False Prophets, Sheep, Wolves & Fruit


House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. (AP Photo/Matt Rourke)
“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?” Matthew 7:15 & 16.

Blind to the “fruit” of the current work of Republicans House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, many Trump supporters have absolutely no doubt that their man, Pres. Trump, will provide a cornucopia of sumptuous things (fruit) among them: expulsion of “illegal” Muslim immigrants, creation of “good” jobs, “America First” foreign policy and revocation of Obamacare with a replacement Trumpcare program that will guarantee “beautiful healthcare” at reasonable prices for everyone.

Now that Sen. McConnell has unveiled his Trumpcare bill we have some idea of his view, along with Rep. Paul Ryan’s view, of a worthy replacement for their hated Obamacare program.

Thanks to these two men the Senate now has a bill for consideration that is without equal on the biblical scale of evil. If adopted, it will be so hurtful to the most vulnerable, powerless Americans that one must be forced to consider these two leaders and their Republican followers in the House and Senate will rank among the most evil and hateful humans to have lived upon this earth.

Yes, men do gather grapes of thorns and figs of thistles. And their names are: House Speaker Paul Ryan and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Soon a Competitor to the Companies Customers Hate the Most

It doesn’t seem possible but it has happened. The evil party, the Republicans, managed to allow this one out the gate… or, my mind is simply not warped enough and I’m just missing how they will play out their next scam. After all, the Republicans never miss a chance to screw the little people.

Anyway, here’s the story: the Federal Communications Commission has given OneWeb permission "to provide broadband internet service to the United States with a constellation of 720 low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites using Ku- and Ka-band spectrum."

Translated, that means that two of the most hated companies in the USA, the big cable companies, Comcast and AT&T, may soon (beginning in 2018) have a viable competitor that can deliver Internet connectivity anywhere in the world via a fleet of some 720, low-cost satellites.

Big Karma meets Big Cable? My, My, My!

Checkout WorldVu Satellites Limited, d/b/a OneWeb for the background information and investors. These guys can actually deliver.

Saving Capitalism from Itself... Divine Intervention Required


Profiteering is illegal in some states. One is Florida.

Florida says those who have essential things like gasoline and food are not permitted to sell them at outrageous prices during an emergency, such as a hurricane. Even in Florida, a state not exactly well known for human rights or consumer protection, vendors are not allowed to rip off the public during a “declared” emergency.

So, what happens when the emergency is of the personal type? You know, like an illness. Say, kidney disease or liver cancer?

Well, in the good ole USA you are out of luck. Because the vendors, in this case Big Pharma people, can and do charge outrageous prices for life-sustaining and life-saving drugs which are only available through them. And, since the beginning of time, they have gotten away with it. (1.)
Please see reference 1 below.
To cover their tracks in the past they have declared that they must pay the heavy cost of their research and protect themselves from generic copying of their proprietary formulas. But when one ciphers out the actually dollars spent, that number is bogus because the industry actually spends more to market products than to develop them. (2.)

Please see reference 2 below.
It’s really an everyday example of profiteering by those that have over those who need. The difference, of course, is that Big Pharma is big - really, really big, compared to that tiny, Florida gas station owner.

No, Big Pharma is ripping Americans off to the tune of billions of dollars every year. And, has been doing it for years and years.

Believe it or not when Mr. Trump was a candidate for president he declared to the voting public that once he took over he would allow “importation of less expensive drugs into the U.S. to help bring drug prices” back down to earth.

The assumption that people, such as myself, made back then was that Trump says he would actually try to curtail profiteering by the big pharma and insurance industries to bring an itty-bitty bit of relief to the multitude of lowly, ill Americans.

Well, chalk another one up on the Big Deceptions Board. Mr. Trump appears to have made a sharp U-turn in favor of Big Pharma and the insurance people, selling out his supporters and the rest of us to the ravages of whatever illness we’ve contracted. (3.)

The whole story reminds me of a comment a friend made a few years back. I asked him why a CEO would take advantage of the buying public by outrageously overcharging for his product - which was only available from him. My friend gave this enlightening answer: “Because he can.”

No matter the industry, product or service, the American system provides few protections from profiteering. Now, President Trump has assured us… the average lowly, poor people… that we should expect to see profiteering sky rocket in the days ahead.

Contemplating how all this will play out for the countless people who are forced to choose paying for some life sustaining drug vs. putting food on the table (4.), my brain has become a bowl of jelly.

So, to help reconstitute it, my optimistic-self ferreted out a solution. Here’s how it goes…

Somewhere in the land where Jesus lived an archaeologist uncovered a wonderful artifact. Dusting it off, she held it in her hand and was immediately surprised as it seemed to come to life as the sunlight illuminated it.

She noted words, in Latin, and images of a balance scale inscribed on the sides of the small pyramid shaped object.

Beatus vir Dei es humilium respice: quoniam ipsi haereditate possidebunt terram.
Blessed is a man of God, look upon them that are humble, for they shall inherit the earth.

As she was translating the words in her mind she instantly recognized them as the third Beatitude from Christ’s Sermon on the Mount, which is usually translated as, “Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth”.

At the same time her smart phone buzzed into life with a text message: “Place this into the hand of the leaders of your corporations, banks, merchants of all kinds, government officials and clergy. It will instantly tell you the extent of their fraud and profiteering which they in turn must repay to every average, lowly person”.

Interesting, I thought. God* has given capitalism the tool it needs to police itself and eliminate the systematic avarice it sustains.

Do you think it will be used?

Nah. Not a chance.

It's the "inexcusable, stupid, incompetence" part!

So.

It’s just politics.

It’s normal for politicians to B.S., grovel, do the bidding of their largest moneymen, take big-dollar jobs as a lobbyist from the corporations they once oversaw, etc. Yes, that’s all normal.

But the other day I realized that the game has seriously changed.

No, not because the money is now so above and beyond comprehension.

No, this time we have reached a tipping point in the political world of sleaze.

It’s much more than the usual sleaze. It’s sleaze combined with downright evil, hatred for the poor and minorities of all kinds, plus astounding greed combined with treason… plus inexcusable, stupid, incompetence.

Americans can tolerate everything, of course... except the inexcusable, stupid, incompetence part.

Has your tipping point been tipped yet?

The $3.6 Trillion Payback - How It's Supposed to Work

Once again Dad spoke to me last night... just like he did on the night of 14 Feb 2015.

Like the last time, I want to reiterate that to best of my knowledge I’m not a Native American. But, I’m without a doubt a Native American dreamcatcher believer.

In last night’s dream my father once again handed me a document and said, “Ron, you’ll know what to do with this.”

It was a legal document, a contract. And, once again, contrary to most contracts this one was not complicated. Nor, was it written in “legalize”, in small type, and pages long. No, this contract was simple, direct and “enforceable”.

The contract read: “Those who benefit are required to pay all costs involved and compensate every injured person.”

This time his message was focused on how we allow our government to permit businesses - some large and some small - to pollute our environment, siphon off our resources without paying for them, defraud us with bad products / terrible services and rip us off in a multitude of other ways.

Further, and more importantly, the contract demanded payment to all those injured by the manufacturers of sugary drinks - companies like the Coca-Cola Company & PepsiCo – to help cover the costs related to the diabetes epidemic they helped unleashed upon the world.

For one year, 2016, the total cost of healthcare for just one sugar-related disease in the United States, diabetes, is estimated at $825 billion.

Going back to 1886 when Coke was founded and 1893 when Pepsi Cola was first sold to the public, the amount comes to $3.6 trillion.

That is $3.6 trillion owed by these two corporations for their role in selling diabetes-causing sugary drinks to the American People.

My dream told me to Follow the Money and see to it, beginning with the soft drink companies, that those who benefited from the all forms of predatory capitalism pay their debts back to the American People - individually not to some government entity.

Interesting, I thought. That's $3.6 trillion to be distributed to the American People to cover a portion of the cost of illnesses caused by sugary drinks.

So... that‘s how Real Free Market American Capitalism is supposed to work.

Regenerating Teeth and Skin

Gort... at work... saving Klaatu, The Day the Earth Stood Still, (1951)
For a multitude of reasons one of the best movies I saw during my childhood was the 1951 version of The Day the Earth Stood Still. I liked the message, of course, and the mind boggling “ray” that Gort used to disintegrate weapons and a tank.

But, even more, I like the scene when Gort turns on some fantastic device and brings Klaatu back to life. That one stuck with me for all these years.

While we have yet to develop the “bring back from the dead” technology that revived Klaatu, we are making some advances.

For instance, PolarityTE’s recent announcement that they created a way to “fully regrow skin after third-degree burns”.

And,

About your root canals… they eventually will give you some trouble and your teeth will have to come out. Still, you may be among the lucky due to the researchers at Oregon Health & Science University (Portland, Oregon). They have develop a process to engineer artificial blood vessels which are used to help regenerate teeth, possibly changing the way root canal treatments will be done in the future.”

Here are the stories:

Humans may be able to regrow skin after severe burns

 “While reconstructive surgery techniques have improved greatly over the last decade or two, there's one goal that remains elusive: actual regrowth of human skin. But now, scientists may be one step closer: Yesterday, Salt Lake City-based biotech company Polarity TE, Inc. announced that they had 'regenerated full-thickness, organized skin and hair follicles in third degree burn wounds' in pigs."

As far as we know, this is the first time anyone's been able to fully regrow skin after third-degree burns. According to PolarityTE, the SkinTE technique works by taking a biopsy of the patient's non-damaged skin, though it's not exactly clear how the healthy skin is reintroduced into the wound. The (somewhat graphic) photos on their website show the progression of regeneration, eventually covering the entire wound with no scarring and regrowth of all layers of skin, including hair follicles.”

Study: Use of prefabricated blood vessels may revolutionize root canals

“While root canals are effective in saving a tooth that has become infected or decayed, this age-old procedure may cause teeth to become brittle and susceptible to fracture over time. Now researchers at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) in Portland, Oregon, have developed a process by which they can engineer new blood vessels in teeth, creating better long-term outcomes for patients and clinicians.”

“Their findings published online today in the journal Scientific Reports.”

“More than 15 million root canals are conducted annually in the United States. The current procedure involves removing infected dental tissues and replacing them with synthetic biomaterials covered by a protective crown.”

Why Worry about Russian Hackers? We Have the Republicans!


The Republican National Committee gave $1 million to a company to target American voters and sway them to see life the Republican way during the past election.

The company collect info on nearly 200 million U.S. citizens.

Unfortunately, they stored all that data, including birth dates, contact info and addresses on a publicly accessible Amazon server... without even the simplest password protection.

Just think about it a second.

Without protection on a public server.

So, those "Russian hackers" didn't need to work very hard. They must have thought they were in seventh heaven.

Here's the story:

GOP-hired data company leaked information on 198 million citizens
"Data from the largely conservative Deep Root Analytics, a company that strategizes how to target audiences for political advertisements, was exposed this month. Information on nearly 200 million US citizens, over 60 percent of the population, was contained in the leak."

"Discovered by an analyst with the cybersecurity company UpGuard, the data was stored on a publicly accessible Amazon server. More than a terabyte of that data was not password protected. The data included citizens' contact information, addresses, birthdays, and analyses used to predict how they felt about controversial political topics like gun control and abortion."

Back to Paris 241 years later… Americans looking for help

Reprising Ben Franklin’s visit to France in 1776, Americans are once again back in Paris looking for help and, differing from Dr. Franklin’s mission, to reassure the world that Americans are not all as stupid as their President.

The message is that American cities, states and regions know what is best for them and how to work together to solve the problems which universally confront them. That is why, in the face of federal government inaction and downright stupidity, city mayors (on a world-wide basis) have come together in their best interests to solve the problems which confront them all. And, it’s not only local and regional governments. Major corporations long ago determined that their best interests would be served if they worked together toward sustainable solutions to world problems, including energy, and deal with climate change issues. See: World Business Council for Sustainable Development.

I’ve written about these positive efforts here, Global Local, and the multi-trillion dollar opportunity that sustainability offers here, Our Legacy Will Be Opportunity.

Now comes the latest. In the face of President Trump’s outright stupidity the U.S. mayors, governors, corporations and the vast majority of the American  people are once again making it clear that they will continue with their efforts to “reduce America’s greenhouse gas emissions to 26% below 2005 levels by 2025”.

It makes me supremely relieved to read of this happening. And it reminds me of a time long ago when Americans traveled to Paris looking for help to sustain their new republic. Back then, they found the help needed in France. Today, we’ve gone to Paris join with the rest of the world looking for help to overcome the stupidity we have allowed to rule our nation.

“The American government may have pulled out of the agreement, but the American people remain committed to it — and we will meet our targets,” former New York Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg, a special envoy for cities and climate change to the United Nations, said Friday after meeting in Paris with French President Emmanuel Macron and Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo.

“It will be a heavy lift. States and (160) cities would need to meet a pledge to reduce America’s greenhouse gas emissions to 26% below 2005 levels by 2025, America’s self-declared target under the deal.”

“Even with buy-in from the federal government, there were doubts about hitting that nonbinding target. Trump has made it a lot more complicated by spurning the accord — but not impossible.”*

Paint Makes Hydrogen Fuel from H20 & Sunlight


Distinguished Professor Kourosh Kalantar-zadeh and Dr Torben Daeneke with a pot of solar paint and a piece of glass with the paint applied. Photo credit: Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University.

Leave it to the innovative and out-the-box creative Australians. They’ve done it again by creating a paint that generates hydrogen fuel from water vapor and sunlight.

I want some!!

Here’s the story…

“Researchers have developed a solar paint that can absorb water vapour and split it to generate hydrogen – the cleanest source of energy."

“The paint contains a newly developed compound that acts like silica gel, which is used in sachets to absorb moisture and keep food, medicines and electronics fresh and dry."

“But unlike silica gel, the new material, synthetic molybdenum-sulphide, also acts as a semi-conductor and catalyses the splitting of water atoms into hydrogen and oxygen."

“Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University (Melbourne, Australia) lead researcher Dr Torben Daeneke said: “We found that mixing the compound with titanium oxide particles leads to a sunlight-absorbing paint that produces hydrogen fuel from solar energy and moist air."

Informational Copies and Water - Breakthrough Technology

IC Medicals' Breakthrough Technology
Imagine, you’re in the middle of nowhere and you’ve run out of your holistic meds. Without them, you will certainly be hurting.

No need to worry, just go online, download a free holistic medical remedies file from http://www.newpharm.com/catalog/, copy it to a CD, place a glass of water on it, and within 30 minutes to an hour, drink your holistic remedy.

Now, that is outright astounding.

This innovative technology is brought to you by IC Medicals.*

Explained Professor Gerald Pollack, University of Washington, Seattle, “The IC project began efforts in 2009 and have since taken part amongst the Conference on Physics, Chemistry and Biology of Water over the last four years.“

Dr. Gerald Pollack, University of Washington, Seattle
Dr. Pollack continued, “IC project scientific research has shown that electromagnetic signals can impart "information" into water, therefore having effects on biological systems and application in material science.  The idea of informational medicine is nothing less than astounding. The IC team is dedicated to developing new approaches in medicine that will change the way we think about medicine itself. With support from the DST Fund, "IC Medicals" project has successfully established an integrated global-medical, crowd-sourcing platform, implementing into wide scale practice the use of Informational Copies of Biologically Active Substances for treatment and prophylaxis of various diseases.”

“An IC Medicals team of professionals were assembled and technical centers were equipped with ‘Informational Copies‘ informed with active properties of medicines, which have been made available for patient-practitioner download and use. Websites connected to technical centers have been designed and launched in multiple languages www.icmedicals.com etc.”

“With help of a personal computer or handheld device, IC-medical sites allow internet accessible patient-practitioners the ability to receive the "Informational Copies" from the IC Medicals technical center.”

"Informational copies" technologies has practical application in additional fields as well as medicines, including the health industry, agriculture, and others.

In addition to the IC Catalog** of free informational copies (IC) of many medical remedies, called, “Infoceuticals”, IC Medical is testing several preparations. Go here for more information.

IC Medicals Presentation 8/2014


* Note this IC Medicals Caveat
Why IC Medicals should not completely take place of pharmaceuticals? What effect should one expect?
“Informational Copies provide beneficial effects in not exactly the same way as chemical preparations. Much like a homeopathic remedy, IC action on a body has a different and more subtle mechanism. As a result, if one takes a pharmaceutical and an Informational Copy at the same time, effects are shown to be complementary and supportive. The time required to experience beneficial effects of IC's is different for every patient, disease and stage of treatment. Individuals may experience immediate results and may also take up to 14 days for desired effect. IC Medicals is recommended only as an additional supportive therapy and should not to replace your current medical regimen as directed by your physician." http://www.icmedicals.com/

**The IC Catalog
“Presented in this library are free informational copies (IC) of your most popular medical remedies. Known as "Infoceuticals", these quantum level informational copies of popular pharmaceuticals and medicinal plants have been shown effective in numerous clinical studies.“ http://www.newpharm.com/catalog/

When all else fails, reboot.

That’s a lesson I learned many years ago. When my Mac or PC went on the fritz I worked endless hours trying to get things working again so I could make my deadline. Nothing I could do solved the problem… no service tech… no software upgrade… etc. Zero.

Then I remembered… unplug the d**mn thing!

That usually worked and my computer was up and running once again.

The other day the thought occurred to me that we should try rebooting our failed political system. Since both parties are under the thumb of the mighty .001% and they have all of everything now. Well then, maybe we can get things back on track once again by rebooting… unplug and turn things back on.

We have nothing to lose and everything to gain. So, let’s reboot.

Why Do Republicans Hate Americans? (New Republican Party Logo & Tag)


ALTERNATIVE NEWS FLASH...
From an anonymous source, deep within the White House… the Republican Party will soon release its new logo and descriptive tagline. Our source said, “It’s way past time for Republicans to present our true selves to the public. This new logo and tagline reflects who we are and what we believe about the people of the United States… and maybe the world, too. And, if people don’t like it, it’s not our fault. Obama never release a new logo and tagline for the Democrats. He was weak! But, we are strong and that’s why we unveiled this!”

Why do Republicans Think We are Scum?
No one really knows the deep psychological reasons why Republicans hate Americans so much and think we are all scum. But just form today's headlines, here are three stories that confirm the facts of life:

To this day, these crimes remain unsolved and the perpetrators continue to elude justice.

Seein' the USA in My Electric Car


Just like Dinah Shore did back in the long ago, I'm planning on "Seein' the USA"... but in my electric car.

Thanks to Purdue University (West Lafayette, IN) researchers, the day may soon be near when I can drive my electric car cross-country, with no fear of runin' out of juice in the middle of nowhere. Because, I'll be able to re-juice at any gas station.

“(Dr.) John Cushman, Purdue University distinguished professor of earth, atmospheric and planetary science and a professor of mathematics, presented the research findings “Redox reactions in immiscible-fluids in porous media – membraneless battery applications” at the recent International Society for Porous Media 9th International Conference in Rotterdam, Netherlands.”

“Cushman co-founded Ifbattery LLC (IF-battery) to further develop and commercialize the technology.

“Designing and building enough of these recharging stations requires massive infrastructure development, which means the energy distribution and storage system is being rebuilt at tremendous cost to accommodate the need for continual local battery recharge,” said Eric Nauman, co-founder of Ifbattery and a Purdue professor of mechanical engineering, basic medical sciences and biomedical engineering. “Ifbattery is developing an energy storage system that would enable drivers to fill up their electric or hybrid vehicles with fluid electrolytes to re-energize spent battery fluids much like refueling their gas tanks.”

“The spent battery fluids or electrolyte could be collected and taken to a solar farm, wind turbine installation or hydroelectric plant for re-charging.

“Instead of refining petroleum, the refiners would reprocess spent electrolytes and instead of dispensing gas, the fueling stations would dispense a water and ethanol or methanol solution as fluid electrolytes to power vehicles,” Cushman said. “Users would be able to drop off the spent electrolytes at gas stations, which would then be sent in bulk to solar farms, wind turbine installations or hydroelectric plants for reconstitution or re-charging into the viable electrolyte and reused many times. It is believed that our technology could be nearly ‘drop-in’ ready for most of the underground piping system, rail and truck delivery system, gas stations and refineries.”

Dinah Shore "See the USA in your Chevrolet" - 1953



The song "See The U.S.A. In Your Chevrolet" (title as filed for 1950 copyright) is a commercial jingle from c. 1949, with lyrics and music by Leo Corday (ASCAP) and Leon Carr (ASCAP), Written for the Chevrolet Division of General Motors. The song was the Chevrolet jingle sung on the show Inside U.S.A. with Chevrolet by Chevrolet's real-life husband-wife duo, Peter Lind Hayes and Mary Healy, years before it became associated with Dinah Shore through Chevrolet's decade-long sponsorship of her television shows. Dinah Shore sang the song after 1952, and it became something of a signature song for her. Later the song was also sung by male spokesman Pat Boone on his Pat Boone-Chevy Showroom (ABC) from 1957 through 1960. When the games of the Los Angeles Dodgers were televised in the 1960s, commercials were aired with the song sung by John Roseboro and Don Drysdale, whose singing careers, announcer Vin Scully said, were "destined to go absolutely nowhere."

Thank You Mr. Musk


Dear Mr. Musk,

Thank you.

By ending your participation as one of President Trump’s CEO business advisors you underscore his “loser” status as well as his inability to comprehend the needs of global businesses nor the interests of people worldwide. He will no leech off your hard-earned, positive reputation as a “winner”.

"Elon Musk is a man of his word. After today’s announcement that the Trump administration is pulling out of the historic Paris climate agreement, Musk sent a tweet out confirming that he will be resigning from the presidential advisory councils on which he sits, as he promised yesterday."
