Writing this reaction from the airport in Europe, just learning the magnitude of this disaster.  What a crying shame, one cloudbuster on the beach, drawing from the ocean overnight, and the sea-breeze with moist air would be restored, and the fires out shortly afterward.  We did this in Oakland, California in 1991.  Several contacts in S. California earlier in the year firstly wanted to help organize something against the prolonged SW drought, then curiously went silent or backed away in mid-discussions. I was scheduled to fly in and meet with a mayor or two, give them a power-point presentation on my work in drought-abatement, all the successful experiences over 30 years... but apparently interest waned.

Similar wind-reversal operations were done during severe firestorms along the Australian coast.... but who wants to hear about it.  The desert expands and pushes towards the ocean waters, but it won't be analyzed functionally, bioenergetically.  Everyone will point to a hundred different reasons, but the foundational causes will be ignored.

Nearly nobody takes it seriously until the flames are licking at their heels. Or they are overwhelmed with ordinary problems of daily life in the armored world.  This fire is so fast-developing, and may become California's "Katrina" -- let's hope not.  In Oakland, we were right there, within some hours after the fires began to spread on the first day, and had the cloudbuster set up by early evening.  That night, under influence from the cloudbuster, the Santa Anna winds stopped, reversed direction, and the morning saw fog and sea-breeze with light rain, allowing the fire-fighters to complete their difficult task.  The report on that was published in our journal, but authorities in California treated the findings with contempt and ridicule.

All the "Drought Emergency Task Force" and "Governor's Water Board" experts and "Water District" bosses and consultants were hardly able to contain their enraged laughter when we tried, repeatedly, to gain some small support for our efforts, often merely just a permission to set up our equipment on a critical location along the water's edge.  But they would have none of it.  That's why we moved to quiet and friendly Oregon, out of the California rat-race of social arrogance and emotional immobility.  Today, the police would be guarding the water reservoirs and beaches, keeping out strangers, so it might not even be possible to do our work by stealth, "unofficially", as was done so casually in the pre-911 environment.

By analogy, the authentic followers of Reich's work on the weather issues are like physicians who know an epidemic is created by a contaminated well, and that if only people would stop drinking water from that contaminated well, the epidemic would end.  Often, they can go an shut down those wells, or clean them up -- by analogy to the atmospheric stagnation, and use of the cloudbuster like atmospheric acupuncture. But in this case, we have decades of bad experiences where society turns its back on the solutions by which it could be saved.  So more fire destruction seems inevitable.

I also fear, there must be dozens of nature-hating pot-smoking freaks in Southern California all setting up their "chembusters" without knowing the cloud-clearing effects also set up a semi-permanent aridity in the atmosphere.  Or they know this from my published warnings, but with arrogant hatred against Reich's original findings, refuse to consider the warnings might be true.  Or they are of the arson mentality.

Oh, humanity.  What is to be done.

The Violent Oppression of Women in Islam

Freedom-hating Stalinist student groups continue trying to blockade public free speech exposing this global problem, in alliance with their fellow freedom-hating Islamofascist buddies.  Islam is a "religion of peace", and if you don't agree, we'll behead you! 

The historical analogy here is when outspoken abolitionists began speaking out against black slavery, to halt its spread and eliminate it, that the slave-runners, slave-owners, and slavery advocates all rose up in angry indignation, and heaped abuse upon the heads of anyone who dared to speak the Awful Truth.

Consider this article posted below in the context of desert-spreading, of the atmosphere over the gigantic Saharasian Desert Belt expanding outwards to the Americas, to Asia and across the Pacific to the Americas, and you have the same data explained by a completely different theory than CO2 greenhouse.  Of course, this is heresy, as the blame then goes to the overpopulated regions of Saharasia, their abusive land-use practices over millennia -- deforestation, agricultural burning, wood-grubbing, overgrazing, etc. -- rather than CO2-producing activities per se.  Here you can see this process on-going every day:

http://www.nrlmry.navy.mil/aerosol_web/loop_html/toms_globaer_gmt_loop.html

And at this time of year, the phenomenon is at a low ebb.  Wait until mid-winter or summer to see it double in size.

So they finally have got the symptoms of "drying up" part correct, but still miss the deeper underlying causal mechanisms.  This is much like modern medicine, having the symptomology all clearly defined, but the underlying causes very often totally off-the-mark.  And if the Gore-CO2 hysteria catches on, perhaps all the old-line climatologists who are skeptical will be fired with their books into the incinerators, like Wilhelm Reich, and we can then look forward to decades of accelerating drought, fires, heat-waves, etc., but nothing done except to spend billions to reduce CO2 emissions, while ignoring the massive problems within and around Saharasia, which will result in exactly nothing.  Saharasia is the "elephant in the living room" which nobody sees, or wants to see, in spite of its massive social, international, and climatological impacts.

The Future Is Drying Up

from the New York Times (Registration Required)

Scientists sometimes refer to the effect a hotter world will have on this
country's fresh water as the other water problem, because global warming
more commonly evokes the specter of rising oceans submerging our great
coastal cities.

By comparison, the steady decrease in mountain snowpack - the loss of the
deep accumulation of high-altitude winter snow that melts each spring to
provide the American West with most of its water - seems to be a more
modest worry. But not all researchers agree with this ranking of dangers.

Last May, for instance, Steven Chu, a Nobel laureate and the director of
the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory ... remarked that diminished
supplies of fresh water might prove a far more serious problem than slowly
rising seas. When I met with Chu last summer in Berkeley, the snowpack in
the Sierra Nevada, which provides most of the water for Northern
California, was at its lowest level in 20 years.

Reason: The international corollary to the word tolerance is probably respect. The alleged lack of respect has become a perennial sore spot in relations between the West and Islam. Salman Rushdie receiving a British knighthood supposedly signified such a lack of respect, as did the Danish cartoons last year, and many other things. Do you believe this is what Muslims genuinely crave-respect?

Hirsi Ali: It's not about respect. It's about power, and Islam is a political movement.

Reason: Uniquely so?

Let's see, erasing the Little Ice Age and Medieval Warm Period from the "hockey stick" graph of global temperatures, false photos from irrigation-drained lakes claimed to be "drying up from climate change", claims the 2005 hurricane season with Katrina, et al, was a harbinger for the future... until 2006 and 2007 turned out to be a hurricane bust... well there is a warming going on with a melting back of floating sea-ice which won't change the sea-levels, but Mars is also showing a loss of polar-cap size, so the idea that humans are responsible begins to appear more and more suspect the longer one investigates.  A variable Sun might explain things better but, oops, can't even mention that as all those climatologists are "deniers"!  But wasn't this the same Mr. Gore whom Bill Clinton sent to Europe, to twist the arms of Tony Blair and other EU nations into accepting hormone-contaminated American beef and GMO products, which even Americans have been refusing to eat, in increasing numbers?  And isn't it just possible, that the big push on this from the Tennessee Senator, who is the son of a Tennessee Senator, just might have more to do with nuclear power plants and the gigantic vested interests in the Tennessee Valley Authority and its nuclear complexes?  Just as the Texas oilman's son promotes petroleum?  Are any of them truly interested in renewable energy systems, or is that all a "convenient ploy" for whatever their favorite pollution might be?  Pardon me, but I have more solar panels on my modest home than Al Gore does on all his mansions combined -- and the Clinton/Gore team didn't even do as much as Jimmy Carter (ech) about the energy crisis, with nary a single solar collector added to the White House, nor any push for more fuel-efficient cars, much less programs to reduce petroleum dependency over the 8 years of Clinton/Gore.  Even the hated Bush has lived for years in a modest energy-efficient passive solar home in Crawford Texas, a tiny home with a very small "carbon footprint" as compared to the sprawling Gore Palace in Tennessee.  What was that Native American saying about "walking your talk".   J.D.

Citing court ruling, compares situation to sports stars found to be 'cheats'

"An Inconvenient Truth" won Oscars in 2006 for best documentary and best original song.

At a news conference today, Gore said he would accept the Nobel Prize on behalf of all global warming activists and donate 100 percent of the cash award to the non-profit Alliance for Climate Protection, "focusing on changing the way people think about the urgency of the climate crisis."

"This is a chance to elevate global consciousness about the challenges that we face now," he said.

Well this is no news to anyone who has read Reich's Cosmic Superimposition or my paper on "A Dynamic and Substantive Cosmological Ether".   Quick... burn the books!

In August, an international team of scientists made a discovery that could radically change our view of the universe.

The team, which includes Professor Daniel Ferenc of UC Davis, operates and analyzes results from the MAGIC (Massively Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Cherenkov) telescope located in the Canary Islands.

The MAGIC team discovered that high-energy photons emitted from a black hole more than 300 million years ago arrived four minutes later than the low energy photons. This discovery casts doubt on Einstein's theory of relativity, which has been the basis of modern physics for many years.

"This is somehow like a completely new phenomenon," Ferenc said in a telephone interview.

The new results suggest that our old view of space is incorrect and that space behaves more like a material than an empty vacuum.

The photons, tiny packets of energy that make up light, started their life more than 300 million light years away in Markarian 501, a galaxy with a black hole at its center. From time to time, Markarian 501 sends out bursts of gamma rays in the direction of Earth.

The scientists working with the MAGIC telescope analyzed two kinds of photons interacting with the Earth's atmosphere. Both kinds of photons were believed to have been emitted at the same time, yet high-energy photons arrived four minutes later than low-energy photons. These observed results contradict Einstein's general theory of relativity, which claims that all photons travel at the same speed.

"If photons are genuinely slowed down in vacuum, this effect would mean the breakdown of relativity," Ferenc said.

And what's even more amazing is the delay of four minutes precisely matched a theoretical prediction made before the observation by Professor John Ellis 10 years ago.

However, the MAGIC scientists are not celebrating yet. Before making any theoretical claims, the scientists will have to duplicate the results and eliminate alternate explanations.

"This is an important measurement that will become significant if another source is measured and the time delay is correlated with distance to the source," said UC Davis physics professor Mani Tripathi, who was involved with CACTUS, a UC Davis-run project very similar to MAGIC.

In other words, by observing other objects similar to Markarian 501, and observing a similar phenomenon, the MAGIC team will be able to test its original findings.

"It's only a question of time," Ferenc said about observing another such photon delay.

So, is the theory of relativity dead? Is our current understanding of the universe flawed?

"Relativity's pretty well trusted," said John Stilley, a graduate student of physics at UC Davis, who worked with the CACTUS telescope project. "I trust it."

It is more probable that the observed photon delay is due to our incomplete understanding of Markarian 501 than due to flaws in the theory of relativity, Stilley said.

"I think it's more likely it has to do with their understanding of Markarian and how it works than how to change relativity," Stilley said.

Stilley stated that he would remain skeptical until more data is gathered.

"But that's the goal of a scientist," he said.

Therefore, before we can rewrite the physics textbooks, much more theoretical work and many more observations have to be made.

"More measurements will shed light on this issue," Tripathi said.

However, the fact that the MAGIC telescope was able to observe this effect shows the amazing potential of the new technology that is now available to physicists.

"The telescope technology has evolved and this effect is now observable by the MAGIC telescope, something that an earlier effort by the Whipple telescope did not manage," Tripathi said.

This new technology is sure to give us new and amazing discoveries in the very near future.

"Whenever you open a new window on the universe, you find something very exciting, sometimes earthshaking," said Ferenc.

Whatever the conclusion, the MAGIC team's discovery proves that the universe is still capable of surprising us.

As Ferenc said about his discovery, "This is not the end, but a very exciting beginning."

This item suggests yet another example of mistaken causality in medicine, similar to AIDS, Mad-Cow, and a growing list ever since the days when the "slow virus" theory became popular over the older time-tested methods known as Koch's Postulates.  If the same illogic applied to a murder investigation, you could be charged with a murder that happened today, because ten years ago you were observed visiting the dead person's house.  Seems this conflict in medicine is the result of having thrown Wilhelm Reich's discoveries on bionous disintegration of cells onto the bonfires.  I'm wondering how long it will take for these "dissenters in science" to be assaulted as "Lyme Deniers" and tarred as imbiciles and haters, followed by censorship of their words.  J.D.

In what is becoming one of the most heated debates in medicine, doctors, scientists and patients are lining up on two sides of a discourse about Lyme disease, an infectious condition whose incidence has risen sharply in recent years.

A prestigious group of physicians and scientists says there is no evidence that chronic Lyme disease exists, and that patients may be doing themselves more harm than good by undergoing prolonged antibiotic therapy.

The team wrote a report saying as much last week in the New England Journal of Medicine. Their analysis is of importance to New York, one of 10 states where Lyme is most often diagnosed.

Rather than calling the condition chronic Lyme disease, Shapiro and colleagues advocate referring to symptoms that persist for six or more months as post-Lyme disease syndrome.

Haughie wonders how doctors could be so callous.

She said tick-transmitted bacteria caused her to endure cognitive impairments similar to Alzheimer's disease and weakened her ability to walk and talk. Long-term antibiotic therapy, she said, helped her regain her strength and memory. She said doctors have prescribed antibiotics on-and-off since 1988.

Rosemary Markowsky, a patient in Manhattan, said she was apparently bitten in 1994 but it took more than a decade to get the correct diagnosis. "I was misdiagnosed for 12 years [and] now after 11 months of antibiotic therapy I am 90 percent better," she said.

Dr. Len Horowitz, an attending physician at Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan, said prolonged antibiotic therapy may be warranted for patients with advanced symptoms. "In the later stages, patients may even need intravenous [antibiotic] therapy because Lyme can progress from a simple infection to cardiac disease. The organism at this stage is more difficult to eradicate," he said.

In Wilton Conn., Dr. Steven Phillips, past president of the International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society, said he's dismayed that Shapiro's report appeared in such an influential journal. "It was biased and without merit," he said.

But even though Phillips said chronic Lyme disease is real, he acknowledged that no one knows how many patients are affected. "Everybody defines chronic Lyme differently," he said. "I define it as people who keep relapsing."

Finding a vaccine

1975 First cases of Lyme disease reported.

1981 Microbe identified.

1988 Lyme Disease Foundation founded.

Bob Levine doesn't understand why chronic Lyme disease has become such a divisive issue in the medical community.

"It's become a holy war," he said. "It is an issue of who's right and who's not, and the patients are stuck in the middle."

Levine said he worries that this latest review will put more pressure on doctors who treat patients like him - he would not reveal the name of his doctor. And he is concerned health insurers will begin to deny coverage. He estimated it would cost him $500 a month out of pocket for his antibiotics.
