Wuhan Lab Source of Covid 19 Leak Timing Helps President's Anti-China Narrative

 The timing on the leaked federal assessment that Covid 19 originated from a Wuhan China research lab is such that it supports Biden Administration efforts to develop hostility toward China. The Biden administration and Democrat lawyers tend to use every available means to act against their political opponents. Having used up most of its non-nuclear options against Russia it has ramped up its actions toward China. Though Democrats excoriated the Trump administration for suggesting that the Chines lab was the most likely source of the leak it has changed its tune when the Wuhan lab story would support its present objectives.

It is of course possible that Covid 19 did originate in the Wuhan biological research facility, and most likely did, yet nothing has changed since Feb or March 2020 to prove that. What has changed is the Biden administration full scale support for the Ukraine war against Russian forces in the midst of their reconquista of lost Ukrainian real estate. The administration is concerned that China may supply weapons to Russia as it does to Ukraine and would like to form a better world opinion against China with I would think, the hope that China will feel hurt by various nations believing it would allow Covid 19 to escape from one of its many biological research facilities.

Of course millions have perished from Covid 19 and a million more perhaps were injured or killed in Ukraine. Human beings being what they are it was likely that some time some lab someplace would have a serious biological accident. If computers with A.I. handled the deadly pathogens they too would probably have a leaky day or wrong though iterations that led it to believe the leak was the right thing to do.

Politicians find reasons to escalate wars as the right thing to do too- even when they put little work into thinking of alternatives lines of development than protracted war. If you build it they will come applies to other things than building sports stadiums. It applies to biological research facilities and nuclear weapons programs as well. It is then that the possibility of something going wrong some day increase in probability.


Semper Alpha et Omega (the poem)

 

Andy Warhol’s television show
played through the 60s
with mashed pecans following
making pies of interest

  Four and twenty blackbirds baked
in the sky
Francis Gary Powers
wondering why

  J.F.K. was sloshed down
from the grassy knoll
Marsgate Sands gathering
on places hereto fore-thought slow

  Prometheus sword-fighting Epimethius
with cousins on the other side
of pharmaceutical bathroom mirrors
advertising to the insides

  Of time’s temporal bottles
nine to five with automatic throttles
a tsar’s caskets of moonlight amontillado
with splattering hints of biden rhyme

The River Styx is running low
unprecedented levels of dry humoring atmospherics
you know seasons come and go
under a blazing star of fission genetics

The Ferryman has inflated prices
and bankers thank compounding rice
weddings marry first world songs
untroubled by concerns of right or wrong

Shills of illusions the open door
to eternal life and death
obscured once more
aborting births fated breaths

  Roaring twenties on snow bridge cornices
ado about somethings in vain
a lot of Pamplona’d precipices
in talons of networked chains

  With sufficient style for another mile
walking on the sand bridging appearance
a stranger miraged with-himself for-others
until his afterlife was filed.

Wrap up the Ukraine War with Tax Cuts for the Rich

 Tax cuts for the rich will end the Ukraine war.  In my opinion that is a very clever joke. Inevitably the political solution to everything Ametrican is to cut taxes on the rich and raise the ceiling on public debt (or deepen the hole as an alternative though inferior sales/advertising tactic).

Logic and the Western History Viewpoint in Schools

The philosophy of history is an interesting subject. Plainly though one need differentiate actual history from the academic investigation and writing of history books. The history of the world is what it was, historians can only discover it and hopefully accurately reconstruct abstracts of what actually occurred.

   If one thinks about it there are particular reasons why the quantitative distribution of history works and projects have developed unevenly regarding modern nations and people that are logical. It would be wrong to assume that publlc education management selections of what to teach in schools equals the quantity or quality of history books actually existing in the world. Consider one obvious fact though that influences what books school administrators encounter; they need choose books written in the language they are teaching students. In the United States the language used is English and thus history books written by English speaking people with their viewpoint have comprised the bulk of selections and instructions to students. That is a western point of view.

  One of the most fun points of learning general history is in finding areas to learn about that are completely new. After reading for some time most of  the history of world regions becomes exhausted. One must look into more detail to learn new things regardless of it being Asian, African, Latin American, Canadian, Russian or U.S. history etc.

  Writing history books also requires a particular environment and standard of living. The Inca 'wrote' or recorded history books in rope knots that no one can translate today. The high humidity of African, South American and other jungles rot paper. Cave paintings remain in some places for tens of thousands of years yet perhaps not graphic novels without language. Prehistory leading to places that could transition to language inscribed on clay tablets i.e. Mesopotamia and ancient Sumer created more channels for recording history than the far north after 25,000 B.C. when humans began to move there in small numbers as the Wisconsin Ice Age slowly ended. The far north environment did not help produce paper making or written languages and historical and social advances that follow as technical knowledge quantity can be kept with increasing range.

  Much history publication followed the invention of the printing press in the west. In China there is much historical material available, and of course poetry. There is a good recent series that recounts some of the Fall of Civilizations on Han China including the experience of a poet returning to his hometown that was a burnt down former imperial capital. One could write quite a bit on the philosophy of history, yet I have other interests presently.

Cush and the River of History

 There is a paper on Ethiopia and the Bible by Sampson S Ndoga that is named "Biblical Portrayal of Ethiopia as a Challenge to Western Perspectives of Africa". I have used several facts from that paper in writing the following...


Cush and the Flow of the River of History

 Beyond the 6th Cataract of the Nile
people of burnt faces lived
to rule Egypt in the 25th dynasty
to send officials to Israel during the Babylonian invasions
to field a large structured army
to serve as tools of God
chastising the wayward nation of Jacob/Israel/Judah
-yet Asa appealed to God who let Israel prevail... 2nd Chronicles 14:"8 And Asa had an army of men that bare targets and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bare shields and drew bows, two hundred and fourscore thousand: all these were mighty men of valour.
9And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an host of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and came unto Mareshah."

  The Kingdom of Cush began south of Meroe
the prophet Jeremiah with his scribe Baruch
mentions Cush 53 times, later called Nubia
why Ebed-Melech of Cush, The Servant of King Zedekiah
rescued Jeremiah, is known to God
the name Melech means ‘king’

  Servant referred to a high official
so the servant-king rescued the prophet
who was incarcerated for being against war
and for peace with Babylonian imperial designs
Melech Malchei HaMelachim- in Hebrew the king of kings
Neuchanezzar chose to destroy Jerusalem
to end its resistance
the region was federalized in a sense
the changes persisting even when Babylon soon left
with regional government infrastructure updated

  Africans are referred to 577 times in the Old Testament
often as Cushites
early writers used the term Ethiopians to mean Africans
and Ethiopia the Eastern South Atlantic

Emperors and Kings sometimes
trusted few at court around their women
making eunichs of advisers
Zhenge He and Ebed Melech were cut by royal force
Phillip gave an Ethiopian eunich educator reading Isaiah
the word of the Lord
receiving the good news to edify and save
the faithful to the south
ref. Acts 8:34-37

Ethiopia was the name taken by Ezana
king of Aksumites in the 4th century C.E.
to his national boundaries
somewhat like that of Cush, Nubia, the Sudan
and modern Ethiopia

Like much of the rest of the world
people are challenged by thermodynamics of original sin
in conflict with knowledge, being and time
and the will of the Lord and Spirit
directing the flow of history
goes past them freely willed
with it predermined-
maybe retrocausality lets free will of the lost
choose their course for-themselves
though it is predestined so.

The Physicist of All Seasons (a poem)


Like a snow globe
a quartz stone refracting light
held in a hand
brings colors to sight
like a world well planned

Drawing the faithful to God
reminders across the sky
rainbows for reasons
answer questions of construction why
the Physicist of seasons
refracts tensor wavelengths of pi

Slowing light waves through mediums showing
light over horizons glowing
under storm clouds parting before night
show seven colors of heavenly sight.

Superbowl vs Wrestling (the poem)

 

The new world order
chiefly eagle clan opinions
strength considered, speed discussed
three weeks of analysis
technically in the rough
put in from the woods
reds vs greens
before the window opened on Arizona
Elon Musk on camera seen

To the last minute
halftime ever off
smoke and mirror entrances
lost to silent screen gauss
deep in distant desert
offenses rampaging scored
defenses shot through methodically
referee'd bungled calls grew
pickled pixels boxed too
DDT' put Eagles down
to ground signals fibering boxes
evermore
higlights of the raven
until the last round of next draft.

The Human Race that Passes Away (poem)

 

Wars upon itself
is destined to die
rots like garbage at a landfill
admires shiny things
adds darkness to darkness
believes its lies
with all sincerity
perishes on the conveyor belt of time

It has hope in nothing
nouns, verbs and adverbs are words
it loves matter
matter and fleshy things\not even adjectives
though it works

Jesus Christ the Redeemer was/is
in-himself for-others
with the Spirit
eternity is a thought
donation of being and time
without death
that passes away.

Slave Trade Networks; Historical Origin paradigmata

 The origins of slavery is an interesting yet somewhat vague topic to most Americans. Since this is the ending phase of the U.S. National Black history month I thought I would contribute a thesis idea if not a thesis on the Muslim origins of the European and American slave trade.

Islamic slavers captured and enslaved Africans before the rise of European exploitation of the black human resource I would guess. The Umayyad had invaded Spain and attacked Sicily and Constantinople long before European ship development had trans-Atlantic capability.

Of course Europe too had slavery for-itself as is well known from Greek history. Romans too had slavery as did Carthaginians. Each likely had black slaves, although Caesar in his book The Civil War, I believe it was, described a battle with a black General named Numa in North Africa. So the degree of black slavery was less perhaps then, and Europe itself not full of black slaves, as was the U.S.A. later where 50% of the southern states population was black.

At some point after 622 C.E. Mohammedans embarked on a vast expansion north, south and west from Arabia. Slavery was simply a part of human society in that era of low government enforcement capability outside of war and direct condign measures capability. African slaves and slave networks may have been worked into the business models of entrepreneurs of the region.

For several centuries after the protracted war between Islam and Europe with incessant pressure from Islam advancing the battle line northward slaves were a part of the complexity of society and perennial war. In the sea change year of 1492 Columbus discovered the Americas for Europe and the final Moors were driven from Spain at Grenada. Yet interactions had been established and slave trade networks and situations for capture and export of slaves existed that might be expropriated by European human traffickers. Slavery was a ripe business for the age of European exploration and hegemony over North Africa. It flourished in the Americas as the development of European conquest continued, especially driven by continuing Muslim pressure on the eastern front with the fall of Constantinople to the Osmanli Muslims in 1453 and the Sublime Porte's conquests in Serbia and siege of Vienna in 1683. Building up American colonies quickly in order to provide resources to defend against Mohammedans may have added a drafting effect on importation of African slaves to America, if the competition between Europeans themselves for colonial territories wasn't enough.

Tweaking the Moon's Dirt to Sustain Healthy Plant Growth

 The European Space Agency is making a study of Lunar agricultural methods. The Moon's dirt, named regolith, has the right minerals for healthy plant growth except nitrogen yet reportedly compacts too much when watered with deleterious impact on plant growth.

https://www.extremetech.com/extreme/343300-european-space-agency-launches-12-month-lunar-farming-study

To prevent compaction of the regolith with watering perhaps pellet filters made from compacting or fusing the rock should be added to the dirt to create filler-spacing elements in it. Some plants might grow better in a hydroponic paradigm yet it would be good to be able to change the composition of the regolith with matter from the regolith itself to render it useful for growing plants. Plainly changing the mass of the moon is a bad idea yet scientists can calculate that reasonably well and add or subtract mass from it to renormalize. Electro-magnetic mass drivers should be able to bail out the moon from too much mass arriving. Agriculture for-itself wouldn't change the gross mass of the moon after all the beans had been accounted for.
