Capitalism Fails to Deliver on Lyme Disease Vaccine

An effective vaccine against the most common tick transmitted disease in the U.S.A.-Lyme disease does exist. It was withdrawn from distribution a couple of years agio for various reasons by the manufacturer.

More than 30,000 cases of Lyme disease are reported annually though the actual rate may be much higher. Probably the government should intervene in order to allow the vaccine to be produced abroad and distributed in the U.S.A.

GlaxoSMithKline produced LYMErix reported at the website above to be 80% effective in adults and 100% in children. Its unfortunate that anti-vaccine politics and other factors brought the pharmaceutical to make the decision to stop production. Even if demand was low because many people simply don't think about prevention; that doesn't mean that everyone is daft. For useful products that consumers should have the option to buy and that actually exist yet are repressed for various reasons-most notably the chemically heated from the can shave cream by Gillette named 'The Hot One' banned in the U.S.A. since about 1973-the government should havge some kind of policy to coordinate bringing the products to market.

Army Reinvents 'The Big Gun'

Rail gun canon and portable fuel cells to keep up with the Navy would have benefited society more. Old field piece tech is of dubious social value and the result of introverted technicians. Special airlift copters could have accelerated deployment. The army should have researched solar powered electrolysis to make hydrogen in the field or whatever to refuel the fuel cells. Get with it guys! These things could be needed on Mars or the moon someday!

Cruz, Kasich, Romney et al; Spoiler-Losers

Trump, Ross Perot and Undivided Republicanism

Donald Trump, a billionaire like Ross Perot who ran as an independent against George H.W. Bush in 1992, is the alternative to uncreative bureaucratic self-promoting career politicians. The two generic candidate rivals of Trump have said they would not vote for him if he got the nomination as the people want. In other words Kasich and Cruz provide sore loser's boos that support the democratic party candidate with divide and get whumped thoughtlessness.

Donald Trump has replied in kind, as he did in words too after a Cruz Super Pac attacked trumps wife viscously and Cruz didn't condemn the ad loudly as he should.

The lesson to be learned is that a divided Republican party or one running half-heartedly cannot win. Romney of course didn't get evangelical enthusiasm and the result was another four years of Obama and homosexual marriage. Plainly Republic 'establishment' leaders differ too little from Democrats such as Clinton and Obama that in being sycophants of globalism over America-first and vast tax cuts for the rich while illegal aliens flood over the border.

Failing to elect Perot and running a somewhat lame G.H.W. Bush re-election campaign meant the decline of the U.S.A. following the 1992 election with vast public debt, avoidable foreign wars, the rise of Muslim terrorism and the decline pf public morals. You would think Republican leadership could learn something from that and also learn to lead on environmental rectification as a global activity that changes applied economic procedures.

Well, it seems Trump's year. The 'Republican establishment' should wake up and stop being live spoiler-losers.

Arctic Winter Icepack Set Record Winter Minimum

The Arctic ice-pack maximum set a record low size Thursday because of the warming trend of recent decades. Arctic ocean water should thus heat faster this spring and summer. Polar bear will spend more time on the rocks or distance swimming next summer.

Politicians of course often being generically mildly retarded with avarice and elected to fulfill greed will see only the economic opportunities to exploit the natural resources of the Arctic. Note the Baltic Sea change.

If Capitol Shooter Was Muslim Get Apology Ready

If the shooter that hit a policeman at the nation's capitol complex was Muslim the President will need to make an apology for the nation offending Muslims somewhere I suppose. The media have the public so trained to give up their national political sovereignty that people here or in Europe are regarded as extreme right for wanting to halt immigration or at least restrict it to a reasonable number carefully screened.

Globalists want one world order with people just consumers and without rights. The environment will suffer, Muslims atheists, Christians and environmentalists won't be happy, and pluralism will perish along with secure national boundaries. The leadership will be a generic bureaucracy oppressing masses and dissent won't be possible. End game logic.

The Genius of Jesus' Ethics

The ethical system taught by the Lord Jesus Christ is greater than one taught by an Einstein or Newton. It surpasses incomparably the eightfold path taught by Siddartha, it makes modern utilitarianism simplistic and entails Kant's categorical imperative while transcending it. No other man in history has presented such a vast, comprehensive ethical system for human behavior that works in the real, live human social environment.

The Buddha's ethics were that of abnegation in the realization that temporal life is comparatively meaningless in contrast to eternity or nothingness before and after personal existence. Abnegation or indifference about what occurs in life is a reaction to existential facts, and a way of experiencing the good and bad of reality yet it does not construct a rational ethical system for human advancement to an ideal condition. The ethics of the Lord Jesus does that, and is effective even if the application is incomplete and only a portion of humanity comprehends.

Consider this excerpt from Matthew chapter 5;

“3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for their's is the

kingdom of heaven.

4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be

comforted.

5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after

righteousness: for they shall be filled.

7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called

the children of God.

10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for

righteousness' sake: for their's is the kingdom of heaven.

11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and

persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against

you falsely, for my sake.

12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your

reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets

which were before you.

13 ¶ Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost

his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth

good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden

under foot of men.

14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an

hill cannot be hid.

15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a

bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all

that are in the house.

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may

see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in

heaven.

17 ¶ Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the

prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass,

one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till

all be fulfilled.

19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least

commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be

called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever

shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in

the kingdom of heaven.”

Jesus' ethical system is insinuated throughout the New Testament. The ethical genius of the Lord Jesus is applicable to this temporal realm yet also prepairs the saved for the world beyond. The system brings humanity to a better condition even when the belief of the people does not extend unto the post-temporal destiny of heaven or hell.

Within the temporal, comparatively illusory world experience of human life in the steady-state thermodynamically in motion Universe the ethics of the Lord draw humanity to cohere together with respect of liberty and justice for all. It is not a warrior religion urge to conquer and force everyone to submit to a trans-temporal deity. The ethics of the Lord Jesus draw humanity toward social perfection temporally, and that is a penultimate minimalistic transformation toward the fulfillment of each human soul in God's eternal plan actualized through the saving grace of the Lord Jesus' sacrifice on the cross.

The ethics of the Lord are worthy of a lifetime study one goes about their ordinary work-a-day existence. Regardless of one's having faith in eternal life or not when the temporal experience terminates, to learn to know Jesus Christ and his ethics is to transform one's temporal way of being discretely. A soul learning the Lord's way of ethics becomes a universal citizen contributing to the advancement of society. As he or she is drawn to the perfect way of the Lord and knows his way even those disbelieving in eternal life may encounter a regenerative experience and even accept the Lord as their personal savior and understand the sacrifice he made at Calvary to atone for their original and subsequent sin.

The ethics of the Lord are a continuous regenerative factor for human social existence leading some of the elect unto eternal life with God.

Two Christian Topics

 People often aren't well informed about Celtic Christianity including Patrick and Columba. Some don't even know the Venerable Bede of Lindisfarne (not a Celt I think). Its all interesting history- Christians prior to the reformation were still Christians even if their clergy was in error about some things as at present. Without a priesthood of believers attending church is a little like being a subscribed spectator at the opera although the 'mass' spirituality reaches out to the audience whom helpfully over-tithe commercial career Christians instructing 2nd class flock Christians in errors concerning pre-tribulation end times etc.

 Justin Martyr was an interesting guy-he actually studied philosophy with Stoic and Peripatetic philosophers and was able to interpret John's writing of the logos or word of God within Parmenides-Plato's tradition as Ladd pointed out (the later point). Martyr may have been a link unto moderns such as Hegel with his concept of God evolving history (equivalent to being in coherent space-time infused with God's purpose). Plotinus later developed the thought of Martyr I suppose-not just with Ammonius Saccas as an influence. The ancient world had a lot of intellectual activity.

Remedies Against Satan's Devices

In the present era of moral decay in the U.S.A. citizens faced with external challenges from Muslim terror/expansionism, global warming, species, habitat loss and internal challenges presented by atheists may be swamped by wickedness and wicked leaders. it is useful to recollect that the saints of prior generations were also challenged by Satan's devices.

Assuredly modern global communications have brought many to choose trendy swinging wise-guy social commo takeover lifestyles formerly common to criminals of bunk, socialist sophisms and capitalist expropriations instead of plain material production in farming, building, invention and manufacture. Church leadership has more in common today with elite, non-representative political parties wise guys that once were democratics or republicans than with an egalitarian priesthood of believers where all Christians participate as team players rather than as subscribed spectators at an opera.

God is good. Jesus Christ is the sole way for salvation and reconciliation/renormalization unto God. The Son of God is God.

Thomas Brooks (1608 – 1680 wrote a small book in the 17^h century named; 'Remedies Against Satan's Devices'. This Easter Sunday it is worth considering again a few of the devices mentioned in Brooks; book that have brought so many to the brink of eternal ruin…

“2. By painting sin with virtue's colors: For remedies, consider that

1) sin is never the less vile by being so painted

2) the more sin is so painted the more dangerous it is

3) we ought to look on sin with that eye with which within a few hours we shall see it

4) sin cost the life-blood of the Lord Jesus

3. By the extenuating and lessening of sin: For remedies, consider that

1) sin which men account small brings God's great wrath on men

2) the giving way to a less sin makes way for the committing of a greater

3) it is sad to stand with God for a trifle

4) often there is most danger in the smallest sins

5) the saints have chosen to suffer greatly rather than commit the least sin

6) the soul can never stand under the guilt and weight of sin when God sets it home

upon the soul

7) there is more evil in the least sin than in the greatest affliction

4. By showing to the soul the best men's sins and by hiding from the soul their virtues,

their sorrows, and their repentance: For remedies, consider that

1) the Spirit of God records not only the sins of the saints, but also their repentance

2) these saints did not make a trade of sin

3) though God does not disinherit his sinning people, He punishes them severely

4) God has two main ends in recording the falls of His saints

5. By presenting God to the soul as One made up all of mercy: For remedies, consider

1) It is the sorest of judgments to be left to sin upon any pretense whatever

2) God is as just as He is merciful

3) sins against mercy will bring the greatest and sorest judgments on men

4) though God's general mercy is over all His works, yet His special mercy is confined

to those that are divinely qualified

5) the saints now glorified regarded God's mercy as a most powerful argument

against, and not for, sin

6. By persuading the soul that repentance is easy and that therefore the soul need not

scruple about sinning: For remedies, consider that

1) repentance is a difficult work above our own power

2) repentance changes and converts the whole man from sin to God

3) repentance is a continued act

4) if repentance were easy, the lack of it would not strike millions with terror and

drive them to hell

5) to repent of sin is as great a mark of grace as not to sin

6) Satan now suggests that repentance is easy, but shortly he will drive his dupes to

despair by presenting it as the hardest work in the world”.-end excerpt Brooks

Obama's Racist Appeal & Donald Trump's Campaign

President Obama drew 95% of black voters in two elections because of his race yet none compared that to Wallacism or David Dukism. The U.S. economy grew at just a 1% annual rate and about 90% of the nation's income went to 10% of the people. More than 50 million Americans took just 1% of the income. Millions have been forced out of work to retire on federal programs. The public debt is greater than 19 trillion dollars and far too much U.S. production is offshore while the middle class and poor haven been levered into lower earnings over time. Donald Trump seems like the last American Presidential candidate.

Democracy requires secure boundaries and immigration control as much as sovereign power over all of its legal premises to be an actual democracy rather than just nominally appearing as one.

The republican bureaucratic infrastructure are working against a populist candidate far too strenuously to dissuade people from believing that they don't comprise part of a hybrid jackass-elephant Republicratic party. If the GOP sinks Trump they will probably sink their own party's future too. The U.S. political system seems rigged by the irresponsible and unaccountable.
