A Bizarre National Security Incident In Beijing

Posted:

Why Was This Incident Not Reported Earlier?

A few days ago, the news media reported perhaps for the first time that a strange and unusual incident happened while President Trump visited China in early November 2017.

According to the reports, while the U.S. President and his entourage entered the Great Hall in Beijing on November 9, 2017, a Chinese security officer separated the U.S. official carrying the nuclear football with the nuclear launch codes from the others. Immediately, a scuffle ensued between Chinese and U.S. officials. The official story is that the briefcase with the nuclear launch codes was never touched by Chinese at any time.

Was It An Honest Mistake?

Hard to believe! More likely it was a test of U.S. security procedures and a reminder how inadequate these procedures  and safeguards might be.

One can only hope that China was fooled by this very outdated suitcase containing a credit card size piece of plastic with the nuclear launch codes.

Only Fools Pass Gun Free Zone Laws

Posted: 2/23/2018

The Foolish Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1990

Gun free zone was defined as within 1000 feet of a defined school.

No lesser a fool than U.S. Senator Joseph Biden introduced this law in 1990.

A total of 313 fools in the U.S. House of Representatives (178 Democrats, 135 Republicans) voted for this nonsense law. Only one Representative, a Republican, had the guts to vote against it. A coward 118 Representatives abstained from voting.

“Passed the [U.S.] Senate on October 27, 1990 (passed voice vote)” So the U.S. Senators were even more foolish and coward than their colleagues, the Representatives, to pass this nonsense law without even having their votes registered. Very clever!

Apparently, the U.S. Supreme Court could not get it straight either. How often has this court actually and substantially  failed over its history?

Foolish U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno then proposed changes to the act and they were adopted by other fools.

What A Bonanza This Law Has Been For Coward Mass Murderers

This absolutely foolish law made public schools target no. 1 again and again for coward mass murderers!

I don’t think I have to explain or expound this after the latest school shooting perpetrated on 2/14/2018 in Parkland, Fl by a single, young man killing 17 (14 students, 3 staff members).

Brief Legacy Of President Obama

Updated 7/29/2022: What and when did Obama know about the progressing dementia and senility of Joseph Biden, his Vice President and now 46th President?
Or what did Obama know about the Biden clans shady business dealings while Biden was his Vice President?
Was Obama in on it or did Obama get a cut?

Did Obama not know that Biden has been a terrible opportunist and pathological liar for several decades? Or were these the qualifications, he was looking for in a Vice President similar to his own?

Obama ever the showman, but nothing to show for! :-)

The legacy of President Obama in a nutshell:

1. He was the most unlawful president since Nixon
2. The most socialist president since Johnson
3. The most anti business president since FD Roosevelt
4. The most racist president since Woodrow Wilson
5. Obama’s many inept and foolish foreign policy escapades are left out here (except for the terrible Iran nuclear deal)
6. The many women in the Obama administration or his close advisors were as bad as himself!

The Amazing Bacterial Immune System

Just read Bacterial Immune Systems Take the Stage A systematic study uncovering multiple new and unusual bacterial immune defense mechanisms could pave the way toward new biotech tools

“Until a decade ago, scientists were not aware that bacteria had complex immune systems – ones that could keep up with the pace of evolution in viruses called phages that infect bacteria.”

If confirmed, this is a huge discovery! We may now learn so much more about the origins and evolution of our own immune system and so much more.

At Least 11 Different Immune System Defense Mechanisms

This is absolutely mind boggling! Besides, the recently discovered and now widely employed gene editing method CRISPR, researchers at the Weizmann Institute of Science have discovered 10 more different immune system defense mechanisms in bacteria previously unknown.

The scope and breadth of study itself is absolutely mind boggling.

Hydrogen To Supply Humanity With Cheap, Clean, And Abundant Energy

Update Of 7/27/2019

More good news about better catalysts: Ruthenium catalyst sets new efficiency record for water splitting (2/12/2019)

“An international team of scientists has synthesized a carbon nanowire doped with ruthenium and nitrogen that significantly outperforms conventional platinum-based catalysts for producing hydrogen from water. The team attributes the improved catalytic activity to individual ruthenium atoms embedded in the carbon matrix, rather than the presence of ruthenium nanoparticles.” (emphasis added)

Original Post

Just read New water-splitting method could open path to hydrogen economy Technique efficiently generates hydrogen from water. Researchers of the Washington State University discovered catalysts made from nanomaterials consisting of inexpensive nickel and iron.

If this turns out to be right, this could be a huge game changer how humans will produce energy going forward.

Implications

Another triumph of human ingenuity!

The global economic benefits cannot even be imagined!

No more energy shortages for humanity in the foreseeable future. 

Good riddance to all the windmills and solar panels spoiling our environment.
