Before a New Song ©2011GaryCGibson (poem)

Black holes tie up mass in knots
punctuation points in space
far apart

Evenly distributed in infinity mass was
with no center of contingent space to draw nigh
not even the intervals in virtual particle spacing

A drop in the bucket to inflate
space and time together expanding
faster than light oil in water

The brilliant sheen of many colors
temperatures, order, reducing from The One
singular condition of proximal expansion

A wave of space-time concentricity directed
upon the placid, infinite space-time emptiness
mass-energy tumbling like detritus in an avalanche

Stretching forever within the infinite
temporality phenomenalized, past
unraveled quarks, strings returning to silence.

President Obama Defends Libyan Faith Based Revolution

The recent Libyan revolution began without more than a prayer that either Moamar Khadafy would flee at first street protest or President Obama would eventually blast Khadafy’s military to smithereens with cruise missile, bombers and etc. In a speech delivered about ten days after the main phase of the air war started providing close air support to route Khadafy’s forces, the President defended his humanitarian intervention that saved 'thousands of lives' and allowed the rebels to leave their Benghazi stronghold to advance toward Tripoli.

President Obama has plainly made the United States the 800 pound guerilla expressing a desire to throw Col. Khaddafi over the top rope one way or another.

It is useful to review a couple of points of the President’s logic for intervention.

http://www.usnews.com/opinion/blogs/Jamie-Stiehm/2011/03/29/obamas-libya-speech-put-the-best-possible-face-on-his-policy

1) President Obama could have asked Congress for permission to safeguard rebel controlled cities with U.S. air power before Col. khaddafi9 advanced Libya toward Benghazi slaughtering hundreds or thousands on the way; he might not have required piles of dead revolutionaries as a justification to enter the war via the U.N.

2) The United States could have provided relocation assistance for doomed rebels in Benghazi with air, land and seem evacuation to safety instead of militarily intervening.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton mentioned three ambiguous points speaking to N.A.T.O. in Europe recently. Her third point of the Clinton corollaries to the Obama Doctrine of Protection for Revolutionaries was somewhat difficult to interpret. It was something like 'Revolutionary actions must be supported by change'. This point reminds me of an explanation for a justification for extending the general theory of relativity in a book on loop quantum gravity I have been reading recently.

Fundamentally, that book mentioned the metaphor of the singularity stopping the flow of a continuum such as occurs at a black hole theoretically. Such stoppage can happened when a faucet is turned off and just a drip of space-time or revolutionary change gets through. One must extend the space-time continuum of revolutionary paradigm in some what if organizing a revolutionary criterion.

That point was not well developed by Einstein or Hillary Clinton either. Fore we foresee a grab bag of revolutionary issues in the Middle East ahead that will distract from transitioning to a green, low entropy economy in the United States in addition to creating full employment or at least a minimum guaranteed income for the unemployed.

Where is the moral good, one might wonder, in failing to assassinate Moamar Khadafy if the United States administration is determined to have him go, with no place to go? Thousands of lives would have been saved and still could be with one bullet to the head of The Supreme Guide of Libya. It is difficult to understand why the promulgation of The Big Lie of public propaganda must go on, that the war machine and scores of spook agencies must have full employment and another region of conflict to engage in should be preferable, in addition to the failure to avoid loss of rebel life, failure to file comprehensive environmental impact statements for war activities-when the assassination of The Leader would be far more cost effective of lives, treasure and endangered Libyan species.

I would have preferred a peaceful transition over time as Moamar Khadafy faded away instead of a bloody, violent revolution. Technological progress would have made the dictatorship obsolete in due course it is possible.

If Moamar Khadafy seeks to flee, will the United States allow him to load up his truck convoy with 6 billion in gold and drive south perhaps to refuge in The Ivory Coast, Liberia or some other African nation? Realistically, when Hillary Clinton demands that Khadafy leave, she is demanding that he suicide, for like the former East German Leader Kurt Honaker, he has no where on Earth to go.

Melting Antarctic Icebergs Stimulate Phytoplankton Growth/Chlorophyll/CO2 Absorption

Global warming that may accelerate the loss of ice in Antarctic may be a last line of defense against global warming. Nature seems to have several built in elements to moderate global temperature. It would be wise not to overuse the last ecospheric reserves to absorb carbon dioxide and reduce atmospheric greenhouse gassing effects from human causation.

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/03/110325164224.htm?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+sciencedaily+%28ScienceDaily%3A+Latest+Science+News%29&utm_content=Google+Feedfetcher

In the world's history the atmospheric temperature is believed to have risen significantly before. Also it is believed that high temperatures caused by greenhouse gassing from odd sources such as excessive volcanism or perhaps a thin planetary proto-crust moderated eventually. Temperatures would tend to reflect the primary relationship values of distance from Earth from the heat of the sun, and there may be other factors such as heat from the Earth's hot subsurface in effect too. Just because the melt water from Antarctic icebergs may promote sea plant or phytoplankton growth, it doesn't mean that it will compensate entirely or even mostly for the lowered albido (reflectivity) of vast land mass areas in the north as winter and snow cover decreases annually.

In fact, it seems unlikely that the increase absorption of CO2 caused by the loss of ice from Antarctica would even compensate for the increasing loss of coverage of the Arctic ice cap annually with the increasing heat absorption of the Arctic Ocean.

Square Roots of Minus Dimensions ©2011 GaryCGibson (poem) & Resurrection Points

The neo-Platonist philosopher Plotinus wrote about how The One might have emanated the Universe. Actually the creation of the Universe is a great mystery for finite minds. Cosmological physicists think about the topic all the time though, and sometimes irreverently regard the sketch of order of Genesis from the Bible. We trust in God though for creating Universes more than ourselves. Scientists regard its origin sometimes as a substance that just naturally arose from nothing and/or without cause in some cases finding mathematical logic to support a recycling perpetual recurrent universe.

I too wonder how the One might have created a Universe that arrives as a great tree of life. The idea of the unmoved mover seems best; the Creator of the Universe Himself has no cause as He always existed. Without the mathematics that provide so many excellent sets, infinite series, differential and integral fields to structure models of Universe from I am left to poetics and prose.

Jesus mentioned in John 11 some interesting points when he set about resurrecting his dead friend Lazarus. Before I write my poem below, let me point out what Jesus said about the light not being in man.

The friend of Jesus had died, and Jesus talked of the light not being in man hence he stumbles in the dark. Jesus was addressing four or five points simultaneously it appears. He was talking about the problem of sin in mankind (people had sought to stone him) and referring to those people as being in spiritual darkness who did not see the light of the world (God) Jesus Christ, and he was also referring to his dead friend Lazarus who had not life in himself any more (a lack of quarks or strings configured to produce life), furthermore, being dead, Lazarus could not negotiate in the world beyond without resurrection. That was a hint of the spiritual world to come in which actual spiritual resurrection occurs better than physical resurrection such as would be done for Lazarus soon.

John 11" 1Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.
2(It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)
3Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.
4When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
5Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.
6When he had heard therefore that he was sick, he abode two days still in the same place where he was.
7Then after that saith he to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.
8His disciples say unto him, Master, the Jews of late sought to stone thee; and goest thou thither again?
9Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
10But if a man walk in the night, he stumbleth, because there is no light in him.
11These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.
12Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.
13Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.
14Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead."

Then we move to the scene of the resurrection of Lazarus. Jesus actually wept in this setting-the only time He is known to have done so as he felt so bad about losing His friend to death. This is good. It indicates that God took seriously the issue of the death of a human being, and knows that resurrection is important to us humans.

John 11"
33When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled.
34And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.
35Jesus wept.
36Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!
37And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?
38Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.
39Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.
40Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
41Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
42And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
44And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go."

Square Roots of Minus Dimensions
Seven dimensions
fully expanded with many screens
filtering waveforms travelling through
appearing in some places never dreams
providing anticipated shapes
regular material forms
unto shorelines of three dimensions
motion of space a forth norm
Mass hasn’t light within
Finding darkness forever he stumbles
-unless the light of the world resurrects
his life breath he fumbles
Many dimensions ever could be
groups and subgroups of infinite series
wavetrains journey an infinite sea
clumps of forms afloat temporally shine
Square roots of minus dimensions
multiply themselves by one
generating synthetic positives
from a mid-point of eternity
seeming like modal logic of The One.

Stumbling Upon A Theoretical Universe ©2011GaryCGibson (poem)

It is as if the man has neutrino vision
or something better than quarks
able to see through boundary walls
into other Universes

Those hidden universes beyond nothing
where the tiny little dimensions
wrapped like sugary scones vanish away
and beyond jumbo extra dimensions
next to dimensions greater or less than
all dimensions in SU(3) groups

The Universes from one source
stuck in a perpetual motion recycling ruts
linear thinking warped impossibly tight with space-time
gravity and pre-gravitational clusters force
seldom released faster than light speed
with so many things unknown to sub-light speed dimensional beings

A vast tree of life and non-life
with circles, arrows, vectors, tangents, sines and consines of change
integers, imaginary numbers and things real enough
to be road maps to chaos where all turn away from singularity
like infinities of finite sets divided forever in every direction
scenarios that seem like dreams
with remote controls fading away
the structures of universes extrude into thought
as information from outside compiling
anti-Shannon entropy.

Japanese Nuclear Facility Leaking Radioactive Water-May Be a Reactor Containment Vessel Leak

In the future it might be useful to build some kind of competent global emergency nuclear plant response plan to pump out radioactive water into a specially designed ship instead of screwing up the world's oceans. Using the oceans as a waste dump isn't really acceptable policy.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/03/25/us-japan-idUSTRE72O5QL20110325


Also, some sort of a special emergency super-coolant deliver capacity to cool off over heated reactors quickly and respond to removing the reactor to some safe place like the inside of a volcano might need to be developed. Plainly the present technological methods for responding to nuclear emergencies don't work well enough.

Radioactive waste, British Petroleum oil; industrial toxic contributions are becoming a regular thing for the world ocean.

Pressurized Yemeni Leader Moves Closer Toward Exit

Yemen's leader has offered to leave with strings attached.

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/26/world/middleeast/26yemen.html?partner=rss&emc=rss

The economy of Yemen as its comparatively small oil reserves dwindle to nothing could modernize to a winter resort for yachts on its fabulous southern ocean frontage. Yemen's Mohmadanist extremists conditioned to desert life may choose to support terrorism instead and maybe find some oil work in Saudi.

Extremists against solar power, desalinization of seawater, hydroponic gardening, electric cars and fuel cells are also against some right and wrong moral things. The rest of the world has such issues too. It would be good if the occurrence of moral arguments did not inevitably displace innocent economic progress.

The Obama Protection Doctrine for Libya Explained Monday; Yemen, Ivory Coast Next?

Letting the good military times roll, President Obama will speak on why the United States is serving as the rebel Libyan Air Force Monday. Meanwhile concerns grow that the United States and or the U.N. may be asked to intervene in the precipitating civil war in the Ivory Coast. Perhaps the President will announce the creation of a U.N. Condor Legion of warthog ground attack fighters, stealth fighters and F-15s as a ready reserve to reinforce global rebels seeking to overthrow governments that have control of vital natural resources such as oil or cocoa (Ivory Coast).

http://www.vancouversun.com/under+pressure+Ivory+Coast+teeters+edge+civil/4508564/story.html

Several potential nations have governments without a functioning democratic government that might be right for overthrowing. One just calls Washington 9-11 after starting a rebellion to borrow an Air Force and military. The Obama Protection Doctrine will be a humanitarian door to war.

Of course one sympathizes with free and democratic government that represents the best interests of the people-I wish we had one in the U.S.A. instead of a globalist cabal seeking to expand market share in antipathetic regions. I am surprised to learn that Libya has a history of supporters of actual democracy that respect the rights of minorities. Maybe we will support a rebel movement in Yemen too if it seems to have a good prospect for winning with Air support.

Deamon-Douglas' Gay Liberace Flick-Exporting Wrong U.S. Moral Values

I knew no good thing would come of having someone with a demonic sounding name play Jason Bourne. Ludlum's action hero was more of a Stephen Seagal kind of guy that the rosy cheeked college sort of halfback from Nebraska. So the Hollywood or Devilwood inner nature has at last emerged in bringing the gay era not only out of the Pentagon-or perhaps the Pentagram, but over movie screens across the globe as well.

http://perezhilton.com/2011-03-25-matt-damon-and-michael-douglas-play-gay-lovers-in-liberace

Maybe the idea for the Obama administration is to queer up the world as best as possible (don't take offense at the term-I have learned that it was used at Harvard and other elite colleges for queer studies programs jargon) in order to help reduce population. personally I believe that a better way to control over-population besides queering things up is the way to go.

For at some point in a world radically queered some strait yet savage people will take offense and decide-heck, if over population's the problem let's just waste some of the population. You know, accidents just happen and so go the carefully laid plans of mice and men.

The film industry probably is a redoubt for homosexual chic, yet the exporting of American values and approaches to moral directions may be a bit over-the-top in some cases. Though white people comprised just 1% of U.S. population growth the past decade while hispanics were 43% of the increase, that's no reason to push homosexual training upon them, as perhaps was a dark side inuendo of the TV show Chico and the Man of yore that may have had something to do with the suicide of the actor Freddy Prinz (or not).

While tolerance for the civil rights of all human beings is necessary, so should tolerance of the moral norms of people that choose not to have a sin-based normalization of society. Population growth control can be achieved with ecological economic rectification of America and the world simultaneous with education. Perverting society will make that harder to achieve.

New Steam Engine Design for In-Space Travel

An interesting report at space.com on a design for an electro-thermal engine making steam to thrust the ship forward (it goes out nozzels on the back of the spaceship). It would be powered with water.

Hopefully the water would not be taken from Mars, or the Moon (ice) where it is a finite resource. If space ships must use water, it should be taken from comets or other ice beyond Pluto (and they should not use Pluto for fuel).

Its an interesting idea, yet somewhat backwards. Earth is where water should be used for fuel, and space use ions or photons, dirt or electro-magnetic fields or some substance such as methane or hydrogen possibly from one of the moons of Saturn or jupiter.

Leibniz, The Infinitesimal Calculus and Identity and Individuality in Quantum Mechanics

In a way, I am making a note about this topic for later reference. Reading a history book on select math developments such as calculus the subject of infinitesimally small intervals arose, and of course quantum mechanical 'objects' are also very small if not practically infinitesimally small because their measurements are difficult to make with standard measuring sticks.

http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/qt-idind/

In fact measuring the location or a speed of some very small objects is possible yet a little bit inconclusive since abstracting just one characteristic of a speeding quantum particle may actually change its nature.

In calculus it seems that there was a similar problem in measuring the speed or location of an object along a wavy line (sinusoidal) or even a strait line representing speed or distance. One could get an instant speed at a point or the speed over an area averged. A refined guessing or reduction of areas crossed with rectangles using a hyped up Pythagorean math to determine areas was developed. I have no idea if there is a non-Euclidean calculus with a differnet, more difficult basis for computation.

Not to get off track and obscure-for I am not a mathematician, the infinitesimals of calculus and that of points or quanta are ponderables in proximity. The philosophical article in the link above is about identity and individuality in quantum mechanics-I guess, having not yet had time to read it yet.

About Black Hole Cygnus X1 and It's Magnetic Field That Polarizes Light

Space.com reported on discoveries about the behavior of light around the edge of the giant black hole Cygnus X1. The light should be formed as polarized by a very strong electro-magnetic field probably created by the 18 mile wide black hole.

http://www.space.com/11222-black-holes-cygnus-warped-space.html

The behavior of matter and light near a black hole is interesting for numerous reasons including what can be learned about fundamental forces of nature such as electro-magnetism, 'massless' photons, the properities if any of space and behavior of quarks and other sub-atomic particles near the presence of a very powerful gravitational field. Gravity is the most weak of the three major forces of nature in the standard model of physics (the other two are electro-magnetism or electroweak force and the strong nuclear force) so it is especially interesting when concentrated in places such as a black hole.

The power of gravity I suppose being one-directional with all that mass it just keeps crunching everything inward. That doesn't actually make a lot of sense, since space hasn't got any directions to it, so gravity perhaps locks of mass in such a way that it can't have a reverse at a certain point.

Faith is Required for Passage of a Federal Budget

Citizens observing Congress might disagree with a recent NPR claim that ‘there is no place for faith in the chaos’ of Congressional budgeting. That sounds a little like an untterance from an apostle of atheism. NPR probably has faith that the Democratic majority in the Senate will restore the half billion dollars of NPR funding that the House cut. Maybe they will lever all they can to pile on the support for globalist radio even so.

Full faith and credit in the value of the U.S. dollar is what keeps it afloat. Faith that the U.S. Congress will at some point return from their fiscal binge of protracted foreign wars and failure to focus on developing U.S. infrastructure instead of outsourcing work must exist if the members are not to despair.

Faith is what is required to overcome the chasm of uncertainty. Lack of confidence in one’s ability or in that of one’s fellow citizens can bring one to fail to cross the high bar of ecological economic national revitalization. Faith is what allows people to begin projects of vast scale and meaning when there seems little hope for success, or when the light at the end of the tunnel hasn’t yet become even a distant light in the darkness.

Congress must have faith that they shall overcome drinking the wine of the wrath of economic fornication on Wall Street and Iraq and restore sound judgment about the right role of government in democracy. Democratic representatives are not supposed simply to be yes men that say ‘let the market do it’ to every possible task they should work for themselves. One cannot suppose a market to decide what the condition of externalities to their for-profit activities should be, government cannot rely on market chaos to select what their security situation should become or who ought to provide it if anyone.

Passing a federal budget requires faith that God has provided a natural law and a spiritual inspiration that can be discovered. Pursuit of the intelligent, the good and beautiful, a health ecosphere and citizenry in government as well as life requires good budgeting of time, energy and financial resources. Congress must have faith instead of cynical despair in their fellow congresspersons and themselves that they can pass a balanced budget at some point in this lifetime or in that of their children or children’s children. They must suspend their skepticism and disbelief in a positive sum strategy and work for the social good. Bright ideas and intentional reform can occur in the U.S. Government-and they mustn't lose faith that such things might occur even in their own lifetimes.

Does President Obama Plan Cheap Oil Communist Utopia for Libya?

Down the road when the New World Order reaches Tripoli what sort of a redistribution of that country’s oil wealth will take place? Logically a nation with just one basic natural economic resource distributes its value equally to all citizens. The desert oasis ethic produces either equal portions of water to all or all water controlled by one authoritarian power (e.g. Col. Kaddafi).

Karl Marx and primitive European communists believed that wealth was manufactured and redistribution of products renormalized to a fair synthetic economy should occur, yet in a society with just one natural resource and lots of desert a communist government need never occur. Instead, people take their cash and go about their independent lives as libertarians. Distribution of wealth from the poor and middle class to the rich as wealth concentrates is another way that redistribution of wealth can occur such as presently in the U.S.A. through e-networking and inherent market advantages.

The trouble of defining distribution and redistribution is an ongoing issue in America. In fact we know the United States will not permit the bad example of a prosperous commune to form in Libya, so some veiled form of authoritarianism is likely to arise in the future. Libya has the situation of redistributing past wealth and distribution of present oil value before it. Nations without oil or with more than one rich natural resource should not try cash commune libertarianism at home.

The United States hasn’t itself solved the meanings of distribution or redistribution that primarily differ temporally; redistribution pertains to past production and distribution to present and new production. It is always fair to set new and more just distribution policies for social opportunity to accumulate wealth.

That is beyond the scope of this comment on what President Obama plans to make of Libya besides perhaps a chaotic political mess. Maybe the Libyan will become reconfigured into Jeffersonian liberals with enough propaganda from CNN or Al Jeezera, yet I am skeptical about that. Maybe the region will become as stable as the economy of the U.S.A. is with expert management of the U.S. budget and ignorance of the national interest in transitioning to a low entropy ecological economic policy-such a transition would likely require 25 years.

Pentagon Mouthpiece Says U.S. Will Continue to ‘Pressurize’ Libya

Pressurization is something like war. U.S. military flights flew 175 missions the past two days. Air Force General Margaret Woodward has coordinated the military liberalization of Libya with the full menu of million-dollar apiece missile entrées. Inflating Libya with military pressurization, the rebels of Libya may enjoy President Obama’s rich military attention. Yet they might expect some sort of pay back for the military pressurization in the future.

The disorienting leadership of the internationalist President Obama waging an out of country conflict while the incompetent congress can’t balance a budget must be somewhat amusing for the President who finds himself leader of the hapless lot of idiots pursuing global wealth while forsaking their own real national interests. That occurs in the decadent Universalist phase of an overly expanded nation-state.

The United States like ancient Rome began with the advantage of comparative isolation and security and borrowed brilliant innovating leaders and ideas from a previous civilization-then it prospered.

Eventually though the nation became a world leaders and expanded beyond its base losing its security and flooding its realm with global leadership. The rest is history; Rome fell and became a backwater subject to other powers of the world for the remainder of its existence unto modern times.

The military at least prosperous n the declining phase of decades or centuries taking a third of the federal budget. Sailors and marines can buy up the homes that are foreclosed upon by global lenders, and the unemployed can marvel at the high salaries of E-1s and observe four-stars moving into six and seven figure management jobs at defense contractors after ‘serving’ the people of the world ‘pressurizing’ foes of the Pentagon.

President Obama Opens Third Spatio-Temporal Military Front; Libya

With just two hours notice to congress President Obama opened a neo-proxy war last Friday to end the Kaddafi regime of Libya. The President has been running his little sideshow from a working vacation in South America for several days using ‘blackberry control’ for micro tasking his globalist wrath via the properly priced powers of the Pentagon.

The President didn’t call the donation of an air force and cruise missiles a war obviously. It was the establishment of a Col. Kaddafi’s Government no-fly zone in order to benefit the Rebel forces of Libya. At what point the rebels are rebels for protesting or firing a weapon at the Libyan army hasn’t been made clear.

Some sort of standard rules for determining who are or are not legal combatants might be useful if one believes such legalities are not mere anachronisms. In a legal context in which community law supersedes written law Leninist ends-justify-means principles seem to be in effect.

Some Americans still like plain legal demarcations and explicit social recognition of civil rights. Without equal and universal civil rights the government can readily becomes an enemy of the people of a nation domestically and for-others.

Modern methods of war and social lack of concern renders such preferences moot in some instances beyond posturing before the reality T.V. cameras of war for ratings.

Recently butched up U.S. military forces protecting the new gayzites of Liberalism-the potential plays on words are endless with an integral calculus of change-must bring about some sort of results in administration logic. One may wonder what the changes will be in Libya in years ahead.

President Obama seemingly has opened a destabilized state of affairs for Libya that could last a decade. The present civil war might go on for months or not. Regardless of the time it takes for the issue to be decided, it is unknown what sort of a government will emerge from the wreckage.

A Libyan government that is free and democratic probably will be too weak on secret police activity to repress terrorists. Suicide bombing may develop as a new Al Qa’eda of Libya arises to vie for power. If the government is genuinely democratic it may not be able to repress Muslim terror planning, and if not, it may liberally permit terrorists to plan attacks on Europe and the American east coast from its territory. Though these concerns are obvious, the new investment of time required to act for security in a newly destabilized nation fairly close to Europe and the U.S.A. is not.

In choosing to enter a third Muslim nation with antagonistic military power the administration has afforded an opportunity for Muslim propagandists to claim that America is a crusader nation bent on converting Muslims to the free market and consumerist atheism. That charge is difficult to refute.

What kind of non-Euclidian political calculus actually goes into U.S. foreign policy intervention planning is unknown to many. While the U.N. may have ordered the engagement to save civilian/rebel lives as an alternative to evacuating them by land and sea, the destabilization of Libya by removal of the Kaddafi government may endanger American lives in the years ahead.

If the duty of a U.S. President is to enact the will of congress and defend the United States, he has apparently done neither of those objectives in his Libyan venture that he says he will turn over to the participating powers in a few days…I am sure they will be very happy with that.

Presidents Washington and Eisenhower each had farewell speeches warnings of permanent foreign political alliances or engagements, of the dangers of a standing military or of the military industrial complex.

U.S. foreign policy opening up protracted and costly military actions in Muslim nations may involve a kind of Euclidean solid compiling and configuration strategy involving color and composition of uncertain parameters and variables. Domino theory was one games theoretical approach to nations, boundaries and war in 20th century politics. The U.S. administration needs to do better than that today, and lead an energy and ecology policy for economic effectiveness far better in quality than the military deployments choices that also lead to financial deficits and bad economic and ecological development examples for the rest of the world. The building blocks of international relations model shapes can be put together in a greater range than politicians seem aware of.

Opening the first conflict of the pentagon’s ‘Butch’ era of openly gay military ‘servants’ with a defense of Ben-Gay-zi Liberaliya seems somehow apropos for the confusion of U.S. roles on military and economic interest in the world today. At least Democratic Rep. Coup-sin-itch said that it might be an impeachable offense. Maybe Congress should pass some kind of law regulating foenetics.

Mathematical methods for modeling nations and political force interpolation abroad that require less military and more intelligent engagement are requisite for a U.S.A. fit to meet the global challenges for today and tomorrow.

Gravity and Photons

If gravity was like light
its particles scattering in all directions
from a source to flow with inertia across space
issued in a valence level at fixed speed
gravitons would issue in all directions
shifting frequency approaching or receding
effects would not be focused
to act upon distant objects equally as near
primary gravitational sources diluted with distance
inverse square laws, linear equations
becoming integrals of unknown areas of force
concatenations of mass never out of touch
imperfect circumstances for learning
such as experimentation on the affects of galaxies 20 billion light years away
only empty space in the midst and nothing beyond
differentials of theory
spheres of mass in four dimensional all-directional stream criteria

On Faith

I thought I would write a note about faith. Reading an interesting book on the historical development of select fields of mathematics I reached a place where the author commended Descartes method of philosophical introspection for first principles of knowledge. He suggested it as being exemplary of a method for self-help.

I enjoy reading philosophy and the meditations on a method have stimulated generations of people to consider basic assumptions about experience. Yet the axiom suggested; taking nothing on faith, seems implicitly invalid; this is why…

Experience of the world implicitly presents itself in structure. Today we might reduce our description for causation of the structure to physicalist processes relating to quantum theory; however it is at any rate structured and therefore heterodox in nature. One’s own conscious experience exists of a structured reality not generated by one’s own thought.

It might be popular for some moderns to suggest that a tabula rasa like existential appreciation of reality is requisite for making decisions about belief and subjective epistemological relationships to things external. It isn’t necessary to be so far existentially isolated in making myriad practical judgments about the world and of religious matters inevitably. Not all questions about faith in God or faith in Jesus Christ occur within a subjective, existential criterion though it may be popular to convince people that it is the case.

Let me provide a few examples about practical questions of faith compared to an abstract, existential paradigm for contemplating the meaning of faith.

Example 1-You are alone on a small, wet, cold island in Alaska with dwindling supplies. You have no batteries for communication devices and food is running low. A winter storm may occur so looking for food may be a good idea. A week before the fellow that dropped you off on the island said that he would return today at eleven. You have faith that he will return on time and so pack and are ready at the landing site instead of foraging for food somewhere else.

Example 2-The Japanese Army has invaded the Philippines. You are a local with a libertarian political philosophy the Japanese would repress. An American General evacuating the Philippines says ‘I shall return’. You have faith and fight the Japanese as an insurgent from the jungle with faith that one day the General will return to reinforce the resistance. Without faith, the prospects for resistance might have seemed futile.

3) Two thousand years ago a UFO visits the Earth and an alien named Morty gets off. Soon he instructs the villagers of a remote desert collection of ramshackle dwellings that someday in the distant future he will return to bring desalinating equipment in order to help make the production of fresh water and lemonade possible for less cost than rival villagers sell it for presently. All he needs now is the sacrifice of some barbecued goats to fuel his vehicle.

The villagers provide the goat meat and the alien departs in his UFO. A cult of faith develops that lasts quietly in the village for two millennia. It is not unreasonable for the villagers’ descendents to have faith that the UFO will return as promised with their water making equipment is it?

Example 4- A anthropologist is alone in an African jungle walking to a village. Suddenly she is aware that millions of army ants are moving her way. She walks faster and soon reaches a small ravine at the bottom of which is a crocodile infested creek.

There are two planks that cross over to the far side of the creek, and two men telling her to cross over their plank safety. One man accuses the other have being a deceiver, and that his plank is rotten and a death trap for western anthropologists. The other man is humble, and says he paid for the plank himself, knows it to be safe, and the only thing he charges to use it is faith.

The anthropologist chooses to have faith and crosses to safety before the woman eating army ants reach the barrier.

Example 5- Jesus Christ arrived on Earth about the year 3 B.C. and at age 30 began a three year ministry to evangelize the people of the world with the good news that He is God. If people have faith that He is God and paid for their sins with the sacrifice of His own life-and accept Him as their Savior-then he will take them unto heaven eventually and eternal life reconciled unto God the Father.

In other words, Christians are to have faith that Jesus Christ really plans to return to Earth one day, or otherwise liberate them from the bondage of mortal life and the problems of sin and evil. Faith that Jesus Christ will return is not an abstract intellectual or philosophical construction instead of a belief that a real man who lived at a particular moment in history actual was who he said he was, overcame death with resurrection and will return to wrap up his mission-to-Earth at some point in the future.

Faith in Jesus Christ is a belief in a particular individual and trust in His word.

Into Nothing Falls Space ©2011GaryCGibson (poem)

With the wondrous flow
space falls in every direction
for a coherent pattern is finite
structured harmonics of being’s accord go

Into nothingness space falls
dimensions and mass never weight
forming permutations of motion
being and nothingness of late
extend forever into subjectivity as all

All that is one uni-verse we know
flowing structured indeterminacy
particle-wave string shells
tide in knots slipping in time

Moving through spacescapes being together
changes of context in unusual weather
currents of mass-energy converted from one
enact each possibility in structures in fall
together with nothingness reaching toward all
that is one way of being and seeming
first light
shining within darkness
within ponderous night.

Kemp, Reagan, Concussions & Supply Side Tax Cuts

The 31% income tax cuts that Ronald Reagan signed into law were stimulated by the Kemp-Roth bill to cut income taxes 30%. The national debt more than doubled during the Reagan administration.

Congressman Jack Kemp was a pro football quarterback who handed off the football to O.J. Simpson playing for the Buffalo Bills. Perhaps Jack Kemp got several concussions like O.J. One wonders if O.J. was not the career leader in concussions since he was most of the expansion era Bill’s offense.

Ronald Reagan also played football albeit in college. He also served in world war two and of course contracted Alzheimer’s disease. Autopsies have shown that the brains of football player’s that have had several concussions shrink about 50% as much as those with Alzheimer’s. That is concussions cause Alzheimer’s scale brain damage if repetitive.

Kemp and Reagan, the two prime movers of 30% tax cuts for the rich each had the potential for brain damage during their political careers from football concussions and/or Alzheimer’s disease. Bill Clinton, who never played in more than a band, eliminated the tax cuts so far as possible.

One might wonder if there is a relationship between brain damage and support for very low federal income tax rates. Does cocaine use factor in to creating political belief that mass economic growth will pay for federal deficit spending by the trillions simultaneously with 30% income tax cuts Maybe, just for academic purposes, scientists might ask O.J. Simpson if he would allow his brain to be MR’d t determine I he has experienced significant brain damage from his football concussions. Simpson probably was the best fullback in the NFL history and on terrible teams ran the ball about every play averaging five yards a carry (approximately). Simpson may have played with concussions and ignored them as best as possible.
