'Hero of the Week' Low-cost Action Figures and Hagiographies

With the ongoing cultural revolution, outsourcing through globalization, invasion of Latino illegal workers, communist like bio-war front of homosexuals to open an additional gender conflict to create a tripartite stress with a communist party-like organizational sophistication internationally and pervasive broadcast media mass programming shock front of globalist/socialist co-option of individual liberties selecting a traditional ‘hero of the week’ cultural hagiography may be somewhat anachronistic. One may search through the annals of history and contemporary affairs when needed to discover some individual that made a difference in the world, and acknowledge that achievement.

In reading about the history of then English language numerous interesting points involving accidence, declension, split infinitives and their solecistic defense, the order of loan words and phrases (why martial courts is said ‘courts martial’ instead) and so forth. English has ever changed, yet in a most orderly way intended to simplify construction and improve expression and clarify meaning. Perhaps a good person of the week should be a defender of cultural, perhaps Charles Martel then will be the first. I might like to choose Jeremiah the indomitable profit, yet his hagiographical sketch can await another time when more than the brief mention that Charles Martel will receive allows.

Charles Martel, born in Belgium August 23, 686 was in essence the founder of modern western civilization, or the pivotal figure without who it would not have survived. The illegitimate son of Pippin the Middle

Martel as head of various armies was victorious in civil wars that led to a unification of much of Europe, and defeated an invading Muslim force at the battle of Tours. Martel is credited by many historians with savings catholic Europe from becoming taken into the Emirate of Cordoba’s demesne. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Andalus.

In a brief Hero of the Week sketch, one is free to digress onto other areas. Thus one may ask ‘what is wisdom’ and discover from the book of proverbs 8-22/31“22The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
23I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.
24When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water.
25Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:
26While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.
27When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:
28When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:
29When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:
30Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him;
31Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men. “
Martel took the province of Nimes and Aquitaine. Nime in old English had another meaning ‘name’, yet well understood the difficulties in ignoring Beowulf (baywolf) or alternatively (from proverbs 17-19 “ 19He loveth transgression that loveth strife: and he that exalteth his gate seeketh destruction.” Interesting Gary Killan’s operating system was transmuted into q-dos by another small company with a questionable proprietary transfer (some have speculated that if patent law was better evolved then Killan might have kept the ownership exclusively) incidentally ‘patent letter’ is another one of those French loan phrases that would have been better written ‘ letter of patent’. IBM contacted then Harvard dropout Bill Gates about buying the company with the hot operating system with the assurance that it would give him an exclusive supply contract for IBM operating systems in personal computers if he paid 50,000 for the company. Gates bought and the rest is history; IBM’s ThinkPad division was sold to the Red Chinese Army or whatever communist sponsored collection over there desired it.

American’s might learn something from Charles Martel’s cultural war victory that could apply today perhaps, yet I’m not sure what that would be, except that the nature and speed of global power allocations have changed in 1400 years, and that politicians in D.C. should need to put some intention on keeping this nation liberated from reliance on importing fuel and autos that require vast cash deficit outlays. The nation had energetic and inventive founders seeking to build a better mousetrap, today the nation may have acquired a mass produced complacency that Toynbee might have described in his book ‘The Greeks’ in which development of peoples were compared based upon their relation to environmental and geographic challenges. Too little geographical and environmental challenge produced a lazy people, indolent or complacent, and too much overcame their ability to cope producing an arrested civilization. Perhaps the success of American industrialism, military and economics has produced a people without sufficient good judgment to moderate excesses of corruption, decadence or to discover virtue in national self-reliance so far as too avoid dangerous over-reliance on imports. The founder’s rational would have produced another way of equally efficient personal transport beside fossil fueled imports.

International Core of Nuclear Plant Ops for Iran?

The Iranian desire to become an enricher of uranium for weapons production is one side...the dark side, of their plan to produce electricity from nuclear power plants built in Iran. For some reason there are politicians in Europe and the United States and probably Israel that aren't comfortable with an Iran in the elite and dangerous nuclear weapons owning fraternity, especially if they had No Dong II missiles or the Jihadeem Islamic missile launcher (a generic title). An additional problem with an Iranian clump of nuclear energy plants is that Iran is unstable enough to rate involvement in some future war with other nations besides the United States, Europe or Israel, and whatever 'warriors' strike Iran will probably target the nuclear facilities as good tools for trimming the Iranian population with nuclear fallout. An additional derivative problem is that the nuclear meltdowns of Iranian plants at high altitude especially will contaminate other nations on Earth that are downwind.

The potential problems with Iran underline the need for an International Nuclear Facilities Operation Union to be available to work at any international nuclear plant facility that has lost its operating personnel right away when emergency calls. Russian's negotiations with the Iranians that would take charge of the Iranian enriched gases for processing outside for processing is a step in that direction yet it isn't adequate perhaps to satisfy the Iranians that don't want their uranium processed outside their Nation.

An international union of nuclear plant operators could operate nuclear plants when political situations deem it necessary to maintain peace, or when plagues or revolutions have decimated the ranks of available plant operators locally. One of the largest problems on Earth today for the existence of life is that of nuclear plants melting down in the event of some unexpected biological or war situation that reduces the available number of plant operators. An international core of nuclear plant operators should be taken to pre-planned survival shelters in the event of any sort of mass world genetically engineered plague that hasn't possibility of bioremediation other than isolation. The international core of plant operators might be just ten thousand, yet it could supply plant operators that are internationally trustworthy to operate Iran's nuclear plants, and to safeguard its fuel, while Iran would have all of the electricity it could need.

The problem of storage of nuclear waste is another problem that is being created by Iran’s desire to pursue nuclear plant development instead of fuel cells. Georgia is experiencing an energy shortage that could be relieved by a development of home fuel cell power units and quality home insulation production and installation. Georgia and Russia should be leaders in the production of low cost home fuel cell and ceramic heater units, as the United States tends to not get out of the starting blocks on anything environmentally rational while the fossil fuel administration is filling its patron's cash accounts during the two terms.

The Exxon Valdez spill was never yet settled, and its interesting that nearly 20 years later the power of a global corporation with huge profits the judgment against it is yet unpaid. Many of those individuals alive at that time probably have died of old age while the institutional corporatist power to accomplish legal aloofness that individuals cannot is exemplified.

A nation's leaders must watch out for the best interests of their own citizens and not just those of global economic powers in a sort of treasonous choice to place their own national interests second.Isolation isn't the alternative to practical prioritization of national interest, as communicsm isn't the only alternative to corporatism in which the richest corporations globally drain individuals of individual capital accumulation, inventive patenting and competive opportunity. Instead a nation's politicians may support policy that advantages local people, and the local environment first with intention put on radical alterity to eliminate deficit generating situations by support of creative local alternative industrial start-ups and allocation of alliances.
