Lincoln Didn't Include Baltimore in the Emancipation Proclamation

 President Lincoln didn't include Maryland and other border states in his Emancipation proclamation. It took a third Maryland constitution years later to free the slaves. That interesting fact is useful here because it is part of the problem of displaced former slaves after the war thrown into homelessness en mass usually without a legal right to inhabit their former plantations. As a northerner during school before college long ago learning technical details of mass black homelessness after the civil war didn't occur. There were few blacks in the Pacific Northwest until the Second World War. School kids learned generalities of U.S. history and state history (Washington state for my experience). I took a world civilization course too. Three history course at a high school level is pretty shallow actually.

William Grose was the first black businessman in Seattle. Yet it wasn't until the federal government needed military support personnel in the war with Japan that many blacks moved to the Pacific Northwest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Grose_(black_Seattle_pioneer)

The two small cities I grew up in had no blacks not because of segregation-simply because none had moved in large numbers that far from the south, and race riots didn't exist even until after the Vietnam War by which time there was a substantial black population in large cities. Researching the black city migrations and rioting development as a topic would need to wait until opportunity arose for graduate research.

Since I am dead reckoning history here I will say that I am interested in the mass relocation of former slaves after the war. It is well known that many went on an exodus to northern cities creating the problem persisting to this time of mostly black urban ghettos and/or aka challenged neighborhoods and educational facilities, and in some a legacy of neo-apartheid with legally segregated housing such as in Baltimore that persisted for some time.

https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emancipation_Proclamation

In my opinion the entire phenomenon could have been nipped in the bud immediately after the war if the vast plantations that formerly sheltered black slaves were cut up into chunks of a few acres and redistributed to the former slaves who certainly had a fair claim to own the land rather than their former masters- or at least equally. It is one of the sad missed opportunities of history that many slaves after the war were legally landless people. Homelessness can be very challenging to get out of.

Apparently some plantation owners did give some land to the former slaves. Some of that was sharecropping that wasn't too far removed from slavery. Yet much land did remain with the families of plantation slavers; and that stimulated movements such as the clan seeking to perpetuate race-based economic advantages across the south with logical inertia.

If all of the former slaves were given 5 acres of real estate to own at the in 1866 it is possible that development and race relations of the United States would have been quite different.

No Stimulus Check = Republican Loss

 With so much money going to Republicans and Republican businesses during the McConnell era domination of the U.S. Senate voters put down the Trump re-election since many of their pockets were empty. Repeating that mistake will likely result in the Republican loss of the Senate to Democrats in the Georgia run-off election in January.

Senator McConnell could more convincingly play the Christmas scrooge putting a lump of Kentucky coal into voter's stockings if he didn't give preponderantly Republican owned small business free grant money by the hundreds of billions. There is nothing constitutionally agreeable about giving free money to preferred special interests instead of to all citizens individually and equally more or less.

In a sense Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski and Maine Senator Susan Collins are already neo-crats that vote blue on most feminine issues and numerous other Democrat agenda items that reach the Senate.  Senator Murkowski does support the pirate team plunder of ANWR of course  while Senator Collins may demure. The loss of the two Georgia Senate seats in the runoff election will seal the deal of U.S. Senate control by the Democrat party for the better part of a decade. Early voting starts December 14th. https://georgia.gov/vote-2020-runoff-elections

The actual election day is 5 January 2021.

The U.S. Government for several decades has turned toward giving hundreds of billions and sometimes trillions of dollars to corporations and small businesses asymmetrically regarding equal allocation of government giveaways to all citizens. In a way it could be said that sucks. Voters may not need to wait until January to determine discern if Senators are pips or  pugs.

Truth and Gravity Theory

 I won’t delve into the critical issue of whether or not the President denied the election result because he is suffering from Covid 19 brain fog and hair loss; this post is instead about what gravity really is. Occasionally I speculate and write something about it. I have no idea about the extent of the Higgs Field yet it is popularly credited with doing marvelous things to energy and for mass these days. Blame it for creating the appearance of gravity too. So what is gravity? It could be an apparent effect caused by the shape or reshaping of the Higgs Field interacting with energy and mass. If the Higgs Field allows mass in three dimensions to be created from two dimensional energy slowing down in the Higgs Field, the Higgs itself might be morphed and reshaped making thereby the appearance of space being curved in relation to gravity.

If the Higgs Field is more or less than three dimensions, the field may allow quantum entanglement information to be saved or relocated from three dimensions and disseminated faster than light-itself an apparent phenomena in three dimensions- through the non-three dimensional field and return to three dimensional locations with something like a waveform collapse.

Gravity occurs at light speed, and that would be natural if light speed is the norm for massless particle-waves or energy not slowed down to three dimensions. When energy becomes entangled from two dimensions to three and becomes embedded in a steady state in the Higgs Field, the aggregation of mass in the field reshapes the field and draws other mass toward it in field curvature. The field itself may act at the speed of light and create the appearance of gravity acting at the speed of light. If the field is expanding or is something is acting upon the field that isn’t of the three dimensional mass the Higgs Field could seem to be causing space to expand. There is an obvious way to regard that condition though; aggregation of mass that causes the Field to warp and attract mass may reciprocally expand space of the field bereft of elements of the field drawn in the Higgs Field and mass interactive aggregation situation.

Gravity is a marvelous thing. If it is an appearance because people see through a glass darkly embedded in the mass of particle-waves slowed down to sub-light speed in the Higgs Field, humans at least have the promise of discovering how it arises some day. Like the time when Abraham was asked to sacrifice his son Isaac by God, and Abraham showed he had such faith in God existing so as to be regarded as worthy of the promise, the appearance of gravity on this side of the cloud of unknowing may someday be rewarded by the saving grace of truth appearing; as when God sacrificed His Son Jesus Christ to save all of those of faith. The truth will set gravity theorists free.

No Stimulus Money Except for the Well-Off?

 I.M.O. the U.S. has a history of bailing out the rich in recent years more so than the poor. The poor would benefit most from a second stimulus check thus it has a low priority to politicians that are millionaires and billionaires and entirely sold out to the Federal purpose of concentrating wealth.

For some reason I believe that the Federal Government should be fair and balanced in giving free money away to citizens and not just work to benefit the well to do and those that already have money, or had it over history. Trillions of zero interest loans have gone to rich banks, and corporations like Chrysler and GM and numerous other businesses have been bailed out by the government. I am more for letting troubled businesses bite it when they fall on hard times and instead support the process of getting basic jobs and income for all citizens from the bottom up. Those businesses that are failing should just crash and burn in the free market.

I feel that way about federal programs to build new homes for Americans that lose their homes to hurricanes and tornadoes, forest fires and so forth. There are homeless Americans the country doesn’t care about at all. Just because people have become accustomed to driving a nice car and living in a nice home I know of no just reason why the government should replace those after a natural disaster. What happened to the idea of risk? Why should the government always prop up the prosperous when they have hard times as if they were a royal class entitled to a certain standard of living while the poor and lower middle class can eat it?

I believe that the poor and middle class as well as other inventive individuals can create new businesses when the field is leveled by natural disaster and pandemics if the government does not leap in to restore them with grants as if the Bourbon restoration was the better example of political conduct and if the poor. lower middle class and unfinanced competitors to the established have equal amounts of free federal cash.

About Photons

 Photons are massless or nearly massless particle/waves (bosons) force carriers of an electromagnetic field. Their speed seems fairly certain. Relativity and the problem of simultaneity of measurements in different location present issues for calculating times apparently. Sub-atomic particle-waves are slowed down to less than light speed in the Higgs field and thus have a third dimension of mass. Without the Higgs field mass would not exist, and energy like photons I believe would be two-dimensional and flat like a communion wafer. It is all interesting stuff to learn about- especially as regards relativity and uncertainty. The books 'What is Real'  by Adam Becker and 'Mass' by Jim Baggot are good easy to read works that go pretty deep into quantum topics. There is another book that I read a few years ago named 'Faster Than the Speed of Light' by Joao Magueijo that was an interesting speculation on variable speed of light theory. I liked that book and for a while thought it might be so. If space expands quickly it might be possible for a field to expand with it including an electromagnetic field or a Higgs Field or unified field and then if particle-waves existed in it they too might be travelling faster than light usually does. I guess though that speed is simply relative to other objects or particle-waves while in-themselves they are motionless.

Photons and other massless particles seem to have a basic speed of just being. That initial, basic speed of just existing-in-themselves is faster than particles with mass that are all slower than light and massless particles because they are all slowed by the Higgs Field to sub-light speed picking up that third dimension characteristic of mass that massless particles of two-dimensions may not have.

Plainly there appears to be faster than light sharing of information among entangled particle waves. That apparent phenomenon could be an endemic characteristic of waves and the  Schrödinger equation or wave function. Maybe it is also related to dimensional shortcuts. Interestingly gravity also travels at the speed of light. Perhaps that is a property related to the fact of nothing traveling faster than massless particles like photons and neutrinos just being.

The Supreme Court Destroyed the Structure of Marriage

 When Chief Justice Roberts weighed in to destroy the structure of marriage he joined with the pervading social zeitgeist of unreality of the era that was redefining names to mean flavors of evolution rather than Platonic realist things-in-themselves. Marriage had a structure that was written in common law and tradition that referred to the institution protecting women and children’s rights’ family rights in the process of creating humans. Creating or birthing humans was always accomplished exclusively with two people heterosexually sharing the task. Chief Justice Roberts and court secularists decided it was convenient to destroy the meaning of the structure of marriage and change it to something else that would thereby permit homosexuals to redistribute the rights given by law to marriage unto themselves as well.

 Redefining structure as a method for redistributing the properties of legal rights is an interesting way to render laws and meanings malleable to corrupt interests seeking to expropriate established properties of rights. If structure is explicitly redefined it should be acknowledged publicly rather than in passing fate accompli. In the case of marriage it would have been a better choice to leave the integrity of the meaning of the word in its historical and sane context and create a new establishment for homosexuals to legally entangle themselves together in instead of corrupting plain and simple truth.

 The criterion's conundrum was the rise of nominalism over neo-realism in linguistics. Kripke's version failed to a nominalism so extreme that falsehood became as good as truth.  Courts regarded morphing structures as fair dinkum in reconstructing political correctness for the New World Order favoring billionaires and scientist-atheists.

One of the problems with erasing truth from law and legal structures that are well established and replacing them with operative fiction is in the new methods of defense of hostile takeovers that attack defenders as bigots. In the case of abortion women in support of abortion did not generally accuse men and women that opposed abortion as bigots as did homosexuals to those defending the real structure of marriage. There is a great difference between taking sides in a legitimate political dispute in a democratic society and bigotry or persecution of individuals personally for having an antipathetic political opinion publicly expressed. In the modern social media environment many subtle ways exist to harm conservatives defending traditional values- and here I refer to moral values rather than interests of the rich and wealth classes seeking to concentrate wealth that paradoxically is quite predominant amidst homosexuals and Wall Street equally with moral conservatives.

 Truth is a useful item to adhere to even when it requires philosophical thought instead of simple unthinking acceptance of a given social inertia. Evolution theory seems to eliminate the requirement for truth in politics as the end and methods are deemed for-themselves neither good nor bad except as they are desired by the powerful. Evolution theory is just a phenomenon in a deeper Universe or Multiverse that may exist as math ideas in the mind of God. The entire Universe may be pre-determined structurally inclusive of evolution in a mysterious eternally existing process sustained by the will of God. Modern cosmology offers a field of deep ideas that aren’t antipathetic to the concept that Jesus Christ is the Word of God who created the Universe. The shallow leap to the conclusion that if evolution exists then Bible cosmology is wrong and that idea is itself wrong. Legal issue need also seek to keep the truth of structures intact in respect of laws promulgated by a Democratic, representative government. Instead of corrupting the meaning of structures it should allow legislatures to put new vinegar into new wine skins.

 Consider the idea of the structure of what makes a church for tax exempt status purposes. In theory there isn’t much reason why the Supreme Court couldn’t hear a case and decide that the Dow Jones establishment is a church where people worship money and should therefore be given tax exempt status for all the members. If the court did that it would be recognizable that the meaning of the structure of a church had changed or been corrupted to benefit a special interest as it was in the case of homosexuals and marriage.

 There was no compelling reason to corrupt one working structure by redefining and thereby destroying it to protect a minority or to assure equal rights or protection of the law; all men and women in the U.S.A. had equal opportunity to participate in marriage. Now that the structure of marriage has been destroyed, none have the opportunity. What supplanted marriage and took its name is something else that is likely to have long-range deleterious effects upon society equal to that of the corruption by the Supreme Courts choice.

 Conflation of a host of issues pertaining to discrimination against homosexuals led to the wrong decision to annihilate the structure of marriage, although a secondary reason was that certain influential, effete intellectuals felt that global demographics and the limits of population growth deemed the need to end marriage as a normal practice. Truth and information were better ways to address the problems of population growth and decreasing ecosystem extent and health with finite natural resources. All citizens including homosexuals should have security in work and culture; that wasn’t ever much of an issue. If people wish to sin that is their right so far as it isn’t a crime in this world. Homosexuals, Wall Street, social media and the left have tried to ban opposition to homosexual marriage and have employed subtle and some ham-fisted methods to proscribe expression of opposition. So much the worse for democracy and empowerment of Plutocrats and their minions.

 A final point for the edification of certain broadcast media wise-guys on what the meaning is of the Christian Church being the bride of Christ. It is nothing about homosexuality that is roundly proscribed in the Bible in New and Old Testaments. It is simply and expression, a kind of literal metaphor about the love that the creator of the Universe has for the souls that are the elect and saved eternally to worship God. Keep in mind that the Christian belief is that God created the Universe and every soul in it, and that the Universe is replete with original sin (that to me is exemplified in the thermodynamic facts of life and energy consumption and pro-creative urges) and therefore people are unfit for eternal life with God. Just through the atoning gift of God in the saving grace and crucifixion and substitution of the Lord Jesus for payment-unto death of sin owed by all can any of humanity be saved, rather than go to eternal hell.

 A human soul is a vaporous thing in a manner of speaking. It is a phenomenal, effervescent self-aware person existing for a moment in temporal being. It was created in a Universe created by God through the Son as the Word of God. God loves those saved souls and that is the meaning of the church as the bride of Christ; he really does care about the elect saved through the grace of the Spirit of God enabling faith in individual souls. The swell broadcast media and others might need a little humility to comprehend that. Too much prosperity and power may dull spiritual sensibility as well as good political sense to understand the value f keeping integrity concerning structure and legal meanings rather than melting down non-legislatively as if they were wax forms to be recast in the zeitgeist-world spirit of political correctness.

Politicians Consider Stimulus Plans to Motivate 1%

 Federal politicians are considering a stimulus plan to help get the economy going through the Covid 19 era that would in some way accelerate the concentration of wealth upwardly. Thus the concept of just providing another $1200 payment to all Americans earning fewer than $40,000 annually was thrown out because those Americans would probably spend the money right away and buy things that would make life easier. Instead large checks to and loans that needn't be repaid will go to small businesses like the L.A. Lakers and others struggling to make it to another NBA final later this month. Personally I hope the Lakers win another championship and a Covid 19 relief check and zero interest loans might help them rehab Boogie Cousins or sign a 9th round draft choice.

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/02/mcconnell-schumer-far-apart-on-unemployment-benefits-stimulus-plans.html

It is important to take another few months to find a way to send a stimulus plan that is just perfect because there won't be any time to fix anything wrong with it the next four years. Especially since Democrats may take the Senate and find a way to send help to government union workers that have the worst jobs in the U.S.A. with terrible retirement benefits, Speaker Pelosi needs to get that right.  

Especially since no one really understands what the Federal Public Debt means since it has no real material basis anymore like gold, and trillions have been given  to the rich banks along with zero interest rates since the 2008 financial crisis taking several more months to craft a splendid bill works. It is possible that some special pens will be designed to sign the bill into law when the final t's are crossed and i's dotted and the public can read about what's in it. People that have become homeless during the crisis or that were denied unemployment compensation for one reason or another might prefer that those that were prosperous before the crisis receive the most and fasted relief money from the U.S. Government being patriotic and all as they are  confident that the rich are looking out for them.

Invisible Martian Collusion with Biden to Steal Trump Votes?

 President Trump may have lost the election because of collusion between the Biden campaign and invisible Martian agents provocateurs and agents reallocating votes from machines that went to trump initially to the Biden buffer. Evidence is plain and abundant in that Joe Biden won by six million votes. Those votes were rightfully votes for Trump.

 Joe Biden fractured an ankle recently in a cage match with his dog providing more evidence of Martian collusion. Martians may have the capacity for taking the form of a dog. No other explanation could exist for the victory of the German Sheppard viciously body slamming the MME enabled Democratic President-elect into submission. That dog may be the foreign affairs liaison election coordinator with leadership of the Martian ministry of Excellent Subversions.

 If President Trump isn’t able to find more evidence of Martian collusion his Presidency may actually end leaving much unfinished and the great task of locating the Trump Presidential Twit library to conserve millions of Donald Trump’s greatest tweets to Twitter.

 Trump populism failed because (besides the fact that billionaire populism is a bit disingenuous) it needed to transition the industrial working core to ecologically beneficial activities rather than dig a deeper hole for atmospheric heating and mass species extinction. Nationalism and populism that lead by good example are fine; international agreements are no good substitute for fixing one’s own nation’s economically maladapted infrastructure- they are just a way of passing the buck. The kingdom of ecospheric health is within a nation rather than the diplosphere of treaties. While Earth is running a current accounts gap as if Mars had a great trade surplus with Earth (because of corporate and individual wealth hidden in offshore accounts), and there is no tax on wealth, there isn’t much chance of actually creating a sustainable ecosphere and economy on Earth that works for all of the people all of the time.

An E-4 Opening Against the Pirc Defense Blitz Game

 I played a game against the Pirc defense recently. I have considered using it against 1 .d4 yet don't really know too much about it. When I played 1. e-4 the Pirc appeared and this is what happened. Hence I may stay away from that defense.

Why Donald Trump Lost the 2020 Election

 The daily death toll of a man a minute in the U.S.A. around election time was predictable several months ago. The President’s clumsy response to Covid 19- I rate him as a C- at best, assured that renewed mass infection would occur after people returned to schools and precautionary spacing measures were reduced in the Mid-west and South leading up to election time.

 I predicted the third wave of Covid for October and November  months ago without any difficulty.

https://garycgibson.blogspot.com/2020/08/on-algorithms-for-moral-decisions-video.html

 The Presidential attitude eschewing a mask and making jokes such as suggesting injecting antiseptic cleaner as a remedy to kill the virus stimulated numerous red communities to abandon caution in restoring their economies to operation from lockdown. What was needed was a very serious, sober Presidential response about Covid 19 along with role model of mask wearing and soliciting of suggestions for ways to prevent mass infection and keep the economy operating at the same time. Presidential leadership could have at least prompted manufacture of a complete head covering mask that was comfortable and that would allow dangerous during a pandemic era activities like riding public transit to resume. Even activities like manufacturing computers, cars and slaughtering farm animals for food required some sort of safety head-covering manufacture leadership from the President that never occurred.

https://wgntv.com/news/coronavirus/illinois-surpasses-700000-covid-19-cases-12000-deaths-as-state-reports-7574-new-cases-66-deaths/

 President Trump appeared to blow off Covid 19 and the death rate as something of secondary importance to profit and the Dow Jones Industrial average increase. There are between 170,000 and 200,000 new infections each day and even with a .5% death rate the number is consequential. That may be a reason why the President lost the election by six million votes; older people at risk of medical complications and death were likely to be somewhat disinclined to vote for president Trump this time where in 2016 they might have been more concerned about tax cuts for their golden years. Boomers might be the largest demographic in the nation and they have experienced far higher than average number of deaths from the virus during the pandemic. President Trump’s attitude seemed like callous indifference to Covid risk compared to economics. That is just a perception that some have and that may have cost Donald Trump the 2020 election although he may be the only fellow in the nation that still doesn’t know he lost the election.

 President Trump has said the election was “100% rigged” against him. He would not be the first American to learn that society has ad hoc networks as well as established ones that can rig the economic game against a single individual. Crank conservatives would dismiss the idea explaining that the President is a lazy loser and no one or organization ever interferes with anyone’s economic self-determination; the President has no one besides himself to blame.

If there is a Kweer Klux Clan subverting free speech throughout social media that worked against President Trump to actualize a plan for global political control for sympathetic sponsoring corporate billionaires who would know? One trouble is that President Trump is himself a member of the global corporate Plutocratic billionaire class despite his claims to populism as evidenced by slaughtering the ecosphere, drilling oil and subverting clean air and water standards in the U.S.A. There are concrete ceilings beneath which the enterprising individual may bump his head in futility to the amusement of the powerful.

 At any rate the election loss demonstrated the strength of the Electoral College in preventing corruption of the general presidential election; with fifty states independently counting votes there is little chance of a system wide failure of integrity. To fool the public on the vote count in fifty states would be very challenging. Fifty state Supreme Courts would need to be persuaded of the dishonesty of election proceedings in their jurisdiction following lawsuits brought locally, and not a single state has found substantive evidence of mass voter frauds or election official counting deceit so far.
