Ugly Face of Brit Imperialism Considers Ban on Donald Trump from U.K.
Free
speech is the heart of democracy. Free personal and political
discourse reinforces self-determination and social and cultural
determination free of tyranny. There are numerous ways to put free
speech down. Direct hate speech such as calling someone a bigot if
they refer to race interests is one way repression works. The
government has been creating special racial classes and taking race
census questions my entire adult life-even going to far as create a
category of hate crimes wherein special racial and sexual perversion
classes are given extra legal protections. It is thus possible to
segregate excluded classes with the via negativa.
That
the British parliament will soon debate if they should exclude Donald
Trump-potentially America's next President, from the U.K. is an
example of the battle that the founders waged to free the people of
the United States from British tyranny. It is ironic that the class
of people that formed the United States through blood, philosophy and
faith are the class receiving de facto negative action while those
benefiting from the constitution they created advance.
Well,
racial and demographic justice are perennial liberal concerns. Not
those of modern liberalism that is concerned with ingratiating
themselves with global corporatists and demoting the founder racial
and gender class in the U.S.A. They are the concerns of the liberal
founders of the United States of America that revolted against
British imperialism.
Imperialism
today is as much of a danger to democracy in the United States as
globalism and mass foreign immigration. Britain's economic
imperialism through the financial sector was designed to replace the
lost British colonial empire that withered away in the 1960s. Bill
Clinton was a kind of prototype Rhodes Scholar trained to advance
British interests in the United States that often coincide with those
of Bidlerberger style plutocrats.
In
some senses the use of ante-bellum and Jim Crowe era civil rights
logic to repress ordinary free speech and cultural concerns for the
conservation of the United States and the environment is an H.I.V.
auto-immune suppression of national independence in favor of
globalism and tyranny. Blacks, whites, and others have real racial
interests and historical evolutions that need to be mentioned now and
then. Apollonius' Letter to the Hebrews wasn't racist simply because
it had a particular target audience, neither was Aquinus' Summa
Contra Gentiles a racial diatribe. It is important to recognize that
race identity is still important in world political affairs. Now and
then political rewards and penalties are given to belonging to a
particular racial group such as in affirmative or African action
today. If the government gave a particular cash benefit for claiming
to be a negro such as a reservation condo with a fully stocked
refrigerator there wopuld be those offering evidence that 50
generations ago one of their ancestors procreated with an African and
they are thus entitled today though they don't look black.
Alternatively, swollen beneficiaries of government racial positive
bias may be abusive of those that write of concerns of white people
in America-such as that when hispanics take over demographically poor
white people cannot easily get hired, if at all, by hispanics to
work. Of course that is better than the ancient concerns of the 19th
century of being eaten or made a slave. Minorities-including white
minorities, need be concerned about being exploited even today in
this nearing perfection world (only kidding).
Society has changed a lot since Rowe vs. Wade. The music of that generation had many nuances that have faded yet remain exemplary of the relational anisotropy of gender and the influence of government.

Saudi-Iran War Could Drive Oil to $100 per Barrel
If Iran destroys the Persian Gulf Saudi Ras Tanura oil facility it will tighten world oil supply and drive up prices of Iranian and Saudi oil as well as that of the world's major oil producers. It is possible the unthinkable could happen.
How to Fix the Alaska State Budget Crisis
Cutting
state employment by 50% would be a place to start, so would raising
income taxes with a progressive plan of 0% for those earning less
than $50,000 and 20% on those earning more. The business tax rate
would be 0% for those earning fewer than one million dollars and 20%
on those earning more.
Next
up is moving the state capitol to Point McKenzie and Anchorage to
save money. Maybe the legislature could be on the Dimond Mall ice
rink until the capitol and Governor's palace are built. Juneau should
return to being a free enterprise city-it would do well. Also,
natural resource use of state properties should be taxed a flat 20%
royalty.
Reforming
and reducing the size of state government procedures such as the
prison and highway systems is desirable. They can all be upgraded.
Of
course the major problem is that state government mostly 'serves'
state government and doesn't want to stop 'serving' in times of
crisis. Government insiders kickback contracts to local contractors
and other favorites and that too is a challenging thing to stop.
Plainly
though the hope in the capitol is that oil will return to 100 dollars
per barrel-and it might. If the Saudis can lever Iran into a brief
war with missiles and Saudi Persian Gulf oil terminals are blasted
into rubble then shortages along with American oil exports permitted
again will help produce domestic American oil shortages and let the
price skyrocket. Then government business as usual can return to
Juneau.
Computer Reads my MTS Thesis and Additional Notes including humor, sarcasm and etc.
Some
have thought that white people should stand aside and evolve into a
silent minority in the brave new world order. Computer chips made in
Taiwan and speech synthesizer programming may help them do so. In
fact computer speech may enable a raceless approach to English
language idea distribution to the world.
Computer
Reads My MTS Thesis
Sometimes
an author must stand aside and let the computer read a book aloud for
itself. Speech synthesizers still have a way to go to be ready for
prime time live on stage, in the pulpit or delivering a Presidential
address yet I think the time will come when content of spoken books and so forth return to first place of importance in public
communications rather than the way it's said.
It
may be that the sons of Abraham that God could make from stones to
replace those failing to understand the kingdom of God and Spirit
with Jesus Christ could be regarded as a model for making smart dolls
and star figure miniatures to serve as sermon delivering proxies in a
reformed priesthood of believers context. Next Christmas such
inexpensive toys or tools made in China could delivery intelligent
discourse all around the globe reciting Shakespeare as well as
state-of-the-art theology essays.
Comedian dolls with absurdly funny atheist scientist delivery monologues on why God can't exist should do well. I think it's also the case that
Comedian dolls with absurdly funny atheist scientist delivery monologues on why God can't exist should do well. I think it's also the case that
Plainly
African villages that want their own stars to delivery sermons or
jihad messages inciting riot against politicians and subversion of
the new world order perhaps might be challenged by dolls advocating
jihad between Shi'a and Sunni; Iran and Iraq, in order to raise oil
prices after blowing up Saudi Arabia' Persian Gulf oil terminals.
Financially challenged public radio stations may be able to use
computer programs to replace raving talking heads on the payroll. A
station manager just pastes in whatever text he wants the program to
speak aloud and it says whatever its got.
I
think a profusion of race-neutral translatable discourse programmable
chips will help public and Christian education generally in the near
term.
Checking
the gender box of choice for one's rep (this would be a great tool
for dictators that want to fill a legislature cheaply) and adjusting
pitch and range characteristics for the speaker are really simple.
Almost any theologian could write a sermon for a church congregation
and have a computer read it aloud even in remote, isolated villagers
and yurts where people have no heat and little food supply and not
much time to read books. All they would need would be a ready
sermonizer box perhaps with Billy Graham like vocal built in ready to
read. Adding sound emulator technology to speech synthesizers will
free up a lot of performance issues and allow a focus on content to
take over. As it is today Presidents after Reagan seem to be more of
form than content-generally moving toward leftist content with
lawyers seeming like mouthpieces for mysterious writers of policy
content for them to enunciate.

A Comment in Reply to The Theoretical Liberal Repression of White People
South
Africa isn't representative of Europe or American history at all. The
external proletariat to Europe and the U.S.A. is preponderantly
non-white though. Modern liberalism yields turf to foreign tribes and
racial groups in the name of theory and political correctness
expecting quietism of the losers. Cruel excesses of history make
liberalism challenging to resist ideologically though it can lead to
Stalinist-Kymer Rouge sorts of things too. It is often overlooked
that it wasn't only conservative politicians that were cruel,
sadistic etc...humanity was itself commonly loutish and still has
original sin.
Archaeologists and anthropologists examined a village several thousand years old someplace near Jericho I believe and found that though it wasn't a battle site death by head injury was the major cause of male mortality. When the law isn't around and people don't have cell phones they crush one another's skulls for law enforcement to suit themselves it seems. So one thinks about Rwanda and Syria etc. Saudi Arabia executed 27 for New Year on some sort of economy budget clearance apparently. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2016/01/02/saudi-arabia-executions/78199624/
The founders are something like the Maytag repairman that fixed everything so well they had no business remaining. A futurism where democratic principles required the self-destruction of European or Euro-American culture probable wasn't envisioned. Fortunately one doesn't live for centuries so even if society evolves under the powers of agitating disrupters of the status quo into some sort of authoritarian non-white majoritarianism that will be a problem for future generations-and they might like it. At one point I had thought of becoming an educator in Africa or Eastern Europe and finding a local bride-never got around to it though. I think the modern battle between imperialism and democracy is moving toward imperials and oligarchy now. Straight white males are a minority even in the U.S.A. and their political prospects aren't especially good compared to the past. Some take the values of the founders for granted as if it was a Platonic realist form that can be materialized anyplace.
The balance of the world hasn't shared the historical experience that evolved the reformation and modern democracy. The founders were entirely Euro-Americans heavily influenced by the Reformation of Luther, Zwingli et al. Jabbar (as in Kareem) means Orion the Great Warrior, Muhammad Ali didn't choose Jesus Ali for a name. The world majority would like any minority to hush up and toe the line-simple logic and history. After a more than 500 years of occupation by Muslims the Spanish named their kids Jesus and sent Columbus west. Racial and tribal conflict was the way of human history since the beginning, yet now with the maturity of Democratic liberalism of the founders the leftist hyperbole of the ethic special interests has worked to silence people within a corporatist body. Politically correct globalism is a progressing wall of repression of civil rights in favor of newly empowered class rights. Affirmative action redistributed power and wealth to the rich and down graded white middle class men-these are not new trends. At least the Turks aren't sending plague ships or hurling plague infested rats over the walls presently although Erdogan admires Hitler's economic policies. I wonder if any majority is ever saved, and not just individuals that surf through the waves of history while God provides grace for society to keep slipping the noose of doom from their own nature.
Wisdom comprises learning rather than rashness. In political affairs and issues involving vast sociological and historical forces that are to a large extent secular rather than spiritual issues it is important for those with competence in various fields to apply it to public affairs rather than relying soley on corrupt authorities risen ton their level of incompetence. Alternatively Christian ministries in the media often are rather rash about political participation and advice wherein they may be offering wrong advice. Of course too many Christians seek to emulate the worldly lead that is something of a corporatist-leftist drift toward godless evolutionist romanticism with raving for all and hierarchical rule by a Plutonomy before its purged by the planetary majority of liberated non-western souls. Like chess the simple move may not always be the best. Spiritual concerns are different obviously. God as pure spirit may regard human affairs and wisdom in a different light than ordinary people of course, yet like expert farmers or physicians those knowledgeable in particular or general human affairs might like to limit their theory to that, and let God use people as tools through the power of the Holy Spirit. The default regarding silence today is eggression towards authoritarian and even Orwellian organizational powers. Martin Luther was not the most silent soul.

First Prediction for 2016
In 2016 it is a safe bet to guess that someone with media affiliation will prove that global warming is a hoax perpetrated by invisible extra-terrestrial pranksters upon a public yearning for Stalinism.
