☆ New Cesium Clock May Make People More Punctual?

News Analysis: Installed in Boulder, Colorado, U.S.A., is a National Institute Of Standards and Technology, Cesium “Atomic” Clock. The Clock measures the frequency of 9.1 Billion Vibrations a Second of the Caesium Atom in its internal Transition. This new Clock is maintained at a temperature of approximately -193 degrees Celsius ( -315.4 degrees Fahrenheit). Background radiation is lessened, thus reducing an impediment to accuracy of such a clock. Accuracy is to One Second Per 300 Million Years!

Perhaps Comedians, in their monologues, will hypothesize: “The New Cesium Clock May Make People More Punctual?”

One thing that is said by International Businessmen is: “Tardiness is Rudeness”. To this statement we add: ‘Time is Money’ (Let Others Squander it, Not Us). We do not care to deal with such Profligate Persons, even with something so basic as TIME (an ‘Item’ that is Absolutely Irreplaceable).

Reality.

☆ Afghanistan: The “Treasure Trove” Foreign Bankers Want To Own

News Analysis: Elections being held throughout Afghanistan will create new Leadership in this spectacularly Natural Resource Rich Country. In fact, many International Businessmen declare it as ” Afghanistan: The “Treasure Trove” Foreign Bankers Want To Own”.

Perhaps the Super Power with the greatest desire for control of the country has been America, many people think. The current White House Regime however has not gotten along with the Leader(s) of Afghanistan. Since the current President of the United States inherited America’s Military Control interest in Afghanistan from his predecessor, relationships between the two Countries have been much more disparate. The U.S. President was an ‘International Relations Amateur With Naïve Advisers’ dealing with a “Plutocrat” who knew what Wealth he and the Afghan People have under their very feet” Global Businessmen say.

The Current approximately 516,000 Acres of Poppies growing in Afghanistan today, and protected by the U.S. Military (via the Current U.S. President’s wishes) , are a FORTY-FOLD increase in Crop Growth since 2001 International Drug Agencies declare.  Many people wonder why He does not order the Poppy Fields eradicated; a good question, for derivative Heroin is a Menace to Humanity. He instead lets crops of Poppies flourish “under his watch”. A much more interesting question is why the U.S. Mass Media mention Next to Nothing about this Heroin Production situation tolerated BY THEIR PRESIDENT. One can only guess as to how many “Journalists” and Others are being Purchased For Their Silence (and Cooperation).

As financially rewarding as this whole Poppy/Heroin Miasm is, it is “Small Potatoes” compared to the Natural Resource Wealth of Afghanistan. To enumerate some of the assets of this Country: Barite, Chromium, Copper, Gemstones (Aquamarine, Emerald, Garnet, Kunzite, Lapis Lazuli, Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Topaz, and Tourmaline) Gold, Iron Ore, Lead, Lithium, Marble, Natural Gas, Petroleum, and Zinc.  The Assets enumerated are in large quantities in the main.

Since we know that the only Real Winners in War are the Bankers, in Afghanistan, their Avarice will drive they and their Lackeys to do ANYTHING they can to control this Country’s Natural Resource Wealth; repeat ANYTHING.

Hopefully, the new Regime that takes over Afghanistan following the immediate elections will be of the persuasion that “Afghanistan’s Natural Resources Are For The Benefit Of The Afghan People” NOT for Foreign Bankers and their Associates.

Reality.

☆ Greece: Does Washington, D.C. Care About Super-Power Financial Harm To A Weakened Friend’s Economy?

News Analysis: “Greece: Does Washington, D.C. Care About Super-Power Financial Harm To A Weakened Friend’s Economy?” so ask many Hellenic Citizens when they evaluate Economic Sanctions Against Russia.

In America, Greek-Americans, who are overwhelmingly members of the Democratic Party, often exhibit Myopia when it comes to the current Political Regime’s actions Internationally. For example, the VERY POOR relationship that now exists by America with Egypt or Libya, Greece’s friends across the Sea, does not aid Greece economically.  

The ENTIRE LEVANT appears to have at best “Tepid” relations with America; although they are still ‘Warm’ to Greece. This Administration’s inability to help solve the Cyprus Division shows it is effete; ‘a “Super-Power”?’ some people ask.

It would seem that the Economic Interests of the European Union (EU) would be best served by Extensive Communication and Cooperation with Russia. The well-known Cabal, which toppled the Ukrainian Government, was so naively operated by America and the ‘EU’ to be laughable; Telephone recordings of the Plot by U.S. Officials were aired to the World? Amateurs at Best!

Greek-Americans should use their ‘εγκεφάλους’ and realize “The Blind following the Blind accomplishes little”. If they care for ‘Hellas’ they should decry that which harms it; Russia Sanctioned does hurt Greece.

The current Washington’s Regime blunders in the Mediterranean Area as well as the Middle East, with our Arab Friends, shows very poor Leadership in America. “Ostrich Behavior” by Greek-Americans in tolerating such Administration Gaffes is remarkable for a Nationality supposedly known for its past Genius.

Telling Politicians in Washington, D.C. about Economic Sanctions against Russia should contain one word: “όχι”; This they may understand since it has fewer letters than “Μάλιστα”.

☆ “Death Before Dishonor” Is Evidenced In Nature

News Analysis: “Death Before Dishonor” Is Evidenced In Nature by the Instinctive Behavior of the tiny Cub against the four Lionesses in Botswana. The fact that ultimately it perished to these “Giants” is no surprise; such is Life.

The admirable aspect of the Cub’s behavior is that: IT NEVER SURRENDERED! Once a Cub or Person surrenders, his or her FATE IS SEALED. Better, one may argue, is to let the Aggressor(s) know they may win, but there will be Costs for them; a Pyrrhic Victory? Assuredly.

In International Commerce, one wants to make certain that one’s own Mental Orientation is Absolutely Resolute.  More Well Financed Competitors or even Nations with whom one deals, should  know in advance that they will end up like Greek King Pyrrhus of Epirus when he fought the Romans if they challenge you.

Even the Arrogant can learn to show Respect to the Smaller but Intrepid Competition’s unceasing Will-Power. The Cost of their Desired Success may be more than the Egotistical want to Pay.

☆ Shale Oil Reserves In America: Are The Estimates Accurate?

News Analysis: “Shale Oil Reserves In America: Are The Estimates Accurate?” is a question Petroleum Engineers ask presently. The ‘Jan Arp Formula” has its equations taken from “Liquid” Oil Production and applied (with minor Adjustments?) to Oil Shale Rock Production. To analogize: “Is a Grapefruit a Tangerine?” Both are Citrus Fruit; both have peels; both have seeds; both have pulp. However, these Fruit are different in Sizes, Sugar Contents, and pH (Acid) Levels.

Any Oil Field in the World needs greater numbers of holes drilled in it for attainment of more accurate estimated Reserves therein.

In estimating Oil Shale Rock Reserves, one has more problematic elements to contend with. Perhaps the biggest difficulty is to fracture the Oil Shale Rock ‘Most Properly’ so Oil And Gas can escape the strata and be recovered maximally. A  difficulty is having to drill deeper and then be “Lucky Enough” to Horizontally Drill to the Mid-Point (Up-Down, Left Right) in the Shale Deposit (possibly a great distance from the drilling rig). This process can then be continued with other drilling to maximize the extraction. Another perhaps lesser element is the proper Chemicals/Pressures utilized to fracture the Shale; there will be some variations in both Chemical Composition and as well Compaction of Shale in the same ‘large’ deposit over the distance.

As with ANY Formulation, the “Garbage In-Garbage Out” Principle applies; even to adaptations of Jan Arp’s Equation.

It does not take too much imagination to envision Vested Interest Groups wanting to “Hype” the Price of Petroleum Company Related Stock(s) by using  “Creative Equations” for large ‘Estimated Reserves’ to impress the “Freiers” who would buy into it.

Unfortunately today, there are not too many Oil Company leaders with the Integrity the likes of George Franklin Getty; amongst some of the current lot “Anything For A Buck (AFAB)” ‘Contamination permeates the Strata’.

“Caveat Emptor”; especially in the Petroleum Industry.

☆ Is The U.S. Agency For International Development (USAID) Secretly Working For Fidel Castro’s Old Enemy: Organized Crime?

News Analysis: The New Revelation about Continued U.S. Government Harassment of other Countries makes people ask “Is The U.S. Agency For International Development (USAID) Secretly Working For Fidel Castro’s Old Enemy: Organized Crime?”

After the Gangsters were evicted from Cuba in 1959 by the Castro Brothers, another associate of the Mobsters, President Kennedy’s Father, lost his possible Fiefdom of Cuba. President Kennedy is known to have gone to great lengths to try and kill Fidel Castro, as Historical Data has shown; Kennedy wanted to show to his Father he was a “Good Son” who could still had “delivered” Cuba to him, many people thought. In fact, President Kennedy’s “Peace Corps” was a subterfuge for Intelligence Gathering Agents around the World. Unrealistically, he hoped to send some of them to Cuba!

Now, the ‘USAID’ allegedly has been trying to (SECRETLY?) stir up unrest with young Cubans so the Cuban Government would quickly change (another U.S./ Ukraine Upheaval, many ‘International Observers’ state).

 Incidentally, many older Americans think the Castro’s are too “Experienced” to now be fooled by “Phony Cover-Stories” of visiting “Tourists who want to help”; especially if they come from America.

Theoretically if the ‘USAID’ had succeeded in its Cabal, the ‘Mob’ would be ecstatic and their ‘Minions’ in Washington, D.C. would surely be rewarded; typical. Taking over Cuba would allow Bankers to get access to the Natural Resource Riches, i.e. Petroleum, Natural Gas, and other Minerals, and the ‘Shtarkers’ could open up new Hotel/Casinos throughout the Island for the “Freiers”; Big Earnings. Additionally, being so close to South Florida, the mob could establish Cuba as a “Tax Haven” for Americans and others (which their “Political Puppets” in Washington, D.C., would NOT immediately challenge).

The interesting element to this Naïve  ‘USAID’ Fiasco is that those in this Agency and Associated Federal Agencies have not learned the Simple Truth which International Businessmen know: “There Are No Long Term Secrets”; hopefully, the President learns this. 

When International Observers ‘Connect the Dots’, Government Interventions in the name of “Democracy” or other hyperbole really comes down to: MONEY; for Bankers, or their ‘Connections’ (be they Mobsters or Otherwise). THERE IS NOTHING “PATRIOTIC” ABOUT THE INTERVENTIONS, ULTIMATELY: MERELY ‘BUCKS’.

☆ Afghanistan’s 209,000 Hectares (516,000 Acres) Of Poppies Are Well Protected By America

News Analysis: Afghanistan’s 209,000 Hectares (516,000 Acres) Of Poppies Are Well Protected By America; This to benefit the various International Entities Prospering From Thriving Heroin Sales, many people say. The alleged 40 FOLD GROWTH in Poppy Production since 2001 can be ascribed to vested interests of Pertinent Parties on the Supply Side of the Ledger: Agronomists, Bankers, Brokers, Fertilizer Suppliers, Growers, Processors, Distributors, Law Enforcement, Politicians, and many others, one may assume. On the Demand Side are the Users (B.O.) “Before Overdosing”.

It is extremely interesting that the U.S. White House “Says Almost Nothing and Does Almost Nothing to Eradicate the Poppy Fields”; the current 516,000 Acres Cultivated remove any credibility to any protestations regarding the aforementioned comment.

Washington, D.C. has NO credibility in the World as to Heroin Elimination. Is there anyone on Earth to think that the very capable U.S. National Security Agency, which monitors the Entire World’s Electronic Communications, cannot determine who is involved on the ‘Supply Side of the Ledger’, regarding Heroin?

The present size of the Heroin Problem World-Wide might require an brief look at the Demand Side of the Ledger. Knowing or suspecting how bad Heroin is for one’s body, why use it? A likely answer is: Precursor Drugs such as Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD), Marijuana, Methamphetamines, ‘Pain Pills’, and the like. Pharmacologists think that the aforementioned have increased in toxicity (with the exception of ‘LSD’ which has been “lightened” for greater acceptance by Users). Perhaps the Molecular Acceptance of these drugs by the Human Body, allow them to remain in certain locales; thereby creating a constant craving. Once located in the Human Body, the best “Friend” of the User is his Supplier; the best “Pacifier” of the User is his “Junk”. Beyond Pathetic.

☆ Chilean Civilians Enjoy The Many Uses Of Chinese Drones

News Analysis: Chilean Civilians Enjoy The Many Uses Of Chinese Drones for Commercial Purposes as well as for Personal Pleasure. These $4,500.00 Drones are sent to Chile and undergo final assembly and inspection before being released to customers. Each customer may undergo instruction in proper fly procedures as well as understand Chilean Legalities of use in the airspace; THESE “EVO” DRONES ARE NOT TOYS. 

Typical Chilean uses for such small aircraft may be: Bridge Inspections; Concert Viewing; Crop Analysis; Forest Fire Detection; Mineral Locating; News Events; Traffic Congestion Monitoring; Trespasser Identification; and, Vehicle Locating; to name a few.

Presently, in the World, Chile is Number 5, for Internet Contact with the Manufacturer, in the use of this particular aircraft.

Various cameras and optional equipment can give the Operator the information flow he or she needs when flying the craft. The aircraft weighs less than 4.5Kg. (10 Lbs.) without the cameras of various capabilities being offered. 

Due to the very Low Price and the Capabilities of the small Aircraft, we can see: Australians checking their Sheep Herds; Canadian Gold Mining Operators looking for ‘Sight-Seers’;

Growers in Kalamata, Greece inspecting their Olive Trees; Ranchers throughout the American West or Argentina or Brazil watching their Cattle Herds; Vintners in the Napa-Sonoma-Mendocino area of California using this equipment to inspect their Grape Crops.

Almost anywhere Security must be “Tight” such as the aforementioned Gold Operations, this Aircraft is essential. In large “New Construction” Projects, both trespassers can be thwarted and equipment and/or materials readily located.

The possibilities of assistance by using this Aircraft are only limited by one’s imagination.

☆ General Motors: ‘Is A “Anything For A Buck” (AFAB) Mentality To Continue?’

News Analysis: Of formerly Vaunted General Motors: ‘Is A “Anything For A Buck” (AFAB) Mentality To Continue?’ asked Government Officials in Washington, D.C. A $..57 Cent Component in a Switch Assembly malfunctioned numerous times resulting in many deaths in General Motors Vehicles.

Several years ago General Motors was at the “Public Trough” in Washington, D.C. seeking “Bail Out” Money from the American Government. Since it was deemed “Too Big To Fail”, it was given the money. What was apparently NOT DISCLOSED at the time was that the Spring Malfunction had, for several years prior, already caused the unfortunate deaths of Americans.

The solution was to replace the $.57 Cent Spring! This was something that was anguished about (the cost of the Spring replacement) by General Motors Engineers and Management for Years, it has been said)!  The ‘AFAB’ Mentality was alive and well at General Motors.

One of the obvious flaws of the existing “Stock Market System” is the Investors want higher earnings by Corporations in each Calendar Quarter. ANYTHING which might affect that Mantra is to be Opposed by Management; in this case it was a $.57 Cent part (AFAB at work)!

Whether or not both the “AFAB’ Mentality of Automobile Companies (and Others) really changes is problematic. What many people WILL bet on that in cases such as these tragedies, the purported current ‘Outrage’ of Washington, D.C. Politicians will subside and the “Shuck and Jive is Alive” reality will once again present itself in the City; Politicians being Politicians.

Reality.

☆ Armenia’s Electronic Industry Develops Advanced Tablet Computers And Smart-phones For Export

News Analysis: Armenia’s Electronic Industry Develops Advanced Tablet Computers And Smart-phones For Export and hopes to sell approximately $1+ Billion Dollars of them per Year.

The country’s mature Electronics Industry is expanding into the “Personal Electronics” market with their new products. Armenia has a long history in Electronics Production and their Sub-Systems have been incorporated into ‘End Products’ World-Wide.

The almost 3 Million residents of this 29,743 Km2 (11,483 Mi2) country will benefit by these products, so the Armenian Government in Yerevan under President Serzh Sargsian and Prime Minister Tigran Sargsian have endorsed this effort with Tax and other pertinent Benefits.

Armenia’s very good friend, Russia will be an interesting market for such production as will be other historically friendly Nations. The very hospitable Armenian People, many who have emigrated to other continents will surely want to buy such devices and encourage their friends and associates to do so.

The Intellect and Steadfastness of the Armenian People will help them attain their desire in this expanding Electronics Market.

Investors may want to consider funding such Armenian Products early on. Profitability in doing so would be highly probable since the Multi-Lingual Armenians have a ‘track record’ in this Industry; they are not ‘Electronic Newbies’ like many in America.

We wish them the very best in their efforts.

Reality.
