The Bounty (1984)
Bligh: Well gentlemen, between ourselves and home lies 2300 sea miles, the Endeavor Straits and the Great Barrier Reef. Now the crew is deeply demoralized and I must accept, as every captain must, the inevitable and theoretical responsibility for that. The actual and immediate responsibility, however, I place on you, my fellow officers who met this crisis with lethargy, impudence and flagrant defiance, publicly uttered. And perhaps for that I am also to blame. I counted on a strength of character which you do not possess. However, the cure for our predicament is discipline and I shall apply it with an even hand of course, but most where it is most required.

I still have a lot of that Prozac left. Don't know if it is fatal to take too many of those though. It may just leave me braindead, or partially paralyzed, or just leave me in a coma for awhile while ruining some of my organs, liver I think, or maybe it's the kidneys. And of course, I can just hear you now, if I wasn't dead: "But it's not our fault he's dead, he could have taken drugs like Prozac while we were torturing him, but no, he chose to let us torture him while he had a clear mind."
A search for "fatal prozac overdose" didn't reveal anything useful. But, of course, what an ironic way to die.
This gives new meaning to the concept of "suicide watch."

After I left the VA, based on some information I found, I determined that they are treating me for PTSD. They just won't give me an official diagnosis because that means I could get disability payments for it and it seems the government is tightening the criteria for who receives the payments. On one hand I talked to people that were getting the payments, something like $2300 a month, for experiences a lot lighter than mine, but on the other I don't really care. I am not disabled. I am just experiencing some kind of restriction, some kind of external influences that restrict how I control the direction of my life. And even though I suffer from PTSD which is accompanied by depression, the PTSD is not that severe, although the depression has been at times over the past decade. I was getting a handle on it though but I don't tolerate this meddling into my personal life by you spying bastards. I suspect it was the very fact I was working through these problems with depression without the need for medication or other treatment that generated the interest in my personal life. As long as I can get back to a stable life, without the feeling that people are trying to interfere in my personal life, as long as I can get back to doing something productive and especially get back into Ironman physical condition, I will be fine. So even if they were to give me an offical diagnosis of PTSD I wouldn't accept it because disabled people, not to be confused with people with handicaps, do not do Ironman triathlon.

REDMOND, Wash. -- What a difference a year and a lot of executive bullshit make. Eight out of 10 geeks now want to tell their managers to "pack sand."

Antidepressants fail to cure the symptoms of major depression in half of all patients with the disease even if they receive the best possible care, according to a definitive government study released yesterday.
Significant numbers of patients continue to experience symptoms such as sadness, low energy and hopelessness after intensive treatment, even as about an equal number report an end to such problems -- a result that quickly lent itself to interpretations that the glass was either half empty or half full.
The $35 million taxpayer-funded study was the largest trial of its kind ever conducted. It provided what industry-sponsored trials have rarely captured: Rather than merely ask whether patients are getting better, the study asked what patients most care about -- whether depression can be made to disappear altogether.

By cheating, Bart wins the Springfield marathon. When an angry mob threatens, a stranger offers him escape. Bart accepts, and learns the stranger is called L.T. Smash. He offers Bart a job in a boy band, which he takes. The band, Party Posse, consists of: "Caly" (Bart), "Krit" (Nelson Muntz), "P.G." (Ralph Wiggum), and "Wowz" (Milhouse Van Houten). An instant hit, they even get a fruit basket from 'N Sync. The band, however, cannot sing and uses a NASA-built device that gives them older, sexier voices (the Posse's musical numbers were actually recorded for the episode by 'N Sync).
The band produces a song entitled "Drop Da Bomb", but Lisa notices a strange lyric: "Yvan Eht Nioj". Playing the song backwards, she discovers it says "Join the Navy" (spelled backwards) -- the government is recruiting people through subliminal messages. Lisa also discovers that "L.T." is actually Lieutenant Smash and is part of a government program using popular singers for recruitment, involving acts from Elvis Presley to KISS.
The Party Posse performs a concert on an aircraft carrier. During the first song (which also contains subliminal messages), L.T. learns from his superior officer that MAD Magazine's next issue will poke fun at Party Posse. Afraid the issue will destroy "Project Boy Band", the admiral shuts off the band's singing machine, exposing that they have no singing talent. However, L.T. goes crazy and activates the carrier's engines. Everyone (except for Party Posse and Homer) jumps off in terror. L.T. takes the ship to New York City and aims the ship's missiles at the MAD Magazine building. Even though 'N Sync arrives with a song to stop L.T., he launches the ship's missiles and destroys the MAD building.

Independence Day (or ID4) is an American action movie about an attempted alien takeover of Earth. The movie features several scenes of major landmarks being destroyed by the aliens, such as the First Interstate World Center, the Empire State Building, the White House, Big Ben, the Sydney Opera House, the Statue of Liberty and the Eiffel Tower. The film's success was partially credited to an extensive marketing campaign which began with a dramatic commercial during Super Bowl XXX. The movie was scheduled for release on Wednesday, July 3, 1996, but due to the high level of anticipation for the film, many theaters began showing it on the evening of July 2, the same day the action in the film begins.

According to Lipke, EMDR is a method of psychotherapy that integrates awareness principles of modern psychotherapy with the sensory/motor activity of eye movement, in some ways similar to what one might observe during the rapid eye movement a person experiences while dreaming.
“What the eye movement does is help process those painful feelings so they are no longer intrusive,” said Karen Paddock, the program manager for the North Chicago Stress Disorder Treatment Program. “We know from research conducted years ago that REM sleep does help people process events in their lives. We know people with PTSD generally have reduced or irregular REM sleep so we induce something similar to REM sleep with EMDR.”
According to the theory behind EMDR, the intrusive thoughts or flashbacks associated with severe PTSD are, in the simplest terms, unprocessed information. Instead of having a memory they can reflect on, someone with PTSD relives the stress of that situation as if it happens to them all over again. The eye movement in EMDR is meant to process that information so it will feel more like a memory.
[What the hell?? Or to make it feel like something else? I was thinking about this today, could they make it feel like a memory of a thought?]
“Some long-term CBT advocates have difficulty accepting that many of the studies supporting EMDR are very good science,” Lipke said. “According to the theory underlying CBT, EMDR shouldn't work as well as it does. There are several studies showing that EMDR-type eye movements have clear effect on memory storage.”
[Does that mean they can block memories?]
In VA alone, Lipke has conducted seven training sessions so far, and has done several DoD training seminars, including a regular clinic for physicians at the neighboring Great Lakes Naval Training Station, the Navy's premiere training ground for all enlisted troops.

There was that dream I had the other night, where I was inside a missile. I remembered today the similarity with this movie, in that Cochrane converted an ICBM into his warp ship. But why would someone create a connection between me and Cochrane? I didn't create warp drive in the past only to have someone block my memory of that, did I? It's funny, when I read something the other day about Data arguing with Einstein, it reminded me of something I was writing in my journal back in the early '90s. I was wondering why it was impossible to travel faster than the speed of light. A couple years ago I was writing about it again. The idea presented itself to me about why it was impossible, something about atoms not being able to work because electrons could not transfer energy faster than the speed of light. I wondered if it was possible to create some kind of process to transfer energy to those atoms, not unlike a cell's mitochondria works. Today I have been wondering if anything I remember about the past is real. Do I have a different past? Am I really who I think I am? The stuff I imagine happening to me sometimes, did that stuff really happen? I wonder if these movies and tv shows have actually been sort of inoculations, to keep me from questioning my reality. I do question reality sometimes, but it wasn't until I saw that Matrix movie a while back, did I really start to wonder about reality. But it didn't seem to matter, I wasn't overly concerned that I may be living that kind of false reality. I still don't think I am living such an extreme unreality as in the Matrix, but I wonder if there is a divergence point in my life, a shadow, a distorted period. Or have I been living a life like in the movie Soldier, or maybe like in Blade Runner, where Rachael, and I assume Harrison Ford's character, have false memories of their life. Am I Harrison Ford's character in this reality? A replicant searching for replicants? I haven't been able to follow Battlestar Galactica this past year, but I think that theme is showing up there, with Chief Tyrol.

Following the destruction of the USS Enterprise-D in Star Trek: Generations, the bridge crew, with the exception of Worf, were transferred to a new Sovereign class starship, the USS Enterprise-E. Shortly before the beginning of the film, a Borg cube ship has entered Federation space on a course for Earth. However, instead of stationing their most advanced vessel among the fleet assembled to protect Earth, Starfleet has assigned the Enterprise to patrol the Romulan Neutral Zone. Starfleet orders Jean-Luc Picard to do so in case the Romulans decide to take advantage of the situation. However, he is fully aware that the real reason is that, because of Captain Jean-Luc Picard's past experience with the Borg, Starfleet considers him too unstable to lead a ship into battle against them.

The end of an era for naval legend
Sir Galahad was the first ship to sail into Umm Qasr during the Iraq war
Her name will always be associated with one of the darkest days in recent British military and naval history.
It was on the 8 June, 1982, that Sir Galahad and her sister ship RFA Sir Tristram came under attack in Bluff Cove at the height of the British operation to recover the islands from their Argentine invaders.
The captain of Sir Galahad, Phil Roberts, later gave his account of the day.
"It all happened very suddenly. The planes came out of nowhere and they bombed us and the ship was set on fire very rapidly," Capt Roberts said.
"We had to abandon ship fairly quickly. The scene was horrific."

I woke up from a dream earlier that was Navy related. There were several images that I remembered from the dream that I cannot articulate though. But what I remember is that I was on ship, probably a CVN, and we were part of a group of Navy ships. We were out to sea but it seemed to be a small sea, or maybe a large bay off the ocean. Something about restricted maneuverability; part of the dream I can't articulate. The plot to the dream is that we were opposing an enemy force that was in the same area. It seems there was an enemy carrier there too. I somehow infiltrated the enemy carrier after leaving my carrier. At some point, I can remember trying to determine if two ships far off in the distance and approaching was the Perry-class FFG and Burke-class DDG part of our group. Then I might have been on one of our submarines that was trailing the enemy carrier but I can't actually visualize the submarine. What I can visualize is that I was underwater and I could clearly see 3 enemy submarines guarding the enemy carrier. It seems improbable the I could see such a configuration in real life though as I doubt that would be close enough, even if the water was clear enough, to see all of those ships together like that. I think I might have directed the Burke-class DDG to fire at the enemy submarines. I can't remember what happened after that but I do remember it was an important detail during the dream that the 3 enemy submarines had disappeared. Then I was on the enemy carrier. I planted two small but very powerful bombs and I actually stayed in the compartment where they exploded. I took cover behind something but that seems ridiculous considering that the explosions sunk the enemy carrier. I have some kind of image of a large ocean wave after the explosions. Then I dived out a screen window on the carrier, but the first one I tried going through was too narrow and I dived through the other one, knocking off the screen as I went out, which seems a quirky detail. Then I was falling feet first into the water that was a very long ways below. There were a lot of survivors from the carrier already in the water and I almost hit one as I entered the water. I started swimming and it seemed that it didn't take me very long until I could touch the bottom and I could walk up the shore. There were a lot of people around. It wasn't so much the kind of beach you would imagine, but it seemed to be the kind of crowd you would see at a beach, although I can't remember any people getting suntans. I remember talking to Thedia and her mother but it gets kind of fuzzy at that point. I want to say I was wearing the khaki uniform of a U.S. Navy officer and I had on an orange kapok lifejacket, although it seemed smaller than the kapok's I remember. I think Thedia asked me something about whether I had caused that enemy carrier to sink but I told her I couldn't talk about it. Then I might have activated a rescue beacon in the lifejacket and a USN Seahawk helo flew in and picked me up.

Some time after I wrote about that dream this morning, I started thinking that what I was really dreaming about was when the troop carrier Sir Galahad was bombed. I started thinking later that I was standing on deck and watched two bombs drop from an Argentine jet and explode near me just before I dived behind a bulkhead or something. There is more to this than I can figure out how to articulate. I just can't put it into words because...I don't know. I guess that after the bombs exploded, I might have been knocked unconscious and by the time I came around, a lot of people had already jumped over board and then I jumped over board. The ship must have been near the shore so it didn't take me long to swim in. I wonder if there isn't something mixed into that dream with the events on the Sheffield and then the Roberts. The three submarines make me think about the Roberts. But, just as I was writing that, I thought, or was it 3rd Marines? Does such a unit even exist? But maybe that is why the submarines - it was actually the Marines, or whatever the British call them, I am not certain.

That's why I had those brown boots. I had a lighter pair that looked like a style of construction boots that were actually Nike boots. Then I had a really good pair of darker brown boots that I can remember wearing up until I lived at Redmond. I felt there was some kind of "buzz" around that, not unlike Lynn laughing at my "Buzz Off" bicycle seat, but I never could fully understand what it all meant.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treasure_Island
Treasure Island is an adventure novel by author Robert Louis Stevenson, narrating a tale of "buccaneers and buried gold". First published as a book in 1883, it was originally serialised in the children's magazine Young Folks between 1881-82 under the title The Sea Cook, or Treasure Island.
Traditionally considered a coming-of-age story, it is one of the most frequently dramatised of all novels. The influence of Treasure Island on popular perception of pirates is vast, including treasure maps with an 'X', schooners, the Black Spot, tropical islands, and one-legged seamen with parrots on their shoulders.

"Life In The Fast Lane"
Life in the fast lane
Surely make you lose your mind
Life in the fast lane, everything all the time
Life in the fast lane, uh huh
Blowin' and burnin', blinded by thirst
They didn't see the stop sign,
took a turn for the worse
She said, "Listen, baby. You can hear the engine
ring. We've been up and down this highway;
haven't seen a goddam thing."
He said, "Call the doctor. I think I'm gonna crash."
"The doctor say he's comin', but you gotta pay him cash."
They went rushin' down that freeway,
messed around and got lost

It was a monday
A day like any other day
I left a small town
For the apple in decay
It was my destiny
Its what we needed to do
They were telling me
Im telling you
I was inside looking outside
The millions of faces
But still Im alone
Waiting, hours of waiting
Paying a penance
I was longing for home
Im looking out for the two of us
I hope well be here when theyre through with us
I was inside looking outside
Oh the millions of faces
But still Im alone
Waiting, hours of waiting
I could feel the tension
I was longing for home
Im looking out for the two of us
And I hope well be here when theyre through with us
Im coming home
Monday, sad, sad monday
Shes waiting for me
But Im a long, long way from home
Sad, sad monday
Shes waiting for me

Nobody knows where you are, how near or how far.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Pile on many more layers and I'll be joining you there.

And we'll bask in the shadow of yesterday's triumph,

Come on you boy child, you winner and loser,
come on you miner for truth and delusion, and shine

A highlight of the mission took place on the fourth day when astronauts McCandless and Stewart performed the first untethered space walk operating the Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU) for the first time. McCandless -- the first human Earth-orbiting satellite -- ventured out 320 feet (98 m) from the orbiter, while Stewart tested the "work station" foot restraint at the end of the Remote Manipulator System. The seventh day of the mission, both astronauts performed an EVA to practice capture procedures for the Solar Maximum Mission satellite retrieval and repair operation planned for the next mission, STS-41-C.

Shine On You Crazy Diamond (I-V) Lyrics
Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there's a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

You launch them too soon...
1:49:51
...the warheads could find
their way back home to Earth.
1:49:54
Too late, they'd run out of fuel
and then you'd be stuck with them.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_sullivans
The Sullivans was an Australian made drama television series produced by Crawford Productions which ran from 1976 until 1983. The series told the story of an average middle-class Melbourne family and the effect World War II had on their lives. It was a consistent ratings success in Australia, and also became popular in the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Ireland and New Zealand.

"The Sullivans" (1976)
TV series 1976-1983
Release Date: 15 November 1976 (Australia)
Mel Gibson ... Ray Henderson
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sullivan_brothers
The Sullivan brothers were five siblings who all died during the same incident in World War II, the sinking of the light cruiser USS Juneau (CL-52), the vessel on which they all served.
The Navy named two destroyers The Sullivans to honor the brothers: The Sullivans (DDG-68) and The Sullivans (DD-537). These were the first American navy ships ever to be named after more than one person. The motto for both ships was the very motto of the Sullivan brothers, "We stick together."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_war
A world war is a war affecting the majority of the world's major nations. World wars usually span multiple continents, and are devastating.
The term has usually been applied to two conflicts of unprecedented scale and slaughter that occurred during the 20th century. They were the First World War, also known as the Great War (1914–1918) and the Second World War (1939–1945).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lofton_Henderson
Lofton R. Henderson (b. 24 May 1903, Lorain, Ohio – 4 June 1942) was a naval aviator in the United States Marine Corps during World War II. He was the commanding officer of VMSB-241 at the Battle of Midway and is recognized as the first Marine aviator to die during that battle while leading his squadron to attack the Japanese carrier forces.
Navy Cross citation
The Navy Cross is presented to Lofton R. Henderson, Major, U.S. Marine Corps, for extraordinary heroism as Squadron Commander of Marine Scout-Bombing Squadron TWO HUNDRED FORTY-ONE (VMSB- 241), during action against enemy Japanese forces in the Battle of Midway on June 4, 1942. With utter disregard for his own personal safety, Major Henderson, with keen judgment and courageous aggressiveness in the face of strong enemy fighter opposition, led his squadron in an attack which contributed materially to the defeat of the enemy. He was subsequently reported as missing it action. It is believed he gallantly gave up his life in the service of his country.

Memorable quotes for
In Harm's Way (1965)
Admiral Kimmel: It is my duty to inform you that you have been relieved of your command, pending the findings of a court of inquiry.
Captain Torrey: I don't understand, sir.
Admiral Kimmel: You weren't zig-zagging when you took the two torpedoes.
Captain Torrey: I was stretching my fuel, sir.
Admiral Kimmel: If you didn't have fuel to complete your mission, why didn't you turn back for Pearl?
Captain Torrey: My mission was to intercept and engage an enemy of greatly superior strength, sir. I could only take that one way: that my group was expendable.
Admiral Kimmel: I doubt if a court of inquiry will accept that. Captain, you're about to be caught in a vacuum between a peacetime Navy and a wartime Navy. Six months from now, they'll be making admirals out of captains who exhibit some guts. But right now, they're only reacting to the Pearl Harbor disaster, and punishment is order-of-the-day. Of course, you don't have to abide by what a court of inquiry decides. You can ask for general court-martial, get yourself a couple of crack sea lawyers, and make a fight of it.
Captain Torrey: I wouldn't care to do that, sir.
Admiral Kimmel: Why not?
Captain Torrey: Second-generation Navy, Admiral.
Admiral Kimmel: I see. I don't plan to ask for court-martial either, Captain, and I've lost a fleet. So I expect we'll both just take what they give us, and trust it will be a useful job somewhere.
Captain Torrey: Yes, sir.
Admiral Kimmel: Good luck.
Captain Torrey: Good luck to you, sir.

CHAPTER 115--TREASON, SEDITION, AND SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITIES
Sec. 2381. Treason
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_flag
False flag operations are covert operations conducted by governments, corporations, or other organizations, which are designed to appear as if they are being carried out by other entities. The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colors; that is, flying the flag of a country other than one's own.
In espionage the false flag technique is used to recruit people into spying or stealing critical documents, by convincing them that they are working for a friendly government or their own government.
Political campaigning has a long history of this tactic in various forms, including in person, print media and electronically in recent years. This can involve when supporters of one candidate pose as supporters of another, or act as “straw men” for their preferred candidate to debate against.
