Guest Column: LiFi: Tech Leapfrog over Killer 5G?

For home and office use, it looks like LiFi dusts WiFi running away
By Brian R. Wright

Too good to be true, or a White Horse technology to take us away from all the biohazards and surveillance nightmares of RF proliferation? I’m basically doing a core dump, which started from a reference to the following column sent to me by the mythic demigod of local liberty activism known as David Lonier, of Auburn Hills, Michigan:

To which I launched the following tentative, “Wow, we all need to see where this goes!” discussion… including several more videos from TED (technology, entertainment, design) and others:

As I recall, the #3 TED talk provides the strongest and most optimistic advocacy.

The following was my initial response to David Lonier:

I’m looking at the electromagnetic spectrum and see that the frequency of visible light is 300 THz, which is why the data carrying capacity so much higher than radio waves (100s of MHz), but my question is this: why does light from a light bulb cause no harm when radiated radio waves from a cellular tower or from a WiFi router–which have much less frequency–present a real biohazard?

Answering my own question, it must be that the radio waves are AMPLIFIED significantly to go through the air medium, and as I remember my physics, the power/square meter is as the square of the amplitude. Which makes sense. Also there are differences in penetration, e.g. skin, depending on what frequency you’re running.

… we don’t need to worry about exposure to the light waves in LiFi, because it’s normal visible light as generated by a light bulb and equipped for dataflow. It looks like the LiFi “network” backbone is or could be nothing more nor less than specially designed street lights I’m guessing hooked up or backed up/augmented with fiberoptic cable.

None of these speakers seems to be worried about surveillance or health. But I think the major health problems go away, because 5G cellular wireless won’t be able to handle the bandwidth, called spectrum crunch. So who needs cell towers (or death towers masquerading as cell towers) or millimeter wave beaming satellites? Gone. Leapfrogged. What a bunch of bozos are the corporate behemoths who didn’t see this coming (looks like Prof. Harald Haas coined the term in 2011/2012 via TED). Continue reading

Brian’s Column: Announcing a Precocious New Voice for Truth and Justice

What really appears to be going on in the world right now…

By Brian R. Wright

All I have say is Wow! Here it is in all its stream of independent-consciousness splendor, a column by one Helen Buyniski. SHE is The One. The range of her mind and ability to connect all the key journalistic facts with clear and humor-tinged colloquialisms and take-no-prisoners logic into a beautifully written mosaic for all the good guys is off the charts. I’ll find out more and share as I do.

WARNING: Helen’s prose is highly addicting.
Here’s a column reproduced by Kevin Barrett in Veterans Today, from Thursday:

… and a corresponding email message I sent out to some of my one-time Ron Paul liberty-Republican friends who since the Trump Bubble Machine came to town in 2016 have shown very disturbing signs contracting Trumptardia—actually believing DJT has the slightest interest in the individual liberty of anyone on the planet. I first gave them the above link, then commented as follows…

Seeing signs of the ruling class pressing hard for absolute tyranny, but also the roots of their imminent demise.

For example, the movie VAXXED was pulled from Amazon DVD offering after some loony Congressman wrote a letter http://vaxxedthemovie.com/?s=amazon. But if you check out the VAXXED site, Amazon and the Congressman are going to be the ones taking it in the shorts. Same thing with Ilhan Omar playing the Emperor’s New Clothes on the Bright Shining Dogf*****s of apartheid, genocidal Israel. “One woman with courage makes a majority…” to paraphrase Lindbergh… and my dad.

The VT column is a long read, but you won’t be disappointed. Please no ad hominem responses that the facts cannot be right because the author once voted for a Democrat or drinks lattes or didn’t square her story with Q-Anon, etc., etc. And also note how our old friend and Bright Shining Lover of Liberty, Donald J(ust basically a sadistic, self-righteously illiterate, serial-child-abusing, state-worshiping moron). Trump comes off with letting his Ziocon-lackey officials run bananas all over the world.

Book Review: Unprotected (2018)

Failures of General Motors and the United Auto Workers…
By Camille F. McMillan
Reviewed by Brian R. Wright

… and the civil and criminal justice in Michigan, and the general community of plant workers who failed to step in and prevent this horrific harassment of an exceptional and accomp-lished journeyman electrician—who happens to be black and a woman.

The title should be Unrelenting, to describe the abuse she suffered, mainly at the Pontiac East Assembly Plant during the 1990s and into the early 2000s. What happily married-for-41-years Camille McMillan had to endure is something out the worst Hollywood version of the Old South in the 1950s. In the Heat of the Night of Sparta, Mississippi, of 1967, ain’t got nothing on the blue collar bad apples (scum)—and their white-collar management and union enablers (often worse scum, participating in the abuse)—of Pontiac, Michigan, of the turn of the 21st century.

Then, after a journey down the big-money-bought (GM branch of corporate government)  citadel of corruption that passes for a judicial system these days, seeking a suitable redress of grievances, Mrs. McMillan’s case(s) are botched by attorneys and summarily, criminally squelched by judges. On top of it all, Camille has Multiple Sclerosis (MS), exacerbated by the trauma she suffered at work and now at a devastating stage:

“I lost my job. My MS is now progressive and I can’t walk. I have weird sensations throughout my body because of it. I have numbness throughout my body. I can only sleep four or five hours a night because of these sensations. The medicine I take does little to help. I’m glad I left [GM] because our work relationship was getting darker. Derek, Amos, and LeRoy were three of four of the worst black males [plenty of black-man-on-black-woman  ‘piling on’ to the underlying pervasive low-life, white racism and sexism at the plant, you get the picture: the harassment was systemic — ed.] I have ever encountered….” — page 222

All I have to say is, “Where is Oprah when we need her?” The world we’re all up against is one giant Jerry Springer Show with a pack of elite corporate-state vipers opportunistically instigating and sustaining all the injustices for their own sleazy financial scams, while smiling down sadistically at their little puppet show with dead eyes. Camille’s story is OUR story, any honest person who has gone up against the man, naïvely, and been thrashed about like a rag doll by a spoiled child. The spoiled children are IN CHARGE of our society… and that has to change. How? Well, I do have a plan.[1] Continue reading

Movie Review: The Happening (2008)

3/10 … and that’s because I don’t see too many 2s

081127_HappeningPrincipal: [to concerned teachers] “Alright, there appears to be an event happening. Central Park was just hit by what seems to be a terrorist attack. They’re not clear on the scale yet. It’s some kind of airborne chemical toxin that’s been released in and around the park. They said to watch for warning signs. The first stage is confused speech. The second stage is physical disorientation, loss of direction. The third stage…is fatal.”

Most of the movies I review I enjoy and recommend to the attention of others. Occasionally, I’ll go slumming and to try to gather page visits from the masses… e.g. RV, Talladega Nights, Fool’s Gold, and a few others—actually these all have some redeeming critical qualities IMHO. But I’m going to go out on a limb and state that of the popular movies I’ve seen, except for the absolutely atrocious Mars Attacks, this latest effort from M. Night Shyamalan should either a) not have gotten off the cutting floor or b) the metaphor is so esoteric and deep that my modest intellect cannot fathom it.

Written by M. Night Shyamalan
Directed by M. Night Shyamalan

Mark Wahlberg … Elliot Moore
Zooey Deschanel … Alma Moore
John Leguizamo … Julian
Ashlyn Sanchez … Jess
Betty Buckley … Mrs. Jones
Spencer Breslin … Josh

Like M. Night’s popular Sixth Sense with Bruce Willis and Signs with Mel Gibson, I assumed that The Happening would be a movie that was difficult to discuss without giving away an important revelation that gives meaning to the story and people’s bizarre behavior.  In the case of the two former movies, we saw that the thoughts of the protagonist(s) were all a big, beautiful, though troubling, metaphor for the reality of things.  I enjoyed Sixth Sense and Signs for that reason.  The viewer stumbles along saying, “Okay, that seems a little puzzling there, but this is science fiction, so I’ll suspend disbelief.”  Until in the final few scenes the author gives you the final piece of the puzzle, and it’s “Aha!” Continue reading

Guest Column: Ultimate Proof of DOJ Corruption and CtC Validity

Trial testimony of a DOJ attorney has now proven that the government deliberately lies about the content of CtC
From email by Pete Hendrickson

BACKGROUND:

DOJ Tax Division attorney Robert Metcalfe testified under oath in the show trial of Doreen Hendrickson on a charge of contempt of court for 1. refusing to replace her freely-made sworn tax returns for 2002 and 2003 with returns dictated by Metcalfe, and 2. for purportedly filing a tax return for 2008 based on the notion, purportedly found in her husband’s book, ‘Cracking the Code- The Fascinating Truth About Taxation In America’ (CtC), that only government workers are subject to the income tax.*

According to the charge, Mrs. Hendrickson’s actions violated orders made to her by federal district judge Nancy Edmunds in 2007. However, Metcalfe’s testimony revealed that in fact, he wrote the orders Hendrickson allegedly disobeyed.

It also came out during the trial that even though the orders bearing Edmunds’ signature make declarations about the content of arguments presented in Peter Hendrickson’s book (such as the allegation that Hendrickson argues that only government workers are subject to the tax), Edmunds had never read the book. Nor had she ever questioned or had before her any witness regarding its contents (nor any witness, period) before signing the Metcalfe-written orders.

Further, the argument purportedly found in the book not only does not appear there but is very expressly debunked in the book. The assertion that the book makes that argument is also belied by the government’s own documentary evidence, which had been presented to Edmunds (and was, of course, known to Robert Metcalfe, who also admitted under oath to having read CtC before writing his false “findings” and orders concerning the book). See the attached .pdf or http://losthorizons.com/Documents/FalseAscriptions.pdf.

Nonetheless, the IRS has endlessly repeated the canard about the content of CtC for more than ten years now– even while steadily issuing $billions in 100% refunds for over 15 years now to filers acting on what ACTUALLY appears in the book. See http://losthorizons.com/BulletinBoard.htm.
