President Obama's History of Forcing His Political Will on the People

President Obama got Harry Read and the Senate's majority Democrats to use the nuclear option to force Obamacare through by a single vote. To force homosexual marriage upon the nation he visited New York to twist arms before the State legislature voted getting passage. That influenced the nation and the courts in his way. The courts with Presidential support forced homosexual marriage upon the nation. When better, cheaper ways to provide medical and dental service for the poor and Veterans existed the President choose the Nixonesque corporatist health model ion order to force all Americans to give up personal information to the corporate world. The President made Bush II tax cuts permanent when just a single veto was needed to support Democrat tradition. No Democrats dared oppose him. Only Bernie Sanders; then an independent, resisted from the left. The President instead forced youth to buy unneeded insurance to play for Obamacare-a hidden tax on youth.


The President will now do what he can to force another supporter of corruption onto the U.S. Supreme court. Classical liberalism is fine, yet contemporary liberals differentiate themselves from the classic liberalism of the founders with a preference for atheism and immorality. They warp libertarian principles to the point of non-judgmentalism as if a state could exist without rational structure and governance and left to the ministrations of global corporate powers, foreign governments, foreign interests, crouching tigers and hidden dragons (well-maybe that's a little over-dramatic). If Al Qaeda and ISIS want secure global communications encryption they may buy Apple phones for now, yet forcing encryption breaking algorithms to be given up to the F.B.I. through the courts is not the same as forcing the Senate to give up the Supreme Court to godless, immoral leftists.

Historian Jeffrey Rosen wrote starting with a quote of Barrack Obama in evaluating the Obama administration; "“Where I can act without Congress, I’m going to do so.” — that he has inflamed his opponents and strengthened their resolve to reverse his achievements. Just as the Supreme Court unanimously rejected Obama’s efforts to use recess appointments, so it could reject his immigration orders.



The Republicans in the Senate have only one task in 2016; to save the U.S. Supreme Court from being taken over further by depraved and godless leftist existentialist hedonist corporatiststs that care all about science, swank and indexed Wall Street funds and the Bible not at all. Republican have just one job for the rest of the years and that is to keep the third branch of Government free from Clinton-Obama corporatist-atheist predatory sycophantic status. Republicans need to keep Harvard leftists, skull and bone insiders, Bilderberger goons and other shills for the rot at the heart of the nation from increasing. Republicans need to defend and conserve the late conservative Justice Anton Scalia's Supreme Court post for a new conservative justice named by a new Republican President in 2016.

Digital Community Appointments VDTs

Though digital phones may have made the idea redundant I wonder if there isn't a need for community digital appointment calendars for offices, homes etc. These would be dedicated very thin screen video digital displays that hang like an artwork on a wall wherein anyone's appointment or task scheduled could be input (through blue-tooth, speech recognition etc.) recorded and set with an audio and visual reminders of the day and time.


It could be a simplified and consolidated way of keeping tasks straightened out. In some cases conflicting scheduling might be noted and alerts sent out to that effect if necessary to the parties or system manger if one exists. A suggest retail price would be $2.99.

Why Don't Soccer Players Wear Corked Helmets?

Brain damage inflicted in soccer players from heading soccer balls might be decreased if specialized corked helmets were worn. Some helmets might be designed to increase the distance a soccer ball batted with a human head could travel. I don't know what soccer rules are regarding headgear.

Bill Clinton's Logic Failure in Comprehending Why Balkans War Intervention

Bill Clinton failed to understand the logic for Serbian War intervention. President Clinton exploited the war to get President Yeltsin to give up Ukraine creating the traditional kernel for east-west political schism. He also enable Muslim expansion and goals for Europe and the U.S.A.. The primary reason for intervention by the west and N.A.T.O. was to snuff a wildfire in the nascent post-cold war environment and reinforce the convergence of Russian, former Warsaw pact states and Western economic and political interests. Refereeing the Balkan Orthodox Christian-Muslim divorce required awareness of the history of the region. The Clinton administration exploited N.A.T.O.'s strength to usurp the process and look for financial futures. Today about twenty years later the cold war has been reignited by another Democrat President who also expanded Muslim terrorism and immigration to Europe with protracted support for needless Syrian civil war. Syria has valuable Mediterranean Sea real estate. Counterproductive intervention era policies led to vast future financial and political costs and lost opportunities for the U.S.A., Europe, Russia and elsewhere.

President G.H.W. Bush was cool on intervention. President Clinton was happy enough to stand idle when the Rwandan genocide occurred yet found the Balkans conflict more appealing. A difference is the Rwandan conflict presented not opportunities for land grabbing while Serbian was a Bully's pulpit showing the power of N.A.T.O. while former Soviet Empire was broken.

A Pew research article noted that by 2070 Muslims will be the most populous religious group on Earth. They have the greatest fecundity rate presently. Four of ten Christian then will live in Sub-Saharan Africa and the west as a civilization will experience substantial challenges from Islam within and without. India will be the most populous Muslim nation in the world though yet a minority in that country.

It is wrong to overestimate the intelligence of American political leaders.

Ranier Weiss for Physics Nobel?

Ranier Weiss of M.I.T is likely to win the Nobel Prize for physics this year for inventing the paradigm for the gravity wave detector named L.I.G.O. that observed gravity waves. That's the good news. The bad news is that Weiss is from Massachusetts and the discovery will swell atheist leftists further against individual free enterprise, sanctity of private property and Christian faith. Someone should invent a swell-wave detector to find the source of heartlessness in science that overcomes political and social justice. Convergent parameters of Christian and scientific cosmology are possible that keep Bible truth intact. Elitists of the ugly sort inevitably find some cause to trim the disadvantaged and the masses to reinforce their own political desires.


Sure it would be wonderful to colonize the moon and develop habitations throughout the solar system, yet it would be good to do so without 95% cyborg amalgam humans designed to conserve fuel and produce work most efficiently that have replaced human beings. in the quest for data some scientists lose moral bearings and perhaps prospects for eternal life in a redeemed mode. As the ancient proverb relates; what profit hath a scientist if he gains all the world's data but loses his/her or its own soul? The scientist might replay; a his/her/it has no soul. Some scientists got no soul.

Extra Reasons Hierarchic Ministries Resist Priesthood of Believers Reformation

More reasons why people resist reforming the church with a better priesthood of believers structure. I recently encountered a new idea about why some ministers are the essential obstructionists. Consider 1 Timothy 2King James Version (KJV)
2 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.”

A defrocked Baptist minister in expostulating on the theme of intercession and authority said that Paul put Kings first of all men of whom we should pray. The good man was apparently blind to the first stanza wherein all men are to be the object of prayer. The minister was a firm believer in ranks, and of course hierarchical church ranks and offices as of greatest value. He could not either differentiate between aristocratic social structures of the first century and feudal era and democracy today. That is he believed all men are under political authority in the United States as in the same respect as citizens of ancient feudal and monarchic realms were subjects; and of course he was dead wrong.

There was great value in encountering the issue for me. Paul was more of a democrat than an aristocrat and places the common man and women before rulers and 'authorities'.

Today in the United States authorities are public servants with special tasks they are allowed to enact; commissioned officers as it were, yet they are of no higher social class and are just commoners like everyone else; America has no royals and if it did they should be hung by the neck until dead.

For those that highly desire to live as priestly aristocrats or petty bourgeois the structure of hierarchical priesthoods are vital interest. They even develop theological hermeneutics to explain how it is that only through men can God act in the world-in response to intercessory prayers with support or reproof. I think that plainly silly.

In the United States men and women and certain legally defined roles and areas they are allowed to work in or even own in order to allow people to exist freely with minimum interference with each other. Nobody is legally superior though; not policemen, politicians, doctors, lawyers, sports celebrities and so forth; no one. There are no inherited rights to political office; not the Bushes, the Clintons or George Washington's great grandson-in-law Robert E. Lee.

In aristocracy and ancient monarchies though, authorities actually were superior beings socially. A prince had the power to put people to death because they displeased him for whatever reason including simply existing. The authorities had royal military and constabularies too, and those represented the power of the crown. They were quite unlike American authority figures such as the school custodian authorized to take whatever litter he finds on the school grounds, or a President that may be tried for intern molestation if she is under 18.

It is important for Sanhedrin wanna bes to have verisimilitude to having the keys of the kingdom authorization to bring the word of God to the lost. I think they can get people saved through the power of the Lord, yet the priestly exclusive method that inevitably exceeds the old testament tithing rate of one-third of one-tenth of a mans produce ever third year also defends bad theology on several issues because most are not theologians, require dominant relations in order to have authority and just don't do peer theology examination.

Many of these souls stress personalized and charismatic, more emotional and less rational approach to the ministry. They tend to make promises and imply that being saved entitles one to power and privilege and representatives of Christ on Earth. Sound- is associated with the Logos of John (that was actually a theological idea of Heraclitus), and through the word of authorized ministers all things on Earth will be subject in some senses though Satan still seeks to devour. That is a powerful message to the powerless and lost. If one is charismatic enough at learning the ropes one may also prosper in ministering with a ten percent tithe from all seeking of course 'sacrificial' tithing at higher rates.

While the right wing charismatic ministry supports tax cuts for the rich and everyone else, they do not support tithe cuts or a flat tithing rate of 1% for non-working priests that was the Old Testament rate.

There are many reasons why charismatic ministries work to convert the uneducated well. Though it is effective for a while eventually as people are educated they tend to drift away for few ministries today support either a priesthood of believers reinforced by high-quality reformed theology.

There are a couple of opinions about speaking in tongues. One is that at Pentecost everyone spoke in a language that wasn't there own yet that others understood. Another is that people spoke gibberish in a form of primitive rave. Each may be true at various times, yet I think neither were intended to show that one is holier-than-thou as it may be used in charismatic ministries.

I did wonder about the speaking in tongues though. There are several good reasons for its existence in ancient times that are interesting to consider. I will mention a couple.
Imagine you live in ancient Israel conquered first by Greeks than Romans in comparatively modern times, there have been Egyptian and Babylonian captivities and a number of other foreign elements of oppression. The ancient languages are all over and one's own Hebrew language is occasionally eclipsed with Aramaic and such. Raving in tongues may have been a emotional way to break the morphological bonds binding one to an inferior social class or outright comparative meaninglessness.

Speaking in tongues thus seems to be a deep thing than many are willing to consider today. It could also be that existing in a mono-language culture without subconsciously repressed alternative languages than one knows with varying depth supports enunciation of a synthetic new language without fully developed rules of grammar. Of course it could be that the Holy Spirit puts words in the mouth of a Christian occasionally-he made Balaam's ass speak at one point when Numbers 22:28 she said to Balaam, “What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?”, yet God can pre-determine anything including language.


Some hierarchical and charismatic ministers deny that anything is substantively pre-determined...they are not Calvinists logically, yet most would agree with pre-tribulationist hermeneutic of the Revelation. In short, its all sort of a mess.

Making an M.A. Thesis Template

In working on my M.T.S. thesis I had to research the form a thesis should take in order to meet the technical structural requirements. I must say that for a guy living in a tent most of the time, and for the prior eight years in Alaska, it is sometimes challenging enough to keep warm much less battle the computer to get all of the indentations and spacings just so.

Actually though the structure for a thesis isn't terribly difficult and once one has the right example documents, easily available on-line, settings up one's page margins, headers and paragraph criteria as well as font go rather quickly.

Writing a thesis is informative. One discovers the Forest Service and other government documents often use that thesis style and structure for their presentations so they are standard and look professional. After setting up one's one thesis and getting it right it would be a good idea to save it as a template for use in publishing any sort of document in the future so they all have that thesis style. 

http://www.kstk.org/2016/02/09/forest-service-seeks-input-on-new-anan-master-plan-mooring-float/ example of forest service Master's thesis style master plan presentation at the four links at end of the news article

Some college insiders avoid time wasting thought on technical details and simply mass produce templates so students can rather paint  by the numbers in a manner of speaking. I suppose the rich have often done so.

https://physics.illinois.edu/grad/thesis-templates.asp this one requires knowledge of LaTex. I suggest one make a template for-onself and use liber office or a similar open source program to make a template from a word document.

Still, there are many M.A. thesis templates out there in cyberspace. Here are a few...

https://www.k-state.edu/grad/etdr/template/mastersinstructions.doc

https://gradcollege.okstate.edu/content/thesis-and-dissertation-templates

I suggest dumping some experimental content into the thesis template, such as the value of digging holes deeper and deeper before filling them in or working to take the dirt out of the whole and into another before placing the good stuff in it.

Here is a draft of my M.T.S. thesis. I still have work to do with it, and getting those numbers to line up correctly is one of those computer issues that never would have occurred with a typewriter. Working on tech issues rather than content is a good thing to avoid with a template.

Trump Could Appoint Conservative to High Court

It isn't likely that President Donald Trump would want to create an instant rift with his fellow Republican congress if elected and probably would give them a conservative such as they want. To start his first term in a protracted battle with Congress instead of addressing the nation's substantial challenges would simply be bad politics.

President H.W. Bush, today what would be called by right-wing extremists a liberal, was in his day regarded as a moderate in comparison to the conservative Ronald Reagan who practiced fast than light real politik with Gorbachev that H.W. on taking office had trouble in realizing and needed time to be briefed on why nuclear arms stockpiles should continue to be so drastically reduced (he was initially resistant). H.W. Bush appointed not only the liberal David Souter, he also appointed the excellent conservative Clarence Thomas to the court.


"Upon Souter's nomination, Bush made clear that he had no litmus test for court appointees. "You might just think that the whole nomination had something to do with abortion," Bush told reporters upon nominating Souter. "It's something much broader than that. I have too much respect for the Supreme Court for that."[2] quote from above wiki article

The Ways Demos Could Have Murdered Scalia

People in Dallas have written on the topic of how Scalia could have been murdered. It hadn't occurred to me before I saw the article, yet I can add one method of inducing a heart attack; sophisticates in tech might have beamed some kind of electrical charger at him or infiltrated a tiny drone able to provide a shock. Scalia was somewhat vulnerable at a Texas ranch.

http://www.dallasobserver.com/news/3-ways-scalia-could-have-been-killed-8031773

Sure there would be motivation to take down a conservative justice before the appointer of radical liberals to the bench leaves office. The death of Scalia is a court composition changer if a liberal were to be appointed. The President ought to recuse himself and avoid the appearance of conflict of interest since it would be too convenient to use the passing of the best conservative justice in a generation to wrench America's future.

The Presidential modus operandi on exploiting circumstances to the utmost are known though and the liberal media is assuredly an accomplice. Scalia is said to have dies of natural causes, yet they also said J.F.K. was put down by one shooter.
