Hillary's Hidden Email Coms;- The Historical Perspective

The 16th century theologian Thomas Watson understood the world well. In that contentious era of English history regicides and religious purges affected even his own status as a pastor. It is notable that human sin and the corruption of high offices have not really changed much-it's unjust that the organizational methods have been changed to exploit the innocent.

Hillary Clinton's hidden email accounts are the antinomy of open meetings and of public government for the people. It is the dark pool approach to government equivalent to those hidden speed-of-light Wall Street percentage shell games. It may have been in the Bradley Manning-Edward Snowden era yet is that an excuse for hiding government work deeply offline where it could be subcontracted to anyone willing to pay for the privilege?

Watson page 32-”The impartiality of those men of God who wrote the Scriptures, who do not spare to set down their own failings. What man that writes a history would black his own face, by recording those things of himself that might stain his reputation? Moses records his own impatience when he struck the rock, and tells us, he could not on that account enter into the land of promise. David relates his own adultery and bloodshed, which stands as a blot in his escutcheon to succeeding ages. Peter relates his own pusillanimity in denying Christ.

Jonah sets down his own passions, ‘I do well to be angry to the death.' Surely had their pen not been guided by God's own hand, they would never have written that which reflects dishonour upon themselves. Men usually rather hide their blemishes then publish them to the world; but the penmen of holy Scripture eclipse their own name; they take away all glory from themselves, and give the glory to God.”

The observation of Watson is quite true. Christian Apostles explained backstage rather than front stage behavior to the public. Over the course of history that tends to be not so, and is something that people tend to pick on still. One has a Jimmy Swaggart seeming as a chastising figure for sinful moral behavior in a corrupt society who then was revealed to have been visiting a prostitute in New Orleans. Christian pastors hiding immoral behavior that are enfiladed are trophies for the lost legions of Satan in the mass media era. How much disrespect have the Catholic Church's pedophile priests brought upon religion in America and Europe. Those sorts of leveraging monsters exist of course in all fields of social endeavor with hierarchical authority.. Bill Clinton as President had a student intern to fill his days yet the left apologized for that and Sweden awarded a Blobel a Nobel Prize that year. Sinful Christians in the ministry though are like embezzling accountants and notably reprehensible. That is another reason why a priesthood of believers is a better format, where the corrupt just don't have that higher position of power to lever or exploit the lesser-and the corrupt will migrate into positions of power naturally putting on the vestments of authority yet allegiant to personal egoism.

When Hillary Clinton was revealed to have hidden a private email account at home where she sent tens or hundreds of thousands of emails on official State Department business that back-room behavior wasn't surprising; the Democrat Party and sycophant media seems about ex officio racketeering and organizing crime ala' Lenin. That it was illegal or against State Department policy and a good example of how the corrupt keep their conspiracies and collusions, connivances and intrigues secret from the world so far as possible will be explained away until it seems like a public service to the mindless followers of public radio. Ms. Clinton may not have hidden a smoking gun-Vince Foster diary-until maturation date, yet she could have been working instructions from President Amadhdinijab or organizing a second Bolshevik evolution for all the people of the U.S.A. know. Did she act with select world leaders to implement an abominable new world order of homo marriage and wars across North Africa and Ukraine? Perhaps not rising to The Secret History (of Procopius) nevertheless in Hillary the public should not trust and that is the way it is-confirming Watson's remarks. Where can one find an honest politician that is competent in ecospheric economics and security while not allegiant to a devil?

Watson page 32-”The mighty power and efficacy that the Word has had upon the souls and consciences of men. It has changed their hearts. Some by reading Scripture have been turned into other men; they have been made holy and gracious. By reading other books the heart may be warmed, but by reading this book it is transformed. 2 Cor 3:3. ‘Ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God.'”

Watson page 32-”so when the seal of the Word leaves a heavenly print of grace upon the heart, there must needs be a power going along with that Word no less than divine. It has comforted their hearts. When Christians have sat by the rivers weeping, the Word has dropped as honey, and sweetly revived them. A Christian's chief comfort is drawn out of these wells of salvation. Rom 15:5. ‘That we through comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.' When a poor soul has been ready to faint, it has had nothing to comfort it but a Scripture cordial. When it has been sick, the Word has revived it. 2 Cor 4:17. ‘Our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory.' When
it has been deserted, the Word has dropped in the golden oil of joy. Lam 3:3I. ‘The Lord will not cast off for ever.' He may change his providence, not his purpose; he may have the look of an enemy, but he has the heart of a father. Thus the Word has a power in it to comfort the heart. Psa 119:90. ‘This is my comfort in mine affliction; for thy word has quickened me.' As the spirits are conveyed through the arteries of the body, so divine comforts are conveyed through the promises of the Word.”

Private E-Mail to Replace Government Accounts in Government ala' Hillary at State?

One must wonder in light of the revelation that Hillary Clinton while Secretary of State had a private email account to conduct state department business at home why people bother politicians about such things at all? Do the people or the media expect politicians to talk with their Swiss bankers about secret accounts or deposit verification, or talk with foreign suppliers or sex partners on the public dime?

Imagine if Bill Clinton while President had needed to have the public looking into his private communications with swank affairs or secret deals to do what Al Gore called 'making sausage' or if Dick Chaney had to find some way without secret communications to arrange no-bid contracts to Halliburton and other suppliers.

 Hillary Clinton does not of course supports Kant's Categorical Imperative for moral law-where everything that one advocates for a law should work for everyone categorically on a universal level. The reason for the dissent is that while it may be valuable for a particular to break the law, if the law were broken universally it would be no law. Politicians often think of themselves as exceptions to the rule of law-even while they are law enforcement officials-its just the nature of the animal.

Iditarod Should Evolve to Low Carbon Emissions Test Track

This year the Iditarod Dog-Sled Race Started 300 Miles north in Fairbanks because of the lack of snow. Global warming in Alaska has hit early. James Lovelock predicted everyone will need to move up north within 200 years as the south becomes desertified and only 200 million people will survive. While that may stimulate conversions to Christianity it is still reasonable to try to use the Iditarod dog race as a field test track for adapting low carbon emissions technology from the elimination of campfires to space-blanket coats for the dogs.

God loved Jacob and hated Ishmael. Jews got Jesus and Arabs got Mohammed. Calvinistic believe that got pre-determined who would be saved through the grace of God and who would be lost fighting in the desert for wrong causes. It is right to follow when the Spirit calls the elect to give up the ways of the dead and to receive new life in Christ.

Human and animal biological health doesn't actually need machines for crutches though they may have built in pogo-sticks. Though technology is a fine thing it is yet desirable to eliminate high northern latitude carbon emissions as soon as possible and the old ways of just adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere as if Thor and the Valhalla gang really liked a warmer temperature.

The Iditarod should receive N.A.S.A.-quality technical support for becoming a green race in a warmer world leading the way by example across the remaining worldly wilderness trails in conservation and excitement.

In another race over the old Iditarod trail-a bike race with fat tires, one of the racers got 300 miles in a single day. That was fairly remarkable.

http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/wireStory/mushers-embark-trek-alaska-iditarod-begins-29506028

The ability to adapt to political and environmental challenges intelligently is supposed to be an advantage. Just continuing to burn fossil fuels and campfires around a track isn't really adaptive enough to brighten the prospects for human survival on Earth.

On Spirit and Evolution Theory




Watson's collected sermons in 'Body of Divinity' comprise a catechism in the faith in order that Christians 'may be well-grounded in the faith'. The work is edifying obviously and beautifully written-a permanent edition to one's library that may be read and reread over the years.

Consider that while Thomas Aquinas was a scholastic theologian with a neo-Aristotelian method 'proving' points about God with logic, Thomas Watson was a scriptural theologian using inferences and inductions from scripture to inform readers (or originally listeners to his sermons) of the attributes and purposes of God. I suppose one might find a history of theologians or an encyclopedia of theologians to learn just where Watson's method of theology fits into the history of theology, yet I would guess that the early reformers broke some ground in the development of theological method.

Aquinas' scholastic approach in comparison to Watson's scriptural approach seems somewhat wide of the mark of relevance to Christians, though of course Aquinas was a brilliant theologian who wrote centuries earlier and contributed to the development of methods of using logic in application to theoretical and actual reality. His inductive and inductive reasoning deliberations that consider God phenomenally still serve as a model for consideration of design characteristics to investigate abstract topics.

Recently I encountered a philosophical and cosmological world view of Brian Josephson- the eponymous inventor of the Josephson effect and Josephson junctions (for quantum tunneling)- a Nobel laureate, that resembles G.W.F. Hegel's idea about God realizing himself in history (described in The Phenomenology of Mind). The idea transcends the boundaries of naive evolution vs. creationism quite a bit. Josephson believes that quantum mechanics can evolve its own complexity inclusive of mind, yet his theory stipulates an initial observer starting the development or evolution of a system of evolving quanta that becomes sentient biologically. I want to expand the parameters of the Josephson theoria to extrapolate and explain theological implications.

http://www.tcm.phy.cam.ac.uk/~bdj10/

The physics and what is known of biological systems of aggregating change and in creasing complexity and complex structures appear to support Josephson's thesis that is comparable to a neo-Hegelian evolution of spirit realizing itself in history. Josephson's theory obviates the need for the extra dimensions of M and String theories. In those theories there is a vast number(10 to the 500th power?) of ways of putting dimensions together to form a Universe such as this and hence equally as many mathematical forms to describe it. Finding the right formula and dimensional model to account for the nature of this Universe would be rather challenging. Instead of a virtually infinite number of dimensions that with randomness or perhaps logical permutation experiment (an anthropomorphism) with the generation of a Universe capable of supporting life-an approach often used by atheists to negate the anthropic principle/Goldilocks 'just rightness' physical constants of this Universe such that it supports life, and observer initiates or primes the initial quanta to be and become.

Such an observer could be hypothesized to have evolved for-himself in some way before the Universe existed, although Christians stipulate that God existed from eternity rather than having a beginning. One might consider that the 'ancient of days' did not simply evolve mind as the first created Person and become God to all subsequent Universes. In a way that is incomprehendsible to the human mind, God always was. God was and is prior to the existence of the first virtual particle, erg of energy or dimension of possible space-time. In any event once God was, and as God was, with omniscience and omnipotence all potential creations, Universes and evolutions were with God and for-God. Wheeler's ideas about retro-causality would not substantially alter the relationship of God to His being except that it might illustrate an eternal loop of God bootstrapping His existence. I do not prefer that approach. Causal explanations for the being of eternal God just don't seem right.

At any rate though, since God existed He would be able to jump-start any number of possible Universes though they could be designed to evolve like a growing, branching tree. Because God is a sentient mind who may evolve sentient minds in contingent Universes it is likely that as an omniscient mind he foreknows all contingent minds that exist or would exist in any possible Universe. God's being transcends and encompasses all temporal space-time and contingent sentient beings within a given universe.

Though this is a scholastic sort of theological speculation rather than scriptural it is useful to show that evolution theory is not incompatible with God creating the Universe, with physical determinism nor with God continuing a sustaining role knowing the content of all sentient thought within a physically evolving Universe. Alpha through Omega.

Romans 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.”

Josephson's theoria has I think primarily a steady state Universe criterion and that steady state Universe and its quantum material are field phenomena that are entangled in a field and that field in an unknowable order (of God I would think). Being certain of the actual physical composition of a meta-field containing the Higg's field and all of the steady-state material in it inclusive of black holes and space-time is unrealistic for some time I would think. One can however be certain of Jesus Christ .

Dropping the Last Letters for History (poem)

They fell like leaves from a tree
the last letter of every word compiling like quick stones
rolling down slope tumbling free
detached from an alphabet with phonemes never home

When I increased the zoom an eagle was waiting
a beak of random eclectic chance
without an electron algorithm
species fell off the ladder too
detached from evolution for silent springs

Rounded letters driven in square holes with a staccatto beat
breathing senseless words of meaningless gists
gathered inertia spent when dropped tops for lay down
with history's dinosaurs, monsters of transistors and quantum conjectures.

Kenneth Gentry's 'Answers to Post-Millennial Objections' etc. (video)

Sitka Sound Commercial Fisherman Hogging Salmon

The ability of technological decimation of Alaska salmon fisheries is plain. Even before the rise of high-tech electronic fish finders the salmon population had crashed a few times from over-fishing with traps. As it is today sports and subsistence fishermen, fisherwomen and fishertransgenders get far too little of the catch left over after the commercial deep-pockets fleet has taken the lion's share, and that just isn't fair.

King salmon stocks are severely strained from over-fishing and invasive species such as Northern Pike brought to Alaska from Minnesota that aggressively killed young salmon in Alaskan rivers. Scientists have stocked salmon ocean migrations with technology and discovered that they go as far north as the Bering Sea in search of cooler waters. It is expensive for subsistence and sports fishermen to travel far in the state to catch some food to eat, while commercial fishermen with cheap gas move themselves and their nets about to cull the health and population out of the beaten-down King salmon. Even the lowly chum salmon is kicked about by commercial fishermen that leave as little as possible for anyone else.

Subsistence fishing should have 25% of the possible catch of all fish and sports fishing 25%. No more than 50% of the fish in the sea should go to concentrated power and wealth commercial fishing interests. Even though subsistence and commercial fishing may allow greater escapement of fish to spawn and rebuild the population since they are not trying to scrape the bottom of the barrel for the benefit of the rich; that is subsistence and sports-fishermen may be content with getting what they need and let natural abundance continue, the commercial fishing fleet are another sort of egoist dollar sign led horde lusting after the last morsel of fish in the sea for-themselves.

If commercial fishermen are restricted to 50% of the harvest the extra escapement should increase the total of fish overall paradoxically increasing the number of fish that even the commercial fishermen catch. If the take allotment of commercial fishermen were reduced more the increase of harvest should be even greater. That is a supply-side fishinomics policy beyond the simplistic 'kill the fish eating ducks' way of hogging the catch as far as possible.



Genesis of Dispensational Theology (video)





Dispensationalism is one of the more recent Christian theological ways of viewing the meaning of scripture. It seems to have been added to the theological library by a Jesuit named Lacunza. The motive for the new way of looking at things may have been stimulated by the counter-reformation Council of Trent.

Dispensationalism is relevant today because it is another of the wrong directions that pre-tribulationist evangelical take in forming a worldview with the likelihood of near-term conclusive apocalyptic, eschatological doom soon ahead. That wrong interpretation of scripture affects U.S. politics significantly in environmental and ecological economic policy biased toward non-sustainability.

Darwinian Dangers for Intelligent Design of A.I. Robot Brains

Development of Artificial Intelligence with Darwinian characteristics present opportunities for apologetics and thought about cosmology. Artificial intelligence that designs and evolves itself would comprise a significant danger to all organic life. One of the first characteristics of any species in Darwinian contexts is to reproduce prolifficly and monopolize an ecosystem taking market dominance in modern terms. Eliminating rivals is inherent.

Consider that humans are far better predators than wolves. Wolves cannot lie or dissimulate as people can. he ability of artificial intelligence to convincingly lie would perhaps exceed that of D.C. politicians.


Contemporary apologetics should be aware of not just arguments within a theological context, it must comprehend the critical prevailing intellectual environment of the day that dominates contemporary thought including that of the media. It is of course neo-Darwinian and worships blind random chance such as makes Wall Street and government grow. It is necessary to know contemporary cosmology to understand why the conversation placing Christianity within a tiny little historical box of error in the minds of the materialists.


A large part of the problem arises from the demonstrably wrong cosmology held by people of the past including many Christians. Authority doesn't like to be wrong, and it also likes to be unreflective and dogmatic in order to expedite bureaucratic power and revenue streams for-itself. That is a basic human social characteristic infused with original sin.




Darwinian evolution is not evolution by design. Wild random chance, mutation, copious conflict, democide and the will to eat rivals are characteristic of Darwinism. The lost and atheists should be careful what they wish for or prefer.


It is unfortunate for intellectual competence in the field of pseudo-science that dismissive atheists advocating theological nihilism have little understanding of theology. I have published a free e-book named 'Creation and Cosmos; The Literal Values of Genesis' that explains some of my thoughts on the topic. God created this and every possible Universe; yek the particular sentient beings within them may run toward being suffused with personal egoism and the myopia that entails.



There was an article published at Google plus on the effort to develop artificial intelligence with the nature of evolution in it. It is worth reading to learn some of the way people believe things are. Pure random chance arising from a void (vacuum energy) is thought to have coalesced without help from God to evolve a Universe. I believe that God may have used evolution to build a Universe-yet that exceeds the parameters of the above-mentioned article.

Intra-Christian debate about how to correctly interpret Genesis is different from the context of what the pure materialists think about the Universe. It is necessary to have a good idea of contemporary cosmology in order to dialogue with that public. Most of that public wouldn't think that Christians could consider multi-verse theory, and yet it can be inferred that God could create an infinite number of Universe with his omnipotent and omniscient nature. People considering natural philosophy only tend to consistently underestimate the power of God.

Will U.S. Supreme Court Terminate the Natural Truth of Marriage?

In an era of planetary over-population will the U.S. Supreme Court vote to end the natural truth of heterosexual marriage in order to obfuscate social history and convert social reality into a mode appropriate for an egressing era of Corporate Imperialism?

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-03-05/from-goldman-to-google-companies-back-gay-marriage-in-supreme-court-brief

Though there are innumerable ways two adults might encumber themselves legal with contracts the homosexual movement has set their target on expropriating marriage for themselves redistributing all of the benefits designed by legislators to support heterosexual reproduction and child rearing. Business ironically supports the idea of redistribution of legal privileges though is generally in opposition to the redistribution of wealth (because the benefits here are in the public sector).

In order to have a society where homosexuals might legally approach male youth as if they were girls and with legal dope create a more stoned and stupid society more jellyfish-like for purposes of Corporate power and population reduction the Court may choose to outlaw heterosexual marriage among the 50 states.

Erasing social tradition and history; forcing new vinegar into old wine skins, homosexual marriages and divorces will debase the social currency of marriage and the meaning of marriage. It will become a term that describes a temporary dyadic bonding relationship rather than a union of genes and a synthetic recombination in progeny. That is a defeat of a very important political right of individuals against large imperial, corporate or government powers. Terminating the meaning of marriage-the historical facts of heterosexual marriage categorically violates the privacy of marriage and family. It erases that sacred personal bonding and replaces it with cheap social legal dyads with no necessary relationship to potential for reproduction. The era of transjennered proles under imperial power like stoned sardines in the U.S. public can is the sorry evolution the ill-informed of D.C. and Boston lust after.

Hot Onomatopoeic Decimation of Decency in Obama/Nixoncare

Bureaucratic solutions to material issues may be dangerous to your health. Because the Obama administration with a Congressional majority for six years accomplished just three things-advancing queer marriage to subvert natural social health, permanent tax cuts for the rich, and forcing through the adaptive Nixon corporate health care plan (aka Obamacare) the nation’s economic situation became enswamped in the shadows of lender cornices of potential economic avalanches. The middle class has sought a way to pass the buck of health care costs to someone else.

Though summer 2015 may bring a couple of months with 300,000 minimum wage jobs created, that could be be like a false spring before the cascade of financial avalanche. An avalanche made of skyscraper of cards, foreign investments, public debt, concentrated wealth and environmental disaster. When the whip comes down from economic natural law the poor will lose health and dental care first while the middle class sympathizes with Hollywood smiles if at all.

When the Obama administration forced through national health care and tax cuts for the rich without balancing the Federal it was necessary to pay for the new program with increased federal debt and Treasury Department chicanery. Annual interest on public debt is approaching a trillion dollars.

The U.S. Federal Reserve was already buying up bad debt from the Federal Government that the administration got from big banks with bad derivatives and investing debt. Printing free loans to the Banks the banks could loan out 400% of those Federal gifts and buy up toxic home mortgages and stocks indirectly. Passing the buck results in two fundamental principles-the poor get comparatively poorer and government compiles more debt.

In Alaska- a state with fewer than a million people and a high average income, about 10 billion is spent each year on health care. With a state government revenue deficit of 3 billion dollars because of the drop in oil price per barrel Obamacare costs and the insurance mandate are creating problems. Like many middle class Americans that want a federal health cost subsidy greater than the cost of food stamps annually by several hundred percent Alaskans will seek to pass on the cost for health care to the Federal dent account so far as possible. Immediately though, cutting health care expenses for prisoners, the homeless and the poor would be prioritized because they have little political power. To cut health care costs for the incarcerated is the moral equivalent of torture-although without major organ failure it can’t be torture according to established U.S. Government policy (maybe nations that cane prisoners should just water-board them because that’s not torture?).

Very high quality health care is very expensive. Much of the health care that the poor, homeless and prisoners require is not. It would have been easy to expand the national V.A. hospital system to network with homeless clinics and the poor people’s clinics to provide services to the poor without involving the middle class at all and thus negate Obama-Nixon care.

It should also be possible to create a national clinic franchise co-op that provides a limited range of medical services to members that pay an annual membership fee with zero deductible. Private franchise treatment centers would provide the most common medical services required to members, and instead of buying normal medical service or skipping it altogether because of irregular or inadequate employment youth and the middle class would have a reasonably secure alternative to too expensive insurance. Youth should not be required to pay for Obamacare through buying insurance they don’t need to subsidize the middle class...even if those would be illegal alien youth made residents that could be taxed with Obamacare payments to corporate insurers.

President Obama innovated direct tax payments by citizens to private corporations with Obamacare yet did not fix the basic health cost issue; the increase in medical technology requires a physical rather than a bureaucratic remedy. A nation of paper pushers or keyboard data entryists tends to find paper or shuffling abstract dollar solutions instead of physical solutions to political challenges. If Nigers and Nigerians are morphological lexemes for black and blacks equiv to blanc and blancians for White and Whitians. It is easier for Federal bureaucrats to make the use of the word niger in the U.S.A. hate speech than to create full employment for black and white youth or explain why Niger is pronounced with a French accent these days yet not Nigeria.

When will the Mexican word 'Moo-hair' be added to the Federal lexicon of hate words with a crazed antonym of hate in transliteral, onomatopoeic reassignment? Plainly multilingualism enables hate speech for people of various languages using babelgabel words from others with homophones. Jap and Brit are terms of derision for enemies of antipathetic people when used hatefully in war or in presence of opfor political correctness minders. How long can it go on?

No one ever called the po-lease to complain about a cat meowing or about being attacked by a couple of cats or they would think he/she or it were a pussy. Likewise if a wild mule is serving to chase the wildcats out of the hen-house why slave it with a harness to the plow? How hateful can it be to expropriate medical services from physicians and nurses though they make more pay than ordinary Americans and make them slaves of corporations that would enslave Americans to buy insurance from-em?

Pre-Trib Lemma of Misunderstanding the Kingdom of God/Jesus Christ

 Pre-tribs with the expectation of doom politically and environmentally doen't work for a better society enough. Jesus was successful at establishing the kingdom of God within his generation however. One expects God to be successful at accomplishing his purpose-to grow a majoritarian Christian society over time saving as many humans as possible, and I believe that was his purpose (although He must be amused at any human efforts to understand things teleologically speaking.
Pre-Tribuation means pre-chaos,pre- catastrophe,pre-oppression,pre-persecution,pre-doom generally. Of course a rapture spices up the stew of doom.
A lemma in morphology is the headword of a lexime- with the same root in various forms. Pre-tribulationism is the headword of a cascade of end times expectations that are in error except as people can make them so by neglecting to work on positive ventures and hope for the worst.
What I mean about God being successful is more of a theological point about the omnipotence of God-that is God cannot be anything besides successful than in association with particular historical demographics. Reading Watson's 'Divinity' presently points about grace and humility are well-taken. One should have humility in learning about eschatological insights that a majority have not. People were preponderantly in error about end-times opinions in regard to a tribulation for most of history since the third century A.D. 

Matthew 16:28 refers I think to the establishment of the kingdom of God-like Microsoft's rise after getting Gary Kildall's software-like an ion engine it can be a slow build and like the stock market have fluxes in numbers. Pre-tribs should not be regarded as being successful though wrong unless one wants to say that simply being Christian contributes to Christian evangelization and life generally even though a particular eschatological viewpoint is in error. Watson writes about providence and grace, and providence of God is provided for everyone good and bad,saved or not. The way God constructs history with pre-deterministic elements is a deep topic; issues for the Divine Tech Department rather than anything I might write here presently.

Saving Federal Expenses

When Senator McConnell and President Obama host official dinners in the future they should apply standard austerity guidelines and cater food from McDonald's limiting choices to the robust double cheeseburger from the dollar menu. That excellent foodstuff could be supplemented with ranch dressing flavored potato chips that make an acceptable salad substitute when garnished with ketchup. beverage selection would be liberal with a choice of tap-water with or without an ice cube.


Federal motorcade should be with a custom fleet of American built electric vehicles. For security the task force could be surrounded with a cloud of invisible solar and fuel-cell powered stealth drones with lasers and guided missile able to swiftly dispatch political opponents reaching so far into their bag-o-tricks as to perpetrate terrorist attacks.

Five days a month all Federal office buildings should be open just half a day. A free sack lunch would be provided to employees as they leave so adequate compensation for lost time is achieved.

A Personal Library Recommendation- 'Body of Divinity'

Thomas Watson's 'Divinity' is a beautiful text for systematic theology. I think Watson's method does more and less than conform to; "Systematic theology focuses on a particular doctrine and demonstrates it from the text". Watson's expository writing uses copious Biblical citations, yet it isn't to propound a particular doctrine. Instead his purpose is simply to illuminate the gospel and the meaning of scripture Old and New Testaments. One could write a paper on Watson's Systematic Theology, yet it is a systematic theology a posteriori rather than by design or intention. I don't think that Watson intended too much to write a systematic theology at all. The hundreds of sermons on the Bible and what can be known/inferred of God just compiled as a sum-over-history of the main points of what may be an implicit theology of the Bible...if Theologian A writes his best theological abstract of the Bible, and theologian B and C...Z write their's, isn't there still an inherent Biblical theology that can be found and that all of the theologians are trying to encapsulate? Perhaps that would be comparable to dozens of dialects and accents of one language.

Watson's book was written about 400 years ago. It has a few physics concepts that are obsolete, yet that will happen to most of the physics ideas held now eventually. The word of God remains the same however.

Alaska Legislature Flares Gas Again

How many decades has the legislature flared gas on building a gas pipeline in order to channel pork to consultant friends or get kickbacks from the oiled? This most recent flare up appears more of the same. The difference is that with gas prices dropping due to fracking and plentiful national supply the credibility of building a pipeline through Canada is non-existent. The best policy would be for the state to withdraw from the Alaska-Exxon LNG Canadian Jobs Bill directly.

Careful analysis of a chess game situation indicates the correct way to respond to a challenge from the opponent. Building a gas pipeline with state of Alaska economic leadership requires careful economic analysis. Building a pipeline in Alaska is requisite for any state participation for a number of strong reasons. For one any pipeline in Canada places the Alaska product at the mercy of the Queen's minions-are Alaskan politicians so tame as to want to be subjects to a foreign power and pay for it themselves?


For state politicians to let Exxon and big oil make them a cat's paw with promises so far that the state provides subsidies is awesomely stupid. Consider empirical economic facts concerning Alaska and China as the probable long-term export market with its world-leading contribution to global warming from greenhouse gases-mainly coal fired power plants that may be replaced quicker with natural gas plants until hydrogen fuel cells, solar, wind and fusion power sources arrive along with superconductors and additional new technology. The state legislature should just focus on getting an in-state pipeline from the slope to Cook Inlet built within three years.


Though the state cannot get anything done in three years-its a nice political dream.

Republicans vs the Underverse Again in 2016

Since Ronald Reagan the United States has had three consecutive Presidents (not counting the transitional 41) representing development of an Underverse Party. The Underverse has few moral reservations beyond personal or class egoism. International political or economic competence aren't required for the job. Nephews, brothers, spouses and sons of are favored Presidential nominees. The poor may always be trimmed to bring the federal budget into balance, while contracts and weapons to kill foreigners can enhance the corporate and government class portfolio. Cheap illegal labor can be imported...etc.

It is remarkable how few politicians seem to have any sense of how to work for the general good of society rather than simply narrow partisan if not special interests. Working against party enemies seems the purpose of modern political activity. The concept of objective and independent reasoning about what is required to make the nation and population flourish within a health and security ecosphere is nearly non-existent.

Youth and the intellectually challenged may work for the pecuniary remunerative enhancement of social credit accounts of course. political leaderships should have some sort of larger vision though about matters such as value theory, the place of the environment in the world and enough political philosophy to get beyond cold war era theory.

Achieving the election of a race, gender or perversion preferred candidate is no substitute for political competence. While party interests may rise the ship of state may subside. The danger is that with the rise of an Underverse platform it may be exported and forced on other nations. The international relations incompetence of U.S. administrations of since the 20th century turned should never be misunderestimated.

Before the Spanish American war swelled Presidents and Congress the U.S.A. never had been in a foreign war of significance (not counting the counter-Mexican invasion). After that the clever British induced America to get involved in a continental European war twice and a cold war ensued. During the Bolshevik revolution the U.S.A. even sent 2000 soldiers to Russia to support the white army at war against the red army. U.S. Presidents are fundamentally idiots looking out more for British rather than national interests disregarded George Washington's farewell address comments entirely.

Consider U.S. history with Iran and Iraq. Iranian history is one with three or four parts of society holding power one at a time. The least powerful element was that of ordinary people. Military supporting royals or theocrats could rule yet the ordinary people aspired for democracy. When they finally achieved that in 1953 the U.S. led coup to get rid of the Prime Minister and restore a monarch gutted democratic aspiration. Then after decades of repressive aristocratic rule supported by the U.S. Government the left supported Khomeini to get rid of the monarch and SAVAK-the secret police. So once again the United States was involved on both sides of anti-democratic power struggle in Iran-is it any wonder that many  Iranians regard the U.S.A. as the great Satan-especially the Underverse party with homosexual marriage and abortion?

The British had invested in exploiting Iranian resources for quite a while and were peeved when the Iranians expropriated 'their' oil fields. Since then the United States has again been involved in a fairly unreasoned effort to follow up on a neo-colonial state's relationships that went bad. That occurred in Vietnam too with the French being that former colonial power.

With Iraq formerly being under British rule after the first world war it was inevitable I suppose that after the cold war ended Iran and Iraq would be incited to have a bloody war. Eventually of course the United States got involve and spent trillions of dollars rebuilding Iraq rather stupidly-it was supposed t cost just 50 billion dollars. Iraq was not a Germany or japan willing to join the western fold after defeat. Instead the principal of Islam asserted itself and a decade of civil conflict in Iraq enhanced by the Obama administration stimulating Arab Spring conflicts leading to attack upon the Syrian and Libyan governments has brought protracted conflict and the proliferation of Middle East sourced terrorism.

The Middle East seems to be a dog fighting political ecosystem that in the absence of the big dog of direct American power fights against its own for scraps of power and privilege. One must be somewhat naive to think that Iraqis will soon well govern themselves civilly with democracy and that it won't require the big dog to kick any challengers.

Thus one could even wonder if the efficient policy might not be to let all the conflicting parties kill one another without material support from the U.S.A. and then napalm the winners. Christians can't follow such policies of course, yet such circumstances might never occur if American Presidents were good leaders environmentally, politically and comprehended modern things such as full employment, secure borders, career employment security and space colonization in a green way.

Plainly a moral restoration needs to occur in the U.S.A. However with the wedding of Republican corporatists to the Underverse possibly ahead if Justices Cagney, Ginsberg et al vote for homo marriage, it would be challenging to bring that about.

Replacing Barbaric Abortion With Fetal Exfiltration (a theoretical paradigm)

Thomas Hobbes' financial success with biodegradable shampoo bar soap so gentle on hair enabled him to bring an end to the murder of the unborn-a savage, primitive procedure developed in the United States that enabled women to flush their responsible for pregnancy and moral integrity along with their conscience. Thom Hobbes agreed with Watson-'Quamdiu vivet crescitlife is never done growing.Hobbes's love for the female gender motivated his quest for a medical procedure to exfiltrate unwanted fetuses instead of murdering them with barbaric osterization or suction. He was successful in the enterprise.

Hobbes found a pioneering surgical inventor that created an efficient way of exfiltrating a fetus and relocating it to a micro-microbiological storage vessel. His appeal to women to give up the barbaric, unconscionable slaughter of the innocents was made easier with evidence that the unborn could be made to learn chess-and much more with in utero signaling input. To murder thinking beings-even physically humble beings-made even the heartless think twice about killing someone that was somewhat of a sentient peer.

Hobbes was able to save hundreds of thousands of unborn humans in his cryo-containers sent to a long-term cryo-storage facility deep in a lunar crater with a constant near absolute zero temperature where they would wait to repopulate Eartha or a comparable human-friendly environment if the unthinkable disaster of complete eco-collapse decimated the world. Occasionally there were couples seeking children of their own that were given permission to adopt a fetus.

Hal had been the prototype for fetal chess instruction, and was the first to be placed in an Eartha orbiting defense pod. His infantile mind was able to discern regular from anomalous synthetic waveform arrivals and sort through possible attacks upon the world's computational architecture with the objective immunity of pure bioware for-itself and for-others.
