Since the latest NHL lockout began, many fans and journalists alike have sided with #theplayers, appalled by the notion that the owners – "greedy, stupid billionaires" all – would demand their employees take an immediate pay cut. After all, the NHL made $3.3 BILLION last season. Also, the players have contracts – written agreements, signed by the owners, promising to pay x amount over the life of the deal. Now the owners don't want to pay the agreed-upon amount? How dare they! To the NHLPA and their supporters I say: get over yourselves. Set aside your histrionics and your talking points and take a cold, hard look at reality. Here's why the owners are (mostly) right, and you are (mostly) wrong:
The Nature of the Beast
The NHL is a unique industry, in that 30 separate businesses simultaneously work in conjunction to produce a single product (an NHL season) and compete fiercely against one another (to win the Stanley Cup). The battle between teams isn't confined to the ice, either: GMs compete with each other for scarce resources (NHL-caliber players). The level of competition is such that, were 30 Sidney Crosby clones available, each team would attempt to acquire as many Sidney Crosbys as possible.
To continue that analogy, as a fan, you would be upset if your team made no attempt to acquire at least one Crosby (or at least one more Crosby than your biggest rival). Fans pay good money for tickets, concessions, parking and souvenirs, and as such, they (rightfully) expect, even demand, management/ownership do whatever it takes to ice the best possible team. Fan expectations, which translate directly to revenue, are a significant driver of off-ice competition.
This "Battle of the GMs" is not just driven by fan expectations – it's also required by law. If they didn't compete – if the 30 GMs got together and said, "Okay, guys…from now on, nobody offers UFAs more than $2mil/year. Agreed? Agreed!" – that would be collusion, and the NHLPA would sue…and win. Thus, player salaries continue to grow (from an average of $1.4mil in 2005 to $2.4mil today), held in check only by the salary cap and the self-imposed spending limits of individual owners.
Why the Players are Locked Out
Over the life of the now-expired CBA, the players received 57% of Hockey-Related Revenues (HRR). Despite the fact that HRR has grown to record levels, at least half of all NHL franchises lost money last season. Why? Because 43% of HRR is not enough for many franchises to cover their operating expenses.
In truth, the NHL erred back in 2005, when they agreed to give the players 57%. It was intended as "a spoonful of sugar" to make the medicine – a salary cap – go down, but the financial struggles of at least half the league's franchises have proven the short-sightedness of that deal. Now, for the stability and financial health of the NHL as a whole, a correction must be made.
Why We Wait
If you're reading this, you know the NHL's latest offer called for an immediate 50/50 revenue split, with a "make whole" provision for existing player contracts. In short, players would have some of the money due them this season and next deferred to Year 3 or to the end of their current contract, whichever comes first. The NHLPA objects to those "make whole" payments coming out of the players share of HRR, saying it would mean "players paying players", which they find highly offensive.
At the same time, the NHLPA has called repeatedly for increased revenue sharing to help the struggling franchises. By this, of course, they mean moving money from profitable franchises to unprofitable ones…in other words, they're all for "owners paying owners". Though revenue sharing among franchises is a necessity, the NHLPA stance reeks of hypocrisy.
The players made three counter-proposals to the NHL last week, none of which would bring the HRR split down to 50/50 before Year 5. In other words, the NHLPA proposals call for roughly half of all franchises to continue to bleed cash for at least four more years. What will the players sacrifice in return? Well, they'll get smaller raises each year…but make no mistake, they will get raises.
Truthfully, there's no guarantee a 50/50 HRR split will put all 30 NHL franchises in the black; in fact, some franchises will still lose money, at least in the short-term. Lowering the players share of HRR will reduce the number of teams in need of revenue sharing $$$, which will increase the stability of the league as a whole…and thinking long-term, at the end of the next CBA, if only three or four clubs are still losing money, it will be exceedingly difficult for the NHL to make a case for a greater share of HRR.
In Conclusion
It's obvious, even to the NHLPA, that the HRR split must come down to 50/50. Now, the players must set aside their personal animosity toward Gary Bettman, their ridiculous indignation at the NHL's original offer (43% of HRR) and their unrealistic expectation of uninterrupted (though reduced) raises year-over-year, and work with the league to tweak the NHL's last offer and get a deal done. In the current economic climate, many people in the "real" world are either unemployed or have taken significant pay cuts in order to keep their jobs. A 20% pay cut when you're making $50k hurts much more than 20% of $525k, believe me. If the rest of us can do it, the NHLPA can, too.

News about internet crimes often mentions 'bots', 'zombies', and 'botnets'. It's not hard to figure out from the context that these are computer or network security threats. But what exactly are they, how do they work, and what damage do they cause?
A 'bot', short for robot, is a type of software application or script that performs tasks on command like indexing a search engine, and they are really good at performing repetitive tasks.
Bad bots perform malicious tasks allowing an attacker to take complete control over an affected computer for the criminal to control remotely. Once infected, these machines may also be referred to as 'zombies'.
Taking over one computer is useful, but the real value to a criminal comes from collecting huge numbers of computers and networking these (a botnet) so they can all be controlled at once and perform large scale malicious acts.
As of August 2011 there are between 100-150 million computers worldwide (out of 600 million PCs on the Internet) infected with bots and under the control of hackers. These computer owners unwittingly put everyone at risk, and most would be shocked to learn that the spam you're receiving is coming from thousands or even millions of computers just like (and including) theirs. The real owners of those computers can still use them, and they are probably unaware of anything being wrong except perhaps they think their computer seems slow at times.
One botnet, called Rustock, was disabled through collaboration between industry and law enforcement in March of 2011. This botnet had approximately 1 million infected computers networked together, and was capable of sending up to 30 billion spam emails a day. This botnet was so large that when it was taken down, global spam volumes instantly dropped by 30 percent.
It only takes minutes for an unprotected, internet connected computer to be infected with malicious software and turned into a bot, underscoring the critical need for every computer and smartphone user to have up-to-date security software on all their devices.
Revenue from DoS attacks comes through extortion (pay or have your site taken down) or through payments by groups interested in inflicting damage to a company or network. These groups include "hacktivists" — hackers with political agendas as well as foreign military and intelligence organizations.
If you have not installed security software and ensured that it is turned on, and kept up-to-date your machine is likely infected with all kinds of malicious software, including bots. The best protection is to set your anti-virus and anti-spyware programs to automatically update, and to install every patch that your operating system and browser make available.
Even the most up-to-date protection tools cannot protect you from everything; there is still some risk because the developers of malware are always looking for new ways to get around security measures, and there is the risk of infection because of actions you, or another person who used the computer, take.
A common user risk comes through downloading content from unknown sites OR from friends that don't have up-to-date protections. The intent may not be malicious at all, but if content comes from an unprotected computer it may well be infected. By downloading the content you bring the malicious code past your security checkpoints where they can try to clean the malware off your machine, but they have no way of defending against it being downloaded in the first place. Always use extreme caution when downloading information or files from someone whose computer is not protected.

Again, regarding the "New Age" world wide Occupy Movement: res ipsa loquitur, :"the thing speaks for itself! Read the full story and links by clicking here.
Stay tuned!
Grocery giant encourages kids to awaken strange powers by collecting magical stones
(THE LOCAL, SWITZERLAND) — Swiss Christians have taken issue with a new campaign by supermarket giant Migros that encourages children to awaken strange powers by collecting 48 different magical stones.
While the slogan, "Discover your inner animal", is considered particularly contentious by Christian critics, the front cover of Migros' customer magazine, which depicts a child's face roaring like a wild beast, has also received a large number of complaints.
Thank you for your valuable contribution to this thread...and for calling attention to this blatant assault on our religious freedom!!!
Thank you all for your kind words.
One article that I posted on the previous thread stated that Frank Schaeffer - whose father Francis Schaeffer was the famous American Evangelical theologian who founded L'Abri - has been enouraging the Occupy Movement to target BOTH Evangelical and Catholic churches.
Apparently, Frank Schaeffer has been sliding into apostasy for a couple of years now acording to Canada Free Press and other sources. I will leave you to read the Canada Free Press article for yourselves. Pay attention to some of the New Agey-sounding twaddle which he is reportedly peddling.
April 10, 2010
"To this day, Migros keeps the cooperative society as its form of organization. Nowadays, a large part of the Swiss population are members of the Migros cooperative – around 2 million of Switzerland's total population of 7.2 million,[1][2] thus making Migros a supermarket chain that is owned by its customers."
which makes me wonder how much of this is to be blamed on some segment of the management, and how much on the tastes of the cooperative owners a huge number of people who must have some voting influence. OF course, both would have to play a role.
"While the slogan, "Discover your inner animal", is considered particularly contentious by Christian critics, the front cover of Migros' customer magazine, which depicts a child's face roaring like a wild beast, has also received a large number of complaints."
I would imagine even the average New Age parent could do without such an encouragement of wild tantrums.
Which brings me to another point. In the USA and maybe England, the neo pagan branch of New Age both explicit and indicative by liking of shamanistic and pagan themes, tend to emphasized the supposed sweetness and light of all this. Even the wiccans rewrite savege monster female deities as kindly earth mother things. (I have read a lot on a lot of egroups.) unbelieveable. But in Europe, and in the shadows here, the obviously darker side of paganism is not denied at all. Here it is likely to be called traditional witchcraft, and maybe traditional druidism.
It is of course all evil as hell. But the fluff bunny crowd at least has some ideas of good and evil that square with Christianity, indeed, a lot of the social and nonviolent values espoused by people who criticize Christianity, came to them from Christianity, albeit filtered through Christian values shaped liberal and agnostic writers and trends. They just don't know where they got them from.
The pagan values are heavily ethnocentric, extended family and tribe as "mine, right or wrong" and outsiders as potential prey, so of course also potential enemies because all such groups in ancient times viewed each other this way.
The lies about pacifism of primitives and Amerindians before the white man are unbelieveable.
Something starts out as an attack on one or two specific evils. Then it expands, but not just to follow the money to where the problem is, but to include every last damn thing that bothers anyone with influence in it.
In the case of anything that attacks some corrupt feature of capitalism or of the American government, it quickly morphs into going whole hog leftist, and to include all kinds of irrelevant stuff like abortion and gay rights and no death penalty, and so forth. The former two are of course evil in themselves.
The point is, pro abortion and gay rights have nothing to do with what Occupy was originally all about, or claimed to be, never mind what the founders had in mind. But now these are issues they have in their plans for formulating demands that will be formal in March.
There would be no Occupy Movement if young people in the U.S.A. had employment prospects.
Regarding your post from the last thread you were challenged to explain.
"who really runs things. this gets to the point after the second ad.
Your responses were 1) I must be a republican for the challenge; and 2) I have a comprehension problem.
Here is the lead in text from the video you posed:
"...For several years now internationally noted author, researcher, lecturer David Icke has been routinely vilified and ridiculed for his assertions that the human race is somehow controlled by reptiles from outer space, a laughably preposterous notion from a crackpot Brit, right? ...BUT ancient shamanic traditions from South America, Africa, and the Middle East all share accounts of extraterrestrial, extra dimensional alien invaders influencing humanity since before recorded history and these traditions note how this genuinely clever alien invasion has succeeded without ever being perceived. Great invasions do not happen with thundering smoke and nuclear weaponry. This is the mark of an immature society. Great invasions happen in secrecy. They say sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees. Maybe the real reptilian is actually staring back at us from our own bathroom mirrors…"
Now that we've made it clear we think one another are mentally challenged, let's get on with the reasons why. How is it that you interpret this as a repudiation of Icke's reptilian theory?
Jim Nichols is follows the Pleaidian transmissions of Barbara Hand Clow and Barbara Marciniak which this consistent with David Icke's reptilian theory and this entire stinking video.
The Pleaidians claim that a meddling sub species of "reptilian" humans are causing earth's troubles and they intend to correct it. Their assertion is that the existing world order is the New World Order which needs to be replace by their New World Order.
You just endorsed this entire thing and you've dug in to defending it by insulting any challenge to it. I am suspect of your motives because you routinely drop bad links here and are combative when held accountable. This is not bearing false witness, you brought this one on yourself.
Are you the same InfoWolf1 who is chasing after the Pleaidian's Nibiru?
What exactly was your motivation in passing this video off as the real truth and do you, as before, firmly stand behind it?
you just demonstrated your reading comprehension problem AGAIN.
first, I pointed to specific parts of the video as of primary importance that are NOT part of Icke's ideas.
Second the video repudiates shape shifting reptillians inhabiting to point to our own evil. (conversely one could argue, that Icke and others on this track are not seeing shape shifting reptillians, but picking up on a demonic presence in the alleged shape shifters, that is so strongly sensed they THINK they see a shapeshift happen. this scenario would fit the Christian discernment anti demon perspective quite well.)
Third, I repeatedly said that the video contains elements that are loopy New Age and to ignore this.
Precisely the stuff in it I warn against, is what you point to my promoting.
Fourth, I NEVER endorse the entirety of ANYTHING. I think you are looking for 100% reliable sources or nothing.
Guess what, you get NOTHING, then, no matter who the source, me, Cumbey, your favorite politician, your preferred present sources, no one is perfect all the time in judgement, intention or sources of their own. The only thing you can view in that light is The Bible and if you are looking for perfection in anything else, you are whether you realize it or not, looking for new Scripture. There isn't any.
I repeat, I NEVER ENDORSE THE ENTIRETY OF ANYTHING.
Fifth, yes, that is me, and nibiru or planet x is not a Pleiadean thing just one more thing the deceivers have latched onto to make trouble with, to redirect scared people away from God or for other purposes (like getting Christians to ignore the possible catastrophes coming and not be prepared, which would also fit the population reduction agenda people who might as strictly humans be providing telepathic false messages - think RADIO type transmission, physicist) pretending to be aliens, OR might be among those claiming to be hearing from aliens.
If you bothered to listen to all in that video about nibiru, you would have heard that originally I ignored the whole thing because of its association with Sitchin, but when I found out about some discoveries by scientists published in normal news sources several decades ago, and then everything is quiet and then suddenly a rash of IR telescopes in orbit and a radio and IR telescope in Antarctica, no place for such a thing unless tracking something coming in from the south, below the ecliptic, it makes sense, and the constant making of deep undergound bunkers and FEMA grabbing supplies right and left, well, it became pretty obvious something along this line is getting here.
But it isn't in 2012. More like 2013 0r 2014.
Now where in this did you warn of new age elements?
"who really runs things. this gets to the point after the second ad."
You're attempting to clean up after the face.
You're a true flake Christine, a real flake.
Now that we've made it clear we think one another are mentally challenged, let's get on with the reasons why. How is it that you interpret this as a repudiation of Icke's reptilian theory?"
The answer to that question lies in the statement you quoted.
It is as plain as the nose on your face. Or maybe you don't know what Icke's reptillian theory is?
Icke believes that the various people in power (incl. the behind the scenes power types also the corporate bosses and the unelected govt. elements) are not human beings, but are shape shifters who are actually reptillian aliens and who occasionally loose control of the illusion and show a bit of their reality.
Either the original human individuals were kidnapped and replaced, or were never human in the first place.
THAT is his theory, and it does a damn lot of discrediting of his other exposes on satanism and pedophilia in high places. Reason enough to suspect he is a shill for the people he pretends to expose, by making it look too ridiculous to credit ANY information about them.
You're attempting to clean up after the face."
nope, that was the whole point of this in the first place. the reptillian brain, or fallen evil inclination a Christian would say, is an interesting angle on this. AND its preponderance in almost all people of power.
it isn't power that corrupts. It is the corrupt who seek power. And it isn't just them.
You are no Cumbey. The difference with Cumbey is that she will not direct people to the new age material to show them what is "really going on". She has written before she would not want to inadvertently lead people down the wrong path.
You, on the other hand, do not handle criticism without calling people stupid. You've done so with PHDs and others.
If you understood one tenth of what this video really says you wouldn't have dug in that it repudiates Icke. It actually bolsters his claims.
No, you are a wannabe Cumbey but you fall far short.
when I AT LEAST TWICE remarked negatively about the "consciousness" raising type solutions offered. And the reptilians aren't a lower species, by the Icke scenario, but a ruling elite, or so they see themselves and seem to be able to get us to go along with it quite well.
everything he ascribes to the reptilians is what would be called materialist New Age, and his solutions of course are spiritual type New Age and both are evil, with the latter form disempowering you against the first, and making it easier to be deceived by psychic influence from the members of the former that are able to do so or from evil spirits back of them.
I don't care for libertarianism, but on Lew Rockwell's blog is an excellent examination of flaws in Bush's claim to be Christian based on his own statements.
I don't like Alex Constantine's amorality, but you can't beat him and Dave Emory (regardless of his personal wierdness) for information on the fascist underpinning and dirty laundry of the US Right Wing.
The Left version is well documented enough.
And Reagan was another disaster. semi occultist drawing people into an enchanted state of mind, gutting the rehab side of the drug war which meant more money for the black ops crowd bringing in the dope and the big banks who launder it and the projects abroad.
Disney is NOT family material and never was, with its fairy story focus. All that is conveyorbelt to occultism and paganism.
"This YouTube video of the British writer Douglas Murray at the Cambridge Union last March has suddenly gone viral. It's not surprising. It is a magnificent put-down of all those who dismiss the mortal threat posed by Iran's nuclear programme. Given the lethal and amoral idiocy of those who are currently indifferent to the genocidal threat posed by Iran to the State of Israel in particular, this is a must-see."
Frangipane has propounded the "birth of the man-child" doctrine which is part of the Manifested Sons of God teaching. I see the 'man-child' as akin to the Agni Yoga Law of Divisibility.
While Frangipane denies this, here's a portion from a '94 book of his:
...Before Jesus Himself returns, the last virgin Church shall become pregnant with the promise of God. Out of her travail, the Body of Christ shall come forth, raised to the full stature of its Head, the Lord Jesus. Corporately manifested in holiness, power and love, the Bride of Christ shall rise.
That's Corporate Christ/MSoG plain as day.
It is too bad Constance Cumbey doesn't moderate her own blog. It would be nice to hear her opinions on these discussions once in awhile.
1. I would NEVER buy a used car from DAVID ICKE knowing what I presently know about his own New Age agenda;
2. Certainly, Christina is right that there are no perfect sources. I'm not perfect myself, therefore, I dare not demand perfection from others.
Let's try to be polite and get along as much as wel can without compromising on essentials.

America's demonization signals rise of global government
The ever increasing possibility of an Israeli led attack on Iran is bringing to light a very important piece in the plan for a new world order. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad announced recently his desire for a "new world order." As Press tv reports, "President Ahmadinejad also pointed out that this new world order needs to be all-inclusive, and not be dominated by any particular single nation."
As I reported in 2008 after the western backed incursion into South Ossetia, "The corruption and wars that have tarnished the American people's name will now be used to further the aims of the global elite. America's demonization, and in turn its use as an example of the necessity of global governance, may very well be the next stage of the establishment's plan for world government."
The warring factions of power around the globe will act as a catalyst for the creation of world government. It will come in the name of peace, denouncing the wars that have enraged the globe over the past decade. Don't be fooled, it will be the same power structure presenting the world with a new solution.
This was his post from February 4, 2012.
NOW you are getting a look at what really goes on. Now you are getting a look into the information I am used to. Scared by the video? naaah, not me, I'm used to it. A tad skeptical originally about this story, frankly I think yes, the militia crowd was in it, but those militia apologists who argued the feds were in it, ignore that it is already public information on the Internet, that ex special forces guys of similar mindset have been involved in training militia people, and sure, some kind of sting may have gone horribly wrong from some people's perspective, but not from that of others their peers in covert ops in govt agencies, who wanted this to go through.
A guy from Germany, a son of the then Chancellor or some other bigwig close to that office in rank, was involved in that group McVeigh was in, and was snuck out of the USA by a covert move by some German military special ops people before he could get in trouble.
The overarching nazi plans incl. - and always did, before during and after WW II - some of our high level people, incl. Senator Prescott Bush, Bush I's granddad.
Chris White has made a long serious study of Icke and his philosophy. It is avaialable on YouTube, and well worth watching for any New Age momitors because Chris White demonstrates logically and humorously that David Icke is a) possessed and b) subscribes to all Alice Bailey/Lucis Trust ideologiies.
Just imagine the revenue.
But I'm sure that nothing could ever
go amiss with such an enormous flow
of money. After all the U.N is a
thoroughly benign and well-
intentioned organization, that only
wants what's best for the people of
the world, and especially the poor.
The warring factions of power around the globe will act as a catalyst for the creation of world government. It will come in the name of peace, denouncing the wars that have enraged the globe over the past decade. Don't be fooled, it will be the same power structure presenting the world with a new solution.
Isn't it possible that there is NO commonality between the leaders of the warring powers from the East - empires of old, Russia and China and Persia (Iran) - and the coming leaders of the New Age?
To propose that the same people are in power is to propose a blatant contradiction - that certain people "in control of things" would bring destruction upon things they supposedly "own" and "control" in order to stop that very same destruction to save those very same things.
That, to me, makes no sense. Not even in the "in order to make an omelette, some eggs must be broken" sense.
If They are so completely in control of everything, why exchange one world order for another? And they must be in *complete* control for what Taylor suggests to be true - for example, that Ahmadinejad is under their thumb and they can just "flip a switch" and create a war.
I think what is happening is humanity's attempt to completely and finally make a break with the sinful nature of man and all its bad side effects (like war), and with our history (and all of its lessons and wisdom). This attitude is endemic in New Age circles, and is also becoming endemic in the Occupy crowd. It is one of their central themes.
It's the "last hurrah" of the Utopians to try and perfect Mankind. It's a collective attempt to once more build a modern Tower of Babel.
Where Taylor says:
"The corruption and wars that have tarnished the American people's name will now be used to further the aims of the global elite. America's demonization, and in turn its use as an example of the necessity of global governance, may very well be the next stage of the establishment's plan for world government."
I would say this:
"The corruption and wars that have tarnished the American people's name (along with the exaggeration of America's sins through various propaganda outlets around the world, including outlets here in America, like Alex Jones) will now be used to further the aims of the plans of Russia and China to justify to the rest of the world their attack upon us. America's demonization, and in turn its use as an example of the necessity of a new power structure based on Eastern powers, may very well be the next stage of the Eastern powers' plans for world domination."
How far they get in their plans to destroy the West, and in particular America, is known only by God. But from the ashes of that attempt will rise the New Age.
[Sun, Feb. 5]
I am also wondering how China and Russia will react if Israel carries out plans to attack Iran's nuclear facilities this spring.
The features of the reptilian mind described however, are similar to points about original sin, and the sense many have of dealing with something reptilian in human form, may in fact be a Biblically ignorant but sensitive person's interpretation of sensing demonic presence or influence in a human.
Icke did a good job of bringing some of the behavior and motivations of these people, who someone here called the materialist side of the New Age then makes it look like if you think royalty and nobility and ceos and stuff are into pedophilia and snuff films must be a part of his craziness so the whole subject is discredited as kookiness, along with his actual kookiness.

Washington Free Beacon
2/7/12 | Andrew Stiles
President Obama will attend a star-studded fundraising gala in New York City on Mar. 1, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.
The Obama Victory Fund 2012 will host the event at ABC Carpet & Home in Manhattan's upscale Flatiron District, according to the official online invitation. Special guests are expected to include hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons, New Age self-help guru Deepak Chopra, and culinary bigwig Jean-Georges Vongerichten, among others.
Prospective partygoers can choose from three levels of tickets, "Event Chair" ($35,800), "Event Host" ($10,000), or for those with shallower pockets, "Gala Attendee" ($1,000 a piece).
Their massive wealth notwithstanding, Simmons and Chopra were both vocal supporters of the "Occupy" movements, and were named to TheBlaze.com's list of the "Top Ten Richest Celebrities Supporting 'Occupy Wall Street.'".....
In a post from Nov. 8, he writes the following:
"The Occupy movement, whether consciously or not, is restoring the utopian imagination to its rightful role as the patron goddess of desire, the essential spiritual core of any restorative planetary politics of sufficient gravitas. Such a goddess has contempt for what 'realists' call realism, and aligns herself with a militant politics of impossibility."
There's a lot to digest in there.
Madonna's occult half-time show.
the controlled mass media isn't talking about this much, but Russia and China have both made it clear they will back Iran if it is attacked.
We cannot possibly win. We stay out of this war, or large sections of the US geography will be annexed to Russia and China. Period.
The elites have been pushing for this for some time. And the CLASH OF CIVILIZATIONS requires an islamic threat (which some of it is, and shariah is evil as hell in some ways and not even koranic in some of it but that can't be argued because the legal system is embedded in the religion), in order
to have such a clash, which gets the elites money.
That is what we need to think about. Do we want to remain citizens of the USA without having to relocate from our homes to remaining USA held geography? or do we want to become citizens of Russia or China, assuming that option for residents of annexed or occupied places exists.
I had this problem once before and JD alerted me. I did have to follow the procedure you described to reactivate.
You going???!!!!
Too bad we don't have a rich mole!
I always appreciate your priceless information and I hope you aren't too annoyed with my sense of humor.
What does 'back' mean? With words, with armaments shipments, or by actually joining in? You don't know. I know you don't know, becaue you would have to be sitting in on politburo meetings in Moscow and Beijing to know. High-level diplomacy involves information to which we are not privy, secret deals cut in private, and elements of bluff.
"We stay out of this war, or large sections of the US geography will be annexed to Russia and China."
Regardless of the rights and wrongs, you simply cannot say that with any authority. Yes you can fill in the details of the scenario you assert, but you cannot begin to demonstrate that it is the only possible outcome.
As for "stay out", a large amount of oil reaches American throgh the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has threatened to close.
Two above-ground Iranian nuclear plants have already (been) blown up in recent weeks. That is public domain info, although not in the main media. Is it groundwork by agents from Israel, the nation Ahmedinejad wants to nuke? If some explosive mixed with radioactive material is smuggled into Iran's below-ground facilities and detonated then those facilities would be unusable for a generation, and contamination could easily be blamed on the nuclear material already there. Meanwhile we might hope for an Arab Spring in Iran, which is currently losing its main ally Syria to such a phenomenon. The Iranian people have no affection for Ahmedinejad's regime. I know that Constance doesn't like Arab Springs but fundamentalist Shia Islam in Iran is presently a lot more threatening than New Age.
To complicate things, Russia has developed fuel air explosives, deployed in Chechnya as grenades but scalable to any huge size you like. This eliminates inhibitions about nuclear war, because FAEs are stronger than nukes and not radioactive, and more blast than heat. Cheaper too. I think our FAEs are still largely experimental because research is driven by monetary interest (which means take as long as possible to keep raking in cash for research) and their's aren't.
On what basis do you think any outcome but annexation of the US or parts of it would happen if we went to war with Iran and found ourselves attacked by Russia and China?
By reading foreign media you learn more than by reading American media but you still find out only what the Russian and Chinese leaders are prepared to put out publicly. If you take that at face value then thank God you are not representing your country in diplomacy.
"To complicate things, Russia has developed fuel air explosives...I think our FAEs are still largely experimental because research is driven by monetary interest "
You are a mere 40 years behind the times. The US used them to create instant clearings in which to land helicopters in the jungles of Vietnam.
"On what basis do you think any outcome but annexation of the US or parts of it would happen if we went to war with Iran and found ourselves attacked by Russia and China?"
Give me your scenario in detail and I promise to find assumptions in it that, if false, would lead to different outcomes.
An FAE starts with release of the explosive gas, I saw a film of one, the second stage electrostatically charges the gas, quite a beautiful almost liquid flow of the gas in the air, then....ignition.
pound for pound they pack more wallop than a nuclear device.
scenario. We attack Iran, Russia which already has ships in the vicinity thanks to our messing with Syria, moves on locally positioned American ships and sends airborne after the troops massing on the ground already 100,000.
China, which is already massing ships in military exercizes ostensibly to flex muscle in various China Sea places, starts moving across the Pacific, while both send long range missiles.
Russia may or may not have troops and ships in the Siberian coastal locations, don't know. If they do, expect a move across the Behring Straits and down the Canadian coast.
Submarines of both make a show, functional and distractive on both coasts. The western half is easier to take than the eastern, and has more important military and missile bases anyway. (Look out for bunker busters, and while blast doors would protect DUMBs or Deep Underground Military Bases, nothing would keep those doors from being SEALED by blast keeping forces and equipment inside.)
Landing and takeover would probably involve Russia taking northern CA and China southern (already has a certain presence in South and Central America), and Russia would probably keep its old property, not granted taken from it by force but still of interest, Alaska and the Pacific NW to Fort Ross (used to be a Russian trading port, "Ross" refers to Russia and the bear on the CA state flag is the Russian bear because of that historical background), maybe a bit south as far as SF and maybe new border between Russia and China would be a straight line to the Nevada border, but how it would play beyond that I don't know.
Existing American freeway infrastructure, built in part to facilitate troop movements of ours, would play a role in all this, expect fighting to be along Interstates.
Beyond that, I can't go right now. We are deplorably thin, being deployed across the world in too many places, and the often denounced troop withdrawals over the years not adequate to support at home.
Eastern US probably retained by US in peace terms, and whatever president sued for peace instead of fight to the death, would be denounced as a traitor by a lot of people and targetted for assasination. Elites would probably be back of this facilitating martial law and permanent suspension of Constitution. For once, the US would be small enough that it could not view itself as able to absorb extensive anarchy and violence, so would crack down on uprisings it could no longer tolerate and treat merely locally.
meanwhile, certain people would rake in the money due to predictable fluctuations in world markets.
factions within the elites and wannabe rogue military would be putting each other along with dissidents in FEMA camps. no idea who would come out on top. Segments of both annexed and not annexed US might descend temporarily into a warlord situation.
Friendship might develop between rump US and Russia and China in the shared interest of putting such banditry down.
The idea is to disperse an explosive agent throughout a volume of the atmosphere, then detonate it. The versions used in Vietnam to make instant clearings for helicopters did disperse an agent that carried its own oxidising agent, whereas FAEs disperse as vapour a form of petrol and then in effect toss a match into it. But the point is blast damage, not incendiary damage. Only a blast can create a clearing instantly, in which a helicopter can be put down. With incendiaries it takes an hour or two for a fire to burn an area flat AND then cool enough to put a helicopter down in - a delay which makes it tactically useless. The USA did also use genuine Fuel-Air Explosive bombs in Vietnam such as the CBU-55, which you can type into Wikipedia. Your suggestion that the Russians have thought of these and the US hasn't and the Russians are miles ahead is false. The Wikipedia entry ofr "thermobaric weapons" (another name for them) lists several such weapons currrently in the US arsenal. Also, they are more effective pound-for-pound than only the smallest nukes; they cannot begin to match a 20-megaton nuclear warhead (TNT equivalent).
What if the USA simply gives every logistical assistance short of men to Israel in dealing with Iran? What if the USA says to Russia, "We are going in and coming out again and don't you interfere or else" and Russia doesn't want to start WW3? What if China sees Russia and the USA gearing up and thinks "great, let them destroy each other and then we become no.1 at no effort"? As for invasion of the USA, how will several millions of enemy troops get here without being shot up in their troop carriers? If you think that they will come via Canada or Mexico, do you think the USA will just let them amass in camps near the border until they are ready to invade? Don't forget that Alaska is American not Canadian.
I don't know what will happen. You cannot know either - you just think you do.
you still don't get it. This is not just dispersed ingitable gas but electrically charged gas which makes it many many times more powerful when it explodes. The explosive force of anything is the outward from center motion of the molecules in breakdown. The pre charging before ignition puts this out of the realm of normal weapons, and into that shadow realm of advanced weaponry, that our people think we have a corner on. We don't.
A Viet Nam incendiary bomb (nothing but gellied gasoline aka gelignite aka napalm but explosive trigger), IF given the electrical precharging would have done maybe ten times the damage that it did back then.
They can be built to ANY size, which means they can be used as full size nuke substitutes. The important thing is, they leave no radiation fallout problems. So no inhibition on using them.
No they can't. To disperse enough petrol above an entire city to flatten it when a match is tossed in, you need MUCH more mass of petrol than the size of a nuke capable of flattening that city. Also, how do you disperse the petrol? If you use explosive to disperse it then to disperse it over an entire city you need so much explosive that it would set the fuel off. What you say is not accurate.
What you are saying is that we are potentially willing to start WW 3 which is what I have been complaining of all along. Such threats must be meant to be backed up with military action.
What if we guess wrong and they are willing to do so given the increasing alliances away from USA and their willingness to live in a multi power loci world unlike our desire to be the only power?
Also the issue about FAEs is not that we are behind Russia, the film I saw was from an American test, the point is that they have been actually using them and working on them and the big money is still with nuclear and so forth here. Even if we are equal on FAEs, it doesn't matter, if all sides used them instead of nukes at all, it merely means that massive destruction becomes practical instead of fallout fears.
The really serious kind as I said, is not even addressed in the wikipedia article, the kind that ELECTRICALLY activates the nanoparticles and the explosive gas BEFORE ignition and this was an addition worked out in the 1980s, and don't think the Russians don't know about this process, since it was published in the context of history of the INSLAW scandal, and they keep better track of our samizdat than the average American does.
Intelligence on all sides has always included heavy data mining of non classified news etc. material, and then connecting the isolated dots.
No Christine, you don't get it. I have a PhD in physics and this statement of yours is riddled with errors. The energy released in a chemical reaction is unchanged if the molecules are charged, except by at most the energy involved in charging them, which is going to be much smaller.
Are you confusing two senses of the word 'charge' - electric charge and explosive charge? Please provide an online reference.
Don't put words into my mouth. Any war could escalate into WW3 if both sides let it. As usual, you pin the responsibility on America rather than its foes for that. All I was doing was showing that your scenario is conjectural. Sometimes wisdom is accepting that you are not omniscient.
Scroll down to Grand Jury Statement.
I am not confusing anything. And as for telepathy, again, think in terms of radio broadcasting equivalent, something I am sure earlier physicists before that time would have dismissed as impossible.
Even standard FAE are not a matter of dumping petrol, they are essentially deliberate duplication of the particulate conditions in which dust in mines and some manufacturing situations have exploded.
The enhanced version charges the particles before ignition. This is the same principle as used in some experimental aircraft, where electrostatic charging of the jet fuel makes it far more explosive, so it goes farther. I think this figured in either ramjets or scramjets see a pamphlet on Skunk Works projects but not the book of that title. I lent my copy and never got it back years ago. The subject was, could the Aurora exist? and based on what was known to exist, incl. this stuff, yes it could. That was maybe 1982 that I read that.
Just what do you think OR ELSE could ever add up to given a situation like that? Are you that naive or just backpedalling?
We have gone out of our way to MAKE foes. do some research outside of controlled mass media. Go read Gen. Smedley Butler's rant "War is a Racket." our game has been empire all along.
Sure, I am not omniscient, but neither are you, and I can make educated guesses, and you aren't giving me any kind of defense scenario.
"What if the USA simply gives every logistical assistance short of men to Israel in dealing with Iran? "
There are already 100,000 troops massing near the Iranian border. obvioiusly "short of men" is not in the plans.
"What if the USA says to Russia, "We are going in and coming out again and don't you interfere or else" and Russia doesn't want to start WW3?"
And if it figures it make a quick win and does so?
" What if China sees Russia and the USA gearing up and thinks "great, let them destroy each other and then we become no.1 at no effort"?"
Unlike the US, China and Russia are willing to live in a multi major power loci world.
you forget, China and Russia are no longer at odds with each other. The earlier stresses were because of nit picking over Communist orthodoxy about how the revolution should go. Marx said in the industrial cities, Mao said in the small towns. I suppose there were other ideological issues. Russia no longer being communist, it has no dog in any Marxist-Leninist squabble.
Brazil, Russia, Iran, China, the BRIC nations, a trading linkup that held joint military exercizes in the 1990s, what sort of picture does that paint for you?
" As for invasion of the USA, how will several millions of enemy troops get here without being shot up in their troop carriers?"
Normally troops come in AFTER the mechanized opposition is messed up. Besides, China is overpopulated and wouldn't mind losing a lot of warfighters. Incl. some of those breeding age females. The female combat troops have been estimated as about the number of USA population itself.
" If you think that they will come via Canada or Mexico, do you think the USA will just let them amass in camps near the border until they are ready to invade?"
The problem is not so much that these countries would amass them, as that they would give them free passage once there. Also, coastal edge of Canada would be easily controlled by offshore artillery, while the Russians (not Chinese) would come from the Behring Straits and Alaska to the lower 48.
" Don't forget that Alaska is American not Canadian."
So what? think geography.
The fact that you are willing to engage with my alternative scenarios shows that there ARE alternative scenarios and that you cannot prove that US intervention in Iran would lead to America being invaded. That is all I was saying, because you insisted that the one followed from the other as night follows day.
"Sure, I am not omniscient, but neither are you"
That's what I was saying. I don't know what will happen and said so, but you claim to.
Did you confuse explosive charge and electrical charge, by the way?
I don't know what will happen. You cannot know either - you just think you do."
I claim to based on analysis of information. These are the most likely things, unless the current move being made in Iran against Ahmedinejad results in them backing down a bit, slowing this up.
you haven't presented anything to refute anything, just pretense of claiming I don't know what will happen. Fine. I don't claim to be a prophet, I don't need to be a prophet to know what will happen if you turn on gas and wait a bit and light a match.
"Did you confuse explosive charge and electrical charge, by the way?"
Do you bother to read anything? I have already made it clear I DID NOT CONFUSE THE TWO.
No confusion whatsoever.
And that is the approach taken in the experiments at the Cabazon Indian Reservation, when Wackenhut and others took it over.
When the Promis software INSLAW lawsuits hit the press in the 1980s, and all sorts of details came out secondary to it, so did this.
And you can be sure Russia has pursued this. This is precisely what can be scaled up to eliminate military intallations, and get into silos and deform missile parts since these things leach through holes and go around corners.
Christine: "Do you bother to read anything? I have already made it clear I DID NOT CONFUSE THE TWO. ADD ELECTRICAL CHARGE TO AN EXPLOSIVE AND YOU INCREASE THE EXPLOSIVE CHARGE."
Looks like you didn't bother to read my explanation at 10:37AM, that "The energy released in a chemical reaction is unchanged if the molecules are charged, except by at most the energy involved in charging them, which is going to be much smaller."
I have twice asked you to provide an online reference for your scientific assertions, without reponse. Third time lucky?
Me: "I don't know what will happen. You cannot know either - you just think you do."
Christine: "I claim to based on analysis of information. These are the most likely things..."
Most likely? You started by saying that that is what would *definitely* happen if the US waded in. All I ever said was that yours was one possible scenario. By saying 'likely' you have conceded my objection - albeit without saying so.
Did you reckon Gulf Wars I and II were going to lead to WW3, BTW?
There are only 3 scenarios. Iran backs down, we back down, or we get WW 3. The first is maybe in the works. the second is unlikely givenour belligerance. That leaves WW 3 if we go ahead and push the attack.
"Did you reckon Gulf Wars I and II were going to lead to WW3, BTW?"
No, because the reality then was what the American media would have the people think it is now. A country without superpower backup was the target.
But that is not the situation now.
I read it, and while that might be true of a lot of stuff it is PROVEN NOT TRUE with jet fuels read what I said about the experiments that were classified but leaked, and what was in that reference in the court docs you will usually find detailed in less "reputable" sources which of course usually have a mess of disinfo thrown in.
By the time you got scientific respectable sources blathering about something, it has been in the works for 20 years.
The fact that you say this does not make it so. If neither side backs down, it MIGHT escalate to WW3. Or it might not. You don't think Russia is going to say to the Pentagon fine, just go ahead, do you?
I don't know what would happen. And, unless you are a prophet, you don't know either - even if you think you do.
and this has indirect bearing on the subject "4) Electrostatically charged fuel mixes with air and burns more efficiently than uncharged fuel
resulting in reduced fuel consumption for the same work performed."
I am still around. Thank you for your kind words.
If your "sense of humor" comment was with reference to Newt Gingrich, I am not annoyed. I am no Newt Gingrich fan.
However, if he winds up being the Republican nominee, it will be "hold your nose and vote" time for me.....because as I see it, ANYBODY running on the Republican ticket would be better president than the one currently OCCUPYING the White House.
Sometimes, unfortunately, you have to fight slime with slime.
How am I doing so far? :-)
Even though Christine says she's no wannabe Cumbey and that she does her own thing, she has taken over moderation of this blog. I would expect her to moderate the many comments on her own blog.
As for her valuable contributions, throw the blog a bone and everything becomes great. WOW!
Constance and everybody, take a look at this. The Singularity Movement
and read the links in the article as well. New Age elements of course aside from pragmatic this might not be a good idea considerations, even if conducted from a solid Christian perspective without the get back to Eden without going through God sort of mentality involved.
When a chemical reaction takes place - as in a (non-nuclear) explosive reaction - a fixed amount of energy is released, according to the molecules that react, and the resulting products.
If you electrically charge those molecules (to become ions) then that too takes energy, and you will also get that energy back. But it is going to be MUCH less energy than is released in the reaction, becuae of the properties of electron orbits around the atomic nuclei in those molecules.
You write as if charging the molecules will drastically increase the yield of the explosion in some mysterious way. It won't. The preceding two paragraphs are all that is going on at the molecular level.
Now let me explain why fuel-air explosives are more effective than conventional explosives but less so than nukes.
If you detonate 2 tons of fuel, and it takes (say) 1 ton of oxygen from the atmosphere, then you have 3 tons of reaction mix. That mix might be half as powerful as TNT in terms of energy liberated, so it is equivalent to 6 tons of TNT. It will *always* be equivalent to 6 tons of TNT and you cannot significantly enhance that figure by charging it. But you can do a lot more damage to an extended target such as a town centre by dispersing it over a few acres prior to detonation than if you let it off in a heap all in one place. THAT is the rationale of fuel-air weapons. You can't get multi-megaton equivalents out of such weapons unless you lace the air above a city with millions of tons of petrol, which is logistically impossible.
I suspect that electrically charging the fuel in a fuel-air bomb is a way of enhancing its dispersal. But it does *not* give a bigger bang, and the idea that the Russians have something up their sleeve that the Pentagon doesn't is based not on better covert information but on ignorance of basic science.
The website you referred to was merely a chatroom about science. The relevant post included this comment: "The METC Thermo-baric device produces a three-stage explosion through a process described as a highly focused, A-neutronic energy transfer." That was enough for me to be confident that the post was unreliable. Neutrons are involved only in nuclear reactions, whereas fuel-air bombs involve only explosively fast chemical reactions. Surprisingly enough, not everything you read online is true.
PhD in Physics
The terminology is bad, and invented I think by a certain person who named it "a-neutronic" probably in the sense of a=without neutrons. YOU SHOULD HAVE READ THE REST OF THE DETAILS, and the film I saw showed the electrical charging shartup, because there was a GLOW about it.
stage one, releases the particulate gas.
stage two, charges the gas. (and that's where it starts to get a mild St. Elmo's Fire look about it, a glow phenomenon observed by sailors over centuries on rigging during storms, but not that strong.)
stage three, ignition.
The system was invented by a tinkerer, not a physicist. Don't expect decent naming, just ask if it works.
The Russians would have got ahold of this as soon as the INSLAW scandal hit the Internet and sometimes mass media.
I DID read the rest of the details. They are too vague for a decent scientist to say much more about, but on the basis of what is common knowledge about molecules, namely the energy released per molecule of explosive compound, and molecular ionization energies, my skepticism expressed at 9.20am remains scientifically justified.
Incidentally, if the process is described as "a-neutronic" meaning "non-neutronic" then that too is a warning phrase that the writer is out of his or her scientific depth. Nobody describes chemical explosives as such. "Non-nuclear" would be accurate but nobody even thinks that chemical explosives have what it takes to initiate a nuclear reaction in the absence of fissile material.
Because you never admit that you might be mistaken, I am no longer sure what you are saying about these weapons that might be even in principle disputable.
Various statements of his regarding stuff he rigged into the Promis software, have been dismissed by computer experts as impossible.
However, it turned out later it was very possible, and some forms of remote spying long in use without physical contact or virus planting on computers requires that what was said was impossible in fact works.
Again, that film I saw showed something that makes no sense, except in terms of what he described.
Even a normal FAE sent down a missle silo could be expected to ruin a lot of the propulsion system maybe trigger a conventional explosion since it goes around corners. A real big FAE.
But all this doesn't matter as much as that NO WAY can we win against the combined might of Russia and China and assorted others who are fed up with us METC FAE or not.
Both have stated they will protect Iran, and Iran is too important to their oil interests to ignore them.
you still haven't dealt with the radio broadcast equivalence interpretation of telepathy.
Something goes on you do not know about. Because I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED, when I screamed in pain because of a sudden deep feed after only a light contact, the invisible tendril went into the throat energy center and the agony was like repressurization coming down in an airplane, only the position was not entirely the same, this was on the ground, and there are other things.
I can't explain everything, but you'd better start looking at the long dismissed ether physics sort of thing if you want to understand everything, because the answer has to be there.
Back to Riconosciuto, of course, you don't deal with the pragmatic experience of increasing burn of diesel by electrifying it, in that other link.
And if you google on the concepts of this and jet fuel and black budget projects, you will have some eye openers also.
I don't know everything, and I can't explain everything, but I know YOU don't know everything either.
Your kind of physics IS valuable. But it has its limits. In another 20 years, you might find there are changes, and I don't mean the New Age nonsense. Don't confuse me with people who say standard physics is all full of crap and we need mystical whatnot.
A lot of "clairvoyance" is just ability to see into some limited zone of IR or UV where cats and dogs see also and most people don't
but some do, and those who do can tell you whether it is a tiny bug or an "entity" that the cat is watching moving around, or the dog is barking at.
By the way, did you know there are people who have white reflex retinas and DO NOT have anything wrong with their vision except astigmatism? You won't find this discussed in medical sites.
But the "white reflex" is getting common enough that some photogs online complained of having to figure how to compensate for that like they do for normal red eye.
Wonder what's going on. Holdover imperfect dominant genes from neanderthals? Alien hybridization long ago? Or some other thing? I know that whatever was going on back of this, has to date from the early 1800s at least and maybe a lot longer ago for reasons I won't deal with here. Such people have glare sensitivity because they have an imperfectly developed nocturnal eye, like a shark. Not a full night eye like a cat.
impossible? fine. go feel comfortable. But I know what I've seen. I discussed with an eye doctor and the concept "imperfectly developed noctural eye" was what we put together on the oddity.
Some "white retinas" are from diseases, and only such are discussed online that I can find, but THESE ARE NOT DISEASED. Some of them are a tad clairvoyant, but that may have nothing to do with it.
Think outside the box.
I've said all I want to say about US vs Iran + *possibly* hostile superpowers. In summary of various posts above: Not only do I not know what would happen in such a war - you don't know either, no matter how many times you say you do. Suppose Russia had decided that Iran was not worth going to the wall for - it wouldn't say that to America, would it? It would use exactly the same deterrent language as if it *was* prepared. So you have no idea what the Kremlin really intends. Also, for all either of us knows there are secret superpower deals going on behind our backs right now over this isssue right now, any of which would negate the scenario you claim is the only one. Read a book about the history of diplomacy and learn from some real world examples.
I am a physicist not a biologist (or a software engineer). I have no better idea than Scientific American readers what happens once a physical signal reaches one of the human senses. But I know plenty about light and sound propagation of signals from their source, through a vacuum or air, to reach a person; and about the only possible physical forces that can be involved. You can forget about aether. We have repeated the experiments which first ruled that out, using modern apparatus - and ruled it out to extremely high certainty. You wrote "Your kind of physics IS valuable" but there is only one kind of physics because there is only one set of physical laws - and physicists know a lot about them after 350 years. If you are getting sensations of the type you describe then the only possible sources are God, Satan's legions, or parts of your own soul/spirit that you (in common with others) are not routinely aware of, called by secular people the unconscious.
Thank you for sharing the link on the Singularity Movement. There is a lot of interesting information there. It sure seems the attempt is being made to create a new super race of half human/ half computer beings.

Christ Jesus prayed that all those who would believe in Him would be ONE, just as He and the Father are ONE; that they be brought to complete unity so that the world would know that He was sent by the Father. (John 17:20-23)
Heaven Is Our Destination Where We Will Be ONE With The Lord Forever
Today, we are in The Season Of The Last Generation. The Birth Pains that Christ Jesus spoke about are currently under way, including natural and unnatural disasters. They will be ever increasing. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold. Social, economic and political turmoil will be ever increasing, causing people's hearts to be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life. An apostasy within the Church of God is currently under way. This will all reach a climax with Satan revealing his Antichrist and requiring that everyone worship him; That every one receive his "mark" in order to buy or sell; The new currency of the New World Order, the New Tower of Babel.
Today, it is critical that those who have a heart for God are aware of what God is doing and speaking today. God is opening up His Word like never before in preparation for The Time Of The END. I exhort you to open up your heart and your eyes to see what He is doing and your ears to hear what God is speaking at this time. My prayer is that we will be able to stand before the Son of Man at His appearing, without fault and with great joy. I encourage you to read David Wilkerson's book, America's Last Call at davidwilkersontoday.blogspot.com. Also, Google, Tommy Hicks Prophecy, 1961 for a view of the End Times.
Tom's books include: Called By Christ To Be ONE, The Time Of The END, The Season Of The Last Generation, Worship God In Spirit And In Truth, Daniel And The Time Of The END, and Overcoming The Evil One. They are available at amazon.com. They can also be read without cost by clicking on link: Toms Books.
Other publications by Tom at the same link include: You Are Unique In Christ, Demonic Activity Increasing, America: A Nation Of Cowards, LIFE: Knowing The Voice Of God, The Earth Full Of Violence: Christ's Sign, Reality: The Realm Of The Spirit, What Is Detestable To God, America At The Crossroads, Many Are Invited but Few Are Chosen, Christian Beware, The Antichrist of Scripture, The Marks Of A Christian, The Apostasy/Rebellion, Satan's Scheme, The Anointing, The Good News, The Water of LIFE, The World Against Christ, The Commands Of Christ, America's New Civil War, America Is Cursed Because Of Its Abortion Murder, America Unprotected, America's Irreconcilable Differences, Evil Begets Evil, America's War Against Christ, America Is Babylon and IN Christ: There Are No Limitations.
To receive Christ Jesus as a child by faith is the highest human achievement.
Today, the Bride Of Christ is rising up in every nation in the world! Giving Glory to Her Savior and King, Christ Jesus!
Today, the world is Raging against God, Rushing toward Oblivion! Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation!
Today, America is being ground to powder because of it's SIN against God!

Ten creative teams from around the globe work together with Mars to shape the future of global agile content
NEW YORK, NOVEMBER 19, 2015 – A bold experiment pairing ten BBDO creative teams at YouTube Spaces in four international markets, has broken new ground in the ongoing search for clues regarding global storytelling and agile content creation.
Working with Mars and its iconic TWIX global brand, BBDO creatives from around the world were challenged to help TWIX translate its successful "Left TWIX/Right TWIX" fictional rivalry strategy into visually powerful global storytelling that crosses borders. As TWIX continues to be one of the fastest-growing global chocolate brands, especially among millennials, the brand was viewed as an ideal choice to bring this test to life.
The work was created by BBDO teams from Brazil, Colombia, France, Germany, UK and US and produced over two days at the YouTube Spaces located in London, Los Angeles, New York and Sao Paulo. They were tested in three international markets: US, UK and Netherlands. Each creative piece was evaluated for its ability to drive view thru rates and ad recall using YouTube's proprietary TrueView format. The ads were skippable and ran on a single day with a total of more than one million impressions per country. Users who saw the ad were then shown a survey to determine ad recall. The ads were also evaluated based on view-through rate (defined as when a user views an ad to :30 or the end of the ad, whichever comes first). In both instances, a score of 10 was given to the highest performing ad on each of these criteria, and the best performing ad was determined by summing all scores across all three markets.
You can view the ten pieces of copy here. A description of each ad can be found in the addendum.
Overall, the global video Create-A-Thon yielded the following observations/findings:
Total VTRScore
Total Recall Score
Total Score
YouTube vs. YouTube
"As we drive toward achieving growth we are proud of being a bold fast-mover, thinking globally and taking creative risks is critical to our success," said Jane Wakely Global CMO, Mars Chocolate. "In partnering with BBDO and YouTube on this experiment, together we were able to further elevate our TWIX message through powerful storytelling told visually, via agile content creation and across borders."
Added David Lubars, Worldwide Chief Creative Officer at BBDO, "The world is completely different now, everyone knows that, we're in undiscovered country. Standard ways of testing and evaluating work, well, a lot of it has become obsolete. Now the most telling test is finding out if real people out there opt out on you after five seconds – to me, that's real learning. Working with YouTube and TWIX, we learned a ton about using creativity to keep people in; have them want to stick with you all the way through."
Based on these findings, TWIX is giving strong consideration to how best to use this successful content on a global basis, as well as how to apply the agile production learnings and implementation for future TWIX and other Mars brand projects.
"We are thrilled to partner with BBDO and Mars on this pioneering project designed to explore ways to create agile digital video content," said Sadie Thoma, Head of Creative Agency Partnerships at Google. "We're even more thrilled that an approach that recognized the universal appeal of YouTube actually performed best of all the ads tested. We look forward to continuing to work with BBDO and its clients to continue the crack the creative code of digital advertising in today's fast-moving, mobile first landscape."

ESPN Classic Learns A Lesson: More NASCAR
The power of classic NASCAR races on TV was never on display more than Monday afternoon at 2PM Eastern Time.
With Mike Joy and his veteran announcing crew calling the action, fans got to sit back and re-live an incredible moment in NASCAR history.
New fans or old had to experience a very deep emotional connection to the one man so vocal in his frustrations about not winning the Daytona 500. In Victory Lane at that speedway many times before, Dale Earnhardt Sr. had never been able to capture "the big one."
Fans who have been watching this on-going six weeks of historic NASCAR races on ESPN Classic had already witnessed the ultimate moment of frustration for Earnhardt as his tire went down and Derrike Cope sped-by to victory.
Now, there would be no problem and no issue in the way for Earnhardt. Ken Squier put the previous races into perspective while cameras showed a walk down the beach by the great NASCAR champions of the past. Highlights then showed the classic Daytona 500 finishes up to the 1998 race.
The CBS crew included Ned Jarrett. It seems to be appropriate that Ned's son Dale was just named as the lead analyst for the 2008 NASCAR races on ESPN and ABC. In this program, Ned teamed with Buddy Baker in the booth to offer the "old school" type of open and honest commentary sadly lacking in today's telecasts.
Mike Joy split the spotlight with Ken Squier, as Joy was being eased into the play-by-play role that Squier made so famous. In this race, Joy was simply outstanding. He seemed to be inspired by the great racing and good company in the booth. Over-and-over again he demonstrated the key ingredient to his success.
Joy could both direct traffic and call the action with a fluid ease. Like veteran announcers Eli Gold and Barney Hall, Joy can get your attention immediately with a simple change in the inflection of his voice. This was a NASCAR race that fans actually wanted to turn...up.
The CBS trademark style of using the cameras as wide as possible and then zooming-in only when needed continues to be the most remarkable change between the coverage of the past and today's "tech dominated" broadcasts were the cars appear between multiple on-screen graphics.
The program Director skillfully used the "video boxes" to keep interviews and on-camera pit reporters from dominating the screen. It was clear for the entire program that the focus of all the TV activity was the race itself.
As Earnhardt continued to be in contention, Joy slowly began to build the excitement. An interview with Richard Childress heard him say that his heart was with Earnhardt, because we all knew what this one race meant to him.
Inside of twenty laps to go, everyone knew just who the story would be. Jarrett began to raise his voice, in anticipation of what he knew would be coming. That was success or failure once again for Earnhardt.
With ten laps to go, Joy let loose. He began to recap the stakes for the drivers in the front of the pack, with the focus on Earnhardt. CBS made sure to show brief shots of the crowd, which had begun to surge in anticipation of a possible Earnhardt victory.
The CBS in-car cameras showed Jeff Gordon, Rusty Wallace and Jeremy Mayfield trying their best to catch Earnhardt. With only five laps to go, the CBS cameras kept almost twenty cars in the camera shot, and told the story of the entire field.
As Earnhardt took the caution flag with one lap to go, CBS stood back and let the reality of the moment unfold. Earnhardt had finally won. In the now famous shot, CBS used several cameras to document the crew members from every team standing patiently in line to congratulate Earnhardt as he made his way to Victory Lane.
Veteran NASCAR fans could only take a very deep breath as an excited and humble Dale Earnhardt stepped from his car to thank a lot of people. With so little footage of this late driver seen on TV, it was emotional to see the big smile, the big moustache, and the big heart of this man on display once again. This truly was a moment in time to remember forever.
The power of these telecasts is apparently lost on both ESPN Classic and SPEED, as neither chose to show any classic NASCAR races during the off-season. It was only a sudden switch of the programming schedule several weeks ago that brought these six Daytona 500 programs to the air.
ESPN Classic has twenty-four hours a day to re-air taped programming to tens of millions of viewers nationwide. With their eight year investment in NASCAR that cost billions of dollars, it is a shame that more powerful and classic races do not appear on-air. This one program might be the most dramatic NASCAR race...ever.
There are a couple of weeks left in this six week series that airs on Mondays at 2PM, clearly intended to be recorded for later airing by NASCAR fans.
The feature presentation on Monday night on ESPN Classic in prime time...was an old American Gladiators episode.

As the fans have been saying for the past several years...the excitement is (or should be) on the track. Nothing points out how little a race needs an infield studio, silly grapshics, or even an cutaway car. Those really aren't what people tune into a race for. Since I no longer get ESPN C on my cabl provider, I'm very glad that I taped so many 'vintage' Nascar races over the years. Whenever I get too disgusted with the hyped up announcing, in car camera shots that isolate you completely from the race acion, and trying to see through all the graphics and clutter on the screen that block the actual race, I pull out one of those old races. All the networks (and yes, I certainly include Fox on that list) need to watch and listen to those old tapes. That's how to televise and commentate so the viewer at home really feels a part of the action...all of it.

I wish I'd seen this broadcast. This, quite literally, was the race that got me started watching NASCAR. I hadn't watched very much of it before then. They'd recently built Texas Motor Speedway nearby, but I really wasn't following it. The emotion and the excitement got me.
Now ten years later, I'm a diehard fan and a season ticket holder at TMS.

Yep! Caught the last part of this (THE BEST!!)
I also continue to be astounded at the HORRIBLE CAMERA work in today;s modern NASCAR coverage. MORE WIDE CAMERA ACTION!!
Less crap on the screen. Geez, I could not believe all the stuff on the top of the screen for the Rolex.
SPEED also clutters up their truck races badly.
Back in the day THESE OLD races are FANTASTIC but hard to watch without a knot in your stomach (and today's repeat, a lump in your throat)
Today's repeat was great and I would love to know WHAT HAPPENED TO ALL THE CAMERA MEN and producter/directors who USED to run the show.
They are sorely missed.
NASCAR is so lost in it's own hype, as is ESPN, Fox and SPEED, that the chances of us seeing real racing ever again is long gone.
I do miss the cleaner screens so the focus was JUST THE CARS!!
I had seen this race segment before with ALL the pit crews lined up to congratulate Dale. It was one of those shows where i wish I had seen the original...as it was a once in a lifetime action of all on the track.
And CLASSY guys calling the race.

JD- Good post. Do you have any idea why ESPN quit showing "old" races on Classic about the time it got its current piece of the NASCAR TV contract? I know I've seen the last race at Riverside on Classic at least 4 or 5 times in the last few years as I would stop and watch Benny P, Rusty, The King, DW, and others for many, many laps every time I ran across the race. When ESPN got back in the NASCAR deal I expected to see more "old" Cup races on Classic.

When ESPN got NASCAR they stopped showing the Classic races and they also stopped showing the Media Center press conferences after the races live on ESPN News. Go figure!

Sorry I couldn't watch this one again. ESPN Classic is on a premium tier with my cable network and I don't feel like giving them any more money than they already get.
But, I WAS at that race in person. Up in the Lund Tower on the Superstretch. It was a great race to see in person, that was for sure!
I sure miss Earnhardt. I'd love to hear what he'd have to say about the COT, current TV coverage, all the "furin" drivers and all the other changes in Nascar since he left us.
I wish ESPN would rebroadcast this series of classic races on ESPN or ESPN2 during the overnight time period when they aren't showing anything worth watching anyway. I could at least DVR them and watch them later.
ESPN/ABC, FOX, Speed, and TNT watch these classic races and how they were done. And learn! Less is more. Call it retro race broadcasting.

Ah, yes, such a classic race. The one thing Mike Joy did that stood out to me was giving Dale's stats from previous races as the laps wound down. For example, when it got to 20 laps to go, Mike mentioned how many times Dale had led the 500 with that many laps to go, and he continued it as the finish drew closer. By the way, if you want the whole race, a company put it on DVD several years ago, and the DVD shows the entire broadcast. You can search for the 1998 Daytona 500 on eBay or Amazon. I bought one at a local DVD store when it first came out, and the DVD is fantastic.

How wonderful to have witnessed that race IN PERSON.
I also think Mike Joy mentioned how twice, while leading under the white flag, Dale at lost the Daytona. I remember seeing the interview after one of those races....don't know if that is the one from last week as I missed that race.
I also think ESPN should see fit to put these great races on ESPN1 or 2.
I am saddened I missed out on the Dale Sr years.....how far the sport has sunk with his passing...so full of gimmicks..one can only imagine what he would have to say.

Excellent post JD. Way to contrast the 1998 Daytona 500 on CBS with the current way NASCAR races our presented.
Even though TV production technology has improved considerably over the last 10 years and the networks are now broadcasting races in HD, I would rather watch races like the ones presented in 1998 on CBS over the current FOX/TNT/ESPN broadcasts ANYDAY!

Keep in mind too that race was full of TNN production crewmembers and was not a #1-type crew because of the odd situation of the Daytona 500.
Because of the Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan, that year, much of the top CBS brass who usually worked NASCAR was not there -- Mann, Fishman, and the rest of the top staff worked other events.
One thing is evident: Mike Joy has always used the statistician in the booth, and that race was evident how he uses that fourth man to help him when he wants.
That statistician mentality showed last year when Joy treated Mark Martin with that same treatment of his heartbreak as the cars crossed the 500-mile mark, headed towards Lap 202. Imagine if it happened with the #8 and Fox talks about all of Mark's heartbreak at Daytona, and the 500.
For the most part, the 1998 500 was a TNN-produced race, as the top CBS staff was doing Olympics.

This great race comes as a seperate DVD in the CMT boxed set of the DALE movie (avail at Walmart only). Yes, it's great.
I have races on VCR tape going back to '96, and even some old RPM tonight broadcasts with Kenny Mane, and even the commercials for the Nascar ride along program. The broadcasts were much better back 10 yrs ago. What's happened since then? Way too much! And we all know Dale wouldn't like much of whats happening now.
JD, thanks so much for this blog. I never miss a day.

I have this race on DVD and I enjoy watching it for the great work in the booth and the fantastic camera work. Geez, I sure do wish some of the current broadcast and production personnel would go back and watch these races -- maybe they would learn something. How to be professional in the booth AND show the racing on the track. So nice to see wide shots, not just one car in the shot. Somewhere back in the day with comcast they must have been advertising Classic because I know that I did see several of the races (and taped them thank goodness) since Classic isn't part of the deal with my cable provider. If Speed and ESPN (not just on classic) would show NASCAR programming mroe in the off-season, think what a lead in for the upcoming season it would be -- of course, they'd have to use the Classic races because otherwise it wouldn't work -- all the fans would be asleep! LOL

This was awsome, back when race coverage wasnt about how much Hollywood and drama you could inject into a race but when it meant covering the race with passion, detail, a true knowledge of the field.
Sophia hit the nail on the head. "NASCAR is so lost in its own hype".
This will be the first year in the past 6 I'll not attend the Daytona 500. And if the poor coverage, commericials, cost, etc. continue on their downward slide the only place you'll find me is on my boat fishing on Lake MI. The radio will be my source of NASCAR I cant take this Hollywood crap any longer!!
At 57 yrs young and an avid race fan for a long time.
It disgust me watching my beloved sport fall dowhill because of the Hollywood effect, and a bunch of CEOs that could care less about what the fans think. I wont go into how many races Ive attended or watch on TV "to many to count", but trust me that number will also go downhill if things dont CHANGE. Oh DAMN there's that word again.
Having said that I'll give Brian France the benefit of the doubt as he claims to be getting back to the good ole days. If not...see ya on the Lake old friends.

Bobby...your TNN comment is not true. Yes, Eric Mann was not there but Lance Barrow - who is currently CBS Coordinating Prod on golf and NFL lead Producer - produced that 1998 race with other CBS personnel in the truck. The only TNN person was the Pit Producer who was the TNN producer at the time.

The 1998 Daytona 500 is included in two versions (flag to flag complete coverage and a highlights version w/ comments) on the six disk "Dale" DVD collection from ESPN. My wife got me a copy for Christmas as an unexpected surprise, and I have enjoyed every single minute of it.

FYI - A couple people have mentioned that this race (1998 Daytona 500) is on DVD. The 1979 and 1997 500's are also available on DVD. All three are in their broadcast entirety from beginning to end. The sections where the commercials were are just edited/spliced out.

Boy, I wish I taped that race to my DVR. To make matters worse, I watched the Super Bowl hype on NFL Network. Shame on me!
Anyway, this race may air again over the Daytona 500 weekend if it gets enough votes in the fan poll online. I hope it does so I can take advantage of the second chance.
By the way, another poster mentioned that the race is on DVD. Where can I buy it?

Great column JD!
Question, who owns the rights to old Nascar races and how much do you think it costs the networks to broadcast them?

Prior to the creation of NASCAR Images and NASCAR taking back their ability to control the TV contracts, believe it or not the rights to the race footage belonged to the individual TV networks.
The amazing thing is that the rights to the races themselves belonged to the actual track operators. The TV guys had to negotiate with all the track owners one-by-one.
Since then, just like the NBA with NBA Entertainment or the PGA Tour with PGA Tour Productions, the footage of all on-track activity and races belongs to NASCAR Images after a set period of time.
Any way you slice it, the NASCAR Images guys in Charlotte are absolutely doing a poor job of creating new programming across new networks and other non-linear platforms (mobile/Internet/VOD) as they remained fixed on selling DVD's at Wal Mart.
There should be a website right now like Veoh where you can go, pay a price, and watch any NASCAR race or program from the past. It is AMAZING that the only place to get online long-form NASCAR video is non-NASCAR websites.
Now you got me started! This might be a column shortly! :)

Thanks for the response JD!
I look forward to a column, if you choose to write one. I'd be interested in knowing how much Nascar charges to broadcast these old races and if the current networks tried to negotiate airing them in their current TV contracts.
It seems kind of odd to me that Nascar wouldn't utilize the old races to educate newer fans to the great history of the sport we already love.
Thanks again and keep up the great work that you do!

What upsets me is that I thought since ESPN was back on board, that they would have their marathon NASCAR broadcast during the holidays. I don't know if anyone remembers but they would always have about 24 hrs worth of NASCAR races during Christmas and New Years. I sure do miss that. It was the teaser that would get thru till Daytona. Oh well, guess I'll have to break out the ol' VHS and watch tapes.

Regarding 1979, 1997 and 1998 Daytona 500 on dvd, you can get them from Amazon ($22 a pop). After you go to Amazon do a search for NASCAR Daytona 500 dvd and you will find them. These have been released by a few different companies in the last several years so be sure to find the $21.99 one's as they are the one's you can buy new.

If you're a college graduate this year, you're likely gearing up to enter the great job hunt. But before you start tossing around resumes like they're graduation caps, remember this: Your personal information is as valuable as gold on the net, and potential employers who ask for it could be scammers digging for riches.
Fortunately, some basic security steps can help protect your identity in the midst of an already stressful job search.
Scams vary in complicity from all-too-obvious variants on the old Nigerian prince bit to polished, professional-looking – and fake – job postings. Here are five major red flags to look for:
In general, just do your research. Run the company's name – and its contact's name – through Google, LinkedIn and the Better Business Bureau before sending off your resume willy-nilly.
You want your resume to shine and show off your all-around awesomeness, but you don't want to give scammers enough information to hijack your credit report. Protect your identity by only listing the most basic of basic information on your resume: your name and email address. Create a secondary email address used solely for job hunting, just in case a would-be employer is really a would-be email harvester. Most of the larger job sites, like Monster.com, include optional privacy settings for resume postings. Use 'em!
Finally, don't be a jerk; keep your references' information off your resume, too.
An alarming trend has hit the headlines in recent weeks: Some potential employers are asking for Facebook or Twitter login credentials during a face-to-face meeting. They then browse through the social history while the candidates' sit there helpless, praying that they've deleted the beer bong pics from their undergrad days.
Whether you share the information is up to you, but the practice doesn't sit well with a lot of people. Senators are threatening to outlaw the activity, and Facebook has threatened to sue employers who logon to applicants' accounts.
Finally, most job searchers have phones or tablets that are chock-full of private contact details and files with sensitive information. If this sounds like you, make sure you're equipped with the best mobile security apps to protect your identity and keep scammers, phishers, spammers and other prying eyes at bay.
Following these tips will help you be upwardly mobile – without compromising your privacy – in no time.
