Just Asking Obvious Questions: Should Israel Drop an Atom Bomb on Gaza? Would that End the War in ONE MINUTE?

We have Proof that Two Atom Bombs CURED the Japanese of their TOTALLY BAD ATTITUDE... 

They Changed their BELIEFS and Became NICE PEOPLE that make Great Cars and Electronics... Remember THAT When You Drive Your Honda... 

Just Asking Obvious Questions: Should Israel Drop an Atom Bomb on Gaza? Would that End the War in ONE MINUTE?

Yes, There is a Danger that the Radioactive Fallout Might Rain Down Upon Israel and Maybe Greece, Italy, Spain... but... 
at the Very Least... Should Israel Use Depleted Uranium Bullets and Shells... Would Genocide Would SOLVE THE PROBLEM Forever... Is Genocide a Bad Thing? Doesn't That Really Depend on the GENES? 

The USA is Sending Depleted Uranium Shells to Ukraine. That Will Cause Miscarriages for Thousands of Years. It's a Form of Genocide.

Those People Over There Have Proven That They Are Insane... and Now They Won't Be Having Insane Children... or Any Children...

In My Humble Opinion: President Biden Made a Mistake sending Depleted Uranium Munitions to Ukraine... The Genocide Will Harm People for A Thousand Years... LONG After the Memory of Why Putin Invaded Ukraine... or even Who Putin was... Obviously HE'S Insane... but He Could STOP Behaving Crazy if He Just "Happened" to Be Dead... Did you notice That Osama bin Laden Stopped Behaving Crazy After President Obama sent the Seal Team Six to Assassinate Him...

By Shooting Depleted Uranium Bullets from Guns We are Distributing that Radioactive Metal... Making Sure that Future Generations WILL NOT HAVE as Many Russians and Ukrainians. Classic Definition of Genocide...

PLUS... at no extra Charge... It's a Way to Dispose of Radioactive Waste from Nuclear Power Reactors... Why Store it in Casks when we can Simply Dump it on our Enemies?


Meetings with Remarkable Men - In Silicon Valley. Dr Edwin Van Wyck Zschau - President of System Industries and Later Congressman to the US House of Representatives...

I started working for Dr Zschau in 1975 and we built Disc Drive Controller Cards for Hospitals to Keep Patient's Charts. A Great Idea. We had a company Song that we Sang at Staff Meetings... Lyrics: 'System, System Industries... Here we go... Hand in Hand... Solving Data Mysteries... For the Betterment of Man.' He also worked at IBM and represented California's 12th District in the United States House of Representatives from 1983 to 1987.


On Family Day at the Factory, Mom and Dad took a Personal Guided tour with Dr. Zschau. The three of them had a fine time as my parents had never been in a room with a dozen disc drives spinning. Each one the size of a Washing Machine. It sounded like the Generator Room at Hoover Dam, but quieter.

Control Data Corporation Disc Drive

The reason we had a Company Song is that Dr Zschau had just gone to Japan and he wanted to Incorporate their Business Practices in our Company. First, he hired 20 People from Japan and brought them over to Run the Silonix Division. Then he instituted 'recommended' exercise lunches of two hour duration. I often went swimming at the Santa Clara International Swim Center with my First Ex-Wife who worked the Graveyard Shift at National Semiconductor.

In the Machine Shop there were two Boxing Punching Bags. If anyone felt stress at work, they could go punch the bags.

My Immediate Supervisor was Dan Aragaki, a Harley Davidson Riding, Martial Artist. Yes, I Simply Did what Dan told me to do Instantly Because... Not only was his Advice Correct, but I was Scared of the Man. (Or maybe that was Respect)

Ben Yamada made Elegant Clay Sculptures of the Ink Jet Printer Silonix was Inventing.

Aman Kawaja supervised the Assembly Line and Inspired the Ladies to Work Faster with Giant Charts on the Wall Tracking Production. 100% of the Assemblers were Female in 1975. They were better at hand eye coordination and manipulation of tiny objects than men.

David Yamada created Printed Circuit Board Artwork on Mylar using Black Chartpak Tape.  He also liked to go Helicopter Skiing in Canada. A Helicopter flew him to the Top of the Mountain in Banff, and David Skied Down.

Steve Wakasuki Refused to be Hurried at Work. He also created PCB Artwork also and no matter how much pressure Middle Management put on him to finish the drawings Quickly, he simply ignored them. Quality First.

Jesus Del Real was the Draftsman who sat next to me and did most of my training. I learned How to Draw the Drawings associated with PCB Manufacture from Jesus. When I moved to Washington DC the next year, my portfolio got me two job offers in one day. Thank You, Jesus!

I accepted the Job Offer from Major Paul Jones USAF and worked at Analytic Communications Systems for six years. Project TEMPEST.

Professor Ed Zschau ’61 serves as guru to budding entrepreneurs
By Jordan Paul Amadio ’05

It is the last day of class before winter break, and 65 seniors are mesmerized by a professor in a Bugs Bunny tie. For the past hour, he has been recounting the details of his autobiography — studying physics and philosophy at Princeton, running a $6 billion division of IBM, founding two technology companies, winning a congressional seat in California. Suddenly, the lecturer pauses. Smiling to himself, he continues an end-of-semester tradition inaugurated four decades earlier, when he was Stanford Business School’s 24-year-old faculty wunderkind. Without warning, professor Ed Zschau ’61 begins to sing.

The Ultimate Goal was to Store Medical Information about Patients on Computers so it could be Easily Distributed between Doctor's Offices and Hospitals.

Sadly, HIPPA Regulation Prevents the Easy Distribution of Medical Information.

However... In Recent Years Security and Privacy Problems Have been Solved and Everyone Views Their Own Medical Information Online! Excellent!

Speaking of Santa Clara... 

The Grateful Dead Farewell Concert - Santa Clara 6-27 and 6-28 2015 - Photos and MyStory - A Rainbow Appeared over the Concert... Many Felt It Was Jerry Garcia Visiting from BEYOND...

Music so good it changes the weather. On 6/27 there was a Rainbow over Levi Stadium and then it Rained. Just a very light sprinkle, but we all felt it.

"They" Now Declare That Hiroshima and Nagasaki Were a Bad Idea... What "They" Fail to Realize is That... Truman Bombed Japan To Prove to Stalin that The USA Really Had Atom Bombs and We Were Willing to Use Them...

"They" Also Say The Japanese Internment Camps of World War Two Were Wrong... However...

Those Internment Camps WORKED. No Japanese/Americans Committed Sabotage  While they were Locked UP. The Japanese Were Actively Trying to Defeat the USA in a War That Included such forgotten events as the Fire Balloons... These were Hydrogen Balloons Launched from Japan that Flew all the Way to the USA, Landed and Exploded. The Goal was to Set The Forests of Washington State, Oregon and Idaho on FIRE... Killing Millions... Thankfully, They were Launched IN THE WINTER when the Forests were WET with Snow... and While The Balloons DID Reach the USA and they DID Explode, They FAILED to Kill Millions of Americans... What IF We Had Thousands of Japanese/Americans FREELY Walking Around During World War Two... Who is to Say that One of Them Wouldn't have Set the Forests on Fire IN THE SUMMER?

In Fact, Before Hiroshima and Nagasaki, The Emperor of Japan HAD A BAD ATTITUDE! He Was All in favor of Invading other Countries and Stealing their Wealth... AFTER He Was NUKED, His ATTITUDE CHANGED! All of a Sudden, Japan Became interested in Creating Great Cars, Trucks, Motorcycles, Stereos and Electronic Equipment... Ever hear of Sony, Yamaha, Roland, Honda, Nissan, Mitsubishi?
Without That "Bright Light Going Off in Their Minds." It's Possible That Here in California, We Would Be Speaking Japanese!

Who Exactly are "They"??? Well, I often Hear this Opinion on PBS TV Shows... and the Senator Dianne Feinstein has Spoken out about how Horrible it was to Drop Atom Bombs on Japan... REALLY! As a matter of Fact, We Blew Up Over 100 Atom Bombs in NEVADA! and the Fallout Floated on the wind over UTAH and The Entire USA East of the Nevada Test Site... Brilliant! NUKING OURSELVES...

After the Nuclear Meltdown in Fukushima, Ecology Researchers were concerned that Radioactive Pollution would Float over the Pacific Ocean and Cause Poisonous FISH in the USA. making them so Toxic that we could not Eat them... In Fact, The Oceanographers Did Find Small Amounts of Cesium from Fukushima in the Ocean off the Coast of Washington State, Oregon and California... However they Found Massive Amounts of Cesium Left Over From the Bikini Hydrogen Bomb Tests in The Pacific... Some of those Chemicals Have a Half Life of Thousands of Years... and The Tests Conducted in the 1960s are STILL HOT... and We Have Been Eating Radioactive Fish for Decades...

NO NUKES!

HA HA! 
FOUR BILLION DOLLARS SPENT BUT NO NUKES!

History:
A total of four nuclear reactors (two originally; and two of new designs), have been proposed for the site over a 40-year period, with over $4 billion having been spent (constructing the preliminary plant infrastructure and ordering/delivering/installing major equipment items).[3] But no nuclear reactor nor electric generating plant was ever completed; two cores of nuclear fuel were originally delivered however these were returned on plant deferral. Meaningful construction progress at the site was halted in 1988. Starting after its termination in 2005, Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) implemented an investment recovery effort to recoup some of the costs associated with Bellefonte. As part of the investment recovery effort, all or parts of some major plant components, including steam generators, feedwater heaters, large pumps and motors, demineralized water and condensate storage tanks, main condenser tubes, and some piping and valves were removed and sold. Additionally, some usable components were transferred from Bellefonte to other TVA facilities as spares.[3]

IMMIGRANTS MADE SILICON VALLEY... Sure, All the Famous Names in High Tech are White Men... BUT... Behind the Scenes... People From All Over The World Came Here... AND BUILT A MIRACLE.

Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniac, Bill Gates, Paul Allen, William Hewlett, David Packard, Gordon Moore, Andy Grove, Robert Noyce, Jack Kilby, Thomas Watson, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page, Sergey Brin, William Shockley, Herman Hollerith, Alan Turing, John Von Neuman, Charles Babbage, Fibonacci, Nikola Tesla, Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell...  If You Don't Recognize any of These Names... Just Google Them! and be Thankful that Great White Men Created Electricity, Computers and the Internet!

HOWEVER... At INTEL... Tadashi Sasaki was a Japanese engineer who was influential in founding Busicom, driving the development of the Intel 4004 microprocessor... Engineers Vinod Dham and Rajeev Chandrasekhar were key figures on the core team that invented the 486 chip and later, Intel's signature Pentium chip. 

I worked In Silicon Valley in 1976...  

When I was working at System Industries in Santa Clara, California (1976) the owner of the company (Dr. Edwin Zschau) went to Japan to learn how to run a business.

They were doing very well in comparison to USA companies and there was a lot of interest in learning why. So we adopted many oriental concepts and implemented them in our business. One thing was that we had a company song. We had a birthday meeting every month and we would all sing the company song.

Lyrics:
"System, System Industries, Here we go, Hand in hand. Solving Data Mysteries for the betterment of man."

We had many people from foreign countries working there. Immigrants made our company better. That was a universal fact of life about Silicon Valley... The brightest engineers worldwide came here for work. I had a neighbor from Nicaragua who came to work at IBM. And another Engineer I knew came from Germany at the end of WW2 to work at Lockheed. Very Common.

In my office we had: Dan Aragaki, Steve Wakasuki, Jesus Del Real, Benjamin Aragaki, Ming Leon, Ben Yamada, Aman Kawaja... and ME... and Out on the Assembly Line it was all Oriental or Hispanic Women...

So It Is Very Important to Allow Immigrants to Work and Study in the USA... 


Silicon Chip by gvan42


The only way the United States can remain the world's most prosperous, powerful country is by embracing immigration. That's the inescapable conclusion from a new study published on Tuesday in the Lancet that predicts the world's population will peak far sooner than anticipated, and start shrinking before the end of this century.

There is, however, no guarantee that the US will embrace immigration, even to save itself. Domestic politics, currently inflamed by divisive nativist leaders, have turned immigration into a contested topic. A country that rose to historic heights of influence and prosperity by welcoming immigrants, is now led by a President who has weaponized the issue with unfathomable cruelty.

In reversal, federal government will allow international students to stay in the U.S. while taking only online classes. The repeal follows outspoken criticism from universities, legal experts and higher education advocates, who deemed the rules unfairly punitive for foreign students. 

Federal officials agreed to reverse the policy earlier Tuesday, federal judge Allison Burroughs announced at the hearing for a lawsuit filed by Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology last week. National media outlets previously reported that the White House was considering scaling back the rule after blowback from dozens of universities across the country. https://www.texastribune.org/2020/07/14/international-students-online-classes/


Meetings with Remarkable Men - In Silicon Valley. Dr Edwin Van Wyck Zschau - President of System Industries.

History of Silicon Valley: Almaden - IBM's Successful Utopia. Near San Jose, California IBM built an IDEAL WORLD, Later, Silicon Valley was Built and The Light Rail Connected Almaden to The Rest... All the Way to NASA/Lockheed.

Far out in the farmlands south of town, IBM built a disk drive factory in the early 60's. They wanted to attract the world's finest talent so the built nice houses, shopping centers, a golf course, tennis club and swimming pool. This self contained utopia had everything a family could want... It is still there and functioning beautifully. Come visit sometime... it's wonderful.

Later, the entire city of San Jose became interested in computers. Silicon Valley was born.

American History: WW2 and Japanese Internment Camps. They Were Successful in Preventing Sabotage and Espionage.

People often say that rounding up American Citizens who were of Japanese Descent and putting them all in jail WAS A BAD IDEA.

We certainly cannot know if Japanese People who were US Citizens would have actually committed Sabotage or Helped the Country of Japan Win World War Two but JUST TO BE SAFE the US Government rounded them up and jailed them in Prison Camps in California... 117,000 People...

We won the War and released the Prisoners...

We did NOT imprison people of German Descent... That might have been a good idea...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internment_of_Japanese_Americans

https://www.history.com/topics/world-war-ii/japanese-american-relocation

"Japanese internment camps were established during World War II by President Franklin Roosevelt through his Executive Order 9066. From 1942 to 1945, it was the policy of the U.S. government that people of Japanese descent would be interred in isolated camps. Enacted in reaction to Pearl Harbor and the ensuing war, the Japanese internment camps are now considered one of the most atrocious violations of American civil rights in the 20th century."

That's the Official History... on History Dot Com... BUT, ARE THEY RIGHT?

"Canada soon followed suit, relocating 21,000 of its Japanese residents from its west coast. Mexico enacted its own version, and eventually 2,264 more people of Japanese descent were removed from Peru, Brazil, Chile and Argentina to the United States."

Some People say that the Atomic Bombing of JAPAN was a bad idea... 
Really, I'm not making this up. 

                                                                 ~~~~~ (~);-} ~~~~~

an interesting Science Fiction Book explores the theme of What IF Japan had won the war... 

At significant branches in the story, the main character Throws the I Ching in order to decide what to do... Philip Dick actually Threw the I Ching himself to assist him in plot decisions... Depending on fate, it might have been a completely different book...
