Happy Halloween!

Isn't that a cool looking pumpkin carving? I believe that pumpkin came from the web site Extreme Pumpkins.com. Anyway, I saw it on the web site under the title "They Eat Their Own." If you want to look at other cool pumpkin carvings go to Pumpkin Gutter.com. Scott Cummins, the carver, does a pretty good job of carving.

Now, to the creepy. If you want to hear some good electronic voice phenomena go to South Jersey Paranormal Research web site. Especially, listen to the "Horn blaring...halt company!" one. It's loud and clear!

In the 1970s, a psychical research group "invented" a spirit named Philip. To their astonishment, Philip actually made contact with them. You can read more about this experience in the "How To Create a Ghost" article. Real ghost or not? What happened with this research group might explain some seances that are not deliberate scams. Seances should not be done anyway, in my opinion, because you never know what you will conjure up.

Creating a Label Cloud

To create the Label Cloud on the left go to Setup and configuration for New Blogger Tag Cloud / Label Cloud and follow the instructions exactly. Creating the cloud looks overwhelming but it isn't if you follow the author's instructions. The author (phydeux3) did a good job with the code and instructions for placing the code in the template. The label cloud would be a good widget for Google to add to the page elements.

The Hunt Doctrine

Below is a list of what U.S. Army Colonel (Ret.) David Hunt in his 2007 book On The Hunt. How to Wake Up Washington and Win The War on Terror thinks is the best way to run the war on terror:

• No soldier shall ever use, fly in, sit on, or ride in any vehicle or weapon that is older than he is.
• Only competent--that means proven competent--combat leaders get to lead soldiers in combat.
• When you are in an fight. . . kill them all.
• Never ask permission in combat.
• Never commit a soldier to combat you are not willing and capable of supporting 100 percent with everything he needs.
• Never give an order or mission you are not willing to do yourself.
• Always go with your men into the fight.
• As long as you care only about your soldiers and the mission, you can do anything.
• Once committed, the government tells only the truth to the American people when soldiers are in combat.
• Admit when you are wrong.
• It's intelligence, stupid; without it you die.
• The Air Force never runs a war.
• Never care who gets credit, just get it done.
• Love your soldiers enough to hurt them in training.
• Make training harder than combat.
• Make people do their jobs.
• When our troops f-ck up, punish and move on.
• Hold the highest accountable, just like the lowest.
• Keeping the peace is always harder than winning the war.
• When the order is stupid, say so, and don’t obey it.
• Your boss is only your boss; he is not always right.
• Administrative courage (standing up to the boss, telling the truth to the powerful) is more difficult than physical courage.

Most of doctrine is just common sense. He is referring to military commanders and the defense secretary mostly. A person in a blog said he disagreed with the first point. He said there are "B-52s in service now that are over 40 years old, but they’ve been retrofitted with new electronics and other gear and they’re perfectly good to use for dropping tons of bombs or missiles on bad guys." Disobeying stupid orders does sound like good advice, but first you have to recognize a stupid order. If you are in a combat situation you better be sure the order is stupid or not before you disobey it. It's a matter of having faith in your commander that he can do the job.

In his book, the Colonel says we should have shot the looters in Iraq in the beginning. Then put a sign in Arabic that says "American troops will shoot looters." A good idea, but the American press would have put headlines saying "American troops are murdering civilians." Then again the military commanders including the president has to ignore what the press reports on the war. Just win the war. Col. Hunt also said it was a dumb idea to disband the Iraqi army and the entire police force in the beginning. Yea, probably not a good idea. They could have gotten the looters under control and gave stability to the country.

This is very good book that every person in Congress and every presidential candidate should read. We (America and the Western world) have to get serious about this war because the militant jihadists are deadly serious about it.

Democrats Smear a Private Citizen

You see the list of forty-one names listed below? They are all senators from the Democrat party that smeared a private citizen. The names in bold print are presidential candidates.

Harry Reid	Hillary Rodham Clinton	Blanche Lincoln
Richard Durbin	Kent Conrad	Bob Menendez
Charles Schumer	Christopher Dodd	Barbara Mikulski
Patty Murray	Byron Dorgan	Bill Nelson
Daniel Akaka	Dianne Feinstein	Barack Obama
Max Baucus	Tom Harkin	Jack Reed
Joseph Biden	Daniel Inouye	Jay Rockefeller
Barbara Boxer	Edward M. Kennedy	Ken Salazar
Sherrod Brown	John Kerry	Bernie Sanders
Robert Byrd	Amy Klobuchar	Debbie Stabenow
Benjamin Cardin	Mary Landrieu	Jon Tester
Tom Carper	Frank Lautenberg	Jim Webb
Bob Casey	Patrick Leahy	Sheldon Whitehouse
Carl Levin	Ron Wyden

The people above signed a letter smearing Rush Limbaugh for comments he never said on his radio show and then sent it to his business partner. His business partner then rightly so ignored the letter and gave it to Rush who then sold it on Ebay for $2,100,100.00 to philanthropist Betty Casey. She was the highest bidder of 213 bids. All the proceeds of the sale went to the Marine Corps -- Law Enforcement Foundation. They give kids of Marines and law enforcement officers who were killed in the line of duty college scholarships. Rush Limbaugh even wrote a check matching the proceeds and gave it to the foundation. I think that is pretty decent of him.

You may think that Rush Limbaugh is a big boy and can defend himself. You are right and he did set the smear straight. But here is why I am writing this entry. No matter what you think of Rush Limbaugh, he is a private citizen like you and I. He does not hold an elected office. If this can happen to him it could happen to anyone that those in Congress or even in the White House deem a threat. That is why America has the Bill of Rights. America's founding fathers knew that a Bill of Rights protects the citizens from a potentially corrupt government. If these Bill of Rights were not in place who knows what those senators might have done. Other countries have done worse things. Rush Limbaugh has a radio show in which he can get his point of view across to a large audience. But what if the powers-that-be go after the little guy? What defense does he have?

I wish instead of condemning private citizens these politicians same would go after Bin Laden or other terrorists with the same zeal. But you don't see that much.

These 41 senators could have checked the transcript of what Rush Limbaugh really said on his web site. Or they could have had their staff check it, but they either did not care or were too lazy to do it. They just believed what a personal attack web site said on face value. I heard what Rush said. Why could not they verify it? I wonder how many other stuff they believe without verifying. After all that is why Congress sits next to the Library of Congress. So, they can do research on topics. It contains almost every book and magazine published.

Here is my wish. I wish that those 41 senators get kicked out of office and I wish those senators in bold face never get elected president. Any Republican running against these senators would be wise to bring up what they did to Rush in their political ads.

Atmospheric Vortex Engine

The Atmospheric Vortex Engine (AVE) is a process for capturing the energy produced when heat is carried upward by convection in the atmosphere. The process is protected by patent applications and could become a major source of electrical energy. The unit cost of electrical energy produced with an AVE could be half the cost of the next most economical alternative.

The design of this engine is really interesting. The design comes from a Canadian engineer named Louis Michaud. I first read of his ambitious design in the November 2007 issue of Popular Science. The article says theoretically the AVE should produce 100 megawatts of electricity.

The Anti-Christ and The New World Order

The Anti-Christ will assume power when he tricks both the socialists and the militant jihadists to support him. The anti-Christ will tell the world leaders that the Kyoto-Agreement must be signed to save the world from global warming and a New World Order has to be created to oversee the global warming crisis. The anti-Christ will tell the jihadists he is one of them and will install global sharia law. The anti-Christ may or may not install sharia law (possibly a hybrid of it) but there will be a horrible New World Order created with the anti-Christ as the world dictator.
What will the New World Order entail?

1. Elimination of private property ie Communism. Socialism is just Communism lite. The militant jihadists may not like this one. Islam respects private property.
2. Elimination of traditional governments and national sovereignty. This is what the New World Order is really about. Socialists think everyone should go everywhere in the world they want without passports or border checks. These are the so-called open border types. As long as the militant jihadist get world-wide sharia law they could care less about national sovereignty. Under sharia law there no separation of religion and state. Read: theocracy.
3. The elimination of traditional Judeo-Christian theism. The secular-progressives which a lot of socialists are think Christianity is the root cause of most problems in the world. The militant jihadists agree. They want to eliminate Judeo-Christian theism and replace it with their own theism.

There might be a clash between the socialists and militant jihadists but the anti-Christ will be able to control that and even use it toward his advantage.

Chinese Government Censoring Bloggers

China Censors Ratchet Up Web Monitoring from PhysOrg.com (AP) -- At first, Liu Xiaoyuan just fumed when his online journal postings disappeared with no explanation. Then he decided to do something few if any of China's censored bloggers had tried. He sued his service provider. [...]

Ladies and gentlemen this is what happens when government has total control of your life. They can censor your speech among other things. This is why America's founding fathers created the Bill of Rights for just this reason--to protect Americans from a potentially corrupt government. Keep in mind only government can truly censor--they are the only ones who make the laws. And people say President Bush is violating citizens privacy by listening to terrorist's conversations overseas to other terrorists. What the Chinese government is doing is far worse. America is not censoring any book that criticizes our government or our leader (and some anti-Bush books attack him on a personal level). I don't see this book being censored: Follow the money: how George W. Bush and the Texas Republicans hog-tied America (2007) by John Anderson (and no I haven't read this book). I wonder how many books in China criticize the Chinese government? Probably zero. Where are the civil rights people complaining about what the Chinese government is doing?

I just don't trust the Chinese government. After all it is still Communism. I wonder how long will it be when the government takes total control of the foreign businesses in China. Just because you have a little bit of capitalism in China does not mean China will change its form of government. First, you have to have democracy. Then capitalism will follow.

Terrorist Detecting Technology

Technology would help detect terrorists before they strike from PhysOrg.com
Are you a terrorist? Airport screeners, customs agents, police officers and members of the military who silently pose that question to people every day, may soon have much more than intuition to depend on to determine the answer.[...]

This is really interesting technology. It uses machine learning capabilities, which will allow it to “learn” from its subjects during the course of a 20-minute interview.

A Candidate Calculator

On the VAJoe.com web site I took the candidate calculator questionnaire which gauges how close you come to a presidential candidates stance on issues. Below is who I match closely with. I suggest the reader take the questionnaire too.

Mitt Romney (R)	89.66% match
Colorado Representative Tom Tancredo (R)	89.66% No amnesty for illegals.
Former Tennessee Senator Fred Thompson (R)	89.66% No amnesty for illegals, and no IRS.
Kansas Senator Sam Brownback (R)	86.21%
California Representative Duncan Hunter (R)	86.21%
Businessman John Cox (R)	72.41%
Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R)	72.41%
Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee (R)	72.41% Wants the FairTax.
Arizona Senator John McCain (R)	72.41%
Texas Representative Ron Paul (R)	62.07%
Illinois Senator Barack Obama (D)	34.48% Say what? This is Oprah's candidate.
Delaware Senator Joseph Biden (D)	31.03%
New York Senator Hillary Clinton (D)	31.03% Egad, no!
Connecticut Senator Christopher Dodd (D)	31.03%
New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson (D)	31.03%
Former North Carolina Senator John Edwards (D)	24.14%
Former Alaska Senator Mike Gravel (D)	13.79%
Ohio Representative Dennis Kucinich (D)	6.90%

John Cox calls himself a Progressive Conservative. He believes in "solutions that use the free markets, competition and the human drive to solve problems that government cannot." He is a CPA and investment specialist. On issues he is pro-life, fiscal conservative (original member of the Club for Growth), wants a strong military, and is in favor of the FairTax. Nothing specific about the War on Terror.

Ron Paul is not bad. He wants to get rid of the IRS too like Fred Thompson and is for home schooling. He's naive about the War on Terror though.

Drawing While Asleep

From Ananova.com, a man can only draw when he is asleep not when he is awake. Lee Hadwin, 33, of Henllan, North Wales says he has been filmed doing this.

Well, it is good to know there is someone out there who is productively using his sleep unlike those run-of-the-mill sleepwalkers, sleep talkers, and snorers. I wonder if there are people who are singing (Perry Coma does not count. He just puts people to sleep) sculpting, dancing, or playing a musical instrument in their sleep but cannot do it when they are awake.

Miscellaneous Thoughts Part 8

• Be nice to people and treat them with respect because you never know if you will run into them in the afterlife.
• I wonder if those who are for open borders will let complete strangers trespass on their property.
• It is harder to use reason than to react emotionally.
• Imagination allows a person to examine nuances of a situation or possible future outcomes.
• Since cloud cover decreases global warming maybe scientists should come up with a way to have the whole earth covered with non-precipitates clouds. Just a thought.
• If you are going to be uploading minds to computers you better be sure they are shielded against EMF pulses.
• If criminals gave themselves up to the police and admitted their wrong doing then defense attorneys would be unemployed.
• If guns kill people then what killed people before guns?
• Randomness is sometimes mistaken for complexity.
• Saying you support the troops and not the mission is like saying you love the sinner but not the sin. The troops and their mission are inseparable. You are just playing word games.

A Global Warming Conspiracy

Those 9/11 conspiracies are not only ridiculous but they are boring too! Where's the imagination and the creativity? Don't those conspiracy nuts read novels? Here's my own conspiracy about global warming. Note: This only for entertainment purposes.

Global warming is caused by extra-terrestrials. Why? Because they want to invade the earth and take it over. They have to have it warm enough so they can survive. Right now it is just too cool for them. Some of them are already here getting the global "heating" process started. Al Gore is one of them--or I should say one of the aliens is pretending to be Al Gore. I don't know what happened to the real Al Gore. Think about it. In the 1990's there was no talk about global warming and Al Gore was thin. Now we are talking about global warming in 2000's and Al Gore is fat.

I have no idea if the aliens are the gray ones, the pink ones, or the polka-dot ones.

Right now you are thinking: "But Al Gore is trying to prevent global warming." That's what he says, and yet he lives in a big house. Plus, Al Gore saying he's against global warming draws attention away from him and his alien buddies real plan: global conquest. Anyway, that's my theory. You've been warned. Have a nice day.
