While this would seem to describe the present political scene in America, it would have been a nice touch if CERN, the convention signing on September 29, 1954, had been one focus of "more" attention in both “Holy Blood, Holy Grail,” and “The Da Vinci Code.” In my opinion the writers were too smart to risk making the connection; particularly if an ultimate weapon should come about in the hands of the European Union.

In a few months the CERN Large Hadron Collider may discover Higgs boson, the “God Particle.” But God may be found after all to play dice with the universe. The Standard Model of physicists is useful, but is also known to be considerably less than satisfactory. As to the LHC and its purpose, to quote one scientist: “That's the essence of experimental particle physics: You smash stuff together and see what other stuff comes out.” The splitting of the atom had some particularly nasty side effects in politics and the dreams of tyrants, but if what “comes out” with the LHC search for the god particle just happens to be the ultimate weapon…

Suppose George Soros, Carlos Helu, Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, and a few other likeminded billionaires got together and decided to destroy America. They would finance the ACLU, advocate open borders and fan the fires of racial and religious hatreds, destroy the schools and health services, promote walled cities protecting the wealthy, and they would control our federal government. Well, they may not agree on the particulars, but when it comes to “smashing things together to see what other stuff comes out” they are all on the same page intentionally or not. And when we watch TV “news,” controlled by those with the gold, it would seem our media is on the same page as well.

As a consequence GIGO is very much alive in the MSM. As Jon Robin Baitz says, “If you keep MSNBC on, as the day goes on, you start to feel insane because the same stuff is rehashed in a sisyphusian cacophony from dawn to midnight, with some breaks for shows about prisoners and their tattoos.”

In my opinion Baitz speaks of the MSM as a whole, and while sisyphusian is accurate there is no mistaking the overriding element of GIGO throughout. For example, Ms. Clinton doesn’t lie she “misspeaks,” and Obama didn’t really mean “Typical white people” nor does his church really mean “God Damn America!” only Caucasians. GIGO: As with all politicians and the MSM. And it would not occur to any of these to use the correct terms “Caucasian” and “Negro” all the while the incorrect terms “white” and “black” are the really racist ones. In just this manner illegal aliens become “immigrants.” As with GIGO, Orwellian doublespeak continues to bury the truth as effectively as any Goebbels and the “hyphenated-American” remains an oxymoron, as well as the threat to America Marilyn vos Savant pointed out years ago.

Black Liberation Theology doesn’t preach a “gospel” of all Negroes returning to Africa any more than La Raza preaches a doctrine of all Mexicans returning to Mexico. But both share a mutual hatred of Caucasians, demonizing them at every opportunity in collaboration with the mayors of Los Angeles and New Orleans and Obama’s Jeremiah Wright and his church. But if I were attempting to destroy America I would be demonizing Caucasians and encouraging things like BLT and La Raza.

Scientists are too knowledgeable to claim the Higgs boson if discovered will answer the two greatest mysteries of the universe; life and death. And most would agree without an answer to these there cannot possibly be any “theory of everything.” Knowing this, I also realize life and death may in the end have no meaning at all apart from what these mean to individuals and God may just be playing dice with the universe. It’s a most uncomfortable position to take, but the thought does compare favorably with what politicians and those fomenting racial strife seem to be doing to America. And if politicians are not playing dice with America, perhaps they are attempting to make our nation over into a LHC intent on “smashing things together and see what other stuff comes out.”

“The Andromeda Strain” was an excellent SciFi film. But in 1971 it was quite fashionable to feign offense that such an installation in the desert might be actually intended for the purpose of researching biological warfare rather than constructed for purely scientific purposes. If people were paying attention to what is going on with CERN and the one “accident” already encountered with the LHC it should give us pause to wonder? That this marvel of science is located on the border between Switzerland and France is certainly not a coincidence, nor is it any coincidence that what it may yield is more than scientific knowledge to be used for “peaceful” purposes.

I ask myself, if I could make the Dome of the Rock disappear as though by magic using a “portable black hole” or other means would I “push the button?” You can fill in the blanks for anything you think might be suitable to “disappear,” say, Los Angeles or New York. The European Organization for Nuclear Research should have played a significant role in Holy Blood, Holy Grail and The Da Vinci Code. But as I said, perhaps the writers knew better than to take such a risk. Whether or not, it seems those “leading” America are determined to smash things together to see what comes out while the European leadership seems on quite another course when they smash things together with the LHC.
