Churchill description

littlebangtheories — Thu, 10 May 2012 05:31:24 +0000

. If Churchill rose to the occasion, when the fate of freedom hung in balance, during the ultimate conflagration of 1940–5, it was his sadism, not his liberalism, that fitted him for the job. ‘To be blunt, Churchill saw war coming before others and rose to its challenge, because Churchill wanted to see that challenge, welcomed the exhilarating violence of war in life and art, and clutched at such heroism and such domination as a leader and a historian’ (p. 256)

Israel and Iran

littlebangtheories — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 16:38:22 +0000

I think everyone overestimates the offensive capability of Hezbollah.It is defensive outwardly and has no ability to rise above the irritant level as regards northern Israel.
I think a strike would result in Iran leaving the NPT .The middle class opposition to the forces of conservatism ( Guards and rural society ) will crumble and regime change will remain the delusional idea it has always been.
The Isrealis can’t do anything on their own and I don’t see any strikes at all.The political fallout for Netanyahu of failure is too high and he has’nt the boldness of an Ariel Sharon.He will not act and he will blame Obama for it.

art and its value

my ideas exactly..even down to the wealth destruction of past societites…( posted ages ago)

My crafts vs arts equation is succinct and bald enough to illustrate that in a more fundamental way.

Red fruits and feeback loop into ‘red’ colour perception.

littlebangtheories — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 17:35:22 +0000

Eating red fruits high in Beta Carotene might cause a feedback loop , that causes the perception of Red to be possible.That further feeds the loop and pushes towards a rapidly evolving tri-chromal retina.

Fruit bats have red vision and that got me thinking.Its looks like some feedeback process going on here rather than just out and out Darwinian evolution/ parrallel convergent process ( survival of the fittest to the environment…in this case ..the environment makes us a better fit with a feedback loop)

Bats are going to eat only the fruits on the side open to ariel view..the tops.

Monkeys that can eat in the slender top branches have no problem with predators that would have to heavier to bring them down.

Both would naturally consume the top fruits.Both would then ‘slide’ into a slippery slope towards Red vision.

My sayings

Life will kill you

Don’t sell to the sold

Nothing grows under the big tree

Life is priced for struggle.

Lollo crawling and memory implications

littlebangtheories — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 09:53:41 +0000

Lollo is crawling at eight months.The dopamine system now must kick in as he becomes ‘task’ reward orientated as against the previously passive mode of always receiving and crying for attention/food.

This is an onion skin event.He does’nt remember Granny who missed this period.Thats just like the memory imprints are changing shape as well.

Working to different networks and therefore referenced by different networks….Hence the ‘skin’ change .

Circumstances of Ghadhafi’s killing…..hmmmm…..suspect if you ask me.

littlebangtheories — Fri, 21 Oct 2011 04:30:43 +0000

He called the Rebels rats.And he was himself found in a sewer.

How neat?

Are we seeing the same thing here that the US tried with Osama Bin Laden ….just after he was shot..It wasput out that he had tried to hide behind his wife..

The ‘Che Guevara’ picture effect.Everyone wnats to own the narrative.

Here it looks suspicious again.The Graffiti on the sewer…..why did it need to be advertised …did ‘nt the fact that he was found in it enough?

It just has the feel of stage manegment.I did’nt see any blood either…

I suppose who cares…he felt wronged but he sinned more greatly.I feel sorry for the Tuareg whom he tried over the years to help.

I know Arabs are less likely to treat ‘black’ Africans squarely but more in a utilitarian manner….as semi-slaves.One wrong exits …another manifests itself.

I hope not

( we wont go into the obvious transfromation of the bedraggled Ghaddafi into a head-shot dead Ghaddafi ……all bit of a circus)

End of Currencies

littlebangtheories — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 05:39:24 +0000

There is no reason for the march of technology not to destroy the issuance of currency monopoly that central banks have.

As money becomes completely digitilized.i.e the loose change and notes transfer into bits and bytes on your mobile, the power to create currency will be come democracized.It will filter down to any one who can offer a mini-bond that can be freely traded and whose buying power /convertibility and liquidity will be instantly available on tap ….on your phone.Companies will do this as vouchers and miniture retail company bonds start the ball rolling.

Then people will start doing it.Like a barter economy at first.But it will become a a currency if it becomes successful enough and is liquid enough.Transparency and liquidity will come from technology and also low costs .The low costs will allow this to filter down to even the individual offering his own bonds/currency.

Therefore…central banks will lose the power to create , inflate a antional currency…or they will have to live in a world where they have to accomadate competitors.

Older people may resist and cling to national currencies and the younger generations could be the main drivers at a micro-economic scale.

Mobile companies allow the trading of their credits already in Africa , so it has already started.

Welcome to the new world.

Long term , this will be another nail in the coffin to the idea of a ‘Country /Nation State’.

The Old clinging to the national currency and political structures , the young fleeing to less onerous tax environments ( and avoiding the rising costs of looking after the Old ) will be the main picture for the end of Nation states.

Banging the same drum on NYT

Like the soldier said in the end….no evidence.
With all the drones and satellites above why is there no evidence?
Can’t the assertions of the Pakistanis that the border post was deserted for years be easily verified.
Do I have to do it myself on Google earth?
And while we are at it…Bin Laden was under watch for months before his killing and a treasure trove of data extracted from the house.Where is the evidence of Pakistani Military complicity?
An amazing no show of evidence , over and over again.
Essentially looks like the US wants to bail out as the money has run out and needs a scapegoat.
As for the pro-Indians on this site telling every one ..” told you so “….tell us about the 200,000 dead from your security forces in the Red Cross reports .Then we can have a adult conversation on the causes of terrorism.

But the the US has positvely encouraged drunk driving.

US policy has been 1967 borders or near abouts as has been everyone….until Netanyahu decided to make a stand against Obama and Congress gleefully co-operated.

Israeli foreign policy is like the Republican domestic policy….at all costs remove Obama.At all costs.

The costs are coming home to roost and the pay off is’nt yet in the bag.
