When the Saudi royal family sent 150 armored personnel carriers to reinforce the Bahraini royal government-a Sunni government like that of the Saudi, I was reminded of the long shadow cast by the radical Shia government of Revolutionary Iran in middle eastern affairs. If the civil uprising in Bahrain by Shia militants led to an abdication and takeover to Shia rule, would Americans observe formation of a democratic government in Bahrain by people speaking a language that has no words for democracy in it?
For domestic U.S. news consumption we learn that uprising in the Middle East by organizers using Twitter and Facebook invariable would create a democratic government if successful. If sectarian rule is democratic with complete repression of the opposite Islamic mosques and people from government perhaps that is so. Nevertheless there are many questions to ponder on the issue of political stability in the strategically important tiny nation of Bahrain.
How did a Sunni ruling class form historically in Bahrain, and where did the Shia come from that live in Bahrain today-were they illegal aliens arriving after the British created the nation following world war one?
If Shiist government takes over will Grand Ayatollah Sistani of Iraq be there spiritual guide, or will it be the Supreme Guide Khomeinehi of Iran? If a Shia government takes over will Iran home-port naval warships there to control both sides of the entrance to the Persian Gulf? Will Iran deploy missiles to Bahrain able to hit all Saudi oil production facilities from the Red Sea to the Persian Gulf? Will Iran sponsor the creation of the Hezbollah political party in Bahrain as it supports Hezbollah in the Lebanon? Americans have no answers to most of these simple questions reaching mundane political discussion.
Saudi Arabia is the wealthiest of Arab nations. The oil of the nation is half gone already, and one must wonder about the prosperity of a Saudi Arabia with a democratic government locked in civil, political turmoil and economic management something more like that of the United States; would it begin running deficits too and accelerate the wasting of its natural oil wealth before returning to the desert status of Yemen? Perhaps a slow evolution to a constitutional monarchy is in Saudi Arabia’s future. The effort to continuously grow national prosperity I that nation may perhaps suffer with too much restive political agitation if not pluralistic terrorist actions in support of takedown of the government. Such leveraged underpinning would not necessarily be followed by construction of a democratic government. We might think to ask who the people are, where they are from, what additional interests are present and so forth in regarding the opposition constituency in Twitter-Facebook inspired ‘instant’ uprisings seeking to borrow U.S. political and military power.

Atomic Power Investors Say Everyone is Radioactive Already-No Worries
Numerous talking heads defending nuclear power plant construction and the no-danger nature of atomic fission piles producing electricity have reassured the public that everyone already emits radiation themselves and a little more won’t hurt them. They also say that nuclear power plants are a ‘smart choice’, yet each premise is false.
Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Washington State still has an unfunded 50 billion dollar clean-up cost. Hanford was the site of the nation’s first federal nuclear power facility and has a few mothballed plants there that cost taxpayers billions and billions.
Market forces have conquered U.S. government economic policy planning. President Obama threw in the toll on ending Bush era tax cuts wholeheartedly indicating his underlying market political philosophy. That market philosophy of government is based on economic and social science theories since the 70’s the government isn’t capable of rational economic intervention-it can only bail out large market players when they stumble because of imperfect knowledge of the market conditions.
That is a kind of rational market existential philosophy. The poor are deleted from Democratic political concerns, as is full employment as they have signed off on a natural unemployment rate versus rise of inflation (NAIRU) paradigm as an unavoidable deterministic fact.
Market philosophy dominance of politics can neutralize the reality of democracy. Democratic governments, it is held, should not moderate economics through public sector goal setting and intervention. Instead, they should reinforce the market and let the democracy of buying stock be the rationality that determines governance. Power is implicitly found in the market culture. Electrical power supply and consumption management should be a part of government duty in regard to national paradigm setting. Absolute power supply and consumption in itself may become absolutely corrupt when market forces alone determine the philosophical parameters of its use. All of nature-all of the mass that exists is an equivalent of energy. Atomic fission and fusion of mass to release energy is best left to nature, and the natural history of evolution of the cosmos, for the stars and other processes. Human and other biological life exists at a much different temperature range and should innovate more benign methods of harnessing power to sustain itself and its life processes.
A blind government reliant upon the magic hand of market structuring of society is one that finds atomic power plants ‘smart’. It also support coal, cap and trade, oil consumption and whatever else develops on the market. The ideas of government setting goals and criteria for the market are lost. Democratic governance becomes dumb.
If the U.S. Government were to make nuclear plants, coal plants producing emissions, strip mining of coal and hydro electric dams illegal the national ecology would reasonable be better off. The market values increased consumption however, and thus atomic power plants are regarded as ‘smart’ ways to keep the nation’s power consumption increasing.
Ecological values and values for human survival as well as national independence differ from pure market values quite often. In fact many value theories and systems exist from which a democracy may select those that best enhance the quality of life of the citizens. If dangerous, ecospherically disruptive energy technologies are banned in the United States the market would evolve, like a forest in the devastated St. Helen’s eruption aftermath, to grow a new forest to fill in the empty wasteland.
The market finding atomic, coal and hydroelectric power banned would value wind, solar, geothermal and fuel cell power highly and invest in tech races to supply new power technology. Superconductor technology would be applied along with better building design and insulation strategies. Smart new methods of living and producing and using electricity would flow directly into the voids left by the departure of 1920’s era coal, oil and hydroelectric power along with half century old nuclear-power for peace paradigms.
Atomic power plants are high on a list of implicit threats to life on Earth. In some future global conflict thousands of the plants could be destroyed and hundreds or thousands of years of destruction and/or mutation to human and other living species become a routine fact of the planetary surface and oceanic depths.

Minimum Income for Unemployed in NAIRU Equillibrium?
Beyond Samuelson text-bookonomics, beyond monetarism and Keynsianism, the supply side of Lafferian market march madness with no borders has transcended and largely negated the concept of government collective macro-economic interventions. The Democratic Party has accepted the concept of NAIRU-the natural anti-inflation rate of unemployment and pure market individualism with deemphasis of the nation’s poor. It should be possible to compensate for the natural rate of structural unemployment by providing a minimum income for the unemployed who will not find work because economic theory does not permit a certain percentage of a population to be employed.
Designing programs to provide medical service or the poor for free would best lower the cost of medicine in the United States. The poor cannot afford insurance or health services when they need them, so providing free clinics for the poor would not take money away from medical providers. As it is the public must absorb the cost of emergency room treatments the poor are forced to seek, and the cost is passed on to those that can afford medical services.
With a minimum national income a standardization of subsistence policy for the unemployed, undesirable and hopeless would be created that would enable a functional level of social fluidity and opportunity to make ends meet in ad hoc reinforcement for training opportunities. Minimum free enterprise might also be supported by the innovative with a minimum income.
Some might argue that if the natural unemployment rate is 5%, those five per cent should suffer until they find work and a rotating door of sharing the pain of destitution might eliminate the need of a minimum income. Some might argue that some people would not work with a national minimum income-yet if some quit jobs to receive a minimum income that would free up a job opportunity for someone receiving a federal minimum income who is looking for a job that pays at least 300% more than the minimum.
Economic realism matters in a society that seeks a natural functioning social flow equivalent to that provided by nature from which any individual cold naturally extract subsistence with a less challenging demographic and legal situation. Society should not use NAIRU as a lever for eugenics policy to rid society perennial of those deemed undesirable. With bad social judgment, or even malign supernatural influence, a society might evolve itself out of existence.

Death Valley Days (poem) ©2011 GaryCGibson
Through the valley of the shadows of debt
I shall fear no inflation
thy globalism and corporatism comfort them
who transform infinite American dreams
into that Market rationalism of Don Quixote
that knows no bounds to rational criteria
expansion of imagination fitting into price contingent boxes
the people of the business book
brackets of Wall Street exuberance
glow with radiation developments
Finite yet unbounded is the sphere
a little song of the planet
a chorus of angels of enterprise
warping troubles with non-Euclidean calculus
geometries of extra-dimensions it might take god to understand
financial complexities and derivatives in a coded program of spin matrices
still, the Earth journeys through cycles with solar system object
and a collision with the Andromedans approaches just a couple billion years away
To the still waters and green pasture
superfloods of reason
while the book is closed
the lines of letter in memory
sunlight in photographs and time passages
the first days and the last
with winds of words and transient lies
from the dissident of truth radiating
crumbling creations as Earthquakes down paper towers in season
Pointillist, discrete sociological portraits in a French novelist’s language of the mountains of social power
a polar icecap of human change reducing in global warming area meltdown cyclically as a function of geographic limits to human freedom
a society of D.N.A. biomass varying in atomistic diversity
while some were spiritualized saved even so.

Kennedy Spaced Center Discovery of 4.2 Grams of Suspected Cocaine
Well, I heard the song 'whitie's on the moon' on the radio a while ago. I don't sympathize with an anti-space policy at all, yet an anti-spaced policy is actually necessary for safe space flight.
One wonders what other things they might take aloft to get really high.
http://www.space.com/11128-nasa-kennedy-space-center-cocaine.html
Plainly the use of narcotics or narcotics smuggling around space vehicles should be discouraged and a moon base for research constructed with a zero tolerance for cocaine policy strictly enforced.

Topic 1 John Baker WIns Iditarod/Topic 2; Moose Memory
In just 8 days 19 hours and 46 minutes an experienced dog musher from Alaska won the race over fast snow from Willow Alaska to Nome. It was the 39th Iditarod race. Congratulations Mr. Baker, it's undoubtably a tough and chilling course.

It is obvious that humans know where things are spatially, and dogs too have returned to their home from long distances, yet I wonder about moose.
This morning a large bull moose was trapped against a concrete wall at the edge of a sidewalk on a busy street in Anchorage. It was able to leap up over the wall and onto a lawn. Do moose in Anchorage have memory of where green spaces are or of how to find their way out of the town into the wild or is it just trial and error hoping to get out of places with unfreindly cars moving about ?
Compared to humans with garmin gps devices for land navigation, how good is moose memory? Do they choose to wander about in dangerous areas or is it just the bad luck of the draw?

Iran’s Khomeinist Revolutionary Government Subversions in the Middle East
Iran’s Khomeinist revolution of 1979 elevated a radical Nazi style government into power. A revolutionary shadow government rules the state government. Even the President of Iran is ruled by ‘The Supreme Guide’. So long as Mahmoud Ahmadinejad leads the twin tower policy of destruction of the United States and of Israel he is reinforced by the revolutionary radical Shiite sect of ‘twelvers’ that are religious mullahs.
Americans tend to approach the Khomeinist regime of Iran as if it were made of intelligent, decent people with whom they might find common ground to negotiate good terms with-that is simply wrong. The Khomeinist are hell bent for the destruction of the United States. Though Senator Obama as a presidential candidate used Mahmoud Amadinijab's campaign slogan for his own 'we can', the twin Presidencies are a world apart in goals for peaceful coexistence.
The Khomeinist regime complained that Saudi reinforcement of the Bahrain state of emergency with 150 armored personnel carriers was ‘not acceptable. Iranian long term policy to foment discontent in the middle east has taken a variety of forms including heavy financial and training reinforcement of HAMAS-a Sunni government in Palestine and the Gaza, signing a defense treaty with Syria, reinforcing its proxy government of Hezbollah in Lebanon and so forth.
Israel seized anti-ship missiles sent from Iran to Gaza http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/israel-navy-anti-ship-missiles-meant-for-gaza-found-on-seized-ship-1.349410
The United States seized anti-vehicle weapons from Iran bound to Afghan insurgents recently. Iran’s government as sponsored a number of terrorist organizations in Afghanistan as is a general rogue government sewing wickedness and instability.
Americans generally do not realize the problems Iran’s government presents for its own people as well as the issues it creates for others. It hopes to move down into Iraq and at least create a Shiist government there subject to the Khomeinist perennial war lunatic fringe.

We may realize the secular "mullah" in America that is the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff-Admiral Mullins does represent the atheist, sin side of advocacy of homosexuality, and some wonder if President Obama could be the hidden twelfth Imam, yet these speculations are largely nonsense; they are simply amoral market instrumentalists over extending a class liberal economic criterion globally. It is possible to work against sin without either the sin of homicide by government design or theocracy. In fact Christianity cannot be rightly expressed within a theocratic government, while alternatively some of the Shiia believe that Islam cannot exist without a worldly government.
It is difficult to know to what extent Iran has fomented ‘uprisings’ in middle eastern nations as a way to bring a radical Shiite regime to power through the smoke and mirrors of creating a popular democratic government. The radical left including the Tudeh-the Iranian Communist Party were the muscle that brought the Ayatollah Khomeini to power and the Shah to catch a plane for south beach. The Khomeinists are always at work destabilizing the middle east as they have visions of leading a world of Islamic subjugation called ‘the umma’ although the Shia are just 12% of world Muslims.
Because the Sunni reject the Shiia about everywhere, Iranian perpetual Muslim revolutionaries have taken a political approach to conquering Islamic sentiments. They fund terrorism and revolution against Israel and American interests wherever it might be useful. In Palestine there is not a single Shiite mosque. In Egypt few Shiite mosques are allowed to exist, and alternatively, in Shiite regions Sunni mosques are demolished and the Sunni are encouraged to convert. Even Christianity is a crime for new converts in Iran. There are more issues to the Middle Eastern affairs than meets the eye of Americans perusing the news.

Education ComPutin & The Federal Budget
Education in the United States has failed to keep up with the challenges flowing over K-12 instructional method.K-12 competency decline parallels that of U.S. economic leadership. It should be easier to advance progress in public K-12 education than in federal economic leadership.
Students waste too much time on computer gaming. For-extra credit educational games of high video quality should be contracted to encouraged students to play educational games instead of grand theft auto. Like standardized textbooks educational video games should be exciting for teenagers to play.
For mathematical instruction perhaps students shooting the right answer might get points on multiple choice opponents possibilities while those failing to nail the right relationship of for example the hypotenuse of the Pythagorean Theorem might be shot and lose points.
Standardized mathematical and history video games would let students combine useful learning and recreational opportunities together. School examination of a student-player’s skill level on a school computer would determine if the student learned that Vladimir Computin was not the inventor of transistor, or if the periodic table’s elements include pepper and salt.
Federal budgeters in Congress complain about nickel and diming the trillion dollar deficit conveniently forgetting that last December both parties and the president choose to extend tax cuts thus preventing a balanced budget in two years if they had been allowed to expire, and quicker with some spending cuts. If the federal budget could have been balanced by a responsible congress this year, the fracturing of national ecological and economic accountability into the worst case scenarios of the Diner’s Dilemma that allow just ‘nickel and diming’ of the federal budget and 14 trillion dollar public debt provides a spirit-of-the-age normal replacement. Kicking the issue down the road is the best way for globalism to function when it’s only the U.S. public holding the bag.
Globalists seek to balance the budget by cutting social sector spending-areas where corporations and contractors do not directly get federal payments. If entitlements were to be fairly cut, it would not be the poor that would be cut but the prosperous through means testing and of course that would be opposed by the prosperous majorities of congress. Cutting social sector spending isn’t the best way to balance the federal budget now. Cutting Department of Revenue spending on interest payments on the public debt-about ¾ trillion annually would be possible with tax increases. Eliminating interest payments on public debt is the preferred method of balancing the federal budget. Modest spending cuts, and large rhetoric cuts, should be enacted to bring the U.S. economy toward a healthier direction.
Public education could obviously be improved by providing vouchers to private schools for excellent students so they are not held back. Teachers should have more time to instruct average and slower students. A public education system in the post-modern nation-state runs a risk of mass public mediocrity through conformity to a fundamental norm killing educational diversity in the process. The richness of a public education system should be found in its independent diversity of content and styles instead of in training for submission to autocracy or alternatively collective yippee conformity.

School examination of a student-player’s skill level on a school computer would determine if the student learned that Vladimir Computin was not the inventor of transistor, or if the periodic table’s elements include pepper and salt.
Federal budgeters in Congress complain about nickel and diming the trillion dollar deficit conveniently forgetting that last December both parties and the president choose to extend tax cuts thus preventing a balanced budget in two years if they had been allowed to expire, and quicker with some spending cuts. If the federal budget could have been balanced by a responsible congress this year, the fracturing of national ecological and economic accountability into the worst case scenarios of the Diner’s Dilemma that allow just ‘nickel and diming’ of the federal budget and 14 trillion dollar public debt provides a spirit-of-the-age normal replacement. Kicking the issue down the road is the best way for globalism to function when it’s only the U.S. public holding the bag.
Globalists seek to balance the budget by cutting social sector spending-areas where corporations and contractors do not directly get federal payments. If entitlements were to be fairly cut, it would not be the poor that would be cut but the prosperous through means testing and of course that would be opposed by the prosperous majorities of congress. Cutting social sector spending isn’t the best way to balance the federal budget now. Cutting Department of Revenue spending on interest payments on the public debt-about ¾ trillion annually would be possible with tax increases. Eliminating interest payments on public debt is the preferred method of balancing the federal budget. Modest spending cuts, and large rhetoric cuts, should be enacted to bring the U.S. economy toward a healthier direction.
Public education could obviously be improved by providing vouchers to private schools for excellent students so they are not held back. Teachers should have more time to instruct average and slower students. A public education system in the post-modern nation-state runs a risk of mass public mediocrity through conformity to a fundamental norm killing educational diversity in the process. The richness of a public education system should be found in its independent diversity of content and styles instead of in training for submission to autocracy or alternatively collective yippee conformity.
