President O. Signs Off on Budget Deal- Debt Ceiling Negotiations Next
President Obama signed a two-year budget deal today. The next congressional financial crisis is early in 2014 with negotiations on deepening the public borrowing debt hole. Democrats want to shovel down to China, Republicans want to throw in a little dirt from the poor people's pile.
One hopes the President will use bold and realistic negotiating tactics for once such as agreeing to cut the federal budget 100 billion dollars over two years in return for raising the taxes on the rich 5%. That's a win-win for better budgeting winners and a lose-lose for debt-deepening budget losers, plus or minus a times or two.
If only N.A.S.A. were given 5 billion to research and develop sub-surface sealed chamber fiber-optic lit lunar farming there would be a glimmer of hope for producing food concentrates to send to hungry people of Earth in 20 or 30 years.

Japan's P.M. Visits Shrine for War Dead to Offset Chinese Intimidation
Japanese Prime Minister Abe visited a shrine for the dead of World War Two probably in response to recent Chinese aggression against some small, unpopulated Japanese Islands with a claim of an air defense exclusivity zone for China over the islands. Basically Abe was saying "We're not wusses and will defend ourselves." Of course China and South Korea howled in protest because Japan was a cruel imperial invader of both nations in the 1930s.
Since the United States intervened in the second world war after a Japanese attack on Hawaii eventually defeating Japan the balance of power in Asia has evolved substantially. The United States is effectively the guarantor of Japanese physical security while Japan has limited its military role to a self-defense forces. China has evolved through communism to a mixed-market economy, prosperity and an expanded military. The prosperity and limited military role of Japan has made China swell a little as it asserts a blue water naval and air capability. The assertion of a Chinese Air Defense zone to make a hostile possession takeover of Japanese Islands is a bad, yet logical development with the perceived wussification of the U.S. military under the Obama homosexual marriage agenda.
While China has developed its nuclear capability the United States has allowed the unstable nation of North Korea to develop a nuclear capability. Japan is the most vulnerable and probable target of a surprise North Korean nuclear attack. Given the role of Japan as China's main rival to domination of the Asian economy and as an obstruction to Chinese rise to dominate the world economy it is not impossible that China would actually consider it beneficial for North Korea to nuke Tokyo. A North Korean attack on Tokyo is even more likely than an Iranian attack on Israel.
As the United States moves down the road to moral decay under Democrat affirmative action leadership sucking up to global corporate concentrated wealth and exploits a Democrat Judiciary and Lawyer-Executive hegemony to force moral decay upon unwilling states with decisions forcing homosexual marriage development of a separate yet superior Wall-Street economy and sluzba bureaucracy covered by an anti-egalitarian broadcast media propaganda and dissimulation power establishment the Japanese must wonder if the United States will long have the will or ability to defend Japanese territorial interests. Perhaps it is time that Japan is encouraged to rearm and improve its air-to-air fighter technology as well as electro-magneto-hydro-dynamic powered small, fast naval attack vessels to become an effective Pacific naval power.
China and North Korea have made the mistake, like many others, of underestimating the genius of non-conventional anti-conventional weapons systems that can be fairly quickly developed. Many underestimate the capacity for the human population to experience mega-death through a variety of lethal biological and improvisational weapons of physics. It is just a really bad idea for the Democrat Party to force immorality upon unwilling states and undermine democracy through executive corruption of the separation of powers via sophisticated politically incestuous subversion with saturation of lawyers in government in order to benefit corrupt elites and let the rest of the international relations scene evolve through bad directions to possibly deleterious ends.
Besides encouraging the Muslim Brotherhood to takeover the Middle East through subversion of lawful governments, the transition of U.S. investment capital to China instead of the U.S.A. and gross trade imbalance with China has led to perennial unaccountability of Wall-Street to the people of the United States as well as the government that props them up as a banker of god for their benefit. The irrationality of U.S. domestic and international policy has forced a general global error away from a more Godly utopian balance toward existential evolution without moral rationality. Japan ought to be encouraged to help itself militarily a little more, and to partner more with the U.S.A. in military exercises across the Pacific in order to offset the rise of Chinese aggression.

Demos- The Party that Sucks vs. Rich in 2014 Congressional Races?
Not a chance that the Democrats with their party-that-sucks policy will turn against the party for the rich (Republicans) in 2014. The turn of the Democrats to being just a party that sucks up to the rich means the poor and middle class that don't suck have no political representation any more.
Oh well. Democrats have taken a turn toward same-politics policies believing that sucking transcends everything. That's the fruit of their evolution ideas. At least they can get their papers from Federal Obamacare Insurance centers and be properly documented.
The happy news is that CBS reported real incomes went up two tenths of one percent. If one calculates Wall Street and Bank profits averaged in with everyone else that sounds about right. The poor and middle class just got moderately poorer. It would be instructive if they would report the income status of just the 95% sometimes so the numbers aren't so warped.

Venezuela Ought to Liberate This Christian Bishop From His Cell For Christmas
An Anglican Bishop appointed Defender of Human Rights in Venezuela earlier this year has been arrested and incarcerated for some time on some sort of financial charge. He hasn't been in that nation long enough to become part of a Bonnie and Clyde scheme yet. Brazil may be worse off than Argentina economically speaking yet they really ought to release the fellow for Christmas and at least allow him to return to Los Angeles if not his job in Venezuela.
There is some sort of false religion charge against Bishop Jylman Red Jurado Farfan and he is in the Yare III (Carcel de Caracas) gaol.
The new President of Venezuela Nicolas Maduro may be some sort of grinch neo-tyrant without good economic sense about free enterprise (it should be given free reign yet the size of corporations and number of employees capped in order to prevent oligarchy and concentration of wealth)-are there other prisoners that should be liberated in recognition of the birth of the Lord of the Universe and more? Hopefully President Maduro will get the Christmas Spirit and work for the Lord a little.

Federal Apartheid & Chinese Globalism
One
wonders how long the racial apartheid lands for American Indians can be
defended in the global political context of non-race based nationalism?
American liberals have traditionally defended Amer-Indian apartheid reservations
for humanitarian reasons. In the modern paradigm that may sound like Lester
Maddox or George Wallace advocating racial segregation now and racial
segregation forever on special set-aside lands.
Reservations
were created during an era when colonialism with set-asides for aboriginals was
a convenient way to relocate the savages. If that had been done by Napoleon for
Berliner’s, if he had won that war maybe World War Two could have been
pre-empted when a German Geronimo took the lead. The French Revolution
liberated Haiti and brought the mobile guillotine to lop off the heads of monarchy-aristocrat
supremacists enabling democracy to take hold. Depriving Germans of their
reservations even today is a continuing source of trouble with neos seeking to
breathe free of racial competition for First Peoples of Europe (pity the
Neanderthals)
So
long as the U.S. Government exists as a nationally independent body and the U.S.
Supremes hold apartheid-race reservation lands constitutional it likely will
defend the land selections for race/tribe clan-only use. However with the
co-option of the U.S. Government through public debt, lobbyists and globalism
the time may come when a heavily indebted and lobbied government votes to end race/tribe/clan
apartheid reservations in Alaska and across U.S.A.
Even
before the full corruption of the U.S. Government is ripe and it drops like a rotten
fruit to the ground of global tyranny under the U.N. or a Plutonomy union with
Chicom billionaires it may decide to have a season of business tourism and
flood Alaska with subversive gang members, cash and honey pots to infiltrate, takeover
clan leadership from a number of angles. China ’s Pacific Rim presence may become a
flood and business surge so large with a robust economy that it may seek to
convert Alaska like Africa or Australia into a resource colony as
Britain has before.
It
is challenging to explain why an Adolph Hitler acceptable racial purity policy
for ‘First Peoples’ in the U.S.A. that could apply equally well to a Germany
and Europe being flooded by non ‘First Peoples’ from Africa and Asia is o.k.
for non-whites but verboten for whites that doesn’t seem racist. Anti-racial
purity policies are popular in the corporate world and are used to exploit
local nations in justifying illegal immigration. What is plain is that
duplicity is at work, democracy in decline and wealth is being concentrated.
Whose fault is that?

On the Gospel of Luke; Evangelist, Physician, Artist
Luke- A physician named Luke, born in Antioch was
the author of the eponymous gospel account. His Greek language skills are
flawless and he wrote Hebrew well. He was a companion of the Apostle Paul and
writes in the most physically descriptive way of the synoptic gospels. He is
mentioned in Paul’s epistles of II Timothy 4:11, Philemon verse 24 and
Colossians 4:14.
Luke like Matthew, Mark and John was able to draw upon the collected experience of the disciples and church of the day. He is said to have died in 84 A.D., probably martyred. It is notable that the Apostles best suited for writing to select groups, in this case the Greek speaking world, produced the four gospels. Coordination in the early church to develop a Universal collection of writing explaining the Lord’s soteriological life and mission seems likely. The late Francois Bovon observed the gospel according to Luke’s ‘sense of joy’. Others have observed the artistic quality of the work as literature.

Luke may have been one of the 70 disciples sent out by Jesus
into the world, or not. If he did not meet Jesus Christ in-the-flesh, he
certainly meet many of his disciples and was well able to record with a shared
feeling of compassion the meaning and purpose of the life of the Lord. Luke was
a painter and reportedly produced the first Christian icons, as many as 600
raising.
