Deeper Look – Episode 52 (2017)

*** In the video below I made a pretty big error (must have misheard the General) – he tells a story and I thought it was about himself. Through some sleuthing with Vinny C we realized it was a story about someone else – albeit still 100% true. Sorry for that – when you hear the opening and the General’s 1967 story just remember he is telling a story that was told to him, NOT one that he lived himself, but it is still true, and it actually repeated itself in 1989 (which I didn’t find out until a few hours after making this video).

    Yea, it is nice that Love cares about “Government only trusting more government” and that kind of thinking is exactly what we don’t need. We need our private sector growing. I believe this government has overreached, spied, and controlled itself into a monster already. With logic like Mr. Love’s, nobody can feed people, house them, concentrate them in camps, give them medical coverage, student loans, and nobody can supply space weather information to the world like the government of an underdeveloped nation can is not phony baloney – it is pure baloney.

    Mr. Love was overly smiley when I handed him a paper written by another observer, he did not want to touch it (like it had the plague) and like he was a know it all and could never learn anything from reading anyone else’s work.

    When he went back to his seat in the audience, I saw his head bobbling up and down like a bobble-head doll (given out at a ball game) when another panelist mentioned America needed the help of the UN and other nations for space weather, and that America needed to fund other Nations for Space weather information. When the cameras were off of him, his true colors were revealed. He is a globalist and he hates America. Look closely at his suit lapel, in the photo with BEN: does anyone see an American flag PIN ON HIS SUIT? Is Mr. Love (who cares so much about America) ashamed OF OUR FLAG????

    EYES OPEN People. At all times!!!!!!

    Two questions arise here, When did America loose its nuts and become unable to do anything without the help of underdeveloped nations? Second: will throwing money at underdeveloped nations really get us better space weather information than our own systems can give us or will it just destroy us faster??????

          Or, as my mother noted, the truth shall set you free, but first it will piss you off. Excellent observations, Vinny. Ben, I LOVE you and your work, but you do have a bit too much faith in government. While you were becoming the Suspicious Observer in Chief I was playing politics, rubbing elbows with Karl Rove and his ilk. I am still trying to disinfect my elbows…

    So are the suspicious0bservers going to have a rendezvous point? If SHTF we need to come together as a community of like minded people. We cannot survive on our own individually. The only way we as a species have survived this, is as a community. Do we meet you in the new valley of the sun? just curious. All i think about is how we can do this, TOGETHER.

    Shawn,

    Absolutely: but it seems the Government’s definition of community is different than the population’s definition – or at least mine.
    The Government’s definition of community is NASA, NOAA, FEMA, the NSF,and the rest of the alphabet groups. We were all led to believe their definition aligned with the dictionary’s, but it obviously does not.

    My definition of community is neighbors, friends, people on the block, those we fellowship with, hang with, eat with, those with the same concerns, townsfolk, citizens, and all people worldwide. Since the ones we elected, and the ones they hired, did not want to work with the space weather community (US), then you are absolutely right.

    Deplorably yours forever

    Ben, While listening to the Admiral at SWEP Conference, I remember finding it confusing to follow the attributions of the “war stories” he relayed. I understood too, that sometimes he was speaking for/of himself and sometimes as representing the collective Air Force, but it was hard to keep up with his switching. The riveting talk was delivered rapid-fire.

      It was so great to see you there! I agree it was confusing to tell when he was talking about himself. He told that story RIGHT AFTER telling us about him flying B52s with nukes… I can’t wait for the re-posting so I can go back and watch for sure… I feel like I’ll either be utterly baffled or feel very silly 🙂

      Yes, and to keep you company Ben in the “feeling silly” circle, I mistakenly referred the the Major General as an Admiral.

    I’m looking forward to seeing these talks. Do we have an ETA on posting? I hope that you will be posting a link to the talks here once they are up. Thanks for attending Ben. Sounds like it was worth while!

    Most people refuse to believe they need to prepare for anything when everything is so readily available at any given time. What they don’t know is that anything should be prepared for because everything is readily available to create problems at any given time.
    I think preparedness would be a good second S0 community documentary paper. Follow the lead of the conference and there are plenty of paper ideas to be had. Kind regards

    They could release the free enrgy devices so we all can prep for 6 months out of energy supply..that would make so much more sense than throwing apocaliptic future views. I live in Spain and here the govt is pretty much against any self generating energy devices; it’s a bit strange. I got a question though..if we get some fuel generators, would the fuel be a problem, density wise or explosively like, if we get high % of whatever coems from the outside? I mean, if I manage to guard/keep safe some fuel (gas), likely underground, would it change the characterictics after such an event? Cause that could mean preparing certain changes at what fuel to use.
