Talk About Propaganda
I'm not a male chauvinist, but when these people DELIBERATELY have on their show two "experts" to discuss the topic with one being a seemingly very intelligent successful woman with quick, smart answers, well-dressed and confident, and the man being a child-like moron who wrote a book with an immature title and stumbles around for words, dressed like a dork trying to look "hip", it's no wonder this world is the way it is. The woman is taught to have no need for the man, thinking she can do it all on her own. She is taught by outsiders to be head of the house, and children have limited to no influence from the father on their upbringing. Just because it has become a rampant reality does not mean one has to conform to this ideology. For a woman to act as if she is better than the man (and not the body working with him) is like a chicken with its head cut off: running wild, ready to be plucked and thrown in the oven.

Siren
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (with additional comments)
In Greek mythology, the Sirens (Greek singular: Σειρήν Seirēn; Greek plural: Σειρῆνες Seirēnes) were dangerous and beautiful creatures, portrayed as femme fatales who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island. Roman poets placed them on some small islands called Sirenum scopuli. In some later, rationalized traditions, the literal geography of the "flowery" island of Anthemoessa, or Anthemusa,[1] is fixed: sometimes onCape Pelorum and at others in the islands known as the Sirenuse, near Paestum, or in Capreae.[2] All such locations were surrounded by cliffs and rocks.
When the Sirens were given a name of their own they were considered the daughters of the river god Achelous, fathered upon Terpsichore, Melpomene, Sterope, or Chthon (the Earth; in Euripides' Helen 167, Helen in her anguish calls upon "Winged maidens, daughters of the Earth"). Although they lured mariners, for the Greeks the Sirens in their "meadow starred with flowers" were not sea deities. Roman writers linked the Sirens more closely to the sea, as daughters of Phorcys.[3]Sirens are found in many Greek stories, particularly in Homer's Odyssey.
Sirens and death
According to Ovid (Metamorphoses V, 551), the Sirens were the companions of young Persephone and were given wings by Demeter to search for Persephone when she was abducted. However, the Fabulae of Hyginus has Demeter cursing the Sirens for failing to intervene in the abduction of Persephone.
The Sirens might be called the Muses of the lower world, Walter Copland Perry observed: "Their song, though irresistibly sweet, was no less sad than sweet, and lapped both body and soul in a fatal lethargy, the forerunner of death and corruption."[10] Their song is continually calling on Persephone. The term "siren song" refers to an appeal that is hard to resist but that, if heeded, will lead to a bad conclusion. Later writers have inferred that the Sirens were anthropophagous, based on Circe's description of them "lolling there in their meadow, round them heaps of corpses rotting away, rags of skin shriveling on their bones."[11] As Jane Ellen Harrison notes of "The Ker as siren:" "It is strange and beautiful that Homer should make the Sirens appeal to the spirit, not to the flesh."[12] For the matter of the siren song is a promise to Odysseus of mantic truths; with a false promise that he will live to tell them, they sing,
Once he hears to his heart's content, sails on, a wiser man.
We know all the pains that the Greeks and Trojans once endured
on the spreading plain of Troy when the gods willed it so—
all that comes to pass on the fertile earth, we know it all![13]
"They are mantic creatures like the Sphinx with whom they have much in common, knowing both the past and the future," Harrison observed. "Their song takes effect at midday, in a windless calm. The end of that song is death."[14] That the sailors' flesh is rotting away, though, would suggest it has not been eaten. It has been suggested that, with their feathers stolen, their divine nature kept them alive, but unable to feed for their visitors, who starved to death by refusing to leave.[15]
According to Hyginus, sirens were fated to live only until the mortals who heard their songs were able to pass by them.[16]
The first century Roman historian Pliny the Elder discounted Sirens as pure fable, "although Dinon, the father of Clearchus, a celebrated writer, asserts that they exist in India, and that they charm men by their song, and, having first lulled them to sleep, tear them to pieces."[18] In his notebooks Leonardo da Vinci wrote of the Siren, "The siren sings so sweetly that she lulls the mariners to sleep; then she climbs upon the ships and kills the sleeping mariners."
In 1917, Franz Kafka wrote in The Silence of the Sirens, "Now the Sirens have a still more fatal weapon than their song, namely their silence. And though admittedly such a thing never happened, it is still conceivable that someone might possibly have escaped from their singing; but from their silence certainly never."
In Argonautica (4.891–919), Jason had been warned by Chiron that Orpheus would be necessary in his journey. When Orpheus heard their voices, he drew out his lyre and played his music more beautifully than they, drowning out their voices. One of the crew, however, the sharp-eared hero Butes, heard the song and leapt into the sea, but he was caught up and carried safely away by the goddess Aphrodite.
Odysseus was curious as to what the Sirens sang to him, so, on Circe's advice, he had all of his sailors plug their ears with beeswax and tie him to the mast. He ordered his men to leave him tied tightly to the mast, no matter how much he would beg. When he heard their beautiful song, he ordered the sailors to untie him but they bound him tighter. When they had passed out of earshot, Odysseus demonstrated with his frowns to be released.[21]
Some post-Homeric authors state that the Sirens were fated to die if someone heard their singing and escaped them, and that after Odysseus passed by they therefore flung themselves into the water and perished.[22] It is also said that Hera, queen of the gods, persuaded the Sirens to enter a singing contest with the Muses. The Muses won the competition and then plucked out all of the Sirens' feathers and made crowns out of them.[23] Out of their anguish from losing the competition, writes Stephanus of Byzantium, the Sirens turned white and fell into the sea at Aptera ("featherless"), where they formed the islands in the bay that were called Souda (modern Lefkai).[24]
Sirens continued to be used as a symbol for the dangerous temptation embodied by women regularly throughoutChristian art of the medieval era; however, in the 17th century, some Jesuit writers began to assert their actual existence, including Cornelius a Lapide, who said of Woman, "her glance is that of the fabled basilisk, her voice a siren's voice—with her voice she enchants, with her beauty she deprives of reason—voice and sight alike deal destruction and death."[26] Antonio de Lorea also argued for their existence, and Athanasius Kircher argued that compartments must have been built for them aboard Noah's Ark.[27]
By the fourth century, when pagan beliefs were overtaken byChristianity (DIDN"T HAPPEN), belief in literal sirens was discouraged. Although the following craftily implemented their existence (whether physical or spiritual does not matter) into their form of "Christianity". Jerome, who produced the Latin Vulgate version of the Scriptures, used the word "sirens" to translate Hebrew tenim (jackals) in Isaiah 13:22, and also to translate a word for "owls" in Jeremiah 50:39, this was explained by Ambrose (FALSE Teacher) to be a mere symbol or allegory for worldly temptations, and not an endorsement of the Greek myth.[25]

By the fourth century, when pagan beliefs were overtaken by
Charles Burney expounded c. 1789, in A General History of Music: "The name, according to Bochart, who derives it from the Phoenician, implies a songstress. Hence it is probable, that in ancient times there may have been excellent singers, but of corrupt morals, on the coast of Sicily, who by seducing voyagers, gave rise to this fable."[29] John Lemprière in his Classical Dictionary (1827) wrote, "Some suppose that the Sirens were a number of lascivious women in Sicily, who prostituted themselves to strangers, and made them forget their pursuits while drowned in unlawful pleasures. The etymology of Bochart, who deduces the name from a Phoenician term denoting a songstress, favours the explanation given of the fable by Damm.[30] This distinguished critic makes the Sirens to have been excellent singers, and divesting the fables respecting them of all their terrific features, he supposes that by the charms of music and song they detained travellers, and made them altogether forgetful of their native land."[31]
The EarlyChristian euhemerist interpretation of mythologized human beings received a long-lasting boost from Isidore's Etymologiae.[28] "They [the Greeks] imagine that 'there were three Sirens, part virgins, part birds,' with wings and claws. 'One of them sang, another played the flute, the third the lyre. They drew sailors, decoyed by song, to shipwreck. According to the truth, however, they were prostitutes who led travelers down to poverty and were said to impose shipwreck on them.' They had wings and claws because Love flies and wounds (FALSE! This implies their existence; whether physical or spiritual does not matter!). They are said to have stayed in the waves because a wave created Venus."Such euhemerist interpretations have been abandoned since the later 19th century, in favour of analyses of Greek mythology in terms of historical Greek social structure and their cultural system, and the Greek taxonomy of the spiritual world.[citation needed]

The Game (1997)
The Game (1997)
Director:
David FincherWriters:
John D. Brancato, Michael Ferris
This movie shows a lot. Only, don't be deceived. The end shows him being "brought back from the dead" after a false, but voluntary, suicide, being received by the "woman-in-red"-pregnant with someone else's baby ex-wife, and voluntarily paying for part of "the game" they put him through. Complete with actors playing real life roles and fake shooting events all pre-planned, this movie has many warning signs that the average movie-goer simply finds entertaining. Don't let them fool you with their "identity theft" surveillance and snooping news stories. This is spiritual and psychological as the covers image even shows. A battle over hearts and minds. As the news reporter says to him through the television, don't call them "asking what the object of the game is. Figuring that out is the object of the game." Not the "Game of Life". The movie "The Game". Life is not a game. Death is a game. As in a relationship, love does not play games and does not deceive. To use lies and deceit, theft, murder, shame and guilt only brings about death. A voluntary, real spiritual death, or "suicide", brings about life and peace. It cannot be forced, and it should not be stopped. The world itself teaches you that assisted suicide is the same as murder and that doctors induce labor through administering mind-altering drugs, or an Epidural, in order to force childbirth and in an effort to reduce the sensation of pain. Pain is essential in achieving life. I'm not talking drugs here. I'm talking about altering the mind. One has to be willing to naturally go through a spiritual death and childbirth. He has said, "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
Many more clues are hidden throughout the movie. Here are some:
1) a key pulled from the mouth of the clown and what the key goes to;
2) "Consumer Recreation Services";
3) paranoia created by the enemy, yet he has a sense of pride about knowing just a little;
4) running from authority and the "dogs";
5) the notion she believes that garbage would break their fall;
6) his love interest's "shame";
and many others.

Dan Fuselier (Lead FBI Investigator on Columbine)
FBI investigator's son linked to case
By Kevin Vaughan and Hector Gutierrez
Associated PressLITTLETON — One of the students who helped produce a 1997 video that's similar to the April 20 assault on Columbine High School is the son of the FBI's lead agent in the investigation.
The disclosure came as FBI agents sought lie-detector tests on people who were close to Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, the two gunmen who stormed Columbine.
FBI agent Dwayne Fuselier, a psychologist, is one of three investigators heading the probe of the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history.
His son, 19-year-old Scott Fuselier, was one of those who helped produce the 1997 film, which has not been linked to Harris or Klebold.
In a call to the agent's home, a woman who answered the phone said, "Scott and the boys that are with that movie don't want to talk about it."
In a later call, Dwayne Fuselier, refused to comment.
"You can stop right there — nothing, goodbye," he said Thursday evening when a reporter began asking about his son's connection to the video.
The film depicts gun-toting, trench coat-wearing students moving through Columbine's halls and ends with a special-effects explosion of the school. The videotape was obtained by the syndicated television show Inside Edition. It was broadcast Wednesday.
A separate videotape, produced later by Harris and Klebold, shows gunmen shooting down a student who was harassing a classmate, according to students who've seen it.
When asked about the connection between Fuselier's son and the 1997 movie, FBI spokesman Gary Gomez said: "That's a non-issue, and I'm not going to comment on what kids are making in their video productions."
Asked whether the FBI would be concerned if the agent's son had been involved in making the video, Gomez said: "No, there would be no concern by the FBI."
Gomez said the video was a spoof on a mad scientist and had no similarities to the tape that Harris and Klebold produced, and that any inquiries about it would have to be made to Jefferson County school officials.
A student who helped in the production of the film, Brooks Brown, said the film looks "eerie" today, given what occurred at Columbine a little more than two weeks ago.
"It was a parody, done in humor," Brown said.
Brown, an underclassman when the film was made, said he had a small hand in editing it. He said it was supposed to spoof a play called "Get Smart."
On April 20, Harris, 18, and Klebold, 17, donned trench coats then stormed Columbine with guns and bombs, killing 12 students and a teacher and wounding 23 people before they took their own lives.
Among their weapons was a large propane bomb in the school's cafeteria that officials say would have severely damaged Columbine if it had detonated.
Scott Fuselier graduated from Columbine in 1997.
Brown said he is attending college out of state, where he is studying film production. The younger Fuselier could not be reached for comment.
Dwayne Fuselier, 51, is assisting Jefferson County sheriff's Capt. Dan Harris and Lt. John Kiekbusch in leading the investigation.
Fuselier is best known as one of the top negotiators in the "Freeman" standoff in Montana. He is a former member of an elite FBI squad known as the Crisis Management Unit.
Scott Fuselier is not considered a suspect in the April 20 shootings.
End article excerpt
Dwayne Fuselier is a psychologist whose history shows a study in hostage negotiations and "Stockholm Syndrome." The idea that his son, along with the characters in the play Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, made amateur movies similar to the shooting, or movies at all for that matter, tells me that it was a staged drill. Just as the Boston Marathon was a "training exercise" Columbine was meant as a training exercise for the viewing public. His studies were being continued using the viewing public as "guinea pigs" and "Placing the Stockholm Syndrome in Perspective" as they titled this article in the FBI Law Enforcement Bulletin published 7/1999.
Also, like I've mentioned in my video "Hollywood News Views & Clues (Remix)", the fact that the FBI has a bulletin posted on their website which seemingly is intended for its agents is made public is another item that they have hidden in plain sight.
