Fifty-year Kondratieff wave cycle modeling should place America at the edge of a depression-yet it could be wrong for many reasons including the trans-national transition of the American economy perhaps forestalling the K wave in the U.S.A. and expanding it to the global perhaps in a 75 year criterion...who can say. Generational change and housing lifespans and many other factors go into the supply and demand for housing. What America needs is good concrete dome housing that have an effective r value of 100 and cost approximately sixty dollars per square (maybe it should be round) foot.

The housing construction industry is historically associated with the well being of the economy. When the housing market recedes recession follows. The assumptions about historic roles of housing construction in the economy like the role of low inflation rates may be anachronistic in the shaping adverse world order of trans-nationalism.

http://www.financialsense.com/fsu/editorials/jain/2006/1113.html another boom-bust theory
Can trans-national corporatists just fiddle with the U.S. economy in relation to election cycles in order to maximize profits and corporatist power? Why doesn't WalMart sell solar panels and wind driven electrical power generators or the federal government build monolithic concrete dome homes on military bases?
Foreign investment in the U.S. mortgage market is large, it went from $2.763 trillion in 1992 to $8.144 trillion in 2001. With the dollar becoming shakier and investment elsewhere such as China appearing attractive foreign investors in the U.S. mortgages may be uncertain about continuing the increase. With so many foreign interests involved in America's economic infrastructure it is hard to say how much the next administration could do even if it was willing to change either housing or transportation infrastructure much. Basically no one can expect a serious rectification of macro-economic interdiction procedures from federal leadership.
Between 1997 and 2001 foreign held U.S. equities increased from 1.513 to $2.857 trillion. In recent years foreign investment in the U.S.A. has increased. Trans-nationalism is taking over U.S. political self-determination by influence. Oil profits have allowed Citygroup and other U.S. firms to be purchased by Arab oil interests. The U.S. political leaderships would not change the way 5.5 million homes are built in the country in good years with support for better lot design and zoning to support it nor preference for home power-production or concrete domes for heating-cooling efficiency and longevity-nothing that would make the U.S.A. a safer, better more prosperous nation. Foreign investors have 24% of the total investment in equity in income producing properties in the U.S.A.
Direct foreign in the U.S.A. reached its highest level in history of 335 billion in the year 2000 during President Clinton's final year in office. Though the trend was downward after the 2001 incident it has returned to the increase with 161 billion invested in 2006. Foreign takeover of U.S. businesses is another consequence of trans-national policies by the administration and congress that have accelerated outsourcing of jobs to maximize not American but foreign investors and interests. The cheaper U.S. dollar allows increased foreign purchases of discounted American businesses and properties.
Housing technology and demographic facts could reduce the need to rely on housing expansion at all if environmentalism were more naturally included in the personal dwelling concept. Larger home lots with better landscaping and a small, more efficient and longer lasting home such as a monolithic dome could reduce this major element of the economy to a lower level freeing up more personal capital savings for investment in personal production. Federal unimaginativeness has encouraged over-reliance on rectilinear stick-frame dwellings with minimal green space. The federal government also of course fails to support active personal transportation modification to non-fossil fuel power supply to the nations detriment. Economic cycle can be altered with timely, incremental public sector transitions to new technology infrastructures.
Economic management in one nation has implicitly different assumptions and challenges than in the trans-national or global business paradigm in which economic management entails so far as the United States goes discounting local or regional international economic slumps so well as the U.S. economy is good enough to return trans-nationalists to office. Trans-national corporatist management paradigms may use low inflation goals as a lever to undermine the national economy. It may be a subversive trend because of what is done to accomplish the low inflation rates in the U.S.A., while in China the yuan is over-valued yet the Chinese economy is thriving albeit with pollution and other external costs.
Low inflation and low unemployment rates in America are accomplished not the old fashioned way with honest work, a balanced budget and innovation and intelligent economic management but through the Enron model of transnational ponzi stoked by trade agreements to make it easier for trans-national corporations to relocate and exploit cheap labor, floods of millions of cheap laborers into the U.S.A. and trillions of dollars of cheap imported goods for domestic consumption. The low inflation rate does keep the prices low and products affordable for necessary consumer items yet is also financed with vast federal debt and a consumer spending and no savings policy.
While Americans can afford to live the economy is basically ill-founded and building up foreign rivals in the long range from oil purchases from OPEC to capital investment in new Chinese factories and infrastructure and so forth. In the United States wealthy foreign corporations can purchase housing, energy and mortgage corporations as well as real estate with higher valued currencies while Americans drift toward homelessness and insolvency. The ill-health of American economic management since the 1980's can be measured by the decreasing percentage of Americans that speak English as an internal proletariat from Mexico floods in as Chinese partners to keep the rate of inflation down and trans-nationalism roaring ahead. Sure inflation or higher prices on everything is bad and with the end of the Republican administration in January 2009 it may be a necessary follow up to 100 dollar per barrel oil prices and other 'hidden' inflation economic techniques designed to gouge and degrade U.S. consumers and build trans-national and foreign interests. President Ronald Regan's use of short term Keynesian hybrid supply side economics may have been justified but it transformed into a lever to enrich the richest and outsource the U.S. economic health.
Isolationism and inflation are bad extremes of course, yet so is the rabid transnationalizing
mindless dronary that cares not a whit about prioritizing U.S. intelligence in macro-economic management policy. The United States should be a leading conservationist, energy production, environmental health increase and security role model for the world to follow rather than an amorphous trans-national siphoner of profits for select trans-national corporations. Some large corporate M.B.A. personnel may be simply pimps regarding national human interests looking for just cheap profits and undeserving of trust by the gullible citizens of the United States. The housing industry driven by cheap labor much of which is illegal needs honest money to purchase it and finance it's increase at some point. With the financial related sector of the nation's economy far too high for health it becomes somewhat difficult perhaps to find the rare honest workers to pay the sophisticates not creating anything materially the high prices they need to keep Wall-Street going and able to sell out to Dubai. Heck, it's only oil anyway and goes up in smoke.
Trans-national corporations may be a form of robust ad hoc collectives crushing domestic political opposition in order to increase their own profit naturally enough. Politicians in the United States should be more patriotic and seek to enrich all of the people of the United States, revitalize the environment, secure a no illegal alien ingress fact and balance the federal budget. While trans-national corporations will take care of themselves the federal government should look after the interests of the people of the U.S.A. not through socialism or the opposite of fealty to trans-national corporatism but within a rational realism that does not view Americans as replaceable and downgradable assets or human capital. The nation needs a sound immigration policy of just 350,000 annually from all sources and with a just and unbiased representative selection of the global demographics. They should all be on a course to citizenship over seven years, be given free English language instruction and leave if they choose not to become Americans after seven years.

Wave Standard Dreams
Dream waves strike the shore adding memories
ideas and visions in time that rent
hope apart and for itself together with each place
walked through the forests and nights
when passages in particular left the sounds behind
like classes of social dreams arranged together
the public sees in it's objects pluses or minuses
proposed from M.B.A.s to allocate and distribute four four in C sharp
like the pointillist city put together by my friend the beautiful poet
struck down in her prime by mal-wear
these wonderful stanzas strolled alone and were carried over the sands
in winds of the evening breeze with oceanness
the sound was a roaring eternity that lasted through all the morrows
though they curled in and broke myriad maths into the landshore currents
so where is she now one wonders
No one cares about the blank verses and standard paragraphs
presumed by prose to launch a thousand lines advancing as rhymes
swift and determined so much so that they have formed
images of a burning hot sun in the desert sky
with millions of vultures and oil pumps, skeletons and S.U.V.s
black toxic smoke and choking sands at 100 dollars a barrel
to pollute the one blue atmosphere
something like a dream that changes it's moods with colors
blushing sunrises orchestrated by a Chopin attacking the horizontal keyboard
fading into the beginning of solid color work
it becomes unnoticed until the fall rays light more vividly an Earth
So one cares about savings dreams and metaphors
flying away from nightfall and sin
away from the infinite worldliness that mumbled meaninglessness
urging for the angels to be released unto them
though the angels were traveling incognito
neat the city was racked up though there were at least two or three good people
the dreams turn this way and that while the eagle flies
beyond comedy shows and writers on strike
past real construction without song
no pomp for the peace envisioned
mountains unclimbed, borders unprotected and budgets unbalanced
who would ever have dreampt that God preexists dreams before thinking
somethings ashore and somethings offshore, some for now and some for later
ideas that are structured like material bridging through time to become
something like another poem to provide three-dimensional and more with colors
she could write, that beach, those waves that easily reach the highest mark gently surging.
-Gary C. Gibson 2007

Revisions of Judgment Day
Physicists have written that a quantum phase transition could make the Universe disappear any second as improbable as that seems. For the Creator the physics of this Universe must be transparent and wholly malleable such as modeling clay for a sculptor. Forward, backward in time, cut and pasted sections of space-time and interesting collages of creation juxtaposed to present more just and aesthetic constructions to benefit not only humanity but to resound in the harmonics of the good for-itself-who can say what God has in mind for space-time right now?
What day can be said to be the day of doom-that day was the time original sin separated mankind from God. The day of salvation occurs when one accepts Jesus Christ as their personal savior unto eternal life. Days in life cross between times in the shadow of the sun as the Earth faces away...so how many times will the Earth face away before God puts and end to the world...ten times, one-thousand, four-hundred thousand and ninety-six? It isn't likely that God is counting intervals that way especially as God is eternal or even beyond time. The day for any individual is simply being alive. One must ask will doomsday occur in one's lifetime and set aside the fact that all the important issues of eternal life and destiny with God or without occur for-oneself with complete certainty. The doomsday scenario's are a sort of bonus redundant possibility that could either bring one to eternal life without physical death or bring and end to one's life as regular destiny right then. Death is never more than a breath away for everyone of course-the entire universe could experience an unlikely quantum phase transition and wink out of existence immediately yet it hasn't so far as far as I know unless it did and God 'replugged' it back in too quick to notice. I unplugged an electric sander accidentally doing some work and had to plug it back in again and stop the sanding. Humanity hasn't yet developed the ability to unplug the Universe for-themselves.
Harold Camping has predicted the second coming of Jesus Christ for October 20th, 2011, and others vomit at the concept that anyone can know the mind of God or accurately predict the day. Well, there are bioethical and utilitarian ethical issues to examine today. Every day for the unsaved is a day of doom that can be changed only when they get into a right and saving relationship with Jesus Christ. I will write a little following about the criterion of utilitarianism and it's effects on how society is being influenced in its ethical decision making generally on issues from abortion to transhumanism, transnationalism and pharmaceutical product development. Many of these things 'doom' society toward an end of a healthy and prosperous, secure United States as greed gets the best of reason, philosophy and faith too much...
Value theory or axiology would entail utilitarianist approaches toward structuralisms of any ethical paradigm, template or 'principles' for determining right and wrong, permissibility and so on for applications purposes. Unfortunately value theory in-the-world today would largely be inertially determined in accordance with other macro-social facticities such as social organization-utilitarianism then would become a sycophantic ethical kiss up device for consumerism and corporatism. The greatest good for the greatest number would be transformed into the greatest profit for the most powerful shareholders.
There are a number of factors and actors that corrupt capitalism today, and in the corruption of capitalism whereby a pure individualistic free enterprise marketplace does not exist because of established collectivist and power oriented corruptions of the principles of capitalism the purchase of expert ethical opinions for wealthy and flim flam biomedical corporations along with tort deform to release transnational corporations from large civil damages for creating mass social negative alterity is a fact.
Because people define morality and ethics themselves unless they can find a natural law or a divine command theory, they may egress ethical values farther and farther toward the edge of social dissolution in pursuit of the profits gained by selling cures to individual problems that compile destruction for the human race as a whole. The value principle of exploiting the most unrepresented or least able to defend elements of society such as unborn children in the womb is also a time proven principle.
The principle of exploiting the weak or politically underrepresented works for the powerful. It applies even in environmental extraction industry exploitation for profits of transnational corporations at the cost of national and global interests. The value theory contents that provide the criterion in which ethical theories and principles are selected and applied is subject to the global control of corruption in high places determined inertially to exert it's own proprietary interests and that does not include undominated or unsubdued change socially.
In the United States the 2008 Presidential race is a facade of candidates without a nationalist amongst them except for Ron Paul maybe but probably not. As a Texas congressman he must be sold out right and left to transnational oil and environmental exploitation. The Unite States in pursuit of trans-national oil profits is selling out its national independence instead of transitioning with a purpose right away to independent electrical production at home for the power of electric cars. Electric cars are the sole practical way presently to liberate the nation from the self-destructive binge of fossil fuel consumption that transfers American wealth to the Muslim world. Yet not even Wal-mart has the ability to sell 1000 watt wind power generators for 300 dollars because of the corporatist value principle loyalty to oil and American dependence on trans-national power suppliers. Bioethics also tend to follow the will of the profit seekers except where two heads are grown where only one is wanted and so forth-the most extreme cases. Bioethics are found today within the value theory of corporatism or atheist collectivism rather than in utilitarianism. Utilitarianism has several problems a significant one being the meaningful paradigm for determination of what the good is.

What is the State of the Former Soviet Union?
Examining Russia political conditions for fascist drifts in real policy an practice must begin with Mr. Putin's party United Russia. United Russia is Mr. Putin's party and is conservative and centrist keeping a meaningfully close grip on political power. It controls the broadcast media to a certain extent, yet in America the FCC allocates the broadcast media mainly to trans-national corporate high bidders and the people are shut out. Russia's other three main political parties are excluded from control, yet the Duma still has a diversity of opinions including the communist party.Russia has experienced about as many casualties from terrorism during Mr. Putin's term of office as America with Mr. Bush, and their political opinions and roles don't seem that much different without being gone from official power after elections in 2008.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_parties_in_Russia
United Russia had 305 seats out of 450 in the Duma in 2005 and had a plain majority therefore. They do not seem to be like a regular fascist party at all, but more like a pragmatic and sober group of conservatives seeking to keep something of Russia together in the transition chaos of the post-cold war fall of communism. American perspectives on world politics are often unrealistic and therefor expensive and ineffective. A good example of that was the completely incompetent Bush administration unpreparedness for occupying and rebuilding post-war Iraq. Their cost estimates were wildly wrong.
The group of Muslim nations meeting in Annapolis tonight to discuss the problem of Iran and what to do about those troublesome Shi'a uphill may find some support from the Bush administration's interest in shoring up Sunni oil producing states and terrorist organizations that might attack Israel and somehow jeopardize America's reliance on imported oil at 100 dollars a barrel. Mr. Bush's policy hopefully will leave office when he does. It is possible that Mr. Putin does not desire a Wahhabist take over of Iran more than other middle-east instability or power increase for Sunni terrorism. The Shi'a of Iran for the time being at least present an alternative to Sunni hegemony over all the Muslims that Russia might politically engage with in Eurasia.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Fascism:_Tra ditions,_Tendencies,_Movements
Certainly one would like a perfect Russian society that the British would be proud of, but is that realistic for the time being? Northern free enterprise in the harsh arctic environment and essential infrastructure survival services are not easy to transition into modernity and effectiveness even in America much less Russia. How many American state complained about the price increases of energy deregulation and backed away from it in state legislatures?.
Modern Russia seems to be losing population and geography but it doesn't seem to be fascist. Sure returns the same old in-groups of the Kremlin to power for years at a time and so does the Democrat and Republican parties in Ameria with relatives shoe'd-in, and oil power interests and control of oil revenues seem to be a predominant feature of the state but does that define a fascist state?
Russia may be in a time of identity crisis with geography loss, the transition from communism and various states of mob power, new organized crime power and integration into an unstable and transitioning global economy with the United States sort of balanced on a borrowed federal debt ridden avalanche snow bridge, China and its 1.2 billion progressive polluters burgeoning o the east with an increasing military budget, high tech growing one billion plus on the southwest, a billion restive Muslims eager to blow up Moscow to demonstrate sympathy for freeing up Muslim republic affiliate of Moscow, a traditional concern about Poland and Germany on the west and other substantial issue including the remnants of the cold war missile launch potential. A loss of state authority must be a real concern for Russians today and change may be feared more than authoritarian features.
http://www.military.com/Content/MoreContent?file= SL17november
Putin has a five-year plan to cut 650,000 military personel and improve pay. Taking a cue from America's individual personnel quality increase efforts after the draft era army Mr. Putin is attempting the same. Its not a fascist trend but a realistic policy to try with 20% of the federal budget invested eventually. SImultaneously the Interior ministry loses 33,000 people and the Federal Border Service, Federal Security Service, Federal Railroad lose nearly 232,000. Mr. Putin's policies do not indicate fascism but instead a Russian history consistent modernization of society that can later permit liberalization as security isn't endangered. With corporations, communes and broadcast networks ruling the globe increasingly real individual liberalism may be more rare. So many people have a disregard for intellectualism such as political philosophy might provide to move toward a better political structure for individual liberty.
Authoritarianism is the logical conclusion of capitalism that has overcome democracy incidentally. Trans-national corporations that are inherently undemocratic tend to assert intimidating authority over democracy through influence peddling in congress and later through direct M.B.A. educated business proxies in the executive branch who appoint business loyalist justice department judges willing to acquiesce in trans-national corporate power over the democratic interests of the state. With communism being an authoritarian structure too as a sort of destination of consolidated and uncompetitive trans-national corporations through networking conglomerates and mergers why should President Putin fear any meaningful opposition from the west to his increase of Russian executive power?
President Putin may know that the west objects mainly to obstructions to leveraged trans-national takeover of Russian oil field and economic interests-maybe Exxon Mobil should offer to become Russian oil partners and Haliburton set up a second corporate headquarters in the Kremlin to match their new headquarters in Dubai. Democracy in the United States seemed to take an odd turn with the election of President Bush and the state of emergency in September 2001 that it may not recover from but will need to transition into another direction to escape instead. The 2008 election in Russia and in the United States don't seem promising-maybe Mrs. Putin will stand for the Russian Presidency.

No Real Presidential Candidates for 2008
There are no real Republican candidates in 2008 for the Presidency-not one has a genuine conservative leg to stand on at least. They are trans-nationalists seeking the international autocracies of trans-national corporate power with no interest at all in the proprietary democratic re-empowerment of the modest American republic of the founders dreams.
Capitalism leads to autocracy like its autocratic corporate models when it subverts democracy. Corporatists jealously attack from their incestuous conglomerate trans-national feudal realms monopolistic authoritarian state communism, and believe that autocratic corporate feudalism is democratic so long as four or five conglomerates or zaibatsu exist to challenge communist totalitarianism. It is autocratic totalitarianism that trans-national corporatism leads to however-especially as it unifies with Chinese communism.
Duncan Hunter is the best verisimilitude of political reality Republican pseudo-conservative able to think on his feet, used to an intense Southern California social environment with a real time ability to improvise and yet patient enough to survive the onslaught of ineloquent and maladroit apprehension of his attention with a smile. Hunter hasn't a chance of getting the nomination. Golden tablets found in New York favor auspices and signs for a candidate from New York to win. Political astrologers note the confluence of moron-knee favored candidates in 2008. The American right will probably ignore Duncan Hunter as the Democrat Party is ignoring John Edwards; the only true Democratic nationalist of the top tiers of the left. Hillary Clinton and her husband Bill may be seeking a global imperium with Hilary as Empress. After thrice being Governor of Arkansas and then elected to the White House the Clintons gave Arkansas the 'we emit gases happily in you general direction with satisfying sounds' thanks and moved to New York state to afford a better political base camp for the ascent up to global imperium. The United States is perhaps disposable too for the Clintons as for them "It takes a (global-my interpolation) Village" of idiots for us to become rulers of the village.
Can any of the Republican candidates write haiku such as this about cross purposes...
Orange fall broke mankind
so dead climb crucified not
water of resurrection
Or are they unimaginative followers of transnational corporations termiting away the rotten door border security of the United States? Nationalists have a rational side to their capitalism-they don't give away the store when doing business internationally. Republican candidates must convince the public that they care a about the U.S.A. enough that they will support a strong democracy that seeks the advantage of its citizens before that of any international interests.
Duncan Hunter is the sole neo-realist candidate interested in U.S. national interest as was Ronald Regan before him. Hunter can be the President without betraying the nation in preference for transnational corporations. A french inventor has made a car run on compressed air that with an auxiliary gas motor gets 3000 miles per gallon. Along with solar and wind and home fuel cell recharged electric cars their are a number of alternative power commuter vehicles available but what candidate is advocating a variegated fleet approach to U.S. energy independence? At least Hunter is from California-the alternate energy innovation state. Conservatism it should be remembered doesn't just mean dumb or dependent on fossil fuels for polluting the air and creating vast national trade deficits.
The filthy rich GQ role model guy with maybe a quarter billion dollars in trans-national corporate investments more or less from Massachusetts is a sort of inherited wealth stuffed suit seeking to enrich trans-national corporations and his own personal business interests as a corporate consultant, Mayor Rudy J is over promoted by disaster, while the endurable and faithful Senator McCain is just wrong headed on at least two major issues and approaches to international relations perhaps from being beaten around in captivity. At least someone will rep[lace the bushes but after sixteen years of Clintons and Bushes already the nation may be incapable of selecting good candidates in the primaries-I am not at all optimistic.
Capitalism leads to autocracy like its autocratic corporate models when it subverts democracy. Corporatists jealously attack from their incestuous conglomerate trans-national feudal realms monopolistic authoritarian state communism, and believe that autocratic corporate feudalism is democratic so long as four or five conglomerates or zaibatsu exist to challenge communist totalitarianism. It is autocratic totalitarianism that trans-national corporatism leads to however-especially as it unifies with Chinese communism.

On the modern state of exile; what does it mean?
Exile is another tool of political attack through other means and a prerogative of political power.
Exile in the world today has gone far beyond the traditional meaning of the term, and what was that you might ask? Russia is a society with a solid tradition of internal and external exile practiced even today. Last year a former Russian spy in exile Alexander Litvinenko who had said that President Putin was a pedophile was poisoned to death by thallium in a London restaurant-and it wasn't on any menu except perhaps one at the Kremlin. Litvineko formerly was employed by a later Russian exiled billionaire Boris Berezovsky, as a security officer.
Usually Russian writers like Radischev were sent into exile for failing to please state censors. Radischev suicided the second time he was sentenced to Siberia. The author of 'A Journey from Petersburg to Moscow' found Catherine the Great's proscriptions on his works unbearable and hoped the sin of self-exile from life was forgivable. Sometimes Russian politicians have experienced exile when it was politically incorrect to have them murdered. Stalin sent his rival Trotsky into internal exile first before sending him out of Russia eventually to be assassinated in Mexico City in the midst of writing his biography of Stalin.
Georgi Markov a Bulgarian dissident was poisoned in London in 1978.
Then Ukranian political opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko ingested large amounts of the most toxic dioxin known YCDD during a campaign for President against Mr. Putin's favorite; Viktor Yanukovych. Trans-national illegal activities by state authorities is another fruitful area of interest controlled mainly by certain undemocratic elite balancing equations.
Studies have been made on the transnational expulsion of entire peoples trans-nationally into exile such as this workshop at Rutgers University in 2002...http://www- 2005.rhul.ac.uk/Music/Golden-pages /Conferences/02-5-eme.html
Entire peoples may go into political exile without a right of return to their own nation. Exile is also a traditional place to plot a revolution in the exiling country for the exiled. One thinks of Afghan rebels, the Ayatollah Khomeini and Iraqi dissidents against Saddam Hussein as examples of rebels that have plotted revolution. The Palestinian exile refugee camp gangsters that transitioned through terror into the Palestinian Government are additional examples of political exiles and trans-national activity in exile.
Trans-national broadcast corporations themselves have the opportunity to flank national civil rights and attack political targets from over-the-border rebroadcast though affiliates into the relevant nation was legal deniability as simply a 'quote with spin on it'. National democracy with sound civil rights is the primary bulwark against trans-national predations on private citizens.
Modern global communications and travel technology has made physical exile somewhat anachronistic now; what is more important in exiling today is deletion of the individual or group from power and additional ad hoc ostracism. In the power group relationship of us versus them the targeted individual is moved from the us side to the them side-sometimes that is fatal, sometimes it means house arrest, other times some may escape over the border yet few political entities will permit political opponents more liberty than they must in relation to the natural cruelty or political necessity of the regime in power.
It is illustrative of the conditional use of the term exile today to compare Bin Ladin in possible clandestine 'exile' in Pakistan from terrorist bases in Afghanistan after the removal of the Taliban regime in the 2002 Afghan war with that of self-imposed-exile to avoid legal processes by political rivals former Prime Minister Bhutto of Pakistan accused of crimes in office by succeeding P.M./Junta leaders. It is convenient for political opponents to be removed as part of a deal for control by the new military governments on occasion. Exile's purposes haven't changed; just the technology, geographical and social relationships have. The broadcast media of any nation, and the ad hoc trans-national undemocratic broadcast 'empire' represent an ad hoc consortium of trans-national authoritarians (corporations are naturally opposed to democracy for-themselves and support it in nations only so far as it supports corporate increase politically and financially) that may afford no where within global broadcast network 'territory' for escape to exile. Exile may mean an escape to a social sub-class or removal from certain power centers. Exile may mean simply agreeing to a non-competition 'contract' with the establishment for some period of time or for a lifetime. In that way there are a variety of informal exile procedures, many illegal of course, in effect in the world today. Exile today, like American declarations of war, seldom reach the formality of legal proceeding, instead they are carried out through informal and effective adverse processes that enable removal from the protected compresence of political or social power and promotion.
Former Pakistani P.M. Nawaz Sharif was sent into exile, yet in the 1960s hundreds of thousands of Pakistanis and Hindus became refugees in exile as a process of formation after the cleansing. Social ethnic cleansing creating refugees in exile occurred in the former Yugoslavia during the 90s Balkin wars and is happening presently in Iraq as Shi'a and Sunni conflict in the wake of the removal of Saddam Hussein's government by the 2003 American led invasion. Thousands of Iraq's of each side have been killed by sectarian and terrorist forces while hundreds of thousands have gone into voluntary exile abroad for safety.
In exile today it may be convenient to conceal the term exile in order to deny that exiles occur. Exile may be enforced by structuring natural class conditions such that making a politically incorrect decision results in instant disqualification from residence. Perhaps it might be as trivial as building a fence taller than one permitted by a homeowners association causing an eventual expulsion from subdivision paradise, or removal from a social set when a proscribed set characteristic is found- Exile can be a self-exiling process in non-conformity to the established power. It is a perennial political device in that regard but the conditions of its applications have evolved and shall continue to do so until the unsaved are exiled forever to hell metaphorically speaking.

Camping's end-of the world prediction & volcanism
I learned something else about Harold Camping's day the rapture happens and end of the world formulas for 2001, and why 22 Russians abandoned their village and went to live in a remote mine-shaft cave because they believe the world ends next May. I'll write a little about the most prevalent current active end-of-the-world prediction broadcast widely.
Camping thinks the Biblical flood happened in the year 4911 B.C. and with some other calculating finds May 21st the day of rapture and beginning of five months of hell on Earth before its destruction on October 20th. The Russians might be old believers that have made similar calculations on the old calender.
In Quincy Washington where I grew up the whole region is called the channeled scabland for all of the tremendous volcanic flows that happened there 15 million years ago and Bonneville flood much more recently.
http://www.whitman.edu/geology/LocalGeo.html
A tremendous rift opened in the Earth's crust and lava and sulphur dioxide poured out for years creating a darkening of the Earth's skies and causing one of the five great mass extinctions in world history. The end times Biblical scenarios of tremendous earthquakes and a darkening of the skies have a somewhat similar account of the apocalypse. I think that interesting.
No I don't have confidence in end-of-the world predictions, yet there probably was a local flood that covered the 'world' of the lowlands of ancient Iraq about 5000 b.c., and there was another great volcanic rift in the crust in India's Deccan rift. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deccan_Traps that lasted maybe 30,000 years around 60 million years before present.
The hot spot in the Earth's mantle that caused the volcanism in Eastern Washington is not under Yellowstone Park (the Earth's crust in the North American plate is drifting slowly east). Old faithful has been irregular lately, and maybe human faith too-perhaps another volcanic rift will start in 2011 with five months of darkening skies and sulphur dioxide build-up until everyone is extinct-who knows? The rapture sounds good anyway.
So much for analysis of the theory-I am not very technical on the subject.

After the binge of turkey and tryptophan
Well, one could especially consider thanksgiving as an end and a beginning at which time people eat stuffed turkeys and become somulent because of the tryptophan in the meat of the bird that brings on drowsiness.
Like those turkeys people are somewhat stuffed with a lot of meat that perishes with age and things seem to go wrong by stages, and then one realizes that even the bones aren't that durable or eternal and perish, and thus Solomon noted that all is vanity and people perish like blades of grass. So, since that is the way it is one needs to write aesthetic poems about beautiful sunsets and clear, bright sunrises and ocean waves curling and breaking with millions of beautiful refracted sounds and such as infinite reflections of light in the waters that strike the eyes and realize that time is temporal (that's really redundant) and is physical particles or phenomena running from less disorder to more including complex disorder.
Time is evidently a dimension like space that goes in a particular direction, and its good for people that they change through aging as the dimension moves on or they would be stranded in time apart from it and the things it has for live ones that God reiterates a billion times better in the post-time eternity of all that very strange concatenation of everything possible all at once and infinitely too without limits of space or time.

Macro-economic drifts toward transnational oligharchy
Are we certain that a pure capitalism and free market applies in practice? Von Mises speculated that even if capitalism consolidated into one global corporation it would break up and become competitive I think. Competition is the nature of business some believe but is the consolidation of market elements by globalists in effect purchasing the global economy with accumulated capital advantage not a process of more than theory at work but instead a vicious historical phase of elimination of competition and movement toward global oligarchy and authoritarianism? Corporatist collectivism is an actual possible way of structuring a non-individual work base mass social business structure where promotion is upon attributes regarded as exploitable by others rather than through promotion of one-self by oneself for -oneself through work and initiative. A mass attribute based social structure is a less than optimal social development and instead created as phased array repressive society crushing intelligence and individual rights without concern as the market axiology is based on the value structures of individualism and individual civil rights.
Some of the terminology of macro-economic models that of macro-physics conventionally and needlessly perhaps, for one scientific lexicon of what comprises analogies may be as good as another. 'Force' is a prevalent term from physics used to account for essential observable causative or associated phenonemalities empirically. If force is a concept used in physics it must be good for economics explanations too then? Consumers have imperfect knowledge of course of material needs except for those most pressingly in need of relief such as a glass of pure, cool water, a warm blanket, freedom from tyranny and so forth-the destruction or mal-wearization of environmental abuse agents of biospheric corruption may also supply the material remedies to extreme individual material privations in some instances and 'market forces' might be better applied to 'political forces' to bring social compliance from targeted groups. Can it be fairly said alternatively that if some social environments provide consumers equivalently situated as to be like flowers awaiting pollination that they are being 'forced' by the market, or that they are 'marketing' at all? Individual actualization in a society would need a political economy that meets individual needs and leaves the remainder of time for individual constructions of projects and inventions as well as family interests-a macro-economic structure that is totalitarian would deny the political shaping of the economic production and allocation technology to such a direction that would liberate the individual to pursue free enterprise in the most optimal ways and instead subjugate 'consumers' to a cycle of work, debt and servitude for the benefit of oppressor classes of 'force'. It might also be said that the macro-economic flow models are of an anational basis such as one in biology might observe the dissemination of a virus globally without preference for individual interests. That implicit economic betrayal is a fundamental corruption of Adam Smith's cognition about economics serving a polity rather than a polity inducted into a detached, existential economic control by powerful, mysterious 'forces' known best by macro-economic astrologers.
Market forces in a totalitarian global environment are not free but are co-opted into selections of products that must be made as one has not got the option of moving to the frontier and leaving the economic territory when the frontier exists only with the total control of trans-national corporations and communes controlling local governments. Market forces are dictated in effect by the established owning class that decrees the inertial continuity of its own class interests in owning everything-one would find an even worse actualization of that phenomena in the communist party 'ownership' of the factories and government in the former Soviet Union. Unfortunately the cold war generated a stagnation in the development of western economic theory such that corporations were elevated to an undeserved theoretical prominence and held as the sole alternative to communist collectivism; thus corporations developed in the global communications era into a corporate collectivism that hasn't run its course yet with the board members as the communist elite and the workers as the proletariat supporting an ad hoc non-commissioned officer shareholder class.
There is still a lot of contingent free market enterprise in the world today but the inertia of established infrastructure prevents mass social changes or sales of products that would change mass systemic structures in America for example. An effective electric vehicle platform for 100 dollars with solar panels and thin film quick recharge batteries would put millions out of work and undermine profits of corporations. Not even Wal-mart will sell low cost wind power generators or solar panels for home use because the corporate trick is to keep everyone dependent on oil and global power supply as long as possible. Electric no-water use toilets would conserve water but undermine municipal waste structures and treatment investments.
Capitalism is supposed to function on a positive basis by creating product development investments, but in a totalitarian geographical social environment capital may be gained by the corrupt too much repressing individual enterprise, privacy and depressing the quality of life in order to prevent competition. In a totalitarian political territory the ideals of free competition in a capitalist economic structure do not have a matching political structure. Business takes over politics. In America a Mitt Romney with his Harvard MBA may follow President Bush with his to enrich a different group of globalist investors while national interests comparatively decline. Adam Smith believed that capitalism should augment a democracy not replace it yet corporatists are too willing to do that today unaware that democracy must be protected for-itself as well as a nation and quality of life for citizens.
Historically the issues aren't new. Isolation isn't the remedy but a M.I.T.I. like analysis of how to invent new businesses that will reduce trade deficits and liberate the people from personal debt is a way to move government. I will provide some philosophical background on the most general analysis of state structures by considering Socrates and Plato.
Socrates was given the hemlock to drink and put to death by the Athenian State-not Plato. Plato is said by some to be the greatest philosopher ever, yet he isn't known to have written anything about himself at all...he wrote the Republic, The Meno and all the other books with Socrates as the philosopher credited with saying all the philosophically leading content. It was Plato that established the Academy that instructed in philosophy (alethia) and carried on the tradition.
Socrates believed in God and Plato did as well by inference. The God they believed in was the One that the neo Platonist Plotinus wrote about six or seven hundred years later. Plato developed the complex idea of the realm of forms, and other people writing that I have read have pointed out that Parmenides is credited with starting the thought paradigms that Plato later developed as the metaphysical aspects of the realm of forms that was again more fully developed by Plotinus. Parmenides was a pre-Socratic philosopher worth checking out with a google search.
Socrates was accused of corrupting youth by instructing them in philosophical method and critical thinking about politics and everything else regarding opinion, or theory of knowledge (epistemology). He had the option to leave Athens and live in exile but choose not to but instead to perish saying that the state had nurtured him and he would accept their judgment. The Athenian state compared to the modern state in America was a very simple democracy. There had been an oligarchy that did not trust the demos or populus. Today in the U.S.A. tran-national corporate interests and over influence nationally by a globally owned broadcast media have corrupted and obfuscated the democracy in the United States and brought it close to the corporate collectivism envisioned by Mussolini, helped in by Henry Ford and Adolph Hitler, admired as a fulfillment of Marxist worldly economic dialects and an ephemeral, stagnating uncreative entity that morphs too easily into decline and fall, war, chaos and autocratic rule even by a special central committee.
Plato and Socrates had it easy comparatively in contemplating the ideal state. Today Americans must decide for themselves if a nation is worth having, if capitalism is pure or corrupted by mob control, if capitalism is the highest possible progress in economic actualization for individual interests or if new economic systems supported by federal policy could be invented and so forth. The founders were for national interests before transnational interests, and even Plato wrote about the Republic as one state-the Romans did well with that until they became a trans-national empire too diverse for coherence as subverted by a plethora of problems and pleasures.
Some of the terminology of macro-economic models that of macro-physics conventionally and needlessly perhaps, for one scientific lexicon of what comprises analogies may be as good as another. 'Force' is a prevalent term from physics used to account for essential observable causative or associated phenonemalities empirically. If force is a concept used in physics it must be good for economics explanations too then? Consumers have imperfect knowledge of course of material needs except for those most pressingly in need of relief such as a glass of pure, cool water, a warm blanket, freedom from tyranny and so forth-the destruction or mal-wearization of environmental abuse agents of biospheric corruption may also supply the material remedies to extreme individual material privations in some instances and 'market forces' might be better applied to 'political forces' to bring social compliance from targeted groups. Can it be fairly said alternatively that if some social environments provide consumers equivalently situated as to be like flowers awaiting pollination that they are being 'forced' by the market, or that they are 'marketing' at all? Individual actualization in a society would need a political economy that meets individual needs and leaves the remainder of time for individual constructions of projects and inventions as well as family interests-a macro-economic structure that is totalitarian would deny the political shaping of the economic production and allocation technology to such a direction that would liberate the individual to pursue free enterprise in the most optimal ways and instead subjugate 'consumers' to a cycle of work, debt and servitude for the benefit of oppressor classes of 'force'. It might also be said that the macro-economic flow models are of an anational basis such as one in biology might observe the dissemination of a virus globally without preference for individual interests. That implicit economic betrayal is a fundamental corruption of Adam Smith's cognition about economics serving a polity rather than a polity inducted into a detached, existential economic control by powerful, mysterious 'forces' known best by macro-economic astrologers.
Market forces in a totalitarian global environment are not free but are co-opted into selections of products that must be made as one has not got the option of moving to the frontier and leaving the economic territory when the frontier exists only with the total control of trans-national corporations and communes controlling local governments. Market forces are dictated in effect by the established owning class that decrees the inertial continuity of its own class interests in owning everything-one would find an even worse actualization of that phenomena in the communist party 'ownership' of the factories and government in the former Soviet Union. Unfortunately the cold war generated a stagnation in the development of western economic theory such that corporations were elevated to an undeserved theoretical prominence and held as the sole alternative to communist collectivism; thus corporations developed in the global communications era into a corporate collectivism that hasn't run its course yet with the board members as the communist elite and the workers as the proletariat supporting an ad hoc non-commissioned officer shareholder class.
There is still a lot of contingent free market enterprise in the world today but the inertia of established infrastructure prevents mass social changes or sales of products that would change mass systemic structures in America for example. An effective electric vehicle platform for 100 dollars with solar panels and thin film quick recharge batteries would put millions out of work and undermine profits of corporations. Not even Wal-mart will sell low cost wind power generators or solar panels for home use because the corporate trick is to keep everyone dependent on oil and global power supply as long as possible. Electric no-water use toilets would conserve water but undermine municipal waste structures and treatment investments.
Capitalism is supposed to function on a positive basis by creating product development investments, but in a totalitarian geographical social environment capital may be gained by the corrupt too much repressing individual enterprise, privacy and depressing the quality of life in order to prevent competition. In a totalitarian political territory the ideals of free competition in a capitalist economic structure do not have a matching political structure. Business takes over politics. In America a Mitt Romney with his Harvard MBA may follow President Bush with his to enrich a different group of globalist investors while national interests comparatively decline. Adam Smith believed that capitalism should augment a democracy not replace it yet corporatists are too willing to do that today unaware that democracy must be protected for-itself as well as a nation and quality of life for citizens.
Historically the issues aren't new. Isolation isn't the remedy but a M.I.T.I. like analysis of how to invent new businesses that will reduce trade deficits and liberate the people from personal debt is a way to move government. I will provide some philosophical background on the most general analysis of state structures by considering Socrates and Plato.
Socrates was given the hemlock to drink and put to death by the Athenian State-not Plato. Plato is said by some to be the greatest philosopher ever, yet he isn't known to have written anything about himself at all...he wrote the Republic, The Meno and all the other books with Socrates as the philosopher credited with saying all the philosophically leading content. It was Plato that established the Academy that instructed in philosophy (alethia) and carried on the tradition.
Socrates believed in God and Plato did as well by inference. The God they believed in was the One that the neo Platonist Plotinus wrote about six or seven hundred years later. Plato developed the complex idea of the realm of forms, and other people writing that I have read have pointed out that Parmenides is credited with starting the thought paradigms that Plato later developed as the metaphysical aspects of the realm of forms that was again more fully developed by Plotinus. Parmenides was a pre-Socratic philosopher worth checking out with a google search.
Socrates was accused of corrupting youth by instructing them in philosophical method and critical thinking about politics and everything else regarding opinion, or theory of knowledge (epistemology). He had the option to leave Athens and live in exile but choose not to but instead to perish saying that the state had nurtured him and he would accept their judgment. The Athenian state compared to the modern state in America was a very simple democracy. There had been an oligarchy that did not trust the demos or populus. Today in the U.S.A. tran-national corporate interests and over influence nationally by a globally owned broadcast media have corrupted and obfuscated the democracy in the United States and brought it close to the corporate collectivism envisioned by Mussolini, helped in by Henry Ford and Adolph Hitler, admired as a fulfillment of Marxist worldly economic dialects and an ephemeral, stagnating uncreative entity that morphs too easily into decline and fall, war, chaos and autocratic rule even by a special central committee.
