Seems an entirely reasonable letter - if you intend to commit a crime, it's best not to let folks how you intend to do it.
Damned nosy academics - nothing better to do.
Another interesting legal action is the one by Inner City Press / Fair Finance Watch filed with the Federal Reserve Board in Washington, and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, a complaint and request under the Freedom of Information Act claiming the J P Morgan take over of Bear Stearns is illegal.

Yeah, it's one of the dopiest letters I've seen, but not the dopiest.
In a previous life, several decades ago, a competitor sent a letter to their (and our) distributors threatening to withdraw supply if they sold their product below RRP. It was illegal (with very stiff penalties) to make such threats and had been so for a couple of years when the letter went out...
Btw, the agreement referred to in this part of the letter: "I want to make you aware that if the County does so, it violates their established Sequoia licensing Agreement for use of the voting system"
would make for even more fascinating reading than the letter reproduced by Boing Boing.

it's that apostrophe again (not to mention the generally inept way in which hebrew translates, somewhat like soviet era russian:

now this is interesting! it's a new interview with david shayler - the three parts are labelled "points of view parts 1 - 3" and start with a recent little shayler lecture before getting to the interview. he is still
*claiming to be the final re-incarnation of jesus' soul,
*claiming the towers were taken down by laser beams, and
*telling everyone to read the Protocols.

The French President is to be among a few leaders allowed to make speeches in both chambers of the UK parliament, Buckingham Palace says. The March 26 address, in the Royal Gallery of the Palace of Westminster, is to be delivered in both the House of Commons and the House of Lords during Nicolas Sarkozy's two-day visit. During the visit, the French leader is also expected to meet with the British Premier Gordon Brown. Sarkozy, whose right-wing party on Sunday was dealt a few blows in French local elections, will be the 32nd foreign leader to have been afforded the chance since 1939.

LANDSLIDE VICTORY FOR RON PAUL IN MISSOURI
Today in Saint Charles County Missouri, the largest Republican County caucus in the state 111 of a possible 137 Delegates were elected for Ron Paul. The St. Charles Caucus was a landslide turnout for Ron Paul. The Republican Platform was amended to oppose the Patriot Act, The Iraq war, the Federal Reserve, Fiat Currency, the Global American Empire, the income Tax, Estate Tax, McCain Fiengold, the National ID Card, The Real ID Act of 2005 and much much more.

Manipulation Operations
Most of you will know about Operation Gladio and the strategy of tension. CIA operations in NATO countries which included the use of terrorism to manipulate public opinion against communism.
There is a new book out that describes how a slightly different operation was used to prop up anti-Soviet public opinion in Sweden:
Following the stranding of a Soviet Whiskey-class submarine in 1981 on the Swedish archipelago, a series of massive submarine intrusions took place within Swedish waters.
However, the evidence for these appears to have been manipulated or simply invented. Classified documents and interviews point to covert Western, rather than Soviet activity. This is backed up by former US Secretary of Defense Caspar Weinberger, who stated that Western 'testing' operations were carried out regularly in Swedish waters. Royal Navy submarine captains have also admitted to top-secret operations.
Ola Tunander's revelations make it clear that the United States and Britain ran a 'secret war' in Swedish waters. The number of Swedes perceiving the Soviet Union as a direct threat increased from 5-10 per cent in 1980 to 45 per cent in 1983. This Anglo-American 'secret war' was aimed at exerting political influence over Sweden. It was a risky enterprise, but perhaps the most successful covert operation of the entire Cold War.
There is no reason to believe that operations like these have stopped or are restricted to those countries you are not living in.
Depending on the 'favorite enemy of the day' such operations might be used to induce anti-Islam, anti-Russian, anti-Chinese public opinion. The best defense against these manipulation is to stay informed and to process all 'news' with a healthy dose of salt.

Ditzy as ever. No CIA was needed "to manipulate public opinion" against the commissars. The commissars managed very well on their own, thank you. Now why do you think Hungary, Slovenia, Czechoslovakia (before division) Poland, Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, and the list continues, couldn't wait to join NATO? It was the 50 years of experience with the commissars and the übermensches from Moscow. Sweden had only to look a few kilometers east to see what was happening, no tortured reasoning needed. It is utterly amazing that in 2008 there are still Kremlin aparachniks-apologists around. But what the heck, there are enough apologists for George W. Bush around also.

Here's some weirdness..
There was no Bosnian war that wasn't jews killing jews--all the victims were largely jewish for the most part, roughly over 80% of them. The muslims were jews (90%), the ones fighting them--jews (70 to 80%). Refugees, about 200,000 of them, are reportedly living in the Ukraine currently. The camps were directing them to execution camps in Greece and they diverted out of complete mistrust of the fake officials.
There was no Dover Delaware. Before the jews went there there was no Dover as a city itself. As a matter of fact there was no state there, it was all just woods with very few if any population. There (weird shit file) are actually 2, yes 2, working gas stations for the entirity of the state with no snack station in either of them such as the usual fare you have with a 7-11 or something, they are booth, one has a snackie thing there (best way to discribe it). There are 4 actually both of the other 2 are closed. One Shell (western), one Amoco (south of state) both closed, the other two both Mobils are open and along expressways. Truckers know to avoid Delaware. There are no supermarkets in the whole state of Delaware either. What the hell is Biden the senator of?
Providence RI was all, and I mean 90%, fake proletariat, what I call "ducks" and other call slummies or smutties or something. I just look at them for what it is they're supposed to do by directive, sit there and take over after they kill off all the populations--to make cities and communities all look operational. Anyway bla bla bla in minute detail what was found out was weirder--we found the root of that smell in those houses and secondly why they "eat cereal" all day.
The weird stink that is in their houses and why there are often newspapers in the sinks (or sinks that are unusable, even with furniture in them) is that they wash with their dishes, meaning they reportedly bathe while they clean them, in the tub. I know I can't imagine that either but it has some truth in basis, I suppose. Secondly now the reason they "eat cereal and kill people" is from a 1970's-ish joke or play on words--they are "CEREAL KILLERS" (rimshot). They are, yeah, cereal killers, clever. They eat cereal and kill people. Like I said really these aren't bright people.
Their plans which did come from ADL too was that the socialists or green communists in DC and statehouses clear out the wilderness areas so people can't live there, while the "fake proletariat" (cereal killers) make the cities too violent or undesirable to live in. The interest rates tumble, people buy up homes in the burbs, someone puts in a factory there and they begin secretly killing people off. This plan was set to go for 2010. We aren't sure how by direct details as perhaps there may not be any on anyone's tables but the end hypothetical result is complete annihilation of anyone eventually wherever these "ducks" (cereal types, fake proletariat) pop up.

More stuff...
The attacks on the school in Bezlan (spelling?) Russia was an inside op on both ends of the terrain. The crazed "terrorists" inside the school were ALL (we're certain about the term "all" being used)socialist jews from Arabia and the authorities that took over the op supposedly getting the kids and parents, teachers etcetera out--jews from Russia sent in to get the situation hotter and more desperate insuring those inside get killed. Reports say that there were no teachers in the building and that they left and went to the police outpost to call parents.
These same people, meaning same groups (these from Ukraine? possible), gassed the people in that theater soon thereafter within a week, all victims goyim (or mostly as well as can be determined). The op, both actually along with a scatergorical third attack, was to get people out of Russia that were of jewish heritage and out beyond the iron curtain by fear of terror so they could use them someplace somehow. Breaking-up the settled comfy herd in villages and settled areas by this new supposedly terrorist threat. Inside Russia it's hard to get them out for some reason without having complete control over the country (unknown as to why this was an option), of which they did not have at the time. Meaning also that yes they have had complete control twice over the whole of the nation of Russia. Both terror ops, along with a third, failed to produce their desired results of scattering the hebie flock to where they could pick them up to turn into killers or something, maybe it's bureaucratic positioning. It didn't have the desired effect so we may never know the uses they had in mind.
Here's another weird factiod all the jumpers at 9-11 WTC were all jewish, including the blacks.

So too--and this is why I'm after them is that not only were there Russian kids killed there at Bezlan but the fake police authorities and mothers (some moms fakes if not all after a certain point) brought in 40 to 70 Italian toddlers and young kids under "coats" (large tarps, blue in color) in a flatbed truck to get killed there too (to keep the whole op' going days longer). The first group, parents and kids, got killed in a day or relatively early on.
The parents outside, nearly all that could be located, home, at work wherever, were rounded up and put in the building to blow up sealing all the details.
Whenever you hear a case of someone using a child as a human sheild in war or a firefight--guaranteed you found a jew in your midst and a goy in his hands.

But the ens realissimum doesn't really concern you, Rowan. Does it?
If it did, you'd be averse to the Vedantists in drag and immersed in the Vishnu Purana. You know, the Vedas the Jews (and everyone else) have relegated to mythology, while their pilfered bits and pieces of the very same is held up as proof positive of God and His wishes. Will the real ens realissimum please stand up!

the question is whether there is an ens realissimum at all. I don't think Spinoza for instance would have said that there was, since for him there is only one entity to begin with.
however, as crowley put it"I assert the absoluteness of the kabbalistic zero", i.e., there's really nothing 'there'.

No evidence can be provided for the statement "there is really nothing there". Also "zero" is equal to "minus zero" (not nothing) -or- the quantity of "zero", cannot define a quantity of anything outside of it, because the quantity of nothing is empty or does not exists, by definition.

http://www.husserl.info/article1.html
Completely negaing the empirical determinations of Brahman one comes to explicating Him as eternal purity (i.e., totally independent of matter), spirit, and freedom. He, in the opinion of Sankara, exceeds the capacities of speech and mind, does not pertain to the category of object and forms the internal Self of everything that exists. Proceeding from this understanding of reduction, the phenomenological reductivism of Scheler approaches, in method and results, the reductivism of the “negative theology” of Sankara, while the transcendental (rationalistic) reductivism of Husserl comes close to the dialectical nihilism of Madhyamaka school of Mahayana Buddhism.

it appears to me that the person in your second link is trying to defend (modern) advaiya vedanta from accusations that it is £buddhist-influenced" (for which he uses a derogatory hindu chauvinist term). His defense is not what it seems, that is, it is not really a matter fo the metaphysics at all - what he is really defending is the upanishadic pantheon.
