FLASHBACK, 1981

Flashback to 1981 and a movie starring Lee Majors called The Last Chase taking place in the future year of 2011. This was a movie nobody believed that any aspect of the story plot would come true. Thus, the movie was not successful, so much so that the premier cable network at the time called HBO, ran the movie multiple times per day to fill in the time slots with the lowest numbers of viewers. HBO did run the movie in the premier movie night timeslot at first, then dropped the movie into the “filler” timeslots for the whole summer of 1982.
 
Before I venture more directly into this movie’s theme, let us first realize that the time slots that had low viewership back then was because most people went outside to socialize, do activities, invent, accomplish, and live. Today, dreaming and living, has been slowly dying on the living room sofa or in a worn out Sacco chair on the floor, aka bean bag chair. (Which by the way, was designed by three Italian friends in 1968 sharing ideas face to face and backed by the Italian design company Zanotta.)
 
Now let us look at this movie that nobody cared for or believed stood any chance of coming true. Below is the movie plot, does anything sound…???
 
Twenty years after the American people have been told that oil has run out and disease has scared them into complacency, the United States has become a fascist state. Amidst the resulting chaos and general panic, democracy collapsed, and a totalitarian cabal seized power. The new dictatorship outlawed private ownership and use of all automobiles, boats and aircraft, on the pretext that an even bigger crisis, the depletion of fossil fuel supplies, was imminent. The loss of other personal freedoms followed, and a mass surveillance system now monitors private citizens' every move.
 
A former race car driver named Franklyn Hart, (Lee Majors) now a puppet spokesman for public transportation, rebuilds his race car and sets off to California from Boston where people have returned to living life like they were twenty years prior.


Who would think that not just one, but all items in this movie have or are coming true. Not so much in the way the movie depicted, but nevertheless, in the way we are all too familiar with today. Well, except for the part about California leading the way back to freedom. The fact remains that California started down the wrong road when former Governors accepted "support" from a fuel company, shut down the state's last two nuclear plants and helped stop clean, safe, 4th generation Nuclear power plants as a transition to perhaps Hydrogen Fuel Cells running off of water to make clean energy on demand, such as the Fuel Cells on the Space Shuttles.

Our leaders then and now are NOT educating us and providing us with long term solutions. They are placing upon us the systems that make themselves the fastest and largest amount of money while securing their positions. End result, no long term solutions, more harm to the environment and a depletion of individual dignity. We the people are the solutions and we have to self educate ourselves with all the facts. We can start by not believing the lies being told through the process of omission.

Climate and The Shroud of Turin

The Podcast called "The Morning Brew" with Joe Malerba interviewed me this past Palm Sunday. The topic was about the Shroud of Turin and I touched upon the scientific data we have that presents what the climate was like in Jerusalem 2,000 years ago. I have researched the connections between the environment and the elements that involve Jesus' burial cloth for several years.

First let us evaluate information about the Sudarium, translation means a sweat cloth, one was used to cover Jesus' face before He was removed from the cross and buried. This meets Jewish tradition that the life blood of a person must be saved and buried with that person. This face cloth held that blood and bodily fluids. Men having a Sudarium cloth, about two feet squared, always tied around their neck, was common. This cloth facilitated the wiping of sweat from one's face in the hot climate. The Sudarium, now kept in Spain, has 120 points of contact and patterns that match the Shroud with computer accuracy. The Sudarium dates back to Jerusalem for the year 616 AD by written documents. Additional information brings the Sudarium back to 400 AD Jerusalem. There is no image on the Sudarium because the cloth would have been removed when Jesus was placed on his Sindone, aka Shroud or burial cloth. Perhaps John used his own Sudarium that was around his neck to cover Jesus’ face. He was the youngest and the only apostle at the foot of the cross. Both clothes were found in the tomb on Easter morning as written in John's Gospel.

Now, what climate facts support men wearing a Sudarium around the neck in Jerusalem 2,000 years ago:
Just one of several studies done is from the frozen lake bed at the top of Mount Kenya. Quoting the original ScienceDaily article, “A sudden warming of climate lasting several centuries took place in equatorial Africa some 2,000 years ago, according to a new study reported by a Weizmann Institute of Science-led team in the August 14 issue of Science.”

Research scientists performed isotopic analysis of the sediments from Hausberg Tarn, a small lake at an altitude of 4,350 meters on a slope of Mt. Kenya. The top of Mt. Kenya is at 4,600-4,700 meters and is covered by permanent glaciers. Scientists found that a rapid and significant warming of lake water, around 4 degrees Celsius, took place between the years 350 BC and 450 AD, reflecting a warming of climate that probably allowed the Roman Empire to conquer as far north as Scotland.

To have all the facts is always critical and code red to know the complete picture. From the Weizmann Institute report and others, we know for the time period stated above, temperatures were about 4 degrees celsius above our pre-industrial era temperatures. Currently, we are 1.5 degrees celsius above. So 2,000 years ago a rough estimate would put midday temperatures in Jerusalem during the month of April around 93 degrees Fahrenheit. Additionally, there is environmental data from the Dead Sea's soil excavation that backs up the actual date of the first Good Friday, the earthquakes, and how the day grew dark at noon. There was no solar eclipse that afternoon, but there was a dust storm kicked up by the earthquakes. Upon moon rise that evening, NASA data shows there was a blood red moon rising on Jerusalem due to a lunar eclipse. These events are cited and recorded and only one date meets all the prerequisites: April 3, 33 AD

One more point... There are dozens of facts showing the Shroud is 2,000 years old and the 1988 Carbon 14 tests done on the Shroud of Turin, outside of all proper scientific protocol, have been retracted and are no longer valid. Jesus did one last miracle 2,000 years ago for us today with our technology. He gave us a full front and back photograph of Himself to show that he understands life on earth, the joy and the suffering — the worst kind of suffering. He is with us, He is on our team — humankind, and because of Him, there is existence beyond this earth.

Happy Easter and Peace Be with Us All,

    Bill Lauto, 2016
    Bill Lauto came on the scene in 1981 to present facts and teach details about how we can save our environment without making  sacrifices. He demonstrated how correctly implementing the technology we already obtained in 1981, allowed us to save Money, Energy and Earth. His voice was one among the few who taught green facts long before anyone else talked about sustainability. 
       Bill Lauto's Credentials
    By 1994 the Internet was being explored as a tool to provide energy saving information to all of America by Mr. Lauto. Having the foresight, he first launched the Light Bulb HotLine web site off of the company's Domain in 1996. Then in April of 2001, EnergyHotwire became a resource. Today,
    GoingTrueGreen.com presents decades of info to dispel mis-information and provide the facts about truly Going True Green.
