Raiders Could Move to San Antonio or Berlin

The Oakland Raiders have itchy feet and like to move occasionally. Besides moving to Las Vegas they could just move to San Antonio or Berlin for a year or three. Talk of moving to S.F. is wrong. That would tarnish their reputation for a dozen years.

War With Russia May Be in the Portents (or not)

Reading an article in RT by a natural Irish former scientist turned journalist now living in Africa I learned that the United States may go to war with Russia in the Ukraine. Apparently President Trump, or Trump as he is known to journalists, has cleared the way for war after ditching the Syrian 'distraction' in a childish and petulant mood talking with the Turkish P.M. Sim Salabin Kenyonsky.

All of the Congress opposed the President's withdrawal of troops from Syria. They wanted to leave them in Syria until Armageddon or as long as the rivers could fill with blood. Signs and portents of entrails carefully examined at a journalist clave confirmed the prospect for war. Recent ESA photos of Mars have shown after scientific journalist analysis, cold war in the cauldron that could symbolize eruption..

The United States financed a coup in Ukraine in 2014 and has had clandestine trainers there trying to get the inept neo-fascist soldiery of the Fascist regime in Ukraine to good fighting condition.

If the United States goes to war with Russia over Ukraine it would be wrong not to have a triple spearhead from the North and Middle Europe as well as the Southern Ukrainian underbelly. Marines should land in Siberia and work west in a pincers movement on Moscow with the east driving soldiers in Germany.

Probably nukified cruse missile waves should saturate Russia yet no ballistic missiles should be launched with nukes in order to play fair. Russia has nice shore based anti-ship stuff yet the navy should use its fast attack boat to penetrated Russia rivers for intell purposes.

The war could occur during the Christmas holidays government shutdown before Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer can take podiums to express their hatred of Russia and the pretense that Russia ever owned it before the most recent crass expropriation of peace-loving Ukraine.

With the help of scientist journalists that have spent a lifetime studying history and philosophy chemistry and botany it is easy to learn the facts about how things are now.

Personally I believe in building a wall in Ukraine modeled upon the great wall of China. Yet with a perfectly good Dnepr River for a natural boundary that's where I would draw the Russia-Ukraine border line. Of course the Democrat party may believe the Yenisei riiver is the appropriate location for a Ukrainian boundary on the eastern front.

Warm Air Rises? Arctic Air Heating 2X Faster Than Rest of World

A new study appeared examining Arctic air and thermal temperature changes. The Arctic Report Card found that air temperatures there are rising higher faster than the rest of the world's warmer areas. It could be that warm air rises and moves north to gather near the pole. That idea can't be blamed on the scientists who did the study, it was what occurred to me. That and the fact that the pole is at the center of the world's spin rather than at the outside, so warm air would tend to remain there better.

In my opinion the situation will remain that way just until the Arctic nears a saturation point for melting. Then it will have excess warmth to spill back south to rapidly increase world temperature outside the Arctic.

Withdrawing U.S. Military from Syria May Save Money

The problem with Syria is that it isn’t Kansas anymore. Why should the United States keep military personnel in Syria when it isn’t even an unincorporated U.S. territory like Navassa Island?

The United States has Kurdish allies who can keep an eye on things in the area-and there are drones and other surveillance aircraft. The U.S.A. should strengthen Kurds in the region and help defend them against Turkish terrorist threats to invade Syria and hunt them to death. After the U.S. withdraws Turkey may feel free to invade, slaughter, plunder and spindle loose forces.

Kurds are something like the Jews were before Israel was put together- they would benefit from a homeland or at least confederation of Kurdish autonomous states in a piece of Syria, Iraq and Turkey. All those Sunni Muslims ought to be able to accept that and stop targeting Kurds.

Michael Flynn Seemed to Have Been Acting As National Security Adviser a Bit Early

When the F.B.I. directed by James Comey decided to ambush N.S.A. Michael Flynn in a White House interview just days after the Trump administration took office, former JSOC Intelligence Director Flynn choose to field questions from the F.B.I. He felt he had nothing to hide and was confident in his role as the National Security Adviser. He may have had no awareness of the Logan Act that made his intercessions for the benefit of the nation, rather than for personal reasons of profit, as a private citizen just before officially going on the job, legally wrong.

Comey apparent sent over partisan agents early while the Trump team of non-lawyers was somewhat disoriented because of the newness of the jobs. Flynn wasn't a lawyer and would have been fine if he had not taken the N.S.A. job. Apparently most people don't register as foreign agents if lobbying for foreign countries. Maybe some of them that work on other matters too don't actually know they are supposed to. One must be very careful if a Turkish government official asks a private citizen to write to their Senator to help get Turkish apricots an exemption from Trump tariffs.

As an effective intelligence Director Flynn had good enough reason to dissimulate and conceal proprietary information from the F.B.I. The F.B.I. is hardly read in to the highest classified information the National Security Director may have regarding means and sources. Not even broadcast journalist would reveal their sources in all cases to the F.B.I.; how much more would a C.I.A. Director conceal information or even lie to an F.B.I. rife with Democrat party partisans in order to conserve national security. Flynn was perhaps too new on the job to realize his information was probably covered by executive privilege. Flynn's conversations with Ambassador Kislyak may ave been deemed need-to-know only.

A Clinton appointee to the Federal Bench- Judge Emmett Sullivan has in two consecutive days lambasted Michael Flynn as a suspect of treason and overturned the Attorney General Sessions era order that not all victims of crime are eligible for asylum in the United States. Democrats this week have said they would let the government shut down before funding a National Security wall even in part along the Mexican border. Democrats are not the party for national security.

The Democrat party seemed to e trying very hard to get a legal wedge in on the new Trump administration. Most of the principles are partisan Democrats. Former F.B.I. Deputy Director Andrew McCabe's wife Jill got 675,000 dollars from Bill Clinton's money man Terry McAullife for her political campaign.  gave large donations to the Clinton campaign. Strozk- one of the agents that interviewed Flynn in the White House, wrote to Page that Trump must be stopped through official government offices. Other critical emails, like those of Hillary Clinton, were inexplicably erased. The Flynn-Trump attack has Clintonista written all over it. McAullife may be a presidential candidate in 2020.

Veto McConnellcrat Short Term Spending Bill Unless $2 billion for Wall is Included

If congress wants to close down government for $2 billion when the shut down may cost a substantial portion of that each day, go for it. President Trump should get at least $2 billion for building a wall now and more later. Tens of millions of people want the wall built. McConnell shouldn't grinch them for Christmas.

President Trump Isn't Causing Recession

The President is no progenitor of recession. Economists are well known to have different opinions about mass economic policies and effects. Accurate predictions of future recessions are not made with scientific rigor so well that the methods are verifiable and indisputably accurate. Emotion is part of the equation and it can be difficult to quantify. Sometimes they are political opinions expressed as a way to oppose a Presidential incumbent’s economic policy. and neglect national development.

Without correction the Chinese trade relationship would harm U.S. national interests. Like ancient imperial Rome that became too globalized and reached the Toynbean condition of a Universal phase (so far as it could without owning everything such as Parthia or China, the U.S. hyper-active global traders and investors tend to neglect continuing development of national interests and like ancient Rome the historical tendency is to fall.

Unlike the former great British empire the U.S.A. has a great land mass so it need not over-rely on foreign trade. Facing the EU Britain seems to have a choice between dissolution as a small part of the EU or to remain somewhat self-standing nationally and to seek more national self-reliance with new tech in addition to foreign trade.

Rectification of economics in the present era would seem to require a transformation to and renewal of infrastructure and regulating governance to one of national ecological economic sustainability of material quantitatively as well as the national standard of living. Adam Smith’ approach to capitalism expressed in the Wealth of Nations reflected economics and social needs of the day where over-population and ecological decay were not pressing concerns. As a small nation in land area England needed unregulated foreign trade to allow its vigorous traders to function in business transactions globally across an expanding empire. While individual direction and initiative are important still, the United States and even China have not got the same trade globally in proportion to a small land mass relation as did Smith’s England of the 18th century.

The President could stimulate a recession upon indolent, obstinate and recalcitrant people by causing their reactions to transpire that would slow down the national economy perhaps, yet there is plenty to work with such that business activity need not cease.

Unlike the 70’s recession that was caused in part by the lack of iron and other materials for automobile production in the mid-west as well as expanding global competition and production of fossil fuel automobiles (and numerous other reasons involving foreign and domestic affairs as well as tech and capital changes, and reallocation of resources), the present U.S. economy has impending recession only insofar as mass terrorism and ecospheric disasters to existing infrastructure are increasingly expensive to repair and as after 9–11 lead the fear factor to shrink the economy. The reliance on foreign trade is historically at least, amusing. It seems that China too wants to expropriate African and other natural resources for redistribution to itself for a variety of reasons, and of course the United States has done so too (as well as Europe). China has a huge population that is challenged to improve a standard of living and civil liberties with reliance on domestic resources so far as possible in order to conserve the planetary ecosphere. The United States has the same challenge with a smaller population it seeks to increase through legal and illegal immigration in order to de facto arrive at least at half of the Chinese challenge of sustaining a standard of living that is good for half a billion people. The fewer the people to a certain extent, the easier it is as less material resources are required.


In the modern world to recede might not have the same economic meaning and value as when it was first used. Then there is the fact that overseas expansion concentrates wealth in the United States for the 1%. Ordinary average wages don’t match Wall Street’s rise in value for example. The minimum wage of Americans in 1974 was $2.00 while today it is $7.75. That is just a +300% increase. Since 1970 the Wall Street index has increased far more. In 1970 it was at 832 while today it is more than 23,000.

Yes President Trump could find some way to move the economy toward recession yet I.M.O. the problem if any is in the people without ideas for national development rather than in those seeking national development and ecological economic sustainability.
The national public debt is not President Trump’s, it is that of both parties and an incompetent House and Senate that cannot ever balance the budget or provide services to the people affordably. People generally believe those elected are or become corrupt materialists and corporatists seeming primarily to benefit themselves and Wall Street instead of the people of the United States.
