently, deer in the headlights, before coming out of it again and carrying on. Good job.

Meeting NSA whistleblower Ed Snowden (video)

Ashley Wells, Pat Macpherson, CC Liu, Wisdom Quarterly; Amy Goodman

 

Intercepting the National Spying Agency

In part two of Democracy Now's extended interview, Intercept journalist Glenn Greenwald tells the inside story of meeting National Security Agency (NSA) whistleblower Edward Snowden. 

Pulitzer Prize-winning Greenwald and filmmaker Laura Poitras were the journalists who first met Snowden in Hong Kong last June, going on to publish a series of disclosures in The Guardian, a venerable 190-year-old British newspaper, that exposed massive NSA surveillance to the world.

Host Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!

Greenwald has just come out with a new book on the Snowden leaks and their fallout, No Place to Hide: Edward Snowden, the NSA, and the U.S. Surveillance State.

Recalling his first encounter with Snowden, Greenwald says: "The big question was: 'How are we going to know that it’s you? We know nothing about you. We don’t know how old you are, what you look like, or what your race is, or even your gender.' And [Snowden] said, 'You’ll know me because I’ll be holding in my left hand a Rubik’s cube.' And so he walked in, was holding a Rubik’s cube, came over to us, introduced himself, and that was how we met him." More

How Mushrooms Can Help Save the World (audio)

Last Days of the Buddha
Sister Vajira and Francis Story, translators (DN 16)
1. Thus have I heard....
56. Then the Buddha spoke to Ven. Ananda, saying: "It may come to pass, Ananda, that someone will cause remorse to Cunda the metalworker [who accidentally fed the Buddha poisonous mushrooms* and brought about his "final passing," parinirvana, after he had earlier relinquished the will to carry on after having accomplished all of his goals], saying:

• Life of the Buddha in Pictures
  

"'It is no gain to you, friend Cunda, but a loss, that it was from you the Tathagata took his last alms meal, and then came to his end.' Then, Ananda, the remorse of Cunda should be dispelled after this manner:

"'It is a gain to you, friend Cunda, a blessing that the Tathagata took his last alms meal from you, and then came to his end. For, friend, face to face with the Blessed One I have heard and learned:

"There are two offerings of food which are of equal fruition, of equal outcome, exceeding in grandeur the fruition and result of any other offerings of food. Which two? The one partaken of by the Tathagata before becoming fully enlightened in unsurpassed, supreme enlightenment, and the one partaken of by the Tathagata before passing into the state of nirvana in which no element of clinging remains. By his deed the worthy Cunda has accumulated merit which makes for long life, beauty, well being, glory, heavenly rebirth, and sovereignty."'

Thus, Ananda, the remorse of Cunda the metalworker should be dispelled."

57. Then the Buddha, understanding that matter, breathed forth the solemn utterance:

Who gives, his virtues shall increase;
Who is self-curbed, no hatred bears;
Whoso is skilled in virtue, harm shuns,
And by the rooting out of lust and hate
And all delusion, comes to be at peace.

Mushrooms?
*NOTE: Sukara-maddava: a controversial term which has therefore been left untranslated. Sukara = pig; maddava = soft, tender, delicate. Hence two alternative renderings of the compound are possible: (1) the tender parts of a pig or boar; (2) what is enjoyed by pigs and boars.

In the latter meaning, the term has been thought to refer to a mushroom or truffle, or a yam or tuber. K.E. Neumann, in the preface to his German translation of the Middle-Length Discourses (Majjhima Nikaya), quotes from an Indian compendium of medicinal plants, the Rajanigantu, several plants beginning with sukara.

The ancient commentary to this text gives three alternative explanations:

1. the flesh from a single first-born (wild) pig, neither too young nor too old, which had come to hand naturally, that is, without being intentionally killed;
   
2. a preparation of soft boiled rice cooked with the five dairy-products;
3. a kind of alchemical elixir (rasayanavidhi). Dhammapala, in his commentary to Udana VIII.5, gives, in addition, young bamboo shoots trampled by pigs (sukarehi maddita-vamsakaliro). More
   

US cyber security "embarrassing"

Maggie Shiels, Technology reporter (BBC News, Silicon Valley)

Experts say the cyber threat is increasing at an accelerating rate.

America's cybersecurity has been described as "broken" by one industry expert and as "childlike" by another.

The criticism comes as President Obama prepares to release the results of a review he ordered.

Tim Mather, chief security strategist for RSA, told BBC News "the approach we have relied on for years has effectively run out of steam."

Meanwhile, Alan Paller from the SANS Institute said the government's cyber defenses were "embarrassing." More>>
