Packing Infinite Dimensions Theologically
A bird’s lifeless feathers arranged neatly upon a sidewalk
an apparitious being departed for the winter
forever like a moment of time
a soul is upon an island universe
Higher orders of dimensions packed haphazardly
seem ordered best within a chaotic jumble
twenty, thirty or fifty dimensions
wrapped into a theophany
best ordered by God
Time is the slowest, lowest dimension
thick like molasses to flow in the way of entropy
from the given initial orderun
to disorder.
-Gary G.
Reading through the Oct. 14th issue of science news an article on page 244 'Messiness Rules' suggested this poem attempting to comment upon how an infinite number of dimensions God can create would ultimately be ordered in a different than easy spatial arrangement.
Evidently energy, perhaps since the initial higgs field, was undifferentiated without regard to matter or anti-matter, and when the Higgs field of infinitely small size (absurb nominalism) became imbalanced it expanded at superluminal speed repulsed from itself.A Hubble Space Telescope Institute photo
In the current issue of Astronomy there is a good brief article on the surplus of matter over anti-matter that 'allowed' the universe to exist. Most of the material of the Universe is 'matter'. A CP imbalance or symmetry imbalance allowed a 1 in a billion particles surplus of mass or outnumber anti-mass or anti-matter after the formation of the universe and probably after the hyper-inflaton or superlight speed expansion stopped and 'normal' big bang inflation continued.
Anti-matter and matter are just the same, except that they have opposite tracks and spin characteristics. Perhaps for matter to be a whole, and of one nature, when it becomes divided it must split into equal yet opposite parts... I believe we discussed briefly the subject of how pluralism originates from monism.
The primal infinitesimal Higgs field may still exist interestingly enough and contain the entire universe and its general physical characteristics. I haven't any idea what happened to all the matter and anti-matter that existed early on...when it contacts it annihilates one another producing gamma rays...and I don't know what sort of 'particles' those are made of.
The article speculated that neutrinos and anti-neutrinos may be part of bound pairs that annihilate or rejoin undestrucively and in some way that could account for the CP disconformity, yet that may be true however not account for the surplus of matter over anti-matter.
It would seem philosophically that if there originally was a unified monistic field or energy then it would need to expand and annihilate some of its mass if there would to be a pluralist character in which human life upon planets within solar systems with stars and galaxies might exist eventually.
Gamma rays are quite deadly to bio-life I believe, and there formation isn't too common, nor is anti-matter, although the astronomy article had and anti-matter 'jet' toward the black hole at the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. What has this to do with extra-dimensional packing that mathematicians have been researching in the abstract one might ask...perhaps nothing for my knowledge, and something for others, yet at least it's interesting to consider.
In a finite set packing objects of definite size and shape characteristics related to a particular field probably would be done in a finite number of ways, while in a circumstance where the field characteristics increase to the infinite the number of ways of arranging or altering the arrangements also increases. The number of dimensions of a universe might describe implicitly the number of ways characteristics of various 'physical' particles and fields within it could exist in a stable state. Fortunately stable and transitional states for particles and waves of the universe change yet in relation to the pervasive field characteristics governing or describing there phenomenal characteristics.This universe exists with a hypothetical finite number of dimensions and particles within a pervasive and hypothetical field with a time direction based on the conservation of energy and laws of entropy with particles and configurations of waves and particles subject to uncertainty, subjective contingence and always to the Christian and Jews perhaps subject to the metaphysical will of God. The infinite characteristics of packing and selection deontologically reduced from some sort of monistic contingent origin is interesting.

Senator Grassley's Grass Roots in the Sky
Isaiah 14:24 'The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand:'
Senator Grassley was whining on some television news blah this morning about taxes and Congressman Wrangell-D New York. Because I was working only the gist was available...Senator Grassley is worried that Charley Wrangell, Korean land war veteran could become chairman of the ways and means committee!
--photo by N.A.S.A.
When the Republicans of the Senate and House are on a spending spree of six years running the notion that a Democrat might wrest the ways and means mint away must send shivers of terror down their rubbery spending and fiscal responsibility 'spines'.
It was the concept that people earning more than 200,000 dollars a year should pay taxes, or at least the unfairness of it that seemed to get Grassley’s goat. When the nation is on a spending spree the rich should be paying higher not lower taxes.
It has been pointed out by serious economists that deficit spending is a tax on the future. That is the poor of the present have any federal benefits and spending that might have been allocated to them presently and in the future taken away while wages rot, and the rich today get more federal spending to support their economic infrastructure now and in the future without substantive taxes. It seems that the rich should pay the highest taxes because they get the most out of the nation financially.
Several problems of course exist when a non-creative repressive class of rich oppresses the majority of the people yet have a broadcast media to propagandize and divert democratic political remedies.
So I will point out why capitalism isn't a substitute for democracy nor should be. Market forces cannot replace rational management in environmental issues for example. Not only is the time paradigm out of skew in oil exploration, development and sales, it is blind to future environmental impact scientists could predict presently.
Oil drilling in Louisiana has caused the ground to sink with the removal of liquids. In Alaska the same phenomena could occur one day when the permafrost melts because of global warming, and the coastal plain might drop below sea level and take the mushy beswamped tundra with it, along with pipelines with millions of broken welds and sundry equipment corrupted by bad planning engineering environmentally.
It is hard to believe the cold war was strategized for the west by market forces, unless it was corporatist ownership seeking a post-war dictatorship perhaps. I can't believe that consumers desires for better coffee or faster cars in some way was a market forces indicating the creation of marv'd nuclear warheads or a 500 ship navy.
While I supported the end of communist aggression against free enterprise, I also support the end of corporatist aggression upon democracy. Corporatism tends to corrupt market forces, and market forces are blind to social needs in a democracy. It is possible that some business people believe that democracy is about market forces itself, and giving the 'consumer-voters' shelved candidates of an acceptable character is best. That may produce a mediocre cup of coffee or even an Edsel but not a fiery political reformer willing to tackle the issues of an oppressive social class bleeding the nation's security in order to enrich itself as supreamists earning more in a year than many poor would in a thousand lifetimes.
I had a really good example of the fallacy that market forces can replace adequately democratic government, yet I can't recollect what it was presently...maybe later. For now I will write that the rich seem to be taking their profits and reinvesting them globally while running up a federal deficit to leave the poor holding the bag.
The course of importing cheap foreign workers to provide cheap labor to accompany cheap wal-mart goods mollifies many Americans not displaced by that trend with low-cost stuff. All the easy living non-creative 'managers' want high incomes and expensive environmentally displacing homes with real wages that don't increase much. Big homes, big TV. and big cars with foreign fuel...all it takes is a vast federal debt, pollution and millions of illegal aliens. There is no free lunch for any nation, and when the Grassley’s and other leaders let the nation's infrastructure rot while building up foreign nations the nation's advantage slippage increases, while China builds oil wells or exploratory drilling in the Florida Strait.
Senator Grassley and his kind representing the grass roots of penthouse gardens don't realize that some other way needs to be developed to work for a more perfect society politically while letting free enterprisers have their way in their own sector apart from the public sector.
If democracy is to survive and exist anywhere it needs to be made of peers socially and incomes not invested in the United States should be taxed at a somewhat higher rate. Some corporations are vast global organizations seeking to exploit anyone they can anywhere for profit in some instances. Democracies need to be as wary of that as of any other sort of authoritarian government. With corporatist propaganda rule of the broadcast media democrats seeking to have any sort of local government will be called communist or whatever label the corporatists believe might best sucker 'the masses'.
What if General Eisenhower had done the Second World War by 'market forces'? Operation Market Garden might have at least returned French bread or pastries! Government challenge and response, or cause and effect, action and reaction as well as planning generally cannot be in response to market forces but should coincide with the valid needs of society. Market forces, as a way for a democracy to operate a government is far worse than 'voodoo economics'.
The United States needs to have no federal deficit or debt rolled over from year to year, it needs to have a no net loss of biota or species policy, halt illegal immigration and invest in new technologies that will eliminate trade deficit producing areas...a trade surplus through better products instead of through sanctions.
Corrupt federal politicians out of touch with common sense and over beholden to global corporate inertia may not realize that some people don't earn 200,000 dollars in a lifetime, much less in one year. I personally believe that very few people deserve higher earnings beyond 10 or 20 times that of the lowest earners in the U.S.A. Sure their are some people of brilliant merit inventively, but do they even get patents any more, or doesn't everything trickle up to the corrupt?
Excess earnings should go into rebuilding the nation environmentally, socially and in areas of transportation, education, energy and security.

Idea, spirit and the Second Law
My comment about the second law and entropy in the Universe along with a reference to the physical alterity to the universe befalling Adam and Eve (after there choice to chose sin or imperfection) noted the paradigm concurrence of a high state of initial order to disorder.
I would not stipulate that the universe has time ‘boundaries’, as physicists say that the direction of time is an arbitrary fact of statistical association of the flow of mass perhaps more so than a thing for itself. Time is an interesting subject, and some pysicists have speculated that it may be a dimension for-itself of space in some unusual relation to the standard three.Finding the monist pluralist transformation in a reference to big bang density avoids the philosophical question. Brian Greene in one of his popular books wrote that the initial Universe may have weighed 20 pounds before a Higgs Field expanded as a hyper-inflaton because of quantum uncertainty in the Higgs Field that gave it a superluminal repulsive power, yet how can one be sure of that?
The monist/pluralist transformation from a Higgs Field or even a membrane or zero-brane field collision is still a philosophical question apart from speculative or tentative explanations based upon physical theoretical cosmology or cosmic quantum mechanical origin theory.One must be careful in assigned the creation of weight or numbers to any point about the singularity or other creative moment. Weight may be more of a relative than of an absolute term, in fact many aspects of mass are probably in such a relativistic status of being. Within whatever field a particle, wave or mass phenomenality happens to inhere, it’s ability to move through time or space relative to its position is variable in accord to it’s own physical nature and that of that of the field or fields as well as the mass/motion of the fields in which it coheres.
As a Christian I believe that spirit for human purposes is something of a value given by God to sentient beings of a certain nature. Spirit or soul differes from any purely mechanistic or causal relation, though it resides in it, as the human body exists within several force fields and dimensions simultaneously.Concepts occur to human beings, and you know that there is a perennial philosophical debate amidst mathematicians regarding if math concepts exist in reality or just within the ‘reality’ of the human mind or as an idea. Platonic realist and the idea of concepts and forms existing for-themselves is a perennial philosophical question of course. The question about what relation human concepts have to physical determinism and causality is another interesting field of though; and obviously one may place that inquiry into several metastructural protocols.

Demonic Armies of the False Prophet
It is well known that the Romans stopped their northern advance when Julius Caesar had crossed the Rhine, and encountered a very tall woman that told him to go no farther.
http://www.roman-empire.net/army/army.html
http://www.athenapub.com/caesar1.htm
It is somewhat more interesting that Charles Martel stopped the Umayyad forces just 125 miles from Paris several hundred years later.
The umma is what the subdued planet would be if it were all brought under Muhammedist rule.
Muhammad was an interesting fellow, son of the keeper of the black stone and etc. Some have said that his elder wife told him what his experiences were after he recovered from epileptic seizures, yet I think the story that he merely became possessed perhaps by an Arab branch of Satanic forces and spliced together Bible stories from things Jews and Christians in town had told him before beheading them as if it were new revelations instead of a bad attempt at plagiarizing the Bible.
I was surprised to discover how far Muhammad had gone in corrupting the truth of the Bible, and of the Bible stories and so forth. Muhammad believed Jesus wasn't crucified, but instead had a last second substitute take his place. Muhammad depersonalized Yahweh or Jehovah of the Bible, who is well known essentially, and instead made of God a completely remote unknowable abstraction that only Muhammad himself might dimly perceive something about.
Muhammad has so corrupted the Bible, and concepts of Christianity and Judaism that his unfortunate believers are conditioned a priori to believe certain things that are entirely untruthful about Judaism and Christianity. Muhammad’s bible scholarship was so absolutely false and incompetent that it basically requires illiterates or underdeveloped peoples to believe the syncretistic hodge podge of Muhammad’s autobiographical delusions.
Muhammad actual was Satanic, and was the false prophet setting up some of the world, it is speculated for Armageddon. The etiology of Muhammad is quite understandable; the Roman Empire of the west had fallen, some Goths had made predacious swoops along North Africa, the Byzantine Empire was decadent and repressive-its version of Christianity bureaucratic and stale without much living spirituality and freedom, and Muhammad was in Mecca sight of 365 gods with his father--keeper of the Ka'aba lying recently dead. Muhammad’s military bent unifying the entire world so far as possible under his name and authority as a false prophet distilling Judaism and Christianity as he had imbibed it into a sour mash of falsehood to run roughshod over the world was brilliant. Muhammad’s destruction of the truth about God and incompetent bungling of the nature of the One that has appeared scripturally as Three was a useful simplification enabling a purely legalist-political religion to be proselytized at the point of a sword.
Muhammad had no substantive awareness of sin or the context of sin, and obviously had no belief in salvation, and disbelieved that Jesus is God. It is astounding that Muhammad; the first successful Judeo-Christian cult-heresy of large scale has drawn so many into submission to a futile worldliness and penultimate damnation...astounding! It may be a consequence of decadent Roman rulers and their heritage (such as Caligula/Justinian and Theodora) that so many were willing to enlist in the armies of the demonic false prophet.

A Fourth Wave Surpassing the Third
http://www.aliraqi.org/forums/index.php
Reading over the Toffler's 1994 book on the 3rd wave, which they posited as an information era wave it is interesting to see how the Internet has in a sense surpassed their expectations. Newt Gingrich wrote an intro to the book, just before becoming speaker of the House (Rep. Hastert should quit his post before his district does a Tom Foley on him and Nancy Pelosi demotes him to a minority status). Mr. Gingrich's enthusiasm for the information age also seems to match the socialist Toffler's somewhat panicky ideas about what all the information means.
The Toffler's and Mr. Gingrich neither seemed to regard corporatism and real politics as problems for the United States, just the information 'revolution' itself required vast alterity to government, and AL Gore was said to have stuck his toe in the third wave waters already.
Perhaps instead of being star struck by all the data available, and how it change's society, a better approach would have been to find a way to keep meaningful social values from American and Biblical history alive within the general assault upon western liberalism.
With so much Internet data available individuals are freer to communicate globally, and certainly corporations can fast shuffle their financial cards around a bit faster than local constituencies can adapt to the economic meanings of the changes. If globalists can produce in the cheapest available nations and ditch anyone taxing more than 13% even getting compliance on anti-pollution laws from corporations may be more difficult to the detriment of the planetary eco-health.
Just because the internet exists it doesn't mean that citizens will read more books on political philosophy, watch less wrestling, pornography or home improvement, and develop better political ideas. In fact homosexual and special pervert interest groups may find organization easier, while cable satellite TV can offer more salacious programming like 'perverted fun 2'. The Toffler's desire for a third wave of government reform to accompany information (following agriculture and the industrial revolution) is already being surpassed by a bigger yet smaller wave of nano-technology.
The philosophy of the founders is a part of a perennial philosophy that like Solomon's observation that there isn't anything new under the sun reflects the basic questions of human existence. Human beings have basic needs including political liberty. The challenges are to find ways to defend the government from continual encroachments of corruption such as the broadcast media presents as a primary anti-democratic forced levering social and political equality (citizens should use the wavelengths for one-way internet downloads) and to keep the people free from corrupt global and local organizations of repression and exploitation.
Religion for instance was a revolution for-itself in providing transcendent, non-tribal social groupings. It is far easier to have a non-authoritarian social organization in a religious form than it is a government in more basic societies such as occurred in the Middle East and Islam. In pre-internet societies without a territorial evolution of democracy authoritarian governments are the simplest to expand over many peoples, while religion may be a more egalitarian force.
Christianity is the ultimate egalitarian social organization humanity is likely to have-with individualism yet a unity through Jesus Christ, while Muhammedism was a half-effort militarily and religiously syncretistic offering a double barreled imperial rule in the Caliphates and Clerics. The imams or group leaders were far less oppressive than Ottoman herders of people.
The United States should find a way to renormalize politicians corrupted by globalism to pursuit of an American development in environmentalism and technology policy with secure borders in a high-density information era.

How President Bush Promotes U.S. Moral Decay
Writing about the state of morality in a nation such as the United States and how it reciprocally affects and is affected by political leadership is a challenging task. One may have a point of view as controversial as M3 above, or be a more stalwart conservative such as Jerry Falwell emeritus of the moral majority. The moral situation in the United States is presently precarious.
And the questions about the state of morality run into various walls of reasoning that put pre-defined sets and limits to social understanding of what moral issues are. Globalism seems to be at the center of the decline of moral values in the United States, along with technological and population alterity, while medical advances also contribute to the erosion of American moral integrity.
One may apply quantitative and qualitative yardsticks to moral issues in the micro and macro-social realms. Too much drinking of libations or too little permitted, too much sex outside marriage or not enough, definitions of marriage to corrupt its meaning to include any bilateral relationship involving sex and a contract, too much social violence or not enough...etc. In the United States however, and for western civilization the long haul of liberalism was to create a sense of moral accountability and conscience in the individual who would guide himself freely through life running afoul of moral norm enforcements by the state with it's power of condign punishments only when socially legalized standards are violated. Due process of law and open legal proceedings of a transparent nature would deliberate upon the guilt or innocence of an offender arrested and arraigned by legal enforcers.
The Bush administration has chosen to selectively enforce the law, and not to enforce more than 800 laws, which implicitly corrupts the social contract or constitutional form of law that civil society has selected through tradition and history to apply unto itself. Globalism and the broadcast media have assaulted the basis of American moral values as individuals accountable individually to laws, and as self-regulating independent agents guiding themselves through the vicissitudes of life.
The Bush administration sought and got a promulgation of legislation to allow covert arrest, detention and even execution of American citizens without habeas corpus and other protections. The inclusion of U.S. citizens as enemy combatants was unnecessary and dangerous as they are already covered by legal provisions for sedition, treason and other high crimes. The administrations prefers gross international covert measures in response to a foreign political movement in essence that endangers the security of all U.S. citizens from the terrorist encroachments of the state, which has been the greatest foe and the heart of opposition to liberalism through the ages. From the deepest oppressive pits of tyranny in imperial Rome to the dungeons of the czars liberal has sought to free mankind from the chains of tyranny. The Bush administration seeks to move toward the repressive authoritarianism of the Caliphs it seems in bringing torture to the menu of American politics.
While the administration has moved toward the authoritarian right in the vacuum of intellect about how to address the Muslim movements of the world with positive motivations to change toward a better rapprochement with western civilization, it isn't that which is most corrupting of U.S. moral values...instead it is the loss of individualism as the primary social fact toward groups and classes instead.
Ajami/Khalil in'The Republic of Fear' provided excellent sociological analysis of the mutivarious social formations of Iraq from the 1920's onward. Individualism simply hasn't been the basic social moral formation, nor has it been in many other regions of the globe the United States has been doing more business with in recent decades. Americans are becoming assimilated more toward global moral group values rather than the reverse with globalists becoming assimilated to moral values founded upon individualism and equal protection of the law.
Iraqi's under Saddam Husain had a constitution that hadn't much meaning. Constitutions can be altered to be whatever the ruling class wants them to be in essence. Saddam Husain became the state authority in-himself, for-himself and for-others through terror.
These radical restructuring of moral foundations that can occur to various nations may develop insidiously through invasive, pervasive broadcast media programming of the national populous or it may be quite radical through purging, secret arrests, secret mock trials and so forth as occurred in the Bathist Iraq with the Mukhabarat secret police. The Bush administration has drifted into such a globalist swamp that is reinforcing the group moral accountability values inimical to U.S. values since the foundation of the nation.
A remedy for the broadcast media corrupting of American morality would be to reallocate the wavelength resources to U.S. citizen Internet homepages. Perhaps 300 million homepages and 300 million business pages associated with each citizen would be broadcast and available for low-tech download to cheap led vcd like am-fm receivers.
Americans once formed their own groups and political associations without pervasive broadcast group-thinks saturating them. Tribal groupings and even religious groupings did not serve as the highest moral authority in the United States. Since the 1920s and 30's broadcasts have encroached and essentially conquered as the primary moral agents of change followed by medical innovation utilitarianism in mass production from birth control pills to abortions to morning after abortion pills permitted recently by the Bush administration.
The administration has sold itself out to globalism and globalist values morally predicated upon corporatism and sundry forms of group associations. Group associations as the basis for moral and legal conduct pre-empt and eliminate individual moral responsibility with group values being those that are of the highest value. The reason that is absolutely inimical to the well being of the United States is based in the western tradition of the individual as a free moral agent and inventor par excellence able to follow a golden rule with a direct personal relationship to God through Jesus Christ higher than any corrupting secular political value that might seek to eliminate various groups or individuals with equal legal rights.
The U.S. Government should of course permit global business procedures to continue, however it must take a 180 degree turn for-itself to encourage and support legal and social procedures that protect and advance U.S. national and individual interests instead of tossing them into the global stew pot of corporatist power. While national standards in reading and learning have declined, while the borders are porous to illegal aliens, while the China cost has cut profit potential in U.S. industry more than 30%, the administration is spending billions and billions perhaps less than most effectively in Iraq letting its economy wallow in agony and failing to invest enough in Kurdish education and alternate energy production. It has let the U.S. infrastructure remain dependent upon fossil fuels creating federal deficits with the military spending abroad financed by foreign lenders instead of being paid for in cash from current accounts.... The administration's style of globalist moral corrupt subverting individual rights and responsibilities is as lethal as the traditional forms of moral decay usually decried by various Republicans near election time. The tragedy of Rep Foley from Florida indicates that some aspects of the moral criterion are yet powerful, yet was his quick resignation a result of high individual moral standards or because of group moral values near election time? The difference might seem unimportant, yet group and class moral values supplanting individual moral values set by globalists find partnership with a sort of dulling, insipid national laziness economically acquiescing in a 'well, the unemployment rate is just 4.5% so everything must be perfect' political blindness.
The Bush administration doesn't seem to comprehend the sociological backgrounds of the people of Iraq and Communist China well enough, nor that of other middle eastern peoples either sufficiently to get a better positive or constructive engagement with them in an other than the traditional methods of imperialist or remote control politics unpopular with the locals. Even the United States seems to be in training under globalists to be group-thinking sycophants of some hypothetical global agenda 'out-there' that may be more existent in some places in Europe, feminist planning boutiques and who knows where in the U.S.A.
Khalil noted in 'The Republic of Fear' that the British installed parliament of Iraq was perceived as being an intermediate tool of control, and that after the British left it sort of poofed away...will the present Iraq Parliament fare any better?
The Patriot Act is a nice marketable phrase that know is modified to allow the administration to violate the 4th amendment seemingly at will, and the future dictator will appreciate the tools the Bush administration has innovated if he or she should appear one day either in response to globalism in opposition or support. A review here of the necessity of the Patriot Act is beyond the scope of the question of how the Bush administration has accelerated the moral decay or transformation of the United States.
Moral continuity that is issue-based in American politics need be implemented in the popular realm with the adverse agent of socialization of the global broadcast media being the tribe of 800 pound guerillas home-breaking and taking over the streets of the nation ever-present. Issue-based moral debate politically are for-themselves toward the group-think and group identity side of things rather than developing within individual, private, personal consideration. Advanced intelligence tends to develop individually, personally. The strength of the United States and of western civilization so long as it continues to exist should be in strong individual rights materially permitting privacy and invention to occur.
With Sam Walton long gone the Wal-Mart 'made in America' feature is now a 'made in China' feature. The administration may find Al Qa'eda an overwhelming opponent that takes all of its time to hunt and bay at (is the end of Bin Ladin near?), the nation however can't stand still as moral and economic infrastructure decay proceeds.
President Bush just got congress to spend 70 billion for fear of Al Qa'eda, right M1? Obviously he hasn't got the sense of Winston Churchill who was a cavalry officer in his day, who led the last charge of the British Empire kicking butt and taking names historically in fact and symbolically with the defeat of the axis powers.
'The Republic of Fear' (Iraq), if you have read the book, was an understandably fearful place. The Ba'th party created a deep and pervasive terror in the people as a way of doing politics and reordering society with the goal of creating an Arab nation.
President Bush uses the fear lever as his primary political crutch, and symbolically if not in actuality embodies Ajami's observation that tyrants use violence (9-11) when their authority is slipping (the 200 election result and Democratic intafadah)
I suppose you haven't read the Gulag Archipelago either. Repressive and pervasive state authority is a serious danger. Living in such a state would be quite an evil experience.
A nation such as the United States need not fear perhaps, but rational concern with dangers and threat analysis is incumbent upon any reasonable society. The challenges the United States has before it aren't being met very well by President Bush, whom is shirking his duties for the thrill of the hunt to tree Bin Ladin.
The United States needs to conserve its individual moral tradition/foundations in the new age through a variety of means such as the termination of broadcast ownership and use of the broadcast wavelengths. Politically in the middle east it needs to insure that its words and objects match rightly, that is like an architect or auto-mechanic politicians must ensure that their theories correspond to the actual state of affairs, and aren't the equivalent of political solipsism.
The next President should swiftly move to support U.S. infrastructure product innovations, inventions and developments that liberate the nation from trade deficits by creating better, cheaper local replacements for autos and oil. Driving down the highway one can see Toyota, Honda, Mercedes, Volvo Diesel and so on with the occasional ford or g.m.; even Chrysler and Jeep are Germany autos.
If a nation wants to survive and prosper it needs to have a national will to do so. Winston Churchill wasn't an idiot that believed that Britain existentially had no concerns and should act as if it didn't. He was addressing the specific issue of war with the Reich. The British since the war have taken numerous steps to assure the prosperity and health of their national and international standing. If the United States doesn't elect leaders that also seek to develop an infrastructure that leads in the world and that creates national prosperity, environmental health and that has a strong individual moral condition, it may continue decay. While a nation may not fear failure, it may fail nevertheless. Vince Lombardy said, I believe, that winning is everything. Winning with a moral and intellectual health and justice might be a sort of political equivalent. Winning might be defined as right thinking and living with a sort of Socratic or Christian paradigm of the morally good I would think.
It is necessary to 'put intention on it' and not just have a sort of Doris Day c'est le vie' nothing to fear sort of stoicism in the realm of contemporary global politics. Obviously a polity must get beyond fear, but that isn't the end of the journey, it is only the beginning.
And the questions about the state of morality run into various walls of reasoning that put pre-defined sets and limits to social understanding of what moral issues are. Globalism seems to be at the center of the decline of moral values in the United States, along with technological and population alterity, while medical advances also contribute to the erosion of American moral integrity.
One may apply quantitative and qualitative yardsticks to moral issues in the micro and macro-social realms. Too much drinking of libations or too little permitted, too much sex outside marriage or not enough, definitions of marriage to corrupt its meaning to include any bilateral relationship involving sex and a contract, too much social violence or not enough...etc. In the United States however, and for western civilization the long haul of liberalism was to create a sense of moral accountability and conscience in the individual who would guide himself freely through life running afoul of moral norm enforcements by the state with it's power of condign punishments only when socially legalized standards are violated. Due process of law and open legal proceedings of a transparent nature would deliberate upon the guilt or innocence of an offender arrested and arraigned by legal enforcers.
The Bush administration has chosen to selectively enforce the law, and not to enforce more than 800 laws, which implicitly corrupts the social contract or constitutional form of law that civil society has selected through tradition and history to apply unto itself. Globalism and the broadcast media have assaulted the basis of American moral values as individuals accountable individually to laws, and as self-regulating independent agents guiding themselves through the vicissitudes of life.
The Bush administration sought and got a promulgation of legislation to allow covert arrest, detention and even execution of American citizens without habeas corpus and other protections. The inclusion of U.S. citizens as enemy combatants was unnecessary and dangerous as they are already covered by legal provisions for sedition, treason and other high crimes. The administrations prefers gross international covert measures in response to a foreign political movement in essence that endangers the security of all U.S. citizens from the terrorist encroachments of the state, which has been the greatest foe and the heart of opposition to liberalism through the ages. From the deepest oppressive pits of tyranny in imperial Rome to the dungeons of the czars liberal has sought to free mankind from the chains of tyranny. The Bush administration seeks to move toward the repressive authoritarianism of the Caliphs it seems in bringing torture to the menu of American politics.
While the administration has moved toward the authoritarian right in the vacuum of intellect about how to address the Muslim movements of the world with positive motivations to change toward a better rapprochement with western civilization, it isn't that which is most corrupting of U.S. moral values...instead it is the loss of individualism as the primary social fact toward groups and classes instead.
Ajami/Khalil in'The Republic of Fear' provided excellent sociological analysis of the mutivarious social formations of Iraq from the 1920's onward. Individualism simply hasn't been the basic social moral formation, nor has it been in many other regions of the globe the United States has been doing more business with in recent decades. Americans are becoming assimilated more toward global moral group values rather than the reverse with globalists becoming assimilated to moral values founded upon individualism and equal protection of the law.
Iraqi's under Saddam Husain had a constitution that hadn't much meaning. Constitutions can be altered to be whatever the ruling class wants them to be in essence. Saddam Husain became the state authority in-himself, for-himself and for-others through terror.
These radical restructuring of moral foundations that can occur to various nations may develop insidiously through invasive, pervasive broadcast media programming of the national populous or it may be quite radical through purging, secret arrests, secret mock trials and so forth as occurred in the Bathist Iraq with the Mukhabarat secret police. The Bush administration has drifted into such a globalist swamp that is reinforcing the group moral accountability values inimical to U.S. values since the foundation of the nation.
A remedy for the broadcast media corrupting of American morality would be to reallocate the wavelength resources to U.S. citizen Internet homepages. Perhaps 300 million homepages and 300 million business pages associated with each citizen would be broadcast and available for low-tech download to cheap led vcd like am-fm receivers.
Americans once formed their own groups and political associations without pervasive broadcast group-thinks saturating them. Tribal groupings and even religious groupings did not serve as the highest moral authority in the United States. Since the 1920s and 30's broadcasts have encroached and essentially conquered as the primary moral agents of change followed by medical innovation utilitarianism in mass production from birth control pills to abortions to morning after abortion pills permitted recently by the Bush administration.
The administration has sold itself out to globalism and globalist values morally predicated upon corporatism and sundry forms of group associations. Group associations as the basis for moral and legal conduct pre-empt and eliminate individual moral responsibility with group values being those that are of the highest value. The reason that is absolutely inimical to the well being of the United States is based in the western tradition of the individual as a free moral agent and inventor par excellence able to follow a golden rule with a direct personal relationship to God through Jesus Christ higher than any corrupting secular political value that might seek to eliminate various groups or individuals with equal legal rights.
The U.S. Government should of course permit global business procedures to continue, however it must take a 180 degree turn for-itself to encourage and support legal and social procedures that protect and advance U.S. national and individual interests instead of tossing them into the global stew pot of corporatist power. While national standards in reading and learning have declined, while the borders are porous to illegal aliens, while the China cost has cut profit potential in U.S. industry more than 30%, the administration is spending billions and billions perhaps less than most effectively in Iraq letting its economy wallow in agony and failing to invest enough in Kurdish education and alternate energy production. It has let the U.S. infrastructure remain dependent upon fossil fuels creating federal deficits with the military spending abroad financed by foreign lenders instead of being paid for in cash from current accounts.... The administration's style of globalist moral corrupt subverting individual rights and responsibilities is as lethal as the traditional forms of moral decay usually decried by various Republicans near election time. The tragedy of Rep Foley from Florida indicates that some aspects of the moral criterion are yet powerful, yet was his quick resignation a result of high individual moral standards or because of group moral values near election time? The difference might seem unimportant, yet group and class moral values supplanting individual moral values set by globalists find partnership with a sort of dulling, insipid national laziness economically acquiescing in a 'well, the unemployment rate is just 4.5% so everything must be perfect' political blindness.
The Bush administration doesn't seem to comprehend the sociological backgrounds of the people of Iraq and Communist China well enough, nor that of other middle eastern peoples either sufficiently to get a better positive or constructive engagement with them in an other than the traditional methods of imperialist or remote control politics unpopular with the locals. Even the United States seems to be in training under globalists to be group-thinking sycophants of some hypothetical global agenda 'out-there' that may be more existent in some places in Europe, feminist planning boutiques and who knows where in the U.S.A.

Reagan Vs. Bush on Terrorism
It has been pointed out by many that terrorism today is not unlike terrorism in prior generations, the faces and names have changed (except for many repeat Muslim names such as Muhammad perhaps) however the goals remain the same. Terrorism in the 1970's and 1980's waved over Europe from Yassir Arafat’s organization and other Middle Eastern groups with restaurant and aircraft bombings, machine gunning’s in airports and assassination attempts and successes be not uncommon. The primary difference for American's today is that due to a lapse in the Bush administration's defense preparedness they allowed Al Qaeda to destroy and objective and a half in the United States.
President Bush spoke on Labor Day about how the holiday is for people that work, yet he and right wing radio have in a sense redefined the day to a lecture on how to annihilate liberalism and labor unions. It is a day for management and ownership to berate the lower class all for the good of globalism. The President however doesn't neglect to mention that American security is in jeopardy still-and he isn't referring to outsourcing of jobs to China or to the flood of illegal migrant works from Mexico.
Anarchists have been credited with starting the first world war with the assassination in Sarajevo of a Hapsburg archduke and producing casualties far in proportion to their actual successful assassinations in Europe (2000 with millions killed in the war). The writer of a current Atlantic article on American response to terrorism felt that political reaction to terrorism can be worse to the reactionary than to the perpetrator economically. President Bush's response has jeopardized the financial security of the nation is has been argued.
Ronald Reagan perhaps created more confidence in the nation's population as he adroitly reacted to terrorist acts abroad, and of course he had a good Defense Sect. able to adapt with intelligence to change's and opfor capabilities as they developed. The administration’s present pr and implementation activities promote the nation building in Iraq to perennial war, and seems to rely on a goal of forever stopping terrorist attacks upon an indebted yet militarily powerful nation before he leaves office, which is preposterous as most right-thinking people are aware. Terrorism can be contained, defended against and perhaps reduced to a minimal level yet never entirely stopped without putting everyone, everywhere in chains. The administration is evidently on the road to retirement leaving Os Bin Ladin free to plan and dream of further destruction in the United States.
I haven't confidence in either party's ability to rescue America from the slide in globalist takeover, nor reliance on oil for automobile power thought stop short of thinking of them as Death-o-crats and Doomicans much. I believe however that the Democrats did rather well in prior American wars they administrated, and can do well with security too if not much subverted by globalist sympathies. What is lost during the Bush administration's nearly paranoid dependence on terror to rescue it from a requirement of political competence in other areas such as economics and environment is the need the nation has to go to home-powered electric cars, create a total immigration number of no more than 400,000 a year from all sources legal and illegal (immigrant labor has corrupted the rationale for NAFTA by exporting jobs and importing cheap labor simultaneously gutting wage and standard of living prospects for many Americans).
The administration should declare victory in the war on terrorism and move on to its shoddy record on the environment, real wage decrease, total two-term job performance, record on education, increasing federal debt and so forth. President Reagan could handle terrorism and economics at the same time and even have some luck with international diplomacy.
Some Democrats are awaiting Bill Sherpa to accompany Hillary to the Summit of the Oval Office to win one for the zipper. I am not certain that even Hillary could not do a lamer job as President than President Bush has. There are those however that feel that the nation has experienced 18 years in a row of globalism in the White House without leadership in transport and energy independence not only from the world but from corporations as well. That could have been done with federal stress on wind, solar and fuel cell power for electric cars, and power lines for direct energy tapping in selected roadways. I hadn't intended to overly criticize the administration's record, yet can see I barely skimmed the surface, and hope to get on to writing philosophical topics anyway soon.

A Priesthood of Believer's Structure
A 2nd reformation would be useful
A priesthood of believers could be evolved from existing church structures to make a more egalitarian and Biblically correct for of Christian organization better able to evangelize and express the will of God so far as I understand the new testament.
The old testament has a temple worship form something similar to other priestly hierarchies of other faiths...paradoxically Muslims have an immam that isn't actually a priest but is instead just a group leader of merit.
A priesthood of believers is described somewhat in the book of Heberews by the apostle Paul, and of course Jesus said that Christians would be as servants rather than as those placing themselves first.
Of course regular Christian priesthoods have served to bring the message of the gospel over the millenia, however in this populist era all should be more equal and serve equal roles as servants able to serve other Christians first and then others as is useful or consistent with Biblical doctrine.
Here is a brief organizational structure example...
Christians in a church would be organized in groups of 12. Maybe a useful Church would have 12 groups of 12. Each worship day one elder would have a 15 minute time to talk or sermonize, a few hymns could be sung, and everyone else in the group could have five minutes to talk or not. Alternate weeks would have a new elder selected to sermonize.
Perhaps it would be better to have half of the 11 non-sermonizers talk for 10 minutes each instead of for 5 minutes. Each would be expected to shae some learning from the Bible and perhaps to discuss individual work assignments.
Tithing could continue yet no-one would be paid. The money would be invested in insurance for group associates and physical maint. Each member would have their own outside job, yet each group would so far as possible provide fairly free services to other members when and how useful.
In the priesthood of believers all would be trained to be front-line working Christians trained to speak in small groups, evangelize outside when possible, and be a Christian educator. The only position women would not take, in order to be consistent with the Bible, would be that of the 15 minute sermon leader, who would also lead the responsive group reading. Since he doesn't get paid, and the position changes no one should care, and the members should have plenty of other meaningful work to do.
New Christians could be brought int a new member group, or shifted into groups without 12 people and so forth. This is just an idea that I believe would help to establish more Christians in presently non-Christian areas, that would bring more Christians out of backseat roles and into the forefront of actual Biblically directed Christian living and so forth.

Oil Budget Deficits and War
Israel's victory in South Lebanon leaves President Bush without much to do in the way of crisis. While he claims America is more safe than ever British intelligence has unraveled a dire plot to destroy trans-Atlantic aircraft, the OPEC nations run annual budget surplus on oil sales and the United States runs a huge federal deficit...the President's idea of safety must refer to Exxon oil profits and those of Halliburton too.
President Bush’s journey to a Harley Davidson plant in Pennsylvania today highlights the problem of outsourcing jobs today…will he be searching for motorbike models that could be made as ¼ price copies in China as Mao-Hogs with that true Harley sound?

http://www.enotes.com/study-history/ Toynbee's 'A Study of History' ...summarized
President Bush and the administration are following an oil based foreign policy with several substantive flaws, several of which qualify as methods by which previous civilizations were brought down. Some of these points are Toynbean.
1) Vast federal deficit
2) Entry upon a universal phase of civilization. Usually that is the final phase before collapse. One can consider that of Rome and other civilizations ion that regard.
3) Over spending on foreign military ventures that do not produce very profitable results.
4) Outsourcing of jobs and industrial production to foreign nations
5) Insourcing vast numbers of an external proletariat (illegal aliens) from a non originating population source (founder) region. In the United States with a blending culture ethic security in this critical area could be acheived by limiting immigrants to perhaps a half million annually and all through legal means in order that they might become actually assimilated.
6) Transferring vast wealth (a major redistribution of wealth) to an arrested civilization that was subdued only at great social cost, at a time in which that Mohammedan civilization has terrorist aspirants desirous if asserting itself to supremacy or primacy. Fossil fuel oil of course is the counter productive commodity of national self-destruction in this instance.
7) Termination of a creative majority status in the world and transition into a repressive minority.
8-Failure to continue infrastructure renewal and alterity to creative and productive global leading profitable technologies and social infrastructure...the nation essentially is corrupted by.. 9) Global corporatist investors reallocating wealth without any real sense of patriotism or national destiny. This leads to the question if there ever was a civilization or nation in which wealth did not become repressive politically and destructive of the survival of the nation in time because of its desire for comfort, security and unwillingness to invest in decontrolling socially positive change? Of course I must add the onerous point that I support democracy and not socialism or corporatism as a political mode of self-governance.
11:50am Aug 14, 2006 EDT 'Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves'-Willliam Pitt
U.S. Middle East policy will probably remain hostage to a volatile destabilizing hostage status to globalist oil policies and related scenarios until a zero-cost consumer energy production policy is encouraged and supported by the federal government in the United States. At least 25% of the nation's auto drivers should have the ability to convert solar and wind power into electric power for electric vehicles without corporate grafting.
Withdrawal of U.S. forces from the Middle East is effectively unrealistic for the next 20 years if America relies upon fossil fuels from the Saudi Gold belt of Middle East nations and that of the Shia of Iran. To withdraw before a stable and friendly Iraq emerges would expose all the aforesaid oil producing nations to oil production destruction by terrorists, and of course the United States is absolutely daft about oil consumption.
If the United States did not rely upon oil for transportation, and if consumers were independent from global corporatists able to produce their own energy as easily as cowboys once found fuel for their horses without involving global corporations, it could withdraw military forces, let civil wars and terrorist missions in the region ensue as the Shia and Sunni battle for control of mideast oil. The winner would probably be some sort of conservative theocracy of one sort or another, or perhaps two each interested in gouges the automobile transported of Los Angeles so far as possible. The broadcast media would become purchased by the wealthy oil theocrats that would reprogram American consumers.

Americans need to break their oil addiction. Companies like Saudi Aramco were formed to nationalize the oilfields and redistribute entitlement to oil fields. Because the Saudis are monarchic their national oil business is a private oil business in effect; it’s a private family business that trickles down contracts to-others.
Oil is the opiate of the Republican masses.
Once working on a towboat in the Gulf of Mexico tied up to an oil barge that uploads/downloads fuel to large vessels there was a pelagic cormorant stumbling around intoxicated by the fumes. It was perhaps as dumb to the need for change as many Americans are today.
Reliance upon oil for a primary energy source is the short way to sell out national independence. Americans simply are miscognizant of the right relation of democracy to capitalism, of that they have a right to require the federal government to support policies that would support individual energy liberation.

It is an interesting application point of a larger general philosophical and physics principle that there are an infinite number of dynamic variables in existence ontologically once one makes the reduction from monism to pluralism.
Ontologically a physical system has a set of dynamic principles that is less than the infinite sum of variables beyond or 'outside the particular system. In energy use for the United States regarding political policy selections for what to support and what to field the criterion or set of possibilities is infinite yet finite within the particular range of political 'realities' that politicians choose to support.
The Bush administration is entirely dependent upon oil for its social group coherence prosperity regardless of the extreme damage it does to the well being of the nation and millions of Americans. A more 'liberated' administration with a coherent energy policy able to anticipate systems opposition by oil addicts in congress might be able to change the nation to electric vehicle platform technology with an energy grid of hydrogen pipelines and superconducting lines within, electric home power production and interties and so on within a one term as President...yet it would require a certain degree of political genius such as the Clinton administration and Bush administrations lacked.
The physics of the universe may be said to have an infinite number of variables at the pre-boundary T=0 context of pure potential that became reduced as ontology actualized as an expanding energy/physical universe replete with time+. While their may be a finite number of actual variables given the limited mass of the universe as well as it's limited number of potential configurations because of constraints of physical laws during this 'incarnation', I think it fair to recognize that the umber is nearly infinite because of its large size, and that any physical systems has a reduced and more approximately number of finite variables within the set context of its identity as a system.
Uncertainty is a perpetual element of any finite system. Its operational finitude is contingent being within the more infinite universal context.

P.M. Ohmert is a seeker of peace in the Mideast, although war was thrust upon him. Hezbowlers are the biggest terrorist organization on Earth, one which the Bush administration and the U.N. are perhaps negotiating with presently, drawing little respect I would think from the Iranians for so doing. One should consider the difficulty of the Israeli position in the Lebanon conflict
1) Israeli seeks to no term territorial gain in Lebanon, and instead seeks simply a return to peace and security.
2) Hebowling terror attacks on Israel would likely continue even if an ineffective political third party military force is temporarily inserted. Hezbolling could cause enough 3rd party casualties to create call for withdrawal, and few competent military forces seek to occupy the area today I should imagine.
3) Hezbwollers are a guerrilla/terrorist force supplied by a wealthy patron nation (Iran). In that regard P.M. Ohmert is in a situation something like that of L.B.J. in dealing with a communist insurgency supplied by the Soviet Union, or American forces in Baghdad dealing with surreptitious terrorist insurgents rather than a conventional military power.
4) P.M. Ohmert should reasonably seek or hope to have the United States destroy Iran's nuclear potential and perhaps cause 60 billion dollars worth of economic collateral damage in order to discourage Iranian support for Hezbowling, yet the Bush administration although perhaps happy enough to gouge Americans about oil, and to deplete the national emergency reserve and refill it with 200 dollar per barrel oil, isn't willing to risk a war with an oil producing nation now that would perhaps double the price of oil and cause a renewal of inflation with a drop in the value of the dollar abroad.
5) P.M. Ohmert is surrounding by a political ocean of potential enemies in Arab countries hyper-funded by the increased price of oil. Terrorism in Iraq and elsewhere in the Middle East has the effect of increasing the price of oil per barrel and the profit for the terrorist supporters in those adverse nations. Israel has the blessing of no oil so it has the necessity of find alternative energy and intellectual investments that increase its long-term return. Routing out the hezbowl missiles for more than a short time will be difficult for the p.m.

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/03/24/eveningnews/main608520.shtml "Ten years ago, a jury ordered Exxon to pay what now amounts to $6.5 billion for damage to the fishing industry. While many fishermen have gone bankrupt, the case remains tied up in appeals and Exxon hasn't paid a penny."
http://www.mallenbaker.net/csr/CSRfiles/crisis03.html "The consequences for Exxon of its two-pronged disaster - the spill and its environmental consequences, alongside its disastrous communications - were enormous. The spill cost around $7bn, including the clean up costs. $5bn of this was made up of the largest punitive fines ever handed out to a company for corporate irresponsibility'.

Obviously the cost of producing oil in the Middle East remains very low cost and oil companies gouge as shortage arises potential for the market. Cheap labor is abundant in the Middle East as exploitable aliens may be insourced from abroad if needed. Labor costs are perhaps a fractional part of the profits for OPEC producers.
The Saudi oil royals are not exactly so powerless as that today. America is the nation with the federal deficit, the Saudis one with a vast annual surplus.
The United States with good leadership would seek to support national interests while letting prtivate business take care of its global business. A variety of improving high-speed zero personal energy cost national transport mechanisms could technically if not politically be innovated to allow autos to return to other products of the 1910's and a920's creation to mostly foreign use.
http://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/energy/2005-08-23-windfall-usat_x.htm
At today’s prices Middle East oil income is about 300 billion a year, and over 2005 and 2006 combined perhaps 300-400 billion will be spent outside the Middle East. Like the Japanese boom of the 70's and 80's into U.S. real estate and such America today may be ripe for more OPEC Muslim purchases. Hugo Chavez is experiencing more revenues, and Castro, the USA article reports and others generally against U.S. policies are receiving more donations or funding.
The oil phenomena may be flanking many aspects of U.S. foreign and domestic policy deleteriously, and the quicker an alternate energy base (electric home power/grid intertie for autos) takes power the quicker may America change its long term course. American's should save their wastage on foreign cars and fuels and invest in their own small businesses. If they have a good idea and borrow the money from an international lender to start up, full disclosure of proprietary data might be necessary first, and the concept would be plundered for the globalists at any rate.

If you are a globalist and corporatist then it isn't gouging...if you are an American nationalist seeking the betterment of the U.S.A. oil gouging is gouging and its as simple as that . Perhaps you don't remember the tea tax that set off the revolution, in which Americans had to pay a tax to Britain for fine Indian tea. Some untaxed tea could be smuggled in to the nation from odd foreign locales, yet Americans could not produce their own domestic tea supply.
Supply and demand and pricing are of course fairly simply macro-economic functions, yet responses to particular circumstances are traditional too. If the cost is too high then consumers need to find an alternate supply or alternate energy in this case of foreign oil instead of being mesmerized idiots hooked by foreign oil pushers like Chinese of the 19th century in opium dens. I believe that you make the contemporary error regarding alternative energy and the high cost of oil that is common in assuming that consumer and nationalist reactions to commodities pricing and supply phenomena is somehow required to be unthinkingly allegiant to supplier points of view.
Some in this era of mass corporate owned broadcast have been trained to believe that democracy and U.S. national interests are communist or leftist as well as opposed to global corporate interests, and of course nothing could be farther from the truth. Americans are so illiterate about the rights and responsibilities of a democracy that they are afraid or too ignorant to elect an administration tat would pursue the interests of the people instead of global corporations. Oil has several harmful effects on the U.S. economy that are well known...
1) trade deficit
2) personal savings destruction
3) air pollution/health consequences
4) funding of foreign terror organizations
5) misdirection of domestic investment abroad Price s of course a real problem in many domestic respect, and the oil/petrol spending goes to global corporations that hegemonize other aspects of the domestic economic and political structure and encourages the reduction of national political liberty democratically speaking. It all reinforces illegal alien substitution and wage downsizing of the domestic civilian workforce. The government can let oil find its own price level of course, but invest in and support real alternative energy power developments as I've written about quite often. The federal government should encourage home power independence from any corporate structure, and electric cars work best for that.
President Bush’s journey to a Harley Davidson plant in Pennsylvania today highlights the problem of outsourcing jobs today…will he be searching for motorbike models that could be made as ¼ price copies in China as Mao-Hogs with that true Harley sound?

http://www.enotes.com/study-history/ Toynbee's 'A Study of History' ...summarized
President Bush and the administration are following an oil based foreign policy with several substantive flaws, several of which qualify as methods by which previous civilizations were brought down. Some of these points are Toynbean.
1) Vast federal deficit
2) Entry upon a universal phase of civilization. Usually that is the final phase before collapse. One can consider that of Rome and other civilizations ion that regard.
3) Over spending on foreign military ventures that do not produce very profitable results.
4) Outsourcing of jobs and industrial production to foreign nations
5) Insourcing vast numbers of an external proletariat (illegal aliens) from a non originating population source (founder) region. In the United States with a blending culture ethic security in this critical area could be acheived by limiting immigrants to perhaps a half million annually and all through legal means in order that they might become actually assimilated.
6) Transferring vast wealth (a major redistribution of wealth) to an arrested civilization that was subdued only at great social cost, at a time in which that Mohammedan civilization has terrorist aspirants desirous if asserting itself to supremacy or primacy. Fossil fuel oil of course is the counter productive commodity of national self-destruction in this instance.
7) Termination of a creative majority status in the world and transition into a repressive minority.
8-Failure to continue infrastructure renewal and alterity to creative and productive global leading profitable technologies and social infrastructure...the nation essentially is corrupted by.. 9) Global corporatist investors reallocating wealth without any real sense of patriotism or national destiny. This leads to the question if there ever was a civilization or nation in which wealth did not become repressive politically and destructive of the survival of the nation in time because of its desire for comfort, security and unwillingness to invest in decontrolling socially positive change? Of course I must add the onerous point that I support democracy and not socialism or corporatism as a political mode of self-governance.

U.S. Middle East policy will probably remain hostage to a volatile destabilizing hostage status to globalist oil policies and related scenarios until a zero-cost consumer energy production policy is encouraged and supported by the federal government in the United States. At least 25% of the nation's auto drivers should have the ability to convert solar and wind power into electric power for electric vehicles without corporate grafting.
Withdrawal of U.S. forces from the Middle East is effectively unrealistic for the next 20 years if America relies upon fossil fuels from the Saudi Gold belt of Middle East nations and that of the Shia of Iran. To withdraw before a stable and friendly Iraq emerges would expose all the aforesaid oil producing nations to oil production destruction by terrorists, and of course the United States is absolutely daft about oil consumption.
If the United States did not rely upon oil for transportation, and if consumers were independent from global corporatists able to produce their own energy as easily as cowboys once found fuel for their horses without involving global corporations, it could withdraw military forces, let civil wars and terrorist missions in the region ensue as the Shia and Sunni battle for control of mideast oil. The winner would probably be some sort of conservative theocracy of one sort or another, or perhaps two each interested in gouges the automobile transported of Los Angeles so far as possible. The broadcast media would become purchased by the wealthy oil theocrats that would reprogram American consumers.

Americans need to break their oil addiction. Companies like Saudi Aramco were formed to nationalize the oilfields and redistribute entitlement to oil fields. Because the Saudis are monarchic their national oil business is a private oil business in effect; it’s a private family business that trickles down contracts to-others.
Oil is the opiate of the Republican masses.
Once working on a towboat in the Gulf of Mexico tied up to an oil barge that uploads/downloads fuel to large vessels there was a pelagic cormorant stumbling around intoxicated by the fumes. It was perhaps as dumb to the need for change as many Americans are today.
Reliance upon oil for a primary energy source is the short way to sell out national independence. Americans simply are miscognizant of the right relation of democracy to capitalism, of that they have a right to require the federal government to support policies that would support individual energy liberation.

British Arrests Transport of Liquids in BP North Slope Pipeline and HeathrowAir Travel
British MI-5 Halts Transport of Pterrorist Liquids a Couple Days after BP Closes North Slope Pipeline Flow
British authorities have busted a possible Al Qa’eda plot to place explosive liquids in innocent appearing packages such as baby’s formulae by passengers aboard trans-Atlantic airliners to halt air travel Anglo-American air travel. The season of globalist explosive liquids has accompanied revelations by Mel Gibson and Robin Williams of alcohol abuse and inflammatory statements in some cases requiring treatment. The Globalist broadcast media-a staunch foe of democracy with extremist brainwashing opportunities is simultaneously assaulting those in submission to God as ‘O’fascists’. Muhammed-o’fascists is a better term than Islam-O’fascists which is a leftist concept of atheists of the Leninist stripe peppering the public with pro-atheist propaganda.
The U.S. Department of Globalist Security was presented with difficult decisions in response to the liquids crisis---would it be better to risk a slight chance of mid-air jet detonations than to leave the hair regrowth formulae at home or face the embarrassment of buying the stuff in a London apothecary? A Senior Analyst at the Oil-For-Money institute said that prices may rise temporarily yet drop this fall when demand decreases.
Iranian advisers have been found as casualties on the battlefield in Lebanon recently, highlighting Iran support for the world’s largest and best armed terrorist organization Hezbollah. The Hezzies received more than 180 million dollars and rocket systems from the Iranian Government this last fiscal year making Iran a partner in terrorism. Lebanon is unfortunately an accomplice in providing safe harbor for the terrorists. The Bush administration is leaving significant problems for the next administration to face with Iran likely developing nuclear weapons and longer range rockets before January 20th 2009.
The Democratic Party is for-itself keeping the wrong arguments in mind about Middle Eastern problem and U.S. Security and is being chastised routinely by GOP Polemic Rave Radio. The Democratic Party in some quarters seems to believe that unilateral withdrawal would not have meaningful consequences to the Middle East or the United States, and seem to have a pre-1990 point of view on Iraqi policy.
If the United States withdrew from Iraq precipitously it would lose credibility of course with all parties living in the region as an untrustworthy partner and probably a bloodbath civil war would follow. Iran would be the unchallenged Shiite terrorist nation in the region of course, yet the Sunni would receive military support from Saudi Arabia and Al Qa’eda would assume a larger posture as defender of the faith of Muhammad so far as it perpetrated terrorism upon the Shia. The United State’s interests would become increasingly irrelevant to the oil profit bloated OPEC nations while the political Captain Quigs of the U.S.A. would receive tantalizing globalist bits about how fuel cell cars are on the way as soon as global corporations form a monopoly on production and individual home-fuel production from solar panels for quickly rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles is safely obscured.
Some Democrats believe that working for a balanced budget and elimination of the federal deficit while flooding the U.S.A. with illegal aliens is possible in a new 8 years of a Democratic administration, yet just another Bush could knock over the savings and return the U.S.A. to deficit spending and militarism in defense against terrorism. A Democratic administration will need to deal with a nuclear armed Iran and its legions of terrorists with rockets in Lebanon and perhaps millions of terrorist in Iraq struggling for supremacy and to drive up world oil prices. President Bush of course will not send the 7th air fleet of stealth fighters and cruise missiles to wipe out Iranian nuclear production, a Senior Analyst at the No-Junior Analysts Institute said, because the price of oil would rise to 100 dollars a barrel almost immediately, and that would have the effect of driving Republicans from office this November with Tom Delay’s name still on the ballot in Sugarland.
President Bush in Deep Pockets of Oil Companies
For a few years I sought to persuade Alaskans to support alternate fuels, and to support conveyance of North Slope oil production to Alaskans rather than to Brits and BP. After the Exxon Valdez spill for which the litigation is still unsettled 17 years later, it became obvious that many looked upon Alaska as little more than a resource colony. Americans have traded their freedom for comfort and safety (foreign car and foreign fuels for trade deficits and globalist political empowerment), and Ben Franklin of course provided the solution to that equation stare decisis.A political coefficient of adversity determines the price of oil today in the United States that Americans are paying more than three dollars a gallon for (raise and gouge until the next administration or whoever seriously supports alternate energy development that lets Americans make their own energy individually for electric cars).
The high oil prices fund foreign pterrorist organizations, yet Americans are entirely unintelligent at switching to native, independent non-centralized and no-globalist or corporatist fuel sources for their autos. They’re put into a sleeper headlock by the arms of globalist broadcast media being constantly brainwashed into non-locality and apathy politically except as the use-truths programmers deem.Alaskan politicians to the federal government needed to get oil lease sales offered in small enough parcels that small bidders could win, or the cumulative cost for buying up all the parcels by large global oil companies would have been much higher with more revenues for paying down federal debt. It is electric autos that have high performance and capability for a wide variety of energy input.
The coefficient of adversity prevents the federal investment in rational, national non fossil fuel development, and the voters have stupidly reelected an oil administration that is globalist rather than nationalist in prioritizing objectives. Connecticut's democrats may be anti-Semitic and reactionary during the Lebanon conflict, yet Lieberman as a Jacksonian liberal may offer some alternative to Paloziism.
Oil companies know President Bush will not invest in real alternatives to oil reliance, relying upon it to fill his family and friendly bank accounts generally. Oil prices will go as high as Americans are willing or able to pay, perhaps as much as 150 dollars per barrel (I wrote last year that they would reach 75 or 100 dollars a barrel)...as Americans are complacent sycophants of globalists these days, and the democrats will fall right into line on that in Connecticut I'd guess.Electric vehicles can get electricity from solar panels in parking lots, wind generators in parking lots, home fuel cells (Ballard fuel cells are available now for 5000) and a national infrastructure renewal could cool superconducting lines with solar power created liquid hydrogen) in deep sub freeway pipelines. Interstates should have power lines for cars to draw electric power from directly.Incidentally the market retail price of my science fiction book 'Alterwall Objectives' is $15.95. It has some stories developed when I lived in Alaska...but not much about oil, the North Slope or BP's leaking 16 miles of oil pipeline.
Non-property Owning Cultures of more than 50,000 years
Ariel Sharon was a tough soldier. Ariel Sharon drove his army unit to the Suez Canal during the 1972 Yom Kippur war with a substantive shrapnel caused head wound bandaged egregiously. While he wasn't first over into Egypt it was only because of direct orders to stand back. A man with prior serious head injuries living in such a hot clime with full political responsibilities, over weight and with age is likely to suffer a stroke or coronary...remember that his doctors did not treat him terribly well after the first incident and let him return to work far to quickly...he should have taken some time off instead and left the Gaza troubles and West Bank terrorist pressure management to micro-managers.
On other topics regarding war and the folly of mankind to err into war and neglect prosperity, consider the report in the July 31, 2006 Newsweek that scientists are working the next to years to sequence the Neanderthal genome. The Neanderthals died out 30,000 years ago leaving Homo sapiens to ponder today what happened? It might have evidently scientists wonder what gives mankind an abstract reasoning ability differing him/her from the Neanderthal’s simplicity. political anthropologists have compared the abstract reasoning of George W. Bush with that of former President Bill Clinton for analogical comprehension studies, yet they overrate the differences in administration policy success' and failures Only joking-president Bush ate too much birthday cake and it caused sugar somulence and fossil fuel complaisance recently.
This is the time of year when lecture radio goes over how communism has never been successful anywhere, or that Fidel Castro is one of the most astounding leaders in history, and truth is neglected for some reason or other. Actually a form of basic communism is the world’s historically most common form of social grouping, lasting since the beginning of Homo sapiens about 50,000 to 1000,000 years before present until something better was invented or made possible. Basic communism is the non-property owning form of human social grouping which is a process of animal association. The concept of property owning is meaningless when land is abundant, products are simple and non-specialized, agricultural work is collective and so forth.
Reproductive success and tribal survival was better for people that shared food to all, allowing members unsuccessful in the day's hunt to eat the bounty of the fortunate that day. When food preservation was nearly non-existent, and tools were Neolithic, no one 'owned' anything, and in fact it was considered undesirable to withhold anything from someone that desired one's knife, hat or sling etc. the simple necessities were mostly identical at any rate.I believe it was John Kenneth Galbraith that pointed out that ownership and 'private property' came about when mankind developed more advanced technologies and specializations that required exclusive possession for increase of worth. If Intel's Oregon plant were common would the clean chip rooms be as clean if winos hung out there on hot days?
The principle of exclusive use is fairly simple. Of course hunter gatherers and slash and burn nomadic peoples had no need to 'own' 'property' or land either...the concept had little meaning so long as they were free to use a place or region or keep discovering equally productive areas.Private property and free enterprise were consequent to social development and specialization quite recent in human history formalized as The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith. Unfortunately modern globalist repression in the form of corporatism wherein government and transnational corporations work together and squash individual freedom to differ in infrastructure choices and in free expression and business innovations, and the traditional 'modern' communist or authoritarian government that dictates and allocates resources to a proletariat work against the benefits of individualization made possible when individual genius is free to pick and choose from the worlds knowledge base elements to synthesize new productions, productions methods, systems structures and technologies for exploration.Fidel Castro's Cuban revolution that installed a communist dictatorship upon a neo-agrarian social culture was a good example of a synthetic retardation of free enterprise with quasi-fascism made in order to avoid the believed repressive extremes of corrupt mobster corporatist capitalism, if the Batista regime could be said to be sort of corporatist.
A society in which property ownership and even government is irrelevant in a more fundamental primitive human context differs markedly from a modern dictatorship that represses individual freedom and instead allocates resources under a sort of martial law.Adam Smith's ideas about free enterprise complementing an economy alongside a benevolent democratic government seeking the well being of the people directly and the nation collectively was actualized with the United States of America of the founders that existed in such a form perhaps for the first 100 years in many of the states that were spare the absolute evil of slavery. Today corporatism has led to a U.S. political stupidity rendering it unable to comprehend the mud wrestling nature of oil and fossil fuel use, federal deficits, enrichment of inimical terrorists’ populations, low education requirements abroad, middle-eastern wars and interminable (Bush years) neglect of more salutary domestic policies that could escape the perennial oil-caused brinksmanship.Some speak rather superfluously about Christian social organizations as communist of primitive times... they haven't given enough thought to what modern communism, government and economic systems with specializations and advanced technology mean.
Modern communism is inimical to the processes of technological enterprise essentially, and Christians were not formulating a worldly government political theory nor economic system. For them the material world was secondary to irrelevant to spiritual affairs. Pure political power concentrates social roles and economic possibilities sometimes, and may lead to reactionary individualism and free enterprise. Christians were in revolt to the power of the world social roles in their allegiance to god perhaps it could be said, yet free enterprise for Christians and property ownership would be just fine as a thing for-itself so long as it did not lead to neglect of the prioritization first of spiritual concerns.
British authorities have busted a possible Al Qa’eda plot to place explosive liquids in innocent appearing packages such as baby’s formulae by passengers aboard trans-Atlantic airliners to halt air travel Anglo-American air travel. The season of globalist explosive liquids has accompanied revelations by Mel Gibson and Robin Williams of alcohol abuse and inflammatory statements in some cases requiring treatment. The Globalist broadcast media-a staunch foe of democracy with extremist brainwashing opportunities is simultaneously assaulting those in submission to God as ‘O’fascists’. Muhammed-o’fascists is a better term than Islam-O’fascists which is a leftist concept of atheists of the Leninist stripe peppering the public with pro-atheist propaganda.
The U.S. Department of Globalist Security was presented with difficult decisions in response to the liquids crisis---would it be better to risk a slight chance of mid-air jet detonations than to leave the hair regrowth formulae at home or face the embarrassment of buying the stuff in a London apothecary? A Senior Analyst at the Oil-For-Money institute said that prices may rise temporarily yet drop this fall when demand decreases.
Iranian advisers have been found as casualties on the battlefield in Lebanon recently, highlighting Iran support for the world’s largest and best armed terrorist organization Hezbollah. The Hezzies received more than 180 million dollars and rocket systems from the Iranian Government this last fiscal year making Iran a partner in terrorism. Lebanon is unfortunately an accomplice in providing safe harbor for the terrorists. The Bush administration is leaving significant problems for the next administration to face with Iran likely developing nuclear weapons and longer range rockets before January 20th 2009.
The Democratic Party is for-itself keeping the wrong arguments in mind about Middle Eastern problem and U.S. Security and is being chastised routinely by GOP Polemic Rave Radio. The Democratic Party in some quarters seems to believe that unilateral withdrawal would not have meaningful consequences to the Middle East or the United States, and seem to have a pre-1990 point of view on Iraqi policy.
If the United States withdrew from Iraq precipitously it would lose credibility of course with all parties living in the region as an untrustworthy partner and probably a bloodbath civil war would follow. Iran would be the unchallenged Shiite terrorist nation in the region of course, yet the Sunni would receive military support from Saudi Arabia and Al Qa’eda would assume a larger posture as defender of the faith of Muhammad so far as it perpetrated terrorism upon the Shia. The United State’s interests would become increasingly irrelevant to the oil profit bloated OPEC nations while the political Captain Quigs of the U.S.A. would receive tantalizing globalist bits about how fuel cell cars are on the way as soon as global corporations form a monopoly on production and individual home-fuel production from solar panels for quickly rechargeable batteries for electric vehicles is safely obscured.
Some Democrats believe that working for a balanced budget and elimination of the federal deficit while flooding the U.S.A. with illegal aliens is possible in a new 8 years of a Democratic administration, yet just another Bush could knock over the savings and return the U.S.A. to deficit spending and militarism in defense against terrorism. A Democratic administration will need to deal with a nuclear armed Iran and its legions of terrorists with rockets in Lebanon and perhaps millions of terrorist in Iraq struggling for supremacy and to drive up world oil prices. President Bush of course will not send the 7th air fleet of stealth fighters and cruise missiles to wipe out Iranian nuclear production, a Senior Analyst at the No-Junior Analysts Institute said, because the price of oil would rise to 100 dollars a barrel almost immediately, and that would have the effect of driving Republicans from office this November with Tom Delay’s name still on the ballot in Sugarland.
President Bush in Deep Pockets of Oil Companies
For a few years I sought to persuade Alaskans to support alternate fuels, and to support conveyance of North Slope oil production to Alaskans rather than to Brits and BP. After the Exxon Valdez spill for which the litigation is still unsettled 17 years later, it became obvious that many looked upon Alaska as little more than a resource colony. Americans have traded their freedom for comfort and safety (foreign car and foreign fuels for trade deficits and globalist political empowerment), and Ben Franklin of course provided the solution to that equation stare decisis.A political coefficient of adversity determines the price of oil today in the United States that Americans are paying more than three dollars a gallon for (raise and gouge until the next administration or whoever seriously supports alternate energy development that lets Americans make their own energy individually for electric cars).
The high oil prices fund foreign pterrorist organizations, yet Americans are entirely unintelligent at switching to native, independent non-centralized and no-globalist or corporatist fuel sources for their autos. They’re put into a sleeper headlock by the arms of globalist broadcast media being constantly brainwashed into non-locality and apathy politically except as the use-truths programmers deem.Alaskan politicians to the federal government needed to get oil lease sales offered in small enough parcels that small bidders could win, or the cumulative cost for buying up all the parcels by large global oil companies would have been much higher with more revenues for paying down federal debt. It is electric autos that have high performance and capability for a wide variety of energy input.
The coefficient of adversity prevents the federal investment in rational, national non fossil fuel development, and the voters have stupidly reelected an oil administration that is globalist rather than nationalist in prioritizing objectives. Connecticut's democrats may be anti-Semitic and reactionary during the Lebanon conflict, yet Lieberman as a Jacksonian liberal may offer some alternative to Paloziism.
Oil companies know President Bush will not invest in real alternatives to oil reliance, relying upon it to fill his family and friendly bank accounts generally. Oil prices will go as high as Americans are willing or able to pay, perhaps as much as 150 dollars per barrel (I wrote last year that they would reach 75 or 100 dollars a barrel)...as Americans are complacent sycophants of globalists these days, and the democrats will fall right into line on that in Connecticut I'd guess.Electric vehicles can get electricity from solar panels in parking lots, wind generators in parking lots, home fuel cells (Ballard fuel cells are available now for 5000) and a national infrastructure renewal could cool superconducting lines with solar power created liquid hydrogen) in deep sub freeway pipelines. Interstates should have power lines for cars to draw electric power from directly.Incidentally the market retail price of my science fiction book 'Alterwall Objectives' is $15.95. It has some stories developed when I lived in Alaska...but not much about oil, the North Slope or BP's leaking 16 miles of oil pipeline.
Non-property Owning Cultures of more than 50,000 years
Ariel Sharon was a tough soldier. Ariel Sharon drove his army unit to the Suez Canal during the 1972 Yom Kippur war with a substantive shrapnel caused head wound bandaged egregiously. While he wasn't first over into Egypt it was only because of direct orders to stand back. A man with prior serious head injuries living in such a hot clime with full political responsibilities, over weight and with age is likely to suffer a stroke or coronary...remember that his doctors did not treat him terribly well after the first incident and let him return to work far to quickly...he should have taken some time off instead and left the Gaza troubles and West Bank terrorist pressure management to micro-managers.
