Jacques F. Vallee
Dr. Jacques F. Vallee was a senior researcher at the DARPA-funded Augmentation Research Center at SRI at the very beginning of the RV program initiated by Dr. Puthoff and Russell Targ in 1971. Given his long-standing interest in consciousness research, he became informally associated with the program and is credited by Ingo Swann for suggesting the approach that led to the coordinate remote viewing protocol. In the mid-eighties, Dr. Vallee was brought back to SRI as a consultant. He was cleared for Grill Flame, went through formal training with Ingo Swann, and contributed to the methodology research that Dr. Ed May later led at SAIC. His experience spans the entire life of the program and gives him a special position as an observer and commentator on the reality of remote viewing.
Dr. Vallee also has long been interested in the UFO phenomenon and has earned the reputation of being one of the most rigorous and credible researchers in the field. He was the model for the French scientist figure played by Francois Truffaut in Steven Speilberg's classic film "Close Encounters of the Third Kind."
Past Shows:
UFO Gatherings
In the first half of the program, George Knapp was joined by legendary ufologist Jacques Vallee, who discussed a recent discrete gathering of international UFO experts that was not mentioned to the public. In the latter half, writer, reporter and media personality, Lee Speigel, reflected on a special meeting he had with the UN in 1978 (along with Jacques Vallee) where he presented his case about UFOs. ...

Host: George KnappAncient UFOs / After Disclosure
In the first half of the program, George Knapp was joined by legendary Ufologist Jacques Vallee for a discussion on UFO sightings from biblical-era antiquity through the year 1879. Over the course of the conversation, he also talked about remote viewing and provided his take on the Extraterrestrial Hypothesis (ETH), crash retrievals and disclosure. In the latter half of the show, authors Richard Dolan and Bryce Zabel talked about their new book After Disclosure, which examines what life will be like after the reality of UFOs is revealed. ...

Host: George KnappUFOs: Contact & Disclosure
A special 4-hour show devoted to UFOs featured noted author and UFO researcher Jacques Vallee in the first half. Three of his classic works on alien contact were recently reprinted by Anomalist Books.He spoke about his investigation into a 1977 wave of sightings in the Brazilian Amazon. People were terrorized by small and large aerial objects, some of which shot out harmful beams. Intelligence officers from the Brazilian Air Force were brought in during the incidents, and a doctor treated around 40 people who were exposed to the beams, he reported.Too much emphasis has been placed on the Roswell Incident, which has a lot of contradictory testimony, Vallee commented. Cases which have yielded physical evidence have more scientific interest, he noted, detailing the study of a molten metal that was found after an unidentified aerial object was witnessed in Council Bluffs, Iowa. Vallee cast a critical eye on several other well-known UFO subjects. His study of the Billy Meier mat ... More »

Consumers Energy Gets Ready For Season's First Winter Storm And Offers Storm Preparation Tips
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Dec. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Consumers Energy is reminding customers what to do before, during and after a winter storm, as the utility prepares for an expected storm late Thursday and into Friday.
Consumers Energy is making preparations respond to any electric service interruptions that may result from the winter season's first major storm to hit Michigan. High winds and heavy, wet snow may result in power outages, but the utility is prepared.
"Our customers can rest assured that they can count on us to be ready when this storm hits," said Garrick Rochow, Consumers Energy vice president of energy delivery. "We are mobilizing company and contract personnel and equipment to be in place for rapid response to any customer power outages."
At the same time, Rochow said, it's advisable for customers to be prepared for this and other winter storms to keep themselves and their family members safe. "It's important that we take time to plan for severe weather activity," Rochow said. "Being prepared can minimize the impact of a storm and help you and your family to stay safe." Be PreparedKeep several days of food that does not need cooking or refrigeration. Remember to stock up on infant formula and baby food if you have children. If you plan on using canned goods, be sure to have a can opener that does not require electricity. Keep several days of water on hand (about 5 gallons per person per day) in case your pipes freeze or your loose power. Charge electronic devices and cell phones that can be used to report an emergency or check the status of a power outage or local emergency assistance. If possible, have an additional cell phone battery charged to act as a backup.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Japan has vowed to work with Jordan to secure the release of a Japanese journalist held by Islamic State militants after the killing last week of another Japanese captive, but it reiterated that it would not give in to terrorism. The hostage crisis has become a test for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who took power in 2012 pledging to bolster Japan's global security role. Abe on Sunday condemned the killing of Japanese citizen Haruna Yukawa as "outrageous" and called for the release of veteran correspondent Kenji Goto, captured by Islamic State militants in Syria. "We would like to work together with the Jordanian government to secure the release of Goto," Yasuhide Nakayama, state minister for foreign affairs, told reporters in Jordan late on Monday.
TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — Gunmen stormed a luxury hotel in Libya's capital Tuesday, killing at least five foreigners and three guards, authorities said.

I really wanted some cute red rain boots... well these Wellie's were not the cute red rain boots I was looking for. I am 5ft tall and have fairly large calves. These boots were too long for me and too tight at the top. When I got them on I could hardly move and when I walked they made rude noises out the top of the boots. Taking them off was no easy task either. I'm really disappointed that they didn't work. Maybe for taller women they would be better.

I have been wearing Crocs for about 4 years. I have planters fasciitis and wearing other sandals or shoes really cause heel pain, but not when I wear my Crocs. I wish I had bought the next size up, I thought I matched the size to what my old Crocs were, so my new Crocs are a little shorter than my older pair and the heel strap seems to be too short. I also buy Crocs for my 11 year old daughter. She is very flat footed and has to wear a stabilizing tennis shoe. The Crocs do very well for her flat foot because it molds to her foot and supports her intire foot evenly. She is very hard on her shoes and needs to get new shoes about every 4 months or so. The last pair of Crocs I got for her actually got too little before they were wore out!

text: As a member of the School Building Committee ("the Committee"), I was pleased to listen to the concerns expressed by some citizens at the meeting held on March 16. I would like to share the concerns that were raised, as well as the answers provided, with the hopes of clarifying misinformation with facts and data. The project data, including the most recent Schematic Design submission which includes costs, engineering reports and rubrics are available to the public at the Storrs Library. Clarification was requested regarding a potential failed vote on June 8. If for some reason the MSBA did allow us a second chance, the second vote would be for the same project, not an alternative. Additionally, if the vote fails on June 8, we start from the very beginning of the process by submitting a new Statement of Interest with absolutely no guarantee of funding or timing. As stated in the MSBA Policy Statement regarding the impact on MSBA funding if a City, Town or Regional School District fails to vote to appropriate funding for the proposed project as defined in the Project Scope and Budget Agreement, within the deadlines established by the MSBA: "The MSBA appreciates the challenges that school districts face, but the MSBA's regulations specifically include this 120-day deadline for a local appropriation to ensure that the MSBA's capital program funds are targeted toward projects and school districts that are ready and able to make the financial commitment and move forward in a timely manner." One citizen suggested that the cost of the project would actually be in the $80 to $100 million dollar range. When asked how he came up with these numbers, he explained that we need to build contingencies into the overall cost of the project. The Committee agrees and the Owners Project Manager clearly explained that the overall project cost of $78.5 million already includes those contingencies and that a full accounting of the costs and assumptions 300 or so line items are fully articulated in the Schematic Design submission (available at Storrs Library). Also questioned was how our Fixtures, Furniture &Equipment ("FF&E") costs could cover all of the fees associated with this project. FF&E does not include fees but rather furniture, fixtures and equipment. Another citizen suggested we renovate the building for $40 million and get half back from the state. This is an incorrect statement. First, renovation of the facility is not the approved project. Further, irrespective of opinions on costs, independent estimators put the approximate cost to renovate the building at about $60 million plus an additional non-reimbursable $3 million for temporary/modular classrooms. This does not include the additional $10 million renovation to the '70s wing that is not covered (nor would ever be covered under any of the options presented) by the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA) and it will take approximately five years to complete. The new construction estimates for the preferred and approved solution is $65 million with no need for temporary classrooms with an estimated timeline of 2.5 years for completion. Again, this does not include the '70s wing. These cost estimates were reviewed by the MSBA for accuracy as well. In closing, the School Building Committee has been charged with the task of putting forth the best long term solution for Longmeadow High School. There has been an incredible amount of work, deliberation and discussion, as well as numerous opportunities for public input, and the approved solution is the best long-term, sustainable and economical solution for the entire community. The fate of this project is now in the hands of the voters, but it is critical that the voters are making informed decisions based on facts.

Kyo is cool in my prospective, probable because I like cats like Tohru

Kyo is cool in my prospective, probable because I like cats like Tohru
Momiji is a trasnsexual? Hatsuharu is gay? Ayame is...? Whaaaaaaiiiiiit a minute. Where where WHERE are you getting your info? :p
First of all: The term is Bishonen. It means (literally) "pretty boy". So yeah, guys in anime tend to be on the girlie side.
Second: Transexual: Noun:
"A person who has a psychological urge to belong to the opposite sex and to live as a member of the opposite sex and who may be motivated by the urge to acquire the necessary physical appearance (as by surgery or hormone use) or to adopt the social role typical of the opposite sex."
-Merriam Webster Medical Dictionary
Or, after the fashion of Anime: Ranma is a transexual...(Though I don't think he has a choice...)
I think maybe you mean transvestite, or crossdresser.
And no, Momiji is not a crossdressor. He just has a wicked sense of fashion (and honestly-he IS too young to be wearing the boy's school uniform-I agree with Haru on that) and hasn't grown out of that 'giggly' age. Comon people, he's a little kid. :thumb:
Now, I have to make a concession here with Ayame. While what he normally wears around isn't exactly manly, it isn't women's clothing either (you might as well say that Okita is a cross dressor because he wears a kimono-you can't forget to make allowences for culture).
That said: The whole fan world did see Ayame in that wedding dress after all. ;) Ayame is Ayame, and no one (except maybe Yuki) is complaining. :D
Thirdly, and Lastly (for now): Haru isn't gay. What about Rin? And I didn't hear Haru ever tell Yuki "I'm in love with you." or "Aishiteru" or whatever. He said that Yuki was his first love, that Yuki was special to him. When you are six years old, gender doesn't matter because sex (hopefully) hasn't entered the equation yet. My first love was a girl-and I'm a prude.
Akito is...interesting. I keep hearing rumors, I wonder if the producers of the anime knew where the author was going when they drew Akito... But I'm going to shut up because I don't want to spoil anything.
Yell at me, flame me, whatever. I'm just saying that your source is being lied to if they're telling you that Momiji is a transexual and Hatsuharu is gay... Too little evedence, too many factors saying the opposite.
Not that that whole family doesn't have some serious issues.
I completely agree with you! Especially if you read or keep up with the translated manga online that comes out (I'll learn to read Japanese someday!). But Haru is not gay, and Momiji is not a transexual, which you explained earlier. Not that I have anything against it if they were, but in their cases they weren't.Quote:

Yes they needed to think a bit further on how they drew Akito! Lol!
I wish they could have finished the series though! Or have a sequel, but alas, they left it with too much closure to do so!
Ha, momiji is adorable, who cares what his reason is? (me...but Im nosy like that) But Haru, hmmm, Id have to say he's bisexual, (which I personally believe all ppl should be until theyve tried both, or if their celebit(Im sure i spelt that wrong)) And Ayame is, whatever he feels like he likes at the time? Plus, technically momiji is a transvestite if he is wearing womens clothing, (his style is kick-ass though!) And Kyo's adorable, but hes a flaming HETERO! Ugh... Yuki hmmm... lets not go there. Shigure, ha ha strait, but I think he could have a thing for a really femy guy, and thats why we love him! Uo-chan is a lesbian in the closet (with Hana!) but we dont care about them. Hatori is strait. But so far I only finished vol 4! (Yea I know omg, what a loser, but i have to pay for them u know!)

And I don't even want to get into an argument about what people 'should be'. You are what you are born as, live with it. If you can't learn to accept what you are, you have...well, maybe not problems, but definate issues. I have heard every argument in the book, and they all sound dumb to me.
Dang, and here I said I wasn't going to argue. :rolleyes: Gomen.
I still disagree with you about Haru...well, about all of them, on some level or another...but I'll get to that in a minute.
Ayame is Ayame. Personally, I think he's straight. Why is complicated. It has to do with the manga. He's just a...a....what is the word (?)...a flirt. I've know several people in my life who flirt with everyone, it's a personality type, not a sexuality thing.
Yuki is straight. There is no way on earth you can convince me otherwise.
Shigure is immature and has a...very odd sense of humor. Hatori is straight.
Uo and Hana? You have GOT to be kidding me. I had two friends when I was in high school. We effectively WERE Hana, Uo and Tohru. And all of us are straight. I just can't see Uo and Hana as an item. Granted, I try really hard to stay out of the love lives of minors even when they are fictional....
Besides: Can you really imagine the Curse allowing the Sohma's such a loophole as allowing them to be gay or bi or whatever when this same Curse has such a heavy influence on the rest of thier personality?
I've seen only episodes 1-19 and I really like it
I thought Ayame and shigure were gay....are they?
Lol I never thought of it that way but maybe that is why some of the characters seem to go to the gay side. You know they can't hug the other gender so I can hug the same gender lol. But I don't think some of the characters are gay. Kyo, Yuki, Hatori, Tohru, and her girlfriends I think are straight. I question the little half German guy sexuality though(I'm not saying he is gay just questioning it).Quote:

What makes you question Momiji? (I'n not criticizing you, just curious, he never struck me as gay...)

This doesn't require an officer or a police car - it is a cheap piece of equipment that can be produced and purchased in large quantities. The only limit to the ability of the police to surveil the citizenry would be limited only by the procurement budget, and would be far less limited than it is today. Further, these devices are easily concealed, whereas a police car, even an unmarked one, is far harder to hide. Essentially these devices give the police nigh-infinite, limitless, covert surveillance capabilities.

Re:Incorrect? (297 comments)
Well, I didn't say that you had the reading skills of a five-year-old, but as you just demonstrated that you do, I'll let that claim stand. I have already successfully dismantled each and every one of the points in your post. I wasn't sure about it - I had actually started rebutting some of them - but then I realized that I had, indeed, already answered every single one of those points. Go ahead and check if you don't believe me. At this point you're arguing in circles and chalking my unwillingness to bow to your refusal to face the facts to... male stupidity? Astounding. Truly astounding. It seems fairly obvious that you just Can't Understand Normal Thinking. I think my work here is done.
Re:Incorrect? (297 comments)
Botanically tomatoes are fruits - I have never argued this, and it is in fact part of the point that I initially raised - but here are just a few sources that back me up. As you can see, legally and culinarily speaking, there are a whole hell of a lot of people who consider a tomato a vegetable. This is a fact. This is inarguable. All of your "technically"s aren't going to change this. This is the point that I initially made, this is the point that I have continued to make, and this is the point that you have continued to deny in the face of overwhelming evidence. My ego is not particularly connected to what people think of tomatoes. Maybe you, on the other hand, should consider why yours is so connected to putting on blinders and denying simple facts as they are.
Re:Incorrect? (297 comments)
Walk into any restaurant today and ask for a fruit salad. Tell me how many serve you one that contains tomatoes and cucumbers.
The simple fact is that enough people calling a tomato a vegetable does, for all intents and purposes, mean that a tomato is considered a vegetable. You know why? Because of the point that I keep bringing up: nobody gives a flying fuck about the biological function of a piece of food. A word's meaning is whatever people make it; that's the way language works. If eaters, who vastly outnumber botanists, want to call tomatoes a vegetable, who are you to tell them that they are wrong? You're tilting at windmills. You can sit in your lab all day and wax scientific about how fruits are ovaries and that is just wonderful for you, but the simple fact is that when a chef asks you to hand him some vegetables he sure as shit means those cucumbers and tomatoes and peppers sitting right there, and when the people in the restaurant order grilled vegetables that is exactly what they expect. No amount of hooting about the deficit (wtf?) is going to change the fact that you're clearly a terrible cook.
Re:Incorrect? (297 comments)
I can see I won't get through to you, most likely because you are being deliberately obtuse through obstinacy. Congratulations, you have the arguing skills of a five year old. On reading this, I fully expect you to put your hands on your hips and pout.
Repeat after me: Culinarily speaking, nobody gives a shit what the biological function of an ingredient is. What people care about is its flavor profile and with what ingredients it mixes well.
Hell, even the government considers them vegetables. Face it. Your opinion on this matter is irrelevant.
Re:Incorrect? (297 comments)
My mistake. Here is your link.
Re:Incorrect? (297 comments)
Yes, I would actually like to cite precedent when forming my arguments. It seems like a reasonable way to do things. After all, if one are not arguing from precedent, one is simply pulling facts out of one's ass.
The fact that some precedents are flawed is no excuse for throwing out all precedents. I genuinely can't believe that anybody would put forth such a fallacious argument so I'm just going to leave that one be. You obviously hadn't thought it through and now I'm thinking it through for you. You're welcome. Obviously you would never have been in danger of being burned.
The facts that I laid before you, and which I will lay before you again, are that, culinarily speaking, a plant's biological purpose has nothing to do with how is is used in the kitchen. To argue that tomatoes and carrots are primarily found in sweet dishes or that pineapples and plums are normally found in savory dishes is to argue dishonestly. If you would make that argument, I would really see no point in replying to you. Citing aberrations only emphasizes the creativity of chefs and does nothing to change the culinary category under which something falls. Further, to call a pizza a "pizza pie" shows your ethnocentrism, as it is only a "pie" in English.
Tomatoes are the ovaries of plants. Biologically speaking, ovaries are fruits. The point that I have been trying to make all along is that chefs, for the most part, really could give two shits what a particular ingredient's biological purpose is. Does it go well in a salad? Then it's probably a vegetable. Does it make a good dessert? Then it's probably a fruit. "But wait!" I can hear you thinking, "What about fruit salads?"
I just got done arguing with one.
P.S. Slashdot isn't a "tech site." It is a "news for nerds" site. If you would like the tech section, here's a handy link for you. A chef can be every bit as nerdy as a physicist and he doesn't even have to give a shit about science to do it.
Re:Incorrect? (297 comments)
Well, I suppose I could point out all the ways in which you are wrong, but it would be a lot easier to point out the fact that you clearly don't know what you are talking about. See, I'm not the one who initially made the determination that tomatoes are not traditionally eaten with the dessert course and are rather served with the main course of a meal. I'm not the one who put a tax on fruits and then didn't tax tomatoes because they are not, traditionally, fruits. (That one would be the US Supreme Court.) I am, however, just relaying facts as they are, and you are getting all pedantic and trying to split hairs and ultimately it makes no difference because, again, you clearly don't know what you are talking about. As stated above, botanically speaking tomatoes are, yes, fruits because of their biological function. However, completely separate from that issue and backed up by centuries of tradition (and the fact that they taste fucking disgusting in a pie) is the fact that any chef worth his salt - hell, anybody who has any clue how to find his way around a kitchen - would know better than to conflate the biological function with a part of a plant with its proper usage in a dish. Now, if you could find me a savory lemon or a bag of mixed nuts that didn't contain a single peanut, maybe I would be willing to concede that there is a one-to-one mapping between biological and culinary function, but I really doubt whether that's going to happen.
Re:Incorrect? (297 comments)
Botanically, as tomatoes are the ovary of the tomato plant, they are considered to be fruits. However, culinarily, as they are not sweet and are primarily used in savory dishes, tomatoes are considered to be vegetables. The upshot of this is that no matter what you call them, you are wrong. Thanks, science!

Milan Jovanovic claims he does not want to be considered by Serbia until he is playing regularly at Liverpool.
The 29-year-old forward moved to Anfield as a free agent over the summer, fresh from catching the eye at the 2010 World Cup.
He has, however, struggled to make an impression in England and has quickly tumbled down the pecking order under Roy Hodgson.
Jovanovic insists he is prepared to fight for a place in the Reds side and has no plans to seek a move elsewhere just yet.
He is ruling out a return to international football any time soon, though, with it imperative that he gives his full attention to domestic duties.
Speaking after Serbia's 1-0 win over Bulgaria on Wednesday, Jovanovic told Sport: "Did I go to the airport to wish my friends good luck before the game in Sofia? No, because I didn't want to be in the spotlight for nothing. This isn't how I do things.
"I am 29 years old and I have a career which is quite good.
"But I know when I am not playing well and that is why I told my national coach (Vladimir) Petrovic that I don't want to be called up until I am playing first-team football at Liverpool.
"This is the honest thing to do and I wouldn't have it any other way."

Malaysia stock market and companies daily report (April 28, 2014)
Axiata On Track For Growth For Next 3 To 5 Years
- Axiata Group is on track to achieve a revenue growth trajectory of mid to high single digit in the next three to five years as it aligned four areas of its business – new services, expansion of digital services, mergers and acquisitions (M&As), and towers and civil infrastructure – to ensure that it is on target for continued growth.
- Axiata has invested heavily in data networks to generate more data revenue for this year and looks to digital services to contribute to growth in future.
- Notably, on M&As, it is looking at further consolidations in Cambodia, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, where it has a solid presence.
Significance: Despite the growth plans, cost reduction remains a primary focus as the telecommunication provider's higher cost is network, both in capital expenditure and operational expenditure.
Eco World Among Top 20 Developers In Malaysia
- Eco World Development Group will emerge amongst the country's top 20 developers, with 1,793 hectares of land generating RM43.5 billion in gross development value (GDV), following a corporate exercise.

- Pavilion Real Estate Investment Trust (Pavilion REIT) registered a realised net income of RM56.6 million for the first quarter ended March 2014, at 25.9 percent and 25 percent of consensus' full year estimates.
- Net property income grew 3.8 percent year-on-year to RM68.8 million, driven by higher retail rental on positive rental reversions, although it was lower than the 6.8 percent growth recorded in its top line.

Representing experts across various fields, University of Houston sources have expertise in an array of topics related to storms – before, during and after.
Houstonians to Face Wrath of 'Richard III' Oct. 29 - Nov. 7 at UH
He's the villain audiences love to hate. Richard, Duke of Gloucester, remains one of the Shakespeare's most memorable (and despicable) characters. This month, Houstonians will experience his wrath during the University of Houston School of Theatre & Dance's (SOTD) production of "Richard III."
The play will be performed Oct. 29 - Nov. 7 in UH's Wortham Theatre.
"Richard III" tells the story of the title character's unscrupulous rise to England's throne and the fate that awaits him once he is crowned king.
"The title character is the grandfather of great villains, everyone from Batman's The Riddler to Gordon Gekko to Michael Corleone," said Jack Young, the play's director and director of SOTD's graduate acting and directing program. "We love to see these people exert their will on the world, mixing guile and smarts and charisma to get their way. Then we get the added pleasure, having vicariously ridden with them to the top, to cut loose from them and see them get their proper rewards in the end."
The character of Richard has become iconic on stage and in film. He's not the prettiest character to depict considering his hunched back and deformed hand, but actors relish the role. Among those who have portrayed him are Sir Laurence Olivier, Sir Ian McKellan, F. Murray Abraham, Al Pacino and Kenneth Branagh. In this production, the title character will be played by Stefan Espinosa, SOTD master of fine arts candidate.
"Richard's charm and guile gives the first half a real comic rush," Young said. "Combined with murders and ghosts and epic curses, it's perfect for the Halloween season, a real Creep Show."
Tickets are $20, $15 for faculty, staff and alumni and $10 for students and seniors. They can be purchased by calling 713-743-2929.
WHAT: | "Richard III" |
WHEN: | 8 p.m., Oct. 29 - 30, Nov. 4, 5, 6 |

Ernie: Hey everybody! I'm going on a tiger hunt! I've got my trusty rusty telescope right here (squeaking noises in background). You wanna come along? Well, let's go then. (sound of door opening)
A tiger hunt can be fun, you just do what I do. Now first we're gonna walk down this road. Of course, you're not really on a road but you can pretend. Just stand up and walk around the room or walk in place without really going anywhere. Come on now, everybody walk. Are you walking with me? Good!
Okay, now we've got to climb this hill. Oh ... hee ... this is hard. Are you climbing with me? Good. There now here we are at the top of the hill. And now we can run down! Are you running with me? Okay!
Watch out there's a fence at the bottom of the hill, we'll have to jump it ... Alley-oop! We made it! Oh oh, we're here. we're walking through the tiger jungle. Oh boy. Oh there are a lot of mosquitoes here! Shoo mosquitoes! Shoo those mosquitoes away! Oh there's some on my arm. Slap those mosquitoes if they land on you. There, that's better.
Hey look, we've come to a big thicket of thorns. We're gonna have to crawl on our tummies to get through these thorns. You crawling with me? Good! Oops, I'm caught on a thorn (ripping sound) ooh ... there. Now we can get up because we're at the other side of the thicket and ... what is this?
We've come to the great jungle river! We're gonna have to swim for it. Ready to dive into the water? Ready, get set, jump! (splashing sounds) Here we go, swimming across the river! Oh my trusty rusty telescope is going to get even rustier. There, there, we made it. Okay, walk up on to the river bank. Here, oh look over there. It's a bunch of elephants. We'd better tiptoe past them. Are you tiptoeing with me? Good! There, okay now we're past the elephants. We should be near the tiger's house. Let's climb that tree so we can look around. You climbing with me? Okay. Here we go. All right, now here we are high in the tree. Let's look through my trusty rusty telescope and try to find that tiger. Look to the right. Look to the left. Look down ... hmmm ... I don't see a tiger.
Mr. Tiger: Good afternoon!
Ernie: Oops. There's a big furry striped animal in this tree with us.
Mr. Tiger: Roar!
Ernie: It's a tiger! RUN! Climb down the tree as fast as you can. He's following us - Run! Tiptoe past the elephants. Run down the river bank. Swim the jungle river. Climb up and cross through the thicket of thorns. Then slap the mosquitoes away. And run through the jungle. Now jump over the fence. Now run up the hill. Now run down the hill. Now open the door and (sound of door closing) ooh ... ahh ... we made it ... we're home ...
Bert: Hey, hi Ernie. Where you been?
Ernie: Oh Bert, don't ask!
(knocking on door)
Bert: Oh, I'll get it Ernie.
(sound of door opening)
Mr. Tiger: Roar!
Bert: Hi, Mr. Tiger. What do you want?
Mr. Tiger: Ernie forgot his trusty rusty telescope in my jungle!
(door closes)
Ernie: Oh, oh Bert!

Myths, Scares, Lies, and Deadly Innocent Frauds, Updated: Part Two
11:12 am in Uncategorized by letsgetitdone
(Author's Note: This post updates Part Two of a series reviewing Warren Mosler's book: The 7 Deadly Innocent Frauds of Economic Policy. The updating is prompted by a post by Hannah at DailyKos offering a ". . . a Review Sort of" of Warren's book.
Hannah's post begins by stating Warren's "7 deadly innocent frauds" (DIFs), and then goes on to point out that they are not innocent and to make a number of claims about Warren's beliefs which clearly indicate that she neither read his book, nor researched his actual positions stated frequently on his web site, nor bothered to note Warren's economic truths that his book counterposes to his DIFs. So, in this series, and because of the importance of his easily accessible book, I'm presenting a more detailed discussion of the frauds and the corresponding truths.)
In Part One of the series I covered the first dif: the idea that in order to spend money, the Government must first raise it through taxation, or borrow it. and the first truth:
"Government Spending is NOT operationally limited or in any way constrained by taxing or borrowing."
In this installment, I'll discuss Warren's next three difs.
What About Our Children and Grandchildren
Mosler's second dif is:
"With Government Deficits we are leaving our debt burden to our children."
This, of course, has been a scary common sense belief that those who don't want to solve social problems have used forever to persuade people not to implement progressive solutions to their problems. The problem is that in fiat money systems the meaning of deficits is entirely different than in commodity money systems.
The deficit is just the annual difference between Government revenue, including income from transactions with non-Governmental entities, and income from coin seigniorage; and Government spending in the non-Government sector. Most Government income comes from tax collections, so generally speaking there is no deficit when tax collections match Government spending. But even when the two don't match, if revenue from other sources, such as fees, property sales, seigniorage, and Federal Reserve profits repatriated to the Treasury close the gap between tax revenues and spending there still may be no deficit, and if seigniorage profits are great enough, there might even be a surplus. But unlike one which comes from tax revenues, such a surplus could be used to repay debt, or spend appropriations without destroying net financial assets in the private sector.
In commodity money systems, when income falls short of expenditures, we have a deficit tied to a commodity, and when the deficit accumulates year after year we have a national debt also tied to a commodity. To finance the debt, Governments in such systems must raise taxes to increase income, or borrow money to finance expenditures through debt. If they borrow money, however, the debt can only be paid back through increased revenue collections at some future time, or by more borrowing to pay debt obligations.
But, in fiat monetary systems, the situation is different. When Government expenditures exceed revenues in those systems, a deficit doesn't have to be reduced by increased tax revenues, or other transactional income, nor does it have to financed by borrowing. Instead, since money isn't limited by its relationship to a material commodity, the money necessary to make Government expenditures can just be created at will by the Government. It need not be the product of either increased taxes or debt financing, as it must be in commodity systems.
The significance of this idea, which is just the counterpoint to the first dif, that "Government Spending is NOT operationally limited or in any way constrained by taxing or borrowing," is that whatever Government deficits we leave to our children also need not be repaid by them through either further borrowing, or increased taxation. These deficits, just like our own can be negated by our children and grandchildren by creating whatever seigniorage profits or electronic money they need to negate them.
Of course, if they want to reduce their well-being, they can raise taxes or borrow money to handle those deficits. But what they do, and the precise size of the burden they choose to assume is up to them and has nothing to do with us, so long as they retain our fiat monetary system.
Warren Mosler expresses the counterpoint to the second dif in this way:
"Collectively, in real terms, there is no such burden. Debt or no debt, our children get to consume whatever they can produce."
That is, unless they choose not to produce it, because they raise taxes and cripple economic productivity, in a vain and misguided attempt to pay down a fiat money debt by destroying net financial assets in the private sector that might otherwise be used in more productive ways.
As Mosler points out: it is impossible for our children and Grandchildren to send any of the goods and services they produce back into the past to pay down the deficits we incur today. And he also points out that paying off the national debt in a fiat monetary system is merely a matter of accounting. As he says:
"Even briefer – to pay off the national debt the government changes two entries in its own spreadsheet – a number that says how many securities are owned by the private sector is changed down, and another number that says how many $US are being kept at the Fed is changed up. . . ."
Now, even though they should be, and could be, things aren't quite as simple as this in the US. It does work this way when a particular debt instrument is redeemed. But if the Treasury wanted to lower the level of the national debt, it cannot do this if the present pattern of laws, customs, policies, and practices related to dealing with debt instruments don't change. These amount to the "requirement" that the Government pay down debt by collecting more tax revenue than it spends. But if this "requirement" is followed, it will be impossible to pay down the debt, if that's what people want to do.
On the other hand, one of the implications of the 7 difs, is that whether or not the Government repays the debt subject to the limit doesn't matter for solvency. The Government has an equal capacity to deficit spend whether or not it pays off its debt. It's just a matter of Congressional Appropriations and continuing debt issuance to satisfy the current "requirement." There's no question of affordability either way, even though there are political and psychological issues involved in debt issuance, one of them being paying interest primarily to rich people and foreign nations, when there is no real need to do so.
In addition, even though the present pattern of laws, customs, policies, and practices related to dealing with debt instruments won't allow paying off the debt unless there is change. The good news is that the laws and the Constitution allow the debt subject to the limit to be paid, if we want to do that. This can be done by using Proof Platinum Coin Seigniorage (PPCS) to create the revenues needed to pay down debt without tanking the economy. The details are here, here, here, and in related posts.
In short, folks, there is no debt burden for our children and grandchildren. That there is, is a myth, a fairy tale, a dif, as Mosler terms it. It is not reality, and we ought not to make it reality by believing it and acting accordingly.
What About Our Savings?
The third Mosler dif is: "Government budget deficits take away savings." And the counterpoint to it is: "Government budget deficits ADD to savings." Warren points out that this is just Economics 101, when the Government spends dollars it transfers dollar credits to non-governmental sector entities. That is the nature of such transactions.
So it is just an accounting identity, true by definition, that an increase in the Government deficit, increases the dollars in the non-governmental accounts that have received the Government transfer. So, "Government deficits = increased 'monetary savings' for the rest of us. To the penny. This is accounting fact, not theory. . . ." It's also equally true, that Government surpluses = decreased monetary savings for the rest of us. This too, is accounting fact, and not theory.
The relationships between increased deficits and increased savings, and increased surpluses and decreased savings, are important because misunderstanding them, and accepting this third dif, is widespread, and very harmful. Because people believe that Government deficits take away from non-governmental savings and also investment, they also believe that Government deficits must be avoided and that Government surpluses are good.
So, this dif reinforces the doctrine that Government programs should be revenue neutral or even produce Governmental savings, a doctrine that if implemented will actually, in the absence of a positive balance of trade, which the US hasn't had in many years, immediately result in reduced non-governmental savings and investment, a deadly effect in recessionary times, when non-governmental savings that may be used for investment are sorely needed. Surpluses, because they detract from nongovernmental savings and investment, often cause recessions. Our most recent experience of this is with the Clinton surpluses which were followed by the recession in the waning days of the Clinton Administration that greeted George W. Bush when he took office.
Will Social Security Go Broke?
Mosler's fourth dif is one that is much in the News right now. It is that "Social Security is broken" and will, one day in the foreseeable future, run out of funding. This claim is used to persuade people to consider the idea that Social Security must be reformed, before the "trust fund" runs out of money. However, the truth is that there is no trust fund in the sense of a bank account at the Federal Reserve Bank containing SS funds. There are only social security accounts and entitlements accompanying these accounts guaranteed by the Federal Government.
Whether, or not the "trust fund" runs out of money or not, the Federal Government will still have to make payments to those entitled to receive Social Security payments or default on its legal obligations to pay SS retirees, a prospect in conflict with the 14th Amendment of the Constitution. And since Government money is, at bottom, "fiat money," the counterpoint to this dif is that "Government checks don't bounce," and that includes Social Security checks.
So, why is everyone so excited about the plight of Social Security? Why are they so sure that we need Social Security and, more broadly, entitlement reform? I think the answer, for people of good will, is their failure to understand the fiat monetary system, how it works, and what really makes money more or less valuable in such a system.
The source of value is not money itself. It is the valuable goods and services that are produced by the economy. As long as the economy keeps producing valued goods and services, the fiat money used for paying taxes, and as the medium of exchange will have value. And as long as it has value, the Government can keep making and spending it to increase economic activity when it flags, and using its taxing power and control over interest rates to dampen activity in case demand outstrips supply, and inflation occurs.
The function of Government in an economy with a fiat money system is to maintain economic activity at a level sufficient to produce the valued goods and services citizens want. When the Government doesn't spend enough to do that, it is failing to prevent or end economic downturns. When it spends so much that its spending exceeds the productive capacity of the economy, it is failing to prevent or end inflation.
Social Security and other safety net entitlements are one way of ensuring that demand will be high enough to maintain productive capacity. In recession and depression, they have a counter-cyclical function. They benefit the economy much more than they cost it. Entitlement reform that undermines the function of the safety net in keeping demand at a high level, for the sake of cutting Government spending, on the assumption that Government money is somehow limited, is dangerous to the health of the economy.
It is a fool's path! Or a path for those looking to re-institute serfdom! It undermines the very mechanisms that help to protect us against depressions. And it does so based on a misunderstanding of our fiat monetary system, and the false belief that the Government can run out of money, if we don't reform social security and other entitlements.
The ideas that Government deficits create a debt burden for future generations, take away non-governmental sector saving, and that Social Security is broken, are all "deadly innocent frauds," supporting the idea that deficits must be avoided, even if we have to suffer through extreme economic downturns to avoid them. These frauds, like the conclusion that Government spending is operationally limited by the need to tax and borrow, all serve to reinforce the idea that Government can't do anything about a bad economy without doing more harm than good.
The contrapuntal ideas that: Government can create money, and is not operationally limited by the need to tax and borrow, there is no debt burden on future generations that limits production or consumption, deficits don't subtract from, but add to non-governmental savings, and Government checks including Social Security checks don't bounce, all reinforce the idea that Government deficit spending is not to be avoided, but, on the contrary is something we can and need to do to avoid the economic and human waste of unnecessary economic recessions and depressions.
Some years ago now, during the post-WWII period, Democrats tried to make the Government the guarantor of full employment. But the drive to do this was blunted by the decline of Keynesian macroeconomics, the new ascendancy of neoliberal free market ideology, and the call for deficit neutrality, the idea that we must "pay for" everything the Government spends with tax revenue. We now see however, that at least four of the arguments against deficit spending are based on deadly innocent frauds whose application is damaging to our economy, to our children, to our grandchildren and to all of our futures.
