SAYING: HI!
juttafranz: Hi! Everybody!
missnaranjahit: Hi Carl, Hi Franz.
juttafranz: I have a brief introduction --
not quite so short -- and then
we could discuss fervently.
carlzim: Hi Franz, Jutta, Stella.
juttafranz: Hi! Jutta!!
carlzim: Proceed, Franz.
missnaranjahit: Ok please let's start. Is Jutta
here`? I don't see her.

and Franz.

jutta_schmitt2002: Hello Carl, good to see
you! - Okay, I am ready,

carlzim: Proceed, Franz.
missnaranjahit: Franz please begin! I am ready.
jutta_schmitt2002: All settled for your introduction.
THE INTRODUCTION
juttafranz: Folks, just some general comments
and remarks before
we get down to critical critique. To cure a
patient in the loony bin,
you need a psychiatrist, and not a CEO, similarly,
to analyse the pathology of the
$US you have to be an expert in political economy,
and not in sex tourism. Each level and degree
of human essence and existence has
its own logic, expression and cure. Mixing up things,
like in ideology, or newspeak, or CNN news,
may very well end up
with disinformation, ignorance and a total
mental holocaust.
juttafranz: In the same way that we thank
archaic hieroglyphics for having originated
the modern American language today, similarly,
thanks to Adam Smith's national economy that
we have neo-liberalism, thus also,
historic thanks to Marx, Engels, Lenin, Rosa Luxemburg, Bucharin, Kautsky,
Hilferding and Mandel that we
can enjoy "obsolete" political economy and economic politics today, brought
"up-to-date"
with which we can precisely analyse the real,
true, current grimace of contemporary
global fascism.
jutta_schmitt2002: If Iris was here, she
would have given us a lecture
on the "up-to-dateness" of Adam Smith, Franz.
juttafranz: I'll post slowly, to enable
you to read, because the stuff is unusual and
somehow complicated.
missnaranjahit: Oh yes, she gladly would
do this Jutta.
jutta_schmitt2002: (Iris, we hereby salute
you, and your special
friend, Adam Smith!)
jutta_schmitt2002: Okay Franz.
missnaranjahit: *Salud*
juttafranz:
Just to give an example, apart from predicting
this global barbarism
already a century-and-a-half ago, in Capital
Marx inter alia explained
the developmental laws of capitalism as follows:
1. the concentration
and centralization of capital; 2. the progressive
proletarianization of
the working population; 3. the growth in the
dualistic organic
composition of constant and variable capital
-- the former gets more complex,
computers, etc; the latter alone produces surplus value);
4. the global tendency of the average rate
of profit to decline; 5. and,
the global objective socialization of production.
Believe it or not, on
all scores, historically, he got "A" grades.
juttafranz: Read the above carefully.
jutta_schmitt2002: Franz, even Newsweek
recognizes the historic,
politico-economic magnitude of Marx. A grades on all fronts.
juttafranz: Those that say that Marx is
obsolete, probably never ever
had Capital, Volume I, in their hands.
missnaranjahit: 3. Point I do not understand,
please explain constant / variable
capital, thanks.
juttafranz: Just now, in the debate, we'll
explain all this, Stella!
missnaranjahit: Ok Franz.
juttafranz:
Concerning No. 1, Corporate America proves
his prediction to the
hilt; No.2, one must be as blind as an Orwell
zombie, not to see the
progressive, geometric growth of pauperization
of more than 80%
of the world's working population, especially
in the Mideast, Africa,
Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean and Oceania.
jutta_schmitt2002: (Constant capital =
machinery, buildings, technology,
natural ressources.
Variable capital = living labour force =
salaries.)
missnaranjahit: Thank you Jutta!
juttafranz: Yes, Jutta, it's coming.
jutta_schmitt2002: Okay, please proceed,
Franz.
juttafranz:
No. 3 & 5, just study the relations of
physical and intellectual labour,
social property and production today, and we'll
see -- although he
foresaw everything -- what Marx in his wildest
dreams could not
imagine; No. 4, where are the good old days
when the Dutch East
India Company annually was still making 500%
profits?
juttafranz:
These days, a corporation has to be happy if
the world average is
10% : in the USA, "at the macro level, figures
show that since 1997 profits as a
proportion of GDP have steadily declined." (Nick Beams) Also: "According
to
the US economist Fred Moseley, the rate of profit
fell from 22 percent in the late 1940s to 12
percent in the mid-1970s
— a decline of almost 50 percent." Thus, the
rate of decline of profits
is at the same time the decline of capital
accumulation, the demise
of the system itself. (See: [Marx, Capital,
Volume III, pp. 253-254]
jutta_schmitt2002: Which also proves the
law about the rising organic
composition of capital, Franz: With ever more technology and
ever less living labour force employed, the
profit rate tends to fall inexorably.
carlzim: Adjustments as intellectual labor
becomes predominant, and galactic
replaces global economy.
juttafranz: D'accord, Jutta.
juttafranz:
On what is the US $ based? "With imports exceeding
exports by
about one third, the US has been running a
balance of payments
deficit of more than 4 percent of gross domestic
product,
requiring a foreign capital inflow of more
than $1 billion a day to
finance it." (Beams)
missnaranjahit: Jutta, why is technology
constant capital, could it not be
developed further?
jutta_schmitt2002: (Don't forget, an ever
smaller percentage of the worlds
working population is being employed by the few, gigantic
corporations that "own it all", so to speak.)
juttafranz: Before I continue, Jutta, please
answer Stella's question.
jutta_schmitt2002: It is a "constant" with
regard to the financial calculation,
Stella, within a given production circle.
jutta_schmitt2002: Has to do with the "Amortisierungsperiode
des fixen Kapitals".
jutta_schmitt2002: Amortisation period
of the constant capital.
missnaranjahit: Ok Jutta.
juttafranz: Now, concerning our central
topic:
What is happening with the $US currency vis-a-vis
the Euro?
It takes on "Third World" dimensions, "long-time
Australian
economics analyst Max Walsh commented in an
article in the
Bulletin magazine of June 4 that while the US dollar was anywhere between
15 and 30 percent overvalued ...." (Beams).
carlzim: Participation in a viable market
ensures against poverty.
Today only a few participate in a viable market.
juttafranz: Yes, Carl, it's part of the
problem.
jutta_schmitt2002: And the question is,
what is a "viable market", Carl.
Viable for whom?
juttafranz: For Bill & Bill, for the
bills of $, Jutta.
jutta_schmitt2002: Okay, Franz. Please
continue.
juttafranz:
Of course, this all, including the corrupt
Enron collapse, can only be
understood "by examining it within the context
of the historical
development of the capitalist economy, in particular
the post-World
War II period." (Beams). After enjoying a "boom",
in the last 25 years,
starting with the global recession of 1974-75, profit rates are
estimated to be around half what they were
in the earlier period,
living standards have remained stagnant or
even declined and unemployment
has been higher." (Beams)
carlzim: Viable for the super-rich.
jutta_schmitt2002: Agreed, Carl. That may
be a couple of hundred persons
on the planet, or less, vis -a vis 6 billion.
juttafranz:
The politico-economic-social essence, the Damocles
Sword hovering
above the fascist global system, he described
as follows:
"Under this system, production is not carried
out to increase social wealth
or meet social needs, but to expand capital through the
accumulation of profit. This process takes
place from capitalism’s
birth until its death. The crucial issue, which
determines its state of health in
any period, is the rate at which this accumulation occurs.
That is, in the final analysis, the 'breathing'
of the capitalist
economy, the business cycle, expresses the
rate at which this accumulation,
indicated by the rate of profit, is taking
place."
jutta_schmitt2002: Nick Beams uses quite
a lively metaphor here, Franz.
juttafranz: Yes, Jutta.
juttafranz:
Concerning the tendential laws mentioned above,
and the problems of
manual and intellectual laber today, Beams
explains:
"this increase in the productivity of labour
has a contradictory impact
on the rate of profit. To the extent that increased
labour productivity drives
labour out of the process of production it tends to lessen the
mass of surplus value and depress the profit
rate. However, to the
extent that increased labour productivity enables
increased
extraction of surplus value from those workers
remaining in the production
process, it tends to increase the mass of surplus value, leading to expanded
capital accumulation."
jutta_schmitt2002: Yes - that is, what
profit production is all about. Producing
profits in the first place - forget about the "necessity
myth".
juttafranz: Agreed, and now to conclude
....
juttafranz:
Finally, labour production, capitalist production
is approximating
its limits, its omega of concentration and
expansion. The brutal
subordination of the production of Croesusian
wealth to the
extraction of private profit has now reached
such an advanced,
corrupt state of decay that "democratic" electoral
fraud and reckless
deception have become its fascist global, militarized modus operandi.
juttafranz: Yes, global politics and economics
are corrupt, fraudulent, theft,
genocide and holocaust, all in one, the Unomnia of our Global Armageddon!
That's all folks!!!
carlzim: Great introduction, Franz.
jutta_schmitt2002: Thanks for your introduction,
Franz. Condensed,
cand ontaining a LOT of problems!
THE GENERAL DEBATE BEGINS ....
carlzim: I have a long message.
carlzim: European Union Enlargement to
Take Place by 2004
Weekend News Today Lead: Rebekah (email)
Source: EU Observer
Tue Jun 18,2002 -- The EU heads of state
are to decide at the Seville
summit later this week the exact date of the
enlargement, amid
contradictory interpretations by EU states
and candidates of the promise
for the candidate countries to join EU in 2004.
A top European Commission
official said on Monday that it is highly unlikely
that the EU states
agree to accession on January 1; enlargement
will happen in the summer of 2004.
carlzim: This will be the only aspect of
enlargement the EU leaders will
discuss at Seville, as they will refuse to
enter negotiations over
granting direct payments for farmers of the
future EU countries, which
would bring the summit to a deadlock. Talks
on direct aid are currently
blocked due to resistance by Germany, the Netherlands
and Sweden to
granting subsidies to new countries' farmers.
jutta_schmitt2002: Okay, go ahead, Carl.
missnaranjahit: Thanks for the intro Franz.
I have to admit that I have
nearly zero insight in economy.
juttafranz: Stella, your first political
economy classes have begun, ask
your questions now!
carlzim: The EU heads of State are to
decide whether up to ten candidate countries
will join on January 1st
2004, as candidates hope, or by the summer
of 2004, as many EU countries
plan. "It would be a total surprise for me
if the EU countries agreed with
letting the candidates in as of January 1st,"
a top official of the
European Commission said. "It would be a good
surprise, but I think it is
almost impossible," he added. The EU leaders
committed themselves at the
Göteborg summit in June 2001 to the candidates
participating in the
European Parliament elections as full members.
The elections are set to
take place in June 2004, so an accession ...
missnaranjahit: I noticed that Franz.
jutta_schmitt2002: Stella, I will just
now try to make a summary. Let
Carl proceed with his introduction.
jutta_schmitt2002: Continue, Carl.
carlzim:... before the summer is
unlikely, as
it has never been promised.
carlzim: The Spanish presidency has proposed,
in a
report for the EU heads of state in Seville,
that accession Treaties with
the ten candidates be signed in March 2003,
"thus making it possible the
entry into force by January 2004." However,
a majority of EU states are
likely to oppose this promise. "For us, accession
of candidates was always
planned for the summer 2004, and not before,"
a French diplomat told the
EUobserver on Monday.
carlzim: Amid tense negotiations on agriculture
and fears the
negotiations' timetable could be delayed if
no agreement is reached on
time, and if EU states do not show flexibility,
candidates would have no
choice but to accept the accession date the
Summit in Seville will give
them. The ten countries which are eligible
for accession in 2004 are the
Czech Republic, Cyprus, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia,
Lithuania, Malta,
Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia.
carlzim: Comment, please.
juttafranz: Jutta & Stella, your comments,
please!
jutta_schmitt2002: Thanks, Carl - the (roughly)
"Eastern Expansion"
of the EU. - Here is where, in the mid and long term, the
"economic rivalry scenario" will gain momentum.
The EU has been
emerging (and will continue doing so) as an economic rival to the
US; which the latter one has, ever since the
breakdown of the Soviet
Union, tried to "contain" with different moves.
carlzim: Agreed, Jutta.
carlzim: From a German contact on a forum:
"This is a growing situation that
more and more is presently coming to light.
Our Central bank has been
bankrolling the American expansion cost for
some time now, after the banks
in Japan begin withdrawing finances from bad
investments in the US. Their
was then created a vacuum for investment, our
banks then filled in the
empty spaces for them (American investment
houses).
carlzim: The EU heads of state are to
decide whether up to ten candidate countries
will join on January 1st
2004, as candidates hope, or by the summer
of 2004, as many EU countries
plan. "It would be a total surprise for me
if the EU countries agreed with
letting the candidates in as of January 1st,"
a top official of the
European Commission said. "It would be a good
surprise, but I think it is
almost impossible," he added. The EU leaders
committed themselves at the
Göteborg summit in June 2001 to the candidates
participating in the
European Parliament elections as full members.
The elections are set to
take place in June 2004, so an accession ...
jutta_schmitt2002: The post WWII order,
characterized by sort of an
"equilibrium" of the internationally operating capitalist system,
has collapsed with the breakdown of the Soviet
Union and given way to
an entirely different, highly instable structure. This has to do
with various factors, which I will resume as
follows. ...
juttafranz: Carl, due to this "European
Union Enlargement to Take Place
by 2004", obviously, the "greatest terrorist danger" for the
American "war economy", for the over-production
of dangerous weapons
of mass destruction, is coming. In the end, corresponding
to the global economic development, the two
Titans will face each other.
Surely, on the battle-field, but much more in the
transvolutionary creative "War of the Galaxies".
carlzim: Now the payment schedule is due,
and where are they going to get the
payment money? Credit is a wonder thing of
fantasy, but, it is made of
nothing and is worth nothing. The bills are
coming due and no payment is
forthcoming.
carlzim: Yes, it is true, our euro is based
upon real production value of gross
national worth. We scream and complain over
a 2% increase of inflation,
but, we work harder to out put more product
to pay for this increase. Now,
are we being required to shoulder the American
debt on top of our home
troubles? I for one hope not. We have an election
due this September and
with this, will be our fortunes."
Yes, it is true, our euro is based upon
real production value of gross
national worth. We scream and complain over
a 2% increase of inflation,
but, we work harder to out put more product
to pay for this increase. Now,
are we being required to shoulder the American
debt on top of our home
troubles? I for one hope not. We have an election
due this September and
with this, will be our fortune."
carlzim: Good point, Franz.
jutta_schmitt2002: We have repeatedly stated,
that we are witnessing in our
("post-Soviet") times, how an extended phase of the
labour process, where the exploitation of natural
ressources and physical labour
force had dominated, has come to an end and given
way to a different, increasingly prevailing
structure, where the exploitation of
social ressources and intellectual labour force is
dominating. Brought about by profit production
and accelerated by ever more
rapidly renewing technological revolutions under the
wip of the still remaining competition, we
find ourselves in a peculiar transitional
period - with peculiar economic, political and social
problems - , towards what we have called "post-production"
or "creation" ....
jutta_schmitt2002: The peculiarity of these
economic, political and social
problems consists in their having a literally global impact,
and occuring with a never before seen magnitude,
manifesting themselves
in one, big, economic, political, social (and natural =
environmental) crisis, expression of the limits
of unbound international
profit production or the "system as such", the autodestructive
tendencies of which have come to openly manifest
themselves.
juttafranz: It's strange indeed that Europe
which had its ravaging, raping
turn should appear as a totality on the global battle-field again
-- one would have thought that a new dynasty
would come -- perhaps the
Yangtse-Kiang Fu Manchu -- but, it seems that this will
not be so.
jutta_schmitt2002: In the past decade (after
the collapse of the Soviet Union),
as I said, the temporary, economic and political
"equilibrium" of the internationally operating
capitalist profit system collapsed,
especially in the wake of the constant revolutioning of
the production process with new, globally expanding
technologies that gave rise
to the "new economy" and new demands for the
effective internationalization of capital flows.
The entire international financial
system grew increasingly instable and culminated in the
infamous "Asian Crisis".
carlzim: China=new Fu Manchu
juttafranz: But, it is not so much Europe,
it is Germany, looking for the Fifth
Reich, after the USA one has vanished. It has reichlich
experience in such things.
carlzim: On Asian TV channel-Demobilized
Chinese troops form businesses
before they remove their uniforms.
jutta_schmitt2002: What concerns the USA,
in the decade of the 90's, its
external debt was constantly growing, reaching 2.19 trillion
dollar by the end of the year 2000, and 2.60
trillion one year later, equalling 22
percent of the gross domestic product. This, in turn,
equals two thirds of the worlds capital compromised
in the US. In barely a decade,
the US has become the world's largest debtor
nation. In addition, its trade deficit requires
a capital input of 1 trillion dollars
daily in order to finance its deficit of balance of
payments.
carlzim: Members of tangs (Chinese mafias).
juttafranz: Well, the poor $, Jutta!
jutta_schmitt2002: The underlying problem
of the entire, international economic
and financial spectrum has to do with a discrepancy
between capital growth from strictly financial
operations and capital growth from
a real increase in productivity, expressed in terms of
the real surplus value obtained from the ever
scarcer, living labour force ---
what Franz noted in his introduction. Finance capital
represents an "anticipating grip" on surplus
value that is yet to be obtained,
and does not reflect the real productive reality (measured
in the growth of the gross domestic product).
juttafranz: In God's Virtuality We Trust
-- In Fake Equations & Statistics!
carlzim: Folks:
After chat, listen to the Diane Rehm talk show
on USA National Public
Radio (NPR) using RealPlayer. Great alternative discussion
of major current issues:
http://www.publicradiofan.com/cgi-bin/program.pl?programid=31
juttafranz: Continue, Jutta, reading ....
jutta_schmitt2002: Thanks Carl, we'll give
it a try (does not function very
well with my computer) ...
carlzim: Folks: After chat-For the photos
and discussion, visit the Flight
Simulator Forum, Good Kill Bar Grill folder, Something Very
Interesting thread at:
http://forums.delphiforums.com/flight/messages
juttafranz: Now, just imagine, Jutta, if
the rate of accumulation of surplus
value, of profits, approximate zero soon, and then?
carlzim: "Many of you know that a few weeks
back our Government
arrested one Jose
Padilla because they believed he was attempting
to commit a terrorist act
in America using a "dirty Bomb" (conventional
nuke of sorts) below is a
picture of (him the drawing to the left is
a police
sketch taken from dozens of witnesses immediately
following the Oklahoma
City Fed building bombing; these witnesses
reported seeing the man in the
drawing before and after the bombing in the
company of one Timothy
Mcveigh.
jutta_schmitt2002: The big corporations
themselves are getting ever more
dependent on the operations of financial capital (flow of
funds into the market, speculation) in order
to maintain their profits, rather
than obtaining their profits from real growth - extraction of
surplus value from the living labour force,
which is increasingly difficult
because of the overall diminishing of the labour force
employed (see above), and the increased technologization
of the production
process itself, due to its specific, "internal dynamics".
carlzim: I would venture to say that "there
is a strong resemblance" is a complete
understatement, if this ...is the guy in the
drawing (the middle eastern
man people reported seeing with Mcveigh), then
we have an Al Qaeda
connection to the Oklahoma City bombing which
possibly makes the WTC
attack the 2nd (or even 3rd) attack by Al Qaeda
terrorists within the
United States borders."
jutta_schmitt2002: On an international
scale, the entire structure of the
financial market is comparable to an improportionate mass of
"virtual capital" resting on a rather small
basis of real surplus value, which
gives rise to an explosive instablitiy, as financial capital is
volatile and moves from one market to the other.
And, of course, with ever
less real surplus value obtained from the ever decreasing,
living labour force employed, accumulation
perspectives are rather dim, Franz.
juttafranz: OK, complete your arguments,
Jutta, and then, we could look at
my question above: "Now, just imagine, Jutta, if the rate
of accumulation of surplus value, of profits,
approximates zero soon, and then?
jutta_schmitt2002: Read back, Franz.
carlzim: For galactic economy--Planetary
ystem that Resembles Ours-from
a forum:
"After spotting dozens of planets in exotic
orbits, scientists have found a
planetary system with a familiar look.The announcement
came as astronomers
described the discovery of 15 new planets in
other star systems, including
one similar to Jupiter around a sun-like star.Known
as 55 Cancri, the star
system is about 41 light years away and will
likely remain a place of
particular interest as astronomers begin to
look for planets like Earth in
the coming years."
juttafranz: Well, with your last posting,
you said it; in fact, the $ lives in that
world already -- soon everybody will enter a global
economic virtual order.
carlzim: Franz, it won't be zero.
juttafranz: Why, Carl?
carlzim: Real galactic order.
carlzim: We have the technology.
juttafranz: Space travel, discovery and
colonization, Tesla Technology, Carl?
jutta_schmitt2002: Carl, with the USA facing,
as other nations do, too,
the world economic crisis, dim perspectives for capital
accumulation, a probable devaluation of its
currency, a rather strong
competitor emerging on the international market and "expanding
eastward" (EU, see your messages above), and
with growing internal
problems (unemployment, layoffs, cut backs in social spending)
- don't you think, that much of the fuss that
is being made about supposed
new terrorist threats in the form of "José Padillas", is just a
tactical manouvre in order to divert the attention
of the American Public
from the REAL problems the USA are facing?
carlzim: e.g., produce industrial diamonds
on Uranus for zilch cost.
juttafranz: Carl, "WE"? Then, what are
you and I still doing here in
doomed virtual reality?
carlzim: By we, I meant developed world.
juttafranz: Jutta, in brief, what is the
"real problem" of the USA?
juttafranz: Ok, Carl -- just "pulling your
leg"!
jutta_schmitt2002: Would, if the American
Public was aware of the
REAL problems their country is facing, not withdraw support
from the current administration, if it was
not for the "war against
terrorism frenzy", that psychologically conditions people to "stand
united" behind an otherwise completely inefficient
government?
juttafranz: Ok, it's clear, Jutta.
jutta_schmitt2002: Franz: In brief, the
REAL problem of the USA,
as well as of any other nation or better, nationally based but
internationally operating corporations, is
stagnating capital accumuluation.
The remedy: WORLD WAR III!
carlzim: From a forum:
"…there could be an Earth like planet in
orbit around this star with abundent life
but a technological culture like ours, so close
to our own system seems
out of the question. Mammals as well as humans
owe their existence to the
asteriod impact 65 million years ago that set
the stage for new kinds of
life to emerge. The whole history of the development
of humans as a
technological culture and species has so many
millions of twists and turns
that civilizations like ours and more advanced
then ours must be very few
and far between in the universe.
juttafranz: And, now, what next? Till now,
capitalist production overcame
its mortal contradictions, will it outlive this one?
jutta_schmitt2002: WORLD WAR III as a formidable
means of destruction
of capital and labour.
carlzim:
If we do manage to find a water planet with
oxygen and life in this
system, getting at least a robot probe there
is not difficult. No, we
don't have warp drive or even fusion powered
craft, let alone
the technology to even build or test a fusion
reactor. We do have a
concept that was deloped in the 1950s called
Orion. This is a
way to accelerate a package to a respectable
percentage of the speed of
light. The Orion spacecraft consists of the
payload, the fuel supply, 2
or 3 huge shock absorbers (each as big as a
Saturn rocket) and a huge,
thick, hemispherical steel plate at the rear
of the craft. This craft
uses nuclear bombs for propulsion.
carlzim: Bombs in the 10 to 15 KT range
are
fired out a tube running down the ship through
the big steel plate. The
bombs are then exploded a few dozen meters
behind the plate. about one
ever 2 or 3 seconds. The explosions push the
spacecraft forward.
Calculations put this as being able to drive
the spacecraft at 20 to 30
percent of the speed of light.
carlzim: This could get a probe out to
this star
system in about 120 or so years, plus add another
41 years to receive the
data gathered by the probe. If it turns out
this is a habitable planet
then it is money in the bank, a sort of retirement
account that we can't
touch until our technology allows massive colony
ships to be built to
actually colonize such a world."
juttafranz: Yes, but Capitalism, Labour,
in doing this, is commiting hara-kiri.
jutta_schmitt2002: Franz and Carl, I think
in 1998, a private entrepreneur
claimed posession of an asteroide - the first step of
"privatizing space"! Perhaps, capitalism in
the sense of profit production still
does have a lease of life, if it goes galactical?
juttafranz: It seems that the Japanese
"human-bombs" , the Mideast ones
and the Twin Tower ones, are all just premonitions,
forebodes of the coming, total collapse, the
total "eclipse of reason".
carlzim: No Hara-Kari-beaming closer to
reality--Scientists Claim Teleporting
Success-from a forum:
"Weekend News Today Lead: Rebekah (email)
Source: CNN
Tue Jun 18,2002 -- A team of physicists
at the Australian National
University (ANU) announced on Monday they had
successfully disembodied a
laser beam in one location and rebuilt it in
a different spot about one
meter away in the blink of an eye. Project
leader Dr. Ping Koy Lam said
there was a close resemblance between what
his team had achieved and the
movement of people in the science fiction series
Star Trek but reality was
still light years off beaming human beings
between locations. "In theory
there is nothing stopping us from doing it
but the complexity of the
problem is so huge that no one is thinking
seriously about it at the moment. "
juttafranz: And now, even the $, with all
the trust in divinity, is fading into
corrupt Enron oblivion.
jutta_schmitt2002: Carl, remember the outstanding
film "The Fly" (Jeff
Goldblum version)!
carlzim: Lam told a news conference. However
Lam said science was not too
far from being able to teleport solid matter
from one location to another.
"My prediction is...it will probably be done
by someone in the next three
to five years, that is the teleportation of
a single atom," said Lam, who
has worked on teleporting since 1997. But he
said humans posed a
near-impossible task as we are made up of zillions
of atoms -- quantified
by a one with 27 zeroes -- so forget Star Trek
where the Starship
Enterprise crew step into a transporter, vaporise,
then re-assemble
elsewhere.
carlzim: Yep, Jutta
carlzim: The laser beam was destroyed during
teleporting which is
achieved using a process known as quantum entanglement.
However the
breakthrough opens up enormous possibilities
for future super-fast and
super-secure communications systems, such as
quantum computers over the
next decade."
juttafranz: Carl, will that era ever materialize,
taking into consideration
the current rapid putrefaction and decay of humanity as a
species?
jutta_schmitt2002: Teleporting solid matter
from one location to another,
imagine the chaos, Carl - reminds me of "teletransporting
abstract matter" (capital) from one market
to another and subsequent chaos
on the financial markets....
carlzim: It will happen, Franz.
jutta_schmitt2002: I'm sorry to realize
that Scottie will never be able to
"beam us up", Carl.
carlzim: Jutta, no chaos with lasers.
juttafranz: Then, it has to happen very
soon, within years, else as the
Germans say: "Der Ofen ist aus!"
carlzim: Ja, Franz.
carlzim: Und morgen die ganze universe.
missnaranjahit: Carl as far as I know they
reportet about teleportation
of single Light quantums two years ago (this was in Scientific
American).
jutta_schmitt2002: Stella, I think I remember
that article - you sent it to us,
it must still be somewhere in the depth of our archives ...
juttafranz: In any case, this galactic
rendezvous will only be for the remaining,
cloned elites; Ali, Bin, Moselekatse, Vitzli, all will be
stone-dead soon; the first graves are already
in Afghanistan.
juttafranz: Or do you think that anybody
else would have a chance of galactic
"survival", Carl?
jutta_schmitt2002: Agreed, Franz. For us,
the lumpenproletariat of the planet,
"ist der Ofen aus". If any, the "Aphas" and "Omegas"
will take over.
juttafranz: Stella, I did not know that
you were so bright and brilliant, we will
teleport your photons and light quantums to Venus
soon!
missnaranjahit: I am neither bright nor
brilliant, and I don't want to go to Venus,
teleport me to SanOnofre and it will be ok.
carlzim: Franz, anyone who contributes
to the galactic market will survive...
carlzim: e.g., air lock repair tekkies.
jutta_schmitt2002: So, summarizing "our
times": Overproduction,
underconsumption, decline of investment, stagnating accumulation
of capital due to "overaccumulation", World
War III - who would not
want to be "teleported to elsewhere" ?! And imagine Carl,
historically, the human species has gone through
so much pain and
accumulation crises on planet earth, why repeat the joke on a
galactical level?
carlzim: Galactic level is extremely profitable.
juttafranz: At the rate of the decline
of the virtual surplus value of the
$, we can virtually measure the rate of the decay of the "damned
of the earth", the geometric progression of
pauperization of the
"speaking-tools", Jutta.
missnaranjahit: Good said Jutta!
jutta_schmitt2002: I would not want to
have to "seek employment"
as an airlock tekkie, risk my life, be underpaid, and vegetate just
below the galactic poverty line, folks.
carlzim: Tremendous opportunities to build
new worlds rather than be
stuck in old world.
jutta_schmitt2002: Dejá vu on planet
earth.
jutta_schmitt2002: Let's build new worlds,
Carl - but not with capital
and the market.
juttafranz: Yes, Carl, can you imagine
the voracious, devouring, lustful
corporate presidents on Jupiter. By Jove, please not!
carlzim: Airlock tekkies will be well paid-save
space communities from suffocation.
jutta_schmitt2002: Sounds very altruistic,
Carl.
jutta_schmitt2002: Who saves us from suffocation
here on planet earth?
And if they fail here, why would we want to assume they
succeeded in Space?
juttafranz: Jutta, we need not build, not
construct "new worlds", there are
zillions to "discover", but not to colonize.
jutta_schmitt2002: You sound so Christopher
Columbus like, Franz.
carlzim: Space people valuable to galactic
economy.
missnaranjahit: Folks this is an interesting
chat indeed, but I have to attend
a little party here, to give my congrats to a guy who passed
his final examinations at University.
juttafranz: Carl, because cloning is "in",
the blood of the zombies will be
different, the holograms don't need oxygen.
jutta_schmitt2002: Spineless, boneless,
muscleless Space People - a new
species of brain-centered creatures who do not need their
bodies anymore? - Stella, sorry to see you
leave!
missnaranjahit: *envying him*
juttafranz: See you later, Stella.
carlzim: OK, Stella, please give him our
regards, Thanks for joining.
jutta_schmitt2002: Hang in there, Stella.
We will soon be celebrating
your own victory! ))
missnaranjahit: I'll leave the window open.
- yes Jutta!!!!!!!!!
juttafranz: Check my text, many messages
did not arrive!
carlzim: Till next week, Stella. Auf wiedersehn.
jutta_schmitt2002: Okay Stella, enjoy yourself.
Nastrovje.
missnaranjahit: Ok Bye!
jutta_schmitt2002: Carl, you know I do
like that slogan of yours -
"building our own worlds from scratch". However I think this
would have to do with something never before
thought and never
before acted - something authentically new, to avoid ending up with
the same drama.
juttafranz: Carl, those galactic conquistadores
will be other types of
beings, they will not live on bread and oxygen alone.
juttafranz: They might just need vodka, nectar
and manna.
jutta_schmitt2002: The Russians would have
great opportunities then, Franz.
juttafranz: Yes, they started well.
jutta_schmitt2002: They are the only ones
on the planet who survive on Vodka.
carlzim: Rice and matzos--Chinese and Isrealis.
jutta_schmitt2002: Gagarin - no, who? Ilyushin
- the first Russian in Space.
jutta_schmitt2002: Travelling with a Vodka-Propulsion
Device ...
juttafranz: One left, came back, and there
was no Soviet Union anymore,
only Russia. Imagine if that happens in the United States,
and one comes back, and there's no Statue of
Liberty anymore.
carlzim: An Israeli astronaut will make
a NASA space voyage this summer
( eriously).
jutta_schmitt2002: Well Franz, cataclysmic
surprises like that happen. -
Carl, just think of the International Space Station - a
"multinational" project in the sense of the
word.
jutta_schmitt2002: The home base for future
Space Exploration and Colonization?
carlzim: Yep, Jutta.
juttafranz: Carl, leaving aside the "disinformation"
for the public, what
they tell about space-walks and the like, what could really be
the current state of affairs? How advanced
are they already, in the interpenetration
of the galaxy?
juttafranz: The answer to this question would
explain the current global reality,
not virtuality, much more precise and decisive.
jutta_schmitt2002: But who knows, Carl,
with Lam and his team operating on
the frontier of teletransportation, they will be opening a
direct Channel "Dover - Calais" from Earth
to Moon, soon.
juttafranz: Yes, Jutta, that is what I
am asking.
carlzim: Electropnic Mind Control (EMC)-Some
insurance vs. disappearance of USA
Bill Lyne on Electronic Mind Control (EMC):
Carl
"...Some of (these Electronic Mind Control
(EMC) devices) are remarkably
easy to build. For example, a bar magnet can be placed
on a (gramophone; LP record) turn table and
it will affect everyone within
300 meters. The magnetic field entrains the nervous system
at the given frequency of the turn table. A
slow frequency (say 7 cps) will put
everyone to sleep, and a higher frequency (say 33 cps)
will make them alert. So you can put the neighborhood
asleep during the day,
and give it insomnia during the night. Pretty soon,
everyone in the neighborhood will have such
a screwed up sleep pattern that
they will go crazy."
jutta_schmitt2002: The "human condition"
is not apt for serious, long term
Space Travel so far - at least that is what they publicly say.
Too much impact on the human body in terms
of the deterioration of basic
physical functions. After half a year of travelling, the
astronauts would be cripples.
juttafranz: One thing is sure, if our "information"
is obsolete "newspeak",
and if it does not reflect current reality, but knowledge of the
last millennium, then, we are just victims
of pan et circenses, blocking a fake
"Castor", while the radio-active material has already
reached its destination.
carlzim: For numerous credible, scientific
articles on Electronic Mind
Control (EMC), after chat, visit:
http://www.raven1.net/uncom.htm
carlzim: Castor oil, Franz (LOL)?
juttafranz: We will, but where do we find
the information about the planetary
cities, the colonies, etc., Carl?
jutta_schmitt2002: Thanks for the url,
Carl. - I have been following your
discussion with Bill Lyne on electronic mind control. Franz,
that is the big "incognitum": How (dis-)informed
are we really?
juttafranz: Yes, that's what the demonstrators
in Europe need.
carlzim: Keep searching the web including
the forums, Franz.
juttafranz: If I look at the level of knowledge
about current reality of billions,
then, I just wonder how much behind the moon we still
are, Jutta.
carlzim: Castor oil, Franz (LOL)?
juttafranz: For this very reason, we have
to find ways, means and methods
to overcome our ignorance and folly.
jutta_schmitt2002: Carl, Castor Oil for
the demonstrators in Europe!
juttafranz: You don't need to jump around
on the moon, looking for a toilet
room to get rid of the effects of Castor Oil, to know what
is happening on the moon.
juttafranz: Similarly, we do not need to
study the classified literature, to know
the current state of affairs.
jutta_schmitt2002: Agreed, Franz - we can
perfectly deduce the current state
of affairs from the daily "information" we get.
juttafranz: Putting the figments together,
knowing that the truth is exactly the
opposite, reading between the lines of Larry King, and
studying history and political economy, we
could get an exact idea.
jutta_schmitt2002: That's at least a good
starting point, Franz.
juttafranz: Anyhow, these things we will
discuss next time. I must go and live
on bread now -- hungry!
juttafranz: Carl, it was fun, thanks for the
new information that you posted.
jutta_schmitt2002: Okay, Franz and Carl.
Let's continue next Wednesday. It's
been a pleasure.
juttafranz: Also, the URL's.
carlzim: OK, folks. I enjoyed our chat.
juttafranz: Our warmest regards to Fran!
jutta_schmitt2002: So did I, Carl. Thanks
for the urls.
carlzim: Fran sends her regards to all.
jutta_schmitt2002: And thanks for the photos,
Carl.
juttafranz: Bye, Folks!! Till next Wednesday
--- soon, we could change our
chats back to Thursday again!
juttafranz: My Thursday afternoon class ends
in a fortnight.
jutta_schmitt2002: Yes, important: After
July 4th, we will be conducting our
chats on Thursday afternoon again.
jutta_schmitt2002: Until then, it's Wednesday
afternoon.
juttafranz: And, my Wednesday afternoon
class begins in a fortnight!
carlzim: OK, Jutta.
juttafranz: For the time being, till next
Wednesday!
juttafranz: Bye!
jutta_schmitt2002: Okay, bye Carl and Franz,
and until.
carlzim: Kazakh, Uzbek, Azerbaydjan, Belorussian
Thank you:
Teshekkurler/Rahmat/Spasibo/
carlzim: Till next time. Bye
juttafranz: Bye!
jutta_schmitt2002: Oops, sounds complicated!
Bye Carl.
