T E Lawrence: hero or mirage?
The legacy of T E Lawrence, the British intelligence officer who fought alongside Arab irregulars and was immortalised in David Lean's film, varies markedly between the West and the Middle East. Alasdair Soussi looks at the man and myth, 75 years after his death. The arrival of the British-led Imperial Camel Corps into the Arab camp at Aqaba was always likely to cause friction. Despite fighting as allies against the might of the Ottoman Empire in the 1916-18 Arab campaign to drive the Turks out of the Middle East, the British troopers and the Arab irregulars never made comfortable bedfellows. This particular summer's day in 1918, at the closing stages of the Great War, was to be no different. The army encampment, in what is today Jordan's southernmost city, reverberated to the sound of excited cries and musket fire as the 314-strong imperial troops galloped into town. Such was the greeting afforded them by the Arabs that many in the Camel Corps thought Aqaba itself was under attack. By nightfall, tensions had reached breaking point. Unfamiliar with the ways of the Arab camp and convinced they had been shot at while bathing in the sea earlier that day, several troopers were about to take matters into their own hands with the aid of a few grenades when a figure in white appeared. "He stood in the middle of the square, flung back his aba, showing his white undergarment, and illuminated by the countless fires, raised his hand," one soldier recalled. "Immediately the firing ceased, the hubbub died down and we had a peaceful night." That figure was Thomas Edward Lawrence. T?E Lawrence, who died 75 years ago this week, and who was pivotal in the success of the Arab revolt against the Turks, was the man the world would come to know as Lawrence of Arabia, and that anecdote - almost mythical in tone, yet a documented fact - is one of hundreds that have surrounded a life that continues to provoke the debate. David Lean's 1962 epic, starring Peter O'Toole, was based on Seven Pillars of Wisdom, Lawrence's memoir of the two-year campaign. The film was a global sensation, but it was not the first time that the Lawrence myth had captured the popular imagination. Forty-three years earlier, Lowell Thomas, a US journalist, toured the world with a highly romanticised film about Lawrence shot in the desert towards the end of the war. With Allenby In Palestine And Lawrence In Arabia was an immediate hit, not least in Great Britain where Lawrence was born in 1888. Consequently, Lawrence's role in the Arab uprising, his pursuit of victory against the Ottomans, and his complete immersion in the Arab way of life as a British intelligence officer, all contrived to create a man more otherworldly than simply flesh and bone. Michael Asher, the English-born explorer and Arabist, and author of Lawrence: The Uncrowned King Of Arabia, is one of many who readily subscribes to this view.http://www.thenational.ae/arts-culture/t-e-lawrence-hero-or-mirage<<

John F. Kennedy Jr.: Evidence Of A Cover up
By Michael RiveroJFK Jr. - Why the official story is in doubt.
Let's get something clear. The purpose of this article is not to suggest an alternative explanation for the crash of JFK Jr's plane. The purpose of this article is to suggest that it is reasonable and prudent to examine all possibilities, not settle on the first explanation forced upon the public to the exclusion of all else.Part 1.

When he was in LOVE, as John Jr. and Caroline Kennedy, he was able to grow the courage and stop his self-loathing, to write about WHY. Why was his spirit so twisted in the turns and burns of being an 'American'?!
Let U$ talk about the TERM OF 'ART' 'AMERICA | AMERICAN'
A BRAND IT is, sold as though a form of spirit *AMERICAN SPIRIT* even a pack of cigarettes with an ICON worthy of IT, the 'ideology' or the 'idea?'
What about WOUNDED KNEE & THE GHOST 'SPIRIT' DANCE?! Oh that's so not a teaching worth remembering and certainly not to practice!
Keeping the stupid stupid, dumber than dumb in the dumbest place imaginable regarding imagination, the highest vibration of any power that a 'soul sojourn' would-could-should-OF
We've ALL been seriously HANDICAPPED, in one form or another. We've ALL been intentionally manufactured (engineered) to be INSANE.

My brother so highly intelligent saw as did the SPOOK that was supposed to be a first 'remote viewer' ... words never end, actions-deeds, the covering up of how paranoid the worst of our species are, is very transparent

"One of the least understood strategies of the world revolution now moving rapidly toward its goal is the use of mind control as a major means of obtaining the consent of the people who will be subjects of the New World Order." -- From The National Educator, K.M.

SE Asia 1960s, what a wake-up call. There were only people there getting killed for the corporate power that has stolen America and now is killing the American people, too.
