The great physics contest-update summary
I have been forced, in the resultant void (as it were) of physic, to fill these pages with stories of the past and discussions of geopolitical interest which unfortunately are inadequate to date to wake the lethargic populace of the United States and the occasional poem. Many references have been and will continue to be made to World War C which discusses the natural consequences (in fictional format) of a failure to act and the book of rhetoric, China's Weaponized Economy, which discusses the solutions to the present problems in detail and which will be followed up with a second edition, but not for some time.
Past entries discuss these issues in various levels of detail pending some summarization due in the not too distant future along with the possible publication of a book of poetry under the current title based on the draft poem "looking for life's playbook" although "behind the square is clearly a close second.
If anything (short of a block of physicists comments to cover faster than light travel) is of particular interest, please feel free to suggest I follow it more immediately and I will endeavor to obligate myself accordingly.
life's playbook
the one that tells how to build out of brick
not houses from thatch
you can put thatch back up when it blows down
but with brick you can build bigger
and brick lasts forever
though life does not
I went looking for life's playbook
the one that doesn't talk about dying
or explain why we're here
the one with the right golden rule
whether do under others,
do first or he who has the gold
i cannot remember which
but it is in life's playbook
how to form a table
when a friend needs to sit
or how to have someone pose on arms and legs
when you need a place to write
the one that explains love
and doesn't say it could be
the one for sale at any store for 19.95
the one that explains you
how to find you
how to live with you
how to make me love you
only when I want to love you
and tells me how to have you
without requiring i understand you
and how to make you understand me
without requiring i love you
that explains how to live
and how to live with you
today I am looking
for life's playbook
china korea war-capabilities spying
What better way for the Chinese to test the capabilities of US Army than to bring those forces out.
Even if hostilities are not engaged, the Chinese get to test us capabilities, expend resources us while they act innocent.
Even were hostilities to break out, none could be maintained against Chinese interference or, if you would, disapproval. Such is the might of China's economy.
China has the ability to control both sides. What could NKG do if their borders were closed? Nothing. They would be totally isolated.
Distraction from the real economic war continues to be a primary goal, but what better way than to create hostility against the United States and simultaneously observe, distract and weaken your enemy. If things played out correctly, they might even acquire dominance over the South Korean manufacturing juggernaught. One cannot rule out involvement of South Korea, but that would be unlikely. However the existence of pro China factions in south Korea is as certain as China involvement in the north. The failure of the us intelligence community on this issue is less surprising than its failure to see the Chinese economic war long after it was lost.
The question of the day is "where is Russian intelligence and interest"? Their proximity and less corrupted government (less but still corrupted) must have some idea what is happening and yet are surprisingly quiet.

The Chinese - Korean War
For those who would believe that China does not support the North Korean, as either a sponsored act of international terrorism or perhaps just a distraction, you need only think how an Enemy as economically weak as North Korea could take on a superior economically based country like South Korea if they also had to protect their northern border.
This would not be possible. It means that the Koreans have an ally, if not a sponsor. They both seek the same result, the defeat of the western manufacturing empire which will lead to the failure of the economies and which will make it impossible for them to field an effective army.
The worst part of this is that China has already largely defeated the United States' manufacturing, already we cannot build our own technology for our army and rely on our enemy, economically the end is very nearly here and the fall of the army will be inevitable. These wars are designed to further weaken and distract the United States, not to defeat them militarily. That is being done on the manufacturing battleground.
There are solutions, but only for those who can act immediately.
the lost years - the motorcycle incident
First, however, there was a story from the old neighborhood, the motorcycle.
The first time he became disconnected took place on a strange road. It was a sidewalk for foot traffic between two neighborhoods. the type of thing that existed in 1967 but which would later be blocked with a fence to keep the lesser neighborhood from interacting with the good one.
He walked with a friend down this strange road when a motorcycle came roaring past. He was about to lose his one best friend to the closing of the air force base, a reaction against an out of control war in Asia. Not thinking, because he didn't think before he acted, he let a sheet of paper go which somehow found it's mark and hit the faceplate of the rider. How is it possible that he could have done this, that he would have been at this spot at this time and with a sheet of paper when the motorcycle came roaring past? He was 8 or perhaps 9 years old. but he was smart. Smart enough to know that it was not right to toss the paper. He was not smart enough to understand that he needed to think before he acted. It was something bad.
Years later an older man would be smart enough to realize that it was not right to ride a motorcycle down a walking path, but that was not what the 8 year old thought. The motorcycle rider far in the future would be him, but now it was someone else, someone bigger and everyone was bigger sometimes. The biker circled back. The young boy stood frozen. There was no way to run. The rider stopped and got off of his motorcycle and he screamed. The words seem lost in time. You should not do that. Are you crazy? Are you an idiot? That was the tone of the conversation. Perhaps the grown up from the future could have asked, "what kind of idiot rides down a sidewalk on a motorcycle past small kids." The boy said nothing, tears in his eyes.
He felt an intense sadness, for he had acted without thinking. But it was only the beginning. Later, he would see the motorcycle again. it was down the street and it appeared that people he knew, small people like himself, for some reason looking back he envisioned a beautiful girl with them. They were gathered around the motorcycle. He wanted to go and see the motorcycle too, to talk with the girl, but he was ashamed. The motorcycle rider would recognize him. Years in the future an older person would tell him, "go, apologize. tell him you were not thinking. he may not forgive you, but he may forgive you." But that older person was not around.

uncomfortable
You want to do something to separate from it
when the things around you have all turned on you
when it seems like there is no way to overcome
and we are so out of focus
that the great things are forgotten
the air we breath, the sunshine
these things are temporary like our problems
and knowing they are temporary
that what makes life worth living
and what makes us so uncomfortable
means that we need to find a way
to make ourselves comfortable
to put things into focus
or to change the focus
so that we enjoy the good things
learn to let the scary ones go
at least most of the time
and make room in our lives
for love, acceptance, peace
even if the peace is surrounded by war
