The beginning of the end of the us military-China's weaponized economy

http://www.aol.com/article/2014/02/24/budget-cuts-to-slash-u-s-army-to-smallest-since-before-world-wa/20837391/?icid=maing-grid7%7Chtmlws-main-bb%7Cdl33%7Csec1_lnk1%26pLid%3D447147

It is not the shrinking of the army that I protest, it is the reason behind it.  I did, after all predict this several years back in both China's Weaponized economy and in World War C.  Instead it is the reason for the dismantlement of our army which is both predictable and inevitable I fear.  The reasons are twofold.
The first is alluded to by Dick Cheny.  http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/02/25/dick-cheney-obama_n_4853523.html.  He incorrectly identifies this as a food for guns program which it is and is not.  It is instead about corrupt politicians pondering to special interest, Obama has his, and Cheny another.  This is the disease which has destroyed our system and which I have developed at least some minor treatment for in China's Weaponized Economy, the second edition of which may never be written due to the many requirements of my time.  Whether it is the Chinese or someone else, my scientific inquiries are important if we are to save either (an unlikely scenario even over the short term, but the only optimistic one).
And what are the chances that short term, medium term and long term consequences were considered as compared to the immediate political expediency of the actions?  If you said anything other than zero, then I applaud your optimism.
But that is only one of two.  The second is that we have outsourced our economy and cannot continue to maintain our military.  This unfortunate spiral means that we will be giving up the last part of the economy which supports what little technology and cutting edge manufacturing we retained.  In other words, it is the complete capitulation economically to China's weaponized economy.  Congratulations comrades!
And lest any of you want to know what the end result of this is, you need only order a copy of World War C.

It was a warm evening in Elia. A cool breeze is blowing in from the Tirrenian sea.
Young Socrates comes in, again without knocking. He looks disheveled but has a self satisfied smile on his face. His favorite couch is occupied by Parmenides, an even older man than Zeno. "Oh good," Zeno mumbles as he pulls out his stylus and takes a chair at a cluttered table, "I needed someone to be the lover."
"What is this young whippersnapper talking about?" Parmenides says, even older, he is also made more irritable than Zeno by the interruption.
"He's going to write my biography. He's decided to make me gay and you my lover."
Parmenides sighs. "You wear loose robes and everyone talks about you. My wife says I spent too much time with my students, this is what I deserve I suspect. And," he says looking at Zeno, "I spend time with unmarried men. I don't know why you waste any of your time on this miscreant."
"He seems intelligent enough when he is sober." Zeno says looking at Socrates.
"How would you know?"
"So what are you two working on?" Socrates asks, ignoring the comments at his expense.
"Parmenides, my so called lover," Zeno says, his voice dripping with sarcasm, "originally came up with the idea that everything comes from a single, motionless being."
"One god?" Zeno asks, intrigued by the idea, looking to Parmenides. "Are you a Hebrew?"
"Not hardly."
"Too bad, a gay, Jewish lover would have been a better story." Any can tell he is toying with the idea despite rejecting it with his words.
"So Zeno," Parmenides says, ignoring the pondering Socratic youth, "you've decided you agree with me?"
"It does appear very likely that motion and even dimension doesn't exist, that it is only an illusion of time."
"And that means that everything can come from a single particle or...if you accept your explanation Parmenides' a single "Being"."
"Sounds like subversive Hebrew propaganda to me," Socrates says. "It seems like Parmenides and you may end up with the poison wine glasses."
"Well, I have no intention of publishing the results so that you young people can make fun of us," Zeno says. "This has nothing to do with god and everything to do with existence."
"Tell me about it," Socrates requests getting out his stylus.
"Do you want to learn some math?" Parmenides asks.
"Well, that sounds like too much studying to me. I prefer to ponder."
"Perhaps," Zeno says, "we can explain it with a parable or two in conjunction with the equations on the wall?"
"Ahhh, we could make a game of it. See if we can get this young idiot to understand it."
Offended Socrates scribbles "Parmenides and Zeno are gay" surreptitiously on his tablet, but he says, "Sure, spring it on me."
The last of the sunlight coming in through the open ceiling fades and the room turns dark. "It is too late to try this tonight, but tomorrow, we will see what we can see."

The Zeno-Socrates dialogs: Chapter 1:Zeno's paradoxes as the predecessor of all hologram theory:

The Zeno-Socrates dialogs
Chapter 1
By Exia, a servant in Zeno's house and future grandmother to Eudoxus of Cnidus.

The setting is a stone and wood building.  It is surrounded by a broken circle of olive trees.  Inside the walls is mainly open ceiling, with some side areas where someone can sleep and where a wall filled with scrawls in chalk can be kept dry.
In the middle of this series of open rooms is a small pool which drains the room and in which some small carp swim, some of which are periodically dinner fixed in a kitchen area off to one side.  The furniture shows that the owner is moderately well off.  A sundial marks the passage of the day, it shows XII, it is about noon.
A young, athletic 19 year old saunters through the front door without knocking and flops on a couch.  He sees an "old man", perhaps in his mid 50's with his head on his crossed arms, a piece of chalk still clasped in one hand.  The writings on the wall are inscrutable.  The man lifts his head slightly, exposing a red rimmed eye from either over drinking or perhaps staying up all night writing on the wall by a tallow (there are neither electrical wires, lights, or electricity other than the Egyptian battery on one of the tables and the occasional bolt of lightning.
"What's shaking Z?" the young man asks.  "You don't look so good."
"I'm depressed."
"Depressed?  Your in the Greek revival, man!  We rule the world and probably will for a million years.  Science is at its peak for all time and you're one of the great scientists of our age.  The world is your oyster...I need to write that down."  This last part he mumbles to himself.  Socrates pulls out a small, flat stone and makes some marks on it with a stylus.  "I know, me and some friends are going to the cheerleader tryouts for the Olympics.  You should come.  We are going to try to find some not so vestigial not virgins to play with."
"You'd best be careful Socrates.  Those girls come from good families.  If you don't watch yourself you or one of your friends are going to find yourself with a cup of poisoned wine in your hand."
"Ooooo, I'm so scared.  So what's wrong Z?"
"I just invented non-linear time."
"Wow," the younger says looking at the hour glass.  "What's non-linear time?"
At this point a woman, perhaps half the age of either of the men walks in with a tray of fruit.
"Hey," says Socrates, "who do you have to sleep with to get a drink around here?"
"Get the young man some water please," Z asks the woman who leaves with a glare at Socrates.
"I'll bet she spits in my water."
"You should treat her with respect."
"Huh!  I'm going to write that you are gay when I put together your biography."
"Don't do me any favors."  Z clearly doesn't see Socrates as finishing anything.
"Anyway, you should be excited.  Inventing things can make you famous!"
"No one will know about it after I die.  I'm the first physicist and I don't know I want to burden anyone else with it.  When I die, these scriblings," he indicates the wall, "will wear away and there will be nothing to discourage those who come after me."
"You should learn how to use a stylus," Socrates says brandishing his long writing implement.  "They, with a little Egyptian Papyrus, are all the rage, you can make whatever you say last forever!"
"I'm not into that new-fangled technology.  I will stick to my wall and chalk and let those who would make something of my work do with it as they would."
"Well, tell me about it."  Z is thinking to himself that Papyrus is over 1000 years old.
"Do you think you could make heads or tails of what is written there?" Zeno (for that is his name) asks the young man.  "It is calculus and won't be fully invented for hundreds of years."
"Maybe you could just give me an idea of what it is and that way people will know you got there first."
"You don't want to know what it is, it is just depressing.  It means there is no apparent purpose to life or the universe.  He extends his arm to the room around them and the sky above."
"Oh don't worry, life has meaning.  Come to the cheerleader tryouts and you'll see."
"No thank you, Socrates.  I'll leave it to you to figure out what the meaning of existence is."  Zeno says this with exasperation, but Socrates gets out his pad and scribbles a note to himself nonetheless.‘Figure out reasons for existence.’

What are you thinking

You may not think that I wonder what you are thinking
or you may listen and know that is far from the case
whether haiku or full paragraphs
what passes for poetry here has an element of query
it asks questions which are not properly answered
sometimes clearly, is there rejection or introspection
more often the inquiry is circular
tracking thoughts movements; most often a series
jumping almost randomly from question to answer
tied only loosely with gossamer thread to what preceded
sometimes focused as with study and occasionally like
those right before you fall asleeps, half dream, half reality
which is what we are, in truth, not us as people
but us together, half truth, half dream, hope
and despair when the aspirations are not met
when the proposals are met with rejection, inattention, misunderstanding
and yet the thoughts move on
unwilling to be unhappy in a world so filled with happiness
opportunities to be happy, the joy of a warm afternoon,
a cold shower, a hot tub or a cool swimming pool
a kind word from a friend or the opportunity to help a stranger
work well done and a job finally complete
and occasionally, when everything works out well
a few moments you can share with an old friend or new lover
or, if you are especially lucky a new friend and an old lover
or some such nonsense, my mind wanders and i wonder
what are you thinking now?

The Bible, Non linear time theory and Zeno 2 of 2

And so we come to the second post.  The attempt to put a translation in perspective.  You will note that an emphasis is put on the "Hebrew" original in most translations which is foolish, since the original writing on which the Hebrew is based was taken down in Greek and perhaps heavily influenced by the Persians.  Hence, we can dispel with the notion of purity since the equipment has not yet been constructed which would allow us to consult with the author and in this case the subsequent revisionists who affect this story.  But I digress.
In the beginning...The beginning in a non-linear time or EHT universe has very little meaning.  It would have to be a reference to the point at which creation was started and not to the existence
But what a great way to begin the books..."In the beginning".  It is a writing gift and I long to know if it originated with Moses, the editors afterwards, or the Greeks who took down the messages.  Is it perhaps one of those things common to all 40 of the Rabbis, a rhetorical device which was used to keep track of all things.
"God created..."  Here is where we must depart from the "the heavens and the earth" and instead look to "the earth was a formless void  and darkness covered the face of the deep, while a wind (spirit) from God swept over the face of the waters."  In fact, the translation of the world as "chaos" in certain translations might teach away from the EHT theory that everything happens at once until time becomes linear, i.e. the writers would be disagreeing with Einstein.  But the interpretation as "emptiness and futility" might be more in line with a non-linearity concept since from our perspective, a universe that has no dimension could hardly be less empty and if everything happens at once, than the events themselves serve no purpose from a linear writer's perspective.
The idea of "breath" or "spirit" moving over "the face of the waters" can, since we are really just parsing phrases for our own selfish purposes be read with "darkness covered the face of the deep."  Darkness means there is no light yet, hence clock time 2 has not yet come to exist, there is likely no dimension.  But "the deep" might be cause to believe in dimension as do "the face of the waters".  However, in this case, it says that darkness covered the face and hence it can be interpreted that the absence of clock time was a covering of linearity as we experience it.  However, all time exists at once, all thought exists at once and hence it is likely that you could say that the concentration of all thought without time or dimension falls neatly into this, since it would in fact be a part of this dimensionless everything and might be "over" it in the sense that it can control its movement from non-linearity to linearity.
Further, both darkness and waters are part of chaos theory and waters could further be looked at as the potential flowing of events which would soon become linear.
"Then God said, "Let there be light," and there was light."  Light without matter is what we call the universe without clock time (1) but this does envision clock time (2) has started (and clock time 3 if such can be said to exist (dimension without motion-space) before clock time (2) dimension with motion (energy) in NLT.
"And God saw that the light was good; and God separated the light from the darkness." God creates time in this which is entirely consistent with NLT having multiple clock times possible.
The rest of the creation myth is irrelevant since it deals with post linearity and hence is the study of newtonian, relativistic space, so we are largely done here, although if there was a purpose to given a biblical foundation consistent with NLTheory we'd have done that; and if we wanted to reconcile this with later references to creation and the concept of god in the Einstein Hologram Universe or under NLT we could certainly wax eloquent over a long time.
Anti-climatic you say?  I'm not so sure.  To really understand, we'll have to discuss when the books or the bible were written in context and for this we need to start with Zeno, but that is another series of posts.

1.875(+.0625) The Bible, Non linear time theory and Zeno 1.875(+.0625) of 2

We will get to the creation story and Non Linear Time Theory, though it be approached with Zeno's paradox, an apparently infinite series.
You will recall in a previous post on this subject I referred to the transposition of Zora Neal Hurston for Zeno of Elea (something that would have amused both, I am certain) which has nothing to do with this entry other than the fact that Zeno's paradoxes are the predecessors of all hologram theory (both String Hologram Theory and Einstein Hologram Theory) both of which presume different reasons why space is a reflection of (in the case of SHT) a two dimensional representation on the "surface" of a black hole defined at the point at which nothing can escape or (in the case of EHT) a reflection of non linear time which occurs at the same point of reference.  Both wind up with similar "database" type representations of our universe.
Non-linear time takes this coordinate based system a step further by presuming that we may still be non-linear and that we are only "played" by non-linear space going linear in three (at least) clock times which are described in more detail in prior entries, but which need to be re-examined a little for this entry.
The connection between Zeno and "The books" is made even more significant since the oral history probably started before Zeno (almost certainly it is derived from even more ancient histories (Mesopotamian) that existed before Zeno and was further developed as are all natural histories afterwards.  Now, no one knows if any rabbi ever heard of Zeno's paradoxes, much less incorporated them into a creation myth, a very unlikely combination, but that they conceptually spring from the same time periods and on either side allow us to make these wildly unsupported theories which are certainly no more out there than the theories of the major (and minor) religions.
And let's take a moment to deal with the Paradox of Zeno's Paradoxes.  The alleged solutions.  The traditional physics cabal which takes sole credit (after all I would take partial credit for non-linear and Einstein Hologram Theory even though both are built on String Hologram and Einsteinian concepts) for hologram theory would (with their philosopher's cabal) would have us believe that Zeno's paradoxes are easily solved with traditional physics.
Ah ha! I say.  We must remember that Zeno's paradoxes are the recollections of Socrates (or someone else).  Imagine what you would get if you tried to get a non-physicist to describe non linear time theory.  You would get...well, non-linear time theory.  In the examination of Zeno to come we must look at him not just as a philosopher, but also as an untrained physicist and we must look at Socrates as a philosopher attempt to recollect and record early hologram theory; at least that is what I'm going to try to do.
I am using the Old Testament, fyi, because it is accepted a foundational material for Judaism, Christianity and Muslim teachings, not because it is any more accurate than pantheism, Zoroastrianism, atheism or any of the other isms with which we look at the universe. But why should I finish this?  Why should I bother trying to force the rambling of some primitive philosopher, corrupted by time and translation into a theory of physics?
I have a book which means a lot to me even though I've read very little of it.  "Why am I here?" (or something like that).  It's really more of a pamphlet than a book, and I remember very little of what is in it.  It is religious in nature.  What is so important about it, to me, is the question it asks.  Cut away from all the nonsense in your life and it all comes down to one question.  You are not here to succeed or fail.  You will in your life do both.  If you live right, in my opinion, you will do both in abundance.
It is, however, a question for another entry, another Sunday.
