Rachel Maddow Blasts National Security System TOO BIG over Aaron Alexis' Police Report

Washington Gunman Recently Told Cops He Was Being Bombarded By Microwave Signals That Kept Him Awake At Night.



(CNN) -- Aaron Alexis -- the man authorities say is responsible for killing 12 people at the Washington Navy Yard -- told Newport, Rhode Island, police last month that an individual "had sent three people to follow him and to talk, keep him awake and send vibrations into his body," according to a police report. According to that report, which is related to an investigation into a harassment complaint at a Marriott hotel in Newport, Aaron Alexis said he first heard the people "talking to him through a wall" at a Residence Inn in Middletown, Rhode Island, where he'd been staying. He packed up and went to an unidentified hotel on a Navy base in Newport where he heard the same voices talking to him. Aaron Alexis moved to a third hotel, the Marriott, according to the police report. There, Aaron Alexis first told authorities that the three individuals spoke to him through the floor and then the ceiling. Aaron Alexis said the individuals were using "some sort of microwave machine" that sent "vibrations through the ceiling, penetrating his body so he cannot fall asleep." Aaron Alexis told authorities, according to the police report, that "he does not have a history of mental illness in his family and that he never had any sort of mental episode."

Torah is the Elixir of Jewish Life

Rabbi Ephraim Z. Buchwald, Director of NJOP, is getting revved up for the final days of Sukkot which are known as Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah.

Simchat Torah is a relatively new festival that came about in the 14th century and took the elements of Shemini Atzeret and focused on the celebration of the completion and the rebeginning of the reading of the Torah (the Five Books of Moses).



The Torah is the elixir of Jewish life. It is impossible for the Jewish people to survive without the Torah. In fact, Jews say a blessing every morning that we be occupied in the study of Torah. Nowadays people often identify themselves by their occupation. We identify ourselves as people who are preoccupied with the study of Torah.

Why People Should Be Outraged at Zimmerman's 'Not Guilty' Verdict

"George Zimmerman, the Florida 'neighborhood watch' volunteer armed with a gun, has been acquitted of charges of second-degree murder and manslaughter in the shooting death of unarmed African American teenager, Trayvon Martin.



This verdict is at once so shocking and so expected to me that without a doubt it exposes the lie at the heart of the American 'criminal justice' system. We do not have, especially where African Americans are concerned, a "justice" system. It is often an injustice system that results in unequal treatment."*

George Zimmerman was found "not guilty" of all charges in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. But is this right? Is this justice? There were many, many times after the moment of Martin's death that were not handled properly, and now we as a people must deal with the implications the "not guilty" verdict sets forth. Cenk Uygur details and breaks down where the case went wrong.

For Trayvon Martin, is there no justice?

The Belief in God Is Irrational: How Religion Fuels War, Foments Bigotry, and Abuses Children

The God Delusion is a 2006 bestselling, non-fiction book by English biologist Richard Dawkins, professorial fellow of New College, Oxford, and former holder of the Charles Simonyi Chair for the Public Understanding of Science at the University of Oxford.

In The God Delusion, Dawkins contends that a supernatural creator almost certainly does not exist and that belief in a personal god qualifies as a delusion, which he defines as a persistent false belief held in the face of strong contradictory evidence. He is sympathetic to Robert Pirsig's statement in Lila that "when one person suffers from a delusion it is called insanity. When many people suffer from a delusion it is called religion."



As of January 2010, the English version of The God Delusion had sold over 2 million copies. It was ranked No.2 on the Amazon.com bestsellers' list in November 2006. In early December 2006, it reached No.4 in the New York Times Hardcover Nonfiction Best Seller list after nine weeks on the list. It remained on the list for 51 weeks until 30 September 2007. The German version, entitled Der Gotteswahn, had sold over 260,000 copies as of 28 January 2010.

The book has attracted widespread commentary, with many books written in response.

Dawkins has argued against creationist explanations of life in his previous works on evolution. The theme of The Blind Watchmaker, published in 1986, is that evolution can explain the apparent design in nature. In The God Delusion he focuses directly on a wider range of arguments used for and against belief in the existence of a god (or gods).

Dawkins identifies himself repeatedly as an atheist, while also pointing out that, in a sense, he is also agnostic, though "only to the extent that I am agnostic about fairies at the bottom of the garden".

Dawkins had long wanted to write a book openly criticizing religion, but his publisher had advised against it. By the year 2006, his publisher had warmed to the idea. Dawkins attributes this change of mind to "four years of Bush." By that time, a number of authors, including Sam Harris and Christopher Hitchens, who together with Dawkins were labelled "The Unholy Trinity" by Robert Weitzel, had already written books openly attacking religion. According to the Amazon.co.uk website, the book led to a 50% growth in their sales of books on religion and spirituality (including anti-religious books such as Hitchens's God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything) and a 120% increase in the sales of the Bible.

Dawkins dedicates the book to Douglas Adams and quotes the novelist: "Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?" The book contains ten chapters. The first few chapters make a case that there is almost certainly no God, while the rest discuss religion and morality.

Dawkins writes that The God Delusion contains four "consciousness-raising" messages: Atheists can be happy, balanced, moral, and intellectually fulfilled. Natural selection and similar scientific theories are superior to a "God hypothesis"—the illusion of intelligent design—in explaining the living world and the cosmos. Children should not be labelled by their parents' religion. Terms like "Catholic child" or "Muslim child" should make people cringe. Atheists should be proud, not apologetic, because atheism is evidence of a healthy, independent mind.
