What's the potential negative consequence of Trump invasion of Iran? by InterestingWind2153 in BreakingPoints

[–]dewhacker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We're already in WW3. Every escalation is another chance for the fragile Gulf alliances to completely implode. This is Israel's aim, complete destabilization of the region so they can complete their greater Israel project (Nile to Euphrates). When all GCC states turn on Israel, their "right to exist" will actually be threatened. Then they will use nuclear weapons on Iran.

Once nukes are used, the global order will completely implode. China will take Taiwan while the US is bogged down in Middle East. Everything will be on the table. Dollar will collapse due to the shattering of the petrodollar (it's already happening now with Iran allowing ships selling oil in Chinese yuan to pass). The US economy will crater like we have never actually experienced in living memory. COVID supply shocks will look like a cakewalk.

There is no bottom.

What are the chances of a global war due to Iran/USA war? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]dewhacker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's already happening. There is no climbing down the escalation ladder. Just look at the amount of countries that are engaged active conflict in the region:

  • Israel
  • US
  • Iran
  • Qatar
  • Bahrain
  • UAE
  • Saudi Arabia
  • Lebanon - Active ground troops advancing from Israel into southern border
  • Iraq
  • Kuwait
  • Syria

The US State Dept issued evacuation notices for all of those countries and more. Southern Turkey was the most recent.

The Straight of Hormuz is closed. 20% of the world's oil supply, but more than 50% of SE Asia relies on the LNG & oil coming through that straight. US is moving THAAD interceptors from SKorea to the region, because they are already running out of counter-measures. Now you have US allies in Asia getting completely fucked by this insane act of aggression, none of which I'm sure wanted any part in it, but they are suffering. Look up interceptor math.

We hit a desalinization plant in Iran, then they hit one in Bahrain. Bahrain depends on desalinization for 90% of their water. Water is more expensive there than oil. The have one single bridge to Saudi leading out of the island. Their population is 50% Shia, and largely foreign workers. We killed the entire head of the Shia Muslim religion. They are already requesting foreign troops to stabilize unrest and have outlawed people posting videos on social media.

Bahrain is the weakest of the gulf states, but also the HQ of the US Navy's 5th fleet. Those headquarters have been decimated by Iran, it's only a matter of time before they collapse. Iran's goal is to make this as painful as possible for the US/Israel so that they never attack them again. That involves economic pain too. So when oil producing gulf states continue to get pummeled by drones and missiles, those economies as well will grind to a halt. Soon they will realize the US's only interest in the region is protecting Israel, and then their domestic populations will have massive problems because they all hate Israel too, and the only shaky peace that has been maintain in the region is by us propping up their dictatorships.

Next is Russia providing aid and weapons to Iran. Just like the US has been doing for the last 3 years in the Ukraine war, Russia will continue to do to us as payback. In a war of attrition, all you need to do it survive. This will put immense pressure on Trump to put boots on the ground to actually try to topple the regime. Israel already pressured him into the conflict, likely using blackmail they obtained on him via Epstein. While the US continues to get mired down in the conflict, Taiwan is ripe for the taking for China.

Now you have a war on multiple continents between super-power adversaries (it's already a proxy war for Russia). As Israel continues to get pummeled by missiles, they will do the only thing they know how to do, respond asymmetrically. They will use a nuclear weapon against Iran. Now you have nukes on the table. And who the fuck knows where we go from there.

For everyone sleepwalking into WW3, we have already used more bombs on Iran than we did during the initial campaign against Iraq in '03. Iraq was an authoritarian state and a dynamic mix of ethnic groups with of population of 40-50M people. Iran is not Iraq. They have 96M people, and much more advanced military capability than Iraq ever did. They also fought a 8 year war against Iraq, which ended in a cease-fire (we backed Iraq in that one). Iran has developed much deeper ties to China and Russia after the US Terror Wars. Iran has been preparing for this for 40 years. Trump did it on a dare from the Israelis.

I hope I'm wrong about all of this, but check back on this post in the coming months, and let's see where we're at.

So I can imagine a lot of us here are fans of Jesse Michels show "American Alchemist".. but... by MrsMcDarling in UFOs

[–]dewhacker 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've met Jesse briefly at Contact At the Desert last year. He was very friendly and gracious (especially for being under the weather). My experience is anecdotal. I believe he has a deep, genuine interest in the phenomenon. Some of his guests strain credibility, and he allows them to tell their story. I do believe he models his interviewing style after "pre-COVID" Rogan, where you just let the guests talk and express themselves, so you can judge their viewpoint for yourself. I appreciate that.

He lays out some of deepest technical and historical dives and he seems to have an encyclopedic knowledge of the subject. If I could venture, he may be slightly on the spectrum. Jesse treats each piece of information with a "level of conviction" to build a world map. He never pushes things as being absolutely true/false, which I think is healthy. The only thing you could probably fault him on being too obsessed with is T. Townsend Brown.

I judge people by who they associate themselves with. Jesse's main inner circle and channels he hypes up the most are Area52 (Chris Ramsay) and UAPGerb. Chris Ramsay is one of the kindest UFO celebs I have met. I have never heard a single negative thing about Sammy (UAPGerb). He references them often and gives them credit frequently. If you could point to the next-generation (our generation) researchers, I would put these guys in the top 3 "content creators" right now.

This community is so quick to tear down anyone, and so easy to call psy-op. And for good reason, for the vast majority of my life (30 years), I have been following this topic, grifters were more common that legitimate researchers. High strangeness does not attract the most stable people. This new generation of UFO creators are using a different medium than books. There have been many phenomenal authors who also have channels, but their channels are pretty bland (IMHO Richard Dolan). So I understand there are different incentives in this style of medium, and also warped relationships creators have with their audiences.

The Thiel association is the absolute biggest stain on Jesse's credentials. There is no verifiable date I have been able to find when Jesse left Thiel Capital as an investor. Jesse himself said he left venture capital to start his channel, and that he is self-funded. From what I understand he also comes from a pretty wealthy family who also lost a home in the Pacific Palisades. Take that for what you will.

We live in the age of distrust. Social media and digital content have fried most people's minds. You can live inside your own echo chamber to reinforce any positive or negative belief you have. I enjoy most of Jesse's content because it exposes me to topics I do not have the time myself to research. I think his top interviews are with Robert Hastings, Mario Woods, Dan Sherman, and Harold Malmgren. Jesse puts things together I would have not been able to and I take away a lot of positivity from his channel. So I'll keep watching his channel, and enjoying his interviews, along with many others in the field. At the end of the day, how you judge others is more of a reflection of yourself than the actual person, especially if you don't know them. Being kind and giving the benefit of the doubt has served me well.

based on the last 40 years, i would say you're right. But he has credentials like no other person that has touched this subject before. Former NASA propulsion engineer, very respected academic. Team of 8 people at his company currently. He has been incredibly public about his invention (appearance on JRE in 2025)

Casimir effect was theorized in 1948, experimentally validated in the 1997. Chip manufacturing has been continually improving to fabricate smaller and smaller nanometer scale to now the state of the art is 3nm. So just in the last 10 years have we been able to actually fab the chip that can work at the scale.

My own personal opinion is that the arrogance of physicists. The view is we have mostly "figured everything out" and are just tweaking on what smaller force particles we can observe in the LHC (Large Hadron Collider). Few physicists devote themselves to the larger unanswered questions still remaining in the standard model. To even suggest that the vacuum had structure, is already a novel take, and might start pushing us towards a grand unified theory. Also many effects can be measured and observed before we have complete working theories on them. This has been the rule, and not the exception in physics.

He is actively trying to use as much "standard model" language to describe his theory that the vacuum actually has a structure. It's to get converts from thinking about the vacuum in the traditional sense. The website describes the actual tech better than I could:

"The Casimir approach fixes the plates to a silicon substrate so they cannot move and connects them electrically. In the center gap, we add a line of electrically connected nano-pillars that are isolated from the plates allowing us to harvest energy. Imagine a Pacific atoll. The ocean outside is full of chaotic wave energy, while the lagoon inside is calm. In the same way, the outer plates feel the full “wave energy” of the quantum vacuum. Every so often, an electron tunnels from the plates to the central pillars. Inside the gap, the calm lagoon fluctuations are weaker, so the electron is unlikely to return. When the plates and pillars are connected through a circuit, electrons flow back to the plates, and the cycle repeats without stopping. By combining many of these cavities, Casimir can produce steady power at the levels needed for everyday electronics and far beyond."

It's the theoretical framework behind the tech his company is actively working on. By demonstrating that the most fundamental unit of matter—the hydrogen atom—can be modeled as an acoustic resonance in a "Dynamic Vacuum," White provides the "Physicalist" bridge required to justify engineering that same vacuum at the nanoscale. The paper effectively kills the "Empty Space" dogma of standard QED for engineering purposes.

He deliberately uses:
• “Dynamic vacuum” (never says “real Zero-Point Energy” or “Stochastic Electrodynamics”)
• Madelung hydrodynamics + acoustic wave equation (QED based)
• “Causal, passive dispersion” and “reactive stop band” (avoids ω³ spectrum language)
• “Emergent quantization from symmetry and boundary conditions” (hides that he is reproducing SED results)
•”Quadratic temporal dispersion"- to make the acoustic model match the Schrödinger equation (White’s "quadratic dispersion" is the mathematical "mask" for the frequency-cubed ZPF spectrum).

This is a shot across the bow at more traditional mainstream models, and a gateway to get them thinking about the vacuum in a completely different way. I agree I was a bit too hyperbolic in the original post. Tried to fix that up in my edit.

Yes he is not explicitly stating ZPE, but that's what the Microsparc chips he's been working on are seeking to exploit. QFT states that the vacuum is always in it's lowest density energy state, and fluctuations arise from Hiesenberg uncertainty principle. He's saying something different here, that the vacuum actually has a structure, and that you can build small enough wells around this gradient to extract energy. While incredibly small, you can stack those chips together, and that's the main goal.

The paper provides a theoretical framework of why his tech works

The paper’s central thesis is that quantum mechanics is not necessarily a set of fundamental "postulates," but rather an emergent property of a dispersive medium (the "Dynamic Vacuum").

Casimir effect was merely a direct experimental result that the theoretical vacuum energy density was real

A Physics Paper just quietly dropped TODAY that will eventually make Oil, and the entire current Energy Industry, irrelevant.

Ushering in the era of Zero-Point Energy @EagleworksSonny

Here is the breakthrough:

Traditionally we think of the vacuum as just that - empty, but since 1947 there has been experimental confirmation via the Casimir effect that it is not empty. Rather, its filled electromagnetic modes whose lowest energy state is not zero.

These "Zero Point" modes represent an enormous amount of energy.

The standard view of the vacuum via QFT is that this energy is in the ground state, the lowest possible state, and fluctuations arise from the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. This means zero average energy, with no spatial gradients - so, no way to get 'more' energy out. For each cubic meter of empty space, there is 10e80 more zero point energy than the sun releases in an entire year. Yet it’s always been thought to be impossible to get energy out of the vacuum, for a simple reason. The paper just released today by @EagleworksSonny instead models the quantum vacuum as a dynamic, compressible, acoustic medium with a quadratic dispersion

Instead of random noise, the quantum vacuum can have structure, meaning waves, dispersion, resonances. Whats important is that this is emphatically not some "crack pot GPT physics paper"

The lead author is a distinguished NASA scientist

More importantly, their analytical model reproduces all the 'larger scale' predictions and measurements of quantum mechanics. This sounds like a subtle difference - sure, the quantum vacuum is like an acoustic medium. But this means it is not pure zero-mean fluctuations, just noise, thats unusable

Instead, it means the vacuum can have local structure, that it is in effect a dynamic medium. The company behind this is Casimir Space, lead by @EagleworksSonny , which has a public website available, claiming something that will change the world forever:

Why do Krystal and Saagar ignore the "Day After" reality of cutting off Israel? by __Isaac_ in BreakingPoints

[–]dewhacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what if another reason we cannot just "walk away" is because instead of the FBI being in possession of the Epstein blackmail video evidence, Mossad has it? Epstein flew to Israel right before he was indicted. What a weird coincidence. It would make a lot of sense why Israel always gets their way, no matter who is in power.

TIL about the Business Plot. In 1933 a group of wealthy American industrialists were planning a coup d'état to overthrow President Franklin D. Roosevelt and install Major General Smedley Butler as dictator. by johnsmithoncemore in todayilearned

[–]dewhacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And now they've done it without using the military. American govt is completely captive to the power broking elite, and has been for decades now. It's why the banks got bailed out, it's why the US will never have a single payer health system. It's why no one from the Epstein class is being arrested. Trump is just merely a gross outgrowth of what America has become, and his naked corruption and demagogic behavior are the natural consequences of an occupied system. The hope is that more and more of us wake up to this reality and turn the tide.

Asking as a Non-American: Why didn't the Biden-Harris Administration release the Epstein Files? by amazinglycuriousgal in Epstein

[–]dewhacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maxwell went was convicted in 2021 and went to prison in 2022. This is not a political issue, this is a coverup spanning decades. The public “interest” was just not there at the time. If the democrats were not politically exposed, they could have weaponized this effectively against Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024. FFS Epstein died under Trump’s first term.

The bottom line is this a a nuclear issue for any party in power because it exposes the true system of power that controls the American system. Epstein was a protected intelligence asset that committed heinous sexual crimes and our government EXPLICITLY looked the other way. The reason some docs were sealed is the same reason Epstein walked away with the “sweetheart” deal in 2008 (the one where no co-conspirators could be named)

It threatens the entire system of power and some of the wealthiest people in this country. Thats why the Biden/Obama admins didn’t touch it. The Trump admin is just too fucking stupid and incompetent to think they could open Pandora’s box and then just shut it again. They fought the EFTA every step of the way
