First Marine Plane Curtiss C-3 USMC 1913

In the sense of this website, shorthopping means analyzing and penetrating the hard kernels of aberrations in “normal” development of a class of activity.  The two specimens of  current interest are the credit crisis flowing from the subprime market failure and counterterrorism activities flowing from 911.  It is fair to say that both these cases involve reactive, not proactive reflexes.  If parameters of climate change are really likely to cause major disruption, three items are up for inspection.

Another fair observation is that the victims are generally not equipped to deal with the hard kernels seeding the crises, so some sort of intervention is  warranted.  This is the hard part.  The Triad position that the planet is an organic part of a larger organization is both an opportunity and a challenge.  Expansion of resources is welcome, but applying them is going to include judgment external to a power structure generally driven by the perception of sponsoring interests, e.g. Wall St. vs. Organized Labor or Muslims vs. Jews.  If an impression to be included in Triad Phase IV has any weight, an organization external to the planet is sensitive to this, as evidenced by this story:

• Marine Adjutant Col. … posted a camp off limits after an informal competition got out of control.  He then formed a group for a luncheon meeting.  Another chap and I got everything wrong and didn’t fit in.  We went for an independent lunch and got lost and demoralized.  A Staff Sgt. found us, pulled us along to rejoin the group and asked a few questions about a helicopter which got into trouble and glided to safety in a large tree.  I said I did not think a helicopter was capable of that kind of glide path.  The Sgt. then asked me my education level and I responded BSME.  – Oh – Then some written exams, all of which I did very poorly on.  At this point, a very senior man appeared out of thin air, asked what was going on, and looked at the exams.  They were for mechanics.  When a new set for the undergraduate level were produced, I did OK.  I still did not understand why this was going on but went along with it.  It ended when the very senior man told the Staff Sgt. that I was leaving with him.

Validating this impression is the first step to implementation, so it may be productive to acknowledge progress made with IPv8 as applied to Germany’s unease about prospects for success in Afghanistan.  This Phase VI impression should be relevant.

• A short convoluted story about the old man’s dealings with certain groups of humans – Several hangman’s nooses were included. – A confrontation between the United States and another nation with a significant nuclear arsenal precipitated by their attempt to steal time and space fold technology.  The old man intervened. – A violin inverted at a 45 degree angle.  (4-26-10)

Probing fog and chaff with IPv8 has yielded a number of examples illustrating consequences if this discipline gets out of focus.  Pearl Harbor is one well known example and Mr. Kaufman’s “The Food Bubble” is another.  The latter example deserves some detailing.  In his Harper’s article, Mr. Kaufman points out that with Goldman Sachs’ food index, speculators found a way to roll over long positions in wheat without ever delivering, creating a phantom derivative demand.  This phantom market apparently added 250 million people to the food deprived population, sparking riots in more than 30 countries.  At this point, the market reached the point of hysteria.  It does not take too much imagination to extrapolate this abuse of a commodity index and apply it to Eric Janszen’s argument.  Priorities remote organizations have placed on this point are reflected in this Phase VII impression.

• A senior military officer tried several innovations to build consensus among his generals but their training would not allow the exercise to yield what he was looking for. – Several encounters between tech savvy juvenile delinquents and two devils.  Self imposed rules of engagement established by the devils resulted in several standoffs. – Several attractive locations in the Southern Hemisphere – A stainless bowl filled with egg yolks and cream – A modern laboratory  (6.15.10)
