- Of course, a big MSM distraction flap when Dan Rather
spoke the Truth: 'Barack Obama could not sell watermelons'. The truth hurts
and what is abundantly obvious is Mr. Obama does not have a clue or a plan
about any subject on any day.
-
- I could see this one coming because Mr. Talk, Talk, Talk
has been an all talk do-nothing his entire life. He sucked as an Illinois
legislator and in the US Senate, too. Barky even lied about the past non-glory
history of his family while pandering to get votes, such as an uncle that
was purportedly part of liberating Auschwitz. Big SMOOCH right on those
Zionist Jew asses by our Liar-in-Chief!!!!
-
- Historical Fact: the Russians liberated Auschwitz, not
American troops. The Big Talker cannot even find his damned Birth Certificate
to prove he is eligible to sit in the Oval Office, much less be President
of the United States.
-
- This essay is about the risk of not having a plan and
words / phrases like ignorance, stupidity, lack of priorities, pathetic
governance and a few others are why we have no plan. In this instance,
the lack of a plan could be fatal to our entire planet and all life on
it including humans. The problem is simply that we have no plan, we have
potential planet destroying events developing in our future, and we have
leaders who have less than a clue what a plan is or looks like.
-
- Sure, the governments and elite have their underground
bunkers but that is not enough to survive what could be headed at Earth.
Under worst case scenarios, I would be more than willing to let them hunker
in their bunkers and then see how well they do at surviving the aftermath.
Most, if not all of them, would not make it. They do not have what it takes
to make it when the chips are down and survival reality sets in.
-
- Even their Svalbard Doomsday Seed Vault may be worthless
when the time comes and our destiny is delivered to us from the Cosmos
like the wrath of God.
-
- Did you catch the recent news that Barky Obama wants
to privatize NASA? Why would he want to do that?
-
- The answer is quite simple. The bankrupt US cannot exert
domination and control over the Terra Firma and they are rapidly losing
control over the ability to dominate and militarize outer space, too.
- Russia and China are no longer pushovers that the US
can bully at will. So, the bankrupt nitwits in DC think the answer is to
let the US private sector (i.e. Big Defense Contractors) figure out a way
to win a no-win situation while running the US even deeper into debt and
red ink. Yet another Iraq fiscal black hole, another Afghanistan financial
fiasco, but this time their really big show is in Outer Space to justify
more plundering of the US Treasury and DC's less-than-half-assed job creation
efforts.
-
- Are you aware that the Pentagon has personnel that have
the title "Non-Terrestrial Officers"? They just cannot wait to
extend 'Dumb and Dumber' beyond the surface of this planet. The reason
that the Defense Department is so upset with UK citizen Gary McKinnon is
he did not even have to try to hack into their 'defense systems' and saw
a list of such 'off world' military personnel. Just in looking for UFO
information the US government covered up, McKinnon saw something that was
not expected.
-
- What is Washington DC? The blind liars leading the blinder
and passing the buck like the spineless nitwits they are. Just like another
unfunded mandate, the gutless wonders in DC pass the buck hoping in desperation
to find a clue or buy more time to get a clue. The problem arises that
they have not a clue where to find the Clue Store. To say that their vision,
leadership skills and judgment are flawed is being kind to them.
-
- Due to the three articles I wrote about Betelgeuse and
Antares that were posted on Rense.com, I continue to get feedback and questions
from readers all over the world. Many of those readers are scientists and
not the type to knee-jerk when pondering facts and data. They are not like
the lying, gutless, spineless worms inWashington, DC and a few other capitals
around the world.
-
- Most ask what do to if we are suddenly confronted with
a nearby Supernova event. Candidly, that depends on what happens at that
moment and if we have any time to do anything other than kiss our butts
and our home planet goodbye. The effects could be within seconds or drawn
out over time, even decades or centuries as one blow after another remodel
our Planet Earth into something much different than it looks today.
-
- The immediate, near-term and long-term affects could
be the Ugliest Bitch that we have ever seen here on Planet Earth. Each
blast or impact could render this planet less habitable over time or end
the planet in one swift blow. We will not know whether it is trick or treat
until it happens, and by then it could be too late to come up with a plan
to avoid extinction of the human species. That is the simple bottom line
reality of a massive Supernova occurring near our home planet.
-
- It could well be an entire new definition of 'Have a
Bad Day' if that is what the Cosmos has in store for Earth.
-
- The effects could be slow or could be very quick like
getting blasted to oblivion by a huge nuclear blast. I do not think we
will get a choice of whether we get beaten to death slowly or burnt to
a crisp in a split second. Contrary to what the politicos say, we are not
in charge or control of the situation. It will sort of be what it is when
it happens and nothing we can do about it because we as a species have
no plan. In this Cosmos having no plan is fatal sooner or later.
-
- One scientist at Cal Berkeley dismissed my prior articles
to one of my readers, then on a recent National Geographic multi-part special
"Known Universe" admitted that a Supernova is also capable of
making most life die on this planet due to radiation poisoning in the atmosphere.
Gosh, imagine that. Notwithstanding all of the other bad things that happen
with Supernova events like GRB, EMP, overdoses of UV, X-ray, gamma rays,
the nature of our atmosphere could become deadly to life here. Yeah, they
can have their taxpayer funded bunkers to hunker in and snort in all the
radioactive air they want.
-
- We need not all perish at our expense so they can continue
as leaders into the future as Lords of the Cockroaches. At least they would
finally have their job titles correct.
-
- So much for the Svalbard Doomsday Seed Vault, maybe they
can survive for a while eating those seeds. Odds are they will not grow
in sterilized soil and radioactive air. There is also a major problem as
to what would happen to CO2 in such an event and plants need that to grow,
bloom and produce food. I bet these nitwit planners have not thought about
any of that. They are just blowing hundreds of billions of 'our money'
to protect their sorry asses and leave the rest of us out to perish.
-
- Yes, our atmosphere could easily become deadly and toxic
to surface life and the soil as barren as the North and South Poles or
any desert you could name. Bon Appétit! Anyone care for a bowl of
seeds?
-
- One reader even asked an interesting question. The question
posed to me was thus: "If it becomes necessary and the private sector
creates the Genesis evacuation spaceship, how would you go about determining
who is to get a seat and who has to stay behind?"
-
- You can bet all you have that any government plan will
be to perpetuate the government and elite insiders and to Hell with you.
-
- They do not care if the average person lives or dies
now and certainly will not when the choice is their ass or yours. Only
a private sector effort will address the issues that have to be addressed
for survival of the species as being more important than perpetuation of
government bureaucrats, butt-kissers, butt-wipes, photo-op puppets, and
paper-pushing nitwits.
-
- You see, the problem with government can be summed up
quickly. They create mayhem, stagnation, lies and wars based on lies. They
can only say 'yes', or 'no' or do what they do best and that is sit on
their sanctimonious asses and do 'no action'. You see, if they say 'yes'
that can leave a paper trail and someone might get in trouble. If they
say 'no' that can leave a paper trail and might step on the wrong toes
and the bureaucrat gets demoted or fired.
- Their gutless way of facing anything and everything is
the cowardly 'no action' approach.
-
- I would not be in charge of such a decision, but it raises
a key question as to whether or not our species is worth saving. Some could
emotionally argue 'Yes' and many others could be as equally persuasive
with the pragmatic, realist 'No' position of that debate. I did not have
time to write a several thousand page mission statement, but did assure
the reader that very few would be selected and most people on this planet
would resent the reasons they were left behind. We have many people on
this planet that think they are something special but in the bigger realm
of things are about as useful as treading water with a stack of bricks
or an anvil when what is needed is a lifeboat in a treacherous ocean.
-
- No need to worry about sharks because swimming with an
anvil or stack of bricks tied to your neck can be just as deadly. Anvils,
bricks, deadwood, all can drown a person and a species. There are some
circumstances that 'no action' is the equivalent of shooting one's self
or the planet and our species in the head. You can rely that they will
take plenty of action to perpetuate the government and no action to lift
a finger for the average citizen.
-
- The Universe we live in is a deadly lethal place and
every so often it goes through a complete remodeling regardless of what
the locals think about that. I am inclined to agree with some of the scientists
who put forth the argument that Supernovas are probably one of the reasons
we have not detected intelligent beings and at least have a direction to
their home planet. They could be too far away to be heard or detected yet,
or they might also not exist any more due to cosmic forces wiping out their
planet and their entire civilization. Maybe they did not have a high enough
level of technology to escape to safety, or maybe like us Earth Idiots
they had no plan to react to normal, periodic Cosmos catastrophes.
-
- Consider this, Barky, Rahm Emanuel, Bernanke, Pelosi,
Reid, Bush, Cheney, Condoleezza Rice, Palin, McCain, Lieberman, Rumsfeld,
Wolfowitz, Feath, Netanyahu, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown, a gaggle of Zionists,
Paris Hilton, Brittany Spears, Oprah, Jerry Springer, Hannity, O'Reilly,
et al, will not get a seat. They can all stay behind and demonstrate their
'survival skills' as they emerge from their Cowards Bunker. They serve
no purpose but adverse to what is best about the human species. Not a one
of them has a single skill that would be needed on an Earth Evacuation
Mission Species Survival Mission so there would be no justification
to waste space, food, water or any resource for the likes of them.
-
- I have given that reader's question a lot of thought
over the past 5 months and frankly have to conclude that most on this planet
do not deserve two, three or one-hundred chances. Many would want a seat
because they do not want to die, not because they have anything positive
or 'mission critical' to bring to the table about why they deserve to be
saved. Emotions or fear of death would not be a selection criteria or the
'right stuff' to be selected. No mission critical skills would equate to
no seat, regardless of what anyone thought about that.
-
- I tend to think that in most parts of this huge Universe
we are collectively what are called a "Tier 5 Species" that just
does not get it. We have no colonies on other planets, and we certainly
cannot travel to the next planet, star or the next galaxy. We would rather
rape and pollute our home world like crapping in our own dinner plate rather
than develop the means to colonize and mine dead worlds. We have no means
of protecting this planet from anything, having spent thousands of years
killing each other, turning our home world into a toxic waste dump, and
never pondering that we might all share a common fate on one tragic day.
We are sort of stuck on this Third Rock from the Sun, led by idiots, and
living in a La-La Land delusion as if the party never ends.
-
- The three biggest reasons I could see for being left
behind would be: 1.) age / health factors; and 2.) lack of crucial skills
needed on the mission; and 3.) lack of education and / or IQ. Lack of clear
thinking and work ethic would probably be factored in and that alone would
eliminate most that live on this planet. Wealth or celebrity status would
not get a person a seat on such a spaceship.
-
- The phenomenon of blatant ignorance and stupidity with
high school diploma and university degree would not get a seat. We have
all seen how deadly Stupid can be here on Earth, it would be even more
so in Outer Space. Some would have to accept that Mr. Stupid and Ms. Ignorant
have to stay behind for the sake of all.
-
- One of the things I watch closely as the head of a nanotechnology
company is sheer brain power and talent. We have an overabundance of problem
creators on this planet, not enough true problem solvers. As our technology
is trying to move into the future, across the world people are becoming
dumber and more distracted from what really matters with each passing day.
Just as a person is 'horse poor' when they have too many horses to feed
and that alone is making them poor, we here on Earth have the global affliction
of being 'idiot poor'.
-
- It is virtually impossible to get anything done when
one is up to their waist in alligators and up to their eyeballs in idiots.
This is truly an infested planet that is astonishingly dysfunctional.
-
- We have uncountable legions of morons that would try
to suck the life right out of a rock if they are given the chance to do
so. As a planet we are littered across all latitudes and longitudes with
dimwits that are ill-informed, under-educated, focused on the essence of
nothingness, living in the past of bigotry, prejudices, delusions, and
all sorts of bats flying around in their belfry.
-
- I remember having to take geography in junior high school
and was required to know every nation, capital, ocean, sea, major rivers,
states, provinces, capitals of many smaller regions, and mountain ranges,
deserts, etc. Now many people cannot find their own state, province or
nation on a map. Such people would be of little use trying to find a habitable
planet so our species could start over somewhere else. That planet might
be Hell compared to Earth but Homo sapiens might not have a choice when
the black and white alternatives are live or die, hence extinct.
-
- I have watched for years as mankind has come to believe
in any lie before they will ponder and accept even the simplest of truths.
-
- That is about as backwards as a species can be, but that
is an unfortunate reality on current day Earth. There is no plan and that
is demonstrated every day to the maximum degree in WashingtonDC and other
capitals around this world and within the general populations, too.
-
- Some people have developed 'technological advancement
tiers' to generally describe the differences in low-tech beings up to the
highest level of technology that could be developed by any beings.
-
- They are just a general guideline, but what is apparent
is we humans have created a disparity ranging from Tier 7 up to Tier 5
and we may never make it to Tier 4.
-
- http://pixper.wordpress.com/2009/09/28/technological-achievement-tiers/
-
- People believe in lies and misinformation and dismiss
or scoff at truth and realities. That is a sure sign of ignorance and stupidity
and why we have the technological advancement ratings on the low end of
the scale. When a person dismisses facts and truth, they fail a major test
in this life in the categories of discernment and failure to learn from
experience. We have created a vicious circle that just keeps repeating
itself again and again.
-
- That scale of tiers goes from '7' up to '0' and we are
a long way from graduating from 'Tier 5' and reaching the level of 'Tier
4'.
-
- The odds are not good that we will ever make it to the
rank of 'Tier 4 species'.
-
- Trust me on this: TV, drugs, booze, sex and partying
are not a plan to save any part of our species. These inane discussions
on abortion rights, gay rights, health care for all would have no place
when the literal survival of our species is at hand. All of the DC crap
could be put into one huge warehouse and put a big sign on the building:
"All Crap", or "Crap R Us".
-
- We may get to witness in the not-too-distant future that
our educational systems have not only failed the individual, it has failed
our entire species. Sort of like the saying 'for want of a shoe the race
was lost' but it may well be 'for want of an education and a survival plan
the species became extinct.' What is sadder still is that the vast majority
of those living on this planet do not realize that we desperately need
a survival plan or we will be finished on this planet sooner or later.
It is truly amazing when so many can fret over the fate of their 'pet species'
and not come to grips with the simple realization that they might better
worry about the extinction of mankind first. We are not immune from what
this Cosmos can dish out that could totally destroy life on this Planet
Earth.
-
- For all of the wasted energy and hyperventilating about
polar bears, ice caps, trees, bogus Global Warming and hyped carbon credits,
etc there are circumstances in this Universe that could wipe out all of
that in seconds, including all of the human race and end the whining, emoting
and hyperventilating about it. There will be no need for the cacophony
of 'ists' or 'isms' in the dead silence of a dead world where the only
sounds might be wind and water related but an absence of organic life.
-
- People just do not pay attention much any more to things
that really do matter while they become obsessed with gnat crap in the
sugar bowl that does not matter at all. It is a phenomenon that the higher
our technology reaches the dumber the masses have become. It might well
be an omen of things to come and we just get 'terminated' at the 'Tiers
7 to 5 species' level because we just keep flunking the Cosmos first grade.
-
- Are you aware that an asteroid exploded over Indonesia
on October 8, 2009 with the estimated force of three Hiroshima atomic bombs?
The blast was heard up to 10,000 miles away. That is what they call an
NEO, or Near Earth Object near miss. This one did not skirt past the Earth,
it fortunately blew up high enough in the atmosphere to not lay waste to
the Sulawesi area of Indonesia. Had the asteroid hit the ground, millions
would have perished.
-
- http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/space/6444895/Asteroid-
- explosion-over-Indonesia-raises-fears-about-Earths-defences.html
-
- It happened but MSM did not want to create a Sheeple
stampede by alerting with the message "Earth, we have a major problem!"
Either they did not see this asteroid coming, or no one gave a damn about
announcing that Earth might have had a very bad day on that day.
-
- Earth has no defense, nor can any defense be developed
to change the course of galactic and cosmic realities under the current
political constipation, bullshit artists, celebrity obsession, and economic
malaise our pathetic Dear Leaders have stepped in like a big pile of elephant
crap. Note in the article that the Barky Obama Administration boasts that
he will have a 'plan' by October 2010.
- Wow, nothing quite like one year of procrastination from
the self-puffed up political bullshit artists in Washington, DC. I address
the 'no defense' matter in this essay and how tragic such could turn out
to be for Earth and the human species.
-
- I rate Barky's plan to have a plan to save Earth as 'zero';
'Tiers 7 to 5 species' with a 'zero plan' and led by a 'zero president'
and a bunch over on Capital Hill that are sort of in the -8 to -100 species
category way down below the agrarian Tier 7. Hey, they are called Congress
Critters for good cause because monkeys cannot farm or cook. The US could
not do any worse if we had 535 chimpanzees sitting in the Senate and House
determining the fate of the United States of America, and a baboon in the
Oval Office and spider monkeys running all over the West Wing.
-
- Do not hold your breath because Barky has no clue, no
plan. Now that Dan Rather has spilled the beans regarding Barky's competence,
the 'Barky Plan' will be merely to prove that he can sell watermelons to
stupid people. Mark my words, after Health Care the Watermelon Salesman
will appear. The Dreaded Tap Dancer with his teleprompter, all talk, no
performance. My grandfather taught me well how to spot a Clinton, Bush
or Barky Obama: "They are not hemmed in by the Truth."
-
- Some seem to think due to my writing about Supernovas
that I am apocalyptic or some sort of End Times person. Nothing could be
further from the truth. I am the eternal optimist in the face of any obstacles
or threats. I firmly believe that I control my fate and make my own luck
in life through brains, effort and doing the right things. However, I am
also pragmatic as to the realities of any situation and very well informed.
-
- Yes, Betelgeuse and Antares are both moving towards Supernova
detonation. Get over it; massive stars do in fact blow up and some in spectacular
and Life Ending extinction fashion. Due to the distances in light years
I am not going to be surprised if I wake up one day and one of the Supernovas
has announced its happening has occurred and its arrival here on this nuthouse
we call Planet Earth. The odds are high that the stars have already blown
up but the notice has not arrived here yet due to those stars being about
320-400 and 600 light-years away respectively.
-
- At 15 (Antares) to over 20 solar masses (Betelgeuse),
that is too close to not inflict major problems here instantly or over
time.
- The human mind cannot grasp how many thermonuclear warhead
equivalents either of these two goliath stars will produce when they go
boom as a Supernova. We could not figure out a way to blow up Earth and
even remotely compare to what these huge stars are capable of generating
in sheer Supernova energy release. One cannot think in terms of mega tonnage,
think in terms of giga, tetra or peta tonnage energy releases or even beyond
those mind-numbing figures.
-
- We could detonate every nuke on Earth and it would be
like comparing a firecracker (mankind's power) to a 100 megaton thermonuclear
bomb (a very large Supernova). Betelgeuse is 1 billion miles in diameter,
larger than the orbit of Jupiter around the Sun. That is a big nuke by
any definition or measure and Supernovas are thermonuclear explosions that
exceed our ability to mentally grasp the sheer power and ferocity of the
event.
-
- One of our scientists calculated that Betelgeuse will
be 5 to 10 times as bright as a Full Moon, but from 320-400 light years
away.
-
- We came across another star named WR 104 that could be
very nasty, read 'life extinguishing', if we get a Gamma Ray Burst when
that star goes to Supernova mode. The WR stands for Wolf Rayet and
is a volatile type of star or binary star pair. All of the intense energy
coming out the pole has made it hard to get a clear reading on mass, current
condition of the star, true distance, etc. Looking right at the pole of
WR 104 is somewhat reminiscent of looking down the rifling barrel of a
gun or howitzer. Yes, it is aimed right at us, and yes it is close enough
to wreak havoc and devastation on this planet.
-
-
-
-
-
- Some scientists say don't worry and others say this star
could blast Earth with a gamma ray burst and destroy our home planet almost
in an instant. One US scientist even posted a comment that WR 104 is aimed
45 degrees away from Earth. Wrong! We have nothing that far out into space
to take hyperspectral images like that and be looking straight down the
barrel of a howitzer. It is aimed at Earth.
-
- Most scientists agree that it is somewhere around 8,000
light years from Earth, too far to do much damage as Supernova. However,
if it creates a Gamma Ray Burst, or 'GRB', that distance is nothing for
the GRB to fry the Earth to past well done and do so in mere seconds and
minutes. A GRB would arrive here at the speed of light. If WR 104 blew
up 7,999 years ago, we may wake up to a major bad day in one year or so.
Most people just do not get it that we cannot see a far off Supernova until
the light arrives here. When one looks up at Betelgeuse in the night sky,
the light that reached their eyes left that star 320-400 years ago.
-
- Of course, many will blame HAARP conspiracy and fail
to realize that the Cosmos no longer deems us a fit and worthy species.
Or it is time to remodel this neighborhood and either the tenants are evicted
or terminated as riff-raff that is in the way.
-
- That simple graphic could spell out the definition of
'bad day' here on Earth if we get a gamma ray burst from the Wolf
Rayet 104 star. It may well be spinning up to deliver Earth the aria and
the end of the soap opera. I often ponder that we are just sailing through
space on the Good Planet Lollipop clueless that our planet is sitting on
the verge of Cosmic Armageddon that not one, but three stars could deliver
to us as a death blow when they go Supernova.
-
- At least one of the stars, Betelgeuse, may well show
us what a Hypernova is like and they are even worse than a Supernova. Worse,
Betelgeuse is about 320-400 light years from Earth and that is way too
close if such a colossal star goes Supernova or Hypernova and Earth is
to receive the brunt of the force.
-
- If you are like me, in that everything happens for a
reason, we may have run out of time and excuses on Planet Earth that we
are a worthy species. There may be some cosmic time limit to pass the test
and get from 'Tier 5' to 'Tier 4 species' level. We may have already failed
the exam and will not be allowed to re-take the test or grade ourselves
on a gracious curve so we feel better about a pathetic performance spanning
thousands of years and billions dead by our own hands.
-
- There is one Holocaust that our species chooses to ignore.
That being the billions that have been murdered, slain and butchered by
our own hands due to ego, racism, greed, avarice, etc since we emerged
as the dominate species on this planet. That is on our resume but nobody
wants to recognize that we have a major programming flaw as a species.
-
- Additionally, the fact that we are an incredibly aggressive
and cruel species may be all that is needed to put us on the countdown
to extinction. We may be about to witness firsthand how the Cosmos deals
with hateful, cruel, aggressive, murderous species like Homo sapiens. Some
on this planet seem to think they are pretty damned special, but in the
bigger realm of realities such people are worthless. We are so damned smart
we have done exactly nothing about things that could really rain on our
nuthouse parade down here at the Earth Zoo.
-
- If current statistics hold true, about 90% to 95% of
the entire population of Earth will sit on their butts and wait for their
respective governments to provide a solution that no one can or will provide.
The type of plan that takes 25 to 100 years of focused effort to implement
just never got done.
-
- If I had to guess on what is headed at Earth, Antares
will blast our home planet with intense, potentially mutating and deadly
X-ray and UV energy levels that humans have never seen the likes of since
we have been in existence on this planet. Atmospheric radiation poisoning
is a possibility with any of these three stars going to Supernova, and
other types of damaging forces that can easily add up to 'we are screwed'.
-
- Those Global Warming zealots will have their global warming
faux-religion confirmed, but it still will not have anything to do with
burning fossils fuels or human activity on this planet. A burnt to a crisp
planet will certainly qualify as proof that global warming can occur and
rather rapidly. That group will be speechless and stumped that carbon dioxide
and mankind had nothing to do with it other than be unprepared as a species
to face it.
-
- Either star putting out a gravity wave or EMP at time
of detonation will push asteroids in directions that might be the start
of the end for Earth if the Supernova fails to end it quickly and mercifully.
-
- Due to a solar mass over 20 times our Sun, Betelgeuse
will be very likely to turn into a black hole and at that split second
could send a Gamma Ray Burst at our Solar System. If Hypernova and gamma
ray burst, it will be the worst day Earth has ever had if the GRB is aimed
at Earth. That will end all debate on whether or not we have intelligent
life in this part of the Universe.
-
- The betting odds question may well be whether Betelgeuse
or WR 104 nails our butts first, or one large planet-killing asteroid pushed
to head our way. We are so intelligent that we are somewhat akin to the
now extinct dodo bird just sitting around waiting for the club to the head.
No plan, not even a pretense of creating a valid plan. The need for an
Extinction Avoidance Plan might wake up the Sheeple or otherwise disrupt
the party and other asinine stupidity this planet excels in.
-
- There are not that many ways that a species such as Homo
sapiens can wind up extinct, but those few ways are extremely harsh and
extinct species never recover. In the 4 plus billion years Earth has had
life on it of some sort and description, not a single extinct species has
made a comeback. At least on our home planet, extinction and finality have
the same meaning. That probably holds true for the entire Universe, but
we seem to think we are special and somehow exempt from the realities of
living in this Cosmos.
-
- The first way to achieve the status of extinct might
be the emergence of a natural pathogen that kills all mammal life on this
planet. That is possible even if it evolves naturally in the environment.
We are already seeing the emergence of new and drug-resistant pathogens,
therefore there is no reason to assume that our planet's biodiversity might
not wind up being the end of our species. This possibility would fit the
Darwin version of evolution and survival of the fittest, but without human
mammals involved in the new hierarchy.
-
- The second way would be for one of our nitwit 'defense
contractor' scientists to create the ultimate biological weapon, and it
gets out of the laboratory. Instead of killing the enemy it considers all
of mankind the enemy. I think that would qualify as a major 'Oops!'
- With all of the tinkering going on and accidents and
carelessness in such labs under the pretense (lie) of counterterrorism,
this one might well happen sooner or later. This one would come under the
heading of self-inflicted extinction due to stupidity and prima facia evidence
that our 'plan' is flawed and has been all along.
-
- You see, we justify the massive defense expenditures
under the pretense of defending a nation, but what can be headed at Earth
is a global threat issue that could range from really bad day to total
extinction of life on this planet. For that, we have no plan at this time
but some are working on it.
-
- Russia has announced that they plan to build a spaceship
that could defend Earth from life extinguishing asteroid impacts. That
is a start, but the plan falls far short of being able to deal with what
else might be headed at the planet we are dependent on as home. It would
be an exercise in pointlessness to defend a dead planet that was destroyed
by a GRB, or Supernova, and what else such events can do to Earth. Asteroids
are just one of many problems we will get to face sooner or later.

-
- After one or more of these stars detonate as Supernovas,
we have major problems in our part of the Universe. Those major problems
could range from bad, to really bad to we are finished.
-
- Not a one of these political nitwits in any nation have
a clue or a plan of how to deal with defending this Planet Earth and Homo
sapiens from total annihilation. Multiple syllable words like annihilation,
species extinction and finality due to cosmic forces might not register
with most people on this planet. Such realities might interfere with the
TV surfing or looking for pornography on the Internet, or creating yet
another war based on lies or dreaming up another scam, another Ponzi-scheme,
etc.
-
- We might be invaded by a hostile species, but I do not
consider that much of a threat. It would probably have happened already
if there was much threat to this scenario. Most aliens that visit here
probably see that we are not fit to eat due to the crap we eat and the
pollution we have caused, we do not follow instructions worth a damn, many
are too ignorant to function, and we get along with virtually no one. Such
advanced beings could bring a pathogen to us that proves to be extinction-level
deadly, but it is probably more likely that they catch a disease on Earth
easier than them bringing one here to us. If they can reach Earth, their
medical system is probably much better than ours that can still be characterized
as barbaric. This particular scenario could best be described as shit happens.
-
- Should we really be surprised if some hostile alien species
decides to do what we have already done to our own kind throughout the
millennia? Would that really make them worse than us or just like us? I
already know that we would classify a species just like us as a 'terrorist!'
-
- The threat of nuclear war and nuclear winter aftermath
is real enough and would be self-inflicted. However, an asteroid just 20
kilometers wide at time of impact would generate more destructive force
than all of the thermonuclear weapons on this planet today.
-
- God's version of a Nuke is far more powerful than anything
we can create here on Earth. Whether a Supernova, with or without GRB accompaniment,
or a large asteroid impact, either are colossally more powerful than anything
mankind can build.
-
- If GRB, we are way out of our league and this planet
will go silent. No one will be left to worry about turning off the lights.
-
- If Earth gets hit with an asteroid the size of Texas,
or Alaska, or the Moon, you do not want to be here to see what that is
like. Our blue planet that is teaming with life would be a charred cinder
Dead Zone in quick fashion. It would be lights out permanently at the Earth
Zoo.
-
- Some have heard the term kinetic weapon, which was recently
used by NASA to bomb the Moon. Well, an asteroid is a kinetic weapon far
more powerful than all of the nuclear weapons on this planet now or at
any time in the future. Such are sort of God's version of a nuke and can
be planetary killers.
-
- We are pretty impotent as a species in truly defining
the word 'big' or the word 'powerful'. What God does is big and powerful,
what we do is about as piss-ant as an ant walking up the hind leg of an
elephant with rape on its mind. My grandfather told me that such an analogy
is a good way to define the word ludicrous. We Americans see plenty of
ludicrous from Washington, DC on a daily basis.
-
- Here we sit like the dodo birds we are just waiting for
extinction.
-
- As I was pondering the man's question due to the 'Might
Betelgeuse go Boom?' and 'Betelgeuse Calamitas Apocalyptica' articles,
I recalled a very interesting part of the Carl Sagan book 'Contact'.
-
- Even as I was considering how to respond to the reader
and his question, my thoughts went to parts from the book "Contact"
when Dr. Ellie Arroway (Jodie Foster in the movie) was talking to an advanced
being that had invited mankind to come see them. For those that did see
the movie they may recall that the 'super-saver airfare' for that hyper-relativity
trip was $2 trillion dollars. Mere chump change compared to the financial
graft, corruption and bailouts we have seen over the past two years to
complete liars and thieves that serve only to define the word greed.
-
- The book was much better than the movie. The movie 'Contact'
did not do the book 'Contact' justice other than in name. The book is the
best fiction novel I have ever read because it was based on real science
and things that are possible. It was also thought provoking in ways that
few books are.
-
- The following was in the book and should have been in
the movie.
-
- Dr. Arroway was asking why an inhabitant of Earth had
been invited to come see them. (The movie had one Earthling make the trip,
in the book it was 5 representatives of our species from the US, Russia,
China, India and Africa. The movie skipped over some very important content
that is in the book.)
-
- Start Insert:
-
- Advanced Being: "I said we admire loving-kindness."
-
- Arroway: "If the Nazis had taken over the world,
our world, and then developed interstellar spaceflight, wouldn't you have
stepped in?"
-
- (The initial visual image these beings received to see
what we look like was the 1936 Olympics television address by Adolf Hitler.
- Prior to that they only had radio signals from Earth
and were alarmed at the first video signal ever to originate from our planet.
They sent the video back to us so we knew that they had received it. Due
to the setting in the book, that was 26 light years to be received at the
star Vega and 26 light years to receive the notice of receipt back here
on Earth. Along with that they sent a message that was 47,000 pages of
how to build the machine to come see them, at a cost of $2 trillion.)
-
- Advanced Being: "You'd be surprised how rarely something
like that happens. In the long run, the aggressive civilizations destroy
themselves, almost always. It's their nature. They can't help it. In such
a case, our job would be to leave them alone. To make sure that no one
bothers them. To let them work out their destiny."
-
- [Key word: destiny. Later in the same conversation.]
-
- Arroway: "I want to know what you think of us,"
she said shortly, "what you really think."
-
- Advanced Being: He did not hesitate for a moment. "All
right, I think it's amazing that you've done as well as you have. You've
got hardly any theory of social organization, astonishingly backward economic
systems, no grasp of the machinery of historical prediction, and very little
knowledge about yourselves. Considering how fast your world is changing,
it's amazing you haven't blown yourselves to bits by now.
-
- That's why we don't want to write you off just yet. You
humans have a certain talent for adaptability-- at least in the short term."
-
- Arroway: "That's the issue, isn't it?"
-
- Advanced Being: "That's one issue. You can see that,
after a while, the civilizations with only short-term perspectives just
aren't around. They work out their destinies also."
-
- End Insert.
-
- Yes, dodo birds do work out their destiny.. also. Dr.
Ellie Arroway was talking to a '0 Tier species' that were literally re-engineering
galaxies and had been for hundreds of millions of years. They had gone
as far as they could but could not become God.
-
- Do we have a problem with being an aggressive species?
Absolutely yes, we do to the point we claim to be human but have far too
many that have not a clue what humane means. We just love to create enemies,
be racists and kill all in the name of greed and avarice.
-
- Some have no problems at all creating lies to justify
more killing and bloodshed to satisfy the greed and avarice of the elite
few that think they can lord life and death over the heads of everyone
on this planet. Our capacity and even lust for cruelty and inhumanity is
a major flaw that labels all of us expendable in the terms and conditions
of this Cosmos.
-
- We are not good neighbors even to our own kind. One can
well imagine how we would treat other species since it would be so easy
to pull out the racism card at alien non-humans and paint a picture with
lies any way the leaders choose.
-
- We cannot make peace happen on Earth, so yes, let's militarize
outer space and piss off ET and maybe even God. Many seem to be devolving
backwards out of civilization and reverting to barbarism and oh, yeah,
let's export that to outer space just like we have to Iraq and Afghanistan.
Let's see how many lies we can dream up to justify actions that are neither
excusable nor justifiable. There will be really big bucks to be made in
exporting our homegrown stupidity and hostility to other planets near and
far. We as a species prove every hour of every day that might does not
make right and we cannot evolve past being stupid and stuck-on-stupid at
'Tier 5 species'.
-
- What is truly amazing about the human species is we are
a predatory species that pretends and lives in the delusions that we are
not predatory. That may well be the greatest lie and delusion that we live
under on this planet. Too many on this planet are neither civilized nor
peaceful.
-
- Do we have a lack of a workable social organization?
That is been a problem on this planet as soon as one monkey-man figured
out a club makes a good weapon. There went the neighborhood when every
monkey-man decided that they needed to have a club, too.
