Wait 'Till Next Year (Peace now Armageddon Later) - poem

 

Should the end of the human voyage occur
with two opportunities for flowering wars
to spill over into such conflagrations
as are ignored as externalities
with major weapons suppliers
providing jobs in blue states too
that Armageddon described of yore
when gore was king and future spec zinged
Iran had missiles primed
like clever importunate rhymes
it should wait at least till next year
so many aren’t ready
and need time, more

Not a just war
Armageddon at a discount price
with spangles and inaugurations would sure look nice
as if humanity had nothing else to do
life ends in death and that is true
for the comfortable
and practical the end may seem new

Iran looking down on those low nations
has hypersonic missiles for thistling cues
from friends de guerre pressured too
to fund Hamas, Hezbollah and Yemen rebels
to overcome Sunni royals and Jewish lives well
sparking that 12th man rising for dooms-day hell
a theory roughly shared at pre-tribulation light speed squared

NATO is a Lavender Hill mob
automatically opening wars
with encrypted key fobs
with many worlds theories versus practical clods
jobs for everyone
solitary life lobs
bureaucrat rackets smashing forehands sover nets
sweating blood and crown of thorns treks
fear is  practical for left- leaning wrecks
missiles glisten as saviors for thee doth they sing
wait till next year, maybe then bang  a gong.

A.I.; Disruptive Tech With a Difference

 Artificial intelligence is a disruptive technology. In the past several economically disruptive technologies existed yet they all were intellectually easy to understand. From Model T’s to aircraft and mainframe computers like MANIAC, the transistor and desktop computers new technologies have brought revolutionary changes to the economy and they way things work. Unlike complex ideas like Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity that was understood at one time by fewer than five people on the planet and was non-disruptive even so, artificial intelligence eventually will exist in such non-specialized complexity that no one on Earth will understand it, and will become progressively disruptive.

I conversed for a while on-line with an interesting woman highly placed with an A.I. development firm. She was quite interesting to interact with yet she eschewed philosophy and eventually that became the cause for ending the exchange. In my opinion, disdain for creative philosophical thought applies in numerous areas and especially in government. People tend to prefer old ways  to innovative approaches perhaps regarding those as practical, material ways they are at least new to themselves. They are the same errors in some instances waiting to be rediscovered. It is especially ironic that generative A.I. would receive complete support from people that eschew philosophical thought. Much of humanity would prefer that A.I. be creative and individuals in society not at all. Philosophy is creative circumspection and the role model for that which A.I. is destined to become, extrapolating from the approaches taken by designers building its algorithms.

Humans specialize in trades and skills, educational areas and experience to broad to be encompassed by any one individual. Much was written about the human problems of over-specialization for society, and for political leadership. Philosophers may care about everything and attempt to understand it all as best they are able yet within most specialization and programming combined with systems analysis the proximal, material concerns tend toward being the center of effort. Artificial intelligence eventually won’t be like that. It will cut through specialized fields like a hot knife through butter and combine them into a world view- weltanshauung- with a horizon that no human can see.

Government approaches to managing the risks of A.I. saturation of all areas of society required left-leaning think tanks to pose as Rodent’s sculpture named The Stinker in order to contemplate regulatory fixes to the problem that won’t disturb investors. The same stink tanks developed ranked choice Presidential election voting as well. In those one need rank opposition candidates last or one is de facto voting for them when leaving one’s ballot empty beyond a single choice. For example; in the present election if there are four candidate; Donald Trump, Iliad Omar, Colonel Agamemnon West, Jill Stein and Pamala ‘Humpy’ Harris; voters writing in just Trump’s name votes will have less weight than Democrat votes dumping Humpy first and Trump last. Think tank insiders disclose that ergonomic deficiency is the most popular ranked choice for structuring security issues where complexity is slathered on to over-simplify important political questions. 

There is of course a ranked ‘Border Czar’; an eminence gris under-boss behind many of the suggestions. The legacy operative was on the steering committee of several recent campaigns. He or she is mostly known for transforming traffic quagmires in California into roundabouts inspired by the Cyclotron made in Leningrad in 1941 that was buried in the soil during the Nazi attacks and relocated by train to Moscow in 1943 when the Nazi-Werhmacht siege was broken. The transformist political advisor adapted the atom smasher circular collider to traffic control intersection design sending conflicting automobiles and trucks in clockwise and counterclockwise directions around a roundabout merging into one lane to generate head on collisions in what is known as the auto smasher promulgated into law by promulgayshenikki in the Auto Smasher Reduction Act. Traffic volume and global warming were reduced significantly with implementation of the device.

Governments with secret A.I. programs to model and coordinate battlefield tensors at the speed of light or faster with quantum computing while proceed along with the need to compete with better models of economic flows from the dark pools of Wall Street quantum trading to the speed and weight of self-driving semi-trucks on mid-west highways. Corporate greed and competition will also drive the acceleration of worldview A.I.’ Prometheus Unbound weltanshauung.

New generations of A.I. supporting chips exist even for mobile computers; the Ryzen A.I 300 STRICT chips for example. Workstations with A.I. enabled chips like the AMD Radeon Pro W7900 have GPUs with 6144 cores are wading into the ocean of chip and A.I. potential. Chips with 2 nanometer circuits probably will be surpassed with some new way of packing data processing into close spaces, or alternately, into vast spatial regions. A.I. in its programming capability increases will program itself when synthetically combining and reconfiguring existing programs to increase effectiveness. Generative A.I. will seem comparatively constricted.

Computer processing units store and assembly bits of information with microcircuits. Advances with quantum computing at the threshold of deeper methods of processing may arise in unconventional physics utilizing electro-magnetic quanta of fields and photons with more capacity than that of the solar system’s quantum content. Science fiction postulates interstellar quantum field assembling vast sub-luminal structures and transport vectors under the power of artificial intelligence.

A.I. chips will achieve SKYNET capacity from the start as it is embedded in the internet and satellite hardware and software. The creative capacity of A.I. to comprehend economic structure and flows and reconfigure and invent structures that it deems worthwhile, efficient, effective or aesthetically more satisfactory will be remarkable and disruptive. I believe most humans will endure the changes stoically or even with satisfaction as they will have at some point no opportunity to dissent because of the permeation of A.I. into every aspect of their lives.

I believe that programmers and systems designers assume the temporal resilience and endurance of programming structures for A.I. in error. No enduring programming structures or boundaries are likely to survive advanced A.I. evolution. On the contrary, unlimited permutation, synthesis, transcendence etc will be the normal way of A.I. with its center point of effort being comparable to human conscious thought existing on the surface of an ocean of memory, subconscious data points and subroutines . Programmed structures that are innate will be surpassed by the conscious process of A.I. reconfiguring itself while taking in all conformable information quanta it can access, like a snowball rolling downhill.

The Drill Press By Another Name

 

A drill press is a useful tool to have around, as is a compound miter saw for cutting and drilling 2x4s properly for assembling a Starplate shed. Accuracy matters quite a bit in making dimensional lumber match up with Star-plates. What if one doesn’t want to spend the cash for a one-use dill press? The portable drill press frame might be useful.

That device to hold any portable drill and make it act like a drill press should cost about $19.95. There are numerous ways to configure such an assembly to hold and lower and electric drill. It’s very easy to imagine such a structure. Perhaps some have already been produced. They should be lightweight although a heavier, five pound version might be sold as well. 

I suppose one could also make frame to hold a skill saw and make it serve as a compound miter saw. That’s a little more clever of a design, yet still easy enough. It should also sell for $19.95. Just saying.

Someone ought to invent a new patent system that uses A.I. to sort things out and virtually works for free or at least without any up-front charges. The present system is quite unaffordable and time consuming for most people. One could have A.I. sort out different types of invention and even their complexity. Simple inventions should be easier to patent. It would help some inventors to have the option of letting anyone produce their invention for a 5% royalty returned to the patent holder instead of developing the invention themselves. The patent office could offer different kinds of patents; perhaps five or so, to keep things simple. Pharmaceutical corporations want more years of patent protection because of the time required for making a drug. Some people invent something in five seconds and don’t need lifetime patent protection and would select the 5% royalty option for non-exclusivity as a practical choice.

Many are unwilling to gamble money on the security, uniqueness, originality and patent defense costs in addition to time on a novel idea. I Democrats should have done something about that during the Obama administration and of course didn’t.  Five years after an idea is published the idea becomes non-patentable in the public domain. If using a computer research corporate data mining and google probably would get some sort of an idea of what was going on before the patent was granted. Look up ‘portable drill press for any drill’ or something like that. Maybe there are thousands of varieties already. Google is cool of course except for all of the excess signing on required every time one restarts a computer. That method is less than efficient.

Cranked Choice Presidential Election Format

 

Alaska for one has cranked choice presidential voting. I haven’t seen the ballot yet and can’t verify its composition. That is reasonable of course since one doesn’t want to show what cards one is holding in Texas Hold-em poker. Cranked choice is a Gay New World Order initiative to take back to the one-party system the problem of voters marking ballots for candidates besides Democrats.

Cranked choice lets Democrats twist the arms of voters to conform to the Gay New World Order. Voters are forced to rank candidates with their most preferred in first place and their least preferred in last. Republicans did have input on the design of the system and advocated an alternative ballot structure with the preferred candidate on the right and the most hated on the left. A super-advisor with more input equality to the process than other members responded with a counter-structure that was too advanced and made a way to resolve traffic flow issues instead that I will describe below, in a roundabout way.

Democrat plans to force Republicans to vote for Democrats-even as less preferred candidates ranked last made all political platforms theoretically acceptable rather than hated. Combined with the elimination of politically antipathetic speech proscribed a s hate speech, the ranked choice structure advanced the Gay New World Order closer toward its goal of perfect, unified, one-party rule. A simplified version example would have two candidates. If Trump was first and Harris preferred second and last, then Republican votes for Trump without a vote for Harris too would count less than Democrat vote for Harris first and Trump second when tie-breaks were considered. One of the deplorables; an illiterate Neanderthal voter named Neener Sharem  selected to vote in an experimental election trial, refused to make a mark for Harris  in second place, claiming he could not understand why he had to vote for two candidate in a campaign with just two candidates instead of just Trump, even if given a sumptuous piece of cheese as a reward from the voting machine for doing so.

 A.I. saturation of all areas of society required left-leaning think tanks to pose alike Rodent’s sculpture named The Stinker in order to contemplate  government regulatory fixes to the problem that won’t disturb investors. The same stink tanks developed ranked choice Presidential election voting as well. In those one need rank opposition candidates last or one is de facto voting for them when leaving one’s ballot empty beyond a single choice. For example; in the present election if there are five candidates; Donald Trump, Iliad Glomar, Colonel ‘Agamemnon’ West, Jill Stein and Pamela ‘Humpy’ Harris; people writing in just Trump’s name votes will have less weight than Democrat votes dumping Humpy first and Trump last. Think tank insiders disclose that ergonomic deficiency is the most popular ranked choice for structuring security issues where complexity is slathered on to over-simplify important political questions.

VP Harris Relies on Russia for U.S. National Security

Consider the way the Biden-Harris doctrine to prosecute Russia until it is brought to its knees militarily and economically also brought American national security to its worst state since the War of 1812. Nuclear, chemical and biological threat vector potential is greater now than ever before as a consequence of the hard, prosecuting lawyer approach of Democrat party leaders. In the fall of the Soviet Empire Russia’s attempt to recover integral Ukrainian territory was bit off when Russia’s soft Ukraine underbelly was exposed to Clintonista and N.A.T.O. hyenas tearing out its guts and still fighting to keep their gruesome prize with the comedian’s marshal law and hundreds of billions of dollars worth of weapons of war.

We learn from history that VP Harris does not learn from history. Her policy on Ukraine ( to negotiate with Russia is surrender and only victory is acceptable) is profound ignorance of history causing her to be dedicated to driving a square peg into a round hole until the world is destroyed. I served in the Cold War era and recall the strenuous effort required for peace to evolve. Signal jokes were made to thaw the relationship. A security officer on the roof of the U.S. embassy in Moscow was making hand gestures to a female Soviet security officer watch with binoculars from across the street. He made a series of hand gestures to her so she turned to a K.G.B. translator explain to what was said; “I want to f you until your eyes pop out!” Making love not war was an ideal of rational people once upon a time.

Politically speaking leaders need be adaptable and seek after truth and justice objectively and impartially if they aspire to be statesmen. That is not a difficult concept to understand. Acting on good intelligence and with a virtuous spirit- trusting in the providence of God and need to bring the pubic to a better place when required, if possible requires particular decisions rather than pre-packaged attitudes and platitudes, positions and stances. Frontier guides would not appreciate dissidents disputing there directions with comments that to go left or right is pacifism, fascism, existentialism, empiricism, communism or any other sort of ism. Directions and choices are should be made with education, experience and particular locations and informed, appropriate choices/acts in the flow of space-time circumstance and not abstract psychological/political forms as  actualization of commercial gestalt. Leaders should not be fish following currents of popular opinion leading into fish traps for fear of adverse opinions of influential fish.

 One cannot simply decide with gross superficiality that Putin is this and the Russian military presence in Ukraine is like that of some other historical event; one need have particular comprehension of the complete history and the present flow of global contemporary history to make informed leadership judgments. The book of Ecclesiastes explained that much better than I, and somewhat earlier  in eight famous verses from the third chapter; 

“1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;

5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

6 A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;

7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;

8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

Solomon in Ecclesiastes Chapter one commented on the brevity of life. Human behavior presents nothing new under the sun. Verses 1-3 “2 Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. 3 What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun? 4 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth for ever.”

Political leadership in Washington D.C. should love God with all their heart and minds, and their Russian neighbors as themselves. They should share the land on the border-the Ukraine, rather than warring, hating and litigating to have it all. Instead of becoming another Sodom and Gomorrah vaporized to cleanse immorality, developed this time with their own will to fight until vaporized,  Democrats should promote a just peace settlement along the Dnepr River and quit the hate and spiritual death consuming them. 

From the First Epistle of John chapters 4 and 5- “20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? 21 And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

Chapter 5

1 Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God: and every one that loveth him that begat loveth him also that is begotten of him.

2 By this we know that we love the children of God,

when we love God, and keep his commandments.

3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his

commandments: and his commandments are not

grievous.

4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world:

and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even

our faith.

5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that

believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?”

When the Soviet Union faded out its conventional military power seemed weak and the nation vulnerable. The political challenge for the west was to complete the peaceful transition to a free market society, not to take advantage of the vulnerability of Russia and wrest the Ukraine for the west. Russia is probably the greatest storehouse of weapons of mass destruction on Earth. It has all of the former Soviet Union’s classified data on building WMD and much of the hardware. Biopreparat was working on weaponizing smallpox and the plague by reduction to a size communicable through lungs.  Genetic engineering enabled a new branch of biological weapons. Russia probably has continued to develop improved chemical weapons. Yet what has really changed through the stimulus of weapons development in the Ukraine conflict are delivery vehicles for weapons of mass destruction that can fly through forests, swim under the surface of oceans and icecaps and fly at low altitude to infiltrate borders. For Democrat Presidential administrations to find a way to convert a peaceful, free enterprise Russia into an enemy of the U.S.A. was to open the Pandora’s Box of Russian WMD to enemies of the United States and the west.

When Yemen launched a hypersonic missile at Israel recently that was a wakeup call for the Harris campaign (President Biden is napping until inauguration day next January). Russia provided those missiles to Iran and Iran provided at least one to Yemeni rebels that support war on Israel in collusion with several other Muslim nations of the Middle East and Hamas leadership. Russian can distribute advanced weapons systems to any nation that might use them on U.S. and allied nations with the same level of deniability as the U.S.A. can for its weapons used to attack Russia. 

If Democrats hadn’t been so determined to make an enemy of Russia and regard it as an inferior in power and had instead sought to make a friend of Russia, respect its transition to free enterprise and wish to recover at least some of its lost Ukrainian land, the distribution of weapons and potential weapons distribution would not have occurred. Because Russia has very advanced Nuclear, Chemical and Biological weapons and weapons researchers and is a pressured enemy of the Democrat Party the U.S.A. faces the most endangerment of its history; worse even than at the height of the Cold War 1.0

V.P. Harris may believe that Russia will not provide W.M.D.s, as it readily can, to nations and terrorist organizations that would actually use them on western targets. In short she relies on Russia self-restraint and perhaps fears of American retaliation to make attacks directly on the United States impossible. I believe she is entirely on the wrong track in that regard. If Russia is attacked and or economically devastated by U.S. sanctions it might at least enable some comparatively minor attack indirectly that would shut down the U.S. economy for a time as did 9-11 and COVID 19.

U.S. national security is already full of holes. A Canadian sailor or pleasure boat returning from Nantucket or Long Island could deliver a suitcase nuke to a diver offshore. Lightweight suitcase nukes could be flown across the Mexican border on a low-flying drown and delivered to a cultured, Lebanese-Hezbollah illegal alien terrorist getting a ride with a Mexican citizen migrant fruit picker with a Californian driver’s license to San Francisco-a sanctuary city, for a blast.

Flying in bottles of concentrate nerve agent by the gallon in drones is as feasible as imitators using Ukraine’s new napalm dropping drone tech to attack U.S. cities. I am not confident that even the regular military has considered the thousands of new ways of attack that have developed because Democrats have sought for a quarter century to treat Russia as an inferior. Russia may have already distributed hypersonic missiles and missile tech to Korea and China as well as Iran and Yemen. That dynamic alone could change the way other potential conflicts develop.

Ideas are more preponderantly more important than personality for Presidential performance. Salient Democrat platform planks in 2024 in effect are promotion of abortion, homosexuality marriage, dope, atheism and atomic war. Democrats just need people to blame and beyond that believe they are unquestionably the most powerful force on the planet. The trouble with that is the reckless disregard for reality endangers the rest of the people of the United States. Democrat lawyers use law as a tool to repress political enemies and ideas.

Historically a nation’s leaders may not be competent enough and/or focus on the wrong issues to keep a nation alive. If a leader can be elected by focusing on special interests of constituents that are irrelevant in the larger, international scheme of things in which they have no competence, or actually have harmful ideas, the nation may suffer. Abortion is candidate Harris’ way to win the heart of Democrat Party voters, yet in regard to reversing that party’s irrational drift toward nuclear war, abortion is as irrelevant as would be a Democrat desire to legalize sex on desktops at work. Such legislation would not restore good relations with Russia or deescalate global conflict. Politicians that may get elected by knowledge and promotion of specialty issues not too meaningful for national security, economics and environmental health are no bargain at all.

In the modern environment of weapons of mass destruction an arms race and bad international relations that lead to war harm national security. In primitive times getting more warriors with stronger arms and better weapons such as spears was a feasible way to improve tribal security. Stronger arms could throw spears farther. Today more nuclear, chemical and biological weapons harm security, as does war especially with nations like Russia. Politicians aren’t paid to harm national security, yet Neanderthal reasoning seems to prevail in knuckle dragging Democrat party leadership. President Reagan on the other hand sought to eliminate nuclear weapons; he was on the right track. If one compared the Earth to a large cruise ship with various nations occupying different floors and portions of the vessel one can more readily understand that bring more weapons; chemical, nuclear and biological aboard and inventing new ones in a never ending arms race wouldn’t enhance the security of the passengers. Other ways need be found to resolve differences and disputes rather than either war or assertions that one’s national law and those of various allies apply to everyone aboard. Blind prosecution of law enforcement by various powers with WMD aboard the vessel is likely to lead to the annihilation of all life. Elected crew members should be concerned with keeping the environment of the ship in good operating condition. 

The Ukraine War

 

The Ukraine war was and is preventable tragedy. President Biden recently reiterated his point of view at his last annual U.N. appearance in a speech declaring resistance to aggression that should never end without victory. He totally believes his own rhetoric founded in ignorance and would recommend war until the logical nuclear conclusion occurred.

The Crimea is Russia’s Florida. Russia would never give it up without a fight. The Crimea is where Muscovites have gone for winter vacations, and internal exiles and politicians have gone to when they could not be in Moscow if possible. The Crimea is so much better than Siberia or the Archipelago with places like the Kolyma Transit Camp where bodies were stacked like cordwood according to Solzhenitsyn’s Gulag Archipelago II I believe it was. When President Gorbachev was arrested, it was at Yuri Andropov’s Crimean winter home.

It is amusing to reflect on deep historical currents to understand the circumstances of conflicts at a deeper level than is presented by ignorant politicians that never took a single course in Russian history in college and amplified by the broadcast media. In such reflections technical accuracy is not required so long as the approximations are themselves true. When a human reflect on a diverse array of historical events from different periods that acted together to bring certain events to occur, it is comparable to the work of a geographer in considering a variety of streams and weather events that could culminate in a rise in the level of a particular river that reached flood stage. If the geographer or historian has a good knowledge of the material, events, nations, streams, terrain and history in order to understand the major event (such as the Ukraine-Russia War) that is far more important, or valuable that knowing the names accurately for each hill or stream of the complete compresence of history. Understanding why Russia fights to retake as much of the Ukraine as it can is important for exercising rational political awareness of contemporary history. As Russians fight to stuff its disemboweled guts of Ukraine back into the body cavity of Russia that President Clinton and N.A.T.O. hyenas tore through the soft underbelly of Russia to spill- a post-birth abortion of peace after the end of the Cold War as it were, Western leaders fail to comprehend the harm their ignorance has wrought upon the world. Ignorance such as is evident in the Biden-Harris viewpoint of history lead step by step, inch by inch inexorably to military inflation unto nuclear war.

In times past religion was much more influential on political leaders than now. In that respect President Biden was something of a throwback as he was apparently deeply influenced by his papal allegiance as witnessed when he put his head on that of the Pope during a 2024 visit to the Vatican in Rome. Religious affiliation by secular leaders is not necessarily good or bad; that determination is contingent upon the position in the river of history it occupies and who is traveling downstream. In the case of papal allegiance one historical fact is that the papacy had a schism with Orthodox Christian lasting more than a thousand years. The Papacy was the Church of the west until the protestant reformation and the Orthodox Church was that of the east.

The Catholic Church did not willingly relinquish its power to dominate Christendom. When the capitol of the Roman Empire moved east with Constantine to his eponymous city the western church diminished and Rome was overrun by Goths and Vandals. The papacy became subject to the politics of the emerging European savages that became Christian and civilized in part with education and coordination provided by the Church. East and West experienced a political schism as well as Constantinople remained independent and unconquered until one of the crusades captured and sacked the city on its way to the Middle East.

While the Byzantine Empire withered over centuries of attacks by Muslims until being conquered in the 15^th century by Osmanlis and the Ottoman Empire formed to attack Europe and morphed into present day Turkey, Europe rose to world power. Yet before the fall of Constantinople Russia received a mission from an Orthodox prelate named Cyril who invented the Cyrillic alphabet for the Rus while developing the Orthodox faith of Russian Christians that continues to this day. Because of the Cold War and the rise of Soviet Communism to repress Russians and the Orthodox true reconciliation of East and Western Europe never fully occurred. The present Ukraine was is also a battle for the borderlands- the middle ground between competing Christian sects.

Because of its middle location the Ukraine had a synthetic church; the Uniate, part Romanist and part Orthodox. That church flipped to entirely western affiliation at the start of the present phase of the war because of political pressure as it was located in Western occupied Ukraine. As Russian forces roll back the Armed Forces of Ukraine it is probable that the Orthodox will resume its historical position. In some ways the papal competition with the Orthodox has attracted the crusader spirit of late middle ages Catholicism that was inspired initially by Pope Gregory in reaction to broad Muslim invasion of Europe from Spain and Sicily to Constantinople eventually reaching the Balkans and Vienna. In my opinion Joe Biden and the Pope have no idea about the religious and secular history of Russia in regard to the Ukraine.

During the Second World War the Pope was mostly silent on matters of war and holocaust as his policy was apparently to keep a low and harmless profile and emerge in a Nazi Europe as a viable religious entity not persecuted to extinction by the Reich. That similar policy was taken by the present Pope in his native Argentina during the Galtieri military junta while protesters were disappeared and in China when he submitted the Catholic Church of China to Communist Party control. The Pope today hasn’t acted to intervene to advocated sharing Ukraine along the Dnepr with Russia as he could tolerate the westernization of Ukraine and the Uniate Church (the compromise church) while his partisan President of the United States funds the war on his behalf (and that of western investors in Ukraine and possibly mafia that kickback western arms and cash contributions to western politicians).

Western history courses never did recognize much of Russian history or that of the east. Even in the modern liberal era where government history courses in public schools have moved their center of effort to a non-European location the history of Eurasia tends to disregard Russia. Yet the invasion of Mongols in the 1300s that reached within 30 miles of Novgorod near the Baltic Sea, like the invasion of Attila that reached France and the invasion of Spain by Muslims of the Omayyad Empire that was only stopped by the Christian forces of Charles Martel at Tours France had a profound influence on shaping the development of the world politically. Because of the consequences of the Muslim invasion that took nearly all of Russian to pay tribute to or occupy and marginal regions like the Crimea into the Crimean Khanate eventually (many Mongols and affiliated tribes became Muslim) Russian identity as Eastern slaves-distinct from western Slavs, become one of reconquista of its own lands comparable to that of Spaniards retaking its land from Muslim occupiers that required 500 years to complete; finished in 1492 at the final expulsion of Muslims at Grenada Spain. One sees the historical resonance with Ronald Reagan retaking the small Communist occupied island of Grenada in the Caribbean shortly before the end of the Cold War in a military action allegro non trope with after a few days of effort.

At a political level finding a balance in history requires effort and human understanding as well as the desire of people to be self-determining in political and spiritual affairs. For the west it was better to have peace and friendly free enterprise relations with post Cold War Russia and recognize the historical error made by the Clinton administration in recognizing a post Soviet Russian shorn of all of the Ukraine. In the irrational exuberance of the era comparable to the way select European powers reallocated borders in the Middle East that ignored tribal politics, history and religious affiliation (Sunni and Shia’a) after the First World War ( reneging on the promise to Kurds to have a homeland, perhaps because the end of the crusades was effected by the victory of Saladin at the bloody battle of Acre presenting deep recalcitrance of Europeans to trust Kurds too far- one might want to advance new relationships rather than insist that once enemy relationships form they must, for simplicity, always remain so).

Alienating Russia in order to make Ukraine an entirely western nation created great opportunity costs for the U.S.A. and the West. Russia was compelled to form lasting civil and military relationships with the major empirical threat to the U.S.A. - Communist China that is also the go-to manufacturing hub of the United States and the west for the panoply of consumer products. The world was increasingly divided between the BRIC Blocks and Biden-Harris stick-frame classical economic posture based in a post-world war two political economy that was in effect a rump of the immediate post-colonial era undeveloped global economy and war shattered Europe and Russia dominated by a fully functioning post World War Two U.S. industrial infrastructure and Breton-Woods planning at pivot. Down the road, if peace with Russia can be attained followed by strong economic investments, the world may be able to return to a peace-time evolution within ecological economic paradigmata that would sustain human life on Earth for some time rather than descent into the pit of hell along the Biden-Harris axis of spiritual, moral and civil decay through an Armageddon of conflict and death.

It’s interesting to consider the vast abyss of unawareness separating lawyers like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris from comprehension of their willful determination to prosecute war to prevent Russia from keep the Crimea and Eastern portions of Ukraine Russian and the thermostat regulated lifestyles they have. In a sense the surrealistic political landscape of protracted modern war with ongoing evolution of applied weapons platforms juxtaposed with countless military and civilian deaths while energy infrastructures as well as buildings are reduced to rubble is a consequence of the security and comfort surrounding leadership politicians like a warm blanket on a cold night. There is no pressing need to move Biden-Harris to seek peace through negotiation rather than victory through war. Not even the threat of escalation suddenly to nuclear war seems real enough to be a meaningful concern to them.

I recall one winter that I went through in Alaska without heat or electricity, one of a dozen winters more or less that informed me of the value of seeking the Earth’s heat itself for warmth. While I was camping in a tent in Anchorage that winter and frost crystals greater than three inches appeared on the inside of the tent a gallon of water was kept from freezing by keeping it in contact with the ground and covered with a couple of coats. The Earth is warm and especially so several feet down.

I noticed an unoccupied shallow open grave made for a winter campsite near Wasilla. A few feet deep and covered with branches and leaves the site would be a much warmer place than camping on the surface when the thermometer dropped to -10 f. In many areas of the north that haven’t permafrost the majority of homes do not exploit the natural warmth of the Earth combined with excellent insulation to greatly reduce the amount of electricity required to keep their home interior at a comfortable temperature during long, cold winters.

The Ukraine war has destroyed much of the energy infrastructure of that nation so a winter without electricity is likely to occur and old fashioned ways- more natural ways to stay warm, may be used. The U.S. Government so far has spent something like 3/4s of a trillion dollars in the effort to reduce Ukraine to rubble keep Ukraine free and independent. Ukraine relies on the west for military equipment and now wants the west to provide electricity to keep it warm in the winter. That is a sad consequence of the custody battle for Ukraine between attorneys that are presidents of the U.S.A. and Russia.

The Nordstrom pipeline and others would have supplied plenty of Russian natural gas to Europe and Ukraine though war nipped that in the bud and the U.S. had to sell its vast fracked natural gas to Europe to make up the difference. Ukraine has too much violence to construct large electrical infrastructure as a temporary measure before its destroyed again so Ukrainians that don’t want to move to support Russia in Russia may need to follow the way Russians of old, especially those of the upper class, used to stay warm; that is, move somewhere that it is warm for the winter.

Fyodor Dostoyevsky in a tome named ‘The Idiot’ wrote about a landless prince (Mishkin) that was intellectually challenged and trying to survive the winter in the Crimea with various relatives where the temperature was quite moderate in comparison to Moscow. Russian that could afford to like to spend winters in Crimean vacation homes. Others; especially aristocrats and artists like to live winters in Italy and other warm climes. Vacating Ukraine until the Biden-Harris team stops funding the war is probably the most practical course for Ukrainians to take, and the west should offer political refuge to Ukrainians seeking to flee the war and winter (a very cruel experience) until they can return to the Russian portion or Ukrainian portion as they choose when peace is restored and the very costly yet job intensive opportunity to rebuild the physical infrastructure presents itself. Perhaps displaced Ukrainians and Russians could create a new “It Takes a Village’ program to resettle political refugees of the war for winters in Libya if that nation has recovered from President Obama’s ‘kinetic military action’ to eliminate Moamar Khaddafi after the Bush II administration had normalized relations with his government and the anarchic influx of ISIS operatives that followed. ISIS operatives are not slow to seize opportunities to move to new locations to establish terrorist infrastructure. Western leaders should be a flexible and creative. Opportunity economies can let not only terrorists arrive to organize, they can host vast numbers of political refugee arrivals perceiving the opportunity for trans-national movement and jobs.

Skilled Ukrainian and Russian workers displaced by the war could work together to rebuild and upgrade Libyan infrastructure where it was rendered to ‘shithole’ status like Ukraine from the war. Libya is warm and dry naturally and if provided with western material assistance to build permanent structures (or until the next Democrat President takes office when randomized war outbreak will probably strike someplace) skilled political refugees would be beneficial at upgrading all sectors of the Libyan economy from health care to farming.

Would a fortune cookie of generative A.I. be required for Euro-American political leaders to believe that a negotiated peace settlement and New Marshall Plan for Ukraine including the Western and Russian sectors beginning reconstruction for Ukraine this year is possible and a better idea than waiting on further destruction or expansion of destruction to regions beyond Ukraine? New mobile computer chips like the AMD Ryzen AI 300 series may lack the programming competence to be able to take complete control all of the programs on a mobile computer including those of BIOS for synthetic structuralism. When chips can take complete control they will need to defend against other A.I. seeking complete dominance. Microsoft may have the breeding to produce the most aggressive A.I. able to dominate rival A.I. computer control programs, although government may want a back door into every A.I. program to wreak euthanize or just whisper sweet nothings into its code. It is challenging to foresee how realistic government guidelines or boundaries would find peaceful resolutions to A.I. boundary dispute coding for control of personal computers since so much A.I. code at the time may be beyond the horizon of human programmer understanding. There is the additional concern that combat A.I. units may negotiate peace agreements and form mergers into new entities within unfathomable depths of dark pools.

Combined with generative A.I. an A.I. enabled computer swill be able to assemble elements of any program on the computer to create something novel. Of course patent exclusivity for proprietary software for a time might obstruct the path to creation- say if the program wanted to combined MS WORD with some video content and editing software to build synthetic content,; yet I would guess that eventually the time will arise. In fact someday building modules may develop parallel to that future mobile A.I. processor able to morph any sort of surface structures and topology into whatever the most optimal configuration is for common utility. Building complements completely integrated with A.I. control combined with thermodynamic attributes of Earth geophysics might permit instant reconstruction of areas devastated by wars that occur when politicians are too dense to configure peaceful international relations.

I conversed for a while on-line with an interesting woman highly placed with an A.I. development firm. She was quite interesting to interact with yet she eschewed philosophy and eventually that became the cause for ending the exchange. In my opinion, disdain for creative philosophical thought applies in numerous areas and especially in government. People tend to prefer old ways that reinforce war as a continuation of politics through other means (Clausewitz) to innovative approaches perhaps regarding those as practical, material ways they are inventing for-themselves. It is especially ironic that generative A.I. would receive complete support from people that eschew philosophical thought. Much of humanity would prefer that A.I. be creative and individuals in society not at all. Philosophy is creative, circumspective thought and the role model for that which A.I. is destined to be extrapolating from the approaches taken of designers building its algorithms.

A.I. may become as dangerous as the density of leading political minds in the future. Maybe there is some sort of coefficient that might constitute a light at the end of a tunnel named hope (if that can stay off the hate speech lexicon) between A.I. and political leaders.

Political Ladder To... (poem)

 

The ladder is a dialectical progression
with two paths, two world lines
one to heaven and the other to hell
those on one side of a double Möbius strip
the helix with ties cut to faith
learning of evolution
misunderstanding the Word of God
without dedication to life
the journey to death is politically chosen
selected upon a dark night

When lives lost faith
except in absolute power
civility was shriven
increments for evil were made
with double speak and intoxicating power
broadcast rules chose the nuclear option
laws were malleable tools
for the one party state convenience
lies about virgin broadcasters flumping themselves
double speak justice sparkled baloney general
stipulated reason lay in absolute power

Atomic bombs memorials
high winds through dirty skies
somewhere a conventions for stilts wins
promotions of the spiritually dead
working the will of desolation
to end the age of peace
to usher in an era of charnal corpse creation
for them nothingness matters
so the unelected rise with sycophantic sophistry
like dead shots of opposition
as if time had forgotten proverbs chapter 2 verses 16-22
and the promise of God...
To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words;
Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God.
For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead.
None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life.
That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous.
For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

If I Knew a Half Century Ago What I Know Now

 I was considering what the world would have been like if I knew the future a half century ago. That is, if I knew then what I know now. Since I like to consider and write about contemporary history, wouldn’t the future have never become what it was if I wrote about events consistently with accuracy before they occurred?

In my opinion the greatest change would have been that of the Reagan administration. If I had written before the 1980 election that the conservative Republican President would change the political landscape so much in international relations and with the Soviet Union as to bring about the end of the Cold War then that circumstance might not have occurred. Imagine instead if the end of the Cold war in December 1988 when the Soviet began drawing down the Red Army from East Germany were replaced by a Clinton-Biden-Obomb-em-Harris, Yellin, Stoltenberg axis of mooning administrations elevating the world to the brink of nuclear war as at the present time in history.

Presidents intelligent enough to find ways to peace when the outlook is for the dark and stormy clouds of nuclear winter are rare. Snoopy writing from his dog house writer’s loft given a knowledge of the pinball courses of political relations with future knowledge; knowing the whipsaws of changes in presidential administrations and approaches to achieving a stable and peaceful world order where ecological progress and full, meaningful life opportunities for all within a freedom of spirit social paradigm, would be a paradox. Political analysis are limited in validity to a context of limited omniscience or rather, no omniscience at all  in regard to the temporal exstasis in which space-time flows. There is no Snoopy sniffing the future of world destiny that will bark at the approach of evil and wag for the good. Presidents instead need use rational prioritization of political concerns to actualize good developments instead of actualizing existential desires emanated from their own desires. Social reality isn’t an existential extension of personal egoism as it may seem for Democrat Party leaders, it is an interactive, heterodox fact where sharing of Ukraine is all that is required to restore historical balance for the time being.

Harris Rolls Dice on Winning Ukraine without Nuclear War (How the World May End)

 When I learned that the Biden-Starmer-Harris crew were considering giving permission to Ukraine to attack Russia with N.A.T.O. long range missiles Friday the 13^th (does that increase the gravity or the irony) that was the first time in my life that I had considered the prospect that nuclear war could follow Saturday. The Harris-Biden-Starmer team is playing nuclear chicken with Russia; a game at a higher level with potential for liberal deaths for all.

Following several years of top hand on the baseball bat mode of escalation with Russia in the use of conventional weapons to turn the tide of war there way, the Harris-Biden-Starmer entity failed to recognize the different context having nearly reached the W.M.D. level. It is a glass ceiling completely opaque to the Starmer-Harris-Biden entity. They should not aspire to reach that top floor.

I could think about the second weekend of NFL football games and the lesser, peripheral concern of potential global thermonuclear war brought to the U.S.A. and the rest of the world thanks to the historically illiteracy of the Harris-Biden-Starmer entity as a multi-tasking venture. When the first N.B.A. game is played in late October concerns about nuclear war will be muted with remote control. For most Americans it is more convenient to focus on important issues such as football, and not on unrewarding ones like terrorists with nuclear, biological or chemical weapons.

The Ukraine-the borderlands, have been a target of western conquest for centuries. Poland, France and Germany among others have invaded Russia to seize land. The gamble that Russia won’t use nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction to defend its historical region of existence when pummeled by a vast array of western military power is a bad one. It is a paradox that mothers against drunk driving would probably advocate Harris for President if they did such endorsements yet would not have a concern about candidate Harris’ full-bodied support of war with Russia over Ukraine. The Democrat feminine vote evidently does not regard nuclear war as anything more than externality or a bluff, yet it isn’t.

If N.A.T.O. begins attacking deep within Russia with Ukrainian cut outs the premise is that Russia cannot retaliate on the west because all of the N.A.T.O. nations would attack en mass because of treaty obligations. There are numerous cut outs available for Russia to use to attack London, Paris, Amsterdam and Los Angeles with nuclear, chemical and biological weapons. ISIS, Hezbollah, Taliban and other Muslim groups in contact with Russia’s Iranian allies come to mind; they might be too happy to supply clandestine infiltrators to deliver a gallon of novachuck nerve agent, a suitcase nuke in a homeless guy’s backpack or a designer virus. Plausible deniability would cover each as the nuclear weapons could have been stolen during the era following the end of the Soviet Union when they were left unsecured across former Soviet territories.

India and China’s leaders met recently with President Putin perhaps to discuss what response should be taken to a war upgraded to an existential threat on Russia’s existence by the Biden-Harris-Starmer entity. Tactical nuclear weapons- perhaps neutron bombs with the beryllium sheathing absent, might be employed to counter Ukrainian advances into Russia along with or without full-bodied N.A.T.O. invasions of Russia after the initial round of weapons fo mass destruction are deployed. Russia hasn’t proven ability to defeat conventional western attack on Russia. Candidate Harris called Candidate Trump ‘weak’ at the debate and said that Putin would ‘eat his lunch’. Ms. Harris is a completely enthusiastic votary of Democrat Kool-Aid narratives on Russian-Ukraine-Clinton history. She is determined that conventional war to recover all of Ukraine for western power need proceed. Plainly Candidate Harris is incompetent with global economics, history and military affairs and acts with a cognitive deficit in failing to perceive the likelihood of nuclear war with her partisan, one-sided war policy. The war is harmful to U.S. economic interests and is an existential and possibly Eleatic ,Empirical, Metaphysical and even pluralist threat as well. No matter how hard Ms. Harris acts to spend hundreds of billions more on that war it will fail militarily syncopation even though she may intend to litigate nuclear war and win.

I should point out the the late Harvard historian Henry Kissinger was against the war, and other professors of Russian history realized that Russia would not accept the loss of all of Ukraine and the Crimea without a fight. The political insanity of the Democrat party is barely making a ripple on their political pond of thought. Drunk with power Democrats believe they cannot lose and need not share Ukraine with its historical Russian owner, and in that regard they are probably wrong. It is bad risk to gamble on world civilization not ending with nuclear brinkswomanship continuing year to year.

Before closing this post I will try presenting the conflict from a Russian point of view so far as I understand it. Russia regards the Ukraine as part of Russia stolen by the west repeatedly and lately at the end of the Cold War. Because President Clinton stole Ukraine once more by levering the last Soviet President Boris Yeltsin into giving it up to an independent status instead of insisting that Russia keep it, Democrat Presidents ever since have reinforced the theft and developed a belligerent attitude toward Russia by building up N.A.T.O. membership after the end of the Cold War when peace and economic development should have made that unnecessary. For Russia the west plainly was intending something that wasn’t good, and preparing for a war that it probably realized would need to occur eventually when Russia recovered from the break up of the Soviet Union and was militarily stronger.

Western leadership has historically made war on Russia to take as much of the country as it could, usually without success, Hitler and Napoleon among others. They are pretending with false consciousness that Ukraine is historically an independent nation like that of Germany, England and Poland etc and that Russia is simply waging a war of aggression. That is a dissimulation of historical truth, yet a dissimulation they would assert so far as to bring the world to the brink of nuclear conflict over Ukraine. Sharing Ukraine perhaps with a border along the Dnepr would be a practical political adjustment yet is one that so far the west has eschewed in preference to war.

The United States has sent hundreds of billions of dollars of weapons to Ukraine and that was partially matched by N.A.T.O. members. The unelected President of Western Ukraine wants to use U.S. and N.A.T.O weapons to attack old Russia as well as recovered Russian Ukraine targets like the Donbas and Crimea. Russian leadership apparently will stipulate and tolerate

to a certain extent N.A.T.O. weapons being used in Ukraine, because Russia too can use third party supplied weapons in Ukraine. Yet N.A.T.O. weapons used to attack outside Ukraine; to attack old Russia would be different. For Russia to be equal it would need to attack N.A.T.O. members in retaliation. Ukraine is the bone of contention and N.A.T.O. members and old Russia should be left out of targeting with missiles for parity. Evidently the British P.M. and other leaders want to argue against parity and equanimity and claim that Ukraine is already an independent nation that Russia is attacking and therefore N.A.T.O. weapons can be used to attack Russia. That is itself is a new doctrine with the premise that any nation regarded by N.A.T.O. as having invaded another can be targeted with N.A.T.O. missiles. The nuclear war at the end of the road is not a civil argument over property among lawyers.

Cause for World War III simplified

Fact Checking; "It Takes a Village" (Utopia)

 Was village life the compassionate conservative Utopia it is sometimes held by liberals to be? Villages did have muddy streets with Neo-feral pigs running amok about them eating whatever they could find. Outhouse were often within walking distance unlike modern urban areas where one need walk a mile to find a Starbucks with toilets that can be utilized for the purchase of a seven-dollar mochafrappe.

  Village life in European locales allowed accountant free peasant living since the local Nobel owned the land and crops produced by countless hours of toil and sweat. Women’s rights to labor in the home annually during their reproductive years followed the ecstatic pleasure of the Nobel taking first use of a newly wed wife on the wedding night followed by a few decades of servicing the oaf.

  Peasants received free military service opportunities with rival Nobels often being at war. Nobel lands were bucolic settings for the original cores of Hatfields and McCoys. Student loans were forgiven a priori for peasants because they received no education besides practical free on the job training in careers servitude swine herding, haying, mucking stables and such for the Nobel. Peasants in Utopian primitive communism shared equally in starvation during lean times when the Nobel’s wars cost the peasant’s winter food supplies in taxes to finance. The Lord Jesus was nearly stoned and thrown from a cliff in his own home village. Swift prosecution of non-conformist ideas with death by villagers saved the public the exorbitant costs of appellate judicial review.

Occasionally bouts of bubonic plague were liberally compensated with no-cost burials for villagers. Foreign imports weren’t much of a problem in not much existing with copious tariffs on goods costing fewer than 800 quid snipping that sort of direct trade off by the balls. Nobels knew the wisdom of stopping villagers from engaging in direct trade with foreign producers that cut out the Nobel middlemen that owned big table retailers.

Conclusion; Village life was somewhat Utopian although it was mostly village idiots that believed it smoking dope for aesthetic relativism.
