Wiener, Paul Revere, and Solar Flares

There used to be a fun David Frost show on TV in the 60's called "That Was the Week That Was" TW3 This week in particular feels like a TW3 episode as my mind takes in sound bites, chews on them, and I now I get to spit them out. Incoming! The late night talk shows do it daily, and SNL does it weekly, but I can't stay up 'til 11:30 pm anymore without 2 cups of coffee which of course makes sleeping impossible and then I am recovering for a week from missing my regular senior rest.


The Congressman's privates, the former Alaska Governor's ignorance (Sarah's vacation from history) and the intensity of solar flares strongly influence our space. They produce streams of highly energetic particles in the "coronal mass ejection". These particles impact the Earth's atmosphere and present radiation hazards to anyone caught space-walking.


That last paragraph makes me laugh; and pisses me off at the same time. The fallout from the ridiculously comical acts of elected officials, counter posed to the real dangers presented by natural forces, is the stuff of our times. What is really important, and should ultimately worry us, is not the passing shock bites of the histrionics of a never ending stream of egotistical politicians, but the colossal strength of the Sun, the tidal influences of the moon, the ever shifting plates under our feet, rogue comets, and ginormous weather lows and highs crashing into each other all over the globe.

If you've heard about the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program (HAARP), you know there are some incredible conspiracy theories flying around the internets about its power. How about chem trails? With no intention of spreading rumors, or in any way supporting the accuracy of these radical possibilities ……. the relevance here is that this is part of the debate that exists in the world of 2011 where much of what we can find in cyber-space leaves more questions than answers.

Speaking of questions and answers, is anybody else wondering who will be the new leadership in Egypt and Yemen? What are the behind-the-scenes reasons for America's military involvement in the overthrow of Dictators we originally supported and have financed to the tune of billions of dollars for 30 - 40 years? Why is America pouring billions more of our tax dollars into Afghanistan and Pakistan?

Is their a master plan? Is there an end game that truly forges a path to more freedom and opportunities for the suppressed people in the countries we are "helping"?  Or are we repeating history by forcing out a Dictator, a fanatical, wealthy, gruel old man, to be eventually replaced by someone who agrees at first to trade our support for his power hungry cooperation?  In this "Arab Spring" we a certainly helping to create leadership vacuums that any reasonable observer notes might ultimately be an opportunity for organized terrorist groups to fill.

What the hell is going on? Who the hell is in charge? Sometimes I get into the conversation with friends about the thousand year old theory that there is a secret society of families that have been acting as puppeteers behind the scenes for their own amusement and financial gain. The far-fetched possibility that for centuries a small group of very wealthy, smart, disciplined, segment of humans has "allowed" this course of history to unfold with a ultimate plan to create enough chaos that billions would spread across the globe in a dysfunctional assembly of nations and religions to ultimately perish in some cataclysmic event?

I read no history and have seen nothing in my lifetime that rationally tells me that this is possible. What I see and conclude is the very scary and disheartening reality that since humans have been in control of the animal kingdom, throughout the generations a certain percentage of people are con artists, liars, and ego-maniacal folks who openly manipulate, contradict, and shamefully take advantage of the masses for the own gain and power hungry pleasure.

Another Beginning

It has come to my attention that the thread of ideas, thoughts, and discourse on this Bloq make assumptions. I get it; it does not necessarily follow that being like minded or interested or curious would include that a reader, follower, and future participant, would know anything about XOQ. (More about XOQ)

XOQ (pronounced ZOK, like Spock) is fresh, new, and unearthed in 2010. It simply appeared one day in the mind of the beholder as a grouping of letters conjured through a conscious effort to find a word that had a K sound in it. It had to be only three letters and it could not appear on a Google search. Seriously, this the truth about how XOQ popped out of nowhere. Really, just follow along; please believe that everything written here is the truth, as it occurred.

Driving home from work one day, it simply became important to find such a word. It took a little Googling with a few different combinations of letters, but actually not very long. XOQ appears in only one language, the native tongue of Aruba. And in that dictionary XOQ means "crossing over". It is the last name of a few people on Facebook and also for some reason is used by computer programmers. If you know someone in that line of work, please ask them and report back.

It is amazing how easily all the imagery was discovered since realizing that XOQ was the word. This fascination with XOQ is being shared; the concept and how it promotes the opportunity to explore, research, breakdown, expand, and enjoy the analysis of life itself is kool. (it is not cool to keep using "kool" but you'll have to live with it). (Even more about XOQ)

The connection between XOQ and ONE of 7 Billion and Another Beginning is an easy line to draw. Three letter words like XOQ and ONE are to the point. When the rough draft for the book XOQ:Another Beginning was started in 2010, the main character was XOQ. XOQ's journey though time, life, wisdom, etc. was filled with messages about how similar we all are and how much has not changed since the first human dropped from the last non-humanoid form that proceeded it (see: monkey, ape, gorilla, and the other theories uncovered by Anthropologists over the years.)

But as some who have joined us here might admit, figuring out what or who XOQ is became a stumbling block to the true message of the book, so the main character became ONE and the title to the book was changed to ONE of 7 Billion which was recommended as significant and current since in 2011 we will all become 1 of 7 billion. The mathematicians write it like this 1:7,000,000

So now you know the story of XOQ and you might go back and start over on this site from Post #1 to catch up. Before we part for today take a moment, if you have a spare one, and write a comment. See you soon ....... (XOQ is here)
