Geothermal power draws upon the extreme heat from the interior of the Earth for energy that could be 3000 to 5000 degrees Celsius. States such as Alaska and California could supply one hundred percent of their electrical power needs from construction of advanced geothermal power stations below the surface of the Earth.
The United States of America had 3,086 megawatts of geothermal power capacity in 2010, the potential power is far higher.
Extending unemployment benefits until the November election, a catastrophic Gulf of Mexico oil wellhead rupture that flows on for months, decades of millions of illegal aliens entering the U.S.A. from Mexico, twin foreign extraction industry resource wars that cost trillions running on for a decade in Iraq and Afghanistan—these are discouraging facts that make the packing of the U.S. Supreme Court with the Harvard Alumni Association pale in comparison. We find Federal incompetence discouraging. Geothermal power is one way the government could do something right theoretically.
Mining and drilling techniques are easily capable of reaching very hot temperatures two or three miles down. Instead of relying upon natural geothermal vent extrusions to the planetary surface, public utilities could employ mining and energy engineers to design deep tunnel water and air heating systems to convert seawater into steam for power turbines, or in Alaska to power large wind generators placed in tunnels exploiting loop circuits of wind created by the temperature differences between the old outside air temperature and the very hot temperature deep below the Earth. Needless to say, the air would be completely renormalized to the ambient air temperature before release in order not to add to global warming.
The interior of the Earth is several thousand degrees in temperature, and with careful design hundreds of miles of hot water and steam or hot air tunnels could be built to provide environmentally clean energy of a renewable kind. Such structures might also be used to desalinate seawater in California.
One should encourage the governments that are inactive presently in pursuit of a mass exploitation of safe structures of geothermal power (not inclined to create avenues of extrusions for volcanism) to do so. It is a reasonable domestic energy source available with some work, energy and investment of intention for national energy independence.

On Western Religion and Science/History
I consider science to be less than philosophical today, unlike in the era of the enlightenment. String theory has predominated for about thirty years, and writers such as Woit and Smolin have been critical about the sociology of science of recent times. This global corporate era demands conformity and immorality upon all including scientists-individual thought is rather derided and pure materialism along with crass social power over 'the small people' is demanded.
I had some ideas about parameters of cosmology that fit a little with philosophy. Philosophical thought about cosmology today may be a way of thinking about making selections amidst a zillion theories and considering how each might select ontology, world-view, teleology, significance , meaning and so forth.
This is an example of a cosmological concern.
Double Special Relativity I and II are newer ways of applying the special theory of relativity. There may be a minimum constant as well as a maximum constant (the speed of light). I am not very knowledgeable about either, yet with a minimum and maximum scale relativity takes on a different context not just physically,but philosophically.
I simply wonder about the phenomena of existence as a circumstance given by God, with the backdrop of theories about construction of the universe.
My hope is that in some future insight I will have a better idea of how relativity theory parameters cohere with a construction of one-dimensional units underlying everything--especially if there are minimum planck length constants that would seem necessarily to be at least one-direction limits rather than isotropic. We can infer that fact at least with the speed of light, since cosmologists speculate that faster than light inflation of the universe occurred at Time=O. The accelleration may have been infinite to start with for a fraction of a second until decellerating to sub-light speed--and that must have been a heck of a jolt for any passengers on board.
So what about religion and science? Religion is about transcendent affairs with a requirement for a little metaphysical faith. Science may exploit intuition for a fell swoop conceptualization of the unknown aspects of universal phenomena, yet that is a dissimilar activity from general religious activity, and of course we cannot reasonably lump together all varieties of religious experience.
Science is specialized while philosophy is generalized. Specialized data may support general theory, yet generalities are not as readily falsifiable as are special theories. Religions may represent immanent and transcending categories of meaning and fact irreducible to testable hypotheses.
It is worth considering that the French revolution was against an old regime that included conservative church property holding more like feudalism and aristocracy possessions than not. The political and social history of society is different than the consideration of the veracity of particular concepts of religion--of the truth of Jesus Christ in particular.
Jesus Christ in the parable of the sower explains to a crowd about receiving the word of God, and if the meaning 'sticks'. Then His disciple asked him what the parable meant. Jesus explained that he spoke in parables in order that those listening might not understand, and then explained the parable to the disciples. Our Lord seemed somewhat sarcastic I think, as he was talking to the dolts (strikethrough that), the 'small people' who are human beings without an oil company free to pollute the oceans. Two thousand years of retrospect and somewhat more comfortable circumstances make The Lord's brevity and clarification appear strikingly effective.
Jesus explained the meaning of the parable to the disciple completely. Providing the correct level of implicit meaning to mortal man at the right intellectual level must have been a little challenging,or at least it would have been for a human instructor.
Elements of the historical evolution of science through the enlightenment toward a different time paradigm than that held by the ancien regime and their co-religionists of conservative catholicism of the era may be considered. Science and democratic politics sought an objective or perhaps 'fair' social basis without special privilege for hereditary classes or beliefs. Thus the heritage of bias against religion by scientists associated with the overturning of pre-revolutionary political circumstances developed an atheistic inertia for-itself. Delimiting right realms of civil rights for the new social boundaries of individualism would be difficult and continue to the present era when homosexual efforts for hegemony over heterosexual institutions would overturn natural reason for itself in an effort to make the helium reverse radiation to yield hydrogen or deuterium in effect--neither the direction of time nor the nature of sexuality as isotropic in structural composition.
The land holdings and sociological facts of that time and since have little or no relationship to the objective nature of the truth of the Bible or of objective enquires of reason. Yet that point was one of the main points such as Rousseau and Kant held that differed with the three classes of pre-revolutionary French society.
The authority of royalty was held to be absolute, and the commoners were considered blessed to be ignorant and encouraged to remain so. The oppression of would be authorities can be extreme. The will to power may be intense and pervasive as minorities express the desire to rule without consent as many subjects as they may acquire.

Democrats Reformed Health Care For The Advantage Of Economic Insiders
The national health care structure foisted upon the nation in March of this year seemingly created a gerrymandering of implicitly biased health care convolutions structured to strip the poor of health care coverage. With a patchwork of health coverage systems varying in differing states and localities, the poor struggling worker moving across state lines in search of work to afford food, boots and books finds that he not only is ineligible for a local library card as a homeless person, but that the Oregon, Washington or California health care coverage is designed to be as intransigent as the legal bar requirements for an attorney to practice law has placed the invisible shield of proprietary advantage against him. The health care systems of the states are designed to serve advantaged local citizens. The poor are lint or trash largely excluded from the establishment eligibility of the advantaged. The Roman Empire in France made the same kinds of errors during its decadent phase in making its Transalpine Gaul haciendas comfort zones disregarding the external reality of things. The Romans had of course many servants from the internal proletariat.
The poor may find themselves in today’s urban-suburban interface to have few avenues of egress for avoiding the concentrating snares of control placed by advantaged economic insiders. If the poor are not welcome inside the economy they are inevitable processed out through a variety of means including overlapping modalities of concentration, labeling and eventual deletion.
In the Alaska city of Anchorage this year several poor homeless people living in the city’s abundant semi-wild parks froze to death. The compassionate conservativism of the Mayor and city responded by making camping in city parks illegal. During cold late winter weather the poor in homeless camps were given four hours notice before their belongings were seized and destroyed. Because of an A.C.L.U. lawsuit, the notice requirement before eviction was raised up to two weeks more or less. The poor are not simply inebriates though. In a city such as Anchorage with the totalization of theoretical places a poor or broke worker might physically exist to sleep limited to zero places legally outside of concentrating facilities downtown in a very deleterious environment regarding personal privacy, the advantaged have again created structures anisotropically to their own advantage and total power.
The body of an unidentified individual was reported to have been found today someplace in the city of Anchorage’s cardboard recycling facility. It is quite likely that after the homeless camps were raised, ostensibly so they would not freeze to death, that some homeless person sought in vain for new cardboard to build a new survival shelter before the cold overtook his life. Such configurations of public policy to the advantage of economic insiders and non-service to the poor force the poor to fall though the gaps of a health care system designed for the middle class and wealthy.
The poor may be homeless and travel to find employment—often temporary. The poor may comprise a de facto caste system element in America finding that the advantaged consistently deny the opportunity for employment security. Social traits of aggression and dishonesty of such advantage in today’s entry-level corporate world may be characteristics lacking in many of the poor. The health care system is another deficit producing utility for the advantaged, while the poor must even barter property if they have it to afford to pay for basic work-related injuries.
The advantaged in the Boston-Harvard-DC axis of iniquity have forced a corrupt leavening of homosexuality upon many corporate and Internet employment paradigms to cull those opinions of dissent. The Harvard-DC concepts of health care allow illegal immigrants from Mexico admission to the United States to take jobs away from the nation’s poor workers. The Boston-Harvard-DC axis of iniquity invariably caves in to economically advantaged pleas to let in illegal workers to ‘do the jobs Americans won’t. Such iniquity allows the perennial destruction of labor scarcity and better employment prospects for the nation’s poor as a surfeit of Mexicans trample over the labor side of the labor-employer wage negotiation value relation.
The poor of the United States thus remain career outsiders in a caste system created by the political economy of the advantaged insiders of the Harvard-Boston-DC axis of iniquity sucking up to corporate globalism, outsourcing of jobs, insourcing of illegal aliens and totalization of the urban-suburban cores of the nation along with electronic control of health records, police records, charity records and employment records. Like a game of musical chairs in which the poor are perennial losers, the insiders also do not acquire labels of disadvantage as they sit as insiders comfortably in adequately compensated positions. Time passes.
What the axis of iniquity should have done was to create a national health service for the poor that are not of retirement age. To keep costs down that service would provide just basic medical services such as might result from on-the-job injuries. Basic treatment such as repair of broken legs, hernias, head injuries, infected blisters and so forth are easy to diagnose and correct. Nation wide health services for the poor on a rational, measured basis would cover the vast majority of medical services required. Catastrophic injuries or illnesses of the poor not of Medicare coverage age would need directed toward different solutions and would require alternative public policy innovations.
If medical coverage of perhaps the poorest 10% of Americans could be delivered at low cost-even if the coverage isn’t for everything but just perhaps 80% of medical problems the poor experience, it would be much better and cost effective than the ongoing development of an implicitly biased health care and social structure determined to destroy individualism and inhumanize the poor in order that the advantaged might receive better reports from their manager; Satan.

Colorado Flees to Join Pac-10, Other Mid-West and Atlantic States May Follow
I am somewhat amazed by the decision of Colorado to join the Pac-10, yet Americans are famously bad at geography. Texas, Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Oklahoma State and Oklahoma may also move to the west coast or the Pacific 10 league.
The Pac 10 leadership has failed to bring in Miami (of Florida). That would be a good recruiting prospect as more mid-continent and Atlantic states want to get as far away as possible from deficit spending policies of the East Coast (by default) at Washington D.C., or the BP oil infusion of the Gulf of Mexico.
The trouble began when Arizona and Arizona State were allowed to join the Pac-8 several years ago. The federal government has since allowed Arizona to be flooded by illegal Mexican citizens, as well as Texas and Oklahoma--how could those state's Universities not want to move to the left coast (viewed from Mexico)?
Alaska and British Columbia are also good states or provinces some distance removed from the District of Columbia. Sheldon Jackson College (closed a few years ago) at Sitka Alaska is still for sale as an Iowa University decided to opt out of making a purchase. Some of these ocean-challenged mid-American colleges may decide to buy into the Alaska league or even the International league for football travel locations.
Reasonably, the Dallas Cowboys should not be in the NFC East, but in a Mid-American league that also rightly should include schools such as Colorado, alternatively a mostly landlocked southern and mid-American league might be formed profitably with Arizona, Texas and Oklahoma and Colorado if they could be induced move away from the Pacific league.

On the Corrupt Foreign & Domestic Policy of the U.S. Government
The United States Government provides a special lack of leadership for world development toward a more utopian rather than dystopian direction. Yes special race mobility across borders and political power lines may be crossed, and of course gender lines transcended too in more ways than one, yet can we say that the United States isn't just becoming traditionally decadent?
While NPR and employed federal politicians are happier than flies in manure with foreign wars and pathos to report on, could alternative and intelligent directions be taken besides interminable nation building ala the Republic of Vietnam? Can the U.S. Government really be so stupid as to repeat that recent historical failure (yes!)? Would it really spend billions and billions to create a perennial civil war in a Muslim country so braggart pilots and drone bombers can have something to target? Does the Ivy League and yuppie artificial point of view require poor people always to blast to help or in Boston just confiscate earnings so homosexuals can wear the uniform in Gay Pride Parades?
The axes of human original sin take special weapons development to extremes. World competition to produce the best teams in sports or weapons developments globally requires individuals to dump blasts upon. Fortunately the original Al Qa'eda bargain basement box cutter assault squad has helped the rich find a way to spend an anticipated future public debt of 10 to 13 trillion dollars in perennial defense against the uncertain terrorist cells that are really training in today's foreign universities and perhaps Harvard as well.
For one dollar a foreign terrorist designer genius can buy a nice college ruled notebook and write up a hundred excellent terrorist mission procedures against U.S. targets. The designer can write up ten or a hundred such notebooks, distribute them to independent, unaffilliated cells and then retire from terrorism to resume work as a PhD in some corporation or government agency. The United States can respond to the first successful terrorist mission with another trillion or two of conventional military spending, and further transfer wealth to foreign corporations while American are given public debt owned by the Chinese Communist Party, Japan, Europeans, India and God knows who else.
The U.S. Government can make a second or third world nation out of the working class and poor, yet flood the nation with illegal aliens to keep wages down and cheap profits for corporations up. Then again, the 'defense' industry can produce a cornucopia of new weapons systems to use against poor people and rebellious working class people in first world nations eventually such as the U.S.A. should the people become restive with the foreign investments instead of national development. The U.S. Government and corporatist supervisors can keep a balance in weapons development such that no new technology dominates and revolutionizes the entire weapons manufacturing industry harmfully.
If a myriad new floating, stealthy, invisible air-to-air floating anti-aircraft platforms wear created to fire comparatively cheap rockets at very expensive aircraft for total air denial--that would be harmfully to the 50 million dollar and up fighter plane industry. If poor nations were able to afford high quality, cheap, anti-personnel robotic or remote control 'suicide' bomber platforms able to stalk soldiers, infiltrate bases and neutralize the effectiveness of many contemporary military concept structures, that just would be right would it? So the poor rather than the prosperous must always be the targets of the U.S. Government in unnecessary foreign engagements. The corrupt must rule those military juntas willing to play the role of democratic heroes, and religions that descry homosexual Defense establishment must be co-opted if the U.S. Government is to form a genuine global, depraved evil empire.
Well, it might not be that bad. The U.S. Government if destroyed could be replaced by one without a history of moving for depravity, treason, environmental corruption and disregard for human decency, security and individual rights. Yet that fiction scenario is unlikely to occur, and so those Americans that wish for a different approach to foreign and domestic policy built more on armed neutrality, strongly enforced border defense, ecological recovery, elimination of public debt and secure jobs with a minimum income for all U.S. citizens will need to look elsewhere than for the bolt of Thor to hurl vaporization upon the clave of corporate and federal bureaucrats from on high.
Perennial war upon the world's poor is a bad U.S. federal habit. National defense against terrorists can be accomplished with better spook and security work domestically and abroad. Investments in both U.S. ecological economics and full employment procedures at home and abroad would be a far better policy than the idiot media entertainment dullard's perpetuation of foreign government sponsorship. The U.S. Government cannot even do a competent job in the U.S.A.--how can nit hope to do so in central Asia? AS soon as the borrowed money reallocation is stopped, the more usual states of affairs will return. The U.S. Government could have de frapped the Taliban's tolerance for al Qa'eda through other means than war--they are simply too stupid to search for alternative means. Defense Secretary Gates should be fired a.s.a.p. obviously, yet the O'bomber is too busy sympathizing with the 50 or hundred billion gallons of oil released in the Gulf, and advocating for illegal immigration 'reform' instead of stoppage.
The President needs a more creative staff to innovate leading new ecological economic and defense policies that don't suck if this nation is to move ahead.

Regarding Philosophy and Abstract Art
I have been reading a history of the enlightenment and discovered several ideas presented differently than I had previously regarded them. The author went over the Romantic Movement and considered how that developed in opposition to reason. With much of the secularism and transition away from a more Platonic realist regime because of science and political advances that beset the continent of Europe in the 18th century it was rather natural that Rousseau, Coleridge and Kant arose as writers with opinions not at all reliant upon authority. The author of the book I read found Kant's thought about mind and morals to be apposite to the secularized approach of Rousseau.
It is the secularized or even existential paradigm in which Kant develops his Critique of Pure Reason and Critique of Practical Reason that is rather remarkable. The categorical imperative as a naturally inductable universal moral law does not of course rely upon hierarchical, revealed or political authority. Rousseau believed one should follow one's heart as a moral footing. That approach led to troubles in later politics, yet so does the alternative of detached intellectualism with particular object oriented goals.
Kant and the Romantics found morality and reason to be a little different than we might today. Yet I think that today perhaps we moderns do not reason as deeply as either Rousseau or Kant in the nature of mind, or of how emotion comprises an element of reason and morality.
It was in the author's description of Kant's term 'noumenon' that I found that my previous notion of the meaning of the term simply incorrect. I wonder if the author's term of use paradigm may have been incorrect rather than mine, yet I think not, for it does serve a salient philosophical purpose especially as regards art.
The author did in particular describes a critical transitional phase in the historical development of modern art that formed during the evolution from naive realism and philosophical realism to that of abstract thought about the natural world. The author (I can't recall his name presently or the actual title of the book--he was a Cambridge scholar) pointed out Picasso's approach to painting the natural world as an example of how modern artist might view the relationship between thought and perception... That is where I should return to Kant's concept of the nomumenal.
In the philosophical field of epistemology the Kantian categories of perception are fundamental for a significant portion of philosophical thought then and subsequently. From Schopenhaur's neo-Kantian pessimism to Empiricism and even perhaps Strawson and Quine there has been a search for the classification of what is perceived, what is perceived phenomenally, and what is subjectively added to percepts with thought or reason. The author regarded Kant's term noumenon as applying to self-awareness and sentience perceptions of the sensations (of the natural world). The things perceived are phenomenal, while the phenomenology of mind (no relationship to Hegel here) is noumenal.
I had made the error for some time of believing that the noumenal applied to those things that are things-in-themselves or things-for-themselves...The unknown and unknowable deeper realities beyond the phenomenality of things perceived. I regarded the noumenal as 'exterior' things belonging to reality of which we saw or heard a superficial surface appearance as phenomenality. The author on the other hand, regarded the noumenal as an interior experience of mind. Because mind can think, and does, the noumenal is a different perception than the plainly phenomenal and more--the noumenal is capable of a tremendous range of analytical thought. Some of that analytical thought may be found inn abstract art that implicitly recognizes the profound differences between naive phenomenalist percepts and the interior, noumenal phenomenology of mind.
Without self-awareness, the phenomenal realm is not even recognized. Slave devices such as cameras have no cognizance of the find snapshots they capture to provide for the use of sentient awareness. Art can have tremendous value to philosophers as a means of sketching or surveying interior and exterior relations of ontology. Art may provide methods of expressing phenomenalities of mind and experience in-itself. Art may be a tool for exploring that noumenal fact of conscious experience that shapes and conforms, liberates and sets aside, what can be known of space-time and being.
God has created the noumenon and the phenomenon, I have faith to believe. Nature in a sense is itself a great work of philosophical art, though of tremendous meaning as a challenge for the soul.
It is the secularized or even existential paradigm in which Kant develops his Critique of Pure Reason and Critique of Practical Reason that is rather remarkable. The categorical imperative as a naturally inductable universal moral law does not of course rely upon hierarchical, revealed or political authority. Rousseau believed one should follow one's heart as a moral footing. That approach led to troubles in later politics, yet so does the alternative of detached intellectualism with particular object oriented goals.
Kant and the Romantics found morality and reason to be a little different than we might today. Yet I think that today perhaps we moderns do not reason as deeply as either Rousseau or Kant in the nature of mind, or of how emotion comprises an element of reason and morality.
It was in the author's description of Kant's term 'noumenon' that I found that my previous notion of the meaning of the term simply incorrect. I wonder if the author's term of use paradigm may have been incorrect rather than mine, yet I think not, for it does serve a salient philosophical purpose especially as regards art.
The author did in particular describes a critical transitional phase in the historical development of modern art that formed during the evolution from naive realism and philosophical realism to that of abstract thought about the natural world. The author (I can't recall his name presently or the actual title of the book--he was a Cambridge scholar) pointed out Picasso's approach to painting the natural world as an example of how modern artist might view the relationship between thought and perception... That is where I should return to Kant's concept of the nomumenal.

The Egdoppler Takeover (a science fiction short story)
The Egdoppler Takeover

All rights reserved
Since the piracy of one’s personal image became ubiquitous, there were those that set themselves the task of constructing personal visual face screening devices that could be powered with garment solar weave and power storage. Julius Egdoppler was the successful inventor of an electronic photon-bending field to make photography of one’s urban face impossible without consent. Millions of people sought to recover the personal privacy of an earlier age. In thousands of urban areas the blurred ‘Egdopplerface’ became a routine sight. Overnight Egdoppler became another of the world’s high tech billionaires. The face image-screening device was not his final project.
At age 38 Egdoppler moved offshore from Redondo Beach to a concrete dwelling ten miles offshore on the floor of the Pacific Ocean. From his dome laboratory he moved covertly into synthetic life physical interfaces with robotic and nano-composite structure ready-mix. In a few months of bringing together his ideas, the materials were broadcast worldwide and ready for use.
All of the brains were wired in a serial order for a maximally efficient computing array. Overnight a fast acting synthetic virus downloaded the human species into perpetual somnolence bordering upon coma. Scuttlebots connected such fallen humans where they lay with fiber-optic cables to the worldwide web taken over by Julius Egdoppler Inc and his human enhanced imaginative computing human serial processing unit.
Julius Egdoppler was a creative genius who had grown impatient in waiting for the progress of computer technical capability to reach human levels of dreaming and creative synthesis. Each human mind has trillions of synaptic connections and creative synthesis of the real world environment of sensation. Waiting for computer to develop sentience equal to that of humans was unacceptable for Julius. He needed the human race’s brain computation potential now in order to discover what new things could be discovered. Through his enslavement of human brains for his advanced computing projects, Julius Egdoppler would unlock the secrets of the Universe.
First things first. Just Los Angeles had six million viable salvaged human brains wired into his computing network. All of those former souls required biological maintainence, and scuttlebutts connected them to IV drips of synthetic nutrition. Eventually the bodies would be allowed to atrophy, after the human neural computing network discovered methods to isolate the brains in a healthy way while allowing the bodies to rot away in place. The brains might readily be encapsulated in neo-gel protein plexicases with advanced quantum computing circuitry through nano-technology infusion.
In the first two nights of human brain salvage in the United States 240 million bodies with conserved brains were brought into the Egdoppler Inc neural network. Eurasia yielded more than two billion more with the rest of the world providing brains for free computing power too. While chemical and nuclear plants broke down creaking global poisons, the scuttlebutt production facilities following custom Egdoppler designs increased the production of five basic forms of scuttlebutt required for the salvation of the human species as bio-stabilized slave computing units.
In most instances fine everwear webs were spun to encase the bodies of the brain processing units. These brains in the meanwhile were hard at work in a perennial rem sleep of dreaming for maximal work production. Given instructive suggestions, their minds were probed for content and neural circuits mapped. Synthetic duplication of their data contents formed with synthetic R.N.A. models of synaptic connections and arrays. The doubling of brain-mind computing or thought use by the twinned synthetic computing logic units would enhance eventual cluster mapping of thought processing of problems. For each human neural history had it’s own developmental historical programming traits that were unique programs formed through biological inheritance, experience and will. Julius Egdoppler’s plan was to exploit all of these billions of unique methods of problem solving to to solve the big questions he had to ask.
In several months Egdoppler had most of the former human minds and brains conditioned to using their maximum intellectual potential. The parallel processing capability of so many human brains was awesome-more than the contributing super-computers also wired into his network. The time arrived when he asked his network the three big questions.
Tapping on his computer keyboard, he posed the first question;
‘Why wouldn’t Shiela Liblosky go to the prom with me’?
Then he rapidly set in question two;
“How much does the Universe weigh?’
Followed quickly by the third question;
“Did Babe Ruth hate the Red Sox after he was sold like a cheap horse?”
The human neural network communicated globally with all of its translation and organizational capability for several minutes. An infinite number of answers were produced, and artfully at that.
The computer then died, before disclosing to Julius Egdoppler, what the answers were.

President Obama's Environmental Record Tarred and Feathered By BP Gulf Of Mexico Oil Blow-out
With a 24 hour surface capture rate of 15,000 barrels of oil in a 24 hour period since the recovery cap was placed after about 50 days of unchecked flow, it may be reasonable to extrapolate that a minimum of 20,000 barrels per day of 50 gallon barrels have escaped into the Gulf of Mexico since the escapement was allowed to occur. That means that 50 million to 350 million gallons of crude oil (was it light sweet crude?) has been released so far since the busted wellhead blow-out enabler was accomplished. That sure tars and feathers President Obama's environmental safety record. He needs political dispersants equal to that of BP in propaganda recovery tactics now.
The long range effect upon the Gulf of Mexico and world fishery is incalculable. One wonders watch catches of deep, crude oil and 'dispersant' chemicals will travel upon the world's deep ocean currents and swirl to the cold depths on even 10,000 year cycles toward the Bering Strait and Arctic Ocean?
How many parts per million in ocean water does one hundred million gallons of crude oil dispersed produce?
It will be more difficult with good conscious to eat Gulf of Mexico seafood products the next three decades at least with the significant possibility of untested contamination in various fish or bottom dwellers that have encountered caches of contaminants. Certainly the U.S. food and drug inspection is only spotty, while the new BP contaminants will be spotty as well, or even randomized in the turbulence of deep ocean currents and upwelling.
We would have been happier if the President of the United States had acted early to sap the busted wellhead at depth with Bangalore torpedoes a half mile down to permanently seal off the well. The President is the Chief Executive Officer rather than the Chief Litigation officer, yet the difference in roles seems to have escaped Mr. Obama on this one issue. Well, at least we are assured that the residual escaping few thousands barrels per oil per day will be halted at least in a few months.
If the sapping and sealing of oil wells had been tested at the BP well it should have been a proven technique for future mass disasters when they occur, instead of just a neglected theory. There is another concern though, that might be more fitting for bureaucrats to address on oil contamination disposal and that is the sequestration at a depth of a mile and a half of polluted liquids in sand formations. If that water travels in various currents, it may eventually reach such a depth offshore and escape into the ocean from whence it first journeyed from the BP wellhead. The deep subsurface mapping of warmer earth layers is perhaps not perfect and may allow for upwelling and other forms of convection--why should such a pervasive applied risk be accepted as another normal byproduct of an idiot oil industrial cult that should not need to overproduce in order to power fossil fuel engines. Why waste perfect good lubricants on production of motion of wheeled box-carts? Why not develop a variety of high tech individual and mass human and freight motivator technologies for immediate national development to eliminate the fossil fuel powered vehicle for good?

U.S. Government Domestic Policy Is More Bad Than Good on Many Issues
President Obama’s choice of a National Security Intelligence Director may give one cause to wonder. Will the enemies of the United States believe Obama is giving the U.S. Intelligence community ‘the clap’ Mr. Clapper may have been a bell ringer under Defense Secretary Gates, yet he is lucky to have the chance to leave Defense before the openly Gay military policy is enacted, if Republicans cannot find some way to prevent that openly sinful policy.
In Afghanistan the U.S.A. has a spend hundreds of billions of dollars of borrowed money policy to give the brother of a heroin supply grower time to cut a deal with the Taliban to govern so we can retreat with peace with honor before the country returns to chaos. Afghanistan is a large Muslim nation that we cannot convert into a nation of big screen t.v. watching couch potatoes overnight. If we spend trillions there to make muslims give up their beliefs and love a homosexual military themselves, and women with abortion kits in their handbags, it will cost many billions of dollars annually for a decade or two while we may have more pressing places to bomb.
U.S. policy should be more conservative on foreign occupations—bomb if we must, but do not occupy nations for long and waste trillions of dollars like drunken sailors with stock in the defense munitions industry.
Immunodeficiencies in the intelligence community were a cause for the success of the Al Qa’eda attack on the Pentagon that killed so many naval personnel. Richard Clarke’s warnings were ignored as were others. Instead of conventional military responses to what are fundamentally intelligence and border control issues, we should have just had a just say no to illegal immigration policy, developed a K.G.B. first directorate quality intolerance for illegal immigration, hijacking of airplanes or legal immigration of terrorists through bad airport screening, and developed better spy agencies and relationships with foreign intelligence services. The conventional military response was and is largely incompetent and ineffectual.
After we leave Iraq, a coup d’etat may bring another Saddam Hussein into office. In Afghanistan, the sheer mass of Asian numbers of Muslims and population demographics preclude U.S. protracted political control. This nation ought not continue a support the dictator kind of policy especially now that the cost of doing so has reached a level that is nearly self-destructive. Such a stupid policy has destroyed other nations before in history. There is nothing wrong with using good political intelligence and experiencing general national prosperity. Us poor Americans appreciate times of prosperity personally more than the perennial well-off.
The Naval Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff Mullins supports the change to an openly Gay military policy—was he in the Pentagon when the Al Qa’eda terrorism mission happened, was he always a supporter of an openly homosexual friendly military?
The oil spill in the Gulf is another kind of attack on U.S. ecological infrastructure. The oil may be considered a synthetic retrovirus attack on the health of the ocean and marshes. The President failed to order the demolition of the well shaft in a timely way to close down the outlet to the surface. Such a sapping technology should be designed for any potential future recurrences, as if enemies of the United States might choose to attack such obviously vulnerable targets close to the United States.
The Mexican border flood of millions of illegal alien workers is another immunological insult to the United States economic health. If the border were closed down to illegal aliens with 25,000 U.S. troops arresting illegals and building a half-mile control zone of elevated berms and deep ditches with electric patrol cars driving along with electronic motion and optic sensors, then two years later the national unemployment rate would probably drop by two percent as labor scarcity developed and wages rise. Illegal aliens are a primary assault on labor scarcity and wage value of labor. The Government tends to want cheap labor as it helps concentrate wealth for the rich. U.S. politicians tend to be whores for global corporations these days if not of Babylon the Great and a globalized satanic evil empire. Few politicians talk about U.S. nationalism—that just isn’t cool for the deficit spending capitalist tools. They forget there is also democracy and individualist free enterprise interests equally important as globalist corporate and socialist collectives.
The development of synthetic life forms is an attack on all natural life. With such creations the human genome is threatened with alteration by corrupt biological inventions. The government should swiftly hang those that modify the human genome directly, and electrocute those that produce synthetic life forms. I only say this because some atheist biologist believe that any change to life is o.k., and they are smart enough to throw the dice for all humans and all living things anytime they want with no possibility of error of catastrophic cascading change for the bad. A human immunological response representing all living things would be simply to kill the biological vectors undermining the stability of all living natural life forms. Biologists tend to be thoughtless eat or be eaten predators on this issue politically. The government if reasoning properly (only joking) would swiftly pass legislation making for a lifetime sentence with no possibility of parole for any homo sapien that manufactures synthetic life forms, or changes the human genome without extensive public consideration and a vote of approval for that Niagara Falls sort of irreversible risk taking.

Why The Long-Range U.S. Economic Posture Is Bad
The long-range economic prospects for the United States seem rather grim. My point of view isn't that of an economist--perhaps more that of an historical perspective guides my thought. The United States has yet to collapse as all other older nations have. It must learn that its own economic fate is in a conservation of national interest and economic health rather than in the greener fields abroad. The Government should not just try to support the prosperity of global corproations--they are in the business of taking a profit rather than being ofn service to the citizens of the United States.
Toynbee and a number of other general historians noted cycles of civilization. The wax and wane, rise and fall, through good times and bad forecasters may predict an inevitable sprawl. We like to think on the contrary, that intelligent design may direct and economy in advance through the shoal waters or rough currents and rocks toward better than chaotic random trial and error such as insentient worms may pursue drift mining nuggets of nutrition. Planning ahead may afford nation zoning license for front lawn gardening everywhere with no exception. we can see that home grown potatoes and fruit still have real consumer value.
The United States with brilliant ex-patriots and a mostly unpopulated continent had a couple hundred years of good luck of development. Its industrial development occurred at a time of grace with waterfalls, wood and electric power giving way to horseless carriages. Yet its destiny is not guaranteed by any means such that it cannot fail. It can and will fail economically and politically if it hasn't interest in conserving and defending its blessings as they are. That does not mean wasting trillions in foreign wars against ad hoc insurgents. Stupidity in foreign war spending doomed several nations in the past. The Obama administration continues the stupid Bush II policies in that regard, perhaps in order to achieve a Nixonesque 'peace with honor'. If one isn't going to annex a foreign nation, or it doesn't share the same basic values as one's own already before the war, it is improbable that the defeated nation will give up its religion and culture after one stops spending billions and billions there.
The United States has lost track of its national values of its tradition largely. Like the Roman Republic it has outgrown its territorial limits in a quest of greed or power. Unlike the ancient Italian Republic it has much room--more than enough, for its own prosperity. It simply chooses to pursue reckless and profligate business practice equally harmful to the ecosystem at home and abroad.
In Afghanistan the United States is protecting poppy growing for heroin (President Karzai's brother), defending Chinese communist copper mining ventures, encouraging negotiations with the Taliban, training an army in the best U.S. military methods so they can train terrorists better after we leave Afghanistan and stop the financial hemorrhage.
In the United States the Sect. of Defense and Chairman of the joint Chiefs of Staff openly support and openly gay is o.k. military policy, the nation supports abortion, and the nation has accepted the creation of a half a million new federal jobs as 'economic recovery'. the Obama plan is to added ten trillion dollars more public debt before beginning a balanced budget--who is he kidding? The people of the United States cannot afford in some distant decade to pay interest on 20 trillion dollars to globalists who also own their mortgages. Instead the nation will become politically meaningless with flunkies loyal to global corporations that are no better than elitist collectives with totalitarian political control over the free speech and though of their employee-minions extorted by need for work into silence.
Europe has of course learned the hard lessons that political management of a good sort isn't superfluous and that manifest destiny does not often guide the political affairs of mankind. Without a care for restoration of a healthy environment, flooding the nation with cheap labor from Mexico and outsourcing jobs abroad, letting government retirees collect more than working people annually, being guided by a corrupt financial service sector that cannot readily restart its plundering of U.S. finance even with government guarantees because the accounts are already suffering from their predation--the United States faces many challenges ahead.
The Obama administration seeks to restart the Clinton cycle of plundering and outsourcing--yet that is the wrong course. It should instead turn to a national ecological economic refoundation of the U.S. economy and rectify the misguided social security system such that a means test is given and only those earning less than 2/3rds of the average income may receive benefits. The United States may have its mortgages owned by the Chinese,and destiny in 50 years decided by foreign mercenary military under global corporate rule if economy perfidy does not first destroy the present U.S.A.
Historical lessons are hard to learn from and even harder to correct in advance in order to keep the U.S.A. viable. Meaningful economic reform isn't a likely scenario given the sort of people in government and media. Neither socialism nor corporatism contains the remedy for American enterprise, individualism and a secure border and social safety net including health care for the poor. The federal government doesn't require a libertarian sort of archaist freedom for global collective of business to take over-nor even foreign corporations from Dubai or then Chinese Red Army, it needs a determination to prioritize and sort ecologically efficient U.S. businesses of less than 3000 employees, to limit the number of companies an individual may hold an interest in to three.
The government needs to reallocate the digital broadcast wavelength spectrum to citizen enterprise internet relayed broadcasts with local citizens prioritization for burst slots. The government has a need to cut the anticipated new federal debt to no more than 3 trillion dollars during the next decade, and in fact to start a major overhaul of governance something like that which F.D.R. undertook, yet without a socialist or corporatist collective drift. The United States needs much government defining of new ecologically economic parameters today rather than to try to plug the holes in a leaky globalist bucket that is a vampire upon the future sovereignty, prosperity and health of the citizens of the United States.

We like to think on the contrary, that intelligent design may direct and economy in advance through the shoal waters or rough currents and rocks toward better than chaotic random trial and error such as insentient worms may pursue drift mining nuggets of nutrition. Planning ahead may afford nation zoning license for front lawn gardening everywhere with no exception. we can see that home grown potatoes and fruit still have real consumer value.
The United States with brilliant ex-patriots and a mostly unpopulated continent had a couple hundred years of good luck of development. Its industrial development occurred at a time of grace with waterfalls, wood and electric power giving way to horseless carriages. Yet its destiny is not guaranteed by any means such that it cannot fail. It can and will fail economically and politically if it hasn't interest in conserving and defending its blessings as they are. That does not mean wasting trillions in foreign wars against ad hoc insurgents. Stupidity in foreign war spending doomed several nations in the past. The Obama administration continues the stupid Bush II policies in that regard, perhaps in order to achieve a Nixonesque 'peace with honor'. If one isn't going to annex a foreign nation, or it doesn't share the same basic values as one's own already before the war, it is improbable that the defeated nation will give up its religion and culture after one stops spending billions and billions there.
The United States has lost track of its national values of its tradition largely. Like the Roman Republic it has outgrown its territorial limits in a quest of greed or power. Unlike the ancient Italian Republic it has much room--more than enough, for its own prosperity. It simply chooses to pursue reckless and profligate business practice equally harmful to the ecosystem at home and abroad.
In Afghanistan the United States is protecting poppy growing for heroin (President Karzai's brother), defending Chinese communist copper mining ventures, encouraging negotiations with the Taliban, training an army in the best U.S. military methods so they can train terrorists better after we leave Afghanistan and stop the financial hemorrhage.
In the United States the Sect. of Defense and Chairman of the joint Chiefs of Staff openly support and openly gay is o.k. military policy, the nation supports abortion, and the nation has accepted the creation of a half a million new federal jobs as 'economic recovery'. the Obama plan is to added ten trillion dollars more public debt before beginning a balanced budget--who is he kidding? The people of the United States cannot afford in some distant decade to pay interest on 20 trillion dollars to globalists who also own their mortgages. Instead the nation will become politically meaningless with flunkies loyal to global corporations that are no better than elitist collectives with totalitarian political control over the free speech and though of their employee-minions extorted by need for work into silence.
Europe has of course learned the hard lessons that political management of a good sort isn't superfluous and that manifest destiny does not often guide the political affairs of mankind. Without a care for restoration of a healthy environment, flooding the nation with cheap labor from Mexico and outsourcing jobs abroad, letting government retirees collect more than working people annually, being guided by a corrupt financial service sector that cannot readily restart its plundering of U.S. finance even with government guarantees because the accounts are already suffering from their predation--the United States faces many challenges ahead.
The Obama administration seeks to restart the Clinton cycle of plundering and outsourcing--yet that is the wrong course. It should instead turn to a national ecological economic refoundation of the U.S. economy and rectify the misguided social security system such that a means test is given and only those earning less than 2/3rds of the average income may receive benefits. The United States may have its mortgages owned by the Chinese,and destiny in 50 years decided by foreign mercenary military under global corporate rule if economy perfidy does not first destroy the present U.S.A.
Historical lessons are hard to learn from and even harder to correct in advance in order to keep the U.S.A. viable. Meaningful economic reform isn't a likely scenario given the sort of people in government and media. Neither socialism nor corporatism contains the remedy for American enterprise, individualism and a secure border and social safety net including health care for the poor. The federal government doesn't require a libertarian sort of archaist freedom for global collective of business to take over-nor even foreign corporations from Dubai or then Chinese Red Army, it needs a determination to prioritize and sort ecologically efficient U.S. businesses of less than 3000 employees, to limit the number of companies an individual may hold an interest in to three.
The government needs to reallocate the digital broadcast wavelength spectrum to citizen enterprise internet relayed broadcasts with local citizens prioritization for burst slots. The government has a need to cut the anticipated new federal debt to no more than 3 trillion dollars during the next decade, and in fact to start a major overhaul of governance something like that which F.D.R. undertook, yet without a socialist or corporatist collective drift. The United States needs much government defining of new ecologically economic parameters today rather than to try to plug the holes in a leaky globalist bucket that is a vampire upon the future sovereignty, prosperity and health of the citizens of the United States.
