“Craig’s blog: All human life is there.
Especially if it has to do with royalty or even their lawnmowers. ;)”
_________ You’re absolutely right. I was personally most impressed with the breathless account of who was in the Royal Box at Wimbledon and what Mrs Beckham was wearing – so “Hello” !
The quantum leap may be the cause of the security-industry/oppression-organizations’ getting all hot under the collar;
Jail for internet troll over Facebook threats to kill 200
Note that the supposed “terrorist” was sitting in a little northern town and is identified as such, however since then he has been arrested and kept in detention, and finally handed a lengthy jail sentence! Ironically if he had stabbed someone, or he had poked someone’s eye out, in all probability he would have been getting a lighter sentence.
Fact that the oppression-organizations are relentlessly perusing the would be “terrorists” is further highlighted through identification and arrest of a sixteen year old boy, who has tweeted; @Pink I’m ready with my Bomb. Time to blow up #RodLaverArena. Bitch.
Evidently he was tweeting the lyrics from a Pink song;
Note the speed of the operations in identification of the latter individual, that is followed by locating the boy in the arena, and identifying him in person, and then carrying out his arrest, and ejection from the concert.
This is akin to the sixties intelligence scare that eggs were to be filled with “acid” for an upcoming party! The cops took the “acid bombs” pretty seriously and for real, resulting in stop and heavy frisking of the hippies to find the acid bomb. Needless to point out, the acid that hippies were interested in was not the caustic substance that the police were searching for.
However, given that Snowden is holed up somewhere, whilst the aeroplanes of the heads of state are being forced down and searched, for him. This because Snowden let the cat out of the bag about the extent of surveillance that we the people are under.
As corroborated by the fact that the spies jump into action to identify a “would be terrorist” in a small northern town, miles away form Tennessee US, and arrange for his arrest, and subsequent trial in UK. Or the said spies, identify a sixteen year old boy, attending a concert and arrange for his arrest and ejection, is a peculiar outcome. What are these guys spying on, and who are they punishing for their perceived deviations from the prescribed path, or are these oppression-organizations simply coercing the rest of us to toe the line?
It started in the airports; “did you pack your bags, yourself?”
Heh, Komo. Break out of your three-dimensional physics for the Quantum Leap I’m referring to.
Proceed from the static world of John Locke and enter the realm of Existentialism, where reality is bendable like Einsteinian ‘wavicles’ . Holy shite, even he couldn’t calculate the Unified Field Theory.
The World’s we don’t see are unfathomable because we continue to think like the Empiricists.
The link is again available on google.
The most interesting bit is this:
“The fact that conditions were difficult inside the cockpit is supported by air-traffic control
radio conversation between Asiana and the KSFO control…At least five minutes prior to landing Asinan 214 had declared an in-flight emergency (IFE). The controller can be heard twice assuring the Asiana pilot that “emergency vehicles are on their way.”
So why are we leing told massive disinformation and lies about what happened and why?
Here’s the biography of the guy Trowbridge is quoting
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm5031425/bio
[Mini Biography By: Kovach, Tom]
and here’s his blog
http://tomkovach.us/CB-4v1/2013/07/1847/
and here are his ‘reasons’ why Asiana 214 could have been sabotaged
“Who would have motive to bring down an airliner? North Korea seems a likely possibility, given their recently-expressed anger over American sanctions for a series of North Korean ballistic missile tests in recent weeks. China might want to flex muscle with regard to the giant amounts of debt owed to Chinese interests by American government and businesses. There is the possibility of a disgruntled aircraft maintenance worker.
“And, there is the possibility of someone wanting to intentionally bring down an airliner, but make it look like a malfunction, in order to bolster the “random spark” scenario regarding the 1996 crash of TWA Flight 800.”
This’ll cheer Craig up no end, and ensure a speedy post-op recovery.
Let’s not begrudge, but cheer and be happy for those who make a success of their lives. There’s nothing worse than the politics of envy, so let’s all resolve to try and emulate the achievements of these shining beacons of our glorious age.

‘Investigative Report On Michael Hastings Crash’
“San Diego 6 has done an investigative report into the death of Michael Hastings and, in the process, have confirmed that a cover-up of the ‘real’ cause of his death is underway. Both police and the fire department have been TOLD not to comment for this story and a police report was not made available. Why not? What do they have to hide if this was merely ‘a crash’?”

So Much For Middle East Democracy
By Eric Margolis
July 09, 2013
“The real story behind the military coup in Cairo led by General al-Sissi is much more complex than the western media is reporting. Far from a spontaneous uprising by Egyptians, – aka “a people’s revolution” – what really happened was a putsch orchestrated by Egypt’s “deep government” and outside powers – the latest phase of the counter-revolution against the so-called Arab Spring.”

“It is one of the reasons that I raised the epetition of which somebody has already experienced difficulties signing because of a warning message not to open the file.”
John, I signed the e-petition when you put it up on 5th July at 11:50pm but I hadn’t opened my e-mails until today (9th July).
The confirmation reply was not there and neither were there any e-mails for the last 5 days from anyone. Nothing!
I accessed your petition site again just now to resend and saw this:
Petition
Closing: 05/07/2014 12:08
And:
“If you have already signed this petition, but didn’t receive an email to confirm your signature, you can request a confirmation to be resent by providing your email address below.”
I’ve done that but if the petition is closed I won’t be able to confirm my signing.
My eyes were as big as dinner plates when I read this, but then I read the thing on down …
“Ireland Rejects Edward Snowden Arrest Warrant From USA”
http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2013/07/08/edward-snowden-arrest-warrant-reland_n_3562943.html
(they’re quibbling – ‘Ireland’s Justice Minister Alan Shatter said there is nothing to prevent the US making a second application to the courts in Dublin on Mr Snowden.’
I’m such an antisemite that I only found out relatively recently that Alan Shatter is not only Jewish but apparently a big Zionist.
That — I’m such an antisemite that I only found out relatively recently that Alan Shatter is not only Jewish but apparently a big Zionist — was a PS.
Wikileaks tweet
We can confirm that a US extradition request for Mr. Snowden has been served on Iceland
“(Reuters) – Former U.S. spy agency contractor Edward Snowden has not yet formally accepted asylum in Venezuela, the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks said on Tuesday after a Russian lawmaker posted a statement to that effect on Twitter and then deleted it.”

Is this intended to be a “false trail” of conflicting reports?

@Dreoilin.
Re Alan Shatter Irland’s Justice Minister. During Operation Cast Lead this man was all over the media as self-appointed cheerleader for the IDF’s slaughter.
His remit, in the opposition, at the time was “Spokesman for Children” for Fine Gael. I enquired whether allowing this performance discredited the party but never even received the customary acknowledgement.
On an earlier thread I quoted Ireland’s shameful record over Shannon as reason for my fears for Snowden had asylum been offered in Ireland. Shatter was another.
During Cast Lead his performance was compared by Aengus Ó Snodaigh TD “with that of Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi propaganda minister, (who) would have been proud of such comments.”
He also said Shatter “had employed propaganda, twisted logic and half truths” in speaking to the Irish Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs.
So much for Ireland’s “Justice Minister”.
God speed
re the TWA800 disaster
A new documentary alleging that the investigation into the crash was a cover-up made news headlines with statements from six members of the original investigation team, now retired, who, citing radar evidence indicating a possible missile, also filed a petition to reopen the probe. The documentary will air on July 17, 2013, the 17-year anniversary of the accident.
http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/national_world&id=9144746
Shatter would be well catered for in Karimova’s new gaffe. It’s got eleven bogs.
Anyway. What’s he doing in Fine Gael. Their history makes the Failers look like angels, and he’s been with them a long time going way back to when there were still very vocal fascists publicly pontificating on behalf of that party.
Oh. Wait. Got it now.
Kibo Noh: I don’t have one on hand to reference, but imagine a graph of time on the Y axis, verses mass on the X axis, versed speed on a Z axis. Visualise this with your left hand out, with your thumb, forefinger and middle finger all at 90 degrees to each other. Thumb (pointing up) = time, middle finger (pointing right) = mass, and forefinger (forward) = speed. At tiny levels of each, at the centre of the graph near to where all three intersect, is where you find quantum physics operating. Tiny amounts of time, almost negligible mass, and indistinguishably small distances. Towards the right hand middle distance forward is where you will find relativity, Einstein’s equations operating, in a 3D cloud in our graph – effects governing very high speed, large amounts of mass, making it curve towards large amounts of time.
So that’s basically the distinction between quantum and relativistic considerations – where on that graph your interest lies. Most of the time, in all our experiences, we’re in the middle ground where Newtonian physics operate, and the effects of the aforementioned two are negligible.
Yes, the TWA 800 whitewash was a cruel joke at the time, with the lugubrious FAA stooge watching FBI make shit up.

Ben-
You are SERIOUSLY suggesting that we base our examination of the universe on THIS???
<"The subjective thinker’s form, the form of his communication, is his style. His form must be just as manifold as are the opposites that he holds together. The systematic eins, zwei, drei is an abstract form that also must inevitably run into trouble whenever it is to be applied to the concrete. To the same degree as the subjective thinker is concrete, to the same degree his form must also be concretely dialectical. But just as he himself is not a poet, not an ethicist, not a dialectician, so also his form is none of theirs directly. His form must first and last be related to existence, and in this regard he must have at his disposal the poetic, the ethical, the dialectical, the religious. Subordinate character, setting, etc., which belong to the well balanced character of the esthetic production, are in themselves breadth; the subjective thinker has only one setting-existence-and has nothing to do with localities and such things. The setting is not the fairyland of the imagination, where poetry produces consummation, nor is the setting laid in England, and historical accuracy is not a concern. The setting is inwardness in existing as a human being; the concretion is the relation of the existence-categories to one another. Historical accuracy and historical actuality are breadth." Soren Kierkegaard (Concluding Postscript, Hong p. 357-358)
(Tip of the hat to Wikipedia, there)
Personally, I think inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry has a bit more to offer us, and we’d better agree to differ.
Re. Shatter – I’m diffident about commenting on Irish politicos, our own are bad enough, but here (scroll down) is the piece by Prof. Illan Pappe (himself Jewish, and ex-IDF) to which Shatter and the Israeli ambassador took objection.
http://www.israel-academia-monitor.com/index.php?type=large_advic&advice_id=6944&page_data%5Bid%5D=4338&userid=&cookie_lang=en&BLUEWEBSESSIONSID=c47d7da887e1576698c8df273de4abae
Seems to be no more than a statement of the facts.
I also found a white supremacist site – which I will not compliment by linking – which makes the valid point that while Shatter appears to be very strong on derestricting immigration (of cheap labour) to Ireland, he has no quarrel with the very selective immigration policy of his favourite state.
