Winter Olympics oder Oliver Stone für jeden?

Oliver Stone: Untold Hostory of the United States
Oliver Stone: Untold Hostory of the United States

Heute habe ich die letzte Folge von Oliver Stones Serie «The Untold History of the United States» (Die Geschichte Amerikas) gesehen. Nicht über alle Zweifel erhaben (aber über viele), zugegebenermassen, fand ich das gesamte Werk doch sehr erhellend. Und verstörend. Auch erheblich verärgernd, wenn man das globale Desaster so konzentriert vor Augen geführt bekommt.

Als dann danach in den News eine Beiläufige Erwähnung, dass Russland für die Olympischen Winterspiele 2013 läppische 37.5 Milliarden (uh, warens $ oder €? Sei’s drum…) ausgibt.

Deshalb überlege ich mir, eine Initiative zu starten: Investieren wir einen Haufen Plastik und die Kosten der nächsten Olympischen Spiele und schenken jedem Erdling die komplette Ausgabe. In der Auflagenhöhe sollte das für 5 Kröten doch machbar sein.

Wahrscheinlich würde eine Ausgabe für nur jeden zweiten Erdling reichen, um die Achse des Bösen in den Köpfen nachhaltig umzupolen. >:)

Wie auch immer, im Lichte einer provokativen Perspektive der öffentlichen, amerikanischen Meinung betrachtet eine wirklich empfehlenswerte und gut gemachte Arbeit von Oliver Stone; interessant ist auch eine unglaubliche Konstanz, mit der die Scheisse im Weissen Haus quillt. Die Doku weisst auch darauf hin. Ein unverbesserlicher Verschwörungstheoretiker, wer meint, irgendwelche Interessengruppen könnten spinnenhaft ihre Fäden ziehen – ein Schlauer (gross geschrieben), wer erkennt, dass man sie gar nicht kennen kann. Die, wo man’s vermutet, sind’s bestimmt nicht – was wär’s für ein lausiger Trug. Auch wenn, nebenher geflüstert, sich die Bauern im Spiel wirklich keine Mühe mehr zu machen scheinen mit dem Verschleiern. Ganz gemäss dem Informationszeitalter: Sag die Wahrheit – es hört eh keiner mehr hin, wenn’s nicht um tausend vergaste Tote, Geschlechtszeile oder Welpen geht. Wenn’s tatsächlich um tausend Tote oder dein Geschlechtsteil gehen sollte, has’te schlecht wohl gepokert. Oder du bist die arme Sau, die den Kopf hinhalten muss.

Die Doku auf Wikipedia, Huffington Post, the Guardian und in der Zeit. Auch sehr empfehlenswert in diesem Zusammenhang, wer es lieber mit Popcorn-Feeling mag: Syriana.

@NSA: Falls Erdlinge nach dem Gucken dieser Doku auf meine nachgewiesene Empfehlung hin bei Al Kaida anwerben, heisst das lange nicht, dass ich letztere Unterstütze. I’m a «Peacemaker». Bitte schreibt das in meine Akte, auch wenn ihr das Wort nicht kennt. Danke.

@all: Wenn ein Buch eine Lektüre ist, dann ist eine DVD eine Turbitüre? Also keine zum leken, sondern, zeitgemäss, eine, die berührungslos turbischnell schliesst, Ob sie ebenso schnell aufgeht, liegt wahrscheinlich eher am Auge des Betrachters beziehungsweise dem hoffentlich nachgelagerten Denkorgan. Oder nicht?

Ein paar ältere meiner Ideen zum Sport, konkret, um Fussball wieder interessant zu machen.

Und, irgendwie, mochte ich das Wort «Erdlinge» hier zu benutzen, weil «Erdenbürger» mir etwas zu hoch gegriffen scheint, um es dermassen zu generalisieren – «Erdenwürger» etwas zu despektierlich wiederum, dermassen zu verallgemeinern. Erdlinge fand ich einen politisch korrekten Kompromiss für sich selbst erkennen werdenden Sternenstaub.

«Forbes» beziffert Geld-Staubsauger: Wo bleibt die Revolution?

Heute geht’s einmal mehr durch die Presse und ich vermute, dass auch jene, die es gar nicht wissen wollen, nicht umhin kommen, es zu erfahren. Zitat:

American Dollar
American Dollar

«Fünf Jahre nach dem Hochkochen der Finanzkrise geht es den US-Milliardären so prächtig wie nie. Das US-Magazin „Forbes“ schätzt das Gesamtvermögen der 400 reichsten US-Amerikaner auf den Rekordwert von 2 Billionen Dollar.

Das seien 300 Milliarden Dollar mehr als im Vorjahr und mehr als doppelt so viel wie vor zehn Jahren, …

Die Superreichen profitieren allgemein vom guten Lauf an den Börsen, die dank der Geldflut der Notenbanken auf immer neue Höchststände klettern, während Sparer kaum noch Zinsen für ihre Einlagen bekommen.

… Nur 30 der Superreichen auf der diesjährigen Liste hätten heute weniger Vermögen als vor einem Jahr, schrieb „Forbes“. 15 weitere seien nach einem Schrumpfen ihres Vermögens ausgeschieden. (sda)»

Die Geld-Staubsauger nuckeln im ganz grossen Stil weiterhin der Basis das mühsam Erarbeitete aus den Taschen. Und ich bin überzeugt, dass 99.9% zu denen mit den Einlagen gehören.

Korrigiert mich, aber es muss doch so sein, dass wir entweder eine R(evol)ution haben müssen oder aber kaum wer noch denken kann. Beides trifft nicht zu, also muss uns etwas vom denken abhalten, oder nicht?

Wer böse ist, kann jetzt behaupten, es wäre der Glaube (Glaube wie in Religion) an das Eigentum selbst und Profit als geistiges Konzept, der uns derartig verwirrt, dass wir glauben, der Zustand derart totaler Fiesheit wäre die natürlichste Sache der Welt. Ist sie aber ganz und gar nicht, und ich bin böse. Sehr, sehr böse!

(Ja, mir ist bewusst, dass die gesamte Sache um vieles Komplexer ist und der oben hergestellte Zusammenhang in dieser Form gar nicht wirklich existieren mag. Aber falsch ist es auch nicht und wie gesagt bin ich sehr, sehr böse.)

Was «Prism» mit einer «Schmutzigen Bombe» zu tun hat

Prisma teilt Licht
Prisma (Oliver Haja/pixelio.de)

Nach Prism ist nun ja eine riese Protestwelle für die Freiheit im Internet am anlaufen, z.B. hier von Mozilla (Firefox Browser): optin.stopwatching.us

Und mich beschleicht langsam der Gedanke, dass umso mehr öffentlicher Widerstand sich global gegen wuchernde Überwachungsmethoden regt, desto näher kommen wir dem ersten «Terror»-Anschlag mit einer richtig grossen Schmutzigen Bombe.

Mit was liesse sich denn sonst noch einer global erstarkten Bürgerrechtsbewegung und ihrem Verlangen nach zuverlässigem Datenschutz den Wind aus den Segeln nehmen? Mit was könnte man sonst noch 9/11 übertreffen, um wieder für neue alte Ängste zu sorgen? Am besten im Herzen Europa, das liesse den Atlantikgraben wieder einiges kleiner werden.

Der perfekte Moment wäre wohl gewählt, wenn der Amerikanische Kongress und das Europäische Parlament unter dem öffentlichen Druck einzuknicken und dem Kurs der Datenschützer zu folgen beginnen. Lassen wir uns überraschen – ausser Petitionen zu verbreiten/unterschreiben und Auflärungsarbeit leisten können wir ja nicht viel mehr tun.

Oder hat jemand andere Ideen? Z.B. dass jeder in seiner eMail-Signatur statt «Sent from my iPhone» eben «Terror, Bombe, Schmutzige Bombe, Al Quaida, Osama Bin Laden, Anschlag, etc» stehen hat? Die Folge wäre das erste Prisma mit Verstopfung! 🙂

Peace!

Be Aware: Firestorm ahead!

Firestorm ahead!
Firestorm ahead! (pixelio.de)

Who is responsible for the ignition? What would the threshold be? 50.1% of all people so the New Human Evolution takes place? I hope for a critical mass of around 30%. We need a heartily quantum jump in the next few years or we will have destroyed our spaceship before our intelligence could spread into the universe. Yes, the intelligence is still in its very development, but hey! I wanna be reborn in 2.5 billion years and see the Andromeda galaxy in the night sky… :dance:

So again: Who is responsible for the ignition? I’m burning already but I may need a little help from my friends too…

Überblick zur Klimakriese und den Klimakriegern 2012

In der Zeit fand ich einen guten Artikel, der die monetären Hingergründe der «Klimakrieger» recherchiert: «Wie von der Industrie bezahlte PR-Manager der Welt seit Jahren einreden, die Erderwärmung finde nicht statt. Chronologie einer organisierten Lüge.» Sehr lesenswerter Beitrag auch zum Thema Mediokratie.

Stefan Rahmstorf betreibt auf den SciLogs den Blog «KlimaLounge – Nah dran am Wandel». Im Blogbeitrag «Am Puls der Klimakriese» geht es um «die grundlegenden Daten und Belege zur aktuellen globalen Erwärmung, zur Zunahme von Wetterextremen und zum Anstieg des Meeresspiegels. Der Vortrag spannt einen Bogen von den Eiszeiten bis zu der Frage, wie wir die Klimakrise bewältigen können.»

Der Video-Mitschnit des Vortrags liefert einen guten Überblick zur aktuellen Datenlage und die Kommentare scheinen sich auch interessant zu entwickeln.

Chemtrails Reality Check: A few Calculations

I always quarreled with the conception of chemtrails, so I finally made myself some calculations about a stuff X mixed into kerosene. To make a long story short, the calculations are (1) somewhat imprecise, as only a few variables are included, but (2) the result is in a range, where the conspiracy theory would maybe be plausible if the concentration of X would be some ten billion (109) times higher. Please play with the spread sheet (see below), correct my calculations if you find some mistakes, or calculate on your own. In any case, please share your results!

Chemtrails
Chemtrails?? (Peter Freitag)

Basic thoughts, assumptions, variables, constants

Let’s start with the assumptions: There is a stuff X in the (estimated per 2015) 300’000’000 tons kerosene. Say it is one percent, that’s about 3’000’000 tons. That’s 3 mio liters at a specific weight of 1, that’s about 10 supertankers. It must be produced, distributed and transported, mixed with the kerosene, etc. Refineries are placed all over the world, about 700 (2006). Not an easy task to keep the constant, even distribution and all secret all the time. Ok, say «they» can fix that.

So let’s make some serious calculations. In this spread sheet (v1.4, Google Docs, Excel, Libre Office) we calculate the amount of molecules of X our lungs would absorb per hour (Make your input on the input sheet of the workbook.). To calculate this I set the following variables:

  1. We take an air layer with the height of where the big planes fly.
  2. We take a distribution area defined as part of the earth surface to meet higher contamination in urban areas.
  3. We distribute all X even in the resulting amount of km3 air. The amount of X is a percentage of kerosene, used per year.
  4. We give X a life cycle in days and break it down into a contamination per hour.
  5. We give X a molecular size where 1 equals H2O (18 mol).
  6. Finally we have an X-absorption rate of the lungs.

The constants are on the right in the spread sheet, the variables can be entered in the green fields. As a comparing size I chose potassium cyanide (German: Zyankali), because it is one of the most bad poisons. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has a Maximum Contaminant Level (MCL) of 0.2 mg cyanide (9.419 cyanide molecules) per liter drinking water. 140 mg are deadly: At maximum contaminant level one needs to drink 700 liter water do die.

Please play around with the sheet and find the mistakes, I’m no scientist!

Scenario 1

Chemtrails Chart v1.3
Chemtrails Chart v1.3. If the chart where linear, the KCN-column would be as high as 3.6 light-minutes,

So let’s start with a good scenario: Take an average aircraft altitude of 2000 m. Say that there is no kerosine but 100% X in all aircraft tanks (about 1000 supertankers a year). Take an active life cycle of 180 days, a molecule size of 18 mol (H2O, pretty small). A land factor of 0.2, which is only the land surface of earth. And we assume that lungs absorb 100 % of X in the inhaled air. That results in a pollution of 0.000’000’000’9 milliliter X per dm3 (1 liter) air. Or 9-10 milliliter, or 0.0009 nanoliter.

Or 1.2717 molecules of X!

This sounds like pretty lot of stuff. But one has to be aware that the deadly dose of potassium cyanide (KCN, 140 mg) is about 6.622 molecules (66’063’000’000’000’000’000’000). We need to breathe 60 years in scenario 1 to get the the same amount of molecules like 140 mg potassium cyanide.

We reach a concentration of 313 molecules of X per liter air per hour and still miss the above max. EPA contaminant level by 3’000’000 times in this not very realistic scenario. Breathe one month to collect the 0.2 mg KCN.

Scenario 4

Let’s take a more realistic approack: Assume that planes fly with kerosene and take an average flight high of 7000 m. Let’s take an amount of 0.6 of the earth surface to meet the higher concentration in urban areas. Say there is 0.5 % of X in kerosene. Let’s assume X is active over 15 days. This results in in a concentration of 0.87 ml/km3 air. 8.75-13 ml per liter air (0.000’000’000’000’875). This equals in 25.39 (billion) molecules (25’276’000’000) absorbed by your lounges per hour at a 5-percent-rate, same like oxygen.

We need to breath 298 million years in this scenario 4 to get the deadly dose of KCN. Or 426’000 years to meet the EPA maximum pollution. With the above 25.3 billion molecules of X we miss the EPA MCL about 1010 times.

Scenario 2 & 3

are somewhat in between, just to make the world go around. But changing variables don’t make a big deal…

Conclusion

No, not really, I guess, no chemtrails, not with human technology. No extraordinary fun for «them». A poisoning over 60 years would be imaginable, but planes don’t fly with X alone. Realistic variables give results way behind human life cycle.

One could argue with kind of alien technology, alien-X or something. But no, I don’t think so. «They» do have nothing aliens could want for trade. And why should aliens collaborate with «them»? Because «them» are floppy protein bags? Besides this is not the focus of this blog.

«They» want control, true, but I believe the «chineese way» or the «high-finance and depth way» is far more efficient than chemtrails with alien technology, «they» don’t need chemtrails to control anything, besides that chemtrails seem not to work.

Or probably there are homeopaths by the CIA who mix up about 3’000’000 tons of X every year? Say 3’000 CIA-agents, everyone shaking 2.7 liters X per day without weekends nor holydays. The Central Shaking Agency! Possible, yes, but I guess… no.

I’m a searcher, so please tell me my mistakes – and please in numbers. Have fun and regularly check your believes! 🙂

NASA video: Milkyway collides with Andromeda Galaxy

Wow, her comes another brain teaser for meditation. Evolution in cosmic scale, watch the timeline.

 

(Original video, Soundtrack: Bolero, Zappa style)

Wikipedia says: «In 2012, researchers came to conclusion that it is a definite hit after using the Hubble Space Telescope between 2002 and 2010 to painstakingly track the motion of Andromeda. Such collisions are relatively common. Andromeda, for example, is believed to have collided with at least one other galaxy in the past, and several dwarf galaxies such as SagDEG are currently colliding with the Milky Way and being merged into it.»

This is the reason I want mankind to survive: In 3.75 billion years I want to be reborn to meditate under the nightsky, as it is shown in the third picture below. If you don’t let me do that, I will hate you. And I will appear in your every nights nightmare and badge you like you can’t imagine! Seriously! You don’t want to risk that! Let me have a nice body in the far future – so take care of our environment and your genes. :rant:

Nightskies – Andromeda collides with the milkyway. Click for brief description.
Nightskies – Andromeda collides with the milkyway. Click for brief description.

For the nightsky in the fifth pic we will need to emigrate on another planet, cause sweet home Alabama is gonna be burned by the sun in 5 billion years. Just imagine where mankind will have evolved: That is more than the time live is old on earth now! I don’t mind short legs and green skin as long I still gonna be having eyes and a back to lie on the grass. :mrgreen:

Trilok Gurtu Quartet at Jazz Festival Basel

Trilok Gurtu at work
Trilok Gurtu at work (Jos L Knaepen)

Wow. Wow!! Wow… I’m happy again. It’s a some time since the last matching concert. There were peaces with 3½ beats, 4½, 10 (4-3-3), slow 7 beats – actually, I don’t remember 4 beats. 🙂 Oh, I feel good. I didn’t know one can dance 3½ beats so easy.

As for Trilok Gurtus sidemen, Johann Berby made a solid bass, Roland Cabezas added many colors on guitar, but Carlo Cantini made the music with synth and violin. All working for the music first hand, then for Trilok. Outstanding! Do not miss it if you got the chance!

Israel and Iran love each other!

(at least the 99% over there)

Revolution

This is Ronny, and on his Facebook page he wrote (or israelovesiran.com):

Israel loves Iran
Israel loves Iran

«To the Iranian people, to all the fathers, mothers, children, brothers and sisters

For there to be a war between us, first we must be afraid of each other, we must hate. I’m not afraid of you, I don’t hate you. I don t even know you. No Iranian ever did me no harm. I never even met an Iranian. Just one in Paris in a museum. Nice dude.

I see sometime here, on the TV, an Iranian. He is talking about war. I’m sure he does not represent all the people of Iran. If you see someone on your TV talking about bombing you – be sure he does not represent all of us.

I’m not an official representative of my country. I m a father and a teacher. I know the streets of my town, I talk with my neighbors, my family, my students, my friends and in the name of all these people, we love you. We mean you no harm. On the contrary, we want to meet, have some coffee and talk about sports.

To all those who feel the same, share this message and help it reach the Iranian people. Ronny, tel aviv»

48 hours after Ronny posted the page (March 19th) he got answers from Iranians. As I write this (March 24th), he got over 30’500 likes. Here it is another campaign with over 6500 likes already:

Peace fingers
Peace fingers

Wow! I love to imagine how revolution spreads to Iran (again), from the Arabs to the Jews, finally to the christian and hindu world. All ending in one big r-evol-ution. Has it really started, the myth of 2012? The Change? Is evolution to bring mind on a new level? Families to unite over interreligious borders? Bringing peace to the Middle East? Nationalism is dead. It has to be!

Yes, back from the first outdoor session this year. Yay! Inspiration lead to a minor scale with the major 6th as the main note, playing downwards to the 5th, upwards to the 4th. For a basic concept. Kind of melancholic romance.

It’s still to cold to play fast, but nice to play beautiful. 🙂

Experience the Scale of the Universe with all senses – or finding God

The Scale of the Universe: Full Micro
Microscale of the Universe
The Scale of the Universe: Macro
Macroscale of the Universe

(…especially the ones they say we haven’t got)

Some years ago I posted an old movie clip «The Power of Ten». If you haven’t seen this, I suggest to do that – it takes some minutes and will leave you astonished for some days. It starts showing a square meter, then zooms out to the edge of the universe, goes back and zooms in to the quarks.

This small Flash-App «Scale of the Universe» is something similar, based on actual science data. The design looks a bit like a Power Point presentation – but hey, this is about science, not art. 🙂

Just thinking about that light would need seven times longer to cross the estimated size of the universe (93 billion lightyears) at light speed than it is old (13.4 billion yars that is) – makes me … aware. Astonished.

They say human minds cannot apprehend such dimensions. I’m not sure. Start thinking about the last year of your life, how much time it was; about 10 years of you like; your whole lifetime; how many of your ancestors lived  in the last 1’000 years?; the technical progress in the last 10’000 years; 50’000 years ago modern humans started colonizing the continents; anatomically modern humans appearing in Africa 200’000 years ago – how many descendants will you have in the year 202’012? Visualize your whole lifetime; 1’500’000 years ago were the first simple huts; 2’400’000 years ago appearance of the homo genus – imagine the winters: no food and it’s damn cold – they needed to wait for about 2’394’500 years for sewerage; modern-type butterflies appeared 40 mio years ago. Take your time, repeat, imagine the years.

Now watch the clip «650 million years in 120 seconds», it’s about plate tectonics and starts 400 mio years ago. Try to watch your place on earth while you think about the points above. If you do it right, your mind starts to screw – so switch it of. But let your brain whirl, while dimensions clear away. You need to bear and hold that whirling to go on. Take your time, repeat.

Life on Earth Graph
Life on Earth Graph

Now think of the globe, how she is born, how mother sun gets her most intelligent child. It’s 9 billion years after Big Bang – 4.5 billion years later the mid-aged earth will have the humans, an itching pest (see the joke). You are something like a gut bacteria that goes cancering its host. Not more, but not less. Life exists today since 3’800’000’000 years. Will your descendants be able to colonize a new planet when our sun becomes a supernova in 6 billion years? How many lover’s griefs will have been till then? How many agony over all, if you will pile it up then, for all civilisations? And on all planets in all galaxies? And, why? Take your time, repeat.

From today, go back three earth lifetimes to the big bang. Imagine the bang. Room gets created, a bubble. The physical laws get created. Matter gets created. The bubble expands. It accelerates its expansion. Today, you need to travel 20 times the age of earth at light speed to cross the estimated size of the universe. Do some travelling through space, try to find the milkyway, the sun, while staying aware of the whole. Do some travelling through time, watch the birth and evolution of all life on earth, while staying aware of your lifetime! That’s what I call a cool makro-meditation!

:oldman:

Did you arrive without going schizo? Did you find God? Where is she? Not so much out there I guess, but more in there. Science is about what it is, mysticism about how it feels. Macro- and microcosmos is not the same, but feels like the same. Science and mysticism are like your hands: They are the same, but are not. I’m sure we all can apprehend such dimensions, and many more. Just keep on practicing! Master the quanta. Let me know of your mikro-meditation, that’s not my favorite terrain. 😉
