The Not Subtle Effect of Infrasound

 I am tired, because Military Ocean Terminal Sunny Point is taking its toll.  Most people don't know about America's largest deep water port.  It is located at the mouth of the Cape Fear River just below Wilmington, North Carolina.  "MOTSU" is the reason why there is no cruise terminal in North Carolina.  If you want to embark a cruise, you must travel to Charleston or further south on the Eastern Seaboard.  If you travel north you have Norfolk, where there is a terminal.  It is located in the midst of our nation's naval military industrial complex.  Why does North Carolina not want a cruise ship terminal in Wilmington?  The Department of Defense (now War Department) does not want it.  They do not relish passenger ships with 5000 cones cruising past America's largest military deep water port.  There are three piers which accommodate three cargo vessels and a vast array of railroad feeder tracks that supply this loading dock.  It has evolved into container shipping.  This is how military supplies are transported to Europe arriving at a military base in Germany.  Munitions and other kinds of equipment are loaded onto these large ships.  The ships sail across the Atlantic providing the proper gear for the United States military.  Because of America's new war with Iran, rail traffic from various military bases to Sunny Point has increased.  This is active revenue for rail companies.  It is easy to recognize.  Fayetteville has enough rail traffic of its own, and often it is overwhelming and destructive to the local civilian community.  There are three major railroads that intersect in downtown Fayetteville.  CSX, the Aberdeen and Rockfish, and RJ Corman.  How can rail traffic be harmful to those not traveling on Amtrack?  "I Could Write a Book."   It would seem those who supported Donald Trump also think it is not possible.  That warm fuzzy sentimental feeling about Thomas the Tank, Lionel, and the Polar Express will not allow them to fathom the dangers of EMF and low frequency alternating current.  Why would electromagnetic waves (radio waves) be emanating from diesel-electric locomotives?  It is an  operative question.  I have a rail study sitting on my desk that explains why.  Locotrol by Wabtec is one reason.  Precision Scheduled Railroading is another.  As railroads downsize their locomotive fleets and eliminate workers, they have begun to use satellite enhanced remote control.  Burlington Northern and Santa Fe  is experimenting with three mile long trains.  These monstrosities require consists in three different places in a train.  They are running three C40-9W's as the front consist, in the middle, and at the end.  That is nine locomotives for one train.  Locotrol is what that allows them to do this.  This system provides wireless control of 4400 horse power freight locomotives, so there are no operators in these additional consists.  In a nutshell every diesel/electric locomotive produces low frequency sound waves or infrasound because of the firing rate of the engine.  Common speeds of these locomotives is 650 rpm's at idle and 1050 for full power.  Each formula of cycles per second produces a corresponding low frequency sound wave which cannot be heard.  Every running locomotive produces its on wave that never stops propagating, even at idle.  In simple mathematical terms as in physics, if you group three locomotives together, their engine revolutions are not synced.  Each one is producing its own soundwave at a slightly different phase than the others.  If you place three more of these a mile away in the middle of a train, and three more at the end of the train, then you have an ambulatory circus of infrasonic pollution.  Google infrasound, and the results for this search will explain how destructive it is to the human body.  The Nazi's studied and used infrasound for various reasons in World War ll.  Never have I liked these waves, because after I discovered them in 1990, their effects never have ceased to make my life more difficult.  This is because of music.  Since Donald Trump has been President, and since Hunter Harrison sealed the deal with Precision Scheduled Railroading in America, the harmful effects of the rail industry have worsened.  When Sunny Point is loading equipment, infrasonic pollution is at its absolute worst on the East Coast.  In Fayetteville, the location of Fort Bragg, the sound waves are so strong they literally can push you over or hinder your gait.  That is now.  Logically I am not able to play music, because these immense, powerful, sound waves negate my efforts.  They have a negative effect of music.  As the music modulates these invisible and inaudible demons, it makes the music unpleasant.  Although I was an avid model railroader and appreciate and understand the importance of the "Iron Horse" in America's development, I despise the rail industry.  Their only goal today is producing revenue for shareholders.  The real world ramifications of a nine locomotive freight train ambulating the American landscape are dire and destructive for the surrounding population.  I have experienced the worsening of this sonic impact over the last decade.  In extreme cases people can die.  Donald Trump said he was getting ready to wipe out an entire civilization.  His administration sets no example for compassionate behavior toward their electing constituents.  It is the opposite.  They do not care if the common American taxpayer is being hammered by infrasound.  The effects of this plague are the same as they always have been, and it is well documented.  If you have questions about your own personal health, consider the effects of infrasonic pollution from America's rail industry, including the Strategic Rail Corridor Network.  (STRACNET)  We may be killing Iranians with bombs, but we are harming Americans in a much more subtle way. 

The Talons of Evil

First and foremost because I don't have an overt need to blog, shaving your head is liberating.  I didn't realize how much time hair takes.  With its absence comes freedom from worry, about hair anyway.  It changes the orientation of your body for the better.  The military figured this out decades ago.  Hair can be vanity, so thoroughly I have enjoyed my lack of hair.  It is more healthy, because as a living thing hair can harbor pathogens.  Still I don't feel an overt need or desire to blog, but I haven't made myself reflect on current issues in several weeks.  It is time.  I have been more bold in my offerings on FB.  My community of friends are conservative, thus the paradigm of "married with children" is prevalent.  There is not much "single" action or opinion.  Is it unusual to be single at the age of 63?  I think not, but there is no question gleaned from my new experiences being a homeowner, "married with children" is the norm for our neighborhood anyway.  From this example comes certain discriminations, and I candidly refer to the "trophy wife."  I have found that friendships within the marriage unit often radiate towards same sex, meaning wives have girl friends, and men have men friends.  Am I wrong?  Most of my life I have enjoyed and had more female friends, only because my choice of male friends was limited.  Interestingly when military couples deploy, the suddenly single wives now are open to fraternization.  When their husbands are deployed they are free to seek friendship outside of the marriage, because largely they are alone.  This interaction often is asexual, androgynous, and harmless.  It is communal support that is needed in the human race.  The maturity of the couple predicates the success or failure of this support.  I have been more bold in my offerings on FB now including hints of romantic or sexual interaction.  "Oh my God!"  Back in the day in the 1980's when I was an adolescent heterosexuality was prominent on television and in film.  It sold!  Sex sells, so they say.  For me it was nothing more than the prospect or possibility of romance.  I must be old fashioned, and at age 63 I must be a dinosaur to have romantic notions in my head at all.  I have not had sex in ten years, so that may explain it.  This is new terrain for me, getting old.  I am learning.  In other nations, as I learned traveling and working on cruise ship, sex readily is available.  Americans condemn this practice, because they equate exploitation of their children and trafficking with prostitution.  Look at the Epstein situation.  That is not prostitution.  It is something much more sordid and depraved, and as such it threatens to bring down the world order.  Enlightened nations just get on with it business as usual.  If you need sexual release or companionship you purchase it.  It only exists for on the short term, say an hour or more commonly a half hour, but it is legal, regulated, sanitary and helpful.  That the United States has such an immature and stunted opinion of the world's oldest profession is frustration, just as people supported Donald Trump.  You can't argue with a wall, and these people are just ?   We must move around them, because it is opinions like theirs that end the world.  We are in such a place politically.  I have washed my hands of it, because it is so depressing.  There are no words to describe the American political scenario.  It is beneath most people, and those who supported Donald Trump have realized the error of their ways.  Skin color and gender determine nothing.  Nada.  Zilch.  The choice of a black woman or a white man for the American President?  The inclinations of a white man are in full bloom and threaten to demolish the world order.  Perhaps having "Coffy" or Oprah as President would have been better.  Oprah built an empire as a black woman.  It is and was more successful than the Trump empire.  With this campaign of war in Iran, with it comes all of the unpleasant tendencies of white corporate America.  They are worse, more exaggerated, more egregious, and more dangerous to Americans.  It has reached a level of genocide, and that genocide peaked with the "outbreak" of Covid 19.  The Big Beautiful Lie of the Century is that Covid jumped from animals to humans, and that it occurred naturally.  The biggest lie of Rock 'n' Roll is the check is in the mail.  The biggest lie of our lifetimes is that Covid was NOT an engineered pathogen and that Anthony Fauci is NOT the devil.  He made HIV and he made Covid 19 and murdered hundreds of thousands of people.  The more quickly we understand the propensity to perpetrate such crimes the more quickly we can evolve and clean up the scraps of America.  Fauci is America's Hitler, and he was patroned by Dick Cheney.  RIP, Mr. Vice President.  How is the card game in hell?   

The FX of War

My fellow musician friend and I were hard at work creating music in his "Mancave" studio.  It had been a pool room and a small apartment with a kitchen and a bathroom.  They had an older man tenant for a while.  When Ed's wife died of cancer, we both needed an outlet for our emotion, opinion, and musical inclination.  Ed is a drummer, a guitarist, and a vocalist, but made his living repairing automobiles at his shop, "Import Auto Repair."  The city of Fayetteville enforced imminent domain, bought his shop, and built the transportation hub in downtown Fayetteville.  We made a good team, a musical duo with a plethora of ability.  Ed wrote songs in the "Old Timey" tradition, and I had a backlog of original music I had written over the years of studying jazz and contemporary classical music.  We had the most meager recording set up, a room, a computer, a stereo in/out audio interface, a PA system, and a handful of mikes.  I convinced him to mount an X/Y pair near the ceiling at the back of the rectangular room, and we recorded most things live.  He would play his vintage Premiere drum set, which sounded like Mitch Mitchells kit.  I played Fender Precision bass through an Ampeg B3 biamped bass amp and overdubbed keyboards from my live play rig which I had set up across and facing his drums.  I routed my small Peavey keyboard mixer into his PA head and into a pair of Ross Typhoon 18" three way speakers.  These older speakers were incredibly accurate, and it was through them we mixed.  Our process was a labor of love and enjoyment, and with Ed's life long experience in music and my professional experience in academia and on ships, we were the epitome of a "stream of consciousness" style of work flow.  I decided early on that I would not project my past gig formula or work load onto our creativity.  Thus we did not play "jazz standards."  We let the Spirit guide us, and it did.  We have produced a substantial musical output consisting of a handful of complete CD's of increasingly variable styles.  We experimented with Avant Garde jazz, swing, country, blues, and Latin.  He was able to express his bereavement for his wife Ingrid, and I was able to channel the challenges of caring for aging parents.  It was a rewarding collaboration in a short period of time.  I remember when Donald Trump was elected President in 2016.  I said, "Why not let him try his hand and see how our own quality of life would change."  I was trying to be optimistic, the same view I offered Pete Hegseth.  In hindsight 2016 began a spiral downward of average quality of life.  Everything became more difficult, like we were fighting some giant invisible antagonist.  Most of all the acoustics of the Mancave deteriorated.  Ed decided to renovate the moldy smelling damp space, so he pulled up the carpet and took down the acoustical or false ceiling.  Both things affected the sound, but it was not that that made the biggest difference in our attempted recordings.  It was the first time I recall recording a tune, and having the overall volume of our playing change drastically in the middle of the song.  Since then and culminating now in 2026, a decade later, the same phenomena exists on a daily basis.  It occurs in my home, and the volume of musical performance or playback changes radically over just seconds in real time.  Therefore my attempts to record videos of my own in different rooms with different set ups are plagued with the same demon.  I often play left hand bass as a keyboardist, and setting its level is the most important thing in a mix, especially in jazz.  Suddenly my bass sounds were not consistent, and their volumes were changing continuously in real time second to second.  The tinnitus in my left ear would ebb and flow, and the efficiency of the amplification would struggle.  Only in the last few months did GOOGLE tell me what the effects of "over voltage" were.  It explained the phenomenon exactly.  Because I have a vintage Hammond console organ with tubes, it is susceptible to such influence.  Others in the Hammond world have experienced similar effects.  What it boiled down to was that not only was there a standing wave in our space, there was a myriad of RF content coming from many disparate sources like the military at Fort Bragg.  This includes radar, widespread surveillance, and downright aerial antagonism.  It should be no surprise that aviation is viable tool for such activity, and a fleet of Russian backed shell company planes were found.  They are not the only culprit.  Like many modern American corporate processes including rail, it must have become clear that the artifacts or by products of these activities also could be  weaponized.  The Republican Party used this ploy touting the weaponization of various government agencies, including voting.  The reality is, now with very little governmental oversight or regulation, the ordinary landscape for working Americans has become a mine field.  Literally we are being attacked at all levels. With the Covid outbreak and the recent President's tirades against everyone including the Pope, the Catholic Church, and the evil Democrats, etc. it commonly should be understood Americans are not immune from persecution.  Upon study America has experienced five years of blunt and acute attack while Trump has been President.  Every aspect of our lives is beset with challenges rather than being supported.  For those who have committed no crimes, unlike Donald Trump, Americans do not deserve nor merit persecution from their own democratic leadership.  We have in fact witnessed and experienced an internal coup of leadership that has attempted to transform American democracy into Fascism.  Still to this day the leader of this evil is the American President.  It is not new.  Many other countries have succumbed to the same transformation, where the elected ruling body turns against the people.  It is fairly new to the United States, and I am not a historian enough to know if another American President behaved similarly.  The ploy is to feign honesty and integrity and skull fuck the population on the down low.  While we experienced remnants of this under George W. Bush Jr., (and it seemed extreme and painful at the time), it pales in comparison to the world corruption of Donald Trump.  He is a war criminal and a convicted felon and should be removed from office along with his Vice President and the Speaker of the House.  Unfortunately the Jeffry Epstein scheme blackmailing the most powerful and influential world leaders, including members of Congress, has proven effective  eliminating dissent in Washington.  They have become spineless cowards stemming from an immature lust for teenage booty.  No enlightened society would allow pussy to bring down world leaders.  You have to pay for it any way and where you look.  Power does not and should not predicate sex for free.  The idea that screwing under age girls on Epstein's private island could and would topple the world order including the most powerful and exemplary democracy, is ludicrous.  I would assume "Original Sin" is as powerful as God has said.  It only is truncated minds akin to Appalachian inbred hillbillies that would allow physical lust to undermine civilization.  It is a natural God-given urge and nothing of which to be ashamed.  Unfortunately "Fire and Brimstone" extreme Biblical prophesying by ignorant, manipulative, evil men has become the strongest political tool of all.  It's time to move on.
