RAY AND TOM MAGLIOZZI: CLICK AND CLACK TALKIN' SMACK

The Lasting Legacy of the “Clamp-It” Brothers:   Reverential Worship At the Vatican City of Anachronistic Endulgences (Energy-"E"-ndulgences)

 by John A. Flushing CPW News Services Commentary

     Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel The Brothers Karamazov (1879–1880) envisioned the Grand Inquisitor who made damn sure that the faithful followers went with the dominant program.   Most historians agree that the Roman Catholic Church’s Grand Inquisitor was actually Tomás de Torquemada for whom Mel Brooks wrote the song “The Inquisition” in his film History of the World.   

    Granted, Ray and Tom Magliozzi soft sell the place of the world’s most anachronistic  endulgence….fossil fuels, but from the basilica of the dominant U.S. Brahman whale oil, then petrol oil power elites, "Click" and "Clack" tow the line from the Vatican City of fossil fuel’s Bishop….Caleb Cushing.

     On Boston’s Copley Square, Cushing worshiped God at the Anglican Church near Tom and Ray’s Harvard Square and  sailed to China to negotiate the Wanghia Treaty spotting whale oil sources along the way and returned only to find whaling taking a back seat to drilling.    In time Cushing, Oklahoma became the Mecca and Medina of American subterranean oil flow with Cushing, Oklahoma's spigot setting the price of crude oil in America for over 100 years.   With the advent of Henry Ford’s gasoline autos…..Diesel fuel was around, but Mr. Diesel could not calibrate his promotion of the Diesel engine like Ford could the gasoline engine….especially after he slipped, was pushed, or dumped overboard in the Atlantic on his voyage to America to do just that.

    Tom and Ray Magliozzi are the Grand Inquisitors for the fossil fuel  confirmation process.   Each week the faithful listen or call in to glean some new way of appeasing the insatiable appetite of the carbon-fuel deity.  Gasoline, internal combustion engines, rods, pistons, gear shafts, crank cases, sprockets and bearings need the sanctified gifts now privatized by Exxon, Chevron, Shell, Texaco, AC/Delco, O’Reilly’s or Auto-Zone and sold like sacrificial pigeons, goats and bulls in the Temple’s outer courtyard. 

     Sure, there are new arrivals like St. Francis appearing at the Vatican steps to implore Pope Innocent to take a new direction and to jettison the old, monolithic model, but where would the dungeons filled with the pounding of pumping pistons from carefully controlled explosions be in their future?    While Bolivia contemplates its place in the world’s future Lithium supply, Bechtel tries to steal its water.  While serious scientists try to provide the hydrogen fuel cell as the next Franciscan-Copernican revolution, the American fossil fuel fairies try to convince the world that LPG makes the electrolysis process for fracturing oxygen from hydrogen more efficient….like Imperial Sugar Company mixing sugar with stevia because it’s better for you while snatching up all the South American stevia plantations with Coca-Cola, Pepsi and the other new “United Fruit Companies” of the 21^st Century.  

      NASA, meanwhile, continues to shoot rockets into space with hydrogen propellants while the NAS cars loop the tracks burning high octane fossil fuels, "new" Formula One tracks are being built to burn petrol as all the while the EPCOT (Experimental Planned Community of Tomorrow)  electric tram in Orlando speeds along at 40 mph while Europe, China and Japan move toward “90 minutes  from New York to Paris….undersea by rail".   Click and Clack, meanwhile, continue to rattle the rosary beads of high speed regression fueling global warming and the rising waters in New York's and Boston’s subways.

    Enter the Hindenburg.   No one remembers that the Hindenburg made 11 successful transatlantic flights before its explosive touchdown in New Jersey.  One investigator says that the explosion was likely set and the burning was not the hydrogen, but the painted zeppelin skin.  

     Enter David Seo, the undergraduate physics student at UCB, Berkley who takes the hydrogen discussion out of the realm of xenoglossia.   David Seo ran on-line the mathematical formula for the output of hydrogen from  a single gallon of H20….water…. and concluded:  “If every single one of those molecules was converted into hydrogen we would get twice as much hydrogen as we had of water or 2.53 x 10 to the 26^th power molecules of hydrogen.  However, since hydrogen is a diatomic molecule, meaning that the hydrogen that we talk about is H2, we would get 1.265 x 10 to the 26^th power molecules of hydrogen at 1 atmospheric pressure and 273K, 1 mole of hydrogen fills approximately 22.4 liters of volume, so 1.265 x 10 to the 26^th power molecules or about 210 moles, would fill 4707 Liters of volume.”

   Whoever moves the world away from this Vatican City of Anachronistic Endulgences and the Meccas and Medinas that also sit atop the sludge will be the Jonas Salk of the next generation, but without Salk's fanfare.  Whoever moves in this new direction should expect to be like Zwingli or Huss, Copernicus and Galileo, Einstein...cordoned off from the Manhattan Project….or Robert Oppenheimer….stripped of his national security clearance…..under house arrest or burned at the stake!   Where is Bill Gates or Warren Buffet with a prize for the perfecting the process of highly efficient fracturing of oxygen and hydrogen with the award going to the process that come closest to hitting the 4707 Liter mark?   Do that and the world can talk later about where, whether and how to monetize it. 

    Sadly, the greatest missed opportunity of the Twentieth Century....hell, of all times....was when John F. Kennedy said from Houston's Rice Stadium on September 12, 1962..."President Pitzer, Mr. Vice President, Congressman Thomas, Senator Wiley and Congressmen Miller, Mr. Webb, Mr. Bell, scientists, distinguished guests, and ladies and gentlemen......This country was conquered by those who moved forward--and so will space."  Of course, Dr. Pitzer had his nose so far up the Texas oil barons asses that he could smell nothing else as evidenced by his discrediting of Robert Oppenheimer, but here's the kicker....."We choose to go to the moon, not because it's easy, but because it's hard."      And the greatest missed opportunity of ALL time:  "And we choose to do it using only hydrogen fuel which we will then use to fuel our personal transportation systems on a clean planet!"  Can you imagine the power of that vision unleashed in Houston where there is not yet the Al Gore Center for Global Warming next to the Burke Baker Planetarium and where Elon Musk and others have pinched the incense of earth's sold-out souls?  Cambridge and Harvard would have easily housed the NASA program had JFK....a Roman Catholic within a tradition of denying anything other than the myth that the earth....and its carbon-based sludge pockets....are the center of the universe!  There will be those who say....well, carbon fuels were ALL we had?  Bull shit!  We had the Hindenburg and it could have lifted Alan Shepherd over 20 miles before the hydrogen that lifted him there was used to propel the future astronauts to Tranquility Bay.  If you don't think this is accurate go to Houston, Texas during rush hour and sit in traffic while crossing the hundreds of bayous that are natural right-of-ways for the high speed electric, magnetized trams that have never been built!  Obviously JFK's head would have been blown off not in Dallas, but in Houston on that day, but what a proper and fitting sacrifice for a lost and disoriented humanity!

     Meanwhile, “Click” and “Clack” click and clack and Bechtel and the fossil formulators work overtime to control not only the world's lithium for the next generation of car batteries, but its H20 as well!

Reginald J. Brown Orbits Jeb Bush, but which Brown?

“Just War” or JUST War!   More Bush-Wacking In Store For America in 2016
Justin D. Fluke, CPW News Services

     With 2016 quickly approaching and former Florida Governor, Jeb Bush, positioning himself for his insertions into the annals of American politics, an expanding number of concerned citizens are refusing to stoop for a repeat of the former Bush years.

    “Yes, in spite of Barbara Bush’s claim that there are other families that should lead the nation, and when did we elect families instead of individuals?   She is clearly backing the legacy of the Bush dynastic tradition and primogenitor-based model that prides itself on stroking the rising ambitions of Middle East monarchs and dictators or long ago jettisoned European royals,” said  Twilly Roganer of the Society for the Resurrection of the Guillotine in Tucumcari, New Mexico.

     “All you have to do is look at the orbit of Jeb Bush’s upcoming advisers.  Well, don’t look at all of them.  Take one representative sample, but first consider this.  The 1833 Yale Skull & Bones fraternity, founded by the Russell and Taft families, quickly solidified their grip on the nation with help from Alexander Brown of Baltimore.   Brown’s fortunes like the Russell's were based upon shipping and transportation which included everything from whaling to “China Trading,” a synonym for opium smuggling.  In time they set the legal and illegal prices and shifted their fortunes to oil drilling….thus the passage of the proposed Keystone Pipeline through Cushing, Oklahoma where the name “Cushing” immediately  identifies with the name of Caleb Cushing who negotiated the Wanghia Treaty of 1844 which provided for the Order’s  slick insertion into the dumping of Middle Eastern opium from Afghanistan, Turkey, Pakistan and thereabouts in China….thus triggering a series of opium wars and eventually the Chinese Cultural Revolution which rejected Western ambitions, built as they were on latent slavery posing as the rise of a growing middle class and the wholesale chemical shackling of a generation of Chinese or so Mao argued while launching his own brutal counter punches," said Roganer.

   “Yea, well Mao was nuts and these guys were the God Fathers of Capitalism gone wild.  A similar thing happened in Cuba during the Castro revolution there,” said Roganer, with the same ill effect.  Left or right leadership sucks!"

   “Take Reginald J. Brown,” said Roganer.

   “Which one?” I asked.  

     “Not the one who was buried at West Point in 2005.  He was Assistant Secretary for the Global War on Terrorism and was responsible for shoving so many of the home guard into battle in Iraq and Afghanistan and whose eulogy was delivered by U.S. Deputy Secretary of the Treasury, Robert K. Kimmit, whose brother was Deputy Director of the Iraq Provisional Government, Mark Kimmit.     That Robert K. Kimmit, by the way, was a lawyer for Sidley Austin law firm in Springfield, Illinois that employed Mrs. Michelle Obama and is the historic Republican law firm that kept Mrs. Mary Todd Lincoln out of the luny bin.  Sidley Austin took the lead on the defense of GWB's definition of torture for the enhanced renditioning argument and for about a decade the Wilmer and Hale law firm in Washington D.C. found its attorney, C. Boyden Gray, son of Gordon Gray, whose attack on Robert Oppenheimer led to "Oppy" to be stripped of his national security clearance, worked for the Bush White House.  Both Gray's, dyed-in-the-wool Federalists, are heirs of the R.J. Reynolds tobacco company which found transparency a difficult subject for  its key investors....U.S. tobacco smokers.  Robert K. Kimmit was also a lawyer for Wilmer, Cutler, Pickering, Hale and Dorr that became Wilmer and Hale.  It’s hard to follow the script when the names so often change isn’t it?” asked Roganer.

     “Not THAT Reginald J. Brown.  It’s the other one that serves Jeb Bush.   Okay, so he, too, like Kimmit, works for Wilmer Hale Law Firm in Washington, DC  and was a stellar student at Yale Law School.    This is the other Reginald J. Brown who served as White House Counsel from 2003 to 2005 when WMD’s were in hiding somewhere in Iraq, but never found.      His law firm states:

Mr. Brown previously served in the White House Counsel's office, where he was the White House's principal legal liaison to the Departments of Treasury and Housing and Urban Development, as well as many independent financial services agencies. In this role, he provided counsel on a wide variety of issues. Mr. Brown also served as a counselor for the White House Office of Political Affairs, Presidential Personnel Office and the National Economic Council.

     Apparently his wise counsel did not help Theodore “Ted” Westhusing in Iraq’s Green Zone when he told General David Petraeus that the Iraq War was simply a botched bamboozling cluster fxxx,” said Roganer.   “This Reginald J. Brown was also Jeb Bush’s Deputy  General Counsel when he was Florida Governor,” said Roganer.

     Roganer, who lost several ancestors at Harper’s Ferry during the lead-up to the Civil War said “Alexander Brown of Baltimore’s family owned the Merchant Shot Tower that employed James Hamlet, the musket ball maker and slave who became the test case for the fugitive slave laws.  That law kick started the Civil War, returned James Hamlet to his job making musket balls and here we are two hundred years later with the obvious evolution of events that in the end will return the black Brown brothers to the jobs of dropping hot lead down and chimney while sending their lead bullets to kill their dark skinned cousins in some corner of the globe that’s sitting on oil or minerals or opium.  Also in Baltimore was Fred Bailey, also known as Frederick Douglass, who after working in the Gardner opium clipper ship yard in Alexander Brown's hometown, went on to become the leading African American voice in the abolitionist cause which Boston's Caleb Cushing opposed and showed his opposition by inviting the Confederacy future president, Jeff Davis, to Faneuil Hall to push the slavery agenda....the same Boston landmark where Douglass, Fred Bailey, opposed it.”  Indeed, Roganer's logic was backed up by the 1999 book by Stanford University professor and archeologist, Thomas Layton, whose Voyage of the Frolic: New England Merchants and the Opium Trade (Stanford University Press) verified that this record breaking opium clipper that was sunk in Mendocino County, California in 1850, was built at the same Gardner shipyard that employed Douglass, was part of the galaxy of the Russell Trust of Yale's New England opium trading families.

    Roganer is concerned that the first Reginald J. Brown who died in 2005 in Solomons, Maryland and was buried at West Point may have  descended from the owners of the slaves in Baltimore like James Hamlet whose name may have been changed several times, but remembered for the power of "Hamlet" to incite people to that profitable program for musket ball makers.....war.  "It could have all been settled so much more wisely," said Roganer, "but wise leadership is, sadly, a huge myth."

     Roganer is also concerned that these connections may be what fuels the interest in personalities like Donald Rumsfeld whose ownership of Maryland's Mount Misery Plantation where Frederick Douglass was "renditioned" by a noted "slave breaker" before being returned to slavery in the South, was exposed by Democracy Now's Amy Goodman and others.  "Of course you have to add to that fact that Rumsfeld and Dan Rather who attacked GWB's Texas National Guard record in 2004 co-owned a 9,000 acre ranch in Las Vegas, New Mexico with Rumsfeld and that the GWB story was known by Rather's producer, Mary Mapes, in 2000 during the Bush/Gore election back when keeping another Bush out of the White House may have saved us the international embarrassment of the 1999-2008 debacle of endless warfare and an economy in melt-down," said Roganer.

    “To be or not to be!  That is the question!”  said Roganer.  “And if I was asked to carry water for Jeb Bush, I’d sure as hell piss in it in as much as we, the people, have had to drink a sxxx-load of Bush piss!”

    “Alexander Brown of Baltimore was the progenitor of the National City Bank which would link to Fritz Thyssen’s Union Bank of New York and to  the backing in the 1930’s of the German American Bund’s “Business Plot” which two-time Congressional Medal of Honor winner,  General Smedley Darlington Butler,  exposed and then wrote his book War Is A Racket,” said Roganer.   Roganer said that Brown was also to be thanked for the evolution of Brown & Root, Kellogg-Brown & Root, now KBR whose fortunes are organically tied to foreign wars.

    "Here I am in sunny Florida, a state that elected a close associate of Jeb's from Texas, Richard Scott, the former CEO of Columbia-HCA Hospitals and who took his "severance package" after the company folded, $400 million,  while his leadership brought a  $1.7 billion Medicare fraud fine and he essentially bought the Florida Governorship in a state where the citizens are, frankly,  the Hole--In-The-Wall-Gang," said Roganer.  "On second thought, Butch Cassidy and Sundance robbed E.H. Harriman's Union Pacific for whose family would work Prescott Bush at Brown Brother's Harriman in New York.  Let me offer another analogy.  Florida is the retirement home for the Boss Tweed bullies."

     Roganer claims that Reginald J. Brown, the West Pointer, was in a powerful position relative to the New England power brokers.   What he calls those "uppity Yale-ites that like to pull everyones' strings."

    Indeed Reginald J. Brown, West Pointer who, like Col. Theodore "Ted" Westhusing taught at the Academy and is now buried in the same West Point cemetery where Westhusing's grave site forever serves as a critique of the brutal and unjust system that put him there....with help from his peers.   This Reginald J. Brown  succeeded Richard M. Bissell on August 4, 1989 as the Assistant Administrator of the Agency for International Development of the United States' International Development Cooperation Agency.  Bissell, a former CIA Agent, was appointed to that post before Brown and while at the CIA was responsible for the U2 spy plane and the Bay of Pigs invasion.  "Reginald J. Brown, the West Pointer,  was appointed to replace Bissell by George Herbert Walker Bush.  I can't imagine that these Brown brothers....not unlike Brown Brothers and Harrimans, aren't seriously connected," said Roganer.

   "I understand that Brown died of pancreatic cancer.  I don't believe that he was murdered, but anything is possible when dealing with these dark alliances within the U.S. or any other imperial power and the U.S. is the most powerful nation on earth.  There is a list of chemicals that induce pancreatic cancer quickly in male rats and if Brown showed any sympathy for the issues that Westhusing raised relative to the Iraq War or felt an outwardly discernible remorse for his part in the build up, well.  That list includes the following chemicals:

• 2-Amino-5-nitrophenol,
• Benzyl acetate,
• Butyl benzyl phthalate,
• Chlorendic acid,
• Cinnamyl anthranilate,
• Dichlorvos,
• 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole,
• Roxarsone,
• 2,4 & 2,6-Toluene-diisocyanate,
• 1,2,3-Trichloropropane

 

 

Out of Africa, Sharia Law and the Earth's Rotational Spin

Scientist Sees Human Evolution Waning

By Akooni Mochaddo King CPW News Services

     Science has taught us that all human beings descended from a common African ancestor sometimes referred to as “Mitochondrial Eve”.   The succeeding generations  of those that exited Africa where the earth's rotational speed at the Equator is faster than at the poles, like the outer edge of a turning carousel, is reflective of the 1,042 mile per hour equatorial spin versus the slower speeds as ones migrates toward the northern or southern regions.   "Out of Africa" indicates that human evolutionary development and the migration away from the equator was clearly going against the “flow”.  This is according to Dr. Medicus Dominion White of the Society of Scientists for Migration Analysis or SSMA.  "Migrates, like Canadian retirees or 'snowbirds' that just after retirement find themselves sucked toward the equator demonstrating that the entropy associated with no longer having the will or energy to resist the centrifugal pull toward the spinning circumference demonstrate the science," said White.

   “Yes, it’s true, though water will not all collect at the equator just because of the faster rotational spin of the earth at that locale, there are some significant factors mitigating against Northern and Southern polar migrations.  Those species and sub species that moved toward the colder climates and against the centrifugal force of earth at the Equator are clearly dissatisfied with the status quo, they only grudgingly sing songs like Bobby Ferrin's "Don't Worry Be Happy" or Pharrell Williams blockbuster celebration of contentment, "Happy", which has had a phenomenal 230 million internet downloads, mostly from people living along the equator.  For that reason alone it is no surprise that breakthroughs in science and technology came much more from those climates where innovation was essential for survival.”

    When asked  “Does this fact inform the growth of Sharia Law in Sub-Saharan Africa and the recent kidnapping of school girls in Nigeria?”   White indicated that the recent insertion of the U.S. military into the humanitarian search for the girls complicated the evaluation of what is really going on there.  When a U.S. Naval installation was targeted by a Chevron contractor which has, along with every other oil company, financial interests in Nigerian oil and other resources which are currently being siphoned out of Nigeria's Southern delta along Africa's Western "bulb", and then it gets complicated.   "Here we have the U.S. coming to the aid of the kidnapped girls, but who knows who really ordered the operation?" asked White.   "White men saving black girls if a marvelous PR program for an ongoing military incursion," White stated.   “Why can't the Nigerian military do it themselves?   Because their leadership is selling bogus investments to retired Americans via the internet?  Plus, girls are, generally speaking, easier to catch than boys and on the Serengeti the predators lazily pick off the slower game.  So, yes,  Sharia law certainly could find this a marvelously fertile soil for expansion, while the Muslims pride themselves on their religious advances and lose to the more advanced political, economic and military gyrations of their saviors.  You see it’s easy to cut off peoples hands and limbs when there is no need to incorporate them into the tribe where the tropical heat eliminated the need for fanning the fires’ flames  to bring heat and warmth.   We're not talking about a sophisticated assault on the larger tribe like bankers trying to control the whole planet which plays against this practical application of liberal values, shared governance,  and utilitarian principles.    It’s no surprise, therefore, that the more liberal Western philosophy found in  the Enlightenment, Renaissance and Reformation of Northern Europe bespeaks what we think of as the steady march of progress….in spite of the ways that progress has often more effectively served evil….and here I am thinking of the Hun's weapon making capabilities that thanks to Jewish “Out of Africa” innovations….as with Albert Einstein….when coupled with Werner Von Braun’s missile making and….well, you can fill in the blanks," said White.
     Today we have become so advanced that we are still using carbon based fossil fuels, of which 'Mitochondrial Eve’s' bones are a part, to send rocket ships into outer space.    Every Forth of July we ooh and ahh at Roman candles exploding overhead using sulfur and charcoal while NASA astronaut, Gordon Cooper and the highly decorated son of the Lear Jet inventor, John Lear, swore that there are aliens flying around the earth using some advanced form of propulsion that long ago left the world's oil refineries in the cosmic dust. We are a candle rapidly burning down the tallow of our existence,” said Dr. White.  “We need a new age of Enlightenment and clearly with what we see going on in the world....well,  we are rapidly moving away from that possibility.   On the other hand, if aliens are looking for an excellent source of carbon dioxide to feed the greenery on their planet, we are fulfilling our destiny.  They must have mind blowing ways of transporting it to their solar systems," White concluded.

7 Days In May Celebrate Healing and Hope Not Canonballs and Prosthetics

CINCO de MAYO and NATIONAL NURSES DAY

Carlos Castenada la Paz CPW News Service

     In 1974, Richard Nixon declared National Nurse Week to begin on May 6^th and ending on May 12^th, Florence Nightengale’s birthday….seven days in May.

     Beginning with the Chicano movement of the 1970’s there has been a conscious effort particularly among Latins in the American Southwest to incorporate the 5^th of May into the nursing week celebration.

     On the 5^th of May in 1862 as the U.S. was locked in a Civil War that uncivilly killed 600,000 soldiers,  France saw an opportunity to annex Mexico.   The Mexican General born at La Bahia in Goliad, Texas in 1829, Ignatio Seguin Zaragoza, repelled the French with about 80 Mexican deaths and 1000 French soldiers killed.

     While the U.S. owed its liberation from Britain to the assistance of the French who later sold the U.S. the Louisiana Purchase for $15 million, the deaths of 601,080 killed in the combined U.S., Mexican and French battles of the 1860’s has little to do with the values that nurses pursue according to Maude Souchers, RN of Hopewell, New Mexico.  Souchers is President of Nurses Against the Racket of War.

     “Florence Nightingale believed that murderous warfare was detrimental to human health and to latch the nursing agenda to a celebration of warfare, U.S. , French, Mexican, Inca or Celtic is total bull sxxx,” said Souchers.
