You Don't Say - "Maunder Minimum"

Britain in 20 years according to the original leaked Pentagon Report.

The day is going to come when they will beg for a Maunder Minimum. 

I have a strong suspicion from years of reading on the subject that this is the first 120 year wave at the start of a Grand Minimum. Robert Felix agrees.

Would you believe the analysis that these guys now concede is a certainty when we had the same up on Vault-Co over 12 years ago? We have moved on to better arguments since then. These poor lads in the mass media are just dabbling their toes at the edge of the ocean.

P.S. If the Nobel committee doesn't give Robert Felix and Jim Penman Nobel prizes during my lifetime I figure the whole institution is worthless and should be shut down. It no longer serves any purpose other than political agendas.

Windows NT Embedded Book

I have been eagerly waiting on this book to arrive. Got it tonight.

Okay, imagine Windows NT. Except imagine it like this:

1. Rock solid. Never crashes. Can be set up to write nothing to hard disk except where directed.
2. Minimal installation in 8 megabytes where needed.
3. Fully compliant HTML5 browser with CrazyBrowser installed, can be set to launch VOS Server and browser at startup. VOS can run as a service in the background.
4. Full access to Parallel, Serial and USB devices with cross-platform code.
5. Supports PDF readers and other media viewers that may come in handy for Memex in VOS.
6. All convenient Windows API available including true pre-emptive threading.
7. Fully patched and debugged after two decades of testing in the field.
8. Support for USB, Fat-32 and other peripherals including cheap plug'n'play cameras.
9. Full support for dumb terminals, monochrome display on Hercules cards and ASCII serial keyboards.

Some reports of NT Embedded running for six years uninterrupted in kiosks and public ATMs when configured correctly.

First version of VOS is coming out this year, guaranteed. I am starting to think Microsoft's abandonware is the OS for the Vault of the Future. Honestly.

Maxwell NED - Nuclear Event Detector

I confess this is the first time I have heard about these.

If anybody knows of any surplus electronics supply house that might be able to ship to Australia, please let me know.

I know how to reproduce these with lightning detector circuits but this is apparently hardened against radiation so it could survive in a sensor post aboveground.

Detroit 1920's

Some amazing things can be seen by a man with a keen eye in this single photograph.

The streets are amazingly flat, even and clean. This is a familiar sight in older photographs of cities. It looks like the thoroughfare in Disney's Heritage U.S.A. park.

See the mass transit systems swiftly taking people via trolleys to any part they want to go. No people standing for an hour waiting for dirty diesel buses driven by scowling idiots. Jump on the running board  and show your travel ticket. Back in these days they didn't nickel and dime people, a different color each month and anyone could ride anywhere.

Notice how well dressed and groomed everybody is. Nobody with pants around their knees or teenage moms covered in tattoos to be seen. Women and men in hats outdoors. Attention to personal detail, hygiene and grooming reflecting greater deals of overall conscientiousness. Bet you everybody down there smells like rosewater and lime, too.

Huge amounts of neon signs. City must be beautiful at night. Imagine the electricity demands you are looking at for the trolleys and the neon everywhere. Yet the records clearly show fewer power shortages and brownouts than are common today in most of America. People did their jobs. Things ran on time. The guys who ran the hydroelectric dams did not consider downtime to be acceptable, period.

Look at the art-deco beauty of every single thing in the frame. Nothing appears to be less than meticulously manufactured and crafted with an eye for elegance, soothing symmetry and curved forms. No Bauhaus pillboxes or grotesque jarring architecture to be seen. The whole environment appears customized for its effect on the observer to produce a pleasant harmony in the surroundings. To the left the wide, flat clean concrete piazza with plenty of space for people not as "human resources," but as "personnel" they called those who worked in the city.

This photo was not posed or set up as anything but to document and what is captured here is a surreal beauty in all things that is possibly the most remarkable civilisation that we know of. The ancient Sumerians built their cities to edify the rulers … this one seems to aspire to edify the inhabitants.

When Winnarz Win : A Kwanstainian Adventure

Chickens prepare to return home to roost.

The wild whacky dreamworld of globalism and fiat paper currency was sold through Hollywood and the mass media first to the American people and then to the whole planet which believed the lie because the United States was formerly the freest and most successful country in the history of mankind. People everywhere figured they must know what they are talking about.

The manufacturers of these lies knew they were trading on America's wealth and reputation to spread gibberish that not a single one of the Founding Fathers was ever dumb enough to believe a single tenet of. Without this credibility by association they would have never spread this toxic drivel worldwide.

Engineering total madness in the population. It leaves them completely unfit for any kind of productive work at all.

Success engineers the conditions for its own destruction. Manboons are not a learning animal and all this has happened before. This vicious cycle can never end because Sapiens will never change.

Soros gloats in this article which is essentially extended innuendo for other members of the NWO about how chaotic the entire planet has become. Robert Kaplan was right. Soros knows perfectly well there is not going to be a "partnership" between America and China. The Chinese know there is no room for two tigers on the mountain.

If you're paying attention, you will see that authorities are always encouraging evacuation and migration, the surest ways to end up dying tired. I can't think of a dumber strategy than hitting the open road during a nuclear war but Americans believe all problems can be solved using their cars. The first 100 rads leave you pleasantly nauseous and giddy but when the next 300 rads soak in you'll start to understand what is wrong with this idea.

The wise always packeth thine rice. Get a vault or work on getting one. There are no other options.

WW3 : PACK YOUR RICE

Donald Trump is an insider with direct access to conclusions we drew by inference. He might not have figured it out by himself but he has heard it behind closed doors.

Trump confirmed publicly that every single wild assertion we've made on Vault-Co is correct.

The U.S. "nuclear force" is a joke. Half these weapons would never make it off the launchpad.

Those missile defense systems the United States is murmuring about all the time were great technology... back in the late 80's.

The "Star Wars" system that Ronald Reagan hypothesized never came to fruition ... except in Russia.

This is the third World War approaching ... not the second. This one will target civilians, not militaries. More people will die in the first twenty minutes of WW3 than previously died in all wars combined over the past 2000 years.

I will get Vault-OS up in open source this year if it is the last thing I do. I promise. It will help a lot, you'll see. Inventory is going to be the main use for 75% of the people who download it, you'll see it will be an incredibly streamlined system for small shelters and families. I was hooking in the product lookup database last night such that a scan by a CueCat will hopefully automatically identify the product and prepopulate the entry form without touching a button. I am calling this scrolling inventory check-in screen the "Bulk Buster" intended to be used very rapidly on incoming food right from the grocery bag. I do have the CueCat working from a browser, it is a brilliant device no joke. I got the one I am using now for $12 off EBay and it outperforms barcode readers that cost hundreds of dollars.

Commie Agitprop "TomorrowLand" Megabomb

Don't waste your money on this thing. It's absolutely terrible.

I can't understand how somebody can afford to dump nearly 500 million dollars on barefaced politically motivated propaganda. That's some serious ducks down the drain there.

This turkey is in "Howard the Duck" territory. I completely lost interest about 8 minutes into the film after the opening sequence at which point the whole film went nowhere.

As communists often do, pretends to be dismayed at the fact that our optimistic future never arrived, failing to note that the reason we don't live in it is that they deliberately blocked it from happening and called it progressive.

The United States should be powered by cheap, safe, pollution-free nuclear power. Commies kept throwing themselves under trucks and trains until that possibility ended. Our world is a series of blocked initiatives by socialist ratbags for whom envy is the strongest emotion of all, particularly of anybody better than them at anything. The world we live in is the lowest common denominator of progress permitted by Marx's zombies, who believe that a desire to improve your conditions is a sin and that poverty is the only way to prove you have no ulterior motives. Right. Of course, the most influential of them are always millionaires … no doubt the reward of virtue, you see.

Well, now they're 500 million dollars down proving they are better than everybody else because of their extra-special redefinitions of right and wrong. That's a hefty price to pay for vanity.

Three Card Monte Dealers With Stethoscopes

"It is simply no longer possible to believe much of the clinical research that is published, or to rely on the judgment of trusted physicians or authoritative medical guidelines. I take no pleasure in this conclusion, which I reached slowly and reluctantly over my two decades as an editor of The New England Journal of Medicine."

New Madrid Fault Starting Up Again?

Alabama residents have been badly shaken by a series of mysterious earthquakes.

If it went the same time as Yellowstone, that would be an extra-special fun year right there.
