Junior Won't be Left Holding Rove's Swag Bag


Carl Rove, the President’s Chief of Staff may have gone over the edge in the tradition of Haldeman and Erlichman to use crime for political purposes. Yek what did the President know, and when did he know it?

With the President’s party firmly in control of both houses of Congress the President need not worry about the appointment of a special prosecutor to discover if his Chief of Staff perpetrated a possible felony act to violate national security and divulge the identity of a C.I.A. operative married to Ambassador Wilson that said in an out of goose-step way an African nation wasn’t a source of uranium to the former dictator and irrepressible democidalist leader of Iraq Saddam Hussein. Instead the President, whom may be an accomplice to the felony violation of law that his Chief Rover is associated with perpetrating, can relax at least until after the general election in 2006.

The nation should be aware of the danger in electing a congress that is of the same party as the President; he basically cannot be impeached even if his Chief of Staff stole the family jewels of Mayor Daley and Senator Kennedion.

President Nixon had a far more challenging term of office that did the boomer version of Bush the Elder. Two lame boomer presidents in sequence leads this writer to wonder if the nation can survive a third without continuing moral, infrastructural, financial and security decay. What would John Edwards do if in the President’s shoes, play dumb and count on trans-national corporate advisers to hold sway over public opinion?

In this era when anyone can write on the internet and in effect be a journalist, it is dubious that trans-national corporate employees naming themselves ‘journalists’ should have an exemption from testimony in criminal investigations behind a rubric of ‘free speech’ or some similar dissimulation of constitutional intent. A special citizenship right to exemption from testifying before a grand jury should not be given to trans-national corporatists that can receive a ‘leak’ from any hypothetical treacherous source in government or organized crime. Anyone that rights a blog should have a similar right under the constitutional right to ‘free hearing’ as the trans-nationalists have with CNN, ABC, The AP and so forth.

Must one have a college degree to be qualified as a journalist or employed by a trans-national? Why should hard-working ordinary Americans be denied the right to award themselves the appellation of ‘journalist’. If anyone interested in becoming a journalist with recognition by an agency that I will create if enough people are interested, just buy a copy of each of my books at http://www.lulu.com/garycgibson and email me with your name and address and proof of purchase (offer void where prohibited; expiration August 1, 2005).

Don’t start expecting President Bush to start singing ‘Swing Low Sweet Chariot’ right away; it’s unlikely that Chief Rove will emerge from behind the cloak of separation of powers to frankly talk about his role if any in risking the career and life of the spook that was shot in the back by some treacherous rat in the administration possibly.

Seriously though Joseph Stalin probably was the first savage to use psychiatric labels for political control, and crimes by politicians have needed to assume a cloak of plausible deniability as media coverage increased at least until the media became corrupted itself. G.W. Bush hasn’t the intellect to originate Nixonian scale civil rights egresses, yet the Patriot Act be exploited by some administration officials to violate civil rights for political purposes; who can say? It’s hard to imagine President Bush as a James Cagney sort of guy, yet one would like the President to say it isn’t so with some credibility even so.

The U.S. Administration's Lazy Energy Policy

GaryCGibson - 01:10pm Jul 12, 2005 EDT By faith we understand that the worlds have been framed by the word of God, so that what is seen hath not been made out of things which appear."-Hebrews 11:3

The administration's lazy reliance on fossil fuels helped create the 26 billion dollar Saudi budget surplus last year. Though they planned for a balanced 2005 budget, with the windfall of $60+ per barrel oil they will probably have a larger budget surplus in 2005. The Saudi’s use part of that money to fund mosque construction in the U.S.A. The following article indicates that of the 1200 mosques built in the last 20 years 80% received Saudi funding. The vast new mosque in Los Angeles was given 18 million dollars for construction by a Saudi prince. That helps expand the realm of the dar al harb into America and established a ness or beachhead for Dar al Islam in the U.S.A.

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=27327

Every day Americans spend and send more than a 100 million dollars abroad to Saudi Arabia for oil producing and more to other oil producing nations and let America's budget deficit grow and grow with interest paid to foreign lenders. Meanwhile the transport infrastructure rots and relies on foreign fossil fuels, while the stupid suggestion of building more nuclear plants is floated by the administration in order to allow more melt-downs should a bio-disaster occur and thus allow the world to be radiologically vanquished for generations with unlimited DNA mutations and mass extinctions.


Actually the administration's research is a way of co-opting present alternative energy development. Research can go on forever, while the infrastructure rots.


The administration's good Communist atheist buddies that will support American atheism have bought UNOCOL to also profit from the administrations lazy reliance on fossil fuel transport and deficit spending. They know a good deal when they see one.

In the administration's silly energy bill, fossil fuel and nuclear are given the lion's share to assure national decay financially while supporting terrorist shareholders in Muslim oil producing nations that deem furtive payouts to al Qa'eda a good investment. I suppose that every dollar the administration throws away on defense against terrorism is a dollar not available for alternative energy development. If the administration would move away directly from fossil fuel as the primary method of U.S. transport funding available for terrorism would decrease too and reduce the need for pork payouts to favorite defense contractors.

The Assault on Liberalism by the Left and Right

A few words about the assault weapons and siege tactics warring upon American liberalism recently: The core of civil liberties that the founders fought and sacrificed to attain for themselves and posterity are known as classical liberal values. Those values include the right for individuals to own property known as private property, and the property of rights regarding social conduct to the end of safeguarding all citizens from tyranny and oppression by anyone or any organization of people foreign or domestic.

America did no originate as a conservative nation. It began as the most liberal nation in the world’s history with the maximum degree of individual civil liberty possible. In the Scylla and Cherybdis of socialism and neocorporatism savaging the sailors of Jason’s argonaught of liberty running right down the center course, the broadcast media and transnational corporations lay siege to exclude or expropriate the concept that the American democracy is afloat on a liberal vessel and turn the tide into a battle of leftists and socialist abetted by debaucherers against neo-moralist quasi-theocratic transnational ‘conservatives’ seeking to conserve the nation’s inheritance by selling the country out to the highest bidders abroad. The socialists and debaucherers that are happy to be awarded the title of ‘liberal’ given by the disingenuous turncoat trans-national neo-corporatist neo-cons; the people are willing to go along with the decay and probable death of American liberalism as if the constitutional principles of the founders were an onerous anachronism to be discarded to disdain as soon as possible.



If the nation’s trans-national talk media assault assisted by unconcerned sycophantic politicians continues to annihilate the meaning of classical civil liberalism instead of defending, clarifying and reinforcing it, the logical outcome of such a choice is an global path toward repression and dehumanization of individual civil liberties as neo-corporatism and socialism each devastating liberalism willingly push people into mass produced global forms without a fundamental individual basis for social political primacy.

4th of July, History and National Character


"Kerry saw very little action in Vietnam, and labored mightily to get sent stateside, probably on a Section 8 psych waiver (his records are sealed).

Back home Kerry's anti-war activities were financed by the Soviet KGB. At the very least, Kerry was a "useful idiot" of communism."

Well, on this last Talk of the Nation thread, I suppose I need something to write about, and as usual Mr. X has provided one of the best topics to write about

Senator Kerry's military record should be covered by the American Disabilities Act if he did have some sort of sopological disorder, yet he probably was sent stateside because of his well-known third Purple Heart award that is a qualifier for the big PX. On the 2nd of July it is better to honor the nation's veterans, rather than to dishonor Silver Star winners with dubious qualifications, self-indicted war-criminal alumni and several months up the river drawing Viet Cong AK 47 and mortar fire.

Actually Moshe Dayan's tour of Vietnam was more interesting. He observed a Korean Company that had been attacked by 3 battalions of N. Vietnamese Regulars, and noted that the U.S. launched 21,000 artillery shells in the field in front of the Korean positions to thwart the NVA assault...more than 250 dead were left on the battlefield.

Dayan seemed to believe that American tactics were to just discover where the VC were at, and then blast them with mass firepower including the B-52's. Moshe went along with an air mobile U.S. battalion operation to land in the area where VC were reportedly at, and observed that one role of the combat patrols was to serve as 'bait' to draw enemy fire whereat the superior firepower could be directed. Dayan thought that U.S. policy was to use an incredible amount of firepower to demoralize the enemy and produce casualties, while simultaneously bombing the North. Instead of a real military tactic to win, the U.S. plan was to accomplish a psychological victory over the communist forces.

Mr. Dayan observed the action as a 'journalist’ and within a few months was again leader of the Israeli Defense portfolio in battle against the Egyptian led combined forces of Jordan, Syria, Iraq and Egypt.

Today American policy in Iraq has set its own course, yet fortunately kept out of the overwhelming numbers of troops approach to victory; Israel always had fewer numbers than the opposition forces yet did o.k. And to stop terrorist infiltrators the army often sent out ambushes in the nights to stop probably infiltration routes from being safe.


I would not be the first to say that Americans are spoiled, prosperous, vicious, corrupt and etc. pertaining to people they deem it useful to victimize, so their is no point in adding anything to that. Yet it isn't the American character as a prosperous lot living on social inheritance that leads the nation into paths pioneered by the decadent Roman Empire and even Republic in giving up right reasoning on foreign policy. The insularity from decency and intelligent though follows the spoiling with comfort of the people and without special effort to overcome the inertial sloth of prosperity and power decline and fall is a usual course for civilizations to take.

When one has a vast comfortable middle class willing to exploit illegal alien labor, convinced with all the power of prosperity and greed, lust for power and worldly advantage that they should all be ahead of everyone else, and have a class right to victimize whoever it's useful to victimize, a lot of daft college graduates and people with class sinecures and double family earner high incomes naturally tend to desire to extend their class power universally following a blind course of will.

The nation of course has an expensive volunteer Army, yet Americans are obviously reluctant to serve in during war while upper class interests bully them about to get transnational wealth while running up a federal budget deficit. At the core of the Iraq issue Americans would be serving a valid moral cause to secure the peace for Iraq, yet President Bush must instead appeal to a motive for war such as protecting America from terrorism that has a ring of bogusness to it, because Americans when cognizant of foreign affairs have the crude, blunt mass firepower approach to it, and if the ignorant foreigners don't like our glorious peace and democracy, uf da!

These are somewhat bad years in the United States, and if poor, one can't just 'love it or leave it', pursuing one's enlightened self-interest abroad isn't cheap for some Americans these days, and Americans aren't so welcome in many areas if they require work I think.

The administration has a blunt fossil fuel hammer the electorate approach assuring prosperity for the neo-corporatist oil crowd, and assuring an obsolescent infrastructure for the nation. Neither party would utilize rational alternative health care for the poor as I'd written about earlier, nor do they seek to fundamentally liberate the people from reliance on corporate fuels for transport either, when solar power, wind power, battery technology, power lines in roads and fuel cell technology could easily lead in the direction of home-produced power.

No it is no wonder that people tend to resist the beef-fed egoists that can develop in a nation as prosperous as the United States. It is amazing that it has a grace of Go d quality dumb luck in surviving so long in reasonably good shape, and then good women like Justice O’Connor retire, heavens!

American domestic and foreign policy is set by some rather aloof and comfortable people that generally have never experienced protracted adult poverty nor social adversity to an extent needed to create a desire for improving the national infrastructure nor social opportunities with a purpose. Americans may be somewhat like the Indians that were drowned out by foreign interests, in that exfiltrating jobs and ownership and infiltrating illegal aliens coupled with z.p.g. for the prosperous American 'ladies' has made the middle class a sort of irrelevant group desiring more and more goodies with a vengeance.

U.S. security has numerous structural holes in it, and will dynamically continue to do so long as the nation exists with detached from efficiency leadership hidden behind the smokescreen of transnational corporate power.


Ronald Reagan did say that the nation's best times were ahead; that may have been true yet the worst times are ahead also, as any nation should use rational economic and social policy to renovate perennially against decline and fall, or exfiltration of self-determination.

The nation may be in a long slow drain of exfiltration of jobs and leadership under the trans-national stars. One day it may awaken to find that it is no longer an independent or meaningfully identifiable nation at all. Various corporate boards, neo-corporatists political designers, international socialists and megalomaniacs may help the process.

One should not me that most Americans are really wicked, it is simply that the major broadcast powers, cinched media and corporate personnel, and corrupt government bureaucrats and leaders fed with all of the world's best prosperity materially yet with little training in moral philosophy, independent political reasoning and so forth occlude the well-fed masses that just want to be bigger and meaner than you. The ladies expect the guys to be stupid and 'hunks', and they will do the brainwork and liaison for a sojourn in serial monogamy for a while to raise a spoiled, tragically brainwashed kid force fed on rem-reasoning and Satanism raised by child-care centers until public schools and packed off to Harvard theoretically, with half qualified for psychological labels.

The ladies are in to many cases under qualified for certain positions yet neo-corporate forces employ them well to subvert national independence. Again I do not blame women seeking to escape drudgery jobs with dirty hands for non-labor, easy chair, high paying jobs with trans-national corporate and undemanding yet Satanically indoctrinated state governments, its just that the concatenated effect of so many 'flies happy in a pile of manure' has deleterious long-range effects on better environmental use, energy and current accounts phenomena, and even of national viability.

Some nations like Israel had highly motivated people that recognized the right of their fellow citizens to earn a living, and did not obstruct them to favor foreign interests, nor ply them with incessant derision and sabotage social opportunities as do some of the trans-national corporate world graduated from college as middle classers lusting for power. Other nations failed to have enough motivation, Toynbee noted that easy living Greek regions developed the least of the ancient city-state areas.

If the United States is in its first trimester, a poisoning abortion seems to be in progress that may take 50 years to fulfill, and I don't believe I'm writing with the feeling that an American Indian might have had when the Euros and Africans arrived to replace them. I believe that using history as an excuse for political indifference is perhaps a very weak choice. If the nation is worth saving it is worth having some good leadership with real ideas of value to reversing the trend of national dissolution and invigorating instead a feeling of shared national liberty, independence and prosperity valued in second or third place to higher values of environmentalism, relation to God and fellow citizens and so forth.


Instead of exploiting women, minorities and any other people that feel oppressed for ends that result in the decline of national independence, it would be less disingenuous for fair politicians to employ those citizens in fields that lead to a reversal of a decaying infrastructure and exfiltration of economic independence. A nation can participate in free trade agreements, yet it needn't be stupid and rely on technicalities with blind trust that it's also a comprehensive weltanschauung of inevitable benefits.

Post 2003 Iraq War/Post 1967 Six Day War Chaos Comparison

It might be good comment upon the Minnesota legislature's decision to shut down the government for the 4th of July holiday over negotiations with the government employee labor unions, yet that must wait...

For comparative background information on the Iraq post-war anomie one might draw upon the experience of Israel following the 1967 six-day war. In the three years leading to Black September 1970 Abu Amar and George Habash and other terrorists led a renewal of terrorism upon Israel from bases in Jordan. In that three year period, according to Mosher Dayan’s biography (from which much of this paradigm is drawn) there were more than 5000 terrorist incidents upon Israeli’s, and nearly 150 deaths and 800 casualties.

Large terrorist bases grew for Palestinians in Jordan that eventually challenged the Government of Jordan to rule. Previously a King Abdullah had been assassinated, and attempts were made on the life of his grandson King Hussein.

Eventually in 1970 Jordanians moved to close down the Palestinian terrorist campuses, Syrian threatened to intervene and sent tanks and other military personnel to assist the terrorists, and Jordan requested U.S. support in a possible war against Syria; the U.S. agreed and fully activated the 82nd airborne regiment, and gave a dire warning to the Syrian Government. In time the Jordanian military routed the terrorist strongholds until they were for the time deleted from that nation. Israel knew a time of comparative peace.

Yassir Arafat (Abu Amar) had been on the West Bank in 1967 trying to organize a Palestinian terrorist revolt, yet nothing came of it immediately so he left. Terrorists following up on the swift American military victory in Iraq are perhaps still continuing along Abu Amar’s path of an intafadah of terrorism from trans-border locales. It is quite possible that Syria is again playing a key role in supporting migratory international terrorists upon a neighbor nation, and with the election of a former captor of American hostages in Iran, another avenue of terrorist support seems to have been opened to provide aid and comfort to suicide bombers carrying out policy that is costly to America’s rather traditionally inept foreign policy goals and methods.

The President's Speech on Iraq Policy Tonight






The speech of President Bush tonight to the nation regarding Iraq policy may or may not be based upon a concern for creating a peaceful democracy or assuring oil supplies to friendly oil corporation contributors; yet assuredly the people of Iraq would be happier with a peaceful democratic form of government that the U.S.A. is ostensibly or coincidentally trying to support.

The timing of the address seems inappropriate and is simultaneous with the highest oil prices in decades and more contracts for VP Cheney’s former company Halliburton to build more trans-national facilities abroad.

The nation is going along, more or less, with the Iraqi policy already, and the speech may be a dramatic effort to bolster the President’s falling popularity polls as well as his conduct of the nation building effort.

An unheard of aspect of the hostile suicide detonations in Iraq was the criteria of exactly why the bombers are blasting themselves; what is the primary motive?

It was reported that Saddam Hussein had created a terrorist resistance cadre before the Gulf War of 2003 and those individuals could be fulfilling their training, and comprise a substantive element of the volunteer human-bombs. Another element could be the training advantages and opportunity to hit American targets in Iraq that is denied to terrorists seeking to cross the U.S. border through the gauntlet of bureaucratic policies implemented since September 2001. A third and unheard of element could be the mercenary aspect of human bombs blasting themselves for pay in Iraq. It may be that with the vast new oil wealth flooding the middle east and OPEC countries because of the G.W. Bush policy of wringing the most possible out of U.S. consumers for the benefit of oil company profits, and of making the nation dependent upon oil for automotive fuel to the maximum extent sand time possible, that terrorist coffers are being flooded with contributions to purchase disposable human bomb services at a good price. It may also be possible that Al Qa’eda hackers obtained those Master Card numbers from Arizona and 40 million account numbers to add more deficit spending (on someone else’s tab) to finance the terrorist war, ironically mirroring in reverse the Bush administration policy of deficit spending to finance the war effort and trans-national oil company profits.

The problem with President Bush’s policy regarding Iraq is that his lack of creative spark in moving toward a positive sum strategy with a halt to reliance on oil and fossil fuels supports a swamp of terrorist manipulation of America through projects abroad that are easy to finance and costly for the U.S.A. to defend against. The President picked an uncharismatic California intellect for Secretary of State who was promoted for fealty toward trans-national corporate goals, and is completely unknown for expressing intelligent opinions about politics. Sect. Rice is the consummate corporate yes-woman, and that doesn’t help nationalist trends much.

When Moshe Dyan was negotiating a peace settlement with King Abdul following the Israeli war for independence, he encountered an individual that could not except terms expressed by a woman, and had to fight just to say no to that. Because President Bush has confidence that the U.S. public can pay the bill for Iraq with deficit spending, and social security and other vestments can be trimmed to pay for it, and the nation’s infrastructure allowed to rot and become a pork barrel for sales from trans-national corporations, he doesn’t need to care if the Secretary of State is undiplomatic, and unlikely to get negotiated settlements with those ‘chauvinist’ middle-easterners…in fact he is more concerned about the pr value of Secretary Rice as a black female for domestic political consumption, and perhaps for relations with Africa.

95% of the societies on Earth in 1990 were not monogamous it is worth considering. When American politicians decide to change foreign nations to coincide with U.S. social structures, it’s useful to get a clue about secondary consequences of such changes, such as the destruction of extended families abroad. Many people can be hurt by mass social chaos, and in some instances constructive engagement can produce slower changes that provide liberty for people so far as is economically possible.

The mercenary incentives paid for with easy oil money by the trillions may afford to purchase a few human bombs for decades to come, and the main point of military-counter measures should be to cut off the revenue stream to terrorist organizations, get an abbey’s aide for the ecclesiastical policies that are utilized to induce the Presidential policy to be one of protracted low-scale war entangled with any sort of religiosity with a capability of rectifying the policy to democracy and pragmatism (as the Christian goal could be more pacific).

Bush admin, Fossil Fueled Deficits and the Wealthiest Class

"For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God." I Corinthians 1:18

I am not certain why the 'Talk of the Nation' has stagnated with the patriot act thread, perhaps to reflect the stagnation of the national infrastructure that relies on fossil fuels that won't begin to drop in price perhaps until the year before the next election at a miserly pace of five cents a week, yet I'll make a general comment about economy and environment in order to stir up the crude logic of homo loquax somewhat...

The recent spate of tax cuts and favored tax breaks for the oil companies perhaps comprises the core of the G.W. Bush administration's political philosophy of enriching the rich compassionately. It is written that in the United States something like 65% to 85% of the wealthiest two percent of American women have received their wealth from inheritance, and that 50% of American men are in the same status. The tax cuts for oil wealth and inheritance together provide a double whammy of stagnation and ossification of the national infrastructure and economic prospects. it should be recollected that the founders of the nation had little burden of inherited wealth, and needed to work and start up new industry and business with inventiveness and ingenuity instead of continuing along the inertia of the way things are as has President G.W. Bush.

The dangers to national security presented by the past it's time dependence on foreign oil for fuels, and to suggest that new nuclear plants could be a good way to provide more electricity for the people of the United States are exemplary planks of the bad old way of ossified and non-adaptive inherited wealth and power corrupting society to protect and enhance it's own position. Yet in this time in the world the dangers to environment and politics presented by neo-corporatism and anachronistic industrial technologies that defeat the planetary environmental health is striking.

When unimaginably wealthy class capital structures develop socially positive change and continuing social adaptability becomes difficult. The propaganda power of corrupt wealth is difficult for poor democrats to deal with, and then many American democrats suffer from the goatish bloat of petite prosperity too with a chocolate éclair and big screen TV lifestyle.

The propaganda machine of the very rich may paint reformers with false colors, and limit political theory to black and white dialectical conflict between capitalism and Marxism; that is they refuse to recognize that a democracy may have solid tax rates to prevent the useless accumulation of wealth and class inheritance in order to keep the body politic healthy and vigorously competitive with a stress on civil rights and equal opportunity. Some of the inheritors of wealth have contempt for civil rights and equal opportunity that then poor and middle classes may need for a fair opportunity to field their inventions and business theories to start new capital acquisition threads. Perhaps President Bush is a good example of inherited political wealth that he is presently trying to spend without success.

As a Christian I am aware that some broadcast commercial Christians naively support politically special cliques of extreme inherited wealth that utilize socially corrupting powers to increase their wealth...the ironic side is of course that the Bible predicts that Christians will be blamed for social ills in time, and of course the identification of broadcast commercial Christians with the political platforms of the extremely rich in the U.S.A. line up for such a potential interpretation.

In some ways big government as a cluster of union mobsters (hyperbole) supporting a ruling class of inherited wealth stuffing its own stockings with fossil fuel funds (worm-ridden energy bill) could describe Iran or the United States, as NPR reported about Iran. NPR doesn't much report usefully about the corruption of the rich ruling class in the U.S.A., or of the broadcast media of course...

The energy bill in Congress seemed a referendum on the complacent, corrupting, backward looking, carpet-bagging character of the congress that disregards environmental health, seeks to develop more nuclear plants so world biology can be destroyed completely when they all melt down if some sort of plague or disaster occurs that eliminates plant operators and replacements, subverts changes in national infrastructure to a rational basis of mpg vehicular fuel conservation standards, alternate electric vehicles, a vast imaginot line of anti-fossil fuel wind generators along the Rocky Mountain States, development of super conductors, fuel cells, batteries, power lines in California Highways (if you build it they will come) etc.

A large part of the profligate American expenses on defense are caused indirectly through the reliance on fossil fuels and leadership of the emerging world economies into reliance on the dirty and stupid yet inherited wealth supporting fossil fuel industry internationally. President Bush and Prince Faud have more in common that President Bush and Nancy Pelosi, to such an extent that the picture of President Bush walking hand in hand with any democratic leader in Congress seems absurd. The fossil fuel brotherhood is the ad hoc nation the President defends presently, while the U.S.A. rots essentially.

I must point out that the Democratic Party’s incessant attacks on the Iraq policy just make them seem wrong and dangerously so, and of course places them as simpleton chumps for any Republican running against them on that platform anon. Democrats instead should focus on alternative energy infrastructure and socio-economic planning that is loud, clear and intelligent. Military spending can be cut where it's useful to do so, but the Iraqi government should receive long term help where it needs it; American concerns may be located in Iraq for some time, even to start a good solar power capability when or if the Muslims auto-bombers run out of gas.***

From the Textbook on Neo-Corporatism



Textbook on Neocorporatism

Gary C Gibson - 10:34am Jun 27, 2005 EDT A favorite government media maxim; "The first law of every creature is that of self-preservation, of staying alive. you sow hemlock and expect to see ripening ears of grain!"~Machiavelli

My textbook on neo-corporatism made the point that indirect curtailing of opportunities to dissent is a usual pattern. Unless NPR Discussions or another federalized discussions board exists to permit criticism of daft federal policies and corrupt broadcast media practices that assault individual civil rights, it will be more difficult to make public observations about federal policy that is harmful to national interests.

Because federal policy is trending toward inimical policies that harm national interests, the decision to allow the Bush administration three more years without public, federal record of dissent being written here(NPR DISCUSSIONS) is reasonable.

In the first half of the year 2005 the United States as a nation experienced many foreign and domestic political challenges while the nation's political leadership seemed to be not up to the task. Heck, it just appointed some lawyer that represented a vast horde of corporate polluters and that had created superfund sites such as WWR Grace which poisoned the people of Libby Montana, to head the enforcement division of the EPA. Pollute, bank, deny pollution, cut, hacvk spend federal dollars in corporate directions generally...

The people of the nation cannot be freed from responsibility though; they did elect to second terms a couple of Presidents that were alright one-termers, and will probably be complacent ahead electing people that will exfiltrate American economic independence and infiltrate foreign and trans-national economic and political power.***Fossil fueled federal deficits; consider several aspects of the failure of the nation's leaders and people to recognize and react successfully to intermediate and long-term economic infrastructural decay that has become an infusion of virtual self-destruction spending it's present to afford coach potato somnabulent television watching and SUV driving.***My blog at http://www.lulu.com/garycgibson

and homepage at http://www.garycgibson.us

should have continuing blog posts for some time. Alternate forums are good at blogspot.com and the progressive http://www.Opednews.com also provides a venue for commenting on government corruption and policy mismanagement.

Socialists and neo-corporatists have surrendered the middle ground of liberalism, and forgotten what liberal political philosophy is; it is the faith of the founders in individual civil rights subject only unto the direct will of God.

With the demise of liberalism the excluded middle leaves the extremes of right and left each claiming aspects of liberal values like vultures dining on the corpse of the United States fighting over a juicy piece of intestine.

The Dollar Value and the EU 2004-2005

Individual genius is bought by transnationals, subverted by sinecured boards; from politics it withdraws as water 'neath oily hoards.

"The reasons that the USD is falling (high deficits + nope hope of change + relatively low interest rates) are still valid. The EURO is falling because of the problems with the constitution."

"Will the twin US deficits be solved quickly? "

To answer that last sentence...you must be joking. Bankers and some government authorities spend as much as they can of other people's money for profits through loan interest payments and kick-back corporatism; the ad hoc ruling class in the U.S.A. is self serving and both parties coopted, with the democratic one occassionally silly in it's politcal analysis.

http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/G5/current/

An 'ideal' or optimal currency valuation between various global economic regions may be useful insofar as it represents stability rather than stagnation, yet an equilibrium in monetary value tends to represent real goods, capital and cash reserves as well as future productivity expectations and thus the entire global economic status would be factors that would make the bilateral valuation of currency you suggested phenomenal instead of necessary.

The U.S.A. has several domestic problems, yet the solution politically for those can be found in local or national political determinism only insofar as trans-national neo-corporatists allow any local political determination to exist.

The federal government's comparison of the value of the dollar to various world currencies shows that it has risen against some, fallen against others in the last year. Perhaps the value of those yuan that aren't free floating affects other currencies such as that of Brazil...which compete in the same productivity export markets to some extent.

Europe's problems are more complex than that of failing to submit to a centralized, cold authority that would subvert local political sovereignty and render them ruled by aloof trans-national neo-corporatists seeking to line their pockets in a disposable world economy while the locals get slim pickings and political platitudes.

Multiverses and the Anthropic Principle



String theory, superstring theory and other quantum cosmology theories are all available for investigation and of interest to many. The elements of the anthropic principle naturally follow from a consideration of the nature of the cosmos and it's constants in light of super-string and M-Theory.

Discussing those ideas, and that of the multiverse theory can be done well by most interested readers, and should be done without polemics, and within and orderly and sensitive way.

The anthropic principle of course does occur in a universe suitable for life, yet it is a valid cosmophysical point that could be used to describe a specific set of parameters in any possible universe that would be able to support certain forms of life.

The anthropic principle in science, so far as I know, can be used to refer to that physical constant requisites paradigm, and might be used in a logic of necessity, or modal logic, to sort through either an infinite number of real or potential universes for those able to support life, or to classify those universes fit for the support of intelligent life.

The A.P. is thus somewhat less than intelligent design. The creation of universes fit for intelligent life, and the fact of their existence. If more than this one exists, or even if just this one universe exists, would confirm the anthropic principle de facto, yet not entail the necessity of intelligent design. Yet the existence of a Universe fit for life does entail the possibility that it was designed or that it was not.

With various cosmologists theorizing about the construction of Universe's as a natural outgrowth from theoretical cosmology, it is a simple transition into the awareness that beings of superior science could already have created universes fit for intelligent life, and to use Tegmark's premise, snowballed a plethora of universes into being that are fit for intelligent life thus creating a sort of natural selection of universes created by intelligent design. If that process did begin, and if the super-string parameters of multiple universes is valid with its finite set, universes created by intelligent design may come to predominate numerically over dumb universes.
