Gen. Petraeus Walks the Plank from C.I.A. Top Deck

The Obama administration failed to provide any support to Special Operations Counter-Insurgency Expert former General Petraeus and in effect asked him to walk the plank the day after the Presidential election. Getting rid of a probable future Republican Presidential candidate that is not up to the moral standards of Bill Clinton and other Democrats was a convenient purging of the system.

General Petraeus was put through the public stocks in a manner of speaking for this Veterans Day because the F.B.I. discovered that the former four star had an extra-marital relationship with a journalist. First rule of the spook business-Don't talk to journalists!

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2012/11/11/fbi-cia-face-questions-about-petraeus-affair/1697237/

A more recondite administration might have readily salvaged the job of the counter-insurgency expert who needed time to adjust to the realities of the covert operations world. A good dressing down by the President in the Oval Office could have solved the problem, ended the relationship and began the reconstruction of amended relationship for the Petraeus family. As it was the task was completely bungled. The General was not even given the opportunity to leave the job to 'attend to family interests'.

Chiaroscuro constructions sheltering the covert operations world seem to have moved from the gray area to the realm of the scarlet letter.  With an administration that has trashed traditional morality in military affairs and even those of support for gay marriage in Massachusetts and New York, the display of Puritanism is rather remarkable.

The C.I.A. since 9-11 has devolved into being like a Soviet-era K.G.B. Directorate along with the F.B.I. and Homeland Security under the Boss of Bosses at National Intelligence Director James Clapper (who sounded the gong for General Petraeus).

Plainly Ms. Broadwell used exceptionally poor judgement in sending harassing e-mails to a woman in Florida yet an eventual disclosure of the Petraeus affair would not have completely gutted Petraeus' job as  C.I.A. chief. Many Americans believe the morality of the media is like unto that of rabbits of various bunny ranches in pursuit of stories or advantage and that the morals of congresspersons is little better. Exposing the nation to intelligence failures by deleting an expert in counterinsurgency theory doesn't seem terribly intelligent when that situation could have been repaired.

Military officers have strict moral codes against adultery that evolved historically I supposed to prevent dueling and fragging among the troops. The General probably followed those mores and folkways and even laws well, and certainly needed to be an advocate of them. The media don't seem to understand that the General's condemnation of adultery while in the service was a part of his role as a General Officer and not something that he should have been fired for. Perhaps the Republicans will find some way to forgive the General for his offense against common sense and rehabilitate him enough to bring him into Party work some day.

President Obama to Speak to Fiscal Lemmings About Von Pied Piper Plan

President Obama will speak in a few minutes on the problem of the steps the Lemmingway Congress is making to jump off the budgeting edge into the abyss of fiscal doom awaiting herd mind driven mammals without good accounting procedures or budgeting. It should be exciting to find out if the Pied Piper can lead the lemmings to reason.

Why Mitt Romney Lost

The plutocratic Republican challenger in the 2012 Presidential election Mitt Romney lost by two percentage points-one more at 48% than the notorious 47% mentioned behind closed doors. He probably lost the winning margin because of the Republican Party attitude of disdain for global warming theory. Two well-known Republican leaders (Bloomberg & Powell) jumped ship late in the campaign as if chased by the furies and banshees together to the Obama mansion.

Rush Limbaugh and Mark Levine's 1950's style Americana appeal to moral conservatives seems a losing battle with the new Afro-American/Hispanic/Homosexual/Feminist majority able to ride rough-SUV's over the best scrooge appeals they can make to cut back on social welfare safety nets. In the new Alien-led America where global interests and an open (if revolving) door with Mexico seems the norm (some Chinese though Mr. Obama 'cute') provisioning a viable social safety net is simply a Republican challenge that winners will need to support.

President Reagan won his large majorities largely because he accentuated the positive even as a conservative. Americans will vote for positive change rather than cut backs. While they won't vote for repression they will vote for more and better of whatever. The disingenuous austerity advocated by the two millionaires Republican candidates seemed to sound to many like 'let the poor eat dirt', and that's a hard product to sell.

In the new alien America where twitterheads talking abroad seems more valuable to the millionaires at NPR than the real need to provide incentives for corporations and government contractors to hire those out of work longest, and where the Obama administration first term failed to extend the alternative energy tax credit for a decade or let the Bush era tax cuts expire it is obvious that a spoiled middle class without concern for anything besides their own comfort will be difficult to bring back into corporate servitude.

The Democrat middle class elements want to blame the rich for the Congress disingenuously, since the middle class are the majority and if they were themselves competent politically the state of the nation through Congress would work much better. The Congress is the middle class value monstrosity in the flesh.

The new non-white racial electorate majority influence in Presidential elections would need to be brought over to the Republican column now and then not through token leadership and promises to let a few more illegal aliens become voters, but through positive programs that realistically promote the well being of individual citizens and environmental health.

The Democratic Party blundered badly in the first Obama term on environmental issues failing to at all transform the national economy into that of a lower entropy producing, resource depleting composite biosphere life form factor. Perhaps life on Earth is doomed anyway with the airhead policies of the spoiled Federal Government and middle class unable to get beyond their ad hoc planned economy that substitutes inertial corporate consumerism for communes. Instead of letting banks, home owners, investors and Detroit bite the bullet on their business perfidies the dependence on the 'too big to fail' planned economy determined that nothing would change.

The non-white voting block (95% of blacks and 70% of Hispanics) that put another term of an intellectually retired Harvard lawyer back in the White House is as concerned about global warming and mass global disaster as anyone I suppose. They would not be reassured by the Scrooge Limbaughs that the science is all a hoax. Why vote for the rich that say global warming is a hoax and wants the poor to be starved into working for nothing while the rich earn more from their interest in a day that the broke will earn in a lifetime if they actually ever had a job?

Economic planning is requisite for a demographically intensely populated society with limited living space. It is simply a convenient lie to pretend that the sort of unplanned wilderness economic situation of America in the 19th century could work in the U.S.A. today. There are a zillion levels of planned economic support and infrastructure development programs in existence from road and bridge construction to public education, airports and Homeland security. Without recognition of the implicit fact of ossified social structure and its historical inertia as a planned economy it is very difficult to change anything substantively for the good or even to protect free enterprise from the co-option off the main corporate concentrations of wealth that the left so desires to move into at the upper levels through socialist corporatism.

The challenge is to meaningfully comprehend what parameters need to be planned, set or revised to achieve the goals of full employment, environmental recovery and elimination of public debt. Then the government can set free enterprise to go to work to achieve what it can to accomplish those objects.

If an appeal to repress horse flatulence and h.s. in urban areas in 1910 was all that was offered to voters, New Yorkers would still be shoveling thousands of tons of manure. Instead Henry Ford offered a better way, and that is an approach that would still work for Republicans in the future if they are in the future, morally worth voting for as differentiated from the godless, atheist immorality of the Democratic Party

Can the Earth be Used to Filter Salt Out of Saltwater?

With several high, dry deserts on Earth it would be useful if their natural elevation features could be exploited to filter the salt out of seawater piped in to make sweet water. I have no idea if deep Earth filtration would remove the salt from water. Its simply an idea I haven't time to research but wanted to note before moving on.

Experimentation would need to be in a laboratory to learn if salt crystals can be removed from H20 flowing through several miles of various sorts of sub-surface dirt, rock, gravel and etc. One might also want to discover what the optimal sort of water trap would be to consolidate salt for other uses.

Plainly a field test would need to very careful. If Afghanistan had fresh water piped up from the Indian Ocean and simply released salt water to flow downhill into the groundwater of India or Pakistan fouling wells that would be very bad. On the other hand, if the salt was removed early on and fresh water emerged downhill or at least was available to wells in a higher water table that would be good.

One Solution for Japanese-China Island Dispute

The next President will have to deal with the Japan-China Island dispute. Japan traditionally defeated China in offshore naval battles and probably still would do so except for their non-nuclear, self-defense force posture taken up after losing the Second World War. China on the other hand, is swelling with increased wealth and power and desires control of some offshore islands of zero human population hence they harass the Japanese Coast Guard etc.

http://www.businessweek.com/ap/2012-11-05/china-relentlessly-harries-japan-in-island-spat

There is a good non-military solution for this sort of thing. A global ecosphere conservancy should take control of any islands and surrounding ocean-floor land with disputed title and make a no-fishing or commercial use marine recovery sanctuary of them. What happens otherwise is that the human population harvests to death any natural resources and contributes to the decline and death of marine ecosphere species diversity and plenty.

Without numerous marine sanctuaries their is no place for small fish and sea creatures to grow large. If there are sanctuaries then the fishing is better outside those commercial areas.

The next President should instead of just militarily reinforcing our Japanese ally propose that a U.N. ecosphere conservancy be established to bring green peace and social tranquility to hotly contested island possessions.

Much Extra-Galactic Light Quantified by Fermi Gamma Ray Telescope

The Goddard Space Flight Center at N.A.S.A. released data and images illustrating discoveries by the Fermi Gamma Ray Space Telescope. Gamma ray emissions made in Blazars-vast black holes at the center of large galaxies that emit jets of gamma rays outward as matter drops to the event horizon enable astrophysicists to determine the amount of extra-galactic light emitted over-all by the stars created during the history of the Universe.
Cosmologists believe that photons first escaped a very hot plasma field 300,000 years after inflation and that the first stars formed 400 million years later as gravity collected enough hydrogen together to let fusion occur and some helium to form in the well known fundamental fusion process that is only .007% efficient.

The Fermi Space Telescope observed light attenuated by age and travel that was emitted 9.8 billion years ago. Astronomers calculate from the data that stars average spacing inn the Universe is 4,150 light years apart. Yet it is also known that the matter of the Universe is generally spaced like filaments of a web or lattice filled with vast empty spaces without known matter as the practical consequence of gravitational attraction.

Matter is an interesting thing. Human beings are themselves mostly made of nothingness with vast spacing between the electrons and protons around which the electrons orbit. The orbit of particles such as electrons around a nucleus is created by the appearance of a wave with a frequency oscillating by the attraction of other forces balanced out in tow or more dimensions inward and outward.

Mass jitters at the smallest known scale. The jittering of quantum uncertainty is different from that of the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle that is more about the interference of observers in making measurements of sub-atomic particles. Quantum jittering or high-frequency oscillation (I guess) is what what allows motion, or is motion and change in all mass.

The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle is concerned with the problems of measuring the location or speed of the wave at a particular location. That makes it seems like a particle when it is probably a wave. A wave that orbits as a line around a nucleus though might well be regarded as a circle or loop however with oscillations or frequency. On the other hand, tracking the history of a particle traveling at the speed of light continuously corrected by attraction of its course inward by the momentum to go in a straighter course outward, if it travels near the speed of light over a short enough distance would make it seem near enough to being a continuous looping wave.

The behavior of gravity at the macro scale warping space-time is comparable to the behavior of orbiting force-protocols of sub-atomic particles I suppose. Because a particle oscillates and seems to be in different locations at different times, time exists. Time is obviously a characteristic of motion and allocation of forces in protocols from small to large and in shape and size from Higgs Bosons unto planets and black holes.
The interesting thing though is that it is the being and nothingness of a universal field that contains all potential space-time and Universes or multi-verses that is the mystery or enigma. For with one appearance of differentiation from God diving being from nothingness or oscillations of force anisotropy the generation of the host of particles, mass and space-time becomes existent.

One certainly wonders about the phenomenon of determinism at the subatomic scale. The wave-particles seem to be force quanta allocated within determined strengths because with more or less increments or power they would annihilate or spin off someplace else. If there were no uncertainty or oscillating jitter in the quantum field nothing at all would happen nor would matter form, yet if it were in any way random neither would anything be likely to exist.

Human thought is entirely determined yet intentional subjective behavior and change is possible as an innate event-process. The elect of God are in conformation with the determinism of the Universe toward His purpose.

Scene 4: Inventing Content for the Hyperbook

 The scene in which a science fiction author designs content for a new book might occur with the traditional paper book morphing into a book with pages that collect photons for recharging, has transparent and flexible blank pages that display content uploaded from implicit storage. The book pages would be as programmable as any video display screen. The reader would buy just a book or two of different sizes per decade and binding might store thousands of titles to fill out the pages as desired.

The programmable book would have the traditional ambiance and full size, lasting display qualities of hard and soft cover paper books without wasting forests. Adobe PDF format ebooks could be a model for content that would fill out pages with traditional pagination (numbers, font, size, paragraphing, illustrations, photos, etc.

In the hyper-book one would never make the error of judging a book by its cover since one would choose the cover for-oneself. The cover would be as programmable as the content of the book. The science fiction writer would liberty for different concerns such as how to represent quantum indeterminacy in three or more dimensions on two-dimensional pages.

Hot Air of Obamanomics Attempts Inflation of Bush II Policy Balloon

 President Obama has continued George W. Bush's economic policy since 9-11 of tax cuts and deficit spending to pump prime the economy. Reliance upon kindling to start a fire can be expensive when there is nothing to burn besides because the wood wasn't chopped. The U.S. economy may have a hard time catching fire with so many drafts, constraints and dangers to the environment and its resources from that internal engine of combustion.

President Bill Clinton's intelligence failures led to the sacking of Glass-Steagle and the rise of Moslem terrorist threats to the U.S. and eventually 9-11. President Obama continued that failure with his present foreign intelligence team in Benghazzi and depleted the intellectual capital inherited from the Bush II years that developed the capture of Osama Bin Laden and wrapping up of the Iraq troop deployment.

It is President Obama's continuation of G.W. Bush's economic policy of tax cuts and deficit spending that is the major threat to U.S. economic stability ahead. Perhaps there will be a natural readjusting downward economic collapse ever decade or two cycling the deficit spending based economy.

With the immediate economic slump in the U.S. following the twin attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon the two wars against Iraq and Afghanistan stimulated the U.S economic without being paid for with increased taxes. Like Obama deficit spending the wars were economic stimuli added to the U.S. public debt. President Bush did not know of the flimsy Clinton era reforms of banking and home mortgages well enough to anticipate better than most Wall Street forecasters that the U.S. economy could not survive the economic stress of two wars or tax increases. President Bush cut taxes to stimulate economic growth and in December 2010 President Obama was the head cheerleader for renewing the Bush II tax cuts for the remainder of his administration.

With twelve years of deficit spending to stimulate and economic that transitioned from bloated no-competition defense contractor outlays to quantitative easing (printing dollars to buy U.S. bonds) with trillion dollars annual federal budget deficit the U.S. economy cannot even keep pace with population growth in job creation or environmental inspiration. The hot air of deficit financed growth paying down trillion dollar annual federal budget deficits is a failure to recognize the continuity of an economy misfiring since 9-11 that needs fundamental reform and a different economic approach.

I would like to point out that the United States could be a leading example in showing how democracy and team enterprise can lift all citizens out of poverty rather than circling the wagons around a declining middle class attacked on all sides by their own lack of political intelligence. A real perpetual democratic revolution in the U.S.A. would renormalize from the growth of large stable and ad hoc elitist organizational hegemony to one of individualistic enterprise and legal egalitarianism. The United States should assure that no citizen lacks the basic food, transport, shelter and minimum cash income needed to get the citizen out of circumstantial economic whirlpools of oppression that cannot be escaped.

The pursuit of enlightened self-interest and the concurrent pursuit of happiness require that individuals have the actual opportunity to do so. A modern democracy should limit the size of corporations and the number of corporations an individual can invest in to let government and political expression per citizen be more meaningful. The broadcast media should be reallocated to individual citizen podcast slices. If the media at the time of the revolution were owned by just the rich it is probable that less support for the revolution would have developed.

For democracy to mature as a political form it must trust its own citizens enough to not feel a need to repress them in place trough economic oppression. For many modern intellectual enterprises economic stability is required even for basic ventures such as writing computer programming or other intellectual capital development investments of time. If an author must go without electricity and live in the stone age of a yurt annually his or her productivity will decline-and that's simply socially extravagant profligacy.

If the United States cannot mature in governance to reform democracy such that it really works for all citizens (and secure no-immigration borders are requisite of rationing governance) it isn't likely that any nation shall. The citizens need to be encouraged to be active, healthy and intelligent all of their lifetime. They should be able to be reactive to environmental challenges and arrest the decline of life on Earth. U.S. citizens should also have the intellect to create better lifestyles and dwellings without displacing the ecosphere in which human life coheres. If the United States cannot run a balanced budget and improve the lives of their citizens from the bottom up then who can?

The down side of being a nation of immigrants is that they can be fair seas sailing opportunists steeped in avarice that flee from significant changes and challenges that require if not sacrifice at least diversion from unreasoned consumerism. If the economy and environment are in decline in then U.S.A. well heck, why not just invest over the border?

One Theory About Too Much Government

There have been many theories about too much government being the problem for American economic health. Sometimes that is so, sometimes it isn't. The neo-narco state of Mexico has too little governing law enforcement in some respects, while a Soviet style state of insider party apparatchicks can be too much obviously. It is not only the quantity of government that is an issue, it is also a matter of government quality and orientation.

Petro-state governments have a cadre of insiders with cynched earnings from oil sales. The width of the dispersion of wealth may be decisive on the economic opportunities of the masses.

Government jobs in a variety of forms may be broadly available to many purchasing in effect social compliance and legions of followers with no interest in getting their head from under the hood of the machine especially if the resources are high and population low, and especially if there are opportunities for global corporations to outsource much of the natural wealth as the locals have been paid off. The insiders need to limit competetive private sector developments to maintain their power structure and a happy camp develops including payments to educational facilities and revenue sharing to municipalities. That social structure is intolerant of actual competitive economic development.

http://www.myspace.com/garycgibson/music/playlists/my-playlist-213184 Sault St Marie by Three Dog Night

Some may regard the development of oil and gas resources in the U.S.A. recently through fracking as a movement toward pertro-statehood and the alternative economic development retardation that follows. A nation of oil followers burning fossil fuels moving toward 500 p.p.m. of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere globally seems a phenomenal trend. Instead of intelligent political leadership the nation since Bill Clinton has moved toward corporate statehood-even the Premeir of Communicst China's family has taken billions of dollars in lifestyle enhancement evidently as the urge to surge toward resource consumption and pure material production without intelligent limits has corrupted many social ecosystems.

Too much government can occur without a petro-state though. Simply building up state unions and bureaucrats with too large of numbers can require that very little social changes besides enhancing union benefits occur. The primary goals for ad hoc bureaucratic socialism arr to redistribute wealth from the corporate world to government workers, dependents and contractor friends. Too much redistribution can be a daylight vampire predation upon the corpororate herd of course bring low economic growth and high unemployment as anemia is pervasive.

We know though that government is an ad hoc networking in several respects these days. Bill Clinton's termination of Glass-Steagle let the People's Liberation Army buy in to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac so many Americans can pay rent to the Red Army for being such nice landlords indirectly. They were tolerant of all the mortgage defaults and have stayed with the Federal Government through these hard times.

Too large of corporate size in wealth and employees works against competition and free enterprise. Social organization from communist parties to corporations let social collectives become intimidatingly powerful over the rest of the unaffiliated citizenry. The solution isn't to end corporations and take away their status legally as individuals since some social corporate structures are necessary for larger and complex economic projects to exist. The right direction to take, and one that is unliked by government or corporate sectors would be too limit the size of any corporation to 3000 employees and the number of corporations that anyone could invest in to three. If large development structures are needed it would be possible for temporary corporate relationships to develop to produce faster than light widgets or whatever.

To restore competition and to prevent the large organizational inertia that resists economic changes because of vested interest and cynched lifestyle mass social organizations of a private nature in business should be limited in size. Government without being wrapped up in spirals of interaction with too large size businesses might be able to downsize itself and perhaps, one day become responsive to real environmental and demographic challenges the nation and world face while yet searching for general social justice and equal protection of the law. Petro-states tend to function like soft authoritarian states where the rule of law is second in value to keeping class interests dominant over the state.

Language Exchanges Increase Membership

It seems like a good idea-going online to converse with someone in a language you are learning. At the University of Alaska S-E. a group of students traveled to Cuba to learn some Spanish recently-it would have been less costly and air polluting to just go online and talk with people directly. The exchange below has a million members.

http://www.mylanguageexchange.com/

There may be improvements in the software that will make casual conversation work as effectively as playing chess at chess.com with selections of language level and number of minutes to converse face-to-face with various topic choices. If I need to learn a language to communicate with those with vast social distance in government or media I may consider using 'the language exchange'.

Fried Planets at N.A.S.A. Sciencecasts (YouTube)

N.A.S.A. Sciencecasts at YouTube have presented a new video on planets fried by their star's expansion in the red giant phase. Its quite good.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h1V7-ZNPeXc Fried Planets

Since the discovery (very probable) of the Higgs particle confirming the existence of the Higgs Field it does make one wonder if gravity is simply a change of charge (flip flop) of local areas of the Higgs Field from positive (space expands) to negative (space-time contracts) in the presence of mass or energy.

Stars such as white dwarfs and neutron stars approach the quantity of mass that creates a black hole (formerly known as a Mitchell dark star) have enough quantum degeneracy pressure to resist the complete inward collapse of mass in gravity. Space-time is quite warped by such mass density. Stars like the sun that expand into a red giant phase in a few billion years through the process of burning up their hydrogen then helium and so forth fuel singe planets in orbit nearby.

Possible Complications in The Syrian Civil War

The tragic Syrian Civil War that developed as a result of Arab Spring momentum has so far cost more than 30,000 lives and has edged toward expanded conflict in Lebanon. Early on President Obama repeatedly called for President Assad to give up leadership of his  nation and that perhaps stimulated the organization and support for the rebellion that is largely sectarian. The end of the tunnel does not seem to be in sight yet we may anticipate a couple of additional scenarios that could develop.

If with the support of 'The Friends of Syria' and copious donations of money and material for the rebels from a few nations as well as transient terrorists visiting from several fundamentalist Moslem jihadist movements around the region the Assad-Alawite Government of Syria begins to falter, there could be international support arriving from the substantial military capacity of Hezbollah of Lebanon and Iran.

A Hezbollah intervention in the Syrian conflict would not occur before the Assad was on the ropes because of the damage to the prestige of the Assad Government that was for decades a supporter of Hezbollah of The Lebanon. In the Israel-Hezbollah conflict the Shiite irregulars demonstrated significant capability that would surpass that of the present anti-Assad rebels in Syria.

The potential for a Shia-Sunni proxy conflict in Syria does exist, as power abhors a vacuum and taking over Syria would be desirable for several Moslem elements and variants of Shiism. It is difficult to say where Israel would fit in all that-perhaps Israel would need to occupy Syria at the worst of the civil conflict in order to make a protectorate of it until the U.N. can find some way of fairly apportioning the property to individual deserving citizens. As unlikely as this last scenario is, it is probable that a simple transition to a post-Assad Government isn't inevitable.

Hecklers Attack President for Rape and Murder of Ambassador to Wazzoostan

 Hecklers interrupted a Presidential fundraiser for failing to rescue the Ambassador to Wazzoostan from a Lawrence of Arabia special before being killed last month. The administration viewed the developing events from a Predator drone for seven hours and confirmed there was nothing they could do to help.

 Critics say that seven hours was enough time for rescuers from the Elta Force to put their boots on, pack a lunch and rush to Wazzoostan aboard American-built Osprey troop aircraft to bring cookies and milk to the terrorists in exchange for the Ambassador's release. The administration said a sacrilegious educational video desecrating the role model of the Rebel Organizer For Liberation of Butch Power made in the States of Debt required human sacrifice to Moloch and further, the Ambassador to Wazzoostan was that sacrifice.

Administration supporters point out that in this election year confusion develops while in the fog of war about what really happened the last few weeks neither confirming or denying that it did exist. They also said that Ambassadors being raped and murdered are nothing to be concerned before an election. Even the perfect may let security lapses happen

Anomolous Monism and Quantum Neurophysics

I thought I would write a comment on an entry in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy on Anomolous Monism. Its an interesting theory uniting psychological tokenism and physical causality within a monist paradigm without requiring a direct physical cause of mental events (i.e. ideas). perhaps I didn't express that very well. Here is the url for the entry...

http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/anomalous-monism/

The absence of discussion about quantum mechanics and its role in comprising the neural network of the brain, its synapses and chemical memory and thought processing is notable. A a deeper level of discussion I suppose that some philosophers look in to that sort of thing.

It is interesting that the brain and its memory seems to work a little like a computer memory keeps its impressions and ideas on various subjects until they are updated or changed by new data. Not simply facts about things but ideas about facts about things tend to remain as they are until new information arrives-what else could one do with data if there isn't anything to replace it (write science fiction?)

The brain like everything else seems to be made of particle-waves in various atomic clusters of molecules-and all that based in force quanta in orbital, string,  loop or membrane increments permitted by force protocol. Each bit of quantum force seems as if it has mass in its energy equivalence. By the time force-energy-mass is ossified in stable structure cohering like knots in a string made in a Higgs Field it is named by some 'physical'. Mental and physical events  are made of the same particle-wave foundation in different structures, so it is there that one gets to the monism of anomolous monism I suppose-though the language is of a different protocol level of description.

Spirit is a more mysterious thing. It make be regarded as donated by God to human beings because they are conscious yet it is easy to find like Spinoza a kind of pantheism in monism.  That's simply a simpler, earlier philosophical understanding of matters though.

While God may be the ultimate spirit that provides energy and mass to occur in Universal deterministic temporality., that is the force energy may arise from His will and so in a deep level everything is of God, there is a difference between God and emergent phenomena in the same way that a photon is an emergent phenomenality of an electro-magnetic field and human beings are an emergent phenomenon of a different and more complex series of fields. Though the D.N.A. of a plethora of biologically living beings shares many common bases it is the subtle difference and structures that enable one to say convincingly that a seal is not an turtle or a crab a sparrow. One may have a finite group of numbers yet the organization of the numbers may not be the same say in 1 through 10. These differences are phenomenally meaningful though they are just temporal and emergent characteristics of deeper, transcending events, processes and forces.

Lebanon Bracing For Politically Destabilizing Erratics from Syrian Civil War

Since the assassination of Lebanese Brig. Gen. Wissam al-Hassan- a security chief Friday sporadic violence has developed between pro and con elements. The chief was a Sunni while the Lebanese President is Shi'a and supported by Hezbollah and perhaps Syria or Iran indirectly. There are concerns that the sectarian civil war in Syria may reignite the long dormant Lebanese Civil strife that ended in 1990. The Lebanese civil war between 1975 and 1990 was a very unpleasant affair.

http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/war/lebanon.htm

A loose political balance has existed since then between the Syrian backed Hezbollah forces and the Lebanese Christians with Hezbollah the dominant party. If the Syrian regime becomes defunct it is not improbable that the political balance in Lebanon will alter substantially. There have reportedly been Salafist Sunni militants involved in the incipient Lebanese conflict.

Six Scientists & A Bureaucrat Convicted of Manslaughter for Earthquake

Six earthquake scientists and a bureaucrat were convicted of failing to provide sufficient warning of an Earthquake that killed more than 300 people in 2009's L'Aquila earthquake. They were given six year sentences.

http://news.sciencemag.org/scienceinsider/2012/10/newsflash-laquila-earthquake-exp.html?rss=1

Professional malpractice may be a growing trend for the legal profession. Its lucky that politicians can't be convicted of that. At least the public will have the satisfaction of convicting scientists for failing to warn the public of global warming disaster and the end of most human life on Earth ahead should that occur in the next hundred years or two.

The Innocence of the President's Flip Flop on 'The Innocence of Islam''

Initially President Obama blamed the comic video 'Innocence of Islam' for the killing of four Americans andincluding Ambassador Stevens in Libya September 11, 2012. In the second Presidential debate the President denied that his administration had blamed the video rather than terrorists. That was a flip flop on the administration's explanation as well as its actual history. The President's dissimulation was reinforced by the debate moderator who has since recanted her point. The Innocence of President Obama of his own recent administration positions leaves a few people incredulous. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2E55rwmKSyg Innocence of Islam (the video) The President condemned all acts of terrorism or violence yet for nearly two weeks his administration misled the public advocating that wrong premise that 'The Innocence of Islam' drove a Libyan mob to a frenzy of violence that took the life of Ambassador Stevens instead of an organized criminal conspiracy of terrorists. For nearly two weeks a Coptic ex-pat video maker endured the blame of administration mouthpieces for stimulating the mob of Libya to rage against all tings American. The poor video producer struggling simultaneously to find some way to speak out against the cruelty in Egypt given to Coptic Christians by Moslem members of the only major religion in the world that explicitly supports the notion that they have a right to rule the world and to use death and deception upon resistors and perhaps to make a buck became a felon in the video production by over-extending charges on credit cards. Following in the Wall Street banking bad debt tradition is no excuse for building up vast public debt of course. It is understandable if not excusable. The poor man from Egypt was arrested in the middle of the night in Los Angeles, interrogated and made an object of government and media abuse. So much for free speech when it runs afoul of the leftist narrative. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/election-2012/romney-romping-key-poll-article-1.1187121 http://times247.com/articles/obama-again-pins-libya-blame-on-video-at-u-n The Obama team seemed to have lost some support with comments on the issue of the killing of U.S. Ambassador Stevens in Libya September 12th. The President now maintains that he did not blame a video for stimulating the assassination, but terrorists instead from the start. The C.I.A. reported the fact that organized terrorists perpetrated the event within 24 hours through official channels. Vice-President Biden blamed the intelligence community as well as the President. There is no question that the public was made by the administration to believe that a 15 minute comedy video on the life of Mohammed that few Moslems had seen was the reason for the violence.

Romney Surges to 7 Point Lead in New Gallup Poll

Mitt Romney has taken the lead in the Presidential preference poll among likely voters by seven points. The electorate may yet take direct action against the Obama plan to add another five trillion dollars of public debt if he is re-elected.

The President has taken to general smears against the rising Romney with yippish 'witticisms'  (i.e. 'Romnesia' )that may backfire since there are so many voters of Romney's generation offended by the age bigotry of Mr. Obama. If the Romney-Ryan team cannot reform the problems of inefficient government retirement and disability support structures for the poor and middle class its unlikely that a better chance will appear before the U.S.A. piles of 30 trillion dollars of public debt within the next decade.
