Tempus Fugit Memento Mori - Time Flies Remember Death
This post is for any who are interested in the claims by NASA that Artemis II, which will be launched on February 6 2026, (though some sources say February 5th), will do a ‘fly by’ of the Moon. This has been promised every year for a decade. We can play with probability numbers and derive different results but in essence, if we apply ‘success probability’ to historical antecedents and the detailed components within the proposed Artemis II flight, we end up with a statistically insignificant probability of success. NASA’s own study from 2025, confirms this.
This admittedly facile analysis is rarely if ever discussed. No one, and no organisation, will deploy into ‘production’ until they are 99%-100% certain that everything has been tested in a simulation environment which imitates the production environment.
Not so with the space-games apparently. The first time these guys try something in the ‘go live’ environment, end-to-end, it succeeds. NASA has never had a manned journey above 400 miles in altitude. Yet they are going to send 4 ‘astronauts’ on a 500.000 mile journey. Sure if you say so.
In 1971 Shepard was playing golf on the moon and just 3 years later in 1974, NASA demised the most powerful rocket yet created – the Saturn V. 1974 is thereby the true and official end of the Apollo program. This is when the rocketry is retired and supposedly, by the 1990s, the plans and designs are lost or destroyed. The core principles of polymorphism and reuse violated.
But now there is ‘Artemis’, a new rocket, new systems, a new capsule (Orion), new fuel, digital technology and a new flight path. Who cares about Apollo Chud? Old news, older technology. So what if NASA destroyed or lost everything? Irrelevant Chud old boy. Move on to Orion and the Moon-bus.
You are told that light speed invariance in a ‘vacuum’ is 186,000 miles per second. No proof of this claim exists. There is no such thing as invariant light speed in a ‘vacuum’.
Vacuums in space, or in nature simply do not exist.
A vacuum is absolute nothingness. No energy, radiation, rays, particles, waves, light or sound would be transferred. In a true medium-based physics, using proper experimentation, different frequencies will return different speeds. The medium or an aether exists, notwithstanding the howls of the ‘science’ Fanboys.
In the real world, in the real universe, there can be no constancy of a light speed within different media of transmissions. Ascribing to space the concept of ‘nothingness’ to make equations balance and to satisfy philosophical-Copernican requirements is anti-science and a fraud. The aether as a medium of transfer obviously exists.
The only debate, never enjoined, is what is the aether’s impact on the Earth’s translational or rotational velocities, and if such impacts can be mechanically and physically proven, and if so, what does that mean in our understanding of this planet and its position within the solar system and universe at large.
The invariance speed of light (along with the Earth’s translational velocity), was comprehensively destroyed in the 19th century from Arago in 1810, to Airy in 1871. It was further eviscerated by Michelson-Morley from 1887-1923, Sagnac in 1913, Dayton Miller from 1920-1935 and many other physicists in the past 100 years. More here
There are many problems with the ISS (international space station) narrative. The ISS is mostly funded by NASA and has consumed more than U$250 billion in the past 30 years. NASA itself has gorged on some U$ 1.5 Trillion since 1958. The ISS will be flown into the Pacific to die and will be replaced by ‘Axiom’ by 2030.
The word ‘Axiom’ means a self-evident, quite obvious truth such as ‘the government is corrupt’. Axioms are used quite freely by ‘The Science’, including Saint Einstein of the Relativity, ‘If we accept the axiom that my first theory is correct….then logically….my 2nd theory is also a law that we should obey, therefore feel free to prostrate yourself in front of my altar in the Church of the Holy Scientism.’
‘Axiom-The-Self-Evident-space station’ will continue the money-looting and laundering. It will provide another platform for more ‘science’ and space propaganda, designed to acclimate the population to space fantasies (a meander to Mars, a venture to Venus) and to distract them from the Apollo fraud.
Supposedly NASA landed and retrieved 12 men from the moon, more than 50 years ago for a similar amount of funding that the ISS has now consumed. These landings were a deceit of course, but even so, the ISS is a major fail and a useless investment. U$500 billion later, and the best NASA can concoct is a couple of large interconnected tubes in near ‘space’ and scores of faked photos and videos. Nice one.
From probability theory in construction integrity, to outright manipulated and false images, photographs and videos; to 0 G planes and the Johnson Space Centre training pool and its ISS replica; we see a dissonance between the claims of the ISS and reality. The ISS may exist in some form, but what they are telling us does not comport to what we see or intuit, using our common sense. More here

Strange (somewhat flattened) Earths (plural)?

The rather flexible ‘blackness of space’ claim
The Lunar photos problem

ISS and Reality which bites
Zero Gravity planes and large swimming pools
Image and Video Fraud
Bottom Line
So what can we conclude when looking at the evidence?
ISS was clearly setup in the late 1990s to buy time, and extract telemetry that should already have existed from the obviously fraudulent 1969-1972 ‘lunar expeditions’.
There is at best, a 36-75% chance of construction success. This means it is probably smaller than we are told.
A ‘Gateway’ to the Moon built on the ISS model will never happen.
ISS cannot be used as a baseline to journey to Mars. The statistical chance of navigating to Mars is less than 1 % (insignificant, next post). The ‘micro gravity effects’ on humans in ISS will have next to no correlation or relevancy for a trip to Mars.
There is little proof that ISS is at 250 miles in altitude.
This is why the images all show great variation.
This is why it needs a constant ‘reboost’.
The US military controls the altitude tracking https://www.space-track.org/, which tracks some 50,000 objects in space. You can fake the ‘tracking’ of anything. Santa Claus is tracked by NORAD. So Santa exists.
Given the rather absurd videos produced for consumption, ISS appears to be the same size as a large 0 Gravity simulator-jet airliner.
There is ample proof of photo and video fraud.
Zero G planes are used.
Harnesses, fake perms, contrived back and front flips.
There are ISS simulators that are used and a full size replica in the Johnson Space Centre swimming pool - why?
Bubbles, snorkels, swimming motions of the actors who are supposedly in ‘space’?
No issues with 280 ‘space-walks’.
The McCandless con has seamlessly morphed into the ISS water-walks.
The vast majority of photos are shot looking at ‘space’.
Space is blacked out of course, no stars or lights, unless you look into the visors of the ‘space walkers’ or out through the port hole of a SpaceX capsule ‘docked’ at the ISS.
How, in a dangerous, dark, cramped, filthy, unhygienic, stressful, low oxygen environment, with the stench of human faeces present in the walls, can all of the astronauts, many in residence for 6-12 months, be so happy, smiley, laughing, and giggling and expostulating that they have the best job in world? This beggars belief.
Verdict: Solomon (wise or not) using his scales would declare ISS, in part, to be a huge theatre production and a gigantic waste of money and time.

Musk said that it would take 9 refuels to reach the Moon. NASA disagrees and predicts 20 for ‘SpaceX’. So again, we know that the Apollo programme was a fraud. There was not a single ‘refuel’ for the entire Apollo 11 ‘mission’ (shot in the Langley Virginia, CIA-NASA simulation centre and at Cannon Air Force Base in New Mexico).
The Apollo program used the Saturn V rocket which weighed
6.5 million pounds or about 2,900 metric tonnes - 90% of the weight was for fuel. It burned 20 tonnes of rocket fuel every second. Most of the fuel would have been gone before they reached ‘space’ - whatever the definition of space might be (officially 62 miles and above is ‘space’). Then there is the return journey.
If Musk is right, the Apollo landings never happened.
We have the Nazi Von Braun’s lament - Apollo 11 could go nowhere without a rocket the size of the Empire State Building. Well, the Saturn V was nowhere close to that height or volume.
The Saturn V rocket did not have enough fuel to go to the Moon and back. It really is as simple as that.
Weight of the Saturn Rocket: ~2,900-3,100 tonnes.
Fuel to Launch, fly to the Moon, Land, Return: 10,000+ tonnes of fuel.
The Deficit: Apollo 11 was short by about 75% of the required fuel.
Fuel is an obvious issue with ‘space’ travel. This is why the entertainment complex and the ‘aliens-true-believers’ are so risible and absurd. As if Chewy and Hans effortlessly zip through the universe with unlimited (magical) supplies of fuel and food.
Maybe the aliens on the dark-side of the moon are getting ready to invade after zooming through trillions of miles of dead-space, using the moon as an ‘observatory’ to observe (from a completely dark area of the moon), our civilisation. What about those Martians or the ‘science-guaranteed-life-forms’ on Venus? Advanced fuel ‘technology’ at the ready for their ‘spaceships’ one assumes. Surely they are preparing an invasion, maybe a pincer attack from both dead planets?
Further as the next post will outline, we have with Space X, ‘Blue Origin’ and the circuses of popular-billionaire-nauting, the continuation of Apollo fraud which proceeds at an excitable canter. From the 1950s until today - a direct red thread and series of patterns, intimating fraud and deceit.
The ISS is a part of this theatre called ‘space’ and the age of Baphomet. More here
The Russians are getting bolder about the Apollo hoax. When Google AI was fed data from a Russian investigation on the Apollo-hoax, including the moon shot photos themselves, it pronounced the moon landings a fake and cinematic legerdemain (Google AI admits the photos were synthetic).
This is Google AI, not Putin AI. As Putin said, the faked moon landings were bread and circuses, pure Hollywood at a time when American boys were being killed and wounded for no purpose whatsover in Vietnamese jungles. The Russians have also stated that the Apollo flights were never tracked outside of NASA, ‘debunking’ another fanboy narrative-claim. NASA controlled and cloaked all communications.
In this vein, we have of course the US Government-NASA funded farce-checkers like Politifact who have ‘debunked’ Vlad the Invader’s claims about the Apollo 11 fraud and what your lying eyes and ears can see and verify. The farce-checkers are sent into action, well-paid of course, to confirm the narrative, reimagine reality and common sense, and call any who dissent a ‘conspiracy theorist’ and lunatic. They never disclose their financial payments or connections.
In reality, Vlad the Invader is disseminating very old news. Hundreds of people worldwide have long concluded that the NASA moon photos are fakes and composites, and the entire Apollo program nothing but a Disney inspired movie. This enrages the fanboys who will die to defend the right of the waving US flag on the lunar surface (a fan or ventilator on a movie-set is making it wave). More here
The 1960s space race con and doing a Capricorn One. All of it faked.
===
Saint John of the Orbit, born John Glenn, was the first American astronaut to ascend into orbit and return (February 1962, more below). Saint John was an important evangeliser and prophet for almost 40 years, disseminating the gospel of space and NASA to heathens and unbelievers. After his missionary endeavour in space, Saint John promulgated the belief in the divine plans of NASA as a US Sentator for over 2 decades.
Saint John of the Orbit prepared the way for the far greater Acts of the 12 Apollo Apostles from 1969 to 1972, led by Saint Neil of the Strong Arm, and Saint Aldrin of the Bottle. Saint John played the role of the Baptist who had cleared the path for the greater works of the Christ, preparing the world for the greater divine missions of the Acts of the Apollo Apostles.
'Capricorn One: 1961 & 1962, Shepard, Grissom, Enos the Chimp and Glenn. Imitating and improving on the Gagarin fraud.'
“One moment I see Africa, another the horizon, another the sky. I had barely enough time to cover myself to protect my eyes from the Sun’s rays. I put my legs to the porthole, but didn’t close the blinds.”
Yuri Gagarin, after his ‘flight’, trying to remember what he saw from a spinning, whirling, gyrating can, travelling at 17,000 mph for almost 2 hours. Blinded by the Sun, comrade Yuri piloted an out of control cannon ball to a landing zone near his parachute training base in Saratov Russia. What a hero. Herculean. You go Yuri.
The current forever war with Russia started right after World War II. A main theatre of this ‘war’ has been in ‘the Science’ and Technology domains. The system, ‘Capitalist’ or ‘Communist’, which could evidence its scientific and technological superiority could claim ‘victory’ in the state’s secular objective of total-rule over all aspects of society. A technocracy, based on ‘the Science’, buttressed by its supposed offspring technology (the relationship is exactly the opposite), would confer domination to the winner. So slithers ‘Western Civilisation’ into Totalitarian dysfunction and dystopia.
The famous ‘space-race’ was itself a massive con of course, manufactured by both the Russians and the Americans and this domain became a ‘front’ within the ‘Cold War’ which should simply be relabelled the ‘forever war’ between the US and Russia. The ‘forever war’ is getting ever closer to a ‘hot war’ and potentially a nuclear exchange. [Side note: Few if any ‘democrats’ or ‘liberals’ seem troubled by the spectre of nuclear carnage and destruction. For these ‘enlightened’ acolytes of ‘the Science’ destroying the Russkies is uber alles (‘Remember Carthage’, as Cato the Elder supposedly intoned in the Roman Senate after every one of his speeches)].
It could appear to be somewhat odd that the Russians are at the very heart of the space-race-con and the lucrative NASA-money laundering enterprise. Chalk and cheese it may appear, but both sides benefit. It is in some ways a natural partnership between the Russkies and Americans in ‘space’. Always has been thus. More here
“A new man appears abruptly, the ‘suddenly famous Doctor Einstein.’ He carries the message of a new order in the universe. He is a new Moses come down from the mountain to bring the law and a new Joshua controlling the motion of heavenly bodies….The new man who appears at that time represents order and power. He becomes the…divine man, of the twentieth century.”
Einstein hagiographer, Abraham Pais, Subtle is the Lord, 1982, 2005, p. 311.
From the Book of Relativity:
“We witnessed these things. The last prophet, ‘The Einstein’, appeared on Mount Science, clutching his tablets bearing arcane maths. The multitudes below applauded the new divinely ordained law. Clouds were dispersed, light shone, hope and reason flooded the world. Einstein glittering in white robes was transfigured, a dove resting on his shoulder. To the great crowd he sermonised on the new-universal order. The food of ‘science’ magically appeared in baskets and fed the starving masses. Miracles were seen. Many people converted that day. Levites were organized and sent out to manage the tribes. The cult of ‘The Science’ was born. The prophet was venerated; the truth was preached. I, the disciple whom the prophet loved, was there that day.” (Book of Relativity, Chapter 2, verses 1-5)
So modern Scientistic gospel informs us.
All of it is bunk and scientific junk. Let us recount just some obvious blunders from the Jewish philosopher, handsomely rewarded by the ‘system’ including the Rothschilds amongst others, for his philosophical mathematics, which are physically unproven and irrelevant. The 2 greatest frauds are the merger of ‘spacetime’ and the invariance of light speed, the glittering scum on the polluted pond of modern ‘rationality’. They are 2 of many.
Einstein’s mission of ‘fixing Newton’ failed as outlined on many posts here and also below.
We know that light speed invariance is wrong. Einstein knew it as well. Once that foundation is removed from Relativity, not much remains. More here
“Too often students believe that Moses, or rather Newton or Einstein, came down from a physical Mt. Sinai with his laws engraved on tablets of stone.”
(Ronald Newburgh, “Inertial forces, absolute space, and Mach’s principle: The genesis of relativity,” American Journal of Physics, 75(5), May 2007, p. 427).
Yes Ronald. Not from Mount Sinai, but rather from Mount ‘The Science’.
We have discussed the fundamental importance of the invariance of light speed for modern cosmology and astrophysics. The ‘unchanging’ velocity of light is prophesied to be rather precisely, 186.000 miles per second. This is wrong as many posts have outlined. Literally tens of thousands of experiments have disproven this gnostic dogma, including the famous Michelson-Morley light interference observations of 1887, Sagnac in 1913, and Dayton Miller during the 1920s and 30s. This is never taught.
Ironically, the standard model of ‘The Science’ already admits that light speed is variable.
The Big Bang creation event assumes a light speed more than a trillion billion times faster than the current invariant calculation. The fraud of the merged space-time dimension ineluctably leads to a variation in light speed given the dynamics of gravitational waves and attractions within this merged dimension. In other words, the tautological calculus of Einstein, hangs his own theory, by its own petard.
As usual, ‘The Science’ is all over the place like a drunken Irishman on a Friday night in Dublin. More here
“...the quasars in the 57 groups...are arranged on 57 spherical shells with the Earth as the center. The cosmological interpretation of the redshift in the spectra of quasars leads to yet another paradoxical result: namely, that the Earth is the center of the universe.”
(Y.P. Varshni, astronomer, in, The Red Shift Hypothesis for Quasars: Is the Earth the Center of the Universe?” Astrophysics and Space Science, 43: (1), (1976), p. 3)
Quasars have always been a problem for the Big Bang theology. As Varshni stated, quasar phenomena support geocentricity. Few know about Varshni or quasar data. Gamma rays also present the same problem for the Bangers. This planet sits in a protective void. I am sure you were taught this at ‘school’.
In the 1960s radio telescopes were deployed and found traces of radio wave transmission from outside our solar system. Optical telescopes were then built and pointed in the direction of these radio waves. The optical scopes found faint points of light, which were named ‘quasi-stellar radio sources’, or ‘quasars’. It was a fascinating discovery. More here
“The gyroscope is rotationally at rest relative to the inertial frames in its neighborhood. It and the local inertial frames rotate relative to the distant galaxies with the angular velocity Ω because the Earth’s rotation “drags” the local inertial frames along with it.
Notice that near the north and south poles the local inertial frames rotate in the same direction as the Earth does (Ω parallel to J), but near the equator they rotate in the opposite direction (Ω antiparallel to J; compare Ω with the magnetic field of the Earth!).” (Martin Selbrede, “Geocentricity’s Critics Refuse to Do Their Homework,” The Chalcedon Report, 1994, p. 11)
We have discussed how geocentricity could be valid. The above quote opens another door to this possibility – fluid dynamics. Relativity is false, but even using their own theorems, there is nothing within Relativity which precludes geocentricity. Indeed, ‘The’ Einstein’s scientism is more supportive of geocentricity than heliocentricity.
Let’s have a gander at fluid dynamics and the use of General Relativity.
First, we must understand that space is not a ‘vacuum’, it is not empty, but is suffused with materiality, which in previous centuries was named the ‘aether’. This substack has many posts on why the aether exists and how this (yet again) disproves the Einstotle’s philosophy.
Second, if we view Tychonism or geocentricity, this aether medium is carried with the universe as it rotates around the Earth. What we don’t know is if this aether ‘drags’ on the Earth’s surface and forces the Earth to rotate. As other posts have outlined, the answer could be no.
Relativists themselves do not believe in an aether (aether-denialism) and thereby do not support the forced rotation of this planet by such forces. We can now use this precept to see if geocentricity is possible. More here
“…it is permissible to assume that the Earth is a nonrotating frame of reference. From this point of view, the stars will have a circular velocity around the Earth that is much greater than the speed of light. A star only ten light-years away has a relative velocity around the Earth of twenty thousand times the speed of light (Martin Gardner, Relativity Explosion, 1976, p. 68)
Martin is right but wrong. He assumes, like most Relativists, that the stars would need to move at faster than light speed around an immobile Earth. This is incorrect and is dealt with below. He is right in that it is physically and scientifically possible for a geocentric model to be valid. He is also right that light speed is variant, again destroying the dogma of Einstein’s cult. If light speed is variant - and it is - Relativity is rubbished and the Bang of the Biggest invalidated.
We have discussed in previous posts how the universe could move around an immobile Earth, or Newton’s central point of inertia. There are common sense questions and objections to the idea of a rotating universe, but nothing in mainstream science, including the tortured, flayed maths of Einstein’s cult, can deny the possibility. This is rarely discussed. Paradigms, money, degrees, prestige and all that. More here
“...Meanwhile, NASA scientists calculated that the redistribution of mass by the earthquake might have shortened the day by a couple of millionths of a second and tilted the Earth’s axis slightly.
On a larger scale, the unbuckling and shifting moved the planet’s mass, on average, closer to its center, and just as a figure skater who spins faster when drawing the arms closer, the Earth’s rotation speeds up. Richard S. Gross, a scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, calculated that the length of the day was shortened by 1.8 millionths of a second.” (Quake Moves Japan Closer to U.S. and Alters Earth’s Spin,” Kenneth Chang, March 13, 2011, in NYT)
The above story is repeated every year. Rinse, repeat. Invariably, when major earthquakes or tsunamis occur we are inundated with mainstream ‘science’ articles declaring that the Earth, as a result of the force coming from these catastrophes, was slowed in its rotation rate and/or its axis moved (Gross, Chao, 2006). The rotation rate is said to change by microseconds and the axial tilt by inches after significant earthquakes or colossal tsunamis are experienced (Fodor, 2019).
If the land masses are moved toward the centre there is an increase in rotation. If they are dispersed there would be a decrease in rotational rate (the figure skater analogy).
In general, ‘the science’ believes that given the Earth’s rotation any terrestrial event will affect the velocity of the rotation, impact the gravitational field and shift the poles (Dahlen, 1971 and ‘Dahlen’s theory’). This is very curious indeed, given the supposed 4 billion (soon trillion?) years of this planets existence. Such dislocations would lead to catastrophe.
If the above is true, just based on what we know about earthquakes and other seismic-terrestrial impacts, there would be no life on this planet given the massive shifts and catastrophic changes which would ensue.
We discussed previously why Copernicanism has a problem with planetary rotations over endless ages. In the past decade, Venus’ rotation, which spins the wrong way, has supposedly slowed down by 6-10 minutes just in the past decade. Mars for some reason is rotating faster. If the same was applied to our Earth, all life here would end.
What has caused Venus’ ice-skater-pirouette to slow down, or Mars to perhaps speed up? Does Mars suffer from Mars-quakes? No one knows. ‘The science’ maintains that space is simply a void and absent of energy or material (of course not, the aether exists, though it is denied by the standard model). So what causes rotational speed variation?
Let’s break out the calculators and move the IQ needle back to common sense. Let’s put away the models and word salads. We can add up all the earthquakes occurring on an annual basis and go back in time to assess the overall impact. More here
Saint Albert of the Relativity:
“To begin with it followed from observations of the Sun that the apparent path of the Sun against the background of the fixed stars differed in speed at different times of the year.” (Albert Einstein, Ideas and Opinions, p. 263)
Saint Albert writes about a fixed absolute background and space which is anathema to Relativity where no absolutes exist. He also mentions variations in the Sun’s speed and movement. What causes these? Saint Albert declined to provide answers. The explanations for both will depend on your world-view.
We are told the Sun imitates the angry, one legged man, jumping ‘up and down’ within our solar system and taking 230 million years to orbit the centre of the milky way. To say that this is conjecture proferred as ‘fact’ is only to refer to the usual array of scientistic propaganda. If the Sun can gyrate up and down, and move around the milky way centre (which is of course a ‘massive black hole’ called Sagittarius A), could it orbit the Earth?
Or to frame it differently; does the Earth’s apparent elliptical movement around the Sun prove heliocentricity? Or can the same apparent elliptical orbit be applied to the Sun around the Earth?
It depends on how you view the distance traveled and velocity of the planets. Let’s consider the geocentric model and the Tychonic framework (the mixed Copernican-geocentric model). 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.
