First, Do No Harm: Dr. Fauci and the Moral Crusade of Vaccination

Image
Dr Christine Grady, former Director of NIH Bioethics and wife of Dr Anthony Fauci after his US Senate Hearing on July 29, 2026 were he was disgraced and humiliated by US Senators for his corrupt actions. They're in such total denial of the devastation all around us and are certain that as long as the messengers are all shot, then all is well. Please forgive me for displaying the vulgarity, but it highlights what may be the most relevant lesson from the suffering of Semmelweis, as it relates to the failures of medicine.  The photo and caption were clipped from an email from Dr. Peter McCullough. Nobody disputes that Semmelweis made a great discovery, although he didn't understand what exactly it was. He published his observations and many people became aware of them. Many people participated in the experiments where he divided a cohort of patients into 2 groups, a control and the test subjects. Only the people who treated the test subjects were required to wash the...

Epistemology

Humans have survived through knowledge gained through senses.  We have a sense of reality.  In our minds, we imagine reality to be something consistent with our sense of it.  This works pretty well until it doesn't. Exactly how our minds connect with reality remains a topic of strong disagreements.  The paradigm in which I matured into adulthood was typical of Western academia.  That is, consciousness is an epiphenomenon of the activity in the brain, which exists to propagate the species.  It seemed perfectly reasonable, even if the electrochemical activity was far from understood. For the purpose of explaining the foundations of my thinking, I will try to relate an experience that I had with a friend, Bruce, whom I believed could benefit from what I considered to be my scientifically informed understanding of what was real.  This happened in 1980, if memory serves.  My friend had what I believed were some obvious mental and emotional problems....

Of course, this is strictly my speculating ...

 Referring to the earlier post, "Is any of this false?" That sole letter was never publicized by Mallove, and it wasn't obvious why.  Both the lack of response to Issue #24 and that letter were a crushing blow that destroyed what had been a reasonable assumption that academia exists to improve the human condition. At the time, it was just one more quirky thing that would have seemed very improbable prior to moving to Bow, New Hampshire and working for Gene Mallove. Now, 27 years later, besides wishing that I had the letter, I feel that the reason for not publishing it is more apparent. When Gene worked at MIT, he had a direct feed of unlimited credibility, respectability and authority.  It was imbued into him.  It was identity and he probably never imagined needing to scramble for recognition ever again.  He'd been a real bright boy, from respected parents who performed very well at the best schools. The wind wasn't just taken out of his sails.  It was a si...

Is any of this false?

This anecdote must remain unverified because the only person with first-hand knowledge about it is me, as far as I know.  I have described it to a few friends, and posted it on Mills discussion groups. Dr. Gene Mallove was rightly proud of being an engineering graduate from MIT, and having been a professor there after obtaining his doctorate from Harvard.  It was a real honor to work with him, one that was easy to forget because he was easy going, although tended toward understandable manic behavior when he thought he was onto a hot story (which was often).  After almost two dozen issues of Infinite Energy Magazine were published, with a mountain of evidence about something with such paradigm shaking possibilities, he decided that issue #24 would be a blockbuster.  He obviously had his peers at MIT in mind when he assembled it.  I remember in detail how he sent via first class mail, a copy of that issue to every person at MIT for whom he had contact ...

The March runway incursion at Laguardia

 My comment on this video. https://youtu.be/TYhksHOiPio?si=kdCIBqEuoVTGECgo I have driven various vehicles on many US airfields.  At night, it is tough.  My training was to always coordinate with AT and then visually look for traffic when crossing runways because controllers make mistakes. Transponders on ground vehicles is a fine idea, but many times, the vehicles are privately owned.  Better to have a system that requires no competence from vehicle.  I chased a contractor's truck across an airfield after instructing him to wait for me while I chained a gate.  He ignored me.   I recall when ASDE (Airport Surface Detection Equipment) was first installed.  It failed often because it must distinguish between aircraft skin and ground (not sky).  Water in liquid or solid form reflects RF, thence targets fail to have contrast (bad S/N).  A much better system was proposed in an article in an IEEE journal: "RADAR on a chip" which has since...

Are There Quantum Jumps? revisited

Google has given the world a product that gives us a fine AI tool for making knowledge accessible to large numbers of relatively uneducated people.  It is Notebook LM. One of the most intriguing things about quantum mechanics after the 1926 paper of Erwin Schodinger was how he came to see it in retrospect.  He wrote about it in a chapter of a book, What is Life? .  The chapter is Are There Quantum Jumps?.   I wrote a series of 3 articles that were published in Infinite Energy Magazine .  This series was focuses on the work of Dr. Randell Mills and his SunCell reactor in view of Schrodinger's thoughts expressed in that chapter.  The man who told me about that chapter was Dr. Hawkins Kirk, a physics professor and researcher extraordinaire.  His influence did much to bring real science into focus for me during our years of working together to try to make sense of "cold fusion" related phenomena. Notebook LM accepts a variety of files types and uses them ...

Grok likes FAA drone flight checks

Image
This is my discussion with Grok on X, pertaining to the development of an FAA drone flight check system.  Grok seemed to like the idea a lot, and agreed with my estimated savings per year of about $100,000,000.  DOGE, unfortunately, has shown no interest.  YET.  I guess it's just too trivial of an expense for them.  My earlier post is found here .
