N.A.T.O. Expansion/San Bernadino Massacre

N.AT.O. is the European-North American defense alliance. One must wonder why nations with significant (20%) Muslim populations sworn to expansion of Islam are top drawer choices, while Russia is given the bureau-snub. I suppose that without Russia as a potential foe N.A.T.O. would have nothing to do except defend against Muslims and maybe China should they decide to send nano-dust warrior-clouds of doom their way under some kind of evil Dr. Fu Man Chu. When Montenegro with 20,000 Slavic Muslims was added it provided potential problems in the future Balkans situation with Turkey's N.A.T.O. forces running joint ops and field exercises. Reconstructing ancient Muslim-Orthodox Christian antipathies wasn't an especially balancing sort of foresight.

Today news stories ran of ISIS killings of homosexuals while President Obama was the queer political community organizer for homosexual marriage in the U.S.A. for practical purposes. People suspect the President of being a closet Muslim practicing tafiq (Islamic lying to fool dupes), yet he did pressurize states such as N.Y. to give the limp wrist and knuckle under when the question was in legislatures. Why then move N.A.T.O. closer to Sunni infiltration with more Muslims eligible for expropriating its leadership?

I should say that I am not anti-Muslim, simply that I support a containment policy of Islam because of its similarity to the rabid for of Marxist-Leninism that Trotsky worked for in trying to take over the world through terrorism and so forth...its simply in the Quran's D.N.A. starting with the founder. I suppose Muslims as believers in God are theoretically better people than atheists with no moral inclinations at all except for personal egoism, however neither works well with the adult equal protection of the law concepts of the U.S. constitution.

Homosexual marriage is a direct attack on human family traditions past, present and future, as well as upon truth and common sense. Americans and others that support a real democratic social environment could have accepted honest queer coupling and even given them some economic benefits equivalent to those enjoyed by heterosexuals, yet the expropriation and in-your-face gross takeover of marriage through force of the judiciary preponderantly was a direct insult and assault upon social and political truth. There is little enough of that in currency as it is.

Since the world trading and financial, markets developed fast, quantitative and rather secretive trading the integrity of business and social structures have been under a new form of attack. One finds the quaint socialist ideas about labor, government and business archaic and off target today. If Americans were to have government take over their financial and trading sector it would simply crash and vanish. Manufacturing and pollution have already been outsourced to China in large measure, so how could American socialism take over manufacturing? Nothing adds up. Taxes could be increased for new programs of course, yet that isn't socialism. Government ownership or sharing of ownership is socialism, and that idea hasn't a real chance of occurring. What can happen is that government can continue to expand with funny money from the federal reserve and debt can compile while politicians can search for some new way to dump the debt overseas or two the poor or wherever. Its hard t imagine that any rich people anyplace on Earth will want to hold the bad on public debt--so that leaves the poor.

So the problems of Muslim expansionism are comparable to that of socialism and Marxist-Leninism, and each work better in a guerrilla phase rather than as a government. Socialism and theocracy have the problem of incompetents running what should be market economies adapted to ecospheric limitations through ecological economics and government regulation setting ecospheric parameters effectively. Pure market economics without direction also evolves to plutocracy or tyranny.

If American and European leadership were at all competent they would have integrated Russia into the European economy and security apparatus already. Instead protracted conflict has been allowed to develop in the Middle east with disestablished lawful government brought to destruction through Obama foreign policy initiatives rather than through regular and traditional diplomatic methods. Conflict across the Middle East supported by the United States have liberated thousands of tons of weapons,explosives and training to Muslim extremist groups and sent hundreds of thousands or even millions of migrants to Europe. The policy has created substantial security problems for Europe already and will continue to do so. It also appears that San Bernadino (east of L.A.) may have experienced a Muslim terror attack imitating that of Paris recently.

President Obama has called for gun control to limit American access to self-defense weapons. He should have called for tighter immigration controls on Muslims as well as enforced a zero-illegal alien immigration status on Mexican and Canadian borders (since Canada has decided to let in 20,000 Syrian immigrants). It seems as if political leadership has substantial reasoning deficits these years of the New World Order. One wonders when common sense will ever prevail.

Trans-Arctic Ocean Shipping Considerations

If annual decrease in the area of the Arctic ocean icepack at some future point brings development of direct shortest distance east-west hemisphere ship traffic of containers, passengers etc from rail heads in Europe and North America on the Arctic Sea littoral perhaps Alaska and Canada each will have rail roads to points south. One hopes that non-polluting electric systems are advanced in advance to create less habitat displacement.

I have wondered if Arctic sea-floor pipelines could be made to carry cargo with self-driving cargo modules through the pipe. Self-driving vehicles obviously have great potential for new transportation infrastructures across not only the north, but in dangerous areas of the world with a profusion of improvised exploding devices. It might also be possible to have self-driving ferryboats wait for passengers on seldom used routes, or for buses to self-drive as-needed when enough passengers arrive.

Obviously military uses for self-driving vehicles and weapons platforms exist, yet it is in trans-Arctic and Lunar transport infrastructures that the most interesting possibilities can be found.

N.A.S.A. is looking into lithium and gas sulfur hexafluoride to power space vehicles (ref S.A. Nov 2015 page 24), yet it might be that low temperature superconductors will allow mass transit highways to be placed on the moon with some conducting wires dropped into place.

Darker Martian Chronicles

If Intelligent Life Ever Existed on Mars

What if Martians created a civilization, or even Venusians that let Venus thermal power run amok, that was consumed by wild, voracious nanobots evolved from a designer's replication program?

Building nanobots that reproduced themselves in order to construct complete urban infrastructures on unpopulated planets would have a potential for getting out of control. Nanobots with the power to create could be made with flaws that permit them to destroy. What if Mars once had beautiful cities and bicycle paths in post-modern aesthetic form that were reduced to dust overnight in a swarm of over-exuberant nano-consumerism leaving nothing behind but a world devoid life or stick frame architecture?

Advanced civilizations could create traps on attractive planets seeding them with nanobots waiting like ticks or chiggers to attach themselves to visiting biological life forms or their vehicles and return to consume the origin planet of prey.

So often one hears space-Utopians speak about how life may be discovered, or that no one has ever gone before, and that everything will change for humanity of they find life elsewhere; so so it does as well when a wolf steps inside a box or snap trap.

Instead of a Pee Wee Herman vs. Bambi and the Zombies on Mars fantasy sports approach, gambling with skill it might be better to send astronauts to Mars and not plan to return them. They should be supported by machines in improving caves on mars and in making glass to allow thick, safe greenhouse space.

Transport should be all-electric with ground power lines laid around a spiderweb by self-driving vehicles that can draw power from a prime power source. Building up the Martian permanent infrastructure to support water and food production for locals could be done before during and after the first arrivals. They should be hardy engineering types with a few scientists, and fewer than 20 in number for the first decade.
