S.F. in 1906

Something to Ponder

by admin - 2010-11-21 ( education / history / measurements ) [html version]

Railroad tracks

The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number.

Why was that gauge used? Because that's the way they built them in England, and English expatriates designed the US railroads.

Why did the English build them like that? Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the pre-railroad tramways, and that's the gauge they used.

Why did they use that gauge then? Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they had used for building wagons, which used that wheel spacing.

Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing? Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break on some of the old, long distance roads in England, because that's the spacing of the wheel ruts.

So who built those old rutted roads? Imperial Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe (including England ) for their legions. Those roads have been used ever since.

And the ruts in the roads? Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match for fear of destroying their wagon wheels.

Since the chariots were made for Imperial Rome, they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing. Therefore, the United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is derived from the original specifications for an Imperial Roman war chariot. In other words, bureaucracies live forever.

So the next time you are handed a specification/procedure/process, and wonder, What horse's behind came up with this? , you may be exactly right.

Imperial Roman army chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the rear ends of two war horses. (Two horses' behinds.)

Now, the twist to the story: When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, you will notice that there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs. The SRBs are made by Thiokol at their factory in Utah.

The engineers who designed the SRBs would have preferred to make them a bit larger, but the SRBs had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site. The railroad line from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in the mountains, and the SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track, as you now know, is about as wide as two horses' behinds.

So, a major Space Shuttle design feature of what is arguably the world's most advanced transportation system was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a horse's behind. And you thought being a horse's behind wasn't important?

So, horse's behinds control almost everything. Explains a whole lot of things, doesn't it?

"The facts are: covid-19 is a real disease that sickens some, proves fatal to others -- mostly the elderly -- and does nothing to the vast majority. That's it.

The scientists leading the coronavirus shutdown charge predicted [that] in America between 100,000 and 250,000 would die. They based those estimates on computer modeling. But at the same time, they were acknowledging computer modeling is inaccurate and errs on the side of hype."

Yeah, lots died in the camps. It's too bad that pretty much nobody has heard of or knows about the "transfer agreement". It was between Hitler and the Zionists. The agreement was that the "better/richer" Jews could go to Palestine while the leftovers would stay in Germany as a WORK FORCE to the "war effort".

Is it believable that the Germans didn't exactly feed those workers real well? The common MYTH is that they were gassed. Why gas your workers? They were SPRAYED with Zyklon-B for DELOUSING PURPOSES and which is why their heads were shaved (fleas passed TYPHUS along, which was a major killer that the Germans DID NOT want their workers to die from or they couldn't work any longer!

Copied from https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2021/08/nullifying_nuremberg.html

1. The voluntary consent of the human subject is essential. This means that the person involved should have the legal capacity to give consent; should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, over-reaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion; and should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved, as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision. This latter element requires that, before the acceptance of an affirmative decision by the experimental subject, there should be made known to him the effects upon his health or person, which may come from his participation in the experiment;
2. The experiment should be such as to yield fruitful results for the good of society, unprocurable by other methods or means of study, and not random and unnecessary in nature;
3. The experiment should be so designed and based on the results of animal experimentation;
4. The experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury;
5. No experiment should be conducted where there is an a priori reason to believe that death or disabling injury will occur;
6. The degree of risk to be taken should never exceed that determined by the humanitarian importance of the problem to be solved by the experiment;
7. Proper preparations should be made, and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote.webp possibilities of injury, disability, or death;
8. The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons. The highest degree of skill and care should be required through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage in the experiment;
9. During the course of the experiment, the human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end if he has reached the physical or mental state where continuation of the experiment seems to him to be impossible;

anybody who still thinks biden's "government" is good is delusional.

Similar to the 75 years they wanted to HIDE the Pfizer documents, the illustrious Jan 6th committee wants to not make their records available for 30 years (kind of reminds me of how o'bama hid so many of his records).

On Sunday, April 2, 2023 at 10:24:25 PM

In case anyone wants documented proof that Pfizer has committed possibly the greatest crime in history (and the major media refuses to say a single word about it), I invite you to watch this video by Dr Naomi Wolf (a democrat) who created a team of volunteers to go through tens of thousands of pages that Pfizer was ordered by the court to release to the public.

They had wanted to wait 75 years to release it and you'll understand that it's because the documents are so damning.

I've been telling everyone who would listen about this insanely evil corporation for years and billions around the world naively trusted the evil governments with their health.

The book mentioned in the video was released 3 weeks ago and the proof of Pfizer's crimes comes from the fact they have not responded whatsoever to these claims. And media is silent because they are party to these same crimes for having promoted these toxic shots, guilty of advertising fraud.

Many will not believe anything if it doesn't come from these major TV stations, but since they are involved in these crimes, do you really think they will just confess? Isn't it more obvious they will try to bury it?

For those who already know about this medical fraud, consider buying the book to share.

If you know me, you can be sure I have more details I can provide of more crimes by pharma, governments and corporations. Just ask.

We must stop this medical fascism for future generations.

And if anyone really wants the full truth, you'll eventually discover the virtually everything we've been taught is a complete lie -- everything. It's almost beyond comprehension.

What is An Antisemite?

First of all, "antisemite" is a ridiculous term.

• Israel is a country;
• Zionism is a political movement;
• Judaism is a religion;
• Semite is an ethnicity.

The true antisemites (you know, the ones who created Israel and worked with Hitler on the "transfer agreement") call anybody an antisemite if they're against any one of those four.

• I don't care about Israel;
• I don't care about Judaism;
• I don't care about Semites (though I do care about the Ashkenazi/Khazarian fake Semites mentioned in Revelation 2:9 and Revelation 3:9 in the Bible);
• I am totally against Zionism, but if you go to YouTube and search for "Jews against Zionism," there's some videos.

So, they'll accuse me but not them of being "antisemitic."

• Mexico is a country;
• Hispanic is an ethnicity;
• Catholic is the predominant religion of Mexicans;
• Here's a list of Mexican political parties: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_parties_in_Mexico.

A Brief History of My Home Town, Folsom, California

by Bing Copilot - 2024-03-02 ( life / travel / usa / california ) [html version]

Prompted and edited by Bill. On a whim, I asked Bing Copilot (AI) to write a blog post about Folsom. Here's the result...

If you are interested in learning more about the history of Folsom, California, you might enjoy reading this blog post. Folsom is a city in Sacramento County that has a rich and diverse heritage, dating back to the Native American tribes, the Gold Rush era, and the development of the railroad and the electricity industry. Here are some of the highlights of Folsom's history:

• Folsom was originally named Granite City by Captain Joseph Libbey Folsom, who purchased a large land grant from the heirs of William Leidesdorff, a San Francisco businessman and civic leader. Folsom hired Theodore Judah, a railway engineer and surveyor, to lay out the town in 1855. After Folsom's death, his executors changed the name to Folsom in his honor.
• Folsom was the site of the first railroad in the West, the Sacramento Valley Railroad, which connected Sacramento to Folsom in 1856. The railroad brought supplies to the gold miners in the Sierra Nevada and transported passengers and goods to and from Sacramento.
• Folsom was also the site of the world's first long-distance transmission of electricity in 1895. The Folsom Powerhouse, now a National Historic Landmark, generated hydroelectric power from the American River and transmitted it over 22 miles to Sacramento. The powerhouse operated until 1952.
• Folsom Dam was built in 1956, creating Folsom Lake and providing flood control and water rights for the Sacramento Valley. The dam also spurred a surge of growth and development in Folsom, which was incorporated as a city in 1946.
• Folsom is home to several museums that showcase its history, such as the Folsom History Museum, which displays artifacts and exhibits related to the Gold Rush, the railroad, and the prison; the Folsom Powerhouse State Historic Park, which preserves the original powerhouse and its machinery; and the Folsom Prison Museum, which chronicles the history of one of California's oldest prisons.
• Folsom has a historic downtown district that offers a variety of shopping, dining, and entertainment options. The district features many historic buildings that have been restored and repurposed, such as the Sutter Street Theatre, which was once a livery stable; the Rainbow Bridge, which was built in 1916; and the Gaslight Company, which was once a gas station.

Folsom is a city that celebrates its past while embracing its future. It is a place where you can enjoy nature, culture, and community. If you want to learn more about Folsom's history, you can visit these websites:

Moldova's Southern Border

by bill - 2024-04-18 ( education / history / geography / eastern-europe ) [html version]

I wondered why Moldova's southern border -- clearly intentionally not letting it reach the Black Sea -- was drawn that way. After rephrasing my question in different ways, filtering out the pro-NATO b.s., this is what Bing Copilot finally came up with:

Copilot

Certainly! Let's explore the historical and geopolitical context behind Moldova's southern border:

1. Ancient Inhabitants:

• Moldova's territory was inhabited by ancient Dacians, and Moldovans identify themselves with their ancestors.

• During classical antiquity, Carpian tribes also inhabited Moldova's land³.

2. Roman and Byzantine Influence:

• Between the 1st and 7th centuries AD, the southern part of Moldova intermittently came under the control of the Roman and later the Byzantine Empires.

• Due to its strategic location on a route between Asia and Europe, Moldova faced invasions by various groups, including the Goths, Huns, Avars, Magyars, Pechenegs, Cumans, and Mongols¹.

3. Russian Annexation of Bessarabia:

• In 1812, following one of several Russian–Turkish wars, the eastern half of Moldova, known as Bessarabia, was annexed by the Russian Empire.

• The Treaty of Adrianople in 1829 pushed Russia's frontier south to include the Danube delta, further altering Moldova's southern border².

4. Moldavian Democratic Republic and Union with Romania:

• In 1918, Bessarabia briefly became independent as the Moldavian Democratic Republic.

• Following the decision of the Parliament (Sfatul Țării), it united with Romania.

• However, during World War II, Bessarabia was occupied by the Soviet Union, which reclaimed it from Romania¹.

5. Post-Soviet Independence:

• In 1991, after the dissolution of the USSR, Moldova declared independence as the Republic of Moldova.

• Despite its lack of direct access to the Black Sea, Moldova maintains connections through its river basins and geopolitical ties¹.

In summary, Moldova's southern border has evolved over centuries due to historical events, territorial shifts, and geopolitical influences. Its current configuration reflects a complex interplay of factors that have shaped its identity and position in Eastern Europe^{1 2}.

It's a very short history about what happened to the Russian monarchy before it was crushed by the communists in 1918. But don't dare think history is repeating.

And we all know Lionel and Harold were born immediately afterwards to help deal with that assault on humanity. While Leonard was a few years older, he helped lead the charge.

A History of Central Banking and the Enslavement of Mankind

I thought it interesting how without their usurious banking practices (charging "interest"), everybody was able to provide for themself and had lots of extra time to contribute to society by making the cathedrals or whatever.

Outstanding history of Jewish manipulation

by doug - 2025-06-29 ( education / research / conspiracies ) [html version]

But it's way more than that. This person was a proud Jew until very recently until he realized what was really going on He left one cult and joined a replacement (my own opinion). He talks about the Freemasons, Illuminati, Jesuits, Azov military in Ukraine, a group of Jews who are influencing Trump and much more. Really fascinating information that will surely include stuff you don't know. It's a deep dive. I almost stopped watching and then he got into how he was disillusioned about the Jewish cult he was in. He provides pictures of some of what he talks about. Don't miss this one.
