Experts

I’m sick of the “experts” telling us what we should do and what we
shouldn’t worry about. Heads of State, monetary officials, the EPA, the
FDA, the FAA and an industry spokesman from the nuke industry have all
been doing it of late. They should understand that when they say things
that are not credible it makes those listening more concerned, not less.

These edited clips are from the weeks following the disaster at
Fukushima. Mr. Hore-Lacy is the spokesman for the World Nuclear
Association.

Guys like this should be buying up all the contaminated food that keeps turning up in Japan and make a point of feeding it to their kids and relatives kids on camera with the geiger clicking in the background. They should keep it up until the crisis is over then they might sway a few people who are on the fence.  Picking up a mop might sway a few more If all these asshats cheerleaders and officials had to be first responders maybe they'd change their tune after huddling around their designated dose buddy for a few shifts because nobody gave them a dosimeter (or proper footwear).  If only the world made sense.

Oh and when they have a real Expert like Tesla they get an asshole like JPM to pay asshole lawyers to bankrupt him.

Tesla had given us free electricity. 1.8 million Gigawatt Hours per hour of pure electricity is floating right over our heads and we use exactly Zero Hedge fucking Watts of it? ARE WE ALL STUPID FUKIN SHEEP FOR LETTING THE EXPERTS TELL US IF WE USE FREE ELECTRICITY IT MIGHT KILL US?

There are 16,000,000 or 1.6 X 10^7 lightning bolts hitting ground a year on planet.

The APP or Average Peak Power of a single lightning bolt is 1 Terawatt or 10^12 Watts = 1,000,000,000,000 Watts.

So we multiply Watts X Strikes per year to get total watts per year which is:

(1.6 X 10^7) X (1 X 10^12) = 1.6 X 10^19 = 16,000,000,000,000,000,000 watts per year.

Then we get hours in a year which is 24 X 365 = 8760.

Now divide year into annual wattage to get Watts Per Hour or Watt Hours:

1.6 X10^19 / 8.760 X 10^3 = 1.826 X 10^15 = 1,826,000,000,000,000

Every single major Industrial Revolution cornerstone in Electricity and Magnetism was invented by Tesla:

  1. AC Electricity Tesla Invented to Tom Edison's horror and arguement since it made Edison look like a hobbiest.
  2. Brushless Electric Motors. Edison only had US powered on DC brushed motors that always needed new brushes. Oh and DC cannot be sent more than one mile by wire before it looses all power!!!
  3. Radio. No Marconi was sued and the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Tesla Invented THE RADIO!!!
  4. FREE ELECTRICITY: Tesla had a huge tower and a big copper coil on it that could pull electricity out of thin air. It blew the westinghouse generators at the main power co's gen houses. Tesla had to go rewind all the copper in the gens. But since Tesla invented the AC gens in the first place, he had little trouble complying.
  5. NEON Lights
  6. RADAR
  7. Vacuume Tubes
  8. TV Tubes
  9. ROBOTS
  10. and 'drum roll' the infamous Number Ten is actually his most important: THE TESLA COIL!!!!!! HELL EVERY CAR IN THE WORLD USES HIS TESLA COIL TO FIRE THE PLUGS. Except of course for a diesel which only uses a glow plug and only at startup until diesel ignition occurs due merely to heat and compression mixed with of course fuel and oxygen.

MOST DANGEROUS EXPERTS EVER ARE LAWwomen. FBI is full of 'EXPERTS' that will save you from any crime some CIA Coke Toten Black Boy might be pullin, but the Rusky Mafiya scares the chickenshit pigs so much they run from the fuckers, or even scarier, do dirtywork for the fukers personally. Who gonna pull over a cop car runnin dope?

Google free book: Red Mafiya or Jewish Mafiya by Robert Friedman

link: http://robert-friedman-red-mafiya.blogspot.com/

lets see this proves amazon.com,ebay.com,google.com and facebook.com is run by Jew Mafiya if this book had to be given away.

go fig..

What is real scarey, is how fukin worthless this proves all the NSA wiretapping our asses has been for the last 30 years. This kinda even implicates the USA intel agencies as being in on the take maybe by kikbaks and so the USAF can corner the Afghan heroin runs without gettin kilt by Mafiya.

I have a simple or not so simple question:

 

What qualifies someone/something as being a bankster?

and some follow on questions:

Is a Hedge-fund manager a bankster?

Is a VC guy a bankster?

Is a PE person a bankster?

What about the shills on the financial networks?

Is a bank exec a bankster?

Is a CEO that has been the beneficiary of corporate welfare a bankster? If so how far down the line does it go?

What about the business owner that took the family company public and reaped hundreds of  millions from the equity markets?

How about the pension fund managers?

Or perhaps instead of people is it the entity that is the bankster?

 

I intend to post this or similar questions from time to time as it is confusing. What strikes me as wrong or unjust (I think I'm starting to sound like a commie) is that someone in asslick county in whatever state is a Walmart greeter to subsidize their ZIRP savings that were supposed to see them to the grave. Meanwhile a thrity  something hedgie  is jetting home from his/her Caribbean hideaway to a gated estate in Greenwich, as the VC guy, 20 years his senior and long since retired spent the day entertaining on his 65m yacht.

"What strikes me as wrong or unjust (I think I'm starting to sound like a commie) is that someone in asslick county in whatever state is a Walmart greeter to subsidize their ZIRP savings that were supposed to see them to the grave."

To point out greed & corruption at the highest levels does not indicate you are a communist or a capitalist in my opinion.

The facts simply are that the unholy alliance of DC power is now completely wedded to the unbridaled greed of Wall Street...this is no place for the normal citizen...everyone sees it and everyone knows it cannot last.

DC does not enforce securities laws unless a small trader conducts a wash sale...LOL...in fact it promotes the concept of theft by debt printing and picking winners & losers in the private sector via subsidization & regulation...the game is rigged...don't participate in this fascist nightmare, you will be crushed.

Agree -- experts with an agenda have to be discounted (which would be most of them).

Non-experts may not provide any less biased information, but also suffer from a lack of a deep understanding of the subject matter (yet still feel the need to pontificate with gusto).

The internet is an ok source for information and an excellent source for misinformation.

Hence believe a small percentage of what you read or hear......the comments on this site are not excluded from bias and lack of subject matter expertise.

Whore-lacy is embarrassing his own children in his bald and bold faced blasphemy! If this was my father I'd disown him, and try to build a time machine to abort myself just to disassociate myself with his gene pool. If we were to call him a tool, that would be too good, unless of course it was a sewage sludge rake.

One big question we should ponder is why do we continue to give "experts" such respect when so many are obviously wrong on a regular basis.

 

Is it because we would prefer to not take responsibilities for our own actions and thoughts?    Well....the expert said.....

My response is always: if nuclear is by far the safest form of energy production, then it shouldn't need $100s of billions of insurance subsidies.

I just see all kinds of fallout (no pun intended) from this thing.

Are you going to buy a Japanese car or parts made since the beginning of March, at any price? Consumer electronics? Computers or components with Japanese semiconductors in them?

I'm sure as hell not.

So how do they pay for all this reconstruction? This is the world's third-largest economy, and it doesn't go into hibernation for a few months/years without repercussions.

I'm a big fan of micro expressions, and there are three classic signs of lying.  Look at 0.35, 1.24 and 2.06, three blatant examples of - nodding but closing the eyes, eye glance to the side followed by nervous smile and the attempt to nod, but the head moving to the side....

 

I would add that the cunt thinks he's committing a noble lie in order to calm the nervous sheep who don't understand how wonderful nuclear energy is...
