Gulf of Tonkin Resolution Play by Turkey for Syria/N.A.T.O.?

One of Turkey's warplanes was shot down after briefly invading Syrian air space.  Turkey will consult N.A.T.O. Tuesday. If this incident seems a little like the Gulf Of Tonkin Resolution paradigm, perhaps it is. As a member of N.A.T.O. Turkey if attacked has the right to get help from the member states, yet Syria has not attacked Turkey-it was a Turkish warplane that invaded Syrian air space though the plane crashed and sank in the Mediterranean Sea.

If N.A.T.O. becomes a tool for Sunni Muslim states to evict non-Sunni leadership regimes to replace them with the Muslim Brotherhood it would seem that N.A.T.O. would have its thinking cap in a place where the sun doesn't shine.

The Sunni states of the Middle East have been lusting after excuses to war upon Syria and get rid of the Alawite minority government for some time. The Obama administration has been a community organizer for back alley weapons gifts and pay allowances for the Muslim Brotherhood insurgents and have probably been helped by Al Qa'eda terrorist bombings. France might like to get some of its Syrian influence back as well. N.A.T.O. ought not become a dupe for waging aggressive war when no N.A.T.O. nation has been attacked.

The opportunity for Syria to defend against Turkish jet aircraft attacks is brief at a thousand miles per hour. Maybe Turkey sent a bait aircraft and a disposable pilot to force a premise for a daft N.A.T.O. consideration of defending Turkey from Syria. Kofi Anan who has been helping the increase of the conflict through his 'negotiating' that probably requires the Assad Government give up power, is another front for the exacerbation of the development of war. If the United States and the U.N. stayed out of the mess, along with N.A.T.O. the war would probably burn itself out with fewer casualties.

Though the U.S.A. might not like the Assad Government, in the real Middle East the political values are somewhat different as the control of power may mean life or death to the people involved. American desires for Potemkin democratic procedures that install a one-party perennial rule with superficial democracy do not inevitably increase the well being and freedom of the majority or for the just.

N.A.S.A. is Locating Ice for Future Moon Explorers

N.A.S.A. scientists believe the Shackleton crater could have 22% ice content in the surface dirt. That's good news for Chinese plans to land communauts on the moon and make Mai Tai's some day; moon explorers may work up a thirst that can't be quenched with bottled water in Washington D.C.

One of the disadvantages of the space station is that since women are unlikely to be able to gestate healthy babies in zero gravity, its somewhat a waste of money unless one plans to have amoeba inhabit the other planets of the solar system. Even growing plants on the moon in one-sixth gravity should require construction of an experimental farm as many colleges have that would recycle water and use solar power in caves dug into crater walls to determine how sustainable recycling life could develop.

The Social Explosion of Symbols

Reading through a fine text on the philosophy of language recently I arrived at a chapter on symbols and metaphor. Words exist in a kind of temporal continuum of a discrete nature with lexicons as a kind of ontology illuminated like a nebula from the formation and forces of a dust cloud-perhaps even unto the miniature scale of strings or monads. Symbols are one way of creating semiotic tokens or indicators of larger meanings or formations of word meanings.

Metaphor too has a similar process. One might be a liar if one's metaphor is taken literally. An example is saying that a basketball player is a tiger on the court, or a lion when the public plainly can see that he is a human being. The meaning of symbols and metaphors is in relation to something else not implicitly contained in the symbol or metaphor. Like most words that aren't onomatapoetic, symbols and metaphors comprise a kind of abstract address for the object of described.

Social metaphors and symbols may arise that have a given meaning and value to which other people dissent. The explosion of a metaphor into the social lexicon may be brought by a political revolutionary or reformer-the symbol of the metaphor-perhaps a hammer and sickle may herald the arrival of the creative destruction of the existing social order. Interpretation of the symbol may be positive or negative as might the social effects of the deeper forces supporting the power criterion of the symbol or metaphor.

For social dissidents the formerly explosive symbol may become kitch-a paradigm for bad or obsolete things. Alternatively a symbol may arrive and fizzle failing to detonate efficiently generating stagflationary political anomie. Atheist dissidents to Christian symbolsm have for decades attacked Christian symbolism in order to neutralize the value. One example is that of the symbol of the fish on bumper stickers followed with a fish being eaten by a larger fish. The Christian concept of God providing creatively as Jesus so often did for his disciples is attacked with the nullification of economic providence in leftist American circles.

Republican House Attacks Tongass Forest & U.S Boundary Ecosystems

U.S. border ecosystems that currently have environmental protection would lose many of those defenses if the Senate passes a bill sent along today from the U.S. House. Included in the bill was a measure to let Alaskan Tlingit Indians in the SeaAlaska Corporation swap land selection areas given during the Nixon administration settlements with Alaska natives for prime old growth forest. SeaAlaska Corporation has a record of cutting old growth forest. There is only about 10% remaining of the old growth forests of S.E. Alaska and the nation's largest rain forest.

http://www.adn.com/2012/06/19/2511405/us-house-takes-up-waiver-of-border.html

American Indians are the essential beneficiary of legal racial apartheid in the United States. Probably U.S. Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) supports the bill because of its imperial characteristic and because Alaska natives provided political supported in her last election. Imperialism Alaska via foreign corporations is a venerable tradition. If the SeaAlaska land swap goes through it will probably also cast a shadow over Anglo-American mining efforts to develop copper mines in the headwaters of Bristol Bay-The notorious Pebble Mine Project.

The rationale for the Republican border environment road-building effort is to defend against drug traffickers and human and narcotics smugglers. Building roads is a bad way to accomplish worth-while objectives. The bill should be rejected in the Senate and new ways of capturing foreign invaders on the border developed in addition to not rewriting the original Alaska Native Land Claims Settlement Act provisions at all. One day such rewriting could turn the tide in another direction less desired by Tlingits, if not to end racially differentiated areas if nothing else.

Language Limits in Describing 'The One' God Accurately

I tend to go with the paradigm of Plotinus in The Enneads for describing 'The One'. Fundamentally it is not a paradigm that can be described well at all.

I have enjoyed reading Eco's 'Semiotics and the Philosophy of Language' lately. Signs or signals of meanings differ from symbols for meaning. A stop sign is a stop signal perhaps, while a symbol for a stop sign might be something else, somewhere else.

One has language that is comprised of a multi-dimensional field of word-meanings that have values that differ in different contexts-so that is a moving target for finding a static meaning for anything as improbable as the prospect for defining a role for God or The One as an 'other'. It is probably far too much of a temptation to avoid exploiting cosmological analogy for models for paradigm of creating an image or description of what God did or what God was employed doing before (the time exstasis is improbable) he issued a Universe, if there is such a thing as before for an eternal being.

I like physical cosmology quite a lot, yet it is a phenomenon within the experience of being provided for human cognition that is transcended by God. The language adaptations for theology aren't simple to use, and they too are evolving I suppose-if one means changing as a normal 4-dimensional egress rather than a simple Darwinian meaning. Even Biblical literalism has the problem that literal words are symbolic words too-people have trouble interpreting when the Flood occurred, where it happened and even what it was referring to. Words are symbols, and the interpretation of symbols has many variables multi-diemsnionally speaking.

Eco pointed out that originally the word 'symbol' meant to parts of a coin. One could have a half of something and if the other part was obtained the meaning could be gotten. The use of symbolism in language evolved to lose that paradigm of locating half of a meaning in its use for word and object. Etymologies became something more like permutating meanings based on prior meanings historically developed. Even the word 'symbol' was taken to be construed by many as a representation referring to a real thing for itself-even if the thing referred to is an abstract idea such as a political party (e.g. Hammer and Sickle, Swastika).

It becomes challenging to believe that one can select certain words as symbols that accurately represent God. It is simpler to find math symbols that are tools describing relations, proportions and structure of proximal strength of force that is energy or matter as a given for-itself. It is challenging though to point out to some that the abstract practice of mathematical and physical cosmology, though all one may discover through the senses is not all that can exist. Abduction of ideas from contexts may be a way to philosophically construct metaphysics that have some value-even if the meanings are better applied to teleology or eschatology than quantum mechanics.

British Guardian Reports Rubio is Best in Model for V..P.

Evidently an associate professor of something-possible in the United States of America-has determined that according to his criteria the best choice would be Florida Senator Marco Rubio for the Republican Vice-Presidential candidate in 2012. It is comforting to know that the Guardian is concerned with political currents in the former colonies.

One must wonder if Rubio would be sympathetic to expanding ubiquitous British surveillance plans into the Hispanic world and even to Equador where Julian Assange is reported to be applying for refuge.

One media narrative is that U.S. Hispanics would vote for another Obama term because the President isn't white, and the Indonesian-Keynyan-Irish skin color is more sympatico to Hispanic voters than the plain vanilla of Romney. Hispanic voters out of work the past four years may find change to a Republican administration is more likely to bring jobs their way than four years more of the same old, same old. Black voters may opt for change in 2012 as well reducing their 99% skin color voting history numbers a little.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/jun/19/marco-rubio-vice-president-vetting?newsfeed=true

President Obama's decree of partial illegal alien amnesty via Janet Napolatano's Department of Mexican Homeland Security may not bring as many votes this fall as the committee to re-elect the President calculated versus dissatisfaction of jobless in the U.S.A.

Marco Rubio may be glib, yet if he hasn't any ecological economic education and a dedication to reform capitalism moving him into the political future of the U.S.A. the next 16 years would be a significant error for the well being of the people of the nation and the world.

Mitt Romney should pick an ecological economics professor for his Vice President who could slow down the creeping end of life on Earth gathering power through the insensitive sprawl of resource displacement and species eradication. The voters already have confidence in Mitt Romney to lead the conventional business cycle-its the unconventional and troubling 'hidden' world currents that the regular media disregards when they are manipulating public opinion. The U.S.A. needs to become and ecological economic reformer, leader in a new nationalism in order to show the rest of the developing world how a reformed capitalism down-sized for local control, full-employment and ecological best-case natural selection can be followed by emerging economies challenged by the limit on physical resources and of their control by concentrated wealth and power.

Jesus Christ & The Anthrocentricism of Home-Matthew 8:20

In the aftermath of the home mortgage crisis millions of Americans experienced the insecurity of loss of home equity. If not all became homeless living upon the streets or in the forests, many became renters or sharers of dwellings-with-others. The Lord Jesus Christ expressed his own station in life regarding dwelling.

Matthew 8:^20 "And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head."

The Lord Jesus did not have a customary location that was his home. That makes a lot of sense for God, yet it is difficult a humanity that is very property and security oriented.

Animals generally have a 'home', den, borough, nest, hole, cave, reef, shell or such in which they find life more comfortable and secure. The cunning fox has a place to return to with Kentucky Fried Chicken while the birds have the sky for a house and a nest for their bed. Jesus Christ was not limited to such a geographic center as is most of humanity, and neither should he logically with monistic oneness with all that could exist as His heritage.

Today one might expect that the government could mediate a little the housing crisis in the U.S.A. by giving favorable tax and energy benefit reinforcement to small eco-niche integrated homes with large healthy eco-yards as wild as possible for low price with mortgages that cannot be traded on global commodity exchanges where they may become owned by the ones destined to exist for eternity in hell.

Greece Votes to Continue Obligations to Euro-Zone Banks, Egypt's Army Decrees New Powerss

The Egyptian Military having already got a pocket court to dismiss the parliament announced new military powers that appear to make the office of the President more like that of water boy. President Obama expressed support for the conservative win in the Greek election that put the New Democracy Party in the drivers seat to keep Greeks in Eurozone and Banking debt and 'austerity' for the forseeable future. Defeated was the radical socialist Syriza that wanted to say the heck with the Eurodebt bail-outs and austerity.

Maybe the Greeks will get some Green Stamps or free military service in return for their continued membership in the Eurozone-who can say?

With the Egyptian Presidential election votes being counted the Military Decree of new powers nipped in the bud the probably election victory of a Muslim Brotherhood leader regarded as antipathetic toward military rule instead of that of the brothers.

Britain to Stick Finger in Every Pie Looking for Hot Terror

British authorities have publicized a plan to invade the privacy of every individual in the United Kingdom and of those communicating with the British. The plan is believed to be intended to enhance the ability of aristocrats to foist British imperialism through insider financial doping upon the reset of a formerly somewhat free world.

With modern cable splicing equipment and pressure upon Internet and phone corporations as well as through the proprietary postal service Britain will keep archives for at least a year and perhaps in ghost files forever copies of every communication made through communication media in British controlled regions of the globe.

A top British law enforcement balrog said only conspiracy theorists and criminals would object to British skimming of information from all the peons of the planet that in error believe the state should not keep track of their private lives and communications generally. A trans-gender government official said that more convenient lies would be forthcoming on an ad hoc basis to prop-dope up chumps in the U.S.A.

http://www.usnews.com/news/world/articles/2012/06/14/uk-gives-new-details-of-mass-surveillance-plan

The appeal to patriotism was made; after all George Orwell's 1984 was never actualized in reality and Orwell/Eric Blair was a true patriot British Patriot foreseeing the need for an Orwellian state named for his alter ego in addition to the 'what me worry' argument drawn on a MAD magazine espirit de fogedaboutit principal useful for keeping aristocratic hegemony over citizenry for-themselves.

The public has been given additional and probably redundant assurances that Imperial forces would never ever use any surveilled information to gain a financial advantage in any way, and that no information would be used to construct abstract financial models or high-speed political flow-charting of current trends for quantitative analysis of political economy of the globe. That probably won't satisfy the criminals and conspiracists out there, it it ought to.

This action could be a reflection of the future when human vocabulary and each word becomes thought in hypertext language with each word a representation from an ad hoc topology of multi-dimensional matrices of meaning clusters amidst an ocean of one-level differentia; and that could be a  concern of forward think political futurists

French Election Round 2, Game Three N.B.A. Final, Gang of 20 Meeting in Mexico, U.S. Open Round 4, Greek Election,

A full plate for video viewing today-one hopes the play-by-play analysis is up to the task. I will provide a little commentary on the International Banking dialectical evolution between the socialists and avaricious capitalists.

With Bill Clinton setting the stage for a renewal round of global British Imperialist gains in the U.S.A. signing off on de-regulation measure enabling global banking and mortgage predation, the stopping of U.S. national economic development in the post cold-war era preceded. Eventually banking and mortgage crises developed and Barack Obama-a ganja qualified Indonesian trained 'outsider' able to accelerate the rise of godless socialism in the U.S.A. appeared to lead the increase of U.S. public debt development. The socialist paradigm was that the avaricious global capitalists need tax cuts to consolidate wealth and global banks could rely upon increasing public debt to make the global economy smoothly vacuum up loose lifetime assets of the middle class.

Paradoxically socialists and capitalists sought both sought to globalize and totalize the economy. The election of a French socialist President to match the Harvard-ganja/Hawaii/Indonesian axel-rodham of egress leadership of President Barrack Hussein Obama. The French sough to make European debt a common debt obligation selling bonds that would enable the Germans to pay for everything the Greeks and Spaniards charged on their Eurocards, yet the desire of global bankers to vacuum up loose, unprotected assets of the middle class and assets in Europe and the United States meant that bailing out banks with national finances would globalize and lose the money to vague powers of concentrated wealth filtered through Swiss and Cayman Island accounts.

The meeting of the gang of 20 in Mexico to resolve the imbroglio might take a back seat in the ratings today behind the U.S. Open and game three of the Miami Heat vs. the Oklahoma City Super-Sonic-Thunder. Probably the European debt crisis will be resolved with investors fleeing to safe Neo-Comm Chinese authoritarian acquisitions.
