Media Bias

“Since President Trump’s election a year ago, mainstream news, whether on TV, in print or online, has become completely unhinged and has abandoned ANY semblance of fairness or objectivity. This unprecedented bias in media coverage has been well documented by respected, non-partisan media analysts.”

“Perhaps more troubling, as the Trump administration advances conservative ideas and policies on fronts ranging from tax reform to border security to regulatory reform, the mainstream media’s anti-Trump, anti-conservative hysteria IS ONLY GETTING WORSE.” ~ Edwin J. Feulner, Ph.D., President, Heritage Foundation

Jerusalem!

“Trump’s move [to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capitol and move the U.S. Embassy there] wasn’t merely strategically brilliant. It was also a political masterstroke.” Excellent article by Caroline Glick.

http://www.jpost.com/Opinion/Our-World-Trumps-great-and-ingenious-gifts-517417

It is hard to imagine how Democrats like Obama, Diane Feinstein, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi et al and the EU/CFR/UN globalists could look more foolish than their positions on the move to Jerusalem. It also highlights the need seen by the majority of Americans for decades, especially Americans who have extensive international experience, that the U.S. State Department (foggy bottom) needs to be drained.

During the last 50 years, we have had more wars and violent regime changes than ever before in history. That will stand in history as failure of the U.S. State Department and intelligence services, especially since the U.S. has been the dominate economic and military power during that period. The founders of our republic and framers of our Constitution vigorously and wisely warned against foreign involvements. Contrary to their oaths, the State Department and intelligence services have been continuously meddling. Sadly, we have wars because the U.S., the dominant power, wants wars.

The Mother of the Progressive Movement

One thing that all oligarchies (socialism, communism, fascism, capitalism) have in common is Collectivism (judging people as a group rather than as individuals). That is no accident.

In early American History, it was the individual that was considered to be the base unit of society and therefore it was individual rights that were paramount in documents like the U.S. Constitution. But Mary Parker Follett, known as “The Mother of the Progressive movement” to some and “The Mother of Modern Management” to others, advocated the suppression of individual rights in favor of group identity (collectivism). It is far easier to control groups than it is to control individuals.  Group identity is so immersed in our society today that we all fall prey to it without even being aware of it. We think that we must check a box identifying as white, black, Hispanic, etc.

From this day forward I intend to check a write in: “I am human”.  We identify with Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, etc. With such ideas, we are never able to unite, and that is what all oligarchies fear most…. people united against collectivism (tyranny), and in favor of individual rights.  ~ Roma Cox

Here is a quote from one of Mary Parker Follett’s works titled “The New State” published in 1918, and available free at this link below on the internet WayBackMachine.  Follett was a brilliant, logical but flawed thinker and writer like Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche, Adolf Hitler and Mao Zedung.  Follett’s writing can be very captivating and persuasive unless you keep your head about you and your feet firmly planted in reality.  Saul Alinsky, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton reflect her thinking as do a genre of popular Hollywood movies and TV series persuading a generation about the superiority of “hive mentality” or multi-dimensional connections among members of a group.  Collectivism.

Progress then must be through the group process. Progress
implies respect for the creative process not the created thing; the
created thing is forever and forever being left behind us. The
greatest blow to a hide-bound conservatism would be the
understanding that life is creative at every moment. What the
hard-shelled conservative always forgets is that what he really
admires in the past is those very moments when men have strongly
and rudely broken with tradition, burst bonds, and created
something. True conservatives and true progressivism are not two
opposites: conservatives dislike “change” yet they as well as
progressives want to grow; progressives dislike to “stand pat,” yet
they as well as conservatives want to preserve what is good in the
present. But conservatives often make the mistake of thinking they
can go on living on their spiritual capital; progressives are often
too prone not to fund their capital at all.

That sounds like Obama’s campaign rhetoric: “If you’ve got a business — you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen. You didn’t create that by yourself.”  And it  sounds like Hillary Clinton’s “It takes a village” …”to raise a child.”

If you need an antidote, simply re-read George Orwell’s “Nineteen Eighty-Four” (1984) or Eric Hoffer’s small book, “The True Believer” or anything by Ayn Rand or Alexander Solzhenitsyn, both personally experienced in the tribulations of collectivism.

To feel more of the tribulations of collectivism read “The Trial” by Franz Kafka or “Crime and Punishment” by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, two of the best books ever written, containing prescience equal to “1984.”

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”
Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Dependency

“The more Americans depend on themselves or on their family or community, the more likely they are to vote Republican. On the other hand, the more Americans depend on the government—whether for a job or for economic assistance—the more likely they are to vote Democrat.

Therefore, it is in the Democrats’ interest to have more and more Americans depend on the state.

In other words, in almost every area of life, the better things are, the worse it is for the Democratic Party. Democrats have placed themselves in the role of benefiting from social and moral dysfunction.

And they have embraced this role. The Democratic Party cultivates singlehood, black anger at America, Latino separatism, victimhood, group grievance, and dependency on government.

Nor is this the only way in which Democrats do terrible damage to America. They are also tearing America apart, setting women against men (with such falsehoods as “the war on women,” “the rape culture” at American colleges, and the nonsense that “women are paid less for the same work”), blacks against whites, and Latinos against other Americans.

They do this because the less women see men as an enemy, the less blacks regard whites as an enemy, and the more Latinos see themselves as Americans, the worse it is for Democrats.

The Democratic Party has become a wholly destructive force in this country. Even though you may not intend to, if you vote for any Democrat, you contribute to that damage.” ~ Dennis Prager.

Frederick Douglass, American

by Lucas E. Morel

Professor of Politics, Washington and Lee University


The following excerpt is adapted from a speech delivered at Hillsdale College on May 12, 2017, at the dedication of a statue of Frederick Douglass on the College’s Liberty Walk. 

Frederick Douglass, a former slave and a leading abolitionist writer and orator, was the most photographed American of the 19th century. And as you at Hillsdale College know, one of the most famous photographs of Douglass was taken in this town, just a few weeks after President Lincoln issued his Emancipation Proclamation. At the invitation of a ladies literary society, Douglass came to Hillsdale and spoke in the College Chapel on January 21, 1863. The title of his lecture was “Popular Error and Unpopular Truth.” As reported in the newspaper, Douglass said: “There was no such thing as new truth. Error might be old or new; but truth was as old as the universe.”

A “popular error” of our own day is the idea that because Thomas Jefferson owned slaves, nothing good could come from him. Douglass surely knew that Jefferson owned slaves, but he knew as well that Jefferson was the author of the Declaration of Independence, which supplied for Douglass and for all Americans the key to political progress: the principles that “all men are created equal”; that they are “endowed by their Creator [not by government] with certain unalienable Rights,” among which are “Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness”; and that “to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men.”

Douglass called these “saving principles,” and he devoted himself to convincing white Americans “to trust [these principles’] operation.” In this he foreshadowed Justice John Marshall Harlan’s lone dissent against the Supreme Court’s infamous Plessy v. Ferguson decision, which produced the nefarious doctrine of “separate but equal.” Harlan wrote: “Our Constitution is color-blind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens. In respect of civil rights, all citizens are equal before the law.”

Thirty years before Plessy, Douglass observed that the Constitution “knows no distinction between citizens on account of color.” The “burden of our demand upon the American people shall simply be justice and fair play,” he said. “We utterly repudiate all invidious distinctions, whether in our favor or against us, and only ask for a fair field, and no favor.”

Douglass was no fan of “race pride,” counting it “a positive evil” and a “false foundation.” For the better part of American history, black Americans wanted nothing to do with a color line that set them apart from other Americans. “It has long been the desire of our enemies,” Douglass wrote, “to deepen and widen the line of separation between the white and colored people of this country.” For Douglass, the only relevant minority in America was the minority of one—the individual. The government of all should be partial to none.

The politics of identity make the present a prisoner of the past, with individuals viewed chiefly through the lens of race or other arbitrary characteristics. Douglass argued for identifying with America—with the nation founded on “human brotherhood and the self-evident truths of liberty and equality.” He saw that the protection of specific groups or classes would lead government away from protecting individual rights and towards assigning benefits and burdens. “I know of no rights of race,” he said, “superior to the rights of humanity.”

The energy content of the oceans is more than one thousand times higher than the energy content of air.  The air cannot heat the oceans.  Even if you burned ALL of the fossil fuels on the planet and even if you could put all of the resulting CO2 in the air,  the temperature of the oceans will not be increased by an amount that is large enough to be reproducibly measured.   There is not enough carbon on earth.  It should be obvious from these graphs that the ocean temperature is controlling the temperature of the air.  Even more obvious, CO2, which is present in air at only about 400 parts per 1,000,000 parts of air, has no significant long term effect on ocean or air temperature.

Avatars aboard

Did you read Isaac Asimov’s series of books “The Foundation”?  5 or more books.  Started as a trilogy.  Socionomics extended to the outer edges of galaxy. 

NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has used quantum computers for more than a decade.  Sandeep Gulati, the CTO at ViaLogy (where I was VP business development for 5 years), previously was head the quantum computing facility at JPL.  ViaLogy was started in an incubator owned by JPL and CalTech.  While at JPL, Sandeep and his team wrote the software that guides satellites that travel far beyond earth, for example:   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huygens_%28spacecraft%29

Executing an orbit of a planet that far away is loaded with problems, not the least of which is knowing exactly where you are in an unfamiliar part of space.   For example, the slightest miscalculation in the firing of a jet changes the orientation of the satellite and its trajectory and from out there the location of earth and sun are not obvious…just spots of light in the distance not obviously different from other spots.  Where to point the antennae when coming around from behind a moon or planet?  Which spots?  Signal strength at the time was too weak and time-lagged to be detected by normal communications and thus not useful for course corrections, much less to guide the satellite.  The challenge was how to find yourself while in motion in an unfamiliar 3D star/planetary spacemap which has no previous references except calculations done remotely with significant uncertainty.  Thus the foundation of ViaLogy was active signal detection when signal was far less than noise.  ViaLogy’s patented product was called quantum resonance interferometry.  Signal was defined as a disturbance in the noise.

The strong point for humans is synthesis of information from recognized patterns.  That implies that the brain evolved (was an adaptation) from the immune system.  What is the equation for synthesis of information when the variables are unknown or at best can only be estimated with high uncertainty?  One solution could be to flip the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.  Rather than the observation of an event changing the event, instead, enable the changes at the event to adapt the observer. 

Similar to the “Prime Directive” in Star Trek, which you may remember.  Star Trek’s space-time travelers were forbidden to be observable by the dwellers in that remote space-time, which presumes deep knowledge about those dwellers.  How does one accomplish that?

I believe that space-time travelers will be synthetic shape-shifters, i.e. bots, rather than humans.  Beings created on-site with the ability to adapt to foreign environments which we know little about.  An autonomous and extremely powerful computer with the ability to make a creature/robot/android/shape shifter will explore on our behalf.  A 3D molecular printer which uses energy and local materials from the remote environment to create an “artificial” being which is suitable for survival and exploration in the remote environment, and which can then transmit information back to us but need not ever come back to us.  Therefore, we need to be able to disassemble matter into energy in an organized form that we completely understand at the subatomic level, then to transmit that energy without significant loss, and then re-synthesize that energy into a material form (imagine an autonomous, adaptive 3D molecular printer) that can then create other bots that work in the conditions at the remote environment.

In other words, instead of creating autonomous bots as weapons as this UC Berkeley professor illustrates http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/UC-Berkeley-killer-robots-artificial-intelligence-12368152.php or rocketing a rover to Mars, and then years later a few humans (are they coming back to Earth?), we would beam by light and re-materialize smart 3D molecular printers to the surface, or in or under the surface, of the remote location which then creates a method to harvest energy there, gather local matter and synthesizes that matter into a suitably adapted bot that eventually can survive, sense and communicate back to us.  Isn’t that better than creating bots to destroy things and people?

But today, we are no longer in Kansas.  Academic physicists are believers and teachers of string theory and the multiple, simultaneous realities implied by that theory … though there is no empirical evidence to support the theory in reality.  (And other so-called scientists, politicians and crony business people deny reality, they deny atmospheric carbon is essential to life as we know it.)  String non-believers have difficulty finding employment in physics.  No longer trying to understand and apply our physical reality, science is lost in infinite imaginary realities with no known practical use.  I think this implies some chaotic dark ages are ahead, rather like the witch hunting periods (reverse evolutions) in human history.  See for instance, The Trouble with Physics: : The Rise of String Theory, the Fall of a Science, and What Comes Next  by Lee Smolin.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Trouble_with_Physics

Did you know?

Did you know this? Contrary to what you are being told, of 407 people who perpetrated terrorist events in the U.S. since 2001, one hundred twenty-one (121) or 29% were Muslim converts and two hundred and sixty-eight (268) or 66% were long time Muslims. Eleven (11) or 2.7% were non-Muslims, and six (6) or 1.5% were of unknown ideology. Ninety-five point eight percent (95.8%) of terrorists were Muslims.

Terror incident

Of 224 terrorist events since 2001 where at least 1 person was killed other than the terrorist, 202 (or 91%) of those events were perpetrated by Muslim jihadists, resulting in 261 dead (81.5% of total dead) and 368 wounded. Two events were perpetrated by “black separatists/nationalists” resulting in 8 dead (2.6% of total dead) and 11 wounded. Twenty (20) events were classified as “far right wing” resulting in 51 dead (7.1% of total dead) and 29 wounded. (Note far right wing includes events like bank robberies and flying a plane into an IRS building if the perpetrator were associated with right wing causes.)

HERETICAL THOUGHTS ABOUT SCIENCE AND SOCIETY (Reblog)

By Freeman Dyson
My first heresy says that all the fuss about global warming is grossly exaggerated. Here I am opposing the holy brotherhood of climate model experts and the crowd of deluded citizens who believe the numbers predicted by the computer models. Of course, they say, I have no degree in meteorology and I am therefore not qualified to speak. But I have studied the climate models and I know what they can do. The models solve the equations of fluid dynamics, and they do a very good job of describing the fluid motions of the atmosphere and the oceans. They do a very poor job of describing the clouds, the dust, the chemistry and the biology of fields and farms and forests. They do not begin to describe the real world that we live in. The real world is muddy and messy and full of things that we do not yet understand. It is much easier for a scientist to sit in an air-conditioned building and run computer models, than to put on winter clothes and measure what is really happening outside in the swamps and the clouds. That is why the climate model experts end up believing their own models.  More at the link below.
FREEMAN DYSON is professor of physics at the Institute for Advanced Study, in Princeton. His professional interests are in mathematics and astronomy.

Art of destruction

At this link is an example and symbol of the sickness, depravity and loss of critical values in western society, in New York City of course. Imagine if this were your property or your neighborhood. This is people, a jury, lawyers and a judge, all who failed to learn the lesson of the “tragedy of the commons,” punishing an individual who is attempting to take personal responsibility for their private property.

The wrong way

In 15 years or less, the technology will be available to control the mental problems that result in wanton, senseless slaughters like New York City, Las Vegas, ISIS, 9-11 etc, either by genetic modifications like CRISPR or brain chips or both. However, the paths of ethics and morality which would enable good and best use of these technologies are not only lagging behind, they are far down the road and going in the wrong direction…which means that the two technologies are ultimately dangerous for liberty. Unless and until authoritarian, cradle to grave government is shut down and reversed, these technologies are dangerous to free people.
