The Lazarus Project (2008)





I had never even heard of that title until I just happened to notice the DVD on the shelf in the grocery store a few days ago.

Oh, God. I think as I am watching it just now that my recent dreams foreshadow what I am now seeing on the DVD.

And I must resist.

But what am I resisting????!!!

Am I resisting, for the sake of my sanity, what I write about now?

I resisted not writing about that dream that I awoke from and got out of bed and that I thought about as I sat down at my desk and I thought about how it was perhaps not the most vivid dream I have had but it was still pretty vivid.

I feel this great compulsion in my mind, until now, to not write about it.

I thought about the dream because I was driving a moving van and I thought about how the moving van was similar in a color scheme to a Ryder moving truck, familiar to many people here in the United States, but in the dream I had gotten out of the truck and I was standing there and I was thinking about how the size of the truck I had rented was so small that I doubt even the meager possessions I have here in this apartment now would fit into that van, much less the fact that I had arrived at Jennifer's apartment and I was getting her belongings because we were moving in together someplace else.

I was standing out there and I was aware of a parking lot that wasn't really visible in the dream but there was a lot of trees visible. I also did not know which of the four buildings in that apartment complex that Jennifer actually lived in.

I was standing beside the moving truck and I was next to one of the buildings and I was aware there was a church service in progress inside and I briefly glanced through the window and I could see people inside. A woman and another woman walked outside after that and I remember the one woman looking at me as she walked by.

I was waiting there for Jennifer but some details of the dream are gone now from my mind. I remember thinking again later, after being awake, that except for the color scheme, the moving truck actually resembled the helicopter hangar deck of that Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser of the United States Navy that I referenced later. I didn't think about that until waking up and during the dream, I was looking at what after waking would be the weatherdecks on either side of the hangar. I went inside the moving truck cargo section and there was more than enough room then. But then it was as though the moving truck had been converted into a recreational vehicle. I was standing in there and thinking about how I would move all the stuff in there for transport but already in there was a bed in the center of of the cargo section and I saw a console television set on the floor that I turned on but then I turned off because I wasn't certain where the power was coming from and I didn't want to drain the battery for the engine. I noticed other stuff in there too.

I don't remember much else after that. Writing this all now this all seems pointless now.

But an important point that lingers is that I don't now what to believe. If I feel compelled to not record some details, such as thoughts, but especially certain dreams when I am sleeping and then awake from then - what?

Yes, that's it. Manipulation. My mind is being manipulated somehow. But how do I know that even now I am not being manipulated?

I was not surprised in the past few minutes that the CERN project is associated with that date. For the first time in months and months, just in the past few days, did I start to think consciously about looking over that collider project again. I had no idea that I would now make these associations here but yet in recent days, probably about the time I purchased that DVD in the grocery store, has the notion of the collider project become part of my conscious mind. Nothing else has come up that could have made me start thinking about that CERN project.










2008 DVD "The Lazarus Project" video:

00:42:22


Avery: This bus is not for you, Ben. You don't wanna be on it. You need to let go. Stop thinking about what you had. Just accept what you were given. A new home, a job. A chance to make what you did right.

Ben Garvey: I have to be with my wife and my daughter. They need me.

Avery: Ben, look at me. Death is here. Close to you. It's what you hear in the forest when you're all alone. Now, you cheated him once. You won't cheat him a second time. This bus won't take you home. Stay on it and you'll never see your family again. Make the right choice while you still can.

Winona Ryder Charged in $4,760 Shoplifting

Courts: Burglary, grand theft, drug possession and vandalism filing is 'out of whack,' her lawyer says.

February 02, 2002 ANNA GORMAN TIMES STAFF WRITER

Actress Winona Ryder was charged Friday with four felony counts for allegedly shoplifting about $4,760 in merchandise from a Beverly Hills department store and possessing a controlled substance in December, prosecutors said.

Ryder, 30, faces one count each of second-degree commercial burglary, grand theft of personal property, vandalism with more than $400 damage and possession of Oxycodone, a controlled substance, according to court papers filed Friday by the Los Angeles County district attorney's office.

She is free on $20,000 bail, but prosecutors have recommended an increase to $30,000. If she is convicted, she could face a sentence of three years and eight months in state prison.

Ryder's defense attorney, Mark Geragos, said that he was not surprised charges were filed, but that he believed their severity was "out of whack."

Geragos said his client had prescriptions for the drugs she was carrying and had receipts for the merchandise. She maintains her innocence, he said.

''The idea that they charged her with four felonies is mind-boggling,'' he said. ''I believe we're going to prevail.''

Ryder's publicist, Mara Buxbaum, issued a statement on her behalf:

"We are shocked at what appear to be grossly exaggerated charges," the statement said. "We look forward to the opportunity to explain and resolve these allegations."

District attorney's spokeswoman Sandi Gibbons said the reason for the charges was simple: "We had the evidence."

McVeigh's Apr. 26 Letter to Fox News

Thursday, April 26, 2001

The following letter has been authenticated and was sent to Fox News Correspondent Rita Cosby on April 26, 2001. The opening statement was a photocopied statement in McVeigh's writing. The question-and-answer section following it is clearly an original version in McVeigh's writing.

I explain herein why I bombed the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City. I explain this not for publicity, nor seeking to win an argument of right or wrong. I explain so that the record is clear as to my thinking and motivations in bombing a government installation.

I chose to bomb a federal building because such an action served more purposes than other options. Foremost, the bombing was a retaliatory strike; a counter attack, for the cumulative raids (and subsequent violence and damage) that federal agents had participated in over the preceding years

POW/MIA Recognition Day: Background

The following information is generously provided by the National League of POW/MIA Families:

Until July 18th, 1979, no commemoration was held to honor America's POW/MIAs, those returned and those still missing and unaccounted for from our nation's wars. That first year, resolutions were passed in the Congress and the national ceremony was held at the National Cathedral, Washington, D.C. The Missing Man formation was flown by the 1st Tactical Squadron, Langley AFB, Virginia. The Veterans Administration published a poster including only the letters "POW/MIA" and that format was continued until 1982 when a black and white drawing of a POW in harsh captivity was used to convey the urgency of the situation

John Kerry military service controversy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

During John Kerry's candidacy in the 2004 U.S. presidential campaign, a political issue that gained widespread public attention was Kerry's Vietnam war record. In television advertisements and a book called Unfit for Command, co-authored by John O'Neill and Jerome Corsi, the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth (SBVT), a 527 group later known as the Swift Vets and POWs for Truth, questioned details of his military service record and circumstances relating to the award of his combat medals. Their campaign against Kerry's presidential bid received widespread publicity, but was later discredited and gave rise to the neologism 'swiftboating', to describe an unfair or untrue political attack.


Navy Inspector General report on medals

In September 2004, Vice Admiral Ronald A. Route, the Navy Inspector General, completed a review of Kerry's combat medals, initiated at the request of Judicial Watch. In a memo to the Secretary of the Navy, Gordon R. England, Route stated:

Our examination found that existing documentation regarding the Silver Star, Bronze Star and Purple Heart medals indicates the awards approval process was properly followed. In particular, the senior officers who awarded the medals were properly delegated authority to do so. In addition, we found that they correctly followed the procedures in place at the time for approving these awards

Main article: Vietnam Veterans Against the War

After returning to the United States, Kerry joined the Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW). Then numbering about 20,000, VVAW was considered by some (including the administration of President Richard Nixon) to be an effective, if controversial, component of the antiwar movement. According to Nixon Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird, "I didn’t approve of what he did, but I understood the protesters quite well", and he declined two requests from the Navy to court martial Reserve Lieutenant Kerry over his antiwar activity.

Winona Ryder


Winona Jury Hears Closing Arguments

5 November 2002 WENN


The prosecutor in Winona Ryder's shoplifting trial told the jury yesterday that the actress may have been stealing "for the sheer thrill" and warned them not to give her special consideration because of her fame. The 31-year-old Mr. Deeds beauty has pleaded not guilty to charges of grand theft, burglary and vandalism for allegedly stealing $5,570 worth of goods from the Saks Fifth Avenue store in Beverly Hills, California last December. The closing arguments began Monday after the defense rested without calling the actress to testify. Superior Court Judge Elden Fox refused Ryder's attorney Mark Geragos' last-minute request to call another witness and the prosecution's attempt to bring in an admission allegedly written by the actress while she detained by security guards at Saks. In her closing argument, prosecutor Ann Rundle said, "The law does not say there is a higher standard of proof for celebrities. The law is the law is the law, no matter who you are. The law doesn't say only poor people steal. It must have occurred to some of you, 'Why would Winona Ryder steal?' Nowhere does it say people steal because they have to. People steal out of greed, envy, spite, because it's there or for the thrill." And Rundle dismissed claims that the actress allegedly shoplifted as research for a forthcoming film role. Rundle said, "The law doesn't say crime is OK if your director told you to do it. And there is no evidence that a director told her to do it." In Geragos' final statement, he accused staff at the prestigious store of "a multitude of inconsistencies" in their testimony and suggested they had fabricated evidence to convict Ryder. Geragos noted how there was no footage of Ryder being detained in the security room and accused staff of planting scissors in the actress' possession.

1. Purpose. To provide guidance and regulations concerning awards available for recognizing individuals and units in the Naval Service.


2. Navy Cross

a. Authorization. 10 U.S.C. S6242.

b. Eligibility Requirements

(1) Awarded to individuals who, while serving in any capacity with the Navy or Marine Corps, distinguish themselves by extraordinary heroism, not justifying the award of the Medal of Honor.

(a) While engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States;

(b) While engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force; or

(c) While serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing armed force, in which the United States is not a belligerent party.

(2) To warrant this distinctive decoration, the act or execution of duty must be performed in the presence of great danger, or at great personal risk, and must be performed in such a manner as to set individuals apart from their shipmates or fellow Marines. An accumulation of minor acts of heroism normally does not justify the award. The high standards SECNAVINST 1650.1H demanded must be borne in mind when recommending the award.

I was directed by the Joint Chiefs to find a means of immobilizing him.
We accomplished that this morning by encasing him in a block of KL93,
a new plastic material stronger than steel.

- He's locked up tight as a drum. - All right. Now we concentrate on the man.
Up till now we've agreed upon the desirability of capturing this man alive.
We can no longer afford to be so particular.
We'll get him, alive if possible, but we must get him.

"Nobody Home"

I've got a little black book with my poems in
I've got a bag with a toothbrush and a comb in
When I'm a good dog they sometimes throw me a bone in
I got elastic bands keeping my shoes on
Got those swollen hand blues.
Got thirteen channels of shit on the T.V. to choose from
I've got electric light
And I've got second sight
I've got amazing powers of observation
And that is how I know
When I try to get through
On the telephone to you
There'll be nobody home
I've got the obligatory Hendrix perm
And I've got the inevitable pinhole burns
All down the front of my favourite satin shirt
I've got nicotine stains on my fingers
I've got a silver spoon on a chain
I've got a grand piano to prop up my mortal remains
I've got wild staring eyes
I've got a strong urge to fly
But I've got nowhere to fly to
Ooooh Babe when I pick up the phone
There's still nobody home
