My last blast for 2011 TIME IN A BOTTLE

I have had a very profound realization in the past couple days. Not to take anything away from the spirit of the holidays, but in consideration of some larger associated issues I arrived at a startling discovery about the James WEBB telescope that I have previously written about. I have written about the startling impact of the discoveries of the Kepler in the last few months of the year. How these should be much more seriously considered issues among the masses and the press, but they are almost completely overlooked or 'fringe' in the current cultural lexiconography.

I will briefly review my previous points here.;

The hubble telescope was a huge leap for telescope technology. Finally we had escaped the confines of the atmosphere and its damned distortions of 'pure' imagery. We could see light, traveling almost completely through the vacuum of space for millions and million of miles on journeys consisting of hundreds and thousands of years. Our ability to observe phenomena in space has taken us almost to looking back into the origins of the universe as if we were peering backward through time itself with every increase of clarity and projection resoultion technology. Even though this was astounding in its own right, there were still limitations with focal distance. For example, though hubble could observe large and distant massive bodies of light in the darkness of space, it could not, very well, pinpoint any planetary systems. And so scientists had begun to develop our present telescope the Kepler. Hubble went on spotting stars and checking them for compatability with our theories of planetary systems evolution, but it had to leave any definite discoveries for Kepler, which would take this data about the stars with the highest likelihood of planetary development - and examine them.

In video games from KOTOR to Mass Effect (and farther into the past) planetary systems navigation has been a regular feature of space-fiction videogames. Also in television like star trek, a system of planets is quite readily presented in a believeable and realistic way. It seems very old hat for the members of any USS Enterprise to visit a strange new world. Especially in TNG timeline. Regardless, I only bring this up because it seems that just as cellular communications, touch screen computers and plasma energy - we may be about to turn another science fiction notion into science fact.

See, right now these discoveries seem remote to us because we have no way to derive any immediate impact/benefit from it. Okay, so there are planets around stars, we already knew that didn't we ? In fact no. We had speculated and postulated and Sagan had even simulated how and where other planets might exist, but even concrete visual data escaped our actual grasp. Though the common person takes it for granted that planets exist in vast number in deep space, it is almost an irrelevancy because we lack the technology or drive as a society to make any use of such an assumption. We squabble and fight to keep our resources limited and the disparity of wealth high, but in actuality, there is an almost INFINITE supply of every material in the universe if we just figure out where exactly its located and how to get our hands on it.

Well, now, we are just a few steps away from solving the first part of that dilemma. We have found some places. Real worlds, in areas of solar systems similar to Earth, so that if the formation of intelligent humanoid life has anything to do with the conditions on our planet, it may now be more reasonable to also inferr that such an event may have come to pass elsewhere as well.

Now I want to reach out into the edge of human thought for a moment. The theories you are about to hear are based on analysis of technology that does not yet exist. The James Webb telescope should allow us to map planets surfaces that are light years away as clearly as we see our own world on google earth today. Indeed I hope to see a 'GOOGLE KEPLER20F' program very soon (nudge nudge google). What this means is that within 5 - 10 years we may discover a planet with cities. The first images of another world filled with another dominant intelligent species may be viewed within our lifetime. IMAGINE !

Again, there seems to be a sort of public apathy about it all because of sci-fi characterization of aliens. The younger generation, because of the science they grow up in and the fiction of their time - have much less difficulty with the notion that intelligent life probably exists elsewhere in the cosmos. But for people even nearing 100 years old, this is as astounding as a super sonic jet flight (though perhaps because of the rapid pace of development in their lifetimes they are also highly apathetic). So we see that as a species and as a function of technology we are moving ever cloer to these realities. But what will it mean?

Well, the one thing I have come to realise is that it will mean the creation of time portals will become a reality also. Let me tell you what I mean because I know right now you're probably crooking your brow thinking this is some crackpot nonsense... but I am really not the sort, I assure you ;p

This is what I mean. When the james webb comes online it will enable us to make detailed examinations of the surface of other worlds on par with google earth. The seeming problem with this operation is in fact its great gift to our species; the problem is that Kepler is 600 years away, so what is the benefit, really ? Well for us, beyond a sort of scientific novelty, there seems to be little to gain. But what if you were a Keplerian ? Suddenly, as of say 2015, these people on Earth have an ongoing and accurate window into conditions on the planet Kepler20f some 600 years ago. Now think about what that means. That means for us, that if another species is in the same position as us, and if they have reached this sort of technology before or relative to us, then an exchange with this species would provide us with FACTUAL records of our own origins. Think, if we can see whats happening on kepler 600 years ago, then some planet 2015 light years out from us, could in theory be watching the life of Jesus unfold (or not) right now ! We could witness detailed recordings of ancient historical events. The construction of the pyramids, what has happened to all those craft lost in the bermuda triangle, who shot kennedy ?.... everything ! In a sort of eery bible prophecy way it seems that indeed, ALL will be revealed. I just hope whoever is slated to 'judge' us takes us in context of all possibility and that we havn't been doing as bad a job as we are all generally told.


Either way though, our whole history back to the truth of adam and eve or the missing link can be explored through societal exchange with other worlds ! And we would be developing the ability to provide certain unique perspectives as well for others ! Truly a valuable goal, to have an interplanetary data exchange network like this which effectively allows viewing of any world at any time, from any angle.... now THAT's a database project, cataloguing the peoples, histories and worlds of the galaxy ! IMAGINE; The MSNBC/GE Berkshire McGoogle Galaxy app from the planet Earth ? Imagine even postulating such a notion 100 years ago, they probably would have experimented on your brain in a public forum to try and eliminate this deviation from normalcy.

I suppose people who have things to hide will not be pleased about this technological and diplomatic scheme of revelation, but as they've been telling us for years, if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear. Kind of like Minority Report meets Facebook ! hah ! Take that shadow government ! The light of knowledge is about to step it up. You can't stop an idea whos time has come and you can't keep good people down forever ;p I think the revelation of truth, though scary at times, is its own reward in many instances. Science keeps pushing us in the direction of enhanced knowledge, but there seem to be concerted forces against free access to it. The economy now contains unlimited currency, yet we still can't feed the hungry people of the world... we need to get our house in order, perhaps seeing another house - even far off- will finally inspire us to some action on this front. After all, if you know that guests may be arriving you generally make some preparations. I can barely wait to surf on the silvery mercury crests of the metallic-ocean moons of Alpha Centuri... or whevever they are... I will probably listen to Joe Satriani at the time.

Why I'm a tele fan

With the discovery of yet another 'earth like planet' in the 'habitable zone' of a 'sun like star' this week, I wanted to take a moment and discuss the impressive growth we have experienced in this area for some time now and some potential effects on the space industry as a whole.

With Hubble we became able to seek out and positively identify stars and formations at varying distances from our own spot in the universe. The range, accuracy and detail available through the Hubble program were state of the art, and also gave a great example of data from space projects that can have a viable impact here at home. Hubble set the standard for its era, but also enabled scientists to create a catalogue of their 'favourite' stars where life might exist because of more preferable stellar conditions than might exist in another region. Though impressive in its own right, these revelations did little to alter general paradigms, no 'game changers' were likely to result from Hubble for the common person. But now we have Kepler.



The Kepler telescope is the next chapter in this epoch of development. With this satellite, and the data gleaned from the Hubble program, we are able to peer far deeper into the details of these stellar systems we had previously bookmarked. The rate of discovery from the Kepler telescope has been staggering, every announcement could herald the discovery of a species of extra-planetary beings. Every day we ride the wake-crest of this exciting possibility into uncharted waters for the human experience.

Here on earth, we are turning LEO control over to the private sector, with the larger goal of governments beginning to press outward into the expanse. Though few details are emerging into the public domain at this time, the technological potential of our species is nearly boundless. In a few years the entire american economy was converted into the mightiest army complex the planet had hitherto witnessed. In this age of suppressed technological awareness, infinite money and digital integration there is little that someone with the will and connections could not produce. What the mind can conceive, it can achieve.

Kepler began by identifying systems with short period planets, like mercury, whose orbit lasts only a few months. Once the telescope confirms more than one sighting, it will confirm that planetary bodies do in fact exist around star candidates. The Kepler team now projects that nearly 20% of all stars contain planetary bodies within their solar systems. While that is certainly encouraging for mining colony development, the team has also projected that only about 5% of all stars have any planets in the habitable zone. Nevertheless the potency of these discoveries should not be understated. For the FIRST TIME in our history, we have the optic technology to reach across time and space and examine other worlds. The fact that this exceptional nature of the discoveries in our time is so unnoticed must surely speak greatly to either public apathy or public suppression. How can we as a people not be truly captivated by these discoveries. These days we live in are surely among the most profound in our history. We could be plunged into a third world war almost any day, or we could discover another race of beings, or perhaps be discovered by them !!

I don't mean to sound extreme here. In fact I would suggest people who think my views are extreme should read up on Richard Dolan and his work. Not because I find Dolan extreme in any measure, much the contrary. His academic, balanced and thorough examination of social and technical issues around planetary affairs is one of the most reasonable and factual examinations and his conjectures are also enlightening. Though I have differences of opinion on some matters with Dolan, surely, there is tremendous knowledge in his uncovering the depth and nature of secrecy in our society around these such issues. His references to the NSA having 650Mhz computers in the 1960s is a great example to someone so familiar with computer technology as I am. That would be equivalent to saying that they had flying cars powered by banana skins to an automotive tech, by comparison.

Regardless, I digress, but Dolan, though somewhat exploited by the "UFO" community is a truly able researcher and a balanced presenter. You should check him out. Where I wanted to end this though was on discussion of the James Webb telescope which is the next generation to be deployed in the next few years. Just has Hubble was able to track star candidates, we now are beginning to identify planetary candidates in a like manner. When the James Webb is deployed in just a few years time, it will enable scientists to view the planet candidates in a way the reflects the leap forward that Kepler was over Hubble. So what am I getting at here ? It means that in the next year or so, if Kepler identifies more Earth Type planets, Webb will then be able to look at their surfaces and the data be posted much as we would look at Google Earth images of our own little world here. The interesting thing, is that we may find another civilization out there. If we did, and there is any correlation between our development timeline, we would be watching their world go through its own 'late medieval age', c.1400-1600. Even though that is true, they may be just as advanced, looking at us in the present day, but looking on our history, perhaps recording it for us as we would for them. In this way, one of our first exchanges may involve accurate records of our history ! What an interesting concept, that two so disparate cultures may be the only key to truly unlocking the mysteries of each others past.

Still, I hope not to draw too much attention to this amazing possibility, but rather to generally try and provoke some appreciation of the truly remarkable possibilities that exist. How special a time we are in and how we might not be the only ones out there. And if we are, all the better, that means that if you and I or our kids, or their kids get our shit together enough, they could potentially be, like, planetary governors working in a inter planetary society which develops the resources of many worlds for the benefit of all mankind.

On the other hand, the further we explore and reach out, we may find that we are only a little player in a big game. If that is the case I hope we can distinguish ourselves sufficiently to secure some reason for existing at all. This business of butchering our own people, exploiting and abusing natural resources and exercising policy from the absolute WEAKEST diplomatic intentions is surely not going to be a welcome contribution to galactic affairs. If we wish to integrate or lead a planetary civilization we will have to be more evolved than we presently are. Now what do I mean more evolved ? We already really know... talking our problems out, working together, being motivated and motivational for one another, having great dreams with both immediate and long term implications, innovation, discovery, great love !

I truly hope we make it and the culprits behind the present darkness are discovered and economy begins to serve the peoples interests again, instead of the people serving only the economy. The supreme courts of the world have ruled that corporations are legal people, but that doesn't mean those people can't be assholes.

The Demise of Online Privacy & Random Rants

I have long been a proponent of the developer position of 'what appears on my screen is my property'. Copyright law is a valid concern surely. As a function of intellectual property it is essential. Nevertheless infringing on the privacy of the average person to create profiles and collect personal and perhaps the most private of information is not acceptible. I have never understood why a regular postal message has such privacy rights, but an email is like writing a letter from prison. It may (and you should assume will) be vetted by professionals -with the highest medical and scientific training possible (sarcasm). My point here is that people who work in data collection have no idea or experience with the social factors they manipulate. What is worse; to send a picture of my nipples to a friend in a private corrispondance of a jocular nature, or that someone may dig that up some day and reveal my niipples and their sorted history online? I say its far worse to invade people so. Ron Paul recently stated something quite profound in the debates "...if we wanted, yes, we could put a police officer in every living room in american and that might even reduce ALL crime, but then the real crime is against the people themselves by their governmnet." While I certainly agree that, though despised, governing authority is necessary, I am afraid that moreover I side with the globalists in the view that our present national models are provincial. But then that is a very arrogant attitude since 80% of the people of the world are NOT savvy metro-capital 21st century beings yet. They have the potential to become that very quickly now, but there is a serious learning curve required for such drastic changes to a people.



doggie-pooper-scooper

I am and have always been quite fond of Mr Rogers on this topic. Yes, the TV neighbour with the cartigan and slippers who somehow remained single (in character)for some 50 years. Fred, in the real world, he was a minister and a childrens entertainer and he also was a radical open source advocate. He believed we had a right to make mix tapes, especially of public content. If someone, for example, pays for a DVD, why should they not have rights to it in perpetuity, not when a new medium comes out they must repurchase, how is that the consumers fault ? That is market manipulation of the worst sort to have IP everyone wants and resell them the same piece over and ove rjust in differing mediums ? What a rip. With public or educational programs especially, there should be as much encouragement for copying and redistribution as possible. Anyway, I can do the topic no justice, if you're interested you should youtube his congressional testimony. He was totally responsable for the inclusion of a record button on all of our VCRs in the 80s, and tape decks for music, news, state announcements. See part of the privelage of copying is the right to maintain your own life experiences also. You should be able to own whatever films you want for as long as you want and it should be no ones business in the world.Now, with netflix for example, it is a whole new device, you own nothing, they collect complete data. At the end of the day if anything happens to netflix, you got nothing. And it is especially worrysome in this era of electronic warfare potential. An EMP placed in just a few places could destroy large swathes of the internet. Financial records, encyclopaedia, so much, business data, etc... All could be lost and without a well established and well distributed base of public knowledge there is no way to retrieve it. So even though terrorists may use e-mail me or you (generally speaking) are not one of them, so the practice seems somewhat "unwarranted" hah! And that's another thing too, in the name of "you old guys just dont get it, we should do this" the lawmakers of the day are going in the complete opposite direction from everything they claim to love and support. Most congressmen probably very much dislike online intrusion, public scandal, but these people CHOOSE to be put to this scrtiny in exchange for the privelage of service they recieve, you and I are born bound into citizenship, so some allowances of absolute freedom must be maintained. We see all tooo clearly that economic methods seldom enhance the freedom of the many. Religion provides little respite in the modern epoch as well... so where does one turn. Hopefully government, which in most democratic republics is PLEDGED to be the vanguard of mans freedom against greater forces. NOPE, our governments are turning us out and enabeling (if anything) these problems to persist. If is often cited that more people die from lightening strikes or bee stings than terror every year, a statistic to which the security muggles would reply "see aren't we doing a good job?" but the truth is we have no way to judge (based on one event 911) how effective they have been at all. One thing is FOR SURE though, liberty and freedom of person have been and continue to be drastically reduced every day. Thre is almost nothing left of sacred institutions that used to be cultural tells. In canada, the only thing remaining from several cycles of conservative fire sales is healthcare (just wait and see how long that hangs around, its already brutalized) and in america it was FREEDOM. They didn't have jobs, they didn't have any more money, but they still had the dream, the freedom... very quickly that seems to be a lucury of the past. One which, in these austere times, we just cannot afford to enjoy anymore.

Being a Space Pirate a crime ? Not if you don't come back.

SPACE PIRATE LOG

Though I am pretty buttoned down now that I'm getting older, I think everyone holds a secret rebel streak somewhere inside forever. Well, I just can't hold back anymore, so here it is; Deep down inside, I really want to be a space pirate. So, what , you may be asking, is a space pirate ? Well, let me tell you. Basically I wake up one day, its pretty early, still dark. Maybe even winter. I go through a pretty normal, if slightly futuristic (holo mirrors) morning routine. I take the dog out, drink a coffee, have a smoke, and look at the moon as it hangs in the remaining blackness of this days revolution. Then it happens, everything gets a little weird. I double check my carry on, I open the closet and put on my metallicish pressure suit. I fire up the portable life support box and plug in. Everything is ready, except the helmet. I kiss my puppy on the head and tell him I'll be back... and I love him. I go out to the barn and get in my spaceship. Only a few people know about it now, but soon, everyone will know its name forever. I pause and think. Think about so much. Check my watch. It is time.

I power on the computer and watch it boot. The engine ready light is activated, and I depress it. The gentle hum of operational activity is both comforting in its innovation and perfection, and terrifying in its purpose. I depress the flight controls activate to manual button, the controls present themselves on mounted tablet computers at the 'end of the chair arm' in my tiny cockpit in a very natural and comfortable position. Everything is next gen. Everything is crisp. I vent the startup plasmas then put on my helmet.

Slowly the craft rises 2 feet from the pad. I press the departure gate opener and it opens as seamlessly as the slickest suburban garage door in july. I slowly guide the craft forward out the door. I double check the systems as me and her pass through the portal, life looks good, emf systems, kenetic dampeners, everything's green. Away we go, I switch the viewscreen to split views and begin to guide it up. Radar and EF on. Up it goes, steadily. About the height of a small plane the view and feel is familiar to flying such a plane, except the rate of vertical climb. Not terribly fast, but pretty much direct, just rising like a guided balloon with nearly 360* view... prety neat. All systems still green. I increase the rate of ascent, but not enough to appear ballistic, the last thing I want is a domestic military confrontation, though that may be a foregone conclusion - I'm not sure why my overlords are sooo determined to keep me here, but I guess we'll find out... up, we go...

Past the point of normal propellor effecincy now, I worry more about detection, though I have taken precautions for stealth, they have had to be offset with concerns of safety, like radio, broadband, computer systems... I know I'm noticible at this level, I have taken precautions to remain outside normal air lanes, but that may in fact be the problem... I know I'm flying an unregistered craft, but I feel like I belong to something bigger than a petty regulation, any of them, I am ascending all the little problems of that world. As expected, the radio comes alive. There is a cordial though firm request for identification, the time has come... I contact the few journalists that were pre-arranged to receive the downlinks. My little ship is covered in corporate logos as a peace offering, but we'll see how it goes. The journalists are already tracking it all on civil viewing satellites from orbit and I'll get this front line footage out to them starting now... we're recording and broadcasting to youtube, all so indie. I identify with my radio digits, and go to some length to drag the process out as I continue to ascend, nothing on radar yet, must be a base... I'm so excited I forget their callsign....

They process my info quite quickly and inform me I am not cleared for anything of the sort i am attempting, but they do not understand that THAT is the very essence, a requirement of the act itself. How should I be so restrained from coming and going to and from the Earth as I please. I have taken every precaution, I created my own technology and vessel... today is the day, no such permit even exists for what I'm doing here... what else are the options... this is how innovation lives...

They advise me to alter course to about 50,000 heading W and hold. I decline with a proper ettiquite and begin to explain the situation, but they do not want to listen, so we tie up the radio bickering and getting emotional, then an IM "incoming". Shit, I don't see anything on radar, a stealth fighter and missile, I drop three flares and frost-shield the ship. About 20m below me they detonate... from that info the computer works out the planes likely location and shows me... 3 F35s, shit, SHIT ! I am on the radio, a few messages are coming in, and the journalists are going live.... suddenly we're plugged into a few thousand computers around the world as this unfolds..... todays the day !

The jet interceptors scream past, very close... either intentionally or as a result of their speed and the small size of my craft... such a barbaric technology... they are circling back....... I know I can out yaw them, but I dont want to push the speeds to high.... I ascend more quickly and engage an evasive movement pattern, but they are fast, and the pilots are good.... they are firing some shots at me now... shit... I dont have much defense against such a savage kinetic attact if it hits, just destiny, but either they're warning shots again or I'm too small..... if I can hold out for another few minutes I can get too high for their engines to work... another missile, shit, I breathe deep and cut a hard 90* the missle goes screaming past and I flare out while the internal cockpit spins away the incredible g's by flinging me through some centrifigual training. Once I get my bearings I hit it, I am accelerating very very quickly, my body is not happy about any of this.... I feel dizzy, sick, sweaty and shitty... I wont survive many more volleys like this, but I must get out of here either way.....the jets pursue me as high as they can straight up, they keep good enough pace but after 75k, its over, they go wild with missile fire, but I can easily flare them out from above... I am pretty safe now. I check life support, green, I take off my helmet...get the bonnet and puke my face off.... water, I need water... this damned ship is hot as hell... I drink... I breathe.... Then I look up........... Majestic... the beauty of the planet, our existance, everything, revealed. This was why I did this.... I dont know what it means, but this is why.

Suddenly as if lightening hit me (or was about to) I snap out of it and realize that my radar is going INSANE ! You ever wake up and then you realize there are noises happening, and they were happening the whole time, but you had blocked them out or something. Well it was like that, a hundred blinking warnings, all cameras tracking, incredible velocities.... shit, the debris ! I am not entitled to any charts of the entry holes, so I knew this would happen, luckily my craft moves in complete 3D, and has a pretty quick computer.... I set it to navigate me up a few dozen km and hold on tight... the computer knows what my body can handle, but I've been fucking with this AI on my own too and it knows that sometimes there are acceptible margins of risk within parameters... otherwise it probably wouldn't have let me lift off.

The craft is jerking wildly left and right, I winch up my suit belts but I risk restricting my organs and causing a rupture if I press it too much.... I decide on prayer instead.... I know that the recordings of this probably dont look too good at this point, but shit, you know, you only live once, right ?

finally the jerking deminishes its frequency. just the odd little bump of the last few course corrections as we enter the more useful spacelanes. The viewer maps out locations of various satellites and objects in this layer with ease... eventually the ship stops, and the previously breathtaking view is outdone by the nearly entirely spherical view before me.... I know its a bit of a stretch but I cry... The ship is just a ball in space... beside another ball in space... the whole thing gets very existential, but I digress... I am shaking. Panicing.... I feel so strange being away from the Earth... my internets are cutting in and out because of the debris field below.... I didn't realize the power I would need to blast through it with integrity, but we're still able to get online for short bursts here and there... I am getting IMs.... I dont know how to respond.... I dont know if I'm okay... I was just shot at, shaken up and now am, well, lost in space.... what am I gonna do ?!

Shit, okay, I need to get to the ISS... I look it up, I can make a rendezvous in about 27 minutes... I plot it. Not to dock , but to synch up... communicate... ask for advice.... I take some time now to take proper photos... check the systems...drink... shit, I'm getting low on water... its so heavy, shit.

The ISS enters my ranges, and I theirs..... I set my radio and broadcast over a traditional STAR TREK hailing sound (lol) ... I resend as I approach and begin synchronous orbit with the station... I know there is a live broadcast happening, so maybe they will not be able to take my call right away, I'll pop in the coupola..... the radio lights up before I am in view of the coupola, its another request for ID, from the ISS.... I explain the situation a little... there is no response... I'm in the coupola now.... I can see the startled astronauts looking slack jawed for a couple minutes, then another one shows up and they start fiddling with the camera.. cutting the feed, I know. The radio is back, I am frought with emotion and cannot properly articulate what I wish to convey... the IM arrives ... "got it" I was on NASA TV ! everything is going according to plan.... and now the next step... whats the plan.

The ISS eventually comes back on and advises that I return to Earth immediately, that I may be in violation of many laws and I will soon be contacted by authorities... I should also retreat from the ISS ... as if I have any intention to harm anyone !

I comply and indicate I will be standing by. I retain a close orbit, but I am racing in my mind for what to do next... going back to the earth seems like a bad idea all of a sudden... I knew the airships would try and stop me, but I thought I'd get here and something amazing would happen, but I feel very trapped, scared. I bring up info on the moon... shit, the water...

Why Violence is the Problem....Still....

Cain, by Henri Vidal, Jardin des Tuileries, Paris
The Original Gangsta, WINNING !

I have participated in two wars and know that war ends when it has rolled through cities and villages, everywhere sowing death and destruction. For such is the logic of war. ~Khruschev

I would like to explain a little why I am so opposed to violence. Mortal violence that is non accidental has been a bane of our species for thousands of years. Indeed biblically, the proto-humans Cain and Able provide us with a fitting example and also a comprehensive deterrent. (who wants to work instead of some bio-technical paradise, really?)

Through the feudal dark ages, the entire 'age of the sword' really, brute force was the backbone of political will and lifestyle decisions to a very large degree. It was ever thus. This is also why so many people were disappointed that Jesus didn't bring the noise, but I digress.

Upon the advent of firearms a whole new ballgame opened up. Brutal though it was, the same lesson of mutually assured destruction first reared its ugly head. See, I think we believe we live in a some situation that warrants our taking it for granted, but the fact that we do not go to sleep at night to the sounds of nearby gunshots or missile strikes is something we have held based on our ability to totally destroy the species. Our martial force has become so severe that if one person was to truly rise against authoritarianism in this age it may mean the utter destruction of the species and planet. This is totally juvinile and unacceptable and it should be the absolute outrage of all of us that our 'peace and security' rests on the threat of absolute destrustion of all life as we know it.

KABOOM!!! Up yours humanity, beat it !!!

This was a very prominent feature of the cold war and also the cuban missile crisis. So the ultimate solution we have adopted is very similar to the nazi ideologies we employed all our defences against in the second world war. Indeed the main problem with Naziism and Communism was the employment of violence on a grand scale under these incredible new political and economic methodologies. What we seem to be witnessing now is the fulfillment of capitalism as described by Marx. Marx postulated thus:::

capitalism, like slave society and feudalism, also has critical failings - inner contradictions which will lead to its downfall. The working class, to which the capitalist class gave birth in order to produce commodities and profits, is the "grave digger" of capitalism. The worker is not paid the full value of what he or she produces. The rest is surplus value - the capitalist's profit, which Marx calls the "unpaid labour of the working class." The capitalists are forced by competition to attempt to drive down the wages of the working class to increase their profits, and this creates conflict between the classes, and gives rise to the development of class consciousness in the working class. The working class, through trade union and other struggles, becomes conscious of itself as an exploited class.

In the view of classical Marxism, the struggles of the working class against the attacks of the capitalist class lead the working class to establish its own collective control over production - the basis of socialist society. Marx believed that capitalism always leads to monopolies and leads the people to poverty; yet the fewer the restrictions on the free market, (e.g. from the state and trade unions) the sooner it finds itself in crisis. Marx is rather vague in his explanation of how the working class will come to consciousness.'

I pray in earnest that the way 'the working class would come to consciousness' was not the same as how the Bolshevics Peasants rose up as recently as the beginning of the last century; food riots, open violence against established authority. Civil war. I have always seen the sense of Marx view on this subject. It seems painfully obvious now that the stages of capitalism that Marx identified have been fulfilled. It may be that the victory of capitalism during earlier stages will be seen as a necessary stage of the rise of equality. Indeed because of the ideals of freedom and prosperity, western life has always been somewhat less severely violent against its citizens as compared to many other nations. This does not discount the severe number of prisoners, people who are again violently restrained by the state from their normative behaviour, in the western nations - many of whom are non violent and would not be criminal even by the measure of statutes if their circumstances, options or opportunities were different.

Nothing new under the sun

Irregardless of all this, what concerns me is not so much this blatent historical warnings against super violence (especially state sponsored) it is the modern manifestation of old behaviours. I grew up over the 80s and 90s as a young person. While there was always some distant tension in the middle east or something on the whole things seemed on the up and up. The berlin wall came down (woooooooooooooo) in 89 and the 90's was a period of trade development, Seinfeld comedy about the trivialities of modern living, and ultra psychadelic cartoons with quasi-too-adult-themes for children (thank you Don Blooth ;). I recall a basically positive vibe from the time, perhaps it is just some nostalgia for 'the good old days' now that I am supposed to be beyond enjoying hand-animated stories from the edge of the mind. I have always been rather aware and interested politically through my maturation. Never did I support the war on terror, even when it started. I truly appreciate the right of a nation to protect and defend itself, I appreciate the same right for an individual as well. If one is attacked, or the possiblility exists that one may be, there is certainly no reasonableness to a lack of properly measured defensive military spending and activity. But this should always be the absolute last resort in ANY situation, any sort of extra-national military force should be absolutely unnecessary. But there again we come to a serious issue in the modern mind, we are right now, this day committing open wars of aggression. We can use whatever pretext we want, of course in the modern age of 'defensive response' we could not just say "ohhh we're gonna invade here and here and take their shit and people and money" Not in hundreds of years has anyone been so blatent. The comunists were Liberators !! The Nazis were Superior !! And now Amerika is Liberators !! ... really ? Hopefully this isn't a pattern. I'd hate it if Islam really did try and get all superior on us right now.... or china : o

As I recall my childhood, this would probably have scared me

Military conflict has ALWAYS existed on this planet... within our species... our hearts as a people. Some of us have only known it, some of us have fought against it, and some of us have not seen it yet. But if we are not vigilant as protectors of the democratic ideal and we are not judicious in our prudence and our duty as free citizens we stand to loose it. The only thing required for the success of evil men is that good people do nothing. SO let us consider the occupy movement. They are now beginning to suffer the full force of paper law and police violence applied against them. The first one does not concern me so much, ultimately we all have a right or at least the freedom to disregard paper laws if we so choose or if reason demands. 'I was following the law' didn't work at nuremburg and it seldom works in life at all when the shit comes down.

A well reasoned viewpoint, even in opposition is always more welcome than blind biggotry. Indeed, perhaps it is the very essence of a gentleman, but it has always been the DUTY of people of higher station in economy or service to make sure they kept the interests and well being of those not as gentle or knowledgable in a good condition. This was done as much out of self interest as any high christian ideal, but it was greatly employed to the benefit of cities across our present society. Andrew Carnegie, for example built nearly EVERY library in Ontario that is more than 50 years old. Bill Gates personally donated most computers in libraries that Carnegie built. These two gifts have resulted in population both literate and technologically enabled at their leisure. The benefits are obvious for both, for carnegie it raised the overall popular intellect, thus people would want more steel, more growth, more economy, more to learn and see and read ! For Gates, it has helped make the society nearly completely dependant on his products and financial clout both at the same time. But even though these visionary exploiteers have given back, they have surely taken. All of the fortune 500 companies are in the worst possible positions. The compaines are flooded with money, very few people have it, or many have it in small quantities... but no one can really access it, no one is leveraging for public projects like the hoover damm or the apollo program. We are at a period of our history where we have TRULY EXPLOSIVE wealth in infinite amounts.... the power this gives our species is awesome, it has NEVER EXISTED before where we could just up and print 100 trillion dollars... that wouldn't even make sense in previous epochs of our economic development, but now it does and we have lost vision. It seems we do not handle success well. If the 1% of wallstreet financed out 25% of their money and spread it around to people , we'd all be rich off the dividends. But that isn't gonna happen mostly because of a super fractal financial system. No one is really IN CHARGE of companies now. There are not many super mega business leaders now that Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are pretty much out of the game. I would say Elon Musk, but that's exactly my point, how many people really even know who that is in popular culture. No one is leading innovating, young, sexy... you know like Kennedy, VISION. Don't get me wrong, there are lots of excellent leaders in their fields, but no Einstein of our time, if you follow.

Jesus' brother from another mother.

Why this all comes up is because now in America and here in Canada too, we are witnessing the worst sort of domestic tyranny unfolding. When the liberals had majorities here the conservatives didn't bitch about them destroying the nation, they we're just like "ohhh you back room fat cats we can do even MORE for canadians !!!" But now that they have merged, paid cash and shattered the nation into allowing them unfettered access to the future of this land, all the minority parites and the majority of the people cry out for an end to the destruction of the institutions and traditions they loved and that made us #1 in the world for that decade of the 90s... even better than America, we were a better place. Now I see us as one in the same with one VITAL difference, we still have socialism for medicare... a little (thank you Mr Douglas). Other than that, especially here in Ontario, we're like a state, not a part of Canada as we should be, and I suggest this radiates from the pen rooms of Ottawa.

In both Canada and America, we see the police beginning to bear down on the occupy groups. The 'rights' we admired about america are now enshrined in beaurocracy. And worse still the corporate influence on governmental affairs has become nearly complete through both corruption and open means. Canada used to pride itself on every point of devision of ideology from its southern neighbour. We were kind of like a wise old broad (the queen) living upstairs and we kind of could cock a snot from time to time and say *tsk tsk you big stupid baby. Now our laws and courts cite far more american cases than english, though the english is also more and more modelled on american and international framework all the time as well. My point is this, violence is now being openly employed against a dissatisfied group of protesters. I mean seriously, no one has even addressed these people, like in public... you know, like obama sends out a memo and says, all you wallstreet motherfukkers all over the nation, come to the whitehouse and we'll get some petetions going and committees formed and delegate leadership and you know, get a large "pisseed off citizens" committee going using the latest in technology and shit and all that.... LEADERSHIP....

No instead we see tyranny. Is this the fault of the president himself ? Partly, but it is also ours. There is no clear leadership to this protest, none that is commonly known anyway, but still, what is it they want ? More jobs, more money, higher taxes on the rich, a voice in democracy, and end to war ? Are any of their ideas that bad ? Is anyone making sure they all understand the options of participatory democracy available to them ? Though I believe no effort has been made to formally listen to/ address/ appease the protesters, that is secondary to the fact that violence is now being employed against them. These are people who have beliefs, what they believe to be unaccountable legitimate grievances and human emotions. If people of principal and social responsability continue to exercise our right to make the wrong choice about violence in our domestic applications of law - how long will it really be until the citizens seek to apply equal force in defence of their ideals and their security of the person ?

Nothing new under the sun.

Our present system of economy, politics and segregation of resources may be coming to an end. If our species is to unify and grow instead of having its divisions ripenand cause usto set limits on our potential (population) then we need to seriously consider getting a strong vision going. Instead of trying to save the desert from getting spanked by its pimp every day, why doesn't America start a WAR ON DEATH ? I'm straight up serious. I consider death to be more deadly than drugs, muslims, protesters and car emissions COMBINED. If we spent the amount of straight up money we do on military on medicine and space exploration we'd all be flying ironman suits powered off farts to Neptune this weekend and we'd be 300 years old... and look sexy... and cheeseburgers would make your dick/tits bigger.

Obviously this blog wont stop human violence or the gathering storm (to evoke Churchill), but at least I hope I have stated some of the problems we are facing with brute violence on the rise, its historical precedent and problems and that there are other options available. The real problem is violence in our society. Wall street only has the ability to do what it has been doing to people because it has bought the law. Law under such durress will surely not be obeyed by well read citizens... it is a crisis indeed. Without strong popular leadership all may be lost... but without a strong and singleminded to non-violence like Ghandi or MLK we will digress back in to a society of superiority by force... we will spread death instead of conquering it .... and people wonder if good and evil exist ;p

Now with Vitamin Co+cK^2x

An Exercise in Examination of the History of the Human Phenomena and Associated Implications

Section 1.a A Brief History of the First History

Well lets start at the beginning shall we ? In most ancient texts I have examined, the first character is often also the most voluminous topic and the very basis for the rest of the story and existence itself. As an example I will use the generally accepted first verse of the first book most common to most cultures...

The Bible/Torah>Genesis>1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the Earth.

In my understanding, this is meant to illustrate that in the beginning of everything we know or can know, God created both the seen (physical, matter, energy, etc) and the unseen (energy, quanta, information, 'spirits', etc). Therefore, as we are meant to understand it, there was some beginning and at that event 'God' created everything.

So, what is this God ? So far as we might understand this verse God is the one who created everything we know or can know. Thats a pretty tall order, but it is a valid point as a matter of language. Whatever it is we come to know as God we must accept that He (or it if you prefer) is responsible for everything we know or can know. Thusly, no matter what dalliance we employ in our interpretations we must always be cognizant of the notion that WE did not create everything, it is not ours, as it were - not exclusively at any rate. So God is the owner, the creator, the intelligent designer of everything everywhere. So far, so good?

If we cannot agree on this most basic of introductory concepts it will not likely be of much utility for you to read any further. I do not believe that everything is just 'random' and I must confess that although I could accept a theory that the universe has simply ALWAYS existed and so there is no need for a creator, in that interpretation God would still exist as we have created it and it permeates things and time in ways we cannot understand through science at present. Things like psychic phenomena, the mastery of inter-dimensional realms, etc. God would always exist even if it is only as the highest form of consciousness when we finally attain that ourselves; A collective singularity, all knowledge, all power and benevolence and reason and prime motivation will always belong to this most supreme being as long as there are entities who must toil, suffer, think and exist in a physical plane as we do - in my opinion, of course.

1.b Highly scientific Biblical notions still not completely understood, certainly not in their origins

Next in this saga of the beginnings, we are presented with the idea that there was created somehow matter and spirit, and then LIGHT was manifest to produce a sort of bridge (wavicle) between the two (the Earth from verse 1:1 seem to be taken as for granted that it existed or was the focal point of the whole exercise and its subsequent effects). Without light, we would have no perception of matter, energy, self, anything really, so light seems to be the next closest thing to creation itself or the essence of God as it were. And so, then there was light, if there is any linear progression of this manifestation from beginning to end - and though it is seldom commented upon, the veracity of this proposition still seems sensible and astounding today; If matter and energy were formed at all, light would have been one of the very first proofs or experiences of this event. Even in high-end models of the big bang theory, at a few seconds after creation there would only be extremely hot plasma or nearly pure light energy laced with intangibles like vectors, forces, etc, which would then spew out and dissipate into solid matter and various energetic forces we now take for granted today.

I would like to interject a pet point of mine here. I do not particularly subscribe to the theory that existence is hundreds of millions of years old (the relationship between carbon dating and all forms of intense radiation is, at best, lacking).I shall hope to clarify this in more detail as we go, but for now consider it thusly;

If I was to erect a boiler and insert a nuclear rod, and behold I could produce energy for a small town for many many many years at capacity above any reasonable requirement, that would be nuclear power. Fair enough ? Now what if I told you I could expend that energy in an instant and all that would remain would be somewhat intangible radiation for thousands of years ? "MADNESS!" you would cry, then BOOM, an atomic explosion... that same amount of energy that would take hundreds of years to expend would be used up in one brilliant flash lasting only a few seconds. This is the nature of cosmological phenomena when we consider a creation event, the energy would be so massive and so complex as to defy our current understandings of time and space, and it may very well be that the entire reaction took only 7 days...or our sense of time is skewed by our relative position (see general and special relativity by A. Einstein). I say only 7 days very cautiously; you will say "come now, ONLY 7 days?!!" , but I would say to you; imagine a nuclear explosion of millions of megatons that combusted and continued consistently to burn and combust for even one 24hr day straight ! This amount of energy is well beyond most of our reckoning, and it is just possible that there are nuclear, radioactive or quantum reactions that we have yet to master with our understanding of atomic physics mostly attained in the latter part of the 1800s.

Perhaps 'God' being Lord of all information and existance, is more clever than we are giving him credit for at present.

1.b2 About seperation from the pure source - the only day not deemed good by God.

But I digress ;p The next point and a very interesting one is something, again, seldom addressed in the information I am privy to,namely, the firmament. Indeed, what is it that controls surface tension of water, why is there separation between the ocean and the sky ? Is it gravity ? Certainly not exclusively! Is it thermal ? Quite possibly this is a little closer to the mark... is it chemical bonding ? What is it ? Whatever it is it is the next thing God dealt with, He created a barrier caused by density or temperature, or whatever; a sort of layering - a process of separation, as it were. Anyone with appreciation of chemistry will really take to this...if it were not for this type of density layering, nothing we know chemically would exist. Everything would have remained mono-atomic.

So here again we are presented with a highly advanced scientific concept in ancient texts that remains interesting and fundamental to early creation science (and science in general) today.

1.c Land vs. DRY Land

Next, lakes were formed, but it seems unreasonable to assume this means OCEANS in my opinion. Gathering the waters and allowing DRY land to appear sounds more like channeling through rivers and water tables as the planet absorbed fluid H20 from the sky and cooled and more water was brought down from the swirling gasses above. The reason I make this point is because in the later deluge, it would be required that the waters would have had to be pushed up all over the face of the earth again, but this does not seem sufficient to explain mass extinctions that occoured on the earth and the great expansion of the landmass (ocean floor) has surely absorbed waters far in addition to this initial provision that could be 'gathered up' to form mere lakes or seas that existed at the time.

It sounds to me like the liquid state of the atmosphere started to form all over the earth as water when cooling allowed this layering between the sky and earth, and the waters were gathered up into lakes around the globe.... we know this is more likely because the ocean bed has been proven to be quite young (70,000,000 years our of supposed 3.5 Billion of earth existance or about 0.02% of our history, which means that for the first 99.98% of our history the ocean floor did not really exist as we percieve it today (if at all) if we take the figures of 3.5 billion and 70 million seriously)...so at sometime (see Noah) the Earth was inundated with water from a new source and it adjusted to accomodate that new source after some 40 days of flooding and turmoil- which we shall examine in much more detail later on. Suffice it to say that I believe Pangea was the original crust over all the earth composed solely of the continental land masses we now see (albeit in perhaps a different distribution somewhat), and not that there was one massive landmass on the middle of one side, and then some 75% of the other side of the earth was devoid of land and covered in a massive ocean and the planet was the same size as today... if one really considers it for more than 10 minutes, this is really quite apparent (Pangea images).

In English translations these verses seem to denote that the waters may have been gathered in one place (i.e. a global ocean), but it would be more appropriate I think to say they "retreated to their place(s)" in English [not leastof which because we know waters at least collected in more than one body, not only one massive lake or ocean in the center of the map] . I.E. ;

GEN 1:9 And God said, "Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear." And it was so. ...

But from my examination of Hebrew and Greek ancient sources it seems better to read it in english as:

""After this, God commanded (or caused) that the waters, which were seperated from the sky (below the firmament), should retreat into their proper place(s) and allow dry Earth to form...."" [whereas before the whole Earth was likely a muddy, mucky, mist laden ball as the atmosphere and terrain sorted themselves out. It has even been postulated by theologic scholars that no rain had ever properly occurred before the time of Noahs flood ]

We even see that the term the text uses is seas [severeal], such large bodies as the OCEANS (or pan global ocean of Pseudo-Pangean models) may not have existed at that time, for example in most of history the SEVEN seas were commonly thought of as the Mediterranean Sea, including its marginal seas, notably the Aegean Sea.,the Adriatic Sea, the Arabian Sea (which is now part of the Indian Ocean), the Black Sea, the Caspian Sea, the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea, including the closed Dead Sea and the Sea of Galilee

These were the oldest classical seven seas by most accounts for many years, though the term obviously expanded or changed over time and with exploration, but the idea here is that these seas are in no way adequate for the description OCEANS and there was no name given to our present OCEANS in the ancient world (barring any mention of Atlantis, which we may address later also, but especially the Pacific).

Now there are two obvious schools of thought that must emerge from these considerations;
a) no one had explored the oceans well enough to know what to call them and the areas to the far west was just the 'great western sea' or b) the massive expanse of oceans simply did not exist at this phase of our origins/or were vastly different (smaller) that we now know them.

For one moment I would like to again digress to Pangean theories; in my studies of space and earth sciences I produced a study on glaciers. It is widely hypothesized that glaciers are solely responsible for the depositing of various soils and plant matter across continents, but I find this terribly presumptuous and ignorant of many facts. If we again consider the fact that the oceans are, even presently expanding, the conclusion if we wind the clock backwards is that many of the continents of the earth were at one time touching and perhaps also more temperate overall. Thus we see great swaths of similar tropical rainforests in south america, africa and the phillipine islands. Unless this phenomena began in South america and was carried eastward by wind and aquatic migration, these regions must reasonably have been in much closer proximity at one time (acceptable to both Pangean models). It does not take a rocket scientist to see the 'jig saw fit' between america and euro-africa, but it takes some more reckoning to see the same marriage on the far eastern side of the map (especially since the map is not usually drawn in a way that lends to the mind making such considerations). But more on this later.

1.d Well, what does it matter where we really came from anyway ? You can't know where you're going if you dont know where you've been.

So really what does all this matter anyway ? Well, it is important to the understanding of this work that there are many disputed theories on the origins or the universe, the planet, the species and God. It is interesting because for most of us, these considerations are brushed aside as being too large or somewhat irrelevant to our present undertakings, but I herein argue that these are of the paramount importance to our day to day lives. This is because if God didn't create the Earth and Universe, etc then we may somewhat more acceptibly presume that our actions need not be moral, considerate of the creator or his creation and that free will trumps all other considerations and there are really no wrong answers or actions [ in short atheism is acceptable]. However, if we come to a sensible and justifiable aceptance of Gods existence and his hand in creation of both the planet and ourselves then we might better heed His instruction on right living [and atheism becomes the very foremost 'sin' and blasphemy]. But I do not hope to promote some arbitrary super "religious" morality, this is mostly just an examination of the place and post we find all of ourselves bound to so far as we retain the mortal shell. But again, the presence or lack thereof of oceans is somewhat unimportant and merely introductory. What point I hope that a person might retain from this introductory section is that the history of the planet and our species is not as fixed in fact as we might hope. We are pitfully ignorant of all that has preceeded us and its implications on our lives today.

2.a Of Biblical and Classical histories of Origins.

"... there is no old opinion handed down among you by ancient tradition, nor any science which is hoary with age. And I will tell you why. There have been, and will be again, many destructions of mankind arising out of many causes; the greatest have been brought about by the agencies of fire and water, and other lesser ones by innumerable other causes. There is a story, which even you have preserved, that once upon a time Paethon, the son of Helios, having yoked the steeds in his father's chariot, because he was not able to drive them in the path of his father, burnt up all that was upon the earth, and was himself destroyed by a thunderbolt. Now this has the form of a myth, but really signifies a declination of the bodies moving in the heavens around the earth, and a great conflagration of things upon the earth, which recurs after long intervals;..." An exerpt from Timaeus by Plato, A Socratic Dialogue.

This again seems to reasonably demonstrate that the Earth has at sundry times been almost completely destroyed and humanity along with it. In the Bible, we find two such accounts to my mind; Adam and Eve and the 'destruction' of Eden, and Noahs flood. Herein are represented the two modes of destruction, as well as Sodom and Gamorrah to a lesser extent.....

2.b The first warning to man and expulsion from Eden.

TO BE CONTINUED :)

The solution to global warming: nuclear winter

I've been thinking about the state of affairs of the planet lately, in a strictly environmental sense. You see I used to have a friend who told me that "one day soon, if we dont get our shit together, North America will be a desert" while I tacitly agreed at the time and could see the sense in this hypothesis, it is only lately that I've been asking myself; "so where's this desert at?" (we have NOT gotten our proverbial sh*t together in the decade since). See, at the time I was much m

ore involved in environmental issues, but it made

sense to me that given the rates of carbon- capturing emissions we were spewing out, it was a somewhat inevitable conclusion (the assumption, even then, being that there was some correlation between our abuse of exhaust fumes and the unbearable summer heat).

Back when I was involved more heavily in green movements it was widely speculated that within 10 or 20 years, given the exponential nature of our problems, that climate change would be obvious and apparent, even to the detriment of our species. Even Al Gores' later film on the topic seemed to lend credence to an assumption that were were at a sort of tipping point, that it would not be long until shorelines encroached on major population areas (a relic from the days of ship transport). But this has not happened, evn though great swaths of the ant arctic shelf have fallen away and the fact that there is nearly NO permanent ice left on the northern pole, we still have not seen these cataclysmic Earth ch

anges... thats not to say we wont someday, but the immanent threat seems greatly deminished if the planet has survived this first decade of the new era so relatively unscathed.

But, that is not to say that within 5 or 10 years we wouldn't be seeing the real results of

this dilemma... as far as I can tell from all my exhaustive research, there are two reasons we havn't and may not see these great earth changes come to pass. The first of which is the removing of millions of gallons o

f water from the Earths supply; let me explain.

As I have long stated there is a very strange phenomena afoot which is exclusive to our time in history, namely the bottling of water. While this might seem a simple extortionist business model, it is possible that we are also facilitating the rape and abuse of the planet by bottling water, even beyond the outrageous notion that a liter of water should cost more than a liter of gas (for a short while longer anyway). I have another friend who owns a small convenience store, and he tells me stories a

bout how, when the first salesmen came around, and offered him to start selling bottled water, he thought they were madmen... "who would pay for bottled water when there is perfectly good water available from the tap" ? Well, as we now know the tap water might not be the first choice of the thirsty consumer for any number of reasons, chemicals used to promote 'public health safety' not least among them. But irregardless he now makes a healt

hy margin off of Coke or Pepsi branded water. I have made a video about this before, but herein I shall again crunch some fast numbers.

Lets assume that the average bottle of water holds 500ml, or a half liter... in any given sto

re, between their refrigerated inventory and the stuff in the back there is probably 100L of water in bottles. Now let us assume that for every 1000 people there are say 2 such operations in existence... lets take the population of Canada at 30 Million souls, therefore.... about 6 million liters (or 1.5milli

on gallons) would be ensnared inside petrolium prisons... thats just Canada, in america we can safely assume 10x the amount for 11.5 Million gallons or about 50 million liters... if the average Olympic pool has 85,000 gallons that is equal to 135 olympic sized pools (about 6 feet deep and 30 across, as far as you can possibly see), which might not seem like a tremendous amount until we also consider the amount of pools, water taken for other beverage production, industrial uses, etc, etc.... and places like europe, china, south korea and japan, which would again increase our trapped water estimates by another 10 times in consideration of all its unnatural uses... what I am getting at here is that there

may be some correlation between the fact that shorelines have not been inundated with flood-waters from rising shorelines, and the amount of water which has been taken away from the natura

l cycles of the Earth. It is highly probably that my numbers here are far off but I would assume them to be lacking

and not gross exaggerations. I have no data available on how much water needs to be added or removed to affect shorelines, but suffice it to say that I feel if I was paid enough to make a serious study of these numbers the results would be shocking.... so that is part one of our considerations on the matter - we have taken millions of gallons of water OUT of the natural cycles and this may be part of why the Earth has not flooded certain low lying areas as yet in spite of massive glacial melting and whatnot caused by an increase in our global temperature. It should, however go without saying that if this is so, the removal of this amount of water, since

in nature it largely functions to cool our planet and absorb heat from the sun, is a cause for some concern when thinking of the possibility for global warming problems of today and into the future.

So on to part two of our considerations on global warming; OIL.

Lets just preface

this with my saying that I am a proponent of abiotic oil. perhaps I have spelled it wrong as it is underlined in red; basically I support the theory that the worlds supply of oil is virtually unlimited. For example, if you believe that oil is a bi product of dinosaurs, I will punch you in the face, well not really, but that isn't to say that you dont deserve it for thinking that there we 100,000,000,000 dinosaurs which have been converted to this biomass. Surely no one would argue that the Earth eats itself (duhh, why are ruins always buried?) but still, it is totally unrealistic to think that that many dinosaurs were consumed so quickly as to provide the massive pools of hydrocarbons that we have discovered in the mid-east or under the arctic shelf... basically, we have only dug a few miles into the earth... our outward exploration is always greated than our inward development (we have explored some hundreds - or hundreds of thousands if you buy the whole moon landing thing - miles upward) but we have yet to successfully examine even 10% of these distances inward to the Earths core. While I believe to some extent the theory of continental dr

ift, I also propose that there must be some sort of lubricating layer between the layers floating thusly about (oil). The

re is myriad research to support this position, albeit mostly hidden from the westward Anglo-Saxon-Royal-Deutch perspective. So that being said, our excessive and continued extraction from deeper and deeper wells ( See Deep Water Horizon) is inevitable reducing the amount of this lubricant available to natural processes. So, as with any complex mechanical system reliant on certain thermo thresholds it stands to reason that by removing this lubricant from the core-ward direction we are causing the machinery to heat up. So some of the global warming we may be experiencing might not be exclusively an atmospheric phenomena. Geo-thermal heat may indeed be on the rise somewhat in tandem from our exercises in this area. The amount of research on these postulations is so abysmally low as to lend credence to almost any such theory, but at the end of the day it seems certain that our depen

dence on 'fossil fuels

' is directly contributing to the trend of global warming, either through atmospheric polloution or through causing the machinery of tectonics to make due with a reduced supply of lubricants; or both !!

So now that we have established all this, and we conceded that there may be others with far more information on the topic; wtf does all this have to do with the title of the article ? I shall no attempt to explain.

Global warming < Nuclear Winter

So where am I going with this ? I would surmise based on my previous writings above that the global warming epidemic went nowhere. What I propose is that the planet was indeed on its way to a major meltdown, nothing seems to have gotten in its way, no one of import ratified kyoto, no major climate saving initiative has been taken up beyone the introduction of carbon taxes and the odd subsid

y to inefficent 'green' power schemes for the worlds largest corporations, so why is this summer so cool, so shrouded in overcast skies ? Because of one word... fukushima. now I know you're saying, but dennizen, surely that was an accident, no one could have predicted that and the cost to Japan has been enormous, surely no NWO loving faction would create such a catastrophe just to prolong the status quo for a few years more ! And you might be right, but lets consider a few points

-harrp is online and has the potential to cause seismic disturbances

-Japan is basically the Wests' live-action nuclear test bed, as historical precedent

-it worked (limited nuclear winter may indeed provide some relief from total catastrophic climate change)

Now I am sure you are asking yourself "is this mofo for real?!" the answer is yes. You see I remember growing up a little at the height/end of the cold war, and I remember reading books about nuclear weapons and the state of the world even back then (yes I have always been this much of a geek). There were several stark warnings about severe nuclear catastrophe. 1) acid rain. We seldom seem to recall this outcome of nuclear war, but the truth is thatsevere nuclear exposure for the planet may kill all life by altering the composition of raindrops, thereby distributing high pH and other poisons to the plant supply; then the animals (supposeing they consume some of the plants in the window between when the rain hits them and when they die), and ultimately onto us through the poisoning of our drinking water and food supplies through the aformentioned chain. 2) immediate incineration of people exposed to the epicenters of nuclear fissile events (see terminator 2) . An

d 3) Nuclear winter. yes, strange as it may sound, these towers of flaming mushrooms burning hot as the sun are only the most visible and short-term of events associated with major nuclear calamity. Once the flames and shockwaves subside, there is the eventual fallout; clouds of particles which obstruct the sky and cause a severe reduction in the amount of raysthat land on the earth and perform their natural duty of feeding life and providing safety and visibility for the portion of the Earths inhabitants not confined to nocturnal cycles.

Now to make a

brief review of my experiences since the Fukushima disaster in relation to these considerations. 1) rampant polloution is indeed well underway. As I heard one person say, the only reason people dont realize what is going on is because its not like an oil spill; you dont walk out in the morning and see your car covered in radiation... birds aren't washing up on shore covered in radiation, you dont see it in your hair, you dont smell it on your clothes.... very out of sight out of mind, but that doesn't mean it isn't there. If it WAS like oil, people would be screaming in the streets. If people saw it all around them, if it was on your hair and visible floating in the air people would be up in arms! But it isn't, and now a days people are so ignorant that unless its written in a big blinking neon sign with golden arches, people just dont understand or care much. Many nations immediately banned all imports from Japan once the catastrophe broke.... animals are being born in the Fukushima area with severe deformities... no food imports are allowed out into most nations since the disaster. If it is that bad in processed and commercial foods we can safely assume that any living creatures or plants in the region are also descimated. Even though the safe levels for radioactivity has been roundly raised on this side of the ocean that doesn't mean that this disaster isn't of some global impact. It is sure that all food products all over the world have been impacted by these events though perhaps to a lesser degree.

2) while this was not a typical ICBM detonation, there have certainly been casualties... workers walking into danger zones watching their teeth fall from their heads, their hair fall out, and their bodies becomming riddled with tumors before they could walk back out of the door. These are serious problems, but with a core meltdown the damage is more seething, its more subtle, your skin doesn't blow off and burst into flames, it slowly festers inside, becomes cancerous and cells grow and rupture, there is nothing you can do but sit back and watch... it is not as horrific as instant flaming death, but it still aint good.

3) Nuclear winter. Now I cannot speak for the entire planet, but where I am we are almost on the same longitude as fukushima, and since the event I have noticed this summer to be far more overcast, far cooler and far less damaging from a strictly thermal standpoint. In spite of the fact that all the information seems to point to the idea that we should be having another record shattering summer, so far, that is just not the case. The skies are usually an even pallor of sickly grey with only occasional breaks for the sun to do its job. The temperature is on average some 5-8 degrees celsius cooler than has been for the past several years. If this isn't nuclear winter, its certainly a type of nuclear autumn by comparison. So I ask you, is it beyond the realm of possibility that these factors are all adding up to the present situation ? Was the Earth so close to falling over the edge of the irreversible climate damage tipping point that even after we have ensnared all this water away for the protection of the shorelines, that we were saved from our ultimate fate by this timely though tragic nuclear event in Japan ? I think it is both probable and likely, what scares me most, however is that I fear this may have been done TO the people of Japan as a final soiree into their reparations from WW2. What I mean here is that isn't it just a little too tragic that the only two peoples to suffer these sorts of nuclear tragities were once our sworn enemies ? If this sort of solution was mandatory for the survival of the planet where would we expect it might occour ? In China ? No that would be too detrimental to our present economic matrix. In Europe ? Not likely since they are so close to banjrupcy already that this sort of event would surely be their undoing... In Japan ? Where we have performed horrific nuclear tests before ? The only place to be struck down by atomic weapons and proved already that we could rebuild, after some time, from this type of horror ? I'm certainly not blaming any one or any group of nations if this was the case - if it had to be done, so be it, but it seems a little fishy to me. We will have to wait and see where all their money goes once the compensation legislation starts rolling out. As the man said; follow the money. A curiousity to me is to know whether there was any massive trading of puts right before this happened, like the unclaimed puts that were placed on the airlines involved in 911.

Always follow the money, numbers hardly ever lie.
