Obama 2nd Term: Increase Debt, Decrease Jobs, Prosperity and Guns

For the past 39  months fewer than 59% of working age Americans had jobs, the trade deficit with China was about 300 billion dollars in 2011. Half a million jobs are outsourced to China each year, more than 100 million Americans are enrolled in some federal welfare program. These and other facts are from a list of 75 economic facts at...

By the end of the 2nd Obama term the middle class and poor will have continued to wither and the public debt will be about 21 trillion dollars. Considering that no Presidential candidate is likely to have real economic policy able to balance the budget and start paying down the debt, it will only increase to grow and annual interest payments on the debt will be a trillion dollars.

With such a future the Democrat Party may be frightened of American gun ownership down the road. It might be easier to disarm the public and put them all on happy drugs transforming the populous into a kind of opium den without much cognizance of social reality.

Democrats Want Rape of 2nd Amendment To Show Power

Tragically as many as 30 people are killed each year with assault weapons in the U.S.A. In a nation of more than 300 million with more than 30 million legal visitors each year that percent is very small. America has remained a free society with liberal gun ownership, and the traditional wisdom is if it's not broke don't fix it. Democrat Party efforts to break down gun ownership may simply be a show of force and the entitlement to power of feminism. As feminist wisdom goes, rape is a show of power. Cutting down the male dominated gun purchases tradition may be a means to show power raping the second amendment.

This morning I went into a U.S. Federal building to get a few tax forms in order to report my income for 2012 early. I was informed by the security guards at the admission station by the metal detector that the tax office had moved away several hundred miles and that they had no forms in the building. I thought about the security a little and of its cost.

A federal worker was let through a special no-search gate. The peons of the public should wear no shoelaces if they visit because they must take their shoes off, and belt off, take out their coins and of course there are no chairs to sit in. One must leave one's knife someplace outside too.

I should say that knives are necessary for boaters to cut lines in emergencies such as if a skiff is tied to a sinking water-logged log towed off a beach and the boat is tarting to go under, and guns are useful for killing a pack of attacking wild dogs along the Yukon-and they do exist. Even a school teacher from Wisconsin was killed while out jogging by a wolf last year-she was of course unarmed and looked like prey in flight.

Have federal security guards ever stopped a truck bomber from detonating outside a federal building by screening inside? Since the federal government hires so many immigrants couldn't one of the federal workers themselves take a gun to work to shoot down his bosses?

With the Democratic effort to use psychiatrists as informers will that occupation need to Mirandize their patients with the warning that 'Anything you say can and may be used against you in a court of law'? The effort to transform psychiatrists into an intelligence gathering branch of the K.G.B.,or rather Homeland Security/Gestapo is probably the worst part of the raping of the second amendment.

Some would think that if guns are restricted overmuch that the small percent of people killed by guns that are not weapons of mass destruction may be supplanted by searches for weapons of mass destruction to get political satisfaction. It doesn't take a genius to realize that SUV gas tanks can have a spark plug placed in them and wired to the ignition, or that magnetically attached detonators can be placed on hundreds of cars with an hour or two before going off. The inventiveness of some of the very frustrated denied equal rights and the opportunity to be armed in self-defense may lapse from armed neutrality into a state of innovative direct opposition.

If some Phd or M.A. in biology invents a new plague in a basement perhaps gathering naturally occurring anthrax in Cuba, or improves Hanta virus or whatever with all of the genomic data available on line the causality count might be thousands of times greater than the 30 or so casualities that happen in America-such as at the California McDonald's massacre decades ago.

Guns have always been an integral part of American civil liberty-and women have tended to shy away from them when not frontiers women. Women, minorities and homosexuals do comprise a new majority willing to sacrifice the second amendment that is not coincidentally placed after the first in order to recognize the need for public defense of free speech with armed potential violence. Yet the groups seeking to rape the second amendment as a show of power are those groups that have never been leaders in the military defense of the United States against enemies of freedom foreign and domestic. It would be good if they took a deep philosophical look at the chasm they seek to leap off before they work further to destroy a state of civil liberty that isn't broken.

Philosophical Ideas On Cosmology and Phase-space

Physical laws of the Universe (1) logically are manifestations of one force. An initial force in various forms and permutations equivalent to mass in sundry, evolved configurations seems the nature of things. The paradox of an initial force or of an initial allotment of force is something to consider and define. What would be the parameters or boundaries of an initial force of which space and time may be contingencies?

 Is it bigger than a breadbox as a potential quantum fact? Is it monistic or plural? Why should the force ever divide itself and become plural even unto having spacing. Once such a force exists it ought to expand and dissipate itself in entropy if a negative space exists and if the force is finite. Yet what if the force is infinite? What boundaries would it have and what would forms would they take?

 Lee Smolin and Roberto Unger were working on a book in 2010 named a The Reality of Time and the Nature of the PhysicalCosmos. Some working through The Perimeter Institute have added recently to the philosophical and scientific tool kit of contemplations for thinking about the Universe (1). Smolin and a few others have developed a theory of an 8 dimensional Universe combining four dimensions of space-time and another four dimensions of momentum-space in phase-space. Momentum space was, I believe, a concept invented by Max Born.

 The question of is it a Universe or a multiverse seems secondary in philosophical considerations to the phenomenal nature of the initial force prior to the manifestation of time. Can time ever be separable from space? Can space be created that doesn't originally exist or must energy and mass flow into a pre-existing infinite space and/or nothingness?

 Some have considered Darwinian evolution as a model for the way physical laws and perhaps multiverses may evolve. Evolution of biological forms occurs within the energy field of the initial force though. Scientific reductionism to understand the development of the Universe extrapolating from observed or functioning physical law theories applied to life leads one to assume that the advantage of larger clumps of atoms and molecules is in the overall strength of mass and energy localized in a star or in a starfish. Gravitational force drawing mass together is an example problem for consideration of the question of why an initial force would be separate at any point in time to start with?

Treasury Secretary prospect Jack Lew is said to be a revolving door K Streeter that worked for CityGroup with Robert Rubin earning a couple million dollars doing the sort of trading Democrats sought to ban as responsible for the financial collapse of 2008. It's the same old stuff one expects of the Clintonistas that constructed with deregulation the corruption of Wall Street banks and of course Jack  Lew was part of that too with 8 years working for President Bill including a stint running the Office of Management and Budget.

http://washingtonexaminer.com/tim-carney-jack-lew-from-k-street-to-wall-street-to-treasury/article/2518326

Democrats don't care about Wall Street corruption, Republicans profit from it. The unemployed need to worry about President Obama's efforts to add 15 million more revolving door Mexicans to the cheap labor force. With high unemployment and China moving into Cancun and more jobs going south it doesn't seem like work prospects the next four years are good.

It seems unconscionable to consider making illegal aliens legal; rather than asking them to go back through that revolving door to Mexico with U.S. unemployment about 8% and real underemployment about 20%. Mexico isn't a distant third world nation, it's a second world nation that is quite nice. It's illegal immigrants don't join a melting pot as might someone from Bangladesh who can't just go back home on the bus at the end of a work day to Juarez. Adding 15 million dual citizenship Mexicans to the work force would further degrade the job prospects for single passport Americans along the border and elsewhere about whom the Democrats who are 'a party of the middle class' seem to think they just need to slop with four years of unemployment checks and food stamps.

D.H.S. Warns of Java Vulnerability to Hackers-Oracle Patch 7u11 released

I didn't know that D.H.S. tests software for programming vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit. Evidently Java has one, and Sun Systems said they will fix it soon.

I guess D.H.S. has its own top-quality hackers to find ways to eye down the bad guys and gals. Its good they reported one they found.

The recommendation is to temporarily disable Java. If one has firefox its easy to disable Java; simply go to add-ons and select plug ins and click the disable Java button.

Quantum Apocalypse/Holograpahic Universe (video) and My Comments on Dynamic Subjectivism

Since John Dewey popularized the notion that reality and language are subjective various forms of non-realism reinforced with existential thought, even the General Theory of Relativity and more have developed the notion that 'nothing is real'. There are numerous popular videos on youtube on 'The Holographic Universe' and the new foundation in quantum mechanics. Here is one I enjoyed quite a lot.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4dpRPTwsKJs&list=PLB08DD52041319BEF&index=5

I agree that the perception and experience of reality is a phenomenon of mind existing in a quantum field that is interpreted by the brain. I think though that while reality is constructed through a subjective brain-mind channel, there is still something objective to interpret. If one brain-mind interprets Alaskan winters in a tent as cold, so would about anyone else in that circumstance. The quantum forces that produce the potential for cold to be experienced cohere within a steady state of quantum entanglement that determines the potential realm of experience of an observer.

The Holographic Universe videos present an artful and philosophical view of reality with some credibility. A human mind-brain interprets quantum data into a field image and sense data experience, yet the potential to make an image of reality is limited to the quantum material that exists. The brain-mind-observer may determine a particular point of view from all potential worldlines however I do not think the probability states of the quantum realm is anarchic or disordered. An observer may observe just those states that can exist amidst all the possible states. I believe that the probability entanglement status of the solid state Universe (1) is entirely subjective existentially and the possibilities of viewing it through observation are objective while the experience is subjective, so I have a somewhat different opinion of the topic of the videos.

I like the video. I can accept the Berkleyan position of pure ideaism with the theological perspective of a Christian as well as the notion of scientific subjectivism.

Alaska Salmon FIshery Management and-Better Tlingit Tech-knowledge

In days of yore the S.E. Alaska salmon fishery was managed by native Tlingits in such a way that a sustainable fishery existed. The region had permanent fish traps located at streams the salmon returned to spawn in negating the need for motorized quests in competition-with-others at sea. Harvest in fish traps allows a careful measure of salmon taken and precludes significant catch-cheating.

The fish trap caught salmon were taken in a sustainable quantity. After being gutted on-the-spot the fish eggs and then sperm were taken and put in the creek to assure a plentiful return. Fish caught by boats never place fertilized eggs in appropriate creek locations today. Instead fish hatcheries raise hatchlings in remote locations without growing naturally in Alaska rivers. The Yukon River should have such a method to restore the fishery to health.

If such a program was used today the at-sea harvesting by U.S.and foreign vessels ought to be halted to let a full recover of fish populations with right-of-return exist. Today the formerly 100 pound Chinook are increasingly of girlie-man size and number, where they exist at all.

Will 2013 Be the Year For Accelerated Arctic Ice Pack Melting?

The year 2012 brought the warmest year on record in the U.S.A. as well as the smallest Arctic ice pack. At some point one might guess that progressive atmospheric warming, and warming of the Arctic Ocean will bring accelerated ice pack melting, as in ice covering a mud puddle that is slow to defreeze one day and increases it melting in time. Maybe it's this year, maybe next decade yet that increased melting rate may develop.

The American Broadcast Media is an Automatic Assault Weapon That Should Be Banned

The American broadcast media is an assault weapon dumbing-down the U.S. electorate-those are the people eligible to vote. It should be banned or carefully restricted through stoppage of federal sales of broadcast wavelengths to the public. Instead those finite wavelengths should be given over to individual citizen podcast rebroadcast use through public computer facilities akin to public highway facilities. Without the presence of individual broadcast entrepreneurs by the millions many of whom are graduates the development of good political sense is defeated a priori. The assault weapon of media ignorance and 'entertainment' continues to build an elite of corruption over the masses.

In days of yore the media was a respectful presenter of 'news'. After the development of cable and the Internet they morphed into some form of predatory wolfen men and women raving at the mooned public.

Select Dark Energy Theories Put to the Test and Found Wanting

Dark energy theories have developed to explain the fairly recently discovered accelerating expansion of the Universe. Many of those theories exploit dark energy (an unknown) for an explanation. Those theories often postulate that the proton to electron mass ratio, which is a fundamental constant, had a different value in the early Universe. Thompson used the new Hubble ultra-deep field photos to show that the proton to electron mass ratio hasn't changed.

http://phys.org/news/2013-01-dark-energy-alternatives-einstein-room.html#ajTabs

Einstein initially developed a theory of a constant cosmological force that would cancel out the effects of gravity that should, if it were not neutralized, draw the mass of the Universe toward a collapse and crunch to a singularity like that hypothesized at the start of Universe (1). Dark energy is regarded as being that force offsetting and overcoming gravity at large scales yet theories about a particular form it might take appear incorrect.

Einstein's cosmological constant was good while people believed the Universe was in something of a steady state. When Edwin Hubble observed that the Universe (1) is expanding Einstein decried his own cosmological constant saying that it was a booboo. For some reason it didn't occur to anyone back in the day that a cosmological constant was still needed to make the Universe (1) expand even more.

Rather than being a form of energy-another particle, the cosmological constant could have any of a zoo of theoretical causes from extra dimensions changing relationships or size to probability entanglement quantum structures without spacetime.
