Attorney General Sessions- an Honorable Man in the Trump Administration

Attorney General Sessions is working his job well considering that he works for the most volatile President since Teddy Roosevelt and is hated by the left for being from the south, conservative and male.

Apparently President Trump would like to fire Jeff Sessions as he might anyone who disagreed with his will. He cannot because he is being investigated by Robert Mueller and he needs to not pick at the scab while the maggot is debridging the flesh. Former Senator Sessions made quite a sacrifice in leaving his Senate job to serve as Donald Trump's A.G. and is serving the President quite well. The Attorney General recused himself from the investigation of the President's theoretical campaign ties to Vladimir Putin's Russian boost team and President Trump doesn't like that a bit. He wanted a summary  judgment by the A.G.-and that was a reasonable desire. One that Attorney General Sessions didn't provide. Hence President Trump's twits expressing remorse for hiring Jeff Sessions.

Nothing could have been worse for President Trump than for A.G. Sessions to have acted like a consigliare for the President instead of a very credible and honorable lawyer working a government job with integrity. With the left scathing the A.G. for being a white southern, conservative male instead of a trans-gender black female lesbian as well as for not being a Democrat, the criticism from his boss with those unreasonable expectations make Jeff Sessions position rather difficult. If he were to leave the President to his fate before the Mueller investigations concludes that would look bad for President Trump. Jeff Sessions gets extra brownie points for staying to serve an unthankful boss who doesn't recognize that the way things are is the best of all possible world scenarios given the actual radical lunacy of the broadcast media and extremist nature of the post-Bill Clinton era Democrat Party.

President Trump Tariffs Foreign Heavy Metal

European Union, Canadian and Mexican steel exports to the U.S.A. will run into President Trump's new tariffs if they reach the border. Information isn't being taxed though and technological innovations in the manufacture of heavy metal is likely to continue.

I don't know much about doping heavy metal. Tungsten steel or wolfram was about as much as I knew about the history besides the Plant Rouge Ford Motor steel manufacture facility of yore.

What about using nanotech in the manufacture process to create lined conic sections for lightness and strength? Maybe the way steel is poured and cast could be changed so it could be stronger and with less density and weight? Perhaps steel could have molds and different materials doped in to create strong-bubbles and fibers.

Italy May Stim Rival National Union in Europe

Italian problems with economics and the European Union may prompt the rise of a rival, new union of European nations that want a new deal and a different sheet of economic music to enact their teleprompter policy script leadership performance. England that recently left the European Union, or is in the process presently may find Italy a partner in creating a new national union with a different set of rules. Could Europe support another and rival EU?

Sure. It would be like the creation of a rival football league in the United States long ago that over time merged into the national football league; the NFL.

With computers able to process data rather quickly these days the bottlenecks in Union formation are in getting everyone to agree to hog-tie themselves to the same rules and to be ruled by aliens that don't give a lizard's a about their interests except insofar as they ditto them like bobbly dolls.

Probably everyone in Europe will benefit from the start of a new political league.

Waiting for the 5000 GHz CPU or Something Like It

Maybe it is wrong to call the suburban legend Monster of Loch Ness a monster. Biases against the unknown are difficult to lose. Computer chip biases are quantifiable however, unlike those against the Loch Ness legend.

When I slept on the streets of Portland trying to finish my last computer programming courses in 1981 the state of the art of computers was still rather primitive. PCs existed with small capacity and the Osbourne computer, though gone, was still a memory. A computer shop in a basement of an office build across the street on SW 6^th had some interesting computers to look at during break. The school IBM 360 and Ohio Scientific machines supported COBOL, FORTRAN and RPG II coursework even with a Hollerith card reader. After graduating I never worked as a programmer and instead continued reading history and philosophy. It was an interesting baseline from which to observe the evolution of of programming and computer tech over 40 years.

In some respects it doesn't seem like so much progress has occurred with CPU capacity. Yes it has and laptops are great though slow and reasonably effective if using something besides Windows that is a playground bully. It seems like there is some impending revolutionary increase in CPU size and speed that must advance it a couple orders of magnitude from the top 5 GHz to something like 5000ghz. How is it that after generations of the Pentium and i3 to i9 chips the top speed is still no more than 5ghz?

The trouble is the bottleneck of physicists that have to invent new ways to pack processing capacity into a small area. Maybe one will need to wait for Bose-Einstein condensate quantum computer chips that run very cold and calculate faster-than-light. If the late Stephen Hawking had devoted himself to improving computer chips instead of thinking about the University, gravity and black holes maybe my notebook computer useful for back-packing around would be as powerful as a super-computer; who knows.

Since I rather enjoy reading about philosophy, history and theology as I wander through life instead of worshiping material items as if they were worthy of devotion and nothing people did morally really mattered, it isn't too great of loss to me that I never spent a lifetime learning meaningless coding for-itself that becomes obsolete as a dead language.

On resurrection day it would be odd to assert the position that I devoted myself to a dead binary computer language filling my mind with 1's and 0's and nothing besides. Even so, those physicists with luck shall overcome the under-50ghz barrier sooner rather than later.

Media Fake News Frenzy About 'Murdered' Journalist

The media reported pervasively the death of a journalist fleeing Russia to Ukraine. The journalist is actually still alive and Russians did not kill the fellow as was insinuated.

Here are examples of the fake news.

An Underground Without Disquotation Theory

I watched a 1995 award winner of the Cannes film festival about Yugoslavia and Serbia over a period of 45 years or so. It is good in some respects yet it is a review of people that are rather immoral. It isn't about warriors so much as civilians experiencing the meaninglessness of war. Its an odd film. 

I don't wish to write critical reviews. There is much excellent work in the movie and it can withstand my evaluation. It is the philosophical aspects of the film and the nature of truth that it presented that are the issue here. While some wars are meaningless even so it is the character of the people and their being immersed in life-drowned in a way, that are responsible for their own fate (in the film).

I wasn't impressed with part 1 of Underground. The heroes or protagonists besides the Nazis are thieves; criminals. Not to say that the Nazis weren't criminals too. The partisans are communists and criminals that have advanced their careers during war with the prosperity of the fruits of crime. They are immoral exploiters of everything they can, and act to exploit everything. Those that can't act and be successful criminal careerists tend to be inferiors. Marko at the end of part 1 is the best criminal and rises to the top of his circle becoming a communist leader while keeping his best friend and family in a basement for twenty years exploiting them in order to have his best friend's girlfriend for his wife (Natalia). Marko even feeds them dog-food because of his avarice. Marko's speech explains that he believes there is no truth. The truth is implicit in being and acting, even if the acts are evil.
I will write later of my opinion about truth theory. It differs from that of Marko.

Marko says to Natalia; “No text, my dear, has any truth in it. Truth exists in reality. The truth exists only in real life. You are the truth, you. You are supposed to be the truth. There is no truth, only your conviction. That what you act is the truth.

No, art is a lie, a big lie! We are all liars, at least a little bit.”

Natalia is sexually aroused. She says of herself and her Nazi experiences 'those people raped me and beat me. Your wife is a whore, anyone can f her. Then she say; “Does it really matter if those people in the basement remain alive?”

Through the end of part one virtually no one worked at anything besides crime with dependents on criminals being a large secondary group. Silly musicians play through most of the film and are of course thoughtless. One is killed accidentally by a machine gun aboard a boat.

Marko, Blackie and Natalia sing...

Is it moonlight at noon

is it sunshine at midnight

from the skies above light is beaming

nobody knows, nobody knows

nobody knows, nobody knows

what is really shining

They are happy idiots of the sort that Elton John sang of in Mona Lisa and Mad Hatters with his lyrics;

“Sons of bankers, sons of lawyers

turn around and say good morning to the night

unless they see the sky

but they can't and that is why

they know not if its dark outside or light”

Elton John may have regarded himself as a Mad Hatter and women as Mona Lisa(s). In that regard he was simply criticizing establishment youth, in a way, to bring company into his lifestyle of social relativism without productive work such as farming or medicine. Blackie before being recruited by Marko was at least an electrician. He reminds one a little of Lech Walesa in his appearance in part 2.

Part two begins with the viewer incredulous that those moved from above ground to become Plato's prisoners of the cave in a manner of speaking, living decades below ground in a basement in the false belief that Marko has convinced them of that the second world war is continuing above, while he lives mostly above-ground, that they are such complete dopes being so easily fooled. Marko was the intellectual poet however while Blackie was just an electrician- a pole man; tough as nails yet a gullible idiot representing ordinary communist symp criminals being fooled by intellectuals that are communist leaders.

When the characters escape from the cave, rather unintentionally, liberated by a chimpanzee, firing a home-built tank underground, they continue in their own ways until the Serbian war era. Marko and Natalia are war merchant-profiteers captured and killed by Blackie's militia forces, Ivan-the brother of Marko hangs himself, and Marko drowns himself perhaps for remorse after the death of Marko and Natalia. He sees his drowned son in a well and dives in to join him.

There is a kind of afterlife-repeat of all the dead characters in their own criminal party circle of acquaintances. Fundamentally the story views life as atheist phenomenality and people as meaningless as cattle. The film itself is a propaganda piece of a writer and producer perhaps overwhelmed by the Serbian war.

The disquotation theory of truth basically says that saying that something is true is redundant, yet it saves restating all of the statements about a state of affairs that would be necessary to explain that something is true.

For example; Sally, Jane, Princess, Harry, Jewel and Spike all hate Dickie. All of the preceding people except for Dickie are math students at the Hill School. If someone were to ask if the math students hate Dickie, the easiest answer would be yes it is true. The alternative would be to say that Sally hates Dickie and Jane hates Dickie and Harry hates Dickie and Jewel hates Dickie and Spike hates Dickie. The disquotation theory comprises a disquotation of the full, formal expression required to explain a state of affairs.

Another example is that of a computer programmer with a list of all of the phone numbers in a city. If someone asks if it is true that all of the numbers have area codes for London the programmer may answer yes it is true or alternatively read out all of the numbers to prove the point is in agreement.

Truth theory that is disquotation theory simply means that the reference point questioned about being true or false is in agreement with the conditions that would make it true rather than false. Truth is still about words rather than things in themselves. A description of what things-in-themselves are is also a matter of words. People tend to forget or overlook the fact that all words about anything remain a matter of words and word structures rather than things-in-themselves. People are free to correspond words to objects after deciding what objects are, yet the objects or reality remains imbued with Kant's noumenal reality. That is the field objects in the Higgs field are elements of a Universal for-itself existing independently of human labels.

The Apostle John wrote that “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” Only God transcends the gulf or ditch between words and objects implicitly. Truth or the coincidence of Word and Objects correspond perfectly solely for God for there is no difference for God, while for humans, they are always on the outside of the perceived objects and Higgs field that they comment about, and about its operations and configurations. The Oxford Dictionary of Philosophy say that; “The simplest formulation {of disquotation theory} is the claim that expressions of the form ‘S is true’ mean the same as expressions of the form S. “

There isn't a Platonic aspect to truth, unless one refers to God and John's statements about the Word. Truth doesn't exist independently outside human language except for God. That doesn't mean that Platonic forms don't exist; I believe that the forms of force comprising particles are a reasonable facsimile of Plato's ideas applied within a modern and upgraded context.

USA Doesn't Need A Large Military Base in Poland

 Poland has apparently nothing better to do than throw money away on the solicitation of a new U.S. military base. Two billion dollars is a nice chunk of change to entice the U.S.A. to build a fortress in Poland right on the border with sharp sticks in the ground pointing at where the Hun will attack. With 21 U.S. Army bases in Germany already, and the Rammstein concern, why bother?

Air power probably would solve the next war (and who can wait for that!). If not drone aircraft perhaps drone water-to land breathing vehicles with A.I. to attack from under the sea at points unknown before the amphibs arrive. Poland should spend two billion dollars on good weapons for the people's militia home defense forces and Bibles.

When the Huns attack from Russia in their bizerker mode hyped up on hip-hop dope in the tanks with the shark-teeth paint jobs the U.S. and the NATO partners will catch them in a pincers movement attacking from the East and South until the Brits arrive via air drop to surprise the opposition forces.

What would Martin Van Creveld have to say about it?

Musk's News Rating Site Pravduh com Has No Content Yet

  Billionaire entrepreneur/Ceo Elon Musk indicated he would create a web site to rate journalists on truth content and in effect chastise them with low ratings for resembling a propaganda service equivalent of organized crime with misleading disinformation . He bought the url pravduh.com for the service. I checked the site and it is blank. He is welcome to rerun my blog posts at his site until he has content worth publishing. (with an rss feed).

 http://pravduh.com/

https://www.lifewire.com/what-is-rss-2483592

 I suggest that Musk may want to use a quantitative approach until he can rate individual journalists.

For instance he can give a broadcast network anywhere from -4 to +4 stars. CNN for example, could be a -2.3 and Fox News a +2.3.

It might be useful for the journalist rating service also to evaluate federal politicians qualifications if a candidate and job performance if an office holder. Corporations also might be rated for ecospheric economic value.

Putin's Leadership Isn't the Worst Case for Russia

 Crimea became Russian in 1783; for years before the U.S. Constitution was signed into law. It remained part of Russia even after the Soviet Union took over and made it a semi-autonomous oblast yet still within national law. The Crimea has been a part of national Russia for as long as the existence of the U.S.A. and in fact even before. In the middle ages before the Mongol and Muslim invasions the Crimea was part of Russia.

 Europe has looked toward invading Russia for more than a thousand years. It is true that Europeans such as the Germans, French and Polish were not the only invaders for those came from the east and south as well. Even the United States sent 2000 soldiers to fight in Russia during the Russian civil war of 1917. Alternatively besides the perennial Polish-Russian fighting over land (Poland has extended its power all the way to Moscow in the past), the defeat of Sweden’s King Carl Gustav and the Finland issue, Russia has never really been an aggressor against Europe.  Russian President Vladimir Putin has continued the tradition of Russian being a non-aggressor against Europe.

 Some point to the history of Red Army forces rolling up the German Army and other military forces occupying Eastern Europe during the Second World War as an example of Russian aggression, and that’s just wrong. Russia lost more than 20 million dead because of the German war against it and Stalin’s bad leadership. Russia fought for its survival and won and 50 years after liberating Eastern Europe gave those lands it had liberated independence. Unfortunately the west levered some of Russia too for itself as a kind of bonus. Of course I mean the Crimea and Ukraine.

Former world champion chess grand master Garry Kasparov recently twitted about French President Macron to the effect that he was like Petain cooperating with Hitler.  In my opinion if Mr. Kasparov’s rating at historical analysis were given a chess rating equivalence he would be at best a 1500 player.

President Putin has been a comparative island of stability during his lengthy period of public service transitioning Russia out of potential anarchy, chaos or even fascist leadership or a return to communism and into a reasonably solid state. Russia can stand a lot of improvement. Make no mistake though, Russia could easily have got a lot worse leadership, and after President Putin completes what is likely his final term, possibly worse leadership.

American government cannot usually run balanced budget, eliminate poverty or public debt, and get copyright registration forms to accept credit cards with an expiration date beyond 2025 or secure the real property rights and interests of ordinary American citizens. Its leaders tend to enjoy the high life of diplomacy and glory while scotching important issues of security and environmentalism. Blaming people and pouting are traditional U.S. government foreign policy methods rather than getting things done.

Believe me- Vlad Putin isn’t the worst case scenario. I hope he can pick a successor as good as Boris Yeltsin did.

Pluto Was Major Ice Collector in Early Solar System

Scientists have long known that Pluto had a lot of ice. Now they are calling it a large ice comet. Pluto was probably a large collector of water-ice of the early Universe and holds within its core many secrets of that ancient era. It is quite possible that frozen alien beer remains frozen within (joking that).

https://www.space.com/40687-pluto-formation-1-billion-comets.html

In the early formation of the Universe a lot of water molecules were about. God separated the waters above from those below. Gravity sweeping things around the solar system let myriad snowballs roll up into large things too; such as planet sized objects. If Nibiru exists- planet X, it may be a very large snowball so great in size that if it were to approach the sun, the sun light would be extinguished (joking again).

Genesis 1-6" And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day."

That process was probably replicated across the Universe.

A giant snowball planet X could be the key to interstellar secrets and possibly frozen artifacts of star formation. It would be fun to look inside and possibly mine it for pure drinking water.
