More Questions Are Raised

After three long months, Randi Rhodes is back on the air waves. Her predecessor, as the song says, "Won't be back till fall", that is, if she comes back at all. One topic that has been up front on the agenda is that or torture, and abuse of governmental power by Donald Rumsfeld and the Bush Administration. It would almost seem that perhaps Dick Chaney and Karl Rove personally witnessed the torture of prisoners, perhaps offering suggestions. I find it a little sickening that the Vice President may have witnessed the tortures as his way of "getting off". They had been planning to release two thousand photographs from Abo-grave. But that was a month ago. Now President Obama has done one of his many whoos-outs and reversed himself on this issue citing the usual right wing talking points. It is just another item in a long list of things that fails to inspire confidence in Obama by his base on the left. Of course they had video tapes from Guantanamo, but these were all destroyed. Many don't like the idea of the release of these photos saying they might somehow be used as a recruiting tool by Al Qaeda. But chances are they have their own photographs circulating already. John Mc Cain has been strangely silent about wanting to see the last administration come clean on all the scandals they were involved in. Now it seems Mc Cain's secrecy extends to his run for President. Apparently he told people he had a secret plan to capture Bin Laden. And all you needed to do to find out what it is was to vote for him and put him in the White House. I don't know if withholding needed information is an actionable offence or not, but it sure isn't very patriotic. I couldn't picture Jack Bower making some deal to become President. But of course there are still questions about 9 - 11 that we don't have answers to. Some radio listener came up with the idea of trying Bin Laden in abstentia. Would there be enough evidence to convict him? Randi Rhodes wants to know why NORAD or whatever that outfit's name is, wasn't in the air defending our country. And why were all the air traffic controler communacations destroyed? What is the government trying to hide by that. There have been countless eye witness reports and things that don't jive at all with the official government explanation as to what exactly destroyed the Twin Towers. Some people die under mysterious circumstances, like one man tortured by the Bush Administration in 2002. If the government will lie about how effective torturing prisoners is, and they have, wouldn't they be inclined to lie about other things, like what hit the pentagon. Some people say that by the physical evidence it could not have been a plane. There is a web site called indict Bush now or something that I haven't visited myself but reccomend it. After I do I'll be back on one of our "Black" blogs to report on it, that is if I haven't been tagged for spam in the mean time.

Foods are coming under so much attack these days. Now they've even taking to "dissing" Cheerios. Of course they want us all upset over one thing or another. If it isn't caffein in the coffee it's "manipulated levels" of nicotine in our cigarettes. Now they are going after Resturants who put too much salt in their food. They had a Simpson's episode a week or so ago where Homer Simpson developed diabetus from too many capachino lattes or whatever. That's something else they want us to worry about. Last Saturday at a family gathering I got a headache from the hoursdeours (?) or whatever. (orderves) The shrinp was awful. It was like eating plastic. Another dip tasted for all the world like it had marijuana in it. I ended up getting a headache and feeling a bit mentally fuzzy. Even though there was an open bar- - I was strong. I didn't have one drop of alcohol. I was inclined to blame the preservatives. But others at a smaller gathering later launched into a tyrade about both coffee and sugar, and the topic of my smoking came up. Only one other brother stood up and defended coffee drinking besides me. I think we all know our bodies, and what substances our bodies like and what substance it doesn't. I have never been a fan of "Diet" anything, myself. I don't like the advent of the Nanny state. And personally I would ease regulations of various prescription drugs, so that doctors can spend their time with people who really have something wrong with them and need treatment.

I would like to at this time have another "Jesus Moment". I'd like to talk about the second of the "Four Jesuses" today. As you know, each person contributed something of Jesus' biography. Personally I would like to get to know the Real Jesus. I bet I'd learn a lot about him I didn't know. If you picked four people to do a biography of me, you'd probably get very different reports because I've had a lot of phases in my life. I've grown and changed. One might think that if Jesus was to be our "example" in life then he likewise would have "grown and changed". It's just a thought. Was Jesus a fan of rubic's cubes? Did he prefer tea with meals, or coffee? Stuff like that. The Jesus we get not only from every Gospell but also from every apocraphal book, even ones about his childhood, are surprisingly one-dimensional. The message can be pretty much summarized as "I am God in the flesh, and if you want to escape Hell when you die you'll get down on your knees and make me Lord of your life. And, oh, by the way I do great meracles, too". That's about it. The thing we get with the 'Yeshua" story is a view we don't get from any Christian gospell. First of all his mother had an affair with a Roman centurian, named Pantera. It just so happens that the gospells are fond of Romans and also Roman centurians. We learn from this Hebrew source that Yeshua had five desciples and none of the names were at all similar to any of the desciples we know about. We know Yeshua was a sorceror. He was charged with the crime of sorcery by the authorities. He was given a period of forty days for someone to come forward in his defence, and nobody did, and after forty days he was taken out and stoned to death. End of story. None of the four Jesuses is connected with John the Baptist. It's not all that inconceivable that many scriptures on the End Times were lifted from John the Baptist's teachings, for we know a central feature of John's message was, "The Messiah is coming".

When it comes to all that Math stuff, it's not that I'm so Smart, it's just that I'm a little less Stupid than the average Joe you see walking down the street. In that vein, I would like to share the following information:

I've been trying to resolve this whole "hyperbolic trig function" thing lately. I've been looking for a modas opperandi - - or reason why the whole thing was invented to begin with. (modas opperandi is the wrong word) In trying to solve one mystery I ended up solving another. I finally Prooved the Pathagarian therum to my satisfaction. I'd never been able to do that mentally before. I was looking under "cartesian equations" for something else- - - and I happened to come accross this equation we all learned in algebra, but that I had forgotten about. x squared + y squared = 4. That graphs out to a circle. So in essence this is almost a founding equation of trigonometry. It proves the pathagarian therum. Picture a door opening and closing. The edge of the door traces out a circular ark, and if the hinges would let it go far enough it would inscribe a full circle. We know from the "quadrents progression" (as I talked about in my last blog) you start from the right and start drawing various right triangles so that the apex hits places on the circle. Look at the two Right Angle lines. These are like the X and Y coordenates of the equation. You add the squares of these together. The only other variable is the swinging door, and doors don't change lengths as they are swung. So if the door is always two feet by two feet, the area is always going to be four. (That diagram they include in the geometry books never did make sense to me) And now we move on to hyperbolic trig: The key equation with hyperbolic functions is x squared - y squared = 1. (One) This equation as it were is what turns trigonometry "inside out", which seems to be necessary at times. Like the other trigonometry- - it's all wrapped up in the ninety degree thing. This equation will give you two hyperbolas on each side of the zery Y plane and each one will be bisected by the x plane. From here it's simple. The sine and cosine of hyperbolic math- - analogus to circle math- - is just the X and Y coordenates of each point on the hyperbola, with the ratio being the derived tangent I was twisting my mind trying to come up with "what is a hyperbolic triangle? The ratio between the straight lines of that will still be a tangent. But the hypotenus won't be a real hypotenus. There are all sorts of equations that use hyperbolic math - - and among these are equations used in "magnetic theory" and I looked that up. They use stuff about Maxwell, king of the ether theory - - and those two guys who ran the experiment of the speed of light testing for "ether wind" that Einstein refuted. One thing threw me. They said that a hyperbolic tangent was the key to additive speed of light measurements. As you may or may not know - - the hyperbolic tangent is another of these figures that approaches ONE but never reaches it. But I ran the numbers and the math didn't add up so I went back and read more carefully. What it said was the FORMULA for additive velocities is the same formula as the one used for adding hyperbolic tangents together. So it's kind of like two things that are Done in a Similar Way but are otherwise not related. Here is the formula in question. ( htan A + htan B ) divided by one plus htan A TIMES htan B. That's the formula munus the volicity of light. Einstein already knew this formula before he got started and just applied it to a new area. I consider it perhaps the most important formula of Special Relativity.
