T-F and a Moscow Tower That Will Never Be

One would need to ask President Trump if he instructed Michael Cohen to dissimulate anything, unless it is a matter of public record. Mr. Cohen’s versions might be encumbered with the liar’s paradox Liar paradox - Wikipedia and the credibility may be damaged. Sorting out the T or F of things would be time consuming. Search (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy).
The Trump organization has holdings in many nations. Russia is a logical destination for investors. I don’t prefer Cold War to peaceful free markets, so I tend to regard the Democrat Party hatred of Russia as a very poor method of actualizing political affairs. What is wrong with building a hotel in Moscow?
On the Ukrainian-Russian issues, U.S. political leadership is as tone deaf as possible, and as politically clumsy as the worst sort of five-thumbed oaf trying diamond cutting.

Comparing President Trump and Rep Alexandria Cortez

Rep. Cortez does seem to be a publicity hound. Her Green New Deal seems to be an inefficient crock of bull to me. Its not that all the whereas’ in the bill are wrong or half-truths or irrelevant, it is just that it seems like a sophomoric effort by someone without much depth in history, environmental economics, politics and etc who would like to have a King Canute, my way or the highway sort of power to gamble the nation’s future on her particular manifesto sort of approach to politics. As an intern for the brain-cancer challenged Senator Edward Kennedy Rep Cortez may not have learned how to value or apply tools of free enterprise with directed evolution toward ecospheric restoration with government regulation. To gamble 93 trillion dollars that her particular approach would fix the damages done by human culture to the ecosphere as a result of the inertial course of human historical development the past 9000 years would be wrong. There just isn’t wisdom enough in the Green New Deal to make things work. Rep. Cortez should have published a couple of books on macro-economics and specifically ecological economics theory and application before publishing a bill. The details matter. Politicians should feel free to use the Von Pelosi Method of ‘pass the bill so we can find out what’s in it’.

President Trump has a lifetime of business experience and continues that in the White House. He is solid on what he does well and isn’t experimenting much. Personally I don’t care much for the concentration of wealth in the United States that has a GINI coefficient location equal to that of Mexico, neither do I appreciate the President’s environmental approach, yet he has some strong points too of not starting wars across North Africa, not accelerating increase of public debt, and trying to secure the Mexican border so the nation can have a chance to keep a coherent civil polity without ingress of illegal aliens that the Democrat House recently voted to allow to vote- as if being an American citizen means nothing.

Rep Cortez has a racist viewpoint in her ideas about the distribution of wealth (see the Green New Deal). Wealth apportionment should be viewed statistically without reference to race. A poor white guy and a poor black or Hispanic generally experience the same purchasing power or lack of in the free market. Wealth inequalities are conflated with environmental decay in the same bill- and in fact the entire non-sustainable economic structure requires deep ecological economic restructuring and capitalism requires reform. Neither issue is addressed in any sort of deep way in the Cortez bill and it would hence place a great opportunity cost and misdirection blocking any actually effective course by taking up all the possible funding a priori. It is very wrong in approach.

It would have been helpful if President Obama had not twisted the arm of Democrats to cut taxes on the rich permanently. All Democrats except Sanders voted for making the Bush II tax cuts permanent. No one can really take the party seriously thereafter. They are a bunch of ignorant, air-bag lunatics.

Venezuelan Drake and Drone War




War with Venezuela is improbable. They haven't attacked us although Venezuela could be using illegal alien communist infiltrators to plunder vulnerable tiny houses in rural regions near the Mexican border, or not.

RT news published an article that said that "we", and I believe that referred to Americans, are being lied to! It is possible that Michael Cohen has an opinion about the improbable possible Venezuelan War- I am not certain, but it could be that the normally truthful Congress was being lied to, if Reps Waters, Taliban, Cortez etc were fooled. I am not certain that's the case. No trickery will stand to send marines into dysphoria.

War with Venezuela would be trampy. Venezuelans live there and they aren't all communists. Some support the Yankee-of-the-South movement for unrestricted internet access with VPNs actually partly socialized by government matching contributions.


Acting Interim President Juan Guido would be America's President Diem presumably, while President Maduro would be the Hoi Chi Minh figure in the pocket guerrilla war conveniently located for the southern command to mull over.

Because President Maduro cheated on the election and won't leave office peacefully, some of the military have covertly developed sympathies for what to Maduro is the dark side of the force. It is not certain that U.S. or deniable third country drones with heckfire missiles could distinguish between dark side and red side of the force Venezuelan military staff officers who presumably would be the initial targets in a deniable kinetic action to remove military support for the Maduro Manifesto.

Venezuela is most famous to many Americans for being attacked by Sir Francis Drake and his executive officer Martin Frobisher. It is also known as a country with a high incidence of people with Huntington’s disease. If Mr. Maduro returns to private life and quits the communist oil movement, the Yankee-of-the-South movement may take hold and make Venezuela a good place for retiring Americans to build vacation huts, yet therein is the core of the problem.

After the military advisers have gone and the buzz of drones fades away, will solar power and round architecture bring a new environmental ethic to Venezuela, or will the same old square, stick-frame structures that displace the ecosphere remain?

Americans Don't Really Brag About Defeating the Brits Anymore

Americans don't brag about defeating Britain in the revolutionary war much anymore; it was a long time ago. The victory was a matter of fact. Citizens were relieved to be rid of the royal parasites.
The British spent so much money trying to win the war that the public debt for the war wasn’t fully paid off until shortly before World War 1. The cost of the war and public indebtedness to the rich of Britain that held the debt was a salient reason why social benefits were fairly rotten for 19th century Brits.
An ironic joke is that Americans are achieving what the founder’s victory provided to England. The national GINI index of wealth concentration places the U.S.A. right there with Mexico and public debt is 21 trillion dollars.

Evolve a Military-Environmental Complex to Replace Military-Industrial

There are a number of ways to evolve a military-environmental complex to replace the military-industrial complex that President Eisenhower warned about in his farewell address to the nation. For one thing, the government can use the carrot to favor contracts with corporations that produce environmentally progressive items as well as weapons of war. The next non-Trump President should intentionally design an evolution toward a military that reinforces ecospheric health instead of just Wall Street big and dirty industries.

Army should know about land, navy the sea and the Air Force, the atmosphere. Each military element should ave a scientific division that learns all one can about the real element. If a President is weak on science and environmentally challenged appointing adverse leadership to head the E.P.A. to stifle it, the military might be able to help take up the slack. It should know what harm is being done to the environment counseled by experts, and structure methods to defend against its predators. While prosecutors and law enforcement agencies can arrest criminals if not able to correct them, the military is an appropriate scale of response to arrest ecospheric decay.

Countless millions of souls vote for politicians that reinforce their employers and large corporations. To change the criterion of reinforcing ecospheric sloppy, indifferent and predatory corporations who keep the military enthralled to their profit interests one must evolve the relationship of employers-corporations doing business with the government to those that are green. Global military that substitute for gutted and too small of scale environmental protection agencies could become protectors of the environment too. The military is intended in the U.S.A. to be of and for the people; not multinational corporations.

There must be numerous ways to drive the tiger of capitalism toward ecospheric conservation activities willingly and in cooperation with a military that values the ecosphere as much as General Thomas did for the union army in surveying battlefields before decimating the ignorant enemy. General Lee did not even know the fine topographic details of Virginia.

Because the billionaire club owns the broadcast media that is so pervasively crooked and racketeering and fundamentally against a healthy environment sustainable for humanity for generations ahead (at least 20), the government needs to work to accentuate the positive of ecospheric rehab and wildlife conservation directly after President Trump leaves offices. Most likely Democrats are good at campaign symbolism and little else besides debauchery legislation, so some independent candidate would probably be the only place to look.

Wouldn't the Moon be a Good Place to Build Supercomputers

The Earth's moon should be a good place to build very large supercomputers with superconducting easy at low temperature. Very large particle accelerators and infrared telescopes should also be early constructions as well as vast gardens under glass and in caves with light via fiber optics. Freeze drying food concentrates flung to earth with electromagnetic mass drivers would be useful, and lead the way to cheaper, faster interplanetary cargo travel.

Relocate Laptop CPUs for Better Cooling, Increased Size, Speed?

If laptop and notebook computers are limited in size of their cpu because of heating considerations, wouldn't it be better to move the cpu to an outside locations where it isn't in a heat trap within the plastic or metal housing of the computer?

People use fans to cool computers and high power chips on desktops may have water cooling, yet cooling a cpu should exploit some naturally cooler locations on a computer than inside a case.


A cpu might extrude through the surface of a computer case in the lid or base. Probably the lid with the screen is a better, upright location. Some natural breezes or external fans or arctic air that natural cools things down even though the computer can release its heat directly to the air (an there could be a built in fan if necessary) seems like a better approach.


In fact one might have a complete notebook or laptop computer with the cpu seperate in a specially designed little box that plugs in. Then it could be simpler to make a low cost computer completely water resistant, and to have a built in solar panel on the outside of the vdt screen lid.

President Trump Should Pre-Pay the Webb Space Telescope

The James Webb Space Telescope is as valuable to astrophysics as was the Hubble ST and should be pre-paid in order to avoid budget wrangling. It will look farther and deeper into the Universe and with infrared observations may help reveal why the Universe is expanding and where dark matter is, if it is. This is very important. The Universe might be a project in a petri dish of some alien punk for all we know, though it was allowed by God through directed evolution. The President should not appear to be scientifically challenges and ought to pre-pay the cost for the Webb Telescope and put flame on the feet of project managers to complete it forthwith.

The government should not evolve toward support for corporate billionaire secret science on cosmology and astrophysics known only to billionaires themselves and their Chinese partners and engineers. Humanity has a right to e well-informed on such basic issues. Actually if President Trump cannot find a way to prioritize major scientific projects among other government expenditures such as meals ready to eat for soldiers instead of frozen mush*, or cannot forego a war or kinetic military action now and then (President Trump has been rather Reaganesque on that commendably so far), an international cosmology and astrophysics should form that would be funded by all participating government and remain public, publishing results as they find them instead of screening them on billionaire large screen displays.

*Cheaper military food rations should be dehydrated and lightweight, just add water kinds of items along with packages of pre-mixed vitamins. Total cost per meal should be less than $3.00. The food should be edible without water.

Two Week Supply of Coke Seized in NJ (3200 lbs)

Law enforcement officials were able to seize a two week supply of cocaine for New York City at the port of Newark, N.J. recently. A report states the value of the material was 77 million dollars. The cost of the loss to the owners might be as high as a half million (a guess).
