15 Minutes, Armageddon, Curtis Lemay, The Cold War, thermonuclear war, US v Soviet war

We are all still living comfortable lives, and few people think much about thermonuclear war, but it wasn’t that way in the late 50s and early 60s. Everyone was worrying about the possibility of hydrogen bombs falling on their city, which was strange because everyone wants to live a long and healthy life while having as much fun as possible with their friends and family, so who would be trying to make H-bombs and preparing to kill millions of people? Unfortunately, it was primarily Americans and soon after the Soviets in Russia who were in a potentially civilization-destroying arms race. It was insane, everyone thought it was insane, and yet both of these countries were pursuing this craziness to the brink of Armageddon and to the very last hair trigger point before backing off.

15 Minutes: General Curtis LeMay and the Countdown to Nuclear Annihilation by L. Douglas Kenney clearly shows how intelligent sane men can push all humanity and the rest of our living world to the brink of extinction. Even though this was called the Cold War, and it was a war that never went into all out combat mode, it was the most dangerous time for humanity since Mt. Toba erupted 73,000 years ago. These two events almost destroyed our species. What worries me about nuclear war is that it is being conducted by sane people with positive human motives.

Stanley Kubrick, after making his Academy Award winning black comedy movie about the advent of a Doomsday war, Dr. Strangelove, is quoted as saying, “I suspect that few planets survive their nuclear age.” That comment is probably still true at the moment because we still have a super abundance of weapons and the only thing protecting us is dumb luck and fear of retaliation. That isn’t a stable situation! We have been very lucky so far, but our luck seems to be running out. Iran and Israel seem to be at loggerheads over each other’s right to exist. India and Pakistan don’t seem much more accommodating to one another’s existence. At present the U.S. and Russia have recognized their ability to annihilate one another but at the expense of self destruction, so they just respect each other’s power and live in a tight little peace. The major coming problem seems to be who will control the world when China surpasses the US in overall economic and military power.

After 20 years of aerial combat experience Curtis Lemay had created and was in control of what he thought was necessary to protect America: a collection of fabulously powerful weapons and a highly trained fighting force who were loyal and committed to his cause – the Strategic Air Command. At the end of 1961 – “we also know that the actual number of SIOP alert forces totaled 1,551 delivery vehicles—bombers, missiles, submarines, navy aircraft—with 3,382 megatons on hair-trigger readiness. There were 27,387 nuclear weapons in the national stockpile.  The Soviet stockpile numbered 3,322 bombs.” p. 284

Potential Nuclear Targets

A year before the Cuba Missile crisis, on November 24, 1961 because of a minor fault on a radio tower near Black Forest, Colorado, SAC went onto a War Alert readiness status and every available bomber was either in the air or was loaded and with engines running at the end of the runways. The majority of SAC’s power could have been in the air in under 15 Minutes. That was caused by a technical error, but the Cuba Missile Crisis was worse because it was intentional and in some ways we came even closer to … _ _ _ …

Below is a promotional video seeking workers for the National Labs. Watch it and you will see that the people working in these occupations are normal and intelligent and apparently moral. That is what makes this a problem so dangerous and so intractable.

You can help make the world safer by working at the National Labs.

World population is the most critical issue.

humanities survival, Population critical issue, Save humanities future

Population control is the most unpleasant issue of all. There are several good reasons why it is rarely discussed by people and virtually never by politicians. Individuals hate to discuss population control because it seems to interfere with their second most imperative demand of life, the right to the creation and survival of their children. The first imperative of course is personal survival. If you as an individual don’t survive long enough to have children then you are the end of a billion years of successful evolution. Not a single one of your ancestors failed to have children and they programmed into your genes the urge to survive and to reproduce, and in the case of all mammals the protection of their children.

All of this works out quite well in the natural flow of life, as it forces the maximum number of children upon a species and then lets the various vagaries of the world destroy the least lucky, which generally means those not as well adapted to their local environment as their siblings and cousins. This abstract natural method is not vicious because there are no ethical  or emotional motivations involved, but it is painful and in the end every individual dies. Humans operated under this natural law up until recently and it caused no problems.

The earliest we could claim humans were causing a problem for the natural environment is when we began consuming large quantities of energy stored as fossil fuels. That took off in earnest with the invention of the coal-burning steam engine and was just beginning to cause a worldwide pollution problem by about 1825. Nothing really serious at that time, but then along came the coal-burning electric power-generating plants, powered farm equipment, automobiles and jet airplanes, and as they say, much much more. Still, this pollution problem would not be an existential problem for humanity, but it was an side effect of the stage being set for a massive population explosion. With a huge population of interactive intelligent beings, the laws of nature were explored and then exploited, and that was so productive that great numbers of people came into being and many of them became involved in creating even more advanced technical devices. This has been wonderful for us — so far.

You and I have been privileged to grow up and live in a world with an abundance of marvels, and we take them for granted, and we take continued progress for granted. Unfortunately, there is a downside to science and technology that made this all possible, but this problem can be coped with if we choose to do so. If we fail to choose to make the necessary adjustments it means the extinction of humanity in the not too distant future. The reason for human extinction is simple enough — humans now have the technology to create Weapons Of Extermination (WOEs). These are far worse than what are known as Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs) some of which individually can kill a million people. Most of the WMDs are not so potent, but in a major war these weapons won’t be used individually and their results will combine and the results will be cumulative and thus more destructive. Probably these, even in combination, will not kill everyone, with exceptions.

What I am thinking of as WOEs are the combined effects of the 30,000 atomic weapons and the diseases intentionally designed to be more lethal and resistant to all known means of cure. Also, the geneticists will probably come up with some form of evil little monsters to do us in. I value what Craig Venter and his followers are doing, and they are making the world a better place, but I am afraid there will be a dark side to their success.

I have met some of the scientists and others involved in this type of research, and they are very nice people. Dedicated researchers trying to improve the world by finding out how nature works and then making devices which make our lives better. Unfortunately, sometimes nations have wars and in a moment these wonderful things that make our lives better get converted into horrible things which kill other people. I wrote a sonnet many years ago addressing this unfortunate problem:


When man’s most brilliant children speak of peace,
They do so in a most deceitful way.
With one hand they give us a golden fleece.
But, with the other, all of us, they slay

When Armageddon dawned all men still loved,
Mankind, and beast, and tree and clear blue sky.
But then, these man brought blasts came and proved,
The best for life that man could do was die

With mister Noble’s gifts and Einstein’s too,
Seeming love turns suddenly to proven hate,
That renders pulsing life to stinking goo.
Is this for me and you? Is this our fate

We need no villains with their subtle shifts,
With heroes such as these to bring us gifts.


It appears impossible to me at this time, for the currently super over-population of seven billion people to come down to a reasonable Earth population of seven million without a Doomsday war. So, I don’t worry about it anymore and have started trying to create the possibilities of a Post-Doomsday society which might have the possibility of founding a society where the world population could be defined at a specific number and then maintained at that smaller number indefinitely. It is a large number as far as large-sized species are concerned, but very small compared to current numbers.

The way to set up the post-Doomsday world is to have an abundant supply of certain things, some of which are to be provided by the EarthArk storehouse placed on Mt. Vinson in Antarctica. In that location a seed bank will be kept permanently cold and the stored items will be viable for thousands of years. The other critical thing is to define a government which will support long-term stability and maintain the population at a restricted level. Perhaps the most difficult thing to do will be to create a mind-set for the public which is willing to accept a man-made law of controlled reproduction as opposed to the natural law of maximizing fertility. The future people need this, because natural animal reproductive urges will lead in short order to another population and a scarcity driven Doomsday war. Unfortunately,  with each of these cycles the Earth will become a much poorer place for all of its inhabitants.

We are doomed to a Doomsday war, because we have already vastly overshot the permanent carrying capacity of the Earth. Our future offspring may learn to live with man-made laws to supervene nature’s second most powerful demand. My hope is that the first imperative, the desire to survive, will ultimately prove stronger than the second imperative, to eagerness to reproduce. You and I will not live to see this happen, but we can easily provide for a much better world for those who do survive.

Einstein was wrong about human morality not improving

12 Saturday Feb 2011

Einstein, Einstein quotes, Human failings, morality

Einstein clearly got many things right, but his statements about human morality not improving can be shown to be wrong. If we look at many of the statements of the ancient sages, as described in the post Variations on what the Golden Rule means, we would see a clearly higher moral development through time. There is a more universal appreciation of each individuals relationship with all humanity, and it can even be observed in the behavior of the common man. The change, even in last the one hundred years shows a clear improvement in peoples understanding of other people’s humanity and human needs. Here are some wonderful Einstein quotes cadged from the internet which show his bent, but remember these statements were made by the man as responsible as any for creating the Doomsday weapons. It was Zillard, Teller and Einstein who composed the letter to President Roosevelt which started the A-bomb project.

  1. Small is the number of people who see with their eyes and think with their minds.
  2. We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if mankind is to survive.
  3. We cannot despair of humanity, since we ourselves are human beings.
  4. If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed. The further the spiritual evolution of mankind advances, the more certain it seems to me that the path to genuine religiosity does not lie through the fear of life, and the fear of death, and blind faith, but through striving after rational knowledge. Albert Einstein, quoted in: All the Questions You Ever Wanted to Ask American Atheists, by Madalyn Murray O’Hair
  5. No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right; a single experiment can prove me wrong.
  6. A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?
  7. Morality is of the highest importance – but for us, not for God.
  8. Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the Gods.
  9. The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive.
  10. Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.
  11. Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.
  12. Only a life lived for others is a life worthwhile.
  13. Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.
  14. Perfection of means and confusion of ends seem to characterize our age.
  15. Concern for man and his fate must always form the chief interest of all technical endeavours.
  16. It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.
  17. Keep on sowing your seed, for you never know which will grow – perhaps it all will.
  18. Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.
  19. Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.
  20. Anyone who doesn’t take truth seriously in small matters cannot be trusted in large ones either.
  21. Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth.
  22. I do not believe that civilization will be wiped out in a war fought with the atomic bomb. Perhaps two-thirds of the people of the earth will be killed.
  23. Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.

The tone of these statements shows more concern for the feelings of other people than does those similar variations of the Silver Rule, but not so much as the Golden Rule. However, these statements were not directed at improving other people so much as improving the technology of the world. Those improvements would permit people to live better lives. Perhaps, he is right in saying, “It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has exceeded our humanity.” but says, “I do not believe that civilization will be wiped out in a war fought with the atomic bomb. Perhaps two-thirds of the people of the earth will be killed.” Note, that the two people who encouraged him to submit the letter to Roosevelt created super weapons. Teller is famous for creating the H-bomb which is a thousand times more powerful than the A-bomb and Zillard who first thought of all of these bombs and who designed the C-bomb (Cobalt) which is a Doomsday bomb. However, when Einstein said this about the A-bomb the H-bomb was already in development and that technology is a thousand times more powerful, and that was sufficient to kill everyone. He, also must have known about Zillard’s C-bomb because they were lifelong companions. Einstein was obviously a deep thinker, and thought about the future use of what he and his friends were discovering, but it was largely because of him and these friends that humanity now possesses the ability to destroy itself. That simple fact casts a very dark shadow over his eloquent and apparently humane statements.


When man’s most brilliant children speak of peace,
They do so in a most deceitful way.
With one hand they give us a golden fleece.
But, with the other, all of us, they slay

When Armageddon dawned all men still loved,
Mankind, and beast, and tree and clear blue sky.
But then, these man brought blasts came and proved,
The best for life that man could do was die

With mister Noble’s gifts and Einstein’s too,
Seeming love turns suddenly to proven hate,
That renders pulsing life to stinking goo.
Is this for me and you? Is this our fate

We need no villains with their subtle shifts,
With heroes such as these to bring us gifts.

Why was a missile launched from Los Angeles harbor?

Armageddon, Missle launch from LA

Missile launch from Los Angeles, CA harbor
An unannounced missile launch from Los Angeles, California harbor

CBS news. Someone, obviously Obama, launched an intercontinental missile from Los Angeles harbor last night just after sunset. This was an obvious timing to make the missile as visible as possible for easy viewing by the public and the media. Because of its location and timing it was obviously intended to send a message to all concerned that whoever launched that missile had the power to strike anyone, anywhere at any time in the world at their choosing. It had to be launched by a US submarine because if it were a foreign one doing the launch so near a major American city it would do far more than send a message. It would be so provocative as to be a declaration of war, or at least it could easily be declared as such, and that would be far too risky for any sane politician. Unfortunately all politicians are not totally sane.

Notice in the video that the airplane banks to keep the missile in optimum view from out the front window. Random alignments this accurate are rare so it might have been intentional.

Missile launch from off Los Angeles
The missile launch site from off the Los Angeles coast.

The launch site was well within the continental shelf in water about 2400 feet deep. That is great for submarines but makes their detection a near certainty by the underwater detectors that have been reportedly in place since the 1960s and without doubt kept in absolutely updated condition. The submarine would probably have been well known before the launch and the tremendous noise of the launch would make its location detectable clear across the ocean.

Therefore, the only logical assumption is that Obama launched this missile to emphasize the importance of his conversations while abroad. And why could that possibly be just now? Who could the message possibly be being sent to at this time? It’s obvious! To the people about to get an atomic bomb in Iran to cease and desist instantly and for them to permit onsite inspections immediately to prove that they are cooperating. Trust but verify.

Since the Iranians have been adamant about their right to possess these Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMDs) and their repeated declaration that they will destroy Israel when they do have them, then the only option left to Israel and its big brother the US is to destroy those bomb-making facilities before the bombs are made. Unfortunately, the Iranians have prevented an easy destruction, such as the Israelis carried out against Syria’s A-bomb making intentions, by burying them deep underground. The only sure way to destroy these facilities is with atomic weapons. That of course will create a lot of radioactive fallout over India and Pakistan and China all of whom have atomic weapons themselves and who might strike back at the US. So, the question comes as to the timing of the strike.

Will the US strike when Obama is in India? No, that is very unlikely because it would be impossible to protect him. A period of great danger is when he is in Air Force One on his flight back to his home country and he could literally vanish and be almost anywhere in the world for the next day or two. After an attack, if one happened, he would probably be invisible for a week and possibly for a month or more. If the Iranians saw the light in the next couple of days they would have to make an extreme gesture of conciliation but in the past they have shown rigidity and obstinateness and will most likely do that again. Their last card would be to call on their allies to help them; the only ones of any possible help would be Russia, China or remotely India or Pakistan. Russia has been their most worrisome enemy for a long time but China desperately wants their oil and will do almost anything to get it. India and Pakistan don’t have realistic military clout against the US and would be crazy to pick a fight to defend a county they don’t much like anyway. So the only possibility for any help will come from China. Iran at the last moment might claim they already have a bomb and have secretly hidden it in an American city but that would probably hasten their demise.

Therefore, the message sent by this missile launch was to China. I think they will get the message because their military as well as industrial strength is growing very fast at the moment and in five or ten years, possibly a little longer, they will be militarily stronger than the US in some ways. So from their point of view they are far better off to wait a while and not to support Iran in their nuclear weapons acquisition. Thus, they will be forced to concede that a little fallout, no more than their own atomic test bombs, will be better than annihilation. Iran has only an ideological and religious complaint with Israel. Theirs is a war of words and ideas but not of existence of their lives unless they choose to make it so. But China has an existential problem and one of maximizing the growth of their whole society and they have other options for getting oil.

It appears to me that Obama’s trip to India was to clarify these issues. The timing right after the US midterm elections gives him two years to justify his actions. It is unlikely that other nations will vocally support his actions but on the other hand they will all be grateful that Iran doesn’t have the bomb and use it to destroy the Holy Land and threaten them personally. So, after a period of condemnation the whole world will go back to business as usual and everyone will keep their heads tucked in a little lower. That’s the hope. I wish the EarthArk were in place!

This is a last desperate grab at trying to avoid Armageddon.

After reviewing this video footage it looks like a high flying jet airplane contrail coming in from a distant location like Hawaii. That would have been obvious to the people who shot this video but by presenting it in its clipped form it is easy to make an inappropriate interpretation, which I did. The way the video was shot and edited for broadcast made it seem that the reporters had seen the vapor trail begin at the ocean’s surface. Watch the video clip above at 0:04 seconds into the obviously longer original video. Their cropping of time and borders made the vapor trail appear to be coming from the nearby ocean rather than from above the distant ocean.

 

Missile from Los Angeles faked

Notice how they cropped the photo so you can't see the ocean.

 

And again at 1:31 they corrupt a true interpretation by covering the horizon with their anti-informative “MYSTERIOUS MISSILE LIGHTS UP THE SKY OVER THE PACIFIC” so we viewers can’t see it properly. Furthermore, if the clip had lasted longer it would have shown an airplane flying overhead instead of a missile going out to sea, which no doubt the cameraman observed but didn’t report. I have watched airplanes coming in from Hawaii at sunset and you can see them for twenty minutes or more because they are at such a high altitude and brilliantly back lit by the setting sun, just like this one. But when you are on site there is no possibility of mistaking them for a missile rising from the sea. This was crappy reporting at its most manipulative and disgusting and I was totally duped by it. These guys’ careers should be terminated for clearly lying to their public and I should be chastised for being duped.

[Update: 2010-11-10 Here is a site which shows lots of sunset contrail photos.]

EarthArk, humanities survival, Long term survival

“A deadly strain of genocidal anti-Semitism brings the nightmare of nuclear Armageddon one step closer and with it the need for more resolute preventive actions.”

That is the concluding sentence in the new book by Robert S. Wistrich, A Lethal Obsession: Anti-Semitism from Antiquity to the Global Jihad. This is an extremely long and heavily documented book about hatred. I didn’t read it all. Quite frankly I couldn’t endure so very much vitriol but I did read the book’s book-length introduction, the first and last chapters and the epilogue and dipped in throughout the remainder.

My specific interest for comment lies in the concluding sentence, quoted above, which assumes that nuclear Armageddon is imminent and that the hatreds directed towards the state of Israel will be the precipitating cause of that disaster. I don’t pretend to understand these thousand year long hatreds but it is certain that they are very deeply rooted in the people who do possess them and that they will not go away — ever.

My enduring interest has been the long-term survival of humanity and I choose 10,000 years to put a specific number on it because that is about how long civilization has existed so far. I want the future to last as long as the past. Saying “last forever” or “permanent solution,” as politicians do, becomes nonsense when viewed this way because what they mean is up to the next election. Putting a large, but comprehensible number on such an abstract idea, as humanities long term survival, better demonstrates the conceptual problem. For example, asking a politician about achieving oil independence for the next 10,000 years makes their so called permanent solution obviously a next election solution. Even having a child ask the politicians if their proposed solution will last until the child is as old as the politician speaking will probably show the absurdly short duration of their proposals.

When one looks at the hatreds discussed in this book and realizes that all contending states now possess atomic bombs, or very soon will possess them, it becomes absurd to hope that they will not be used for 10,000 years. It becomes more reasonable to assume that some fifty year old politician who says his problem will be solved in his lifetime implies he will attack within a few years. It implies that it will happen within his administration. That’s why I am worried about getting the EarthArk into position.

Once any one of these many people in possession of atomic bombs feels that unless he attacks first, and that means immediately, that he and all his people will be annihilated, the war will begin. Once that war begins it is in everyone on the planet’s best interest to prevent any more a-bombs from exploding. But that has been the condition right along and still we have these imminent conflicts.

A further problem is that these are ideological problems, problems of the mind, and not natural problems like food supply or energy supply or water. Those are real world population problems of human existence but they are never mentioned in the book as intimately linked to population problems and we do have an exploding population. The hatreds in this book are based on ideas and history such as whether someone believes in a particular after life experience or another. None of these types of ideas can be proven until one is in that after life world and so for all of these people it is a question of beliefs but untestable beliefs. The unresolvable problem is that they hate one another for the other’s untestable belief and even if you ask another person about their belief you never really know what they secretly believe. So their hatreds are of the permanently invisible and the unknowable. I don’t understand it and I suspect the reason I don’t understand is because it is irrational and not understandable. But these hateful people certainly can feel it and they can and do act violently on their feelings.

If you don’t believe anyone hates you, read this book.

The Zombie Diet: How to control your inner self.

How to control your eating, Zombie Diet

Once you realize that everyone is controlled by their inner zombie it becomes easier for you to admit that you yourself are almost totally out of control of your own actions. The Zombie Diet gives you some options for trying to regain some control over your automatic inner self — that’s the part of your person I am calling your Zombie. The basic idea for this diet is: We are in control of our actions of the future but not of our actions of the present. Therefore, if we want to control our future actions we must control what our future zombie perceives and that way we can control what our future zombie does.

For some other background on these ideas see:

  1. Zombies to the rescue of stupid people – that is all of us.
  2. What can I learn and use from my next encounter?
  3. The setpoint diet is easy.
  4. Eat less and live longer! But HOW ? ? ? Here’s how.
  5. The ten day diet plan – The easiest diet ever.
  6. BMI (Body Mass Index) is replaced by BDI (Body Density Index)
  7. Fat, Fatter, Fattest! – The regulation of Energy Balance.

The following sonnet from Armageddon concludes with the same sentiment, that of controlling one’s self in the momentarily conscious present. That is an effort to control one’s future self in the anticipated unconscious future and thus to prevent serious problems and needless suffering of our future person.

You vile and slimy piece of death-filled dirt,
Placed high by God to live a life sublime,
Now killing those who help and never hurt,
Is this the way one lives who is divine?

Are not you the one who so long ago,
Saw order in the way things flowed through time,
And learned that you would reap where you did sow.
And where you sowed foul lust there’d soon be crime.

Aren’t you the one who always seeks the good,
Yet when you find it quickly turns to bad?
Your heart lives in the present, as it should,
But futures ruled by presents may be sad.

What feels best now is always what we do,
So feel ahead and limit future rue.

That poem is a bit harsh sounding but the sentiment is intended to be helpful in that a moment of conscious forethought prevents unintended disaster. In the case of a diet a moment of forethought to set up a new habit about food can save many moments of excess eating in the future. A simple example: Always keep anything edible out of sight and out of reach, because I know my zombie self will instantly grab and eat anything it sees. Or if you have to have something, put a healthy snack like some fruit out for your zombie to grab.
