A “Lib Dem” minister just told Sky News he was approving new nuclear power stations to promote green jobs. If anybody ever votes for these lying bastards again I shall be disconsolate.

A Node,
H1N1 Swine flu periodically mutated to develop a pre-known deep long infection mutation. That these wild mutations never developed known other complementary mutations that would allow both deep lung infection and easy airborne spread (as the 1918 virus managed to do so well) some say is a matter of luck.
There were some real scares when it looked like the deep lung infection variant was spreading human-human in Ukraine. Autopsies of the lungs of some victims look like the lungs of H5N1 bird flu victims and the records of 1918 deaths. The WHO descended on Ukraine like a ton of bricks with antivirals and the outbreak stayed in control.
The particular mutation and others continue to occur sporadically. It’s the fear that this could have been 1918 all over again with just a few changes that was really motivating the all out effort to control it. The NHS ran an exercise based on mutation occurring and while not exactly the end of the world, results were not pretty.
If I read the tea-leaves correctly, this new H7N9 doesn’t have to twiddle too many base pairs before we’re all potential virus lunch.
Curious Fact
The older people were the more immunity they had to swine flu. Those who were alive in 1918 had the highest resistance of all, whether they were recorded as having caught the flu or not back then. Swine flu was partially descended from the 1918 outbreak and the human immune system still remembered that 90 years later.

“Ben, JLN has done quite a bit of research into lifters. It came from Townsend Brown US Physicist you could call the Father of the lifters.”
Would that be the “shirt-lifters” Dave?
Dave lawton,
are you mad or just a ordinary scoundrel posting deliberate nonsense? The article you refer to is a joke and the supposed US patent No. 0002449550 was not filed in 1960 but in 1948 and is no longer in the data base. How convenient. please construct the “lifter” if you believe in wonders. it may help to lift your prick when in dire need.
Anon,
It’s all about risk assessment. As a healthy wood-touching male, I assess the risk of serious harm to me …
… from natural flu as low.
… from a man-made-virus, higher.
… from a flu vaccine, highest.
Dave; “3 orders of magnitude….” and the Army just went, “so….?” I don’t understand why, other than possibly ending one’s career, that LENR’s are sucking hind-tit. The simplicity (for those other than myself) seems ideal for the backyard genius plying his prototype. Is that why ITER is sucking up all the research shekels? Projects which occupy multiples of Nations is big enough to draw Media, and kill the competition.

That is truely remarkable.
Venezuela election just seven days to go
“Maduro Orders Military Protection of Venezuelan Electricity System against Presumed Sabotage”
“Interim President Nicolas Maduro yesterday ordered the Venezuelan military to protect power plants against what he claimed [were] attempts to sabotage Venezuela’s electricity system ahead of next week’s presidential election.”
“The move was ordered in a meeting with government ministers, military commanders and electricity board authorities, following a set of power outages in Caracas and Aragua state on Wednesday considered to be suspicious.”

Softening-up the British public for UK drone attacks?
“Today the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) and the University of Surrey’s Centre for International Intervention (cii) have published Hitting the Target? How New Capabilities are Shaping International Intervention.”
“What [is required is an examination of] new polling data examining the attitude of the British public towards the use of armed drones. While some of the data is useful, unfortunately some of it is also skewed because of badly worded questions. For example, the poll asks:”
“It was recently reported that the UK Government might be passing information to US authorities to help them carry out missile strikes from unmanned aircraft called “drones” to kill known terrorists overseas in countries like Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia. To what extent, if at all, would you support or oppose the UK Government assisting in a drone missile strike to kill a known terrorist overseas?”
“ The response is that 55% of those polled either strongly supported or tended towards supporting such strikes. The reality however is that strikes in Pakistan are taking place not against “known terrorist” but against “suspected” militants or insurgents. The use of the word ‘terrorist’ and ‘known’ rather than ‘suspected’ hugely undermines the resulting data from this question.”

Where were you while Hab was active?
Dave Lawton,
I’m enjoying reading your posts. It seems obvious to me that you are genuine in your beliefs and knowledgeable in the field of alternative energy. Even better, you have inside knowledge. I am interested in this subject because I believe that about a century ago, the oil companies waged a successful generation-long campaign to kill off alternatives to oil, and thus make us dependent on it. It is just not credible that after more than a century we haven’t replaced the internal combustion engine as the mainstay of our transport system.
To protect their investment, I believe the oil companies are suppressing technology which would lessen our dependence on them. I would expect them to use all the legal and illegal tools of the powerful – misinformation, opinion-forming, control of research, imprisonment, murder, etc, and I would also expect them to harass and discredit anyone who they see as a threat.
For these reasons, it’s hard for Joe Bloggs and me to separate the information wheat from the chaff. I don’t know enough yet to judge the credibility of these new ideas, so my strategy, as in all such situations, is to try and hear honest opinion from as many perspectives as possible and eventually build up the big picture. I rate your opinion highly and I’m glad you’ve begun posting here. Please don’t be put off by the recent flurry of abuse.
@doug scorgie 9:36pm Doug I had one over me the other day ,I think it was a Watchkeeper ,Its geting a bit like the Gaza strip were I live.I can do without Israel putting in their penny`s worth.
A Node, agreed. And thanks to you and Anon for the very constructive, informative and civilised dialogue you have shared. If i may add, others would do well to emulate the standard.
@ A Node 9:59
Thanks for the support there seems to be quite a bit of Trollish behavior round here a pattern has developed. I suppose they can`t
help we use to call them straights.
Dave,
I’m more interested in the “lifter” than (to me) unbelievable earthquake sats running wild.
Curious that if I try to pull the NASA document direct from NASA I get the following message
http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/20040171929_2004178266.pdf
I don’t see how any of this relates to gamma ray earthquake lasers. Totally different subject.
The NASA paper concludes according to the copy at

So you live in Gaza?
Nuff said.
Dave; from A Node’s 10:37
“Ablative material will be discussed below. However, as a preview it may be mentioned that for the velocities of the ejected material that might be expected to result from thermal or electrostatic forces, the amount of material that would need to be removed is much greater than that available. The suggestion of polarizing the vacuum into mater and antimatter appears inconsistent with known physics, since the energy available at the particle level, due to an ACT….snip………
, is roughly 9 ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE too small.
These proposed mechanisms are discussed in more detail under “Theoretical Analysis.”
The Army found 3 orders of magnitude. What is this apparent inconsistency?
Gawd; Sorry A Node/ Anon. My post above was incorrectly addressed.
@Anon 10:37pm
I am not really interested in thrusters I posted the JLN link for Ben.
If you are really interested check the site .Within your post is this.”charged ions which undergo multiple collisions with air.” How come it works in a vacuum ?
“It was also decided in Mr Magnitsky’s absence that despite the photographic evidence of his beaten body, he had died of natural causes and no crime had been committed there either. Case closed. And that ‘Case closed’ is what it is all about.”

Dave,
It doesn’t work in a vacuum according to the published research.
This is how the bearded wise ones at physicsforums.com put it and justify the general ban on discussion.
http://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=326707
I can imagine there might be possible classified uses of the technology as described in the NASA paper without resorting to “new physics”.

Back to basics Dave. Newton’s third law.
I have bookmarked the golem HI, and for that I thank you. Anymore sources you like? Thank you in advance.
yep its become a multi topic Blog…

P.s I for one Would like for Real Scientists to Keep contributing here…
Dave Lawton, i once observed 3 satellites travelling in a triangular formation, heading east over about the Lower clyde area, in all my years of star gazing i have never seen this before. it was winter 92. any ideas on this
I know you don’t suffer fools, well. Just see it as the test of fire. It will hone your skills. There are a lot of perceptive folks here.
Test out who is who.
Brian,
Seems Prog Rock won’t go away.
That tweet is by Marillion’s “Fish” and refers to http://www.scotsman.com/scotland-on-sunday/scotland/gavin-bowd-reveals-some-uncomfortable-truths-in-fascist-scotland-1-2881250
Fish took too much cocaine and turned into a fat, total twat who left Marillion and picked up Radio Tay in his head in BBC dramas about Dundee (although it was funny and somewhat accurate).
@Anon 11:29 pm Check the tests at Nasa on JLN they disagree there is some reaction although small.
With regards to the Physics forum I don`t know who the are,The big boys and girls I use to play with
don`t go on forums.
PS I have met Fish. On the final occasion he appeared to do a disappearing trick when he saw me that impressed me greatly. The younger version of himself wold kick the fuck out of the older version. He might even admit that.
