SLS is GOING!
Rocket jesus is slowly spiraling toward disaster. From a recent Time Magazine article: “Musk admitted to his biographer Ashlee Vance that Hyperloop was all about trying to get legislators to cancel plans for high-speed rail in California—even though he had no plans to build it.” “In crafting his future visions, Musk draws on the libertarianContinue reading “SLS is GOING!”
Hiroshima Day 2022
77 years ago we nuked Japan. On a show I really like, Amanpour and Company, a recent episode tried to argue, on this very liberal program, that dropping the bomb was necessary to force Japan to surrender. Which greatly disappointed me. I had thought that issue had been decided years ago by works examining JapaneseContinue reading “Hiroshima Day 2022”
Too Bitter to Contemplate
Listening to On Point and an interview with co-authors on a book about democracy. One of them talked about Trump as “the great persuader” and it was very enlightening. He ended by saying that this sub-literate whose only guide is Hitler’s speeches could be the greatest persuader in history is too bitter to contemplate. AmericansContinue reading “Too Bitter to Contemplate”
SLS Comments
The Musk fanboys never, NEVER, acknowledge anything except the myth of Musk. So of course they are “satisfied” with their wonderful Ayn-Rand-in-space fantasy. The truth is this; backroom deals and political influence are the reason spacex exists. Spacex employees generally despise Musk for the nutcase he is. An expendable rocket would do the same thingContinue reading “SLS Comments”
People, State, Mob
“-An all-white planet achieved through profound violence and assymetric warfare.” She nailed that one…crystal clear. They all fantasize about “the day of the rope.” “I think that it is difficult to be too worried about this at present. In my view there are two major dangers posed to everyone in the United States right nowContinue reading “People, State, Mob”
Taxes are “The Secret”
Quoted excerpt by David Klepper AP “Daniel Charles Wilson believes the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, were an inside job. The war in Ukraine is “totally scripted” and COVID-19 is “completely fake.” The Boston Marathon bombing? Mass shootings in Newtown, Connecticut, and Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas? “Crisis actors,” he says. Wilson, a 41-year-oldContinue reading “Taxes are “The Secret””
The Question Now
Opinion by Chauncey DeVega writing for Salon (Abridged): As documented by historian Nancy MacLean in her book “Democracy in Chains,” the leaders of today’s “conservative” movement have utter disdain for democracy, the Constitution, human rights, human freedom, the common good and the rule of law. This anti-democracy movement also wants to impose a type of Christian fascistContinue reading “The Question Now”
Atomized and Degraded
Back in 2013 Chomsky talked about jobs being the critical issue to the population yet ignored by powers that be. Plenty of work to be done but not enough profit to make it worth the while of the ultra-rich. We are kept “atomized” to keep us from interfering. 99 out of 100 have never heardContinue reading “Atomized and Degraded”
Hydrogen Hatred and Dinosaurs
Projected Increase in Space Travel May Damage Ozone Layer The propellant mix that produces water; hydrogen and oxygen, is most hated by NewSpace. The automatic demonization of hydrogen whenever mentioned goes back to the hobby rocket fanatics of a decade ago who insisted the falcon 9 could do everything and anything else was from satan.Continue reading “Hydrogen Hatred and Dinosaurs”
