"Underground" Group of Cadets Say Air Force Academy Controlled by Evangelicals

Considering the effectiveness of the Evangelical mind control cult, I'm not surprised that cadets are encouraged into it.

I don't know if this has anything to do with it. But my dad volunteered for the AF back in the heady days of Rock N Roll and Vietnam death. He wound up becoming an objector a little after he had already committed and wound up choosing the status of "medic". He was promised a gig with the AF being a "photographer". NOPE.

My dad I believe hides a lot of his impressions of this time behind some kind of an emotional wall he is still seeking to absolve himself from. He saw A LOT of death. (In many ways this is where 82_28s upbringing and personality comes from and why I post as I do). My dad was and is gentle as fuck. But I do not know my dad before he witnessed so much needless death in service to the corporate charade of the Cold War and what it did to mere kids, conscripted, worldwide as they were quickly becoming men -- raised themselves, mainly by abusive fathers who had to endure WWII and such.

When he came back to the states after his "tour", (It's "deployment" now), he apparently wanted to start a church and be it's preacher. My mom just told me this a couple of months ago. I had no idea he wanted to be a preacher.

Well, he wound up becoming a janitor part time at a mall in Denver (where he met my mom at a snack bar) and a nurse the other part of the time at a hospital nearby. All via the airforce. It has occurred to me, which was my point, that the airforce had extremely lenient conscientious objector guidelines back then and has thus sought to capitalize on the nature and lack of real action they saw 35-40 years ago as one of the ways to give them fascist importance. A lot of those air force guys came back, never having killed anybody themselves, but saw more of it, saw the end result. So like any good corporation, the Air Force now rebrands itself as a technological powerhouse tied to the power of faith in God.

However, God and Christianity has always been one of the mainstays of the Air Force. The Air Force Chapel is one of the biggest tourist attraction is Colorado. So I don't know. Does anybody offhand know of the history of the importance of this chapel, being placed as it is in CO next to the mountains at the Air Force Academy? Because see, there isn't a lot of jet flying around there. I'm from a little north of there and it's not like they're training to be pilots or anything. There's no air traffic. What exactly do they do besides proselytize?

I suspect we all have contracts with the universe including your dad.

You may want to look at the work of Caroline Myss. I videotaped her
about 14 years ago.

Overview -
Sacred Contracts




Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author and medical intuitive Caroline Myss has found that when people don’t understand their purpose in life the result can be depression, anxiety, fatigue, and eventually physical illness—in short, a spiritual malaise of epidemic proportions. Myss’s experience of working with people led her to develop an insightful and ingenious process for deciphering your own Sacred Contract—or higher purpose—using a new theory of archetypes that builds on the works of Jung, Plato, and many other contemporary thinkers.
Myss examines the lives of the spiritual masters and prophets—Abraham, Jesus, Buddha, and Muhammad—whose archetypal journeys illustrate the four stages of a Sacred Contract and provide clues for discovering your own. Myss explains how you can identify your particular spiritual energies, or archetypes—the gatekeepers of your higher purpose—and use them to help you find out what you are here on earth to learn and whom you are meant to meet. Exploring your Sacred Contract will shine a light on the purpose and meaning of your life. You are meant to do certain tasks, you are meant to have certain relationships.

As incongruous as it may seem at first glance to her legions of fans, Myss, a popular intuitive healer and teacher, and the bestselling author of Anatomy of the Spirit, thinks it makes perfect sense to describe her approach to spirituality as that of an archetypal "Saboteur." After all, it takes a thief to catch a thief, she explains in her latest work. In her workshops and readings, she goes "on a search and destroy mission to find my students' spiritual panic.... Deep in the unconscious, our spiritual potential lies in wait for us to release it. Sometimes you will have to blow things out of your own way to get to it." Here, Myss offers her readers a new system for blowing away pedestrian notions of their purpose on the planet. She espouses the ancient notion that our souls enter into a kind of contract before birth that we agree to have various human experiences and even (in Myss's version) to encounter certain people in order to learn lessons. The author includes a technique for arriving at 12 archetypes that rule different areas of our life from career to sex to our highest aspirations. While each of us is controlled in different ways by four "survival" archetypes Child, Victim, Prostitute, Saboteur the other archetypes that flavor our relations to the world are up to us and as richly different as Vampire and Messiah.

Just for the hell of it, I counted the number of spires on that there chapel and it came out to 17. I decided to look up the "meaning" of 17 and found this page:

I was unimpressed while reading down the page, yet held out hope that something would jump out at me. Lo and behold!

The roof of the terminal building of the Denver International Airport (DIA) is formed into 34 peaks (17 on each side) to represent Colorado's majestic Rocky Mountains. The DIA occupies 34,000 acres and serves 17 airlines.

The Air Force Academy teaches mainly science and engineering - it was never intended as a flight school.

I have no idea of the symbolism of the Chapel, but it's plainly one of the most magnificent buildings of the 20th century.

Apparently the original design was for 19, but they ran into budget constraints: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Sta ... det_Chapel

Whatever. Whenever family was in town and we would take them around, the last place I wanted to go was to some dumb chapel. I wanted to go here!



I mean NORAD is right down the street from there and they do happen to be the good people who track Santa. So maybe there's something up with that too. But I would not say it is one of the most magnificent buildings of the 20th century. I think this is:



After all this is the freedom the Air Force has been fighting for, no?



God can be worshiped anywhere. I guess just more especially in one of the most magnificent buildings that happens to be a place filled with christo-fascist proselytization and big brother techno-research overseen by a corporate government. This country is trashed and the chapel is ugly as far as beautiful churches go.

It's a stealth chapel.

Gee, looks like a shattered WTC tower, ready to collapse. Don't it?

This whole thing is one big psyops, and a damn effective one at that.

Returning for a moment to the whole Christianization of our power structure thing, I just got a chain bookstore ad today for Jeff Sharlet's C Street: The Fundamentalist Threat to American Democracy, the sequel to his first book on the subject The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power. I'm pretty sure there was at least one RI thread on The Family and my hope is that his books are waking up more mainstream Americans to the kind of twisted power-mongering fundamentalism that infects our government. It seems to pervade the military and intelligence worlds as well and I guess the programming for it has to begin somewhere--even in Bible study groups at military academies.

A dominionist-zionist-apocalyptic alliance at the heart of things that says we are right, and we keep the power.

As murderous and suicidal as the oil, drugs, intimidation, rape, slaughter, torture, theft and betting on fixed games that it's all based on.

If you try to act like Jesus, we'll kill your ass. We're the Empire.
