regulation watches, while restructuring changes

We, as a nation, are not wise. Right now, our government should be providing zero interest government loans to owner occupied homes, without regard to credit rating, based purely upon 20% equity and issued through employment of a reverse bond placed by GSEs whose stock needs to be nationalized. This would cure the money supply of the whole nation, stop the foreclosure epidemic, stabilize the economy, and pay down the national debt. It would not inflate the money supply, and it would build home equity over the long haul and finally destroy the cyclical nature of bank loans that currently provide funding to the market. In other words, while we should be restructuring the entire market, we are instead replacing regulations stripped away during the Bush administration... which will not stop the general decline of the nation. So we are watching the ship sink instead of repairing the damage and pumping out the water in the hull.

The main culprit for our mutual stupidity is the lack of education from our public schools. Finance should be taught in Junior and Senior High School; and required in large measure to garner a high school diploma. The total lack of classroom education is what produces a complete lack of direction from our leadership and fosters a market that is rife with scams, thefts, and basic deception. Ultimately, our whole method of money creation is feeding our own demise. Bond based currency, or as it is often described "debt currency" is a self defeating system of funding. Instead of enriching the nation, as the silver dollar was performing, this method of borrowing bank money - created in our mints for us to obtain through sale of bonds - boils down to us borrowing our own money from the private sector, instead of creating it for the private sector to borrow from us. That has to be reversed, and a big way to reverse that is to provide government home loans funded by Treasury created issue; a reverse bond simply means that when the GSE funds the loan it does so by placing a bond owed back to the Treasury. So the Treasury is printing money owed to the Treasury instead of printing money owed by the Treasury to private sector banks.

systemic risk or shaping the system?

Goldman Sachs would have you believe that they were reacting to the market. Ever the vigilant bankers they were and are, they covered their tracks, yada, yada, yada, okay, maybe we shorted the exact same cdo's we sold, these things happen... oh sure they happen!! ...especially when you are more than just a major player, Goldman Sachs is a market shaper, Goldman Sachs produces the people that end up running the Federal Reserve, our last two Secretaries of the Treasury have come directly from the ranks of Goldman Sachs. To sit and listen to Mr. Blankfein feign that he doesn't think they knew in 2007 that the new mortgage origination market was going south... bullshit! They not only knew, they were the force that sent it south. Claire McCaskkill said that in fairness to Blankfein there ought to be another four or five CEO's sitting up there with him; wrong Claire!, Goldman was not a bit player in a larger market, the whole point in drawing him out is to make the distinction that Goldman is an engineer of the market... sure, Bank Of America, JPMorgan, Citibank, and Lehman Brothers were also heavy into the same game; but Goldman was the leader. Lehman Brothers, Citibank, and Bank of America suffered major damage from this market crash, but mysteriously, Goldman came through the same market, which they delved into the heaviest, and came out of it unscathed.

Subprime Lenders (banks that table the money at Title) melted down in droves. Why? Because the secondary market closed down the warehouse lines that the Lenders use to close the loans. So, point blank, the large banks shut down the entire industry; they were not innocent bystanders, they ran the market and they shut the market down. When did the subprime Lenders start to disappear? Autumn 2005. By summertime 2006, only the largest of them survived, and the largest (Countrywide) was saved by Bank of America while their stock was dissolving into thin air. So, look at the time frame. The big banks started closing the market down in the Autumn of 2005, but Blankfein tells the Senate, today, that he didn't know in 2007 that the market was headed south. They sent it south, beginning in 2005.

Again, when Clare was trying to nail the guy on the nature of synthetic credit default swaps as purely bets, with no respect to any function on main street, and Blankfein tries to weasel out of that by comparing them to futures on oil, which do act to price oil; completely the point she was making; synthetic credit default swaps do not perform to shape the market, they do not, for instance, act to price homes, so he was lying through his teeth... again. Covering up their real role in those synthetic credit default swaps, which everybody in the room knows was to bet against the cdo's they sold in 2007, which they clearly knew was junk.

What never gets brought to light, is how the whole market works. Goldman Sachs is the lead engineer in a global money market that runs on the dollar... printed by the Federal Reserve; where Goldman Sachs is the lead stockholder... these guys are way more than bystanders, and way more than bit players, they are the team captains, coaches, and booster club. To say they didn't know the game plan is nonsense, they drew up the game plan, they executed the game plan.

chemtrails, honey bees, and calamities

okay, let's get down to the stark truth here, our sons-a-bitches governments have been spraying poisonous chemicals into our skies; heavily, since early 1999. bastards. You may think spraying poison into the sky is a good thing, but you would be wrong. The fallout from this program is killing honey bee populations... and not just by a small amount. As of this writing, America has lost something like half her honey bees. Have you paid for a jar of honey lately? There's a lot of plants and flowers that rely on the honey bee to reproduce. Of course, the governments love to lie and pretend that they are not spraying our skies with poison... but the chemtrails are up there every sunny day, and chemtrails are not contrails.

There's going to be hell to pay for this evil practice. When you play with mother nature, pay-back is a bitch. There's a verse in the New Testament that states God will destroy those who destroy the earth.

Apollo missions were faked

Apollo missions were just a distraction from the Vietnam War, once the war ended, the remaining three missions were immediately canceled. Apollo 18 hardware was already built, but they just stopped the whole gambit on a dime. 40 years after the start of the Apollo program, GWBush decided we should "return" to the moon... and that's when we discovered that the radiation shielding required for such a trip is still an unanswered question, it isn't at all easy to fly into space, but if you want to try it, you can't take the Apollo flight paths. Van Allen wrote a paper on this, published in the March 3, 1959 issue of the Scientific American journal (vol.200, issue 3) and warned NASA ...
"All manned space flight attempts must steer clear of these two belts of radiation until adequate means of safeguarding the astronauts has been developed".

The way to do that, quite simply, is to fly around the poles instead of the equator, and then release for the moon from polar regions where the radiation is not as strong. Had Apollo been real missions, that's the way they would have gone to the moon. But since the missions were beyond our technological reach, anyway, it boiled down to a question of simulation and NASA decided to downplay the radiation threat, rather than build simulations that encircled the globe at the poles (which they had never done and weren't set up for). The radiation threat was unknown to Americans, even the astronauts didn't understand it, so why bother?


And bother they didn't. But now, let's take a look at the Apollo 17 mission, which was flown 3 months after solar maximum and likely would have killed all three astronauts with radiation poisoning. To understand why that's true, the real nature of the radiation belts and how they would have acted upon the Apollo flights needs to be thought through; including, especially, what would have happened when the ionized protons interacted with the metal containers of drinking water.

Van Allen didn't discover the radiation belts, he was just first to send up a geiger counter and verify their existence. He did this on Explorer 1 and 3, back in mid and late 1958. The geiger counter only counted particles, it didn't measure their energy, the counters that went up in 1958 were not capable of counting higher than 128 particles per second. When Van Allen wrote his first paper from those results he had to guess how intense the radiation belts were because he had no idea how high a reading they would eventually get. He guessed the belts were from 10 to 100 REM per hour(REM stands for Radiation Equivalent Man, it intends to state a dose of one RAD over the entire body of a human; 700 REM over the course of the Apollo missions would have been lethal)... it is curious to note that when Pioneer III managed to get a full count for the two belts, the hot spots in the center of the belts read well over 30,000 particles per second.

The particles are trapped in the magnetosphere of the earth. The inner belt is primarily ionized protons, while the outer belt is primarily ionized electrons. The electrons move along the lines of field, while the protons are mostly stationary. Because of this, the outer belt tends to fluctuate much quicker than the inner belt. This fall out from the solar wind of naturally occurring particles is high in energy, hence, they are energetic particles. When you read about the ongoing battle to solve the question of how to shield against energetic particles, you are dealing with the solar wind. By comparison, the electrons that are charged and then sprayed onto a television tube are 30,000 electron volt particles, whiles the x-ray machine in your doctor's office is spraying you with 100,000 electron volt particles, but the ionized electrons deposited from the solar wind into the radiation belts are 1,000,000 electron volt particles, and those ionized protons in the inner belt average 50,000,000 electron volt particles.

There's a way to make this radiation field look innocuous. The game is to measure the radiation of the ionized particles. This is how the scientists and engineers pretend that the Apollo missions safely crossed the Van Allen belts, they just do the math... for the radiation being emitted by these particles as they exist in space. What that tells you is that if you could teleport the Apollo spaceships into the center of the inner Van Allen belt and then just sit still for 20 minutes and then teleport into the outer belt and sit still for one hour and then teleport again outside the belts ... you would receive hardly any radiation poisoning. I had a guy explain this math to me and thereby prove that the Van Allen belts were no big deal for the Apollo astronauts.

Most of you are aware that the idea NASA fed us was that they flew the spaceships through the fields (at 25,000 miles per hour)... and when you do that, you get a relatively low speed collision between the 3/8 inch aluminum skin of the capsule and the ionized protrons of the inner belts, which in turn produces x-rays and that's when the radiation poisoning gets real. Not every proton is going to make contact, but when they supposedly passed through the areas containing 10,000 particles per second and higher, there was bound to be a lot of collisions. This would have sprayed the men and the contents of the ship with 50 mev particle x-rays. A 2nd opportunity for collision with metal happens at the water containers, giving their drinking water a double dose of radiation poisoning. Drink up fellers, the sun radiated heat at 250 degrees farenheit into the Apollo aluminum panels; which then entered the atmosphere inside the ship via convection... Apollo 13 crew should have been cooked not freezing, but let's stay on track with radiation.

That's why Van Allen guesstimated 10-100 REM/hour for these belts, and let's face it, the particle count ended up reflecting 100 REM/hour. The Russians also measured the field in the early sixties at 75-100 REM/hour. The flight path of Apollo missions would have spent almost half an hour (not 15-20 minutes, because a tangent to earth angle requires 12,000 miles to ascend 8000 miles of radius) in the particle rich region of the inner belt and about one hour in the particle rich region of the outer belt. Apollo 17 supposedly flew immediately after a major major solar event, so the belts would have been buzzing with particles; that mission should have encountered 125 REM passing through the Van Allen belts to start the mission. And let's remember, the drinking water became a reservoir for at least 150 RADs and that count continued to climb as the mission progressed. The five major solar flares that took place on the 8th, 9th, 10th, 15th, and 16th of December 1972 would have piled extra radiation poisoning into the ship, the men, and the water... and those particles are flying at the speed of light, so it was high speed particle collision.
Then there was the prolonged stay on the radioactive moon which also adds more radiation to the men and the water who supposedly landed and took off with only three rockets for directional control (that doesn't work, you need at least four to steer the craft). Finally the mission returned through the belts at the same tangent to earth angle and damned if they didn't charge right back through the particle rich equatorial region. All total, the men and ship got washed with over 300 REM, you might want to check that against what the dosimeters on board and on their suits registered (both of which only read a small fraction of one REM... about what you might expect from the equipment and a quick cargo drop from 35,000 feet) ... and then for the men there was internal poisoning from drinking radioactive water that averaged roughly 200 RAD over the final ten days. (5 REM per year is considered safe for humans.) The drinking water alone would have killed those guys.

The light sensitive Kodak film that was supposedly used by all the Apollo missions is easily destroyed by radiation... 5 REM before processing obscures that film, 25 REM obliterates it. 300 REM is over kill on top of over kill on top of a whole bunch more over kill... the mission returns with dead men and nothing close to a single picture.

We never went to the moon. The CIA sent simulations to Houston to train them and then sent more as the supposed actual manned missions. Half the budget for Apollo was funneled into the Vietnam War. If we really went to the moon 40 years ago, why couldn't we repeat in the past five years? It only took six months in between missions in the sixties, but 40 years later we were behind schedule to fly another mission within the 15 year window? That's progress for ya.
