And the Oskar Goes to…German “Death Ray!”

Will The Rusnano Group investor in Tri-Alpha Energy win best supporting role? Either way, Ruskies’ hedged their bets. Appears the Russians supplied a device to generate a beam, or the reported German “Death Ray.”

No surprise plastic doll lost. Let’s get REAL; the only doll is the Talented Taylor.

Paradoxical, muttering in the same breath “Father of the Atomic Bomb” and a little girl’s doll. Or what DEFCON 1 calls ‘COCKED PISTOL’ and peasants’ choice of cheap plastic propaganda!  

Yes, even more paradoxical to showcase a family living side by side a border fence separating itself from a neighboring enemy. US, you’re not new to this. Border cages have their roots in internment camps.

Japanese American families know of which I speak. But “the show must go on!”

Hollywood, perhaps next year you may unveil this dark reality and tell the story of “Sadako Sasaki and the Thousand Paper Cranes.” Not heard of it? Go to Study.com. But I warn you, unlike war, sex and dolls, it ‘inspires hope and peace’ not profits at the box office.

Odd that the ‘Manhattan’ was simply called a project when it was the biggest atomic operation of World War II. It was so successful that US Military opted to change the name of their future ‘projects’ to Operations.

Oh sure, US global enemies exist, but the majority now have a new name, Competitors. Starting with the grand economic competitor, China. Top of their nuclear list: Russia, DPRK and Iran.

Billionaires, CEOs of tech and space companies, are funded by US DoE and DoD, building rockets and nuclear reactor plants to power them.

Hollywood, here’s a story you may like to remake, “Hollywood, Silicon Valley and Russia Join Forces on Nuclear Fusion.”  Hmm, a little “too on the nose”?

Ok, how about“The Secret U.S.-Russian Nuclear Fusion Project”

So will it be a California private company who wins or will it be their very own NIF (National Ignition Facility). How about the French based International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER)?

Russia, BTW, speaking of atomic and nuclear power, I understand why Ukraine terminated their membership in December 2022. Question is, why did Russia’s JINR suspend in 2015 the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea?

More importantly, what’s coming up the pipeline? Newly dug tunnels? Here’s what I see.

Vlad, in my June 2021 paper “GOING UNDERGROUND: Particle Accelerators to Power Systems,” I break down this engineering feat we not only discover its complexity but how undergrounding infrastructure is built on the interdependence of multilateral systems. Here are some highlights.

TUNNELS to Accelerators to TOWERS

European countries managed to design, build and maintain the underground 100 metres 27 km circumference circular Large Hadron Collider tunnel. CERN continues to operate this infrastructure after more than half a century as a particle accelerator.

Discovery and harnessing of the atom facilitated nuclear power.

Tri-Alpha Energy, American company, Board Members include CEOs of GE and Rusnano Group.

TAO, are you hiding in plain sight at the woodsy Foothill Ranch near Research Park of the University of California, Irvine OR is this location simply a decoy?  

Mr. President, what do you see?

“Whoever does not miss the Soviet Union has no heart. Whoever wants it back has no brain.” – Vladimir Putin (Putin, V. Welcome Address. In Institute of the Information Society (IIS) (2005).

I see an opportunity for Electric Russia! Rusnano Group investment ventures into nuclear energy are not only in the U.S. but reportedly stretch across Europe, China, and Israel.

New chain reactions can give rise to new nuclear energy power sources. New China-Iran Deal is looking like a very sweet deal.

Vlad, in my April 3, 2021 paper, “Electric Russia: Rise of Information Society, Cyberspace and New Nuclear Energy Power Source” I observe:

 “I am convinced that sooner or later we’ll be confronted with decisions which we cannot even imagine right now…New problems will arise.” – Vladimir Putin [translation from a 2016 interview with US Film Director Oliver Stone

In his prescient statement, was President Putin referring to the imminent pandemic or a new nuclear power plant?

“The Rusnano Group, a venture firm created by the government of Russia, is the latest investor to jump into Tri-Alpha Energy, one of the most potentially groundbreaking and mysterious companies in tech” was reported back in 2013 in Forbes.

Why and How? Recall when “It was back when Tri-Alpha was still known as CBFR, short Colliding Beam Fusion Reactor.” It appears that the Russians supplied a device to generate a beam, or should we call it the reported German “Death Ray.”

World War II observers’ accepted wisdom or judgement – To the allied victors go the German spoils – cradle of Nuclear Power and Space Race. 

End of the war was not only the beginning of space travel but of a new GRID. A power source to generate a new energy needed to be built, and built fast. After almost a century, the game plan can be found in the energy alliance between Russia, Europe and the US.

I present this in Power of Fusing Electricity  ҉   

Germany’s fall left few standing – experts in possession of highly classified material including nuclear power and space craft blueprints. Allies were fast to grab and go. Soviets, Britain, and U.S. world power domination began. 

Nuclear power stations were suddenly up and running in the Soviet Union, UK, and US within ten years. In time, German expertise and intellectual property literally “mushroomed” into the Allied forces nuclear power possession.

China’s reported appropriation of IP seems slight by comparison. Still, it’s funny to see U.S. gloating with pride of “American innovation” and presumed IP take a defensive stand against China.  Soviets and English were expected to smirk and ridicule such arrogance. 

New Nuclear and Quake PastFuture

Live near a nuke reactor? Hear there are plenty in dessert states. Heard of “The China Syndrome” or Japan’s Fukushima nuclear accident? Amazing what a tsunami and quake can do.

Quake anyone? Taiwan, lucky for you US and China needs you. Haiti may be jealous.

For Californians, April is ‘Earthquake preparedness month.” Right, a ploy to get their people to buy emergency water, some goodies and a first-aid kit. Sadly, your government is not prepared.

Silicon Valley, luckily Taiwan is your backup for chips. Oops, they just had another quake. Recall my words last year in “Affair in Taiwan’ In the Year of the Rasky Rabbit!”

A bad situation can get worse. Imagine if Taiwan was not able to return to your “semiconductor table.” Well it’s the year of the fire breathing Dragon.

My friends, here’s the sad and ugly truth. Not only is your government not prepared for the next pandemic, but you’re SOL when the big one hits.

Famine and pestilence are said to be the biggest problems nations face. Solve? Fools, really need to ask AI? Since before Roman times, Republics, Tyrants and Dictators have long solved such ‘problems.’ Genocide and Wars!

Problem of Overpopulation? Governments see opportunities in crises – Natural and Man-Made Disasters!

By your God, Caesar and Alexander can be heard crying with pride and envy! 

Just Cause? Avarice abounds across all continents. In these you call ‘modern times,’ Energy is mastered by those shoulder to shoulder with strength of Military and Economy.

It is the use of their fourth weapon, soft power of Diplomacy sinisterly veiling their true intent: Ravish your land and resources. Recall Diplomat Benjamin Franklin’s words, “Diplomacy should never be a Siege but a Seduction.”

But the West forgets that after French wench was seduced by the Americans, it wasn’t long before rest of Europe sieged her! 🙂

Future generations, Honorable Comrades, stand to gain and lose in the next century of the nuclear powered world. Or, will Oppenheimer’s fear be realized, “I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.”

But fear not and distract yourself with a movie! And while you’re at it buy some popcorn and soda. Bad for you?

Oh, come now, life is short. Not for OSCAR. He’ll be 100 in four years!
