  The Vanishing Point Where improbably becomes impossible RADIO FAR SIDE Let’s perform a little thought experiment today. I apologize that this will involve some math. Believe me, I got a headache doing it, so bear with me as I regale you with my Quadrivium training (Reasoning with Numbers). Imagine a sphere with a radius of 150 yards, with the center point located on a roof (dangerously sloped of course). The sphere represents everything within the field of view of a shooter, and the radius is the distance of the target from the center point. Let’s convert that into a circumference (C) measured in feet (ft) (metric fans, you’re on your own): 1 yard=3 ft, so thus 150 yards=150×3=450 ft Now, C=2π×450, thus C=900π, with π≈3.14159 C≈900×3.14159=2827.43 ft At this point, we can project a 6-foot tall man onto the known circumference of our circle, at a distance of 450 ft. This becomes a simple ratio that is expressed in degrees of angular size relative to the circumf...

  "Counting Votes to Decide Everything" Zionist Zealotry and the Ballot Box. Which Zionist Political Party Will You Pick? ANTHONY JAMES HALL Many dozens of elections throughout the world are taking place during 2024. Not surprisingly, the most widely and closely watched of these electoral rituals is the US presidential contest. In 2023 the  The Economist  ominously predicted that in the forthcoming year of mass voting, “Donald Trump Poses the Biggest Danger to the World.” In this essay I shall highlight the elections in the USA, the UK, and Canada. These three cases as well as many others revolve around growing factionalism within Zionism and within the larger Jewish community based inside and outside Israel. These antagonisms figure prominently among the growing tensions generated by the genocidal assault in Gaza and the West Bank. The intensity and duration of this onslaught to advance the longstanding quest to de-Palestinianize Israel, is helping to inflame a larger co...
