President Obama to Speak to Fiscal Lemmings About Von Pied Piper Plan

President Obama will speak in a few minutes on the problem of the steps the Lemmingway Congress is making to jump off the budgeting edge into the abyss of fiscal doom awaiting herd mind driven mammals without good accounting procedures or budgeting. It should be exciting to find out if the Pied Piper can lead the lemmings to reason.

Why Mitt Romney Lost

The plutocratic Republican challenger in the 2012 Presidential election Mitt Romney lost by two percentage points-one more at 48% than the notorious 47% mentioned behind closed doors. He probably lost the winning margin because of the Republican Party attitude of disdain for global warming theory. Two well-known Republican leaders (Bloomberg & Powell) jumped ship late in the campaign as if chased by the furies and banshees together to the Obama mansion.

Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levine's 1950's style Americana appeal to moral conservatives seems a losing battle with the new Afro-American/Hispanic/Homosexual/Feminist majority able to ride rough-SUV's over the best scrooge appeals they can make to cut back on social welfare safety nets. In the new Alien-led America where global interests and an open (if revolving) door with Mexico seems the norm (some Chinese though Mr. Obama 'cute') provisioning a viable social safety net is simply a Republican challenge that winners will need to support.

President Reagan won his large majorities largely because he accentuated the positive even as a conservative. Americans will vote for positive change rather than cut backs. While they won't vote for repression they will vote for more and better of whatever. The disingenuous austerity advocated by the two millionaires Republican candidates seemed to sound to many like 'let the poor eat dirt', and that's a hard product to sell.

In the new alien America where twitterheads talking abroad seems more valuable to the millionaires at NPR than the real need to provide incentives for corporations and government contractors to hire those out of work longest, and where the Obama administration first term failed to extend the alternative energy tax credit for a decade or let the Bush era tax cuts expire it is obvious that a spoiled middle class without concern for anything besides their own comfort will be difficult to bring back into corporate servitude.

The Democrat middle class elements want to blame the rich for the Congress disingenuously, since the middle class are the majority and if they were themselves competent politically the state of the nation through Congress would work much better. The Congress is the middle class value monstrosity in the flesh.

The new non-white racial electorate majority influence in Presidential elections would need to be brought over to the Republican column now and then not through token leadership and promises to let a few more illegal aliens become voters, but through positive programs that realistically promote the well being of individual citizens and environmental health.

The Democratic Party blundered badly in the first Obama term on environmental issues failing to at all transform the national economy into that of a lower entropy producing, resource depleting composite biosphere life form factor. Perhaps life on Earth is doomed anyway with the airhead policies of the spoiled Federal Government and middle class unable to get beyond their ad hoc planned economy that substitutes inertial corporate consumerism for communes. Instead of letting banks, home owners, investors and Detroit bite the bullet on their business perfidies the dependence on the 'too big to fail' planned economy determined that nothing would change.

The non-white voting block (95% of blacks and 70% of Hispanics) that put another term of an intellectually retired Harvard lawyer back in the White House is as concerned about global warming and mass global disaster as anyone I suppose. They would not be reassured by the Scrooge Limbaughs that the science is all a hoax. Why vote for the rich that say global warming is a hoax and wants the poor to be starved into working for nothing while the rich earn more from their interest in a day that the broke will earn in a lifetime if they actually ever had a job?

Economic planning is requisite for a demographically intensely populated society with limited living space. It is simply a convenient lie to pretend that the sort of unplanned wilderness economic situation of America in the 19th century could work in the U.S.A. today. There are a zillion levels of planned economic support and infrastructure development programs in existence from road and bridge construction to public education, airports and Homeland security. Without recognition of the implicit fact of ossified social structure and its historical inertia as a planned economy it is very difficult to change anything substantively for the good or even to protect free enterprise from the co-option off the main corporate concentrations of wealth that the left so desires to move into at the upper levels through socialist corporatism.

The challenge is to meaningfully comprehend what parameters need to be planned, set or revised to achieve the goals of full employment, environmental recovery and elimination of public debt. Then the government can set free enterprise to go to work to achieve what it can to accomplish those objects.

If an appeal to repress horse flatulence and h.s. in urban areas in 1910 was all that was offered to voters, New Yorkers would still be shoveling thousands of tons of manure. Instead Henry Ford offered a better way, and that is an approach that would still work for Republicans in the future if they are in the future, morally worth voting for as differentiated from the godless, atheist immorality of the Democratic Party

Can the Earth be Used to Filter Salt Out of Saltwater?

With several high, dry deserts on Earth it would be useful if their natural elevation features could be exploited to filter the salt out of seawater piped in to make sweet water. I have no idea if deep Earth filtration would remove the salt from water. Its simply an idea I haven't time to research but wanted to note before moving on.

Experimentation would need to be in a laboratory to learn if salt crystals can be removed from H20 flowing through several miles of various sorts of sub-surface dirt, rock, gravel and etc. One might also want to discover what the optimal sort of water trap would be to consolidate salt for other uses.

Plainly a field test would need to very careful. If Afghanistan had fresh water piped up from the Indian Ocean and simply released salt water to flow downhill into the groundwater of India or Pakistan fouling wells that would be very bad. On the other hand, if the salt was removed early on and fresh water emerged downhill or at least was available to wells in a higher water table that would be good.

One Solution for Japanese-China Island Dispute

The next President will have to deal with the Japan-China Island dispute. Japan traditionally defeated China in offshore naval battles and probably still would do so except for their non-nuclear, self-defense force posture taken up after losing the Second World War. China on the other hand, is swelling with increased wealth and power and desires control of some offshore islands of zero human population hence they harass the Japanese Coast Guard etc.

There is a good non-military solution for this sort of thing. A global ecosphere conservancy should take control of any islands and surrounding ocean-floor land with disputed title and make a no-fishing or commercial use marine recovery sanctuary of them. What happens otherwise is that the human population harvests to death any natural resources and contributes to the decline and death of marine ecosphere species diversity and plenty.

Without numerous marine sanctuaries their is no place for small fish and sea creatures to grow large. If there are sanctuaries then the fishing is better outside those commercial areas.

The next President should instead of just militarily reinforcing our Japanese ally propose that a U.N. ecosphere conservancy be established to bring green peace and social tranquility to hotly contested island possessions.

Much Extra-Galactic Light Quantified by Fermi Gamma Ray Telescope

The Goddard Space Flight Center at N.A.S.A. released data and images illustrating discoveries by the Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope. Gamma ray emissions made in Blazars-vast black holes at the center of large galaxies that emit jets of gamma rays outward as matter drops to the event horizon enable astrophysicists to determine the amount of extra-galactic light emitted over-all by the stars created during the history of the Universe.
Cosmologists believe that photons first escaped a very hot plasma field 300,000 years after inflation and that the first stars formed 400 million years later as gravity collected enough hydrogen together to let fusion occur and some helium to form in the well known fundamental fusion process that is only .007% efficient.

The Fermi Space Telescope observed light attenuated by age and travel that was emitted 9.8 billion years ago. Astronomers calculate from the data that stars average spacing inn the Universe is 4,150 light years apart. Yet it is also known that the matter of the Universe is generally spaced like filaments of a web or lattice filled with vast empty spaces without known matter as the practical consequence of gravitational attraction.

Matter is an interesting thing. Human beings are themselves mostly made of nothingness with vast spacing between the electrons and protons around which the electrons orbit. The orbit of particles such as electrons around a nucleus is created by the appearance of a wave with a frequency oscillating by the attraction of other forces balanced out in tow or more dimensions inward and outward.

Mass jitters at the smallest known scale. The jittering of quantum uncertainty is different from that of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle that is more about the interference of observers in making measurements of sub-atomic particles. Quantum jittering or high-frequency oscillation (I guess) is what what allows motion, or is motion and change in all mass.

The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is concerned with the problems of measuring the location or speed of the wave at a particular location. That makes it seems like a particle when it is probably a wave. A wave that orbits as a line around a nucleus though might well be regarded as a circle or loop however with oscillations or frequency. On the other hand, tracking the history of a particle traveling at the speed of light continuously corrected by attraction of its course inward by the momentum to go in a straighter course outward, if it travels near the speed of light over a short enough distance would make it seem near enough to being a continuous looping wave.

The behavior of gravity at the macro scale warping space-time is comparable to the behavior of orbiting force-protocols of sub-atomic particles I suppose. Because a particle oscillates and seems to be in different locations at different times, time exists. Time is obviously a characteristic of motion and allocation of forces in protocols from small to large and in shape and size from Higgs Bosons unto planets and black holes.
The interesting thing though is that it is the being and nothingness of a universal field that contains all potential space-time and Universes or multi-verses that is the mystery or enigma. For with one appearance of differentiation from God diving being from nothingness or oscillations of force anisotropy the generation of the host of particles, mass and space-time becomes existent.

One certainly wonders about the phenomenon of determinism at the subatomic scale. The wave-particles seem to be force quanta allocated within determined strengths because with more or less increments or power they would annihilate or spin off someplace else. If there were no uncertainty or oscillating jitter in the quantum field nothing at all would happen nor would matter form, yet if it were in any way random neither would anything be likely to exist.

Human thought is entirely determined yet intentional subjective behavior and change is possible as an innate event-process. The elect of God are in conformation with the determinism of the Universe toward His purpose.

Scene 4: Inventing Content for the Hyperbook

 The scene in which a science fiction author designs content for a new book might occur with the traditional paper book morphing into a book with pages that collect photons for recharging, has transparent and flexible blank pages that display content uploaded from implicit storage. The book pages would be as programmable as any video display screen. The reader would buy just a book or two of different sizes per decade and binding might store thousands of titles to fill out the pages as desired.

The programmable book would have the traditional ambiance and full size, lasting display qualities of hard and soft cover paper books without wasting forests. Adobe PDF format ebooks could be a model for content that would fill out pages with traditional pagination (numbers, font, size, paragraphing, illustrations, photos, etc.

In the hyper-book one would never make the error of judging a book by its cover since one would choose the cover for-oneself. The cover would be as programmable as the content of the book. The science fiction writer would liberty for different concerns such as how to represent quantum indeterminacy in three or more dimensions on two-dimensional pages.

E.S.A. Image of Glacial Action in Martian Past

The European Space Agency's Mars Express orbiter is returning some good pictures of Mars. The image below is a computer enhanced synthesis designed to show perspective of mountains and a volcano that were scoured by glaciers in the remote past. I have posted a photo of an Alaska glacier below for comparison.
