Adventure Into the Weird Burning Bush An Alien Construction? Photo from: http://johnthweatt.com/ Posted on January 14,2014 Dreams or Imagination It all started sometime in 2001. In the wee hours of the morning, I would wake up with ideas that were foreign to anything that ever circulated in my conscience world. Some of them are scary but at the same time curious which is why I have chosen to write them down. While I am well aware that the following may be the product of pure imagination, I cannot say with certainty that these are not chronicles of real events. This is actually the second time to include some of those revelations publicly. The first was right after the thoughts occurred to me; fascinated by them, I thought they would make a great backdrop to a science fiction novel. That is when I wrote “The History of the Future”. I even put it online in its own web site. The revelations continue though and I really don’t know what to make of them. I wake up in the middle of the night with new images and thoughts about our world and the beginnings of life here on Earth. In my dream recollections, I am being fed information from a group of other worldly creatures that call themselves the Gabriel. (I cannot relate images to phonetics very well, but Gabriel is as close as can be estimated.) They do not vocalize to me but rather use mental images as a method of communication. I, on the other hand, do not know how to communicate with them, except through my emotions or my conjured up mental images. But whenever they communicate with me, they seem to respond to my reactions. It took me a long time to understand their images and what they were communicating to me, but after a while, those images started to make sense. According to the Gabriel, they found planet Earth during exploration and determined that it could be claimed for life. There wasn’t any free oxygen on the newly discovered planet, so they utilized DNA specific organisms from their world to plant on this new planet. It was a long and tedious process to establish a self sustaining atmosphere that could accommodate life. The Gabriel themselves are a people that are long lived. They had quit using the biosphere for food on their home world many millions of years ago. (It was hard to nail down a time line, so my using millions of years is only symbolism for a long time.) The subject of rejecting the biomass for food was actually the basis for that science fiction tale I wrote. Their rejection of the biomass made them extraordinarily sensitive to biologic invaders as they had lost most of their resistance to the microscopic world of would be infectors. They went on to illustrate why evolution was so important and necessary for creature development. As creatures including humans develop, they have to accumulate the built in protections from the environment that only evolution can bestow. Whenever the Gabriel did seed a prospective planet with life’s basics, they do not know in advance the twist and turns that evolution would take. They only knew that the evolving mass would develop defenses against predation and pathogens. Survival of any evolved life form would be dependent on how well they developed and maintained their defenses. Once a planet was seeded, the Gabriel could only visit wearing protective outerwear against the biology that was evolving or else risk being infected by opportunistic alien pathogens. It was the developing biomass that actually changed the planet and made it possible for land based life. One caveat, they stressed with emphasis that they did not invent the life process. It has always been a mystery to them. They also stressed their deep abiding faith in an original creation. Planet seeding was a change from the normal utilization of a livable planet. There was a time in their history that they would colonize a planet themselves. But eventually competition and political differences led to devastating wars between themselves and their colonial planets. It was these wars that made them decide to maintain their numbers and not expand by colonization. They can and do reproduce but reproduction is only to replace the numbers lost through accident such as an occasional mishap handling biological material. Sex is primarily recreational without any guilt. Feelings of possession and jealousy are alien to them. The use of birth machines is preferable to natural birth because of the control over the genes inherited by the offspring. Normal DNA of the Gabriel still contains genes from bygone times. Those older genes are usually dormant, but occasionally a naturally born offspring would be born with unwanted traits because of those genes. But with the invention and development of birthing machines, they gained control over inherited genes. I was struggling with the flow of information. I knew that this was either planted thoughts or an over active imagination that had watched too much “I Love Lucy”. The curious part was that the glimpses of this alien society only occurred during my deepest sleep. I always wake up with remembrances of what had happened. It was startling to say the least. Ordinary dreams, while sometimes startling, make almost no sense and are difficult to remember. Ordinary dreams also morph from one irrational thought to another. But this is not the case with the episodic encounters of the information flow from the Gabriel. Some of the piecemeal information related to their interactions with humans (us). One such incident had to do with certain problems encountered by the observing teams sent to Earth to monitor progress. The Gabriel used small flying machines, but powering them was a problem whenever they were far afield from their deployed ship. The solution they came up with was to induce the human population to build ‘resonate chambers’ (my term) that could channel energy to these small flyers. That shape was a pyramid of defined parameters that could supply energy to their flyers. Another problem cropped up whenever the Gabriel approached the humans. Their appearance in their environmental protective suits was received and treated with great reverence by the indigenous populations. The Gabriel finally resorted to relayed visions of what was required to the humans, but without fail, those visions got interpreted in terms of the localized religions. The resulting constructions were always an extension of those religions. A few of the constructions actually served their purpose and could recharge their flyers, but not all. Some were so elaborate and ornate that they were useless. Others were not the correct dimensions and were useless. The dimensions shown me were as follows: The perimeter of the base if it were a circle would have a height equal to the radius of that circle. The construction had to be aligned with the planet rotational poles. Size was always a problem in developing these structures. They needed adequate girth and height to be effective. But, as I said, a few were built that could do the job. The Gabriel was always sensitive to the barbarism displayed by the humans. They worked very hard to infuse a code of ethics that would tone down the natural tendency towards barbarity. But because of the bio hazard present, face to face meetings were practically impossible. They tried several times to approach the humans, but because of the bio hazard, had to wear full protective garb. They tried genetically altered hybrids to act as 'go-betweens', but the idea was fatally flawed, it never worked as intended. But then, a breakthrough! The Gabriel discovered that they could mimic human sounds using combustion. After much experimenting, and consulting, it was decided to take advantage of the spiritual nature of humans and speak to them directly using modulated combustion to mimic the audible communications by humans. Their construction for this purpose was a small tree made of tubes decorated to resemble the appearance of vegetation – but this tree burned and could talk. Fire became the medium of choice to communicate with humans. Some of the sound producing mechanisms used also included arcs of electrical discharge. As weird as this may sound, the whole impetus for creating these communicators was to lead humans to a less barbaric state. No, it would not be an overnight process, but by helping the different societies to adopt ethical principles, which if adopted universally, could drastically improve the fortunes of human kind. There is much more to relate, this is only the first of the many revelations of divulged to me. Robert can be reached via Email: Send comments to - editor@robfg.com Support Modern Conservatism!

A New Disease - Affluenza A New Way To Say "Spoiled Brat" Posted on December 26, 2013 The trial and resolution of the 16 year old teen whose accident resulted in the deaths of four people is still a major topic among us. I am not young anymore, but I once was. Back in the day, I logged many miles under the influence. It was different then with respect to the volume of traffic we have today. The point I want to make is that the 15 year old didn’t do anything different from most young men except for the fact that his intoxication caused the death of four people. I will not speak to the tragedy of the loss of life and sorrow suffered by the families of the victims. No, as heart rending as the tragedy was to them, I want to speak out about why it was important to not sentence that boy to prison. To begin with, intoxication causes behavioral changes. Being intoxicated blurs judgment, reaction, and coordination. There is also the problem of personality adjustment that sometimes accompanies intoxication. Normally docile people can become boisterous and obnoxious. The changes to a person who is intoxicated are well documented with most aberrations commonly known. Most of the feedback against the judge who decided the fate of the 16 year old fell into two categories. The first was aimed at revenge, the second; setting an example for future ‘would be’ drunk drivers. Revenge is one of those actions that ‘evens the score’ for those who were most affected by the tragedy. A person can’t help but feel for those whose loved ones were taken for no other reason than being innocent victims. I know that it is somewhat cold to say this, but nothing the state could do to that boy would bring those victims back. Scoping out for a broader picture, we have to look at society and the general acceptance of alcohol consumption. Consuming alcohol is strongly associated with pleasure. The thing to do when you want to meet with friends or make new ones is to go to a bar. If you attend a party, you can safely bet that there will be alcoholic beverages to ‘lighten up’ the party. We are bombarded with the message that the only way to enjoy a sporting event is by drinking beer. Beer is sold at most sporting events. In other words the social message everyone receives is that life is just more enjoyable if we just consume alcohol. But along with all the fun from drinking comes the problem of intoxication. I maintain that a drunk who has a wreck is no criminal; there is no malice or intent to do harm. We live in a permissive society that encourages drinking for pleasure. Socializing with alcohol is a de facto standard. Turning 21 is a highly anticipated event for a young person. Twenty-one is the age when a person is recognized as an adult and expected to take their place as a responsible citizen. One of the privileges of adulthood is the ability to buy and consume alcohol. Being able to legally consume alcohol is looked upon by the young as a major event in their life. How many of you can remember the anticipation of turning 21? In the case of the irresponsible young teen, his parent’s income was well above average and they did a poor job in monitoring their son’s activities or teaching him about life’s pitfalls that can arise from reckless behavior. He was not schooled by his parents in the importance of self-discipline, so he pretty much did what he wanted. Affluenza needs no explanation. It may not reside in the halls of accredited diseases, but is another way of expressing the term “spoiled brat”. He is not a criminal in the sense of intent but may, with a little help, yet be salvageable. The judge was faced with the option of sending him to prison where he would undoubtedly develop negatively because of his age… or not add to the casualty list yet another tragedy to the list of tragedies already being suffered. I would argue that there are merits to setting an example, but with that said; it is doubtful if those already at risk would heed the warning. Hopefully, the boy’s parents will have learned a lesson from this tragedy and that other parents will also learn from this tragic event. The real crime in this whole episode is poor parenting. I whole-heartedly support restitution for the victims making it abundantly clear that parents everywhere will be made responsible for their children’s actions. Restitution would also be a remedy for the victims’ loss of any income or expenses derived from such tragedies. My wife has suggested that the enablers who provided the sixteen-year old boy with alcohol should also be held responsible. Hitting them in the wallet would go a long way towards convincing others to not give alcohol to minors. Her point is specifically aimed at the friends of the minor who were old enough to buy booze and either bought some for, or shared the booze with minors. Parents can also have booze in their homes that the minor can pilfer. Her viewpoint stresses that without consequences, we will all pay the price for future tragedies. This writer thinks the judge got it right. We as a society are very lucky there aren’t more episodes of this nature because of the prevailing systemic attitude about alcohol consumption. When we quit treating drinking with reverence, and stop allowing drinking from being a rite of passage, then we will have made progress. In closing, I want you to at least think about criminal justice. Justice is not some tactic to ‘get even’. Criminal justice is the determination of guilt or innocence and punishment for purposeful acts. Not all accidents are criminal, but rather the sad result of unintentional consequences arising from poor judgment. It makes sense to not criminalize unintentional acts. Civil courts do a pretty good job at ‘leveling the playing field’ for non-criminal acts. A special thanks to the previewers of what I write. I use a lot of their suggestions. I often rewrite these articles upwards of five to six times. It should also be noted that all six of those with suggestions thought that the teen should have been given a heavier sentence, with only one suggesting the use of civil suits.

Memory Limits Memory Limits May Create Forgetfulness Posted on July 21, 2013 Just how big is our memory? I am only addressing a healthy normal brain status. There has got to be a limit to how much we can cram into our cranium. I ask this because it seems as the older I get, the foggier my memory gets, short term especially. There is the moment an older person walks into a room and has to think about why. Being naturally curious, I brought the subject up about memory size. Because of the passage of years, we accumulate a lot of visual and non visual information. Normally we can recall these memories with just a little coaxing or concentration. For instance I can still see my mother through the eyes of my younger years. I can conjure up images from the past at will with no problem, so that means that the information was stored. So again I ask, “How much storage is in a normal brain?” Could our learning curve level out as we get older because we have used up our available memory? If we insist upon adding information into our brain, does our brain have to ‘dump’ older memories to make room for the new information? If new information crowds out the old information, do we get any willful say-so about what gets jettisoned and what stays? I would just think that we do choose the memories that stay and what memories go by how frequently we use them. The so called short-term memories would have the fewest ‘hits’ simply because they haven’t been called upon as much as some of our older memories. I don’t want to confuse anybody about this piece because I certainly do not have answers, just questions. But if the brain selectively drops the least called upon memories to dump, then it follows that the most recent memories would have to go first. At my age, learning is a much more daunting task than just a few years ago. I have to read and re-read stuff to make sense of it. By repeating to myself what I am trying to learn, say HTML5, I eventually get the idea of what is expected. Does that mean that I have crowded out memories to make room for the new information? That is the question. Presumably, I will never know if certain memories are gone – I won’t remember! Support Modern Conservatism! "Good judgement comes from experience.

Memory Limits Information Overload Image from http://www.gfktechtalk.com/ Posted on November 24, 2013 This is the follow up part to the article I wrote about memory. I have questions that gnaw at me about the limits to our learning process. When a person dedicates his life to a special skill; would the accumulation of that knowledge use so much of a person’s memory and cognitive skills that additional skills become marginalized? Can a person become extremely competent at more than one skill? If not, why not? Is it a false assumption that our brains can get information overload? Skill sets are divided into different categories. There are literally thousands of specialties that a person can pursue. There are a lot of engineers specializing in specific disciplines, and it is probably safe to say that anybody who acquires the knowledge necessary for that discipline would be only mediocre at an additional skill set. Then there are the ‘jacks-of-all-trades’ that know a smattering about a lot of different skill sets but generally, not really an expert at any of them. The point is that there aren’t many experts in one skill set that is equally proficient in another. Why not? We have a lot of very smart people, some have a large mental capacity, but few can master more than one unrelated discipline. Humans can learn a lot about a specific subject, but only rarely do we find a person capable of expertise in more than one category. Progress creates additional information. The amount of information gained by the many disciplines is growing exponentially. Specialties are becoming more divided as discovery and research branches into even narrower, more focused specializations. In the not-too-distant future, as our knowledge base continues to expand, we will become more dependent upon our computers to make sense out of even simple abstracts. Our brains will also have to evolve if we are to solve evermore complex problems. As things progress, without more brain development, there will be no human that will be capable of absorbing enough information to fully understand the new working abstracts. Group think will pass for a while but soon even group think will be surpassed as the various mysteries of the different sciences reveal themselves. And, new discoveries will create a demand for a greater information base than even a group will be able to master. Our learning curve for understanding a particular subject still has to start with the basics. The learning curve for a particular subject is lengthening all the time because of the incremental advances made. We have to learn much more about a given subject than just a decade ago. Everything is much more complex than it once was. Understanding any technology requires the learning of its basics for an initial understanding of that technology, and also the conceptual understanding of the developments of that technology. As a technology gets more complex, the amount of material that must be absorbed to stay current pushes our ability. Our lifespan is increasing, and that is fine for giving us more time to hone our skills if only our brains were increasing their capacity to go along with our increasing lifespan. The future does not look bright for humans. Science fiction writers have been on to this problem for years. They have written many stories about mankind’s dependency on their machines and even suggested that we will turn to our machines to devise even smarter machines to solve ever increasing complex problems. It inevitably will become a world where the machines are smarter than humans – and that isn’t good. When that time comes, we will be relegated to the status of curiosities taking up space in a world that we don’t and can’t understand because it will have been designed by machines that are smarter than we.

War with the West

How would you go about subduing much more powerful countries than any of those aligned with your own? Think about that for a moment. There aren’t any Muslim countries that could alone or collectively stand up to the Western nations. That is a problem that Islam has solved. Islam seeks to purify the world and eliminate all infidels leaving Islam as the last religion standing. Numerical numbers do not translate into strong armies when arrayed against technological superior armies. So to accomplish their goal, Islam needed a strategy that would give Islam an edge over the West.

What Islam came up with was plausible deniability by the various Muslim countries. This was accomplished by forming an army called Al Qaeda. With Al Qaeda, the Muslim world had a front group that they could support, yet be able to deny their culpability.

All Muslim countries support Al Qaeda in some form or another. That support may come in supplies, money, a place to train the recruits, or a network of Madras’s to indoctrinate young Muslims scattered throughout the Muslim world. The plan itself is masterful. Saudi Arabia may be supplying the manpower but not allowing training bases. In fact, they may militarily clamp down on Al Qaeda activities within their border, but you will notice that they still support the Wahhabi Muslim sect. In other words, they can openly oppose and support at the same time.

Whether we look at Afghanistan, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Djibouti, Indonesia or any of the other Muslim countries, the same pattern exists. Each one will oppose any Al Qaeda activity except the part that they are contributing. Al Qaeda becomes nebulous and not related to any particular country. There is not one entity that we can strike at because the threat is woven into the whole of the Muslim fabric.

Any Muslim nation that openly declares war on the West would be defeated. Iraq is testament to that fact. Saddam Hussein allowed his ego into thinking that he could openly oppose and get away with his activities. His invasion of Kuwait became his undoing. He made a bad miscalculation on whether the West would allow him to seize so much of the world’s oil production. Realizing that open military junkets against the West were futile, the Muslim world figured out a strategy that would keep them safe and still carry out a war at the same time.

Have you ever heard of ‘death by a thousand cuts’? The terror campaign carried out by Al Qaeda does the cutting, bleeding the Western cultures monetarily and spiritually. An embassy bombing here and a plane crash there, with suicide bombers and roadside bombs sprinkled all over the map has been a very successful campaign. Make no mistake; this Muslim effort to root out the infidels is a unified effort. At its core we don’t find politicians, we find holy men. Holy men are not political which is why the politicians will not succeed with political solutions.

In the weaker countries the Muslims carry out their genocide of non Muslims. It is the motivation for the killings in Darfur and other countries such as the Philippines and Kosovo. Any country showing weaknesses becomes a target. Politically, Muslims have been able to distort the public perceptions about the indigenous peoples of their target countries as being bigoted and anti Muslim. They maintain the charade of being the religion of peace but their history tells a different story. Since the genesis of that religion, they have been at war with the rest of the world. Most of the territory under Muslim authority has come by way of the forced conversion. In other words, you become a Muslim or die. The children are put through their religious schools and know of nothing other than what they are taught at these schools.

The Muslim world will have to be defeated in such a manner that it will extinguish the idea Muslims have about other religions. It is the true test of our times to defeat those who mean non-Muslims harm.

In that regard, President Obama is showing no sign that he understands the scope of the problems that we are facing, or it could be construed that he does understand and privately supports the efforts of the Muslim world to destroy the non-Muslim beliefs and cultures.

In the meantime we as free Americans, under Obama, award those dedicated killers of the non-Muslim faith, full protection as if they were American citizens instead of vigorously pursuing those who want to harm us.

All of Obama’s measures such as the closing of Guantanamo, bowing to the Arabian King, awarding combatants the same rights as citizens, giving phony deadlines to Iran, trying to force Israel to accept unacceptable terms, and not recognizing that the Fort Hood killer was a terrorist, all combine to give the image of a either weak President, or at least the consideration that he supports the Jihad efforts.

This President’s aggressive takeover of our private sector and reckless spending of public money and obsequious behavior to the Muslim world worries me. He is either really stupid or anti-American.

Cheers,

The Chest of Gold

I wrote this for my pretty granddaughter. She is 13, boy-crazy, full of confidence, and enthusiasm for life. She lives with her mother, brother, and the mother’s boyfriend. She has already witnessed much of life’s seedier side but still remains buoyant and effervesces with enthusiasm about life. I had reservations about her reading it because she might get the feeling that it is accusatory. But that is far from my motive for writing this piece. It was written out of love and with the hope she might glean something useful.

A young girl budding into womanhood should take to heart the following. –

Her body is like a chest of gold. She is rich in desirability and can attract males effortless. Life favors the young and adventurous and young girls epitomize this verve and enthusiasm. But there is another side to this story. It has been written in different ways but to the same end in countless civilizations.

In all matters of a girl sharing her body, only rape is not under her control. All encounters except rape have at the very least, her implied permission, if not complete advocacy. A budding young girl must be aware of the dangers of spending her treasure.

Remember, her treasure chest is full at puberty. With every coin of that treasure she spends on chance or planned encounters, she becomes a little less valuable. The female was given the mission to find and mate with a partner who will share the responsibilities of raising the next generation. It is sad but true, if a girl’s treasury is dwindling, finding a suitable mate becomes harder. In fact, it becomes almost impossible if she has spent all of her treasure seeking physical pleasures.

Many women who have spent their treasure foolishly live out the longest part of their lives lonely because they wasted their treasure on selfish frivolity. But the girl who does not waste her treasure remains desirable and has a better chance of finding an enduring mate. That road is not an easy one but the payoff is far greater than all other roads.

If a young girl is patient and thrifty with her treasure, she will reap the rewards of respect, love, family, and companionship in her golden years. Do not neglect those future years, they swoop down faster than an eagle can fly. The older years make up the longest part of our adult lives. And when age does become a factor in what you do and how you live, the dumb decisions made as a young girl could bear the bitter fruit of tumult and misery. But the girl who valued her treasure found it much easier to find a suitable and dedicated father for her children. And it is her family that will become the mainstay of her life in those later years.

I would add in closing, if you are a budding young woman, do not waste your treasure on someone without commitment. Every coin spent from your treasure chest without a dedicated mate only makes you worth less. It is like removing coins from a piggy bank only this bank doesn’t accept deposits. A young man with the promise of greatness will not willingly want to share his life with a woman who is worldlier and more experienced than he. Men find those types of women in brothels. In a brothel, men use the women and pay for selfish pleasures but do not marry them. The only difference between the professional prostitute and the young girl who gives away her treasure for free is that the young girl will not receive payment for her services.

Keep in mind, there is only so much treasure, and once it’s gone, it can never be replaced.

The Terrorists are Winning

The terrorists are winning the battle and cowering this society. We have a President that projects weakness. Weakness is provocative to the Jihadists. With every policy action by this President, the signal of weakness shouts out loud and clear to everybody including our enemies.

It is we the American people who must now sit in airplane seats like criminals with hands visible on knees, and no bathroom trips during airport approaches, etc. We have a government that will not take a stand against the Muslim Jihadists who want to kill us. We have a President who is naïve enough to think that by being obsequious to those who want to kill us will somehow make good guys out of them. This President is a loser and has surrounded himself with a bunch of radicals with a disdain for this country. Obama does not have a grasp of the greatness of this country or the reasons for its greatness.

The radical left is too stupid to understand that the only reason we do not have to carry prayer rugs and bow to Mecca 5 times a day is the strength and fortitude of our government and military. Even in the light of such a truth, we have to suffer the fools who attack our recruitment centers, drive the ROTC away from our colleges and jeer our servicemen and women. The Jihadists prey upon our folly and gain strength from it.

I want a President who stands for something. We don’t need a President who will not be proud of his country. We do not need a President who runs around apologizing for America and bowing to other world leaders. Obama is a liar, vacillates on important issues, and is constantly blaming others for his problems. Hopefully, help is just 3 short years away, but in the meantime, we can help nullify his stupidity in November of 2010.

I want a President who understands that Roosevelt’s policies did not get us out of the depression. What you hear about WWII getting us out of the depression is only partly true. The war in the economical sense was a giant government spending spree. It did put people to work but also ran up a huge national debt. What saved our bacon was after the war and the fact that we were the only industrialized country that was not damaged by the war. It was kind of like having the only store in town. England was devastated, Japan was devastated, Europe and Russia were practically destroyed, so if the world needed manufactured goods, we were it. It was Roosevelt’s policies after the war that enabled us to make a financial comeback. Roosevelt ended wage and price controls and unleashed our private sector.

From the private sector flows prosperity. Prosperity is not generated by government. Every dollar that the government spends has to come from the private sector. When the government spends ten dollars, it has to take ten dollars out of the economy. The more that government spends, the more that has to come out of the economy. At best, the only thing that the government can do is redistribute money from one group to another.

Redistribution may sound pretty good, but it has one major flaw. The source for the money that gets redistributed goes away. The efforts of the entrepreneurs that make the money, get taxed out of existence or they relocate somewhere that allows them to operate without the high taxes to fund redistribution. And, with a declining income, if the government wants to continue spending, it has to monetize the debt – meaning just print the money. When that happens, the value of the money goes down. It is a lose – lose proposition for everybody.

The problem is very visible today in New York and California. These two states are broke and can’t find enough money to pay their bills. They have managed to tax the money makers and wealth creators out of their states. California, New York, New Jersey, and Michigan exemplify this problem. They have lost a large percentage of their wealth creators to states and countries with a better business climate. Compounding their problems is that these states don’t lose those people with their hands out, those hands get multiplied because when the wealth creators are driven out, jobs leave with them. The lose of wealth creators result in increases of the unemployed as jobs become scarcer.

That is why you need elected officials who understand how business operates. Obama has wasted the good will and hopes of the people who elected him with political patronage and payoffs to his buddies. He is dirty (politically) and the press continues to cover for him. For Shame!

I feel betrayed by this President. America is being led off the cliff by a left wing radical with the press rooting him on. I disagreed with Bush on a lot of issues, but I never thought that he was out to destroy us. He certainly would not have bowed to an Arabian King or criticized America.

Come on November. Hopefully we will survive this idiot President until we can change the makeup of the congress.

Cheers,

-Robert-
