But: Should one really let the children play with a 3-percent bomb?

I remember there once were two journalists who exposed a cover-up in Washington. Do you by any chance know of a single responsible press person todate?

As much as I want to believe the Collider is safe, I could believe (based on the attacks of expert liars against you — and I take this to be highly indicative) that there might be something worth suppressing (from their perspective that is). What could be more dangerous than the truth?! Time and again “somebody” is hard at work work against it, working very hard to keep information suppressed.

In any case, the Collider may be the least of our problems and a 3% chance might be a worthy gamble on what could be the greatest opportunity to take that next big leap in understanding the cosmos.

I see no (willing) change coming in the currently entrenched ways of doing business and government, despite the talk of mystics that this is the time of great change. A world changing event at/from the Collider might be just the thing to wake the human race up, as terrible as that would be. It’s going to take some Event to get our collective attention.

Just something to consider.

Thanks for the kind words

With your patience and your turning the other cheek, and keeping to the point of your message, you set a very high example.

I knew you are a sweet soul. But I also appreciate the ingenious irony in your remarks. If only the CERNians and the SCUNians could appreciate it.
Take care,
Otto

This runs counter to the grain of most of humanity. It shows you are a true human being, willing to love all of us despite the fact there are many who contradict you.

Since this is the characteristic of the greatest prophets of religion such as Buddha, and Jesus, with the notorious exception of Mahommed, sorry to say, this suggests that you may be destined for sainthood in the future if your Warning to the Earth is successful.

What is needed is a full statement from yourself correcting their prejudicial claims which the public can read and judge for itself. This statement appears to be such an account, and we certainly plan to read it fully soon. But as a first reaction to your beginning, can you be more explicit as to where you are coming from — what journalist friend (name not necessary, but experience and status would be helpful, together with his reasons)? What two blogs are prejudicial against you and where do they originate?

The phenomenon of attacks on outlying mavericks and qualified dissenters from the norm, attacks from sites the defenders of conventional wisdom set up strictly for that purpose, is not a new one in current major Web battles over truthful information and analysis when those dissenters call conventional wisdom into question, and seem to be qualified. An example of the egregiously misleading and wrongly titled AIDStruth.org site in the war over the HIV/AIDS paradigm, a continuing war which is little known to the general public.

Ignorance and misinformation run free these days, as the Tea Party in America shows. They have web sites and are armed with the same access to the Internet as the truthseekers whom they often outnumber.

But truth is not a democracy, just as science is not a democracy. It is not decided by numbers.
