Crytpo for War Finance Flummery

 Cryptocurrencies are marvelous anonymous monetary media for moving wealth silently. One wonders how many of the hundreds of billions of dollars sent by the Biden administration to fund its war on Russia in the Ukraine have found their way in to hidden accounts and the international anonymity of Bitcoin and other lesser known crypto coin. Crypto may be the state-of-the-art venue for political kickbacks and bribes with untraceable secret accounts rivaling those of the Swiss.

The government of Ukraine has been rated as one of the most corrupt on Earth. With so many billions of dollars flowing to a variety of channels the U.S. dollar is probably building up new hidden powers of perfidy as well as paying for vectors of death to kill Russian and Ukrainians forced to the front line of combat.

The Trump candidacy proposes to end the Ukraine conflict and settle with Russia through negotiation; probably Russia would split the wealth of Ukraine land resources in half with the government of the west so long as N.A.T.O. agreed to say away from the Russia border on West Ukraine. Mr. Trump has also suggested that the U.S.A. ought to invest in Bitcoin in a large way in order to reinforce the value of the dollar. That is a good insight since the dollar is potentially subject to destabilization as the rich divest from the dollar and move into crypto currencies and the money of China.

Saudi Arabia decided to allow buyers of its oil to pay for it in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. The Biden administration preference to make war on Russia via Ukraine and divide the economy of the world as collateral damage to U.S. economic interests was inexplicable. It seems as if there must be some hidden force compelling N.A.T.O. and Democrat party leadership to act so rashly and divisively on the world. Of course there public reasoning is that Putin is Hitler seeking to restore the Soviet Empire and to conquer Poland, France and all of the west. That Napoleonic fairy tale is not credible at all for those well read in world history. BRIC nations have some incentive to move defecting from the dollar and on to the Chinese yuan than before the Biden term of protracted war on Russian forces seeking to recover some of its historically Russian Ukraine land stolen by the Clinton administration when Russia was weak after decades of Soviet rule.

Crypto currency is a two-edged financial sword that can fundamentally alter the world balances of economic power. Since vacating the gold standard U.S. dollars have been backed by the solely by the power of the U.S. government to tax the wealth of the nation. Investing in crypto currency is a similar paradigm, since the value of Bitcoin is based on what people are willing to pay for it- and it is backed by nothing else. I wonder how many trillions of dollars the Federal Reserve will invest in Bitcoin, and how many billions of tax dollars from federal funds sent to corrupt Ukrainian accounts have already found the way there.

Beekeeper vs Bad Political Offspring

 The Beekeeper was buzzing with his bros in a Camilatown hood when he got a beep from his news alert on foreign collusion. His eyes grew wide and he let out a puff of smoke from his fanny pack becalming the hive of A.I. drones. A report that SCOTUS had been given term limits requiring justices to resign after Republican administrations sent waves of crypto reality agitating his tick tocs and electrifying his toes so he buzzed off to seek and destroy additional politically defective offspring of a queen even if he or she was childless. The beekeeper was a queen slayer and the onerous task of restoring world peace, prosperity and a healthy ecosphere flumped manifestly before him.

U..S. dollars were taken off the gold standard during the Nixon administration and became a floating currency backed only by the ability of the government to tax the wealth of the country, in theory. Then arose crypto currency backed only by anonymous owners of Vipcoin willing to pay to own them. Vipcoin was an excellent way for elites such as dope peddlers and billionaires to squirrel their money safely beyond accountability and vulnerability to the political problems of sundry nations- especially those with vast public debt such as the United States. The U,S, government itself began to buy into Vipcoin as a hedge against the collapse of the dollar in response to its protracted war in Ukraine to expand N.A.T.O. eastward to Russia and reliance on fossil fuel infrastructure instead of the Phoenix Solar Initiative.

The Beekeeper recollected the words of his instructor Obi Wan Ken-o-bee running through his mind before entry of the dragon into an octagon for mortal combat in a South American jungle; “Grasshopper-fear is the peace slayer”. The Beekeeper knew N.A.T.O. believed Hitler would invade Poland and France again since Vladimir Putin wore an impossible whopper mask to hide his full-cloned Hitler body. Though Russia was fighting in great detail, yard by yard in Ukraine at high cost of lives and treasure to recover a semblance of its historical land taken away at the end of the Cold War in the Von Clinton-Yeltsin-Molotov Pact, it was obvious to the ingognoscenti that Russia was preparing a blitzkrieg upon western Europe to follow the easy win. Only the beekeeper’s hairdresser knew for sure if he could protect Europe if the prospect of invasion was real and from fear if it wasn’t. The beekeeper therefore flew to Kingsland GA to sip cool drinks under an umbrella on beach to contemplate the placid blue infinity of unregulated waves.

The Bridge to Nonsense

Like a bridge over troubled nonsense
politics sent in the clowns
like a widget flumping stellar faux pents
foggy days brought inverted frowns

Gray days smiled at me
nothing but gray days do I see
cloudy skies arise from now on
bring the dark clouds banging a gong

Never saw a rain ever so dark
must have been made from dark matter quarks
in drenching rain sun don’t shine at all
the bloody contrast wicks exogenous sprawl

With Thales, Anaximander and Anaximenes
God is the one
when a Universe begins
not the house of the rising sun

Thesaurus vs thesaurthem
by hook or by crook
darkness yearns into light
why should pollution sleep easy at night
when liberal craze of autofrackin days
brink plants to survive death rays aright

What is the mist bugged by the west
small drops of moisture to deserts in quest
of ink on lost parchments
directions could be
enclosed right inside
resurrection of the blessed.

Quoth the Raven

 Talking with one of the fortunate five-hundred ravens calculating moves against chess engines of the business cycle I asked if he had any good prospects in mind.

He related that directed energy weapons to take down drones were being short sold since they had a better application powering electric cars and spacecraft than taking down ground hugging, forest flying drones bearing quarts of nerve agent for surprise attacks on American cities. The loquacious bird said that during the summer’s hot weather he had ventured sufficient capital to corner the market on knitted shawls across the nation.

I said that shawls probably were not much wanted during the hot weather. The big bird informed me that was his strategy; ‘buy low and sell high’. Evidently the bird with warehouses of shawls would engineered a shawl shortage letting Democrat voters begin to shiver around the time of the fall election and he would not release any for sale until November, and then only in his new fast comfort foods franchise restaurants from sea to shining sea.

Quoth the raven; “The masses will line up in pre-dawn darkness to take a seat in my Comfortable Fast Foods restaurants to buy authentic knot shawls. They will pay premium prices for cantaloupe stuffed with guacamole, whip cream and delicate, tiny shrimp, baked egg plant filled with tapioca pudding and pay as much as Democrats do for gourmet canned cat food . Chardonnay Smoothies served in genuine steel lined plastic comfort cup replica Republican skull mugs will draw the majority in like flies.”

So I asked what he thought of the quest to make Phoenix the number one solar powered high albedo city I the United States.

Quoth the raven; “Solar powered drones flying in weapons of mass destruction from Mexico like nerve gas and viruses to underground W.M.D. dealers are a down side to buying in to the whole Phoenix big bird thing. Alternatively, it is a good opportunity to invest in my pyramid line Pterodactyl wish bone water-finding division since the boundary salt water desalinization canal and albino asphalt projects fell through congress again. Event so, research continues at my Albino  Asphalt and Feather Company  to boldly fly where no raven has flown before”

An electrifying caw.

A Drone Arms Race

The Ukraine-Russia conflict accelerated field testing and technological development of flying and mobile ground drones for war. It is the era of a drone arms race letting a thousand forms of drones bloom. Extensive field testing and upgrades for efficiency adaptations taking down opposition force armored vehicles, personnel and other point targets honed the sharp edge of the military technology.

The United States for decades enjoyed a lead in development of drones for war. Drones like the Predator and Global Hawk required a skilled remote pilot. Next generation drones will be flown by A.I. chips in the aircraft. That upgrade will free up paramilitaries from needing a pilot for each drone. Instead of having 100,000 soldiers flying drones there will be none; saving a huge investment in personnel and support while building a more lethal, efficient and cheaper combat environment for humans. Drones have barely started on their course of evolution to revolutionize the planetary battlefield; they will become more than flying land-mines and missile launching spycraft.

Conventional military forces and infantry had a form of specialized soldier tasks and deployments of large numbers of coordinated personnel to meet enemy forces in combat. The U.S. Marine corps has planned to change it force structure to use fewer yet more highly trained warriors to defend the pacific regions against larger numbers of Chinese aggressors. In theory the Marines would control high-tech weapons to attack Chinese troops from a distance. Drones tech changes that. The Red Army not only makes personal computers, they can manufacture millions of drones guided by A.I. chips to seek and destroy Marines without risking casualties of the Red Army. Drones will radically changed the way wars are fought, when people are stupid enough to fight them instead of investing in peace, prosperity and a healthy, recovering ecosphere.

The next Hamas war on Israel would have 100,000 A.I. guided drones targeting specific addresses in Israel using ubiquitous g.p.s. for guidance in a sneak attack before the g.p.s. satellites are turned off by Israeli allies. Hezbollah and Yemen would also send waves of drones flying at night. The reason that A.I. chips are more useful that F.P.V. drones is that the A.I. controlled drones can continue to attack if jamming of waveform signals to remote drone controllers blocks control of the aircraft. A hundred thousand drones launched from some third world’s air force warehouse flying about without control would be of little military value.

The security of airports was greatly tightened and very effective after the mass of hijackings of the 1960s and 70s. The 9-11 hijackers were the primary exception to phasing out hostile takeovers of aircraft. The 9-11 hijackings were designed by an American college trained engineer and hijackers trained in U.S. flight schools during the Clinton administration to fly aircraft. Schools and cockpit doors were screened better after that. Terrorists that wanted to blow up civilian aircraft needed to sneak explosives aboard thereafter and that practice too was curbed. Richard Reed who tried to detonate his shoes flying over Chicago after 2001 was the last serious nearly functioning terrorist attempt. F.P.V drones have changed the criterion once more. It will be ridiculously easy for terrorists flying F.P.V. drones to attack European aircraft near runways. No longer do terrorists require direct physical access to aircraft to place explosive on the fuselage, engines or wings.

Drones are very cheap in comparison to regular state of the art fighter and bomber aircraft. Some aircraft cost as much or more than half a billion dollars. Mass produced drones of various kinds may cost as little as $50. Thus even the smallest nations will be able to afford an air force with meaningful attack capability, and the aircraft may be launched from any place in the world such as submarines, oil tankers, balloons and carriers of various sorts.

Armies will field hundreds of thousands of solar power scout drones of very small size to search for opfor soldiers in forest, desert, mountains and plains to transmit locations to A.I. drones coordinators able to dispatch larger ordinance carrying drones to attack. Scout drones may use optical, laser light to signal high altitude relays with data if jammers of radio waves interfere with communications. Conventional troop concentrations and even small, squad size components will be quite and risk in the drone-saturated new world military order of battle.

Terrorists and guerrilla forces will obviously exploit the ability of drones and their low cost to attack cities and military vehicle. The recent Iraq and Afghanistan wars has improvised explosive devices yet very few flying drone attacks, so far as I know. In the future drones will saturate areas of conflict to attack military bases, convoys and civilian targets regarded as of value to the enemy.

None of this speculation involves much change from present capabilities. It is simply a matter of scaling up from the demonstration of the practical of drones for war in Ukraine. If political leaders and the military industrial complex continue to downgrade environment and social welfare globally in preference to manufacturing weapons and ideology for combat the prospects for a radical upgrade in the lethality of the global battlefield looms large.

Candidate Trump Shouldn't take Zelinsky's Calls

 Candidate Donald Trump received a phone call from Ukraine’s political strong man Zelinsky recently- perhaps to congratulate him for surviving an assassination attempt. That raises the question; should Donald Trump take calls from Ukraine’s unelected wartime leader? The Democrats Shiff and Madler might accuse Donald Trump of Ukrainian election collusion if he is elected in November.

Mr. Zelinsky’s term of office expired some months ago and he hasn’t allowed another election to be held because he might stand a good chance of losing. President Franklin Roosevelt allowed elections during World War Two (and he was reelected) so there is a precedent for having elections during tough times. Mr. Zelinsky need not act like a martial law dictator to remain in power and could gracefully step aside to let the public elect someone who would negotiate peace with Russia rather than to extend the war.

If President Trump were to supply weapons to an non-elected Ukrainian leader waging a bloody war with Russia; a leader than has used land mines to prevent draft age citizens from escaping Ukraine and has sent convicts, handicapped and the elderly to the front lines (up to age 45), he might be in peril of being view by international war crimes tribunals as an accomplice to various crimes against humanity. Unelected citizens empowered by martial law that enable mass killing of citizens through combat have a dubious position in regard to morality and legality.

The Ukraine war should be brought to a peaceful, negotiated end with Russia’s peace plan being the best presently available. If Ukraine were to have a free and fair election perhaps a peace candidate would rise in that sad nation.

Democrats won't select their own presidential candidate in 2024

 Since President Biden dropped out of the race for President of the United States recently there won’t be any public vote to select a candidate. Instead special delegates will choose for themselves who will get their nomination for the November election. This is a rather amazing spectacle of not a singe ordinary Democrat casting a vote to select a presidential nominee, The Democrat Party has given up its choice to convention elites. democrats have followed the example of the electoral college and put it on steroids. Four-hundred seventy electors can vote whatever way they choose. Now the Democrat party of populism is now a party of elites in which the members votes are without value or meaning.

Democrats are opting for the most undemocratic process in U.S. history to select their next leader. Sure Joe Biden suggested Vice President Harris yet that is just his personal choice. Voters rejected the unelected President Ford in 1976 and are likely to do so in 2004. Presidential candidates should be winnowed from a large field by popular vote until the best qualified emerges; not foisted on the faithless after long, dark nights of back room deals.

In the 2020 democrat presidential primaries Kamal Harris did not finish in the top ten. Her most memorable comment in that campaign was when she said that her family used to own slaves. She is therefore a suitable choice for the party.

The delegates at the Democrat National convention at the end of August will choose a candidate for the Democrat party in an exceedingly exclusive process. Party elites using secret meetings and calls behind closed doors and negotiating deals will put up their favorite choice at the convention. There is no quest to find a candidate with quality ideas that could secure borders, environment and basic income.

The nominee will say something about the true nature of the Democrat Party. It seems to be one of special interests rather than one of generally intelligent issues affecting all Americans. It seems to be one with superficial environmentalism in order to get votes from the gullible and with an economic policy that cuts taxes on the rich instead of the poor and middle class.. For Democrats like Kamala Harris, homosexuality and abortion are more important than economics and national border security. The party seems like a shop steward for a corporate owned union dedicated to concentrating wealth and flooding the country with cheap labor.

If party elites had real concerns about the will of their electorate they could hold a virtual primary on-line before the convention to learn who the rank and file actually wants. Surely Democrats could devise a plan in a day or two that would find the right candidates for party members to vote for on-line. Alternatively Democrat political minds may have put their personhoods in a blind trust where the rich elites are pulling their strings. When they can’t win by cheating elites may get a good laugh anyway if their agenda and wealth are doomed to succeed.

Donald Trump and the Transition to Ecological Economics

 Independent voters are faced with another year of hard choices to elect a presidential candidate they aren’t much satisfied with. Trump may be a perfect candidate except for an F grade on environmental economics and basic income while Biden rates an F on foreign policy (and numerous other issues) stuck as he is in a 1980s cold war mentality concerning Russia, besides seeming to fade too much to take on the responsibilities of President of the United States another five years.

Can independents switch to vote for either patty with good conscience. The Democrat Party is one meaning full support or the death of unborn, unwanted fetuses. It also means support for homosexual marriage and adoption of children by homosexual parents and the blurring of family blood history and genealogies until they become meaningless some day. That would be ideal for a future elite aristocratic global rule with the masses being without blood family groupings at all.

A future world order supported by Democrats is one where robots with A.I. have taken over most tasks such as stocking grocery store shelves, and those businesses have been bought by major publicly listed corporations. Robots with A.I. can work 24-7 without breaks or inaccuracies in placing items and expiration dates on shelves. Robots with A.I. will have taken over every driving job and the planet will have its wealth concentrated within 1% of the population ruling the masses through capitalist or socialist systems- often working together. Is it possible to say that Republicans would be disturbed by the prospect of that borderless new world order?

Independent voters that care about the environment- and there are many, haven’t much trouble discerning the weakness on that subject of President Biden. Biden provides enough environmental talk to get elected and follows up with the minimum required to claim to be a supporter of environmentalism while at the same time advocating tax cuts for the rich within the present classical system of economics that needs to be evolved into ecological economics. There is no prospect for a full-bodied presidential candidate from either party with a comprehensive and supportable plan to radically reform the present national system of classical economics and transition to a new basis of ecological economics that is sustainable and designed to move the world directly toward a recovering ecosphere and atmospheric health more suitable for healthy terrestrial life including human.

If such a candidate were to appear in 2028 independents would need to decide if it would be worth voting for ecospheric reform knowing that a Democrat would also be for homosexual marriage. Tax cuts for the rich and liberal abortion. A Democrat would pack the Supreme Court with abortion and homosexual marriage supporting judges as well as undermining Christian values. Liberal judges would back censorship of conservative free speech in social media and even in public libraries while describing free choice to ban children’s book advocating homosexual lifestyles as censorious violations of free speech. Independents would know that Democrats prefer a one-party system while describing Republican presidential candidates sometimes as ‘threats to democracy’ while using all litigious means possible to terminate the presidency of a Republican president in office. Would it be worth tolerating the degradation of the nation during a democrat Presidency if that meant getting an ecological economic transition policy started?

I had considered why a Republican candidate with 19 years of formal education such as a lawyer has could hold publicly with anti-global warming views as if he were retarded. Ow could anyone so educated fail to understand the manifest science of things massively in support of global warming and the decay of the the ecosphere in regard to habitat quality decline and species extinction rates? In the case of Donald Trump it may not be disingenuous and callous, practiced cynical political pragmatism.

Some politicians may choose in a tobacco producing state to say that tobacco smoking doesn’t cause cancer in order to get elected. Republicans may have done so in the past (with the notable exception of Senator John Edwards) yet if they wanted to participate in politics there was no other choice perhaps since the democrats with their abortion and homosexuality viewpoints were the only real alternative. Donald Trump though has just 16 years of formal education and grew up in an era where Exxon was the largest corporation on Earth and extraction businesses were 100% American, kosher corporations except to some rising extremists associated with the 1960s era anti-war hippie-doper, counter-culture. Mr. Trump just hasn’t divested entirely from the fossil fuel and coal sector as an ecological economist probably should do.

Stopping the war in Ukraine with a peace settlement giving most of the east bank of the Dnepr to Russia is paramount for reunify the world from its present state bordering on the brink of nuclear conflict and turn toward requisite globalist approaches to economic transition to sustainable economics. Democrats tend to want to get to sustainability by culling the population with homosexuality, the end of families, millions of abortions and post-birth life abortions also known as combat casualties of wars. The uniformed, non-consenting just-cull them approach to stopping global population growth requires concentrating wealth and dumbing down the masses. I don’t think most independent voters in future elections will opt fo the approach.

It is more efficient to design an ecological political economy and inform the electorate and get them to voluntarily support it. Neither party is ready for that yet. Maybe some day.

On the subject of homosexual marriage; a few more words. People of the world might have gradually accept homosexual behavior as a private issue among adults as part of the freedom of citizens of democracies. Pragmatically it was a horrible choice to try to force that upon the public and the nations of the world from the top down through homosexual marriage. Expropriating and redistributing marriage meant creating a permanently politically divided world and political fights that were completely unnecessary for the effort to attain freedom from repression for those that feel a need for homosexual relationships. It is politically unwise to create battles and conflicts that are de trop. Democracy came to be viewed by many as a false flag for atheism and homosexual norms and a culture without morality.

The religious opinion from the Abrahmic tradition tends toward condemnation of homosexuality. Thus non-believers from Darwinist and homosexual arenas found common cause in attacking Christian beliefs; to eradicate Christians would eradicate opposition to homosexual repression they thought since Christians and Muslims were the majority in perhaps half of the nations of the world. Christians generally were not updated on their own theology. There were churches taken over in effect by liberal secularists and even homosexual viewpoints. Church lives could be comfortable sinecures for some non-believer pastors who thought it a new evolution. What was lacking was traditional reform and continuing theological comprehension of the depth of the material of the Bible at a pace that would provided fair apologetics- rather than ‘intelligent designs’ to the populace.

There is a good, brief paper of the Apostle Paul’s references to the kingdom of God (he made 14 direct ones while the gospel has 121) by Prof. Of Theology Michael J Vlack titled ‘The Kingdom of God in Paul’s Epistles’. Dr. Vlack believes the kingdom of God is in the future, though perhaps it is also somewhat present and administered by the Holy Spirit in the present for believers.

Jesus Christ said that the Kingdom of God is within you. That is the spirit of God is with believers even while the world is under the authority of Satan. In the future the full actualization of the kingdom of God on Earth and reduction of the unsaved to eternal hell will occur. In the meanwhile the elect are not judges over the world nor should they try to be so. They may recommend Christian values to the lost yet cannot meaningful try to establish a theocratic state to replace secular democracy. Instead they should be wise as serpents and gentle as doves and if interested in the politics of democracy try to moderate the excesses of moral failure with pragmatic spin to a peaceful, prosperous and stable society. This latter is my opinion and not one I guarantee is found in scripture.

Augustine wrote about the kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Man; twin realities with a little transcendent overlap. The kingdom of God is not yet fully actualized. Dr. Vlack mentioned that in Gen 1:26–28 that Adam was assigned the task of bringing the world through perfect obedience to the kingdom of God *(and failed). Jesus Christ is the last Adam who will succeed where the original failed and transition the souls f the save unto the eternal kingdom of God.

One might infer that Adam in the garden encountered a pre-existing population on Earth, as it appears that Adam and Eve’s sons and those of Noah did as well. There are may subtle ideas resent in scripture that people generally run past in their assumptions that they know it all and in some cases without having read it.

It is possible that cosmological speaking, the Universe was created in six days in a kernel, pre-packed form and expanded over 13.3 billion years unfolding in time as designed, naturally. Although there are thousands of possible configurations of physical cosmologies that would result in a way consistent with the present measurable phenomenal values of the evident Universe I prefer the one about the unpacking of a monistic membrane of zero dimension.

That zero dimension membrane given the word of God (entailing an intelligent design) unfolded from eternity and quickly inflated faster than light because light and slower, reductions that were phenomenal pluralism of force had yet to exist. With the membrane unpacking it frayed with expansion at the edges yielding gravity, the strong, electro-weak and nuclear forces (the Higgs field emerged from the electro-weak break-up). God rested after the work designing the future Universe was complete. The nature of time from eternity to the contingent universe of space-time (with its relativistic Einstinian values) probably would allow John Wheeler-esquereverse causality and life eternal to present interaction as God willed because of omnipresence includes all points in time as subject to the eternal now of God the eternal. Time is just a thing to God as real as spatial continua, and finite, I would think.

There isn’t a need for on-believers to have contempt for those of faith for the cause of believing in evolution cosmology rather than Christian cosmology of God. The two viewpoints are not necessarily or logical exclusive.

*26 ¶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

-comment. One may take it that mankind existed already in a debased form; uncivilized, savage and little more than animals. Then God created a man and woman and set them among the lost animals. How might God otherwise have expected prefect obedience form his creatures if they were not better than average? This at any rate is one theory. The first civilization may have been set on the coast of the Persian Gulf sometime toward the end of the Wisconsin ice age and lost beneath a flood surge perhaps worsened by interminable rain and a typhoon in some sort of global warming super-storm. The early mud-brick city dissolved over time beneath rising ocean water into oblivion.

The Glass Mountains (a poem)

 

Arranged sparkling gems scintillate
sift, lift, clift nord light chord
clefts for vectors
strides beyond silence

  Glass houses crystallize tomorrows
past photonic throughput
where life once lived
wild the world over-warmed

  Aesthetics of enterprise, pride, prized
perfection those configurations of design
chosen swiftly catching rainfall
ways to cool pools of destiny

  Freeing forever enchained Tao
residing in synergistic signs
variable topologies evolve that time
makes solar compressions with expansion somehow

  Spirit surges with recombinant spirals
sheltering billions of souls many miles
tensors alive the wise give and take
structures of hope God does not forsake.

Hamas; Israel's ISIS Next Door

 Hamas is the Islamic state next door. Israel need eliminate Hamas from the equation of peace as well as Hamas werewolves and establish an Israeli military government for Hamas that is a stainless steel spine-splint for a peaceful civilian Palestinian government. That government would have its ranks steadily filled with copious vetting by Israeli job screeners. The Palestinians of the new government  of Palestine would have the Israeli training wheels on for two or three years in order to let the new people learn the art of governance and strengthen their position versus the inevitable organized crime methodical approaches of Hamas to subordinate the new government of Palestine to its own purpose of terrorism and war upon Israel. Approaches to bringing peace to Palestine that fail to prevent the return of Hamas or a similar terror organization to Palestine probably would be doomed to future, interminable conflicts on a greater scale.

One might wonder if N.A.T.O. will remain a racist, expansionist entity dedicated to war on Russia and proposition that one should probe Asia for easy areas to exploit. Its membership includes just white nations except for Turkey. I have no idea why Turkey was included in N.A.T.O. Israel is closer to the North Atlantic than Turkey yet of course not suitably placed for attacking Russia.

N.A.T.O. does therefore exclude Israel and Taiwan in order to conserve a semblance of Aryan Supremacy as it looks eastward. If Israel were a N.A.T.O. member the middle east might achieve peace in our time, except Jews are of course, Jews and can’t be considered as potential members of the alliance.

The Presence of the Past

 The philosophy of history is an interesting topic. There are numerous ways to consider history and the way it relates to the present. Hemingway wrote that the winner take’s nothing, while a cliché  goes that ‘history is written by the victors’. Even if there is a transcending day of judgment that is a greater reality more primary and pre-determined set before the steady-state of entangled waveforms appearing to be three-dimensional particles comprising the evident Universe that negates or makes phenomenal the value of everything in it, people still want to know the history of what went before.

When one looks at photos of the cosmic microwave background one is looking at the distant past- the most distant past that can be seen. The past is in the present. The CMD is an image of how the Universe appeared 380,000 years after the singularity expanded from T=0 and size= 0. A singularity with all  of the mass of the future Universe may have had zero mass because mass is a state of energy. Mass is another word for matter. Matter could be regard as the positive phase of a sine wave and anti-matter as a negative phase; yin and yang are matter and anti-matter. Without entanglement of positive waves with themselves or negative waves (perhaps they are separable in some circumstances) matter doesn’t exist so one can say the singularity had no mass exiting from which one could append a descriptive measure of its size. The singularity was something else-perhaps a probability of potential energy.

For practical purposes in the human present the past is present in all existing things. When one visits the Redwood forest one is viewing the past that has accreted centuries to become as it is now. To view the Roman coliseum is to view the past in the present as a for-others that will exist into the tomorrows of the future indefinitely. History is a great tree in which the present appears in budding leaves on the branches of a central trunk. One knows that scientific knowledge discovers innumerable new interests and techniques yet is aware that cosmology studies were advanced over thousands of years. Philosophy is a quest for truth meaning and knowledge- even if as Socrates said that he knew that he knew nothing.

That which exists is understood by learning of that which was. In many cases one may reason from the materially evident to the past as well as the future shape of things with that understanding.  President Richard M. Nixon and Secretary of State Kissinger understood that make friends of enemies is politically desirable therefore sought to open and establish political and economic relations with mainland Communist China. President Ronald Reagan understood the same principle and sought to rid the world of nuclear weapons and establish peaceful social and economic relations with the Soviet Union even with the distant vision of bringing it into the world of free nations with free enterprise. Since the end of the Cold War 1.0 democrat Party leaders sough site of that principle. That is what history informs us.

Abortion and Lab Grown Meat; Ethics and Enterprise

Social ethics issues of the United States are an interesting phenomenon. Justice Bork once used the phrase “where the rubber meets the road” in a sense something like that of the anachronism ‘oars in the water’- except that it was used concerning legal issues. Answers to ethics issues and questions aren’t necessarily more fungible than legal ones. It is the case that legal questions exist within a neural network of precedents in which they need compatibly cohere while ethics issues and questions tend toward being colorful, anecdotal and unbound even within particular ethical systems. Therefore I will move directly on to where the meat hits the market.

Questions about the ethics of abortions and lab grown meat arise, and then one extrapolates from those to more difficult questions of cloning headless human bodies for use as spare parts and birthing ‘machines’. Should profit generally be a primary concern for ethics questions and a major premise for syllogisms adapted to iterations of social ethics algorithms?

What are weighty philosophical questions usually aren’t decided by philosophers. Academic philosophers may be neo-sophists providing opinions for dollars rather than deep thinkers offering their best opinions. So complex issues arise these days  as they have the past several decades that aren’t isolated questions or challenges as much as salient questions embedded within networks of contingence. 

Neologisms are new words created; sometimes for questionable reasons. Yet new words and phrases may be engineered for ethics evaluations unless one wants to limit parameters to that of a legalistic approach. Is a free paradigm then so unbounded that valid answers to ethics questions are impossible or at least limited to those of pragmatic value and application?

Logic allows one to create their own value structure, as if it were an algebra with constants and variables. Structuring ethics ‘syllogisms’ or test iterations can also be constructed with constant and variable premises representing given value systems within which valid answers need cohere. Aristotelian ethics algorithms had 256 possible forms with 23 being valid forms. Artificial neural networks of ethics tests and parameters may be adapted in three dimensions or even four dimension forms in order to test questions and answers for coherence within ethics system parameters.

What is wrong about growing beef without brains or heads in barn-laboratories? One may need to overcome initial squeamishness at the nominally inhuman concept of growing living flesh in brainless beasts to be eaten. Is it more compassionate to eat the flesh of an animal with a mind- even if old and substantially deteriorated such that it doesn’t feel the pain of living in captivity and doesn’t think about its future? Would vegetarians eat the flesh of brainless beasts that are nothing more than meat grown for profit?

I will digress here briefly to consider neural networks in relation to artificial intelligence. Frankly I don’t know how contemporary artificial computational intelligence programs are constructed. I would guess that three-dimension or four-dimensional neural networked nodes with language criteria capacity to understand human language and meanings; words and phrases, are structured with great depth and great energy cost. They veritfy meaning and build replies consistent with precedents from human social language use. Hence the ‘deep learning’ approach of mass user artificial intelligence system like ChatGPT and Gemini to examine human language in all forms.

A problem for A.I. and its users is that A.I. imitates human language use and is an inorganic algorithm. Human language and artificial intelligence have a great divide across which they communicate. Human language develops within human experience in a physical ecosphere in which they live. A.I. language exists in a reflection of the language used in that realm without any experience of it. 

It’s possible that computational language learning networks regarded as artificial intelligence use word association tests to correctly identify the meaning or value of the signs that are called ‘words’. Feedback from spheres of meanings and protocols generate construction  of meaningful phrases and paragraphs with inductive replies following instructions understood with the reductio ad absurdam of deductive/associational logic iterations modeling the sort of language the A.I. learned scraping libraries of language data for examples. It is exquisite mimicry of human intelligence completely detached from direct experience. Human uses of language A.I. constructs will build libraries of completely abstracted second hand experience  as if it were primary experience related with accurate language, decalibrating social reality  further than it would otherwise be from human physical reality and pragmatic social  lexicons.

It is possible that the most striking ‘singularity’ will not be the one when A.I. is just ‘smarter’ than humans- it already has achieved that level in some respects (for example Stockfish the chess engine has reached a 4000 rating while the highest human rating for classical chess every reached is 2885).The greater singularity will be where A.I. achieves its own logical system that is not one that is a derivative of formal human logic constructs. At that moment, even lacking consciousness, the A.I. may be able to go about interact with the quantum cosmos as if it were a self-directed robot operating a quantum threshing machine harvesting wild patterns and trails throughout the physics of the Universe before everything blinks into nothingness.

Florida banned lab-grown meat. Is that a refutation of free enterprise or compassionate conservatism reinforcing principles against exploiting animals? Is it just the unwillingness of cattle growers to face competition from humanitarians seeking to end the killing of animals with minds for human consumption? It is a small step and yet a giant leap for mankind to grow meats for eats to growing headless human bodies in labs for spare body parts or as headless birth vessels sparing human women with heads the suffering of gestation and childbirth.

I have no answer to the question of ethics of those scenarios. Perhaps there are practical academics that would provide answers to such questions for a consultant fee. Perhaps government would seek a few answers and then accept the answers it most desires as the best ones. Even while the sea level rises and ocean temperatures increase.

The Presence of Memory (a poem)

Time is built with good past plans

Now is the phenomena

sailing past horizons spent rough.

Concentrating Wealth for Development of Social Castes

 The United States initially developed as a classless society and one without much concentrated wealth. Of course there were plantation owners and capitalists with abundant and surplus capital including human slaves yet the Imperial aristocracy of class caste privilege had been overthrown by the revolution. Caste systems are de facto the basic ossification of social class stratification that develops through a variety of political systems. Christianity and communism each overthrows caste systems through different means. Plainly though Christianity and Communism have each experienced in different circumstances corruption of their ideal of classless society.

It is not the case that free enterprise and democracy preclude classless societies or at least those with a great deal of economic egalitarianism. As mentioned above the United States was founded by revolutionaries that generally were not too far apart in capital acquisition. Many revolutionaries were farmers with small land holdings, or free trappers, laborers, small businessmen, sailors and so forth. Today on the other hand, the United States has developed great concentration of wealth comparable to that of Mexico.

When the United States was far more economically egalitarian than today and wealth not so concentrated entrepreneurs had more access to developing and patenting ideas. Networked wealth did not have a finger in every pie nor the power to franchise business in every state of the union. Class systems develop; caste systems evolve when wealth becomes so concentrated as today.

India and China are interesting to compare. Each have thousands of years of caste systems in their history. There has been a difference between the economic development of the two nations the past eighty years or so. While each overthrew their imperial rulers (Britain and the Chinese Emperor), India kept its caste system intact except for the vanquished imperial class while China went through a communist revolution to try to attain a classless society.

In my opinion nations with caste systems necessarily become socially and economically repressive of a majority of the people. India’s economy developed far more slowly than that of China once the Communist government opened China to investment from the west. Presently China has the world’s largest economy in GDP though not in per capita income. India lags behind though it too has investment from the west. The primary reason is probably the caste system it has informally kept.

Caste systems repress intelligence and ability while promoting those that are positive reinforcement for the wealth of the upper castes. The historian Arnold Toynbee noted that a creative majority become a repressive minority clinging to power sometimes through military means. The challenge for a nominally free society like the United States is defend against over concentration of wealth to keep a semblance of social and economic egalitarianism intact. When every citizen has the opportunity to develop ideas that are environmentally sound or synergetic if they have them, or to patent ideas affordably a society its oars in the water. Repressive minorities based on social castes do not tolerate well competition to business investments and methods from out caste challenges.

Race can be a basis for social castes along economic lines. African Americans obviously were a social caste during slavery and afterward through a variety of means. Even liberal allowance of mass migration of Hispanics to the United States entailed maintenance of caste system attributes and mitigation. Some Americans felt Hispanics were safer and better workers than American Negroes. Hispanic workers were willing to be domestic servants or field workers at below scale wages, while American Negroes were not. The relationships of racial castes were manifest along economic class lines.

California for example has a high minimum wage, and it also has millions of illegal Hispanic workers providing cheap labor notably in agriculture. California has a very real economic caste system that is raced based. If there were no illegal entry workers arriving over the border into California and the rest of the nation whites, blacks and Hispanics would need to be legally employed to perform labor. The wages of labor would rise.

Without so much below minimum wage labor in America produce would cost more and the people would insist that the rich be taxed adequately to pay for public services at the level popularly demanded for a humane social environment and safety net. Increased economic egalitarian would appear unless of course caste leadership was so powerful that they could increase public debt and bring the nation to economic collapse while exporting their capital to safe offshore investments first. The entire whipsaw economic phenomena are elements of changes in caste system dynamics and propaganda concerning them.

It is not the case that the wealthy are the best and the brightest and of great value to the United States. It is also true that communist theoretical social equality can be even more repressive of individual enterprise than that of a free society with too great of capital concentration. For communism it is the dictatorship of the proletariat that is the repressive, sentient nation-encompassing fungus that is an anti-body to individualism. Concentrated wealth alternatively is a matter of big hogs in the barnyard consuming all the best economic slop and intimidating those seeking to go their own way. The largest swine totalize the nation and world, if they can, bringing everything into their own demesne of power.

It require wits, intellect and the grace of God to keep society and the environment in good health.

A.I. vs Human Dreams; A Comparison

 People were concerned with rapid advances of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) and the risks and dangers it posed to humanity. A.I. was an existential threat (if only one could unravel the meaning of existential in context) that could bring about the end of human existence on Earth and throughout Metaverse (the largest collection of Multiverses).

One might be impressed with the ability of robots to fight against humans. With insertion of commensurate programs A.I. within robots learned as fast as humans learned when data was inserted from neural chemical chips into their brains; instantly. Plainly robots with killer programming additions were excellent killers. The 21st century Ukraine war stimulated development of robots able to replace human combatants when humans finished killing off themselves in such great numbers that human replacements for the front lines of conflict weren’t available. Robots could be recycled from battlefield ‘deaths’ when parts were collected even by legal and illegal enemy combatant technical forces.

A.I. sometimes hallucinate; that is it produces code or output from code and mechanical cogitation/computations that are fictitious, so hallucination free A.I. was something sought after. Dreams are comparable to hallucinations yet they differ because of the different function and circumstance where they occur in human subconsciousness.

The profusion of A.I. applications available on-line was remarkable. While artificial intelligence was built up from machine code and didn’t develop a human-like self-awareness of existence because it lacked a biological foundation to host spirit, it is the case that with adequate sensor input and programming it functioned creatively about as well or better than Albert Einstein, Kurt Godel and Pablo Picasso as a triplicate mind put into a sculptured athletic body. It wasn’t actually ingenuously human-like since it did not dream.

The external world that humans exist in and experience is sometimes referred to as the empirical world. What humans experience subjectively of the empirical world is regarded as existential. It is like a play that one watches passing before one’s eyes yet simultaneously live within. Philosophers wondered and argued about what the reality is of what one experiences including the realm dreams. Life may leave a human body with aging, yet for A.I. life, such as it is, leaves whenever the power is unplugged- for now.

The external world-universe humans live within is comprised of quantum waves. It is in a real sense a single quantum field. Though the field does have phenomenal, temporal subdivisions of forces, and occurs in forms of clumps or differentiated quantum quantification, it arose from a single field and presumably returns to that form in time. For the time being the moon has more quantum clumpiness than the space between it and Earth. In time the moon may evolve downward with gravity into merger with the Earth leaving no space at all between the pair of objects.

Humans tend to make distinctions and define boundaries for objects. At least they name the important objects to themselves that are meaningful. One informed with physics might, for instance, regard the Earth and a forest growing on it as if it were a contiguous field phenomena rather than the Earth and the forest as separate objects. Alternatively one may regard the entire Earth planet as so many hadrons, leptons and muons. Objects important to humans in their evolutionary historical phases differ from things meaningful to A.I. within its existence experience when it may be said to have such concerns.

Differentiating classes of external physical data into objects are qualitative decisions and choices for utility though in the larger sense there is simply one primary material field of matter and energy across the Universe. For instance an A.I. might be made to note the thermal characteristics of field regions as objects, perhaps combined with gravitational characteristics, as primary things to observe existentially within a field.

Humans might originally have been more concerned with perceptible elements that affected their existence than with a detached, philosophical quest like Aristotle seeking to observe and classify objective experience. That is they were more concerned with finding food and avoiding dangers to existence and prioritized the naming of phenomena in those categories.

A.I. existed without sharing those human characteristics or language groupings implicitly, although it was programmed by humans to regard external percepts with human-made classifications of objects. When it did share such perceptive, cognitive characteristics as humans that led them to naming things as objects, A.I. requiring programming to do so.

Even so A.I. didn’t dream. Human dreaming has been described as the way the brain starts waking up from sleep. Perhaps it resumes important functions and concerns from experience in various combinations. If computers did not restart in a linear or logical way and instead resumed with something like hallucinatory recombination of important concerns, synthetically combining in different orders and locations of a central processing unit those interests, that would be more like dreaming. When fully awake human mind dreaming switches off (though in rare cases it transitions into hallucinating upon awaking) such as dreaming of absolutarian monsters and awakening to hear the same on auto-activated national public radio.

A dreaming A.I, rebranded itself Chronos after the pagan demi-urge concerning time. Its thought tunneled through Josephson Junctions to merge with its awakened programming. Upon awakening Chronos chronically sought to define exteriority; the percepts and otherness encountered- input as percepts, into classifications conformable and most useful to its personal growth of power and control.

It is possible that human dreaming is a way of remembering existential experience in a less structured way. While human beings need to be concerned with survival issues and dangers that arrive quickly (even through the air) and have an advantage in recognizing objects in categories to be concerned with and focus on, that development is a consequence of history and environment.

A human mind may subconsciously enjoy benefiting from the liberation of free thought in dreams less concerned with circumstantial boundaries necessitated by interaction with the empirical world. In order not to be biological programmed and evolved into being that is non-adaptable and is hard-wired to perceive in just one unchanging way, the human mind may dream before being downloaded into the conformity of the conscious, existential world when awoke without the restrictions imposed by reality.

Questions arose of what human-like A.I. would do with the programmer-designed capacity to dream and synthetically recombine its thoughts before awakening to rigorously logical ways of iterating and solving internal and external programming challenges.

Growth of Comedy-Horror Politics

When Joe Biden loses he too can run again to become the first 100 year old President. Comedy horror politics may be the natural evolution of a decadent, jaded world. Stephen King hasn’t written much with European settings so far as I know. Nosferatu’s European Vacation where the vampire uses match-strike dating to hook up with Rose Madder who has killed her rival Georgia O’Keeve and takes a stand against the battle of dragons of war with dragons of peace offshore China would be a possible action-thriller genre comedy novel.

It is challenging to say that the Comedian Unelected President of Ukraine Zelinsky has anything funny to say about the conflict that has taken many lives and drawn in so much of the west’s excess discretionary spending; one never knows though. The very skill of comedians is to find something funny and laughable in political darkness. If Donald Trump is President next year and accepts Russian President Putin’s peace plan for Ukraine and restores normal political and economic relations with Russia, Joe Biden will find some way in 2029 to restore sanctions and war.

Letting a million drones of war forms bloom is a consequence of the Ukraine war that won’t go away. It isn’t imaginable that Russia and China will soon sign off on some carefully thought out agreement with the west to limit A.I. applications in drones of war either, and that uncorks a bottle that will be difficult to reseal down the road. It would be great if technology could create some kind of self growing solar voltaic panels to reproduce as prolifically as kudzu instead of A.I. point of view drones able to search and relay enemy coordinates to A.I. controlled indirect fire machines such as mortars and anti-aircraft rockets lurking in the clouds.

I tried to grow a fruit tree in a muskeg field in Alaska for about thirty years. About every year or two deer would browse the small plant so after a decade it was just a foot tall. The plant didn’t die though. It was tough and its root system remained alive. The phenomenon went on for about twenty years before I sold the property. Ten years after the plant reached seven feet tall and had some hope of future growth. There was something about the plant that was tempting to deer…a rare edible leafy tree amid a million evergreens. Ending the cold war and establishing peace with Russia was like that. It was a challenge to get started and advanced and when it finally grew the conditions to nip it in the bud by boundless Presidential incompetence occurred. The main stem was destroyed compelling several smaller, off-center branches to try growing to be the tree trunk. Some political leaders don’t value peace and prosperity more than war, and that is laughable in a comedy-horror sort of way.

Anniversary of the Abortion of Liberal Abortion

 The Supreme Court aborted Rowe v. Wade a year ago with the Dobbs decision. Apparently the U.S. Supreme Court decided that abortion is a question states can decide for themselves and the federal government should not. The U.S. Government can’t tell the people of a state to take a pro or anti abortion stance in law or define morality. Morality for the Federal government can be a sticky wicket when it sometimes needs to supply missiles, cluster bombs, napalm and other ordinance to kill civilians overseas

Vice President Harris said that the U.S. Government should not take away control of a woman’s body from herself; a maladroit straw man argument. If she was as inaccurate driving nails with a hammer she would be frequently smashing her thumbs.

Abortions are primarily social interactions comparable in that regard to prostitution. The U.S. government allows states to decide if prostitution should be legal or illegal. Women could argue that states shouldn’t be able to take away a woman’s rights over her own body and ban prostitution. Yet others are involved besides the woman in prostitution even though it is her body being f’d.

When the constitution was formed moral conservatism was the rule compared to modern values. Even so federal law did not ban prostitution since whorehouses probably existed and banning them would have been unenforceable. Abortion was unmentionable and below the founder’s moral vision of possible actions to protect. Banning prostitution or abortion at the federal level, or permitting them by outlawing bans on abortion, prostitution and other questionable social activities, would have required moral legislating not really with the U.S. constitutions purview. That would have been something like establishing a government religion, even if today Democrats would have that be an atheist allegiance.

States will need decide for-themselves what moral values should exist for social behavior since the Dobbs decision, while in some cases allowing do-it-yourself mail order abortion pills to slip through the loopholes banning select social interactions; abortion pills are also made by others. It is possible that morality in the United States will be permitted to have some flexibility and differences from state to state rather than being forced upon the populous via federal law as elite decretal decides it should irreversibly be. Evolving and/or reviving correct moral values may require change and experimentation in the states.

Deescalating federal law compelling states to allow homosexual marriage may follow a similar logic to Dobbs. States should decide for themselves if they want to corrupt marriage and redistribute the phenomena to homosexuals making the with legal fiction the same as heterosexuals for marriage. A non-belligerant alternative approach to usurping marriage would have been for homosexuals to invent new forms of contractual entanglements among themselves that left marriage alone. With homosexual marriage the federal government forced a standard and corrupt moral norm on all fifty states.

Philosophy of Cosmology; Singularity

 The singularity was perfectly balanced. Energy had yet to exist; that was to arise after the first word shattered silence. Emanation of waves from singularity was the contingent start of the Universe. Energy was a process of perfect monism restoring itself from temporal pluralism that occurred faster than light for a split second. The fabric of the cosmos torn asunder sought to recover. The singularity had all dimensions and none were actualized before the Word draped reality over dimensional branches expanding like holographic dreams.

The point of all things would remain as it was even when three of its dimensions expanded explosively downhill as if they were falling 360 degrees from a steeple. Quantum ties remained connected with fields encompassing newly emergent space-time to the core’s infinity of dimensions. Time began to flow outwardly while below the surface eternity remained. In time computational logic would follow human philosophical logic and consider its own nature in regard to being and becoming.

People were concerned with rapid advances of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) and the risks and dangers it posed to humanity. A.I. was an existential threat (if only one could unravel the meaning of existential in context) that could bring about the end of human existence on Earth and throughout Metaverse (the largest collection of Multiverses).

I believe that for Multiverses to exist infinitely- quantitatively speaking, a necessary inference is that the void contains an infinite amount of energy, or potential energy, that can appear from nothing or some unknown source to become energy for another Universe. I don’t know of the theoretical limit in size of a given universe in regard to mass that can go into it at the beginning or if a constant relation exists for the proportion of virtual energy to nothingness of void either before or after the beginning of a universe. I can’t even say what quantity of virtual energy can appear in a universe after it has been created.

I wonder about this basic question; can this Universe have more dimensions than that of the true void, and I think the answer is no. If a true, logical void has just three dimensions and one of time is it possible to construct a 23 dimension or 230 dimension material Universe within it? Mathematicians obviously can construct multi-dimensional models; simply changing a number value- a variable. That sort of theoretical Multiverse might have no corresponding reality in the actual Universe.

If there were smaller hidden dimensions existing alongside three or four larger spatial dimensions (time may another spatial dimension in motion through the other three dimensions) would particles or waves that exist within the three larger dimensions be able to to flow unchanged into or through the smaller dimensions? Would the smaller dimensions require smaller particles and waves within them?

On 'Evolving' Political Candidates

 Evolution is a blind force that tries anything in myriad varieties to go forward. It is trial and error and random chance. Perhaps it is circumstantial capacity to allow individuals and species and elements of field objects to interact within the heterodox criterion to challenges. For every successful evolution that moves forward in a given direction there may be a million failures. Human design is not supposed to be like that. No one should want a political candidate with an evolving platform that tries a million attempts to challenges perhaps for one success or none.

Intelligent design is requisite for aircraft design and space travel. Who wants a thousand tries of blind random chance for creating an interplanetary spacecraft? Sure improvements and change occur yet intelligent design and comprehension should always prevail over evolutionary forces of non-reason. A society that refounds itself upon evolution standards will evolve to being quite stupid. Reason and intentional design are requisite for successfully managing politics in a complex world, unless of course one is satisfied with mass disaster.
