Can Inflation and Deflation Coexist?, Part IIIComments on: - by http://robertringer.com/2008/12/can-inflation-and-deflation-coexist-part-iii/ In Support of Laissez-Faire Capitalism and Individual Freedom Thu, 17 May 2012 03:08:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Pitchhttp://robertringer.com/2008/12/can-inflation-and-deflation-coexist-part-iii/#comment-2143 Pitch Sun, 21 Dec 2008 20:41:52 +0000 http://blog.robertringer.com/?p=293#comment-2143 Robert: Please except my apologies for my last non-post, reference discussion #3 dated 12-19-08 with your thoughts on the possibilities of Inflation and Deflation coexisting. I must tell you that I did not even read your words of wisdom, so shame on me for being so rude! As I went back and actually read and mulled over your “one of a kind” grasp of unlimited subject matter, you tweaked my interest in the Red Giant Star “Betelgeuse” which by the way is pronounced Beetle Juice and is located some 600 light years from our little rock we all call home. Following are a few interesting facts (best guesses). Though a relatively young star, Betelgeuse also is aging very rapidly. The sun has an estimated remaining life expectancy of 4 billion or more years, but Betelgeuse may not make it through the next 5 million. As red giants do, it is consuming its nuclear fuel so fast it will not be able to resist the pull of gravity much longer. When that happens, Earth-based observers will know, because Betelgeuse will destroy itself in a supernova explosion, which will be visible here even in daylight. The question is whether Betelgeuse has enough mass to collapse into a black hole and cause a gamma-ray burst. It is an important distinction. Debris - in the form of gas and particles - from a supernova forming could cause problems on Earth, but not for hundreds or thousands of years after the light from the explosion arrived. Humanity would have some time to prepare. In the case of a GRB, (gamma ray burst) however, the radiation would arrive at the same time as the light. Unless deep space outposts of the time gave some warning, the event could come as a rude awakening and severe disruption in our entire stellar neighborhood. But not to worry, NASA's “Swift Gamma-Ray Explorer Satellite” rocketed into space in 2004 on a mission to study some of these highest-energy events in the universe. The spacecraft has detected more than 380 gamma-ray bursts, fleeting flares that likely signal the birth of a black hole in the distant universe and In that time,” Swift” has also observed 80 exploding stars and studied six comets. Plans are in place to launch many more and far more sophisticated GRB detection satellites into deep space for real time warnings here on Planet Earth of such events taking place that might help save a few of our species from total extinction? That is if there is money left in the “Swift 11” budget program after the latest round of bail outs and those sure to follow for at least the next 4 years>>>> Heck, being prepared to live like a mole and having enough warning to do so sounds far more appealing than being instantly fried by one of our closest “Bully Bad Boy Red Giant Stars,” when it finally decides to go on its last and final Nuclear Energy Feeding Frenzy with all the resultant possible ramifications. Even though “Beetle Juice” is a “gluttonous over eater,” all the brilliant minds and computer models don’t give much likely hood of this last act catastrophic event taking place anytime in the near future…..so , me thinks it could possibly be more prudent to study and take some appropriate “ACTIONS” in other areas of far more timely importance? So, like an attorney, with my deepest apologies, please allow me to rephrase my last non-post! Since you don’t make predictions, but merely educated guesses do you guess there might be some probability of an Islamic Society coexisting with a Civilized Society? Or do you guess that such a Barbarian Society might just perhaps destroy planet earth much sooner than a Barbarian-Gluttonous out of control Giant Red Star or the incestuous relationship of Depression-Inflation run amok? Hmmm, but in the final analysis as you have always lamented, each of us will all have our atoms rearranged one way or another sooner or later so not to worry! So, here’s wishing you and those dear a Holiday filled with joy and a New Year with much positive achievement and healthy atoms! Robert:

The question should be can Islam and Civilized Societies coexist? After all, as an example, based on our present “Reality;” if a major portion of the United States of America is literally destroyed and reduced to ashes with a split second fire storm initiated by crazed Barbarians with millions and millions of innocent men, women and children vaporized along with our very basic infrastructure I submit to you that Inflation or Deflation will be of absolutely no relevance whatsoever. I would like to hear your thoughts on this timely subject? After all, our so-called Department of Homeland Security [sic] steadfastly refuses to even consider closing the multitudes of radical Mosques that are now located and fully functional within the United States of America. Mosques that have been proven beyond doubt to be teaching their young innocent members the exact scenario that I have briefly described above. How in the world can anyone believe there is a more important subject matter to be brought to the forefront for intelligent discussion and interaction? Gee, don’t you think it’s about time you had another dream about your unsubscribe e-mail link? Pitch sez:

Folks like Martin Weiss claim the dollar will be the world's safe haven for the next year or two because global wealth destruction outpaces the bailouts ten to one and America has far less credit exposure than everyone else to emerging nations. Aparently the dollar is the least ugly so it will remain the reserve currency that the world turns to. I'm not sure I see the connection.
