Neither U.S. Party Wants to Change tThe Status Quo

There are all kinds of change a democracy can make. In reference to global ecosphere destruction, neither party really wants to change things much. Each support the Wall Street consumption-expansion ethos with the major difference being that democrats are racists, sexists, homophones and socialists while Republicans seek to concentrate wealth for the most rich.

Both parties support the repression of free speech of actual new and innovative ideas. Democrats control the major social media through homosexuals and other radicals that want to censor anything they believe is politically antipathetic. Republicans of course are Wall Street and admit what Democrats they need to for increased profit. The world may go to ruin but those that are rich will get richer. Democrats can at any rate keep flooding the nation with illegal aliens, develop socialist corporatism and end the U.S.A. transforming it to a globalist socialist-corporatist entity.

Progressives of the Democrat ilk are something more like regressive going back to quasi-Marxism as the fix-all for patching things. Reforming capitalism within Democracy and free enterprise paradigms can repair the ecosphere faster and more efficiently without piling up government debt; that needs direction though. Intelligence is required and lacking in both major parties because they lust for power and wealth in the existing way things are.

Between corporatism and communism the quest for wealth and increased consumption tends to doom the future of the world ecosphere. One imagines that some day in a century a world population of too many billions will just crash down to a billion more or less. Prospects for rational adaptation by society in general are improbable since the most greedy, avaristic kind of people have so many trillions invested in the existing way of doing things.

The green new deal was a socialist ply that addressed just global warming. That is a problem yet so is flooding the U.S.A. with cheap labor immigrants to help raise the population and consumption higher.

The United States facing challenges from enemies within and enemies without. N.A.T.O. is somewhat anachronistic and binds the U.S. to Europolitics too much. Meanwhile the ecosphere declines, population of humans increases and democracy and its advantage of a marketplace of ideas is buried under the power of Wall Street and Beijing's Grand Hall.

The Revelation of John- a comment

The Revelation of John of Patmos was written to Christians of the first century in a very difficult time with persecution past, present and ahead. John needed to code his writing a little because, for instance, if he had used Nero’s name instead of the Beast he would have been executed right away very likely instead of exiled to a prison island.

Martin Luther said that the Revelation of John has ‘a lot of straw’ in it. That reference is to brick making I believe, wherein one may add filler to the brick that isn’t purely necessary.

My opinion is that the apocalypse occurred in the first century with Jesus crucified, the Christians scattered, Apostles such as James and Paul killed, Jerusalem destroyed. This is the era where the Kingdom of God is building up. That will continue until Jesus returns physically.

The events of the Revelation are not all complete for the Universe still continues obviously. Some people want to sell all sorts of pre-tribulation ideas in churches because it makes for good disaster scenarios and social irresponsibility for the condition of the world. It is something of a cult point of view that I don't share. The subject isn’t simple. 

Jesus will return to judge the quick and the dead. I have written something about eschatology in a book I made of a theology course I took. It is free to download. Page 38 and after has some material explaining something of my opinion.

Turkey Declares Enmity With U.S.A.- Boot it From N.A.T.O

Apparently Turkey's P.M. has declared the U.S. to be an enemy for supporting Israel. Turkey has plainly chosen Russia as it's arms supplier and military friend rather than N.A.T.O. The United States should sever diplomatic ties with Turkey and boot it from N.A.T.O.

Turkey is still something like the Ottoman Empire in its attitude toward other nations. It is also a Muslim state with fundamentalist tendencies. Plainly it is an enemy that should not be trusted. The only reason to allow Turkey in N.A.T.O. to start with was its opposition to Soviet Communism. Since Turkey has moved to the Russian side in support of Russian goals for Middle east hegemony through an expanded Sunni presence across the Middle East and North Africa in order to reassert an Ottoman Empire-like presence , that day has long passed. Turkey has long range goals that are in conflict with those of the United States, some of N.A.T.O. and free people lucky  enough to be free of Muslim government.

Actually N.A.T.O. has dubious reason for existence. With the Turkish defection to Russia's sphere of influence, the French neo-neutrality of an historical character during the Cold War, and the pacific and treacherous English stance, not to mention Western European nations that hate any sort of U.S. militarism, N.A.T.O. would be better phased out as a security threat to the United States.

Turkey may buy Russian S-35 fighter jets in the future. They are a very good aircraft. Besides not being a nation with homosexual marriage, Russia is a friend of China; Turkey can buy all the cheap things it needs from China to satisfy its consumers.

European nations should pay entirely for whatever defense they believe they need. Germany should have a chance to rearm and defend itself against Russia if it wants to. With a more active European role with Russia that does not involve the United States the relationship between Russia and Europe might work out better, equalizing to a sustainable balance.

Forming a coalition of the willing to counter global dangers might be more useful than being bogged down in the security leak that is N.A.T.O. If Europe again becomes a threat the United States can deal with that later. If countering Chinese expansion requires multi-state remedies again a coalition of the willing might be more effective.

Allowing Turkey to benefit from allied defense between Europe and the U.S.A. is a mistake. Turkey views the Middle East through Muslim eyes envisioning an Israel that does not exist. It would be far better if Turkey did not exist and Greece reclaimed Constantinople.

Turkey's purchase of Russian air defense missiles plainly was taken as it views N.A.T.O. and the U.S.A. as a threat to its power goals.

Israel is a permanent friend of the  United States. Russia should regard Israel as a friend as well, rather than Muslim states that one day may nuke Moscow in the hope to converting Russia to Islam. The administration in Washington D.C. is not too warlike; rectifying the relationship with Turkey may need to wait until a former General is elected to the White House.

Dealing With the Alaska Ferry Boat Union Strike 2019

It was a terrible time to strike, with the state budget already cut so far. I recall talking with a guy from the Philippines via Las Vegas who had arrived to work on a ferry- he asked for directions in Juneau. The marine 'highway' system has its own interests in mind rather than those of Alaskans.

The Marine Highway union barricade (strike) is equivalent to a state disaster affecting thousands of Americans. The blockage of an international highway should merit federal action to keep it open. It could even be regarded as worthy of FEMA relief management as a disaster caused by a Union.

Is it possible to get Coast Guard or naval reservists to run a few boats while the strike continues in order to not impact everyone's business? What about hiring a private firm to go from Ketchikan to Hollis and use the existing system to Northeast P.O.W. to Wrangell? If there was a permanent shuttle from Wrangell to Mitkov Island that would at least allow most of the southern half of S.E. to be accessible via land and boat.

Then a northern boat from Petersburg to Juneau to Sitka could circle, and a Juneau to Haines-Skagway. Three large boats and three shuttles; not too many to improvise crew for.

Probably there should be one boat to Kodiak from Whittier- so four large boat altogether.

Unions may coordinate with global socialists to do the most damage they can to the Alaska and U.S. economy. The ferry union has international connections. What if there is collusion with China or Canada?

Tighten Up Perfidious Canadian Border Crossings

Canada has fairly loose, importunate standards of immigration. Not that one should care what Canucks do implicitly- it is just that they comprosie a threat to U.S. security.

Canada is something of a shill for British policy initiatives such as homosexuality, drugs, imperialism and destruction of an independent United States. Not only should a wall be built that keeps illegal aliens out of the United States, it would be a good idea to tighten up Canadian entry into the United States in order to secure the back door to the U.S.A. that allows evil to enter from that vector.

Canada has been something of a tradition frenemie status that requires increased vigilance to defend against. Mapleville has very cheesy politics with  loony spin regarding the interests of democracy and ordinary Americans that still want a storage unit of their own free from international terror. Canada is an aloof critic that mocks Americans from a safe haven of incipient socialism.

Irresponsible Canadians media scum sometimes throw mud at Americans that support democracy and nationalism labeling us fascists. They condition their minions for sycophantic speech. No one that takes democracy seriously needs that. I hope the Pentagon has a plan for Canada in the event those neo-Communist imperialists go too far in support of transnational terrorism, evil and alignment with adverse foreign interests.

Rep Cumming's Maryland 7th Congressional District Got $16 Billion from Feds in 2018

Congressman Elijah Cumming's 7th Congressional District in Maryland got $16 billion dollars from the U.S. Government in 1018. That is not a small amount of money. One would think the condition of the 7th district is reasonably well known or the federal Government should not be spending so much upon it.

If there is much illegal drug use, and many derelict houses, garbage strewn about and unsafe streets that most Americans would be uncomfortable walking on after dark, that should be manifestly known to those that investigate the concern. The President is either correct or not in disparaging the home district of one of his most vociferous critics. 

If the district actually is in good repair with a low crime rate, and if the Congressman has brought spending to his district that catalyzed average national employment rates within it, if there are few visible areas with garbage strewn about and illegal drug use is not common then the President owes the Congressman and apology. If it is in a sorry state House Speaker and others owe the President and apology for calling him racist for pointing out the faults of the work of one of his major attackers presently, for he was only speaking the truth.
