Voodoo Justice in Michael Dunn Trial Again?

In the Internet age with lots of free cloud storage and dirt cheap web cams why aren't new cars and retrofits given exterior audio-video surveillance normally that record the area around an automobile for potential use in court trials? The Michael Dunn case seems like voodoo justice with a prosecutor making inferences and guesses about what might have been heard, what emotions may or may not have been stimulated and what evidence such as a shotgun may or may not have existed. That seems a kind of shoddy cargo-cult approach to legal justice especially regarding the important issue of the freedom of a potentially innocent citizen.

It would be easy for new car manufacturers to install such surveillance equipment that could be turned on or off with a verbal command from the driver. Information could be automatically uploaded to the cloud for storage-perhaps 24 hours of data recycling as in store surveillance cameras.

There are many gangs in Florida and automobiles are a second home for Americans. Hostile witnesses in numbers can have their way in voodoo court settings-voodoo that is if a reliable technological record of what occurred is available. That is the way to go in order to avoid innumerable legal justice conundrums ahead. One could become a millionaire installing such systems for a few easy payments of $19.95. I wish I had production connections in China sometimes.

A Good Brief Biographical Video on the late Bobby Fischer

Bobby Fischer may have been the best chess player of all time. His I.Q. was 180 and after winning the world chess title in 1972 he rather lost a rational reason to exist. The withdrawal from chess and steady decline of his life experience is presented fairly well here. An alternative theory is that Fischer is the archetype before/after instance of the effect of mind-altering drugs. The personality change is stark-ditch the suit and the haircut.

Travelling to California after the victory may have made a Fischer a target for the left who spiked a drink perhaps, although the K.G.B. or others that didn't like the Sunday-best rational Fischer in the Watergate and withdrawal from Vietnam year may have thought he was another Kissinger and the personification of everything evil about America. Fischer with his mind on vacation abandoned the world chess title and learned to hate everything about the nation of leftists that denied his rational, methodical undrugged approach to life. I think the left never trusted Fischer though he wore everything except a drug rug to seem mellow.

Yet another theory is that Fischer with a load of cash got hooked on watching Gilligan's island reruns and only choose to play Spaskii again in order to afford to watch reruns of Miami Vice.


Bloggers Ought to Be Free of Police & Mob Intimidation

Internet blogging is a pure vehicle for free expression; a necessary element for competition of ideas. In many nations known as banana republics, authoritarian, narco-states, corporatist, oligarchic, monarchical etc free internet blogging is not permitted without retribution. Mob rule by those not well endowed intellectually requires mob and/or police repression of free speech, free thought and uncoerced Internet blogging. Often the broadcast media is an accessory in trimming individuals expressing antipathetic to corrupt establishment or start-up mobs.



Internet blogging is less than two decades old. In world political history that’s something like the wink of an eye. Many bloggers with an excess of brevity in their wit have found Facebook to be their corporate controlled political weapon of choice yet where else can the world’s writers and political activist yearning to write free without follow up trim by police and mob thugs or terrorists with a microphone owned by the rich or a communist party place their work without fear of it being censored to deleted?

Democracy is in effect the better political form for the competition of ideas. In the marketplace of ideas publicly spirited citizens can read and select the best ideas for infrastructure development-not just the least objectionable slop foisted by a corrupt ruling class such as start the U.S. economy with fossil fuel energy development (boom and bust, globalism, greenhouse gassing, ancient technology, foreign advantage in auto production etc).


Though many nations from Red neo-Corporatist China to North Korea, Venezuela, Iran, and in some ways the U.S.A. (corporations have fine print in their blog sites that let them delete accounts for objectionable to them language without notice) are not completely tolerant of free expression for bloggers it seems like some nation ought to be. A nation that guaranteed blogging Internet posts with cloud storage forever and free would not only get a copy of all of the best ideas posted on Earth (and from the space nation and elsewhere eventually) it would support the liberation of the global body politic from the snares of mobocracy, erosion of their national sovereignty where democracy by and for the people exists or may develop and be a generally respectable item. Even the largest Internet corporations are corporations subject to numerous forms of political and economic leverage. Internet posts simply aren’t secure if posted solely at those sites, and in some Muslim nations one’s liberty may be in jeopardy for posting dissentient ideas.

Desalinating Border Security Canal for Drought Relief

A border security canal for drought relief is a new reason to start shovel ready jobs on an old idea; using siphons and solar powered pumps to bring water in a pipeline to the continental divide around Deming New Mexico and let it run downhill to the Gulf Coast and back to the Pacific in a partially covered canal. The canal would let water evaporate and be condensed under glass or plastic along part of the distance creating a lot of fresh water for irrigation, drinking and so forth. The trouble is the Democrat Party is the existentialist party of drugs and homosexuality concentrating wealth They have downsized interest in work. Life is a soap opera-they want positions.

Creating shovel ready jobs with actual shovels and heavy equipment to build a green border control zone along the Mexican border ought to be better than a fence and should unite Republicans and Democrats in a project that would actually get something done about the long-term drought problem in the Southwest and illegal border crossing from Mexico. The trouble is that the globalist congresspersons are more concerned about the rights of millionaire-billionaire homosexuals than the economic interests of all of the people of the U.S.A.

The only fair way to assure that one isn’t being discriminated against is the annual income-that doesn’t lie and is objective while concerns such as those of the Miami Dolphins and harassment are about millionaires rather than the poor or middle class. The Democrat Party forgot economic facts -who is keeping the rich tethered and tensioned keeping the rich from becoming global royalty these decades? Democrats seemingly don’t want the U.S.A. to be a prosperous healthy nation with full employment and a green accent. Instead the electorate is supposed to conform to an ethics of entertainment tonight.

The Aesthetics of Winter Camping (video)

Extended unemployment must be good for something. At least the aesthetic values of camping in Alaska are interesting. Beats riding a bike across the Gulf Coast in August-117 degrees at Tyler Texas via Shreveport! It would be better if the Obama administration had a clue about creating work in the U.S.A. through reform of capitalism though. I suggested several years ago that the government triage unemployment time and give the most tax credits for hiring those unemployed longest. The President forgot that incentive in trying to get corporations to hire the unemployed. The Democrat Party seems deficient in practical economic reasoning these decades.

Are Galactic Lensing and Expanding Space-time Caused by Quantum Effects?

Light from distant space-time quasars is warped passing select galaxies and made visible as if passing through a lens or traveling around the galaxy because of warped space-time. The expansion of space that was slowing down yet eventually changed to begin accelerating about 5 billion years ago may have a similar cause.  At image credit N.A.S.A. least one would believe they might because each involves space as an actual substance of some sort or at least the existence of mass and energy in volume called space behave somewhat as if space had it's own nature. 

It seems reasonable to speculate that quantum entanglement in mass quantities may be able to slow photons a little and create an apparent space drag around galaxies. Alternatively quantum effects of large bodies of mass boost photons a little as they encounter concentrated fields of mass and ricochet energized.



 I wonder if the acceleration of space-time in the Universe has a related causality to that of galactic lensing. Spacetime phenomena present quite a few puzzles to consider.
