Bernanke's Bubble, Queen Hillary and Dialectical Evolution

When Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke stimulated the market announcing he would continue buying 85 billion dollars of Treasury bonds monthly the market rose to an all-time high. Distributing wealth to the rich and corrupt circles that brought America the 2008 financial meltdown and excessive regulation is the unconventional wisdom for the day.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantitative_easing

Pumping imaginary cash into the economy buying mortgage backed securities (maybe better named dubious securities) with the inflation rate about 1% and letting too big to be accountable bankers have lots of no-interest cash to buy up everyone's distressed or foreclosed home is a policy one might expect would create some sort of anomalous bubble never before seen in our times. Chairman Bernanke said the unemployment situation is actually worse than the 7.6% national average indicates. The obvious to select elite economists is that reinforcing the rich is clearly the best way to bring about full employment, good wages and jobs for all workers, a recovering ecosphere and reduction of public debt.

Queen Hillary the first is looming in 2016. If the Obama administration plan to reduce the U.S. public debt and budget deficit running the total up to 21 trillion dollars with perennial deficits can't fix the economic doldrum the winner of the Clinton vs. Bush title bout-one the public has long clamored for, its like an Ali vs. Marciano fight after all will get a shot. Cynics might prefer a womano y womano Bruser Hillary vs. Condi Rice title fight yet like the Hearns vs. Leonard fight it's difficult to get a brilliant yet out of play contender to step into the ring (although Leonard evolved to that and did win).

Dialectical political evolution is experiencing a comeback after the 1989 slump when the Reagan vs. Gorbachev dialectical led to total ideological collapse of communism and even dialectics. The two-party U.S. political dialectical evolution of political economy has demonstrated that dialectical evolution is itself still a valid theory.

Like the two sides of a stationary rotating auger pushing throw sludge or waste or other products the Republican and Democrat parties are partisan dialectical opposites evolving the economy in a particular way processing input through to output debt, unemployment and a deteriorating national environment (ecosphere section). Without giving quantitative easing relief to philosophers outside of academic not enough theoretical development of post-cold war dialectical evolution has been funded by government extremists content with the other corporate-government dialectical kickback evolution.

Dialectical political evolution is simply a stage in the reduction of economic pluralism to monism. From a pluralistic economic environment with a myriad of competitors an economy through networking and inter-corporate board sharing and insider trading is reduced to a few corporations with limited competition. It may evolve downward in number until a two-stage dialectic evolves; yet like the tripartite foundation of the U.S. Government before corporatism an economy works better with three rivals in a trialectic evolution. More than that requires more than simple math to calculate and is often avoided by politicians and economists.

A dialectical evolution of D.N.A. is the basis of a human genome. A trialectical basis for the genome with an extra strand of P.N.A. instead of D.N.A. would allow political dynasties to evolve within the two party structure by surpassing the political mortality of term limits. Human genes implicit let genetic chaos and mortality develop because of inherent failure to recalibrate and return to original condition genetic stability. An emergent lifetime of Clinton or Bush Presidencies could be negated by selection or merger to a champion King or Queen Bush or Clinton with the evolved dialectical kickback line of Presidential families racing to the top perfected instate-of-the-art political laboratories in Boston.

For the time being the trialectical third helix of political immortality is simple a shadow government ghost selecting the winners and losers in American economic free enterprise. There may be an infinite number of dialectical and trialectical systems in existence simultaneously if they are not powerful enough to dominate or totalize national or global economics.

A trialectical processes of reinventing the U.S. economic system to expand beyond the rather myopic dialectical evolution toward political pluralism and the goals of full employment, good wages for all, decreasing concentration of wealth and increasing ecospheric health and biological diversity isn't likely to occur without something of genius in U.S. political leadership. That hope ended in the first Clinton administration's echoed in the Hollywood zeitgeist Dumb and Dumber.

Egypt's New P.M. and Spare Billions from Saudi & U.A.E. Save Obama Admin Heavy Lifting

When Hazem el-Beblawi was named the new interim Prime Minister for Egypt followed by eight billion dollars of financial help from Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E. the Obama administration was rescued from the weight of wondering what to do about the coup and billion and a half of military assistance problem. If there is a Prime Minister and some sort of functioning Egyptian popular government it may be now credibly legal to convey the backlogged weapons of war, mayhem and suffering to the Egyptian military.

http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/07/09/us-egypt-protests-idUSBRE95Q0NO20130709

It would be helpful if the Obama administration could invest in North Slope geothermal drilling to power villages  burning oil in winter as much as to sell solar panels to Egypt. Egypt probably needs some sort of intelligent village milennium alternative energy manufacture and marketing plan to create a better quality of life and more local work opportunity in the renewable, low-entropy anthropogenic resource field. The United States is lagging in that vector itself, with Congress failing to pass legislation that would employ those out of work longest, or at least the poorest of the poor in manufacture of alternative energy infrastructure projects in the U.S.A.

Relativistic Time Distortion Cohering Discretely in Widget Spacetime (science fiction)

Excerpt from 'The Universal WIdget" 

Worldlines ©2013

It seems that the widget can boot up into reality at whatever scale converting mass energy into little widgets directly. Apparently the widget is more fundamental than the Higgs Field. You notice that gravity has stopped and time has quit. Relativity coheres with mass and energy so with the widget replacing mass and energy time has become relativistic, discrete and stationary as an attribute of the widget field following whatever way the widget sentience or directions-from whatever source that might be, wills.

"So that means that besides no gravity there is no time either?"

Evidently Yvonne. We seem sustained by some personal field developed concurrently with the widget field. The widgets haven't yet consumed our mass energy. The space-time energy for-ourselves coincides with experience of being.

"Your spacetime is one of my memories" the sky replied.

"I think that was the widget Patrick"

Yes of course it is Yvonne.

I asked the widget 'So how's life?'

"Same old, same old" spake the widget.

Though we are a memory widget, I think we are real even so. We exist as real independent beings within your present memory.

"How thoughtful you are Patrick Voevoda. Think about this; as all widgets that exist in widget reality are of my sentient design, and since all things that I made to exist  could be constructed in any time order it follows that everything I think is pre-determined to exist phenomenally."

The widget evidently created its form as a local infinity of discrete widgets without any content from the standard model of quantum physics. It could build its own content and scale up or down with relativistic mass. Its own mass was relativity to its intention with variables of composition forming unique steady-state of fundamental energy. Energy without space-time mass needed to exist in quantum packets that weren't of infinite value themselves. Time could be reassembled into whatever structure the widget configured. 

Yvonne asked "Widget of widgets have you a name?"

 "No one ever asked. Of course I have a name."

Well that settles that Yvonne.

I asked the widget, "No time is passing now for us. You must replacing our standard mass quanta with your own steady state quanta as we speak, continuously."

House Republicans Should Pass a Border Security Bill-Not Amnesty

Democrats have except no interest in defending the American working class. It is a middle-class party of greed chasing after Wall Street and boardroom positions. They can offer depravity and benefits to the upwardly mobile class yet much may be smoke and mirrors as real wages decline for the middle class and families often have two SUV-winners. The ordinary working class is history's lint. Workers need to rely on Republicans to stop illegal migrant worker saturation of the nation and that is like expecting slavers to defend against importation of slaves. With so much cheap labor globally and with Democrat Party leaders levering more and more the future of those without Democrat Party  class qualifications or wealth is decreasingly bright.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixrHYSjMfQI

Since the end of the cold war the national Democratic Party has thrown in the towel on the defense of working class economic facts. Labor unions were sent to the hospice of economics while Democrat Party bosses moved toward Wall Street, Krug champagne and salmon caviar. 

http://adorechampagne.com/brands/top-10-most-expensive-champagnes-167

Democrats signed off on the unnecessary Bush era foreign wars and supported outsourcing of jobs to China and insourcing of illegal alien workers. With the post-cold war environment of billions of new laborers too compete against the only way to defend American workers from drowning in global competition was to enforce border security and keep illegal migrant workers out. In the decline of American industrialism and wages of the working class sober management of national labor supply was vital. Democrats refused to secure the Mexican border against terrorist and illegal worker crossing.

The present Democrat administration has set an agenda of poverty for a new generation of American workers compiling vast public debt with permanent low wages. When inflation returns high unemployment and inflation may make purchases of food difficult. Yet the public is encouraged to live on government food and phone life support anyway, who needs work, and what value are college degrees anyway when cheap labor supply is available and millions of service jobs can be made to steady even the unemployed middle class in minimum wage work?

Republicans should pass a border security bill in the House. If after five years of zero illegal immigration they want to take another look at the separate issue of what to do with the ten to twenty illegal aliens already in the nation that would be reasonable. It is probable though that it would require five years minimum to even construct an effective Mexican boundary control zone across the southern border. A decree by King Canute will not just roll back the tide with a pleasing aesthetic ambiance.

So why should anyone believe the next try would be better? Before the last virtual border fence was built Congress believed it was a sure-fire state-of-the-art go. Selling the Brooklyn Bridge to the Senate might not be as difficult or take weeks to get 68 votes. The Los Angeles Times reported in 2010 that the virtual fence worked on just 53 miles of the 2000-mile border.

The last time D.H.S. did not have adequate over-site of its prime contractor. After reading a quality fiction book by the attorney who impeached Gov. Blogojevich of Illinois about government insider corruption one wonders if Boeing of Chicago- the builder of the last virtual fence- will bet returning to the friendly Obama trough again.

The Secure Border Initiative was virtually a leaky bucket of a sales job. The physical fence was not completed and the virtual fence was non-sense. Since the contract for the last one was cancelled in 2011 the administration and Democrat accomplices of the Senate might feel its time to shovel some more pork.

Operation Igloo White developed by the U.S. Government during the Vietnam Conflict was one of the first large scale efforts at constructing a virtual fence to interdict opposition employment force illegal aliens. Those soldiers were of the communist political theory and infiltrated supplies down the Ho Chi Minh trail in to the Republic of Vietnam. The sewing of sensors along the trail to alert satellites and scramble bombing missions when opposition work-force infiltrators arrived to cut down the average wages of free market workers (well, perhaps this analogy isn't terribly accurate yet the point that the virtual fences are too expensive is the point here) of poor South Vietnamese peasant laborers wasn't entirely ineffective. 

The costs of the virtual fence were said to be a self-inflicted wound to American treasure as it was asymmetric economic war. The military supplies lost by the infiltrators were of far less cost than the virtual fence technology. Personnel costs to the infiltrators were significant.

Physical barriers are sometimes effective against ground-game invaders. Hadrian's Wall built by the Roman Army in the 2nd century along the Scottish border kept those savages out of Roman England for quite some time. Illegal aliens today have more numbers and technology than the Scot savages back in the day yet not the energy and time. If Hadrian's Wall worked against the Scots a new, improved berm with hybrid electric cars driving along the top to patrol should work now.

Building physical boundary defense walls creates jobs. They can also set aside ecological reserve areas for wildlife-perhaps jaguars and other endangered species of the South. The two lines of Walls of Constantinople kept the Byzantine Empire safe enough for nearly one thousand years. And let us not forget Offa's Dyke of the 8th century that protected Mercia from the savages of Powys (Welch) back in the day. The berm was as much as 85 feet wide and 8 feet high and ran along areas between the kingdoms without natural barriers.

Clawdd Offa can be an inspiration to builders of a meaningful new border barrier between the U.S.A. and Mexico. An All-American aqueduct could be built along with a berm to carry saltwater pumped up from the Pacific Ocean to the continental divide that is allowed to flow downhill in each direction. Some of the saltwater would be evaporated and condensed under plastic to make freshwater for agriculture and recreation. Solar power might be used to give a boost to the vast siphon exploiting the difference between Pacific and Gulf of Mexico waters to maintain a constant flow rate to replace water lost to evaporation and other uses.

A border barrier recreation and desalination zone would be a better project than a sterile fence that doesn't grow anything at all and is an experimental area for infiltration, climbing, tunneling and so forth. A fence is a thing that inventors might use large mortars to launch illegal watermelons over, and catapults flinging people with parachutes might be attempted on the silly fence. Probably fence contractors want the work that thereafter is as much an eyesore as any for-profit prison's fences.

Why the U.S. Congress has no imagination or desire to make a profit on large-scale projects these days is uncertain. In former times they has the Columbia Basin project, the Apollo program, The Tennessee Valley Authority and so forth. The Congressional ideas about border security flim flam fencing are irritating. Some of us like neighborhoods without ugly California fencing subdivisions so that wildlife can wander freely. Border control zones need aesthetic earthworks and water filled canals that are useful and park-like yet effective. Building a prison infrastructure to keep unemployed Americans from leaving eventually isn't a good idea. Teach the unemployed to fish in a desert by building a canal filled with piped-in water is to keep illegal workers out too.

 Even two border patrolmen per mile instead of one won't stop careful infiltration of terrorists and shock workers. Without patrol cars driving atop a series of reinforced berms with green space between as well as canals the defense infrastructure is more to keep bureaucrats and lawyers out rather than illegal workers that Democrat politicians like.

Obama Administration Declares Egypt Military Takeover Not-A-Coup

The Coup d'etat in Egypt led by General Al-Sisi seems satisfactory to the Obama administration. President Obama's press mouthpiece has deemed it not-a-coup in order to continue giving billions of dollars to the incipient junta promising free and fair elections down the road. The semantics, or rather dissimulation of executive rule by decree and selective law enforcement is a growing trend in the U.S. Government. Power is sweet I suppose. President Obama should follow the law instead of breaking it whenever he deems it useful.

Paramount leader Al Sisi might better declare Egypt to be a constitutional Pharaohship and bring in British royals as advisers about setting it up. Like British royals the Pharaoh could just step in whenever the Parliament and P.M. mess up and can't balance the budget on very rare occasions. A benevolent military pharaoh could be just the big brother the people of Egypt want and that President Obama appears to support. Whenever politicians go too far it's good to know the military will step in and restore normalcy at least if it's in someone else's country.

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/07/08/white-house-wants-us-aid-to-egypt-to-keep-flowing-for-now/

Since the Iranian not-a-coup restored a Shah to Iran's Peacock throne driving out P.M. Mosadegh and downsizing the Majlis the United States has trended toward managing autocracy and democracy relations on a sliding scale,sometimes with word labels as noun variables contingent upon circumstance, need and resource extraction interests. We are not certain what the administration position is in either nation (the U.S. or Egypt). Probably what they should do is cut off financial aid to Egypt immediately due to coup and restore it when they have an election with a fair and balanced result soon. Instead of military aid we could give the people Obama phones for the same price. Democrats cannot rely upon twittering except at their peril.

General AL-Sisi Boots President Morsi-Suspends Constitution

Declaring the constitution suspended the friendly and benevolent, populist Egyptian Army gave the boot to President Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood. The public grievances with the brief year tenure were evidently insufferable enough to force the drastic step of a populist coup. That is sort of a quid pro quo for President Morsi's giving short shrift to public input to rewriting the constitution of Egypt after the ouster of President Mubarak.

One wonders if Edward Snowden will return home to the U.S.A. for the forth of July and like Socrates just bite-the-bullet for what he believes in. Maybe he believes in wikileaks and Julian Assange more.

I would agree with Mr. Snowden if he had my point of view right off. I think that the U.S. political system is terminally corrupted by the lack of public service as the greatest generation experienced. Generations of spoilt subsequents to the greatest generation are globalists, outsourcers, compilers of public debt, ruled by a corrupt broadcast media owned by powers of concentrated wealth and neither major party is worth a damn at nationalism.

Mr. Snowden might be able to get sanctuary in Egypt while they are between governments and enjoy viewing the pyramids. Its a good time to enlist in the Egyptian army I suppose. Their stock seems to be on the rise.

The Greatest Generation Followed by Generations of Greed Without Public Service

The generation of the second world war brought more than 20 million Americans into military service from a population of perhaps 140 million. After the demobilization social comprehension of government and feelings of equality were pervasive. There was a better social management of  government, taxation, public debt and national development was key. Yet in a declining level of public military service and rising tide of generation-me and globalism the public sector has fallen into decline. It is the public sector that enable private sector prosperity with good government. It is the public sector that should defend the environment rather than give away some of the last stands of old growth in the Tongass National Forest.

http://juneauempire.com/state/2013-07-01/forest-service-approves-big-thorne-timber-sale#.UdL03DtsiSo

With so few elites ever serving in the military and with unlimited capitalism erasing democratic common sense wealth has concentrated, globalism and international develop has surpassed concern for the national well being of environment, infrastructure and employment. Public debt has increase and the border become porous with decline of unionism and real wages. These are logical development of the aloof beneficiaries of generations following the victory of the greatest generation.

In every generation there are those with the fire of nationalism and spirituality such as drove the qualitatively greater generation of the founders. Quantitatively the greatest generation of the second world war era surpassed the populace that followed in the number of individuals that fundamentally understood the relationship of government to society and the environment. That some might arise to lead the present generations to restoration of liberty and economic justice for all is necessary if anyone is to care about the future of the United States or even perhaps life on Earth in decline during the era of mass extinction and global warming stimulated by industrialization and inefficient natural resource use.

Competitive Edge of Secondary Growth on Mature Fir Tree Trunks

In northern coastal old growth forests a canopy develops from tall trees screening out light to the branches below. In the deep quiet forest the underlying branches have died off from reduced sunlight. Perhaps the upward growth of the trees to gain height is a result of natural selection for fastest upward mobility in competition of rival spruce, hemlock and fir. Cedar trees stop growing somewhere south around Kupreanov Island. They are excellent at low dense ground covering starts resembling bushes competing with themselves choking out other species. There may be an exception to the prevalent conifer tree rule that tree trunks become bare of branches in old growth forests.

Some mature northern coastal fir trees develop a dense covering of tiny branches on the trunk. While larger, primary branches have gone through their cycle of growing large to later die off and rot away as new branches grow higher up leaving the large tree trunk bare, there is still a little light reaching through the treetops and the dense branches. That bare trunk is wasted space so far as photon collecting goes. It is a metaphor for human use of urban environment and prevalent downsizing of Earth-ecosphere

An evolutionary adaptation of tall firs in rain forests is to exploit all that dead space devoid of photon collecting needles (conifer equiv of leaves) and grow a covering of tiny branches with needles. Fir trees-maybe in a homonym of fur may have tree trunks covered with a dense growth of small branches growing directly out of the trunk. Many firs don't have that. I don't recall observing that and many locations in S.E. Alaska.

I have no idea if the fur-like covering of very small branches dense with fir needles absorbing light reaching through the trees input their chemical energy from photosynthesis directly into the upward growth of the tree or if they are local, independent tiny trees just growing out of the trunk's bark in the annual wetness.

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/07/130705121051.htm one wonders if some vegetable plants could be made to grow on some tree trunks.

I will post a picture of a fir about 75 years old with a dense trunk cover of tiny branches. I haven't seen that kind of growth on cedar, hemlock or spruce. On the left is the fur-covered fir tree and on the right is a bare trunk of a usual tree and that emerged into more light after logging. In unlogged areas with 75-year old second growth approximately) the phenomena is common. One wonders if the trait is genetically isolated or if cedar, hemlock and spruce trees could be made to develop that trunk covering to increase photon collection for photosynthesis.

Tour de France 2013 Reaches 4th Stage- American Riders Doing O.K.

The United States has three riders seventeen seconds off the lead after the 4th stage of the 2013 Tour de France. One wishes that Fox Radio had hired Lance Armstrong for regular commentary on the race to liven up the posturing a little.

Team Garmin with Van Velde, Talinsky, Danielson and Van Garderen (26 seconds off the lead) looks strong for the U.S.A. Australia also looks strong this year too with Simon Gerrans wearing the yellow (amarillo ) shirt of power given to the first-place guy.

How M.B.A.s, Globalism & Networks Kill Life on Earth

The Wall Street transition of the U.S. economy into foreign investment and globalism with speed of light stock trading, tranching, arbitrage and social networking makes for a smaller planet without many idea-firewalls remaining. M.B.A.s are about managing and manipulating existing business structures rather than inventing new material processes. Bankers and M.B.A.s are not inventors or scientists generally. Even the independent start up inventor seems a little anachronistic or quaint when big bucks are made with fast and clever programs and entertainment. The system clearcuts the wild as if it were a practico-inert object-for-profit.

http://juneauempire.com/state/2013-07-01/forest-service-approves-big-thorne-timber-sale#.UdL03DtsiSo

None of this is good for the prospect of democracy leading national economic change to one of hundreds of alternative synthetic forms of capitalism that would reduce mass-consumption of non-renewable resources, conserve biodiversity, cut back on pollution and reverse global warming. The greed-is-good ethos provides a red herring that environmental is a concern of communists or former communists. Those most invested in a particularly virulent and aggressive form of capitalism have blinders on to economic philosophy and the thousand faces of capitalism that are possible with competent political direction in ecological and economic theory and practice.

The United States has evolved a practice of capitalism as a social absolute in-itself in which the ecosphere is an externality. That is myopia of the worst kind. The world is the nasty, rationalized funhouse the animals live upon. Just making it comfortable without concern about using it up won't work very much longer.

Republican failure to lead is understandable. The default of intelligent voters to the dark side of the moral force (Democrat Party) is the only alternative to walking the plank of ecospheric doom of right wing talk radio and oil-soaked Presidential candidates. The President just uses the environmentalists to get elected yet doesn't walk the walk of the radical ecological economist at all. He flies an entourage on Air Force One to Hawaii or a Golf course with the slightest provocation.

Development at all costs is the economic foundation of a nation where only a minority actually makes anything physically. When so many have so much invested in making money off of foreign manufacture and other people's production none have an interest in changing the way things from a disposable economic model to a renewable sustainable economic foundation within a recovering ecosphere.

President just promised to give three African countries seven billion dollars for electricity production doubling that continent's production. It may also support increased resource consumption. The U.N. millennium project cost far less-why wasn't that funded at all? Training African economies to work on an ecological economic basis of high renewability, sustainability and conservation and recovery of wild habitat are vital for the survival of life on Earth including human life. The United State of America' has so far proven itself incapable of being a leader in the right direction however.

America's own economic transition to a post-industrial society with speed-of-light global stock trading has defeated national prospects for creating a sustainable economy with free enterprise, national self-determination, full-employment and a recovering ecosphere. That is the hard fact. 

Egypt Moves Toward Gay New World Order; General Sisi Gives Morsi 48 hours to Toe the Line

Egyptian evolution of a new political order continues with instructions from Army General Sisi to President Morsi to toe the line and set  new elections or new parliamentary elections (I am not sure which). The Muslim Brotherhood h.q. in Cairo was sacked by a crowd of resisters to rule by the Muslim Brotherhood New National Order that has curtailed frills of political opposition opportunities for dissent. Hence the populist neo-intafadah has turned out in the streets seeking to restore the right of women to wear pants and for homosexual marriage I would guess. Maybe the Obama donation of seven billion dollars for African electrical development helped persuade the crowd that the man with the dollar printing press is the true cue to follow and that is the way of Boston Brahmin (Is that singular and plural simultaneously like deer or bear) toward a Gay New World Order.

Physical barriers are sometimes effective against ground-game invaders. Hadrian's Wall built by the Roman Army in the 2nd century along the Scottish border kept those savages out of Roman England for quite some time. Illegal aliens today have more numbers and technology  than the Scot savages back in the day yet not the energy and time.

Building physical boundary defense walls creates jobs. They can also set aside ecological reserve areas for wildlife-perhaps jaguars and other endangered species of the South. The two lines of Walls of Constantinople kept the Byzantine Empire safe enough for nearly one-thousand years. And let us not forget Offas Dyke of the 8th century that protected Mercia from the savages of Powys (Welch) back  in the day. The berm was as much as 85 feet wide and 8 feet high and ran along areas between the kingdoms without natural barriers.

Clawdd Offa can be an inspiration to builders of a meaningful new border barrier between the U.S.A. and Mexico. An All-American aqueduct could be built along with a berm to carry saltwater pumped up from the Pacific ocean to the continental divide that is allowed to flow downhill in each direction. Some of the saltwater would be evaporated and condensed under plastic to make freshwater for agriculture and recreation. Solar power might be used to give a boost to the vast siphon exploiting the difference between Pacific and Gulf of Mexico waters to maintain a constant flow rate to replace water lost to evaporation and other uses.

A border barrier recreation and desalination zone would  be a better project than a sterile fence  that doesn't grow anything at all and is an experimental area for infiltration, climbing, tunneling and so forth. A fence is a thing that inventors might use large mortars to launch illegal watermelons over, and catapults flinging people with parachutes might be attempted on the silly fence. Probably fence contractors want the work that thereafter is as much an eyesore as any for-profit prison's fences.

Why the U.S. Congress has no imagination or desire to make a profit on large scale projects these days is uncertain. In former times they has the Columbia Basin project, the Apollo program, The Tennessee Valley Authority and so forth. The Congressional ideas about border security flim flam fencing are irritating. Some of us like neighborhoods without ugly California fencing subdivisions so that wildlife can wander freely. Border control zones need aesthetic earthworks and water filled canals that are useful and park-like yet effective. Building a prison infrastructure to keep unemployed Americans from leaving eventually isn't a good idea. Teach the unemployed to fish in a desert by building a canal filled with piped-in water is to keep illegal workers out too.

 Even two border patrolmen per mile instead of one won't stop careful infiltration of terrorists and shock workers. Without patrol cars driving atop a series of reinforced berms with green space between as well as canals the defense infrastructure is more to keep bureaucrats and lawyers out rather than illegal workers that Democrat politicians like.

D.O.M.A., Snowden and Senegal Added to Skinnerian Political Economy

Edward Snowden's release of classified N.S.A. data may help foreign hackers exfiltrate commercial American secrets. A song I wrote named Beneath the Stars has lyrics 'every year it snows that's just a mace behind your face'. With disposable cell phone communicators for every illegal alien to talk to Pakistan or wherever from the U.S.A. how can N.S.A. computers keep track?

Speaking from Senegal on the subject of homosexual marriage President Obama explained that all people must be treated equal. Equivalence of all things is easy if they all have zero value. If numbers are all equal so must men and women, adults and children, heterosexual and homosexual relationships.

Corrupt elites packing the Supreme Court issued the decision overturning California's proposition 8 as well as the Federal Defense of Marriage Act (D.O.M.A.). The judiciary is packed with queer symps of natural democrat ilk. Since Miro Satan was signed and played for the Boston Bruins in the 2010 season it was easy to see with the advertisement where the Eastern establishment's sympathies lay.

The psychologist B.F. Skinner thought that human beings are equal, as must Doctor 'Evo' Dawkins, President Obama and the liberal Supreme Court in the context of being organic bags of impulses with ideas cycling through. The organisms may have property lines and philosophical ideas about the reality of differentiation in solid-state objects, but those ideas are nullified by the equality of things as meaninglessness in-itself.

One might think that liberal use of cocaine and broadcast network power exclusivity supports development of a milieu of belief that the electorate is meaningless and ought to be manipulated by immoral elites above the herd and be correct. There may be more to it than that.

Subjugated meaningless masses of organic units can have high unemployment to keep wages down. They may be managed with food stamps or extended unemployment 'benefits' to keep them from becoming militant. Illegal alien immigrant workers can replace the downwardly mobile at low, low wages and bring a better non-intellectual culture to support homosexual couples in retirement. Boston and San Francisco elites probably have planned for-themselves a way-of-the-world godlessness political agenda dumbing-down the masses to save them from global warming, over-population and mass species extinction without danger of violence; just uneventful back-row smothered mates (a basic chess check-mate pattern that chess G.M.'s Anand, Gelfan and others learned at age 5 or 6).

Abortion, homosexuality, concentration of wealth, legal and illegal  drug use like Huxley's soma, globalism neutralizing national economic and social security in an anti-Christian social environment etc. are some of the content of the evolution of immorality hostile takeover of U.S. pop culture from the top-down. My helium.com page with five peer-reviewed rating stars for 812 articles remaining after some with the q word were deleted reads 'Member since 2007'. What should also be written is 'banned since Dec. 24th, 2010' for being unsupportive of homosexual marriage.

When I took a Bachelor of Arts degree from Excelsior College-then named Regent's College, and got a diploma from the University of the State of New York for transferring in college credits in order to save a lot of money in 1991 I had no idea what would follow. I couldn't get admitted to the University of Alaska Fairbanks graduate school but the new President of the University of Alaska Fairbanks Jerome Kommisar was from New York's State University system.

I owned a property at Wrangell Alaska. Wrangell is near the Anan River bear observatory. I had written Footprints in the Sand in 1974 while working as a custodian for the University of Alaska Juneau because I wanted to write, was mired in a sinful relationship and lonesome for a girl I used to know. I read Emerson, The Tibetan Book of the Dead, Nicoli Gogol's The Overcoat and Other Stories and attended church since an infant. Psalms were second nature even in the dark of an Alaska winter drinking too much beer. I had lots of ideas and mailed the prose poem to a magazine in California. So Charlie Rangel of New York, Kofi Anan of the U.N., and Sen. Chuck Schumer become the emergent global liberal line up pressurizing me at home in Alaska during the 1990's. By 2008 I sold the property. Rangel and Anan finally faded away, Chuck Schumer is still hanging around Washington D.C.

Though a local Wrangell builder climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro this year, I couldn't get a job in Alaska and had to migrant journey as far as Florida to get a little house painting to earn return to Wrangell and improve the hut I built. Instead of getting a grad degree and being an educator I ended up homeless scribbling books while the nation drifted to queer and Wall Street corrupt with outsourced jobs and vast public debt.

Propaganda in the U.S.A. co-opting published works to inimical purpose does exploit individuals for the benefit of the corrupt and puff up Satan's team. It makes the equality of people better for natural democrats redistributing monetary and intellectual capital from those that aren't. It is likely that Satan has no trouble regarding people as being equally of zero value.

Supremes/Corrupted Elites Force Gay Marriage on California

Corrupt elites packing the Supreme Court issued a decision overturning California's proposition 8 as well as the Federal Defense of Marriage Act. The judiciary is packed with queers and queer symps of the natural democrat ilk. Since Miro Satan was signed and played for the Boston Bruins in the 2010 season it was easy to see where the Eastern establishment's sympathies lied.

A nation in decay opts for the wrong way to go. Now singles will be those discriminated against financial by the government for not being involved in the depraved establishment.

Will Snowden Be the First Test Case of N.D.A.A. Extraordinary Rendition From Ecuador?

Will Edward Snowden become a test case for the National Defense Authorization Act provisions of 2012 and 2013 that allow arrest and detention of U.S. citizens abroad? One wonders how that act would conflict with any extradition treaties or lack thereof such as with Ecuador where the N.S.A. contractor fugitive seems to be trying to go.

Maybe Mr. Snowden meant well, certainly the fugitive Julian Assange of wikileaks looks upon the filching of classified data as beneficial in some way, yet to who?

The United States has a history of problems of the sort such as the inventor of the machine gun-Maxxim had. He thought that it would end all war because it was just too effective act killing soldiers. Sometimes spies divulge government secrets, or rather, whistle blowers divulge government secrets because they feel that it is for the greater social good. Even cold war era communist sympathizers had at times similar opinions such that it would be good to balance out secret weapons parity by providing plans to the enemy. Well, who can say how that works out. What is know is that if one swore an oath to keep secrets and broke that oath one has a bill to pay, and Mr. Snowden instead of seeming like a flake should have stayed during the hot summer of global warming in the states to face the music. At least the other misguided soul-Corporal Bradley Manning did not flee to the pristine wilderness of Siberia for summer fishing and winter hiding out in a spa.

Non-Academic Philosophy and Challenges of Relevance

Independent thought without academia may be easier than within. I am thinking more about the corporatist and networked impact of which academia is ancillary. It is about schoolwork and study after all more so than holistic analysis or criticism of all that exists. Sartre left academia at The University of Le Havre  to write 'Being and Nothingness' and 'The Critique of Dialectical Reason'. While at Le Havre he wrote 'Nausea'. His thought developed after going out in the world.

Perhaps academic philosophy tends toward history of philosophy and logic as rigorous science approaches better suited toward student and bureaucratic processes. I agree that very spaced out pedagogical method would be unhelpful for instructing those seeking to learn about philosophy. Social institutions tend almost necessarily to conformity and failure of self-criticism. The broadcast media-government-corporatist-military/industrial complex is an organic entity for-itself   that would be concerned about black marks and brownie points while the world was in global warming and mass extinction danger.

Philosophy in the corporatist era of academia may develop some of the same constraints on free thought and for its expression as existed in the former Soviet Union.  It is not just philosophy that is limited either, political expression by corporate and academic employees is also subject to pressurization.

Non-academic philosophers have the challenge of developing good ideas and expressing those to a mass audience well enough to change political practices. Maybe Condi RIce with that 165 I.Q. unwilling ton stand for Vice President of the United States was like Jacque Cousteau too aware that humanity seems to have a self-determined course toward dystopianism.

Philosophy has tremendous depth in its history. Its nature is in proverbs as well as Coppleston or Russell's history of the subject, in thought of Strawson, Quine, Paul TIllich or even B.F. Skinner. One of the new challenges is to keep human thought including philosophical and metaphysical ideas meaningful in a social context where evolutionary biologists may regard humanity as just bioforms with phenomenal chemical thought structures permutating. That sort of implicit institutional irrationality lends itself readily to new age fascism and the evolution of immorality. In the age of paradox irrationality may be institutionally rational. The influence of Derida, Dewey and Skinner and deconstruction of human reason leaves us perhaps with a quantum approach to contemporary history and philosophy of faith.

Warburton has raised the bar a little on creative philosophical thought within and without academia. After learning of the comments I decided to name my new book of philosophical essays 'The Myth of Non-Academic Philosophy'.

U.S. Syrian-Iranian Policy Is Difficult to Understand

The administration of the U.S. Government has offered the Assad Alawite Government of Syria a generous offer of surrender, Sect. of State Kerry said that they would need only mutually agree on an interim government I would suppose before an election of the Muslim Brotherhood into total power. How one wonders could Assad demure on that?

I still wonder about U.S. foreign policy on the Middle East. Why is it that we stimulated and supported escalation of a revolt against the government of Syria? It doesn't especially seem to be in Israel's best interest and the first answer that comes to mind is that the administration is worried about Iranian nuclear weapons development and hope that some sort of Shi'a domino downfall would knock the Iranian revolution down. That seems like a long shot.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-23012637

So far as I know U.S. problems with Iran began after the nationalization of the British oil fields in Iran after the Second World War. Iran had a democracy then and they still have-one of just two functioning ones in the Middle East. Of course we returned the fled Shah of Iran to power and legend has it forced out Mossadegh the Prime Minister. Subsequently we then built up a military for the Shah of the Peacock Throne and developed relations with a very cruel Savak secret police agency of Iran that were globe ranging repressing dissidents. The U.S.A. developed large corporate resource extraction interests and of the course the military industrial complex got good arms sales, and all that was sold to President Eisenhower as a bulkhead against communism. Yet we have seen that Iran has no tendency to become communist-even purging those well-meaning anti-souls.

So during the Iranian revolution the student radicals captured the U.S. embassy, as a temporary measure yet didn't kill anyone-such innocent days. One imagines that Saul Olinsky and or the Weather Underground or even perhaps a returned from Vietnam radicalized John Kerry if Iranian would have joined in that event. The long, slow burning institutional grudge of the U.S. government cannot forgive the Iranians for their trespass, yet Hillary Clinton should have-the State Department was very slow in rescuing the Ambassador in Benghazi as if it weren't to important.

It might be the development of nuclear weapons that is of ongoing concern since former President Amadhdinijab has left office. He did like to twit the U.S. Government yanking its chain with threats on Israel and the Great Satan of course-a true populist exploiting patriotism. Even so Iran does have legitimate defense concerns. Saudi probably has a nuke or two, Pakistan has dozens or hundreds and both nations are Sunni while Iran is Shi'a. Neither is it likely that Iran has forgotten the Iran-Iraq war when Saddam used Iranian corpses to make bridges for his tanks. There were more than a million casualties in that war.

Probably the better way to get along with Iran is restoration of as normal of relations as possible. Usually people on good terms with a fair amount of transparency don't wake up and decide to surprise nuke a neighbor or two especially if it guarantees a mass retaliation.

Iran has defense concerns from the Sunni world and an urban populace that has a tendency for westernization something like that of Turkey. Iran in some respects can adjust its democracy like that of Canada of the past. Iran's Council of Experts is comparable to Canada's Privy Council that is now mostly anachronistic yet formerly was more powerful than parliament as in Iran today. As times change the quantification and allocation of power to various institutions shifts without need for revolution. The Democracy of the United States is somewhat different than either and more of a Republic or really a corporatist entity with pretensions of global universal hegemony through Wall Street. Normalization of relations with Iran-just diving in is likely to be the logically best way to direct U.S. foreign policy.

Another concern of Iran is globalism. There are of course various megalomaniacs of all stripes seeking world dominion. AL Gore has a recent book named 'The Future' that outlines an emerging networked globe marketplace evolution. Not everyone shares that goal or thinks it would be good of course; many have ecosphere reform ideas that fit with economic reform while keeping strong individual boundaries as if they were local gauge symmetries letting democracy and development exist nationally. Iranian Shi'a leaders may be slow to want anything to do with the corporatist world seeking to restore plundering of natural resources supremacy and degradation of morality. The homosexual elite of the Obama administration may hate the Islamic folkways and Sharia proscribed homosexuality. Arnold Toynbee noted that of all social institutions people will defend their religion most strongly especially since it is a matter of eternal fate.

Stimulating the Syrian war was not a good idea and it's difficult to say where it will lead except that tens of thousands more are likely to die. When the war ends there will be thousands of new highly experienced terrorists and professional revolutionaries experiencing unemployment and new local purges of Shi'a, Alawite or Sunni. Probably the next President of the United State will have to deal with issues generated from the conflict. Certainly a Christian influence on Syrian events seems to be minimal.

Five Sigma (a poem)

The facts of contemporary history were unevenly distributed
theoretical functions of state 
transformed into Utopia of global networks
gauge symmetry rotations 2/3rds of the way to happiness crashed
like a polar cap melting down
when even frogs were in decline

The rotational symmetry of the political world dark and deep
currents of transformation rise
while the world's fast asleep
when hallucinukes float through the keyholes
cascading waters surging forward
bosons forced through field dreams

Assemblies of atoms stay solidly together
running through time in all kinds of weather
particles swollen in fields with gravity pulling together
sunshine and rain sites of blue whales
Sampson and Armstrong sorting through lunar shale

Bone thugs beat a symbolism of signs
in a race to the bottom gathering dusty brine
constructing all things for a network of hives
counter-cyclically encompassing all things alive

With the immoral; compass inevitably pointing wrong
Them is a lost direction
Of dance in a song.

Intro to Quanta of Contemporary History

Can contemporary history be developed as a nexus of discrete essays regarded as individual quanta that might thereafter be sorted into groups and transformed through various field symmetries into distilled subject-meaning units? We wonder if elements of linguistic philosophy especially the ontological relativity of W.V.O. Quine and tool paradigms of quantum physics could be applied to history writing?

The world political and social culture is a vast template for analysis. It seems that world the political economy and ecosphere is too complex to fit within competent political management. Thus a more impartial quantum approach to history writing capturing some real-time opinion and ideas apprehended by the historian, as philosophical commentator might be worthwhile.

Perhaps the quantum unit template of contemporary history is old tradition in modern history compilation with techniques well developed, yet perhaps not. This is my initial approach and for due to various constraints will be limited. I will apply this method to my next contemporary history volume, Quanta of Contemporary History.

Quantifying contemporary history as units of event-process phenomena in a given space-time nexus can paint a mosaic for the contemplative reader of what sort of things occurred and were of interest. In the world today all issues seem inter-related or contingent. Not only are simultaneous histories developed like space-time coordinates in a field addressed with general relativity, there is a transcending monist continuum in which all the events of the year are embedded. We wonder how general relativity and the independent values of space-time apply within the finite mass of a Universe with an overall monistic history of expansion and realize that it is to an observer traveling through the cosmos that relativistic space-time differentials occur. Only for an historian or reader of contemporary events would the complete complex of events arise as a mosaic of discrete, individual quanta units of history.

Ideas too form quanta units of contemporary history. Ordinary citizen analysis and awareness of a vast national and global field of event-process contribute to the development of democratic opinion formation and even expression of political interest and will in public forums such as online Internet sites. It is challenging today to record what ideas or worldview any individual has or had regarding contemporary history. This volume essentially portrays my own ideas written over the past ear on various emergent subjects of interest.

It is too easy for the privileged to cross over the border these decades as if it has no reality. Since the first Boeing jetliner in 1958 the ease of global travel has increased. With the Internet and e-commerce globalists have a difficult time knowing where borders are.

A world without borders for corporations does not necessitate a world of peace, democracy or individual civil with liberty and justice for all in a good environment. The rise of advantage for globalists coincides with a decrease in individual economic liberty and the growth of networked ad hoc collectivism through Wall Street. Political free expression and local political control declines in a neo-corporatist global economic environment. Politics going against the mainstream tends to be repressed. Political lemmings rush headlong toward eco-disasters the market is unwilling to recognize ahead such as global warming and mass species extinction.

Fortunately for those inclined to disfavor nationalism U.S. politics has developed a contemporary application of Darwinism that helpfully obfuscates the nagging idea of nationalism and national interest. Evolution theory has developed in politics as a buzzword for fate.

Evolution political theory is a blind historical force determining political development rather than intelligent design inclusive of the well being of all U.S. citizens in the U.S.A. today. It is a convenient excuse enabling the concentration of wealth and political power in privileged elites. Political evolution theory applied as an equivalent of the oriental joss (fate) may be satisfactory for select scientific classes of epistemological extremists on the left and right with a point of view of human mind upgraded in the worst of B.F. Skinner's behaviorist paradigm of human organicism. The human body in that paradigm is meat and mind is no more than a bio-chemical apparition within.

Good Summer Non-Fiction Reading

Nigel Warburton recently left his position as senior lecturer at the Open University. The philosopher takes a turn at non-Academic philosophy free of the constraints of academia. His recent book Philosophy Bites Back with David Edmonds is at the top of my list of non-fiction. There are more non-fiction books of interest.

The Future by Al Gore leads with the concept of globalism as a stateless .com for the Utopian evolution. Cynics take a different view of globalism. Thunder on the Mountain by Peter A. Galuszka takes a hands on dirty look at big coal and corporate indifference. We don't believe globalism will improve human nature much, but will instead enforce a draconian domination by oppressive elites.

Conscious Capitalism by John Mackey of Whole Foods and Raj Sisodia seek to improve the 'heroic spirit of business' by upgrading their thinking caps through guru'd mentoring. Good luck. It's a good read too.

Plutocrats by Chrystia Freeland is subtitled THE RISE of the NEW GLOBAL SUPER_RICH and the FALL OF EVERYONE ELSE. This book sounds like a must-read. Evidently people are interpreting the global elephant of capitalism and corporatism in different ways believing it will run amock and trample every place the grapes of wrath are stored profitably or dump too much fertilizer. 

Jared Diamond wrote THE WORLD UNTIL YESTERDAY subtitled What Can We Learn from Traditional Societies. I like this topic quite a bit and hope to find the time to read the book. In the meantime here are a couple of traditional society tips.

Long ago S.E. Alaska had less water and more land and ice. When the end of the Wisconsin ice age started 16,000 years ago that all changed. Ice started melting and the sea level rose. Though Alaska brown bear genetically have two different lines arriving at different times and being isolated by rising water on islands such as Admiralty, they wern't the only ones affected. Human settlements of S.E. Alaska also changed.

Anthropological pre-history has people boating or walking along the Pacific coast maybe 20.000 years ago to points south with the now submerged land erasing the trail. It is known though that Athabascan tribesmen arrived from the Yukon and Stikine River maybe 5,000 years ago. They built a network of salmon traps in S.E. enabling a renewable harvest. Folklore reports Tlingits (means Sea Lion clan) of the larger Tongass tribe of Athabascans wasted very little of salmon eggs putting some of the egg and roe together in the streams before eating the fish. Salmon roe has vitamins A, C and D with 30% protein and no trans-fat or carbs.

Another fact is that Tlingits were the last tribe to have slaves in the U.S.A. They had traditional war with neighboring tribes such as the Haida executing as many as 70,000 a story goes in the mists of traditional history keeping a single hair count of each dead warrior building up to several inches thick. The Haida lived at Skid Gate in the Queen Charlotte Islands and may have arrived from Hawaii in large canoes manned by 60 warriors and/or women. Hai in Chinese means ocean I think, like Shang-hai means the Shang (original Chinese tribe) ocean. Our blue water navy can learn something from that too maybe.
