Waiting for the Other Shoe To Drop

I have only heard one reference to the release of all that Kennedy assassination material they’ve been storing for 54 years, and then they said the material would be released later today.   I’m wondering when Robert Muller is going to release all of his findings on the Trump administration he’s gathered over the past year.  Hopefully he’s acquired a lot of good information from now.  The good news is that Muller hasn’t been fired yet and this wasn’t a foregone conclusion.   They are running those ads on the TV now saying for you the viewer to write or call your congressman about getting going on this impeachment move that seems hopelessly stalled.   I think I’ve seen one suggestion of charges to levy against President Trump from Washington’s blog or somewhere.  One day they had reasons to get rid of trump, and then by another of their writers, reasons why we must keep Donald Trump as president.  I’m of the school of thought that says we need to get rid of Trump as soon as possible because I do believe he is psychologically unfit for office.  He brags that he’s gone to all of these Ivy League schools and presumably has passed a lot of mentally challenging courses and thus is a “well rounded college grad”.  But he doesn’t talk like one.  He talks like a truck driver who dropped out of high school.  Sometimes using simple words can be a plus in getting your point across, but Trump has carried this simplistic crudity way too far.  He has not only lowered the bar but I think the bar hit him on the head on the way down.   But Bannon should keep on talking about this vast number of “establishment Republicans who are dead set against this President.   He’s singing the liberals’ song.  It’s just a few isolated Trump in the administration who believe that the majority of Republicans are basically behind him. 


The Rev Chuck Smith used to talk about a mystery of science nobody has been able to solve.  We all learned that the nucleus of the atom is made up of protons and neutrons with electrons going around.  Chuck asks,  why don’t all of those positively charged electrons fly off in all directions and end up destroying all matter in the Universe?  Science has come up with an ad hoc answer of a “strong force” whose sole purpose is to hold all these protons in their place in the nucleus so they don’t go flying off.   These is another mystery of science.  This involves the universal expansion of the Universe seemingly going on forever.   Anywhere you are in this universe, all you see are stars flying away from you.  It’s known as “the red shift” just like the voting machines in Ohio.   Receding light gets shifted to the left or “red” side.  In fact now they say that the rate of this expansion is constantly accelerating and this expansion is now believed to exceed the speed of light, which is something.  Scientists say this can’t go on forever but at some point the Universe will lack cohesion and dissolve.  The writers of “The Priveleged Planet” go further and say that earth HAS to be in a certain surrounding star density.   They say in the direction of Sagittarius it’s too “dense” for life because of some cosmic force there.  My friends from the Federation told me the same thing.   There is also talk about “universal cooling”.  (as opposed to global warming)  So is it that the universe might just become “too cold?”  We then have another mystery involving Black Holes.   I am currently of the school that once a Black Hole forms it drops out of this Universe and can’t grow any more.  It can’t continue to roam through the Universe like a giant vacuum cleaner sucking out stars into it.  But now we have the question as to what happens when two Black Holes collide.  This is said to have been observed happening a couple of weeks back, though all you really see is an artist rendering of the event.  Personally I don’t think scientists have ever photographed a black hole let alone two of them colliding.  This is where gravity waves have been observed and hence is proof of their existence a century after Einstein predicted that gravity came in waves.  But what happens “When Universes Collide”.  It sounds like a good Sci Fi movie plot.   Was this Universe once a Black Hole?  Does the birth of a Universe coincide with the observance of a new Black Hole in the mother universe?  These are questions that science would like to solve.   We’re always learning.  I just wish we’d learn at a faster pace.  

Last night I watched the Dodgers and the Astros starting at the top of the first inning.  The Astros scored first.  Then the Dodgers tied it up at one to one.  The Dodgers scored two more times in the sixth inning so it was 3 to 1.  Then in the eighth there was some bad fielding and the Astros made it three to two.  At this point it was just after eight and I decided to watch “Riverdale” figuring the Dodgers were going to win.  But in the morning I learn that the Astros won the game in “ one of the wildest games ever” and they showed a chronology time-line and video clips of the game.  The Astros tied it in the ninth making it 3 to 3.  But then there was more scoring in the tenth and eleventh innings and the Astros ended up winning the game 7 to 6.   Bones told me that he was rooting for the Astros this series.  At the time I figured the Astros would take one of the five games just like the Dodgers let the A’s have a game in 1988 and won in five.  But then I talked to someone from the Federation who also said the Federation was supporting the Astros.  I still didn’t take it seriously because my faith in the Federation is at a low ebb these days.   The Federation also fixed it go the Giants would beat the Denver Broncos in a game that weekend, “just to prove that they could do it”. 

 There is one issue in finding truth that people often ignore and that’s the idea of simplicity.  Now some say “The big lie” works because it’s so far fetched and complicated that it just HAS to be true.  But the simpler solution of course that “The big lie” itself IS a lie.  People won’t allow themselves to believe that.  One Truth the left can peddle successfully is “The poor and minorities are getting screwed”.  That’s a one-liner that’s succinct and I believe it’s accurate.  Some parents might tell their little boy or girl who asks “You were created because your Mommy and Daddy love each other very much”.  It’s accurate but only to a point and skirts the main issue of sex.  Others would say that Creationism is a “simpler” doctrine then Evolution.  Well, you can make evolution pretty succinct by saying “Survival of the fittest”.  It’s not quite as “simple” as Genesis 1, but it’s close.  Certainly the sun being the center of the solar system is a simpler explanation on sight then the spiral looping theories the Ptolomies had for centuries.   The doctrine of Christian salvation is simple, but it’s also, shall we say, “non apparent”.  That is there seems to be no immediate evidence which we can see.  For this reason I don’t believe this explanation explains anything.   In computer programming there are times when you aren’t as succinct as you ought to be, you may use a lot of redundant variables, or variables that can be reduced down to one variable.  “Global warming” is a simple phrase.  But people would rather deny the obvious than believe it.  I think too many people don’t “look at where the clues are pointing” like that double impostor scenario on Days of our Lives.  They literally deny what their senses are telling them.   There is a theory of classic music that goes “A good symphonic composition will have this quality of inevitability about it”.  That is, that it doesn’t have a “thrown together” quality but seems to be woven from a single organic fabric.
