Will The Nukes Work ???

Some interesting thoughts from Jim's Blog:

Do anyone’s nukes still work? My guess is that Global American Empire nukes stopped working a long time ago, but some Russian nukes still work.

Nukes were and are made out of components that deteriorate over time, and have to regularly refurbished, reconditioned and sometimes rebuilt. And if you are not testing, your maintenance process is likely to go off the rails when the men that built those bombs retire. The test ban treaty was a stealth slow motion nuclear disarmament treaty.

In a former life, my roommate at US Navy Officer Candidate School and classmate at Nuclear Power School is now a retired Captain who, among other things, was one of the managers of our Stockpile Stewardship Program. He is a VERY intelligent and capable guy. If he believes they'll work, they will.

So don't get your hopes up that the test ban treaty has disarmed anyone. The nukes are ready to go, and they'll do a bang-up job if used. They are nowhere near as decrepit as our current Commander in Chief.

AI And The JFK Assassination

According to this report, AI may soon be used to solve the JFK "murder mystery":

https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/1777026/artificial-intelligence-john-f-kennedy-us-government

Please allow me to say this about that:

1. I would be astonished if the original Nix film still exists. But the available copies do show important information, especially when compared to the Zapruder film. The Nix film clearly shows the limousine was slowing almost to a stop and then sped up, which is what all the witnesses claimed. The Zapruder film shows no such stop-and-go motion, which more or less proves it has been altered.

2. I suggest that AI be used to analyze the Altgens 6 photo to determine whether it confirms Lee Harvey Oswald was standing in the far left of the doorway:

  • whoever it is, they are wearing the shirt Oswald had on when he was arrested;
  • they are standing in a posture characteristic of Oswald;
  • when interrogated, that's where Oswald said he was;
  • two credible witnesses saw him in the lunchroom just a few moments after the shooting; and
  • no one saw him coming down the stairs from the "sniper's nest", although several people had the opportunity to do so had he been there.

Oswald was NOT one of the shooters. The real mystery is who WAS, and why the FBI and our "intelligence agencies" lied about it.

By the way, did anyone actually LOOK for the curtain rods? We could have cleared most of this up 50 years ago.

How To Do It

Apparently some Methodists are confused about Jesus and the Bible:

Divisions over LGBT people are “the symptom of a theological divide within the denomination,” said Brian Straub [who] is an ordained pastor in the Global Methodist Church. "We all believe that gay people are worthy of Christian love. We don’t agree on how to do that."

I think Jesus already provided the answer. He forgave sin, but He never maintained that those He forgave were NOT sinners. He typically would send them on their way while saying "Go, and sin no more."

The problem with these Methodists (and most people) is they have forgotten why we weren't supposed to eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil and the consequences of doing so.

The Long Road Down

Here is an extensive analysis of the fall of the US empire:

The parallels with Rome are astonishing, but it's not like no one could have seen this coming.

Here is additional discussion:

The forces behind this are too powerful, and the potential resistance is too weak:

I guess if you spend enough money, you can silence just about anyone. It will be instructive to see how Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. fares. If they succeed in silencing him too, that'll more or less seal our fate.

In Love With AI ???

Here is a bizarre essay which claims that US dominance of AI will compensate for any of our shenanigans in Ukraine and Taiwan:

https://www.globalresearch.ca/ai-more-powerful-than-ukraine-taiwan/5820812

From my perspective, I might believe that some people will benefit from AI ... mainly the disruptor class, astute investors, and a select few corporate entities. But the rest of us? No way.

Almost anything a human can do, AI can do better. And faster, without complaint, and for a lower cost. It will make humanity obsolete. And useless people don't survive in this world. TPTB are making that abundantly clear.

So go ahead, believe this nonsense if you want. I'm sticking with the facts, and so far AI has done nothing for me.

The Great Green Deception

We're all being told we MUST switch to "sustainable"/"alternative" forms of energy to save the planet from global warming.

But there are other things we're NOT being told, such as ...

Most "sustainable"/"alternative" energy (wind, solar, hydro, ocean waves, etc.) ultimately comes from the Sun. Any currently untapped potential energy from these intermediate sources is dissipated and/or radiated back into space.

But what happens when we "tap" those sources to make electricity or cook our food? Doing so generates heat which is trapped in the air, water, and soil before being radiated back into space via new paths. In other words, it will heat up the planet more or less the same amount as an equivalent expenditure of fossil fuel-derived BTUs.

The only potential difference is that the "net zero" carbon approach may ensure that CO2 and other "greenhouse gasses" will not be generated in the process, allowing the new heat balance to be achieved at a lower temperature.

But is that even feasible? Here are two recent reports which say otherwise:

https://mishtalk.com/economics/bidens-solar-push-is-destroying-the-desert-and-releasing-stored-carbon

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/lab-grown-meats-carbon-footprint-likely-orders-magnitude-worse-retail-beef-study

We'll probably not reach net zero no matter how hard we try.

The bottom line? No one is doing a COMPLETE energy balance on the schemes being proposed to "save us". The only real way to cut back on the human contribution to global warming is to cut back on the number of humans.

And if that's even necessary (many credible scientists say it's not), who gets to authorize what would be the greatest mass killing of human beings in history? The brain-dead pedophile in the White House? The psychopaths in Congress? The Davos/WEF beast?

I thought this was a democracy. Silly me!
