Sign this petition for innovation

In the U.S., the military, access to space, energy, and mass-trans are all prohibitively expensive. The president can make great strides in reducing the cost of all of these endeavors using common sense engineering solutions. It is no coincidence that everything the govt. buys costs 100 times more than it should. The govt version of the old saying, "never give a sucker an even break" is "As a member of govt, I solemnly swear to shovel as much money back to my corporate campaign donors in the form of pork barrel govt. funded projects".
Perhaps the greatest achievements of our society, aside from everything else, is smart phones and they were only possible because of fantastic engineering at fantastically low costs. If the president can reduce the costs of these important endeavors by an order of magnitude, he will give the world nearly free green energy, great infrastructure, an affordable military, and he will usher in the civilian space age.
It has been 50+ years since the moon landing. It has been 75 yrs since our great grandfather's generation gave us jets, rockets, and nuclear energy and we remain jet-lagged, earth-bound, and dependent on primitive and expensive energy. For all the readers of this article who hate traffic jams, high taxes, and high energy costs, and have held fantasies of one day going into space, please sign this petition and send the link to your like minded friends.
Here's the thing about corporations who sell 'us' $800 hammers. When you send someone to Washington, it is like hiring a lawyer or anyone for that matter. You have an expectation that as their client, they will act in your best interest. That expectation is a metaphor for the temple, a place where there is a sacredness, the expectation of honorable behavior in a contract. When the people we have contracted to represent us in congress pay hundreds of billions in cost overruns or jet engines on outdated planes, they are stabbing citizens in the back to benefit them and their donors. They tell themselves its about jobs in their district. But then jobs that result in no benefit are questionable at best. Maybe they could dream up jobs that result in a benefit. Regardless, representatives who squander billions are like the money changers in the temple. They are people who go to Washington as if to represent their clients, but instead, just act as money changers in the temple. In deciding to sign this petition, you are agreeing to at least make the slightest effort to evict the money changers. This petition doesn't ask for a dime or any fundamental policy change, it only asks for the chance to present the case for far superior engineering solutions for the needs for which the government is already purchasing.

Help me help the president do for our infrastructure what the cheap microprocessor did for the information age. I ask that the president allow me to present the engineering arguments for greatly reducing the cost of all of these endeavors.The president can revolutionize our country and world by reducing the costs of these endeavors nearly 100-fold. Case in point, Hoover Dam could have been accomplished just by caving in the walls of the canyon. They could have done that and just handed those thousands of workers a check for three years labor and actually ended up with a better result as an earthen dam, as opposed to the current dam, is essentially immune to destruction by either earthquake or war.. But the president cannot manifest ten-fold returns on investment by listening to the deep state contractors who have given us billion dollar weapons, rockets, and infrastructure. Billion dollar rockets are useless but million dollar rockets we can use. Billion dollar weapons are unaffordable, especially when we can build million dollar weapons that are far more useful. And billion dollar infrastructure is why we have so little of it. If we build million dollar infrastructure, we can build a country worth living in and greatly improve the quality of life for everyone.

The Catholic Church

  As all can see, all organizations become single-minded in time. In the past, nearly every straight person got married and had kids. In that the church had a celibacy clause, it offered an easy, sheltered life with status, wealth, and comfort. It was a natural haven for people disinclined to the opposite sex or inclined to children. They then actively selected like minded individuals, just as we see in journalism and academia. So it is almost a given that the church is a gay organization that does in fact recruit straight people for the trenches to insulate their leaders and camouflage the organization to prevent its exposure. Of course, this may just be speculation, but it is not specious. Just the other day I was talking to a lesbian coworker who declared, unabashedly, that her community actively denies straights inclusion into the inner circle or club as it were, because of their perception that there are enough straights who are intolerant of their lifestyle such that elimination

If They can Kill Your Parents.......

They will almost certainly kill you. But before I elaborate, I must state, indisputably, that at no point and in no way am I accusing the NY, NJ, and MN governors of premeditated mass murder. Rather, I am asserting that lacking any rational and credible explanation to the contrary, the most likely motive for any person's actions is the anticipated results; not to be confused with the actual results. Since no governor has offered an alternative explanation for putting Wuhanic plaque patients into a population of the most vulnerable nursing home residents, it remains true that the most likely motive for their actions were the actual results, which are also the most anticipated results; the untimely and unnecessary deaths of thousands of elderly people. If in fact these governors are capable of, and did in fact, act with such viciousness, then it is incumbent on the victim's survivors to act. Short of a convincing explanation, if the survivors of NY and NJ nursing homes do not fi

$27 trillion questions

 In that our country's financial underpinnings are a runaway train, it needs to be asked, "What exactly is meant by the term 'national debt' and why must interest, determined by the private Federal Reserve (FR), be paid on it?" And the most important question is "where do those interest payments go?" The FR was created in 1913 whereby the ordinary functions of the Treasury were given to private bankers. They invented the concept that they would be, not only the controllers, but the source of our nation's finances. The way it works is, if the government spends more than it takes in, the FR would 'loan' the govt money by printing it into existence and thereafter, the govt would be required to pay 'interest' on the 'loan' ad infinitum and that interest rate would be set by the FR. The explanation for this arrangement was that the FR was needed to regulate the availability of money to spur or retard the rate of growth to control i
