Morning musings...
recalling that Greek letters are often used as symbols, I started digging on Eta as a symbol: used to represent conformal time in cosmology, efficiency in telecommunications and elasticity in economics.
In economics, it refers to how much demand for a product changes with a change in price. Yesterday's recommendation on gold was to sell, anticipating a price drop. kitco.com/news/2020-11-1…
Also used as a symbol for time in cosmology. That level of physics is beyond my understanding, so I checked out the eta symbol and Cern. Sure enough, an article (presented as an April fools joke in 2018) about Humpty Dumpy referencing Alice in Wonderland. home.cern/news/news/cern…
Is the final frontier breaking up the illusion of time?
Official "time" is kept by the DoD under the USNavy, at the Naval Observatory, also the VP's residence. But in 2018, they announced the official clock is moving to a new facility. bizjournals.com/washington/new…
The US Naval Observatory's mission reminds me of the Bible, esp Book of Enoch.
Eta, downgraded to tropical storm, makes second landfall today, heading up the east coast. Yesterday @realDonaldTrump posted a livestream and this video of Veterans Day remembrances in steady pouring rain.
Prepare for heavier rains.
In today's "dog comms" news:
Turkmenistan's newly unveiled golden dog statue merits reporting in all the major news outlets. Turkmenistan you might recall borders Iran, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan (HBiden $), etc. It's a poor country despite rich natural resources, w a secretive gov.
It's on the Silk Road and one part of the former Tartarian empire. I find the architecture and sculpture interesting, and surely symbolic.
Dogs in mythology brought me to this article on Anat, ancient Canaanite deity (sometimes called Anit or Anti, like the prefix of "antifa"). Godess of sexuality and fertility, among other things she was referred to as the daughter-sister of Baal. ancientegyptonline.co.uk/anat/
How many times have we heard we're watching a movie?
So what's @realDonaldTrump favorite movie? Citizen Kane (homonym of Cain, brother of Abel, rhymes with McCain and McLean, VA (clown HQ)). Let's watch, shall we...? buzzfeed.com/alisonwillmore…
But first, background on this award winning 1941 film. Written by Orson Welles & Herman Mankiewicz, it's the thinly veiled story of media magnate Wm Randolph Hearst, whose methods of yellow journalism reaching 20mi readers emphasized sensationalism & "human interest" stories.
Hearst along with Pulitzer (a Hungarian-born yellow journalist prior to being known for his eponymous prize) both sensationalized and often made up, news. They famously made up Cuban atrocities, contributing to the Spanish-American War.
Competed in propaganda leading to a war.
There's another Goya besides @GoyaFoods: Francisco de Goya, late 18th/early 19th century artist. Could this be why @IvankaTrump and @realDonaldTrump are calling attention to Goya Foods so much? And why some are so upset about that attention...?
