Helium.com Slowly Erases the Author

I encountered one of my articles at Helium.com and checked the author page. After being banned from that web site Christmas 2010 my content there-several hundred articles have continued to be sold while my photo has been deleted along with most personally identifying information. Fortunately I published all of my articles in books and elsewhere so I can successfully defend authorship if I need too. My concern is the really rotten treatment that web page gives to authors they deem to be politically incorrect ( I was regarded as antipathetic to the homosexual agenda and rightly so where it concerns corrupting the institution of marriage).

Corporate pimps ought not exploit authors so badly as Helium-it's simply the bad faith treatment of writers that are poor and really put a lot in to their work in difficult circumstances. I would prefer they delete all of my articles instead of continuing to profit from them. That seems crooked and I cannot afford lawsuits.

U.S. Foreign Policy as Good As U.S. Bi-Partisanship in Congress

The United States since the last clever, innovative President who understood the nature of the American people- the late Ronald Reagan- has significantly deteriorated its foreign and domestic standing. As the economy increasingly worsens rotting from the inside out the stock market has risen over its all-time high at 16,000. That's a result of concentrating wealth because of the political correctness and recalcitrance of the Congress and Presidents after the end of the cold war top act responsibly as egalitarian citizens of a democracy and tax the rich progressively rather than regressively. President Obama is the latest incarnation of giving the people of the United Sates a pacifier-President rather than and economic reformer. America's domestic policy failures are consistent with its foreign policy failures.

It isn't reasonable to expect the U.S. Government to make any sort of realistic deal with Iran on stopping the development of nuclear weapons. Eventually Israel will need to make an air assault and take out the Arak nuclear plant itself and bear the consequences. Iran will get over that and maybe still have a good relationship with the hillbilly's of Washington D.C. that are better at posturing and feuding than real politick.

One can't rely on Rush Limbaugh to fix things either in spite of the acclaimed new book Rush Revere. One wonders if Mr. Limbaugh ever rode a horse.

Giving the children of the U.S. a common inheritance of a healthy and recovering global ecosphere is as important as giving them a personal family inheritance of hard-earned dollars that the public has no right to usurp. It is important to regulate business such that large organizations public or private do not hog all the wealth and opportunity. The diner's and prisoner's dilemmas paradigms are reasons why government and talk radio hosts advocate tax cuts for the rich, deregulation of big business and corporate health care (Obamacare). The President gives what strategists believe are opiates to the masses of marijuana, homosexuality and illogically proffered health care while the domestic economy rots. 

  

Because of the deficient and ill-conceived domestic policy leadership the foreign policy of the United States sucks too. The nation spies upon its allies leaders and flunks nuclear limitations with North Korea. The food for stopping nuclear production policy of the Clinton administration was an abject failure, the administration is so cool on reinforcing the Iraq government that that nation is on the brink of sectarian war and Afghan leader Karzai won't sign off on the Loyajurga's will to have U.S. troops remain after 2014 just because he wants to stay alive after leaving office and enjoy is wealth is Gstadd or wherever one would think. Who wants to be blamed for having U.S. troops remain in Afghanistan if they aren't going to be President and control the troops for a decade or two?

American government prefers feuding for the simple reason that it's easy to publicize good and bad guys to a nation of comic book readers. It's also difficult to change the villains for writing and entertainment purposes. It was really a problem to stop making Boris and Natasha the villains until Al Qae'da arrived and maintaining bad relations with Iran was easier too.

When the Iranian revolution happened I was working in a kitchen with Iranian cooks that had very large knives for cutting meat. That was a little uncomfortable yet because I graduated a computer programming course I moved on. America can also move on despite the risk of possibly redeveloping a neutron bomb capacity to liberate Iranian leaders from worry about their infrastructure being vaporized if a war occurs.

Seriously though, the United States had good relations so far as there were any in the 1930s with Iran. An American economist was the basic adviser to the government and Iran did very well at developing its economy. After the Second World War and the start of the cold war the inability to understand the Muslim world very well led the Eisenhower administration to support a coup against the Iranian government to restore monarchy. The Brits of course goaded us on because the Iranian government had nationalized the British owned oil fields. Foreign control of Iranian natural resources had long been a source of trouble even amidst the troubled Iranian social rivals for power. That coup wasn't necessary; there wasn't much chance of a communist takeover in a Muslim country although theorists didn't know that then, so the United States started a lasting progression of bad relations with the people of Iran. And of course our preference for business imperialism continues to this day as the people of the U.S.A. become poorer while the rich globally become richer.

Iran then has the difficult problem of negotiating with a disingenuous American partner that does want to halt nuclear weapons development honestly yet simultaneously prefers what are neo-imperial economic developments globally. Since the cold war ended U.S. leadership has forgotten what democracy is and taken a turn for deregulated existential Spenserian capitalism. Morally the leadership seems taken by the devil so right wing politicians in Iran and the United States (fewer perhaps) can rightly find a wealth of criticism of the U.S. Government opportunity.

Bill Clinton claimed to be able to chew gum and walk at the same time. That was probably an exaggeration since he worked for the government and keeping two foreign and domestic policy initiatives going concurrently such as promoting small business and individualism while regulating big business adequately domestically and becoming good friends with Iran while halting their nuclear development and strongly supporting Israel would just be too much. U.S. leadership would probably inhale the gum and require a tracheotomy with whatever knife some passerby has in her pocket.

Matter of Spirit (poems) video

I read a few poems from my most recent book over video of S.E. Alaska.

If Homos Can Marry Shouldn't White Males Be Regarded as Black for Equal Affirmative Action?

Homosexual militants often compare their desire to expropriate heterosexual marriage for themselves to the racial problems of black Americans. That comparison is silly.  Black is not a behavior. Enslaving souls is behavior. Homosexuality is behavior, pregnancy is physical. One ought not set up separate legal status for behavior if possible, except as it is necessary to have criminal laws for bad behavior.

Including homosexuality in the traditional heterosexual paradigm for marriage is as wrong as including  straight white males in affirmative action for blacks.

Someone has to pay for the wealth of benefits homosexuals want to expropriate from heterosexuals-and that would be single individuals-especially youth whom already will be required to buy health insurance they don't generally need.

In my opinion citizens that practice homosexuality,  public nose-picking, race car driving or spelunking already are treated equally. If they want to heterosexually marry they are free to do so.

I stipulated in the original article that there are some with congenital sex identity issues. 

Nevertheless one doesn't want to get rid of criminal proceeding just because a few innocent people are convicted. The better course is to improve the applications of the legal process and change the social conditions that lead to crime.

Because some people are maladjusted sexually that does not mean that the most socially effective course would be to abolish traditional marriage integrity. Instead homosexuals or any others for reasons besides perverted lust might form a different institution somewhere within business law. 

That might be a partnership for individuals with whatever special conditions homosexuals think they need to be legally tangled up. Make no mistake, hermaphrodites are usually infertile and those with odd genetic combinations and sex paraphernalia leading them toward non-heterosexuality are not a social norm, although polar bears have had increasing incidents of hermaphroditism because of pervasive estrogen contamination in water due to industrial waste-products.

Because some people are born like old people as children with odd disease, or are dwarves and short as children, that is not a good argument for letting adults pay a child's bus fare so they have equality. The real differences amidst social classes given different rates are made with the idea that people are not equal in all things. 

America was not always a wicked nation forsaking its forefathers and mother's traditions. Though Americans today did not fight a civil war and mostly did not fight in the Second World War much less the revolutionary war they are quick to give away their inherited civil rights, border security and comparative advantages in an existential way rather than strengthen them.

 Homo partnerships with particular rights giving them some sort of advantage presumably over singles would be better than the godless, atheistic attack upon the millennial old traditions of marriage and less threaten to accelerate national moral and social decay. It is wrong to tempt priests to perform ceremonies of sacrilege such as homosexual marriage. Yet in an era of a hierarchical priesthood instead of a priesthood of believers far too many are oriented more toward secularism rather than doing things pleasing to God.

Political Opposition to Homo Marriage Isn’t Bigotry

N.P.R.’s Mike Peska hosting the political radio show ‘Left, Right and Center’ said that opposition to homosexual marriage is bigotry. That show might consider changing its name to just 'Left of Center'. Peska was ostensibly the centrist indicating how far skewed the nation to the left after nearly 24 years of bad Presidential leadership. Opposition to queer marriage is just honorable and those for it, dishonorable. Homosexuality is a learned behavior, not a congenital fact. Opposition to corrupt behavior is the core of political democracy, not a form of bigotry. There may be some tiny percentage of genetically aberrant individuals to be understood, yet that understanding should not comprise a cause for corrupting society with mass social legislation to abandon reason.

Marriage was perhaps the first civil right established before there were civil rights. Monogamy protected the weak from victimization and was a social sanction against adultery and the conflicts attending the sexual exploitation of women. It is remarkable that the decline of social morals have gone so far and become so common under the corrupting broadcast media influence that social dishonor is regarded as virtually normative.

One can expect NPR to advocate for the rights of Sugar Plum Fairies, unemployment compensation checks for the employed and spousal benefits and quarters for soldiers sucking thumbs of other soldiers. The real bigotry is blaming the poor instead of the rich and middle class for the vast left and right wing public debt.

Hollywood might need to remake the Titanic again with Michael Douglas as the ship’s captain. He could call for ‘women, children and queers’ to the lifeboats. Single adults can open doors for one or the other of a homocouple and marriage while marriage can become disassociated with raising children. So many social traits and customs exist about men being gentlemanly with the fairer sex and probably will even in an era when women feel equal or more than equal financially. There are many forms of competition that men simply would not be comfortable with, being rough with women. Now homos too will desire to be treated ‘without bullying’ and go to the head of the class.

Mike Peska wrongly believes that it is bigotry to oppose the socially deleterious expropriation of marriage by homosexuals. Strait singles and society have made many sacrifices to let marriage be a supported social institution that would be utterly foolish of given to a pair of guys or women homosexuals. Defending one’s individual social equality as an adult means that the blatant corruption of political and social establishments should be opposed. Homosexual marriage is one glaring, blatant corrupt of political and moral reason.

The United States constitution does recognize the right of free association and liberty for individuals. Although moral reason rules against homosexuality it is politically a concern for individuals and for individual behavior within the paradigm of privacy. The fundamental causes for the homosexual marriage aggression probably include fear, delusion, greed, hatred of heterosexual normality and power. It is supported by many godless atheists with wrong ideas about the moral implications of science and evolution theory.

Peska and other N.P.R. radio-heads in their sniper-tower quality communication lofts of unfair political advantage may believe that evolution or atheism means that life is meaningless and morality is judgmental without reason. There are social moral practices that are functional and utilitarian in practice rather than in theory. Morality is not just a theory that can be applied or removed to an existential practico-inert social politik reformed to most reflect the moral nihilism of political leadership.

Christians may believe that morality stems from adhering to the will of God. Even so morality has a basis in real-world social stasis that is not a moral vacuum. To throw in bad political moral choices as law such as homosexual marriage develops inertia for political nihilism deeply to the ground of being and becoming in the transcending development of social history.

Homosexual marriage and other abominable practices sew the seeds of chaos into the cohesive fabric of civilization. Especially when there is a vast range of inductive, non-destructive ways for individuals to ensnare themselves within legal encumbrances unnecessarily it was and is entirely a gratuitous if not vicious assault upon traditional marriage and morality to force homosexual marriage upon society poisoning marriage in the process.

If marriage is of such substantive financial and social value that single individuals should be required by law to make tax sacrifices to support it and if queers are to benefit from that historically heterosexual practice then it would be utter bigotry to deny single adults the financial and tax benefits of marriage. That is if one uses same irrelevant sort of expropriative paradigm as advocates for queer marriage developed.

The moral nihilism of the Democrat Party forged in the existential swamp of moral relativism seems to be an oath of allegiance required for the broadcast media. Maybe some of them really believe that society are better off with a pervasive homosexual hegemony from military training to public educators and that homos would never ever exploit a social ecosystem of homosexual marriage renormalization and atheism.

Media swanks may be above it all for-themselves and disingenuously giving trendy support for their own narrow financial self-interest. Even so it is wrong to denounce political opposition to homosexual marriage or to any public policy change as bigotry. The right to dissent on political issues is fundamental to a democratic society. That little fact is something the nihilist media may hate.

In the brave new world of the age of fracture none will make sacrifices and all will be forced by law to be equal. From each according to his ability and to each according to his/her/its needs. At least in the affirmative era political set power, privilege and wealth will be redistributed from poor and middle class non-class members to class members except for the rich who overall will just accumulate more wealth and power going away while the remainder of the local populace gets poorer. Yet they will have legal dope and queer marriages in the society. How better could they be slopped?

Magnus Carlsen Wins 2013 World Chess Championship

Norwegian Magnus Carlsen (rated 2870) took the World Chess Championship for 2013 with three wins and seven draws. Former champion Viswanathan Anand played rather conservatively hoping the challenger would make a mistake he could capitalize upon. Carlsen, the highest rated chess player in history at age 22, did not make critical errors in end games exploiting the Reti opening, Nimzo Indian and Berlin defenses during the match to set a tempo leading to victory.

Carlsen has an interesting and challenging future ahead with one of several excellent challengers for the 2014 World Chess Championship. There are several players rated in the high 2700's and even more than 2800 as is Carlsen that would be formidable challengers including number for ranked in the world 24 year-old American Hikaru Nakamura rated 2786 and 20 year-old American-born Italian Fabiano Caruna rated 2782

Senate Democrats Use Nuclear Option to End Minority Filibusters

The U.S. Senate voted today to end the power of minority parties to filibuster confirmation votes. In what may be another short-term gain strategy to pack the government with Obama left-leaning nominees blocked from confirmation by Senate Republicans the administration and Sen. Harry Reed have set the stage for long range recovery by conservative nominees of the bad fiscal order of the U.S. Government.

Far too many Americans are out of work while the administration has cooked the unemployment books to make happy meals for news consumers.

Original American First Peoples Included Western Europeans

Excavations from a site near Lake Baikal Siberia that is 24,000 years old unearthed bones that have genes of west Europeans. Evidently Western Europeans also were heading East at the end of the Wisconsin Ice Age with others that migrated to North America. That explains why first peoples in America have such a large proportion of West European genes.

People from Eurasia have been migrating since ancient times to the new world…as long ago as 35,000 B.C. The racial bias against Europeans for reaching America from the Irish voyages and the Albs to the Vikings, Columbus and Cabot is more political than anything else. It would be crass racial bias to be anti-European American when their ancestors too numbered among the first people having blended in sexually to form then hybrid North American superman voyager.

The American spirit of exploration can only be repressed by radical leftist political correctness and bias flowing throw elitist Universities. Yet hopefully we (North Americans) shall overcome some day and get a solid moon base built from native materials started.

Democrat Uncertainty on Mid-East Policy and Troop Levels

The Obama administration has been recalcitrant on making firm continuing U.S. military assistance to Iraq and Afghanistan. That is something of a Democrat Party tradition. They prefer that proxies do the killing as building up the Syrian conflict instead of building peace. Keeping stability after a conflict is even more worthwhile that getting a conflict started that could have been honorably avoided with a modicum of finesse. Original sin drives political rationalizations toward bad ends on occasion.

The Clinton administration wasn't hot about ending the sanctions era on Iraq that let 50,000 to 100,000 civilians die annually for several years. One wonders about the cliche of penny wise and pound foolish. We failed to keep a sustained support for the Afghans after the end of the war against the Soviets and that led to a Taliban hegemony while out coolness toward the Shi'a in the region seems to have helped embolden the Sunni Al Qaeda of Iraq. P.M. Maliki asked for U.S. troops for training and intelligence I suppose. We probably ought to send 5000 black op special forces advisers to indicate our support for the lawful government and opposition to terrorism.

The Obama administration has many challenges presently involving truthfulness.  That's a perennial problem for governments of course especially when amplified by a corrupt broadcast media that ought to be replaced by a broadcast slice populism for every interested web user locally. The administration seems to have dissimulated to voters on the real unemployment rate and on elements of Obamacare during the 2012 election in order to get over. In Afghanistan one wonders to what extent truthfulness matters to the leading parties of both countries?

If the United States should practice a kind of constructive engagement with Iraq and Afghanistan for the long run neither should we neglect the changes in Turkey that have brought the end of ancient Christian churches. The administration seems rather anemic on border security, balancing the federal budget, cutting spending, creating full employment and reducing the drug problem nationally instead of reinforcing it with legal dope.

The administration seems interested in sending trainers to Libya in order ostensibly to counteract armed militia neo-insurgents. That seems like amorphous conflict building instead of building up a democracy yet who can say? The coolness toward Egypt's government and policy of restoring some sort of Muslim Brotherhood Party role seems another failure of realpolitik. I guess all of that is a distraction from the Snowden Files revelations about bugging the phones of European leaders. The explanation was spying on friendly nations is s.o.p.

In my opinion much of this is the result of nihilist populism encouraged by godless atheists. Nothing really matters except personal egoism and the annihilation of faith, spiritual development and virtue are de rigeur for those so in love with Darwinism they cannot even have an interest is how the temporal form of mass-energy is just a tiny thread amid the eternal Spirit of God. The intellectual lethargy of atheism returning to simple pure materialism ad infinitum is a kind of malaise of the soul. When America becomes a little bit symbolic of meaning nothing it probably is harder to win friends in Moslem countries. When the Obama administration appears to have little regard for Christianity it is understandable that the unwell educated would have a bad example to emulate. At least the administration should be constant in expressing and acting on affordable continuing military security for Iraq.

Cosmology and the Realm of Forms

I have developed a synthetic exposition of Platonic thought with a Christian context and published that recently in a book titled 'The Universal Widget - In the Realm of Forms'.

http://www.lulu.com/shop/garrison-clifford-gibson/a-universal-widget-in-the-realm-of-forms/ebook/product-21268508.html]lulu.com/shop/garrison-clifford-gibson/ ... 68508.html

The method is science fiction with a philosopher of Mars named Patrick Voevoda commissioned to locate a missing Universal widget from the Higgs-Masonic lodge of the enigmatic planet Temprova. That investigation leads to a description of the Universal widget, the Universal form and the realm of forms.

As a believer in God it is simpler to consider the logic of the necessity of being and the attributes of God than it would for one with a bias of unbelief. From my point of view being is eternal and nothingness is an aspect of the temporal evolution of being necessary for the field's percepts of sentient life to be experienced.

Contemporary cosmology and philosophy tend to view Platonism with a rear view mirror and as a quaint artifact of the past evolution of philosophical formalism. Even neo-Platonism is described at some on-line sites as an anachronism of Byzantine Empire. Much of that is a consequence of the rise of scientific materialism and its efforts for rigid technical accuracy and dismissal of error. Scientific method is myopic on non-technical topics not uncommonly. Lawyers as politicians may bring excellent argumentation skills even to mathematics or economic theory yet beyond the narrower range of legal disputes they may have no implicit capacity for accuracy or expertise. Scientist may have a similar fallacy of belief that expertise in their field brings them to be less than ignorant far afield. Quine at least helped brake down that mistake with his 'Two Dogmas of Empiricism' yet one might wonder if that is considered in 'The Age of Fracture' where existentialism has become something of a business ethical criterion along with the political (do your own thing).

 I have tried to bring the topic of the core of the ideas of Socrates via Plato on metaphysics into modern terms. It seems that there are Universal forms in quantum mechanics. All of the standard model quanta seem to have standard forms as Higgs field downloads into the steady state. It may be that there are Universal forms of quantum fields, and some cosmologists have tried I think to make standard forms of Universes of a multiverse. 

God logically is eternal. I won't venture far into describing the logic of eternal being here. Temporality and Universes as evolving temporal manifestations of an eternal being may in some way simply be relativistic macro-scale subjective phenomenalities of God being. For-himself there may be an infinite matrix of being of existing things perceptible or known for-himself and for subjective monads of however many dimensions as he wills. Given the complexity of human neurology and thought-there are more potential though connections in a human brain than number of star in the 135 billion galaxies of the observable Universe- it is easy to imagine that the sophistication of thought structures of the eternal God surpass that infinitely. Forms spoken into being are a marvel.
