does khizr even know about this?

My son died for this country.

And like you, I watched Donald Trump’s latest attack on Gold Star families in horror.

While Donald Trump’s words are devastating, they’re not surprising.

Donald Trump can’t comprehend the sacrifice from our service members and families like mine.

Tom, I know the only way to stop Trump is to win a Democratic House.

I’d walk barefoot to every district in the country if it means Democrats win.

But I can’t do it alone. I need you fighting with me.

Will you chip in $1 before midnight

 
Thank you,

Khizr Khan


Included in this letter is a link to a page with Obama's face and a bunch of options as to how much money I want to give for this most holy cause, to stop Trump by winning the Democratic house.

I don't know about you but I'd like to see Khizr Khan not only walk barefoot to every district in the country, I'd like him to walk barefoot on broken glass and lemonade and tell me how he really feels when I sic my dog on him.  

The best thing about being a registered democrat is finding crap like this in my mailbox every day.

just a social observation

Has anyone noticed that antifa and SJWs have the most unappealing looking women?  I mean, woof...woof.  Unnatural colored hair and bad glasses are one thing but it's the soul that brings out the true ugliness of it all.

Back in the hippy days of free love, all you had to do was talk the talk and you got laid.  Nowadays, the best looking babes are lesbians.  Chicks look like guys and guys look like chicks and transgender is the new cool.  LGBTQ is adding new letters every day and, in many cases, being bi-sexual gives you the only chance of getting laid.  No wonder sexual ambivalence is on the upswing.  Sexual deviation Is the new norm.  It's all about "feelings" and common sense

has become politically incorrect.

When I look at these three specimens, all I can see is three things that have as much sex appeal as a ferret with a yeast infection.  SJWs seem to have a higher goal than an orgasmic moment, as it's all too apparent their plumage is screaming stay the fuck away.

It seems nature has a way of preventing the most undesirable of the species from reproduction.  Thank God for self inflicted grossosity. 

yin yang dichotomy

I've given much thought about the political left-right schism we've endured for the last two years and I'm just as baffled now as ever before.  But I think I'm making a little headway.

If you stand back and look at this scenario, not as groups of individuals but as two separate organisms, it starts to make sense.

yin:  Negative, moon, female.

yang:  Positive, sun, male.

Neither yin nor yang can exist without the other any more than you can hear the sound of one hand clapping.  Humanity is no exception.

yin:  Democrat.

yang:  Republican.

It seems something is out of whack with the social order.  If your tomatoes are rotting on the vine, consult a botanist.  If your car has an engine miss, see a mechanic.  If you can't get along with your spouse, see a marriage counselor.  If your best friend suddenly shows signs of progressive character distortion, take her to a psychiatrist.

I purposely used the pronoun "her" because the irrational social disruption, we're all witness to, seems to have all the earmarks of a menstruating female having a real bad day.  At the very least, an off-her-meds female with Borderline Personality Disorder.

Logic and reason doesn't work with this type of character and only feeds her already amplified anger.  She's bitching and ranting for reasons she can barely comprehend, let alone articulate.  By "she" I mean the politically left who choose to fight like a girl rather than negotiate like a man.  This dichotomy is punctuated by the fighting style of both groups.  One yells and screams and throws fits and breaks things while the other tries to figure out what's wrong and try to negotiate a settlement.  Even their hatred of white privilege extends to include only males... a telling clue that this whole leftist movement is essentially a gender war brought into focus by the only tools hysterical female character types can employ... lots of yelling, blaming, and zero accountability for their actions.     

Let me make this perfectly clear.  I'm not blaming women for our social ills.  I'm just pointing out the yin yang imbalance we're all going through.  Hollywood, the mainstream media, democrats, and the deep state have been on the rag for a year and a half bitching about how their queen bitch should be the president instead of the alpha male that got elected.
Can you imagine what life would be like if the queen of the harpies had her hands on the controls?  I imagine the US would eventually resemble Sweden with a large percentage of her population made up of middle eastern men with no-go zones, sanctuary cities, a stratospheric rape rate, and an over burdened welfare system.  Priority number one, ya gotta take care of the kids.  

17 of the 28 countries in the EU have had female presidents or heads of state.  Three of those had female secretaries of defense.  Hungary has the least amount of females in the government and it's the only country in the EU with a hurricane fence toped with razor wire around its perimeter to keep out the Middle Eastern migration.  Eastern Europe, with their collective female mindset of blind nurturing, are all too eager to bring in millions of brown skin men to replace the males that have been emasculated for decades and are no longer looked at as desirable.  It's no different from your girlfriend or wife bringing home a new guy to replace you because you just don't do it for her anymore.

Take a good look at antifa, BLM, and the hoard of Social Justice Warriors and the way they fight.  They yell, scream obscenities, throw piss bottles, get their friends to write letters to your boss to get you fired, set cars on fire, and file a PFA when you defend yourself.  Guys, if you ever had a fight with your psychotic ex-girlfriend, you know what I'm talking about.

I barely scratched the surface on this imbalanced yin yang dynamic but I think you catch my drift.  If not, I'll leave you with a thought that encapsulates my whole argument.

Imagine Hillary and Trump as your recently divorced parents fighting for the custody of the children.  The kids choose to go with dad, the judge gave the father full custody, and mom's blaming the kids, the judge, and her lawyer for losing the case.

Now, get in the kitchen and make me a sandwich.

I just had to share this. 

wine crystals

Back when we used to drink a lot of wine, the first thing we'd do after uncorking a bottle was look at the cork for crystals.  To us, that meant the wine was of a higher quality and worthy of our imbibing pleasures.  When we found crystals on the cork we'd always rinse the glasses before pouring and savor the nuances.  We were purists when it came to such things. 

For the past decade or so, the crowds I've been drinking with prefer their wine cold and sweet.  Something akin to Mogan David extra heavy Malaga wine on ice.  May as well buy Boons Farm, Night Train Express, or grape juice and vodka and save the good stuff for me.

I was clearing out bottles from my wine supply to make room for some good stuff.  I chose to ignore the syrupy, fruity, pear and blueberry flavored crap clogging up my wine rack and stick with the grape based stuff.  I figured I could distill that other stuff, if need be.

Last night, I uncorked a bottle of Ergo rioja and was pleasantly surprised to find the nicest cork crystals I've ever seen.
 

These tartrate crystals are formed when a method called cold stabilization is performed on a wine. Cold stabilization is often done in white wines to remove excess potassium bitartrate, a natural substance found in grapes also known as "cream of tartar."  White grapes contain fairly large amounts of potassium bitartrate. If most of it is not removed, the wine will form crystals when placed in the refrigerator. These tartrate crystals will either cling to the underside of the cork, if the bottle is on its side, or fall to the bottom of the bottle, if it's standing up, where they appear to be ground glass to the uneducated eye.

To remove excess potassium bitartrate before bottling, the wine is placed in a stainless steel tank and its temperature dropped to about 30 degrees F. The wine is held at that temperature for a period of approximately 2-3 weeks. Excess potassium bitartrate will then crystallize and drop to the bottom of the tank where it is removed either by filtration or by pumping the wine out of the tank until the hose is just above the bottom where the crystals have formed. The "cold stabilized" wine is then bottled. Some wineries prefer to skip this step, feeling that the process detracts from the wine's flavor and nuance. Having the tartaric crystals appear in the wine means nothing more than it was not cold treated and, thus, may be of higher quality.

I find it interesting that the best quality wine was disliked the most by everyone who much preferred the cheap chardonnay with an ice cube.  Everyone but me, that is.  I loved it.

I'll have to keep this brand in mind when I restock.

        

goolag

I'm in the process of de-googleizing myself for my own piece of mind.  With the plethora of search engines and browsers available, it's lazy insanity to continue using Firefox and Google as my only choices, especially in light of the Orwellian methods these companies use to track my every internet movement.  In case you're interested, I'm using Pale Moon for my browser and anything but Google for my search engine.  

A simple search for "socks" on Amazon, for example, could get you tons of sock ads on every page you go to, including your mailbox.  On the surface it looks like Google is going out of their way to assist you in finding exactly what you're looking for.  The reality is, YOU ARE THE PRODUCT.  You can use ad blocker to get rid of the ads but that only makes you less aware, like not seeing the stalker following you home.

Listen to Black Pigeon Speaks.  This guy knows what he's talking about.   

fighting irma

When I saw Irma had begun to quickly dissipate after trashing Florida, I wondered how many other people were training their cloudbusters, sky cleaners, and radionic devices on this storm in order to neutralize it.  I can name three in Florida alone. 

As I mentioned earlier, Florida is designed to handle weather like this but states farther north aren't.  My intention was to disintegrate Irma before she turned the eastern seaboard into Houston.

I figured a little extra might be needed so I set the PVC CB to south south-west.  This was around noon.  By 6 pm I saw some interesting changes to the rain mass as it headed north.

The screenshot to the left shows what's left of Irma as it approaches Pennsylvania.  Note how the storm seems to go around Harrisburg as it heads north east.

I've seen this pattern before when hurricane Sandy stopped by for a visit and did an end run around this area and hit NYC.
 
That valley in the storm is in a direct line where my PVC CB is pointed from my Poconos perch.  I expect we won't get any more than a gentle rain, if anything at all.
Coincidence?  If it happened once or twice I might agree but this sort of interference happens every time I fire up the PVC CB.  I think that kind of average goes along with repeating the experiment with positive conclusions. 

Just like Sandy, Harvey, and Katrina, Irma was a man made storm.  The US government has hundreds of patents on controlling the weather, not to make life more pleasant but to weaponize the weather to lay waste to areas on the globe that annoy the powers that be, using plausible deniability as their defense.    

What makes you think the government can't or won't control the weather just to mix things up a bit?  I do and I don't know near as much as those guys.  Only I won't flatten a state just for shits and grins.

orgonite irma

Looks like Irma just got to cat 5 stage and it's going to make a mess out of things.  Hitting Florida is no big deal.  It's like Florida is designed for hurricanes but farther north, it isn't.  All those mountains funnel the rain into the valleys where towns are located, magnifying the destruction.  New York City and New Jersey... That's a different scenario altogether.  Remember Sandy?  This one coming is way lots bigger.

That's why I thought it would be a good idea to fire up the mofo and see if a good intention could steer Irma away from populated areas.

 Inside the mofo is a modified orgone accumulator cone with a 3" double terminated citrine crystal in the pipe.  The pyramid is made of copper rods a half sacred cubit in length with a tensor generator in the PVC, toped with a half sacred cubit tensor ring.  The frequency is set at 432Hz., square wave.

No amplification on this device but it's still putting out a nice energy.  We'll see how it goes and switch frequencies to 8Hz if I don't see anything dramatic in the next few days.

The intent is for Irma to go back to where it came from and fizzle out.

I'll be keeping an eye on this one.   

the wine with no name

I just wanted to make a basic table wine.  Nothing fancy.  Just a low key red wine made from the cheapest ingredients I could acquire.  I found what I needed at the supermarket in the frozen concentrated grape juice section at a cost of five cans for four dollars.  Eight dollars got me enough juice to ferment six gallons of wine and two bucks more got me the EC-1118 yeast.

I added a couple lbs of sugar to get things going which brings the initial cost up to a whopping 14 bucks for two cases of wine.  Not bad.

To my way of thinking, if this stuff turns out to be crap I'll just run it through the still for some cheap brandy.  Two cases of wine or a gallon and a half of brandy is all the same to me.  I changed my attitude when I tasted the finished product. 

I wanted to make something with relatively low alcohol that didn't require distilling or a huge amount of work.  Not being much of a beer drinker and hard liquor was beginning to lose its luster, my appetites were becoming increasingly whetted with thoughts of drinking regional Italian wines on the shores of Lake Garda.  I wanted wine made by generations of indigenous Italian winemakers who take pride in producing the best wines, with no intentions to export.  You know... the stuff you'll never find in a liquor store because they keep it for themselves.

Ordinarily, making wine from frozen concentrated grape juice would produce something that tastes like Welch's grape juice with a little vodka.  To avoid this, I added some heavy toast Hungarian oak for a month after it stopped fermenting.  That made all the difference.  It actually tastes like it was aging in an oak barrel for a few years, completely eliminating that disgusting kids drink flavor and imparting some rather complex flavor notes.     

Much to my surprise, everyone who tasted this wine loved it.  Even the die hard beer drinkers who won't drink anything but their brand of beer, no matter how free it is, quaffed tumblers of this stuff. 

I have to admit, for a no name wine that I never considered worthy of a seal or label, I found myself wanting to give this wine some kind of identification.

Ok, so I gave it a label but I refused to include any pictures, illustrations, or pastels to indicate anything more than what it is and what I intended it to be.  A simple no name wine.

Ya like it?

kombucha scoby

I don't know how much you know about kombucha tea but I'll bet it's as much as I knew about it last month.  Before that, I thought it was something that had to do with a mushroom.  I was just as wrong about kombucha then as I am about most things now and I'm proud to tell you I made my first batch of kombucha tea.

From the first taste, I was hooked.  Doubly so when I learned how good this was for you.  I had to make it.

Long story short.  I made it.  If you want the details, just ask.  I won't bore you with details and pictures of the various stages, like I was showing you pictures of my kids cutting their first teeth.

Oh, what the hell.  I'll show you a pic of my first SCOBY.  It;s hard to believe you can get such wonderful kombucha from such an alien looking thing.

a new column

I've been collecting parts for a new still column for a while.  Most parts came from my box of copper scraps but it was the 3/4" union, NPT adapter, and thermometer that I needed to turn my spare parts into what you see on the left.

The plan called for a 2" by 12" column pipe but I saw no need to keep a 4 inch piece of 2" copper pipe in my scrap box so it's a little taller than planed.  The 12" was just a guideline, anyway.  The important part is the 3/4" union that allows adjustment of the lyne arm coming from the column.  With this design I can include an eight foot horizontal lyne arm going to the condenser, or a vertical connection to the thumper, like the one pictured.  The angle of the lyne arm is crucial for flavor.  Horizontal will give you higher proof and less flavor, vertical will give more flavor and less proof.  Most rigs on the market have the lyne arm at a 45 degree angle for the best of both worlds.  This system is fully adjustable and for this application I chose vertical to include the thumper for maximum effect.

The addition of a thermometer is a luxury and a much needed tool.  In my previous setup I had to guess what the column temperature was by the sound of the marbles in the kettle.  Now I know the marbles start making noise around 105 degrees.  Since different alcohols vaporize at different temps, a thermometer comes in handy for making the cuts.  I should have a thermometer on the thumper, as well, to regulate the final product.  All in good time.

Before this run, I distilled a few gallons of water as a trial run and to clean out the pipes, I managed to bring down the total dissolved solids of the well water from 37 to 2.  Not bad.  Even better, it showed the system is tight and leak-proof and ready for anything.

I ran a rum wash to compare to previous runs, to see if any of these improvements would make any difference.  In my humble opinion, they sure as hell did.  After the first 150ml, which I tossed, the first jar came out 156 proof with a distinct molasses flavor.  Ordinarily, I would set this jar aside because of high alcohol and lack of flavor.  In this case, the flavor came through, as did the rest of the run.  As the temp rose close to 210F and the proof slowly dropped, I stopped collecting the good stuff at 110 proof and saved the last bit for recycling.  I managed to get a gallon of the tastiest 136 proof rum I ever made.  All it needs now is proofing it to 80 and whatever flavor I desire.

Analysis:  The shorter column hight and vertical drop to the thumper reduced any reflux that a taller column would produce, trading off proof for flavor.

The thumper acted as a secondary distill, eliminating potential off flavors and maintaining a consistent run.

The thermometer placed at the top of the column allowed me to maintain a consistent 195 - 200 degrees for the outgoing vapor.  Since ethanol vaporizes at 174 degrees, keeping it hotter carried more impurities in the form of flavor.

Once the temp reached 205 I detected a faint smell of tails, indicating I was reaching the end of the run.  The accuracy was spot on and the only unusable stuff was the very last jar that developed a slightly opaque look, indicating the presence of water and fusals.  This will go in the thumper on the next run.  A few gallons of dunder left in the boiler will be added to the next rum wash to improve flavor.

Now that the rum is out of the way, I can run that barley corn mash I've been sitting on.

I'll keep ya posted.

       

      

        

orgone wand

staff update

After working with the orgone staff for a few days, I kept thinking how I can prove this unit works.  Granted, the staff has to acclimate itself to me and the Earth but I thought three days was enough so I went on the back porch and tried a few things.

In the dim light of the back porch, I held the top orb of the staff to the dark ceiling with the bottom tip grounded, as I stared at the orb in a meditative state.

I trained my eyes on the staff orb and saw what I thought was hundreds of gnats in the background, followed by wisps of what looked like smoke oozing from the orb in all directions.  There was also this discharge from between the paracord wrap, about one inch below the base of the orb.  This was the exact place on the staff where a crystal was inserted.  According to all data I have on shapes in relation to energy discharge from orgonite, an orgone orb emits energy omni-directional and what I saw proves it.

A little background.  Back at the farm, I would meditate as I looked out over the meadow and focused on a spot in the woods. When I reached "the state" I could see a mist over the meadow, drifting left, toward the pond.  I could feel a breeze drifting to the right, away from the pond, as this was happening.  Whatever I was seeing wasn't obeying the laws of physics.  It was drifting against the wind like it wasn't there.  I taught this technique to a half dozen people who saw the same thing.  Being skeptical, I viewed this meadow from several different locations and all of them showed this invisible mist drifting against the breeze. 

There's a reality that runs parallel to this that doesn't obey the laws of physics.  You can see it if you train your eyes to see it.  I saw this mist enveloping the staff orb on July 10th, no matter how much I told myself it was more illusion than reality.

What I want to know is, what's the relationship between the meadow and the staff?

 

        

mobius coil wand

Not satisfied with the orgone mini-wand, I set out to build something a little more traditional looking but as effective as I could get, without going too organic.  What I came up with is the amethyst wand you see to your left.  The half inch copper pipe is stuffed with nine amethyst crystals in a simple matrix of resin, brass dust, and lots of catalyst to set up fast.  The end has a copper 3/4"x1/2" reducer to accommodate the larger amethyst crystal and smaller DT quarts crystal.

After building this unit, I noticed the balance was all wrong and needed something like a pommel to center the balance of gravity.  I suppose it would've been too easy to fill a capped, larger pipe with resin and shove in the back end.  Fact is, the thought never entered my head until now.  In hindsight, that would have been the preferred method I should have taken.  As we all know, hindsight is always 20/20.

Instead of simplicity, I was pre-occupied with graduated copper cylinders that fit inside each other, ala Joe Cell.  I had all the parts in raw form.  It was just a matter of putting it all together.  I found there was just enough room around each pipe to accommodate a single wrap mobius coil from a strand of cat 5 wire.  If I wrapped a coil around the end of the wand and another around a 3/4" copper pipe, I could fit one over the other and a 1" copper pipe over that.  The result would be three copper pipes inside each other separated by insulated copper mobius cable in a zero point energy fashion, similar to a Joe Cell.

Oh Hell yeah!  That was so much easier than filling a tube with resin... NOT.  Let me tell you, it was a giant pain in my ass to build this thing.  It's not just fitting mobius cabled tubes inside each other.  There's connecting the wires that make it work.  Somehow, I had to complete the Joe Cell circuit by connecting the two mobius coils and the inner and outer pipes to the mobius leads to complete the circuit.  The mass is too great to use a soldering iron and a torch will incinerate the insulation on the wire.  Soldering the two coil wires together was easy but copper pipes are just heat sinks.  It seems aluminum tape is conductive, so I made a conductive ribbon to make an electrical contact with aluminum tape to secure it without heat.  Pure genius! 

The only place to ground the 1" tube was the cap.  I hot glued a heddeka on the end to cover the aluminum tape.  Not really happy with it, I might swap it out for a suitable stone to complete the pommel.

How does it work?  This is all theory but the coils and tubes at the end are a reasonably closed circuit, meaning there is no direct connection between the first and third tubes but the gap allows a zero point jump, accelerated by the coils.  It's the same principle I use on the PVC CB where there's a gap between cone and pipe.  Or, in automotive terms, the gap on a spark plug that makes it fire.  The separation of the tubes, with the mobius cable as insulation, makes it happen.  This pommel stimulates the rest of the wand, packed with metal, resin, and crystals, to a higher degree than just the wand alone. 

It certainly improved the performance of this wand.  Without the pommel, you could feel a slight something.  More than orgonite and less than a field generator.  The complete unit, by comparison, is night and day.  I can feel the tingle a good five inches from the crystal.  For me, that's damn good for a passive device.  There doesn't seem to be any energy discharge other than the crystal on the end, making this unit perfectly directional.  The discharge all comes thorough the end crystal.  You point it and it works.  A tool like this would be excellent to organize an aura.  It's uses may be limited to what the amethyst is capable of.  Among other things, amethyst protects it's owner from drunkenness.  It also brings forth the highest aspirations of human kind, so I guess it's not all bad.

The world is full of different stones and crystals.  Pick one you resonate with for the purpose you want.  Maybe an all purpose wand with detachable ends could be an option.

As far as the feel... There's some weight to it but not too much.  Perfectly balanced and with a paracord wrap it feels real good in my hand.  I might make a few more of these, if the spirit moves me.  The length is exactly elbow to fingertip, proper dimensions for a traditional wand.  This won't make you fly but it could let you soar.

I'll keep ya posted on this one.
