New I.C.E. Chief SImilar to G.W. Bush's F.E.M.A. Director Michael Brown

Janet Napolitano's appointment of the new interim director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement John Sandweg-a thirty-eight year old defense attorney without law enforcement experience who raised campaign funds for Napolitano as Arizona Governor seems like G.W. Bush's appointment of Michael Brown to lead F.E.M.A. before the Hurricane Katrina disaster. Neither Brown nor Sandweg had relevant experience for the job.

It is disappointing when democracy fails to rise above patronage and nepotism in its higher level politics for that inevitably produces the worst results and lowest common denominator social development for the citizens of the United States. Even a former Marine General, or a West Point graduate with special operations experience such as Stanley McCrystal could better defend the border of the United States from foreign infiltration.

The new I.C.E. director should be aware of foreign ownership of shipping and rail corporations owned by foreign nationals that can provide inside job entry for containers with nuclear detonation packages even to New York City. Just one intermodal container loaded with semtex delivered via ship and rail to distribution points on the east coast could potential ruin the whole day of a few people. President Obama should not put up John Sandweg Esq. for the permanent post.

Elon Musk Reveals ET3 Hypertube Transportation Concept

The hypertube is an adult-sized transportation infrastructure concept relevant to the mass transportation challenges of the modern Earth social network. As it is the fossil fuel automobile infrastructure is leading to ecospheric decay and accelerating global warming greenhouse gassing and mass extinction.

The hypertube would accelerate cargo modules as much as 4000 m.p.h. from New jersey to London via Fairbanks Alaska. It isa bold plan of the sort that America was once known for before it became introverted and recalcitrant to try large scale engineering projects. It may be that a global hypertube network would have more potential for human species survivability of the coming global ecospheric heating catastrophe developing the next two hundred years leading perhaps to a population crash down to 200 million  souls. Who can say?

I like it. For the last quarter century I've used the generic concept in science fiction stories such as Vank Island. Robert Goddard of course wanted to build an electro-magnetic linear motor such as in naval electric artillery or the metalstorm guns, yet to accelerate to orbital escape velocity specific modules one would need a vacuum in a tube before reaching the muzzle at 25,000 m.p.h. where friction would kick in. Keeping a vacuum at low speeds under 5000 should be simpler.

Waves Over Nothingness ©2013Garrison Clifford Gibson

Waves arose with the stirring of wind on a surface

reflecting clouds, sky and mountains piled like time

though they had no effect on what I thought

when fresh sounds of breakers arrived

It was easy to forget the way

seeing was believing in depth percepts of dimension and content

reality structured like a cold or hot field illusion

an entanglement of echoes

temporal shadows serving for climbers climbing over others

striving for life in attics in pinnacles of power

Jesus asked what profit has a man if he gains the world and loses his own soul?

Saying as well that those saving their life would lose it

and losing it for His sake find it

where the world is a maze of temporal avenues, individual cul de sacs

and round abouts of reason wearing out

like voiceovers of personal doubt by the world-for-others moving on

The way is white noise and silence together

building everything upon nothing

a mud puddle, a tree; the long and winding road

populated with no one interested in meaning

when driving somewhere through a social network

has solely tolls of lost opportunity costs

collected like leaves gathered unto dust

with the sun setting low in the sky

when stars seem to appear through the rising twilight

leading to the night

continuum of deep appearance

that was farther away at first light

drawing closer like a Universal wall of meaning

when depth perceptions and dimensions

inflate to a fuller congruence with time and space

The shock of understanding isn't so much as a lightening bolt

a trillion synaptic clicks of ideas put together with bits

like brilliant and blinding sunrise

unconcerned with anything except the realization of the love of God

structuring holistic complexity

a resurrection of temporal light surging beyond oblivion-

the shore of non-being infiltrated everywhere

with everything existing a denial of the nothingness

forever breaking down and reclaiming what is and what becomes memory

-something without oneself

that one is too young to recognize

or too old to hold on to

as life and everything breathing slips away

the personal end of the Universe-for-oneself before the Universe-for-others

the Lord is the hope in faith passing over the final nihilism

that the proud have sought to wrap as a cloak upon beingness

for-themselves.

Post I-Pad Evolution To Multi-Manufacturers of Components for Two Surface Hinged Platform?

Open source computer hardware packages ahead? A computer tablet is a packed video screen with a flat, minimal computer.. Two flat surfaces connected with a hinge was popular in 20th century binders. Using one surface for a solar panel and letting the two surfaces stand up as an upside down V is a practical way to set up a video screen-maybe with a flat processor in the other flat surface. Shouldn't development of the post-tablet era include a wireless full-size keyboard for writers? Why not a two-surface metal tablet into which component parts can snap from a variety of manufacturers so consumers could build their own screen, processor, solar panel, hard drive, keyboard unit as they can afford and prefer with competition from producers of individual components driving down the price?

It ought to be possible to use a hinged two-surface tablet with a minimal flat screen or a five-foot HD screen as need arises with use a square peg in a square hole kind of simplicity. Producers that do not manufacture entire computers could sell their computer components for a basic two-surface hinged tablet directly to users instead of as subcontractors  on occasion to computer manufacturers.

Packing a portable computer into one or two surfaces has evolved over the decades...

Conscientious Objector to Sin & Military Service; The New Paradigm

Traditionally conscientious objection to military service was in reaction the sin of taking human life. It might also be because a corrupt executive selects an impossibly dumb, uninteresting war to practice. The transcendent basis for conscientious objection is recognition of sin. All sin is sin. Because President Obama has made a new sin government policy- the sin of homosexuality and homosexual marriage- an official element of U.S. military service he has expanded the parameters for conscientious objector status to military conscription beyond homicide.

Biblically speaking one sin is generally equal with other sins in being harmful to human souls. The sin of homosexuality is proscribed equally with taking human life intentionally. Thou shalt not kill, commit adultery, steal, maliciously lie or perpetrate homosexuality and so forth with any kind of a clear conscience. One knows sin is wrong even in the era of an evolving Nietzschic Beyond Good and Evil social morality convenient to global marketing, added to by the commercial mass media and encouraged in schools around the nation to create a class of malleable dupes serving to redistribute wealth and power to global Plutonomy.

If the United States ever again has military conscription those compelled to federal military service probably will need to exclude straight Christians or other potential soldiers of faith whom could not war against God's laws in order to facilitate expansion of an immoral, sinful imperium.

Half of Ocean Phytoplankton Species Might Bite the Dust by 2100

Global warming of the atmosphere to recent record levels may bring many changes to the existing ocean phytoplankton content a recent report informs. Stresses upon the smallest level creatures of the ocean food chain could make them bite the water to be replaced by other species more suitable for a the ghetto ocean environment of low nutrient content and higher acid levels.The new cruel conditions may benefit some and make losers of others. Overall the ocean biomass could decrease I would guess. Half of the species may disappear or be reduced to a tiny, marginalized portion of ocean phytoplankton content.

http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=sweeping-change-in-phytoplankton

A tougher, leaner ocean phytoplankton soup may make the menu change difficult for larger predators to adapt to. Scientists are studying the possible effects upon more than a 100 species of phytoplankton of global warming. One hopes they are coordinating with other scientists on how to stimulate the growth of phytoplankton that might maintain the present balance in warmer, more desertified, less healthier, more acidic and warmer ocean water. It may be that a natural balance is most suitable for the health of the future seas instead of phytoplankton species tweaking that would in effect be a transition to ocean farming. Earth land farms while wonderful productive of food tend to desertify the ecosphere's diversity.

Logic, Language, Truth and Philosophy

One might wonder what is the truth about words and their meaning? Is truth an abstract thing in-itself or is it just a correct presentation of language structure? Words are tools for expressing meaning. The meaning of words exists or occurs within language structure without which the words are just sounds or scribbling of art. It is probable that in the history of the development of a language that words acquired meanings in general use that become part of a vocabulary and lexicon in such a way that the prior use was an ossification and existed thereafter as a potential meaning that any user of the language might encounter. Even the potential for inventing new synthetic words combining existing word-meanings may be latent within a language. The potential for the development of a language may coincide with the actual emergence of words. 

That existence of a real of forms of language that exists as scaffolding for making meaningful expressions may be the truth about a Platonic realist paradigm apropos for a language. Once a word is added or developed for a language it enters a realm of forms existing for all users in potential. Words are nominal in themselves and with have realist characteristic perhaps something like Kripke described simultaneously. There are great and perhaps even an infinite range of definitions of a word even as it has a particular bound value. It is something as if a word was like a quantum particle with limits expressible in Heisenberg's uncertainty principle. A word quanta might be anywhere or have any meaning until used or sampled at which time its meaning arrives as a waveform collapse into a meaning. Even so there is a realm of forms that a word might be able to take, and that meaning is implicit in the Higgs Field slots for it.

We might wonder if the analogy to quantum world lines and words doesn't differ a lot at that point where a Higgs field and slots available for the emergence of any quanta is predetermined with the general scaffolding of a language or of a force field. Word quanta seem to have more freedom for use than the somewhat natural determinism of a quantum field in which the allocation of force overall conforms to the boundary condition.

Still, words are just symbols of sound utterances with meaning in the modern context with similarities to numbers that may be placed in lists, classified as types or grouped in various ways with whatever meaning-values a user may give them with whatever distribution of understanding the users have. Truth theories are many while falsehoods are simpler to define. Jesus Christ is the Truth in-Himself yet for others truth is a relational concept, or verificationist of meaning, accuracy and relevance to a relationship amidst words and propositional logical about it.

Words have an implicit meaning uncertainty that accommodates the capacity for unlimited expressions of meaning in whatever form is selected or developed. A word may mean different things to different people, between the sender and receiver as well as in different social lexicons. Falsehoods made intentionally within a given social criterion may have a negative or positive effect contingent upon the circumstance, yet generally dissimulation creates erosion in the meaning of the language structure something like a continuum of false accounting practices or dissimulative securities trading may erode the health of Wall Street besides excess concentration of wealth. Social structures determine the effect of falsehoods in social exchanges of words.  Individuals have different ideas and expectations about words and concepts expressed by others. More than a few view language use today a substitute for productive material and social reform-sophism to grease the skids of corruption, concentration of wealth, globalism, environmental exploitation and ossification of an oppressive hierarchical media, government and business infrastructure. Use-truths promulgated for power by organizations may be just noises made rather thoughtlessly by the organs of state in the perennial input of energy. 

Because Jesus Christ is Truth itself social structure develop or decline through the vicissitudes of evolving decades of belief or unbelief with determinative effect upon moral theory and practice. It is interesting that when Jesus was talking with the women at the well he could look inside her thought, perhaps discerning her character and describe her past. On occasion The Lord looked into the deeper thought of an individual mind-spirit and discerned the relation of an individual to the realm of of truth. A philosophy of language and logic might have a similar, lesser ability to discern the relation of the nominal to the real realm of forms in which it exists.

A New Evil Empire

An agency of evil and immorality must needs be resisted by the conscientious. Federal policies away from perennial reform and renormalization of democracy that reinforce sin, Plutonomy and an emerging planetary imperium are onerous burdens to place upon U.S. citizens that are not rich. The latest evil is the change to military policy announced by Sect. of Defense Hagel regarding homosexual marriage.

When Sect. Hagel said that he would make homosexual marriage normalized in the U.S. military within 30 days since the Supreme Court ruled the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional he in effect made sin the official policy of the U. S. military following the lead of President Barrack Obama and the corrupted Supreme Court. For many people of faith the acts of the U.S. Government seem consistent with the description of the Babylon the Great political role of the book of the Revelation and the U.S. Government's movement toward the sin of homosexuality and serving as the killing tool of the global oligarchy of the new world order confirmation of the drive toward apocalypse. Conscientious objector status to military service of evil may develop a new and unconventional reason. Besides objecting to taking human life, and the U.S. Government has killed more souls than any other in the world the past 30 or 40 years, conscientious objectors to homosexual marriage may refuse military service for a government forcing homosexuality upon the masses of the United States and the world so far as it can.

The reason for the trend toward the U.S. Government becoming evil instead of reformed has two simultaneous explanations. One is the secular Plutonomy that has taken over the world order co-opting democracy and ruling through corrupted elites while concentrating wealth. Those people may be concerned with planetary over-population and also need a new militant corrupt cause to use as an excuse for war upon poor, underdeveloped nations that resist homosexual social increase. The U.S. military has evolved to become the tool for enforcing the will of plutocrats upon the world. With broadcast media outlets a torrent of propaganda paradigms to support plutocratic policy has emerged. Local political autonomy is suppressed and the will of plutocrats for the masses becomes a string pulling game with sycophantic masses.

The second reason is teleological for the lead of a corrupt and most powerful world government under the authority of the anti-Christ is a well-known aspect of the end time's prophecy of the Bible. These things were inevitable for political and teleological reasons.

Satan has exploited homosexual encroachment of marriage-a ludicrous oxymoron-to make folly of humanity again on its way toward doom from a variety of social and ecospheric causes. When the government of the United States under the influence of atheists evolved a financial Plutonomy with a broadcast media as its propaganda and dissimulation outlet democracy was slowly neutralized and subverted by the lackeys of Satan without much interest in U.S. national interest. The globalists ruling the U.S.A. from Wall Street are an evolution of evil, a personification of Satan and an abomination to private enterprise within a human scale context of fairness and economic justice for all. They also repressed Gillette's best-ever shave crème-The Hot One-and have made the patent process unresponsive toward the real needs of poor inventors.

One might hope for the destruction of the U.S. Government's evolution into the beast of abomination. The Obama support of Bush Two tax cuts twice was a plain vote for Plutonomy and the evolution of wickedness with a permanent hegemony of treasonous international Wall Street oligarchs having their way with things political in the U.S.A.  One must wait upon the Lord with these things.  The Lord Jesus did foretell all of these things two thousand years ago approximately. It is not as if we weren't informed.

U.S. Blunt Instrument Diplomacy With Russia

The administration is unhappy with Vladimir Putin for giving temporary sanctuary to N.S.A. whistle blower Edward Snowden. Sen. Chuck Schumer calls Russia a bully for giving refuge to the man that revealed the N.S.A. is monitoring all of the phone calls made in the world so far as it can. The Democrat approach to surveillance seems closer to that of Stalin than Putin's these days. There must be alternative means to disclosing information to the public-perhaps a list of phone intercepts two years from violation, without giving the terrorists helpful data.

Iran's new President has also made overtures to America on better relations. Traditionally America takes a blunt instrument out way or the highway approach to diplomacy and that should change. Pouting and taking the ball home instead of continuing play cuts off every available alternative opportunity for progress. It isn't simply a coincidence that America's economy is in decline because of the absolutarian approach to global capitalism concentrating wealth in the upper .01%. Maybe U.S. politicians rise too their level of incompetence and are used to a das baughed electorate that doesn't effective protest anything so they assume that they can bully everyone on the planet too.

Sect. Kerry should pursue other avenues of progress and human social development with the traditional 'enemies' of the United States while the administration ought to tone down its blunt instrument approach to international diplomacy.

Hamburger Grown From Cattle Cells in Holland

One wonders if there are any moral issues about growing meat in a laboratory? It could free up land for conservation perhaps, yet the cattle growing business is technical quite sophisticated these days. Would it be wrong to treat biological life in such a way? It is not a wild sort of thing obviously and rather distasteful. It could be practical enough to develop though. Meat grown in warehouses could be a way to provide food for the hungry.

If the laboratory meat could be fed just chemicals easy to get from dirt it might be really practical.
