Plenty of cults exist - every cult has its 'religious dogma', its idols, its 'prophets', its 'science', its 'proof' and its intolerant liturgy of demands. Cults everywhere: Corona, 'The Science' or Scientism, Islam, the State, the cult of Gender Fascism, Marxism, Darwin and Evolution, Globaloneywarming, Changing Climate, Abortion...
Tempus Fugit Memento Mori - Time Flies Remember Death
"That the earth is a sphere is shown by the fact that as one goes south the stars of the northern constellations appear to sink down, and those of the south to rise higher; and also by the fact that the shadow of the earth, as cast on the moon in eclipses, is circular." (Aristotle, On the Heavens)
Aristotle’s observations are correct and confirmed. He offers 3 good reasons why this planet is a spheroid, and these are discussed below.
The ‘Enlightenment’ based its animus against the ‘Schoolmen’ on the idea that the medieval era ‘slavishly followed’ Aristotle. Unlike the Muslims and Arabs, the European medieval scholars did not. Beginning in the 12th century, Christians translated, analysed, experimented with, and eventually overturned, Aristotlelian physics.
However, some astronomical observations made by Aristotle, or the ‘teacher’, some 2500 years ago, are entirely valid and these informed medieval and early modern astronomy. There is nothing ‘dark’ about that. Use what works. Reject what does not. Given the vast quantity of Aristotle’s work, this analysis does take time.
The Flat Earth question is related to Relativity and some of the topics we have analysed in over 100 posts on the Einstein-fraud. Essentially, much of ‘science’ is about philosophy and the filtering, interpreting and modelling of phenomena through world-views and agendas. The same applies to how Flat Earthers ingest and transform experiential data and observations. More here
“A more intriguing instance of this so-called “time dilation” is the well- known ‘twin paradox,’ where one of two twins goes for a journey and returns to find himself younger than his brother who remained behind. This case allows more scope for muddled thinking because acceleration can be brought into the discussion.
Einstein maintained the greater youthfulness of the travelling twin, and admitted that it contradicts the principle of relativity, saying that acceleration must be the cause (Einstein 1918). In this he has been followed by relativists in a long controversy in many journals, much of which ably sustains the character of earlier speculations … as “monstrous”. (Max Born 1956).
The ‘muddled thinking’ of Relativity, if one can term obstruse, unproven, illogical, tautological and fraudulent theory as ‘thinking’. As Born states, the idea of the ‘twin paradox’ based on ‘time dilation’ makes little sense (more below). We discussed the tautological aspects of time dilation in the previous post. In this post we will extend this analysis and eviscerate the entire concept.
(discussed here in some mathematical detail as well)
The Special Theory of Relativity (STR) proposes that fast moving objects will ‘age’ more slowly than slower objects. ‘Fast moving’ always means at the ‘speed of light’ for Einstein. A travelling ‘twin’, rocketing off into deep space, will age more slowly than the sibling twin back on Earth returning from his voyage ‘younger’ in actual age and appearance.
The ‘twin paradox’ is probably the most famous implication emanating from STR. It would mean that the age of the cosmos is extremely different than Earth time. A few thousand years on this planet might well equate into millions or billions in space time. The author fully agrees that is likely the case, but it has nothing to do with Einstein or Relativity. We can explain this from gravity and energy, and the infinite speed of light.
There is no way to verify the twin paradox of course. Supposedly this phenomenon was ‘validated’ in 1971 using atomic clocks on commercial flights but this is untrue. This experiment (Hafele-Keating) simply demonstrated that gravity and its effect on instrumentation had a small, almost infinitesimal impact on clocking within the Earth’s multi-layered atmosphere.

“The Michelson-Morley experiment confronted scientists with an embarrassing alternative. On the one hand they could scrap the ether theory which had explained so many things about electricity, magnetism, and light. Or if they insisted on retaining the ether they had to abandon the still more venerable Copernican theory that the earth is in motion.
To many physicists it seemed almost easier to believe that the earth stood still than that waves – light waves, electromagnetic waves – could exist without a medium to sustain them. It was a serious dilemma and one that split scientific thought for a quarter century. Many new hypotheses were advanced and rejected.
The experiment was tried again by Morley and by others, with the same conclusion; the apparent velocity of the earth through the ether was zero.”
Lincoln Barnett, The Universe and Dr. Einstein, p. 44
The quote above dear friends, is the heart of the matter.
It is never taught why the philosophical-mathematical chimera of ‘Relativity’ was erected as dogmatic gospel truth, more divine than any creed emanating from the Catholic Church. The idempotent galvanising factor is the reality that we on this globe have not, and cannot, mechanically measure, using light interference experiments, a movement of this planet through the heavens. Relativity was conjured by the mathigicians to explain this anomaly.
As a ‘science’ Relativity has no merit, as about 1000 pages on this substack attest and establish. It was, and still is, a maths game of illusion.
One of the most risible and inane scientistic marketing claims is that Einstein was a ‘genius’ and the ‘greatest scientist ever’. Neither is true. He was not a practical scientist, and did not build a single experiment to prove this anti-scientific ‘thought experiments’.
‘The’ Einstein created elaborate tensor-calculus models which mean nothing. The author uses the same in his quotidian existence. The author can take any tensor model, distort it, beat it, torture it and force it to produce anything he wants. It does not mean it is ‘science’. More here
“We see thus that we cannot attribute any absolute meaning to the concept of simultaneity. Rather, two events which, considered from one system of reference, are simultaneous, can, considered from a system moving in relation to the former, not be considered as simultaneous.”
“Zur Elektrodynamik bewegter Körper” (“On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies”), Annalen der Physik, 17, Sept. 26, 1905, p. 897.
We discuss why this contention is false. Einstein was more or less forced to his conclusions about motion and time dilation due to his ‘principle of equivalence’, which holds that there is no net difference between gravitational force and acceleration, and both effects will produce the same results. This equivalence was never proven, is patently false and is just assumed. Further, absolute time never slows, only a measured, calculated frequency of time will vary.
‘Education’, whatever that word means, does not teach critical thinking, nor encourage Thomasian doubts about dogma. Saint Albert’s canon preaches ‘relativity’ of all variables and phenomena. Fine. I will now opt to keep lengths and time constant but change the speed of light. Everything is ‘relative’ isn’t it?
Mathematically speaking, the two solutions, where we have a variance in light speed in the second solution (with invariance in the first), are precisely equivalent. In this case, the ‘relative’ nature of Relativity comes back to haunt it and using the Saint’s own maths we can ‘prove’ that light is invariant which destroys the principle axiom of ‘relativity’. So much science. More here
“For seventy-two years [1905- 1977] humanity has been browbeaten by an incomparably brazen bit of pseudo-science because its perpetrators have defended it by using mathematics which, though valid in itself, is not applied in relation to objective facts that are analyzed logically in the real world.
Recondite kinds of higher mathematics have been falsely used to create an awesome, esoteric language whereby the initiated elite have set themselves apart from the world and have labeled all dissenters as quacks.”
(Richard Hazelett and Dean Turner, The Einstein Myth and the Ives Papers: A Counter- Revolution in Physics, 1979, pp. 88-91)
Reductionist mathematics has now replaced reality.
The General Theory of Relativity (GTR) and the Big Bang, premised on gravity, paradoxically predict an expanding, infinite universe, with galaxies moving away from us at high speeds. Unfortunately for this dogma, there are galaxies which are not moving away at high speeds, and which are moving toward(s) us. This comports with data from the James Webb Telescope and other probes which indicate no expansion and perhaps a far smaller, finite universe than that proposed by the Church of Cosmology, with chaotic movements and directions.
Key gospel claims from the Church of Relativity include:
Gravity, within a curvature of spacetime, is generated by unknown forces, by the attraction of masses and energy (false, disproven by reality)
Spacetime is a four-dimensional continuum (unproven, false, impossible)
The laws of physics are the same for all observers, regardless of their motion (Wrong, Relativity denies that the motion of the observer impacts light speed or velocity, a patently false assertion)
Light follows geodesics (the shortest paths) in curved spacetime (false, spacetime not curved, tautological)
Gravitational time dilation and length contraction occur (absurd, unproven)
These are philosophical assertions not facts. For example, no one discusses ‘Blueshifting’ because it eviscerates the Church’s narrative and rhetoric around GTR and the Big Bang. NASA or Not a Space Agency defines the Blueshift in the following terms:
"Blueshift is a decrease in the wavelength of light emitted from an object that is moving towards us. It is caused by the Doppler effect, which compresses the light waves as the source moves closer."
There are a few problems with this definition. Light emission is a frequency and spectrum issue. It does not indicate movement. It does not mean that the object is not moving toward us, but it does not guarantee it is doing so. Second, the Doppler effect, is another word-salad. There are many issues with such an ‘effect’.

“Among the earliest predictions about the morphology of the universe is that it be filamentary (Alfven, 1950). This prediction follows from the fact that volume wise, the universe is 99.999% matter in the plasma state. For the most part, plasma consists of particles at high temperatures, i.e. an energetic state…the volume of plasma is inhomogeneous.”
(Anthony Peratt, ‘Plasma and the Universe’, Astrophysics & Space Science, 1995, 227:97)
The aether exists. Plasma is a part of this aether. Most of the universe might be composed of plasma. When the thin-armed wizards and necromancers offer incantations and sacrifices to various gods including ‘dark matter’, do they not mean plasma and the aether?
In the previous post we stated that the plasma-electromagnetic universe disproves Relativity and the Biggest of the Bangs. Given the elastic-ontological and philosophical nature of Relativity and the Big Bang, this statement needs more explication. More here
“To put it very simply, plasma is matter that is made of ‘incomplete or partial atoms’, known as ions, and the much smaller particles known as protons and electrons. Plasma has sometimes been called the fourth state of matter, after solid, liquid and gas, but finer even than gas…the Sun is entirely composed of plasma and the stars are plasma too.” (Robert Temple, physicist, p. 3 in ‘A new science of heaven’)
If ‘the science’ invents untruths about ‘viruses’, ‘vaccines’, ‘climate’, geo-engineering, DARPA, HAARP, ‘evolution’, physics, ‘relativity’, the biggest of bangs, cosmology and ‘space travel’, what else do these institutions lie about? Or to phrase it more logically – is there anything they don’t lie about?
If the Americans had really gone to the moon from 1969-1972, the actornauts would have passed into, and died within, highly charged spheres of radiation and plasma which dominate the regions in ‘space’ between the Earth and the Moon. Space is not a vacuum as sermonised by the philosopher-comedian-maths torturer Einstein and his cult.
As R. Temple (quoted above) and posts on this substack describe at some length, ‘space’ is suffused with ‘ionised plasma’ along with neutrinos, sub-atomic particles, electro-magnetic energy, gamma rays, cosmic rays and other materiality, within an aether medium. All of this is still formally rejected by ‘mainstream science’ which still prattles on about a ‘vacuum’.
Interestingly, one searches in vain for any data or information from NASA or any of the other worthies of ‘the science’ in the 1970s, on the reality of an aether and plasma. Supposedly they launched missions through these ‘dust clouds’. So where is the evidence and telemetry that they did?
In fact, researchers who ‘discovered’ these attributes of near space were either censored or their work concealed (the Hungarian scientist Albert Saint George is an example). Using the law of parsimony, we can logically conclude that the sojourn to the moon was also a fraud. The Americans and their film agency NASA know full well we are not zooming to the moon or mars.

“Arago submitted the matter to the test of experiment (in 1810) and concluded that the light coming from any star behaves in all cases of reflexion and refraction precisely as it would if the star were situated in the place which it appears to occupy in consequence of aberration, and the earth were at rest; so that the apparent refraction in a moving prism is equal to the absolute refraction in a fixed prism.” (E. T. Whittaker, A History of the Theories of Aether and Electricity, Dublin University Press, Longmans, Green and Co., 1910, p. 116)
The Arago failure in 1810 to find a moving Earth, was a galvanizing impetus for Copernicans to find a solution to the travesty of not being able to mechanically measure the movement of this planet. Contrary to myth, not since the time of Copernicus or Galileo had mechanical proof for the mobility of this planet ever been manufactured. Enter the Relativists and the Einstotle, the Jewish theologian and philosopher, skilled with confusionist maths.
The current cosmological model, based on Relativity and the Big Bang is most certainly invalid. Newton, not the Einstotle, was far more accurate in his cosmology and he had little to say about endless expansion, fantastic galaxial speeds or the phantoms of ‘dark energy’ and ‘dark matter’ (another term for the aether, a word which cannot never be uttered).
Newtonian physics, with its flaws, is still the basis of cosmology. A main problem with the hermetic Newton, is the ‘mechanisation’ or ‘clockwork’ model of the universe. This is an impossibility in reality and is a philosophical not a scientific contention. More here
“…scientists announced tantalizing hints that the universe is actually relatively small, with a hall-of-mirrors illusion tricking us into thinking that space stretches on forever….Weeks and his colleagues, a team of astrophysicists in France, say the WMAP results suggest that the universe is not only small, but that space wraps back on itself in a bizarre way (Nature, vol. 425, p. 593)….
Effectively, the universe would be like a hall of mirrors, with the wraparound effect producing multiple images of everything inside. [Spergel adds]: “If we could prove that the universe was finite and small, that would be Earth- shattering. It would really change our view of the universe” (Hazel Muir, “Does the Universe Go On Forever,” New Scientist, October 11, 2003, p. 6)
WMAP is the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (discussed here). Over the past 20 years, the observational data coming in contradicts Relativity and the Big Bang.
Recent JWST data supports the WMAP observations, as outlined in 2 previous posts (here and here). ‘The Science’ does not discuss any of this, or as usual, makes the obscene claim that both WMAP and JWST support their ‘standard model’! What else would someone expect from the propaganda mills which support the narrative?
Launched in December 2021, the JWST is the largest telescope ever deployed, with about 6 times the Hubble Space Telescope’s light collecting power. The JWST is comprised of a mirror with 18 hexagonal mirror segments, made of gold-plated beryllium, across some 270 square feet (25 square meters). It was sent 1.5 million km (930.000 miles) from Earth in the opposite direction from the Sun. More here
“E. Hubble has shown that the observational data which he has obtained do not agree satisfactorily with the homogeneous relativistic cosmological models [Big Bang models]…the homogeneous models give an unrealistic picture of the physical universe.
Perhaps this should not be too surprising, since Tolman [Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 20, 169, 1934] has shown that, subject to certain simplifying conditions, a homogeneous model is unstable under perturbations in density. Any local tendency to expand would be emphasized by further expansion. Likewise, any local tendency to contract would be followed by further contraction. Thus if a homogeneous model is disturbed, it becomes nonhomogeneous.”
Guy C. Omer, Jr., “A Nonhomogeneous Cosmological Model,” Journal of the American Astronomical Society, vol. 109, 1949, pp. 165-166.
Omer is right. It was known back in the 1930s and 40s that Hubble’s claim of endless universal expansion did not comport with the data. The universe does not display the ‘homogenous’ characteristics demanded by Hubble, the Big Bang, or Relativity. Yet the ‘Standard Model’ of cosmology is entirely constructured around these false declamations. Why?
Modern cosmology is a new domain which does not make it ‘The Science’. It is just over 100 years in age and is based on Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity (GTR), which is fundamentally invalid; Hubble’s ‘law’ (more below) and the ‘Big Bang’ model (‘The Science’ delusion) which is incoherent and suffers from any number of defects. The ‘gravitational effect’ promoted by GTR is unproven and lies outside any possible physical proof, provides the mathematical-philosophical foundation for much of Big Bang cosmology, along with Hubble’s law (discussed below). Neither are ‘scientific’ or ‘proven’. More here
“How significant is this quadrupole-octopole alignment? As a simple definition of preferred axis, [it] denotes the spherical harmonic coefficients of the map in a rotated coordinate system….if the CMB is an isotropic Gaussian random field, then a chance alignment this good requires a 1-in-62 fluke.” (Max Tegmark, Angélica de Oliveira-Costa and Andrew Hamilton, “A high resolution foreground cleaned CMB map from WMAP,” Physical Rev. D, July 26, 2003, p. 14)
To translate the above, "Scientists have found that two specific patterns (four poles and eight poles within the cosmic background radiation), in the early universe's picture are lined up in a very unusual way. If our current understanding of the universe is correct, this alignment should be completely random. But the odds of it happening by chance are very low, maybe about 1 in 62 (or much lower in the author’s opinion). This suggests that there might be something about the universe we don't understand."
The above observation and interpretation indicate a far smaller universe than we are told. That is what they mean by ‘something about the universe that we don’t understand’. Distant events, WMAP, JWST, COBE and other telescopic and probe information, do not support the infinite universe model. Einstein was right when he originally believed, based on some basic Newtonian logic, that the universe was likely static and not infinite or expanding. One for Einstein! More here
Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889 – 1951) from the Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus:
‘Occam's Razor is, of course, not an arbitrary rule nor one justified by its practical success. It simply says that unnecessary elements in a symbolism mean nothing. Signs which serve one purpose are logically equivalent; signs which serve no purpose are logically meaningless.’
Ludwig is right and this is one reason amongst hundreds why Relativity is a false religion. It is suffused with meaningless maths and symbols.
One of the greatest frauds in history is the Relativity cult. It has elevated and cojoined abstruse mathematical models with ‘science’. We are assaulted with the destructive arcana and tautological calculations used by the cult of Relativity as described on this substack in various posts. Because the cat jumped does not mean that Relativity is true. Relativity has no connection with physical, mechanical proofs or experimentation.
If we address philosophy, we know that in reality, in our world, the word ‘science’ has come to mean nothing. It is now defined as the ‘right answer’, as demanded by the ‘Enlightenment’ theory of ‘reason’ uber-alles, sermonised to the peasants by the high priests of the Church of ‘The Science’. We live in the matrix of Saint Simon’s ‘Church of Reason’ where reason and rationality are not understood and are applied without definition.
Much of what is deemed rational is irrational, and much which is described as reasonable is unreasonable and unverifiable. More here
Einstein himself admitted to an unlimited celestial light-speed ten years after he claimed it was constant.
The ‘greatest scientist evah’ wrote:
“In the second place our result shows that, according to the general theory of relativity, the law of the constancy of the velocity of light in vacuo, which constitutes one of the two fundamental assumptions in the special theory of relativity and to which we have already frequently referred, cannot claim any unlimited validity.
A curvature of rays of light can only take place when the velocity of propagation of light varies with position. Now we might think that as a consequence of this, the special theory of relativity and with it the whole theory of relativity would be laid in the dust. But in reality this is not the case.
We can only conclude that the special theory of relativity cannot claim an unlimited domain of validity; its results hold only so long as we are able to disregard the influences of gravitational fields on the phenomena (e.g., of light).”
Albert Einstein, Relativity: The Special and the General Theory, translation by Robert W. Lawson, 1961, p. 85.
In the quote above, the Einstotle says that the key postulate upon which the Special Theory of Relativity (STR) is based is wrong, but that is okay. It just proves that STR is valid though not infallible nor infinite! Doesn’t everyone wish that their philosophy or theory, no matter the objective evidence or proof, is valid and a ‘law’ that others must follow. We discussed in many posts why Einstein knew that light speed was variant.
We have discussed Relativity and what Einstein, and the Relativists were trying to accomplish. Einstein never ‘discovered’ ‘Relativity’ as a theory or concept, but simply a version of it based on the work of many predecessors and contemporaries. In essence he was a plagiariser and a manipulator, or to be generous, a simplifier of other people’s work, even though his work is tautological, convoluted, issued and propagated without physical proof.
Einstein’s version of Relativity is unique in its philosophical and metaphysical application of a merged spacetime, itself based on Minkowski’s and Palagyi’s maths. This is of course one of the greatest frauds in science. Time can never be merged with space as many posts outline (examples, here, here, here).
It is absurd, nay insane, to assign a merged time and space dimension along a 4th axis, affixed to Euclid’s 3 axes, pointing nowhere; and claim that your apple (or the Earth), has its own coordinate system, occupying a unique ‘space’ within the grid; endowed with its own ‘relative time’, different than that of the orange (or our moon) sitting next to it.
Relativity is a fantasy. More here
Previously we went through the tortured gymnastics used by the Einstein cult to mathematically describe the gravitational attraction between the Sun and the largest planet in our solar system, Jupiter, King of the Greek and Roman gods.
The purported proofs for Relativity don’t exist and are propaganda. The mathematics do not resolve the issues with Newtonian mechanics, supposedly in evidence in areas of high density or gravity, or near to the speed of light. Newtonian physics ably explains the attraction between planets.
Newtonianism does not fully explain why planets are aligned in their orbits given it does not reference the Euler or Coriolis forces. But Newtonian mechanics is simpler, provable and experimentally valid – unlike Relativity. It does empirically explain what we view in real life and in the cosmos. It is based on an aether, and as with the aether, there is no need to overturn it or destroy it with Einstein’s fantasy worlds of made-up maths.
Problem statement: ‘What is the gravitational attraction between Jupiter and the Sun’. Let’s start with a comparison of mass. More here
Niall Ferguson to his credit recognizes the role faith plays in both the development of reason, and of the political-economy and its social-environmental evolution. His comments are worth reading at some length. On page 264 he gets to the crux of the matter as to why the West is better than the Rest [to quote his own depiction]:
“Religions matter. In earlier chapters we saw how the 'stability ethic' of Confucianism played a part in imperial China's failure to develop the kind of competitive institutional framework that promoted innovation in Western Europe....But perhaps the biggest contribution of religion to the history of Western civilization was this. Protestantism made the West not only work, but also save and read. The Industrial Revolution was indeed a product of technological innovation and consumption.”
All true. Though Weber's Protestant read, work and save ethic, is indeed a prime source of European dynamism it must also be said that the Catholic Church saved Europe and should be given joint credit for its rise to dominance. The Roman church developed the economy, fought wars of liberation and defence against Islam [including the Crusades which bought Europe 500 years of time to develop]; stimulated the creation of schools, universities, enquiry and debate; and financed science and art. The balance sheet of the Catholic Church is usually taught as a negative. This is nonsense. Even with the sordid foibles, corruption and inquisitorial nature of the Church, its influence in European development is undeniably positive and decisive.
The 'Great Republic' is a book compiled from many essays which Churchill wrote about America, during his many years in politics. This book was formed and edited by his grandson, Winston S. Churchill who was also for a time, an MP in the British Parliament. The book makes for interesting reading because it covers all of American history, including the Revolution, the Civil War, slavery, America's role in two World Wars, and even the creation of Canada. One of the more interesting chapters is named 'The American Constitution'. It is a good read because it gives the reasons why America, and its key foundational text is so outstandingly unique.
One has to wonder what Churchill would say today of the American government's disregard for this document? What would be his reaction to the destruction of the rules of political engagement which allowed in very large part, the creation of the modern world and of American exceptionalism? The Federal government alone now consumes close to 30% of national income, with ownership of key sectors such as auto manufacturing and banking. One doubts very much, that Churchill would be impressed by the totalitarian pretensions of the unDemocratic or anti-Republican parties.
One of Churchill's strengths in his 66 year long political career, was his defense of both democracy; and of the Constitutional division of powers. He admired the US foundational texts as being unique in human history, and the bedrock of the Republican ideal. The US Constitution was not just an piece of parchment concocted by rich, white men, who owned slaves – but rather the apogee of genius, crafted by highly intelligent men, who were successful in life, and knew how a prosperous and well-functioning nation state should be developed.
“Socialism seeks to pull down wealth; Liberalism seeks to raise up poverty.”
[Churchill May 14 1908, Dundee Hall speech].
This is little book a wonderful and new product for Churchilliana. The publishing firm, General Books, copied a number of Churchill's speeches between 1906 and 1912 using optical character recognition software. These full length reproductions were then turned into a book of some 138 pages. They are a fine compilation on Churchill's vision of 'Liberalism', or the establishment of what some might call welfare-capitalism, which merges aspects of socialism and communal responsibility, with trade, free[ish] markets, and aspects of capitalism.
These speeches formed the ideology and political convictions of Churchill the politician during the social-reforming era of 1906 to 1912. This was when the modern welfare state and its important components was created. Churchill became a minister of power during 2 governments serving as MP for Manchester North-West [1906-8], and Dundee [1908-22]. He entered the Cabinet in 1908 until 1910 as President of the Board of Trade and served as the Home Secretary from 1910 to 1911. These crucial 5 years from 1907 to 1912 were essential to restoring the communal health of Great Britain and the many 'have-nots'. Churchill's speeches make the argument as to why this is so and why a safety net of health, insurance, poor relief, and wage floors is necessary. Conservatives might be shocked but yes we do need a minimum welfare state.
The usual lament is that 'we don't build anything anymore' in advanced economies. This is not true. 15 % of GDP is in manufacturing and if one adds in software and technology development – which is a manufacturing process – the number is 30%. IT accounts for about 15% of US GDP making it the single most important industry. There are three factors about manufacturing which the mainstream media never reports.
Euro, soon to be a Zeuro. Europe has long been infected with the disease which first appeared with some force in the mid 19th century from the revolutionary slogans of 1848 to the mindlessness of Nietzsche's sad little writings which attempted to create 'supermen' out of a culture which was becoming socialist. All people, cultures, ideas and nations are equal. Fairness means everyone is the same. Equality is where all people and states are equally poor and miserable. Any 'gaps' in wealth, productivity, talent or initiative must be 'reduced' by government. If you try hard you are a criminally liable idiot, a threat to the state. Life is a large vacation punctuated by periods of unproductive, unsatisfying labour. The tenets of Christian civilization – rationality, gratitude, humility, hard-work, the reduction of the ego, the Golden Rule – are all relics of superstition and stupidity. Narcissism, self-absorption, 'free' benefits, TV and cults are the coveted idols of sophistication.
When your society is built upon the foundations of Rousseau and modern cultural Marxism it is bound to fail. When a currency is created to 'hide the decline', and allow governments more unfettered access to printed money currency, regulations, taxation, and power, the end is only a matter of time. Of course European 'leaders' now 'demand' a fiscal union. That is after all the whole point of the Euro exercise. Create a monetary disaster which implodes fiscal reality, and then offer 'solutions' which involve more government centralization and unfettered power.
Fiat currencies will disappear at least in their current form. When Nixon abolished the Gold Standard in 1971 he did so for self-interested reasons. He was aping the failed but short term policy of Lincoln during the Civil War – print more money all the time – to fund the war effort. That lasted only 4 years, and the inflationary effects were real but eaten up within 5 years by a rebounding economy, growing large and powerful on a unified Continental sized market. Nixon's feat has endured 40 years with a huge increase in the printing of money aligned with zero interest rates in the past 10 years, guaranteeing some form of future financial destruction. There are laws of economics, and we can't ignore them, though the big brains which run the world often times do.
US debt took off post 1971, when the US dollar was decoupled from the Gold standard.
The ancient Greeks set up the Oracle of Delphi as a temple to Apollo the Sun and Music God. The high priestesses were stoned on Datura leaves and mumbled some nonsense to any who brought a question. They were revealing what the 'Earth Mother' forecast. But like Nostradumuses sayings, much of what these stoned women muttered was completely inane and incomprehensible. No matter. The Delphic cult believed. This is essential. Muslims believe they are the chosen ones destined by the moon deity for an after-life of pleasure and endless sex [at least for Muslim men]. Our new Earth Mother cult has to give the cult members a combination of Delphic surety and Islamic rewards. It must in other words, transcend mere paganism and take on the attributes of a religion. To this end I propose the establishment – with tax money – of Churches in every single urban center, with the name of 'Earth Mother Institute'. Thus they will not look like a 'normal church' and won't be vilified by really smart people or the media. We will teach that by following our cult, your life will be purified, you will be moral, you will be superior, and at some point, because you are 'one with nature', you will be rewarded in both this life and the next.
Climate Change is a mythical problem premised on grand lies and fraud. Witness some real world facts: Co2 Emissions today are at their 2nd lowest level in history.
During the Jurassic Period (200 mya), average CO2 concentrations were about 1800 ppm or about 4.7 times higher than today.
The highest concentrations of CO2 during all of the Paleozoic Era occurred during the Cambrian Period, nearly 7000 ppm -- about 18 times higher than today.
The Carboniferous Period and the Ordovician Period were the only geological periods during the Paleozoic Era when global temperatures were as low as they are today. To the consternation of global warming proponents, the Late Ordovician Period was also an Ice Age while at the same time CO2 concentrations then were nearly 12 times higher than today-- 4400 ppm
Ice Ages are the norm:
“For ninety percent of the last million years, the normal state of the Earth's climate has been an ice age. Ice ages last about 100,000 years, and are punctuated by short periods of warm climate, or inter-glacials. The last ice age started about 114,000 years ago. It began instantaneously. For a hundred-thousand years, temperatures fell and sheets of ice a mile thick grew to envelop much of North America, Europe and Asia. The ice age ended nearly as abruptly as it began. Between about 12,000 and 10,000 years ago, the temperature in Greenland rose more than 50 °F.”
The UN IPCC scam
The fact that Co2 does not cause anything is a scientific fact. The Earth is not a greenhouse and ergo there can be no forcing of water vapour causing global cooling. There are over 1 million impact variables in the earth's convection system. The most common climate is an ice age – a reality completely divorced from Co2 levels or human activity. The sun has more to do with climate patterns than human activity.
No one from the Marxist-Globalist Globaloney Warming cult can explain the creation and the ending of the last ice age. Nor can they posit why Co2 levels which are at their 2nd lowest level in the last 2 million years have any ties to temperature, in spite of local climactic conditions and physical thermodynamics – both of which disprove 'global temperature' as utterly meaningless. The cult can't explain local variations or why the IPCC fraudulent data confirms that the earth is cooling, not warming. IPCC models [26 of them], have proven utterly futile at predicting any real world climate events or temperatures – a fact again left unexplained by the Eco Fascist cult.
Socialist reduction
Socialism always fails. States cannot afford socialized programs. If you deem health care to be a human right than nationalize food, housing, water bottle distribution, and clothing. Health care is no different than any other market. If a socialized system is truly necessary than we should at least have the rational intelligence to allow a functioning market to co-exist in which private insurances, care, and access are subject to price points and supply and demand factors. Not only would that alleviate the stress on state budgets it would improve the morality of the system by both decreasing costs and death rates. The modern dark-age mantra of 'socialism is good' is absurd. Time to move on.
