Consequences of Applied Teleogy


Human culture was advanced in accordance with the purpose of God throughout history…let’s consider some of that…

Prehistoric Greek culture was much like that of the balance of the land north of the Europus; savage. It was only though millennia that settlements allowed the constructions of societies to develop that bring more intense cultural development and social order. The Minoan culture was the first to arrive in Greece and bring a written language and culture concatenated from the ancient civilizations of the south. The Minoan cultures demise was sudden as it's home islands were obliterated except for that of Crete in a Krakatoa like explosion circa 1500 B.C. A local civilization followed-that of Agamemnon and Trojan legends, yet mankind was still led by oppressive royal societies as its best form of governance except in Ur, circa 2000 B.C. God called Abraham out of Babylon and into the desert and Israel in a relationship destined to bring about the major change in human history-a government by a transcendent God of love and respect for mankind by one another, though human original sin would make them fall short of achieving perfection even of democracy.

Classical Greece embodied the contradictions of mankind's relations with itself. A cluster of city states each with a different form of government developed bring them to war incessantly with each other. Athen's and its limited franchise democracy one out and had a league of Delos over-taxing the resources of the other members to pay for things like building the Parthenon. Sparta declared war on Athens after its completion and began the end of classical Greece.
Sparta was the worst of Greek government development with a homosexual butch elite warrior caste annihilating any social order besides war and training for war. Sparta created nothing lasting for posterity except some military victories of dubious necessity. Greek, known by Greeks as Hellas, in Sparta provide slaves named helots to serve of interest of the arrested social order of warriors. It would take the Roman Republic to actualize the society unifying Athenian and Spartan government values to perfect the idea of a Republic.
Servility and savagery each are opposed to democratic individualism…


Tacitus wrote of German society in the first century…

“25. The rest of their slaves have not, like ours, particular employments in the family allotted them. Each is the master of a habitation and household of his own. The lord requires from him a certain quantity of grain, cattle or cloth, as from a tenant; and so far only the subjection of the slave extends.21 Hid domestic offices are performed by his own wife and children. It is usual to scourge a slave, or punish him with chains or hard labor. They are sometimes killed by their masters; not through severity of chastisement, but in the heat of passion, like an enemy; with this difference, that it is done with impunity.22 Freedmen are little superior to slaves; seldom filling any important office in the family; never in the state, except in those tribes which are under regal government.23 There, they rise above the free-born, and even the nobles: in the rest, the subordinate condition of the freedmen is a proof of freedom."

European society needed to be lifted out of it's savage paganism over the next millennium...
Decadent imperialism followed the Roman Republic, yet Christian culture flourished to provide a unity to stand against the invasions of the Omayyad Empire under the false prophet Muhammed. Pope Gregory led a defense against the Omayyad crusades of invasion of Europe that reached Rome, France and the Aegean Islands. Christianity was the motivating cultural element that led Europe out of the pagan re-civilized social structures and into first the imperial structure and then with the reformation and the Dewitt Brothers democratic revolution in Holland into the world's first general government for the masses movement in the form of democracy. While the papacy had become corrupted by worldliness fr a time, it moved Martin Luther, Zwingli, Calvin, Knox and others to form independent and general literacy so people could read the Bible in their own language for themselves...God's teleos had drawn mankind out of a planet of the apes and into one moving to democratic individualism.


Christian movement reflected in ensuing mirrored democratic movements against imperial rule from Rome. Christianity was the motive for invention of the printing press by Guttenburg in 1440. Christianity is a living culture founded upon a transcendent faith in Jesus Christ and the grace of God; ancient Greek culture is dead. Ancient Greek culture, or cultures more accurately are one of the great research subjects of archaeology however beginning more than 25,000 years ago with excavations done at the Francthi cave in the neolithic period of hunters moving through the ages to farmers and the emergence of Minoan culture centered at the island of Thera/Santorini before its end with the apocalypse of volcanism giving rise to the legends of Atlantis.

Jesus Christ ended the pagan era of humanity substituting atoning and renewing spiritual faith in the Absolute post-temporal creator of temporality and much more. The Christian culture began with the physical appearance of Jesus Christ on Earth with His birth in Bethlehem circa October, 3 B.C. The laws of God were then written on the hearts and minds of believers as the prophet Jeremiah had related they would be centuries before. Christian culture brought the end of animal sacrifice and misguided beliefs in inanimate objects as gods. The spiritual draft of Jesus Christ was the central cohering element in the rise of western Europe to civilization. From the remarkable writings of the 1st century apostle Paul 4th/5th century Augustine to the 15th century physicist Isaac Newton and contemporary Christians the Christian culture is a remarkable motivating force in human creativity and ingenuity.

Ancient Greek cultures after the end of the neolithic period were known as bronze age cultures. They developed in mainland Greece (Minoan), Turkey (Anatolian) and in some Aegean Sea islands (Cycladic). A transitional culture developed between the late neolithic and bronze ages called today the Korakou culture with simple mostly non-metallic artifacts extent. It has red colors and good pottery and was a decent, modest culture in the beautiful land. The following Minoan culture named for King Minos was a brilliant early culture giving rise to the first European alphabetic scripts discovered...linear A. The following Mycenaean culture was the legendary culture of King Agamemnon and later the heroic age written of at its end by the Homeric poets circa 1100 B.C.

The war with Troy and intercultural conflict helped bring the end of Mycenaean culture. Aeolian, Ionians and Dorian tribes people invaded the weakened culture flowing over the borders of the culture creating an age of darkness lasting nearly four centuries until reformation of an archaic post-Mycenaean civilization in Attica around the year 750 B.C. The city state of Athens would produce some of the greatest creative minds of ancient world history before the Christian era...Parmenides, Heraclitus., Protagoras, Anaximander, Alexander, Sappho, Euripedes, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Alexander the Great etc. With the appearance of the apostle to the gentiles Paul and his oratory at Athens describing the unknown God to the Athenians at the Agora through which Socrates had once walked and talked with his fellow philosophers the end of the decadent and pagan era of Greece after the end of the golden age of 5th and 4th century Athens began. The Christian culture of which Paul bespoke overcame the dominant Roman civilization transforming its natural corruption and downward plunge into a faith that would motivate the Emperor Constantine to refound a Greek Byzantine culture on the Dardanelles bridging the old world and new; bring lands north and south of the Mediterranean into one fold that would survive the collapse of the Western Roman Empire. Christianity became the genius of a transcendent universal spirit moving the people of the world into a teleos of God, the end of which cannot be presently known. More than 2000 years old already Christian culture may reach the stars, for the world may pass away but the words of Jesus Christ will last forever.

Extra Dimensions of Time?

If time has extra dimensions correlating to the expanding but not hyper-inflating number of potential space dimensions would they necessarily be deployed simultaneously with the new space dimensions? Do the general and special theories of relativity support the concept that only one time exists though it is relative or comparatively meaningful in accordance to its measured location and spatial coordinate to another similarly comparable coordinate? Is the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics a consequence of the nature of time as an arbitrary construct of comparison that diminishes in relevance as the spatial extent diminishes? Is there some built in factor of relativity for spatial dimensions as well as time because it is space-time unified? Is it possible that time has discrete dimensions separable from spatial dimensions and without mass or energy content? Can time be discretely bound within spatial dimensions comparable to spatial dimensions bound within a unified field?

Are virtual particles appearing with expanding space-time a function of extra-dimensions of time concatenated within a non-temporal underlying Higgs field acting as a static background base-time of non-change? The background singularity of Higgs Field non-expansive base time would provide a paradigm for comparison of zero-mass or very low mass zero-point virtual particles appearing in the expanding space-time of our Universe(1) and its familiar standard dimensions of space-time. The uncertainty characteristics of quantum mechanics may be a function of time acting in alternative micro-dimensions in all possible worldlines transecting the standard dimensions of Universe1, or it may not.

The zero-dimensional membrane precursors of the expansion of this Universe were zero-point wave line into strings and then loops and particles eventually engaging methodically other expanding dimensions of classes similar and dissimilar as a divine protocol had decreed. In theory nothing smaller could have arisen than the zero-dimension branes, yet this world was a semblance of God’s will.

Zero dimension membranes entangled with uncertainty and in other virtual universes blessed temporality. This I knew that I had loved the epiphenomenality of life and that in some small way my love was given to be and become on her own in a new for-itself. Disengagement from temporality was seemingly an agony I would encounter as something needful as the mechanics of this world that I could not surpass nor become the origin of required.

Time as a fourth dimension was an arbitrary selection of number from a set paradigm relating a dissimilar function of being to three spatial dimensions posited to have the capacity to be without timing. Space-time unification as one dimensional whole divisible into parts as a parallel theological metaphor of the triune God moving upon the darkness of a primordial void was problematic; time may have as many discrete elements as arbitrary dimensions selected by M-Theory and other post standard model of quantum cosmology physical portraits of cosmological models of the Universe with a pluralverse. The multiverse is an infinite representation of the relationships of monism and pluralism to the one. A myriad of time dimensions could exist collaterally with space dimensions and the relations described by the Einstinian general theory of relativity; humanity within the phenomenalizing, expanding arrangements of the cosmos haven't the time to discover perhaps the ultimate right place of time for-itself and for-others within the given parameters of the Universe; God transcends time for-himself, as do theoretical representations of how the universe expands through its past, present and future history depend upon an extra space-time detachment of timelessness in-themselves in order to represent abstractly the course of space and time post hyper-inflaton or zero-brane evolution into line segments of one dimensions, loops of two or more and multi-dimensional constructs of nth dimensions.

Because a is b is doesn't mean that a is c...certainly logic is plain about nthat so far as it pertains to language yet neither does does a = b imply that a does not equal c.
Jesus Christ is the truth for-himself, yet people are free to develop their own truth theory or select one of many existing truth theories such as disquotation theory expressed by P.F. Strawson.

Emanations from The One were postulated by Plotinus to have given rise to the stuff that is the universe-that human sentience experiences as the Universe. Plotinus was a philosophical realist continuing the work of Plato, yet he expressed a metaphysical paradigm that entails or includes paradigms such as one could discover in Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism and even Judaism. God is personal yet all things return unto the perfection of The One...the difficulty is in recognizing that Jesus Christ is God himself in the protocol relating to saving mankind lost in the material seemingness of the Universe1.

On what the material world is,and something of how it differs from the actual nature of what humanity experiences in receiving and interpreting data from the universe it is helpful to consider briefly Arthur Schopenhauer who wrote about Immanual Kant's transcendental idealism that is the alternative to Platonic realism...

"Space itself is nothing but mere representation, and whatever is in it must therefore be contained in that representation. There is nothing whatever in Space, except so far as it is really represented in it."-Kant

Scientific American had an article on this subject within the last few years, and it is an interesting conjecture. One must wonder if time may be holographic too in some analogous way in addition to space since they were postulated by Einstein to be unified as space-time in relativity theory.

Arthur Schopenhauer in 'The Fourfold Roots of Reason' wrote a sort of 'Kant's transcendal idealism made simple'. Transcendtal idealism as opposed to Platonic realism supposes that everything experienced is conditioned subjectively...that approach is especially helpful in providing contexts for cosmological modeling.

Schopenhauer goes on to explain how the mind constructs models or representations of reality from sense data within understanding, and his method seems reflected in metamathematical models of the dimensions and relations of the 'physical' universe interpreted through experience contemporarily.

"If we take away the thinking subject, the whole material world must vanish; because it is nothing but a phenomenon in the sensibility of our own subject and a certain class of it's representations."-Kant

"Conversely, if we desire to abstract from the subjectivity of the Subject, yet to have something over, the contary takes place, and this leads to Materialism."-Schopenhauer in The Fourfold Root of Reason

"Every true, consequently really primary force of Nature-and every fundamental chemical property belongs to these forces-is essentially a qualitas occulta, i.e. it does not admit of physical, but only of metaphysical explanation: in other words, of an explanation which transcends the world of phenomena."-Schopenhauer

The size or scale and structure of a universe is subjective at least in part contingent on the innate facalties of the human physiology and I would guess upon human understanding and reason as well. Even in logic human beings will rationally organize interpreted sense data and a priori constructs within parameters implicit within their own parameters as existing beings.
Construction of M-Theory and extra diemsional spaces t compliment observed interpretations of sense data experience constructions of the Universe seems on the face of it to be an example of a product cosmology built in accord with present logic parameters of human reasoning. Extra dimensions of space and perhaps extra dimensions of time too of various sizes or powers in relation to one another in hypothesized pluralist relations returning at some point to a monism...the approach is perennial and found in all the worlds major religions perhaps in attempting to describe the One. Even Buddhism postulates an unmoved mover prior to any sort of illusion or emanation such as the Universe seems.

Racism & Retardation

Interestingly enough correlations may exist between racism and retardation. General low I.Q. characteristics leading to frustration in manual task achievement may produce subjective transference of blame to other races. This phenomena may increase in an era where the requirements of abstract reasoning are more demanding than specialized job skills generally permit adequate time for learning necessary geopolitical remedies and adjustments to contemporary situations.

The United States today is increasingly flanked by sundry global economic forces without the benefit of political leadership present to conserve the national economic advantages through liberal intention to develop start-up invented industries and fair labor practices able to meet the economic war of attrition outsourcing American liberty to global control. In the historical stream of valid and just responses to foreign aggression and domestic repression the right way to meet the challenges of globalism keeping within a framework of constitution justice and equal rights for all requires the attitude of the impeccable spiritual warrior seeking after liberty and justice for all citizens. Globalists and short-sighted disaffected minorities are all too ready to join the globalist imperial camp offering everything to everyone as all consumers are treated equal. Every expression of racism and effort to subvert true equal rights and pursuit of happiness in the United States for all citizens equally results inevitably in a political over-correction by global forces to further erode the status of not only the indignant racial group but of national interests and security.

Pragmatically the United States itself cannot afford much more than the 2.4 children per family reproduction rate within the real environmental limitation given the mal-adapted elements of an economic structure largely designed before global environmental awareness developed. Even if indignant whites or radically invasive illegal alien Mexicans had their way and flooded flooded the U.S.A. with just their own genomic specialization affinity group the 2.4 children per family rate would need to be adhered unto in order to avoid over-stressing the environment. Global economic justice can only develop through particular national political justice developing one nation at a time. Imperial global corporatism hasn't any rational capacity to govern and instead simply markets consumer disposable Utopian remedies without any sort of rational plan for global governing. Global governing isn't the same as global marketing, yet global propagandizing hasn't any need for a rational pursuit of truth, the good or political competence it need only support global marketing.

In effect there are two major political forces in the world today in support of authoritarianism-one is socialism and the other is corporatism. Each system represses individualism and democracy quite well and would develop those repressive traits most fully if allowed to attain global domination for themselves individually or conjoined synthetically together in Corporatist-Socialist management-labor oneness. It is quite possible to plot the mass engineering of humanity sociopathically and forever nihilate individual freedom and security. Humanity is in pursuit of economic adequacy and social justice more so than the annihilation of race specialization or race separation. Through individual empowerment politically within secure borders and a general world of economic adequacy consistent with environmentally robust health human development may continue in the long range, there are no realistic monopolistic global political control system that would allow for human political freedom in existence today. A sober justice and pursuit of national security with zero illegal immigration and limited legal immigration is the essential starting condition for addressing present global limits to economic growth within this finite environment.

Propaganda broadcast corporatism has reasoning as deficient as this syllogism...all birds are mammals, all bears are mammals therefore all birds are bears. Broadcast logic deficits are what control the political issues of the day as corporatism is served up the planet fairly readily. It isn't the only wickedness in the world...humanity is born in original sin and will need to fight individually to protect human liberty and opportunities for justice. Adam Smith never intended capitalism to replace government, it is just a good economic method. When corporatism displaces real democracy and annihilates national democracy and represses free enterprise racism is just another enculturation tool to accelerate the consumption of security and end of national health.

H.I.P.I's & Aux Reinfocements for Iraq Security

Talk radio is largely a Scathocrat Group that never, never supports home independent power production or other measures that liberate the citizens of the United States from reliance upon global corporatism.

Home independent power initiatives should be job # 1 for the Democratic led congress; instead they act as servo-unit socialist dupes for global corporatism. While one or two efforts to end the military peace support mission in Iraq might have been worthwhile, the obsessive, losing bills in disregard of every other meaningful measure that might be advanced seems a less than rational application of political power. Let me explain why…

While not a fully qualified GOPPIE I neither qualify as a card carrying Democratic Party Member, this by inference will let you know that I am a politically independent minded individual in the United States. With oil at 83 dollars a barrel and on the way to 100 dollars very likely, and with the value of the U.S. dollar sinking below that of the Canadian dollar-signifying the loss of comparative national economic advantage of the United States since 1992 when globalization set fire to the wooden foundation structures of the United States, the Congress is disregarding the Presidents 26% approval rating and vulnerable inability to veto rational, constructive alternative energy legislation for the time being. The Congress is serving up shot after shot for the goal with a majority height that even a midget center could block, and Hillary Clinton is proposing a medical insurance plan for illegal aliens and disregarding my country doctor national medical insurance plan.

The Country Doctor plan would screen means tested poor, uninsured American citizens and send them to a physician for medical treatment when needed free. Every doctor in the United States could opt to treat one of every five patients gratis in exchange for federal malpractice insurance coverage. If every doctor were required to treat one of every five patients for free the medical system would be much improved with quality doctors available and a bit of public service for the physicians too. The government would delete malpracticing doctors from the program and thus medical competence in the United States would be better governed, and the government would simple provide a screening and referral service for patients and physicians. All social insurance programs require that the cost does not inhibit social and economic justice, that the program is affordable to the majority of the people and cannot be provided individually. Free lunches cannot be provided to a majority that don’t need it without transferring the cost to someone somewhere with deep pockets; and that is the also the core of the problem with American energy infrastructure in transportation.

Americans are importing fuel and cars and loans from foreign nations to move themselves about and to keep financing the federal government and economy while exporting overseas, importing cheap labor illegal aliens for construction work and affordable housing and continuously tracking down the historian Arnold Toynbee’s fin de sicle of civilization goal line. The Congress ignores all the warnings-even that of the brilliant Allan Greenspan and surges forward jettisoning intelligence as if all they needed was to look at the son of the storm trooper body builder of California for a guaranteed prosperity…that won’t work, it may be needless to say.

H.I.P.I.’s are a vital part of an alternative energy plan for the United States. The Congress should set about creating a bill that would encourage Americans to provide their own electrical power in part and that would lead to the ability for Americans to produce their own fuel at home for electric cars and SUV’s (yek). The Congress should stimulate a low-cost generic home fuel cell and home hydrogen electrolysis technology to produce hydrogen safely at home, and also create an array of home solar painting, solar roof shingle, solar building panel and solar panels for themselves that could be purchased with no taxes and with federal tax breaks. The Congress should include in its HIPI bill wind, solar and fuel cell technologies, small business supports for installers of integrated power systems at home, coordination with power company purchases of unused home produced electric power and so forth. Get with it congress and move on to things that work.


Auxiliary Troop/Guards for Iraq Security Tasks
It seems ironic that the U.S. federal government seeks to reinforce civil rights for ordinary Iraqis while enacting blatant age discrimination upon American citizens seeking to provide moderate cost security service for Iraq. The Blackwater expulsion order from the nation of Iraq by Prime Minister Maliki underscores the need for the U.S. Congress to create an auxiliary military cadre of former soldiers willing to volunteer for short six month contracts of military service where needed in order to provide security services without bankrupting the U.S. Treasury. I cringe every time I hear these political spendthrifts mention spending 'treasure' in Iraq as if the money borrowed from China were a native wealth. It is a discrimination against healthy over 50 to age 65 Americans with military service to prevent them from earning a living on short term federal contracts providing the security service such as Blackwater provided at high cost. Volunteers between age 50 and 65 should be available in a few thousands.

Airline pilots retire at age 65 nowadays, and many other occupations have had statutory limitations repealed-why should soldiers able to fire those glock .357 mags with both hands and toss a few grenades be regarded as geriatric cases that at best should work for mercenary firms such as Blackwater?

These former soldiers with contemporary fitness requisites would function under a separate military command structure although available for use in special circumstances. With the limited numbers they would not have more than three ranks and would serve under the command of regular Army field grade officers, perhaps as auxilliary security wo 1's.

Volunteer former soldiers in a 50 to 65 bracket could have a ten day language and culture/basic training course and a five day weapons proficiency retraining and be sent in to fulfill many security jobs as if they were going to Alaska to work on a seasonal fishing or seafood processing job. Personally I paint houses much of the year and would like learning more about Iraq culture and history in person for perhaps an average American wage or a little more as a temporary federal military employee. Perhaps in Washington D.C. politicians live detached from financial reality so far as to keep time with Senator Craig's toe-tapping, mortgage crisis/fuel crisis disregard diplomacy and full spend ahead, here is an opportunity to do one thing right.

Some Senate Pilots Plan to Crash Land U.S. Iraq Policy

Senator Levin leads an effort to promote a crash landing for American Iraq policy rather than a controlled landing. The fear of airborne heights managing an international conflict prompts the Senate’s reach the ground at any price as soon as possible policy to an obsessive cavesmanship preference pursuing safety of chthonic grottos. The buzzword justifying the crash landing of Iraq nation rebuilding support policy is ‘sectarian conflict’, as if the Sunni-Shi’a political and ecclesiastical disconformities were some sort of minor flare up between Druids and Manicheans leading to street fighting on some remote island. The Sunni-Shi’a conflict is the primary Middle Eastern non-racial Muslim conflict and it must be addressed in a rational and comprehensive policy approach by the United States as an element of regional political interest.

Senator Levin may seek to create a sudden U.S. withdrawal to permit a bloody Muslim fratricide to develop for some reason, or Senator Levin may simply be so callous politically as to regard the Iraqi Muslims as lives not worth protecting if there is some cost to Americans, and yet Senator Levin and others of his persuasion could believe that because Iraqi sociology is infused with elements of sectarianism political remediation efforts by the United States are not feasible; the United States can control its Iraq policy transition through strength instead of crash landing it through fear and flight. Stabilization of sectarian regions of Iraq within a federal structure as Senator Biden mentioned is still viable policy course alterity, while the more fossil fuel based policies of President Bush also have a chance of bringing about a coalescence of Iraqi domestic political actors and groups into a stablished, working social order at an a priori higher cost.

Senator Levin’s anarchic policy preferences may benefit in theory certain financial considerations of various special interests, yet without creation of a national domestic non-fossil fuel alternative energy policy to bring the people of the United States directly to complete energy independence from globalization the bills generated in the Senate to crash land Iraq policy and walk away to hoard money in the U.S.A. with a current accounts deficit hasn’t much prospect of working.

As I ride a bike mornings along vast lines of foreign made cars parked along city streets, and watch the foreign made cars moving along with foreign produced fossil fuels polluting the environment and destroying polar bear habitat through global warming I wonder how long the United States can last with such head up there a Senate policies that fail to recognize the extreme danger of reliance upon the internal combustion engine-fossil fuel anachronistic axis of debt. A century ago the motor-oil-auto-highway thing was American an upwardly mobile for the nation; now it has been taken over by the world and serves to destroy the nation’s future. Electric cars and home produced recharging power would be the right way for people accustomed to living within their means, but hey-what’s that…just borrow money from China and India, Japan and Saudi Arabia Senator Levin.

It isn’t especially in the interests of the United States to promote a conclusion of the Sunni-Shia schism that commenced with the murder of Ali, Muhammad’s uncle, it is a neutral point that would produced policy ramifications based upon the nature of the unified Muslim religion, neither is it in the interest of the United States to promote Muslim sectarian conflict because of the implicit retarding consequences of war upon social development.

The United States should not overrate the historical political significance of Muhammad’s heretical syncretism. Muhammad’s warriors plundered and rampaged through a North Africa long abandoned by the Romans and Carthaginians and gone over pretty well by the Vandals and other Gothic tribes on their peregrinations. The Muhammadist warriors followed the lead of the vandals in a reverse course and were stopped by Charles Martel in France efficiently considering that the Carolingian Empire had yet to solidify. Fairly rudimentary European forces with the song of Roland and other inspirational examples rolled up the post Umayyad Mohammedan powers inexorably. It would be wrong to say the Muhammadist surge had no salutary consequences…they removed the last elements of paganism from the primitive, underdeveloped and pestilential regions of the equatorial and near-equatorial regions of the Earth, and built a dome on a Temple Mount previously occupied by a horrible Temple of Jupiter as a sort of place holder until the significant events of prophecy would be fulfilled.

U.S. policy in support of a federal Iraq reinforcing sectarian enclaves would provide time for the people of Iraq to develop a unified government that each sect could trust while policing themselves and their own areas in the meantime. A federal Iraq could serve as a buffer between the Shi’a of Iraq and the Sunni of the oil states of the Persian Gulf and Saudi Arabia while purging their midst of the terrorist forces of Al Qaeda. A federated Iraq with a dedication to open democratic government might be a more trustworthy neighbor for Israel and provide a working partner for the United States in moving toward a regional development with environmental and social goals worthy of human beings today. The United States must detach its Middle Eastern policy from the conflict of interest of reliance on fossil fuels for national transportation…that reliance is a vast policy gaff that is definitely a lubricant for downward national mobility. A stupid people of a stupid nation will run up unpayable debts for various reasons and eclipse the light of its own future, America’s economic, political and educational declines with national and current account debts are coefficients of adversity presenting challenges easy to overcome but evidently easier to ignore for politicians owing their souls to the Satan of corporatist globalization.

Multiverse theory and Genesis

Genesis and multiverse theory have many interesting paradigms each of theoretical natures insofar as humanity hasn't yet developed absolute certainty out of hypothetical models or interpretations of literature. This one universe is created at least within the Genesis account, however theologians haven't ever sought over the millenia for any references or interpretations to multiverse theory, and neither, for that matter did most physicists until recently either.

It is a better bet that God is far more competent at creation and high tech than anything imagined by human researchers and thinkers, and that this present world and Universe as well as the great mystery of the beyond the veil of mortality, and space and time are infinitely well accounted for than not. It is more probable that the fine structure of the Universe and multiverse potentials exist as emanations from an omniscient intellect than that they are chaotic, random assemblies of a second rate nature patched together accidentally. Even the hairs of one's head are numbered, as are the superstrings and universes potential and actual.

Unfortunately a numerological approach to cosmological interpretations of theology and cosmology compels some to find the highest philosophical and eschatological meanings in ossified universal structures in order to determine truth consistency than applied with the erroneous syllogistic reasoning in a post hoc ergo propter hoc manner; the potential number of Universes is applied to try to impeach the fact that God created this one, to prove that he did not create this one universe either. Mal-logic aside, the emanations criterion that the neo-Platonist philosopher Plotinus describes definitely would encompass multi-verse theory, which isn't at all an astounding thing based upon the implications of the Enneads of Plotinus.

The technical structure of God is non contingent and cannot be inferred from anything in the Creation; it should be sufficient to accept the grace of God in that He sent His Son Jesus Christ to the world to be a light in the darkness and reconciliation unto eternal life.

ABout the Two Oil Heirs in a War of Destructive Terrorism

Notes on Neo-Corporatist & State Terrorism and Covalent Support of Globalism in Formation of ad hoc Communes Consistent with Goals of Al Qa’eda in Destruction of National Independence and Democracy.

The present war of terror prosecuted by two wealthy heirs of vast fortunes-the Bush and Bin Ladin families has show more than a modicum of insensitivity to the aspirations of ordinary people. In a recent video the Os Bin Ladin descried capitalism in a sour grapes complaint after the Saudi Government forced the sale of his portion of the family oil and engineering wealth and confiscated/froze the proceeds. The window of opportunity for course correction in international political and economic applied philosophy away from the present imperial slide toward a chaos of capitalism, communism Hindu and Islamic internationalism corrupting local democratic and economic political self-determination may not be open forever. Political ministrations to conserve national cultural opportunities may wither in nations such as the United States of America as confident wealthy political leaders fail to comprehend the consequences of the loss of American traditional cultural values and independence in favor of ingress of pervading internationalism that lines the pockets of those invested in global corporatism.

Local independent business people, tradesmen and the like may work and create new capital value and spend there profits it corporate global outlets that are whisked away to the global shareholders. The redistribution of local wealth to corporate shareholders and the influx of millions of illegal aliens to displace construction trade wage and contractor value are phenomena of globalization’s creeping amoral conquest of the United States.

The loss of national economic and cultural self-determination is in progress with an amoral global stew of Islamo-communist-paganism under an imperial ruling class moving in to replace it. Capitalism during the cold war wasn’t given an opportunity for a detached, analytical review and reformation for application to a post cold-war world. The failure to comprehend the true role that capitalism should play within a democratic society has given license to modern predatory globalists to exploit capitalism as an economic philosophy for mass social repression and world conquest unifying quite well with Chinese communist repression of individual liberty. Neither corporatists nor communists need care about individual free enterprise and free expression; instead they care solely about reinforcing power for the elite organizational leadership they comprise, and mass material formulae for the worker-employees with kickbacks to shareholders/party members. It isn’t too late yet to subdue the wild meglomaniacal excesses of globalism and restore a political philosophy of self determination to American national interests. Globalists like to use extreme dialectical antinomies as straw men to knock down in order to defend their self-fated right to force everyone into a global corporatist political entity of planetary inertial stagnation; there are alternative methods of free trading national democratic social developments aplenty without extreme global oppression by either corporate imperial or communist subjugation. The philosopher Aristotle believed that people would develop their interests most carefully if they owned them for-themselves. Both communism and corporatism take away individual ownership through various networked means and reduce humanity to droll servo-units of the global hive.

Some may argue in support of the global corporatist state that it is a better way to reach out to the downtrodden second and third world people living in poverty than communism. That may be true and a valid premise for corporatist support if communism were the only alternative method of economic development in the second and third world, yet it is not. Democracy with a healthy petite capitalism and limited entry trans-national capitalism would better support local, national economic growth. Free trading small worlds networks able to synergize product development, production and sales without formal legal business unification may avoid the semi-monopolistic capitalization facts of interowned royal global corporatism.

When cold-blooded global corporatism invades to displace local political control at best allowing local politicians to be yes men and smoke blowers for a transnational upper class even local religious beliefs eventually are co-opted or dialectically radicalized by the amorality of globalist takeover creating a local radicalization in response that may foster support for national socialist political dictatorships in the emergent second and third world amidst polities mindful to avoid both communism and false non-Christian theocratic religious domination.

Global corporatist supporting politicians such as President George W. Bush may compel nations to disregard externalities such as environmental harm and global warming because of the traditional unaccountability of business for environmental damage without litigation. Even the NGTO CEO Osama Bin Ladin had the good sense to exploit the corporatist irresponsibility for global warming in a recent video. Al Qa’eda as a non-manufacturing terrorist organization of course contributes little to global warming except when creating mass environmental disasters such as the 9-11 World Trade Center pollutants more than compensating for their lack of smokestack industry ownership. Al Qa’eda has benefited in the past from contributions from Saudi oil wealthy individuals and hasn’t yet renounced fossil fuel as a major factor causing global warming. Non-governmental terrorist organizations (NGTO’s) such as Al Qa’eda are not the only present danger to individual and national economic and political security. Ad hoc global corporations co-opting national political self determination en passant with trans-national corporate existence able to afford purchase of national political leadership loyalty and purchase national and global broadcast media propaganda monopolies assault individual political opposition increasingly without legal accountability through a variety of wicked and ruthless means. Foreign governments may present as significant of a threat to individuals in the United States as Al Qa’eda, or more so; the BBC and NPR are as apt to subvert American individuals as the corporate broadcasters; the Department of Homeland security is effectively a Department of Corporate globalist security to conquer the American Democracy and annihilate American tradition and culture. The U.S. Government will not democratize the broadcast media to Internet podcast use by all citizens and take away a primary socializing tool of corporatist and state propaganda terror technology.

Mexican truckers enabled by pre-9-11 NAFTA provisions to drive throughout the United States will present an increasing and pervasive security threat to every niche of the United States. Bin Ladin must already be grooming truckers from Mexico on delta force quality force delivery package mission training. Foreign packaged trucks and containers with g.p.s.’ will be able to deposit materials anywhere in the U.S.A. for later use. If the Soviet KGB had been given such a fine method of equipment ingress the cold war might have been resolved the other way. It is likely that AL Qa’eda and other ad hoc terrorist organizations dedicated to the destruction of the U.S. democracy, the end of the reality of a working constitution of the United States and free enterprise sole proprietorships will utilize the NAFTA trucking sovereignty surrender avenue of approach to coordinate and deliver terrorist tools even unto Hannibal Missouri. Pioneer Americans recognized the Carthaginian’s comprehension that the way to destroy the Roman Empire was to go for the city of Rome itself, and he made that effort nearly successfully until stopped at Cannae.

Any global corporation will be free to set up shop and deliver to any place in the U.S.A. directly whatever contraband and articles of war it can get past the ineffective customs inspectors.

Cleverly packaged shipments of weapons of mass destruction such as nerve gas or tons of weaponized anthrax might be gotten through in just one truck container and delivered without middleman to anyplace deemed convenient by the personnel in favor of a reconstituted Sunni imperial preference for a Caliphate set Al Qa’eda for mass civilian casualties for tactical political-economic purposes. The NAFTA trans-border trucking provisions should be abrogated immediately, while the rest of the treaty may continue, if Mexico halts its mass waves of over-the-boundary line flood of illegal alien construction workers.

Usama Bin Ladin’s recent video highlighted the similarities Al Qa’eda George Bush and the British Government have in both oil, imperialism and preference for Sunni Royal power of some form in the Middle East. Usama’s misunderstanding of the problem with capitalism is not compensated for by his recognition of the danger of global warming, even unto the decimation of polar bear habitat. Usama’s feeling for the hard edges of capitalism has a Maoist spin, and one in error of course-the problem isn’t capitalism but is corporatist corruption of capitalism and democracy.

The crisis in capitalism today is in its wild, unmanaged power to subvert democracy and individual economic competition. Globalization of capitalism and the existence of large international investment funds work to create a monolithic and oppressive global ruling class without any ethical values respecting the foundation principles of western civilization in individualism, individual self-determination and political equality of citizens.

Globalists and their national globalist broadcast sycophants have an unreformed basic urge toward absolute greed for-itself and self-association with corrupt absolute power. Capital is given an absolute value by the globalists that is assumed to have some sort of magical merit for political organization and justice that might in some way be the most optimal course of economic development possible. That false belief and the sociological facts supporting the mass cattle-lie stampede in support of goal capital investments creates a juggernaut of power crushing individual free enterprise and democracy, self-determination and physical security beneath its unshod hooves in many instances. Adam Smith believed hat capital managed by individuals should be given license to guide itself with a criterion of national democratic government-not without. Real national interests cannot be placed as secondary to global capital without the erasure of political and real security of individuals within their own nations. Capitalism needs and era of reformation into a less volatile and life corrupting, over-the-border tool of destabilization if economic competition is to continue to exist, if individual invention is to be rewarded, if individual work and national security are to continue as meaningful, practical ways of life.

Osama Bin Ladin’s desire to repress all of the people of the globe within a Muhammedist oil imperialism is a rival to the innate imperial drive of global capitalist annihilating national security, individual liberty within nations, protection from corrupt global capitalized powers seeking to put a price on everything and have an ability to enslave the world through the raw power of the biggest piles of capital. Capitalism needs to be controlled by nations in order to allow democracy and citizenship to continue to meaningfully exist, the alternative likely development scenario are large global corporatist communes controlling all broadcast media, buying all national governments and repressions of individual expression and invention.

Like many oppressive dictators Osama seems to believe in the infallibility of wealth and power. Usama Bin Ladin’s desire that all the world kow tows to a Muhammadist pope uniting church and state seems more of a malevolent evil delusion than the most dark depths of the Catholic Spanish inquisition’s goals for world power-the papacy at that time implicitly recognized a pluralist political nationalism even before the recalcitrant Frederick the Elector had his falling out with the Vatican. Osama, perhaps like some oil-indebted corporatists seeks a global power through means that incongruously and curiously collaterally have an economic resonance with the economic goals of global oil corporations.

Terrorism on the United States through promiscuous Mexican truckers insinuating themselves into every nook and cranny of the U.S.A. directly from foreign trucking companies located in Mexico presents a clear and present danger to the security of the United States that the President and Congress should not overlook as usual because of the confidence of comfortable wealth and the obscurity of urgency to adapt quickly. Two of the top tier Republican candidates are terminally soft on illegal alien entry control and probably on the anachronistic trucking provision of NAFTA as well.

I support construction of mag-lev cargo tubes across the United States to move cargo to transcontinental terminals as 3000 miles per hour, yet that will never come about if foreign global corporations in effect take over American highways, and U.S. taxpayers must borrow money from China and India to fix that high infrastructure decade after decade as innovation stagnates, and American highways are dominated by global corporations, global fossil fuels, global vehicles and global political power with the people of the United states becoming a basic sort of curiosity and lint on the slipstream of the new globally controlled America. What congressional let that trucking forfeiture of sovereignty provision into the bill that far exceeds the concept of free trade without cross order tariffs? The people rely on their political representatives to actually read the details, and not to put in seditious corporatist measures such as the Mexican trucking subversion.

End of Summer Politics-The Work of Political Analysis

As the Bush administration winds down it is time to consider the end of summer's politics as well; insects become like little machines with stopped batteries as the temperature drops below freezing wrote Loren Eisley in 'The Star Thrower'. What will happen to Bushite foreign policy when the prestigious Waco region barbeque technician leaves office in January 2009 for one of a clump of unreformed corporatist lackeys to take the wheel of the giveaway of the U.S.A. spree to benefit global corporatism-will the next fearless leader continue the rupturing illegal immigration policy over the Mexican border, continue to hemorrhage the federal current accounts and national debts, keep Americans failing in comparative international education achievements, fail to have a progressive environmental policy, fail to have solid diplomatic skills and international relationships of a more cordial and realistic nature, fail to liberate the nation from reliance on global corporate fossil fuels and automobiles, fail to develop an alternative economic strategy to global oligarchic conquest of the United States, fail to comprehend how to have national and international free trade yet still develop a national policy goal of comparative advantage through radical national proprietary technological and ecological inventiveness and fail to comprehend how a radical reliance on foreign production and financial services are typical cyclical phenomena of a self-destructive end of civilization cycle?

More importantly will the next President fail to comprehend the existential social characteristics of Middle Eastern politics in relation to the interests of the United States? The mirage of Muslim congress with any supposed collateral interests of the United States in the region is a changing sandstorm of power and resources juxtaposed with antipathetic sectarian interests as variable and volatile as would be any political interests predicated to stability within a corporatist macro-economic paradigm. The corporatists will seek to acquire the most resources for-themselves at the least cost and produce the most profit for-themselves. Regional political relationships 'established temporarily will be subverted as soon as outsourcing and comparative cost advantages indicate it useful to do so. Tying U.S. national security to middle-eastern oil may be lubricated with the excuse that it will keep terrorists from following the President or military forces 'home', yet perhaps the President might return to Dubai and consider the issue more fully until Christmas or such time as the drop of camel dung from some Penthouse stable provides the sudden illumination needed for enlightenment.

Iran and Iraq are interesting states for political study especially when considered from the paradigm of how the people of those nations relate to the United States, and of course the ancillary question is what power groups in each nation concerned would seek to pursue the good of the majority instead of the good of the narrow political ruling class. Iran has become a traditional political adversary and bete noir for the Washington D.C. insiders, who refuse to recognize the role that American support for the Shah and his terrorist secret police had in alienating elements of popular Iranian political opinion regarding the United States. Polyanishly American politicians have the idea overmuch that Americans can do no wrong and that Americans have some sort of inalienable moral supremacy rather allowing political policies of an infallible characteristic formerly associated with papal decision making. That popular delusion has at least one significant consequence of providing support for a blundering, blind drunken globalist submission to global corporatism as a sort of American super-economic state that will provide a better way of life for everyone everywhere as they destroy the world environment for corporatist profits. Blind U.S. submission to a hypothetical world-state of American led corporatism-socialism will continue to undermine national security for the United States as it is a raving, toady vassal state of corporatism. Maybe Hillary Clinton-former Wal-Mart board member of the no-union-shops Wal-Mart Corporation can persuade declining unionists that she is labor's best Democratic Party friend as it moves along with all Americans into parity with Chinese, Indian and Mexican workers.

Political Pollyannaism in Presidential candidates’ juggernucks sycophantically with global corporate draining of American economic health. American entry into a more globalist status will mean that the traditional self-destruction of nations historically will become a U.S. trait too, and that the fratricidal wars amongst nations and peoples demonstrated the last five millennium will now wave over the United States as it lets down its guard and becomes more concerned about cheap profits on foreign labor than on discovering new ways to educate and innovate national technical and environmental progress. As the U.S.A. loses detachment, intelligence, independence and strength its ability to dampen global chaos will disappear.

Instead of giving up on U.S. culture and identity and chasing after foreign investments like a camel wandering after a water supply all over the desert a second founding generation of Americans developing their own real estate and opportunities should be built. It is necessary to conceive a national policy that develops individual American inventiveness, independence and prosperity even as global corporations have an awesome, unpatriotic and subversive economic advantage. Can Americans develop a national identity like that of the British or Swiss-composite peoples but a people still and not completely revolving door internment camps for poor people mooned by corporatist overseers and media?

Iran's people probably could get along with many Americans, but the fossil fuel politics and corruption of power elites very likely will mean that belligerency as the preferred mode of international relations will prevail. American politicians seem to prefer middle-eastern royals with oil reserves and find no contradiction in a democratic nation preferring royalty abroad over populist revolutionaries. Such hypocrisy perhaps becomes noticed in time and people learn to distrust an empty rhetoric about democracy bloviated by global corporatist stuffed shirts.

Perhaps Israel is an American friend, yet everyone else in the Middle East may just be a temporary friend or foe of an existential and phenomenal kind.

Withdraw American forces from Iraq in January 2009 and perhaps no civil war or chaos would occur beyond the usual chaos and striving for resource power...maybe the Shia in Iraq and Iran will not fight each other, maybe Saudi Arabia and Iran won't either...maybe all the middle eastern governments will decide that terrorism isn't in their interests, and neither are wars...who can say? The next President needs to be one with experience suing global corporations to limit their predatory traits-a democracy must govern corporations instead of the opposite. The next President should share an intelligent preference for American domestic interests that simultaneously provides an example or model about how to do things right for hypothetical other second world and first world nations that need that sort of thing and believe that it could be found in the U.S.A.

Ideas & Options for U.S.-Iraq Policy

Isaiah 18:4 reads "For so the Lord said to me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest"

It isn't simple for a Christian of the United States to comment about administration policy regarding Iraq from either a prophetic, eschatological nor a secular, political point of view. On the one hand God has pre-determined human history yet people have free will to choose to conform their fate to the pre-destined. Much as bees can fly anyplace they 'choose' but invariably move to the nectar and flowers of destiny, human original sin and disregard for the truth and will of God leads to conflict, strife and confusion. Muslim's are lost without the saving grace of Jesus Christ while the House of Jacob awaits God's final reconciliation of a remnant unto Himself.

American Christians may wonder of the present role of Iraq in Bible prophecy, and if the administration is able to use Feith based policy to shape events in Iraq consistent to the Biblical guidelines if such exist if the administration interpretation of the road map to the second coming of Christ is correct, select a Mahdi for Prime Minister or separate conflict of interests between corporatism, contract and politics as readily as oil and water from a contaminated pipeline? Can administration confusion or perfidy regarding Bible prophecy, Calvin's five points and the time-line of teleology be transcended without national grief pursuant blundering into serving as a prophetic bad actor in Mesopotamia, or exploitation of misinterpreted prophecy for purely financial gain and greed by select corporatist neo-cons with a belief that globalism and corporatism are good for themselves? American Iraqi policy can be considered from many points of view of course, and following I will consider some of the most 'material' and readiness to change aspects, following a couple more verses from Isaiah about Mesopotamia and the nations...

13-9 "Behold, the day of the Lord cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate; an he shall destroy the sinners thereof out of it."
13-11 "And I shall punish the world for their evil; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtyness of the terrible."
13-15"Every one that is found shall be thrust through, and every one that is joined to them shall fall by the sword."

These prophetic 'sound bites' of Isaiah are fascinating with a triplex space-time continuum reference possible in relation to Isaiah's time, a future time and times and a half regarding Jesus Christ and the future history of the Jewish people. Southern Mesopotamia may even become a wilderness area and refuge for endangered species it seems.
Perhaps the best application right now for the prophetic criterion of Isaiah is simply for the willing to be saved spiritually by the Son of God the Lord Jesus Christ and for the administration to apply Christian kindness principles pragmatically to its macro-political Iraq policy so far as possible reducing it's accentuated policy prioritization of future corporate oil profits.

Another couple of verses from Isaiah...

17-11 "In that day shalt thou make thy plant to grow, and in the morning shalt thou make the seed to flourish: but the harvest shall be a heap in the day of grief and desperate sorrow."
17-12 " Woe to the multitude of many people, which make a noise like the noise of the seas; and to the rushing of nations, that make a rushing like the rushing of mighty waters!
17-13 "The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters; but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind."

If critics of the U.S. Administration's approach to rebuilding a peaceful Iraqi infrastructure following the April 2003 Iraq war offered other than existential retreat options without recognition of possible empirical political consequences it might be easier to discover a viable political way to satisfy U.S. and Iraqi interests together. Iraq has many trans-national, regional interests that need to be addressed simultaneously with internal stabilization issues not unlike the way a human cell has simultaneously evolving internal and externally oriented components. Al Qae'da might be thought of as an HIV virus entering Iraq's cell border membrane to place explosive wrong R.N.A.. instructions in the government reconstruction D.N.A. 'ladder' perhaps in the interest of external oil consuming organisms.

The land by the rivers isn't readily amenable to formation of an insular monocultural nation unaffected by extra-territorial political interests. Many Iraqis live in Iran, or have lived in Iran for instance, while many Kurds and Sunni have lived elsewhere as well for a variety of reasons, and pipelines from Iraq as well as commercial highways travel in all directions.

Moderation isn't by any means necessarily a vice or virtue in relation to any given political circumstance but is one of several policy directions. It is not always possible to arrive at the end of a political journey immediately without going through intermediate stages, neither is it either possible always to know in advance the course to the destination, but course corrections may be needed as the journey's political landscape unfolds; adaptability is important in foreign relations even while keeping mission discipline. Iraqis may need to complete phases of their walk through Mesopotamian reorganization alone when the regions of Iraq can develop enough security to go forward without stumbling immediately into civil war. The U.S.A. may need to be satisfied that they have given the people of Iraq a reasonable opportunity to choose their own fate for-themselves so far as God allows.

A military force reduction and relocation policy of moderation could develop with American military forces in Iraq reduced to 70,000 soldiers and relocated along the boundaries of Shi'a Sunni and Kurdish regions, Baghdad and the Iraqi borders. A sectarian Iraq may already be forming and abandonment of Iraq's existing reconstruction to the forces of terrorism by immediate complete abandonment would perhaps create not only a civil war, but sectarian wars regionally as well as Iranian-Gulf States-Saudi wars and a terrorist insurgence in Saudi Arabia.
Sectarianist regionalization of Iraq may or may not lead to democratic liberalization. The people of Iraq eventually must choose for themselves what relationship to or degree of Muslim clerical influence in government they will have. The international should community support their choices and trust that an actual liberation created by civilized values will draw the people of Iraq away from reliance on hopefully outmoded tools of civil repression. Global corporatism that attacks democracy surreptitiously is an increasing danger to the west as well as a possibly disingenuous advocate for democratic reform in Iraq today.

Plainly the history of U.S. reconstruction policy in Iraq entails an element of ineffective trial by error. Military deployments have sometimes been used in substitute for political intelligence and policy design by the U.S. administration without accomplishing general objectives. Military logic requires, like any valid syllogism, for validity that the premises if valid must equal the conclusion. U.S. military logic in the 2003 war was sound enough to accomplish the victory, what was absent was any sort of logical and valid premise corresponding to empirical political reality for reconstructing Iraq politically.

The long-term deployment of the U.S. military in Iraq in substitution for more intelligent and nuanced U.S. Iraqi political interactions and planning presents a military logic posture unsuitably designed for production of a political victory. Complex terrorist, sectarian, economic, global oil and alternate energy issues, disparate regional political systems and ethnic issues do not present themselves directly or obviously to a plain military logic solution wherein military force suitably applied will produce a 'victory' accomplishing the conclusion postulated. The United States has no interest in the totalization of power such as an occupying Empire presents in which universal military logic is a valid tool, and in which human rights of 'subjects' are of no concern; that criterion is hopefully a dead historical oddity left with buried empires.

The U.S. military is given the objective of replacing an Iraqi Army and intelligence service from the former regime of Saddam Hussein to maintain social order until a new Iraqi, unified government and it's Army and police forces is made to govern the people that are also aggrieved in part by the continuing U.S. military presence. With the low financial cost of terrorism and number of new volunteer terrorists available the standard military logic calculation for winning is at the least unclear, if not improbable. An intifada of volunteer terrorism with remote financial sponsors could go on for decades in theory that the U.S. military as a national police might be unable to contain. Unlike many of the standard anti-insurgence books of the past designed to counter a native insurgence supported by a percent of the people locally the Iraqi crisis has several streams of terrorist running into the region with different targets, different goals, different financing and a variety of munitions sources. Standard counter-insurgence operations of a military nature will have reduced effectiveness in such an environment; political adaptations to isolate and control terrorism-- Iraqi firewalls with sectarian Iraqi fire-guard personnel may be a reasonable adaptation to U.S. support policy for the central government of Iraq.

Opposition to the U.S. occupation force arises from a number of points, and the opportunity for enemies of the United States to harm America financially with great cost efficiency in Iraq is another factor promoting global insurgence localized in Iraq. Americans are borrowing and spending about 20 billion dollars per month in Iraq while terrorists perhaps spend a million or two.

The costs to the United States of the prosecution of peace in Iraq are tremendous reaching towards a half trillion dollars and up. The opportunity costs to diverted infrastructure development in the United States are also substantial, and one wonders if the corporatist-socialist pig-vermin elite in D.C. are aware of the costs since they have a globalist point of view economically. The corporatist-socialist axis of deficit spending and civil repression advocates flooding the nation with cheap Mexican migrants in order to enrich the corporatist's profits while social services for the immigrants are added onto the public debt. Taxpayers such as myself working in free enterprise disadvantaged house repainting and writing may earn just 6100 dollars a year and receive a 950 dollar tax bill with federal demands for immediate payment of 531 dollars plus interest, and that recovering in a year from a separated shoulder and journey's through Alaskan forests in deep snow to avoid starvation. The federal government supports a corporatist no net tax payment ,no bid contract redistribution of wealth to globalists with corporate broadcast media disarming U.S. mass political and civil intelligence through propaganda. The D.C. demons with their socialist alter-ego will simply gut the independence of the United States and leave a wreck for future generations if given a chance. The globalist matrix is the essential transcending reality over U.S. nationalism. It does not require victory of peace in Iraq either as it is an ongoing profitable enterprise for the right corporate connections, and indignant locals that are Muslims or whatever are simply untrained consumer-proles that can be corrected through superior and eventual military force. Such idiot lack of reasoning in government permits extremist Islamist reactionaries greater opportunity to foment terror against such a hapless foe. The United States as a nation picks up the tab for global corporate perfidy overmuch. While in the cold war era corporations were the counter-example to socialist-Leninist Marxism of the Soviet Union's dull economic monolith in the post cold war era corporatism has run amok without regard for the democracy and American national self-interest that supported it largely.

Of 450,000 tons of military weapons and explosives in Iraq following the 2003 war more than 200,000 tons remain hidden awaiting use by resistance and criminal gangs it has been written (see Allawi's 'The Occupation of Iraq'). Terrorists arriving from Saudi Arabia or elsewhere may bring 50,000 dollars (see Allawi's book) or more with them to purchase influence with the money supplied by oil wealthy Saudi radical Islamists. American dependence on fossil fuels fights against their own strategic regional interests in supporting a Shi'a majority for democracy in Iraq that seem to prefer an Islamist government after bi-lateral terrorist arm-twisting, that is opposed by a Sunni minority used to supplying a totalitarian government over the Shi'a, and an external Saudi proletariat of oil wealth committed to the destruction of the emergent Shi'a dominated Iraqi central government. The United States in the mean time has bungled its rebuilding policy for Iraq in a variety of ways.

If the Shi'a and Shi'a militias patrol their own areas and form their own security nets at least peace in that region should develop, and Sunnis patrolling Sunni areas might be able to defeat the terrorists themselves, and the Kurds similarly while all three groups participate in a unified government in Baghdad.

American military forces could relocate to new border security regional areas with better security for themselves, and help prevent sectarian terrorists from travelling to opposite sectarian areas to perpetrate suicide bombings.

Even the Iraqi police force has tended to be divided along sectarian lines, while revenge killing of former Bathists has occurred by Shi'a militias affiliated with the police. If one combined the Bloods, Crips and Mexican Mafia or Lunatics into one police force in Los Angeles maybe a certain degree of inter-police force killings would develop as the rival gangs vied for control, and as they purged rival turf while perpetrating revenge killings. If Cholos or the tattoo cult from beyond financed heavily by Venezuelan oil money or Columbian drug cartels breezed in to blow themselves up and splatter innocent gang dominated civilians all over the streets of Los Angeles to complicate political stabilization perhaps it would take some time for the new police force to develop a unified character...but in time the Top Dog would emerge after sufficient bloodbaths to consolidate 'the boys' under his aegis quite probably. The Iraq security situation may deserve an equally optimistic formulation for stability soon.

U.S. interests do exist in both a peaceful Iraq and a reduced military presence in Iraq rather than either troop increases or sudden withdrawals something like removing primary building supports rather than a removal of scaffolding.

U.S. congressional votarees of complete, sudden withdrawal should formulate leadership not upon poll numbers by an uniformed electorate but instead educate the electorate about the circumstances of deployment, conditions of occupation, consequences of remaining or departing and options available to creatively and meaningfully accomplish American policy objectives in a moral and democratic paradigm.

American Iraqi policy hasn't been much subtle and nuanced but instead trended toward the pursuit of a transference of idealized visions that would not actualize perhaps even in the increasingly corporatist dominated U.S.A. Speeches and goals with timetables that work more for abstracted from Iraqi pragmatism administration planners trained in think tanks are countered by Democrat Party absinthe-forgetfulness planks seeking a sort of existential departure from Iraq without American consequences at the pump-their other preferred point of contact for reality beside reality t.v. American Idol etc; one can just drunk drive off a bridge and swim away from the mess anytime to sober up and get on with things properly.

Policy development in the administration does not progress much over time. The G.W. Bush inherited a fine military that it spent in Iraq and Afghanistan and hasn't had anything else that worked in the last 6 years of its own innovation. Iraq peace reconstruction efforts have been notably unimaginative and misguided, insensitive and retarded while corruption was allowed to flourish in Iraq and in the contracts let to favorite corporations. It is still possible to conclude the American Iraqi involvement in a satisfactory way to all beside the terrorists of Saudi Arabia and other Sunni countries perhaps, by following a phased redeployment and reduction of U.S. occupation forces in support of increasing regional security of Iraq's major sectarian regions.

Simultaneously with sectarian autonomy and self-governance, control of transsectarian terrorism with border security should be structured. Relocation and concentration of U.S. military forces in better defensible areas of sectarian refereeing security control and oil field pipeline protection could structure better, temporal implementation of Iraqi security measures.

Select infrastructure and energy production decentralization through independent energy producing home solar panels, construction of security and recreational canals in Baghdad and other sharply conflicting sectarian areas, manufacture of electric toilets with the Incinolet company as contractor consultants for the governments of Iraq and other individual enabling technologies of decentralization and environmentalism should be advanced.

Financial and political empowerment of the people of Iraq by transfer to private, individual citizens equal ownership shares of the oil fields of Iraq presently owned publicly by the government should develop. The U.S. Congress should pass a resolution urging that action and also create a U.S. Home power production bill and a no taxes on pure electric car sales bill.

With all the citizens of Iraq as personal equal stock owners of Iraq's oil any terrorists destroying oil infrastructure would be opposed by the overwhelming majority of the people in all likelihood. The Iraqi oil stock should not be available for sale to anyone for ten years after date of issuance.

The United States would perhaps save trillions of dollars if the people of Iraq owned their own oil and a stable, peaceful, non-belligerent society existed because of the stabilization of the cost of oil, reduced need for U.S. military costs in the future and so forth. A new, bigger middle east conflict that shuts down most middle east oil production would raise the price of oil above 200 dollars a barrel with global shortages besides.Americans would need to borrow money from Russia to finance the government deficit spending instead of from China, India and Japan as at present.

Another alternative goal for some anti-democracy planners is to coerce the majority Shi'a of Iraq in some way into another Sunni dominated tyranny and continue an otherwise royal dominated Gulf and Saudi Arabian oil production array with Wahabists and Salafists radicalizing Muslims 'from the right'.

Most terrorism against U.S. targets internationally have been from the Sunni sect, while Shi'a terrorism tends to be more local. It was Iranian revolution against an imperial government that broke the former block of royals supplying oil to America after the nationalization of Arab oil field contrived by Qaddafi. Corporatists seem to like royal governments quite a lot as the 'consumers' have little to do besides purchase as the government deems it proper. The oil producing aspects of the U.S. military-industrial complex have never forgiven the Shi'a for deposing royal oil suppliers, and the U.S. federal tendency to advance crude oil as the primary and decisive American value in middle east foreign political relations has matured as a frequently contradicting policy in regard to actual American interests of national security.

American economic interests have also suffered as the preference to rely upon oil and Sunni royalty into the 3rd millennium have overshadowed transition to alternate, non-trade deficit, environmentally benign fuel infrastructures. A retarded American national economy flanked by corporatist interests in a number of ways fails to trust and develop democracy, continuing national independence and environmentalism for itself and lapses into the short-term profit agenda of corporations without concern for national sustainability or civil rights even seeking to flood in millions of cheap laborers to transform the U.S.A. into a sort of synthetic Hapsburg's peonized empire under unified globalist-corporatist socialist rule balancing out the mass billions of poorer continental peons of China India and Latin America. Quick corporate profits are the transforming, paramount criterion of emergent American politics, with C.E.O.'s of top corporations averaging 8 million dollars a year in compensation for globalizing, outsourcing and subverting the United State's interests politically.

A brighter and more sensitive administration than that of President Bush might have applied a plethora of alternative and independent home power solutions to Iraq's issues of criminal gangs, black markets, broken energy infrastructures, vulnerable centralization of transmission lines and so forth. The people of Iraq were waiting for real improvements immediately in the sweltering heat, for their broken sewers spewing filth in Sadr City to dry up and the affluent excretions to become contained with perhaps work for the 70% unemployed; the administration foisted top-down dysfunctional government centralization through corrupt foreign contractors and corrupt administrators through a trim line of terrorists creating a mockery of a trickle down structure from an internally fractured 'government' of Iraq without an Army, police or intelligence corps. Death squad militias formed for civil defense in Sadr City in the absence presiding legal authority.

Though Iraq now has a very challenged sovereign government it isn't too late to redeploy and reduce American military forces in Iraq coordinated with intelligent, immediate quality of life bettering engineering projects. If the administration does not support the actual conditions for popular rule in Iraq with peace...even if they do not like the Shi'a because of hate of non-royal oil sales in Iran and concern that Mr. Sadr of Sadr City might wear a starched turban into political office becoming more powerful than a Rosie O'Donnel with death squads.

As a long range scenario a tripartite Iraq with a weak central government in Baghdad may be less harmful than a variety of other middle east conflict scenarios or a perennial 20 billion a month budget for U.S. soldiers to wander in Sunni or Shi'a houses in search of terrorists that maybe won't go away until no one will loan the U.S.A. any more billions to keep them in Iraq. A weakened U.S.A. financially that also redistributes its wealth to the middle east at the pump might be a Wahabist's economic dream come true.

Ali Allawi's book of December 2006 'The Occupation of Iraq; Winning the War; Losing the Peace' provided a substantial brief for individuals interested in the history of Iraq since circa 2000-2006, and should be read by members of congress interested in formulating informed opinions about U.S. Iraq policy.
