Second Partisan Impeachments Vindictive?

Second partisan impeachments might be regarded as vindictive…a continuum of hate sort of flows and evolves along until the coup de grace. 

"noun

1. a final blow or shot given to kill a wounded person or animal.

   "he administered the coup de grâce with a knife"

I didn’t see much of the event of the populist surge of protestors into the Capitol on Youtube. Police were weak in numbers and had inadequate crowd control though they knew for quite a while and could have been better prepared. The Senate looked rather peaceful from the bit I did see. Plainly though it is a moment for counting coup on Donald Trump. Even Swarzennegger said that it was comparable to Nazis trashing Jews (maybe on Krystallnacht. Arnold Schwarzenegger likens Capitol riot to Nazi attack on Jews With the Democrats set to take control of the entire government the next two years one needs to be sure to be politically correct and get on the right side of the left-media and organizations or else. America’s Authoritarian Adversaries Seize the Moment

Democrats have ‘interpreted’ President Trump’s language four years, giving it a life and meaning of their own. To me as an amateur logician that custom seems plainly libel extrinsically. I need to say that in four years I never heard the President actually say a single racist remark, though I tend to interpret the rare use of English language on the basis of what people actually say literally, first, before considering the gestalt of things.

Impeaching the President one-more-time isn’t good sense. If the Senate actually got a two-thirds vote to convict and the possible front-running 2024 Republican candidate were banned I think that would create a lasting divide and a bad additional move to the extreme for Democrats that have been moving to take extreme measures since the Obama administration. Former Majority leader Harry Reed recently said that Democrats may need to get rid of the filibuster rule to prevent Republicans from obstructing their agenda. The problem with that would be that if some actual extremist party took control their would be nothing to stop them from working their agenda; that is no semblance of popular concurrence to political legislation would exist. Instead one party with a 1% majority would force its will upon maybe 150 million Americans. Technically one might be able to get away with that yet practically it might be tough to hold a democracy together that way.

Sure the Democrats of the House and Senator Schumer are vindictive and hateful politicians drunk on their own Russian-collusion kool-aid. They had a virtual intifada four years- a maximum filibuster orgy of hate for President Trump finding every possible angle to obstruct and abnormalize his state of being. Did he deserve that? The answer may not be as important as the consequences.

President Trump was his own worst enemy for the re-election that he lost. He did not say anything about a platform for the next four years; it was simply understood that he is great and made America great again and could not lose. Maybe he thought he would do whatever he wanted; the last year he gutted every environmental law he could. The President was an insensitive aloof guy on Covid 19 responses that would shut the economy down (he should have thought of something to keep it open and safe at the same time). Paradoxically he made some great executive actions in that period too advancing Middle East peace with Israel and Arab nations and recently restoring diplomatic recognition fully with Taiwan. Good policy like that is why conservative tend to like him.

As a Christian I valued his appointment of conservative Supreme Court judges. There is a real trend in the purely secular Democrat party to disrespect Christians and theology, to consider prayer a kind of ‘magical thinking’ that is not heard by anyone-certainly not a God they don’t believe in. Christian pastors that have wrong eschatological theology and remained loyal to any candidate that would not seek to degrade Christian life and ethics have in light of the mostly white protestors on capitol hill been associated with racism, and perhaps unfairly. If 95% of blacks voted for President Obama because he was black, those blacks that are Christians voted for a candidate twice that supported liberal homosexuality, abortion, tax cuts for the rich and concentration of wealth. Keeping the political argument just along racial lines pulls the wool over the eyes of those that aren’t 1%ers concerning wealth.

Op-ed: From white clergy of mostly white flock, Capitol siege demands a look in the mirror

The idea of an atheist nation of neo-globalist minions of concentrated wealth corporatism foisting homosexual marriage and abortion upon the masses while the 6th mass extinction in progress isn’t appealing to some independent intellectuals. There is not a sound proof against the existence of God, yet their is a lot of evidence for the existence of Jesus Christ as part of the Triune God. Philosophically speaking contemplation of cosmology is better normalized with God as the sustaining agent of the Higgs Field, space, dimensions and etc. rather than just one-half of the possible explanatory scenarios. God for example could create an holographic universe as readily as a vast quantum computer with A.I.

A Serious Ideological Threat to the United States

 The United States is becoming a nation with greatly concentrated wealth. There are numerous ideologies from many angles that reinforce that fact. Mussolini’s economic philosophy of corporatism isn’t well known by Americans who have too little time to invest in reading the history of political philosophy. It is the fact of tightening corporatism that is the clear and present danger to American’s tradition of individualism, free expression, free enterprise and national self-determination through free and fair elections, rather than an ideology; corporatism tends to discourage much non-occupational thinking. In that regard they are fairly similar to their Chinese Communist Maoist-Leninist partners in global trade and business.

The decline of the ecosphere is an empirical threat with the 6th great mass extinction event in progress by human causation. Corporatism runs rough-shod over that and encourages continuing exploitation of natural resources. The United States might have tolerated 300 million citizens if it had a stable, sustainable ecological economic policy yet it doesn’t and cannot keep on increasing its population and degrading the ecosphere very well and serve as an example to even more populous, poorer nations. Corporatism enjoys product disposability and replacement sales phenomena. The Earth’s resources are not disposable however, and that indicates something wrong with the policy of corporate cycle of production and consumerism.

The value of a government social-media censor-resistant citizen site

Writing on a number of topics on the Internet for the past 20 years I have found that nearly 100% of my work was eventually banned, taken down or minimized in search engine listings so it can’t be seen. I have written on philosophical, theological, historical and other subjects besides the political topics with a few words that resulted in my work being deleted. My writing is solid liberal scholarship essays on numerous topics and the break in continuity was invariably damaging. What people working in any occupation with free enterprise self-employment would like their work to disappear overnight?

God, Cosmology and Nothingness - Theory and Theology In a Scientific Era - Kindle edition by Gibson, Garrison Clifford. Religion & Spirituality Kindle eBooks @ Amazon.com.

Vast deep-pockets set the rules for their own servers and websites and effectively has the complete power to censor or marginalize any opinion they find convenient too.

Generally they use a blunt instrument too-if one opposed homosexual marriage very well simply finding a few word pejoratively offensive to homosexuals could result in a lifetime ban across the Internet for all practical purposes. A nation and democratic government that relies up plutocrats to censor political speech will find that a plutocracy eventually dominates all of the wealth and power of a nation concentrating it in 1% of the people.

It is irritating for writers to have their work just disappear overnight while the large established powers increase their power. That is ad hoc monopolistic market manipulation at the very least.

Some Do View Freedom as Weakness

 If one were a dictator or a collectivist dictatorship leader then freedom could be viewed as a weakness in the paradigm of absolute rule and power. Free individuals may offer anti-state, dissentient opinion disturbing to ruling elites.

The degrees of freedom refer to the number of dimensions of possible activity that a soul may journey upon. Physics and fate may place numerous bindings upon individuals that require intelligent, creative thought to overcome. Such ideas among the oppressed are anathema to those oppressing others.

There is an ancient philosophical maxim that expressed the relationship between freedom and servitude; ‘If you are happy with your head in a pile of crap, don’t stick your neck out’.

On Public Versus Corporate Power Instead of Nation vs Nation

 Multi-national corporations and sophisticated investors have a heck of a lot more money and in some senses, practical power than worldly governments today that in effect have military that defend corporate and investor global interests.

Global corporations and concentrated wealth tends to out-last many government elected officials. Governments also have a tough time finding people that comprehend well the mass empirical effects of economic methods applied to the real natural world (such as ecospheric degradation). Another challenge to ordinary people is that social media is preponderantly owned by the most rich, as is the broadcast media so making substantial political change through politics is difficult to accomplish. Opinions that are published in some senses must pass through corporate-owned hoops, for example- the President of the United States with 88 million followers was recently banned from Twitter.

Philosophers have written about the problem of corporatism concentrating wealth and controlling governments in the past. In my opinion it will be very challenging for governments to battle with corporations meaningfully since politicians and Supreme Court personnel need to be corporate approved to reach high office- there just won’t be a will to battle with corporate and concentrated wealth and power. I am not optimistic.

The Unconscious Civilization

Politics Can't Change Easily to Avoid Anthropocene Mass Extinction

 If people have bad political leadership unconcerned about the ecosphere they live in the people can suffer obviously. With a finite quantity of natural resources the world with nearly ten billion people can run out of things and the carrying capacity of the planet, just like a ship’s, can be full. Some politicians have blind faith in technological solutions to environmental challenge and in my opinion that is very dangerous. One loss in bad engineering can bring complete systemic failure.

A political economy can be mal-adaptive for challenges that are external to in-place economic practices. If one has a Love Canal, Minamata Tragedy or usual environmental disaster Timeline: Ten Major Ecological Disasters that may seem to some business as usual, yet the mass extinction in progress- the 6th in the Earth’s history is human caused and obvious. Could Humans Ever Become Extinct?

Many humans are happy with an economy in which they are immersed thoughtlessly like ants scurrying about compiling dollars, stuffed sofas, homes and so forth while the real world outside their doors is in decline. Oceans are warming and becoming acidified, shellfish are threatened by the acid, global atmospheric heating is in progress too and asphalt to absorb sunshine is still be rolled out everyplace it seems- things that are o.k. if a limited number of people do it may be entirely destructive when a lot of people, or billions of people do it. Some people cannot believe or have faith that something is true until the disaster or salvation as the case may be is upon them. One hopes that such people do not always lead with Epimethean economic paradigms when a Promethean-forward looking viewpoint is necessary for human survival. Some people simply have no sense- consider for example how much cooler a natural lot is in the hot Phoenix sunshine than an asphalt parking lot, and multiply that heating effect all over the American south for any given day with all of those miles of asphalt roads etc. There are more than 4 million miles of paved road in the U.S.A.

10 Numbers That Show How Much Farmland We're Losing to Development - Modern Farmer

Part of the problem of change is fundamental and logical; those with the most invested in a particular economic system are the most resistant to change for they have the most cash to lose. The historian Arnold Toynbee is his ‘A Study of History’ determined that civilizations cannot usually respond well to external challenges. The phenomena that went in to making a civilization what it is continues and cannot be replaced easily by something new. Social is much greater than the influence of a few new leaders with better ideas.

To change a society in a designed way that is a necessary and positive direction would require political platforms with specific goals continued over time to insinuate ecological sustainability generally. People commonly underestimate how really selfish ordinary people are in advantaged economic positions. Jesus was quite right when he said that the meek shall inherit the Earth, although God would need to bring tat condition into being rather than political reformers.

About the Collapse of the American Empire

The United States of America is a collection of former colonies and territories that either revolted against imperial British rule or petitioned to join the union. Because the United States economic system is not the same as the government, and because people own private property and private capital rather than the government preponderantly (private capital is of far greater value today than public capital), answers to questions about when the American empire will collapse, like a souffle as it were, are challenging to answer as they are a little off the mark.

One might ask when the dollar will collapse and that would be possibly more accurate. Experts may know if it will yet the dollar is a universal floating currency held by global plutocrats and Chinese communists as well as Americans from the U.S.A., Mexico and Peru etc.

The American economic system’s wealthy people-plutocrats are part of a global community of plutocrats in my opinion, and wondering when their power will end is another interesting question different of course than the one about when the non-real American empire will end.

America was an empire for 20 years when it had the Philippines as a colony as a result of the Spanish American war, and so when the Philippines took their liberty from the U..S.A. I suppose that was the actual collapse of the American empire- in either 1935 or 1946 depending upon if one regards a commonwealth as independent.

One further could wonder if the influence of globalist plutocrats and corporations that are preponderantly American will collapse and that is a tough question. As an occasional science fiction writer I could develop innumerable scenarios for that, for instance, when artificial intelligence takes over the world, when a global pandemic crashes world population or when too much social use of dope and evil broadcast media reduces the intelligence of everyone so far that they cannot understand the complexity any more. It is sometimes fun to consider alternative dystopias and utopias as future possibilities too help realize the futility of every getting good intelligent politicians to make the world a much better place.

 

Sen. Schumer 'duels' with the President at Electoral College Tally

It wasn't a good way to official usher in the President elect. Democrat leaders were blind to the aspirations of millions of the political opposition and believe just their own ideas are acceptable. Intelligent people have empathy- that is they understand the point of view of other people-Democrats tend to fail at that. When the Senate returned to the chambers to wrap up the electoral vote process Vice-President Pence and Majority Leader McConnell made dignified speech addressing the issue. Then came Senator Chuck Schumer who seemed overcome with hatred of President Trump. In most of American history such abuse as Mr Schumer spewed would beg for a duel, and it might be a good thing if a couple of politicians were shooting each other instead of f' ing up the public business as they usual do. Sadly I missed watching the spectacle live, It must have been a sight watching Chuck Schumer wade into the mob throwing punches all around leading the resistors defending the sacred senate temple from desecration. Democrat Presidents and vice are always lawyers- a slum of lawyers since the Clintons, and Americans can expect consigliary subterfuge and deceit four more years. It would be good if someone with an economic and environmental brain ran for the job and got the nomination. President-elect Biden showed his age when he said that Americans will learn to respect Democrat leadership the next four years, especially one assumes, as he exonerates Hunter's relationship with Ukrainian paymasters while Dad was Vice-President supporting the attack on Ukraine’s Russian rivals.

A democracy requires leaders that comprehend the art of finding a way for as many people to get what they want as possible without stepping on the toes of others. Lawyers are good at their profession of representing clients in litigation- they seek to win for a client and make the other a loser. Lawyers have no special qualification for the Presidency- they should work with laws rather than make them. The Democrat leadership slum of lawyer-President since Bill Clinton have sought to make Americans that aren’t goose-stepping sycophants of their lunatic agenda losers. They expect Americans to learn to respect corporate censorship, to respect the daily hate, to be nailed down and compliant so they don’t need to hammer people into silence.

 Congressional opponents of President Andrew Jackson probably incited violence against him - an assassination attempt Jan 30th 1835. The Attempt to Kill "King Andrew" I am not really a fan of Australians, yet some of their reputed toughness of character might be better in such a circumstance as the gunless ‘insurrection’. One thinks of the line of Julius Ceasar when he is being stabbed to death when he pulls up his toga over his head and says; "This is violence". He was such a clown.

 A good example of political insider violence would be Vice President Calhoun who resigned to join Congress and form the War Hawk Party leading to ‘the nullification crisis’ and the civil war. This week in history: John C. Calhoun resigns as vice president That is a complex and interesting story that took time to develop. The 1856 beating of a Senator from Massachusetts by a Congressman from South Carolina with a cane is another story. Assault of Senator Charles Sumner | US House of Representatives: History, Art & Archives

Democrats are equally responsible for the mayhem that disrupted the electoral college proceedings for they have made a custom since the Clinton administration of having their way or no way as far as possible. They are the actual party of intolerance along the lines of Joseph Stalin. Senator Schumer definitely threw gasoline on the fire of national division so far as he possibly could. Senator Schumer and Hillary Clinton experienced the last gasp of 'the deplorables' that voted for President Trump- they emulated the Democrat Party custom of forcing the law to stretch as far as possible to benefit themselves. Senator Schumer was aghast that the Senate chamber was “desecrated”, yet had little to say for the year of Antifah stoning and fire-bombing of the Federal Courthouse in Portland Oregon that drew his ire equally. Portland Oregon doesn't count in comparison to Washington D.C. evidently.

A democracy cannot reasonably be run in such a way that a bare majority can expect to get away with murder and force their policies upon 49% of the people whenever they have a majority. In a nation of 320 million people that approach isn't wise. With oodles of weapons of mass destruction and an overpopulated world their will be dissent sometimes rising tom use those tools of politics through other means. Maybe some biological custom redesigner of viruses will engineer a subtle device to cull the population of millions- who can predict the future? The U.S.A. Should be a nation with a reputation for trying to tolerate the political opinions and morals of millions of people rather than ridiculing or suppressing them to extinctions as Democrats might like to do. The art of democratic politics should be to make each side happy whenever possible instead of just one side with a nominal majority. I should stipulate that I.m.o. as the world political response to Covid 19 evidenced, there may not be any intelligent political leaders on the planet, so getting dual political plaintiffs in a civil matter to be happy may exceed the I.Q. Of those elected.

Democrats want to take America to atheism and homosexuality norms- they have passed hate speech laws and require terms of endearment or censorship follows in the corporate bulletin board of social media, Democrats sponsored abortion of what- sixty million fetuses, Democrats forced homosexual marriage on the nation when the public would, have tolerated some sort of separate civil union establishment; they refused to respect the onions of a virtual majority and choose the path of conflict instead of taking a course that would accomplish what the homosexuals wanted and left the sane institution of heterosexual marriage uncorrupted.

Democrats forced Obamacare on the nation with a technical vote using the nuclear option. Leaders like Chuck Schumer say the hell with the opinion of so many Americans against it. Some day that custom of not finding accommodation for strong American opinions may have real deleterious national consequences. The funny thing is that most of the opinions that are so inflammatory are easily remedied with better ideas including that of flooding the nation with illegal alien workers to render the political opinions of non-Democrats minority opinions. Phasing out American political resistance by flooding the nation with replacement workers and voters over a few decades also riles up several million Americans.

Many of the ideas if the red party are as wrong as that of the blue party. I though it might be a good idea therefore to create a third party- a white party (red, white and blue) yet that would be construed of course as racist these days. While Chuck Schumer is irate about what he labeled were 'insurrectionists' storming the capital like peasants with pitchforks might have tried in some former time or perhaps SDS radicals leading protesters to trash a government building during the Vietnam War, he seems unaware that his economic theories are wrong as are those of most on Capitol Hill. No one their seems to have an idea about how to have the Federal Reserve make those zero-interest loans to Social Security instead of big banks who can loan out 9 e-dollars from thin air for each e-dollar deposited by the Federal Reserve. That custom in the quantitative easing era has in effect given 200 trillion bucks to the rich since 2008, and the world economy is only worth may 100 trillion annually- that practice seems stupid from my humble non-economist perspective.

If Social security has great investment managers loan out cash from the federal reserve keeping the usual, and even a high marginal reserve on deposit the people of the United States would benefit more or less equally instead of just the rich when the rich have liquidity problems or the Federal Reserves believe they do.

China today has an economy that is an almost perfect fulfillment of Lenin's NEP program if it were carried out to a logical maturity. There is a mixed economy of private investment in business under communist party supervision. America's corporate people have signed off on investing in China for what seems like most electronic product production as well as innumerable other manufactures. They submit to China's law that a Chinese subject must own 51% of any business their. Meanwhile the U.S.A. has a jackass system of the Federal Reserve helping concentrate wealth and power in a global plutocracy and the plutocracy invests in China while Democrats flood the nation with illegal alien workers while drug cartels seem like one of the best businesses in Mexico.

President Trump was not the worst President in U.S. History as the histrionic Senator Schumer said. Actual President Trump did a fairly good job until 2020 when he bungled Covid management and set an especially bad example of not wearing a mask. He also used 2020 to accelerate gutting ecosphere health, and of course he exited office gracelessly bringing unwanted excitement to the Capitol.

President Trump deserves a Nobel Prize for Peace on his Middle East work and Democrats should remember that he started no foreign wars even while Democrats like Rep. Adam Schiff were throwing every sort of baloney content they could at him during the great smear the President with accusations that he is a Russian agent, dupe or general dope for President Vladimir Putin. President Trump was not the worst President by any means, though he does seem to have a problem with too much egoism. He is a billionaire so his approach can't be entirely impractical.

Social Media/Corporate Bulletin Boards and Subtle Conquest

 War is a continuation of politics through other means. War is not generally a sport with fixed rules of engagement, declarations of intent etc. It needn’t be said they are less desirable means than intelligent responses within democracy that address all of the concerns of various parties involved as protagonists. The founder’s Declaration of Independence was a succinct statement concerning the right of revolt of oppressed masses. It should be remembered that real material, spiritual and social interests in addition to natural resources should be protected where possible rather than destroyed. If the United States for example does not need a kinetic war to improve the situation, and if the war could not actually resolve the problem and would make matters worse, then other means should precede and supplant kinetic conflict.

One concern I have is social media. Quora is a good outlet for free expression though it too may have limits.

Social Media; Utilities or Corporate Bulletin Boards?

The freedom to use social media including blogs for personal and creative constructions require the media to be less flimsy than anti-global warming arguments. Writers don’t want their works to disappear when a web site goes black. To invest a lot of time in developing a product to then experience search engine listings being cut off by Google blogs after one criticizes N.S.A. or Google policy is consistent with the blog as a corporate bulletin board rather than a public utility. It is the nature of a public utility that is apparently necessary for security of free expression.

Since the first Obama administration I have experienced every place I write either disappearing, or I have been banned for using politically incorrect language occasionally. With the new Democrat administration Google managers felt it appropriate to zero my blog listings so they cannot be found. In my opinion that was noteworthy.

The concentration of power and wealth historically occur together. With the social networking of Wall Street and the support of free money loans from the Federal Reserve to the rich who then can mint their own e-dollars nine-fold for each dollar deposited concentration of wealth has occurred in the United States. Wall Street is global so a global plutocracy may be far advanced in development. They invest in China. Warren Buffet probably has a second home their. Plutocrats own social media in America.

Social media is used to express political opinions as well as sundry other thought and product sales. If it is a corporate bulletin board the content need be satisfactory and in effect subordinate to corporate goals and mission. Anything else could be degraded in search engine listing or deleted altogether. Corporatism spells the end of democracy and rise of plutocracy with happy minions. It might be useful for the government of the United States to create a social media site maintained by the Library of Congress that would allocate one space per registered citizen to write as much as they want without fear of it being deleted, censored or degraded in public search engine listings. Democracy of the United States in the modern era cannot exist without free speech and free speech unsubject to corporate plutocratic criteria for normal publication.

Without honest competition that won’t disappear and that isn’t biased against some social element, social media will simply become entirely owned and controlled by plutocrats. Individual writers can afford to tilt against the windmills of deep pockets of Google for less than a pico-second. If Verizon now owns Yahoo and it can delete one’s web site for using corporate defined hate speech can’t it also listen in to everyone’s Verizon phone calls with technology and censor any language it deems hateful? A democracy entirely filtered through corporate owned social media and mass communications is one that will become a complete farce. That former democracy will be nothing more than a sham maintained to keep somnolent masses contented.

Would the founders of the United States have been satisfied with rich British corporations owning all social media and communications venues? I believe that after the revolution they would have certainly permitted social media owned by corporations like the Hudson’s Bay Company or East India Company, yet they would have considered independent free speech including hate speech (which should be subjective matter of opinion) vital for democracy and therefore would have established a government operated public social media for citizens to use as a free, necessary defense against British Corporate power.

Maybe the Department of Defense should operate a social media site for American citizens that isn’t flimsy and won’t disappear the first time anyone writes something like stop the queer government or criticizes the lack of revenue sharing by corporate owned blogs. American defense asks of its servants they be sworn in to defend against enemies foreign and domestic. The oath isn’t to defend against foreign enemies and lay down for domestic enemies or to roll over for global corporations. Domestic enemies of the past were fairly plain and overt unlike today. Corporate and sedulous cults may readily take over the government, pass laws limiting free speech and put a muzzle on democracy in order to accomplish not only particular social class hegemony, but to channel the concentration of wealth as well. Adequate defense requires vigilance against KGB-Tass synthetic public broadcasting media and other agencies of socialization such as social media. Government operated channels with completely free, stable public social media outlets for the use of citizens might be necessary in order for true opinion to be found.

On One World Government

 A world government would have a Federal Reserve bank issuing e-dollar loans at zero interest to 1% of the people who could then e-mint 9x more dollars for each e-dollar on deposit. In other words they would have unlimited wealth and concentrate power globally buying up everything for plutocracy. The plutocrats would de facto partner with Chinese Communists and tech surveillance would become ubiquitous. The masses could have mass media entertainment and thought control being programmed culturally. That would be one form of world government.

Other forms would likely be some sort of authoritarian dictatorship. Without nations for firewalls against political monopoly power would concentrate just as wealth concentrates.
