President Obama released his "long form" birth certificate yesterday. This, of course, is what the "birthers" and the Republicans have been clamoring for him to do, led by probable Presidential candidate, Donald Trump. Yesterday Donald Trump was happy about his own actions. Unfortunately the pack of the other loonie Republican candidates may not be so happy. In fact I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they were all as mad as hell at him, for depriving them of their greatest issue to get out the votes in the Iowa Primary. So one can't help but go "Nya - nya -- nya- - nya!- - - nyah!" at the whole lot of them. Now they have all been shown for the asses they are. Of course I'm not sure in my own case whether the thing I dug up for the DMV in September of 2002 was my "long" or "short" form Birth Certificate. I only know it wasn't the hospital one my Mom had shown me all those years with the baby's foot prints and the mother's thumb print on it- and some kind of gold sticker. This long form one said my Dad worked for an "oil company". My Dad's actual job was more of an Insurance investigator- - checking out claims, kind of not that unlike what Edger G. Robinson did in "Double Indemnity". In my own case I'm not entirely sure I trust either document. But in the President's case it was always known that the President was born on August 4, 1961 in Hawaii and we know for certain the hospital he was born at. And there are all those birth announcements in the newspaper. The Republicans have NEVER been able to explain that one away. But still they say even today fifteen percent of the whack jobs out there don't believe this new document but still believe the President was born in Kenya, even though there is NO evidence of that. For some people their beliefs are their security blanket protecting them from the real world. Rational people like myself have never reasoned this way- - but I guess in today's election cycle, certain accomodations have to be made in Campaigns for the "whack job factor" out there.
President Obama decided to do some major rearranging of his cabinet yesterday, probably so that the people in each post more precisely reflect the president's positions on issues. For instance Def. Sec. Robert Gates was at odds with the President's current pro war position on Libya. We haven't heard that much about Libya lately, only that we are still thinking of sending ground troops if the situation calls for that. John Mc Cain is calling for any measures sort of that drastic move, saying NATO and company should continue with the bombing. Apparently we have wiped out forty percent of Kadafy's strike force already. At that rate we should have the job done in a few more weeks. But John Mc Cain is also calling for "advisors" like we had in Viet Nam for a while, and people to train the rebels fighting for their lives, before the Kadaffy government wiped them out. As I have stated we may want to re-think that strategy because in letting Kadaffy stay we are making a Faustian bargain with the Devil to get cheaper oil prices because speculators will no longer see it an easy to make a buck, once the Mideast "crisis" has settled back down to what passes for normal there Leon Peneta has moved from the CIA to the Defense department replacing Robert Gates, and General Petrayas will replace Peneta at the CIA. I would presume that Leon Peneta has a philosophy on this matter more to the President's liking. As far as Gen. Petrayas, or "betray us" is concerned- - I guess we're looking for a proven military winner at the CIA. OK the surge worked so I shouldn't call names. But you know the President was a lot more vocal than I was back in 2006 in saying that the surge would never work in Iraq. But the President is counting on all of us having short memories. As to high gasoline prices, there was a point in 2008 when I advised my readers that if they had real balls, they would short petroleum futures and make a killing on the way down. Of course you know what they used to say on KWHY don't you, "Bulls make money in the market; bears make money in the market, but hogs never do". I'm not saying we're there yet, but there may come a time when I give my readers the signal, they should all rush out and short oil futures and rake in the money. Of course you know the saying "Gasoline prices never go down as quickly as they go up".
Wikkileaks.com has done another information dump on the internet. This one pertains to the activities at Guantanamo Bay. I don't have a problem with releasing information that the American people need to know to help set military policy. After all it's out government and we ought to have a say as to what goes on. This is why the Constitution expressly limits war funding, which must only originate in the House- - the most immediate of the elected officials- - for a period of two years only, at which time all authorization must be renewed. But as I stated months ago, I do take exception to the release of Diplomatic communaques and suppositions and theories of our government officials. Because these indeed touch on national security, and must be held sacrosanct. Otherwise lives could be negatively impacted, and in a severe way, just like as in the Valerie and Joe Wilson affair of a few years ago. Certain things should truely and genuinely be "private", just as you and I should be accorded a certain measure of privacy in our own lives, free from the meddlesome interference of government. It's the Golden Rule and all that.
Right now I'd like to talk more about the reciprocity doctrine of Einstein. Get ready for some funny math coming your way on a TV station near you. We know in algebra they give new students some basic premises to go on. Such as "If A = B then B = A" and "If B = C and A = C than A = B" and the like. Others include "If A is greater than B; then B is less than A". But with the reciprocity doctrine you get funny math. You have "If A is greater than B then B is greater than A" Or try this one on for size. If A = C and C = A and both sides agree on this, and if A is greater than B then B is greater than C. Also if C is less than B then B is less than A. But A still equals C. With the reciprocity doctrine one guy might see his friend in the dining room for breakfast and say to his friend, "Gosh - you look really awful today" and the other fellow may respond "Well, you look like something the cat barfed up yourself". Of course we could be talking about two patients in a half way house or something where BOTH fellows have a COMMON misperception problem, because both are suffering from some sort of psychological depression. But nobody ever adds up the observable evidence and the math and deduces what is really going on. They are too in love with the illusion. Let's look at it another way. We are told nobody can travel faster than light. But we know the speed of light is not infinite but a definable limited quantity of 186,000 miles per second. Doesn't it follow that light would be a rather poor way to measure speeds faster than itself? It would be as if all the churches in the United States suddenly forsook their beliefs in their concept of God, and with one voice declared that President Obama was the quintessential example of perfection. Try as they might to emulate everything about President Obama, somehow they continually fall short of what everybody knows to be perfection. But I'll give you another example of the absurdity of taking Einsteins formula of volicities seriously. I told you that a year of acceleration at one G gets you to light speed. However suppose you've been accelerating for ten months. Can you not take pride that you are almost at the speed of light and have only a small remainder of acceleration to go? Not in the classic theory. Because after nearly a year of expending all that rocket fuel and despite the fact that under Newton you will have accumulated a tremendous ammount of Kenitic energy mass-force, you don't have squat. You are no closser to your goal than you were. This is why I wrote Dr. Levy that letter saying that an infinite ammount of the Possible will STILL get you NONE of what is impossible. Let that one sink in. You've heard that Time is an artifact of God. But both time and infinity are artifacts of God. God himself created the concept of Infinity to be incorporated within a finite creation. Chew on that one. I have spoken of things Infinity will not accomplish. If you are doing a decimal one third you can go .3333333--- and with each 3 you get ten times closser to your goal. I said that in art parrellel lines meet at Infinity. They meet no sooner and no later. With camera lens markings infinity is just a fixed line. There are settings both greater than and less than Infinity. But with our light acceleration example. After ten months of acceleration the guy hasn't got squat. Zip. Some may rightly ask "What about Newton's law of conservation of Energy? Well, Einstein just threw that one overboard. After all that expenditure of energy you haven't got zip under Einstein. This is because you are having a parlor trick on you of progressively smaller miles and longer seconds, which like marijuana to a guy making love, slows you way down to a frustrating degree. In fact you'll never get there. This is why I told Dr. Levy "There are some things where even Infinity won't help you because you will still be not be one bit closser like dividing zero into one. An infinite ammount of zeroes will still not get you one bit closser to One. Here again, even an Infinite amount of the "Possible" will not produce one bit of the "Impossible". Meditate now with me on this Truth.
I would like to talk just a bit about God. I had an epiphamy a few days ago about the Justice of God. It really exists you know. I said of all the potential Universes potentially created (and perhaps ACTUALLY created) at the time of the Big Bang, that ours was one only totally Forward Universe where EFFECT completely follows CAUSE. This means that in God's sight we all get just what we deserve, whether we like it or not. We may envision a parrellel Universe where our alter egos fare much better in life and how we might like to exchange places with them. But we can't. You may remember the parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus in the Bible. In this story the two were actually talking to each other from their respective after-lives. Lazarus told the Rich Man that "- - there is a gulf fixed between us and I cannot come over to you and you cannot come over to me". Not only that but even were that possible to bridge this Gap between parrellel Universes- - you Still couldn't do it because according to Star Trek each molicule in this Universe has a comon "cosmic signiture" which tags it as belonging to this Universe, and that would even include human souls of this Universe. As such divine justice demands that we stay in our own realms. Now under this system one might say that the blood of Jesus "changes our cosmic signiture" to make us sinless and perfect. Allow me to play this out, will you. Everyone has their own destiny according to their own world of cause and effect. In other Universes that go "sideways" for example there is no relation between cause and effect. In 180 degree opposite Universes, cause FOLLOWS effect, don't even ask me how. But this is only in our own eyes. As each views his own Universe there is divine justice whether he likes it or not.
