Orion Spacecraft Scheduled for DRO Flight Around Moon in 2017

N.A.S.A.'s Orion spacecraft intended to take space travelers to Mars is scheduled for its first significant mission in 2017 in what is called a distant retrograde orbit. That is a budget orbit around the moon that doesn't require fuel expense to keep the orbit after the spacecraft arrives. L-3 and L-5 apparently do cost something according to an explanation in Aviation Week 7 Space Technology June 23, 2014.       Orion concept image credit-N.A.S.A.

As Buzz Aldrin suggested among others, construction of an Earth-Mars orbiter permanently making the voyage perhaps helped with ion engines could be a method for regular shuttle of astronauts to mars and back. Landers sent from Earth or the Moon on auto pilot could be sent to meet visitors to Mars down to the planet surface from the Earth-Mars shuttle.

It could be useful to design a number of low cost and effective Bernoulli sphere Earth-Mars taxi capsules with cosmic-ray protection for biological life given with water made from ice strewn around the solar system. Nearly ten feet of water are required to defend against cosmic ray damage. One hopes that N.A.S.A. has encouraged with some sort of incentive design competition to get ideas for Bernoulli sphere containers for solar system taxis.

Fed Court Decides Utah Homo Marriage Ban Illegal-Squares Circle

The U.S. 10th Court of Appeals green-lighted homosexual marriage in Utah overturning the state's constitutional ban. The court said that there is no logical reason why not. We appreciate the court's athority on rules of logic. One anticipates the court reasons that squares are circles too, and a2 + a2 = c2.

Time for Washington Redkins to Drop the 'Red'

The Washington Redskins is a potent political symbol of Red State decline of fortune. After the Clinton and Obama administrations the D.C. football team has become a symbol of transition to anachronism failing to change to Obama blue. Blue states have the political power and red states fossil fuel panache.

One would hope that Redskins ownership would change to apostrophe Skins perhaps with a shirtless Mr. Universe or a Green Hulk on the helmet instead of the noble native American warrior.

Linux Mint 17 Qiana Released

The newest version of Linux Mint-an open source operating system fairly easy to install that may be dual booted with Windows was published. It is named Qiana.  Mint version 17 will be maintained two or three years evidently. One can install it from a thumb drive. Learning how to make a bootable thumb drive can take a little time-Ubuntu has a hyperlink for making a bootable thumb drive.

 http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/
 http://neosmart.net/EasyBCD/

If one has a bootable thumb drive and installed uneboot or easybcd its necessary to shrink the volume of drive c where windows is kept maybe 30 or 40% in order to free up room for Mint to install itself.When Mint is booted up from the thumb drive or cd it will offer the option to dual boot with windows and save the existing files in windows-that's a good choice. You can access those files from within Mint.

Capitalism as Quality vs Quantity Growth for Ecospheric Commerce

Saving the planet from the irrational exuberance of quantitative capital growth that depletes the fund of natural capital is challenging in this anthropocene era were the profound of me-ness in material power has made an atheist god of capitalism. Inflexibility and non-adaptability were thought to be the characteristics of government instead of capitalism generally, yet in the corporatist era of networking and mass broadcast media networking a pervasive ossification has ensued resistant to progress. Here is what can be done to rectify the political economy.

Government direction of economic development toward qualitative rather than quantitative growth is requisite for change. There are existing facts that can't be changed of course. America isn't a leader on environmental economics and the second and third world will want to increase their production of greenhouse gases and extermination of ecospheric habitat in order to upgrade their consumer comfort to something like that of the United States of America.

The U.S.A. can't cut back its carbon emission much-even a 25%  would be shocking and virtually communist to some pundits. Instead the United States outsources its material production to China and blames the Chinese for being the world's largest greenhouse gas emitter. When the American Midwest becomes a desert and the Mississippi River dries up, when Americans try to crowd in to Alaska the argument about reduction of greenhouse gases will be late.

The United States could act a priori and begin a vast desalinization of seawater for irrigation purposes border control canal project if it had the intellectual wherewithal to work macro-physical construction projects of scale any more. Instead it will seek after regulatory, bureaucrat solutions or alternatively through science laboratory packages Those likely policy approaches aren't likely to  work though some believe evolutionary capitalism will get to the right place eventually as needed. End of the

Capitalism doesn't need to be like an airliner taking off along a runway, inflexible and unable to alter direction of lift-off. If terrorists armed with stinger missiles taken from the Iraqi Army are at the end of the runway capitalism can invent in overdrive and qualitatively improve for example taking off straight up with electro-magnetic lift and choosing any direction to be electro-magnetically accelerated in by a charge particle beam until airspeed is sufficient for its jets to carry on. Qualitative change parameters selected for the survival of human life on Earth in addition to full employment well-being of Americans should be national priorities.

Like a draft animal-a stubborn Missouri Mule for instance, capitalism if it is to do more than browse the grass and work sexing like turbo-donkeys as ineffectively as homosexual marriages producing nothing needs to be put to work pulling more than its own weight in qualitatively improving wagons. Capitalism and free enterprise should serve democracy and be given guidelines and parameters for progress to reduce the depletion of natural environmental capital. Actually destruction of the ecosphere is a dumb trade since the creation and context of the environment is far more valuable and intricately complex than the comparatively simple, stupid materials manufacture of human technologists. Be like little gods as they might regard themselves politically seem incapable of successfully responding to the challenges set through demography, capitalism, natural resource limits and the bite of corporatism into democratic self-determination.

As a citizen of a democracy that is ineffective at selecting Presidential and general political leadership it is frustrating to experience the juggernaut of environmental doom unhindered in its development. Additionally the are too many people out of work, national debt is increasing and the flood of illegal aliens is likely to increase. Quantitative growth encouraged by government intention should provide some object criteria for free enterprisers to work within.

On Barth's Post-Calvinist Paradigm of Election & Predestination

In several respects Karl Barth reformed the theology of the reformed church. Issues that persist todays for Christians on the topic of predestination of the elect remain conversational objects especially in the dialogue between believers and the faithless. Usually people draw upon Augustine and Calvin for theological insights into scripture. Karl Barth wrote a new and even upgraded interpretation of the subject of election however, that seems eminently logical and with some support in scripture.

In short-all humans comprise the elect when they are saved. The reason for that is that just one man-Jesus Christ who is God, actually is the elect. God approved/elected Himself. Fairly though, God also rejected Himself in the crucifixion of the Son. Jesus Christ as man bore the physical body housing original sin in the fallen, temporal Universe. Since he was God though he was without spiritual sin and able to overcome the original sin's withering effects on morality. Christians become the elect through faith in the Son. An Introduction to Barth's Theology by Geoffrey Bromley is a succinct accounting of Barth's innovative and realistic insight

I would add the observation that spiritual coherence in the will of God once broken-as Adam and Eve perpetrated in the Garden-cannot easily be fixed. God as God is recognizable only to himself yet as the man Jesus Christ became subject-for-others. Even so God and the Holy Spirit are One with the Lord. Human free will arose with disobedience to God somewhat like symmetry breaking of a perfect unified field without imbalance in an original singularity created rapid expansion and hyperinflation hypothetically of a basic Universe within one physical cosmology theoretical paradigm. Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ as God can restore the lost, free willed sinners of the realm of broken forms, temporal entropy and original sin to perfection in the will of God.

A Chamber of Eco-Commerce Might Provide Leadership

An Ecosphere friendly chamber of commerce would be a useful tool to pragmatically support development of business and employment that reinforces ecospheric integrity such as is possible. Few politicians or business people have a good notion of what ecological economics are. Entire fields of study have been devoted to it in colleges however. The application of new business to society requires analysis of its political prospects in adverse non-supportive political social environments. A Russian-American or Russian-Alaska Ecosphere of Commerce could help bridge the gap created by the failures of Washington D.C. to move forward with Russia toward a green conservative full employment

Gov. Sean Parnell on the job

There are numerous reasons for the failures of U..S. leadership that I won't digress upon. Alaska of course is subject to political control by oil corporations that support the state government. Imperialism was the traditional way of commerce for the British Empire-a little island with big economic ambitions-and Bill Clinton supported that on Wall Street during his Presidency. Global imperialism through business may be good for Britain yet it's bad for the U.S.A.  Developing easy breezy foreign interests neglects one's national interests-that brought down the Roman Empire and it can bring down the U.S.A. Britain needed imperialism yet the United States always had plenty of resources to support its own development needs. If America can't make it on its own no one else probably can either. The people of the world have too big of economic appetites with natural resources sufficient to support the habit.

Some may say that imperialism isn't the issue. The problem is just that government and business exist in a networking, bureaucrat and finance heavy drug using immoral social environment where government can't really do anything besides occupy the big chairs in the big jobs and plan for retirement with lots of foreign vacations. That may be so. N.P.R. was worried about the Norfolk naval bases flooding in a century from sea level rise. Poor navy-they will need to get boats to save the admiral's homes from drowning.

The U.S. navy could become something of a bureaucracy itself with no surface battles for a century. A zillion micro-drone fast attack force delivery packages could track and sink any significant surface vessel in a decade or less. Maybe the Navy should plan for something else in ruling the waves for bureaucrats and Wall Street. Assuredly people need to be able to get about on the ocean yet new military paradigms could develop that don't comprise copious imperial spending and anachronistic security criteria.

Alaska's Governor has supported minor cross-border exchanges with Russia. It would be good if an Ecosphere of Commerce  were to arise with government and business supported perhaps coordinated by Amory Lovins and other seriously green individuals. The Anthropocene Era of mass extinction perhaps including human life is upon us. One should never misunderestimate the ineffectiveness of government and its inability to created or allow political reform in the era of bureaucratic-financial networking glamor inertia.

Obama Administration on Point With Queer Marriage and Chaos in Middle East

The election in Afghanistan appears troubled with one of two candidates in the Presidential runoff declaring fraud. The Taliban seems the winner with strength in Pakistan and five reinforcing leaders released by President Obama from Guantanamo Bay incarceration. Across the Middle East and S.W. Asia Obama administration policy to subvert lawful governments and replace them with more democratic ones consistent with U.S. values (see Alice Cooper video 'Elected') has brought regime change and development of terrorist rebel infrastructure with a little temporal, tranformational success at bringing one democratic election before hostile takeover by fundamentalists or military junta. Of course we wonder what the long term results of the short-sighted administration policies will be on the formation of Middle East politics.

U.S. leadership could be said to have been somewhat idiotic since the end of the Reagan era in January 1989. The nation has been involved in a series of wars with second and third rate powers unaccompanied by rational political oversight. Vast national debt has built up, the media has grown corrupt and is a propaganda sluzhba influencing political liberty. Church dogmatics have been corrupted and the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) following President Obama's homosexual organizing has brought profane policy in accepting homosexual marriage as church doctrine.

Presbyterianism that fails at the elder ideal of leadership in church dogmatics centered on the word of God in scripture such as Karl Barth described in Church Dogmatics departs from the word and drifts into alliance with the profane. Like juvenile delinquents pursuing a naturalistic liberal theology suggesting they love the one they are with for the moment, elder juvenile church leaders seek after a feel good worldliness instead of the freedom of God revealing himself as God in the Lord Jesus Christ. True freedom in obedience to the word is reinforced by accurate dogmatics interpreting or shepherding church doctrines to conformity with scripture and the living Word. I suggest those lost souls of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) read Geoffrey W. Bromley's Introduction to the Theology of Karl Barth. Barth was a dissident to Nazi rule and takeover through intimidation of the German protestant church. When church and state are unified it leaves plenty of room for corruption of the church and of church doctrine by the state.

Homosexual marriage politically expropriates an institution developed by countless political decisions for heterosexuals. It is like a communist expropriation of Wall Street to redistribute wealth to those that did not build it. I say this in the abstract in reference to Wall Street of course because networking of financial wealth expropriating capitalism for the few is itself something of a fraud perpetrated upon the masses. Honest homosexual politicians would have built up benefits for homosexual establishments for-themselves such as the public and legislatures were willing to concede. Instead federal judges and a politically butch President simply stole marriage, corrupting and redistributing it to homosexuals. Queering in turn is of benefit to a plutocracy consolidating wealth through their disestablishment of countless social establishments developed created in the absence of a semblance of queer marriage. In any raving social circumstance with chaos and corruption the primary beneficiaries are the rich and the basic victims are the masses. As resistance in the social body politic is killed the power of the wealth increases as juggernauts in the darkness.

Short term political goals of creating democracies in the middle east following regime change have been a staple of President Obama's policy and like the administration of George W. Bush that believed with rose-colored glasses that following a quick regime change democracy would break out conflict rising to the scale of war developed instead.

Past Presidential maladministration has consequences. The media is largely a collage of embedded boofiness supporting the concentration of wealth, the Chinese Communist Party as the remaining idealistic vast socialist left-wing conspiracy remaining on Y'Earth (there are more left-handed people in the journalist trade than in any other), they partner and propagandize for the plutocracy and communists in true boofiness. The interests of the United States decay as the ideal world of irresponsibility is developed by the administration. A clever, intelligent President can like a good chess player win a lot of games while a klutz without much skill loses-it's as simple as that. America elects klutz's charismatic to youth, the electorate or something. The Republicans are mostly tone-deaf and don't get populism (see Alice Cooper video 'Elected'). In any case a candidate not only needs to get elected he needs to be competent in several areas of political skills with leading ideas to work if the nation is to end up without another in the long line of turkey Presidents.

 ISIS's incursions into Iraqi territory after a long build up with American military equipment and funding from the 'friends of Syria' in order to war on the lawful and stable Syrian government has already created a vast humanitarian crisis in Iraq with more than half a million displaced and stressed civilians along with innumerable civil and military casualties. The Obama administration has called for Iraqi Prime Minister Maliki to step down as they called for three years for Syrian President Assad to step down for not being Sunni perhaps yet proximally for not leading a democracy acceptable to ideal U.S. Democrat Party standards with all of the homosexual benefits that includes. More than 120,000 people-mostly civilians-have been killed in Syria. U.S. Presidential leadership should have more than posturing as a requirement for domestic consumption it ought to have realpolitk competence as well if it is to accomplish more than insinuate chaos and civil conflict abroad.

One might speculate that the advantage of vast military power without a conventional and approximately equal potential foe since the end of the cold war in January 1989 at the end of the Reagan administration tempted subsequent U.S. Presidents to use their military buildup without judicious restraint or commensurate, requisite political wisdom. Military force used in a correct way is comparable to a surgical instrument or a chess sacrifice of Mikhail Tal used to secure political goals that realistically work. As in syllogistic reasoning the means must equal the ends, the premises add up to the conclusion if military intervention and/or regime changing through subterfuge, subversion and large-power intervention are employed. Otherwise one brings about policy failure and one heck of a mess as seems to be developing presently in Iraq. Of course Democrat Party and media sycophants would regard that as evolution in action and another story to report on replete with pathos and potential for progress and right-wingers to blame.

Iran has been regarded as a traditional enemy of the U.S.A. since they declared the embassy a nest of spies and captured it during their dangerous revolt against the Shah. Iran released the hostages eventually. Perhaps the United States built up Saddam Hussein's Iraq then and fomented the Iran-Iraq war as a low cost spooky method of exacting revenge-that's hard to confirm, yet the Middle East has been a problem for American policy planners for a long time. It will be difficult to build up good relations in the region as it does seem entirely fluid and destabilized without a foreseeable outcome the next few years.

 One might speculate about potential scenarios of course. ISIS could establish a nation carving out some of Iraq and Syria. Iraq could become a Shia state affiliated with Iran as Syria would be an Alawi state affiliated with Iran. The Saudi regime could be changed and become a Muslim fundamentalist state with terrorism funded by formerly Saudi oil sales to America and China. In the midst of all that mess Israel would stand as God's little nation on the Earth somewhat like Jesus Christ persecuted and oppressed by the establishment surrounding it and harassed by the global media. Well enough of that sort of scenario generating presently.

 Of actual Obama administration opportunities to direct middle east political development cutting off funding to everyone besides Israel and Egypt would be the most affordable and pragmatic option short of intelligent military intervention and taking charge in Iraq that would require a different sort of military leader with good economic sense as well-not Obama admin characteristics at all. The administration is probably busy planning for the loss of Afghanistan to the Taliban before it leaves office in January 2017. It seems to have already accomplished losing Iraq.

 

 

P.M. Maliki Under Fire By Anglo-American Gov Op

The crisis for Iraq of the war of ISIS has been meet by U.S. and British advice that Prime Minister Malaki quit. During a crisis the first thing friends suggest is that the leadership resigns. Regime change must be a good policy since President Obama has pursued that across the Middle East. Voters in the U.S.A. need to wait until November 2016.

http://www.bostonglobe.com/news/world/2014/06/20/iraqi-prime-minister-will-not-quietly-foes-friends-say/2Z1t8SVGTzSjrCi9l0ivTP/story.html

After the crisis is over and ISIS rolled up (if that should occur) might be a better time to change leadership. Like all bureaucrats and even American politicians that never fade away gracefully any more Iraq's P.M. has held on. They may need a war leader and someone able to build national unity. It is improbable that President Obama's advisers will offer practical advice on how to stop the violence realistically.

Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) Assembly Votes Homosexual Sin’s O.K

It is a characteristic of history that falsehoods of language and empirical use-truths generate in time what Confucius called a rectification of names. Like skyscrapers built with numerous elements missing because of the lies of contractors that pocketed the materials cost instead of buying building components, social falsehoods given sufficient quantity create weaknesses leading to collapse. False syllogistic structures and wrong church doctrine don’t cohere within truth. The Presbyterian Church ( U.S.A.) leadership assembly overseeing 1.76 million members voted for the politically convenient lie of homosexual marriage.

One of the remarkable elements of the Gospel according to John is the brilliant exposition of theology. The Apostle John was a fairly simple man with an energetic temperament who lived to old age probably in Ephesus where he was able to put together writing about the life of the Lord Jesus Christ.

It is said by Biblical scholars that the Apostle wrote in simple Greek such as learned by one who isn’t a native writer. Greek allows long, complex sentence structures yet those of John are short and to the point using Hebraisms and ideas that are complex. That is the theology of the incarnation of the Universe from the Word whom had pre-existed the temporal Universe is set forth. It isn’t like other ancient philosophical writing though some have noted quite reasonably attributes of mysticism and logic it may share with Platonism and hence some neo-Platonist/Gnostic ways of regarding the world that might best be represented in the 2nd  neo-Platonist philosopher Plotinus. John creates a brilliant theological paradigm for cosmology inspired and led by Jesus Christ and the Spirit of God that is very solid.

Biblical writings don’t really change. Subjective interpretation of the Bible and the New Testament may change over time and it has especially since the Protestant reformation. Sin that was said to be sin by the Apostle Paul and known to be sin by traditional Jewish law remain such. When the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)’s Assembly decided that homosexual marriage is o.k. they voted in point of fact that select sin is o.k. if it is politically popular. They would have been on the side of the Sodomites and against Lot and his family when the angel visted to bring judgment. That is a wrong choice for church leadership to take.

Christianity in its organizational forms that are denominations and assemblies called churches are in the actual Christian Church of all believers only so long as they share the faith in the Lord and live or seek to live in harmony with the word of God as set forth in Bible scripture. There isn’t the slightest reason for doubt on the basis of Old or New Testament that homosexuality is sin. Christians though forgiven for their sin are supposed to seek to not sin, and further, they should not want to sin. Homosexual marriage is blasphemous sin in effect and a corrupt union the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) should denounce rather than encourage.

In the 19^th century the Presbyterian Church was a leading evangelical organization. By the mid-20^th century it had fallen into decline as had many other high churches. Today they have a tiny percent of Christian Church goers and that makes them vulnerable to takeover by persons without Christian values though of course the denomination can still have the shingle on the door, the prestige and the rump infrastructure and positions, even sinecures funded well enough by old money, leftists and homosexual political elites. Make no mistake however, the homosexual expropriation of some American church denominations is an expansion of the realm of Satan. One can only pray that the reprobate direction of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) is corrected in some way by a renewal of faith.

The Apostle John and the other first century Christians would never have signed off on any sort of homosexual marriage as acceptable Christian behavior. In the 21^st century it remains wrong. For a church denomination to support homosexual marriage is to leave off the Bible and prefer politics and worldliness. It is as if authorities on the U.S. Constitution said that cannibalism, fascism and state socialism are consistent with the principles of the founders. Instead of lying about it honest people sinners would at least just write a new constitution with that sort of thing in it. The Presbyterian Church instead of lying about the Bible such that they find any sort of acceptance of homosexual marriage support in it ought to just say they think world politics and power are more important to them than the word of God and ready themselves too an explanation at the day of judgment with some sort of plausible excuse.

Presbyters meant elders in Greek used in the day of the early church. Initially it referred to the disciples and Apostles and their place in the church. Then the term declined a little and referred. Presbyter-elders were like Bishops as the church developed. Later presbyters and deacons became less important. During the reformation a protestant church denomination named Presbyterian developed in Scotland. One wonders if the contemporary United Kingdom support for homosexual marriage is a cause for the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) decent into accepting the sin of homosexual marriage in the very gay empowering Obama administration.

Perpetrating the frauds of false advertising used to be meaningful in U.S. law. When the U.S. Government and global corporations have evolved ideological corporatism that fails to develop national democracy, secure borders, reign in the concentration of wealth and power through stock sharing, trading and banking networking oligarchies the practice of pejorative use-truth has legitimized fraud as subjective establishment political realism. Christians should beware of false Christian church fronts in the era of mass social propagandizing and keep that King James New Testament in hand. It is far more reliable than the opinion of Presbyters of San Francisco and Wall Street.
