FBI spending to top $3 billion at Redstone Arsenal
Alabama News ^ | 05/12/2023 | Self

Funding for ongoing construction at the FBI campus on Redstone Arsenal has now exceeded $3 billion.

As part of the $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill passed by Congress last month, $652 million was allocated for FBI construction at the Army post in Huntsville, according to a press release last month from former Sen. Richard Shelby, who retired this week.

What? No chefs with ten gourmet selections every day at lunch?

Oh sorry!! The 5 Star chefs with the 6 digit salaries and commensurate gourmet meals to order were omitted due to time constraints - as were other necessary Federal luxury features.

Former Sen. Richard Shelby reminds me of the proctologist in a Smokey movie. As a matter of fact, maybe it was Shelby because he certainly stuck it to the American taxpayer.

I have been in some Federal Office Buildings. You are cherry-picking to prove your ignorance.
Well, we already know of your ignorance.

I’ve been in many federal buildings including some you would not be able to enter.

PIF wrote: “However, what I wrote was a spoof on spending so many billions of dollars on a new building when their old one works just fine.”

Many federal agencies are relocating staff to redstone. There simply isn’t any ‘old ones that work just fine” for them there.

You’ll see a lot more agencies moving to Redstone and that means construction to house them.

Most conservatives support relocating federal agencies into the heartland to breakup the beltway mafia.

Not ignorance, experience.

It says maximum number of pushups, untimed. Where did you see ONE?

You obviously have never been in a federal office building.

Truth. My experience is mostly limited to DoD, but most are outdated and poorly maintained. Especially when compared to defense contractor facilities.

That’s been my experience too.

If you the maximum number of push-ups you can do is one - you pass.

I hope you are not right. It seems they left out the scoring metrics, which is odd.

They probably have different score requirements for skinny, fat, white, black, hispanic, male, female, trannie, gender switcheroos, and all the other alphabet soup people.

"There's a lot of cutting edge (research and development) that goes on here," Sharp said of Redstone Arsenal and, more specifically, the FBI. "It's highly advanced, highly technical, so that I want it to be a point of pride for people here in Huntsville, that this is in their community."

See, who says there isn't any good news out there. This is mostly review but it's an opportunity.

At the Redstone Arsenal is zip code 35808:

Visiting Marshall

NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center is situated on the U.S. Army's Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Alabama. Visitors are welcomed at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center, Marshall's official Visitor Center, which offers public bus tours of Marshall. U.S. Space & Rocket Center visitors can learn more about Marshall's legacy and ongoing work. Interactive exhibits and historic artifacts demonstrate our critical role in supporting the breadth of NASA's exploration and science missions. Visitors will learn how Marshall develops, integrates and manages complex space systems and scientific research projects that continue to yield exciting and innovative scientific discoveries.

Amazing visual displays (I always appreciate books that come with illustrations and diagrams)...

Amos 9
11. In that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and repair its breaches; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will rebuild it as in the days of old:
12. That they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the nations, who are called by my name, says the Lord who does this:

Google Street View goes right in. Underneath the tip of the fallen er horizontal rocket, the Moon -- symbolizing the Kingdom of David -- is embedded in the floor, encircled by its special announcement for the ages. On the back wall to the left, under the parachute is a Moon rock display from Apollo 12.

One giant leap for mankind...

As per those illustrations... Apollo 11's command module Columbia ("dove") splashed down on Tisha B'Av:

1.
The soul of Mashiach has two dimensions. One is the enlightenment that all of creation will enjoy; and one is that there will be an individual (or a couple) that will master mind and master heart this giant planetary-scale project of coordinating all of humanity into a single, smoothly operating organism, that will run as efficiently as a person's body. According to Kabbala, all of humanity, actually all of creation, is really a single partzuf, a single Adam. In fact, one main feature of messianic consciousness is a greater awareness of our oneness in this regard.
The distinguishing feature of this individual (or couple) is that he become the point of entry for the soul of Mashiach. The highest tip of our world contacts the lowest toenails of the hovering soul of Mashiach, and the highest tip of our world is the person Mashiach.

2.
"And the spirit of G-d hovered upon the waters." (Gen. 1:2) Midrash Rabba explains that this "spirit of G-d" hovering upon the waters is actually the "soul of Mashiach," a term that refers to the highest possible G-d awareness/truth awareness that human beings are capable of. The whole point of our six thousand year labor of teshuva and tikun, of trying to grow and evolve, is to stretch and refine our personal and collective vessels, so that this "spirit of G-d" "this soul of Mashiach" can finally fit inside, embodied as the messianic golden age. Now, it "hovers upon the waters" i.e., the shifting sands of our physical world, waiting for our vessels to evolve and expand enough to finally let it come in.

Glass-Half-Empty Consciousness of Tisha b'Av

this giant planetary-scale project of coordinating all of humanity into a single, smoothly operating organism

It's highly advanced, highly technical, so that I want it to be a point of pride for people here in Huntsville...

... For every American, this has to be the proudest day of our lives. And for people all over the world, I am sure they too join with Americans in recognizing what an immense feat this is. Because of what you have done, the heavens have become a part of man's world. And as you talk to us from the Sea of Tranquility, it inspires us to redouble our efforts to bring peace and tranquility to Earth. For one priceless moment in the whole history of man, all the people on this Earth are truly one...

Richard Nixon's Phone Call to the Moon

I'll come full circle here with something out of left field:

this "spirit of G-d" "this soul of Mashiach" can finally fit inside, embodied as the messianic golden age.

In her classic work Physica, the Christian mystic Abbess Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179) wrote of a little piece of metal or glass found at the base of the unicorn horn. This subsequently became lapis monoceros (unicorn stone), which was described as a red stone found at the base of a unicorn's horn. Lapis Monoceros was credited not only with all the powers attributed to unicorn horn but also with the power of projection (i.e. transmutation of base metals to gold) associated with the philosopher's stone, bringing us back to the lunar unicorn of alchemy.

The identity of the re'em is a big mystery:

ראם to rise, be high.
