I have spent the last year looking at these arguments about stuff we just can't seem to prove. They consist of: AGW Anthroprogenic Global Warming, AIDS, ASD Autism Spectrum Disorder, and finally vaccinations.

There are two types of crowds we see arguing both sides of these issues and some of them actually criss-cross each other in a sort of orgy of hypocrisy reminiscent of witch hunts and inquisitions.  I want to take a moment to help the reader understand that there are only two things that are commonalities involved with all of the black and white battles that continue to divide and distract us all from the root cause.

AGW:
Climategate happened and OMG here we have many organizations looking like enemies of science deliberately faking data to trick us into paying a global dictatorship to enslave us all. Yet this doesn't really disprove AGW. It merely nullifies those organization's datasets. We now have to pretend there are other datasets that are flawless. Thus the eternal inane bickering and ad-hom attacks fly in our ears and eyes until something acrid comes spewing out of our mouths.

Autism:
New whistles have been blown that show Dr. Wakefield faked his thimerasol study data. OMG now we can attack that and pretend that this is absolute proof that vaccines are not to blame for ASD. The same still applies. All we have is another worthless dataset. Get over it.

AIDS:
It doesn't exist...but wait it does exist. I know, we can label someone who has anything to say about it in the regards of not taking harmful meds a denier. Yes thats it. Brilliant. This way people will just take the easy way out and never look into themselves. Beware of people who use this language of "denier" labeling. It reeks of the stench of retard. It's an emotionally based ad-hom attack designed to make you fall in line with cynicism. Retro viruses do exist HIV does exist. The so-called deniers aren't denying that. They are simply taking a different route towards treatment and screening of the problem. There is much disinformation on the topic and very little proof to go with it for either side. Common sense is defeated as usual in this one as well.

And the grandaddy of em all Vaccinations:

One of the most critical elements which defines the toxicity potential of any vaccine are its pharmacokinetic properties. Drug companies and health agencies refuse to consider the study, analysis or evaluation of the pharmacokinetic properties of any vaccine.

There is not one double-blind, placebo-controlled study in the history of vaccine development that has ever proven their safety, effectiveness or achievements (unless those achievements have underlined their damage to human health).

There are also no controlled studies completed in any country which have objectively proven that vaccines have had any direct or consequential effect on the reduction of any type of disease in any part of the world.

Every single study that has ever attempted to validate the safety and effectiveness of vaccines has conclusively established carcinogenic, mutagenic, neurotoxic or fertility impairments, but they won't address those.

Yet we have so-called experts in skepticism and science and conspiracy out there evangelizing the use or dis-use of vaccinations. Believers, so to speak, that hold to their breast Unisen patches or paper proclamations that do nothing to prove anything or move us forward.

I can pretend that when Alex Jones tries to convince me of his altruism that he really means it so it must be OK to drink the Kool-Aid. I can also do the same with Dr. Novella and his cadre of contributors at the science-based-medicine blog or the SGU podcasts. Either way my logic is flawed. As much as these people think their science isn't flawed or their constitution is the end of the road or that we have undeniable freedoms for which can only be exercised by those who can afford to, everyone seems to ignore what is causing this shit storm of nonsense.

MONEY MONEY MONEY MONEY and the people who covet it.

If there is a need to profit any scientist can be swayed, any evangelist can be driven, any lie can be perpetrated. Regardless of the amount of studies that say one thing or another they all were tainted with the nasty stench of money. Someone profited. Cancer isn't going to be cured because of MONEY. The war on drugs will never be won because of MONEY. The continued strife and division of the idiots who think they must pick a side and shout out their fan-boyisms are the mind-controlled slaves of someone else's profit.

The root cause of probably 80% of the worlds technical and social problems can be obliterated as soon as we grow up and collectively stop believing in money.

Until this happens technological efficiency and progress will continue to be stagnant as well as validity of research and scientific studies conducted can never hold an ounce of water here is a perfect example http://14studies.org/.

Stop spending your energy debating the undebatable and start looking at ways to remove the one thing that is stifling our species or we will never learn to cooperate and change value systems for the better. How can the layman or the expert or the generalist ever have trust in science that is conducted until this happens.

 


 

I started helping out with the movement.

I created zeitgeistmissouri.com and an STL blog for the movement. 

I also built and I am hosting the v-radio.org site. All the archives and many good documentaries can be found there that are relative to the movement.

Not much else to say other than check it out, watch the movies read the guide and if you feel compelled, participate!

This is an excerpt from a facebook commentversation I just had with some burner peeple.

Three different space probes have gathered evidence that the top layer of the moon's surface contains hidden stores of water. The moon is generally thought to be a dry place, and the discovery comes as an unexpected -- and exciting -- surprise for researchers.

Nick Mindblur Folsom
all sorts of breakthroughs happening

Theseus Augustus Fixer
Mars was decided long ago - there are huge amounts of water on Mars, enough to cover the entire planet with several feet of water if it were thawed. Moon was just definitively decided in today's announcement. Not much water there, but enough to provide a permanent output as much water as they would ever need. Good news.

Meanwhile millions starve. Next steps...Let's spend more brazillions on seeing if there is shit in uranus

Theseus Augustus Fixer
@Gabriel - actually largely due to technological advances, often related to the space program, starvation is nowhere near the problem that it was in the 1960s. We have new problems now but nowhere near as serious.

And how do you think we predict the weather, which is related to efficient agriculture? Expensive satellites up in space, that's how.

Not to mention the important role that the Sun plays in agriculture, which is being studied and better understood through space tech.... Read More

The Earth is a really incredibly small chunk of real estate, and everything going on down here is related to the rest of the solar system. You ever hear about a certain asteroid that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs? Think that couldn't happen again?


Gabriel Branch
Dood.. its the moon. If it had huge reserves of unleaded gas on it this effort is still a collosal waste of resources.

Gabriel Branch
No new tech was born from this experiment that improves anything here on earth.

Theseus Augustus Fixer
The moon is our nearest jump point to the rest of the solar system. But I know better than to get into an argument with a Luddite. Mmmm, unicorns!

Gabriel Branch
The only tech they improved demonstrably was a more accurate nuclear weapons delivery platform. You know nothing about me so I understand you have to believe that I know nothing about technology or agriculture, it's that kind of self-serving neurosis that leads you to be belligerent and attempt to use a work like Luddite to help elevate your self ... Read Moreto a higher status. I am not impressed and rather disappointed that you wish you were living in the 3030 instead of being concerned about how we can use our technology and resources and unfortunately money to improve society instead taking pictures of explosions on the moon.

Theseus Augustus Fixer
Get yourself a sparkle pony, Gabriel. You will instantly feel calmer. Eating some bacon also helps immensely.

Theseus Augustus Fixer
My final word on the topic: http://sparklefuckingpony.com/

Gabriel Branch
Go buy one for an Iraqi kid and dress him/her up in a furry outfit and pretend you can both destroy huge asteroids with it's rainbow power while you waste away your existence derailing any kind of train of thought that could possibly be constructive.


Liz Niec
yeah while youre on the topic of being constructive.....
fuck. i can feel youre negativity through the comp. theres better ways to make a point. I hope youre as active about these kinds of topics in real life as you are on facebook.

Gabriel Branch
Are you his girlfriend or something? LOL I just hope he can at least understand the concepts. I am not being negative. I am being realistic. Also in case you didn't notice I am not the one doing the name calling. He avoids the rebuttals to his argument and offers no explanations as to how blowing up the moon helps us other than that we can use it ... Read Moreas a moon base while the rest of us sit here on earth and starve to death. My point is simple. Lets spend our resources on shit that actually helps people here on earth. Fix the intrinsic problems here first that could possibly make getting beyond our solar system realized faster instead of lauding a military platform of destruction as some kind of fucking ridiculous progress.


Liz Niec
no, i am a friend, and while i can see your arguements i really dont see how getting in a huff helps anything in the world either. lets go organize a food drive or something!

Gabriel Branch
History has shown us that food drives don't solve the root cause. It's only a band aid. We need to use technology to create a way to feed the world. Give us all water, electricity, education. watch this...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gKX9TWRyfs integrate it with your knowledge base. Try to understand why things really are fucked up on this planet and how we can do something that makes sense to fix it.

Theseus Augustus Fixer
The lunar water research is just basic science. If you add up all the science spending in the U.S., it is just a drop in the bucket compared to global military spending. Let's try to agree that global military spending is the real problem here, not whittle away at one science program or another.

And aren't the real issues in African starvation the corruption of the governments there? If they let the aid they get already through to the people, everyone would be well fed. How is science to blame for this?

Back to science: The way science works is, you never know how the science will benefit you until the work is done and the engineers begin to take advantage of the things the scientists have learned. Spinoffs from NASA have been documented in so many different ways by so many people. ... Read More

Why not fire all the physicists working on string theory right now? How can understanding the basic principles of physics feed the starving masses?

Gabriel Branch
Gabriel Branch
You think I am attacking science as a whole. I love science. I understand everything you are talking about. I am talking about spending our resources on things that help science and stop wasting resources on a fake excuse to test a weapons platform. Everyone is not being fed. You are living in a bubble. Nanotechnology and physics will help us get there. I am not trying to attack SCIENCE I am advocating the liberal use of it to solve the easy problems.
 
 
Almost a Billion. Right, nobody is starving.... cram your bacon up you ass.

Wow I have to say society is indeed sick. The burner population is inundated with this kind of rhetoric that does nothing to solve a single root cause of the problems with society.. The only good thing that has come from the community is Burners Without Borders yet it is still just another lame attempt to band-aid the system.

We will not vibrate out of our bodies in 2012 and ascend to another plane of existence. We have to remove the monetary system. The Zeitgeist Movement is the only thing I have seen that will ever work.

The top of the facade of my 115 year old house fell out this spring crashing down and destroying my ugly ass early 50's awnings. My insurance company, Liberty Mutual, would not cover the damage so I had to figure out how to do brick work myself. Not only that, the a-holes said they would drop my coverage by the end of the year if I didn't fix it. Every contractor quoted the cost of repair from 7 - 25k. I did it myself with the help of some really great friends for a mere 2500 bux, plus or  minus a few hundred. I could not find a replacement for the decorative brick in the middle so I had to come up with decorative end pieces to fill up the empty void.  The guy that owns city museum sold me a couple of those bricks. He was really proud of them and gouged me for them to tune of 50 bux Xo|. They look good. Now that the ugly awnings are gone the place looks 10 times better just from that.  I still need to clean it with some muriatic acid but for a first time attempt I am pretty pleased with it. I was able to learn something new and spend less money than a rich guy might have.

Setting up the scaffolding is some scary stuff. It only took a day or two to get over the height issue. I think I gained a couple of pounds of muscle in the process and I got a sweet tan.

I want to thank all those that helped me out: Matt, Sumo, Gary, Rusty, Justice, Colin and especially my wife for watching kids more than anyone should have to.

Thank You Thank You Thank You

I think it was Hitler who was once quoted as saying "When one provokes in a child a fear of the dark, one awakens in him a feeling of atavistic dread. Thus this child will be ruled all his life by this dread, whereas another child, who has been intelligently brought up, will be free of it." Sadly my brother in law and his wife understand this and use it in such a way that to any free thinking person would be thought of as malevolant.

Luckily I was molded by parents who operated with a moral respect for my psyche. I was free to look into any religion, church or metaphysical realm I wanted to play with at will. The result was me doing that only when I hit puberty. This is a natural progression because there really was no way I could have made metaphysical decisions regarding my personal spiritual belief system until I had reached that level of development.

Telling a child that they will go to Hell if they don't believe in Jesus is pretty much the same thing as saying if you don't eat your peas the boogy man will eat your toenails off. My message to the "ruled by dread" crowd is this. At least have enough respect for your own family members' boundaries to objectify for two seconds, or long enough, to realize that using faith as the basis for an argument is the most retarded concept ever invented. When you do this to kids who can't understand that your reasoning is flawed and have no way to compare or contrast it to anything else in their experience then you are damaging them as you have been damaged. Please stop the cycle and wait until the child is of age to pull your little Jesus snake oil scheme.

I pray to the google masters for months and months. After much fasting and gnashing of teeth and constipation sweet release has found me. I after receiving my invite for GV I noticed that I had already gotten one back during the begining of the month (ARRRRRGH).  I got one of them fancy pants Android phones so now I got a new number 731-HOT-MOFO (731-468-6636).  This post is not going to be a review of the new product the Google masters have given the public but my reaction to it's yummy newness.  It's seemless. I <3 the Google masters. Notice the sweet new widget on my site over there -----> aint it cooler than penguin poo? (it looks confusing but they want you to put your name and number in the widget so you can use your phone to call me.)
