9/11 and Covid-19 may be related to the Tobacco Industry

“Many researchers believe that this radiation is the origin of the high incidence of lung cancer among smokers” – Dr. John Lamarsh in ‘Introduction to Nuclear Engineering’ The 2001 terrorist attacks and the 2020 biological attacks are probably related to the tobacco industry. The death toll of the former stands at just about 3000, while

If every life has equal value, how much is the last box of pasta worth?

I was washing the dishes after making pasta for dinner last evening and I took a few extra seconds to float a bowl in a large pot of water and slowly let the bowl fill up with a trickle of water from the faucet. The bowl stayed buoyant until almost completely full, then the last

Trump is a foreign weapon system

Today, the outgoing Chief Executive of the United States continued the decapitation of the national defense establishment with the ‘termination’ via tweet of the Secretary of Defense, Mark Esper. Rumors of leadership changes at DOJ and CIA are also mentioned. The National Command Authority is fluxing with an obviously mentally incapacitated President and Cabinet officials

Electronic Surveillance and COVID

Many years ago in graduate school I wrote a paper about the ‘Transhumanist’ movement and the development of omnipotent monitoring technology. While writing the paper, I looked through some patents (prior to 2010) and found that Google and other technology companies planned to use electronic device cameras and microphones to analyze audio and video from

Extra-Constitutional Authority

In an earlier post I commented about the clarity present in the Constitution as it relates to our election system. I also pondered a scenario where a President might use direct communication tools to circumvent Constitutional authority in order to raise armed groups. I indicated this was a treasonous activity. I actually think this has

Trump’s Taxes

The New York Times had several print pages dedicated to detailing Donald Trump’s personal and business Federal taxes over the past twenty years. I found the article to confirm what I had suspected and what had previously been reported. He has used an aggressive approach on classification of business expenses and has so many corporate

Trump does not have to ‘accept’ the election

I actually find the continued commentary about Trump’s willingness to ‘accept election results’ as a form of black comedy. Trump, or any President, does not really have a choice in the matter as once the electors show, cast ballots, and Congress counts those ballots, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court is going to inaugurate

California to ban heat engines in 15 years

The governor of California has taken an aggressive step to position the State by banning the sale of gasoline powered cars within 15 years. The problem with his approach is simply that he assumes that electric vehicles do not contribute to global warming, which is totally false. Here are some things that should have been

Schindler’s List and Hotel Rwanda

The Sunday New York Times had more detail on the kidnapping of Paul Rusesabagina, the real life main protagonist of the movie ‘Hotel Rwanda’. While film adaptations of real life events dramatize and may exaggerate heroic acts, there is a wide consensus that Mr. Rusesabangina saved over 1200 lives through his quick thinking during the

Protesting versus Sedition

The Attorney General made headlines a few days ago suggesting that Federal Prosecutors start to charge protestors nationwide with Sedition, a very serious Federal Felony. The news media seemed to be immediately outraged and thought this was an infringement on First Amendment expression and was totalitarian on the part of the Department of Justice. The
