Mount Mahameru

We have witnessed a time of madness
In which everyone is confused in his mind
One cannot bear to join in the madness
But if he does not do so, he will not share in the spoils
And will starve as result

Indeed, it is the will of God
That those who are careful and vigilant
Are much happier than those who are careless.
[Kalatida - Javanese The Age Of Darkness verse]

About The Pics:
The Words Mahameru come from ancient Hindi Sanskrit words Maha = Almighty and Meru = Tops Of The Top; it was the Javanese Nietzsche Vesuvius.
Mount Mahameru or Semeru (+3,680m) on Java is the highest mountain that have long beautiful Legend stories and also mystery which already adopted by Javanese from the stories of Mahabrata. I'm not really remember the stories because mouth telling version from my grandpa or my father were complicated and confusing too, they have mixed culture, mystic and philosophy and adopted to their own Jogjakarta version.
I Will started fro Histories to made it not complicated to understand.The Javanese culture separate in two mainstream ones belongs the Kingdom of Majapahit (Hinduism) and the Kingdoms of Mataram (Buddhism + Hinduism + Islam); and it have their own long stories that told in "Babad Tanah Java = The History Of Java Land" it just comparable to your stories "The Fall Of Rome", my grandpa have not told about Mahabrata if he told Babad Tanah Jawa and probably he just want to bring culture beliefs like Hitler bring Mein Kampf but sometimes it become Mein Krampft. Of course he is not fascist but he just proud to be the Indonesian Javanese like Bavarian proud to be German Bavarian with their Leder Hose, again "Liebe Gruesse Aus Den Leder Hose" my friends ;-).

THE STORY OF MAHAMERU
In my birthplaces Jogjakarta there is also a groups temple called Lorojonggrang which exactly replicated of Mount Semeru.On the middle of complex is main temple symbolizing as Siva (the Destructor) and left and right temple symbolizing Brahma and Vishnu. Lorojongrang complex relic is symbiosis of Hinduism and Buddhism that could be easy seens on Shiva stand on a Lotus flowers, it showing that the mutual understanding/spirits of tolerance have been adopted long times ago on Java as well as it happened in India continent.

Bali on Java influence
The Balinese cremated the dead in fire, and the body-bone ashes crushed into powder and thrown into the sea where it dissolves in water.They have believes when the water evaporates it turns into wind in form of vapor and ascends as the soul. The family left can made contact with the the dead souls, by erecting an altar in temple complex in form of pagodas.They called it then Meru as their mediators, which derived from the words Mahameru
The Balinese have believes that Mount Agung father is Mount Mahameru then they come to Mahameru if something happened on Bali, since they believes it could be happened because the Mount Agung Father was angry.
Of course it was true, cause both of Vulcan stay on the same active lines which spread starting from central Asia to small Sundanese island on Indonesia.

BATTLE ON THE SKY
In Baratayudha that was never ending battle on the sky between the good and the bad epic; thus we believes it's the nature harmony of cyclical history of human being. As well as Battle On The Sky the wayang puppet exhibit always begun and end by appearing of Gunungan Mountain symbol (the figure on my pics).
In gunungan there are many character symbol, and most important for me is Banteng or Buffalo which have Character symbol of honesty, and unbeatable struggle spirits to realized a sacred missions The Battle On The Sky could not comparable to nonsense battle against the Wind Mill of Don Quixote De La Mancha or Battle for money of Sancho's.

Strumming dub plates with our fingers,
Eliminate sounds with our song,
Killing a sound boy with this sound,
Killing a sound boy with this sound,

Taking sound boys' lives with this dub, killing him softly with this sound.
Strumming my pain with his fingers, singing my life with his words,
Killing me softly with his song, killing me softly with his song,
Telling my whole life with his words, killing me softly with his song.
I heard he sang a good song, I heard he had a style.

And so I came to see him and listen for a while....usw

That was my mother favorites artis Shirley Bassey with her songs, so happy "Killing Me Softly"
Also your not killing me but you have kill the marginal folks, all kids starting to learn how to stay on their feet before they could walk, but you rather bring them to run and it was really efffective shock therapy since they were shocked and got heart attack at once.So reducing poverty by killing them is very effective because it could used to reducting overpopulation problem :-)

SUNSHINES SUPERMAN

You smell that?
Do you smell that?
Napalm, son.

Nothing else in the world smells like that.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
You know, one time we had a hill bombed, for twelve hours.
When it was all over I walked up.
We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink body..

The smell, you know that gasoline smell, the whole hill.
Smelled like... victory

Ueber den Bilds:
Den hintergrund war die Vietnamische Monch demonstrant gegen den Kriegs, er hat sich selbst gebrant um den laenge kriegt zu beendigen.Rechte Bilds zeigt sich Crackpot Soladten, ja die ist wirklich Amerikanische betrunkene Soldaten, weiss du wie kann den so schrechlich ihre Feinde behaendelt?? Ich und du kann sogar wie dennen so was machen, wenn wir fuer lange Zeit uenter den druecke zwischen Leben und Tot unsere leben verteidigen. Mental zussamenbrechen mein freunds, und es war den Richtige haerteste kriegst und nich den Kriegt selbe.Siehst du den rechte Bild wie ein Vietnamische Kolonel sein Landsleute schiessen, ja der hat Ihm geschossen ohne irgend ein Schuld gefuhlls, er hat vorbei lauffen als ob es war irgend etwas nicht passiert. Den Man sogar fluechtet sich nach Amerika und Jahrelang dort sein leben genissen bevore die Leute ihm finden.
Das war den Krieg und in den Krieg niemand sind schuldig, weil den Kriegt selbt schoen Schuld.
Den Apokaliptische Leben hat Vietnam verlassen, ich fuehle selbst in mein dreimonatige ovenhalt in Saigon dort lebt man als ob gab es kein kriegt dort staatgefunden. Die Apocalypse hat den verlassen die einzige gab nur die Australische Apocalypse Now Dicotheque wo ich jeden woeche dort besuchte, und wenn den lautstaerke The Ends lied von Doors kommen es ist Zeit uns den Halle verlassen.

Rising Fear

"..the world can, in effect, get along without natural resources ... at some finite cost, production can be freed of dependence on exhaustible resources altogether... "
[ 1974 Robert Solow]
His briliant theory saying as follow:
The present value of a resource in the ground is based on the discounted value of all future sales. The owner is indifferent whether to mine more if the net price (market price minus marginal extraction costs) increases at the interest rate over time, and will produce as much as can be sold at that price. If the producer expects its price to rise faster than the interest rate, it's worth more to leave it in the ground and produce later.

That was his thought, but I have my own thought.
The present value of fuel in Fuelstation is based on recent exchanges rates and recent local prices.The net price increase at the interest rate of future exchanges rates + future international market price, If you expecting the inflation rise faster than banknote interest rate, it's worth for to dump every single gallon right now before the Winter time hits the other part our Hemisphere in 2006.In cases of worlwide economic downturning, it's better you eat your banknote right now because it have no worths

ENERGY AS GOLD RESERVE
Back to our highschool physic class.
How much callorie is needed to boiled 1 litre watter at your geographical g-forces condition => how much the callories cost to boilled the watter at recent energy price.
Energy saving or effecienty factor to boilling water could made by high pressure atmospher, ie. closed top => to build/investing in capacity could also be made under high pressure interest rate, as well as time when economical interest of energy investing still lower than energy returning; both type of investment cost just differ in forms ones valuating in money ones valuating in energy.

So the wealth of nation could be measure from the energy they consumpt if only the energy could assumed as money returning more energy they could produced.
People hired people to do works (P) and compensate in money they payed => Country produced goods which consummed energy at cost of local energy price and exporting at exchanges of trade partner in which transport+services actually have been payed from "energy price gap" between both trading partner; on these cases energy resources could be used as competitivenes factors to treating competitior markets.

What when then energy became capital and not more seen as cost factor in production => that was they called as energy-future contract fundings, which common comes use by minning-sectore to financing their exploration; the oil co. presentings the oil-reserve and calculating the investment cost + margin at time lines they issued bonds or any other finance instruments, the security co...underwriter securitized it and sale it top public.
Energy really capital since the price fluctuation could drived more money than the real price of energy at that time they sell.I've been in "Saarland-the german france border" and little bit understand how the electric co. there buy-sale energy on spot under and transffering to their grid system before other parts of region need it.

That was the way of energy economy works and how their effect on GDP as a whole system; if you could conditioning/changes your view to look energy as money, it's could also changes slowly the way you used energy.

Shock Theraphy just LET IT BE

Don't know much about history
Don't know much biology
Don't know much about a science book
Don't know much about the French I took

Don't know much about geography
Don't know much trigonometry
Don't know much about algebra
Don't know what a slide rule is for.

But I do know that one and one is two,
And if this one could be WITHOUT you,
What a wonderful world this would be.
[Sam Cooke lyrics - Wonderful World]

NOTE: Shock Therapy 125% fuel increased => progamable Inflation => reduce power purchase => it just only stable economics zero growth not stagflation ;-)
Whoever how sounds intelectuals the argue, the Folks are not Kuda Lumping and they don't eat statistic papers.
Demand pull inflation is really supply-demand elasticity and it much wealthiest for jobcreation in cases of no monopole like in telecomunication or coal minning; :-P that was difference to cost pull inflation affected by artificial distortion in production cost structure and the main evils is transport cost and , the main problem is our Interest rate quite high enough and the rupiahs allready droped against most other currency, agreggate raw material component come from importing goods.
At least people could understand not to conssuming Jamming Information or anykinds of propaganda which spreadup by colusion clans of coruppting mind peoples.
So i just simplified again.
Cost-pull-inflation => transferring markets to competitor and to let them penetrate our market for their product => no buyers no production => no production no jobs =>no jobs no women => No Woman No Cry => VICTORY FOR MARLEY
