Tax avoidance ‘a threat to democracy’

Tax avoidance ‘a threat to democracy’ Guardian – 13 February 2013.

OECD calls for crackdown on tax avoidance by multinationals

As this blog has been saying - there is $21 trillion hidden in tax havens, growing at $1 trillion a year. This is approximately ALL the World's surplus - generated by all the work that everybody does. But our work still is not enough for "The Free Markets" who tell us our nations have Mountains of Debt. We must all work harder, for less pay, to make the rich even richer - effortlessly. 

The OECD says: "Figures show that, in 2010, Barbados, Bermuda and the British Virgin Islands received more foreign direct investment than Germany or Japan.

Not only do offshore havens act as a base for multinationals to deposit funds, the funds are recycled for further investment into developing nations. The British Virgin Islands was the second largest investor into China in 2010 after Hong Kong. The BVI accounted for 14% of all investments into China compared with 45% from Hong Kong. The US trailed with 4% of the total investment into China.

Cyprus is the top investor into Russia, with 25% of all foreign investment, while Mauritius accounts for a quarter of all foreign investment into India."

The ease with which 'big guys' shift profits to offshore havens shows governments need to step up their efforts - think-tank warns.

FLU PANDEMIC STARTS IN OXFORD UK - Farewell Cruel World - While the world and his wife are lying on Caribbean beaches swilling pinacoladas and scattering their tax-free dollars like confetti - I am on the verge of a flu virus induced premature death:-

THEY SHOULD COLLECT THE OFFSHORE TAX
AND INVEST IT IN OUR FOODTUBES FREIGHT PROJECT.

It is cold and snowing here in Oxford today; and my gas powered Worcester-Bosch central heating boiler went on strike at 11am, with alarming, insistent glugging and banging sounds. Our stone floor has, allegedly, underfloor heating. Without heat it quickly freezes - or so it feels. The Bosch engineers are in great demand - because boilers stop more often in cold weather - and the engineers are driven by Free Market Forces. One is coming to our rescue ...in a few days time. He will find our boiler sort of operating, after a fashion, because, fearful of the cold, I spent all day looking at YouTube manuals, assembling my 3 or 4 DiY tools, and very slowly, with trepidation and great ignorance, disembowelling the Bosch.  And the heating is now ON. Touch wood! 

However, the OECD has pronounced on one of my hot topics - taxation (see above - I really must get out more) and what they say is pertinent to what I have previously written and is important to The World. 

Lacking the energy to be both a crack gas water heating engineer and a top tax essayist on the same day; I leave you with the links to the OECD's opinions - basically saying it is time to collect all the back taxes, or the World will fall apart - which is my view too. 

• GOOD BANKS - BAD TAX ADVICE 

GOOD BANKS - BAD TAX ADVICE

HAPPY DAYS ARE HERE AGAIN

The bad news for hapless, bewildered clients and for the World is that major global banks, including Barclay's Bank, have been tax-planning on grand scales for their customers and shifting vast amounts of money from country to country, generating what we call tax-evasion-capital-flight (“which is of course all perfectly legal”) such as has ruined Greece.  

When, in the good old days, we tax-planned legitimately and kept clients safe with tax-compliance work, our most incompetent competitors were the banks’ so called tax-departments. Their countless errors in those days usually meant their clients overpaid taxes – and we had the job of untangling knots tied by untrained amateurs; to the satisfaction of the tax officers and of the law.

Tax, Accounts and Returns are a slow business, often lagging 2 years behind the transactions. Even when eventually “agreed” by tax officers, Mistake & Error visits can reopen tax assessments back for 10, 20 or 30 years – which are called Back-Duty-Cases. Clients who may like to fondly imagine that matters are closed - because their banks “handled it” and agreed risibly small assessments in high-tax area such as the USA or UK or EU – will be in for major shocks when the Back-Duty-Cases start.

Sadly – for clients – they will find it is themselves who signed the Balance Sheets, The Corporation Tax Returns, The Payroll Tax Annual Returns, The Sales Tax and VAT returns – not their advisers, tax-planners or auditors. It is their own hands that have Declared Honest Complete Compliance with the Laws of the day – at best signed in error; at worst signed as False Accounting and Fraudulent Conspiracy. Basically, in normal human terms, the tax-payers have been Keeping Two Sets of Books. That fictional. honest, tax paying, London juryman, The Ordinary Man on The Clapham Omnibus - might simply think that they should all be clapped in irons.

The good news for the World and for those misled, ill-advised, wronged clients (any legal person or organisation) of banks’ tax-planning is that banks still have lots of money. When national treasuries demand repatriation and clients sue to recover the crippling tax bills reaching back thirty years – the banks have enough to pay the compensation and put matters right. The other good news is that in contributing to paying up the back-taxes and thus repatriating the tax-evasion-capital-flight funds – the banks will be paying off most of the national and international deficits that are currently triggering budget-austerity and global recession.  The tax-planning banks in turn will see if they can sue their tax-lawyers and counsel and recover their losses via their advisers’ professional indemnity insurance policies. There is $21 trillion to get back for the major economies – for the OECD High Streets that originally generated the cash – so there is enough for everybody – enough to pay off ALL debt and to feed ALL the hungry.

Good times are coming. It is an ill wind that blows nobody …etc.

THE LAST (and NEXT) POPE

Update 14 March 2013.

POPE FRANCIS 1ST - 13 MARCH 2013

Superstitious meanderings and joking apart (as below) - the World last night welcomed a new Pope, a new, if 76 years old, Bishop of Rome, to lead 1.2 billion Catholics into the new era. I believe it is a cause for celebration, because Pope Francis 1st does seem to mark a revolutionary step forward for one of the oldest (I am prepared to be corrected) major organisations or empires the world has known. 

St Peter (died in AD 64) was the first Bishop of Rome - from sometime after 40 AD - a few years after Jesus Christ rose from the dead (Easter) and returned to Heaven. On that basis, the Catholic Church in Rome is one thousand nine hundred and seventy three years old. Most observers round it up to two-millennia for convenience. 

Saint Francis, the name chosen by Argentinian Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, comes in two complementary styles - St. Francis of Assisi (Italian 1181 - 1226) who loved animals and founded the humble and avowedly-poor Franciscan Order of Monks - and St Francis Xavier (Spanish 1506-1552) co-founder with Saint Ignatius Loyola (Spanish 1491-1556) of the intellectual, international and self-effacing Society of Jesus, the Jesuits, or The Pope's Commandos as they have been called. Both orders embrace poverty and simplicity and both are teaching orders. 

Pope Francis, a Jesuit with a good and gentle sense of humour, is renowned for his simple living - in a one room flat in Buenos Aries instead of his palace, using buses instead of chauffeur driven cars - and for his persistent advocacy and support for the poor. As a Jesuit, he should be clever and politically adept. As a traditional older cleric, he is reputed to be a conservative Catholic - probably with all the usual mistaken misapprehensions about sex and reproduction. 

My belief, reading the tea-leaves, tarot cards, crystal balls and the world's media, is that 2013 will be a pivotal year of great change for the human race - possibly partly due to the maturing and spread of the Internet - a miracle of human ingenuity and cooperation - and Pope Francis, who should have at least another 30 years in him, might be a significant power and force in the changes. We hope and pray they are changes for the better, ushering in a global era of Intelligent Cooperation.

The jokes:

APOCALYPSE NOW  - THE END OF DAYS - THE GREAT CONSPIRACY

The unprecedented abdication of Pope Benedict the Sixteenth is possibly thought by many occult scholars and meritorious historians to portend the devilish conspiracy to fulfil the final prophecy of The Apocalypse of Saint John – opening the last chapter of the Last Days of the Last Era for all Humanity.  

IS THE ANTI-CHRIST COMING?

This coming world leader has been given many names and titles in the Bible, including one of the best known, yet most misleading - the 'Antichrist.'  Although he will be against faithful Christians and will mock God’s Word, the world will view him as a great leader and a man of peace.  This man will be Satan’s counterfeit messiah. He will use deception and lies to "spin" his web of deceit and to conceal his true motives.  Prophecies hint this man will not be fully revealed until after the Rapture, when the "Restrainer", the United States of America, is taken out of the way . . .

WHO WILL IT BE?

HE - WHO CANNOT BE NAMED.
WILL HE BE THE LAST POPE

It is a strong probability, supported by, it is conjectured, numerous ancient Illuminati, who must remain protected by anonymity, that Cardinal Ratzinger, currently The Bishop of Rome, who is almost certainly presumed by The Da Vinci Elect to be six hundred and sixty-six years old, or so ancient coded texts may reveal – was chosen to be groomed by the covert Satanic powers behind the Hitler Youth movement, to ascend from roots of fire and darkness to take the Throne of Saint Peter; and to prepare the twisted path, it is widely believed by those who may have studied such matters in great depth, For Him Who Rules the Earth, The Great Deceiver, The Last Pope …or is it The Antichrist – who has been ordained and prepared to climb the pinnacle of Earthly Power. Could it be this man - whose name can never be uttered?

WHEN?

It is widely believed that the last pope of the Catholic Church will succeed Pope Benedict XVI.  Many people believe that we are in "the end times."  That the signs are all around us.  St. Malachy, (d. 1148) Irish Bishop and Seer, produced an accurate list of future popes which began with Pope Celestine II in the year 1143. His list consists of a single line which gives a clue to the characteristics of each pope. From this list of 112 popes there is to be just one more after Pope Benedict XVI.

VICTIMLESS CRIMES - TAX EVASION

TAX FIDDLES ARE VICTIMLESS CRIMES.

 Oh no they are not!

TIME TO GET ANGRY AND TAKE ACTION
TO REPATRIATE OUR ASSETS.

It might have been true 50 years ago that one rich and powerful British autocrat shovelling money into tax-havens had little impact on a country’s socio-economic system. But now it has reached plague levels, causing mass unemployment in developed and undeveloped nations, it is sabotaging the work of all of us – and killing the prospects for the next generations who are our children and grandchildren. The plague is stealing our time, our days and our lives – merely by fiddling the books.

Every executive Tom Dick and Harriet with their sticky fingers in corporate tills, in small and large organisations, has been persuaded by “tax-planners”, who are often also their auditors, that making up invoices, contracts and transactions to gouge out profits and capital from the real business to brass-plates pretend businesses or pretend non-domiciled persons in tax-havens – is legal. It is not. At best such manoeuvres are merely cheating the whole nation and the shareholders by deception (wire fraud); at worst such creating of two sets of books is criminal False Accounting and usually Fraudulent Conspiracy. Siphoning away capital and assets via false accounting and freezing them in tax-havens while the perpetrators sit on their fat sweaty hands and refuse to reinvest – is criminal.

The victims of these crimes are now easily identified; they include all the unemployed youngsters in the developed world and many of the unemployed older generation in crippled, illiquid countries such as Greece, Spain and the UK. The Lagarde List of 2,059 Greeks with once secret Swiss bank accounts reveals that one of the “family” accounts contains or contained $500 million. If that is typical and is the average, the whole gang of them have exported $1,029,500,000,000 – about $1 trillion - from Athens to Zurich. Instead, the money could create 6,500,000 (six and a half million) jobs in Greece at $30,000 a year for 5 years. That would get the economy going again. Money has to circulate, not stagnate.

The USA, the UK and most OECD nations are “in debt”; often described as mountains of debt – which we have to borrow back from “The Free Markets”. Why is Britain, which is in the top seven global economies and has been hugely successful since the Industrial Revolution of 1770, in debt? Why is the largest economy in the world in debt? Why is Spain in debt? Why is Greece bankrupt? Where do the “Free Markets” which include organised crime cartels, get the Rivers of Cash to lend us to meet our mountains of debt? They get it from the off-shore tax havens - who get it from our High Streets. We are borrowing back our own money.

It is time for a major push to repatriate the tax-haven assets – and put the money back to work. It is time to get very, very angry at all the bent bookkeepers.

(For those innocent business people who have been duped into “tax-planning - which is of course all strictly legal” take comfort from your tax-planners’ Professional Indemnity Insurance which might pay all the costs of a back-duty-case, which are often enormous.)

TAX AND ECONOMY - ARCHIVE - JAN13

Letter to Ex-Treasury Minister and Member of Parliament for Oxford-East, Rt Hon Andrew Smith MP.

7 February 2013.

Dear Andrew,

UK TAX AVOIDANCE AND EVASION – TAX-HAVENS

Thank you for your letter of 5^th February 2013, enclosing a reply (attached as JPEGS) dated 25 Jan 2013 from David Gauke, HM Treasury, to my query (below) about taxing tax-haven assets; and thank you for continuing to press this matter.

It is most encouraging that an extra £5 billion and another £9 billion per year – totalling £22 billion, is expected to be collected from tax-havens by a new centre of excellence with £1 billion more resources for tax compliance.

However, of the $21 trillion assets in tax-havens, estimated by the OECD, TJN and Christian Aid, it is likely that at least $2 trillion has been transferred from UK High Streets, depleting UK liquidity.  The £22 billion or US$34.7 billion is 1.7% of those estimated UK funds siphoned to tax-havens.  

The UK Treasury should therefore increase its recovery targets by 59 times. It is my professional view that most of the $2 trillion could be recovered through aggressive HMRC Back-Duty-Tax cases, rescinding tax-reliefs previously granted on “funny-money” contracts and invoices, from self-evidently false, but allegedly active & commercial, units in tax-havens - sent to siphon profits and capital from UK trading activities.  

Such back-duty cases are more likely to succeed if the professional authors of the original “tax-planning” schemes, who now are consultants to or sit on the Board of HMRC, and all other revolving-door commercial accountants who influence HM Government, immediately retire from government and court offices.

($34,700,000,000 as a percentage of $2,000,000,000,000 is 1.7%) - £2 trillion will repair all UK deficits and fully replenish our bank deposits for investment into jobs and new industries.  Otherwise we might well follow Greece and Spain, both wrecked by endemic tax-evasion, into 40% youth unemployment and despair for the future.

Best wishes

Noel

To Rt. Hon Andrew Smith MP

By email

6 December 2012.

Dear Andrew

As the UK media nit-picks through George Osborne’s bleak midwinter Autumn Statement, pinching pennies from widows, orphans, the unemployed and single mums – and a few pounds from long suffering Middle England – I am astonished that neither government nor media have mentioned the $21 trillion of untaxed money buried in tax havens. It has been widely reported.

My calculation and estimate of how much of it was siphoned from the UK economy is at least $2 trillion; or more than two years of the UK Budget. This is more than it would be based on a strict global percentage of population, because of the money-conduits via The City of London and the UK’s historic governance and substantial use of tax-havens.

Most of the tax-free $2 trillion could be repatriated to the UK through the simple act of HMRC raising back-duty-tax assessments on all the capital balances that can be located. “Owners” would quickly identify themselves to avoid confiscation of numbered and anonymous accounts. Tax payers are in law assumed to be guilty until they prove themselves innocent (they must explain their assets) and HMRC have the legal right to claw-back without time limit; and to charge compound interest and penalties. HMRC could at the same time cancel tax relief previously granted by the UK on fabricated invoices, management charges, royalties, fantastic interest charges, dummy dividends, warped transfer pricing etc. These laws, powers and rules already exist and are often applied by HMRC. Such assessments usually amount to the whole of the tax-evasion-capital-flight; in this case $2 trillion. The “owners” are lucky if they escape prison sentences for the existing crimes of false-accounting and fraudulent-conspiracy.

No new laws are required to be passed to recover the tax-haven assets. The process can start without delay.

Would you please raise a question in Parliament on the following lines:  

The OECD, Paris; Christian Aid; The Tax Justice Network; and others, claim there is $21 trillion hidden in tax-havens. More than $2 trillion may have been siphoned from UK businesses and transactions. As the UK is heavily in debt domestically and internationally and as The Chancellor is necessarily cutting budgets up to 2018, will HM Government arm HMRC with all the resources required to rapidly repatriate the UK’s part of the $21 trillion – which might amount to $2 trillion or more? This amount would clear the UK’s indebtedness, refill UK banks and create surplus funds to invest in UK sustainable jobs and modern industries.  $2 trillion will pay for 3.3 million $30,000 (£20K) jobs, for 20 years.  

If the UK lacks a tax-savvy leader for the repatriation, please say that I will do the job with a team of 500 Military Intelligence and Top HMRC Officers, for 2.5% commission on recovered funds. Below is part of the attached .pdf document from the Tax Justice Network citing the $21 trillion hidden in tax-havens.

We are all in this together and it is economic warfare. Let’s get on with it.

Yours sincerely

Noel Hodson, Oxford

SEX AND SIN EXPLAINED

I have said before that I don’t like to write on subjects I have not studied. But we all, including me, have our daily, lifetime, close, intimate, insider knowledge of SEX. As a prize winning Roman Catholic student for my first 18 years, I also learned about SIN – so my views on this topic are as expert as anyone’s.

To mark the passage on 5 February 2013, of a historic Bill in the British Parliament to legitimise Same Sex Marriages, Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Bill ,which I applaud and approve of, here is how sex and society work.

In the beginning, for a few hundred thousand years after Adam, Eve and The Apple, we had primate sexual instincts, natural uninhibited behaviour ordained by God, within family groups; growing into clans, villages and towns. With larger communities and cities, containing a sprinkling of lunkheads, loonies and throwbacks, simple, natural and basic family sex controls were insufficient, and, from time to time, communities went bananas and indulged in orgies, rape, licentiousness and thoroughly destructive sexual activities. 

The Old Testament God tried to knock some sense into Mankind (now Person Kind) pointing out that unfettered free-love and violent-passion, casually shagging everything that moved, brought unwanted pregnancies, venereal diseases and social chaos. He laid down some relevant laws – Thou Shalt Not… etc and reinforced His (or Her) rules by arbitrarily wiping out entire communities; e.g. All of Noah’s neighbours, Sodom and Gomorrah, and several other major cities and nations. Then God delegated this work to Rabbis, Priests, Imams, Philosophers and Politicians. 

Religionists, apart from being our gatekeepers to Heaven, found it great fun to forbid all sexual activity, unless they permitted or performed it. So the original sensible controls were perverted into our modern mess of veto, sin, guilt, fifty-shades-of-grey, penance, forgiveness and sale of indulgences. Crazed religious philosophers made up all sorts of mad rules, with slight geographical variations, to control every sexual act, even masturbation and erotic-dreams, and included the diets and breathing habits, of everybody (else); which brought us female circumcision, harems, burkas, chastity belts, hair shirts, stoning adulterers and fornicators - i.e. anyone (else) who enjoys or even indulges in sex – incest, homophobia, brothels, sex-trafficking, back-street-abortions, sexual sadism, Jimmy Savile, and the widespread physical and mental bullying and oppression of young girls and boys - that many religionists still so much enjoy.

All people with power took the personal right to have unconstrained sex with anyone they fancied – and became very jealous of less powerful people enjoying sex. The ordinary folk figured out where babies come from and were very concerned about who should pay for the babies. They also became obsessed with the fear that they might not be enjoying sex as much as others; creating Peeping-Toms, mass prurience and Murdoch’s profitable Page 3 (of The Sun newspaper).

Aristocrats, superior beings with locked Harems and Droit de Signeur, worried about their sex-slaves, wives or relatives being sexually satisfied by anyone else. And, horror of horrors, before DNA testing, they worried even more about bequeathing their wealth to cuckoos in the nest. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droit_du_seigneur

These intertwined religious, land and money concerns led to all of today’s complexity of rules, regulations and warped social behaviour.

The American Civil War almost removed the bosses legal right to screw all their slaves – except of course for the continuing rights of the super-rich.

Over thousands of years, humanity is gradually breaking the grip of the maniacs and bullies who insist on their illogical, primitive and fabricated prohibitions and privileges.

Remember the dictionary definition of such peculiar, buttoned up folk…

PURITANISM 
The haunting suspicion that somebody somewhere might be enjoying themselves.

…and celebrate the clear air of the new enlightenment.

ENGLISH SEX

ENGLISH SEX

Today, 5 February 2013, the UK’s elected representatives, Members of Parliament, sitting in the House of Commons, under the symbolic tower of Big Ben (size does matter), will have a free vote – free of Party dictates – on Same Sex Marriage. As all Americans know, the English are a peculiar lot when it comes to sex; and from our side, we are indeed deeply confused by it all.  The near bankrupt UK can no longer afford to include sex-education or guidance in our schools, but, having six-hundred mature members probe sex and marriage in Parliament, will at last give birth to clear moral and sexual leadership for the British. 

How, in writing this, can we avoid double-entendres, crass vulgarity and embarrassing innuendo? With great difficulty, I suspect.  We will just have to skirt around the delicate issues. Firstly, it would be more accurate to call it Same Gender Marriage not Same Sex – as the sex is likely to be infinitely varied while the genders are definitively limited to just three.

Mass Debating

From the 600 Members in the House, the Act will pass to The 500 Lords (in another House), who include Ladies (but not gentlemen) and all the Bishops of The Church of England or Anglican Church, frocked or unfrocked; for further debate. And, because there are many of them, it is called mass debating. (Sorry about that, the joke has tacitly amused me since puberty; matched only by the James Bond film joke about cunning linguists; which definitely should not be inserted here). One of the consequences of the Same Sex Marriage Act will be to add fuel to the passionate Ecumenical arguments about appointing Women Bishops, and cohabitating Homosexual but Celibate Bishops that have raged for years – for two-thousand years according to some debaters.

BISHOPS - GAY - FEMALE?

British radio, television and newspaper journalists are excitedly obsessed by, even tumescent and engorged by contemplating the moral, ethical, spiritual, religious, Biblical, sinful, saintly, legal, political, fiscal, commercial, health, family, human, inhuman, alien, personal, inheritance, socio-economic, paternity, maternity - and the mind bending, gymnastic, physical imagery, which is unspoken but lurks under the covers at all times – issues of this biggest of all questions. 

A major conundrum – that raised its bewildered hot little head on the BBC this morning, when a male Member objector to Same Sex Marriage took the microphone from an enthusiastic, self-outed Political Lesbian Anglican Minister (of politics) – is …Can a Same Sex Marriage be Consummated? And if so, …then How? To what end? (…move quickly on). And, if not consummated in the time honoured meaning of that term, then… can it be a legal marriage? This fundamental breeding issue raises so many unwelcome intimate images of what may be happening in the nation’s Bishoprics, while congregations are bent in prayers and holy music, that we have every good excuse to disengage.

The question boils down to: Who is permitted to do What to Whom, When and With What Anatomical or Prosthetic Parts, for How Long? It is so bewildering that we and our elected (sp.) members should perhaps withdraw, even prematurely, and leave it all to God to decide – on Judgement Day. Like the physicists’ irresolvable conundrum of what happened before the Big-Bang, matters such as these can only be left in God’s capable hands.  

SEX AND SIN EXPLAINED

WHAT IS GRAVITY?

WHAT GRAVITY IS AND HOW IT WORKS – A NEW IDEA.

DYNAMIC EVOLVING Universe

Please read this essay with empty space, outer space, in mind. It ought to be a dark sphere of space, extremely cold – just a few degrees above absolute zero ( −273 °C is zero degrees Kelvin) of any size, far from Earth, and as empty of matter as space can be; which is approximately five hydrogen molecules per cubic metre. Now, travel to the centre of that lonely, cold, lifeless, empty space – open your eyes and look around the sphere – and you will see the whole astonishing, magnificent, shining Universe. Your empty space is filled with Light, broadcast by all the galaxies, stars and phenomena that exist. You can see them because they broadcast, they send out, sphere’s of light waves; some in your visible spectrum, others as X-rays, infra-red, ultra-violet, radio, long-waves, short-waves and every type of waves imaginable. Your empty space is criss-crossed, cross-hatched with trillions of energetic light or electro-magnetic waves. The whole universe presents itself to you in that sphere. The only waves you cannot detect are those too large to fit into your sphere or into your viewing equipment. Casimir found that when a gap between two flat plates excludes large wavelengths, it causes a pressure deficit and the outer complete wavelengths press the plates together; the Casimir effect may stabilise the large and small spheres of the holographic Aether Matrix; and add to gravity within matter.   The majority of the images you detect are accurate, reliable and repeatable. The signals retain their unique identities, their special information, across billions of light-years and trillions of trillions of kilometres. You are occupying a holographic image of the universe made from waves of pure energy that illuminate you and any other objects in that “empty” sphere.

FEB 2016 - UPDATE - NEW GRAVITY (or in fact a new explanation. The gravity remains unchanged). I think this idea is starting to have merit - and there are no others out there.

Now, quit that zone. Zip through hyperspace for a few million light years to another empty space; stop and look at the Universe.  It’s the same Universe you are seeing, but from a different angle. The holographic images of the same objects are different. Each viewing zone differs; each is unique. You have discovered that empty space is not empty. You are experiencing the universal Aether-Matrix, made of Light.  Now read on:

WHAT’S NEW? THE HOW AND WHY OF GRAVITY

As explored in my previous speculative essays, why and how all matter and energy attempts to “fall” to the centre of mass – be it The Sun, the Earth, the Galaxy, or yourself, is not understood, but is the fundamental proven, observed fact of gravity. This constant in-falling, compelled by the weakest force (gravity is a billion, billion, billion, billion times weaker than magnetism) is an unsolved scientific mystery; until today.

Although very weak, gravity is persistent, cannot be shielded and reaches to infinity. Magnetism is very strong, can be shielded, with lead for example, and has a short reach. We all experience these two forces, are created by them and we use them at every moment of every day. Nuclear binding forces are very, very powerful, can be shielded, and act at very, very short distances across atoms.

I think that perhaps: Light waves are forged into the primary fundamental particles “Fractals” that revolve as vortices in the light field, the Aether-Matrix. Fractals concentrate a large sphere of pure energy dictated by E=MC² (energy = mass x light-speed x light-speed) Einstein’s famous equation to demonstrate that matter and energy are opposite sides of the same coin and that light cannot go faster than 300,000 km/s. We do not know how Light is concentrated into particles but we have often converted particles back into Light – in atom and hydrogen bombs – with truly spectacularly bright results that show in reverse just how much Light was locked up in the uranium or other fissionable material. Matter is compressed Light (electro-magnetic waves). These tiny Fractals combine to make particles, atoms, stars and planets – that have gravity.

Fractals have a surface revolving at 90 billion k/s, have cleared a huge area of the energy field around them, which is re-filled by in-falling energy, and are expanding due to Hubble expansion at the minuscule rate of 6.819E^-19 % per second  (0.000,000,000,000,000,000,681,9 %) The spinning surfaces repel each other, the in-falling energy attracts each other – which create the underlying dynamic Inertia of the material Universe – where things, phenomena, are robust and persist.

Two revolving Fractals meeting in the partial, Hubble-expanding void, caused by their creation from energy, revolve around each other. They have a common centre of revolution and their orientation or Inertia, aligns. A third Fractal joins and the focal point of revolution shifts; then a fourth and fifth join - and so on. To exist, the Fractals need to draw in energy, which is freely available in our almost infinite Universe. As Fractals congregate, they block each other’s access to the energy – but their Space continues to expand, creating voids which are filled by other in-falling Fractals. We have Gravity. Expansion IS Gravity.

For a body such as a Star, a Planet or a simple rock to continue to have gravity, where all particles seek to fall to the centre (of gravity), Hubble Expansion must be continuous, which it is; and for the cycle to persist the in-falling mass (material and energy) must have an outlet. The gravitating body must be a dissipative system – otherwise gravity stops; it seizes up. My new idea is that all gravitating bodies do expel mass. We detect this reverse flow as energy waves and dust – from the Sun, from all stellar bodies and from ourselves; we broadcast legible unique identifiable radio waves and emit heat, as long as we are alive.

My guess is that the in-falling energy is balanced by the out-flowing energy – and that the differential in the rate of in-flow and out-flow and the time differences between integration and disintegration of mass enables the existence, for a time, of the body or phenomena (phenomena or “things” include pebbles, trees and thoughts – thoughts are tangible packets of energy). This reverse flow manifests as energetic events, which broadcast their presence as waves in expanding spheres; Light waves, that fill the Aether-Matrix with holograms of the entire Universe, even in the so-called “empty” space of outer-space.

Thus the cycle of gravitation is continuous. The Aether-Matrix of Light, which is the fundamental stuff of the Universe, evolves continuously as the reverse flow of energy from integrated phenomena in-forms and re-forms the Aether-Matrix. Like that most unlikely minuscule recording material, DNA, the blueprint for weak and feeble creatures such as we humans, which can retain legible data for millions of years, science knows that the broadcast radio signals from all things – from atoms to worms to black-holes (Hawking radiation) – are indestructible and fill the entire universe. This dynamic energetic feedback creates new templates, which create new forms, which evolve constantly.
