Koch Brothers Have Candidates down to "The Final Four"

Today is Thomas Payne's birthday and he wrote on the subject of inherent human rights, and how people have to be fair minded and respect the rights of others in order even to have civil dialog.  And if your nature is to be a Tyrant then you can't be reasoned with.  And he spoke highly of atheists who aren't swayed by scriptural arguments from the Bible because the Bible was written by violent men.   Thom Hartman also talked about the Boston tea party and how that was the overthrowing of oligarks, who wanted to throw local tea vendors out of business.   There was a "free market" price of tea, but the British East India company sought to undercut that and drive all the local vendors out of business.  This is what convinced Thomas Jefferson to support the American Revolution because in 1772 Jefferson had written a pamflet on "Being a good British citizen".   Of course Thomas Payne's writings and humanist philosophy sort of fell out of favor once we actually won our independence, and this is sad, because we need more thinkers like Thomas Payne, whose birthday we celebrate today.

Right now I have the John Mc Cain pentagon hearings on the ravages of funding cut back due to the 2011 sequestration deal - - on the defense department.   They've had one military expert after another testifying about how their branch of the military will be irreperably harmed by a continued drying up of funds, and I am inclined to agree with them.  The sequester at this point isn't good for anybody- including the military.  There was a breakthrough in “deflate gate” yesterday when some kind of a ball boy took the whole thing of footballs to be used in the game, into the locker room where he was “alone and uninterrupted” for period of ninety seconds, which isn’t long to deflate eleven balls.  Yesterday was Auschuitz liberation day when the Russian army liberated this major concentration camp.  

The Republican Primary this election is being held in Palm Springs, California.  Norman Goldman states that four Republicans have made it into the “Final Four” that were deemed worthy to be interviewed by the Koch Brothers in Palm Springs over this past weekend.  Marco Rubio was their number one choice, and Scott Walker was the one whom Norman Goldman most thinks will make it as the eventual nominee.  Norman says that Rand Paul is too sly to be trusted and he’s more dangerous than he looks.  Norman isn’t worried about Ted Cruise, though, the only guy who made it ere from Iowa.  “People hear Ted Cruz and they’ll know he’s nuts, so he doesn’t bother me.”   I had already formed the conclusion that Marco Rubio was the odds on favorite.  Stephanie Miller and Chris Le Boy were accused of falsely stating that Scott Walker was a union buster who went after people’s pensions.  That’s just what he did.  He may have garnered votes by pitting some union workers against other union workers – gambling correctly that people are pretty dumb.  There is no doubt in my mind that if Scott Walker had his way he would eliminate all unions and all pension funds.  Like Dr Levy he has no conception of someone keeping their word on a matter.  Sean Hannity’s only criticism of Scott Walker “a man with a lot of potential” is that he’s not furvent (hysterical) enough, and needs to hone his demagogic skills to whip those right wing crowds into a fevered frenzy.   But it is the “Final Four” held two months early.  The Republican selection for standard barrer will be one of these four.

Today is the deadline that ISIS set for executing that captured Jordanian pilot- - at “sunset in Iraq”, which has come and gone.  Of course ISIS wants Jordan to release one of the most dangerous attempted suicide bombers of all time.  This woman is unhappy her bombs didn’t go off and she would have taken sixty people with her to the next life has she been successful.  And the Jordanians are hoping to make it a two per one deal because they’d like that other Japanese journalist guy released by ISIS at the same time.   ISIS shouldn’t be able to get away with keeping the western media on pins and needles all the time, deathly afraid of what they’re going to do next.   Too bad there isn't some way we could just extermanate all of them at once - - like in the old days when you could wipe out a whole city with one Atomic Bomb.   I think our foreign policy planners need to think long and hard about what will work and "get the job done" and what measures are completely futile.   The Tom Bodet clone says “We’ll leave the right wing on for you”.   And “We give you more Bengazi at the same price”.   Of course I’m on the 2^nd floor of the west wing.  That’s common knowledge.

That ringed planet is two hundred times the size of Saturn, which would make a hell of a scene in the night sky with minimal optical aids around here.  Maybe the whole planet is a hoax as part of a frizbee commercial for the super bowl.   “Go Daddy” is pulling an add involving a lost puppie where the lady only wants him found so she can sell him.  Apparently that ad didn’t market test well.  The atmosphere on Mars is exceedingly thin.   It’s probably more than one percent but designing a drone helicopter to fly around and scout out places form the Mars rover to investigate and putter around in- - - this drone would be an engineering feat with a really high speed motor and only runs for two and a half minutes at a shot.  I guess it spends the rest of the time charging up the solar batteries, from reduced power of the Sun on Mars.   Some have a question about how “We don’t see things in the sky transversing space at the speed of light”.  When you look at the heavens through Hubble or anywhere else- - all of the galaxies and such appear content to stay pretty much put.  You don’t see fleets of galaxies streaking across the sky at speeds approaching light.  We are talking about transverse travel- - which would be picked up more easily than something just receding into the background, which occurs in a universally expending universe.  Such an expanding universe- - scientists would say- - would not be limited by the speed of light.   Not to overly complicate my point- - I am talking about objects in the heavens traveling transverse to other objects- - and perhaps suddenly appearing and disappearing altogether, - - as they crossed the event horizon.    (See other material)

At some point in this blog I plan to say more on the subject of Romula cloaking technology.   Let's do it now- shortly before nine o clock in the morning.   People wonder why Romulan cloaking technology would give space craft the ability to accelerate almost effortlessly with none of the G effects on passengers you'd experiance in any other environment.   This is because the SPACE said passengers are accelerating through is not the SAME space where they are residing.  So it's almost as though THEY in their altered molicules- - aren't traveling at all.  As such their "weight" remains at zero regardless of how much or quickly they are accelerated.   Where the Star Trek show blew it was dragging the whole "space-time" thing into it.   This process of "warping" space has nothing to do with Time.   Another question you may have is "Is it the space that is warped or the molicules in matter itself that is being warped?    Basically it's a space "field" but the saying is also true that "It doesn't matter- - because the nature of the Space around an object is determined by the melicular make-up of that object".    Others may ask "Well you still fire rockets to accelerate and navigate and such don't you- - can't these flames be seen?"   You're absolutely right.  Therefore Romulans try and plan it so that they can "chart a course" much as our own NASA people do with sattelites- - with a minimum of rocket firings.   Another question you may have is "How can Romulans walk around in our space and still breathe?  Wouldn't they soon sufficate without their own air supply with them"   The thing is that gasses as such are exempt from Romulan space warping.  For the same reason you just don't sink into the ground because like with a swimming pool you are bowied up by these gases.    Some would then say "Well- - when you DO fire these rockets then- - - you are NOT traveling through warped space".   That is correct.     You are traveling through ordenary space.    We have spoken much of baryons.    The term "Baryon" for Romulans means something slightly different- - than the term on earth does refering to a large extent to nuclear particles of neutrons and protons.  These fundamental particles are said to be made up of "Hadrons" with Romulans.   What Romulans there say are "Hadrons" we refer to as Baryons.
