Month: October 2018

So live your life that reading poetry counts as an efficient use of time.

Life is something to be sipped, not gulped.

I rewatched this movie last night.  I have it on VHS which I bought for $1.

I remember it moving me a great deal the last time, but this time I found it a bit insipid, and the script poorly done and choppy.

Still, it is interesting to reflect how, as recently as 1981, a movie which contained very overt Christianity in it, which was central to the plot in what amounted to the climax, could still win Best Picture, and still be showered with accolades.

I can’t imagine that today.  I can’t imagine a religious film even being nominated.  Everything has changed.  Back then, Alan Alda and Rob Reiner were honest Liberals.  Hate was not everywhere, and it was possible to disagree with one another and still laugh later.

No more.  No more.

Where are we going?  I don’t know.  I don’t know.

It has been “debunked”, which means a “good enough” explanation has been given that anyone bothered by this possibility can let it go, by stating there are simply two craters, and apparently some sort of dark path between them; that it is an optical illusion.

Certainly possible.  But note the white circle is actually a hexagon.  How do meteor impacts create hexagons?

I got on this by looking up a time when the idea that there were towers on the Moon actually got mainstream attention.  It was published in the Washington Post and elsewhere.  Here is one treatment of the story, from 1970, a busy year on all fronts: http://www.astrosurf.com/lunascan/argosy_cuspids.htm

What seems to have happened is this just came and went.  There was a brief furor, NASA stopped talking about it, and the news cycle marched on.  And obviously, with the right lighting, you could make an ant look huge, but unless NASA got its data wrong, reasonably exact calculations could be done with their data.

I’m not saying I believe all this.  I have no idea.

It is an interesting, and apparently well attested seeming fact even according to many mainstream scientists, that the moon appears hollow.  This is evidenced by how low its overall density seems to be gravitationally, and by seismic measurements, which show the surface ringing like a bell.  Each lunar mission placed seismographs they left behind, then intentionally crashed the lift-off rocketry to see what happened.  They created, in other words, a mild quake, then measured the results.  There didn’t seem to be anything in the middle to dampen it.  In one case, it rang for nearly three hours, and the ringing went several miles deep.

Conspiracy theorists, need I mention, think the moon is constructed, and that the fact that we never see the back side of it is quite intentional.

Again, I look for possibilities.  I don’t need to actualize, to concretize, to manifest possibilities into firm beliefs until some sort of decision needs to be made.  I can’t do anything about any of this, no course of action is possible as far as I can see, regardless of what I conclude, so I just leave all this floating out there.

Both Grissom’s son and widow believe he was murdered.  And there is also a very odd story about a Safety Inspector who died in a very unusual way.

I will add, or note again, as I have in the past, that for sure Buzz Aldrin, Gordon Cooper and Edgar Mitchell have gone on record as having either first hand, or reliable second hand knowledge of extraterrestrials. Aldrin saw one, then recanted, then got a bit foggy.  Cooper said he saw two, on two separate occasions, one of which landed, and of which film footage was taken, and then confiscated.  Mitchell was merely a conduit for a lot of witnesses, who sought him out because he was not afraid to speak publicly.

There may be nothing here, but there is certainly plenty of fertile material to work on here for imaginative minds.

Never mind the main narrative on this thing, I continue to learn new things.  Did you know that, before he died, Patton–like MacArthur in the Korean War–was begging for a chance to nip the next war before it could start?  Czechoslavakia need not have endured a half century or so of captivity.  Berlin need never have been partitioned.  China need not have gone Communist, which itself would have PREVENTED the Korean, Vietnamese, and countless other regional wars the world over.

Live Aid would not have been necessary, because the Ethiopean famine would not have happened.  Cuba would not have gone Communist, and its people not enslaved.

Sometimes war IS the answer.  We need to look carefully, but this fact is, in my mind indisputable.  We will have an end to war when we have an end to evil.  We can look to it, work to make it happen, but it is far from here, and in many ways we are trending the wrong direction.

This recalls to mind Churchill’s call to support the Whites in the Russian civil war, which was also ignored.

What, now, are we missing?  What policy or policies should we be pursuing that we are not, which will quickly or eventually lead to vast problems which could have been prevented?  Where is evil being allowed to run loose and propagate?

I have a variety of “bar friends”, people I know and have known for years, and gotten 2/3rd’s drunk with on many occasions, such that I know the details of most of their lives, about their parents, where they went to school, the major dramas in their lives, etc.  I’m a good listener, because the details of people’s lives actually interest me.  I’m curious about everything, and people are a part of everything.

Be all that as it may, one group is uniformly very Liberal–I will use that word because I like them–and I just keep my mouth shut when they discuss politics. 

But I was thinking just now what I would say if I were asked to justify myself, and I think the simplest formulation is this:

1. Leftists in general assume the very worst of “capitalists”, that they are greedy, mean, power hungry and corrupt.

2. Logically, this means they accept the presence of evil in the world.

3. The power of money is relative, whereas political power can be made absolute.  Money influences, police power dictates directly.

4. There is no logical reason to conclude that government workers cannot be greedy.  If humans can be evil, and government workers are human, then government workers can be evil.  Indeed, the history of corrupt rulers using their power to enrich themselves at the expense of everyone else is the story of history, at least UNTIL the rise of “Capitalism” (free markets, enforceable contract law, and the protection of private property). 

5. Given this, the power of the State should be of more immediate concern than limiting the power of money.

6. Increasing the power of the State to limit the power of money is precisely the wrong direction, since the money is not disappearing–the influence is still there, merely at a higher price–and the police power is increasing.

7. Given that “Capitalism” so called is the only historically effective antidote to people enriching themselves through the abuse of government, through direct violence, and through generalized conquest, Capitalism, so called, should be lauded, and not opposed.

8. Only Republicans, currently, even talk about this, and the Democrats have more or less openly embraced not just cradle to grave protection, but the concomitant, which is cradle to grave CONTROL of all of us.

9. Given the possibility of evil, direct control of our lives should be feared and rejected.

10.  Ergo, no sane person who values their freedom should consider voting for any Democrat for moment, even if they also don’t like the Republican, which can and probably in many cases should be the case.

Something like this.  But nobody really even attempts to speak this clearly any more, although I must say I do really like the work Dennis Prager has done and continues to do.

My watching continues.  Lots of non sequiturs, and conjectures they gradually morph into established facts, but quite a few very interesting things which can be verified.

Here is another.  Herman Oberth was:

an Austro-Hungarian-born German physicist and engineer. He is considered one of the founding fathers of rocketry and astronautics, along with the French Robert Esnault-Pelterie, the Russian Konstantin Tsiolkovsky and the American Robert Goddard.

Here is his comment on UFO’s:

During the 1950s and 1960s, Oberth offered his opinions regarding unidentified flying objects (UFOs). He was a supporter of the extraterrestrial hypothesis for the origin of the UFOs that were seen at the Earth. For example, in an article in The American Weekly magazine of 24 October 1954, Oberth stated, “It is my thesis that flying saucers are real, and that they are space ships from another solar system. I think that they possibly are manned by intelligent observers who are members of a race that may have been investigating our earth for centuries…” ^[17] He also wrote an article in the second edition of Flying Saucer Review titled “They Come From Outer Space”. He discussed the history of reports of “strange luminous objects” in the sky, mentioning that the earliest historical case is of “Shining Shields” reported by Pliny the Elder. He wrote, “Having weighed all the pros and cons, I find the explanation of flying discs from outer space the most likely one. I call this the “Uraniden” hypothesis, because from our viewpoint the hypothetical beings appear to come from the sky (Greek – ‘Uranos’).”

One interesting added note, for those who remember the 1990’s:

In 1958, Oberth was back in Feucht, Germany, where he published his ideas on a lunar exploration vehicle, a “lunar catapult”, and on “muffled” helicopters and airplanes.  

He also, near the end of his life, wrote a book called “Waehlerfiebel fuer ein Weltparlament”, which I cannot translate.  It is Voter/Chooser something for a World Parliament.  I can’t find Fiebel, which is not a word I know.  I pulled that off the German Amazon website.  Perhaps they intended “Fieber”, which is fever, or perhaps enthusiasm by metaphor.

In English it is “Primer for those who would govern: In a world parliament”, again from Amazon. I can’t find any information on it, but I think I can assume it was a Globalist manifesto of sorts, written by an ex-Nazi.

Then there is this: https://malcolmnicholson.wordpress.com/2017/09/20/nazis-atlantis-and-ancient-aliens/

What is fascinating about this is that the only claim you need to accept is that the Nazis believed this stuff, and that is likely easy enough to document.  Indeed, it is the point and purpose of the primary book referenced.  That the Nazis were deeply involved in occult beliefs is, I think, well documented.  Rudolph Hess flew to Britain because of signs he took from astrology.  Such is my understanding.

This world is a fascinating place.  I don’t know how it works, but I do know that I can increase my knowledge of new possibilities every day.

This is an odd story, with which I had been unfamiliar: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Forrestal

I saw it watching my creepy, hippy-dippy UFO thing on Gaia (It’s called Deep Space).

He goes from being the first Secretary of Defense in US history, to being confined, alone–and on the account of the folks in the video not allowed any visitation from friends and family–on the 16th floor of a psychiatric hospital.

Then his body is found on the 3rd floor roof, having fallen some 13 stories.  The full record of the investigation is made secret, and there were allegations both that there was glass in his bed, and that he was found with a rope around his neck.

Very strange.  The claim made on the video, of course, is that he was wanting to go public with what we knew about UFO’s, and was first given the Soviet treatment, then, failing to promise to keep his mouth shut after repeated visits from a group called the Majestic 12, he was murdered.  They claim that the CIA and NSA were founded in the immediate aftermath of Roswell, which at least one credible source–Dr. Edgar Mitchell, Ph.D from MIT in Rocket Science and 6th man to walk on the moon–has claimed was categorically a UFO crash, which he had firsthand from people who were there.

It’s not good to spend too much time dwelling on things like this, but I think it is both reasonable and healthy to suspect that, whatever is really happening, most of us live in a continual dream manufactured by others–spiritually, or simply as a result of crafted integration propaganda, or both–and that large, important things are going on which are entirely invisible to us.

Look around you.  Wonder.
