promote Sputnik Mania to the masses

2008/2/18 birdie99 on 43things welcomes rich and poor, males and femmes, users of broad band and users of inferior browsers.

sputnik is an american word now but in the beginning, the russian scientists named their artificial moon sputnik which in russian means traveling companion.

humanity has had artificial traveling companions since the first machines were contrived.

appliances in orbit in space today make it possible for nick clooney and son george to go to darfur and report about the genocide there. abcnews is not the only news network.

cable television laboratories got started in 1988, which is fairly recent. darpa.mil got started in 1958 and dignitaries will celebrate on the tenth day of the fourth month 2008.

who ever becomes commander in chief after november election ballots are counted, will be the most closely observed leader the world has ever had.

he or she will be held to high ethical and moral standards and transparency in govt will be the watch word. privacy for all public servants and rank and file members of the public
will be surrendered.

the automobile as it was held individually in families will go. mobility will be personal
as with horse and rider and as with bike and rider. mobility will also depend on mass modes of transit as in the days of the horse and carriage.

thank heaven for trainweb.com and amtrak and the national network of railroads.

entertainment robots from aibo to cyberpod are on the rise.

watch for film clips at you tube and god tube and dabble.

2008/1/26 birdie99 can only share the internet as she has experienced it.

inexperienced she was in 1967
when she and her hubby began
to learn about the real world.

experiences she survived between 1967 and 2007 led her to the realization that much was kept from her and from her fellow femmes during the cold war. we saw glimpses during the days after dallas 1963 as the warren commission convened
and then irving stone gave us his movie version in JFK.

but the greatest revelation of her late life was sputnik shock of the century.

paul dickson is a mild mannered clark kent type who has been plying his talents as a researcher in relative obscurity. by that i mean oprah hasnt chosen any of his books for her book club.

Oprah the Oracle of radio tv and multi media outlets has not discovered paul dickson
nor has she discovered david hoffman. Or so it seems.

portal J is for those who would like to steal a march on ms oprah and find the next big thing before she does.

perhaps its mission impossible because the dear lady seems omniscient and omnipresent.

O magazine. OWN coming 2009.
its as if she is endowed with super powers. HARPO KINGWORLD.

jcalegacygrp confesses to an admiration of oprah that is the product of surviving on planet earth more than 62 years.

2000,2004,2008 are leap years.

2008/1/26 saturday at park villas and msntv.com and cnbc and nbc universal are all on the trail of the thirty one year old named jerome.

birdie99 said it before and birdie99 will say it again, something has to be done about these thirty somethings.

of course i said in mostly in jest because these thirty somethings have no respect for us sixty somethings. agism.
sexism. racism. elitist. does it ever end? seemingly not.

sociology 101 was revealing to me because i was taught by my tcu.edu professor about in group out group hostility. he taught us how easily it could be achieved, and once brought together as a belief, how hard it is to dispell.

video valdidation of victims came to television on 2006/10/27.

2006/10/27. abcnews aired a story about an abuser who required his thirteen year old son to act as videographer.

2006/10/27 was also the night i picked up my touchtone phone and called 1 877 my mobil. the operator cancelled my lost speedpass devices and created a new one, which i received via usps.gov a few days later.

rfid stands for radio frequency identity device.
speedpass.com allows you to manage your account online.

2008/1/18 birdie99 met lenora rolla and decided to join the naacp.
naacp google will tell you stands for the national association for the advancement of colored people.

the initials can also stand for clinical protocol and for cerebral palsy.

but back in the day when there was a rude name and a polite name, the polite name was colored people.

birdie99 does not wish to offend and cannot pretend to completely comprehend the life and experience of a colored person. but having a disabled child did give me a taste of something that was far from privilege.

whatever years i have left i give to naacp and tcbghs and jcalegacygrp for advancement of colored people.

advancement and promotion both mean pushing forward moving on in a positive direction.

i commend to you the varied directions international grp and its affiliates. Sputnik Mania and Fever of 57 have come at a time when the next 50 years really count.

internet entertainment can advance your goals or cause them to stultify. hoffman and dickson are unknown to you now but soon, very soon, they will become household names.

2008/1/18 birdie99 recalls the end of 1977 and beginning of 1978. living on the top of a steep hill and coming outside only to slide down the hill in my friends van.
my friends van. my own car. in 1977 nothing could warn me of what was to come in 2007.
what was to come in 2007 was despair and determination.
2008 is beginning and i have plans for 2014 although little hope remains that i will be alive. my mom and my ramona
have gone on before me.
Death for the old folks means life for the young. heedless of the sacrifices of their elders, the young are born.
some like megan taylor meier and kevin douglas wilson are
early casualties.

but all are casualties in the end. video games make light of death. game over. done. home.

video games used to be pay per view. i vividly remember video archades in shopping malls and at bowling lanes. (wyatt slaughter always corrected me when i referred to bowling etablishments as bowling alleys.)

the standard fee for access was a quarter. twenty five cents, but not in the form of pennies nickels or dimes. the slot would only accept the quarter. sometimes a token could be substituted as at miniature golf ranges or chuckecheeses.

yes, birdie99 and her daughter did the usual things. skating at the place called roller land was something birdie99 loved. it lasted such a short time. roller skating had been a passion of trula clendenen back in the day.

2008/1/18 birdie99 notes the names of minor children briefly in the news.
andy boler, jack davis, will reeve and donald horn. also i should add charles evans.

first do no harm. it is part of the hippocratic oath taken by all doctors. if it were taken by all educated people, even lawyers, what a world this would be.

birdie99 just throws out these url addresses in case the reader might be curious.

bear in mind that bridging the digital divide is a main goal beyond portal J, i hope the reader aspires to help all who lack min-sys-req as outlined at .there.com to gain access.

many of us baby boomers have given up on their first lives.
second life websites may be their only hope.

to paraphrase our great leader dr martin luther king jr, we might not gain access to there dot com but we will die in the attempt.

2008/1/18 friday viernes and maybe the birthday of DBI.

when birdie99 thinks of DBI she remembers being mentored and befriended by a very dear person indeed.

1978 in March it was that Ms Jean Herndon left policy accounting Nora Henson for Policy Correspondence Mrs. Dorothy Isley.

2008 in March perhaps it will be my turn to be on the giving end of a mentorship just as Dorothy was with me.

Dorothy was always so gracious when men were promoted past her and she was careful to teach them everything she could to add to their success.

in a way i think Hillary Clinton may be called upon to do exactly what Dorothy Isley did if the Democrats are going to have a prayer of winning in November 2008.

Barack Obama is the nearest thing to John F Kennedy the dems have had since Bobby Kennedy was set to take the whitehouse in 1968.

everyone stood by the train tracks to bid farewell to Bobby. train tracks, those remnants of the oldest days in american history. telegraph lines and railroads connected the east and west coast.

2005/8/29 hurricane katrina devastated the third coast.
campbell brown relied on 9yr old Charles Evans who spoke for the survivors with such
eloquence. nine years old and embued with the spirit of new orleans and mississippi and all the folks who did not make it out alive.
the young man resides in texas now with his grandmother and one wonders if he will find his way back into the spot light. jamie foxx comes from a town in texas. opal lee comes from a town in texas. david rhone comes from a town in texas.
codename nagasaki device comes from a town in texas.
why shouldnt texas be the place where Sputnik Mania
lands and has great impact?
2003/2/1 crash of columbia.
2003/3/31 fall of sparrow_ev.

2007/11/25 science fiction is my genre where women can be president of the united states
and where a mouse like algernon can get smart and then die and where chimps can become super chimps or simps
and help robots and humans conquer outer space.

google is wonderful because a person like birdie99 home bound and agorophobic, can explore history in a day.

today she is thinking of 1963.

1960/11/25 a baby boy for m/m john f kennedy. john f kennedy jr and we all saw the proud father on tv news programs.

1963/11/25 an adorable boy steps forward to salute his father passing by recumbent and supine in a casket. that afternoon the family quietly celebrated the boy and his third birthday.

Jackie was a picture of stoic grace at the funeral and till she passed away, 1994/5/19, an icon of american womanhood.

1957/10/4 an actual 3D solid manmade artificial moon took orbit over planet earth. not americans but russians claimed this first victory. the ussr versus the usa til 1969/7/20
when the race to the moon and back was over and the victory clearly went to team usa.

1939/8/2 albert einstein in a letter to FDR warned of Natzi
interest in heavy water and in building an awful weapon.

1941/12/1 through the efforts of men like gill robb wilson a civil air patrol was created.

1941/12/7 japanese attacked the american fleet in pearl harbor hawaii largely because they knew the skies over our mainland were under surveillance by civilians who knew what the japanese and german and american planes looked like.

2001/9/11 americans had grown careless and technology had grown unchecked. software existed that amounted to a fly over of new york city. Cold War suspicion was taken over by our current generation of somewhat naive americans. we
welcomed the arabs who came and spent money in our flight schools. a few of us were uneasy when we had simulator pilots say they had no interest in take offs and landings, only how to fly
once in the air.

our cia and fbi and nsa were great but they were rivals and did not share information gained. so the right hand of our intelligence network did not know what the left hand was doing.

2002/11/27 a committee is charged with finding what americans did wrong leading up to september 11 2001.

thanks to amazon.com birdie99 obtained a copy of their report. a reliable radio spectrum was seen as one
thing missing. ironic that the world trade towers destroyed Radio Row much to the chagrin of merchant Oscar Nadel.

2007/11/24 we dont have tomorrow but we had yesterday.

birdie99 is determined to share with the reader her
authentic identity.

if you have ears you will hear
and if you have eyes you will see and if you have a heart you will care.

margaret valrae lynch was minding her own business being a neo natal nurse at henry ford hospital. henry ford was the equivalent of bill gates or steve jobs of jeff bezos in that he was a highly successful industrialist who was determined to improve the quality of life for his men and women in his employ.

philanthropists spend money on libraries and museums and hospitals and henry ford was a philanthropist. but in 1923 he felt himself responsible for the welfare of one infant in particular.

evangeline cote born in 1893 was thirty years junior to henry ford born in 1863.

evangeline and ray were expecting their first child. in 1923 the process of labor
and delivery was beginning to shift from home births to in hospital births and in hospitals there were nurses on staff.

one such nurse was miss lynch.
known to her close family as marnie and known to the dahlinger family as lynchy. it was her happy task to become the private baby nurse and nanny and governess to john cote dahlinger.

if miss jean valrae crotty had died at age five, then today she would not be writing this answer to the book of john cote dahlinger and frances spatz leighton. The Secret Life of Henry Ford.

i rejoice that i have survived to this minute and obtained access to this forum to say
john cote dahlinger had a son.
bill ford and that son could compare dna to solve the dna based mystery today.

in JFK Kevin Costner plays a man who tells his son to keep diggin til the truth is revealed. miss jean valrae crotty herndon rhone implores bob herndon and randy rhone and ernie barrow and rowena to
find the truth for john cote dahlinger. find the truth for his one son born cerca 1957.

2007/11/23 birdie99 does not make these things happen.

birdie99 just happens to be watching when it does.

David Hoffman has created a masterful DVD out of the book written by prolific writer Paul Dickson.

Sputnik is the star.
