Marjorie Taylor Greene Should Run for President on the Green Side of The Force

 The political split between President Trump and Marjorie Taylor Greene as ended her effectiveness as a Republican politician. She should seize the day and convert to the green side of the force and lead a high tech Green Party environmental, peace and prosperity party campaign for the Presidency in 2028. Trump has the audacity to try impossible things like being President and ending the Ukraine war; so should she.

Tax the Rich More to Rectify Democracy from Elitist Power

 Concentrated wealth concentrates political power too. For democracy to work; even a hybrid one with a representative government,  the concentration of wealth need be de-escalated.  Taxing the very rich 60% would accomplish that and roll back the power of plutonomy slightly.

  What to do with the income? Just two things. Pay off the public debt and compensate and support Americans unable to find meaningful work because of changes in the economy from products of the rich like A.I., robotics, other technology and/or social persecution.

  The entire structure of the economy may need to be overhauled soon because of economic, environmental and demographic challenges. A more egalitarian allocation of national income would make it politically possible for needed political adaptation to occur. And that requires much higher taxes on the rich.

One of the troubles of making meaningful political change to the political establishment is the existence of broadcast and paid professional media that panders to select elites on the left and right, and that perpetuates the existence of elites on the left and right running government rather than a more egalitarian selection of society.

The Greatest Ever Chiseled

 Presidents recently have wanted to be ranked as the greatest or smartest in history. They would have their images imposed on Mt. Rushmore if they could after a month or year in office. They are given Nobel prizes or Popes to feel good about themselves- so why not go ahead and use some kind of laser-holography to put their images on Mt. Rushmore at night over those already existing in repose, chiseled serenely in stone by day.

  When the next greatest ever leader arrives the new face of glory may be presented to awestruck masses breathing free with some minor percent of carbon monoxide spoiling the purity of things.

President Trump and Frank Zappa

 The improvisational, creative rock star Frank Zappa said something like ‘Politics is the entertainment division of the military-industrial complex’. That was a perceptive remark at a deeper level of social analysis. Zappa’s remark might be upgraded to include the 5% of the 1% with the military industrial complex regarding who politics in the United States primarily benefits. One wonders about President Trump though; when he has seemed to dissent with simply expanding wars upon second rate nations he appears to be an exception to that paradigm. Yet when he follows it such as to support a war against Russia he seems to be right in tune with Zappa’s prognostication.

The late Charlie Kirk sought to bring more Christians into political engagement in politics with his 'Turning Point U.S.A.'. He had saved 12 million dollars while growing that organization from age 18, so he was probably sincere about faith and bring the nation to return more to the faith of the founders. It is not particularly surprising that a radical left-leaning youth in a state with a dominant non-Christian religion was the tool to take down an existential irritant. One might wonder if anything of that tragedy was at all meaningful in light of the Zappa paradigm of politics largely going where it is directed by the M.I.C. and plutonomy.

The late Charlie Kirk is a good example of the problems Christians have in engaging politcs. Can one even affect contemporary politics significantly without being rich? Jesus said that it was easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God. That presents a Hobson's choice of a sort to those with Christian spirit who would like to make the nation a better place.

The Ukraine conflict generated by massive paranoia, European perfidy in politics, the worth of wars to military and industrial corporations, Russian resistance to N.A.T.O. eastward expansion and loss of Ukraine to the west via President Clinton is a difficult inertial monstrosity to resist. President Trump has gone as far as he feels reasonable- even sending some American military officers to Belarus to observe the Belarussian-Russia joint military exercises that were made to offset N.A.T.O. military exercises near Belarus. 

Obviously the war is counterproductive to global well being, peace, security and economics. Some of the military-industrial establishment may even have realized that expending conflict to increase profits may be harmful to themselves too if the conflict transitions into World War Three. Maybe they won’t resist a draw-down even though traditional profit tactics goad them forward into hellfire. 

The Democrat Party is very dangerous though. They seem to lack competence at politics generally and serve to render actual functioning marketplace of ideas style Democracy improbable because of the mass confusion and incompetence they bring to the electorate. Disseminating lies, illusions and so forth are commonplace for Democrats. Apparently they really are against U.S. border security and a democracy of, by and for the people of the United States rather than anyone in the world in general. Massive civil disobedience that is perpetual has the effect of making political self-determination by the electorate ineffective. The party simply is a third column for those that attack every sort of American establishment within the United States without concern for the harm dumped upon fellow citizens as a result of their party’s political malfeasance.

Democrats throw so much smoke and bull into the political system that accomplishing meaningful environmental economic progress, or ending the Ukraine conflict; slowing massive species extinction and keeping the U.S. Government finances solvent are set not on the back burner- they thrown into deep freeze, Democrats are the smoke and mirrors mass confusion tool for concentrating wealth. They may provide election cycle rhetoric and raising taxes on the rich yet act on that only when they haven’t political power to actually do so. Fundamentally Frank Zappa was correct. There must be some coordination and some level to make the American electorate so badly informed and unconcerned about the state of the nation, the public debt and impoverished lives of millions that exist even when the unemployment rate is quite low. Upgrading and innovating where things Frank Zappa accomplished in music yet in U. S. politics that capacity seems notably absent.

Can't or a Trans-finite Leader (a poem)

 

A nation finds its leaders in little gold match boxes
That strike series of balloons cascading from the sky
Where peace is composed like enigmatic marvels of potential
And wars begin and end in graveyards of silence and memories
Inflating pasts and futures with Eurodollars and enterprises
Oceans of incandescent lighting flood the darkness
Cast as echoes of being and becoming
Unintentional pyramids of possibilities

Where Ozymandas reigns in gelatinous icebergs drifting softly
From warmer regions to cooler, interstellar voids
Fully inscribed with meaning and meaninglessness
Joined together fortuitously like matter and anti-matter
Bringing nothing from something to the fore
Grounds of perceptible objects
Minus Gödel’s set theorems with a set of all sets
Including itself transcending sets in-themselves
As the greatest set is more than a set
An infinity entailing all infinities
A trans-finite infinity greater than all numbers
Yet kings and presidents occur
Like one handed door knocks on empty space
Plans set aside with emergent challenges
Of super-artificial intelligence brighter than the sum of all human knowledge

A world environment with an atmosphere lit by sunlight
Travelling from a star 8 minutes away
Greenhouse gassed with maladaptive technology
Economic infrastructure reinforcing finite values
Trade and commodities requiring motivation to generate
Leading acquisition in narrow, proximal self interests
Tightening the noose of time winding down
While trillions will live in the interstellar void beyond the Oort Cloud
When synthetic recombinant inventions of super-intelligence
Are applied by the will of man
As necessity compels applications
Without hierarchy a basic income for mankind becomes ubiquitous
When nothing remains beside worship, exploration, learning and pleasure
Demons of war would destroy
To become Ozymandas for-themselves
Ramses the II in the flesh.

Republicans Also Seem to Support Homicide to Concentrate Wealth

Donald Trump, Condolezza Rice and House Speaker Johnson have expressed support for fueling the war machine in Ukraine to keep homicide rolling. Reason contradicts their choice to fail to share Ukraine with Russia and select homicide as a way to get it all for the .01% of the rich.

   The Cold War ended because Presidents Reagan and Gorbachev could trust enough to meet halfway and flip the Soviet Union to free enterprise. A new nation was conceived that broke apart into former Soviet Republics and Russians were bilked out of Ukraine that is the deep cause of war at present.

https://suno.com/s/9txYEbzBg8rKCEuL

  The Ukraine war in effect is a Russian civil war with the parent country overthrowing the rebels supported by the rich of the west. Most people of Earth if asked would probably say they are against the war.

  President Reagan knew that trust and common decency were necessary in making good political relationships that transcend the necessity of conflicts the inferior sort of man and woman require to exist. There is a better way of political life that eschews homicide as the go to choice in international relations that neither Democrats or Republicans can understand. Peace with Russia keeping the East Bank of the Dnepr should be established directly and regions normalized with full ecological economic progress going ahead in East and West Ukraine.

 Government is supposed to be of the people, by the people and for the people; not if the rich, by the rich and for the rich that regard humans as inferior tools for exploitation and dehumanization.

 

Remembering the Reagans, etc

 I used to spend a fair piece of time boating in S.E. Alaska. I saw several interesting vessels- one a stern steered boat with a large oar for a rudder, the sailing ship Lady Washington etc. I also saw former President Reagan's yacht near Wrangell as it passed on the way to town. I will recount that experience after mentioning briefly a pair of experiences myself- one on a skiff, to leave a chronological note.

For a few years when it was 32 my feet would turn black from cyanotic blood and I restored circulation by taking a hot shower-then the skin would turn back to pink or flesh color from a line above my ankle moving down eventually to my toes. It wasn't frostbite- it was something like trenchfoot that did it. I spent a day walking through deep water snow and creeks in combat boots. Comparable to keeping my feet in a bucket of ice and slushy water for a day. A couple days later they were swollen up like balloons and I had to get extra wide tennis shoes sizes to big for temporary use. I reinjured them in 2018 while bringing a skiff down from Juneau in October and nearly drowned crossing Taku Inlet. My boots had a leak and they stayed cold and wet for days. Then I returned to the shed and it was like my feet were on fire and hell for a week. I got snowed in and couldn't leave to go to a clinic in town. I made it eventually and got a drug that makes the brain not feel pain. My feet were nearly all recovered before that last injury.

https://suno.com/s/xWfqJoHuby5E4Rrg

Sometime around the Republican National convention of 1992 Ronald and Nancy Reagan yachted up the inside passage and put in at Wrangell.

https://suno.com/s/z2nno76Ttde4VdQ0

Ronald Reagan like seemed a tool of God, a man of peace and Christian- wise as a serpent yet gentle as a dove in a political ecosphere of vipers, and yet he seemed to be fading and looked under the weather. Nancy was on his arm and seemed healthy enough and to be reinforcing him as they walked along the sidewalk with a small entourage. Nancy was also an actress.

Ron looked at me as I was taking my last $100 from the bank when he walked past outside the bank window. He was wearing a wool sweater he had bought at Hickok's- a clothing store that opened shortly before his visit and closed not long after the Reagans left Wrangell. I had served as a reservist mostly for 6 years of his administration and that changed the way I looked at things perhaps. Reagan was taking heat for the Iran contra connection with Oliver North at the time and was perhaps getting away from the media spotlight in Alaska on a yachting sojourn. I thought I would help him out so I wrote an letter to an editor asking if Reagan had secretly been a communist -really counter-intuitive to what the public thought he had been. The premise was that he had been a Democrat and admired Franklin D Roosevelt when a young guy, and added several trillion dollars to the national debt as President (the debt excusable as a one-time thing in order to end the Cold War- no subsequent President should have followed that deficit spending example).

Shortly after that it was announced that he had Alzheimers and went into seclusion for the remainder of his days. I worked for a temporary agency at a construction site years later with a guy for a day that looked like Reagan's twin brother; he was a bricklayer. Nice guy. Interesting times. Maybe the Reagans used their acting skills to get some of their political work done.

Reagan was somewhat transparent- there is a lot of biographical stuff written about him. I think Nancy not so much- well I haven't read that. At that level the public persona needs to coincide with the private. Interesting thing I read that was somewhat biographical was a history by an insider of how Reagan de-escalated nuclear missile stocks with the Soviets. He was the only one who thought about that much in his administration- his goal was to eliminate all nuclear weapons. Everyone else in the government; and this continued into the start of the Bush administration, was aboard the traditional hawkish point of view. 

Reagan was a kind of voice crying in the wilderness in his own way and Gorbachev met him halfway. I suppose there is a secret history of Mikhail and his philosopher wife Reza that hasn't been written and never will be. I suspect that the Gorbachev's were the tip of an iceberg of high level insiders that wanted to end communism in Russia yet had to be rather careful covert and indirect to get that done because traditional, conservative communists would not tolerate that movement toward liberalization directly. 

https://suno.com/s/yL347Rks88vUjIqB Night Rises in Darkness

Presidents may have a lot of secret communications, methods and means perhaps unknown to history. Heck, I thought I saw Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky in a ferry terminal parking lot in Juneau in 1994 I believe it was. She had on a fishnet sweater kind of thing over a t-shirt and asked if I had change for a dollar so she could use a pay phone to call a taxi- She said 'I've got to get Randy home'. Bill was dressed casually like a regular grunge Alaskan, yet wearing a very large gold star like a sheriff badge some place down south that no one in Juneau wears anything vaguely resembling it, and appeared to be drunkish. Secrets people keep lol Everyone has seen celebrities though at some time. I did see Sean Connery at the Royal Sonesta Hotel in New Orleans at 2 in the morning getting out of a limousine in the parking garage where I was cleaning the gutter as a temporary over night worker.

Pres Trump Should Court Greenland with Snow Cones and Chocolate

Getting Congress to pass a Baffin Bay Resolution to enable a military entry to Greenland after an attack by Greenlanders on a U.S. Naval warship wouldn't have much credibility. President Trump need go about the acquisition through constitutional means. That means Greenland need chose to petition Congress to join the U.S.A.  Buy them something they need like a vast supply of snow cones and they might. want to become Americans.

Alternatively he might approach the security criterion through some sort of 100 year agreement for management as in developing the Panama canal  (the Hay–Bunau-Varilla Treaty) . Technically the United States does not have a history of expanding through force. President Trump needs to sound better and more lawful in his intentions. To go about taking Greenland through force would be an impeachable offense as a high crime. There is no reason for the President to create his own vulnerability.  

Trump-Zelensky Cease-Fire Deal is a Way to Extend the War

 President Trump seems as if he is moving closer toward the Von Biden point of view of the Ukraine conflict. That is he has made a cease-fire proposal entirely advantageous to Ukraine. It would give Ukraine 30 days to receive new military equipment and cash from the U.S.A. and stop Russia from continuing its advance to recover lost land lost in Ukraine in the Clinton carpet-bagging regimen.

In order to stop the war firm border lines need to be drawn, sanctions ended and a demilitarization of Ukraine need evolve. With those conditions established and agreed upon by the principle parties a cease-fire could be applied and the peace treaty actualized.

Common sense was President Trump’s approach to global economics in regard to Ukraine. Unless the peace treaty is produced within a few months further harm to the global trading position of the United States may occur.  The U.S.A. is already number two in world trade exports; its share may drop further minimizing markets abroad while China's exports increase favorably. Germany signed new agreements with China and several European nations have signed new agreements with several South American nations. Meanwhile U.S. leadership is discovering new ways to make an enemy of Russian and serve as Europe's militaire attardé.

https://suno.com/song/da8d4cd0-5355-4029-85f2-ce629a2af9ed?sh=lXYpjuUBJCOqXxEH

President Putin may have his own ideas about what conditions need exist for a peace treaty. A cease-fire without a peace treaty is a way for the losing party in a boxing match to get out of a round where he is taking a beating to recover and strategize for the next round. In other words it can be a tool for protracting a war.

https://www.politico.eu/article/us-ukraine-russia-saudi-cease-fire-talks-after-talks-in-jeddah/

Perhaps President Trump has a plan B that he will give to the Russians after they reject the cease-fire agreement. Sometimes it is challenging to discern what is political perfidy and what is part of a negotiating tactic. Observers like to get to the real content sooner rather than later.

Investigative Reduction to Find a Foundation of Existence?

 “A Different Universe; Reinventing Physics from the Bottom Up’ by Robert Laughlin- a Nobel Laureate in Physics was a good read. It was some time ago when I read that. He speculated about phase changes comprehensively reforging nature, including mind. Scalar fields aren’t the only sort of potential analogy for space-time histories. God may have issued Leibniz’s one-dimensional spiritual monads with a thought- one couldn’t use a reductionist investigation from a Universe to reach a point before the existence of mind with much conviction. It’s always an extrapolation of what probably occurred. One sets compass directions and speculates on what can be found at the start or end rather, if one goes an infinite distance in time and space and what can be found there. One seeks theory-consistent candles at half the distance to the theoretical end that might provide confirmation. Until one has a better theory some are satisfied they have produced the final theory and explanation of everything.

A theory of God besides that of divine revelation is as difficult to prove or disprove as the existence of extraterrestrials that may deem it better to stay hidden or that have evolved to a non-physical, non-planetary form of being. I appreciate frontier scouts mapping the known and speculating about lies beyond the observable.

https://www.udio.com/songs/ppYMShLZBG91focYi1NUDe

Physicists speculate that below absolute zero there is a phase change to infinitely hot. Hell may be the necessary destiny for all that have an immortal soul and aren't gathered to heaven with Jesus Christ; the universe would take the lost to a singularity and infinite heat or a phase change from a cold dead low temperature Kelvin Universe to absolute hot.

I believe comparing human and artificial intelligence and the question of if they are the same thing or equivalents is easy to provide an answer to. It is like comparing a carburetor or distributor to human intelligence and asking if they are the same thing. A.I. is a kind of fancy distributor of bits or qubits quite unlike a mind. Maybe computer architecture could get more bits for the buck if they used motion with existing micro-circuits in some way to multiply logic gate grids in Hilbert Space. Maybe they could add more dimensions to logic gate grids.

Hegel was just providing a scaffold for Darwin and Marx, each of whom would deny the teleology of Hegel. I lean toward agreement that dualism doesn't need to be in an either/or relationship with physicalism in the same manner that monism and pluralism may simultaneously coexist in physicalist parameters for a Universe. The actual construction of quantum field, particle-waves etc are very strange in regard to a wealth of philosophic lexicons. Plainly mind is a different configuration of field entanglement. Since all other physical elements tie into the basic local field (the Higgs) providing an extra dimension for two dimensional, massless particles it is reasonable to expect that mind and intentionality also alter quantum relationships. It is difficult to know if that is permanent. Free will is apparently another emergent state or phase change arisen from and within the local concatenated field entanglement compresence.

The Democrat Party May Be a Cult

 Pejorative opinions about the nature of social groupings abound; that's the nature of original sin. Hate of antipathetic and even entirely neutral social identity groups from politics, to race, wealth status etc are the normal way of the human race. Without God the futility of mankind only increases.

Defining very intense social groups as a cult is customary. Farming may be a cult, if one goes on the Miriam Webster footing. "Cult, which shares an origin with culture and cultivate, comes from the Latin cultus, a noun with meanings ranging from "tilling, cultivation". There are other etymologies including French and meanings such as adopt, adore, worship. I tend to understand it as a sub-culture of a small scale.

Macron Moves France Towards War with Russia

French President Macron took a big step toward the destruction of Europe through nuclear war with Russia. He has said that Russia is a threat and need be pacified- apparently meaning rendered harmless and without weapons or missiles. Macron is organizing upgrades to the Ukraine conflict placing France on a path to direct war with Russia. Perhaps he can do better than Napoleon did in failing to capture Moscow.

One might keep in mind that Macron’s blimpistry occurs against a backdrop where France quit N.A.T.O. before the Soviet Union faded away. The French may have wanted to seem harmless in the hope that the Soviets would not nuke them.

https://theconversation.com/french-nuclear-deterrence-for-europe-how-effective-could-it-be-against-russia-251512#:~:text=French%20nuclear%20deterrence%20against%20the%20Russian%20threat&text=But%20the%20fact%20remains%20that,warheads%20on%20the%20Russian%20side

Europeans are functionally insane in regard to war on their continental portion, history informs us. At some point fighting against invasions from Asia and Africa, Europeans had legitimate reasons for conflict with external threat vectors, yet Russia is not an outside threat vector in regard to the Ukraine. Among themselves the dynamics of European political power brought them to war against themselves interminably; it was only with the nearly complete destruction of Europe in the Nazi war- the Second World War, that Europe became generally pacified for several decades. Europe was broken and military depleted.

The rise of American and Russian/Soviet nuclear powers rendered Europe impotent; they were compelled to rebuild in peace and develop a new prosperity with comparatively small military spending. Opportunities for world conquering were set back. Political egos smoldered forced to await a future when wars for global conquest could resume. Then Russia/the Soviet Union opted for peace, freed Eastern Europe and peace should have developed.

https://eadaily.com/en/news/2025/03/05/macron-intends-to-pacify-russia-france-calls-for-chiefs-of-staff

Besides the war on terror and a brief Balkans post-communist adjustment war peace continued. Maladjustment of the post-Soviet reapportionment of political entities created conflicts and the potential for the Ukraine war, yet peace prevailed. Europe then became the EU and N.A.T. O. Expanded eastward as if Russia was some kind of threat. That breaking of trust and taking advantage of Russian weakness after the end of the Soviet Union to expand N.A.T.O. was a direct cause of the present conflict. A rearmed Europe finds itself in a position to flex its strength and bring the world to the brink of nuclear war because ts leadership is replete with historically runty malcontents and agitators striving to outdo one another with militancy toward Russia.

https://www.udio.com/songs/m2Ew6wpxksuzVEJ9dXTTju

France and Europeans would like to be the big dog of politics again. In 2020 the French Army had 118,000 members and not all of those were combat soldiers. Europeans have experienced weak U.S. leadership in the Biden, Obama and Clinton administrations that was too Eurocentric. They may have believed that with the end of the Soviet Union and reunification of Germany that Russian power had vanished forever and Russian nuclear weapons power would disappear. That latter point was a delusion.

Macron will need to adjust to the fact that Russia has 5,580 nuclear weapons and France something like 290. Russia is not going away and France will not be the planet’s big dog. Europe rather than butting their heads into a concrete wall need adjust to reality and accept that peace is again going to be forced upon them; this time before they bring about a global world war.

President Trump on the other hand has sought to neutralize European lunacy in regard to Russia.

The rapid progress with the Trump administration toward renormalizing relations with Russia and ending the Ukraine War occurs in an interesting historical paradigm that John Meirsheimer reviewed in a video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKjFD9fPQxg

Some have nominated former Assistant Sect. Of State Victoria Nuland for the designer of Joe Biden Ukraine policy yet I think that is an inadequate place to lay the blame. Bureaucrats may be a focal point or catch basin for social forces desiring policy directions yet they for-themselves couldn’t bring powerful disagreeing parties like the military industrial complex to support those or other policies they felt were counterproductive to profit although they might comply if required by the chief executive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Victoria_Nuland

Other have reported that the reason for the meeting in DC of President Macron and P.R. Starmer were to hand off supervisory custody of President Zelensky to the C.I.A. Apparently France was given custody by outgoing President Biden in order to prevent the Trump administration C.I.A. from gaining access to information that might be deleterious for the members of the Biden administration.

Canada as 51st - 60th States and Democrats as Fellow Travelers of Zelensky

 About the state of the union speech; those stay-sitting on their hands Democrats are sycophants of Zelensky and global war.

Another point; Canada should be the 51st through 60th states only if Canadians vote to and ask Congress to be a U.S. territory, then state, or rather states. Canada is good for a half dozen new states.

Does the Chinese Farming Transition to Home Responsibility Systems Provide Lessons on US Farm Subsidies?

 In going over a course on the history of the modern Chinese economy I encountered the Xiaogang phenomenon of family farmers organizing home responsibility systems for farming plots covertly in an era of full commune collective farming. The H.R.S. were so much more productive than collectives that the Deng leadership eventually transitioned the entire national farming system to H.R.S. One has to wonder how the Communist Chinese in the de-collectivizing era managed to eliminate farm subsidies yet the United States government hasn't.

There are of course innumerable areas in the modern era where government need be involved with economic management to prevent enormities from developing that harm millions. It may be necessary eventually to establish a basic income for all Americans in order to allow cherry picking of business ventures that are ecospherically  beneficially rather than deleterious. Such a level of careful examination of the effects of business ventures a priori would tend to leave people jobless periodically as a transition to sustainability was evolved. A.I displacement of jobs is another probable cause for large numbers of people losing income.

China's experience with gradual economic reform showed the difficulty of privatizing state owned enterprises until they have economic failure. Creating efficiency in government operations is important in democracies as communist societies evolving toward privatization even as they continue a policy of state social insurance for the well being of citizens.

Shouldn't there be a positive correlation between Federal spending, economic growth and reduction of public debt?

Farm subsidies apparently mostly go to large firms with concentrated wealth rather than small farmers.  This is what A.I. reported about farm subsidies;

"How are subsidies distributed?

The majority of subsidies go to the largest producers of corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton, and rice 

Most other agriculture, like fruits, vegetables, and tree nuts, receives minimal government support 

Some subsidies, like import tariffs, generate tax revenue for the government 

What are the criticisms of farm subsidies? 

They can harm the environment and public health

They can distort planting decisions

They can lead to overproduction

They can inflate land values

They can discourage farmers from innovating and cutting costs

They can steer resources to households with higher incomes."

So I wonder if there are lessons to be learned from the Chinese economic transition period from collective to private farming that may be applied in the United States to increase farm productivity. With the cost of food being so high even marginal decreases in cost would be useful to consumers.

Zelensky Finally Revealed He is an Enemy of the United States

 President Zelensky and his staff have revealed themselves as enemies of the United States. They feel entitled to U.S. military and economic support as if the U.S.A. were obligated to provide billions and billions of dollars to them. The weasels use every lever they can to coerce the administration into providing free military aid so they can have protracted war with Russia and take all of the land of Ukraine given by Bill Clinton after the breakup of the Soviet Union for themselves.

In Zelensky's bent logic the U.S.A. is somehow responsible for Russians killing Ukrainians if it doesn't send more weapons to extend the war. The United States doesn't need a relationship with an abusive lunatic. The U.S.A. should release any Russian assets it has frozen if the EU nations seize frozen Russian assets and give them to Zelensky for war and concealment in bitcoin.

I wonder if Zelensky was initially chosen by unknown elites in the same way that Hitler was chosen. Hitler was picked by the high command of the Wehrmacht because of his charismatic voice and appearance to co-opt the German Socialist Worker's party leadership. In all likelihood deposed German aristocrats were behind that. Zelensky may have been elevated for the same reason of being a comedian knowing how to sway crowds for those that like the modern punk-funk approach to politics and war. He seems like a perverse alien shill for recrudescent Axis power.

Some say Zelensky's trip to Qatar or Dubai was to arrange a place to store money. He could have bought billions in cryptocurrency already. Like Erich Honecker he may not have much safety after he leaves Ukraine. Hitler didn't suicide until the last hour before Russians arrived. At the end many dictators find a country without extradition to flee to.

Zelensky May Offer Comedian's Cease Fire Tomorrow

Starmer and Zelensky may announce a comedic cease fire for propaganda purposes tomorrow wherein Russia and Ukraine stop all air, sea and energy facility attacks for a month so Ukraine can have the opportunity to rebuild its military infrastructure for war that was devastated by Russia. Then the Axis powers will deploy tens of thousands of trooper-peacekeepers in Ukraine so they can spearhead attacks on Russian held areas when the cease fire ends.

Macron- an Axis partner, beat him to the punch...  https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/ckg1r4g08kwo

Put Zelensky and Starmer on the No Fly List

 British P.M. Starmer and Ukrainian President Zelensky are each harmful to U.S. interests and security and should not be allowed travel to the United States. The British P.M. is continuing the war in Ukraine thereby directly threatening the national security of the west. The United States should make an exemption for defense of Europe from nuclear attack in this case since there is plenty of time before nuclear war to register dissent.

Britain’s mindless fanaticism for war and eastward expansion is fueled by their lunatic puppet Zelensky’s rabid desire to have sovereignty over historically Russian land Ukraine. The Britain-Poland-French-German axis of evil to expand eastward militarily and ploy to negotiate a fake peace where Ukraine is armed with Axis weapons during a cease fire and Axis troops are deployed as ostensible peacekeepers on the line of combat contact in Ukraine perpetuates policy unacceptable to Russia and Russian security. The Axis powers count on the N.A.T.O. defense treaty to draw in the United States to defend the Axis countries if they get the hot conventional war going.

President Trump should renegotiate the N.A.T.O. treaty as he did N.A.F.T.A. in order to exclude lunatic policy selections from being acceptable grounds for American participation in mutual defense to be invoked. The Axis 2 lunatics are in effect weaponizing the N.A.T.O. treaty to exploit the U.S.A. as the blaster in the master-blaster Thunderdome paradigm.

America Should Partner with Russia on Donbas Minerals

I am not a pro-war partisan. I took several history courses on Russia in the 1980s and one of Russian governance in the 10s as part of my world history focus and understood the problem of the West’s irrational exuberance to plunder Russia en passant with the fall of the Soviet Union. Western leadership was ignorant (Bill Clinton) and expansionist (EU and NATO) and just kept doubling down on their initial carpet-bagging.

Intimidating and forcing Russia to know tow to a queer and subservient political economy overseen by a corrupt west that thought it could finance its deficit spending by extraction from Russia was and is a partisan Democrat play book. They used maximum force to try to accomplish that so far as possible. They are corrupt and stupid.

Democrats sought to negate the peace maker Donald Trump by incriminating and convicting him although he deserved a Nobel Prize that partisan expansionist Swedes would never give.

Trump’s felony conviction occurred in a heavily partisan political area with obvious conflicts of interest. The crime itself seemed to be not a crime; that is claiming payments made to suppress bad publicity as a campaign expense seems reasonable. Political campaigns pay a lot for positive advertising- paying not to have negative publicity is the flip side of the coin. Trump’s work presently is valuable for trying to end the Ukraine war.  European and Ukrainian security will be guaranteed with peace and renormailzed economic relations and development rather than continued adversarial relations. To draw down the knife fight both sides need put away the blades.

Peace between superpowers is based to a certain extent on trust. Like the value of the dollar based on nothing more than the faith and credit of the United States rather than gold or some other material, peace can only be as strong as trust and respect for other nations. One need put effort into building peace and renormalizing relations between Europe, Russia and the United States directly.

At the super-power level trust needs to be the deterrent to war. When each side can obliterate each other there is no value in engaging in battle at a conventional scale that easily can get beyond control resulting in the end of human civilization. Clemenceau wanted to guarantee the peace for ending World War One, and it wasn’t, and World War Two grew to fruition. That paradigm is however anachronistic. There is no Maginot Line that will prevent World War Three.

There are so many that argue in favor of continuing conflict. I don’t mind if they reap what they sew except they draw everyone else into the consequences of their failure of good sense. I wouldn’t equivocate categories of crimes- I think they are all quite different. Some laws on the books are unfair or enforced selectively; just laws are what matter. Giving student loans to some and none to others is a concern; laws should be applied equally rather than selectively and with bias.

The Democrat Party after the end of the Cold War bungled the peace. I regard the present situation as entirely the fault of Democrat leadership. Russia was quite willing to exist peacefully with the west; the west insisted on taking all of Ukraine including Crimea that was astoundingly provocative, and then expanded eastward. The formation of the EU swoll their ambition. Irrational exuberance made discounting negative consequences of expansion trivial. Russia was disrespected and found no remedies beside war. In my opinion the west created their own enemy- and even insisted on it and doubled down reminding me of the sci-fi  movie ‘Forbidden Planet’.

Reductionism of Materialism Yields Uncertainty

 A problem with materialism is that it tends to dissolve into uncertainty considered with physics reductionism. Dualism compounds the uncertainty. M/Q=U. Materialism divided by quanta equals uncertainty.

Reductionism of materialism yields uncertainty at the smallest and largest levels. It probably will always be so. Yet one can mold and fabricate with the given of physicalism from mud bricks to quantum computers and that, ultimately is what materialists love. Philosophically though materialism or physicalism is a reference parameter for words rather than a final destination. Without the Spirit in-dwelling a life resurrection unto life will not occur and the worldly mind that hates God does prevail, and that leads to death. A field tied locally in knots of clove hitches or strings rippling with uncertainty that may be the will of God; that will always be a delimiter of uncertainty running into Godel's limits. Yet the quest for learning is always admired. 

Zelensky and Euro Leaders Lack the Holy Spirit

President Zelensky’s abusive visit to the Oval Office demonstrated the problem that fleshy, worldly minds have in finding the Holy Spirit. They have minds for war and death seeking to obtain the wealth of the world continuing forward under the guidance of the devil to destroy others and eventually themselves. Europe’s leaders seek a way to continue the war with a belief they can exhaust Russia economically and militarily. Plainly the entire criterion of seeking to destroy the wealth of Russia may have an effect on destroying the wealth of Europe too.

Finding peace with God may be requisite for finding peace in the local, national and international sphere of friction and competition. Europe’s ambitious leaders believe war is a way to advance human interests and they are wrong. They should encourage a settlement with Russia directly in regard to Ukraine. President Trump has provided a reasonable approach.

Whispers of the Tides (a song)

Romans 8: 1-11 “There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death. For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For they that are after the flesh mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace: because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can it be: and they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But ye are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the spirit is life because of righteousness. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwelleth in you.”

(Romans 8:1-11 [ASV])
