Denying the FRACKIN' Earthquakes....

Michael Marshall
Like I said, it is all about control.

If Newtonian Science wants to create earthquakes, it will do so -  but totally on its own terms.

But no way, no sirree bob , will it ever - could it ever - be the cause of out-of-control, unpredictable , earthquakes.

These are scientists - and science - with every hair carefully slicked down in place, every ballpoint pen and its protector neatly in place.

You think that image is just a cliche ? You ever met an old-school scientist in the flesh?  Am I not right ?  Dead right I am.

Even making a profit is not as important to old-school scientists/entrepreneurs as always remaining 'totally in control ' .

Thermonuclear war - not to change the subject in the slightest - was defined for half a century exclusively in terms of blast damage by its promotors and touts.

Not because it was the most important source of ultimate death and destruction but because it could always be measured -and contained - by human actions.

Fallout, smoke-induced nuclear winter, massive fires of urban material -- they could collectively far out-do extremely localized blast damage's impact.

But their effect was unpredictable, dependent on that oh so capricious weather ,well beyond Man's control.

Best not talk about it, best not think about it - must stay calm, must stay calm, must stay cool : al-ways in con-trol, must al-ways re-main in tot-tal con-trol.....

Why My Urgency ?

Histories of WWII all start with the presumption that it was a war raged between humans and human ideologies, with Nature’s climate and geography as side issues easily surmounted.My blog, on the contrary will only accept that it was conflict between humans and their ideology that STARTED the war but that it was the barriers thrown up by Mother Nature (geography & climate) that turned it into a war that lasted between 6 to 15 years and expanded to thoroughly involve all the world’s oceans and continents. High Modernity may have started the war convinced that Nature had been conquered and was about to be soon replaced by human Synthetic Autarky and that only human Tiger tanks and human Typhoon planes were to be feared. But by the end, more and more people had lost their naive faith in Scientism and were beginning to accept that humanity was thoroughly entangled with both the Nature of plants, animals & microbes as well as the Nature of so called “lesser” humanity. By 1965, the world was definitely entering the Age of Entanglement. Billions still believed - at least in part -with the promises of High Modernity but intellectually & emotionally, it was no longer dominant...
