Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel Can Only Guess As To What The NSA Knows About Her

News Analysis: Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel Can Only Guess As To What The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) knows about Her since it will not release a Copy of Her file to the Chancellor; Naturally.

The Omnipotent and Omniscient ‘NSA’ does” What it wants, When it wants, to Whom it wants, many International Observers think.

If one thinks about the Adage of Britain’s Lord Palmerston: “Nations have no permanent friends or allies. They only have permanent interests.” then the hopes of the German Chancellor to have an Ally (America) act as an “Ally:,  is a ‘Non Sequitur’, unfortunately.

One might think that there is Absolutely Nothing that Germans can do to  protect their Privacy. This Assumption is Incorrect; one must merely “Think Outside The Box” for answers to achieving Privacy in Germany (or elsewhere); We have.

We cannot divulge our Conclusions about this problem for: “The ‘NSA’ might be listening”.  

To the German People we say: “Contact Us, Face-to-Face. We can help.”

☆ Renewable Energy Investments (REI’s) World-Wide Are Abating

News Analysis: Renewable Energy Investments (REI’s) World-Wide Are Abating many businessmen say; this, because the Return on Investment (ROI) is mediocre at best. All of the Direct and Indirect Costs associated with many ‘REI’s’ are much greater than possible Earnings Over Time.

A big Countering-Factor in the Energy Sector is that Petroleum Reserves are being expanded by both Off-Shore Deep-water Deposits and Colossal Size Oil Shale Fields. As an example, the Oil Shale Field in Venezuela and the one in Russia Ural Area are both individually larger than some countries!

Economically it is difficult to better energy over Petroleum. Many ‘REI’s’ have inconsistent energy production on a daily basis; the Wind may not blow, Solar Cells do not work well at night on mere Starlight. Another difficulty with ‘REI’s’ is energy transport from sources to Humanity. One may find a great Geo-Thermal Vent but there is no way to transmit its Energy long distances to where it may be needed (without extensive Investments). Petroleum is mature as to its Delivery Infrastructure.

While it is certainly fashionable to “Think Green”, International Businessmen know one must also “Think Green” (about Money). Without Money, Their Days Will Not Be Sunny.

☆ America Is To Import No Oil By 2037; Just Deplete Its Reserves: Illogical Logic?

News Analysis: America Is To Import No Oil By 2037; Just Deplete Its Reserves: Illogical Logic? In Investments, using “Other People’s Money” and Retaining your Own, is considered Very Wise. In America, regarding Oil Production, the reverse practice of using its Own oil, and saving Other’s, is practiced; “Great Logic” one may ask?

If one observes the practices of other Nations who have oil, they might see some attempting to Diversify Out of Oil Sales for Country Revenue Gains (and Oil Reserves Retention). In America, where “Anything For A Buck” (AFAB) Mentality permeates some of its Leaders, Shale Oil is sought to be Exported rather than Retained for Future Use. “If Oil is Valuable to a Country now, it will be more Valuable and Pricier in the future when it is in Short Supply”,  Businessmen might think.

Perhaps haughty Washington, D.C. Leaders think that Hegemonic America can merely “Take” whatever Oil it needs, in the future, from other lesser-defended Countries. They may be forgetting about the Debacle (to Gain Iraq Oil, the Mass Media declared) they created for the Iraqi People by a Miserably Planned and  executed attack on the Country. To eliminate the Iraqi Leader and his two Sons (THREE PEOPLE), they Physically Destroyed Iraq (at the cost of thousands of killed and injured Americans and Iraqis). America, in this case, ended up with next to no Oil attained, but other Nations are buying Oil from Iraq now.

Other Nations understand the benefit of utilizing the “Energy Principle” of ‘Other People’s Oil’ (OPO) while they keep their for future use. ‘OPO’ for Countries, realistically makes sense and will ‘make cents’ in coming years.

Galaxy With A Mass of 3 Quadrillion Sun’s At 7 Billion Light Years Distance From Earth

News Analysis: The largest Galaxy Cluster found is One With A Mass of 3 Quadrillion Sun’s At 7 Billion Light Years Distance from Earth. The very interesting element regarding its existence is: Why did it form as massively as measured? How many other similarly sized or larger Galaxy Clusters exist? Does warpage of Space/Time of this Entity affect other Galaxy Clusters “Nearby” it? How do Galaxy Clusters of this size (or larger) impact the edges of the visible Universe, if at all? Did “Dark Matter” influence its growth?

At a more Fundamental Level, one might wonder if this Gigantic Galaxy Cluster provides ANY Evidence to Mass Distribution Anomaly Characteristics by the “Higgs Boson”. If Mass is  distributed to sub-atomic particles by ‘particle type’, may have distribution anomalies ever occurred in the past, which helped to create Great Galaxy Clusters (by their getting proportionately more)?  

Astronomers and Cosmologists will have years to look into these Phenomena and come up with “Definite Maybes” or “Firm Perhapses”. They will enjoy their hypothesizing.

☆ Aircraft: Locating And Controlling Is A Reality

News Analysis: Russian Avionics Engineers have created a System for Locating and (shortly) Controlling Commercial or Military Aircraft in flight. The System works even if those persons flying in an aircraft disable the Transponder and other Avionics Equipment. Shortly, pilots may have flight control taken from them and the ‘questionable aircraft’ will be operated by proper parties from the ground.

The current Search for the Malaysian Airlines Aircraft follows an Obvious Extraordinary Job of Conception, Collusion, Reconnaissance, Dissimulation, Execution, and Obfuscation, many people think. If one adds into the equation the alleged unique talents of some of its passengers, along with the very muted behavior of one of the World Super-Powers, parties are dealing with a mere Hologram; its Actual Three-Dimensional Reality is only known to a few (by Initial Design of the Perpetrators) one may assume.

“Coincidences” (as described publicly by some parties regarding the various elements of the  Malaysian Airlines Craft Mystery) are as valuable as the first four letters of that word.

☆ Hummingbirds: Little “Jeweled Aviators Supreme”

News Analysis: The spectacular flying characteristics of Hummingbirds: Little “Jeweled Aviators Supreme” may equal their adaptability in various environments around the world for the past 22 Million Years Ornithologists think. Their ancestors go back 42 Million Years in Asia. The 338 recognized Hummingbird Species are continuing to adapt and will create additional Species in future years.

The Hummingbirds, Depending on Species,: Can have heart Beat rates of up to 1,260 per minute; Can fly up to 54 Km/hr (34 Mi/hr); Can beat their wings 100 times per second; and Can also fly Backwards.

It is interesting to note that today, this versatile ‘Bird’, despite its many Assets and Capabilities is, for unfathomable reasons, largely ignored by the Media of Man.

Perhaps why they have survived so well is that the “Ultimate Predator” has not thought about them; Lucky Birds.

☆ 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).

☆ 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.

☆ 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.

Reality.

☆ 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.
