Internal And External Proletariat Racial Agitation

Racism is a useful political tool in the United States for internal proletariats seeking empowerment for and with external proletariats. While the United States of America are just one part of America rather than all, there are several races in the states and they find social demographic composition and changes or desire to change an uneasy balance occasionally.

The United States of America may add more nations to become states in time. That is a more likely course rather than a collapse of the unification to disunion IMO. NAFTA and other trade agreements worked more toward the direction of unification than separation.

George Washington in his farewell address warned about making permanent foreign alliances quite rightly for those tend to nullify the constitution values that citizens of the states hold as vital. They are based on principles of individual rights with all men and women being equal under God. The United States can only go so far in allowing foreign entities to legally join with the United States without becoming United States for-themselves that accept the constitutional and legal values of the United States of America. Americans outside the United States with separate identities such as Canadians and Mexicans, Brazilians and Venezuelans would have to quit their separate and dubious legal structures and accept those of the United States of America to become U.S. states.

Foreign nations and external proletariats will long seek to manipulate the United States of America along racial lines. Politicians of the states tend to be idiots equally of all races and creeds of course. There are dim prospects for selecting good political leaders able to reform capitalism and economics such that ecological economics prevail. Few even know what that is. Good ideas in political leaders should be the selection criterion rather than electing on the basis of race, color, gender or additional irrelevant for good political leadership paradigmata. In the latter case the ordinary citizens are losers and special interests; even globalist plutocratic or socialist interests, winners, to the detriment of Americans within and without the United States.

Why Change in the Balance of Power Paradigm Isn't Always Good

The balance of power paradigm is a general historical guideline rather than a fixed rule. One can find exceptions to generalities. Generally though, if there is an existing balance of power, in peaceful relations between nations, a change in the balance of power in weapons qualitatively and quantitatively between the nations favors opportunities for new conflict between nations. I can understand why nations that desire aggressive war may first want to change the balance of power.

The United States hasn’t ever had African colonies. It does not repress African nations militarily and I see no reason why any African leader would believe that a military budget increase would be of value for him or her in getting a better trade balance with the United States. Perhaps African nations can use military power to forge better relations with Europe. If Iran points enough nuclear-tipped missiles at Europe it is sure to get their attention. Muslims invaded Europe some time ago (starting in the 7th century) and for a while got more land, and goods too, that provided export to the Caliphate.

Faster on, and Through, Spatial Dimensions

If spatial dimensions are placed in space with their own positions such that they comprise, together geometric relations such as Platonic solids, then particles and waves travelling within, between and on their surfaces may have different values in relation to their positions in regard to the complete compresence of dimensions, and that may change with time and locations factors such as speed, that could for-itself be relativistic.

It is funny that dimension vectors may change relative positions, yet one expects that they should comprise constant values that form a concatenated, constant field.

Historical Elements of Russian Super-Presidency

1)The Super-presidency arose after the constitutional crisis between President Yeltsin and the Supreme Soviet in 1993. Yeltsin dismissed the Soviet who refused to leave. The matter was settled by armed conflict. The sole surviving institutional author; the President, made resolutions that formed the basis of a new constitution and set the parameters for the existence of the new legislative body, the Duma.
This excerpt from the encyclopedia Britannica article on governance and society in Russia accounts for the historical development of the Duma and of the appearance of Boris Yeltsin briefly;
quote-“In 1988 the Soviet Congress of People’s Deputies was created, and a Congress of People’s Deputies was established in each republic. For the first time, elections to these bodies presented voters with a choice of candidates, including non-communists, though the Communist Party continued to dominate the system.
Thereafter, the pace of change accelerated. In June 1990 the Congress of the Russian republic proclaimed that Russian laws took precedence over Soviet laws, and the following year Boris Yeltsin became the republic’s first democratically elected president.” 1-unquote

The President of the Russian Federation shall possess immunity.”
“When the legislature fails to pass the president’s legislative initiatives, he may issue decrees that have the force of law”3
Acting in the role of George Washington, Abe Lincoln, V.I. Lenin and James Madison, President Yeltsin had to create a new state government within an existing advanced society, rather than for a frontier society as the author of the U.S. Constitution, James Madison, was able to accomplish with the almost unanimous support from his peers. Yeltsin had to get support from certain parties with real power such as rural governors and oligarchs and that led to some corruption. Yeltsin began a work of reform in process and trusted in Vladimir Putin to continue the legacy of building a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. And the chief guardian of the state is somewhat more so than others for a while.

 2) President Yeltsin appointed Vladimir Putin to the job of Prime Minister in 1999 and that gave him something of a boost in being elected in 2000. President Yeltsin voluntarily quit the Presidency in 1999 and made Mr. Putin acting President. Vladimir Putin got 53% of the vote for President and he made good, more or less, on the idea that if elected the economy would grow. With the help of high oil prices it did. City Soviets were replaced by city councils and mayors while Yeltsin was President.    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_presidential_election,_2000
President Putin inherited super-presidential powers from the 1993 constitution. He used yet did not abuse those powers in the course of his administrative effort to advance the economy, stabilize in against internal and external challenges and continue the road to privatization and prosperity for society. Article 91 of chapter four is a true super-power.
President Putin created seven federal districts in 2004. They covered much of the same area as the formerly more powerful districts. Medvedev created an eighth district and President Putin a ninth in 2014 for the Crimea and Sevastapool. The federal districts were more favored sons and daughters of the central government regarding funding, power and control. The President can appoint the regional governors.

 3) President Medvedev also inherited the super-presidential powers granted by the Soviet constitution. He used them less so than did President Putin. He appointed President Putin to Prime Minister who tended to get the media attention. President Medvedev created the eighth federal district. He allowed political parties with s minimum of five percent of the national vote instead of seven percent  to be elected to the Duma. Parties also needed to have at least 10,000 members and to be represented in at least half of the federal districts. Just four parties qualified for the 2012 election.
These are a few points about the administration given in a Wikipedia article on his term of office as President; President Medvedev worked on modernization of the economy and is credited for creating the Skolkovo innovation center. He privatized many state-owned companies and removed state officials from state owned company boards and got the Presidential term extended from four to six years; he also fired the mayor of Moscow Yuri Luzhkov,4
A Wikipedia article on President Medvedev’s administration notes the following acts that qualify as super-presidential powers...
quote-“On 10 March 2009, Medvedev signed the presidential decree to reform the civil service system between 2009-2013 as part of his drive against corruption. The main direction of reforms include establishing a new system to manage the civil service, introducing effective technology and modern methods of human resources operations, and increasing the efficiency and professionalism of civil servants.[8]
Medvedev on 8 May 2009, proposed to the legislature and on 2 June signed into law an amendment whereby the chairperson of the Constitutional Court and his deputies would be proposed to the parliament by the president rather than elected by the judges, as was the case before.[9]

 4) Super-Presidential powers are largely set out in chapter four, articles 80 through 90 of the Russian constitution. The President has power to dismiss the Duma, and to nominate the Supreme and Constitutional Court members ,who serve for life. He can issue decrees to over-ride legislation of the Duma, can declare martial law and a state of emergency. He is commander in chief of the military and conducts foreign policy.
My general view of the Russian government challenges since 1998...
Russia since the 1998 financial crisis and default has only slowly yet steadily moved toward reform such that a market economy prevails. It was not so many years ago that Vladimir Putin ended the oligarch domination of the economy and domination of former Soviet assets that they had taken much of. That order of oligarch power was regarded as an unfair distribution of wealth, yet was left somewhat as it was. The economy moves toward liberalization sometimes with substantial state investment and stimulation..

Democrats Seek to Make Ultimate Quagmire With Mid-Term

Democrats seek to create the ultimate bureaucratic quagmire and argumentative deadlock with a spoilt mid-term plan to gain control of the House. They could assure that the nation doesn't get much done, and make lots of headlines for broadcast media pursuing impeachment of the President for using salty language.

https://www.npr.org/2018/08/17/639030198/trump-predicts-red-wave-but-special-elections-show-democrats-poised-for-big-gain

The one thing the Democrats never do is to seek to make America great again, or to increase taxes on the most rich to 90% except maybe if they have a Republican in office that wouldn't sign off on such a measure. What Democrats can do is to weaken national security so far as possible and to encourage the President to increase the size of government. sign off on more homosexual advantages and legalize dope for everyone.

Taxing the rich to restore the ecosphere, fund free college education and expand the V.A. to include free treatment for all poor citizens (and tied into the homeless clinics of the nation) would not be a bad policy. They could assure that patents are limited to 3 years with 10% royalties for inventors thereafter. They also could give tax cuts for higher those out of work the longest; first. Instead the left in the Democrat Party want to splice more socialism on government and expand it while flooding the nation with cheap illegal labor to work at Democrat homes while the Democrats themselves have high-paying government jobs. The Pelosi vineyards need legions of illegal workers to increase the profits of the Roman empire-like estate.

Democrats are clueless on the need to reform capitalism that functions with a 250 year old philosophical-economic meta-structure. They want to shut down government to force concessions to increase its size and flood the nation with anyone that might vote to keep their key leaders in office to prosper from the contacts and favors.

Former Admiral McRaven Raves at President on Security Clearance Issue

A former Admiral that was in the chain of command glory for the Bin Laden raid has teamed up with former C.I.A. Director Brennan against POTUS. Apparently the former Admiral has deep loyalty to his former ad hoc boss on intelligence, so much so that he has asked President Trump to revoke his security clearance too. Maybe President Obama should have chosen the Delta Force rather than the seals to lead the raid; they might have brought the treasure trove of information back alive.

The former C.I.A. Director is a live critic of President Trump while President Trump is being attacked by the sore-losercrats and the left-wing media. President Trump has every reason ethically to keep a public adverse high security clearance critic out when he has demonstrated that he might provide classified data to those seeking to cut the Chief Executive off at the knees.

Admiral McRaven may be a dangerous individual with a zillion military connections, yet luckily he isn’t at all high in the civilian chain of command. Allowing Admirals to get involved with land concerns is not a very good idea.


With so many retired military and spooks as well as civil servants retaining security clearances it is no wonder the U.S. Government security is a leaky bucket. How many of those retired military and government people working for Defense contractors still have security clearances? That situation could create some non-competitive insider bidding.

On the Federal Organs of Power during the Transitional Period
Polozhenie ‘O federal’nykh organakh vlasti na perekhodnyi period’ (Resolution “On the Federal Organs of Power during the Transitional Period”),” in Iz istorii sozdania konstitutsii Rossiiskoi Federatsii, vol. 4/3, 461-466.

My general view of the Russian government challenges since 1998...

Russia since the 1998 financial crisis and default has only slowly yet somewhat steadily moved toward reform such that a market economy prevails. It was not so many years ago that Vladimir Putin ended the oligarch domination of the economy and domination of former Soviet assets that they had taken much of. That order of oligarch power was regarded as an unfair distribution of wealth, yet was left somewhat as it was. The economy moved toward liberalization sometimes with substantial state investment and stimulation.

The process was advanced by the rise in world oil prices in the 2000s that continued until the crash following fracking of old oil fields to renew supply. A surfeit of world oil production made oil dependent states lose much revenue. Alaska in the United States faced a government budget crisis and Russia too lost nearly half of its GDP.

If bad actors are targeted, the principle of mass punishment should not target the innocent too. The U.S. should encourage Russia to continue developing a market economy along sound ecological economic principles rather than provide mass punishment for making Crimea a ninth federal district.

Even so Russia continued a slower advance toward a market economy though the state held some major banks and oil companies. It began an income tax of a modest scale though it had difficulty collecting that. Russia faced many internal and external challenges before the regime of foreign sanctions began to appear for international contention to permanently wrest away the Ukraine and Crimea from Russia.

The second largest party in Russia is still the communist party. The United Russia party- by far the largest, is basically a coalition of four formerly separate parties that joined to beat the communists. The economic and social dynamics of economic reform is occurring concurrent with reform of government, and eventually constitutional structures, and stimulation of business and new infrastructure development. All of that is challenging and expensive. While the United States and Europe tend to place themselves into a belligerent and adversarial as possible position comprising something of a threat to Russian security.

My concern is that the sanctions and hostile external relationship with Russia will retard the growth of Russia as a market economy and in the long run solidify less than free enterprise elements in Russia.

Apparently Russians have a trust in state run media and state ownership of business because of historical reasons that lie in the fact that authoritarian or Tsarist government were the fact of Russia for 1000 years. Only since the end of the Cold War has Russia had a pluralist government, although a multi-party Duma/congress existed briefly, shortly before the Bolshevik takeover to end that and the tsar.

Ronald Reagan had a policy of constructive engagement with South Africa and that led to the DeClerk government and end of apartheid. Reagan also ended the Cold War along with President Gorbachev in part because of hi affable character engendering trust. The United States should think deeply about its reckless and fay sanctions on Russia, since they may harm U.S. interests more so than Russian, in the long run.




Chris Hedges Isn't Correct About Socialist Predictions of National Collapse

Chris Hedges’ writing is that of a disgruntled socialist who is seeing the nation through the rouge colored glasses of Karl Marx. He believes capitalism has sewn the seeds of its own destruction, and he is waiting with baited breath so the new world socialist order can emerge Phoenix-like from the ashes. There isn’t anything original about any of that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Hedges

Fundamentally he misunderstands economics and history as well as eschatology, and is affiliated with the PC USA that is an apostate church approving the sin of homosexuality and homosexual marriage as accepted church doctrine. No serious Christian would do that.

He probably means well, yet he hasn’t a clue about how to reform things. He calls himself a Christian anarchist and might get along with Pearl Jam and even apocalypticists with incorrect pre-millennial eschatology (post-millennialism is true).

Chris Hedges apparently doesn’t know what corporatism is or how it unifies with socialism and communism. He senses something is wrong with the left and he is correct in the feeling yet wrong about the diagnosis. Democrat Party leaders and socialists are just playthings of the 1%. The National Socialist Workers Party of Germany (NAZIs) were an early model of corporatism- a political philosophy invented by the Italian fascist Mussolini).

The world may have an ecospheric apocalypse yet that isn’t the Christian one that actually occurred in the 1st century as Jesus foretold it would. Survivors will go on in space and on Earth in some numbers. It is possible to reform capitalism and just scale back the size and concentration of wealth and power; F.D.R. invented the weapon of mass destruction for monopolistic capitalism and it is called the 90% tax rate. Patent duration should be reduced to three years with 10% royalties for inventors thereafter. There should be free public higher education and a guaranteed minimum income so that all have some capital to work with and are never broke. Businesses should be screened for low impact on the environment and businesses should be limited to 20,000 employees. The ecosphere should be regreened and replanted, fossil fuel vehicles and roads mostly banned and replaced by electric power lines and electric platforms. Everything should be reformed and renewed. The economic and government paradigm is two centuries old minimally. Socialism is a complete waste of time though and just wants to keep things as they are yet completely bureaucratized and redistributed with maximum social entropy.

It’s fine to reform capitalism and even the U.S.constitution to limit the size and power of organizations. Corporations didn’t exist when the constitution was written by James Madison.

If the United States financially collapses one day it probably will be suffered most by the remaining middle class and poor that have invested everything they have in this nation. The concentrated wealth owners of Wall Street will have already diversified their portfolios internationally, so it is in the interests of the people of the United States to begin a measured and steady program of reform to make things better than they are.

Veganism Experienced Inflated Food Prices Too

Apparently there are two major branches of veganism; dietary and ethical. The first is for health and the latter to stop cruelty to animals....
