But what looks impossible today may become inevitable tomorrow….
Russian President Vladimir Putin
While President Putin may have been discussing the future of Eurasia from the Atlantic to the Pacific earlier this week when he said the above, it is that idea that has always surprised most when events and developments suddenly change the world that had been. When systems or technologies reach a break-point, then what had been, sometimes silently, emerging, becomes the inevitable.
Samuel Morse developed the first practical use of electricity, inventing the telegraph, and completely changed communications. The steam engine made it possible to travel in a few days the distances it previously took weeks or months to accomplish. It took Lewis and Clark almost two years to reach the Pacific Ocean, a trip now that can be done in five hours by air. Inevitable? Yes, for that is the nature of the creative genius of mankind.
Of course, all those developments looked to be impossible before they changed the world.
Today, as our Feature this week highlights, the existing western monetary and economic system of financial speculation, which to most, appears to be a permanent succubus, looting and wrecking the real physical economy of industry, infrastructure, science and the real great tasks such as the space exploration and the development of fusion power, may seem to be impossible to change, but now it is, like in 2008, ready to explode once again. That is inevitable. And it is the opportunity to create, or rather, re-create the American System of directed credit and the cooperation of nations for the great tasks of humanity. That is a hell of a lot better future than succumbing to the damn ecofascists, created and financed by those same financial parasites who have brought the existing system to the present state of explosion.
The Rest of This Week’s Report
We begin with some developments and observations of the state of water infrastructure, both in the nation and in California.
Next several reports on the wildfires. California so far this year has seen a decrease in the number of fires and acreage burned by 95 percent compared to last year. But, the worst part of the fire season begins now. The California state government and the federal government have increased quite dramatically programs to reduce fire risk by thinning the forests and burning undergrowth. Regardless, the danger remains and the insurance companies have acknowledged it by canceling the fire insurance of 350,000 families in the state.
Under the title “Science and Infrastructure,” we have first a report of the National Space Council Hears Presentations on Space Nuclear, Power, and Mining Helium-3. That also includes reporting on progress for Nuclear Propulsion for spacecraft.
Next a report on the President’s Executive Order Seeks To Expedite Progress on Alaska-Canada Rail Link Project. Alaska is still not connected to Canada or the lower 48 states by rail. That shall now be done, and is a prerequisite for the long-proposed Bering Straight tunnel between Alaska and Russia.
The Feature follows and we conclude with the articles in the Washington Post and the London Guardian on the rise of ecofascism and its long history in the anti-population, anti-immigrant and environmentalist movements.
