親愛なる米国の友人たちは知っていたかな? 日本の岸田総理は2024年、こういうスピーチをしたんだ。 「ほぼ独力で国際秩序を維持してきた米国。そこで孤独感や疲弊を感じている米国の国民の皆様に、私は語りかけたいのです。そのような希望を一人双肩に背負うことがいかなる重荷であるのか、私は理解しています。 世界は米国のリーダーシップを当てにしていますが、米国は、助けもなく、たった一人で、国際秩序を守ることを強いられる理由はありません。 もちろん、米国のリーダーシップは必要不可欠です。 もしも米国の支援がなかったら、モスクワからの猛襲を受けたウクライナの希望は、どれほど前についえ去ってしまっていたことでしょう。 もしも米国の存在がなかったら、インド太平洋地域はどれほど前に、より厳しい現実にさいなまれていたことでしょう。 皆様、米国の最も親しい友人、トモダチとして、日本国民は、自由の存続を確かなものにするために米国と共にあります。それは、日米両国の国民にとどまらず、全ての人々のためにであります。」 今は岸田総理から高市総理に代わったが、高市総理も米国を最高に大事にしている総理大臣だよ。

えらくバズってるのですがアメリカのBBQやステーキに該当するものが思い付かないので、何か面白くて日本らしい物を伝えたくて思い付かん。 とりあえず、日本人が年に一度は必ず食べるけど、それを食べる事による年間死亡者(関連死含む)が3500人を超える食べ物を紹介します。 餅(mochi)

Listen in closely. @AlchemyAmerican has surfaced something quite important.

🚨BREAKING: NASA's Lead Electrostatics Scientist claims he’s discovered a “new force” that counteracts gravity with no fuel necessary. Dr. Charles Buhler has run 2,000 vacuum chamber experiments showing a propellantless thrust force that persists after the power is switched off, and cannot be explained by ion wind, magnetic effects, or classical energy conservation. The input is pure electricity and the output is millinewtons of thrust counteracting gravity. He believes his work vindicates the legacy of midcentury antigravity pioneer Thomas Townsend Brown and will lead to a new paradigm of propellantless deep space travel that transcends chemical combustion rockets🚨 Charles Buhler has a PhD in condensed matter physics from Florida State University, spent over two decades at NASA's Electrostatics and Surface Physics Laboratory at Kennedy Space Center (which he now leads), and is the incoming president of the Electrostatic Society of America. He is NASA’s authority on electrostatics. His colleague Andrew Aurigema, a 35-year veteran engineer working from the Townsend Brown electrogravitics lineage, developed a parallel version of the same experiment independently, and the two discovered each other through a mutual colleague who had been watching both of them work in silence for years. Together, under their company Exodus Propulsion Technologies, they have tested nearly 2,000 variations of what they believe is a previously undocumented force. He’s also developed a quantum electrodynamics based theory to explain his results. Buhler’s patent is now under formal examination by the U.S. Patent Office with affidavit-signing witnesses being contacted independently. This is the future of space travel, beyond chemical combustion. With Rocketry, we can only get to Proxima Centauri B in 80,000 years. And you’d burn through the fuel well before that. It’s completely untenable for interstellar travel. 1. Buhler’s Skeptic Mentor Stopped Cold in 2010 The first demonstration happened in a non-vacuum lab using a laser aimed at a wall to detect small displacements. Buhler had his future brother-in-law run the test. His mentor, Dr. Sid Clements, an electrostatics expert who had dismissed the work entirely, watched the laser move and immediately abandoned what he was doing. He walked over, ran through a series of verification steps on the spot, and never questioned the reality of the effect again. That was 2010. It took two more years working with Drew before Buhler realized the force appeared even without any B field or current present. He wasn't in the field momentum regime at all. He was in pure electrostatics. 2. The Force is Not Explainable by Newton’s Laws or Ion Wind Ion wind produces thrust in the same direction the ionized air is traveling. The “Exodus force” (Buhler’s name for his new force) produces thrust perpendicular to the expected ion wind direction, reverses cleanly when the device is flipped, and remains present inside a sealed enclosure where no ionized air can escape. Buhler documented this publicly with video: a balsa lifter placed inside a sealed plastic box on a scale, powered up, lifts internally while the scale reads flat. That is conservation of momentum. That is what ion wind looks like. The Exodus force is something different, and Buhler, as the person who leads NASA's only electrostatics lab, is in an unambiguous position to make that distinction. 3. 2,000 Variations, All Producing the Same Result Since beginning collaboration with Drew, Buhler has tracked nearly 2,000 distinct test articles, each tested multiple times. Pendulums. Spinners. Rotators. Force plates. Scales. Pendulum deflections inside Faraday cages. Reversed polarity tests. Vacuum chamber runs at multiple pressure levels. DC-only configurations that eliminate magnetic field artifacts entirely. Every geometry, every material, every packaging approach. The force appears consistently. When a confounding variable is proposed, they address it, run the modified test, and the force is still there. Buhler says if an exotic explanation remains, it is not one he or any colleague has been able to name. 4. The Device Generates Thrust With the Power Off This is the finding that breaks the classical framework entirely. After charging the device and disconnecting it from the power supply, the thrust continues. The capacitor does not drain in the way a simple energy storage calculation would predict. Put on a scale, the weight reduction persists. Buhler's description: if placed in space with the power off, the device would accelerate. He cannot explain that to the scientific community and says so directly. David Chester, who has independently interacted with Drew through APEC sessions and private communications, said he cannot think of a prosaic explanation for this. The phenomenon has been reproduced enough times across enough configurations that calling it experimental error is no longer a defensible position. 5. The Implications of This for Past Antigravity Work Buhler believes his work is derivative of and related to Townsend Brown’s midcentury asymmetric capacitor experiments also showing thrust with pure electricity as the input. Chemical combustion is limited - plain and simple - we can’t get to the nearest habitable planet (Proxima Centauri B) in close the amount of time we’d need; it would take us 80,000 years and we’d burn through the fuel before we got there. It’s a checkmate in one argument against anyone claiming rockets are the frontier of efficiency. This was the dream of Thomas Townsend Brown – one that got stifled and suppressed behind the veil of secrecy and subcompartments. The common trope from experiments around the world are high electric field differentials seem to result in thrust. Buhler’s experiment exists in this lineage. 6. The Patent Office is Running the Peer Review Buhler made a deliberate choice not to pursue academic peer review as a primary path. His second patent is currently under examination, and the examiner's office has been reaching out to independent witnesses who have signed affidavits confirming they have seen and reproduced the effect. Buhler describes this as equivalent to scientific peer review, run by people with no financial interest in the outcome. His first patent may have been held under a national security review process before release. He does not confirm this, but he was aware it was a risk when he filed. 7. A QED Theorist Could Poke Holes in the Theory, But Not the Experiment We brought in UCLA PhD David Chester to evaluate Buhler’s ideas on quantum electrodynamics (which might account for the thrust being seen). David Chester's contribution was not to validate the theory Buhler proposed. He found some issues with the specific scalar virtual photon framing Buhler had developed. What Chester could not do was provide a prosaic explanation for the experimental results themselves. He said directly that, of all the anomalous phenomena he has surveyed, Buhler and Drew's work ranks in the top ten for experimental persuasiveness, specifically because of the iteration rate and the self-consistency across configurations. He noted that Drew's innovation rate alone, constantly testing new geometries and material stacks, is unlike anything he has seen from other groups making similar claims. Buhler pointed out that his theories were based on time-independent perturbation theory which Chester admits requires further examination from him. 8. NASA's UAP Investigation Had No Physicists Buhler and his wife, an engineer in NASA's Launch Services Program, were approached to assist with NASA's second UAP follow-on investigation. When Buhler asked to be placed with the physicists on the project, he was told there were none. The group was instrumentation-focused. Buhler says he was genuinely shocked. His reaction, expressed directly: if you are facing objects that defy the laws of physics, why is there not a single physicist in the room. He described the same reaction Eric Davis has expressed publicly. This is either institutional brain death or something else is happening somewhere else. 9. Six Lights Emerged from the Ocean Near Patrick Air Force Base Around 2013, Buhler and his wife were alone on the beach near Cocoa Beach, Florida, three miles south of Patrick Air Force Base. A red light appeared roughly three miles offshore, grew extremely bright, then appeared to explode, lighting the full length of beach. A helicopter launched from Patrick Air Force Base, flew to the location, hovered briefly, and returned to base without intervening. The light did not stop. It began moving toward them. At some point it split from one light into six rotating orange-pink lights that went under the water and re-emerged in a repeating cycle. The lights tracked their movement along the beach for forty minutes, closing to within roughly fifty yards before disappearing. Buhler says similar lights have been reported by others in the same area, and Stephen Greer runs group observation sessions approximately forty minutes south of the same beach. 10. The Force Crosses the Unity Threshold for Space Already The current demonstrated force is in the five to ten millinewton range. For Earth launch, that is not yet sufficient, and Buhler does not claim otherwise. For orbital station-keeping, for preventing satellite orbital decay, for repositioning between orbits in microgravity, the force exceeds what is needed. Buhler calls this hitting unity for space, moon, and Mars applications without any major development beyond what has already been demonstrated. The self-launcher, a device capable of lifting itself from Earth's surface, is the declared goal. No blueprints exist yet for the energy requirements. But the force is real, it is directional, it reverses on command, and it does not require continuous power to sustain. Why This Matters NASA's lead electrostatics scientist ran nearly 2,000 controlled experiments, eliminated every prosaic explanation the field has available, documented a thrust that persists after the power is cut, watched the fine structure constant emerge from the data repeatedly, and submitted a second patent currently under formal examination. A QED theorist with no commercial stake in the outcome reviewed the experimental claims and could not find a conventional explanation. The standard debunking line for this entire lineage of experiments has always been ion wind. That argument has been answered, documented, and filmed. What remains is a force that requires either new physics or an error that two decades of systematic testing has not been able to locate. The patent process will resolve part of this. The vacuum chamber footage will resolve more of it. Full conversation is live now. The next stage in human space travel is here.

いや、イーロンやっぱり半端ないわ。 この2日間のタイムライン見てて、今までと全く異質の連帯感、良い意味で「ヤバい」空気感をひしひしと感じる。 テキサスのBBQダディと東京の4畳半が肉汁で繋がって、トランプが地に堕とした日本人の対アメリカ感情を揺り戻しに行ってるのとか最早冗談だろwって思うわ。 名ばかりWEB2.0、3.0なんか比較にならない。 限られたSNSの文字上の世界と言えど、有史以来初めて世界の人が共通言語を手に入れた。 バベルの塔の例えは決して大袈裟じゃない。 今のところ賛否両論だけど、ワイは肯定派かな。 高い識字率、固有の繊細な表現、諧謔を理解する文化的背景…SNSにこれほど向いた民族も居ない。 人によっては新たなマネタイズの機会にもなるだろうし、文字通り世界が広がるんじゃないかな。 確かに文化的衝突もあろうが、それは可視化されていないだけで本質的には常に目の前に横たわっている。 むしろ互いのイデオロギーの違いを認識した上で、もっと言葉で遣り合うべきだよ。 たとえ相互理解が難しくとも、いきなりミサイルを撃ち込むよりかは全然良い。 「好き」の反対は「嫌い」ではなく「無関心」。 息を吞むような美しさも、目を背けたくなるような惨状も…恐れることなく扉を開けて新たな世界を覗きに行こうじゃないか。 未来は僕らの手の中に。

異文化に対し、敬意を持ちつつ何とかしたいと願うのと、オリエンタリズムな視点で内心下に見ながらそれに心を寄せる自分素晴らしいみたいなのと。 リベラルの「やさしさ」はとうに見透かされていて、なのに彼らは未だ自分らは優しく正しく理解されていないと思っている。 理解した上で嫌われているのに

アメリカの皆さん、私はアメリカが大好きな日本人の女性です。現在はなぜかイギリスに住んでいます。 ところで皆さんにどうしてもお伝えしておきたいことがあります。 日本とアメリカはかつて戦争をしました。 しかし、戦後の日本では占領軍としてやってきたアメリカ人を大歓迎しました。 なぜ敵だってアメリカ人をそんなに歓迎したかわかるでしょうか。 それは日本に来たアメリカ軍の人々が日本人に対して大変親切であったからです。 例えば私の祖母は夫フィリピンで亡くしているのですが、アメリカ軍のやっていたPXで雇われてまだ小さかった叔母を養うことができました。 当時の日本は戦争未亡人に対する扱いが大変厳しく、祖母は仕事を見つけることができませんでした。 しかし、そこでシングルマザーの祖母をすぐに雇ってくれたのがアメリカの軍の人々だったのです。 そして彼らは祖母にたくさんの食べ物を送りました。 クリスマスにはケーキや豪華な缶詰をくれたのです。 祖母は生涯そのような親切さを忘れることがありませんでした。 ですから、私がアメリカに留学することに大変賛成していました。 そして日本人は戦争はしていたのではありますが、アメリカがもたらした民主主義や自由者を歓迎しました。 それは多くの日本人が求めていたものだったからです。 そして、アメリカの人々は日本を民主化し、占領においても日本人を一生懸命助けてくれました。 日本人は戦争はしましたが、そのような恩は忘れないのです。 そのような経験があったために、日本人のアメリカ人に対する考え方は大変前向きです。 そして日本人はアメリカ人の明るさや正義感があるところが大好きです。 我々日本人はアメリカの人々が思うよりもずっとシンプルで素直なのです。 我々は言葉の裏を読んだり、行間を読むような事はしません。 他の歴史が長い国の人々は、そんな我々のことを単純で騙しやすいと言うふうに言いますが、私たちは狡猾なことをやるのが嫌いなのです。 そして私たちはアメリカ人も似たような性質を持っていると言うことを感じています。 だから私たちはアメリカ人が好きなのです。

About my account name. May was my nickname when I was working in Italy, because my real name was difficult for some people to pronounce. So I used the short form, May. At that time, I was living in Rome, Italy. In Italian, Rome is written as Roma. I needed a handle name to use on the Japanese social media platform Mixi, so I simply combined May and Roma. That’s all. By the way, I am from Japan, and all of my ancestors are Japanese. I studied in the U.S. as an exchange student for part of my B.A., and later earned both an M.A. and an M.Sc. I did an internship in Washington, D.C., worked in Tokyo and Rome, and then moved to the UK because my husband is English. Our son is half English. The icon is a photo of him when he was a baby. I thought it was funny to use his photo. It looks as if a baby is talking....

Question, how was/is Voltron viewed by most in Japan? I LOVED Voltron but was never exposed to Gundam until adulthood. I know of Gundam’s fan following but never see much about Voltron…was V a ripoff?? Please tell me that Voltron isn’t to Gundam what Go Bots were to Transformers! 🥺
