Intel has a new computer chip developed that will be publicly aired later this year and will be in use in computers sold to the public in 2012. This chip is called the “Tri-Gate” chip. It appears to still be a liniar chip, but unlike all the other computer chips out there this is a 3 D chip with all the information stacked in rows. All the other chips have circuits on a flat plane. I didn’t know this. What this means is that the long held “speed limit” of 2.4 gigabytes will at last fall and that year and a half law can resume. I got this computer seven and a half years ago and as you know all that time the maximum speed has been frozen at 2.4 gigabytes. If you try to go faster the computer “runs hot”. A few weeks ago James had told me there was a new chip coming out. They say it will be cheaper to make and they will be able to put more information in a smaller space. That’s good, if it’s true.
Well now we know the government is still giving us “cover stories” and conceiling the truth. We were originally told that those Navy SEALS had engaged in a forty minute “fire fight” fighting for their lives. Now we are given a completely different story. The seals encountered almost no resistance. They killed two of the curriors who had shot at them. This is the only enemy fire they apparently encountered the entire time they were there. We are told that Bin Laden’s son was killed but I'm not certain he was armed or whether he fired his weapon. We know some grand children died. And Bin Laden's youngest of four wives lunges at him and was shot in the leg by a seal, but she wasn’t being used as a human shield. Instead Bin Laden was in an upper bedroom along. One of the seals shot at him and missed as Bin Laden peaked over the stairway banister and then retreated to his room. When the troops found him Bin Laden was reaching for a weapon. He had an AK 47 and a Russian semi-automatic pistol in the room. Apparently two small children who had wandered into the area were grabbed and taken out of harm’s way. But the seals spent most of those forty minutes going through Bin Laden’s computer hard drives. All sorts of information was obtained that they are not about to share with us. But we did learn that they were planning to blow up a train on some bridge on the anniversary of 9 – 11. As terrorist plans go that doesn’t sound very ambitious, not for a tenth anniversary. President Obama went to ground zero yesterday to lay a wreath or something, but did not make any media speeches.
Well it is apparent that the Republicans are still living in an “alternate reality” of their own. I know I’ll have to face some of this from Judy tomorrow. She says that “all the money in the Social Security trust fund is gone. It’s been spent”. That is absolutely not true. Apparently it’s been invested in US treasury bonds where it can gain interest and grow bigger. The Heritage Foundation was on yesterday and they were saying that we are at a “bare bones defense budget” right now, and the government wants to make it even lower, which would damage our security. The truth of course is that Gates and all the others don’t want all these weapons that congress is funding. These are done a lot more for corporate profits, rather than any national security interest. Of course they were debating some oil bill in congress yesterday by which they want to lease more land off of Virginia and the Gulf Coast. I see nothing wrong with that as long as they actually use it for drilling and just not sit on it to drive the price even higher. They said that Alaska has more oil we aren’t using than all of Saudi Arabia. This is another blatent untruth. I have been told from our side that the US as a whole has only two percent of the world’s oil reserves and that if we had all of Alaska’s oil now, that supply would only last the US a year and a half. I do agree with whoever says it that we need to break the will of these speculators. This may have already been accomplished as the price of crude oil was down nine dollars a barrel yesterday and has in fact dipped below a hundred dollars per barrel for the first time in months. We were told by the media that the Republicans have given up on any Medicare cuts. But clearly this isn’t true either since Paul Ryan was at it on C-Span yesterday saying how “grandpa and grandma” aren’t worried about rising oil company profits as they have their stock in those same oil companies”. That may be the case. You know I’m still not sure how this “hands off my medicare” crowd feels about Paul Ryan’s plan to “revitalize the economy” by eliminating Medicare as we know it. Are they willing to make that bargain with the Devil and to sell out their children when they themselves will never live long enough to see their children impoverished when they grow old?
As you know Wednesday morning’s writings compass a body of material, most of which I have decided is not suitable for blogger. However I’d like to offer up the following dream. After I got back into bed I had a new dream.
This is one of those harmless dreams you know means nothing.
I dreamed I was scheduled to go up with a Christian group to the mountains.
I was only half into it.
But I watched the scenery as we ascended the roads.
We came to a lodge and we prayed and other activities were discussed.
Someone put on a record album.
I used to have this album.
It was of different groups but it contained the Beatles’ “last single” in June of 1970 that was played a lot on the radio at the time but seldom heard since.
One side was sort of a rockabilly number reminding me of the Stray Cats that had the words “yet it is” in the lyrics.
Paul was singing the lead.
The other was a bit more downcast called - -something- - something Sam.
But it wasn’t mohair.
Ringo sang it.
It kind of reminded me a little of Junior’s Farm, but it was a little slower in tempo.
After this we hiked higher in the mountains through the snow.
I don’t think we were planning to sled or anything.
I think it was kind of a winter wildlife expedition.
I climbed on top of a big rock.
Then the rock began sliding down the hill.
Others off in the distance said, “Look, [Marcus] is on that rock and it’s moving.
The boulder kept going, not rolling but sliding- and I was afraid it would never stop- - until I hit a cliff or something.
Finally it did.
I can’t say how far- - maybe it was 100 yards- - maybe an eighth of a mile.
We went back to the lodge.
By now it was getting dark and I was thinking “they never said the outing would last this long”.
But some fat lady picked out six of us to go in her van, and the rest of us would travel back in the same bus we came in.
I was a bit confused.
As we came to a small town one of the passengers said to me “Well, I guess we’re just about at the bottom”, and I said “Hell no, do you remember how far we came up?
We’ve got all sorts of descending to do”.
Like I say- - it’s one of those dreams with absolutely no meaning.
According to evidence I just received President Obama's long form birth certificate is a fake that was composited in Adobe Illustrator. It has "layers". This, if true is one of the worst forgeries since those documents about President Bush's military service that got Dan Rather fired. The birth date was changed from August (for some reason I had "July" on the brain), and the "1" is a darker shade and a different "layer" and many items on the document are obviously darker and lighter shades. I don't know where the source of the video got his document from, but I would suppose, if he's being honest with us, he got it from the official WhiteHouse.gov web site, which he said earlier in the video that he did. As you know fifteen percent of the American public still thinks the document is a fake.
