First take the beam out of your own eye and then you will see clearly enough to help another remove the speck from his eye?

    My friend Bob, who does the tech work for my books in the free internet libraries and our podcast, reactivated the YouTube channels for The Redneck Mystic Lawyer Podcast and its successor, The Redneck Mystic Podcast. Here are the links. 


    There are a lot of episodes. We know YouTube changed the title of two episodes, and shortened one episode by half, and that may have happened with other episodes. 

    We will not put anything new at those YouTube channels. We will continue putting new podcast episodes on Torrent platforms in America and around the globe.

    Bob created a new YouTube channel, Not So Sweet Home Alabama, onto which he put two episodes. which previously were put on Torrent, and there will be more episodes at the new channel.

    Yesterday, I got involved in something at Erik Rittenberry’s Poetic Outlaws and later wished I had stayed out of it, but it was on my plate when I woke up yesterday morning and found it in my email inbox.

    As further preface, I say again that Bob and I were dragooned by angels known in the Bible, who stood us before endless mirrors looking at ourselves, and the angels did lots of other things to us, and it changed our perspectives of ourselves and of everything else.

    Here is what I got involved in yesterday morning, which continued through yesterday and into this morning.

Exegesis of Failure

By: Emil Cioran

JUL 28, 2024

It is because we are all imposters that we endure each other.

— Cioran

One of my favorite writers is the cranky, old, pessimistic Romanian philosopher Emil Cioran. I read him often. For me, his sentences are pure poetry laced with uncomfortable truths. You don’t have to agree with everything he says to enjoy the wisdom of his writing. 

The irony is that his pessimistic ponderings lift my spirit in strange ways. Perhaps it’s because he reminds us of what we already know on a deeper level but are conditioned to ignore or deny. He helps us remove our rose-colored glasses so as to come face to face with naked reality. He reminds us that “the more we are dispossessed, the more intense our appetites and our illusions become.” 

 

Susan Sontag once said: 

 

“Cioran is one of the most delicate minds of real power writing today. Nuance, irony, and refinement are the essence of his thinking… 

An argument is to be ‘recognized,’ and without too much help. Good taste demands that the thinker furnish only pithy glimpses of intellectual and spiritual torment. Hence, Cioran’s tone— one of immense dignity, dogged, sometimes playful, often haughty. But for all of what may appear arrogance, there is nothing complacent in Cioran, unless it be his very sense of futility and his uncompromisingly elitist attitude toward the life of the mind…” 

 

Below is a brief essay by Cioran from his brilliant little book, A Short History of Decay. I hope you enjoy it. 


Short History of Decay by E. M. Cioran, Paperback | Pangobooks

Each of us is born with a share of purity, predestined to be corrupted by our commerce with mankind, by that sin against solitude. For each of us will do anything in order not to be doomed to himself. 

Our kind is not a fatality but the temptation to fail. Incapable of keeping our hands clean and our hearts undiluted, we soil ourselves upon contact with strange sweats, we wallow—craving for disgust and fervent for pestilence—in the unanimous mud. 

And when we dream of seas changed into holy water, it is too late to dive into them, and our advanced state of corruption keeps us from drowning there: the world has infested our solitude; upon us the traces of others become indelible.

In the gamut of creatures, only man inspires a sustained disgust. The repugnance which an animal begets is provisional; it never ripens in thought, whereas our kind obsesses our reflections, infiltrates the mechanism of our detachment from the world in order to confirm us in our system of refusal and non-adherence. 

After each conversation, whose refinement alone is enough to indicate the level of a civilization, why is it impossible not to regret the Sahara and not to envy the plants or the endless monologues of zoology? If with each word we win a victory over nothingness, it is only the better to endure its reign. 

We die in proportion to the words which we fling around us . . . Those who speak have no secrets. And we all speak. We betray ourselves, we exhibit our heart; executioner of the unspeakable, each of us labors to destroy all the mysteries, beginning with our own. 

And if we meet others, it is to degrade ourselves together in a race to the void, whether in the exchange of ideas, schemes, or confessions. Curiosity has provoked not only the first fall but the countless ones of every day of our lives. Life is only that impatience to fall, to fail, to prostitute the soul’s virginal solitudes by dialogue, ageless and everyday negation of Paradise.

Man should listen only to himself in the endless ecstasy of the intransmissible Word, should create words for his own silences and assents audible only to his regrets. But he is the chatterbox of the universe; he speaks in the name of others; his self loves the plural. And anyone who speaks in the name of others is always an impostor.

Politicians, reformers, and all who rely on a collective pretext are cheats. There is only the artist whose lie is not a total one, for he invents only himself. Outside of the surrender to the incommunicable, the suspension amid our mute and unconsoled anxieties, life is merely a fracas on an unmapped terrain, and the universe a geometry stricken with epilepsy.

(The implicit plural of “one” and the avowed plural of “we” constitute the comfortable refuge of false existence. Only the poet takes responsibility for “I,” he alone speaks in his own name, he alone is entitled to do so. 

Poetry is bastardized when it becomes permeable to prophecy or to doctrine: “mission” smothers music, idea shackles inspiration. Shelly’s “generous” aspect cripples most of his work; Shakespeare, by a stroke of luck, never “served” anything.

The victory of non-authenticity is fulfilled in philosophical activity, that complacence in “one,” and in prophetic activity [whether religious, moral, or political], that apotheosis of “we.”  

Definition is the lie of the abstract mind; inspired formula the lie of the militant one; a definition is always the cornerstone of a temple; a formula inescapably musters the faithful. Thus all teachings begin. How then fail to turn to poetry? It has, like life, the excuse of proving nothing.)

Heh, did Cioran ever take his own advice and simply shut up?

Poetic Outlaws
Author

He wrote most of his life and he'd likely respond to your comment with this: 
 
 
"The wise man's life is empty and sterile, for it is free from contradiction and despair. An existence full of irreconcilable contradictions is so much richer and creative. The wise man's resignation springs from inner void, not inner fire. I would rather die of fire than of void.”

Sloan Bashinsky
Heh, I have only wrote for half of my life, and it was tens of thousands of pages of non-fiction, verse, fiction and stranger than fiction, as if I had turned into paper, pen and ink, or typewriter, ribbon and paper, or a computer and keyboard. I’ve had copious oceans of both fire and void, irreconcilable contradictions and despairs, and so has everyone I have ever known, wise or dumb as a rock :-). 
Do you happen to know what Cioran’s life was like? He was a hermit? He mixed and mingled with people? He took risks in life that could have killed him or had him live on the street? He got his heart broken and mangled and put through a wood chipper a few dozen times, or even once? Did he live outside of his mind? 
I read at Wikipedia just now that he suffered greatly from insomnia in his youth, I went through a patch of that in my teens and it nearly drove me insane. It seems from what I read at Wikipedia, he spent most of his life in his head, academia, talking with smart people and philosophers and movements. He very much admired Adolf Hitler. 

From Wikipedia.

In 1933, he received a scholarship to the University of Berlin, where he studied Johann Gottlieb Fichte, Hegel, Edmund Husserl, Immanuel Kant, Georg Simmel, Schopenhauer, and Nietzsche.[3] Here, he came into contact with Klages and Nicolai Hartmann. While in Berlin, he became interested in the policies of the Nazi regime, contributed a column to Vremea dealing with the topic (in which Cioran confessed that "there is no present-day politician that I see as more sympathetic and admirable than Hitler",[6] while expressing his approval for the Night of the Long Knives—"what has humanity lost if the lives of a few imbeciles were taken"),[7] and, in a letter written to Petru Comarnescu, described himself as "a Hitlerist".[8] He held similar views about Italian fascism, welcoming victories in the Second Italo-Abyssinian War, arguing that: "Fascism is a shock, without which Italy is a compromise comparable to today's Romania".[9]

He was apolitical as all greats were. Wikipedia, that dubious info forum, delivers out-of-context facts and false narratives. You should know better. The truth is, Conservatives deemed him an anarchist and a communist. Liberals deemed him a fascist. Both sides always try to categorize those who transcend the partisan trap. 
Anyway, Cioran paid no attention to others' opinions. He wrote fiercely and bravely, never to appease the anemic sensibilities of the masses. 
He once said: “Our opinions are tumors which destroy the integrity of our nature and nature itself.”

Sloan Bashinsky
Wikipedia invented he admired Hitler?

Poetic Outlaws
Author

We have to remember that most intellectuals of the time did. Including Americans. Heidegger was brilliant but he too got swept up in the dictator's spell. I've told you before, this page isn't for puritans. I post the wisdom of profound thinkers here regardless of the ideological traps they've succumbed. 

Sloan Bashinsky
Erik, I love what you do here, and I’ve told many people about it. However, I am not impressed by anyone getting swept up by Adolph Hitler. A very similar thing is happening in America, and its kingpin has made statements of admiration about Hitler, and he studied a book of Hitler’s speeches when he was married to Ivana, and he recently spoke admiringly of the despots ruling Russia, Red China and North Korea, and in 2016 his vice president pick likened him to Hitler, and photos of his Mega rallies, the Jan 6 insurrection, and where he got shot show his base is white people, a picture’s worth a thousand words. He recently told his evangelical base that if he wins this time, they won’t have to ever vote again. His vice president running mate wrote the Foreword for the Project 25 right wing Christian takeover of America, which they say will be bloodless, if the left allows it to be bloodless.

I don't think it's that serious my friend and I think the Left in this country are equally abhorrent. I despise both parties with passion but the Left has a firmer grip on this nation, especially in academia and media. It might be best just to ignore some of the upcoming posts I have in store. Cioran, to me, is unrivaled in wit and wisdom. As he once said, "I'm simply an accident. Why take it all so seriously?"

Sloan Bashinsky
I have a friend who had contracts taken out on his life by local government officials because of the heat he was putting on them in county commission meetings and getting them prosecuted, and they were MAGAS, and hit men nearly killed him and he has been in hiding ever since. I don’t know if you rub against MAGAS regularly, but I do, and they are unhinged. I don’t care for the American left, either, but they don’t remind of Germany leading up to WW II, and Trump and his base do. You discredit yourself when you argue this former Hitler lover really wasn’t, and when you excuse it because lots of intelligent people were same. 

Poetic Outlaws
Author

I don't "excuse" it, I just don't give a damn. I've posted communist sympathizers here also but I never remember you getting mad over that. I live in the south so I'm quite familiar with the MAGA crowd and most of them are hardworking, harmless, family oriented people tired of getting screwed over by the political apparatus. There's extremists on the fringes on both sides of the political divide and I despise them. I created this page as a refuge from politics but some people can't help bringing it up at all times. This country is over-politicized to the core and I don't like it.

Sloan Bashinsky
I know Stalin killed millions of Jews and Gypsies, and if you published something by someone who was dazzled by Stalin, I would respond about the same. The void is very different from the flames, both are very important to soul evolution, and both, in their own way, are, well, not best sellers. 
 
Ethan
If you don’t mind me intervening here, in my opinion he does not discredit himself as long as he does not promote violence or indignity, (and he doesn’t) and as long as he’s opened to dialogue, offering others the chance to speak their minds freely…
I find this to be a sign of respect and appreciation that worth being responded in the same manner. 
So learn to “agree to disagree” without trying to impose anything on anyone   

Sloan Bashinsky
I’m not mad, I just don’t cotton to this guy in the context of his infatuation with Hitler. 

Poetic Outlaws
He wasn’t infatuated. He said one snarky comment. He hated all politicians and ideologies. 
As he said: 
 
“In itself, every idea is neutral, or should be; but man animates ideas, projects his flames and flaws into them; impure, transformed into beliefs, ideas take their place in time, take shape as events: the trajectory is complete, from logic to epilepsy . . . whence the birth of ideologies, doctrines, deadly games.“

Ethan
Is it fair to burn down one’s life work when his political views did NOT bleed into his writings? In my understanding his adherence to the far right ideology was a stupidity of youth that he regretted later. 

I too love Cioran for a number of reasons none of which have anything in common with far right political view. I love controversial minds who do not adhere to pretested formulas of thinking. I feel life pulsating in them far more than it does within those who choose the straight, neat path all the time that can only lead where everyone else is going 

Oh, and one more question if I may, for you made a reference to “flames” and “void” that sparked my curiosity. What do you know of them, and don’t speak to me of angels with flaming swords! 
Have you tried walking on a path on which no one else is going, so much so that your thirst (mental/emotional one) meets no one to hand you a glass of water? A path where you cannot find any mercy other than yours, if any? A path where your screams are mute as if trapped in a void where sounds cannot travel? Try such a journey and maybe you’ll understand a thing or two about Coiran’s writings. 
Certainly they are not for everybody. Neat souls sense danger into them for many reasons having nothing to do with politics 😉  

Sloan Bashinsky
The Void is a metaphysical place in space, time, eternity, infinity, which is alien to all but a few. The Flames are the baptism in fire and in spirit, which John the Baptist said Jesus would administer. Both are core in any spiritual tradition. 
I had never heard of Cioran when I read Erik’s post today. For me, there was something surreal shrill and, I dunno, conceited? megalomanic? I know, you don’t? in Cioran’s rant, diatribe. 
After Erik replied to me, I decided to see what Cioran was about, and as I usually do when I want a general sense of someone who might be well known, say the Sufi mystic poet Rumi and his irascible teacher Shams, I went to Wikipedia, and when I read about Cioran’s infatuation with Hitler, I thought that might explain his his psyche’s workings a bit, for how could anyone become infatuated with Hitler and move on unscathed, but did Cioran ever face himself down In a deep mirror and come to terms with it? 
 
"Definition is the lie of the abstract mind; inspired formula the lie of the militant one; a definition is always the cornerstone of a temple; a formula inescapably musters the faithful. Thus all teachings begin. How then fail to turn to poetry? It has, like life, the excuse of proving nothing.)” 

Really? 

Ethan
Haha, at first I raised an eyebrow when reading this quote too, and then at a second thought I begun to see it differently. He probably did not think at “definition” in mathematical terms because definitions are the very foundation of many mathematical concepts. 
In more general terms though, definition is the cornerstone for many fanatical manifestations be them political, religious and so on. (Cioran has the experience of two fanatical regimes he ended up despising and a close connection to religion in childhood as his father was a priest. He rebelled against religion too later in life) 
When it comes to humans, definitions prove nothing for life is more fluid than that and can rarely be framed into definitions.
In my opinion Cioran’s infatuation comes not from political reasons but from excessive loneliness. 
All of my life so far I tried to identify connection points with the world around (at emotional/intellectual level) and I gloriously failed every time. The older I get the more I resonate with Cioran’s isolation from the world. 

Sloan Bashinsky
It was his view of poetry that caused me to say, really?

Ethan
I know, I had the same train of thoughts when I read that fragment 😃. I needed to mention the part about definition, in order to be able to explain this. Putting everything in frames imposed by definitions leads to doctrine and he says somewhere above that “Poetry is bastardized when it becomes permeable to prophecy or to doctrine” and hence it says nothing anymore.
As to the void and the flames, one can explain them in religious terms (as you did) which to me are equally interesting as any form of mythology is, or one can assimilate them to a more human level seeing in the flames the isolated soul incapable to connect to the void represented by a society of heartless puppets that can offer no true companionship. Cioran’s infatuation expresses the rage against the human automatons programmed to conquer the surroundings at all costs 

Sloan Bashinsky
What if the entire spiel is about his early infatuation with Hitler, doctrine, his own selling out, and he was not able to bring himself to say it directly, or it is his unconscious confession-projection? There is no way to go where he went and then leave unscathed. Same dynamic joining any cult past or present. 

Ethan
No my friend, no. Some people go down in hell and upon returning they bring back the sword, while others the wounds and the wisdom that grew within those wounds. Read him and judge him only afterwards

Sloan Bashinsky
I read his spiel, it felt off to me, and I wondered what he was about in his own life, and here I am thinking he wrote that about himself. And, yes, it has general application as well.

road-tested technology in the U.S. Patent Office allow cars and trucks to run on hydrogen extracted from tap water by electrolysis, but Big Oil and the Atomic Energy Commission prevent automakers from using the technology

In early 2017, a man emailed me that angels told him in his sleep to contact Sloan Bashinsky and he resisted calling me until it became unbearable inside of him and he called me, and thus did I began to get to know a man about half my age, whom I would learn in steps is incredibly skilled at many things. He remembered everything he read. I figured his IQ was around 170.


Based on many reports from him of angels visiting and talking with him when he was awake and in his sleep, which was new to him, I told him that he had been dragooned by angels It knew all too well and by angels I did not know well, and to grab his best hold.


He knew computers and smartphone and video technology, and he and figured out how to produce The Redneck Mystic Lawyer Podcast and launch it onto YouTube and into the Torrent universe, and how to digitize some of my older books and turn my new manuscripts into books and put them all in free internet libraries around the globe.


One of his fields of expertise is he can take apart and put back together just about anything that uses an internal combustion engine: cars, trucks, motorcycles, and tractors. Besides regular cars and trucks, he worked on Lotus, Porsche and Ferrari. He is a welder and a machinist. He taught economics in several colleges. 


He had several other lines of work, and because of his association with me, people stopped hiring him, and onsetting physical and medical ails prevented him from doing heavy physical work, and I hired him.


He told me about technology in the U.S. Patent Office in Washington, D.C. that allows cars and trucks to run on hydrogen extracted from tap water for what a local water company charge$ for water. We talked about that technology several times at The Redneck Mystic Lawyer Podcast.


The day before yesterday, I asked him to write it down and he did, and I read it, and we talked about some parts of it, and he added a little more to it, and here it is, and below it are my mechanically retarded thoughts about what should have happened in the 1990s and it would have changed the world as we know it.


Dear Sloan, please copy and paste the below into your word processor and do with it as you see fit. 


The Hydrogen powered car is a reality. When it is looked back on, T. Townsend Brown will be the father. Mr. Brown engineered a series of vehicles and internal combustion engines to run on hydrogen and the hydrogen relative known as Yull Brown’s Gas(HHO also called oxyhydrogen). T.T. Brown did this in his lab at Winston Salem NC. The thing that scared so many people aware of his successes was that violent blowback, backfires, and internal flame were inherently an issue with early development of hydrogen as a fuel. With the flammability/combustibility of hydrogen the gas required careful regulation, precisely machined throttle systems, and owners who would take care of their vehicles. Townsend Brown conceptualized two methods: a fuel cell that would contain hydrogen or brown’s gas and protect driver’s from explosions. Brown also proposed that if an anhydride could be formulated, just as kitty litter soaks up the ammonia from cat urine- the right anhydride could be engineered to suck up hydrogen and render it safe


The Atomic Energy Commission was not so happy with Lazar- the anhydride he was manufacturing could potentially be made with a particle accelerator and in the cleaving of hydrogen from water, someone might make a hydrogen bomb. This in the words of Penn & Teller: bullshit! Electrolysis could do no such thing with water, it simply transitions water from a liquid to either hydrogen and oxygen or Brown’s gas.


Nevada Representative and later Senator Harry Reid was no friend of development of hydrogen engine. He encouraged overzealous regulatory behavior which stopped much promising research and development, putting pressure on the AEC which was headquartered at Nevada's National Security Site, known informally as Los Alamos National Laboratory. 


Lazar was never allowed to market his system because the AEC was hung up on the anhydride. Because Lazar’s patents were restricted, people cannot look at the rough sketch of his system or his anhydride. Lazar’s technology could be installed in a new or used car or truck. In 1992, Lazar advertised $8,000 to put his tech in a car or truck.

 

In the meantime, others have had special shielding equipment made into their trunks and they install small to medium cylinders of hydrogen, regulators, and then run metal tubing into their fuel injection systems and some will add different methods of top cylinder lubrication. Some produce their own Brown’s Gas via Electrolysis and some refine it further to just get the hydrogen. They use it to charge their cylinders.


For a car the size of a 4 door Toyota Yaris or Prius the 1.6litre engine can range 220-240 miles off a gallon of water, being very precise with the stoichiometry. A heavier sedan with a 2.0 to 2.2 liter engine can range 200 miles on hydrogen or Brown’s gas generated at home. 


However as the National Transportation Safety Administration have pointed out on numerous occasions, tanker trucks(18 wheelers) which haul volatile chemicals in gaseous form or at the precipice of change from liquid to gas, to make the hauling of anhydrous ammonia safer, to make hauling acetylene used in cutting torches, propane= anhydrides have been developed to line the tankers hauled on US highways. Those patents are not trade secrets and they use much prior art that is public. The result is quite simply that anhydrides are being developed by private citizens and private corporations to further reduce the risk of the use of hydrogen as fuel. Different methods and different materials, some inspired by kids toys, some inspired by industrial and agricultural applications, and some inspired by government/armed forces use. 


There is tremendous potential energy in water. Burning hydrogen is clean and the combustion of the Brown’s gas can lead to the by-product of oxygen release.


Toyota, GM, Hyundai, and Honda have all built hydrogen vehicles and made them safe enough to lease to people who report excellent driveability. They are:


GM Electrovan

Toyota FCHV

Honda FC

Hyundai Tuscon

Toyota Mirai


It is strange that corporations are several generations into hydrogen vehicles. Private citizen scientists, engineers, and tinkerers are coming up with their own home brew setups. But mass production is headed off by the US federal government and automakers who will only test their vehicles off US shores and not sell them, only lease them. Even when the projects are a success the vehicles are recalled as property of the companies and they are destroyed. 


Electric vehicles use electricity we don’t have due to the fact we are using the maximum natural resources we have. The batteries that propel these vehicles eventually quit taking a charge- that is the nature of a battery. The problem is that we then have to deal with the waste created by these huge batteries and much of that waste is toxic. How many Yucca Mountains can we have in this country? We should not have the Yucca Mountain we have. 


The Buffalo Springfield band had a song: “There’s something happening here, and what it is ain’t exactly clear… …stop, baby, what’s that sound, everybody look what’s going down...”


    My mechanically retarded thoughts.


    Putting the Brown/Lazar technology in new cars and trucks worldwide would make Mother Nature’s land, sea and air creatures and Her waters, land, air and atmosphere very happy, and would destroy the economies of countries whose main cash cow is oil production. Russia would be up shit creek, as would Iran and the oil producing nations in the Middle East and Venezuela. The oil industries in countries like America, Canada, Great Britain and Norway would be devastated.


    Adios gas stations in America and everywhere else. Adios Tesla, etc. The cost of car and truck fuel would be so low that it would be irrelevant. The fuel cost saving$ would be MASSIVE in the private, industrial, manufacturing and all business and government sectors. 


    I live in a 1950s vintage apartment building in Birmingham, Alabama. All of the tenants park their cars and trucks on the street. There are thousands of apartment buildings in Birmingham, which have only street parking. Where will their tenants charge their electric car batteries? Rhetorical question. Where will Birmingham warehouse worn out several thousand pound electric car batteries full of toxic waste?


    Every town, city and county in America will be just like Birmingham if America goes to fully electric cars and trucks. Factor in the rest of the world. That’s fucking CRAZY, when cars and trucks can run on tap water, and humanity can save Mother Nature and the Planet and, DUH, humanity and its pocketbook by using the Brown-Lazar technology in cars and trucks.


Post-Script


    Text of the mechanic’s follow up email, Labor Day, September 2, 2024:


A 2014 Dodge truck was converted to run off of Brown’s gas and then hydrogen. It was a 6.4 litre farm truck. The MDS cylinder oiling was programmed to run full time and from a separate supply of top cylinder lubricant. The throttle body was replaced with a servo-activated unit that took feedback from a set of MAP sensors and a set of hydr-ox sensors, as well as drive-by cable control. Two flowmeters that allowed more brown’s gas or hydrogen to flow as needed by engine consumption were used as well. As the anhydride requires enrichment and is subject to patent, a double walled tank was made to ISO standards on each wall, it could be filled to 110% capacity at each wall. The spark plugs were replaced with a piezo igniter that fired only as the reluctor wheel provided pulse to a crank trigger ignition. As this all effectively violates emissions controls as well as being non-crash tested and thus is illegal to perform these modifications, brown’s gas was generated from distilled water, and hydrogen was later refined from brown’s gas- each step requiring electrolysis- the brown’s gas and later hydrogen were used to fill the double wall tank. The tank was incorporated to have a fill valve on each side of the tank, one connected to the feed of brown’s gas or hydrogen, and the other connected to a gaseous vacuum(same as a vacuum centrifuge) pump such that the double wall tank could be filled with brown’s gas or hydrogen. 

 

-None of this is provided to the EPA for testing and destruction, thus it is modifying an EPA approved emmissions system which is illegal. Despite building a double wall container to house brown’s gas and later hydrogen to ISO standards which are more rigorous than DOT standards, because units are not provided to DOT, the system is not DOT legal or listed. None of these standards can be easily or cheaply overcome, if at all.  

 

The irony is- and I remember this because it was the last thing I ever welded- I found the ANSI and ISO specs for a hydrogen vessel(container) and that hydrogen cell was one smaller square(which held browns gas or hydrogen) and it was built into another bigger square container. Both square boxes exceeded DOT specs for transport of hydrogen- I know because I built three of these double tanks and I sent one to a lab that did crush testing, one we designed a test, and we kept. Crush testing is where you take a container and you put your container into a tank that is full of water and then the tank is either pressurized or vacuum is used and you can see how much pressure it takes for container to implode or explode- you try for 3x the standard you aim for, a lot of people go for DOT. Our choice was to use ANSI and ISO specs and the container for the hydrogen took 4x-5x the ISO and ANSI ratings to destroy- ANSI and ISO are already stronger than DOT. The test we designed was to put a piezo electric spark device on one side of the inner tank(also called the bladder) and then fill up that inner tank with hydrogen then you use tig to shut the outer tank(also called a pressure containment shield). Piezo devices are easy to setup to be fired(sparked) wirelessly. We triggered the piezo and it was like a loud burp or fart- neither container actually ruptured, and we had the inner bladder filled to at least 110% of what DOT requires and it was more like 125%.


DOT and EPA still consider what we did illegal. They prosecute and heavily fine you for breaking DOT policy- ie DOT wants to demand a predetermined number of hydrogen cells and they take them and fail or pass them. If they do not like the inital batch they ask for more, so it gets really expensive to satisfy them. DOT also will fail them indefinitely as according to them- any fuel which is to be used on-road is subject to the state and federal "highway use" tax- one of the whole points to do hydrogen or brown's gas power is to avoid the expense of gas or diesel or biodiesel.

EPA says that they certify an engine for a model year and if you alter it in anyway that causes it to differ from how it came from the factory for that model year- you have committed a crime and you're subject to jail time and civil monetary penalties- doesn't matter if you made the engine run cleaner. 

Then you have the AEC and the patent office if you want to develop an anhydride. You want the anhydride processed such that it is about to decay at an atomic level- so that when you feed gaseous or liquified brown's gas or hydrogen into the fuel bladder, the anhydride is stabilized because hydrogen and brown's gas both bond to the anhydride and keep it stable. AEC has made it pretty clear that doing this is not happening in the United States. 

The End

This is the last I'm talking about this. Period and that is final.

America's radical right Christian Inquisition led by their grab women by their pussy pope

mug shot

    This morning, my Appalachian hillbilly mystic friend Bob, who does the tech work for my books at the free internet libraries and The Redneck Mystic Lawyer Podcast at YouTube and Torrent platforms around the world, emailed a report of his conversation with a Native American woman, who read yesterday’s the redneck mystic’s not so sweet home Alabama and related brain f**ked stupid America shitcoms post at this blog:

She grabbed me as I walked by, this sort of contact is not taboo. If you are "well liked, people will wonder why you smile and wave rather than stop so they will grab you by the forearm. 
She told me in reference to the previous thing you wrote, "I have never liked or watched sitcoms. The last one I suffered through was Mork and Mindy. But I think your friend Sloan is correct: we are in an America reduced to a SHITcom. Mork is running for the White House and Mindy is the incumbent VP. Shitcom America."

    I heard “Inquisition” in a nap dream yesterday afternoon and woke up thinking about America's radical Christian right and their grab women by their pussy pope trying to take over America.

    When I finally crawled into bed around midnight, I looked in my Apple Newsfeed and saw a Project 25 Huff Post article that sent cold chills running up and down my spine.

Trump Tells Crowd 'You Won't Have To Vote' Again After Election In Bizarre Remarks

"It’ll be fixed, it’ll be fine," the GOP presidential nominee told Christians at a faith-focused event in Florida.

GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump told Christians on Friday to vote “just this time” and said they “won’t have to do it anymore” after the election in November.

“You won’t have to do it anymore — four more years, you know what? It’ll be fixed, it’ll be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore,” the former president told the crowd at the Believers Summit, a faith-focused event in Florida.

“You’ve got to get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not going to have to vote.”

It’s unclear what Trump was referring to in his remarks.

He has previously said that he’d act like a dictator only on “day one” of a second term, called for the “termination” of articles of the Constitution, attempted a coup to remain in the White House, and appeared to float the idea of serving a third presidential term.

The former president’s new comments arrive roughly four months after The American Conservative, a magazine and partner organization of the far-right Project 2025 agenda, published an article calling for the repeal of the 22nd Amendment, which limits presidents to two terms, as Media Matters for America reported at the time.

Trump — whose running mate, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), has written a book foreword for an architect of Project 2025 — on Wednesday claimed that he has “nothing to do with” and knows “nothing about” the right-wing policy blueprint.

    Then, I saw a Guardian Project 25 article, which sent more cold chills running up and down my spine.

Heritage Foundation leader has long received spiritual guidance from group and his policy goals align with its teachings

What is Project 2025 and what is Trump’s involvement?

08:00 EDT Friday, 26 July 2024

Kevin Roberts, the Heritage Foundation president and the architect of Project 2025, the conservative thinktank’s road map for a second Trump presidency, has close ties and receives regular spiritual guidance from an Opus Dei-led center in Washington DC, a hub of activity for the radical and secretive Catholic group.

Roberts acknowledged in a speech last September that – for years – he has visited the Catholic Information Center, a K Street institution headed by an Opus Dei priest and incorporated by the archdiocese of Washington, on a weekly basis for mass and “formation”, or religious guidance. Opus Dei also organizes monthly retreats at the CIC.

The force behind Project 2025: Kevin Roberts has the roadmap for a second Trump term

In the speech – which he delivered at the CIC and was recorded and is available online – Roberts spoke candidly about his strategy for achieving extreme policy goals that he supports but are out of step with the views of a majority of Americans.

Outlawing birth control is the “hardest” political battle facing conservatives in the future, the 50-year-old political strategist said, but he urged conservatives to pursue even small legislative victories – what he called “radical incrementalism” – to advance their most rightwing policy objectives.

    When I woke up this morning, in my email was a Substack post from a fellow dying of cancer, which contained a bunch of memes produced by other people. He does a lot of memes posts that support his view. One meme in particular in his post today leaped out at me.

    

    A few days ago, a redneck mystic amiga in Georgia texted me that photo of Jeffrey Epstein and Kamala Harris. I asked her where she got the photo? She said, Tik Tok, which is a Red China social media platform. I did a google image search for "Epstein and Harris”, and a heap of stuff came up, including Slate, saying the photo above was made from this photo of Harris with her husband.    

    A few days later, my redneck mystic amiga ranted about the evil of abortion, even though she herself never had a child, and she was mentally, emotionally and sexually abused in her childhood by male relatives.

    She reads my posts at this blog, but sometimes it seems she forgets what she reads or it simply does not go in. 

    I told her the Bible says life begins with the first breath: look it up in Genesis, where God breathed into Adam’s nose and Adam became a living being. 

    I asked her if she actually believes a 3-month-old fetus Is a human being? She did not answer.

    I said anyone who believes a three month old fetus is a human being is crazy. 

    I told her she needed to take time with herself and get her head screwed on straight. I said that several times.

    Finally, she said she was brainwashed when she was young about abortion being a sin!

    I said again that she needed to take time with herself and get her head screwed on straight, and she needed to stop believing what people say on Tik Tok. And she needed to stop believing what Donald Trump says, and what any politician says, and what anyone who supports a politician says. 

    The other day, I received a text from Emily’s List, asking if I support federal legislation making Roe v. Wade the law of the land? I texted back, “I support God and Mother Nature’s abortion herbs.

    My redneck mystic amiga read my several blog posts about such herbs being used by women since the beginning of time, and in Colonial America, to regulate their menses and induce miscarriage- and Ben Franklin wrote about that and instructed Colonial women about it in his book, The American Instructor; and in God’s Court, American and all women have an unalienable right to use God’s and Mother Nature’s herbs to regulate their menses and induce miscarriage, if they do not wish to have a  baby- say, because they were raped; or their brother or father had sex with them; or they are with a man they don’t like and/or abuses them and they sure don’t want to have his child; or they are poor and cannot financially afford to have a child; or they work full time and do not have time or enough money to raise a child; or they have children already and do not want to raise another child; or they don’t feel well, or they are emotionally and/or mentally unstable, and do not feel able to be a good mother; or they are addicted to tobacco, alcohol, street or prescription narcotics and they do not wish to birth a child addicted to same drugs; or they simply do not want to be a mother; or they feel bringing a new child into this world today, to face what they face, is unconscionable, evil.

    I have yet to meet a “pro-lifer" who tried to prevent an abortion by offering to adopt and raise an unwanted child, or who offered to financially support a pregnant woman who did not want have her baby.

    I have known many pro-lifers, who complained about poor mothers having babies and being on Welfare, and when I said if those women could have abortions, they might not have babies and be on Welfare, the pro-lifers' eyes glazed over, as if I was not there talking with them.

     Earlier this year, my not great state of Alabama’s Supreme Court ruled frozen fertilized embryos are human beings, and clinics that create and store frozen fertilized embryos, and then lose or destroy them, can be sued under Alabama’s wrongful death statute by the woman who donated the egg and man who donated the sperm.

    Fucking CRAZY.

    If women someday get fed up with how men are running things, they can do something about it by going on strike and crossing their legs until things change or hell freezes over. 

    Post-script:

    After reading this post, which I republished at my Substack Newsletter, the fellow who posted the bogus photo of Jeffrey Epstein with Kamala Harris and went off on a long off topic rant when I pointed that out, posted at my Substack:

What's FUCKING CRAZY is the leftist fixation with infanticide. There are occasions where I would agree abortion should be an option, but just because you don't think you're ready? Who's ever really ready for parenthood? There's no comparable experience and no amount of books, videos or conversations can prepare you for that. And just like everything the left supports, the foot gets in the door through something that sounds reasonable to lots of people and quickly escalates to some bizarre extreme actions that only the deranged support. Abortion to save the mother's life, or in case of rape or incest (wonder if Ashley Biden aborted Joe's baby) can be understandable and still be unfortunate. The taking of innocent life is always a sad thing and should be avoided. But the left wants it available on an unlimited basis and at any stage. Partial birth and even total birth abortion is a woman's right!!! No, it's murder and all parties involved need their necks stretched. A woman just isn't ready so she's having her third abortion. She's ready for sterilization and some suggestions for new hobbies. If a pregnant woman and her unborn child are killed the killer is charged with the taking of two lives, as they should be. So why should unrestricted abortion be legal? It shouldn't. You talk about what was available to women in Revolution era America to abort the fetus. While what you say is true it's also true that people could own cannons, the same weapons as the military or anything else they could buy or build. Some of the richer people owned their own warships, it was part of what helped form the US Navy. But leftists don't want to hear any of that. They believe the state should have a monopoly on force, on violence. That's antithetical to the ideas this nation was founded on. The principal of dissolving the government when it becomes hostile to freedom is in the constitution. Which brings us to the same tired old bullshit that J6 was a coup. If you believe that the right, arguably the most heavily armed voting block in the nation, attempted a coup while unarmed, you're a special kind of stupid and need to turn off Fonzie Madcow and the other loons and troops at MSDNC. It's ludicrous and it shows you haven't got the ability to think for yourself. As a matter of mental hygiene you should probably avoid television anyway. Only this past Thursday a pro Palestine mob attacked capitol police, occupying and protesting in the capitol building. They were arrested but on Friday they were released and the charges dropped, but J6 protestors continue to rot in the gulags of DC while the FBI continues rounding up anyone who was in the area and isnya flaming leftist. I might add that the pro Palestine crowd didn't have rubber bullets fired at them and none of them were shot in the face like Ashli Babbett. While I don't support the genocide of the Palestinians and do support the restoration of their country to them, the double standard in treatment of the two crowds is telling. Regarding the pic of THROATUS, Commie LaWhorish and Epstein, Bill Clinton and Bill Gates good buddy being fake, Slate said that? Oh well stop the presses, Slate is well known as the paragon of journalistic integrity, the publication of record. Gimme a fuckin break. The fact is that this nation is headed for a divorce, we can't stand one another and can no longer agree on the basics. Hopefully it can happen peacefully but that's doubtful. The left will hang on and demand the American taxpayer fund the globalist agenda, unrestricted abortion, drag queens in the classroom and all manner of degeneracy until the spark is lit and their efforts blow up in their face. And just like all bullies they'll cry they're the real victims. They almost succeeded in Butler county a couple weeks ago, almost got what they think they want. They have no clue what they're wishing for, but eventually they will get it. For a preview read Kipling's When The Saxon Began To Hate.

Looks to me it would do you good to have several lives on this planet as a woman. A demon saved Trump that day, and he believes it was God. 
 
Him
How do you know it wasn’t?

Me

Angels trained me to see differently, and when I screw up, they let me know. A demon saved Trump that day, and God finally persuaded Joe Biden to step down, and I hoped the Demoncrats would pick someone other than Harris.
