The Unified Field Theory of American Politics and Civilization: Prologue

My first moment of political thought occurred on Election Night, 1960, when, as a seven year old, I stayed up all night watching the primitive coverage of the Kennedy-Nixon returns on NBC. I was also simultaneously listening to the radio, WOR 710 AM from New York City, since even at that young age, I was a fan of talk radio's premier raconteur Jean Shepherd who at that time had an all night radio show which was mesmerizing. The station was breathlessly reporting the returns coming in from all over the nation. This Presidential Election Night was my first horse-race, my first extra-inning game, my first sudden-death overtime. This...was exciting.

So for sixty-five years I have been closely watching the progression and decline of many aspects of our nation. I at one time was a voracious reader and would exhaustively read the works of authors, both obscure and well-known. Due to my profession, that of general dentistry in a metropolitan environment, I have come into contact with a significant number of individuals, some influential and some not, who are aware of certain occurrences which are not generally known by most, although many are in fact in the public domain. I have watched information and disinformation wars throughout my life, and have been lied to so much by, well, by nearly everybody, that I have a real feel for knowing who is prevaricating. It comes with the clinical territory - similar to how a law enforcement officer will know when something just doesn't "sound right". Everyone has their "tells" and the vast number of individuals would make very bad poker players, even if they sincerely believe that they are adept at telling lies. They should know that they can fool most of the people most of the time, but never ever everybody all of the time.

Some of the ideas which I will present will not be popular and will be instantly negated by some here, if not many. There are those who believe simply that two or more people never ever sit in a room or poolside and plot a strategy, an insidious plan, or an assassination. These individuals demand absolute proof far beyond a reasonable doubt to alter their view of the status quo, and quite frankly, at this age and stage, I have no interest in arguing with them. What I would like to proffer is a synthesis of seemingly unrelated stories and events which may, or may not, demonstrate that there is "something" or somethings" going on which far transcend in the minds of the political and societal hierarchy, any of our "trivial" political skirmishes, or in fact, the health and welfare of tens or hundreds of millions of human beings, to say nothing of "inferior" forms of life, or even the health and welfare and even the existence of the planet.

Much is made of the philosophy spouted now and again concerning significant cataclysmic discoveries that unleashing certain information upon society would destabilize it terribly, possibly leading to riots or mass death. This may or may not be entirely true, but I will attempt to demonstrate over time that we have been slowly readied for significant change, and that change may well be coming, and right soon to paraphrase a plaque in the film The Shawshank Redemption. We have reached a societal plateau of globalization and it has not been random or by chance. I will, using popular themes, attempt to demonstrate this coming radical change.

To digress for a moment, The Unified Field Theory in physics is an attempt to organize all the disparate fields: electromagnetic, gravitational, and the fundamental forces including the forces among elementary particles as well as the fields which allow the description of space-time known as general relativity. This is a monumental task, requiring genius-level understanding of the Universe and its components. At one time, these forces were considered to be entirely separate but no longer and it is my desire to show that many of the things ongoing are quite closely related, and obviously so. One of the interesting sequelae of discoveries in mathematics and physics is that after the fact, people will often say, "Well, that wasn't so complicated. Why didn't someone derive it sooner?" Well, the answer to that question is that in those fields, the genius sees through the complications and visualizes the reduction to simplicity. The derivation of E=mc^2 is rly fairly straightforward, but it took an Einstein to see it first.

Much of what exists in recorded human history is eye-witnessed by individuals. We may always debate the credibility and accuracy of what these people say that they saw and heard, but at some point there comes a time when we must accept a series of possibilities as reasonable truth and draw conclusions. There were multiple individuals in Dallas, Texas on Novermber 22,1963 who stated unequivocally that they saw a rifle barrel, heard a report (shot fired), and saw smoke coming from the white picket fence behind the notorious grassy knoll. Each of these individuals was either told that they had not seen this, that they were mistaken, or were never called upon to testify that they had seen it. This included a police officer who rode his motorcycle up the embankment because he was certain that he had witnessed a rifle shot.

There are military pilots and ground crew who have visualized objects traveling faster than anything conceivable on Earth in a non-ballistic fashion and were told never ever to discuss it or face the wrath of the military in extremis. Why would these individuals fabricate these stories en masse? Civilians who have never been doubted in their lives were suddenly made out to be mental defectives or liars when they reported similar circumstances, Who in his or her right mind would need that?

Now for those of you who believe this all to be hogwash, that the human processing capabilities are unreliable, such as witnessing an event, or hearing a noise or conversation, that there is no plan, no plot, no structure in that which has occurred, then this is not for you. Please spare yourselves the agony of having to cope with what you might term "paranoid, ridiculous, unfounded conspiracy-theories of a delusional old man typing in a basement with Cheetos-stained fingers". For those of you who might be interested in a somewhat different perspective than you are used to reading, I hope that I can stimulate your thoughts to consider things "outside the box" and to further consider that there may be more than three spatial dimensions in true reality, whatever that may be.

Stay tuned: "I'll be back".

First I should note that two WW2 veterans -- Dave Powers and Kenny O'Donnell, known as JFK's "Irish mafia" during his presidency -- were among those who saw smoke from the shots behind the walls. In Speaker Tip O'Neill's book, "Man of the House" (St. Martin's Press, 1987, page 211) one of the greatest Democrats of my lifetime wrote that after Dallas, he assumed the Warren Report was accurate. Then RFK was killed in '68.

When some Kennedy Democrats gathered, O'Donnell told Tip that he and Dave saw two shots come from behind the fence. Not "heard them," but saw them. Tip asked why they didn't tell that to the Warren Commission? He said the FBI prerssured him to lie "for the good of the country." So he did, though Dave refused to, and hence was not interviewed by the commission.

Now, a turn in subject matter ..... ALL of organic life on earth does one of two things: it either grows, or it decays. That includes everything from the microscopic to larger group orgasms, such as a bee hive, ant hill, or a human empire. It cannot be otherwise. And that is where we are at. The United States can either grow through an increase in sanity and understanding, or we can carry on as confused ants while the decay destroys us. And there is plenty of decay around us, which sanity and understanding demands we use as fertile compost to grow anew.

the card that was handed out the next weekend in the Catholic church my family attended. I've collected and read a significant number of good books on JFK and about Dallas. While reading some I disagree with, I find myself debating the author in my head.

Strange few years ... JFK, Malcolm, Martin, then RFK. I think the documents being released on JFK/Dallas are interesting, but haven't read the RFK ones. I read that some were recently released.

Was essentially solved in terms of the perpetrators on site.

Thane Eugene Cesar fired the fatal shots. “Case closed” in that regard. Of course, the plot obviously goes much deeper

7. "A Physics of Information"

In his work to understand the UFO phenomenon, Dr. Jacques Vallée, PhD suggests that science explore new areas in order to better understand the cosmos and our place in it. In addition to the physics of matter and energy, Dr. Vallée said we need a physics of information to put together a more complete picture of reality.

He discussed the concept, physics, and the phenomenon during a TEDx presentation:
