numerous partnerships entangle MIT researchers with Mohammed bin Salman

3-30-2018        numerous partnerships entangle MIT researchers with Bin Salman.  On his Boston tour he also visited IBM’s Cambridge research facility, which recently partnered with MIT to form an artificial intelligence research laboratory in exchange for a $240m commitment to the university.  Boston Dynamics, an MIT partner that builds robots for the US military, also offered a demonstration. Such alliances ought to cast doubt on MIT’s promise to understand the “societal and ethical” implications of AI and build socially beneficial technologies.
    The terms of all of these partnerships are essentially opaque, while the secrecy that surrounds them denies the community the chance to deliberate and take action.  The growth of unaccountable university partnerships, like other crises facing educational institutions, stems from the absence of democratic engagement.  When universities decide to sell themselves to the highest bidder they become deaf to the interests of their students and the wider societies in which they operate.  Subservience to war criminals and corporate overlords tends to follow.   https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/mar/30/elite-universities-selling-themselves-mit-harvard-saudi-arabia-mohammed-bin-salman

Amman, Apr. 12, 2017 - The Crown Prince Foundation (CPF) on Wednesday signed an agreement with the Fab Foundation, affiliated with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), to establish and operate a digital manufacturing laboratory in Amman (Fab Lab Amman). 
  The agreement, signed between CPF’s CEO Omar Massarweh and Fab Foundation President Sherry Lassiter, provides a framework under which the Fab Foundation will provide the necessary tools to establish the lab in Amman.  It also lays out a plan of operation for the next three years.  The Fab Foundation was formed in 2009 to facilitate and support the growth of the international Fab Lab network, as well as the development of regional capacity-building organizations, according to its website.  The foundation is a US non-profit organization that emerged from MIT’s Centre for Bits and Atoms Fab Lab Programme.    https://www.cpf.jo/en/media/press-release/crown-prince-foundation-mit-establish-high-tech-lab-amman

  Their mother told detectives the day before the bodies were discovered, she received a call from an official at the Saudi Arabian Embassy, ordering the family to leave the U.S. because her daughters had applied for political asylum, New York police said Tuesday.

Razor wire protects a cluster of schools on the outskirts of Kashgar

  Rounding up five to ten percent of an entire ethnic group, as the government has in Xinjiang, is a method that seems to belong in the last century, not this one.   But these heavy-handed measures have not simply rolled back the reforms and opening of past decades.  Beijing is widening the geographic scope of such measures, extending them from its Western border regions into areas that once seemed relatively free by comparison, and employing cutting-edge methods in service of old totalitarian ambitions.  What we are witnessing, in short, is not a continuation of China’s oppressive status quo but the onset of something alarming and new….the same calculus that has emboldened other authoritarian leaders, such as Saudi Arabia’s ruling family.  Add to this the chaotic state of politics in the United States and Europe, and it is clear why leaders in Beijing assume that they can do with impunity what their predecessors shied away from.    https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/china/2018-10-30/chinas-bad-old-days-are-back

without illumined Christhood the very atoms and cells of their four lower bodies can no longer hold together for want of the cohesive power

  And when we say that mankind must be illumined ere we would hold back their karma, when we say that mankind must themselves accept the Christ in order to preserve this planetary body we are saying that without illumined Christhood the very atoms and cells of their four lower bodies can no longer hold together for want of the cohesive power of divine Love.  And therefore what happens on a world scale is the product of what is happening on an individual scale as men commit themselves to the darkness of insanity and give their bodies so freely to the lusts of the flesh.
  But precious ones, the power and torch of that light and fire which you carry in your Christ Self has enough illumination and enough healing power that, if it be lifted up as a light unto the world, will draw all mankind unto the torch which is their Holy Christ Self and to their own identity that is the fullness of divine Illumination and the will of God which will cause them to alter their course and take in hand the precepts of divine Law.  Therefore not by interceding for their karma but by becoming the Christ you can achieve the staying of the karma of mankind, for in illumination is the transformation of the healing ray.      1-8-1967 at Colorado Springs via Messenger Mark Prophet

486.  Even in daily life if we ask someone to step aside, instead of doing so he will invariably ask the reason, or at best he will look back and allow the stone to fall on his head.  It is the same with unsuccessful disciples.  Their hearts will be silent where one should act immediately.  This is also harmful for the heart itself, for what could be more destructive than unexecuted commands of the heart?  Though the heart be silent, it does not mean that in its depth the telegraphic code is not accepted.  This is as dangerous as obscuring the heart by reason!  How many hearts have stopped owing to the tension of unexecuted commands! The conflict between heart and reason is the saddest page of humanity.

PLA has paid for “more than 2,500 military scientists and engineers to study abroad

10-30-18  The Chinese government is engaged in campaign of secretly enrolling the nation’s prize military scientists in Western universities to gain expertise in such areas as “hypersonic missiles and navigation technology,” according to a new report from a think tank tied to Australia’s defense ministry.  The report by the Australian Strategic Policy Institute claims the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has paid for “more than 2,500 military scientists and engineers to study abroad,” with many of them hiding their official ties to China’s defense community.
“Dozens of PLA scientists have obscured their military affiliations to travel to Five Eyes countries and the European Union, including at least 17 to Australia, where they work in areas such as hypersonic missiles and navigation technology,” states the report published this week.  https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2018/oct/30/chinese-military-place-scientists-us-universities/

video interview with Ghanem Al-Dosari, Saudi dissident

Interview with
Ghanem Al-Dosari, Saudi dissident—
video at 5:10:  “I think he is very young and ruthless and, on top of that, psycho….We saw him welcoming the son of Jamal Khashoggi, and it’s like nothing has happened….
"Jamal spent his entire life working with the government….the Saudi government, it’s like working with a Mafia: if you are in you are in; if you leave them then you expect, ahh…
“I haven’t worked with the government…and of course if they get their hand on me, ah, ah, they will invite me ‘for dinner.’ ” at 7:35 
“I think he’s going to continue to silence anybody who (speaks up)…No, they haven’t finished with me.  I receive death threats on a daily basis.” at 9:05   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8XyWuDfxBgE

4 Saudi activists speak up:
10-22-18  (a) Omar Abdulaziz, a 27-year-old Saudi activist exiled in Canada, said he was approached earlier this year by Saudi officials who urged him to visit their embassy with them to collect a new passport.  "They were saying 'it will only take one hour, just come with us to the embassy'," Abdulaziz, who rankled authorities with a YouTube show that satirized the Saudi leadership, said in a video posted on Twitter.  He refused to go, fearing a trap, and two of his brothers and a handful of his friends were arrested in the kingdom, he said, thus validating his suspicions.  The Washington Post said it received hours-long tapes from Abdulaziz of his conversations with those officials, which he secretly recorded.

(b)  Abdullah Alaoudh, a Saudi scholar at Georgetown, said he was subjected to a similar "plot" in Washington.  Last yea, when Alaoudh, son of prominent cleric Salman al-Awda who is jailed and faces trial in the kingdom, applied to renew his passport at the Saudi embassy in Washington, he says he was told to return to the kingdom to complete what appeared to be basic formalities.  "They offered me a 'temporary pass' that would allow me to return to Saudi Arabia," Alaoudh told AFP.  "I knew it was a trap and just left with my expired passport."...
(c) Manal al-Sharif, a Saudi woman activist exiled in Australia, said she narrowly escaped the kingdom's dragnet in September last year when Saud al-Qahtani sought to lure her to a Saudi embassy.  "If it weren't for the kindness of God I would have been (another) victim," Sharif tweeted, posting a screenshot of private messages with Qahtani, a media advisor in the royal court who was sacked in the fallout over Khashoggi's killing.
The number of asylum seekers from Saudi Arabia globally has more than doubled since Prince Mohammed's ascendance to power -- from 575 cases in 2015 to 1,256 in 2017 -- according to the United Nations' refugee agency.  Khashoggi's death has caused such a wave of fear among exiles that some are now cautious of even visiting their country's overseas missions.
(d)  "The horrid story of Jamal Khashoggi has sent many activists into a state of shock," said Amani al-Ahmadi, a 27-year-old Saudi exile in Seattle.  "Many activists abroad don't speak up, fearful of bringing harm to their families back home, losing their scholarships or worse abduction and arrest."  https://www.france24.com/en/20181022-saudi-dissidents-fear-long-arm-state-after-khashoggi-murder

people repeat about freedom without even knowing its specific qualities

   85.  Freedom is valuable for the guarding of personality, for the individualization of the attracted energies.  But it is freedom, exactly, that becomes the most perverted conception.  Life becomes filled with tyranny and slavery instead of freedom, precisely the qualities that exclude cooperation and respect for personality; thus some people succeed in planning their existence exclusively out of a special combination of tyranny and slavery.  Of course people repeat about freedom without even knowing its specific qualities.  Freedom should affirm itself in them by the upliftment of consciousness.  Intense searches for freedom show that the spirit potentially strives toward new ascents, yet no one has taught it how to apply this treasure.
111.  Verily the entire perfectment of the heart rests upon moral foundations. These foundations transmute the physical nature and vivify the spirit.  Of course you may be asked "How does this condition stand with the dark ones, when their hierophants possess certain fires?”  It is correct to understand that dark amorality rests upon the discipline of fear.  One should realize how cruel is this discipline!  Whereas we very cautiously take into consideration the Law of Karma and value individuality; on the opposite side are disharmony and destruction, and their foundations are upheld by tyranny.  Of course upon the lower steps fear seems to be a sure method.  Thus the dark terrorizer appears as a severe creditor, but one must have in mind the solidarity of the dark, amoral destroyers.  Often warriors of little experience do not want to know the strength of the enemies, but the heart can be pierced as well through the breast as through the back.  Therefore apprehend the methods of the enemies.

     Invocations, decrees, fiats of the flame of the heart devoted to the light:
(by Sindelar, 1930s)

   In the name I AM THAT I AM:  Archangel Michael and Faith, Micah, legions of the first ray, Archangl Gabriel and Hope:  come, cut free thine in the earth to rise in our finer bodies to thy etheric temples and retreats for the rest and renewal that we need, for the demagnetization, repolarization from all not of the light; help us find our places, our loved ones, please.

  In the name I AM, dear Divine Mother, Thou hast said “it is not real.”  Make use of Thine in the earth, Thy holy avatars and Christed ones, Thy willing souls.

  In the name I AM THAT I AM, may the great Blue Causal Body of Hierarchy be upon Terra and her evolutions, upon the various evolving orbs requiring Thy intercession and overcoming in the flame.

  In the name I AM, beloved Elohim Virginia, may the immaculate concept/divine design beheld by Cyclopea be upon thine in the earth.  In the name I AM, beloved Elohim Heros and Amora, do send forth the magnet of divine love to purge from the community of the Holy Spirit these set against the ruby ray.

  In the name I AM, I call to thee, Justinius, Captain of Seraphic bands, may the golden-platinum chainmail armor be upon me, upon thine in the earth for the word and work of the Lord, with the helmet, boots, gauntlets, shield, sword with yellow-blue diamonds, by Thy grace in the greater good.

  In the name I AM, may the Office of Messenger of the Great White Brotherhood ever be filled and blessed in the energies of Alpha and Omega—in Thy grace and truth, joy and guidance, surrender, protection, selflessness and all that needs must be, amen.

  In the name I AM, may the Office of the Two Witnesses also be filled; may these in divine service lacking reinforcement and support find the blessed reinforcement and support out of the flame of the One.

  In the name I AM, Sanat Kumara, reinforce thine of the first ray, come, fill the gaps of memory, vision, health, constancy, harmony, knowing of divine purposes, by Thy grace. 

  In the name I AM, may these energies not of the Christ in the earth be consumed in the pool of divine love, demagnetized, repolarized and returned to the hand of the Cosmic Virgin for the greater good.

In the name I AM, may these little children contacted by Maitreya remember in our outer awareness the path of overcoming, perseverance, balance, joy, straightforwardness, way of the cosmic honor flame and course-correction for America and the Earth.

  In the name I AM, dear Alpha and Omega, great Central Sun Magnet, great Central Sun Messengers, great cosmic beings serving the Earth, Mighty Cosmos, God Maximus, God Harmony, Mighty Cosmic Beings from out the Pleiades, mighty Elohim, Archangels, Chohans of the rays, great Karmic Board, Spirit of Selflessness in the Great Central Sun, Ray-O-Light, Lanello, Guru Ma, K-17, legions of the Cosmic Secret Service, dear entire Spirit of the Great White Brotherhood, elemental life fire, air, water, earth:
seize, bind, lock and take to the God-Star, to the Court of Sacred Fire and Cosmic Justice the luciferians and satanists whose hour has come for judgment or is past due, with their plots, strategies, nefarious activities with their causes and cores;
seize, bind, lock and take to the God-Star for judgment Serpent and his seed, the Liar and his Lie, the Murderer and his murders, the astral alliance against the Christ over the Hague, the money beast, 666, Jezebel, Blasphemy over New York City, the great whore, abortion and abortionists, the false prophet and accuser of the brethren;
seize, bind, lock and take to the God-Star for judgment the black brotherhoods of India and of Egypt, mechanization man, the entrenched fallen ones of Russia, China, North Korea, Iran, Pakistan, America and the earth, the opponents of the divine design, the central bankers and their machinations, the exponents and manipulators of the maya, glamor, karma, moon substance, sex cones, dissonant sound, the drug cartels, the poisoners and sugarers, infiltrators and impostors;
seize, bind, lock and take to the God-Star for judgment the black-hearted, heartless and hypocrites in government, finance, media, medicine, education, religion, biology, chemistry, genetic engineering, in nuclear weaponry and nuclear energy development whose hour is come for judgment or past due, according to Thy will so be it.

  —-Now give some invocations and fiats such as:  Blue-lightning bombs descend! bolts of blue lightning, descend from the heart of God in the Great Central Sun!  Cycles of Victory appear, spirals of Victory descend, I AM an electrode of Victory in action here!  Fire of God descend!  O God, come, take dominion and make us one!  Elohim (9x)  Shiva!  Shakti!  Kali!  Durga!  Parvati!  Have mercy on us, O God!  Burn the light through!  Blaze the light through!  

flashes of fire for unassailable purification

582.  The Brothers of Mercy could enter into the worst nests of pestilence without being contaminated because they had committed their consciousness to Christ irrevocably and undividedly.  Such communion of consciousness created flashes of fire for unassailable purification, ...can call to mind numerous similar undivided actions which awaken the fire of heart-tension.      -Morya:  Heart 1932

  The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is trying to recruit or spy on thousands of French experts using fake LinkedIn accounts, according to Le Figaro.  Several hundred people have been compromised, the French paper reported.
  Chinese agents targeted some 4000 French individuals, including civil servants, scientists, high-level managers, and other influential figures, Le Figaro reported on Oct. 23.  Of that figure about 1700 are employed or otherwise involved with national institutions.   https://www.theepochtimes.com/china-is-targeting-thousands-of-french-experts-for-work-and-espionage_2699913.html

The United States has lost close to $1.2 trillion from intellectual-property theft, mainly from the CCP, over the last three years, according to The Hill.  That number doesn’t even include patent infringement.
The CCP has even gone to the source with this type of theft, and according to former senior U.S. Naval intelligence officer John Jordan, China’s Ministry of State Security has agents in Silicon Valley assigned for this purpose.

There is also spying on customers, and this goes to the chip level of devices.  Bloomberg recently claimed the CCP was spying at the chip level on Amazon and Apple devices.  Examples of the CCP spying by through supply-chain threats goes back much farther however and includes chips, firmware, infected apps, data-sharing programs and other vulnerabilities.  https://www.theepochtimes.com/chinese-subversion-of-the-united-states-is-deep-and-far-reaching_2696563.html

Oct. 7:  Turkish officials say Khashoggi was killed at the consulate.  A Saudi government statement describes the allegation as “baseless.”
Saudi officials in Istanbul took a team of journalists inside the consulate in a bid to prove their innocence.  Meanwhile reports in Saudi media attempted to discredit the accounts of Khashoggi’s fiancee, who first reported that he was missing on Tuesday.
No Turkish official has yet publicly confirmed that Khashoggi is dead.  In remarks made Sunday President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said only that the mystery was “very, very upsetting” and he was “chasing” the matter.
But many Turkish officials seemed confident in the assessment that the Saudis carried out murder.  “There is concrete information; it will not remain an unsolved case,” said Yasin Aktay, an adviser to Erdogan’s Justice and Development Party, in a Sunday interview with CNN Turk.

AP:  What did the crown prince tell you today, exactly, and what is your intelligence telling you?
Trump in AP interview:  I spoke to the crown prince, so you have that.  He said he and his father knew nothing about it.  And that was very important.  And I spoke to him with Mike Pompeo there.  And the crown prince.  I spoke to the king yesterday.  The crown prince today wanting to know what was going on, what was happening, and he said very strongly that he and his father knew nothing about it.
AP: Did they raise this idea of rogue killers in any of those conversations?

Oct. 20:  In the WaPo interview, Trump made clear he has yet to be provided with any evidence that would make him believe MBS had direct knowledge that Khashoggi was going to be killed or order that it be done.  He repeatedly displayed a realpolitik way of viewing the Middle East, praising Saudi Arabia for buying arms from the United States, reiterating the importance of oil prices and trashing Iran, saying: "We've got nobody else over there" to help protect Israel.
"I would love if he wasn't responsible," he said of MBS. "I think it's a very important ally for us.  Especially when you have Iran doing so many bad things in the world, it's a good counterbalance to the world.  Iran, they're as evil as it gets.”   https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/ct-trump-interview-saudi-prince-20181020-story.html

The Saudis lie, over and over, and face no consequences. 

Today we will provide the same support for their Yemen bombing campaign that we have for 2 years. 
Trump has turned America into a global patsy. Lie to us, push us around, and we do nothing.     https://twitter.com/ChrisMurphyCT

Oct. 27:  "With our collective interests in peace and unwavering respect for human rights in mind, the murder of Jamal Khashoggi in a diplomatic facility must concern us all greatly," Mattis told a conference in Manama, Bahrain.
"Failure of any one nation to adhere to international norms and the rule of law undermines regional stability at a time when it is needed most," Mattis said.  He did not mention de facto Saudi ruler Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman by name at any point.  https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/mattis-says-khashoggi-killing-undermines-regional-stability-middle-east-1505200863
