Double Flee A

a great update from Joel:

Every once in a while the Internet coughs up something so fucked up I have to spend all night reading about it. This is one of those things

I give you the First Earth Battalion. A project the military REALLY
attempted. It is one of the most unbelievable things I have ever heard of our government ever doing. The attached articles are really short.

The gist of all this is that the government put elite special forces troops through a crazy new age training program. The guy who started it refers to himself as a shaman and worked to build a military force whose mission statement includes the following statements.

" Earthkind has grown from pack to village. and then from village to tribe, then from tribe to territory. and from territory to nation. It is time to go from nation to planet. The First Earth Battalion hereby declares its primary allegiance to the planet."

" Chinese monks were often attacked by robbers. They developed a new fighting system based on using the force of the attacker against him. Likewise the soldiers of the First Earth will learn martial arts with the same ethical basis. No Earth soldier shall be denied the kingdom of heaven because he or she is used as an instrument of indiscriminate war. The conscience will be developed together with the ability to neutralize the opponent. "

This article is a disturbing look at various insane government projects, including the FEB. I read this and then found the rest.
Mentioned here.

Thanks, Joel.
