My little ebay store is starting to do some business. One stellar sale was a few days ago, of an antique bronze sundial. I bought it for 8 pounds in London in the winter of 1987 and after all ebay’s fees, it gave me back $450. Not bad.

Mostly selling rock slabs, otherwise. Slices of agate and jasper, mostly, and mostly top quality. At somewhat depressed prices, it’s obvious that all the blah blah about our economy being so great, I can tell you, is a pack of lies, it’s not so hot. You can’t let in 30 or 40 million unemployed migrants willing to do anything for any money, and expect wages to be up and it’s those good wages that make a good economy.

But the truth is I don’t need the money anyway, I’m just an entrepreneurial type, and it helps keep me involved in my hobby and from being bored. I do wish I had a nice share of Elon’s money though, it would be so much more fun to live on a mega-yacht and go fishing in Bermuda. I’d hire one of those Jamaican steel drum bands to make music on the fantail in the evenings.

HEADLINE: “The death toll from flash floods along the Nepal-China border rose above 1,300 on Friday, while more than 5,600 others remained missing.”

When there’s too many people, they run out of room for safe places to build, and then this happens, over and over and over again. If Man doesn’t limit his numbers, Mother Nature will do it for him.

I would really feel sorry for these people if I didn’t already feel a lot worse for all the other animals that have lost their homes because we took them.

Absolutely perfect weather today. The blasting heat of summer in the desert is over for another year. July and August were plenty hot, but it’s cooled off early this year as the heat usually extends into September. Not this time, the long range weather outlook is more of the same like today.

I tell you, this Global Warming is a great thing, as our summers have been getting cooler on the average and the winters warmer. Life is good.

IN OTHER NEWS… The Chinese appear to be way ahead of Elon’s Optimus robots, they’ve been selling household helpers for a few months now. But try to buy one and you meet a wall, because the US won’t allow them to be imported “for security reasons”, which means Elon’s ‘bots have been given a government monopoly. Nothing chickenshit about that, right? Just because they’ll cost twice as much and aren’t even in production yet… This pisses me off because the first real use for them is for the aged and disabled, and if the Chinese have better, faster and cheaper, then why not?

The Mothers of Invention band sang it, “Minnisota, Minni Minni Sota, it can’t happen here, it can happen in Minnesota, but it can’t happen here”. It IS happening in England, where the Muslims, whom the government and the Muslims themselves calls them “Asians”, are getting steadily more aggressive at taking over the country. Here’s an article about a father with his children and their dog in a local park with some Muslim asshole telling them he’s in charge and it’s “Asian” territory now and they don’t like whites and dogs, so get out. To his credit, the Brit refuses to back down.

One more reason why I live out here in Bumscrew, in Godforsaken County, Calif. We have no MooSlimes here. Last Spring at the post office there was a Jewish rabbi in full ceremonial dress, no doubt was going to perform some sort of ceremony, and no one bothered him. There’s a little synagogue in town along with all the churches, no idea what varieties of faiths since I’m not religious and don’t care, but not one fucking mosque and if there was I’d join the crowd to burn it down. Or burn it down myself, whatever.

Because it can’t happen here.

Cardinal Pizzaballa decries Israelis’ ‘continuous aggression’ in West Bank

One Spicy Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, pissing on his host, Israel. The “Two State Solution” is internationally known to have only one purpose, which is to divide and destroy Israel, and that’s why the Muslims keep demanding it. This man represents all Catholicism and is boosting the death of the nation that hosts him, for the sake of the terrorist Muslims.

The Big Bang Theory has been proven wrong. Personally I’m cheering, I always hated it, it’s just too illogical. As science improved along with measuring and observing equipment, like the Hubble Telescope and the James Webb telescope, obvious shortcomings in the BBT began appearing. One is the lack of sufficient matter in the Universe that the BBT predicted, so the physicists came up with Dark Matter. “It has to be there, we just can’t detect it yet.” Massive efforts have been made to detect it and all have failed, and meantime another fault appeared, insufficient energy. So they patched the BBT again with imaginary Dark Energy, enough to validate the BBT.

They can’t find this imaginary Dark Energy, either.  It’s another failed patch job. No surprise. This is the problem with these entrenched societies of academic peers who constantly compete with each other in mathematical one-upness. Once they all agree on something and put their name on that list, no way in Hell do they want to see anything happen that would make them look wrong. Theories that get accepted then become doctrines.

So it looks like we’re back to the Steady State theory again where the Universe is not expanding. They’re arguing over the Red Shift but I believe I’ve solved that little problem, since a thorough cataloguing of visible galaxies shows that a sufficient majority of them are all spinning discs with the same direction of rotation aligned in the same direction in relation to each other for it to be anomalous. Put plainly, this is proof that the Universe is not a big expanding blob but a flat disc that looks much like most galaxies. Only one helluva lot bigger, of course.

Red Shift. The farther away a galaxy is to us the redder it’s light looks, and this was thought to be because it’s moving away from us faster with increasing distance, hence the expanding Universe. No. Since the Universe is a disc, and matter warps space, the light has to travel along the curve of the warp, in this case the arms of galaxies. The warp causes time dilation, a known fact, and it’s the time dilation that causes the Red Shift. I’m sure on this and expect to see someone claim the idea on some science website eventually.

One thing I’m not so convinced of is the Steady State. It may be steady in an overall sense and I do believe it is, but it’s dynamic. It didn’t just come into being and then, that’s it. There’s a constant flux of energy coming and going. Still working on that one.

With the BBT in the trash, the “age of the Universe” is in there with it, since that’s what it was based on. More and better observations indicate that the Universe is at least hundreds of billions of years old. Some think that it always existed, I don’t, I think when the physicists say that space creates energy, that they’re on to something. Too bad my math sucks and I’m stuck with verbal explanations and field visualizations. But I get there, and sometimes well before the pros do because I’m not held back by peer pressure.

Stephen Hawking visualized what was going on in the Universe and then worked out the math for his theories. I do the visualization part, without the math, but Hawking is being proven wrong now on major points so maybe I shouldn’t use him as an example.

Here’s a super-fun topic that I know everyone is going to be wetting their undies in their eagerness to comment about.

Energy fields. Lately I’ve been entertaining myself with a few Internet AIs, discussing energy fields, from the atomic level up to planetary to Black Hole level and surprising myself both on what physicists do know, and what they don’t. Also surprising myself on what I know, since I suck at mathematics.

Theoretical physics can be a different matter, though, because it’s sort of philosophical, you have to envision subatomic fields and their interactions to develop an understanding of these forces, it’s all done inside the head instead of on paper or a chalkboard. Or a laptop, I suppose.

Anyway, what I describe to the AI’s as being the states and functions of subatomic fields that I visualize is what the AI’s tell me is analogous to what the physicists say, so either we’re all full of it, or I’m on to something.

Seriously, it sounds like boring egghead stuff, I know, but it actually is fun to get into. It’s great mental exercise and way better than dementia.

12,900 years ago something happened to the Earth that we call The Younger Dryas. I don’t know why that name, go look it up if it matters. The Earth was just starting to come out of over 100,000 years of Ice Age when it happened and a severe cooling trend took over that cooled the Earth down again for about 1300 years. It may have been caused by meteors, a continent-wide forest fire, no one knows. There’s theories and evidence for all of it.

About 1500 years, give or take a century or two, after the calamity struck the planet, the large town/small city (they’re still digging with a long way to go)  was built. The discovery of  Gobekli Tepi, in Turkey,  has proven that there was an advanced civilization in that part of the world, 12,000 years ago. That this town was a town, people lived in homes and practiced advanced farming techniques. There is also the fact, now known, that Gobekli Tepi was an end product. It was the remnants of a civilization that died there, not something new, but something very old.

Until Gobeki Tepi it was believed that humans didn’t know how to shape rock into pillars or farm cattle. Or farm anything. Or make clay pottery. Our genius anthropologists thought all humans were hunter-gatherers, scrabbling for food off the land and didn’t start figuring out how to do all that until about 6000 years later. This is why they so vehemently deny that the Pyramids are at least 12,000 years old in spite of all the evidence that they’re  that old or older.

When the Younger Dryas period ended 11,600 years ago it was because the cyclical warming period that normally occurs between ice ages overcame the cold, the Earth kept getting warmer, the ice began melting rapidly and sea level, which was about 200 feet lower than now, rose rapidly, flooding all the towns and cities, if there were any, that would have existed along the coasts.

The existence of Gobekli Tepi isn’t proof that there were cities on those coasts but it presents a very good argument for the possibility and why this town or city was built on a mountain, up high. As the civilizations below were drowned, no one could have known how high the water would rise.

100,000 years of Ice Age followed by a rapid 200 foot rise in the ocean, that wipes out every single human coastal habitation on the planet, just can’t be very good for maintaining any sort of recorded human history. That we have a history is proven by the fact that we’re still here. It may prove to be a joke played on us all that because we find caves with 30,000 year old artwork on the walls, we think humans were all cavemen at that time, when the truth may be that they weren’t representative of humanity at all. It may be that on those submerged coasts was where the real action was before the floods came.

It’s fun to speculate and someday some remotely guided camera swimming around with it’s headlight on down there may spot a statue or a stone pillar and the historians will start writing new chapters.

There are 120,000 Flock spy cameras installed now in 49 of the 50 states, that do more than just read license plates as they were originally intended. They can also identify the person driving the vehicle, and track the vehicle by its:

• • Dirt and scratches
  • Bumper stickers or specific dents
  • Roof racks and unique wheel rims
  • The exact make, model, color, and year
  The projected full saturation of these cameras when completed is estimated at 2 to 3 million, considering not just Flock but their other competitors in a growing market. These cameras don’t just track vehicular traffic, they watch everything, foot traffic, everything. This is the well-established beginning of a national surveillance system on a par with China’s.
  What makes the 2-to-3 million cameras in the future possible isn’t just buying more hardware—it is connecting what already exists.
  Private security cameras (like Ring doorbells or commercial building cameras) are increasingly being upgraded with software patches that turn standard video feeds into license plate readers. This means the infrastructure can grow exponentially without anyone needing to dig holes or plant new metal poles. That Ring Doorbell Camera you pay monthly for is reporting and recording everything that goes by your front door, including you.
  Google AI and no doubt the other social media AIs all retain what you ask and talk about to some degree, in order to simply keep an eye on what you’re doing. In China, where there’s a Social Behavior point system, this really matters. Their surveillance system is much more advanced than in the US, which doesn’t yet have a social point system, and literally where your next meal comes from can depend on your social points. China has established as full a control over it’s people as it may be possible to do.
  Considering the advent of Flock and other surveillance, Ring cameras, Facebook and other social media, the US is well on the way to comparing to China, and that social point system may be coming, too.
  Then there’s AI. Since the government, via the military, has built and is expanding their own, as civilian AI’s also are while still others are presently being built, it’s impossible to get an estimate of just how much electronic brain power there is now, let alone what the future holds. Elon is building Colossus, to be the largest single AI in the world and his funding comes mostly from the US military budget, one reason Trump has pushed for a greatly expanded military budget. Elon Musk is deeply imbedded with the US government, the US military and with China. Remember this. He may not be the Great Benefactor of Humanity that his press keeps saying he is.
  One of the purposes of all this expanded AI is to keep track of everyone. All those cameras are useless unless the data can be instantly analyzed. When they want someone tracked they want it done in real time. Between the massive surveillance system and unlimited AI, there will be no problem knowing what anyone is doing at any time. And, of course, don’t forget the technology which is well advanced now that can see through walls and hear every word.
  “Fringe” is a word I haven’t been very fond of because search engines and the MSM always use it in a derogatory manner when discussing any group, person, theory or anything else that doesn’t gibe with their political or  Woke bias. But lately, as government surveillance of the citizenry expands and becomes more effective in the cities, the more I appreciate living out here on the fringe of civilized society, in a remote small town with no Flock cameras. Yet anyway.

I just watched a news video taken today of the L.A. City Council in session.

Someone on the Los Angeles, CA city council made a serious proposition, that the City start providing sexual relief for the homeless, in the name of equality, by giving them hygienic hand jobs. Yes. Masturbating them. Setting up masturbation stations for the homeless complete with hired help to jack them off.

I see good money in this, in a secondary market, for those involved in the printing of the placards that line the sides, above the windows, of city buses. The first to land the City contract for the ones that advertise this service will make a pretty penny and my plan is for animated ads. For instance, old Harry lays back with a smile while the Latex-gloved Relief Person unzips him, pulls out his johnson and starts stroking away. The flashing text can read something like “Free handjobs for the homeless, sign up today, watch for the rainbow-painted van with the big  red plastic dildo on top in your neighborhood.”

I honestly thought this level of shit only happened in San Francisco.
