Popular Science for November 2011 (page 91) reported that the 2008 earthquake in china's Sichuan province that left nearly 5 million people homeless was caused by the water behind the dam pressing on a seismic fault line. Concerned citizens have raised concerns of similar earthquake pricipitation by the construction of a potential huge multi-billion dollar dam on Alaska's Susitna River-an area known to be in an active geological fault prone region not too far from the National earthquake Data Center office Alaska branch facility.

Gov. Parnell signs legislation to fund Susitna Dam study

A few Alaskans have experienced the decade of problems to Columbia River fisheries created by Columbia river hydroelectric dam building and have offered alternative ideas for providing energy for the Fairbanks to Anchorage region. The area has rich geothermal potential, wind, solar and hydrogen fuel cell sub-station possibilities that could be made far less likwely to devastate fish habitat, game units or stimulate devastating Earthquakes and downriver floods. Of course dam building is as old as beaver technology so its hard to get politicians to move into new and less harmfell methods of producing energy.

A Susitna river dam may significantly alter wieght upon crustal plates, accellerate global warming, alter oxygen levels in the river and impede the migration of fish. Fish generally hate to go up fish ladders that politicians like to extoll as the express lane for easy fish travel.

Iran, Atomic Bomb development and Ineffective U.S. Foreign Policy

The Clinton administration notably failed to prevent North Korea from developing atomic weapons, the world has survived these years since, though perhaps,, just barely. It is not certain that if Iran develops nuclear weapons that it will use them liberally as soon as possible. One might hope that the U.S. political conversation with Iran could take more positive turns even as it has its belligerant and even bellicose interactive posture (it may be necessary I cannot say).

If or when Iran develops an atomic bomb what difference will it make to regional security and diplomacy? Does the United States typically have a correct or effective, just or logical policy approach to Iran vis security and bilateral relations?

Most politically minded Americans are a little aware of the U.S. history with Iran. Until we appeared to have reinforced a coup by a nearly deposed Shah to rid the increasingly democratic majlis (congress) and Prime Minister Mosadeq we were on fairly good terms. In fact the Iranian government had previously hired an American economist to be their advisor on budgetary matters (possibly not a good idea these days).

Evidently President Eisenhower was advised that the dangers of communist takeover of Parliament in Iran were too much to tolerate and so we developed an antipathetic policy toward the Iranian democratic evolution, and have been on the wrong side since through the last Shah of the Pahlavi dynasty. Paradoxically it was leftist sympathy for the Ayatollah Khomeini that helped the fundamentalist Shi'a clergy take power.

If Iran develops atomic bombs it will change the Sunni-Shia nuclear balance presently in favor of Pakistan and the Sunni. It would mean that the Northern Alliance Shia would have a kind of proxy Shia co-religionist nuclear power next door to offset the Pakistani nuclear coreligionists that have supported the Taliban and other national terrorist groups.

The United States should develop more into9lligent rather than inertially driven Iranian policy in order to help move toward better relations rather than perennially toward war. The Iranian Prime Minister may be voted out or run into term limits, and changes can occur. The Indian, Shi, Sunni atomic power balance along with China and Russia make for fairly interesting international relations scenarios.

Iran has for more than 500 years been a center for the development of civilization. Early artful carvings of Shahdad circa 2400 B.C. provide some examples of ancient hetero relationships as a social topic. Travel through Iran in ancient times was a natural course in the journey of mankind. With a better U.S. policy of progressive diplomacy-at the least a different tone, it should be possible to find a better way of exiting the interminable bilateral monologues of political speech flowing toward the public and past the U.S.A. and Iran.

The fact that the United States seems to have an amateurish and/or churlish attitude toward Iran is not to say that Iranian domestic or international policies are either good or bad. It simply is a criticism of the low level of competence in U.S. diplomacy as well as in domestic economic management that has continued several decades.

Will Iran be a threat to Israel with atomic weapons? They would know that Israel would survive a nuclear attack to launch a devastating retaliation upon all Iranian cities were vaporizing. Iran would have a nuclear deterrent that would limit its options in turn in engaging in conventional wars with its neighbors, yet it hasn't started a war with anyone since the late wars with the Tsar of Russia I( believe, and that did not go well.

The United States may or may not man up to destroying Iranian atomic weapons capability, but it can at least smile and have a good and fuller attitude even so. Iran may believe that the United States has no possibility of launching a pre-emptory anti-atomic bomb construction nuclear strike, yet it certainly won't be bluffed into stopping its development program in the meantime. Many of the world’s nations are rather undisturbed about the possibility that commands so much attention in the U.S.A.

If the United States had its oars in the water on domestic budget, energy and ecospheric management, if the U*.S.A. wasn't in the long run process of concentrating wealth and impoverishing most Americans, or at least stagnating a balanced distribution of wealth., if the government wasn't something of a yippee tool for the rich the perpetual concern with Iran might be taken more seriously as if the government of the United States was competent and not just deficit spenders with lots of big standoff weapons of immense power. One wishes the U.S. government would at least offer a continues open door to Iran to develop better relations from a menu of realistic trade and education avenues should they decide to do so, instead of presenting an all or nothing approach to what is for Washington an appropriately small belligerent power worthy of decades of ineffective discourse by politicians.

Slithy Toves of Power ©2011GARY CLIFFORD GIBSON

Viewed from the Earth the moon looked the same as it had thirty years ago before the rush to development ramped up with a profusion of atomic powered electro-magnetic mass drivers built n Earth and the moon. U.N. resolution Alpha-Lunar 1737 declared there could be no net change of the lunar albedo pattern index from the baseline year that the effect on the Earth might not be changed. Neither was the gross weight of the moon permitted to increase or decrease. Imports and exports must be neutrally balanced.

Well, reflected Saul Ehrenfrist, we got the best of that exchange exporting quality mass an importing quality cash. Viewed from the moon, the Earth did not look the same as it did thirty years before. The line of desiccation and burning grass fires expanding the brown regions northward and south from the equator to 50 degrees north and south latitude. Without vast freshwater making evaporation sea canals to water agriculture the population chaos and line of control diminished visibly over the video-history app. Saul regarded his sub-surface far at New Jerusalem on Pluto for a second then returned to contemplation of old world issues

With the foreign policy of the United States particularly inept at fiscal efficiency, and with domestic economic management equally ineffective it became a good idea to consider new directions in U.S. immigration policy.

Antigen immigrants from the high country of Central Asia were brought in by the millions to counteract a moral infection spread by a Democratic party. Democrats had brought in millions of left-leaning voters so Republicans felt turnabout was fair play.

The Democratic Party had accomplished little the past several decades to reform the national economy. They acquiesced in a western people to padrone utopia for CEO’S. The rich led the party and wheedled for homophagic power. It led the way in to deeper moral decline.

Democratic homophages reinforced the padrone’s peonization of culture aborting hypothetical business and political competition. Some remaining conservative nationalist Republicans passed a law beginning a new age, slowly. The immigration of millions of elite Moslems including families of Omar to the city of Nizhny Omar in Massachusetts created a dynamic moral tension in politics stimulating escalation of off-whirled industrial activity.

Lunar construction of agricultural colonies stimulated extra-terrestrial atomic energy business to empower sealed-under- polarized-glass agri-grow fields of highly productive organic farms. The Omar control tower at New Omar guided New Wranglers robotic space-craft round-up of incoming comets nearing the inner solar system to intercept and change the water ice toward more felicitous melt-down orbital storage around the moon.

Water recycled within the sealed lunar glass agri-domes moved through the completely efficient organic plant growth cycle with enhanced temperature and atmospheric content regulation. The lunar regolith lacked the viruses by the millions that existed on Earth allowing a variety of new growing processes to be actualized phenomenally.

The Earth stagnation in Toynbeen fin de sicle phenomenalites set loose a number of forms of homophages at social war upon the pre-existing social structures as if annihilation of structure and reason could solve the technical challenges of too many people inefficiently consuming limited resources. For a decade the importation of plant food to Earth from the moon’s rich organic farms stabilized and reduced the increasing planetary starvation reaching billions of people.

Taking a new direction toward a revitalized spiritual polity is not a bad thing. Science and philosophy may continue, and perhaps the decline of the west under the overweening moral decadence of godless atheism can be arrested, the dynamics of intelligent social governance requires an election of leaders of a quality rarely found unfortunately.

The hedonistic concentration of wealth led by U.S. historical incompetence was a serious factor of political malpractice that worked against the three millennia of western liberalism that sought to bring equal political and social standing to mankind enslaved by aristocrats and dictators.

The Moslem world was in the process of revolting en mass in a populism that continued a few decades. Communist China moved toward limited free enterprise yet kept the controlling power of governance in the interests of the masses, Europe experienced a retrograde concentration of wealth and returned to its historical cycle of evolutionary wars of liberation-all of these people resisted the direction of concentrating wealth for one reason or another.

Directional microwaves warmed the atmosphere in living domes directly, mineral slurries exchanged heat in pipe from atomic power plants before being super-cooled running in the vacuum outside on the return to the power generators. Most of the lunar construction used implicitly photon energy generating nano-technology and in the low temperature super-conducting circuits were the usual.

Christians were able to adapt in a Moslem friendly moral atmosphere more readily than in the atheist friendly environment that produced so many homophage political legislative actions. Christian hierarchy transitioned toward a priesthood of believers rather than a hierarchical clergy, and like the Moslem immigrants of the United States who sent employment remittances to relatives in Afghanistan and Kurdistan stabilizing the political environment at a distance, sent non-homophagic ruled remittance money down to Earth to reinforce challenged small scale free enterprise.

At a terrace table on an extrusion from the maze of lunar salmon habitat water storage tunnels Saul read from an e-book of the library of genetic registry on the ancestry of salmon living in tunnels and underground aquifers of the moon, Mars and Pluto. He considered the elementus regulus advocates insinuating Earth continuum environments around the solar system to be the best voices for political liberty today. The list of free flowing bio-transfer life forms developing away from the Earth and its usual gravity was substantial. The life forms changed and the presence of ancillary life forms to adapt to ecospheric increase requirements was a continuum for-itself. The new life forms increasingly adapted to the input of Zulu world minerals and exo-material factors. The main problem in natural adaptation was the intentional anti-human phages attacking the health of reason for-itself sociologically. Maintenance of a spirit of the times cognizant of human integrity and the exo-designs supporting an increase of a human friendly exo-ecosphere required delimitation of homophages to channels with other predators. Predators are part of any ecosphere; after all it’s a matter of perspective, yet predation does degrade the primary opportunity for use of human reason in designing an exo-biological ecosphere under God commensurate with high quality and advancing human civilization.

Saul walked to a window overlooking the crater floor a thousand feet below the lunar surface. His white nylon thobe caught a breeze from the thermals of the drying season cycle and gracefully flowed toward the catchment streams of a dialectical series of which he wondered.

The dialect of material theory formed in structural abstract paradigms of thought. G.W.F. Hegel could reasonably contemplate dialectical evolution of spirit as the languages of the Logos are words of immanent purpose. Teleos take the form of a language dialect of spirit. The words providing meaning actualize as structure. Karl Max never understood the dialectical spirit of materials foundation. Leibniz reached most closely in theoretical physics until the modern age at inducting an insight into the nature of reality as one-dimensional spiritual monads. M-Theory offered the concepts of strings and membranes of one dimension ground n extra-dimensional configurations. At the fundamental stage spirit issues a waveform modality through the space time appearance of mass and energy. The dialectical phase of the language of experience changes in order to fulfill the purpose of The Spirit.

The spirit actualizing purpose through ordered sequential change implicit through space-time presented myriad possibilities for reason to advance ideas of understanding. For what greater purpose comprehension of material foundations of cosmic quantum structures should be in part learned and understood by mankind as a dialect of physical thought he did not know. In the proximal beginning of Universe 1 energy compacted most fully would be entirely ossified as mass reduced to most minimal unchanging size It would have no release of energy as radiation. It would b undifferentiated membrane without temporality, gravity or extraneous physical forces. That infinitely compact bit of all possible mass set aside for the lifetime of Universe 1 would await the dialect of the spirit speaking to shape and release its energy converted into space time expansion flowing until the purpose of creation was done.

In the solar system Saul realized, the book of ecosphere changes inventoried billions of life forms and life form segments-viruses that lived only within other life forms and social structures. Phages; attackers upon contemporary life forms, were also inventoried and illuminated for Saul the fundamental paradox of life existing organically as a network of contradictory impulses evolving the ecosphere to increase its overall mass upon the inorganic foundation serving as its essential host. Saul could not comprehend how the homophages of the Eastern liberal establishment of the United States could fail to understand that its radically anti-heterosexual nature destroying individual civil rights and free enterprise through corporate and federal tyranny was reducing the gross dimensional area and diversity of the endo and exo ecosphere with endo and exo phages promotion.

Saul left his contemplations and moved to an elevator to the crater rim view deck more than three thousand feet above. As he looked at the Earth beyond considering its foolishness he resolved once more to survive to restore its verdant Gaia after Lemmingway brought the population crash to its basic Lovelock reduction stability level of 200 million. Nothing could be done before he knew. The illogical, unnecessary destruction of the biosphere and most of Earth’s humanity would run its course.

Bugetageddon Approaches

The Congressional super-committee to balance the federal budget has just two weeks to produce before automatic cuts trim 600 billion of defense pork from the federal budget along with Draconian cuts to social services.

Independent voters have hopes that a rapture will happen before the prophesied doom to lift them from the bi-partisan political impudence and deliver the heaven of full employment, free medical and recovering ecosphere in the happy voter ground.

In the Budgetageddon talks Republicans have asked Democrats to sell their souls to the devil and accept a mark-o-the-beast 999 plan, and Democrats have replied asking Republicans to have comprehensive sex change operations. The positions of the two parties are thus still far enough apart that agreement is not anticipated.

Insiders have leaked negotiations on a possibility compromise wherein fertilized human conservative eggs are implanted in liberated hog surrogates to free-up transgender patented starts by Evil Super committee of Doom.

Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina said that he will not accept defense cuts (his state survives on defense spending). Legislators plan to scuttle the automatic cuts of Budgetageddon and transfer several trillion dollars of debt to Greece and Italy too if Greece is topped up with debt and lacking additional sink capacity.

President Obama has viewed the budget impasse with impatience and has invested his time on fulfilling his 2008 campaign pledge of outsourcing U.S. Justice proceedings offshore to Guantanamo Bay. The Supreme Court of Harvard is expected to move into a new time-share soon after Pilipino laborers relocated from Nepal working for a no-bid defense contractor leave the North Slope and pour a few more concrete columns with a modicum of fiduciary entasis at Gitmo. The President said ‘police agencies have the right to place tracking sticky-chips on citizen-pets in order to track their potential for evading shopping at Wal-Mart, but not the right to place g.p.s. tracking devices on cars without warrants because anyone else could too and they might find out where federal automobiles really go.’

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/11/08/as-super-committee-deadline-nears-tax-reforms-become-focus-point/

A Flat progressive tax with differential rates for rich, middle class and poor is the obvious fair way to go on tax reform, and thus the least evident and most hidden from the committee. The 70-20-1 plan as it is known is not in consideration because it is rational.

Political Philosophy & Social Design

Social governance of a democratic constitution arises through design rather than evolution. Tribal environments may evolve strong men, feudal nobles or even dictators and hereditary monarchs yet creation of social and legal egalitarianism requires philosophical reason to innovate and continue a national zeitgeist reinforcing a productive and coherent free enterprising individualism concatenated.

Plato and Aristotle recognized the malleability of political constructions comprising a nation or city-state. Plato elucidated the design of a Republic abstracted from the Spartan city-state idealized as neo-fascism. The support of Socrates for the restoration of oligarchy led the demos to order his execution for corrupting youth. Plato, his student and associate, wrote of an ideal Republic. Aristotle developed the idea of historical cycles of forms of government in his book 'The Politics'. That idea has continued through 20th century philosophers of history such as Oswald Spengler and Arnold Toynbee.

The design of optimal political structures insinuated into the necessarily evolving state of political arrangements as they are is challenging. Social government has an ideal constitution in some regards that is separate from the actual facts of social reality. Social reality finds its own Taoist flow through the water courses of history with social members often in opposition to or incognizance of the requirements of readjusting course and elevation of governance for the aircraft of state to maintain a productive course through time.

The United States polity can regard its political prospects as requiring adjustment through legislation capable of renormalizing the egalitarian and equal opportunity prospects of its citizens. The nation requires secure borders, a stable population, a healthy environment and freedom from extreme political outsourcing of power and wealth.

Taxation may be changed as needed to reduce the inimical concentration of wealth and power through global networks, to restore the national ecospheric health and to transition into a more efficient national economic system with greater productivity from fewer resources.

There is no good reason to believe that the national interest is best advanced by concentrating wealth within a loosely evolutionary rational of feudalism, organized crime, atheistic feudalism nor pseudo theocratic hierarchialization.

Free enterprise for Adam Smith and David Hume would have been the better way to free society from concentrated wealth and power rather than to reinforce it. Designing governance today that brings into effect the most efficient American national economy possible is a process like that taken by Plato or the founders of the United States. Design of political course corrections that will enable the most Americans possible to save capital and to creatively invest in their own free enterprises without the presence of pervasive wealth network snares and cooption of opportunity is a challenging task. The fundamental goals and parameters for change to fulfill national political are not so difficult to express.

Intermediate size corporations ought to be the largest allowed. Ten thousand employees should be the limit for corporate growth. Quality instead of quantity should be the basic way to advance. Taxation on those earning more than 250,000 dollars annually should be at 70% and on the middle class just 20% and 1% for the poor. With more capital concentration for the poor and middle class and with fewer pre-emptory financial networks the growth of new free enterprises and acceleration of quality in competition should increase.

The United States today has a totalized economy from which no one is exempt. It assumes a course of development toward concentration of wealth through neglect and corruption. To return the economy to ecospheric and economic efficiency will require intention and design.

No citizen should own shares of stock in more than three corporations. When the federal debt is repaid excess federal income can be invested in ecospheric rehabilitation, education, space exploration and technological prize incentives/competitions. Full employment should be a normal goal of American political design along with comprehension of function social safety net. Citizens should have lifetime medical care and no problem for basics like shelter and food, privacy and communications in order that they might be free to be as inventive and productive as possible without lengthy years of 'down-time' when only the rich concentrating wealth and the upper middle class mirthfully enjoy comfort and the increase of political power.
As a nation the U.S.A. can set basic political goals and continuously strive like an ancient Sparta or Athens to actualize the ideal state of well-being of all citizens. This does not mean that government should create a philosophical utopia along hedonist or utilitarian lines; it simply requires that the nation forego the attractions of anarchy, neglect and feudalism or tyranny and rationally implement legislation to renormalize the functions of government to reinforce the best systems analysis mechanistic functions it can.

The U.S.A. is like a plane in flight that requires political pilot to maintain a competent course and safely journey with all the passenger citizens comfortable enough to work on their own wireless devices without excessive turbulence or cabin packing of the poor with goats an manure, no coffee, sugar, snacks or nice hostesses. It does not mean that no first class cabin can exist or that the economy class must get free Omaha steaks, truffles and Orange Julius'. It just means that all Americans are in the dreamliner together (although many defect to invest in China, India or the Cayman Islands and Deposit in Swiss banks to be sure) and the entire experience should be functional for all-and not just what the Rush Limbaugh’s and other millionaire and billionaires believe is o.k. for the passengers in the aft should be (pack them in like cord wood tranquilized and sprayed with sanitizer?).

If there is an art of politics that advances social interests toward fulfillment of select basic functions of national eco-economic efficiency it will work through design rather than accident. If evolution becomes a political excuse for any sort of corruption and abnegation of competent predication of language, material and spiritual goal through the bandwidth and broadcast media it is the rich that will concentrate wealth as the main prevailing survivors through all the smoke, mirrors and deceit. An art of politics that rectifies national purpose toward the realistic social and economic principles of the founders within the contemporary totalized economic environment that is restorative of privacy and freedom necessary socially for economic and spiritual prosperity must also lead the people toward conservation and recovery of the natural environment that under God is the ecosphere in which life on Earth exists for no at least, in health if not long range sustainability. This is no time for corporate feudalism and atheistic industrial or bureaucratic existentialism/consumerism.

Progress Tripartite Flat Tax to Assault Wealth Gap

Old billionaires and millionaires swell the average income of the elderly over all. Most of the young don't accumulate their first million until after age 35, and so of us of course never achieve that milestone.

http://www.usatoday.com/money/economy/income/story/2011-11-06/wealth-gap-young-old/51098910/1

These sorts of headlines highlight congressional inability to employ right reasoning on making a nation work properly. The elderly are of course inclusive of the most wealthy, so the figures are quite inflated. neither do the statistics show the relationship of youth who are heirs to the wealthy. If Americans accept stupidity as their norm they shall have stupid government in default structured to reinforce the rich who will concentrate wealthy and provide pablum through their media to the masses.

A progressive flat tax would help to remedy the problem of increasing concentration of wealth and power in the U.S.A. Those earning more than 200,000 annually should be taxed a flat 70%. The middle class should pay a flat 20% and the poor a flat 1%. political decisions to reallocate public capital should be through legislative programs rather than through variable tax rates.

Though numerous legislative corrections to the U.S. political system are required to bring the nation to continual full employment, minimum guaranteed income and comprehensive medical coverage for all citizens and legal residents including securing the borders against illegal immigration, the most challenging and yet obvious task immediately available is to restore social security, medicare and medicaid as social safety nets with means tests requisite for using the public programs.

A nation that is as daft on public policy as the United States destroys its share of the ecosphere, incurs vast public debts, keeps college graduates underemployed, spends profligately on ill managed foreign wars, decays its moral constitution, allows wealth to be concentrated and so forth.

Public health for the poor at no cost is required for Americans of all ages. No program for a free public health service for the poor and all veterans now exists, and Americans through insurance, H.M.O.'s and other programs will continue to send their money abroad to foreign health service providers-completely idiotic non-pragmatic policies that Presidents as recently as Eisenhower and F.D.R. would have recognized and rejected for profligacy.

The Poetic Truth Value of Sets ©2011GaryCGibson (poem)

Sets of members bracketed
like seasons cover the expanse
of ideas that shimmer as reasons
congruent with space-time chance

One or more element satisfies each true predication
in membership as literal values
non-contradictory with circumstance logical use and structure of words
placed in object language as signs

Where words fade away as abstract reps
descriptions of real things valid till past
relativity and time erase place-time's meaning

Set theoretic descriptions reduce
unto a solitary dreamer's dreaming
of empty sets corresponding to no one
about a universe with God's instructions

When enough of particles and procedures
claiming that for every A there is at least one Z
something one finds in a set of alphabetized construction elements
with numbers in standing cliff-waves
crumbling in timed talus slopes
refutation of properties of temporality
valued as negations of temporal order
bring new sets elemental descriptions
with beautiful attributes
up to this present
as falsehoods of errant descriptions
serve no more to silhouette truth
when a social reality of nothing
with transcending, inerrant truth wasn't possible
the Lord, Father and Holy Spirit arise
as transcending object language in-themselves...the eternal, necessary Truth.

EuroZone/Greek Economic Crisis Saga…

EuroZone/Greek Economic Crisis Saga… is a sign on disintegrated management structure overall in the evolving effort to nationalize Euopean society. Europe is beset by many extralateral issues from beyond its borders from illegal immigration to terrorism, pollution and a non-renewable economic structure of course, and Greece has problems of losing its ethnic identity as its people move to London in search of good jobs.

Protracted Greek public debt issues appended more intrigue and pathos onto the post cold war western economic malaise. Overcoming the bunk inducing irrational exuberance of the 1990s by piling up debt instead of slowly building a new sustainable economic infrastructure the current crisis exemplifies the non-systems analytical ad hoc management style so useful to quant profit taking from a distance. Reform is required to stabilize European economic progress.

Additional economic operations feedback loops should be elucidated to reinforce full Eurozone employment where it lags behind. Greece would benefit from Eurozone high tech construction and energy development investment as well as sustainable agriculture experimentation if a Europool Tech Fund existed as a feedback mechanism to kick in and flow finance and support to member states with high unemployment and debt issues. Eurozone economic policy must be more than old style financial management such that other, substantial cultural development is included as well.

Europool prosperity within a sustainable ecospheric recovery paradigm might rightly include Russia as well if it so desires. One can envision significant employment developing from a TGV line construction from Moscow to Warsaw, Berlin and Paris. More than applying slick paper-electron financial gimmicks to the Greek crisis, solid functioning direct investment to employ thousands in new research and development ventures that might benefit world living efforts in first and third world nations ought to be started. The Agora venture to relieve Greece fro debt and monetary malaise may occur with directed technological investment for an essential Eurozone regional Employment stabilization fund. Americans could benefit too from the example of an effective governing response-feedback mechanism for regional investment that stimulates local employment within green parameters as a normal duty of good governance. From housing to transport, in food production to water-making there should be a road of fields to put people to work in productively even if for the term of five years.

Alaska Governor Seeks to Invalidate Election That Saved Bristol Bay Alaska from One Sort of Eco-Doom

An election to ban development of extraction industries that may adversely impact Bristol Bay salmon streams approved the measure to the consternation of a global mining corporation seeking to start a vast open pit mine in the headwaters drainage of pristine Bristol Bay. The majority of the voters of the affected region voted in favor of banning development by a group including an Anglo-American mining corporation originating in South Africa’s past.

Alaska Governor Sean Parnell has directed his Attorney General to take steps to invalidate the vote throwing democracy under the train in preferring bondage to the dark forces of ecospheric doom.

The corporate world has many political monkeys on strings to do their bidding. The Alaska Governor-an honorable man-should cut himself free of the pulling the strings of strings of corporate control manipulating him effectively as Don Corleone might have in the corrupt days of yore. Governor Parnell ought to respect democracy and quit playing the bully abusing the electorate of Bristol Bay.

The effort to save Bristol Bay with a public vote had more than a year of hard work put into the election phase. The wealthy global extraction schemers must have believed the rural hicks would be a political pushover. They took out many radio ads in support of development yet didn’t say they had the state Governor in their pocket who would overturn the vote if they lost. It would have been fairer if Governor Parnell had said before the election that if the people didn’t vote the way he said that he would use the power of the state to annihilate the vote and eventually the living vitality of Bristol Bay. The opportunity cost of wasting one’s time when there isn’t a real chance to win can be high.

Two-Hundred fifty million years ago 90% of the life in the world ocean was exterminated probably by two high of level of carbonic acid. The construction of vast open pit mines in the head waters of Bristol Bay may accelerate the pooling of carbonic acid in the world ocean, as well as leaching potentially toxic heavy metals into streams and the Bay for several hundred or thousand years. Heavy metal pollutants can cause deformities and mutations in fish that survive toxic acid increases.

berengia and Illiquidity Risk Models

Illiquidity is a phenomena that occurs when uncertain arises in valuing material trade goods. Since trade goods have risen to include home mortgages as well as commerical buildings and much of everything else since the end of the cold war uncertainty in assigning correct values to articles is a serious risk.

Risk models are what are used by financial forecasters in determing the worthiness of making an investment in anything. Since values have a social relativism implicitly-the value of a widget or an appearance by a celebrity to speak at an event changes from day to day and in relation to the complete complex of compresence of the social trade ensemble of the day, risk modeling must have recursive uncertainty in-itself.

I was reading the new Scientific American (November 2010) and encountered several interresting articles including one upon risk modeling and its 2007-2008 Wall Street crash influence and found a report that the financial trade sector is still a black box-quite non-transparent. It is very difficult to speculate about what sort of business is going on. I believe about 44 trillion dollars of cash transaction occur on Earth each day however-so ran a blurb I read elesewhere. Obviously concatenated crashes are an implicit element of the modern global economy.

Ideally modern economies would revise away from the drift into dialectical transactions politically enabled by the computer communications era that seem to lead toward global concentration of wealth and power-with local manifestations of left-right politics acting as thesis-counterthesis engines to advances toward the Utopia of absolute power envisioned by meglomaniacs historically. Reforming capitalism seems tobe an impossibility though. Limiting the size of corproations to intermediate with just 10,000 employees, limiting the number of corproations anyone could buy into at three, recovering nationalism as a way for politically appropriate environmental and political recovery and management; even full employment as a cultural goal needs to be made a pragmatic cultural affair if the computerized impersonalization of the global totalization of economics is to be brokken up and firewalls installed.

Risk management's failures at systems analysis comprehensiveness was mentioned as an essential fault of the practice of mathematical modeling. If it is better to use volcanic magma flows to dike ut both sides of the Bering Sea in order to pump out the trapped water and restore the lost semi-continent of Berengia that once linked Siberia and Alaska to cool down Actic Ocean and reduce global warming it would not be a project the present political economy could contemplate in the U.S.A. Neither could it conserve the health of the Arctic Ocean, develop desalinized water producing saltwater evaporation-condensation canals in Texas to produce irrigation water or reverse the exemption to the Clean Water Act allowing fracking that was passed into law in 2004.

Risk management today is set poltiically to assure that only the present way of doing things and kicking back to the global network is reinforced. If modern urban skyscrapers are implicitly flimsy building at risk of reduction by military assault, no political capacity would exist to build reinforced hollow mountain ranges for society to live within instead-actually nothing that would reform the existing economic and social structure significantly and for the good seems possible.

Risk management principles applied to global warming would seem to indicate that the risk of failing to reform outweighs the harm risked economically by moving to new social-economic construction priorities. Logical risk assessment seems mostly trusted when the criteria are those necessary to produce chocolate cake.

Herman Cain to Counterattack Those 'Seeking to Destroy Him'

Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain has had some difficulties in prime-timing his candicy for President. With the Politico revelation of Cains history of two sexual harrassment settlements while he was CEO of the National Restaurant Association the public interest has increases in his background. Mr. Cain should not believe that those jourmalists investigating his background because he is a Presidential candidate are trying to destroy him or even his candidacy-the language seems somewhat paranoid or hyperbole at least.

Mr. Cain should have rightly revealed his historical liabilities for running for office himself as a complete disclosure at the start of his campaign instead of waiting for sexual harrassment settlements to be discovered by investigative reporters. He denies that he harrassed the two women at all now, yet that isn't a terribly convincing political tactic these days after so many other male politicians from John Edwards to Bill Clinton have done the same.

http://www.cnn.com/2011/11/02/politics/cain-allegations/

Mr. Cain also might realize that to deny the veracity of the harrassment charges requires falsification of the claims of the women-not a tactic likely to get female support at the polls. Some male workers might wished they were harrassed a little more sexually by nice looking female bosses, yet the opposite situation doesn't prevail at all, and male bosses and polticians need to take all of that sex harrassment training in the corproate world seriously and keep a high quality video-audio camera with them to record any potentially compromising situations that they might need impartial witness of.

Perhaps the corporate world gives out five figure settlements to women all the time, easily for sexual harrassment allegations since CEO's are such generous people at least with their own pay packages and golden parachutes. The public has a different opinion these days though about Wall Streets throwing the ordinary American worker under the busses if Corporatists can make a profit on it.

Scientists Will Try to Prove Existence of Faster Than Light Neutrinos Again

Particle physicists at CERN are rerunning an experiment that produced the unusual results( news released in September 2011) that neutrinos sent 720 or 730 kilometers away to a facility in Italy were arriving a little bit faster than light speed.

Using shorter pulses of neutrinos to offset potential measuring deformations on devices caused by local gravitational field variations (possibly) the results of the new series of tests will be released in a few weeks.

Two experimental projects based in Gran Sasso Italy are directly making observations upon the momentum (speed) and behavior (quality) of arriving neutrinos. OPERA is the group that discovered the superluminal arrival time, while ICARUS scientists have noticed that the neutrinos do not conform to a prediction by two Boston University physicists that the neutrinos traveling faster than light ought to give up some energy as do photons traveling through water where light speed is slower than in a vacuum.

I would think that particles traveling faster than light should have no mass at all; their pure energy might be converted into a dimensional field and be just information.

Glashow and Cohen of Boston U. seem to believe that if the neutrinos are traveling faster than light through a slow medium they should also give up some pairs of particles (energy). other theoretical physicists offer the opinion that the particles might travel a shorter distance through extra dimensional shortcuts (like flying through the Earth rather than over its surface to an opposite spot on the globe).

When Class Wealth Increases 275%, So Does Political Power

Recent studies have found that over the past three decade’s wealth and political power of the rich-those with earnings in the highest one percent of income in U.S.A. increased 275% over three decades.

Political affluence increases collaterally with monetary affluence through the ability to buy political influence and toy with economically reliant sub-structures.

The wealthy control the broadcast media left and right. Talk radio millionaires program their sycophants on how to vote. Herman Cain, Bill Clinton and Tiger Woods sex allegations are given the optimal politically correct spin so they become warm and fuzzy creatures or threatening, abusive exploiters of the innocent. The media preponderantly determines the direction national political debate goes.

Costs for the middle class and poor have risen markedly for housing and health provisioning the last three decades. Employers have eliminated innumerable health insurance benefits transferring the cost to government and individuals. Now they want to cut government social spending and provide tax cuts for the wealthy and tax increases on the poor-even a national sales tax trivial to the rich and devastating for the poor.

The federal government has not stepped up to the plate to fight for a public health service for the poor and Veterans able the serve as a national emergency hospital infrastructure in event of unforeseeable global designer biological attack made by rogue corporate bio researchers.
The wealthy have supersized on easy global pickins since 1990 including the U.S.A. outsourcing business and factories as if they were the Red Army in Germany after World War II relocating German industry to Russia.

The first year of the New World Order in 1990 accelerated U.S. industrial invention arterial sclerosis. Corporate owners and workers grew apart as cheap global labor made investing in China, India and elsewhere a better profit prospect. The Clinton year taught Americans to flip burgers and take on debt while the wealthy were experiencing the problem of financial obesity.

The rich are in danger of fat-headedness and fiduciary cholesterol cutting off money supply to extreme, distal poor members of society.
Wealth concentrates in big shareholder and CEO heads without regard for the masses of unemployed and underemployed American workers. Like addicts in opium dens the wealthy experience a dreamliner financial reality without regard for conditions of deterioration of the position of the United States in the World as an independent, social leading nation.

In Anchorage Alaska Mayor Sullivan has asked the state government for a gift of 350 million dollars to complete a port construction expansion project over-budget and overdue that is supervised by a former state governor and millionaire former owner of hotels sold to Westours/Westmark and the Carnival cruise line I believe. The present Governor of Alaska also led an effort to cut taxes on cruise ships including the Carnival subsidiary Holland line. Meanwhile Mayor Sullivan has forced the eviction of Anchorage's homeless from city parks with just a few days notice even in winter.

Anchorage has become a city buy and for the corporate world that extracts Alaska resources. It also has military spending. With fewer churches per capita than any other major American city it also has moved more toward godlessness.

The Brother Francis homeless shelter and the nearby Bean's Cafe is the basic alternative for camping in Anchorage in the winter for the very poor. It is quite overcrowded and the Mayor has not asked the state for a gift of a million or two for construction of a video supervised safe outdoor camping facility for the broke.

On an average cold winter night when the temperature is zero degrees Fahrenheit the homeless sleep elbow to elbow on mats on the entire floor of the facility-a good way to share pneumonia, SARs, TB and whatever other respiratory virus is going around, brought perhaps from distant Arctic villages, visiting Bloods from L.A., hit men from corporations searching for political dissidents rounded up at the homeless shelter to beat up or East Coast sex tourists looking for wild game.

The shelter is very overcrowded and excess bodies yearning to breathe free spills over into Bean's Cafe nearby with the floor there too sometimes becoming full. If a dead body with smallpox from the early 20th century epidemic ever emerges because of global warming melting of Arctic village snowfields and is discovered by a poor rural Alaskan on his way to stay in Anchorage like as not the crowded Brother Francis shelter is the first place it virus would turn up. All homeless people should have complete free medical care if for no other reason than to combat potential respiratory epidemics.

Mayor Sullivan might have requested an emergency state grant to have a monolithic concrete dome shelter built on one of numerous city properties, and a library for the south side too for those homeless readers of books and cut back the scale of the free money request from the too obliging state Governor Parnell and the Alaska Legislature that seems to want to build facilities most useful to cruise ships and importers of cheap Chinese goods off-loaded from Chinese built ships-they have more than 200 shipyards these days.

The American middle class was said to have increased its wealth by an average 40% the past three decades while the poor, I believe became poorer. The middle class figure is actually misleading; for white men the income declined the past three decades adjusted for the value of the dollar then and now.

More women and minorities entered the workforce and the middle class and that made the number reported overall seem to increase. As long as there is a continuing new cheaper labor supply to subvert wage raise demands of the middle class the rich can continue to concentrate wealth.
Concentrating wealth is something like increasing the grade of a slope of a pit into which water from the surrounding area flows.

The U.S. top one-percent have seemed to encourage and industrial existentialism worldview without regard for the health of the environment. For example, a lumber mill at Wrangell Alaska processed about a half a trillion board feet of old growth lumber between the 1950s and 1994 with fewer than 300 employees including longshoremen loading the vanishing rainforest old growth onto foreign ships.

Corporate profit seeking encouraged industrial bio-existentialism over global environmentalism in order to avoid creating a class consciousness of conservation of finite, valuable environmental networks. Degrading environmental effects of concentrating wealth require and existential shallowness in global warming denial and over-use of finite resources, pollution in extraction industry, over-fishing and collateral extermination of species in building development.

If water is regarded as money and the rich are those accumulating it at the bottom of the pit it is easy to comprehend that the money and power accumulates faster as the size of the excavation or establishment of financial networks increases. The deep and broad pit overcomes and drowns out the poor, expendable miners first and later the middle class as the ocean of wealth and power of the dominant one percent globally overcomes world political systems morphing into being the perfect corporate Leviathan.

Life Form Energy Packets ©2011GaryCGibson (a science fiction short story)

Sometime in September Hyron Forty-Seven noticed a faster-than-light neutrino stream of consciousness video input on the cold dark matter telescope input screen stimulating a scramble to be the first to announce to the world a discovery of life on another world. At least it was assumed a world-rock was the foundation of the equilibrium of intelligent beings capable of reasoning like us.

Quantum computing simulations of the digital input made video meaning paradigms of the neutrino-input stream within a variety of logical linguistic structures converting those to meaningful video assuming that only a finite number of visual structures and structural relations exist within any given finite band of wavelength selected for observation.

Soon Hyron Forty-Seven's team management superiors determined that the alien communication form was just one-hundred seventy-nine light years away and awaiting earth visitation. They boldly choose to go where no Earthers had gone before-the aliens provided instructions for construction of a neutrino drive-ram adaptable to any sub-light speed space craft to put it over the edge of light speed.

At the Chicago Pizza Spaceflight headquarters systems managers spent several weeks collecting the best samples of Earth energy trade materials to induce alien life forms to sign trade contracts. Tyrannosaur One, a liquid fueled rocket carrying seventeen universonauts and five tons of cargo looked bloated around the middle with a neutrino ex post facto field simulator made to catch faster than light neutrinos and convert them into mass carrying particles submerging the Tyrannosaur One in the non-local faster than light field in the exchange of massless to massful particles.

Within minutes of switching on the neutrino exchange engine Tyrannosaur One arrived at a cold, dark moon orbiting a neutron star. The ship rested on a platform bathed in cold blue-grey light. Several crystal-like transparent figures stood around the ship as sentinels awaiting the new crew. Jacque Queblot, the nominal trader-first among equals of the top one percent clan in charge of most Earthly things walked outside the ship’s open door and ordered forklifts to bring the energy nuggets out front immediately.

The gifts for the aliens were the best energy units for food consumption available. Thousands of insects, reptiles and even rare sea spiders in special containment cages were driven from the ship cargo and piled higher and deeper before the alien life forms observing in electronic silence. The wildlife, much of it made of carbohydrates made a cacophony of twittering noises in the last moments as time for them resumed normal speed.

The aliens crystal life forms advanced closer to the complete crew and spoke in a transcending language resounding through all wavelengths to the life forms assembled before them.

Thanks you Earth creatures for the gift of live energy bearing humanoids. These humans are large energy packets indeed, and probably better with spice on them."

Transforming themselves into an alternative form of seven foot tall insects, they advanced upon the crew of Tyrannosaur One greedily.

Rick Perry's Bold Regressive Tax Plan to Raise Taxes on the Poor 100%

A bold new regressive tax at a flat 20% proposed by the Perry campaign would increase the taxes of the poor 100% and reduce the taxes for billionaires by 45% making this the strongest effort to restore aristocracy since the confiscation of lands of Lord Fairfax and the end of the hopes of King George the Third to concentrate U.S. wealth.

http://www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs/laura-chapin/2011/10/26/rick-perrys-flat-tax-texas-feudalism-writ-large

Presidential candidate Rick Perry has taken the lead from Presidential candidate Herman Cain and opened a second front of the tax war on America's poor. Texas Governor Perry wants to charge the rich the same tax rate as the poor at 20%. The middle class is tossed under the bus too in the bargain that would let the rich accumulate billions and trillions and purchase everything in the free world fundamentally letting their subjects rent from them.

The United States recovered from the depression with a 70 to 90% tax rate on the rich and that policy kept Americans in an egalitarian prosperity until the Reagan era tax cuts followed up by Bush II-Obama tax cuts-extensions. Now the global networking of the wealthy owning everything as they concentrate wealth erodes the basic political and civil freedoms the founders fought for long ago. Billionaires may earn more in a minute or an hour through investments that a working American can earn in a lifetime. The broadcast media is a sycophantic tool for the corporate rich propagandizing Americans to economic servility.

http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2011/10/orangutan-human-cultures/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+wired%2Findex+%28Wired%3A+Index+3+%28Top+Stories+2%29%29&utm_content=Google+Feedfetcher Orangutan culture develops like human culture

American culture has dumbed down, yet the NFL has not smarted up and installed head-impact concussive measuring chips in its helmets to quantify the seasonal total amount of head impacts each player sustains. The players with the most total quality quantitative head impacts should probably receive higher compensation for their progressive brain injuries. Texas Governor Rick Perry has developed comparable dumbing down oversights in failing to comprehend the pervasive effects of carbon dioxide emissions from human sources to the global atmosphere.

A quarter of a million years ago one of the greatest mass extinction on this planet occurred in an area of global warming. Scientists believe the oceans became acidic then as they are becoming now from the excessive carbonic acid runoff into the ocean from the excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere precipitating to the ground. A full 90% of the life in the ocean was exterminated by global warming. That is a real, present danger to the world's fisheries and other marine life that the Texas Governor just wouldn't be convinced about.

Plainly the U.S. Presidential primaries should offer brain scans to all presidential candidates and also a two hour -90 question multiple choice GRE comparable exam taken in public, on-stage to find out who is an idiot and who isn't- The public should know who has substantial brain damage from football playing in America and who is not if they want to become President of the United States.

Quantum Creation and Embedded Evolution

Evolution theory need not be held to be inconsistent with belief in God. So much has been learned in the fields of Biblical scholarship and of ancient history and pre-history since 1900 that the transcendence of traditional boundaries of knowledge has advanced routinely. Neils Bohr and quantum mechanics advances, Einstein and relativity, Albright, Rosenberg and the biography of Abraham as a work of reasoned historic speculation have their places along with cosmology, multiverse theory and analysis of the books of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

One must suspend skepticism and learn of interdisciplinary fields for-oneself if one wishes to achieve a deeper awareness of the marvelous power and capacity of God to emanate beingness.

The Universe and the mechanics of its structured change as temporal evolution are a subset of God’s creative nature. The proximal cause is not the first apse, and the first cause is not the necessary Author of a temporal causal sequence.

Even Stephen Hawking was able to imagine a universe that begins without a dimension of time; instead time is a dimension of space that flips into juxtaposition with additional spatial dimension later conferring upon a hypothetical cosmology the condition of a Universe becoming without a beginning in time.

Dr. Hawking’s reduction of time in cosmology to a spatial dimension aside, the Creator of all things may not have a causal separation at all from all-possible-universes. All possible universes may exist as a reduction from within the nature of God. The contents of each temporal manifestation may be said to have a beginning in time whenever that beginning phenomenally occurs.

Fortunately we have Einstein’s theory of relativity to help form concepts about the theological causal relativism of a phenomenal temporal Universe or multiverse set within God’s mind-plans. A multiverse without a beginning in time ala Hawking’s that flipped into temporality from dimensional unpacking in accord with the will of God is interesting to consider.

All matter is known to be made of waveforms of subatomic particles. Electrons exist in all possible locations until measured when they are regarded as a point at a particular location. Perhaps an electron exists as an energy potential of crinkled space-time area that discharges to a particular location when measured.

Reading of Boze-Einstein condensates wherein the waves of atoms super-cooled to within a degree of absolute zero resonate at one frequency one can only wonder of the possibilities for quantum entanglement experimentation on teleportation of electrons and photons.

One must wonder what effect such wave Boze-Einstein condensate field resonation synchronicity would have upon the deeper associated field of all possible locations in quantum uncertainty. If the universe began at absolute zero temperature instead of very hot with the entirety of all crinkled space-time waveforms as a super-cooled enigma in the void we might wonder what that would comprise as an in-itself. An infinite quantity of synchronized potential mass-energy might be concentrated in an arbitrary, scalable waveform frozen in time with dimensions of infinite number folded, super-positioned and associated in waveform synchronicity.

Well, it is fun to speculate about cosmological physics. One might accept the premises of evolution within the 13.7 billion year old Universe and yet place the entire Universe and possible multiverse as phenomena of temporality-a motion of waveforms-within a project area of an omnipotent, eternal God who surpasses the temporal not by outlasting it, but by being wholly other as an Eternal Being transcending temporality. Time of 14 billion years may be as a second or less to the Eternal God, or vice versa.

It is simple to use the neo-Platonist philosopher Plotinus’ Enneads as an example of a non-temporal God issuing a temporal universe or multiverse, though one may also postulate the entire Universe as a phenomenal waveform sequence created by God that mankind might experience it phenomenally, existentially. The nature of time and being of those waveforms are contingent upon the will of God to sustain the Universe as it is. The ultimate explanation of waveforms as strings, membranes or issued contingent denouement of energy lay outside material explanation and within the spirit of God. Leibniz had the right sentiment on that topic with his one-dimensional spiritual monads even if not exactly the right structural explanation.

Within Rosenberg’s criteria of Genesis as written by the J and E writers the problems that so many have found in the creation story are prevalently negated. J is said to have unknown of Sumerian history and their flood stories and simply added that on to her material recounting Abraham’s migration from Sumer to Jerusalem and the Jordan Valley. History lost the origin of the undoubtedly true Sumerian stories-though stories that were also changed over the thousands of years of telling before being written in cuneiform in the late 4th millennium B.C. As Abraham naturally was evolved into developing a good relationship with God the foundation for the later interactions of God with men and women of faith was set. The prophets and Jesus Christ would bring the living Word of God to mankind though the origin was humble and surprisingly logical.

The New Testament has very little about creation cosmology within it. More is said by Jesus about the end times than the beginning. The sayings of Matthew 24 could be consistent with numerous cosmological end of days scenarios including a possible Big Rip from Lambda space expansion in just 2 billion years. At some point in the future space-time relativity may become artificially exploited for some reason-perhaps as a science project or even as common technology. Space-time segments may be repackaged in disconformal arrays moving the distant future to the past. The stars may fall from the sky moving ‘south’.

Election 2012; Left/Right Concentrated Wealth & Power vs. Democracy

Left & Right Sides of the Coin of Concentrated Control

Wall Street’s strong profits last quarter while the unemployment rate is greater than 9% is indicative of the disconnect between the top 5% concentrating the nation’s wealth and the people of the United States. Quantitative easing of money supply at the print shop bailed the rich out from their 2008 bad debt. Quantitative easing of an improving wage for labor market and economic egalitarianism put millions of Americans out of work and converted them into scrambling unemployed searching for crumbs.

The present economy is nearly ideal for wealthy owners of the corporate world with a docile domestic population struggling for work, dead labor unions, networked financial and corporate investments, instant global communication, global inventory management shuffling avoidance of taxpaying, and a cheap global labor force to invest in. Exporting cheaply made foreign goods to the U.S.A allows a calculus for the concentration of American wealth in global corporate elites soaking up U.S. consumer cash to redistribute abroad in foreign factory construction. Presidential candidate Rick Perry wants a 45% tax cut for the richest and a 100% tax increase on the poor.

Left and right are largely obsolete terms in relation to the vanishing democracy of the U.S.A. once at the center of the politics. Both left and right work against the middle to create concentrated wealth and/or power. Left and right are examples of the traditional political power of a ruling class over the masses without meaningful democratic power, free enterprise or egalitarian distribution of capitalization.

The American and corporate ruling class has exploited military spending to prop up a deficient military-industrial economic sector the past decade with support fro Chinese loans. If the Chinese loans to fund U.S. military boondoggles abroad halt the right will seek to squeeze more lemon juice from the turnip of social spending domestically with sweating of blood as a result in some sectors.

The solution for recovery of the U.S. economy from the new aristocracy of concentrated wealth and puppeteers of political power would be as revolutionary as the redistribution of wealth and power by the founders from British aristocrats to Americans free thenceforward to take the land and settle if for-themselves. Democracy without free enterprise for all seems to collapse into tyranny and concentrated wealth.

The United States should defend free enterprise against the concentration of wealth-F.D.R. realized it as the correct way to restore a natural liberty to the people of the United States. Taxes on the rich should be set at 90%. No one should be free to invest in more than 3 corporations in order to prevent networked market manipulation and skimming. No corporation should have more than 10,000 employees. If the owners want to increase revenues they should increase quality instead of quantity.

Today’s corporations have a marked trait of increasing quantity over quality. Business expansion means encouraging sales of disposable goods and consuming as much of scarce remaining planetary natural resources as quickly as possible. The large multinational corporate approach actual encourages scarcity of natural resources in order to drive up cost. On a planet of finite resources that practice approaches a culturally suicidal level of introspective greed.

The U.S.A. should seek to rectify capitalism to a limited scale that encourages thousands of new smaller quality businesses. It should secure its Mexican border and get all the people on an above the table work basis that will not corrupt labor wage value and public accountability.

The U.S.A. should have good social safety nets in food, income and medicine; yet seek to privative more of public education. Excess government income can be invested in restorative environmental work and the scientific battle to keep the ecosphere intact and health. A new era of free enterprise with a far more egalitarian distribution of capital will wrest the wealthy’s calculus of keeping 30 million Americans unemployed as unit tactics to create political compliance.

Redistribution as a buzz word of the rich is itself a straw man argument. America’s rich and their toady broadcast sycophants seem to be so worried about survival and comfort that they think they need billions of year’s worth of savings with concentrated wealth in order to assure their silky survival.

One can imagine a better, free society with unlimited amateur athletics, good basic access to food and smaller, ecologically well designed affordable shelters with excellent, cheap public education. Ordinary radio should have thousands of free education channels with high quality knowledge broadcasts perennially so the human race might actually get smarter and really settle the solar system and move to the stars.

Redistribution of political and economic opportunity is what every revolution is about. Yet that doesn’t mean that the savings accounts of the rich need to be taken-that sort of redistribution is just a one-time thing anyway that soon disappears like the morning dew in summer. What is wanted instead is a new, reformed free enterprise environment and strong government ecospheric protection and recovery guidance until society learns for-itself the rational paths of sustainable ecospheric economics methods.

The United States today culturally has learned to be something of a dysfunctional infrasocial striving agent for the concentration of wealth. Even the Chinese communists have passed a law letting no foreign corporation own more than 49% of a Chinese business-though via networking of business the Chinese economy will still become Gullivered up by the global elites of wealth. American should defend their economic interests from the hostile takeover by the right and left.

Americans can leave the murderous striving to concentrate wealth that deletes rationality and moral decency replacing it with planetary perversion and perennial wars, ecosphere decay and the usurpation of private property and business by corporate acquisitions and control of about everything. Unfortunately neither major political party is running a candidate with a clue about what is what on the side of the people of the United States for the Presidency in 2012. The best available candidate seems to be Mitt Romney. The other candidates appear to be followers of Babylon the Great.

I wrote in 1992 of the Reagan-Bush Agenda’s legacy of 5.3 trillion dollars of public debt and suggested that any democratic candidate besides Clinton or Harkins would be good enough. I wrote in 1996 that Bob Dole was the man of the hour. In each case Americans could have spared themselves a lot of trouble historically by voting for the better candidate. Ralph Nader during many of those years would have resolved America’s leadership issues. Now with the day so late and 15 trillion dollars of public debt I haven’t confidence in the political judgment of the electorate to restore full employment, minimal use of necessary emergency programs and conservation of the ecosphere.

On the Relationship of God to A Multiverse

As a Christian I believe there is a lot more to the Universe, Multiverse and God's support for their contingent existence than one could possibly learn in a lifetime.

God may have created an infinite multiverse, yet even so He is eternal and the entire multiverse may occupy not even 1% of God's potential or actuality. All temporality may recur eternally for God relativistically as He understands these sub-routine multiverse loops as they spin on forever. That I think is why he wants humanity to achieve a spiritual dimensions besides the obvious material dimension as embedded thinking fields of molecules within the greated multiversal field phenomena.

On Rebsamen's Translation of Beowulf

Beowulf is the first great poem of Old English written between the 6th and the first third of the 9th century. Rebsamen created a new translation of the classic heroic saga of the Geat (pronounced Gate?) hero Beowulf (pronounced Baywolf) and his battles with three monsters-Grendel, Grendel’s mother and The Dragon). This version published in 2004 restores a better poetic sense to the ancient literature.

Beowulf the epic story brings a sense of history with it. We read of his mano y mano swimming in the ocean contest with a peer through seven days of wintry waves wearing nothing besides a sword with which Beowulf final battles seven sea sprites before being tossed onto the beach. One learns something of the sociology and culture of the day, and of the job of the coast guard.

Beowulf deliver’s the Danish King Hrothgar’s fine beer hall from the power of Grendel-a predatory monster eating the Danish thane/warriors partying there nightly.

The introduction to this translation of Beowulf presents an excellent summary of the history of Anglo-Saxon England from the 5th century until the Viking invasions after about 930 C.E. The district of Kent was converted to Christianity in 597, and the poem has numerous references to God. The first Church in Sweden at Uppsala wasn’t constructed until 1000 a.d. Maybe the invasion of England returned something of the word of Christ to those previously pagan people regarded in antipathetically by Dane, North Germans and Angles of the era.

One finds an example of the relationship of the illiterate warrior class to God as the omnipotent power controlling the allotment of reality. I would think that the Moslem development of a warrior relationship to God was somewhat similar in Muhammad’s 6th century Arabia though tempered by more Judaic scriptural references. In Old English there were more than sixty different name-references to God.

Rebsamen mentions that more than 30,000 lines of Old English poetry remains. The era of Angles, Jutes and Saxons migrating to England brought the North Germanic form of poetry along. The hymn of Caedmon was one of the first to bring Christian ideas to North Germanic verse structure in Anglo-Saxon England at this time. Another early poem- The Poem of Holy Rood was carved in runic on a large, elegant stone cross at Dumfriesshire Scotland in the 8th century. Beowulf was composes sometime in this era as well by an unknown court poet before the Viking invasions.

Reading this poem aloud in this translation brings it to a story normal expression without the stumbling along verbal cadences of inexpertly trying to read Old English. Beowulf is a no-brag just fact destroyer of monsters-even those descended from Cain such as Grendel-who journeys over the whale-paths through the wave-rolls of the sea and time to meet destiny from the wyrd. This book is worth shelving for its intrinsic value as well as the fact that it was the first epic poem of this scale written since the fall of Rome.

The U.S. Military as an Agent of Ecological Adversity Ecological Adversity

The Pentagon has reports on everything, yet it has been one of the larger factors of ecospheric detriment over the decades from radiation dispersion, nuclear weapons, chemical weapons, defoliation, agent orange, egregious gasoline and flight fuel use, deisel gas pollution etc.

The disruptive effect on the Iraqi ecospheric portion for instance, has been devastatingly polluting. Good post 2003 war planning could have defeated the protracted chaos, conflict and civil war that followed with U.S. troops leaving only later this year. Vietnam also experienced ecospheric devastation. In some regards the U.S. military approach toward the ecosphere has been comparable to that of the communist party of the Soviet Union and that of Vietnam on its Mekong River drainage downgrade.

U.S. diplomacy fails to direct commerical interests and synergetic defense and economic planning domestically and internationally toward coordinated and ecospherically beneficient outcomes. The 1990 Gulf War stimulated Saddam Hussein to set his oil wells taken from kuwait on fire polluting the air. U.S. policy that will deploy the military must be competent to comprehend the green axial dimensions and not just the coaxial box of bullets.

The United States occassionally talks tall on environmentalism yet most of its commercial leadership seems to be plain stupid or indifferent. I think chimpanzees could drive SUVs if taught-that can't be the final state of human progress and the human way of life needs to become ecospherically benign or even friendly. The military pace of ecosphere recovery would make all of America prisoners of war doomed for unfair execution by some ecomaniac in charge of the forces for global warming.

A Brit with the name of Lord Rees wrote a book anmed 'Our Final Century'. I guess he is less optomistic thatn the late Jacque Cousteau who gave humankind 200 years to live before the dummies paving things everywhere fry the plant life into desert condition.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qF26MbYgOA Lord Rees' Talk on 'Our Final Century'

As a politically correct federal entity the U.S. military must try to appeare to support rational policy, yet the socialization the military gives to its recruits and even officers does not create an ecospheric ethic at all.

The military may 'call' for action on ecospheric recovery yet it's inertia does little to support an ecospheric recovery in practice. the military industrial complex is led by CEOs and generals, Admirals and bureaucrats that are perhaps the driving force in a non-rational human relationship to ecospheric recovery integrated with business in the United States.

One might believe that a chimpanzee can drive an SUV to a simple job and back, pave the world with asphalt and find the meaning of life at Wal-mart, yet the ecosphere is in decay and very few employees of the military industrial complex seem to have a clue from the lack of public advocacy, of how to transition to an ecospherically recovering, sustainable eco-business synthesis.

Moamar Khaddafi Terminated in Libya-Foreign Policy Challenges for Next President

With the death of Moamar Khaddafi the United States will have a few new foreign policy challenges in the future years. president Obama's policy to remove the former dictator in Libya and the President of Egypt, along with his advocacy for the removal of Syrian President Assad has brought an element of uncertainty regarding the redistribution of weapons, explosives and political loyalties in the middle east and North Africa. The next President of the United States should adopt a policy less of spend and dump weapons to new strong men and not over-anticipate development of new social reality in those nations.

Certainly the dynamics for support of new terrorist organizations exists in the neo-democratic chaotic interregnum of secret police force in Libya and the development of new power centers in Egypt also presents the prospect for alliances perhaps seeking to advance an agenda against western secularis in its morally decadent phase.

The arguements about the reality of moral norms in a western civilization experiencing population decline and rise of non-theistic amoral secularism might readily be transcended by fundamental Moslems agitating for population power expansion over their own and foreign nations. I suppose neither globalists of the jihaddist or corporatist ethos have concern about the ecospheric decay of the Earth.

President Obama cannot substitute foreign corpses of dictators for a good domestic ecospheric and economic policy; his new jobs program is mostly a way to fund local governments and government projects with borrowed money from China that will cost twice the price to repay-a tax on the next generation to pay for government today.

The Industrial Gnostic Excuse for Global Warming

A new excuse for global warming has been broadcast by some contemporary radio political-religious evangelists that finds a theological premise that acquits mankind from causing or increasing global warming; only God can create the sun and warm or change the atmosphere. That false alternative argument dangerously chops logic short. I believe God created things within His will yet uncertainty and contingent freedom of motion and choice exist such that industrial gnosticism cannot aquit excuse mankind from being a willfull sinner or agent causing global warming.

That erroneous notion is a product of an hierarchical priesthood that has too close of a political and economic relationship with a certain military-industrial oil complex. If a more egalitarian priesthood of believers derived from the venerable friends efforts of the 19th century were popular and upgraded to modern networking liturgucal and Christian welfare status replaced the put ourselves first above the laity approach these sorts of conflicts of interest would be less likely to develop.

As a Christian it is useful to take a stand for clarification of a contemporary maladroit excuse used by some hierarchical ministries in opposition to global warming. Global warming is opposed by some on a vaguely gnostic basis such that mankind can not effect the environment or the atmosphere but only God can. The same reasoning might be equally well applied to inebriation as an excuse for drunk driving; God created mankind therefore drunkeness is natural and man can not be at fault for getting tanked. The Bible of course relates that drunkards will not inherit the kingdom of heaven.

premise one; God created the Universe

premise two; God created mankind and all is predetermined

Conclusion; Mankind can do no wrong

Plainly the reasoning is faulty. global warming is not a crank scientific hypotheis but a measurement of temperature, temperature history of course, yet also a measurement of the amount of carbon dioxide in the world created by mankind, the ability of the ecosphere to process carbon dioxide and the effect of carbon dioxide on increasing atmosoheric temperature.

Exploitation of a gnostic heresy formerly applied to excuse sin to excuse corrupting the atmosphere and world ecosystems with excess carbon dioxide that will make the oceans more acidic and increase atmospheric temperature is a disingenuous attempt by those in oil producing and polluting industrial relationships to curry favor from there wealthy patrons.

Mankind is responsible for his/her ecosphere of the Earth. mankind can change the environment from logging forests, using cobalt bombs to annihilate the atmosphere or just nuclear bombs to create global winter or simply melt the Antarctic ice cap along with Greenland's to raise the level of the ocean. Fossil fuel burning automobiles and lots of heat absorbing asphalt can accomplish about the same things-though not instantly end the existence of the atmosphere.

God has created the universe and universe of universes and given mankind the ability to alter elements of its composition substantially. Denial of the responsibility of mankind to regulate the world's atmospheric temperature so far as possible and not to destroy what God has abundantly provided for human existence and health is the most rank sort of misguidance industrial gnosticism can dump on the people of the U.S.A. and even the world.

The Jobless Job Stimulus Plan of President Obama

President Obama has developed a plan to create jobs for government workers without explaining how that creates sustainable jobs in the private sector. The plan for a job bill of about half a trillion dollars borrowed from China seems designed just to pay for local government salaries along with some special contractors. There is nothing sustainable in that sort of borrow money from China to pay for local government.
A right thinking jobs stimulus would provide grant money to small business start ups evaluated as probably viable by qualified people. New private sector jobs need to be created outside government that would hire additional people and have a chance of lasting for years with new economic production.

Producing new material goods in the United States is one way to create sustainable new hires. An example might be...

A guy in Wasilla or Wrangell Alaska wants to make trimaran sailboats in a new wood chip and glue process to make a vessel faster, lighter and cheaper than with fiberglass-the cost of that material is high today. The innovator even imagines building ultra-light aircraft from the new lightweight woodchip and glue material. He can get the wood chips, the glue and can make the molds yet he needs 200,000 dollars to jump start the process. -This particular example is a fiction that I invented for illustrative purposes.

Borrowing money from China to add to the national debt to pay for local government projects is not an intelligent way to stimulate job creation. In fact it may be necessary to develop posse' to replace lost police funding, and to outsource public education to private schools. Plainly modern technology should be used to enhance education and self-education/independent study projects from students to compensate for inadequate human teachers when needed. There might be a better way to use wireless internet opportunity for education that would reinforce public education delivery that would surpass localization that developed in the days of the Little School House on the Prairie that then grew into the Big Urban Prison School in the Ghetto.

There might be a role for funding local government new business projects though if developed creatively. An example would be the West Texas draught and dry farming phenomenology that suggests creating a solar powered desalinization and steam power generation infrastructure perhaps from Sergeant Texas water intake-processing facility to Lubbock. Fresnel lenses and fields of mirrors used to heat up Gulf of Mexico saltwater to create vapor for condensation capture then steam for pumping the water uphill 2500 feet to Lubbock from whence it might flow downhill to San Angelo irrigating cotton fields on the way could create more employment in the farming, solar and wind power sectors as well as others. Realistic economic stimulus needs to create sustainable development.

West Texas farmers should be required to allow green wild spaces between farms instead of ploughing the entire countryside so it’s nothing besides cultivated dirt awaiting wind and rain. Wildlife needs some boundary margins to exist within after all.

Anthropic Synthetic Chancres Drive Whales Over the Edge

Government propagandists seldom come out of the closet to disclose themselves as Satan’s evil minions. Politicians of doom dump a number of organizational incursions into private realms, make the public realm their own resource nugget and advocate interests corrupting a citizen’s quiet enjoyment of life and pursuit of happiness. Liberal use of force is the road more travelled by a surfeit of advancing agencies of evil.

So three Orca whales perished recently swimming in the fresh water of the Nushagak River and why one might ask, did they venture beyond the salt water safety of Bristol Bay. In the dangers of shallow water, seasonal river freezing and skin disease not to mention bear attack two adult whales-one pregnant late term and a juvenile whale swam to their deaths from unknown cause-perhaps stress or some unknown virus.

Orcas have been forced by human action out of their traditional homes all along the west coast of the U.S.A. In Alaska the issue of developing a vast copper mine in the salmon stream headwaters of Bristol Bay is a contemporary political issue-one might like to think the whales were a Buddhist monk-like suicide protest of the mine development.

Orca whales have experienced population decline and habitat changes as new chancres of industrial development trashing their habitat. Orcas’ main food sources-larger whales, fish and pinnipeds have all declined in numbers from human over-predation. The Orcas have scraped the bottom of the barrel for food amidst a century of engine noise assaulting their sensitive sonar acoustic hearing, oil spills, toxic waste dumping, mining affluence and human direct assault for sadistic pleasure. Swimming upriver to protest Bristol Bay becoming another Puget Sound practically dead to whales was perhaps a worthwhile gesture considering the futility the Orca species has in hoping to exist as healthy free beings into future generations.

The people of the Untied States also experience the savage logical, progressive annihilation of their own ecospheric habitat as a consequence of unreformed capitalism’s domination of politics and ecosphere destruction. Herman Cain’s relationships with the AFP; a billionaire founded agitation group for tax cuts for the rich and deregulation of ecospheric defense-is exemplary of the war on the ecosphere today littering political thought.

Federalism precludes any state border control or limitation to population control by state officials. An acceptable policy when unity promoted economic strength instead of economic and political weakness.

If S.E. Alaska became an independent state rid of the oppression of Anchorage, the Alaska Public Radio syndicate and habitat destroying road builders it could sustain a small population in a healthy ecosystem like a small nation-yet federalism would make immigration control impossible so the effort to become the 51st state would be worthless. Population would flood in as it became prosperous, ruin the ecosphere and then move away when it became a wreck.

All of the 50 states ecospheres are doomed by federal power preventing state border and immigration control. Liberal interstate commerce and migration deregulations were fine in a frontier era when everyone had their head up their ass on environmental science. Today such policies are promoted by rich agents of retardation and of ecospheric destruction and their entourages.

The policy of force overcomes that of defense of human ecospheric security.

The Beastly Mark of Herman Cain’s Tax Plan

Republican Presidential candidate Herman Cain has an inverted 6’s tax plan-the 999 plan. That makes me wonder if the Biblical mark of Cain is a forerunner of the Biblical mark of the beast-999.

In this third millennium C.E. the U.S.A. has had a rich selection of presidential leadership that a citizen might consider Satanic.

President Obama has probably considered making Elton Johns’ ‘Crocodile Rock’ the new Army fight song to go with his homosexual military policy seemingly designed to corrupt youth.

That policy is probably a special economic swamp requiring off base housing for homos that would need to be equal to that of hetero married couples to prevent discrimination suits

. Probably President Obama and Admiral Mullins will want to have military schools get new textbooks that teach why its o.k. to buy ruby red lipstick for presents to male non-commissioned officers.

The new U.S. gay is o.k. policy for the military’ must make Satan happy. A new President should work to overturn the corruption of youth policy as a priority along with deleting abortion.

Herman Cain’s tax plan to war upon the poor is heinous class warfare that must also bring a warm glow to the evil transcendent macro-Devil of the pit who is boss of many of the rich-if not all.

With anything less than a 70% income tax on the rich wealth becomes too concentrated and a de facto royalty forms. Americans move toward becoming a golomite evil empire much like the Mexico of the Hapsburg era. The rich own everything going away and the majority becomes servo-unit happy faces with no insides politically.

Intellectuals not in the top five percent families become unable to own or invent things for profit of themselves. The cost of entry level production chips becomes far too high for new inventions and the rich own all the materials for production. Production components are located in China and if one needs to use 20 or 30 different materials to fabricate a new product the import costs are too high for the formerly independent nation-except for the rich that are investors in China. Warren Buffet for example is a billionaire investor in a Chinese electric car manufacture. Paradoxically Buffet has supported realistically higher taxes on the rich as an exception to the war on the poor policy of Herman Cain.

Herman Cain has been influenced by two billionaire brothers-the Koch Brothers (David and Charles) who founded a tax cut agitation organization inappropriately named the AFP-Americans for Prosperity. It should have been named BFAP-Billionaires for Absolute Power. Mr. Cain’s campaign manager worked for AFP.

While the repressive upper class makes owning a hut an impossibility, and as illegal immigrant workers stream in to take jobs for decades, Wal-Mart becomes full of cloned class shoppers buying things made in China because nothing is made in the U.S. except for Hollywood porn, sports videos, Toyotas and oil drilling rigs.

The 9% income tax on the rich would be an effective way to let Satan rule America more directly, and so it isn’t surprising that Herman Cain’s plan is popular with the extreme right, homosexuals and dominitrices seeking to cozy up the corporate world. President Obama has already extended tax cuts for the rich for the remainder of his term as servant to the rich and homosexual.

Herman Cain having already taken the job maybe no white person would do (polemical Hispanics say that of all the jobs the poor would have if there were no illegal aliens in the U.S.A. and supply and demand was allowed to work for the labor side too—and that is not the reason the Iranian effort to blow up the Saudi Ambassador in Washington D.C. was offered to a Mexican Zeta perhaps) as CEO of Godfather’s Pizza because of its obvious nod to organized crime has advanced an absurd tax plan that would dump huge sales tax increases on the poor and cut taxes on the rich instead of raising them to 70%. That sort of class war is bold and perhaps dirty enough that no white person would take the job of making such cruel and unfair policy proposition besides when Steve Forbes made a 10% flat tax plan.

Maybe the inverted 6’s tax plan is Herman Cain’s idea of making a bold offer the public can’t refuse-yet they should just shoot first and pull the ballot punch trigger on any other candidate besides Herman Cain in the primaries ahead in order to fight for the side of truth, the poor and Mitt Romney. To just say no to corrupt tax decreases on the rich is still a good idea to keep the Republic viable-a 70% tax rate on the rich was good enough for Ike.

President Obama as the first black clansman-in-chief hasn’t suggested that Mexico become a Swedish style socialist nation in order to integrate its corruptible-by-narco-traffickers police force into an equitable national income distribution egalitarian culture, yet perhaps he would if not a servo-unit for the new imperialism swollen into sun-king status after the end of the cold war and increasing tax cuts.

Rich politicians that prefer a Mugabe style democracy for Mexico and the United States with wealth and power extremely concentrated have their new man in Herman Cain to carry their bullhorn. Only Rick Perry offers a more pathetic potential for concentrating wealth, foreign wars and a decaying nationalism and local ecosphere than the Obama-Cain team pulling the tax cut sled of goodies for wealthy global supremacists.

About Virtually Minting Money into 2008 Wall Street Flop

I occasionally review reading classical and symbolic logic. So I tend to now and then. An account in a bank may be several things. To count anything is of course arithmetic in action. So an 'a count' refers to the content of the account. When banks got into the broader trading business virtually becoming trading houses they were able to leverage the effective creation of 'virtual money' to far higher ratios than traditional limits on loans to assets (on account deposits in the bank). Banks got into trouble when they did so and of course the public had to bail them out when their bad investments flopped.

As may be said, the 'current mess' of the 2008 Wall Street and Banking flop developed while paper dollars existed. Yet paper dollars are little used in financial transactions on Wall Street as you must know. Those billions being tossed about are done with electronic, virtual money. C.D.O.'s or collateralized debt obligations, short selling and arbitrage may be done, so far as I am aware, without any actual cash transfer.

One of the problems is that much theoretical dollar debt and dollar assets were created without any corresponding actual cash to back that up. there may even be some kind of odd inflationary effect actualized by the disparity between the virtual creation of 'electronic money' without correspondence to paper money if there is a demand for real cash as if it were a run o0n the bank.

I would guess that some people could mint their own money electronically as debt so long as any credible institutions were willing to accept the electronic representation of dollars as valuable approximately in ratio to the claim of value even if it is not so,. With the technical skill of the 11 dimensional quants it may be possible to do electronic money laundering turning fictious dollars into real ones albeit with the generation of a little inflation that in turn might be hidden or passed on.

Without some correspondence between some real and finite commodity such as difficult to counterfeit dollars there is a practical chance that electronic minting of dollars can be accomplished through the ordinary Wall Street and Banking instruments such as over-priced housing; one might want to intentionally restrict demand to drive up prices temporarily and cash out the virtual money at that point allowing the deflation of the corresponding object of money value to be passed on to those holding the debt obligations.

Things of that sort probably occurred in the run up to the 2008 banking crash-fortunately the people that fixed the problem were also part of the problem prevalently, so they will be untroubled that the entire structure will fail or too small to put over again. Gresham's Law of bad money following good also draws many people into the pyramid schemes that beset society over the centuries of civilization. As it is in the energy market so it is in politics and television programming-the leading edge players tend to profit most.

I am not terribly optimistic that either American major political party will be up to the challenge of revising capitalism such that it would reflect real world modern conditions. Anything can occur in theory however improbable so one may always hope for a miracle of common sense political reform.

It seems to me that both major U.S. parties support globalization from differnet angles as a way to concentrate wealth in elites and draw in the largest global market for consumers while also drawing in cheaper global labor. The founders of the U.S.A. were an elite with good intelligence able to design a new system of government without being crushed by the establishment of the day. Today that sort of needed radical reform is virtually impossible and the best political theories common in politics are fairly dumb and anachronistic.

U.S. conservativism is exceedingly liberal economically so far as to make capitalism a tool for the creation of a new de facto global royalty of wealth. The interests of the majority of American citizens just don't mean anything to either party. Instead the homosexual crowd and some traditional internal proletariats have been recruited into becoming economic shock workers along with the external proletariats to make u.S. workers politically loyal and entirely amoral drone consumer-followers of corporatism.

The two 2012 party presidential candidates may each be black Americans providing an example of the Toynbean transition of the former internal proletariat to a power majority status as the previously dominant class falls into decay. The Toynbean transition of western capitalism into a global or universal state seems to be taking a moral syncretism shored up with ample amoral medical research supports from wealthy biological developers. A global wealth class lording it over a planetary proletariat of idiot-workers within a declining planetary ecosphere seems to be the way things are developing.

One might speculate that at some point the proletariat would revolt against the elites as their stagnant class represses individual capitalism and invention by independent yet poor and intelligent souls, however with maybe 9 billion people and an overused world resource base probably the collapse of the existing political order will create global anarchy and chaos, while the continuity of the concentrated wealth governing will produce a similar variety of decay.

There are of course alternate courses of development that could perhaps have better prospects for simultaneous social justicity, individual prosperity of the greatest number, a recovery of ecospheric health and so forth through limiting capitalism and corproations to smaller levels of concentrated wealth and power and so forth yet politically reform is as I wrote above, improbable.
