Post-Mill Interpretation of the Revelation

It is amazing to consider that so many have misinterpreted the book of Revelation (of John the Disciple of Christ). Tim LaHaye, Hal Lindsey, Pat Robertson of Virginia Beach, Muhammad of Mecca and innumerable lunatics tattooed with the mark of the beast (666) as well as innumerable congregations full of saved evangelicals evidently got it wrong. The analysis and interpretation of literature-historical; prophetic literature, was probably not their strong suit. The first resurrection was that of being spiritually born again in the faith; most of the prophecies in the Revelation were fulfilled during the violent, troubling times experienced by first century Christians going through tribulation and persecution of the Roman Emperor Nero.

The Bible is a beautiful book in the sense of a beautiful mathematics or physics theory that has a wonderful structure. With the Revelation of John correctly interpreted the New Testament gospel of the Lord becomes more beautiful to in its marvelous fulfillment of prophecy and reshaping foundation for the course of mankind. With the spirit of the Acts of the Apostles John's Revelation provides and overview and binding foundation for understanding the continuing work of the Lord and Holy Spirit in human history beyond the sufferings, persecutions, tribulation and destruction of the temple in the first century. An age of the gentiles that would be fulfilled with the evangelization of the peoples of the world. The good news of the Lord could be carried to the people of the future-even unto the farthest reaches of humanity down the road and even into space I would think. Humanity and Christians in particular are not to cower under toadstools waiting for the sky to fall and rapture to remove them from impending Armageddon and the draconian power of the beast (that in a sense inevitably coheres residually within any human collective or government I suppose original sin being what it is).

Life in the temporal realm isn't eternal. There are fundamentally three ways of interpreting the Disciple John's book of the Revelation regarding when the Lord Jesus Christ will return to conclude human affairs and to judge the living quick and the dead that are popular today. This field of Christian theology is incidentally named eschatology.

Pre-mill,post-mill or amill; regardless of your stand I believe a Christian is saved if the Lord is their personal Savior. One should always be ready for the return of the Lord in the Second Coming.

Catholics are I believe generally amillenialists. They regard people that die as going to heaven directly (or hell or purgatory perhaps). Not being Roman Catholic I stipulate that I am not very well informed on the issue. Evangelicals Protestants tend to be premillennialists believing that the Revelation is a prophecy of events to come preponderantly. Post-millennialism is another point of view with the view that the Revelation largely described near term events that occurred in the first century A.D.

It does seem reasonable that John foresaw the future of the Jewish and Roman world and how it would effect Christians within the decade he was living in rather than just events about 2000 years distant. Nero began his persecutions of Christians in 64 a.d. and Christians (saints) went through a tribulation. Gentry goes over the evidence for a first century interpretative paradigm for the Revelation in detail.

If post-millennialism is correct it doesn't mean Christianity is obsolete-instead it confirms it's truth and prophetic accuracy. We are living in the age of the Gentiles. Instead of expect a sudden anti-Christ and Armageddon Christianity should grow and increase human peace, prosperity and knowledge of the Lord (perhaps with a priesthood of believers replacing the hierarchical priesthood). The second coming and final judgment could take an indefinite time even occurring after human settlement of Mars and distant galaxies, its hard to say for sure.

Kenneth Gentry's book 'The Beast of Revelation' identifies the Roman Emperor Nero as the particular beast referred to in John's book of the Revelation. Besides Nero as the particular person of the beast the Roman Empire is said to be the general actualization of the beast. I think that Gentry's analysis is quite convincing.

This is an informal commentary interacting with the ideas of Gentry's book written for my course on eschatology. The commentary is supposed to run to thirty pages and that seems quite a lot to write for a a non-expert in the field. Rather than providing a back-seat driving analysis of Gentry's ideas I'll try to adumbrate points of view that are relevant to the issue of Biblical eschatology and end times inspired by Gentry's analysis of the Revelation.

The Revelation may be viewed as a history book as well as a book of prophecy. That fact has implications for how one interprets its content. History books generally are written after the fact while prophecies are written before. If one is a secularist it might be a priori challenging to accept a date for the composition of the revelation before the events described within it as prophecy. Instead of an early date at or before the first year of Nero's reign e.g. 63 a.d. the option of accepting the credibility of the later date of 95 a.d. might be preferred with a certain neo-realistic bias.

It is difficult to say what reason John could have had for composing the events of the book of Revelation after the events described within it, although one might offer the point of view such as premillenialists have that the events described do not pertain to the first century events at all, or perhaps have a dual-purpose meaning of events then and in the future.

Some have pointed out that the churches and Christians of the time might have found John's prophecy somewhat superfluous if they did not relate to the pressing issues of the time such as the Neronic persecutions and martyrdoms of Christians by Nero or immanent dangers to Jerusalem by the Roman Army. John might have found events of the first century a kind of coincidental template for describing future events-yet if so he would have needed to view the near-term events prophetically as well as the distant future events in order to note their similarities and congruence of format. Yet it might have been the angels that provided the right coincidental data in order to make John's Revelation insights of prophecy useful to Christians then and now. Historians with an entirely secular viewpoint would dismiss that possibility as irrelevant. I would imagine that it is easier for Christian theologians to accept a Revelation prophetic paradigm that was immediately relevant to first century Christians rather than a later date that requires a more convoluted explanation. If John's Revelation was written before the events that were rather near-term with such accuracy it would be difficult not to accept the fact that it was genuine prophecy rather than coincidence or dead-reckoning political analysis of the highest quality and accuracy.

Political predictions of future events of from one to 17 years distant generally involving the highest levels of an imperial government and the existence of the Jewish nation were just not easy in the first century. Few think tanks had such access to the highest levels of the Roman Government, or would have if such had existed. There were additional accurate predictions regarding the success and growth rate of the Christian faith would have been unlikely in the first century. The Delphic Oracle did not provide such accuracy.

I have looked ahead to Gentry's other book 'He Shall Have Dominion' and learned a More of Gentry's agenda. The present work seems to be the opening Movement of a grand post-Millennial symphony of eschatology. After checking out that post-Millennial symphony I must say that I like its sound. The interpretation has the beauty of the General Theory of Relativity or Wegener's Theory of Plate Tectonics and continental drift to explain why the shoreline littorals of West Africa and Eastern South America seem to match up with a yin-yang aspect.

Natural philosophies such as continental drift, Buddhism,Taoism and evolution are in some respects compatible with Christianity yet are fundamentally irrelevant. Christianity is More like supernatural philosophy revealed by God. I ought to note that the 6^th heresy of Buddhism is belief in God. I believe that is an historical anachronism originating in an era when all of the nations of the world besides Israel were pagan. The Buddha hadn't a supernatural revelation and instead adumbrated a Natural philosophy somewhat like the Universe is a holograph produced by higher dimensions and hence illusory. Keeping his focus on the natural belief in God was proscribed. A Modern scientific Buddhist Might be able to acknowledge that if a superior civilization of the future or from higher dimensions could create particle entanglement or an Event horizon with an apparent Universe sheltering sentient beings in it, why not God?

Alternatively the evidence Gentry presents though convincing reminds me of the televised O.J. Simpson trial were using basically the same evidence two different camps presented two different versions of what occurred. That is a routine occurrence in criminal and civil trials in a democratic society with an adversarial legal system. A juror would need to examine each point of view and decide for themselves what if anything is true.

In the case of cosmology theories there are numerous conflicting as well as complementary points of view about given physical phenomena used as evidence to support a given trendy hypothesis. These days theories of everything that were popular in the 70s and 80s seem to have fallen out of fashion as the frontiers of cosmology through astrophysics and theory roll back the frontiers of the observable and the possible. In some respects like Socrates who decided that he knew that he knew nothing-a kind of precursor antipode of Descartes' cogito ergo sum-cosmological theorists realize that they likely will never have absolute certainty about physical reality that may be embedded in higher dimensions and just one of an infinite number of Universes or how it could be sustained by superior civilizations or God. A certain measure of faith is required to select a given theory as the best of all available models knowing that it is incomplete and something of a process philosophy or process cosmology of a temporary nature likely to be surpassed. Christians too must select the better interpretation of the Revelation available knowing that it may be only partly accurate hopefully to a large extent.

The Apostle John was a prisoner for a time on an island near Ephesus. It is believed that he wrote the Revelation while at that island. At least he received the Revelation while at the isle of Patmos although perhaps he had scribes write it down after release or possible before release via intermediaries. That is rather difficult to say at this point in time. Julius Caesar had a lieutenant write the second half of his book on the Roman Civil war and the Spanish war yet the exact details of the composition for even such a famous figure are rather or entirely vague today and so it may be for John and his school of followers at Ephesus.

When John wrote the Revelation is a subject of more contention among scholars. There are early and late dates two of which seem possible. There are other dates speculating that John did not actually write the book at all but followers did later in the second century that I will dismiss. Irenaeus and others commented on the Revelation as early as the early second century at that supports the idea of an earlier writing construction. Of course there are more scholarly points available to support the first century construction of the Revelation. I will not cite those points in this paper presently. Berkhof's 'Introduction to the New Testament' has a chapter on John that points out elements of the time and place of composition fir example.

Personally I prefer the early construction date that Gentry advocates too rather than the later circa 95 a.d. composition paradigm. I would think that Peter and John would have been young men-perhaps 20 or so when Jesus introduced himself around 30 a.d. for the momentous three year mission, and John in the year 60 a.d. would have been 50 years old-quite a ripe time for writing a creative, challenging, prophetic book like the revelation. Thirty-five years later in 95 a.d. John would have been 85 more or less and found the production of such a work more challenging I would think. His intellectual energy might not have been as great as at age 50 either.

A baptist minister once told me that John's Revelation was like a newspaper in its day. Gentry believes the messages are coded necessarily because of the element of actual persecution by the Imperial Roman authorities. Like today in the U.S.A. there can be immediate repercussions for calling a state governor or the President the anti-Christ in print-though for Jews and other first-century Christians the act of seeming to rebel against Nero brought more severe retribution.

The Apostle John must have known the ecclesiastical state of affairs of the church in relation to the Roman imperial opinion rather well. The Apostle Paul had been imprisoned and released before a second arrest and Peter had moved to Rome and experienced the problems encountered by Christians from Jewish and Roman persecution first-hand. John moved to Ephesus from Judea at some point before the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 a.d. and may have encountered immediate difficulties from Jewish and pagan authorities. Nero and preceding Roman emperors of the Julian line were worshiped as god's by state decree. The Lord Jesus Christ's appearance as the actual Son of God contravened that silly, superfluous and vain direction emulated today a little by the very rich and broadcast media and select performance artists that would like to erase the presence of the real God from the minds of humanity with atheist propaganda and elevate themselves to a position of practical socially empowered deification. The Roman state and Jews seeking to suppress Christian church increase may have sought to imprison or execute John immediately upon his arrival in Ephesus.

Thus it is reasonable to suppose that John reaching Ephesus and starting the process of edification of his fellow Christians and recoding his ideas with scribal help along with missiological activity perhaps with additional letters to churches and meetings with Christians may have simultaneously experienced an increasing effort to repress his ministry of the word of God and the evangelization of Eurasia with the good new of Jesus Christ. Eventually that surge to repress the word of God provided through the ministry of the Apostle John enhanced with the three and a half year Neronic persecuction of Christians in the 7^th decade of the first century would have developed to such a point as to send the Apostle into prison exile at Patmos.

Gentry's thesis on the Revelation is basically partial preterism. Many of the events written of in the Revelation have already occurred. I am taking much time reading Gentry's book because it cold in an unheated Alaskan hut and there aren't power lines or a road in to town with a difficult trail through forest and slippery logging slash and a four mile walk on a non-maintained sometimes snow-covered access road to a town and a library where I can recharge batteries for reading and writing (the alpha smart works well to conserve battery power for writing in sub-freezing temperatures).

I believe that John may have left Judea as early as the 50s and become well established in Ephesus before the 60s. One might wonder when or why Peter left Jerusalem where he led the church. He journeyed to Rome eventually. The Lord's brother James was thrown from the Temple Mount and martyred. Though not fleeing martyrdom at some point peter may have found Rome a better place to organize and increase the development of the mission of spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ. Like John Peter may have sensed the coming destruction of Jerusalem by Roman authority. Caiaphas the head of the Jewish religious authority that sought the execution of Jesus mentioned the sacrifice of the Lord as being better than sacrificing the entire nation to the imperial authority. A rival king-even with a kingdom not of this world was too much of a vulnerability as a potential avenue Rome might rubblize Jerusalem for the religious high command to tolerate.

Gentry considers in some detail the issue of the role and presence of Christians that were Jews attending synagogue in Jerusalem in order to date the composition of the Revelation that has a certain Hebraic tone to it that seemed to disappear after the destruction of Jerusalem. It is important to Gentry's position that the Revelation was written prior to the destruction of the temple in a.d. 70. It is notable that many today still wonder about the role of Jews in the present and future or who the real Jews are. The Revelation and the epistles of Paul each address that point at least in a context that is appropriate for the more specific character of a post-mill paradigm for the writing of the Revelation.

Jesus of course said that he would have gathered the Jews and tended them as well as a mother hen tends her chicks yet realized that they were not to be saved by the Lord and would instead be destroyed eventually by the Roman authority. Well, it would have been nice to take the Jewish Mosaic established temple priesthood into the era of the New Covenant with the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Lord was spiritually willing than none be lost yet it was not meant to be.

God doesn't like divorce and wouldn't do that Himself. I prefer the better presentation that God has evolved the relationship to include Jews and Christians of faith as the bride of Christ. The Jews were the necessary ground for growth or emergence of the Christian church in a secondary kind of way after Christ of course. They would not just be jettisoned as soon as they gave birth to Christianity like a spent baby mama so the new chick could hop in the sack.

Paul (Romans 2:17-29) and John (i.e. Revelation 7:4-8) speak of Christians as the spiritually true Jews. Instead of a purely material, racial Jewish identity were Christians. The Lord once replied to a statement that his mother and brothers were waiting outside to him asked 'who are my mother and brothers' rhetorically. He explained that those who new him as savior and followed him are his mother and brothers.

Jesus wanted to save Jerusalem yet as they were a religious-led national Israel failing to adapt to the presence of the Lord and straying too far from the heart of God with formalism and legalism the correction given was to evolve beyond legalism to personalism and personal relationship to God as The Son of Man whom everyone could know personally. That wasn't a divorce; it was a consummation spiritually speaking of the relationship between mankind and God. It was always probably necessary for God to include all of humanity in the realm of His personal acquaintance through the Lord Jesus Christ-not simply via the introductory period of Jews in a nation following His laws amidst a planet full of pagan lunatics and killers in hot pursuit of capital.

As one of the reasons given in support of a first century context for interpreting the Revelation Gentry gives the information that the futurist, dispensationalist way of interpreting the Revelation creates a persistent Christian despair about the present accompanied by a rationalization that this world is doomed and given over to the deus a machina of wickedness under the dark powers of Evil and that Christians can look forward to the rapture taking them out of the society of despond.. Of course one does not require a Christian eschatology that interprets the Revelation within a dispensationalist, futurist paradigm in order to have a pessimistic outlook on world events and life in general. In fact atheists continuously cite the evil and wickedness in the world as reasons against the existence of God. For many atheists any possible Universe created by God must be as Sugar Mountain with barkers and colored balloons but no sort of accidens (not to misuse that Aristotelian term but the error works rather well in this context).

R.A. Torrey was a dispensationalist and well-meaning Christian writer. Gentry is another and thus it seems evident that it is possible to have different ideas about what the book of Revelation means and when it was written. I believe that the fact that there are consequences to taking one of the two positions mentioned here are significant though.

Gentry thinks that Christians with a gloomy dispensationalist viewpoint awaiting a skyhook from Jesus to extract them out of the turmoils and persecutions of the world become socially indolent or disengaged from social constructive actions to a certain extent. That is they fail to live up to their potential and responsibilities as citizens of a democracy making improvements to the world. One wonders what the position of the Puritans was on dispensationalism and futurism versus convenantalism and preterism?

Apparently the realistic immanentalism of John's prophecies written to the churches of the day (the seven churches and other Christians in the Revelation was lost to those living past the time of the destruction of the Temple at Jerusalem and slaughter by a Roman legion of as many as half a million Jewish inhabitants of Jerusalem circa 70 a.d.. That is by the second century the real context for interpretation of the Revelation was lost preponderantly. Maybe Martin Luther's observation that the Revelation 'had a lot of straw' (as in too much for making good bricks) was a sort of accurate insight in regard to making the Revelation a futurist book out of a prophecy largely intended, or immediately purposed to warn and correct, exhort, comfort and explain to very challenging Christians soon to undergo extreme persecutions what their status was and what the outcome would be. Even so the Revelation does not implicitly exclude within Gentry's paradigm a dual-purpose futurist paradigm of inaugurated eschatology. There is difficulty in making certain uncertain terms with uncertain contexts of initial use.

Mohammedan eschatology seems founded in a futurist sort of misunderstanding of the Revelation. Mohammad's father had been keeper of the Spirit House-Kaaba-at Mecca with its vast assembly representing pagan religions. When he was made an orphan and cast out of the good graces of the pagan shrine in time he developed a revolutionary syncretistic monotheism to take back his heritage and of course make the Kaaba a shrine for one God with Mohammad as his exclusive prophet. Mohammad must have surveyed the available religious material as best as he could from Jewish and Christian sources and with the help of his older wife hashed out a revolutionary personal monotheism different enough that it could not be construed as representing the oppressive Byzantine Orthodox variety of Christianity that had dominated much of the ancient world in the day as a theocratic device. For Mohammad the Revelation was futurist and the Jews were Christ killers as they were to many of those of the dark and middle ages in Europe. Thus in Mohammedan eschatology Jesus will return to wreak vengeance upon the Jews and Muslims will help in a Holy Jihad against Jews comprising Armageddon. It is interesting how wrong interpretation of literature can have lasting consequences.

Jesus didn't hold a grudge against the Jews not only because he was himself Jewish-although Bobby Fischer seemed to hate the Jews though his mother was evidently a full bloodied tribal Jew. Jesus advocated forgiveness-even seven times seventy times forgiveness and is an improbable choice to portray as returning to wreak vengeance on the Jews. At the last judgment in fact all that one needs to do to be saved is to have had faith in Jesus as Lord and to accept his grace and atonement for one's sin. Then a kind of default choice lets a de facto self-judgment by the lost correct the lost with eternal punishment. Since Jesus is the only way-the soul bridge to God and eternal life with the Lord, any other course leaves one in the wilderness of perdition and doom in any possible Universe-a tough choice to make.

Gentry's book seems to focus very much on the identity of the beast and providing support for a first century interpretation of the Revelation. That's fine yet it is a little limiting on vision for what the Revelation is an means to post-temple era Christians.

Some Christians have a natural antipathy toward a partial preterist interpretation of the Revelation inasmuch as accepting its veracity would tend to indicate that even though the prophecy was 100% accurate more or less, its fulfillment means that a greater error occurred in Christian teleology/prophecy such that though everything else happened Jesus Christ didn't return and thus the prophecy of the Lord were falsified. Such a logically unnecessary proposition depends on interpreting John's writing in such a way that the meaning of the return and 'coming in the clouds' have particular meaning-values too. On the latter point Gentry provides evidence for supporting a meaning of 'coming in the clouds' within a Biblical context as meaning a time of social uncertainty when God intervenes to change things. I think it likely that the use of modern definitions for ancient ideas have sometimes made inaccuracy in understanding by Biblical interpreters occur. Gentry points out there are five meanings of the Greek word he or 'ge' used in the Revelation 80 times and two used prevalently means 'land' interchangeably with 'Earth'. That has implications for the interpretation of certain cosmological inferences and construction of interpretive paradigms for cosmology by modern expositors.

Even so it is incumbent upon interpreters of the Revelation to sort through and determine what elements of the book might have futurist relevance post-Temple destruction and to the present and/or future.

Seemingly the seven hills of Rome representing the generic rather than particularization of the beast could represent worldly government in general in a sort of City of God versus City of Man context. Humanity seems to pursue a developed social abstraction of a generalized human being as a kind of social goal. In the U.S.A. under the corrupting sway of an anti-democracy elitist broadcast media owned by a corporate plutocratic invisible empire the pragmatic ideal of a brainwashed mass-man without anti-corporatist or individual private interests seems to be the actualization in reduced form of the political goal of Thomas Hobbes philosophical treatise on the ideal (British) government of the absolute dictator personifying the will of the people. I suppose the idea of Nero and Rome as the beast of Revelation might be the first formal expression of that ideal evil empire in writing, although some might regard Plato's Republic and its triumvirate of philosopher-kings as a fascist precursor of the Great Satan mirroring the condition of the abstract will of the people that the people are in return conditioned to be (at the will of the dictator. The late dictator Saddam Hussein was a more recent example of the form as are/is the string of post-second world war North Korean Communist dictators).

Karl Barth in his 'History of Christian Thought' noted what the philosopher Ortega y Gasset later described as 'the revolt of the masses' against elite rule in Europe. Barth was applying the concept to an earlier period of transition leading to the French Revolution wherein the ordinary became rulers inverting the concept of elite rule. Karl Marx of course envisioned the concept of the dictatorship of the proletariat. In fact in modern America within the paradigm of atheist led scientism with anti-Christian values and even creeping purges of Christianity from the U.S.A. along with national economic sovereignty the modern media is a mooning colony conditioner of mass social identity toward the revolutionary transition of Hobbes' all in one absolute dictator to one Satanic presence in all subjects rather than citizens). It is believed I would think that off-market economic interests have antipathetic potential toward the collective financial networks of globalism in which all must play or be marginalized. The house always wins in Las Vegas and the same situation prevails with preferred networks of concentrated wealth and power.

If John's Revelation was fulfilled entirely in it's day of the first century with the Neronic persecutions and the following destruction of the Temple it is important not to dismiss the book capriciously from future meaning or lasting examples of human conduct and ways of being that can be learned and avoided or corrected.

Just as one ought to learn the ethics of the Lord it is worth drawing additional inferences from the life and times of the Lord and Apostles about things not to do such as stoning adulterers or crucifying persons critical of government incompetence and the corruption of politicians and other officials of interest.

It could be that I should have taken an aphoristic structural approach in this paper being rather inexpert on the primary subject. 

On Using Heroin for Government Death Chambers

Death chambers of execution could be more humane and hospice-like.

It is somewhat remarkable that modern science filtered through politics bungles the chemistry of executing the death penalty. European chemical supply houses and other exotic sources of hard-to-find humane methods of killing killers sometimes embargo the lethal chemical cocktails from American legal death franchise establishments because of the cruelty of it all. NPR reports the 'story' and moves on to legal drugs, homosexual marriage and other pressing issues of the left side of corporatism. So why not use the abundant heroin seized from criminals by law enforcement agencies to overdose those graduating from death row in a humane blaze of pain killing to oblivion?

If the death penalty must be forced upon select subjects wouldn't heroin mists, heroin food, heroin cocktails and heroin injections end the life of the victim of law happily more or less fading out them to a state of nirvana and nothingness? Heroin could then serve at least one useful purpose and save money on buying stupid drug potions from Europe. Otherwise the government could use a little bit of VX or some other nerve agent to swiftly terminate the problem and end the suffering of citizens encountering the never-ending recurrence of government incompetence.

D.C. Redskins Should Morph to First People

It seems unreasonable to expect much of R.G. III with the Redskins. If that politically incorrect name were to be changed to First People the team might get somewhere; though with a rookie coach it's improbable.

Few rookie coaches have won a Superbowl. Perhaps the First People could trade R.G. III to Oakland who can't draft a good Q.B. anyway and then try to to build up a pervasively tough team the Joe Gibbs way. Oakland could use some Al Davis spirit. Maybe R.G. III has it.

Inventive Parameters for a Motorless Dive Pump

Setting parameters for a useful invention is fairly simple when it concerns something as practical as a human powered air compressor to pump air supply to a diver in the water at the end of a 20' hose. Already existing are innumerable air pumps such as used for bicycles. There are gas an electric motor powered air pumps for divers on a short hose already, and that may have precluded the will to produce a human-powered pump (a companion to the diver on the boat would create the air supply for the diver) for divers in impoverished nations or those interested in avoiding contribution to global warming greenhouse gases superfluously.

There are some parameters for the motorless diver's air compressor that might be helpful. The hose like that of an inflatable boat valve should have a one-way gasket that admits air but won't let it backslide out. The hose might also have a pressure regulator at some point that would bleed off excess air so the diver has a constant air pressure. Additionally there might be some sort of 5 minute reserve bottle in the system sometimes that would also signal the diver in some way-perhaps with a chime, if the air supply decreased to one-minute remaining in order to give the diver time tio surface though he or she could free swim to the surface from 20'.

Epistemology Values in Modeling Natural Operating Systems

The value and role of the philosophical field of epistemology in interpreting, modeling and analyzing cognitive paradigms is a primary activity of education historically. That is epistemology or theory of knowledge began at least as early as Plato and his Academy and continued through classical education unto the present day. Epistemology casts a wide net on the discipline of understanding reality and comparative economic systems and they way they are understood. Some cosmologists today compare reality to a hologram cast by higher dimensions-perhaps upon the surface of a black hole and dark, mysterious pools of capital flowing around the world globally at the speed of light create theoretical paradoxes for taxation and governance. In order not to remain simple primitives without benefit of a wild ecosystem to learn and adapt in modern man must take a philosophical high ground to comprehend the interactions and essence of innumerable operating systems functions.

Cognitive and flow-of-thought methods of sentient systems serve to design synthetic operating systems such as are useful in computers. A purely materialistic approach to developing an artificial operating system would alternatively be irrational.

There is a well known example of the functional of a materialistic operating system bias in a chess game between Paul Kerr and Bobby Fischer. Kerr is offered a pawn in a kind of gambit. Materialistic chess players want that extra pawn or piece immediately when it is available, yet taking the piece and not considering abstract tactics may soon place the materialist into a losing position. Like the canary following a trail of bread crumbs to a position below a ball-peen hammer the checkmate knock out punch may soon be reached as the blinding materialist epistemology reaches fruition.

Epistemological analysis or theory of knowledge analysis is a field of philosophy studying the foundational relationships of knower and known, truth values in regard to knowledge and the way reality is perceived and interpreted by subjective perception and thought. It is a particular point-of-view approach to constructing a theoretical position drawing from a number of philosophical field approaches to the basic questions about human existence in what seems to be a Universe on a planet with what New Testament users of Greek might call ge, meaning land (or Earth) as well as water.

Contemporary physics have informed us of the subtle and complex composition of fields particles waves and quanta that support the appearance of forms and external structures perceptible to human beings and then interpreted with mind and theories of knowledge. researches in the classification of perceptible forms as particulars in a field perhaps temporally emphasized in a given shape and mass configuration have shown the importance of classification systems as epistemological filters and universes-in-themselves...linguistic ontologies as W.V.O. Quine might have called them, that are for-themselves interpretive paradigms and selective templates for constructing different theoretical models of given aspects of realty.

Systematic theology is an example of a particular field that selects specialized paradigmatic tools and templates to construct or induct hypothetically accurate understanding of Biblical meaning_values. Cognitive interpretive tools of epistemology are ubiquitous methodological practices in numerous intellectual activities. Contemporary designs and management of single and concurrently installed operating systems and selection of what element of reality to perceive and the way the data should be processed comprise filters in_themselves to improve the overall project of accurate epistemological values.

N.A.S.A., 3D Printers, Drones, Inventions etc.

It is difficult to guess how far 3-D printing will change manufacturing. A Wal-Mart or ABC Corp might locate a 3-D printer at a remote location in Alaska and a consumer could go on-line to buy a product that would instantly be produced without need for transport delays. There might be a lot of jobs converting products into 3-D printable designs. Even N.A.S.A. could get in the business of locating 3-D printers on space stations, Mars and the Moon to print out useful tools and components, rovers and solar panels without need of shipping from Earth.

One might expect designers to build 3-D printers that can make 3-D printers. Radical manufacturing and production economic relocations could follow development of 3-D printers cutting global transport costs and fossil fuel pollution in the atmosphere. yet all is not peaches and creme with tech innovation obviously. Killing humans and drugging them is still profitable and will probably remain so for government and business. Remora drones with stealth and high-tech stickiness able to attach to international shipping and aircraft to piggyback to destinations such as Boston release after arrival in port of call and fly or swim themselves to contraband operators may arise to let billionaire narco-traffickers and nuke weapons providers bring their products to consumers/aka soft targets. The potential for inventive adaptations and synthetic recombinations of existing technology always exists below the surface of thought. How will concentrated wealth security protect the rich and royals from nuclear and biological weapons proliferation and attack in a global economy with advanced, disseminated chippiness? Why one might wonder, should anyone care if affordable health care denies double-sized portion of French potato fries or China rice fries?

There is a good side and a down side to all the global computer chippiness. Adolph Eichmann used I.B.M. Holereth card-countin computers to finesse the transport and liquidation of Jews in the second act of world war one named logically World War Two ( uncompleted with the failure to battle to unconditional surrender of the kaiser or the better choice to not intervene to rescue the British colonial evil empire to start with), China bought I.B.M.’s PC division and the Red Army affiliate eventually to makes pretty good Lenovo computers for consumers after Bill Gate’s use for the exclusive sale of software for I.B.M. PCs had run its course-there isn’t much good in that perhaps-and none of course with the numbering and elimination of ethnic minorities yet the inertia of business and inherited technology flows on like an amoeba evolving though consuming some peripheral humans (in Nepal?).

The first idea though is more conventional and exploits just ordinary electronics; namely the use of new forms of dehumidifier to capture water for drinking aboard boats and along dry coastal areas. Desalinating pumps trend to be expensive yet there is a lot of dehumidifying tech that might be adapted to sequester water taken from the atmosphere-perhaps solar powered.

Another idea is the use of micro-tech for tiny biochemical chips and perhaps rft tech to monitor major organ functions in the human body. Why not inject a very tiny prostate health monitoring chips where it can broadcast the chemical status or presence of cancer cells to a computer equipped with a bluetooth-like wireless receiver of data. There are already ubiquitous rft chips and receivers around the U.S.A. as has been reported. Every individual computer could be made into a health monitoring device with instant alerts of changes in body chemistry, temperature or heart performance that require attention.

If one thinks about it there should be numerous alternate approaches to traditional surgical remedies for medical issues with new micro technology and localized artificial intelligence servo-units. Billions of people including the world’s poor might received nearly no cost core medical screening with implanted microscopic health monitors given the right configuration of mass density size shape temperature through-put and biochemical ratios, transmission capability of data and ubiquitous interpretive programs reduced to a non-invasive size and form.

One day the Internet may disappear and become transcended by Quantum computing and quantum information teleportation of a scale with no limits to anyone’s band-width or transmission capability. Quantitative information transmission would be instantaneous world-wide and on-line chess games would be fair with no disadvantage to a player in a state with low Internet speed compared to a fast data speed nation. One can look ahead a little and foresee the possibilities for good chess games.

It isn’t difficult to imagine quantum-cloud based medical monitoring of all humans and most life forms one day. Of course it would be easier for covenant-based Christians to adapt to that advancing technology than dispensational premillenialists I would think, while Muslims might still be looking for some way to jihad it all. Godless atheists could seeking to corner the market and restrict transmission speed and access in order that a hierarchy of wealth and domination of power might continue for evil elites. Even so the possibilities are endless and beyond social amoebazation of any sort that butches without borders neo-scientific fascists might pursue. After all, corruption exists and existed without need of advanced technology though it inevitably seeks to exploit new tech for nefarious purposes.

Cheap computer chips mean and potential room temperature superconductors could revolutionize military strategies. Vast clouds of anti-body Frisbee sized anti-personnel drones with military explosive could solar or super-conductor battery charge and recharge with fuel cells to lie hidden below desert sands or in forest canopies waiting for human soldiers to recognize with artificial intelligence and attack. One wonders if being human in combat would become obsolete, or if anyone would be safe any place from a swarm of flying anti-body stealth mini-drones.

Civilian control of military attack anti-bodies would be more ethically challenging. Civilian political leaders and economic puppet masters should not just kill soft targets in poor countries instead of finding alternative and ecologically rational means of adjudicating political disputes that stimulate armed conflict. The obligation is upon the advantaged to find a way to bring equal protection of law to even the poor that do not understand it nor have an advantage in the economic and legal exploitation of the disadvantaged.

One would think that production facilities for manufacture of fairly low-tech military drones would be an advantage to nations such as China that already have the largest human standing armies that may become very vulnerable to cheaper-than-a-soldier anti-body war drones in a plethora of forms. One hopes the Chinese become more Christian and do not move toward the ethically dark side of the force.

One might take small comfort with the knowledge that Muslim ideas about the apocalypse and Armageddon-eschatological ideas are similar to a Christian premillennial futurist’s paradigm for interpreting the Revelation of St. John. There are other possible interpretations of the general meaning of the Revelation of John such as a praetererist covenant based paradigm wherein the beast was Nero in particular and Rome in general. Some take that as a foundation for inaugurated eschatology with a approach wherein Johns writing in a coded way to the churches and Christians of his era being persecuted also has some not yet realized futurist meaning too. Even so by the middle of the 2ns century, much less the 6th, most Christians had lost the original historical context-meaning of the Revelation according to some scholars, and of course Muhammad’s expropriation of the Revelation was made with an entirely futurist and very likely erroneous understanding of the meaning of the Revelation of John serving as a creative basis of Muhammad’s personal eschatological vision. Maybe the Muhammadans will eventual take a different view of the Revelation of John and correct Muhammad’s eschatological errors though I think it improbable. One can’t be sure that military drones demanding allegiant kow-towing to a statue of a clone-being in a reconstructed Temple at Jerusalem and a brand of Nero or 666 on everyone’s wrist to swipe over a check out counter is inevitable, or Jihad upon Jews at Jerusalem either for that matter.

There seems to be a trend in recent decades toward military attack of soft, defenseless targets directed by politico planners. Terrorism and war as politics through other means finds fewer peer wars and more dump death and havoc upon the less powerful even with apologetics from a propaganda media branch explaining the defensive nature of the event. Chippiness with designer drones may stimulate the appearance of adaptive optics camouflaging anti-bodies flying to and fastening upon tall office buildings or the soft underbelly of a ship waiting for an optimal moment to emerge from dormancy and fulfill their destined destruction. A profusion of very cheap flying anti-boy mines with face recognition cameras and artificial intelligence could even bring about personalized battle with anti-body flying mines searching for particular personnel to erase from the list of biological viable forms. Even the criteria for determining what a soft target is may become inversed.

Yek the potential good of anti-suffering attack drones to deliver plates of food and other relief supplies to difficult to access targets of mercy is self-evident. Burritos and tea delivered on site through a storm of bullets with hot sauce could rescue those deemed soft targets for others from the savage works of the wicked yearning to deny the equal protection of law and procure consolidation of wealth topped with concentration of wealth for-themselves. The usual strange world may become stranger making it seem at times as if extraterrestrial puppeteers were pulling the strings of pivotal politicians and the butch broadcast media. Maybe they do now and then; they seem to act some times as if the main purpose of life is for humans to filter auto exhaust with lungs, destroy forests, kill all wild life and melt away every glacier.

G.O.P. Wins-Time for Shovel-Ready Jobs Securing Mex Border

Mexico's internal criminal turmoil is largely a result of the existence of a porous border with the more-prosperous for the present nation to the north-the United States. The vast criminal underworld that flourishes on both sides of the border is fueled by drugs and human smuggling in turn fueling political corruption, civil disorder and the failure of security for Mexicans and Americans alike. The need to close the Mexican border to any unauthorized immigration is plain; only in a secure environment can democracy be on an equal footing with organized crime and the killers causing more fatalities than America experienced in the Vietnam war. If on an equal footing democracy, law and order main gain ground taking the city on a hill that is the nation's capital and those toward the U.S. border back from the drug traffickers and corrupt politicians making mockery of justice, equal protection of the law and the opportunity for a secure investment environment.

Human intelligence requires fluid adaptivity to civil challenges that subvert social order and progress. The Republican Party having retaken the legislative branch of government have a clear and present obligation to seal the Mexican border with a physical boundary impassable to casual or determined law breakers. There are numerous ways that would create jobs and a better economy including elements of traditional boundaries such as the Romans and Welsh built to keep the barbarians at bay-in this case the barbarians are the savage drug traffickers and human smugglers as well as those taking jobs from Americans and subverting labor wage relations with management regarding labor supply and the value of labor. The President has been entirely spaced on the issue and promises unilateral action like King Canute to flood America with legal illegals whensoever he deems it desirable to get Hispanic votes.

Creating a Gulf to Gulf canal that would be used to desalinate salt water piped in to the continental divide and collect the evaporated fresh water in adjacent canals with water dripping down from a condenser-roof would make a vast supply of fresh water in a desert for drinking and irrigation as well as create a substantial barrier to illegal crossings with three canals and control roads and berms patrolled by electric vehicles. Jobs building the zone as well as maintaining it would be numerous. With water shortages in Arizona, California, New Mexico and Texas a new fresh water source would be useful. Water siphoned and pumped perhaps with augmented power from solar panels would bring water from the higher Pacific Oceans and spill it downhill from Deming New Mexico toward the Colorado River and trans-American canal and Rio Grande respectively with a detour in Texas to cut along the border.

The value of allowing honest work and honest history to replace the corrupt milieu of underworld kitsch def facto dominating two economies in the region would be an American value that has grown a little rusty in recent decades, The President should support the effort instead of obstructing it. Shovel-ready jobs across the S.W. are needed right away-for Americans.

England Returning to Traditional Evil-Empire Role

England has resumed its traditional role as an evil empire repressing democracy and stifling religious liberty. We had suspected that English leadership wished to find a practical new way to burn down Washington D.C. again, the method seems to be with forced aristocratic butch homosexuality. Elton John's 'Burn Down the Mission' song lyric expresses the new evil empire's insider financial, social, religious takeover ideal of redistributing wealth and power to the corrupt evil empire. It is insidious social wickedness.

http://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2014/2374/pdfs/uksi_20142374_en.pdf

England has made a farce of democracy, free speech and religious liberty disordering law to promote 'British' values homosexual marriage and godless, atheistic social scientism. England will force closure of schools that teach the truth of homosexuality is sin. Britain's evil empire aristocrats have emerged in drag dressing up as bimbos of anti-Christ and decivilizers of civil rights of democracy and free speech. In land-grabbing England democracy is tolerated only so long as one does not dissent with the will of corrupt and queer aristocrats seeking to devour Russian Eastern Ukraine , compel queer marriage laws in the U.S.A. through Rhodes scholars and their suckophants and rule the world via corrupt financial networking.

The New British Evil Empire sucks bad and Barrack Hussein Obama is no correction of the threat.

Infinity is a difficult concept to grasp. The planet Earth at the edge of a little galaxy within a local group of galaxies within a super cluster within a super-cluster of galaxies in one little tendril of mass-energy in a grid across the visible Universe with vast blank spaces amidst is a phenomenal place of space-time where human souls (means the complete compresent history of an individual life mapped by God as if it were like unto a digital story) can exist. There are innumerable wrong philosophical conclusions to draw and implications to make with the human discoveries of knowledge about the Universe in relation to the revealed knowledge given in the Holy Bible. Rash, swollen hubris is too common. Misunderstanding of the Bible is common too. Space-time values are also misunderstood in physics as relativity and transcending factors of metaphysics make certain of comparative time values improbable. If relativity is basically true then time literals of the Bible are relative to God as well whom is the absolute creator of all time, mass and energy though it functions well and independently locally. One cannot be certain where to draw the line between one time-reference system and another in this Universe or any others.

The entire Universe may be like a postage stamp in size surrounded by an infinity of nothingness capable of holding an infinite number of postage stamps. It is a mysterious and wonderful thing of which humanity can know only a part through a glass darkly.

The Lord Jesus Christ provided certain moral and ethical guidelines for the liberation of humanity from the bondage to sin and evil aristocratic rulers making themselves god. Nero had Peter and Paul executed. Tiberius presided over the execution of Jesus Christ. The entire Roman imperial line of descended from Julius Caesar unto the last-Nero-were made living gods and worshiped in Rome and around the empire. Jesus Christ corrected that and returned human development to the way of God-that of freedom. The true God and the Son Jesus Christ is the right way for a lost, fallen humanity to move forward through the moral darkness of evil empires and heartless, cold-blooded godless broadcast media forever seeking to make of themselves gods of the Universe. Americans should know better by now.

British aristocrats have manipulated dumbed-down U.S. leadership since the Clinton administration at least into structuring the world to support a new British financial Empire to replace the colonial empire lost by the early 1960s. Homosexual corruption is a key to leveraging global financial power with London as the Mecca of the New Godless Evil Empire of Fundamentalist Darwinian-Spencer Concentrated Riches. The predictable censoring of political dissent on the Internet through a variety of indirect means and direct means of legal repression are advancing in the United States as well as in the Evil Empire.

Quarantine Returning Soldiers At Resort With Good Beach

Soldiers and other military personnel returning from arduous duty containing evola virus in Africa that are going to get 21 days of quarantine ought to go to some resort with a good beach-perhaps Guam and a family member too flown in to share the recovery. Its the least the nation can do.

The Gospel of John (video)

This is a good account of the Gospel of John.

Zeitgeist: Addendum-A Movie About the U.S. Financial System

An interesting movie on the American financial system and globalization named Zeitgeist: Addendum. Zeitgeist: Addendum (addition to the spirit of the times) is a good example of-vintage 2008 Democrat-leftist thought. The title is ironic for the point of view is entirely materialistic. It's now quite dated and quaint though it contains a few good ideas. They failed to note that most American criminals vote Democrat and thus eliminating the Democrat Party would have eliminated the problems crime before 2012 (except for residual 1% criminals and broadcast media);It is overtly simplistic.

The theory of a debt-driven financial and  monetary system  in this video is interesting, yet the theoretical foundation for select institutional structures such as religion are superficial as is the paradigm for cosmology. The physics of thermodynamics aren’t well understood here and are represented by an inadequate term; ‘emergent’, expressing a kind of voodoo phenomenalism and a priori joss.

One might wish that knowledge of the emergence of technology within the complete social environment inclusive of social sciences, arts, humanities and spirituality was understood by Venus project people along with how  competition has stimulated invention, science and  technology to progress without which society might still be enthralled by Pharaoh building pyramids and homosexual sycophants agitating leaders for gay marriage.

How can society evolve a cashless society without private property that wold let tech progress continue? Allocation of capital and exclusive private property are needed for keeping dairy farms free of baseball fields and computer chip manufacturer clean rooms free of drunks and dope smoking.

Capital is real physical assets. Money represents that capital abstractly. So in theory if the owner of company A wants to take some of his capital and start rocket science company B he can take some of the money of the value of company A to do that. Otherwise he would have to use the actual material of company A such as boards and horses to build his spaceship to Venus. In the simplest example. The spaceship builder will be paid with the money that thus gives him part ownership of company A. The trouble with the  Federal Reserve and banks printing up money without corresponding proportionate assets is inflation and creeping expropriation of other's physical assets by those receiving the issued non-representative money of equal or greater value than money representing actual physical assets proportionately. So what can American business do?

With loss of Steve Jobs some believe that Apple leadership  will suck. They need new products and ideas to create jobs that won't be outsourced. Apple could develop a multiple personality shoulder-sitting conscience robot ethics adviser so Wall Streeters and politicians could get both sides of opinion on important issues (i.e. 'bite it-don't bite it!)  yet probably  wouldn't sell with the jobs  touch. Manufacturing  authentic looking business-politics adviser dolls with artificial intelligence could be the next big wave. Imagine what their own foot tall Chairman Mao, Adolph Hitler, Osama Bin Laden or Marquis De Sade doll could do for NPR raving in their own language. The Zeitgeist people don't understand low-entropy economics and how or why technology arises for markets apparently.

Ecological economic principles need to  be infused into the  social structure  just  as  church reform  to  a  priesthood  of  believers should  develop to  lead  the the faithful away from mirrored secular hierarchical organizational forms toward a  practical,  participatory  egalitarianism.  Secular atheist social  revolutionaries   may  desire  a Godless utopianism yet mankind does  have a nature founded in thermodynamic  drives than rather just existential behavior. additionally  the zeitgeist folks probably haven’t done  there homework in theology.

It's possible that spirit is at the heart of matter  and energy fields sustaining quantum entanglement in the steady-state observable Universe. Leibniz thought so. One more observation-they  seemingly don’t know that the meaning of IS can  be ’Islamic  State’ yet it’s an interesting video with several useful ideas.

Spree (poem)

Bright chunks of land are excavated
with the ecosphere scooped in large poignant bucket loaders
growling more than ravens at play
while rain falls, fog and mist swirl
across a psychologically eroding world

Moving through the spinning seasons with that star
bright overhead rolling down pin-balled
as night rests beyond cold mountains
seeming to starken October colors
with its absence

Purged of natural biota carbonated fuel flows
over carpet interior yearnings of showers and power
powdered up with allergies cast-for-others sopped
scientific intelligentsia thoughtfully work Nero's homo marriage plan
of planned abortionhood of too many lemmings.

Nero and President Obama Forcibly Shared Homosexual Marriage

I have started reading Gentry's book 'The Beast of Revelation'. The difference between his covenant approach and the pre-millenialist's point of view on futurism is substantial. I am not sure how the inaugurated eschatology position of Ladd fits in exactly.If Nero was the beast of revelation and so forth, one must wonder what end times will wrap up the world. Jesus did say that his kingdom is not of this world.

The Roman Emperor Nero and President Obama had support for homosexual marriage in common amongst other management attributes of style. The historian Suetonius wrote of Nero that, “He castrated the boy Sporus and actually tried to make a woman of him, and he married him with all the usual ceremonies . . . and treated him as his wife.”...“He even devised a kind of game, in which, covered with the skin of some wild animal, he was let loose from a cage and attacked the private parts of men and women, who were bound to stakes.”

President Obama of course has been the greatest homosexual community organizer in U.S. history with a compliant judiciary forcing homosexual marriages upon the states. In former times of history such as Nazi Germany homosexual disestablishment of normal social order have led to radical transition to dissolution of the state. Wealth becomes concentrated in those times.

OP/ED on Five-Dimension Universes (video)

Four spatial dimensions with another of time comprising a five dimensional Universe seems a hot topic. It can include or plausibly explain a Big bang or inflation at a point some call the beginning of time. It is at least one beginning of time at a particular space-time locale. Some consider that a four dimensional universe of experience exists as an event horizon on a five dimensional black hole created by a collapsed star of a five dimensional bulk Universe. Its a nice theory among an infinite number of potential theories to account for a given point of time.

Containing the Evola Virus-Op/Ed Video

Here is an op-ed comment on the Evola virus.

Just Say No Taxes on Internet Sales

Taxing Internet sales seems an unfair violation of free trade and commerce between the states much less the world. With the United States outsourcing production of material commodities yet having some prospects for Internet sales growth domestically and Internationally burdening the ordinary people that use the Internet for sales would unfairly punch the little guy in the mouth.

Consider for a minute the vast dark pools of high-speed global Internet trading that are done every second by Wall Street and other global high-finance companies that are entirely below the radar screen much less taxed. Those quantitative purchases and sales done in a fraction of a second ought to be taxed at F.D.R.'s 90% tax rate on the rich before any sort of Internet tax is dumped upon the individual high plains sales drifter buying special vita-oats for his horse.

Elect Congresspersons that believe in free Internet trade without vast taxation bureaucracies.

Scheduled Reduction of Publishing

The quantitative aspect of my posts at this blog will for the foreseeable future be substantially reduced. If possible I shall return to the usual schedule in a year or two.

What WIll Google Invest in Next?

One wonders what Google will invest in next? Tesla Motors seems a likely prospect with the union of electric auto technology and computer driving systems. Since Google choose not to submit to Chinese Communist censorship in order to do business in China, and China is producing electric vehicles investing in electric vehicles may be another route into China's business market. It is hard to believe that the communists would want to censor automobile programming much.

Cheap Do-it-Yourself Haircuts

For cheap, effective haircuts buy an plug-in electric haircutter at a big-box discount store for less than $20. Over the course of a year it pays for itself many times over. Use the largest size plastic cutter screen for the haircutter and buzz it all over. Then take an adjustable baseball cap and tighten it up so that it would fit on just the top of your head. Set it aside

Next take a number two hair cutter screen and put that on the cutter. Starting at the bottom work up on all sides toward the top. Don't cut the hair on top you want to remain long. You should have a general taper. Put on the cap. It may set down  midway or near the top of the area just cut with the two screen.

Take off the screen and try to cut all of the hair below the cap. Make sure the cap is set evenly on the head . The basic problem with cutting your own hair is you may look like you scalped yourself badly. Protecting the top part with the cap and cutting all the hair below the cap as close as possible entirely avoids that problem and presents a tapered appearance.

It may take a couple weeks to grow out evenly, yet one can become proficient at the simple haircut and save quite a bit annually. In Alaska a haircut costs a minimum of $25 dollars. For the unemployed that's unrealistic.

Satire Interview-Mr. Ed Says to Bring Crime Out of the Shadows

An interview with Mr. Ed-the ultimate Washington insider, usually brings a load of horse sense to difficult hot-button political issues. Lately the buzzword phrase for rationalizing dubious legislation is that it will bring it out of the shadows. I wondered what Mr. Ed-the real Mayor of Realville, thought of that.

Expert interviewer; Mr Ed, besides illegal immigration, dope smoking and homosexuality, what other matters in politics should be brought out of the shadows, or to think of it, should remain in the shadows?

Mr. Ed; I have been chewin it over lately and think crime should be brought out of the shadows. If it weren't criminal anymore it wouldn't cost nothin to fix it or correct it saving a lot of tax dollars.

E.I.;Interesting.

Mr. Ed; You betcha. When tax evasion is brought out of the shadows and made legal there will be a lot more tax payers. When organized crime is brought out of the shadows the only underworld will be those opposed to the former mob made legit. They just wants a piece of the action.

E.I.; Possibly it is so.

Mr. Ed; Ain't no possibility about it. If child molestation is brought out of the shadows new production of special child-like robots in Silicon Boob Valley fine for molesting and photographin can stimulate the wallpaperin business and get tax revenue for bureaucrats-that sort of thing is already over-subject to government regulation.

E.I.; Anything else?

Mr. Ed; Well you could make robbery legal ending the problem of theft and simultaneously changing the way people think about vast federal debt. Newt Spangle's Inverse logic economics entirely nullifies traditional concepts of public debt, makin debt a public good.

E.I.; Some would disagree.

Mr Ed;They don't have that libertarian spirit-let wild horses run free! Think about bringin government corruption out of the shadows and makin it legal. Government lawyers and cops and judges would be freed up to get pay increases with bribes over-the-table and honest government by the highest bidders would bring truth to the people.

E.I.; Out of the shadows is a compelling concept.

Mr. Ed; In the shadows the will of the people is repressed, dank and deep. Bringing quickie hangings after a due moment in court on the nearest lamppost would satisfy the repressed desire for justice that burns in the hearts of some and light up some lives.

E.I.;Sure Mr. Ed, you can never be too liberal in bringing things out of the shadows.

Mr. Ed; Machine guns and honest anarchy ought to liberate the folks. Haven't you ever wanted to gun down some fellow giving you the evil eye or burn down the mission district?

E.I.; Well, I try to keep that in the shadows.

Mr. Ed; Exactly! That's just what's wrong with the world.

E.I.; Thank you for the opinions. Next week we shall return to ask you about the underemployment and unemployment issues.

Mr. Ed; I'll be chewin it over.

Global Warming Reduction with Political Economy Efficiency Increase

Moderation in defense of virtue is no vice. Business is beginning to realize that a political economy transitioning toward ecological rationality is good for business. Instead of making America a comfortable slum with offshore production and sprawling inefficient urban and suburban areas more efficient land use can produce generations of high-tech workers and profit. The 2016 Presidential election is the last chance for a generation G.O.P candidates to return to mainstream business and ecological leadership and forgo the Neanderthal extremist conservative global warming deniers without a care about increasing greenhouse gas emissions.

http://www.isecoeco.org/tag/sustainable-urban-development/

Like early 60's gas guzzlers like the Toronado political economy has much room for efficiency increase. The development of land and energy use patterns in urban and suburban regions of the U.S.A. have evolved somewhat inefficiently to producing copious greenhouse gases that are largely fossil fuel emission bi-products. With intelligent political-economy reform it is thought that better urbanization structures bringing more of the population closer to the prime market of urban areas utilizing state-of-the-art mass transit and alternative energy technology to produce energy could create jobs and improve the state of human health and well-being concurrently. About 4 million souls die each year from air pollution.

http://www.economist.com/node/14447171 global warming is bad for poor countries

In 2015 the 21^st summit on climate change will meet in Paris.. G.O.P. candidates for President ought to be leaders this time and help move the world toward better political economy with efficiency improvements in human urban and suburban dwelling patterns that could be replicated globally with little harm to the environment.

http://www.diplomatie.gouv.fr/en/french-foreign-policy-1/sustainable-development-1097/21st-conference-of-the-parties-on/

It is true that some may live in rural areas with zero global emissions efficiency and shelter wildlife with minimal environmental impact-yet that is a voluntary practice-most people would drive an SUV, slaughter forests and kill wildlife to extinction-its a human social trait. Well, back to the city.

http://www.economist.com/news/briefing/21618680-our-guide-actions-have-done-most-slow-global-warming-deepest-cuts

There is no excuse involving religion or business that can justify ignorant unwillingness to modernize political economy toward better efficiency. When the most ignorant lead a political party and when extremist talk radio demagogues attack Republican candidates as not conservative enough Democrat politicians have easy victories in Presidential elections assuring the most immoral social development possible. That is entirely the fault of ignorance-wing talk radio.

Yet all is not sanguinary with more efficient concentration of population in urban areas in good homes designed for comfortable human living. Urban areas without green building exteriors may become ecosphere deserts-sterile and act as heat sinks producing micro-climates besides. New land-owning corporate aristocracies like Lord Fairfax who owned much of Virginia may buy up the entire rural areas of the world for-themselves and put no trespassing signs on it for mere mortals to tremble at crossing. Politics needs to address real-world facts to be useful to the populous. Wrong though politically winning platforms will not roll back the tide of global warming any more than King Canute's order for the ocean to recede. With no change in current greenhouse gas output the global temperature is anticipated to rise by 6 degrees centigrade in the long run after 2050 when greenhouse gas emissions would have doubled from the present level.

http://www.iea.org/publications/scenariosandprojections/

It is necessary to reduce human caused global warming gases by at least billion billion tons annual before 2030 or the world may become altered beyond economic sustainability for billions. I believe that 2013 had the record amount of global warming gases ever released by mankind in it's history. G.O.P. business leadership is required to make an effective and adequate initial response to the challenges of environmental decay and change.
