September 9,
2020 New York State New York Governor Cuomo has stated that he
may have to raise taxes in New York City and state. Presently, New
York State and City has the highest average tax rate in the United
States with an estimated 12.9% income tax. Some say that Gov Cuomo
was hoping that the state would be bailed out by the U.S. President
Trump administration, but that seems very unlikely. Further, some are
hoping that if democratic presidential rival Joe Bidden was to win,
that his administration might bail out the state. Presently for
fiscal year 2020-2021, it is estimated that the budget shortfall is 8
billion dollars. If taxes are increased, there is concern that the
most productive and wealthiest New Yorkers may leave New York State
to lesser taxed states. Further, with an estimated 40% of office
workers, working remotely, the need to stay in New York State has
greatly diminished. There is concern that with higher income taxes,
possible congestion pricing, ever more regulations, that New York
State and in particular, New York City, may be on the road to
"Detroitification" of the city.
September
9, 2020 New York City New
York Governor Cuomo has directed the MTA to fine anyone not wearing
a mask on public transportation subways and busses to receive a $50
fine. In April, Gov Cuomo had issued an order for all to wear a mask
on public transportation. Presently the public transportation
compliance rate is about 90 percent. The CDC has stated that there is
not any proof that masks are effective.
September 8,
2020 New York City New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has ordered
that starting September 30, restaurants may have have indoor seating
up to 25% capacity. Starting November 1, restaurants may seat up to
50% capacity. New York City is the last major city to allow indoor dining.
September 7, 2020
New York City Crime of all types has shot up when compared to
previous years at the same time. It is estimated that crime is up
60%, with some types of crime up over 100%.
September 6, 2020
New York City Protests and property destruction continued around the
city, with a number of arrests. There is fear that if this keeps up,
New York City will decline inviability and livability.
September 4, 2020
New York City Congestion pricing, the system of charging cars and
trucks that enter Manhattan, south of 60th street, that was supposed
to have gone into effect on January 1, 2021. It was believed that the
cost would be $14 for cars and $25 or more for trucks. Needless to
say this would significantly effect commerce and retail sales and may
actually help surrounding counties gain more sales. It is now
believed that congestion pricing if introduced, will not be till well
after 2022. The Federal Highway Administration, which funds some of
the key roads, has not agreed to this system and if and when they
ever to agree to this, it would take over a year to incorporate the
billing and tracking technology. Congestion pricing is extremely
unpopular with businesses, real estate companies, delivery companies,
drivers, commuters and many more individuals.
September
2,
2020 Today
is the 75th anniversary of the official end of World War 2 for the
United States, with the signing of the surrender documents in Tokyo
bay. A cease fire was declared on August 16, 1945. My father arrived
in Tokyo from San Francisco on September 5th, 1945. Today people
hardly remember all of this and the dates will likely be fortotten in
a few years. Who remmebers the date of the end of the Civil War, or
for that matter, the date of the end of the Revolutionary War?
History books are indeed a catalog of the follies of mankind.

NJ gasoline more expensive than in New York City, for the fist time ever. |

According to the
CDC, masks are hardly effective. Wearing a mask to prevent the spread
of a virus is like using a chain-link fence in the window to prevent
mosquitoes from entering.
|
|
|
Do masks
actually work? The
filter size of the mask is vastly larger than the average virus size
and so its effectiveness is minimal at best. Some say the mask
catches moisture when one speaks, but this has more or less been
disproven. Since June, 2020, the CDC has recommended that states
cease requiring masks, however several state governors refuse to
accept the science and continue to insist on masks. |

August 30, 2020
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released new data
showing that the number of deaths caused by Covid-19/Corona Virus
alone was greatly exaggerated. It has now been determined that
greater than 94% of the deaths previously attributed to Covid-19 were
actually accompanied by one or more critical illnesses, such as
cancer and that at most, 6% of the deaths were by Covid with no other
critical ailment known. Thus it is now believed that less then 10,000
people have died countrywide from Covid-19 without any other known
critical illness. This means that approximately one person in 35,000
has died with Covid-19 alone. For comparison, one person in 8,000 die
yearly in automobile related deaths.
August 26, 2020
NYC Mayor Bill DeBlasio declared that indoor restaurant dinning may
be permitted in 2021. This has the restaurant and bar industry up in
arms since winter is coming and outdoor dinning will not be possible.
The entire restaurant and entertainment industry is in a very
difficult position as a result of the Corona/Covid19 virus hysteria.
August 26, 2020
is the 100 anniversary of the introduction of the then controversial
19th Amendment to the United States Constitution. At the time, many
people felt that the Amendment, giving women the right to vote, among
other things, would be detrimental to the family structure since
prior to the amendment, vote was considered a family vote, rather
than an individual vote. People thought at the time that this would
lead to a reduction in the importance of the family and an increase
in the number of divorces, which was rare at the time.
August 25, 2020
Governor Andrew Cuomo has complained to NYC Mayor DeBlasio to crack
down on indoor weddings and large social gatherings, under the
assumption that the seemingly rare Corona/Covid19 virus can be spread
by such social gatherings.

Today, August 6,
2020 (August 7 Japan time), is the 75th anniversary of the atomic
bombing of Hiroshima. A convoy of 6 B29 planes attacked the city and
dropped various instruments and the bomb itself. |
|
|
Today,
Horoshima is a dynamic, modern city of approximately 2 million people
and is the headquarters of a number of known Japanese companies
including Mazda.
For
more information on Japan, please go toour News1 Japan site at www.Tokyo1.org |
In 1945,
it is estimated that Hiroshima had about 350,000 inhabitants. The
actual number of deaths as a result of the Atomic bombing and the
intense multi-day fire storm has never been determined though
initially, it was thought that between 8,000 and 35,000 died, however
today the number is believed to be about 125,000, including
subsequent cancer related deaths. |
The
photographs shown on this site of Hiroshima were shot by Frank X.
Didik in June, 2002.
Many questions
remain regarding the events of August 6, 1945. Every year the Mayor
of Hiroshima sends a letter to the sitting U.S. president and asks
the details of what was actually dropped. As terrible as it was, one
has to ask, if Imperial Japan had the bomb, would they have used it? |
The Hiroshima Trade center, built in the
1920's, was the focal point of the bomb which exploded 500 meter
above. Most stone structures were left standing however the resulting
firestorm destroyed the portion of the city that was within the fire
blocks, similar to the Dresden, Hamburg, Hanover, and Tokyo firestorms. |

Houston Street, New York, NY. A powerful storm went through the
city, causing up to 150,000 people to lose electricity in NYC and an
additional 130,000 to lose power in nearby New Jersey. |

Aug 3,
2020, Soho NYC The Corona virus/Covid 19 fears has prompted New
York City to allow outdoor seating for restaurants and bars. This is
reminiscent of how New York City was in the 1950's and early 1960's
with outdoor cafe's, particularly in the Upper East Side. However, as
nice as they are, they are completely useless in the winter and in
rain storms as shown above in Soho. |
Bars and restaurants with roof gardens are
doing better than their non roof garden counterparts. Still such
issues as the cold, or rain remain. This roof garden in in Greenpoint Brooklyn. |
Many
stores are still closed throughout New York City and there is fear
that they will never reopen. Further, many stores have not paid rent
since March 22, when "non-essential" businesses were
ordered closed by governor Coumo decree. There is also fear that
since landlords may be in jeopardy since real estate taxes have not
been suspended and the landlords are not able to collect rent. |
July
20, 2020, Astoria, Queens, NYC. Many "inspirational"
signs have emerged through out the city as a result of the virus scare. |
August 8, 2020
President Donald J. Trump signs an executive order extending Corona
virus relief in the amount of $400 per week for the unemployed, of
which $300 is to be paid by the Federal Government and $100 by the
local states. Democratic controlled states object to
this since those
states, which tend to have very high debt, were hoping to get Federal
payments to reduce their outstanding debt. Other elements of the
executive orders include delayed payroll taxes, though President
Trump has stated that he plans to forgive these taxes.
August 2, 2020.
President Donald J. Trump said that increased Corona virus /Covid 19
cases is not the result of the spreading of the disease, but rather
because of greater testing.

New York, NY Violent "protesters" vandalized police vans on
Ludlow Street and Rivington Street. The mob then marched on to

there, he did not notice anything that would seem to be a violation. |
July

center of social activity. These days however, it would seem that
Astoria has gained that reputation, with many out door restaurants
with room to social distance. |

July 8, 2020 ---
The sidewalk in front of NYC City Hall Park, right next to City Hall
and other government buildings, has become a camping ground for "protesters". |
|
|
The "protesters" have reduced the
quality of life for the vast majority of citizens. NYC City Hall can
be seen through the trees, a few feet behind. |
The entire sidewalk is covered with vulgar,
anti society slogans, by multiple groups. They seem to only have a
vague idea of what they actually want. |
The socialist, anti-police group was permitted
to paint their logo on the main street in front of the federal
building, the state and federal court and the municipal building. |
Even hourly rental motorcycles run the risk of
being towed if parked in the wrong spot by the renter. A very
expensive lessen indeed. |
|
|
|
Many stores are still boarded up out of fear of
further looting or vandalism. |
|
|
"Welcome to Brooklyn, where New York
Begins". Many years ago, the sign said "Brooklyn, the
fourth largest city in America". |
Houston Street and Mercer Street. Car somehow
failed to make the turn, in the middle of the night. No one was
injured. Just a mistake. |

Occupy City Hall on July 4, 2020. It is hard
to imagine that so many protestors or vagrants would be allowed to
camp in front of City Hall, NYC. |
As often the case with these rebels without a
cause, the signs are vulgar, anti society and anti police. |
Who voted for these people to represent the
people of this city? If they succeeded, would we ever have justice or
would we simply have complete chaos and anarchy? |
As usual, the NYPD were completely
professional and allowed the campers to continue their alleged
"protest", though it is doubtful if any of them agree to
what they are protesting. |
Bank building in Greenpoint Brooklyn. Empty
businesses and store fronts seem to continue to expand. A combination
of the fear of the Corona Virus and social unrest, coupled with a
general decline in jobs, caused by a variety of factors is destroying
the economy and wealth of this country. |

that the city would be better without police. As most people realize,
police are essential in any society to keep order, maintain laws and
freedoms and to assist people in dire need. |

different perceived social issues being protested for or against. |

Defund?
Some anti-police groups have called for the defunding of the police
around the country. Question: late at night, if you are traveling in
an empty subway car and two police officers come on, do you feel
threatened or are you relieved and hope that they stay on for the
duration of your trip? The answer is obvious. The police are
essential to maintaining order in any society.

many "leading experts" came from nowhere and gave the
public their speculation with truly disastrous results, causing
massive inflation and economic failure in countries who followed
their "advice".

Reason,
Logic and intellect is not reliable.
The late Christopher Hitchens often stated that we should rely on our
logic, reason and intellect to determine the truth. Many people who
pride themselves as educated, intelligent and progressive believe the
same. As reasonable as this seems, Galileo proved over 400 years ago
that our logic, reason and intellect is unreliable and that only
direct experimental data, should be relied upon. Galileo had dropped
two balls of the same material, but different masses, from the
Leaning Tower of Pisa to demonstrate that they would hit the ground
at the same time, rather than the heavier ball hitting the ground
first, as almost everyone, including Aristotle, 2000 years ago, had
assumed. Our logic, reason and intellect is not reliable and should
only be viewed as speculation. Only direct experimentation and
obtaining the same results, over and over again should be relied upon.
What about? ..
Old
Computer Formats and the longevity of our digitally stored
knowledge. Are
we entering into a "pre-history" era? How can we preserve
our computer written records, books, photographs, video and

to preserving our global digital records so that future generations
can access the information and knowledge that we store on computer
readable formats.

Questioning
the results of modern science. For
the last 100 years, we have been experiencing the collapse of real
science. Theories, speculation and fantasy is the norm today. By
definition, the scientific method is the ability to test and re-test
and always get the same results, over and over. If an idea or a
theory can not be tested, the idea must be viewed as speculation and
not considered true, till that idea is proven without a doubt.
Scientific theory has moved to areas that are beyond our present
capability of testing and gradually a number of unproven theories
have become accepted as fact without any real proof. Further, new
theories have been developed based on old theories. Thus we have a
situation where science today is largely based on theory upon theory.
If something can not be proven, it falls into the realm of philosophy
rather than science. This has led to...read
