The Murkowski Machination

Alaska Republican Senator (nominally) has declared she will vote to allow illegal aliens to surge upward along the west coast to Alaska in taking a stand against an emergency to reinforce national security with a better fence on the Mexican border. Kentucky Senator Rand Paul exercised a penny-wise pound foolish option to oppose the security fence, yet what Senator Lisa Murkowski's real thinking about working to scuttle national sovereignty is, is difficult to discern.

In my opinion their may be a Murkowski replicant machination to replace aboriginal Americans of Alaska- their are more than 300,000, with vaguely resembling Mexicans. All or in part Mexicanization of aboriginal Americans would be a slowly evolving method of reducing aboriginal land power in the state with all of the vast natural resources so valuable to global extraction redistributors.

There is another cause for the Murkowski Mexican allegiance; Democrats would disapprove of signing up to support the President. AOC and Speaker Pelosi recently warned they were making a list and checking it twice, and going to remember who's naughty or nice. Senator Murkowski knows which side her bread is buttered on.

China Policy, Technology Transfer and Joint Ventures

Forced technology transfer through a Chinese policy requirement that foreign companies that want to establish themselves in select restricted sectors have a Chinese partner in a joint venture diffuses technology to China’s benefit. Those corporations cannot keep proprietary technology secrets from their partners.

Is China’s International Joint Venture Policy Effective in Diffusing Technology? -

Until recently Chinese policy required that the Chinese partner owned 51% of the business. Investing in that climate would actually be selling the corporation or business to China who could do whatever they like with it.

Karl Marx did write that capitalists would sell communists the rope they will be hanged by. Foreign investors realizing profits from Chinese mass market sales dump their technological knowledge to Chinese partners.

It is interesting to consider the Chinese historical background in the deeper sense of thousands of years of virtual public slavery to royals vs the American background of freedom to start with (except for African slaves). The Chinese public sector in control has great distrust of the concentrated wealth of the private sector from which they emerged only through great struggle and the chaotic technological advances of state of the art early 20th century military weapons and struggle.

Because the United States has failed to capitalize on better post-Cold War relations with Russia, a more complex economic neo-isolationism and populist weapons development is developing. Perhaps American leadership is in a race with Russia of a kind for business with the Chinese production medium.

The United States grew without royal establishment once it was overthrown so a new nation could begin. Slave importation was quickly outlawed and 43 years later the government was able to eliminate the historical vestigial slave owners from owning people. Today though the concentration of wealth in the United States is about the same as the notorious condition of Mexico though at a higher average level of prosperity. From an initial good fortune of having no upper class of established wealth to repress ordinary pepole in the beginning of the nation besides the British aristocrats, because the people were from so many nations among other reasons, to the present is quite a social devolution.

In theory a nation that starts without an oppressive upper class given enough time will evolve one. They will be self-reinforcing and justifying and forget all about the benefits of egalitarianism within a democratic system and create de facto aristocracy and social stratification statistically.

Probably there are really just three forms of government.

1. Royal
2. Democratic
3. Chaos

A combination of the three to various degrees usually prevails in the real world. The world can use the maximum amount of invention today to overcome empirical challenges of population and ecospheric decay, so limiting patent exclusivity to three years with 10% royalties from users to the inventor after after exclusivity expires would help field good product ideas. President Trump should press the Chinese to agree to a reformed patent system, and if not the Chinese should lead to establish that paradigm of just three years of exclusivity.

The Chinese idea of public safety differs from that of most Americans. There is an interesting ten-minute video on the subject one may make inferences from.

New Kamakaze Drones Offer Hope of War for Leaders with Limited Budgets

New Kamakaze drones made by the tried and true manufacturer of the AK-47 combat assault rifle are ready to hit the market and provide affordable told-you-so attacks on neighbor nations that don't mind their p and q's. Thank goodness. Three-pound, high-speed military explosive packages delivered with precision at low cost-per-pound. With luck they'll be ready for holiday pay-back.

Travelling Faster-Than-Light Around the Earth, Or Straightaway?

Usually people speculate about special relativity with people travelling in a straight line. There are fairly simple calculations about that, such as explain time dilation, and mass increasing to infinity as one nears light speed.

Consider for a minute the apparent centrifugal force quantity of solid state mass travelling at the speed of light around the Earth. It’s awesome, and probably would require an external force acting upon the object to keep it in orbit around the Earth as it accelerates to light speed. It might even require an infinite force to contain the infinite mass pushing against it.

Light particles (photons) have no mass (or very low) and can travel as fast as 186,000 miles per second therefor, since with no mass they have nothing to increase. So far as I know photons can’t be added together in some sort of photon-molecule, and they travel within the electro-magnetic field as emergent phenomena.

Mass is different then photons that travel so fast. One might wonder if photons can have differential velocities travelling through curves of space-time fields. If there is a strong electro-magnetic field around the Earth that would allow photons to travel in a circle, there is also a gravitational ‘circle’ associated with the mass of the Earth-planet.

In examples given to illustrate special relativity, people catch an off-planet space-elevator or electro-magnetic mass driver from West Texas beyond the Earth moon system. A special Streetcar Named Desire accelerates nearly to light-speed after the people inside the streetcar are changed into Bose-Einstein condensate held frozen photons. Photons have been slowed experimentally to zero in very cold Bose-Einstein stuff.

The idea would be to convert straphangers into stationary photons, then encase information of the passengers in photon-quantum computer configuration and embed the photon q-bits in the light accelerating Streetcar Named Desire particle beam so the information can travel at the speed of light.

The cold quantum data would be allowed to travel for a few years toward a nearby black hole (the one at the center of the galaxy is 26,000 light years away so information about nearer ones would be necessary) and would be curved back toward Earth in a carefully calculated pass near the event horizon of the black hole. Sure that would be a whipsaw of a turnaround, yet photons may be tough.

When the Streetcar Named Desire slows to a stop in Earth orbit (it received instructions from a particle beam from the moon in its direction ), the people of Earth would be much older, as time slows near the speed of light and also if one is converted into photons within a Bose-Einstein condensate), and the passengers return to an Earth that has aged a lot in comparison to their awareness of time passage, they would be in the future of the Earth; an Earth with most people extirpated in the democide of global atmospheric fossil fuel-greenhouse gassing heating.

On the Topic of Choosing Your Own Determinsim

My thoughts on the topic of choosing one's own determinism, outside yet not exclusive of,  a Christian criterion are... 

A theoria of determinism may be constructed with several criteria from which to choose for whatever purpose is apropos for the goal in making the selection. The OP might be illuminated with the analogy of a quantum field of all possible world-lines wherewith an intelligent particle-wave (e.g. a sentient monad or one-dimensional point) could choose its own waveform collapse location, in the Universe, with quantum decoherence ossifying it down into being and becoming a  solid state amongst-others.

I guess another paradigm would be that of a philosopher getting off of a boat in Le Havre France who has a choice before debarking, a priori, of what and where he chooses to go. His will is pre-determined, perhaps to walk to the library and see the books that Sartre's self-educated man might have gone over to choose what to read first and last.

The philosopher might wonder about the determinism of the Universe or Universes with metaphysical, speculative thought. He might inquiry with mind-dialectics and induction levering synthetic progress with a posteriori cosmological data about his own phenomenal incarnation as being in-the-Universe if he could have free will or even sentience if all of the Universe is physically pre-determined. He might wonder if he could not have sentience as a 20th order branch location of a large tree of life, perhaps as a sentient leaf growing contempletively old.

House Demos Should Do Something Useful; Pass Carbon Tax on Cars

One gallon of gasoline burned in a car creates twenty pounds of carbon dioxide. House Democrats should try something useful and practical for a change and simply pass a reasonable carbon tax on cars that burn gasoline or diesel. In my opinion Tesla deserves some sort of advantage for its clean cars and even GM should get some small break for developing tailgates that run L.E.D. advertisements (isn't that what the new GM tailgate does?).

Tesla is a great new American car company that should get some advantage for being a catalyst for positive change. It is a catalytic converter that brings people away from death-to-the-Earth fossil fuels to pure electronic logic areas.

https://www.climate.gov/maps-data

While President Trump is solid at working for a good economy, he seems a bit off on appointing a coal lobbiest to head the E.P.A. Probably he has cancelled federal tax breaks for Tesla's too in order to help China's electronic auto industry.

https://insideclimatenews.org/news/28022019/climate-change-ocean-fish-seafood-decline-data-warming-paris-agreement-study

In theory the President cars about the United States and restoring a clean environment. He is not another first generation native born carpet-bagger plundering anything he can to have better golden and emerald bejeweled toilet seats.

Much of the public like his willingness to avoid immoral Democrat policies such as infanticide and late term abortion. It is too bad he wasn't elected instead of Clinton and Obama to halt homosexual marriage enabled by a corrupt Supreme Court with Democrat appointees. It is not possible for a President to keep all of the people happy all of the time, Yet the President should not go out of his way to offend scientific reason to prove he hasn't much scientific ecospheric intelligence. It isn't too difficult.

North Korean Nuclear Development Will Continue During Dynastic DIctators Kim Era

Dictator Un may feel a need for nuclear weapons to safeguard his own political position. China has tons of nuclear weapons, the need for North Korea to have its own nuclear force for war is illogical and a poor substitute for peaceful free enterprise and neo-socialist economic progress with South Korea.

The work of making nuclear weapons is an intellectual as well as a material game. The 1992 Joint Declaration on the Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula that the Clinton administration got through was something of a sham. Realistically it allowed North Korea to continue to develop its nuclear program through alternative means while IAEA inspectors toured NK facilities, except for those declared military facilities and off-limits. A couple of nuclear reactors for energy and heavy fuel oil were allowed in during the slow-down in direct plutonium production in exchange for enduring Sect. Albright dancing before the old dictator.

There is a fair history of the NK nuclear diplomacy game here… North Korea Nuclear Technology & Nuclear Weapons Program

Apparently NK developed thermonuclear bombs and may have exploded one in 2017. There are of course nuclear fission and fusion bombs with the latter more powerful. Scientists do a lot of theoretical work without hardware. Dictator Kim has lots of espionage and negotiating people able to get Do-It-Yourself books on building and improving nuclear weapons.

NK may be working on miniaturizing a nuclear weapon so it could be delivered secretly in some way to Washington DC. Maybe they are making progress on that. Some Democrats might think that o.k., as might a sprinkling of fiscal conservatives who view the 93 trillion dollar Green Deal as a trillion too far.

Pelosi says she's "glad" Trump walked away from North Korea summit with no deal

Fundamentally Dictator Kim can continue to develop nuclear war technology under the table with more help from Iran, Pakistan, Russia and China, and with appeasement Democrat Party symps. The question of his ending the economic division with the south isn’t too difficult to answer; he really can’t for he is a Dictator that many of his own people would like to terminate if they could, I would think. The Kim Dynasty probably will continue along with nuclear war tech until NK is saturated with nuclear weapons and with no good chance to safely use them.

The American Drift Toward Pseudo-Socialism

Public education has been unionized and leftist for decades. That has indoctrinated youth with left-leaning values. Hollywood is full of leftists and Democrats because they support leftist moral decay along with defense of individual civil liberties (generally a good thing).

Democrats have supported the rise of corporatism. That networking creates extreme concentration of wealth. The United States is becoming more like Mexico in wealth distribution. Democrat leadership has appealed to populist debauchery, homosexuality, lesbianism and so forth as continuities of affirmative action. Democrat leadership has lost any ability to understand what democracy is and how it works with free enterprise and capitalism. They gloss over the loss of democracy because they aren’t capable of understanding or reforming free enterprise and democracy and their leadership became shop-steward union advocates for higher minimum wages, more abortions (including infanticide), free education, Medicare for all and so forth. Youth go along with all that.

A recent poll found that about 50% of people under age 34 support socialism. Fundamentally they aren’t political philosophers as so many of the founders were, and are content with using tired, old socialist political philosophy as their tool for merger with corporations as pseudo-socialists.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydPqKhgh9Mg

In my opinion the majority are idiots that should read more political philosophy and reform free enterprise and democracy to invent new adaptations suitable for the era that would bring capitalism down to a level that it doesn’t own politics and the media, yet allow free enterprise to employ most people and serve restoration of environmental health and profit together. Several simple items such as reducing patent exclusivity to three years and giving patent holders 10% royalties from user sales thereafter, limiting the number of employees of any corporation to 20,000 people, progressive taxation with those earning more than two million annually at 80%, letting individuals own stock in no more than three corporations, creating legal hoops for eco-sustainability for business to comply with on an even field including anything imported to the U.S.A. etc.

https://www.amazon.com/Unconscious-Civilization-John-Ralston-Saul/dp/0684871084

Fundamentally one may call the mish-mash of concentrated wealth, corporatism, socialism and so forth whatever one likes, yet it doesn’t work well. Individual freedom is repressed, inventiveness stalls etc. Politicians that have no creative capacity or learning advocate off-the-shelf political theories that were meaningful a century or two or three ago. Simply passing good legislation is all that is needed to set economics and ecosphere straight, yet that idea escapes them.

The founders’ day had a lot of creative political philosophers and no corporations in existence. Neither was there much in the way of unions and broadcast media to demand socialism and conformity.

 Joint stock companies are not corporations. The Hudson’s Bay and East India companies were most like modern corporations that existed during the 18th century. Nonetheless the United States was without corporations from the beginning. The Boston Manufacturing Co. in 1813 is credited as being the first industrial corporation of the United States- quite bit after 1776.

While socialists may believe they are against business and corporations, pure socialism such as that of the Soviet Union is not a direction most modern socialists admit to, instead they point to mixed economies such as that of Sweden and consider that socialist.
The actual direction that socialists have moved the past half century in the United States is toward corporatism. Obamacare was a good example of corporatism. I will suggest a good primer on the political philosophy of corporatism written in 1999- somewhat more recent that the Communist Manifesto from which socialists have found inspiration. Nonfiction Book Review: The Unconscious Civilization by John Ralston Saul, Author Free Press $23 (208p) ISBN 978-0-684-83257-9

Corporatism was invented by the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. It found application in Hitler’s 3rd Reich. Corporate leaders worked for the government. Hitler was put into power with help from the Storm Troopers led by Ernst Röhm. The Sturmabteilung The German Military and the Holocaust were composed of as much as 70% former socialists who believed Hitler would lead them to power and depose the former aristocracy. They were as naive as modern socialists.

Green New Deal Presents Critical Opportunity Costs

AOC's Green New Deal presents significant opportunity costs for developing responses to ecological challenges that might actually work. With such a vast government spending program that might well dry up like California's high speed rail before anything working is constructed, there may be little funding for effective programs that might work.

It was fairly unrealistic to pack a green reform program with democrat pork. If everyone is thrown out of work with few corporations or rich people to pay for the program they would require food and medical treatment from the government. When they slaughter the last 'farting cows' for government food programs Americans may need to look elsewhere for jobs. It might be worthwhile inventing the low cost equivalent of catalytic converters for cattle exhaust emissions. Concepts include a new digestive enzyme, gas tubes to vents and filters, alternative excretia-gas branch processing route (I saw a cow with a window in its side once at an agricultural college. A lot of work for veterinarians would arise unless calf insert mass production technology was invented), etc.

Science has indicated that if the world atmospheric carbon dioxide content reaches 1300 ppm from the present 400 plus parts per million the world temperature may rise eight degrees f. The world would lose its cloud cover and planetary temperature would rise substantially more. In the interim the oceans are growing more acidic and warmer. Life could die off in the oceans because of the decrease of oxygen in it. These are concerns that need be addressed before they become critical. Ineffective and too costly bad economic concepts won't get it done.

There are serious scientists and economists in the field of ecological economics, as well as philosophers and others that might form a a research group to define criteria that could be most effective if made into law that are also the most efficient and economical. Fossil fuel automobiles are the major CO2 point source of pollution in the U.S.A., yet other nations such as China and India have pollution issues too. They also have economic relationships with the United States that could be adversely affected with unilateral, radical economic restructuring through ineffective and ineffective, costly processes.

There seems to be a certain level of political insanity in suggesting spending of trillions of dollars that did not formerly exist unless attacked during war, and even then the degree of spending was far less that contemporary politicians are accustomed to playing about with. Good government regulation doesn't require vast public expenditures. Government regulations that work let the private sector work and invent new technologies that go through regulatory ecospheric hoops that are beneficial rather than harmful to planetary ecospheric health.

Did You Here the One About Democrats That...

Did you here the none about fiscally conservative Democrats that say no to spending $5 billion for border security and yes to $93 trillion for the Green New Deal?
