The
Late Dictator Ferdinand Franco Throws Support to Tet Kruz
With
Super-Tuesday Presidential primary elections tomorrow endorsements
and support for candidates is important. The Zillary for President
committee is hopeful of a boosting endorsement by black comedic actor
and educator Bill Cosby. Zillary, whose fame rests largely upon being
the white of former President Sir Edmund Gill Favour Oxford, said she
has done more for American blacks than anyone, even more than for
Benghazzi, and would continue to do so if elected. The Christie Kreme
Donut Good Old Boy said Trump goes best with his latte.
Late
Dictator Ferdinand Franco's super PAC threw support to the Tet
Kruz for President
campaign overnight where it was day. Declaring that Senator Kruz
represents the best Madrid-Seville-Havana-Montreal-Austin axis of
Republican revolutionary espiritu the support to put down
recrudescent communards of the civil war heritage was welcomed by the
Kruz campaign promising to kiss the dictator's sarcophagus when next
in Spain as a true product du Kannaduh
In
other campaign comedic news Senator Markyo Rubes received support
from the Che Guevara memorial PAC and Chicago Ladies Auxiliary White
Submissivist PAC leader Wolfina Blues. Campaign jokesperson Ruby
Tuesday said the hounds of hell would descendf from the heavens on
his political rivals soon. Donald Trump got endorsement from KKK PAC
leader David Duke. Duke, famous for attending a meeting in Tehran
during the Amadinijob era on the fictitious lies and half-truths
holocaust tour concerning Jews is associated with a Super PAC for
Trump. Super PACS may be formed without a candidate's knowledge or
consent. Trump declined to put the Klan hangman's noose hyper-link
symbol on his website in exchange for the endorsement saying he
didn't know Duke.
An
Iranian-Cuban-ISIS Super PAC for continuing President Obama's
policies also formed to support the Zillary Eastwood for President of
Wealthysleague College campaign. She said she is running for
President of the U.S.A., and they said they were awaiting support for
a nuclear warhead development program and deserved them before Libya.
None can see the future with certainty except God for whom all time is present. However the economy of the United States like that of all geographic regions of Earth has tended to increase output over time. With few exceptions productivity increases and environmental health decreases over the course of human history. nations and civilizations rise and fall yet geographic regions tend to be more fruitful as people and technology multiplies. That historical trend is itself not guaranteed.
If globalists one day decide that some other nation would be a better place to centralize, as Constantine once shifted the Roman Empire capital east to a new city, the majority of Americans that would be rather politically ineffective could have little to say about it if they cared to.
The United States has a blessed past in being sparsely populated with rich natural resources. Like a fire given a dry forest the economy inevitably grew over time as did the population. The conditions were natural enough yet the conditions have changed significantly since the end of the cold war in January 1989.
The civil war was an effort of the oligarchic southern states to break free from the United States. Continuing southern inclusion was forced through war. In the future new reasons to end the U.S.A. may arise from actual morally acceptable causes. Likely causes are vast public debt debt and the concentration of wealth and power negating democracy though there are other reasons for political bankruptcy and dissolution etc.
The historian Arnold Toynbee (author of A Study of History) noted that all prior civilizations except for two or three no longer existed. The factors that make the United States what it was may no longer exist in the years ahead. The U.S.A. like an old soldier may fade away to be replaced by an immoral majority loyal to post-national, post-rational ideals.
Maybe a future majority of Hispanics may decide to annex it to old Mexico perhaps as a state of global plutocrats. Maybe oligarchs may change its name to honor a future civil rights control dictator and the nation will fade away. States as a term of pluralism may seem subversive to a one-nation Earth civilization leadership cadre and be replaced with some harmless term like Opsland or Section 3000.
Already cellphones and Internet have subverted national boundaries as the rich do what they can to avoid taxes in business with trans-national gimmicks. Things that held the U.S.A. together before pcs and end of taxes sufficient to stop automatic reinforcing concentration of wealth are fading away.
The United States after the revolution was spared kings and dictators. Democracy has been the fact in the past. Generals that fought in wars such as Washington and Jackson became Presidents. Rather ordinary men like Lincoln and Grant responded to the call of the age and rose to greatness. Homesteading allowed a man to work with his hands and build a place he could call his own without much financial trouble. manufacturing could be done in the nation itself. It soon became a world leader at manufacturing and transportation. Opportunity existed in the U.S.A. in a variety of ways. The United States was a do-it-yourself nation with a democracy that would find that in the Spanish American war recruiting offices were swamped the first day volunteers were called to serve in the Army.
Today little of the heritage remains. Production of new inventions and innovations requires a convoluted and costly patent process that may cost millions annual to defend just one patent. manufacturing at a competitive price must be done in China or Mexico-overseas generally adding to cost and difficulty. Homesteading is long dead. It perished in Alaska by the 1990s were some land in the late 80s was still available. banking and business is global and great advantages go to concentrated wealth and power. While the tax rate was at 90% on the top class Americans prospered in the 20th century right through the 1960s. As the tax rate was cut the difference between rich and poor increased.
I believe it was recently reported today the middle class is no longer a statistical majority. Like Mexico wealth is being concentrated at the top. The richest 10% take 90% of the annual income of the nation each year. That is runaway wealth and power. With such extreme imbalance the U.S.A. may evolve into being a democracy in name only. The media is a bought and paid for tool of the 1%.
The U.S.A. has no guarantee that it will continue to exist as a somewhat egalitarian society with the differences in earnings between the most wealthy, the middle class and the poor not being very great. Environmental reports indicate that the low latitudes are desiccating and food production will shift north without great desalinization canals and new fresh water production in deserts. The inventor of the Gaia Hypothesis James Lovelock said that the American midwest may be a desert in 200 years.
The U.S.A., like the ancient Roman Empire, has no guarantee that it will continue to exist or prosper. Even until the invasion of the Goths some Romans probably believed the good life would never end. With right environmental and social reason the U.S. could improve its prospects. As things stand it doesn’t look terribly sound.
The next global derivatives and mortgage banking swindle scheme invented at M.I.T. (where the Monte Carlo algorithm was hatched) or academia elsewhere transferred to Wall Street may bring the dollar crashing down too. There has been so many hundreds of billions and even trillions of loose dollars made up by the Federal Reserve in recent times to keep the rich economy going and wealth concentrating that one views the value of honest physical labor as dubious. Dope dealers and bankers might regard physical labor as cheap units to exploit working for chump change.
When the poor and middle class lost homes during the 2008-2009 economic crisis, the rich corporate world would eventually buy up those homes with free Federal Reserve zero interest loans transferring wealth upward again.
When ordinary nations like Argentina and Mexico cannot pay their foreign and public debts they cannot just run the electronic currency presses and make more cash without hyper-inflation. Euro-nations no longer even have the option. The U.S.A. as the world’s leading financial power has been able to get away with increasing money supply in recent years from thin air. The dollar value is tied to nothing except American power, prestige and the impractical choice of crashing a currency where so many abroad are invested in it. No guarantee exists that the dollar will always be regarded as sound by investors.
If the U.S. were to collapse and be phased out by Americans to liquidate their debt, the continent itself probably would continue to prosper. Race is no longer a reason for war domestically. Foreign nations however may view the U.S.A. as a target for racial takeover. Mexico has a President who views the U.S.A. as a chicken dinner without a right to be free from foreign demographic illegal President Fox has a your house is my house disposition even after NAFTA created a huge number of new economic opportunities for Mexico. Maybe the wealth in Mexico is being networked to trickle up as it has in the U.S.A. Mexican poverty drives workers into the arms of predatory American cheap labor exploiters undermining domestic labor value.
Obviously the thousands new technologies for democide through covert bio-war design and so forth that have been added to the post-industrial world could end the U.S.A. overnight. It is environmental and finance reasons that are the clearest present dangers followed closely by low taxes on the rich and the great gap between poor, middle class and the rich that makes freedom practically a patronized fact until the powers decide to finesse censorship, or ruin on citizens deemed less than ideal to the security of the 10%.
If the U.S. were to lead Lunar development in an environmentally conservative way, support private enterprise moon manufacturing of structures and true space-ships it might enjoy some kind of financial benefit within a half century that might also be of value to a humanity troubled by global warming. High tech solutions to new problems may arise from new fields and technologies presently unknown.
The inner solar system might be developed for human habitation on planets, moons and new forms of zero-G structures with the Earth's moon being a primary base for the effort to invent new living and working spaces in a variety of decentralized approaches. The Earth too should experience U.S. leadership beginning in the U.S.A. with sustainable transportation and living infrastructure that works inexorably to conserve biota and sustain natural habitat health for the wild and humanity.
Bill Clinton's welfare reform increased extreme poverty in the U.S.A. such that two decades later 1.6 million families in the U.S.A. live on fewer than $2 dollars cash per day. Bill Clinton also enabled Wall Street deregulation that supported the derivatives and home mortgage flip flam. President Obama kept not only the Bush II tax cuts for the rich, he also kept the Clinton extreme poverty reform. So its natural that the Congressional Black caucus supports Hillary Clinton continue concentrating wealth for the most rich. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/02/27/bernie-sanders-is-right-bill-clintons-welfare-law-doubled-extreme-poverty/
Statistically speaking, Playboy bunnies probably play chess more than the average American woman. It is difficult to explain why. In a rather technical investigation that looked into the question of do women or men play more beautiful chess games, the researchers also investigated who it is that plays chess among women shattering certain notions about beautiful women. The research did find that men play more beautiful games than women of course, for women I suppose don't require quite as much sophistication to checkmate as men if one is drawing from gender behavior as an explanation for chess behavior partly, however it isn't my research and I am not sure what makes a chess game beautiful unless it is when an online opponent trashing taking you is adroitly defeated, asks for a rematch and is finished off in five moves. http://en.chessbase.com/post/do-women-play-more-beautiful-chess Here is the article on the research.
Sanders led the first student sit-in in Chicago history being arrested in 1962 protesting racially segregated student housing. All of the major candidates besides Trump are lawyer-career politicians. Sanders at least has backbone, and was the sole Democrat to vote against making Bush-era tax cuts permanent. Keynesian economics are for emergencies and not viable permanent policy. The nation has nearly 20 trillion of public debt and Wall Street was pumped up with free loans from the federal Reserve the past several years. For each dollar a bank is given free it can also loan out 4 dollars based on the 1 dollar in effect electronically minting money. Thus the Federal Government has been giving trillions of free dollars to Wall Street banks during the Obama administration. Wealth is being concentrated and the public looks to Trump or Sanders to get real, though no candidates are good at environmental economics and the bees are dying out.
I found a video on another theory of when the Exodus occurred that I like. The name of the pharaoh ruling when it probably happened turns out to be rather amusing. In Hebrew it meant 'brother of Moses'. Cabbages and kings require humility or resistance as democracy and the will of God require. Little other than God can be epistemologically certain I think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8f9_k3c4pZQ
Some wonder about the separation of church and state and what the Westminster Standards say about it in light of the post-American Revolution revision of 1788. One copy of the Westminster Standards 1788 revision has a commentary that addresses some of the points.
Concerning especially chapter 17-that on civil magistracy,
“ the proof texts were revised, thus suggesting a shift in understanding of paragraph 2 in light of the changes made to The 1788 American Revision of the Westminster Standards paragraph 3. Although the proof texts did not have binding constitutional authority, they illuminate the intent of both the Westminster divines and the Synod of Philadelphia and New York with respect to their doctrine of the civil magistrate.
As you read the 1788 Confession and its proof texts, in comparison with the original version and its proof texts, it ought to become apparent that the position held both by modern theonomists and by the original Westminster divines (viz., that the civil magistrate is obligated to enforce in the civil arena the Decalogue’s prohibition of false worship), was formally and intentionally repudiated by the American Presbyterian church. It follows that this theocratic conception of the civil magistrate continues to be repudiated, at least on paper, by those Presbyterian churches that have adopted the revised version.”
I would think that with the plurality of Protestant denominations that followed the reformation the desire of American prelates for religious tolerance and pro forma separation of church and state would have been self-evident. It would have been too simple for a civil magistrate otherwise to suppress various Christian sects as forms of false worship, much less non-Christian religions. Imagine if Pontius Pilate had been given authority and duty to repress all religion besides Caesar worship in Israel.
The Westminster Standards were written I think, just prior to the first regicide in Europe-Charles I. That brought on many changes. Keep in mind the attitude that philosophers such as Thomas Hobbes writing in his book 'Leviathan' had toward monarchy and absolutism.
With the American revolution, Witherspoon, a signatory of the Declaration, and others would have found it challenging to have a state authority-say President Obama, decide what the true religion in the United States is and suppress all others. I think he would decide that the First Church of Napoleonic Ice Cream is the true religion myself, and suppress any rival flavor working inevitably towards state monopoly.
My notes on chapter 17 of the Westminster Confession from the Gershner Lectures...
Lecture 17 The Civil Magistrate
Of the Civil Magistrate
the church was established in Britain then in the United States, then the U.S. revolted against Britain, and the separation of church and state developed, so this is an historically substantive topic
"1. God, the supreme Lord and King of all the world, hath ordained civil magistrates, to be, under him, over the people, for his own glory, and the public good: and, to this end, hath armed them with the power of the sword, for the defense and encouragement of them that are good, and for the punishment of evildoers. "
This is the fundamental Christian philosophy of the state the sword is for the encouragement of those that are good and the punishment of evil doers
John Witherspoon and other signers of the declaration reasoned that a government was for good and not evil, and that the British government wasn't doing that, and so it wasn't a true government and didn't have the right to exercise that power over the colonies
Until 1790 the clergy -the reformed clergy especially-was an advocate for social change and supported the rebellion
the British government was not appointed by God or had advocated that and was not a lawful government doing good to the people for the glory of God
"2. It is lawful for Christians to accept and execute the office of a magistrate, when called thereunto: in the managing whereof, as they ought especially to maintain piety, justice, and peace, according to the wholesome laws of each commonwealth; so, for that end, they may lawfully, now under the new testament, wage war, upon just and necessary occasion. "
A body politic may defend itself against corrupt government and criminals-yet only for just and necessary causes we do not assume a civil magistrate is incapable of error maybe one may use active disobedience to not comply with a corrupt government
"3. Civil magistrates may not assume to themselves the administration of the Word and sacraments; or the power of the keys of the kingdom of heaven; or, in the least, interfere in matters of faith. Yet, as nursing fathers, it is the duty of civil magistrates to protect the church of our common Lord, without giving the preference to any denomination of Christians above the rest, in such a manner that all ecclesiastical persons whatever shall enjoy the full, free, and unquestioned liberty of discharging every part of their sacred functions, without violence or danger. And, as Jesus Christ hath appointed a regular government and discipline in his church, no law of any commonwealth should interfere with, let, or hinder, the due exercise thereof, among the voluntary members of any denomination of Christians, according to their own profession and belief. It is the duty of civil magistrates to protect the person and good name of all their people, in such an effectual manner as that no person be suffered, either upon pretense of religion or of infidelity, to offer any indignity, violence, abuse, or injury to any other person whatsoever: and to take order, that all religious and ecclesiastical assemblies be held without molestation or disturbance. "
The relation of church and state
freedom of religion
the state should protect the church-all denominations of Christians (that isn't what the U.S.A. does today)
A.A. Hodge- wrote a commentary on the Westminster confession
It is the duty of people to pray for the magistrates, to honor their persons, to pay them tribute and other dues, and to obey their lawful commands, and to obey them for conscience's sake-not because they bear the sword
"4. It is the duty of people to pray for magistrates, to honor their persons, to pay them tribute or other dues, m to obey their lawful commands, and to be subject to their authority, for conscience’ sake. Infidelity, or difference in religion, doth not make void the magistrates’ just and legal authority, nor free the people from their due obedience to them: from which ecclesiastical persons are not exempted, much less hath the pope any power and jurisdiction over them in their dominions, or over any of their people; and, least of all, to deprive them of their dominions, or lives, if he shall judge them to be heretics, or upon any other pretense whatsoever. "
clergy and ecclesiastical power are not exempt from the law-catholics took opposite view...
