Spaghetti-Care Health Bill Patches U.S. Spree's Court (political humor)

Keeping the modern American tradition of hotwiring any possible sort of political legislation to make special interests happy the Court of All Possible Errors led by Chief Justice Shurbert voted Spaghetti-Care constitutional and individual man-date junkie dorrie because it's only a tax. A bubbly, refreshing and sparkling corporate media mogul sparks person said that Justice Shurbert's decision to side with the Spaghetti-care supply-siders was inevitable since the Chief Justice Shurbert is the most capitalized member investor in Corporatopia of the Spree Court and ordering transfer payments from individuals to Health Corporations by legal mandate of dedicated taxation is good for corporate profits health.

 In writing the majority opinion Chie f Justice Shurbert tweeted that  "Anyone not buying an epub copy of St. Novilistricka Dimensions for $1.49 deserves to be taxed." The dissenting opinion by Justice Excoriation gibed the opposite course; "The government should not tell people to buy anything besides "A Placed for Faith" in epub for $1.49."
 The progressive deterioration of U.S. political legislation and rise of maf-media influence since the end of the cold war have brought compiling debt, globalization and an incompetent, ineffective government fiscally Darwinian tangled-bank of policy hybridization to let bureaucracy and corporate power increase with borrowed money while concentrating wealth. U.S. home mortgages were set on a global windowsill like hot apple pies letting the Chinese Communist Party roll up Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.
 Analysts have noted whenever Republican leadership fails to provide attractive free market reforms and to deliver a better lifestyle for the poor without onerous conditions the default positions inevitably develop to prop up short term media populism grown in the underwater ethos of decayed tree branches.
 In 1889 the State of Washington became part of the U.S.A., yet in Germany Otto Von Bismarck created the first old age retirement system that was later lost after Britain dragged the U.S.A. into the first world war enabling the revolt against the German Government, rise of Hitler's 3rd Reich and empowerment of the Soviet Union. If pragmatism had reached Washington in 1889 to provide free health care for the poor and Veterans the rise of bureaucratic entanglement of banks too big to be honest and bureaucracies too big to be competent might not have occurred.
 Some have suggested that like Adolph Hitler's populism in the form of national socialism in 1930's Germany with fast highway bills and federal jobs programs paid for with vast deficit spending, the Leader's populism may also stimulate rapid growth with piles of nearly worthless currency, yet cynics suggest there are few new prosperous nations out there to plunder and that look the 3rd Reich the collapse of the heavily indebted government is the most probably theoretical scenario for achieving fiscal equilibrium with or without foreign war. The 4th way of a Mexicanization intermezzo redistributing power of the U.S. economy back to a corrupt conservative class via neo-civil strife is the most hyperthetical doemstic alternative scenario for disavowing domestic debt.
 Reacting to the new Republican Presidential Candidate Mick Rockney took a line from the movie 'The Funk of Dreams' where the brain damaged offensive football lineman said 'If that plan don't work, they will come." Rockney said, "If that plan isn't replaced economic collapse may follow."
 The Executive Designer of Spaghetti-care immediately sought to place individual man-date tax structures on cable television subscription, old gay sailors homes and vacations to Hawaii in beachfront condos with fully stocked refrigerators and membership in Oahu brand floating Golf and Country Clubs.
 If social security were run with 50 different state policies without an ability for the poor to annually journey amongst states without switching legal state citizenship and coverage base it could become equally as ineffective as Spaghetti-care. Time delays implementing coverage and legal efforts to controvert citizenship status by states and insurers (i.e. the accused said he 'lived in Oklahoma 2 days already with an intent to look for work before moving on to Dallas then New Orleans, offshore then on to Florida and up the East Coast and got a hernia in Georgia working day labor for a day on the way').
 Because social security like Spaghetti care would be regarded as a tax, it would be swell to make it illegal to have coverage of Spaghetti-care or social security. Then those to poor to maintain enrollment or have Internet access, a post office box or residence in another state they look for work in each month could be regarded as outlaws and taxed whenever they became ill or were unable to afford a new car, new home, utilities and etc.
 Decades of pork barrel hybrid bill grafting have allowed expert political malpractice to develop in the nation's capital. A uniform national health care infrastructure for the poor that unified with V.A. hospital coverage networks would be the actual cheapest way to provide an affordable safety net for the poor on health, yet of course political ideology of the Congress could not allow anything realistic to exist-therefore the interminable grafting of pigs with wings in Washington D.C. continues as a chimera dancing on the horizon to media power while rational ecospheric, economic and security policy fades into the ash heap of history.

Eras of Trilobites Warming

Something like trilobites
chasing shadows over the ocean floor
one dimension of time shifts structures to the right
parallaxed professions for projects of war

Abducted nebulous secondary synecdoche is like that; a potent political meaning-dispersant
buildings with interior spaces
bar coded races
with existential places

Biomass of human life clinging to gravity
its surface of a clumped planet
flopping flounders and soles
in multi-dimensional power structures
without regard to reason

the common wealth is the green spring
salvation of the spirit
for opportune meaning
in constructions pure reason and faith

MDGs, 'Common Wealth' and Republicanism in The New World Order


If the post cold-war concept of a New World Order is to mean something besides chaos, recession and conflict with pockets of plenty here and there maybe it ought to mean an emergent common wealth of independent nations dedicated to making war on poverty in a paradigm of creating a sustainable, abundant biosphere. It is true that some human beings opt for the pure greed and intellectual abnegation of dead reckoning in which the environment and humanity is exploited or oppressed for short term profits, yet most of the world's population would choose to eliminate the problems of poverty and ecospheric destruction if they could; after all its the democratic principle.
 Jeffrey Sachs was C.E.O. of the U.N. Millennium project that made an experimental intervention in relieving poverty of nearly a half million souls in Africa and elsewhere through economic development. The program is scalable and could change the way of life for 250 million souls. The cost would be less than the Marshall Plan that spent  $65 per European following the Second World War. The cost is only about $50 per individual. Some would ask-what's in it for me in the first world?
 The phenomenon of human life on Earth is that of a biological mass for-itself presently consuming 25% of all of the life created by photosynthesis. That is an amazingly high number. Humanity is right at the edge of making the health of the other biomass in its Petrie dish plant unable to support the growing human biomass culture. The driving force for population growth, war, chaos and global warming today is poverty. Relieving the oppressed in poverty is the best way to halt population growth, global warming and ecospheric decay. The way to relieve poverty isn't through redistribution of wealth-the answer to that challenge is in creating locally sustainable economies able to interact in the world free enterprise system. That is enabling poor societies to support themselves through select financial and development aid from the rich countries to the poor is in the best interests of the rich countries as well as the poor.
 By 2050 the world population is anticipated to be about 9 billion people with just 1.2 billion in today's rich countries. The post-industrial and wealthy nations will probably spend far more on war and defense trying to sustain a global free enterprise system with a poor and oppressed third world while climate disasters are increasing than they would with an emerging world economy with few pockets of extreme poverty and bad health with preventable diseases such as malaria. Desperate people have nothing to lose in attacking advantaged and inimical corrupt nations. The poor have little besides religion for solace, while in the U.S.A. and Europe sports broadcasts and live sports spectacle has become the new opiate of the masses.
 I enjoyed reading Sach's excellent book from 2008 named 'Common Wealth'- Economics for a Crowded Planet. The future Romney administration ought to seek to fulfill the U.N. Millennium project instead of just leaving troubled Europe to carry the load of 50 billion dollars or so to get the elimination of world poverty rolling. President Obama has failed to bring the MDG program well enough to the attention of the people of the United States. Neither has the President explained to ordinary Americans why Millenium Development Goals are beneficial to even the unemployed citizens of the United States.
 I am not in complete agreement with Mr. Sachs of course. I have a far more utopian and high tech way of regarding the solutions to global economic issues, and far less regard for the general nature of human character-I suppose I tend toward the Augustinian point of view that human nature is totally depraved. I suspect that failing to take up the ideas expressed in Common Wealth will be a fulfillment of the idea that human nature is completely depraved.
 In today's partisan political environment allowing global corporatism to consolidate power the prospects for independent inventiveness becoming economically successful decreases as the populous run into the low ceiling of ubiquitous established economic power networking reinforced by government and the union of satisfied bureaucracy.
 Expecting 8 billion souls to burn fossil fuels or to afford expensive electric cars that the 1 billion can afford in the globally warming world with agricultural lands lost to encroaching rainfall failures and rising sea level is a recipe for disaster. Christians cannot morally afford to let avoidable evil occur with the excuse that God will fix it if needs to be fixed. It may be wrong to put God to the test, yet the opposite relation does not have Biblical proscription.
 Much of China's economic growth is a consequence of engaging their poor regions in the development of the national economy. In times past the United States too has effectively created the infrastructure for ending poverty through federal electrification and telephone programs. The Grand Coulee dam of Washington State is an example of government spending to create an infrastructure for economic development. Some of the post productive farmland per acre was made out of a desert directly providing food for domestic and foreign consumption.
 My opinion about nationalism differs significantly from Mr. Sachs as well. I believe that a new nationalism dedicated to transforming the United States into a vigorously healthy conservator of wildlife and the ecosphere in-itself with an economy designed with complete renewability and with a reformed capitalism that caps corporate personnel at 7,000 individuals in order to stimulate competition (and none could invest in order than three corporations) is an efficient way to make at least part of humanity spiritually enlightened without simple existential animal spirits directed people through a maze of temporal political and ecospheric confusion, misunderstanding and even failure. The cost to the United States of helping eliminate poverty in the world is in no way substantial enough that it would force a choice between either economic renewal in the U.S.A. or economic help to relieve the oppressed of the Earth.
As a biological phenomenality of life clustered around the dirt clumped by gravity humanity needs to develop a spiritual relationship with the Lord while still cognizant of the nature and existential phenomenality of the world and Universe he as provided. Human development requires sheer genius and the willingness to create far better ways of living and structures on the Earth and space than presently exist. It should also insinuate itself into a wild ecosphere as a superior being without destroying the development and evolution of that natural environment. Human civilization should move into fulfillment of the creativity it has in potential for constructing environments on Earth and space that allow less human-like life forms to exist without displacement. The resources of the natural universe used rightly by humanity should allow the increase of sustainable life rather than its decrease. Much of that increase of life well ought to be phenomenally non-human-even plants and things.

Jesus, The Good Sheperd - John 10: 7-18


The Lord describes his relationship to humanity in this passage from the book of John Chapter 10 verses 7-18.
King James Version (KJV)
"7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
8 All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them.
9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
11 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.
12 But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
13 The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the sheep.
14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.
15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.
17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father."

Boundaries of Israel Given By God to the Prophet Ezekial


The prophet Ezekial received this description for the boundaries of Israel from God.
Ezekial 47:13-23
King James Version (KJV)
13 Thus saith the Lord God; This shall be the border, whereby ye shall inherit the land according to the twelve tribes of Israel: Joseph shall have two portions.
14 And ye shall inherit it, one as well as another: concerning the which I lifted up mine hand to give it unto your fathers: and this land shall fall unto you for inheritance.
15 And this shall be the border of the land toward the north side, from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad;
16 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazarhatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran.
17 And the border from the sea shall be Hazarenan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath. And this is the north side.
18 And the east side ye shall measure from Hauran, and from Damascus, and from Gilead, and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border unto the east sea. And this is the east side.
19 And the south side southward, from Tamar even to the waters of strife in Kadesh, the river to the great sea. And this is the south side southward.
20 The west side also shall be the great sea from the border, till a man come over against Hamath. This is the west side.
21 So shall ye divide this land unto you according to the tribes of Israel.
22 And it shall come to pass, that ye shall divide it by lot for an inheritance unto you, and to the strangers that sojourn among you, which shall beget children among you: and they shall be unto you as born in the country among the children of Israel; they shall have inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.
23 And it shall come to pass, that in what tribe the stranger sojourneth, there shall ye give him his inheritance, saith the Lord God."

King Salmon in Alaska Disappear at Sea-Trawlers to Blame


Alaskan officials have cut down or banned King Salmon fishing in much of Alaska because so few of the large fish are returning. The Anchorage Daily News has an excellent informative article on the matter.
There may be several reasons for the end of healthy King Salmon runs and the usual suspects such as large ocean trawlers netting up the fish at sea, global warming, acidification, habitat loss and so forth probably all play a part. The number one suspect is the ocean trawler fleet in international waters and anyone else beyond the jurisdiction of state officials.
Evolutionary biologists that study the affect of human interaction with the ecosphere have previosly found causal links or chains of occurrence between the loss of a healthy whale population and the change of Orcas from that food source to new prey such as seals, otters and so forth. Since human beings consume 25% of all life produced by photosynthesis on the Earth they are a kind of natural, thoughtless eating machine something like a major player in a laboratory culture. With coordinated intelligent thought that level of ecospheric interaction is probably sustainable, yet it requires very intelligent, judicious selection by design for renewing health ecosphere characteristics.
If the King salmon population is just in some kind of physical bi-polar mood swing that will reverse towards the positive side one day then it will be possible to get that 100 pound King on the line and into the freezer again, if one has a freezer and electricity to power it not generated by CO2 producing coal fired power plants.
It would be really good if all that carbon could be made into some kind of high-tech building product with some extra elements cooked in.

U.S. Supreme Court Upholds Right of Arizona Law Enforcement to Check Immigration Status


The Supreme Court decided unanimously that Arizona police officers may check the immigration status of people they stop. Three minor parts of the Arizona law were struck as being in conflict with Federal law. This was a key defeat for Obama administration policy seeking to provide Mexican Homeland Security and the right to cross the U.S. border bootleg style.
Different ways of spinning the same result are highlighted below in the links to Reuters, the BBC and U.S.A. Today's news reports.



The Obama administration held that it was illegal for Arizona law enforcement officers to check the immigration status of people they stop for whatever reason. Their opinion was evidently that only the Federal Government can enforce immigration issues. The Supreme Court seems to hold that states may reinforce Federal laws yet not contradict or subvert them.

The Arizona law requires police officers to check the immigration status of people they stop for whatever reason-not simply after perpetrators are arrested. The Obama administration effort to prefer Mexican Homeland Security over U.S. Homeland Security in this election year may not be well support his election bid. If Condolizza Rice is the V.P. choice Romney would win in a landslide - not even 12 million Latino votes would help.

In 2050 there will be a world population of at least 9 billion with just a little more than 1 billion in present first world nations. If the U.S.A. plans to remain a self-determining nation with a sustainable economy based on its own resources it will need to get started directly instead of insinuating itself into a status as economic exploiter of those human resources as employees and consumers of declining natural resources.

Americans should lead the world toward sustainable national economies without radical shifts of population toward production areas of scare resources and temporary jobs that can lead the world over the edge of demographic-ecospheric viability precedded by chaos and conflict.

Voyager 1 at the Edge


The ancient spacecraft launched in 1977 keeps going onward and upward toward interstellar space with primitive computer chips to guide it. At the edge of the solar system where unusual U.F.O.'s visiting skies in Arizona could be mirthfully planning jaunts to perplex locals the Voyager 1 tiny spacecraft is finding more intense cosmic rays. The charged particles from the sun that evidently fade out at the heliopause don't screen out the interstellar stuff so far away.
By the year 2050 it is believed that the world's carbon dioxide parts per million level will reach the critical 561 level thus doubling what it was in 1890. The world atmospheric temperature ought to be 2 decrees centigrade warmer compared to what it should-and that might cascade a plethora of undesirable changes upon the people of the Earth.

http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn21969-sealevel-rise-accelerates-faster-on-us-east-coast.html?DCMP=OTC-rss&nsref=online-news
A next generation Voyager interstellar mission using an ion drive and with better instruments to measure the beyond the heliopause environment should be launched containing all kinds of relevant data on human caused global warming economic actions in order to keep a record for any potential survivors of the possible approaching global disaster 'out there'.

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.
