Obama Reportedly Designing Clinton Style Mortgage Crisis

President Obama was reported by the N.Y. Post to be designing a Bill Clinton style financial crisis. The article also said that a global crisis wouldn't necessarily be attached 'because the banks learned their lesson'. Yet with about a third of rental properties owned by foreign investors any U.S. home mortgage crisis might stimulate an international crisis.

Foreign investors buy up U.S. properties in the boom and bust cycles designed by Clinton-Obama style economies at the lowest possible price.

Priesthood of Believers and Ethical Reform

The kingdom of God should be allowed to develop a more concrete presence in-the-world through a priesthood of believers church structure. The present era of commercial Christian ministries preaching to a laity that supports them should be viewed as a temporal stage on the evolution of the church to fulfill the post-millennial eschatology of becoming a majority.

Commercial Christian ministries are separate professional hierarchies viewed today with an implicit conflict of interest in so far as they preach for pay. Ethically speaking business reforms are done to rectify structure to profit. Christian ministries also are viewed as having such ethics too much. Instead of making reforms that might impinge the commercial ministries profit, comfort or power those are set aside. Catholic church reforms to prevent priest child sex abuse just didn't happen until billions were paid out in civil legal settlements and dices closed with churches in hoc. The deeper history of the church shows a history of resistance to reform.

Protestant churches have the same commercial Christian recalcitrance to reform when reform conflicts with priestly power, profit and prestige. While business should reform to profit and not reform to be more moral or fair within capitalist practice-theory today, church ministries should not place profit or morality, ethics or christian concepts. Many churches admitted homosexual marriage to their doctrine in contradiction to obvious scriptural references to homosexuality being sin. Churches losing numbers may have sought to reverse the loss with appeals to homosexuals.

A priesthood of believers would help reassert a Christian moral and ethical presence in society that is in decline as global corporatism increases its stranglehold on national politics and finance in the United States Global corporatism supported homosexual marriage before the corporate proxy Roberts court forced it upon the nation. Pay Pal is just the latest of innumerable corporations and CEO's that have expressed support for homosexual marriage. Business and finance is completely queer-friendly and CEOs that don't support that and say so publicly are terminated. Ordinary people must do business though the beastly business finance structure and the commercial Christian priesthood hasn't done anything to relieve that, nor can they. Instead they continue to support corporate global policy and their political proxies that nominally mention popular evangelical political choices that have little or no chance of reversing the general corporate trend.

Commercial Christian ministries reinforce and vaguely model the global corporate business environment; a priesthood of believers would not..

A priesthood of believers would have two different forms. One in performance of worship and the other in performance of Christian sharing and support networks.

Church worship roles would be equal among believers with roles rotating weekly. Small worship groups of ten or twelve would make it a friendly environment though all could gather for a sing-together. There would be old and new testament readers. A secretary taking prayer requests and concerns, and there would be a reader of a sermon provided by a theological qualified source. Additionally five minutes would be given for anyone to have a say. 

A 'show off' slot for the very gifted sermonizer of ten minutes might be optionally set aside, yet with three functioning ranks of beginner, intermediate and elder with time in rank and tests required for promotion there should be no shortage of qualified people.

Because tithing in the commercial Christian ministry is highly inflated over that of the Old Testament that was one-tenth of a producer's crops to be distributed every third year in three parts; to widows, orphans and non-working priests, that one-percent to priests has risen 900% to ten-percent. That should be changed back to one-percent in the priesthood of believers structure.

In the financial and Christian sharing network support service section of the priesthood of believers a vast Christian presence would develop nationally. Attendance would be kept and participation in worship recorded and available on-line to every priesthood of believers church location. Attending a worship service in Portland Maine would be the same as attending a church in Portland Oregon for the individual Christian. In either case his or her presence would be necessary since he is a professing Christian participant weekly him or herself.

Practical Christian support would entail financial security against emergencies with each individual building up an emergency account of five-thousand dollars. Christians could use that as an alternate to commercial businesses for certain payments and tithing.

The basic Christian believer's account would be filled over time from tithing, contributions above tithing, and from payment for working for Christians. It is not a savings account though. Withdrawals would meet certain peer-reviewed criteria and accounts could not be allowed to surpass $5000. Once one's account was full the tithes could fill the accounts of others if needed for peer-reviewed reasons, go to church expenses and missions.

The priesthood of believers sharing networks could comprise job exchanges with rated values whereby members could receive fair compensation for their account or trade for needed services such as medical, dental, roofing or transportation. The priesthood of believers might also have a member's motel and monastery franchise nationwide growing from bed and breakfast environments. Members that had a history of membership solid enough to reinforce the belief that they are actual members; perhaps a year in attendance and continuing attendance at least monthly would be eligible to use the service for a nominal cost. Such Christian networking and priesthood of believers evangelizing through lifestyle would have a positive ethical presence amidst society greater than the rather dog-without-teeth biting at political issues approach through impotent politicians.

The U.S.A. Went Wrong on Ethics

Cicero covered Natural Law well. Modern atheists don't reason that deeply. I think the atheist today is more of  a fashion atheist instead of a conscientious atheist. They don't want to be bothered with inconvenient truth and simply negate it. Some go for Nietzsche though and the beyond good and evil paradigm. The  globe's ad hoc informal  plutocratic laws personify the movement beyond good and evil with an element of Hobbe's Leviathan tossed in perhaps. Some would say it's the fault of the Clintons. It could be deeper than that.

Without the spirit of God people are lost.

Sotomayor in Agreement With McConnell; Byte in Garland

Supreme Court feminist Sotomayor in effect planted a big kiss on Senate Majority leader Mitch McConnel in slighting President Obama's court  for being white, Ivy-League and male; well, that is, she said the court needs more diversity. Maybe she is anti-Semitic since the court has a majority or nearly so of Jews.

At any rate I have a suggestion for diversity; add the 12th man, or rather computer A.I. system to the court to input all the data and make its own finding on court cases. Then after the judges reach a decision, reveal what the A.I. system found in order to determine a little more scientifically if the justices were just politicing again.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2016/04/09/sotomayor-wants-more-diversity-on-court-after-obama-picks-garland-white-ivy-male.html

The A.I. justice should be housed in a Darth vader style enclosure and have red glowing eyes and occasionally make a growling, scowling sort of noise during hearings.

Why Learn Latin Today- Are School Planners Daft?

My grandfather made the fourth grade before being a logger. Google language translators help. Why be mediocre at dead languages? Scholarship has changed and the curriculum expanded greatly. One has far more knowledge to learn today than in 1917 to be even marginally competent. History, philosophy, science, theology etc. How can one neglect learning which platonic solids tranform into higher dimensions or that there are just three that work in infinite dimensions? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2s4TqVAbfz4 Just signing up for Data services with Verizon, Net10, a hotspot or broadband requires knowledge unless one has dumped money. On languages the main problem today is extermination of the languages of small groups. I met the granddaughter of the last speaker of Eyak (an Alaska language group), I believe it was. That is sad rather than the inability to listen to mass in Latin with comprehension.

The Mountain of Lust (poem)

Beyond the spires and mist lay the great mountain

past the forest canopy in its silence of life dreams
where a path led upward
and visions of the emerald world
ran the course

Somewhere with beingness and corporeal actualization
a body of motion set to conquer
a foot ahead of another
always drawing onward
else the lust for summitting
be spent with sweat and mosquito bytes

Repeated a thousand million times
the words of the din corporation
demised those conditions asterisked
that were externalities to the monad at the top
where the largest was the smallest
pinpointed with a flagging poignancy of fulfillment

The mountain of lust set in majestic repose
drew the charged particles unto it
seeking to join their motivations onto its great parts
where yawning chasms barely able to remain awake
brought rope-swinging adventurers to life-risking
oscillations as metronymic pantomime
onward and upward 600 feet more

Waves of gravity lapped upon the world gently
sent from distant black holes
with millions of times the mass of the sun
consuming star clusters with burping gravitational changes
climbing the great mountain that lust overcome
without philosophic reflections
without the spirit of God.

Would Arnold Lift Hillary's Arm Up?

Bernie said Hillary isn't qualified to be President. He said she said he wasn't first. Probably Arnold wouldn't lift up either's arm as he did G.W. Bush though.

I am sure that Hillary's record as Sect. of State converted into that of C.E.O. of a major corporation would have got her a bonus while the corporation lost it's shirt. Dead ambassador, rise of ISIS, protracted conflict in Syria that was entirely, easily avoidable.

Maybe if her husband wasn't a President Hillary couldn't have been elected to the House of Representatives. That doesn't make her unqualified however-simply a stand in like Putin's when he was gone from office because of term limits. A law degree is all required these days...enriching the Plutonomy and down-sizing American independence does the rest.

Public Has Unfavorable Opinion of Media, Congress, Judiciary, Candidates

The U.S. public has an unfavorable opinion of all those leaders sold out to globalism and plutocracy. Chief Justice Roberts has the greatest Wall Street investments and voted for homosexual marriage; plutocratic capitalism has no moral or boundaries and respects none. Public opinion of media and government are bad.

The media report that a majority of the uninformed and brainwashed would not vote for Donald Trump, yet if he were mano y womano against Hillary people would retire to Panama with the boomers who will spend social security moneys traveling all over South America or recognize that Trump might shake things up a bit.

The egression toward rulers from Indonesia, Canada or Cuba is a way of oevring toward an ebay world economy with boatloads of cheap stuff made in China for those earning to breathe free of freedom that isn't free. Boundaries are just for the mythos of democracy that would fade away replaced by planetary plutocracy under fairy queens of Zil.

Trump may be a lasht blessed effort to shock the nation to its senses and turn away from a slide into oblivion of globalism and unrepresentative government for the people governed unless brainwashed into conformity to the likeness of the beast mode on dope after a sex change; who am I to judge?

Donald Trump’s shocking language and ideas are not the sort of retiring placidity such as candidate Obama brought to the table like a butler. Trump isn't a butling kind of guy but that doesn't make him bad. If Obama had said he was going to bring queer marriage to the nation in 2008 that would have been shocking. Cleverly he 'evolved' that inconvenient truth until a later time when he had enough folks by the balls to force it through. Trump hasn't learned that art of deception well enough to have his touche' rimed by the media.

Nietzsche's warning that when you look into the abyss, it looks back at you, is popular with the cognoscenti of godless futility today. It seems to me though that Donald Trump looking into the abyss would say something like 'kiss my ass' rather than gaze in fear at the lurkers in the depth. If one must combat aliens and extraterrestrials rather than become appetizers for them, that is good enough.

Dutch Har-Bing & Scotch Ukraine

I blogged this in order to use that line. Finally the Dutch binged something turning down a Ukraine-EC sweetheart deal with a popular referendum to just say no.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/dutch-voter-rejection-of-eu-ukraine-trade-deal-could-be-a-harbinger/2016/04/07/316184f6-fcc7-11e5-813a-90ab563f0dde_story.html

Though the Dutch  gave Pakistan nukular weapons training documents and Anish Giri drew every game in the 2016 Candidate's tournament, those tulip bulb growing lowlanders had the sense to nix the continuing hot takeover of all that fine agricultural property on the East bank without Russian consent. Maybe the Panama papers had something to do with that, maybe not. Globalism that is the New World Order of the plutocratic brand of capitalism just wants it all. The U.S.A> probably should create national binding referenda too^5.

Cruz Trashes New Yorkers; What About the Zouaves?

When Ted Cruz's ancestors where fighting on the wrong side of the Spanish American war or visiting Canada, New Yorkers were already very bloodied and experienced from the civil war about fourscore years before. It is worth recollecting the bloody experience that is briefly recounted in this article about the Zouaves with their bright red uniforms. There are more books on the topic of the Wilderness campaign and Manassas. One must ask; where was Ted Cruz on 9-11?

The 10th and 11th New York volunteers (National Guard) were a disciplined lot that March in-line like the British of the Revolutionary war and were scythed like wheat. Then with their fellows like dead and wounded in a ditch before them with the Confederates continuing to decimate their ranks, those in back went out before to rescue the living; and the battle continued into the thickets of the wilderness campaign beyond the open field of slaughter.
