2012 is here and it seems the whole world is gearing up for... something. Hell, I've been gearing up for quite a while by stocking up on food, fuel, silver, guns, ammo, drugs, alcohol and anything else that could be used as survival necessities when the engine of the world finally stops and we begin killing each other for things we now throw away.
So, I decided it's time to go underground and relocate to an undisclosed location. The problem is all the stuff I've accumulated through the years that I have to unload. Stuff like my collection of beta tapes, PDRs, first edition books, lava lamps, power tools, and a hundred other categories of detritus I've picked up over time that I no longer have use for. It's all just stuff and no longer has any value to me.
Rather than try to sell anything, I decided to give it all away. (it's a karma thing) Needless to say, between three floors of a house and a two floor garage I have a shit load of stuff from bamboo bongs and bota bags to acetylene torches and VW parts and everything in between.
I'm even unloading my first and only orgone accumulator. In case you're unaware of what an orgone accumulator is, it's a medical device designed by Wilhelm Reich for the purpose of curing a plethora of diseases by bombarding the whole body in life-force energy generated by it's construction of organic and non-organic laminations.
At any rate... if you want it, come and get it.
BTW, how often do you see FREE on a price tag?

god given rights
On December 31, 2012 Barry Obama signed into law NDAA or National Defense Authorization Act.
I've been asking people what they know about it and what it entails and to my shock and horror, no one seems to know anything about it.
It was front page news January 1. Every major newspaper covered it but no one I talked to had a clue. I should think the elimination of the Bill of Rights might be something the masses might think was an important event but it seemed to fly over everyone's head. When I asked a coworker about it, she didn't have a clue about the signing, let alone what the Bill of Rights was all about. When I told her the military can now arrest American citizens without charge and whisk them off to a foreign country to be tortured without so much as a phone call to their lawyer, all she said was, if you don't do anything wrong you have nothing to worry about.
Is this what we've come to? A nation of apathetic boobs not only completely unaware of what we lost but what rights we had? Have we become so complacent that we blindly accept any law no matter how many freedoms we lose? Are we even aware we have any freedoms? Have Americans completely given up the right to fight or even complain?
This bill was passed by both houses of congress, with bipartisan support, and finalized by Obama in Hawaii while the main stream media were quaffing unlimited amounts of champagne to celebrate the new year. Did congress read this before signing off? Do these guys represent us or someone else? Who is this someone else? Why are these bastards in congress so eager to eliminate the constitution they swore to uphold and defend? If this were to happen 200 years ago, the president and everyone in congress who voted for this bill would be hanged for treason. Today, everyone on the presidential campaign trail voted for it except RON PAUL and it's not even brought up.
Listen... the constitution is a contract between the American people and the federal government that spells out what the government can do and what it can't do. The Bill of Rights spells out, specifically, what those rights are. Our founding fathers considered these rights as God given rights. Governments can't take those rights away because governments never granted them. They are God given rights and, as far as I know, God hasn't given up on humanity.
Or maybe he has.

democracy. aint it cool?
Democracy seems to be one of those words that strike a chord in Americans like patriot, freedom, and liberty. I think it was Ben Franklin who said, democracy is great until the people realize they can use it to rob the treasury. I'm paraphrasing here but the concept is correct.
What we have going is democracy in action. The 51 percent have decided they don't want to pay taxes so the remaining 49 percent will. The 51 percent consist of the lowest levels of our society as well as the upper 20 percent. Big business and the independently wealthy all have lawyers and accountants working out angles and loopholes to avoid taxes. The lowest levels of our society don't have to pay taxes and have free money given to them. Congress? They don't pay taxes of any kind and retire on whatever salary they'd get if they stayed in congress, regardless if they were at retirement age or not. And they can still get another government job and pension that pays them, along with any other government pension, as long as they live, as well as any other package they got along the way. Sure beats social security.
With all these people getting a free ride, it's up to Joe Blow tax payer to foot the bill for these deadbeats to keep the system going. The middle class, who just so happens to be anyone dumb enough to allow their employer to take money out of their paycheck, foots the bills the poor and wealthy don't want to pay.
Is that about it? Is that a good interpretation of democracy? Sounds more like socialism to me.
From each according to his ability, to each according to his need?
This explains why all those bankers, financial institutions, and major corporations got all that bailout money. They needed it and congress, as acting representatives for the working class, had the ability to give it to them. And why not? Congress has been feeding from the taxpayer trough for so long they feel entitled to perpetually satisfy their gargantuan needs, so it's only natural they feel a special kinship for these high end parasites and are more than happy to give away someone elses farm. Our representative form of government created this caste system of congressional need that's constantly satisfied by proxy. The Federal Reserve, a private corporation owned and run by international bankers and as much a part of the federal government as Federal Express, got on-board and created trillions of dollars out of thin air for the largest banks in Europe without so much as a nod from congress. No wonder that bunch in The White House are so eager to give social security benefits to illegal aliens.
Not to worry. The working class can handle it.... as long as we're still able.
Next time you hear a politician say democracy, substitute socialism and the words take on a different meaning.

stereo field generator
I built this field generator last summer to see if two mobius coils in a device is better than one and to see if there were any differences between a conventional counter-clockwise twisted coil and a perfect duplicate wound in a clockwise fashion. Since they were both in the same resin matrix and differed only in the direction the wire was twisted, they should both act the same.
I was a bit shocked when tests showed the conventional counter-clockwise twisted mobius out performed it's doppelganger. Common sense tells you it shouldn't make any difference which direction the wire is bent as long as the geometry is the same. They should operate exactly the same but there's something here I couldn't wrap my mind around so I shelved this project and moved on to something bigger and more powerful.
On my way into town I thought about the two channel mp3 player powering up my single channel field generator and wondered how much better it could run on stereo. Then it hit me. I've been using stereo leads and connectors and only using one channel for the mono mobius. I wondered if I could run separate channels through a field generator with two built in mobius coils. Seems last summer's failure might come in useful for another experiment so I headed to Radio Shack with a new parts list in mind.
I learned long ago that Radio Shack clerks are useless when it comes to parts and projects but they always ask what I'm building and when I tell them I can see their faces morph into this slack jawed retard look that reminds me of my high school field trip to Danville State Mental Hospital. I was talking out loud to The Shack's most seasoned employee about how I can use this splitter and plug it into some female connectors on each mobius, one for each channel, to allow the stereo to resonate and increase it's efficiency. Reducing any stereo signal to a mono signal will always lose something in the translation and this should turn a regular field generator into a brainwave entrainment device. I barely noticed the clerk when he told me what I just said was all Greek to him. He then added he wasn't ashamed to admit it, either. Sigh.......
I hooked my new stuff up to my dual mobius coil field generator and fired it up with a small mp3 player and the results were interesting, to say the least. I could feel energy patterns more complex than before, despite the severally inferior secondary mobius.
The stereo Solfeggio tones running through this device are translated to energy waves you can feel, very much like the vibration you can feel in front of a speaker.
Question... Do you have to hear to benefit from sound waves? Can deaf people benefit from brain entrainment?

morning epiphany
I had an epiphany today. As I was enjoying my shower and listening to news on the radio about the front running candidates vying for the presidential republican seat and their respective plans to fix everything that's wrong with the world, a thought came to me that could do just that with no more effort than a stroke of the presidential pen.
Illegal immigration, the national debt, high unemployment, and over population are four of the biggies besetting our boys in Washington and I think I found a quick fix for all of that and we might actually be better off than letting congress dream up something more toxic.
This is so simple I'm amazed no one's thought of it before. All Uncle Sam needs to do is grant citizenship to any illegal immigrant who pays a citizenship fee of $10,000. 10k times the estimated 20 million illegals in this country and you got some serious coinage filling the government coffers. No doubt, many illegals will refuse to shell out 10k to stay. Sure, 10 grand is a lot of money for a legit social security number but, looking at it from a different angle, it's equivalent to the average annual federal tax a legal U.S. citizen pays just to keep the IRS from knocking on their door. By shelling out 10k, an illegal can emerge from the shadows and join the mainstream job market like everyone else and hold their heads up high as they hand that payroll check to the bank teller for some honest-to-goodness greenbacks sanctioned by the federal reserve to spend like free men.
Of course, there are always choices. This is the land of the free and the U.S. government would have a contingency plan for anyone who refuses to buy their citizenship. Any illegal who can't or won't pay the 10k fee will have a choice of three options. Deportation, garnishment, or slavery.
Deportation means just what it says. Repeat border-crossers will require being chipped so our intelligence networks can track their movements from outer space to make sure they stay where they're sent. Garnishment means the 10k will be deducted from their pay checks, plus interest. If they're working illegally, their employer will be responsible for payment. Slavery.... perhaps indentured servitude might be a more appropriate term. Illegals can work off their 10 grand debt by working for honest, tax-paying citizens who will provide food, clothing, and shelter in exchange for all those chores most folks would rather not do. Chores like mowing the lawn, cleaning the pool, pulling weeds, taking the kids to soccer practice, cleaning the garage, doing laundry, etc. In some cases, getting a part time job that direct deposits the paycheck in the patron's account. Factories can use indentured servants to offset the low wages of Chinese labor and save even more by cutting all that cost for transportation. After a set period of time, determined by the patrons in an iron clad contract, the indentured servant can earn citizenship and freedom if they satisfy all conditions of the contract.
These rules go for everyone including anchor babies and drug lords.
Subsequently, since each illegal born will cost another 10,000 bucks, the newly legal work force will reduce their population growth to tolerable levels, thus reducing the welfare burden.
Now, isn't this a better idea than Obama's amnesty plan?

portable PVC CB modification
I'm a tinkerer, not a mechanical engineer, so coming up with a low cost, full sweep, modified, satellite dish cb that can be set up quickly, in any terrain, took some thought before I settled on being simple about it.
The platform is 3/4" plywood with four 2x4's radiating out to make this unit as stable as possible. The low profile of the dish, field generator, and pipe give it a low center of gravity, preventing tip over from strong winds or clumsy people. The dish, field generator, and PVC pipe is a single unit and the legs are held on by wing nuts. No tools required for assembly. The base, ring generator, and big pipe are shellacked as an organic layer and protective coating. Looks pretty cool, too.
The field generator is has a few improvements. Hell, every field generator I build has a few improvements and this one is four generations beyond the one I'm now using. I'm not satisfied with just grinding out cookie cutter field generators and orgonite using the same formula, the same way, as if I was producing assembly line, mass produced crap for the masses. These units aren't just functional works of art. Each unit has distinct improvements from the previous model, which was an improvement from the one before. I'm satisfied this unit rocks better than anything I made before in ways I didn't expect.
A friend of mine uses sand as the primary ingredient in his orgonite with powdered aluminum and just enough resin to hold it together. Since sand is primarily crushed quartz, compressing it with resin and powdered metals should be enough to produce very strong orgonite. And it does because sand IS quartz, and his orgonite is not only incredible but the lowest in cost.
So, the secondary density in this field generator has six handfuls of play sand and two teaspoons of powdered aluminum per quart of resin. By comparison, the inner density that contains the mobius is powdered copper and iron oxide in a very dense mixture. The result is a 28 lb powered field generator with a secondary density powerful enough to run in passive mode. The torus shape concentrates and directs the energy output far more efficiently than a basic CB three times it's mass. Introducing frequency is just icing on the cake to this stand-alone orgone generator.
The test consisted of pointing it south and powering it up with 14Hz for one day and letting it run in passive mode for six more days.
The weather for that week was sunshine, blue skies, gentle breezes, and not a drop of rain in sight. Rather impressive, considering we've had more rain than any place in North America since spring.
I figure if it can cure a rainy day in Pennsylvania it can easily blow away those pesky low level surf clouds that make west coast tanning such a chore.
I wonder if Al Gore would approve?

does anyone use tools anymore?
Cell phones aren't designed to hold up to abuse. Almost everyone I know gets a new phone every couple of months, in part, because of planned obsolescence, engineered fragility, and the endless thirst for more whistles and bells. Phones are now boredom killing, communication pocket pals that makes Spock's tricorder look primitive by comparison.
Well, my cheap, thirty dollar, pay-as-you-go, minimalistic burner hit the concrete once too often, resulting in a handful of parts that didn't light up any more. It's not the loss of the phone that bothered me but losing all those contacts is a real bitch, especially when you don't have a backup. I figured the phone I found after a party might be useful so I switched chips only to find my chip was incompatible with with this phone. After a few inquiries I learned the sim card and chipset are married and the service I had wouldn't retrieve my contacts.
Well, that sucks!
I don't give up that easily and decided to try and fix it just enough to retrieve my contacts. Considering these things are mass produced by machines in automated Chinese factories with an expected lifespan of a Bic lighter and a price tag equivalent to the minutes it comes with, it stands to reason a cell phone repair business is a less than adequate career choice. I figured, nothing ventured, nothing gained and got my jewelers glass and the smallest tools I could find to perform micro-surgery on a throw away phone most people wouldn't bother with at 20 times the price.
Maybe that's what's wrong with society today. We all know we spend tons of money on crap that will eventually break but we buy it anyway and immediately replace it when it breaks and never consider repair as an option because we don't have the time, knowledge, abilities, intelligence, or patience to do much more than buy some other limited lifespan gizmo with even more colored lights and cool sounds.
I understand the whole thing about how making crap that breaks is good for the economy but do we have to lose critical thinking and the ability to use simple hand tools as a trade off? Can't someone build an automated phone factory some place besides China? It doesn't have to be a big factory and you won't need people to make the phones. What's a cell phone cost? A couple hundred bucks? Parts cost pennies and machines work day and night. You'd think someone out there might give this idea a go if not for any other reason but bragging rights as the only place that makes phones in the U.S.A. What ever happened to that pioneering spirit? I can't believe we have a nation of 300 million people fixated on buying cell phones from an automated factory on the other side of the world without questioning why it's ok for China to have the monopoly on cell phone manufacture, as well as everything else. Seems a lot of people piss and moan about it and that's about it.
Anyway, using a micro phillips, tweezers, and a jewelers glass I tore two phones down to their smallest parts and cobbled together one working cell with my contacts still intact. Of course, the phone I used for parts is now totally scrap but I only kept it around just in case the remote possibility of this type of situation might occur. Besides, the jerk who left it here deserved an asshole tax, at the very least.
Don't ya love it when things go positive full circle?
Thanks, Dave.
