We Made It!

These are just my observations below - and then other stuff I wrote about the upcoming "event".

It's interesting reading - but the main thing is - WE MADE IT!

Well, I went to work on New Year's Eve as they promised to have us out by 11 PM - which I was glad, because I have worked every New Year's, and they usually don't let us go, and I have to drive home with all those amateurs out there.  And every New Year's there's cars on the side of road with people in who knows what kind of trouble; cars facing the wrong way on the road after they have spun out, and a few cars pulled over by police.  I never like driving home from work on New Year's Eve.  At least I usually get off at 1:30 AM - so I can beat the people leaving when the bars close.  So I got to home somewhere between 10 and 11.

And guess what?  Al Capone's vault.  Nothing happened.  I am very happy about that.  I am glad all the chicken littles were wrong.  Don't get me wrong - hey, I stocked up some of this and some of that.  I had water and food to spare and other stuff - but we didn't need it and I'm very happy about that.  What kind of jokes will come out of this?  I'll tell you one thing - now who do you believe when it comes to what's going to happen?  These guys were like the end of the world/Jesus is coming back on such and such a date people.  Wrong.  So who's going to believe them next time?  Well, there's that saying, there's one born every minute.  And has anyone heard these nay sayers apologizing?  I haven't.  I guess you could also call me one of them as I was passing along the information about what "might" happen.  But forewarned is forearmed, and all the rest of it.  All these important and knowledgeable people were telling us what might happen, shouldn't we listen?  I really thought some terrorism, or at least some domestic wackos were going to pull some stunts, but apparently, unless the media was told by the government to shut up about those things - it looks like not a thing happened.
The only thing I know of, on Dave Letterman - they called a 7-11 in Sweden, if my memory serves me.  The fellow there said that at midnight on New Year's their cash register when to March of 1983.  Something like that.  Dave commented to the fellow: "Sir, you're lucky to be alive!"  And that's it.  I didn't hear any other stories.  Did you?
The rest below was written before the "event" - or could it be called "non event".  Reminds me of when John Stewart was subbing on Tom Snyder, it was the inauguration for Clinton's second term (why did they have to spend millions, when they had already sworn him in once before?).  Anyway, John said this "we're building a bridge to the 21st Century" - what's all the hype?  You could build a donut to the 21st Century.  We're going to get there folks.  We are.  (Of course there are some who say it's next year and I suppose they're right).  Here's my explanation for that one:  When you drive your car off the lot it may have some mileage on it.  Even if it's one mile.  Do you wait for the numbers to roll over to 2001?  No, while you're driving you want to see all those zeroes lined up.  Get it?  Hey, and if you miss it, you're disappointed, aren't you?  And you're not looking forward to 2001 - even though that would be the 2000 for you; you want to see all those zeroes lined up!
Also, a friend of mine knew a few people who got an SUV, and loaded it up with stuff to go to the mountains, away from the gunfire and marshall law - and, get this, in case a nuclear bomb would explode under the sea and there would be title waves roaring across the country as in the movie Deep Impact.  Well, turns out they didn't go. (Even though they reported that marshall law would be declared the week of December 20th...)  Now the fellow says they have to wait for a (they, meaning the government) cataclysmic event, and then they'll declare marshall law.  You can't believe all these web sites you run across, you know.  But this guy was in the military, and he knows....   Yeah, yeah...  Now if someone could explain Chemtrails to me.

It is now December 1st.  I was listening to the radio the other day, and they said Philadelphia has had its first Y2K problem.  I was on the ski machine and I nearly froze with fear.  What happened?  Well, it seems people got their notice for jury duty, and they were told to report in 1900.  Well excuse me.  This is "not" a Y2K in my book.  This is a prefix problem.  Like your check book having checks that say 19(fill in).

And this is what I think my brother is talking about.  My brother learned COBOL years ago.  He said the digits turning over ain't gonna do a thing and all of this is hype.  And I think I see his point.  The computer doesn't know it's 1900 now for heaven's sake - it's only operating on two digits.  The next digit after 99 is 00.  The next digit 01.  The computer has no idea what year it is.  It's only running on two digits.  My driver's license expires --/--/00 (I left out the first digits, you think I'm going to tell you?  But the last digits are 00 and you and I know that means 2,000.  The computer could care less if it's 00 or 30,000AD for that matter.
Maybe you saw the movie.  Dumb.  Still going by midnight.  If there's to be any power outages they will be Greenwich time midnight which is 7 PM where I am.  IF anything is to happen.  The dumb thing about the movie - we got this John Wayne - Hercules or whatever mentality of the one man show taking care of everything.  You really need an inexperience nit wit out there (and he hides behind a fire emergency vehicle to avoid the sliding plane - good move!).  Then, in the power plant, as all the guys in orange work suits run away in terror, he's the one to manually turn the valves - like the couldn't ask some of the workers to try that before the run away.  Anyway.  I suppose it was a thriller for kids.  And there's one of my points - why this one man hero save the world type stuff?  Nobody is Joe know it all Johnny on the spot there just in time.
Only in Hollywood.
I myself am beginning to think that almost nothing is going to happen.  But I don't know for sure, and I have taken precautions (once again, you think I'm going to tell you?)  I think some water on hand is a very good idea.  Should something happen with the water you're going to want to have some around - or maybe you have a water purifier.
There are people I know who say "They're not telling you - marshall law will be declared somewhere between December 20th and 28th.  There's people high up in the military who know stuff..."  All right chicken little, the New World Order is going to be ushered in?  The Illuminatti wins?   I don't think so.
I read a new take on something lately.  You know where it says in Daniel that many shall go to and fro and knowledge shall increase?  Well it's only with the use of high speed computers can you search the scriptures and find all these "Bible Codes".
You know, like in your daily newspaper - those puzzles and all.  Apparently God arranged things so that - well, check into yourself.  It also shows that God knows what's going to happen - and he doesn't meddle.  It's already written in the book.  But you can't rely on these "codes" to predict the future - but there are current events in there - and it's a lot more than coincidence.
Check it out.

Well, you've got people building bunkers and you've got Alfred E Newman types (what, me worry?) The main thing to worry about is all the worried people.  What sort of panic will this cause and how will that affect everything.  Forget the computers, what about the reactionary people?

Even more on Tesla at end...

2K or not 2K

That is the Question

Whether 'tis nobler... Lions and tigers and bears oh my!  The lion is the lamb of Judah, coming any day.  The tiger is China that will have taken us by force in 2010.  A bull market is always followed by a bear market.  And on the predictions go... Though that last statement is always true.

There is a lot of stuff out there about the upcoming Y2K computer glitch.  All hype?  Some true?  Only your computerdresser knows for sure.  Excuse me; even they don't.  They only know it should be interesting.  They can dismiss the 999 thing.  Worry about the date Sept. 9th, 1999. No computer should be caught by that.  Just because programmers would use that to indicate the end of the program they had written means nothing to a date that could be any configuration of nines.  No problem.  But that's not all.
Just writing about this, I feel that perhaps I have lowered in your sight.  I have joined the other nuts promoting fear.  I feel like I have to defend myself.  But I am just passing along a little of what I have heard.  It may or may not be true; but aspiring minds want to know.
Forewarned is forearmed.  Do not panic, prepare.  The key word is readiness.  The flesh doesn't want to believe this thing and the flesh doesn't want to prepare.  That's the nature of the flesh.  Ah, but you say, believing in the boogie man is of the flesh also.  Okay.
Did you know, in World War II (the war to end all wars was later called WWI) they were trying find ways to win the war.  They were experimenting with weapons that messed with mother nature.  There were three major things they were working on. One of these experiments had something to do with "the Philadelphia experiment" I think. The atom bomb panned out first, so they went with that as a way to hopefully end the war. Before this, Tesla's safe had been raided by the Feds after he had died. (If you don't know about Nikola Tesla, that should be enough for you to believe in conspiracy theories right there - he should have been a household word way before Einstein.  But Einstein had the apparent credentials -  his back door open and closed a lot - he had a taste for the ladies - seems to go with power and popularity; as Mel Brooks would say: "It's good to be the king....")
What would you say to me if I had told you in 1940 that we are going to have a bomb, that when dropped on a city will produce a big flash, a huge mushroom cloud, and obliterate an area for miles around.  Would you have said I was nuts?  Buck Rogers and Jules Verne did not have anything like that in their arsenal!  (Did they?)  Would you believe we could "split the atom"?
Have you heard about HAARP?
When we were deciding about electricity at the turn of the century there was the debate as to using AC or DC.  Tesla (there's that name again) knew DC was better.  AC would require substations every five miles or so just to keep the power going.  JP Morgan had the metal necessary for AC and wanted to make a great profit selling it.  So one night they burned down Tesla's lab, hoping Tesla was in it.  Tesla was out for a sandwich.  He also got his revenge, a little - he publicly asked JP Morgan for money to help him rebuild and how could JP refuse without looking bad to the public? Money and power run things.  News, eh?
So those with money run things when they can.   And will do whatever it takes.
And another thing:  When the scriptures were written people were familiar with using oil for their lamps and farming and taking care of livestock.  We live in a different era.  If you took away electricity - how well do you think that you would survive?  If we have a depression, it will not be just like 1930.  Should we lose our electrical power too we will be like 1830.  Think about it! (Gene makes this point in his book "Economics Doomsday".
This Y2K stuff, may or may not cause big problems; it may just cause some annoying inconveniences.  But Gene Edwards says the trouble will start beforehand just from the rumor and apprehension.  Depression will strike.  He is relying on the lessons of history.  He could be wrong.  He could be right.  Even his hairdresser doesn't know for sure.
It is all this doubt and speculation that will make for a lot of who-knows-what.  A lot of generators and kerosene heaters being sold that wouldn't be normally?  More guns and ammo held by the general public?  More people hoarding gold and water and food?  A run on the banks?  Grocery store shelves empty?  Men fainting with fear and foreboding about what is happening?
Don't know.
But there's Trouble in River City.  And that starts with a "T" and that rhymes with "P" and that stands for "pool".  Are you going to end up in abandoned puddles of the Gene pool?  Edwards? Alvarez?  Who says?  Now I am talking like a madman.
Have you heard of the weapon "plasma"?
If only the scripture contained the answers.  I'll tell you what, with all this speculation I am glad to personally have the Rock of Jesus Christ.  I have doubted him often, but he has proved true over and over.
These things coming up?  We all are simply guessing.  God does know the future; he just doesn't talk too much.  In these last days He has spoken to us through His Son.  "In the world you will have tribulation - be of good cheer - I have overcome the world", said Jesus.
But it wouldn't hurt to have a little preparedness.  Not chicken little "the sky is falling" and not an ostrich with its head in the sand.  Practical readiness.   N'est pas?
Though we are only guessing about the future, we can make some fairly accurate and educated predictions - and that's why I pass this along to you.
What have I done to prepare?  Not much.  Even I am being lackadaisical.  But should disaster strike guess who will banging their head against the wall the hardest?  Luck is opportunity meeting preparation.  I'm hoping to be lucky.
Yes, our life is in God's hands.  But you ever hear the story of the guy on the rooftop watching the flood waters rise?  He was warned the flood was coming but claimed God would save him.  His friends came by in a boat, but he said don't worry, God would save him.  A helicopter came and begged the man, but he waved it off claiming that God would save him.
When the man came to see God, shortly thereafter (as he had drowned), the man asked God, "Why didn't you save me?"
God replied, "I warned you, and sent a boat and a helicopter.  What else did you want me to do?!"

"The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions." Da Vinci

Crazy, nuts, loony? They're splitting the atom. Watch it!

BTW, did you know that Tesla invented the MRI?

And an "earthquake" machine. And the fascinating thing about his is, I can explain to you how it worked: Every thing has vibration.  Everything moves.  Molecules are always in motion or in orbit, if you will.  He said he tuned this little box to the frequency of the building. And that started to bring the whole building down till he smashed the box. One of the principles is the same reason that soldiers "fall out" while crossing a bridge.
Oh, here's from the back of the book put together by Dale Pond and Walter Baumgartner
Excerpt from the New York World - Telegram
July 11, 1935
Nikola Tesla revealed that an earthquake which drew police and ambulances to the region of his laboratory at 48 E Houston St., New York, in 1898, was the result of a little machine he was experimenting with at the time which "you could put in your overcoat pocket."
The bewildered newspapermen pounced upon this as at least one thing they could understand and "the father of modern electricity" told what had happened as follows:
"I was experimenting with vibrations.  I had one my machines going and I wanted to see if I could get it in tune with the vibration of the building.  I put it up a notch.  There was a peculiar cracking sound.
I asked my assistants where did the sound come from.  They did not know  I put the machine up a few more notches.  there was a louder cracking sound.  I knew I was approaching the vibration of the steel building.  I pushed the machine a little higher.
Suddenly all the heavy machinery in the place was flying around.  I grabbed a hammer and broke the machine.  The building would have been about our ears in another few minutes.  Outside in the street there was pandemonium.
The police and ambulance arrived.  I told my assistants to say nothing.  We told the police it must have been an earthquake.  That's all they ever knew about it."
Some shrewd reporter asked Dr. Tesla at this point what he would need to destroy the Empire State Building and the doctor replied: "Vibration will do anything.  It would only be necessary to step up the vibrations of the machine to fit the natural vibrations of the building and the building would come crashing down.  That's why soldiers break step crossing a bridge."
This new manual presents a new technology.  It is based on sonic vibrations which can be produced by a comparatively simple apparatus - The Tesla Oscillator.
In the oscillators or transmitters described in this book, a resonance effect can be observed.  Resonance appears to be an ever-expanding, magnifying effect with these transmitters.
Very little input energy is required to set the device in motion and build that motion to tremendous levels of usable energy.  The principle employed is called "Amplitude Modulated Additive Synthesis" by music industry engineers.
