Sense and Nonsense

It looks like the more a person knows about time, the less likely they are to be able to answer the question. Never ask an expert anything. Keep it simple and just know in your heart that the time is NOW forever.

But just in case you really want to know, here is what the experts have to say:

• Atomic Time , with the unit of duration the Systeme International (SI) second defined as the duration of 9,192,631,770 cycles of radiation corresponding to the transition between two hyperfine levels of the ground state of cesium 133. TAI is the International Atomic Time scale, a statistical timescale based on a large number of atomic clocks.
• Universal Time (UT) is counted from 0 hours at midnight, with unit of duration the mean solar day, defined to be as uniform as possible despite variations in the rotation of the Earth.

This essay was written by Louis Beam in 1983 and published at that time. It was republished in 1992 (http://www.louisbeam.com/leaderless.htm).

Louis Beam, who was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for heroism in Vietnam,  was tried for sedition (acquitted in 1988) for his outspoken criticism of his own government's abuse of power. During the Clinton years he was again in the news pointing out the abuses of power by Attorney General Janet Reno at Waco and Ruby Ridge. He doesn't lead a placid life.

I would add that maybe the Tea Party movement  doesn't need a leader.  So far, it looks a lot like normal Americans doing what they think is right without any big shot telling them just what to think and do.

LEADERLESS RESISTANCE
By Louis Beam

The concept of Leaderless Resistance was proposed by Col. Ulius Louis Amoss, who was the founder of International Service of Information Incorporated, located in Baltimore, Maryland. Col. Amoss died more than fifteen years ago, but during his life was a tireless opponent of communism, as well as a skilled Intelligence Officer. Col. Amoss first wrote of Leaderless Resistance on April 17, 1962. His theories of organization were primarily directed against the threat of eventual Communist take-over in the United States.

The present writer, with the benefit of having lived many years beyond Col. Amoss, has taken his theories and expounded upon them. Col. Amoss feared the Communists. This author fears the federal government. Communism now represents a threat to no one in the United States, while federal tyranny represents a threat to everyone . The writer has joyfully lived long enough to see the dying breaths of communism, but may, unhappily, remain long enough to see the last grasps of freedom in America.
