Anti-wimp Coaching for Internet Newbies

News reports of suicides by youth after abuse from internet trolls are common enough these days. The response has been on an anti-bullying axis instead of anti-wimp coaching. The former tends to increase government power and the latter that of individuals. Coaching individuals new to the internet to withstand and successfully fend of troll attacks is probably a better course to pursue.

Those new to the Internet discover a planetful of communications they are not familiar with from the neighborhood. Often they go unprepared into cyberspace and experience direct personal attacks and public smears by trolls or anonymous posters. Newbies don’t know how to filter out those messages and are shocked by the public smears. I encountered that a lot at the now defunct N.P.R. Your Turn Discussions arena in 1999-2005. I got a lot of experience at posting political opinions in an unregulated frontier forum. Personal attacks are a characteristic of not only the left, but of the far right as well, though more so the left. Some do not know that it’s o.k. to criticize politicians and political policies but not individual citizens for expressing their criticism. The mob mentality is to stifle any dissent or alternative concepts with personal attack on citizens.

Internet trolls come in many political colors. There is a cornucopia of reasons why human beings given free communications access send deprecatory messages to others. For one thing it’s a juvenile trait. Another good cause is emulation of the wise-guy broadcast media. Internet coaching needs to arise to brief youth and other newbies on the facts of Internet use so they don’t need to mature through the hard knocks of personal experience that is too common, time-wasting and really ubiquitous for public forum users without filter control.

In a former era instead of political advocacy for protection from bullying an American response would have been to ‘Just say no to trolls’. Like those that interrupt a house painter from going about his phenomenal application as directly as possible Internet trolls disrupt writers and other posters from executing their personal interests without the trolling sort of generic personal attacks that are mass produced spam quality expressions of inferiority.

Free speech is the vital social blood of a democracy bringing competition of ideas to produce the best social results possible. Oppression of free speech through personal attacks amounting to a denial of services (the service of expressing one’s ideas for the public good) attack ought not to be tolerated. Standardized procedures for defending against personal attacks should be common in Internet forums such as Facebook. It is difficult to defend against mass communicated slanders and challenging too to defend against Internet dissing, yet coaching of Internet users to the facts of life would at least arm newbies with the knowledge of the nature of the beast.

The Obama Administration's Wise-Guy Lawyer Approach to Politics

Lawyer-Presidents have developed a somewhat bad reputation for ethics since Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton to that President Obama has continued. Attorneys-at-Law are fine legal practitioners and too often bad innovators or inventors without comprehension of material economic policy. Pursuit of disputatious legal points with minimalistic political competence may be a fact of life for Presidents with experience in law and little besides.

Sect. Of State Kerry advocates for Syrian Civil war negotiations and a regime change while providing material war support to the rebellious opposition making the war happen. Those are crocodile tears of sympathy if ever there was for civilian casualties. The Democrats descried the Bush II invasion of privacy with the Patriot Act and Ed Snowden's most recent revelation showed the N.S.A. Tapping 70 million french phone calls. The Obama administration fogged the French government's unhappiness with that as best they could.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-24628947

President Obama has practiced selective law enforcement while cutting taxes for the rich, keeping Gitmo open and furthering Harvard Business School interests as well as Harvard law. Presidential directed labor statics massaging creates a sense of unreality in the re[porting of the actual state of the economy and high joblessness rate. That's probably business as usual for a Chicago lawyer in the heat of getting rich himself. Billable hours of public debt to the client. Normal enough. The President's clients are the people of the U.S.A. 

Prayer for U.S. Federal Budget?; 'Give Us This Day our Daily Blog, And Forgive Us of Our Debts'

What can be said about the U.S. economy that wasn't mentioned in The Ropespinner Conspiracy already. That fiction book about a Soviet plan to stimulate a U.S. and world  capital economic meltdown like a super 1929 has it all. It anticipated the deregulation and bunk that restructured the banking system and investing. Well, Americans need to act out the plot anyway although some quarter century late. They will hand themselves perhaps yet it seems that it is their own invisible hand that will do the trick.

When national leadership isn't adequate and political-economic leadership outgrows the national borders good things don't seem to follow for the majority of ordinary people. Heck.

New Jazzy Supreme Court says; "Pigs are Free to Fly"

The Supreme Court of New Jazzy voted 6 to 0 to let pig go ahead and fly. Pilot licenses will be issued to applicants today. With reports of laser beams hitting commercial aircraft pilots approaching New York City alone reaching hundreds annually the financial prize for inventing a pair of laser-beam filtering sunglasses or visor is high. What would airlines pay for a pair of polarized anti-laser beams glasses? We thought to interview a typical pig in an aircraft pigsty.

“Capt. Pig, international swine have been piloting aircraft for some years now yet New Jazzy has lagged behind until recently, what was the reason for that?”

The swine had opaque the pigsty windows to defrappe laser beams and had a heads-up display visor in real-time of the New York flight way that screened out too bright light automatically, he said,

“To install a laser light direction finder on aircraft to locate the laser pointer source and send the coordinates to an N.Y.P.D. computer was a small leap for swine. The problem of social repression of swine and affirmative action taken to get rid of traditional values of oppression on the other hoof is a horse of a different color.”

I thought as an interviewer that a lecture by Captain Pig in a pigsty was a bit onerous, yet I listened in rapt fascination to his dissertation.

“Feminist and homosexual values are not simply Yin. Homosexuality Yin transcends the borders of Yin and Yang infusing entropy to the dialectical progressive advance of pigkind. When there are just too many pigs down on the farm advancing with affirmative action and over consuming the farmer’s limited natural resources population increase needs to stop to halt the overconsumption of non-renewable resources. Think-sty research believed that feminist and homosexual swine political philosophy would stop the population growth. Fag pig population declines for obvious reasons while feminist swine are believed to stop dropping piglets in preference for increased affluence when they can’t be troubled to dote on young swine. That isn’t true. In fact it’s a dangerous lie.

Male aggression is the only political power that can overcome the female lack of territoriality. Female pigs could be happy with 340 or 300 billion swine on Y’Earth while male pigs would kill each other off long before then and keep the population down. Male pigs are happy with a home on the range with a population density of just one pig per square 1000 miles while female pigs demand shops, mirrors and glamour boutiques with thousands of servants. Even if the number of swine decreases overall, increasing feminine swine affluence means that the increased desire for consumption of the lady swine becomes a scalar field increase with consumption for society increasing overall. Population reduction with increased resource consumption just means the obsolete value theory of generations of prior swine remains maximized to the optimal state of greed. True swine have new and better theories of male aggression and traditional values sublimated to positive fair and balanced ends. The means are swell as well.”

Well Captain Pig that does seem to mean a bacon of hope exists for the consumers of the new world order yearning to consume resources of North America and elsewhere across the globe with potential for exploitation with better technologies of extraction.

“Yes. Pigs have learned to fly and will make the better new world order.”

Economic Arteriosclerosis, Tim Russert and the Ropespinner Prophecy

The late Tim Russert was maxed out on live media news casting. He shared the rich working life immersed in the homo mongering existential networking of the 4th estate foisting evolving hegemonic rule  over the masses for profit. Rush Limbaugh is the bet noir of that broadcast media. He is the wayward son of a Judge that seized the day disdaining college to be a sports broadcaster here and now. Rush Limbaugh has evolved to become the fanfare for the common man- the sensitive analyst of radio market-share that knows his radio audience is largely uneducated like himself. Limbaugh champions the underdogs of the fly over South Beach heartland of the U.S.A. This essay is not about Rush Limbaugh. Instead it is about Economic Arteriosclerosis, Tim Russert and the Ropespinner Prophecy (I put that it capitals because it ought to be the title of this piece).

The Ropespinner Conspiracy was a fine forward looking fiction novel published in 1987 about the intentional Soviet subversion of the U.S.A. through a devious plan to bring capitalism to wild, crazy, unsupportable economic policy. That sounds like what actually developed in the Clinton years of deregulation. Michael Thomas sets the goal of the Ropespinner Conspiracy to create a 1929 style economic meltdown. Maybe he was inspired by the Reagan era supply-side economics of Arthur Laffer, I can't say. Thomas, the author, does quote novel prize winning economist James Tobin statement of uneasiness with the direction of evolving economics made in a 1984 speech.

James Tobin said, "I confess to an uneasy Physiocratic suspicion” “that we are throwing more and more of our resources, including the cream of our youth, into financial activities remote from the production of goods and services, into activities that generate high private rewards disproportionate to their social productivity." and "For this reason perhaps, high technology has so far yielded disappointing results in economy-wide productivity. I fear that, as Keynes saw even in his day, the advantages of the liquidity and negotiability of financial instruments come at the cost of facilitating nth degree speculation which is short sighted and inefficient."

Tobin's sense of the drift of the U.S. economy seems prescient-well at least right on the money. If the 2008 financial meltdown wasn't the main event, it was at least of prequel of the economic leveler waiting out there with the shape of U.S. economic policy and federal blindness to its failure of leadership.

Rush Limbaugh sells the politics to his largely non-college educated audience that they want, and that means promoting the Hispanics Ted Cruz and Mark Rubio because there are a lot of uneducated Hispanic Americans he could bring into the fold. Nothing is wrong with that, yet promoting politicians for demographic reasons produces as bad of results as promoting surgeons or airline pilots for race reasons that aren't terribly competent. The MahaRushie isn't as anti-intellectual as the Khymer Rouge of course though he shares in a way a desire to take politics back to the year zero. For Rush that means rolling back environmental and economic theory back to the year zero with Fred Flintstone lassez fair capitalism. People in that era didn't know any better. 

 Senator Cruz's baby-mama dropped him in Canada, and that's not the Canadian River country of North Texas where Will Rogers worked as a cowboy for a while. Advancing foreign-born Senator Cruz as a Presidential candidate further wrenches the Republican Party and the interests of the common man. The border is the only line of control keeping the world of zombies looking to eat American interests at bay. To let just one into the Presidency risks letting the world of zombies take control.

The President and the elites of Boston and Washington D.C. do seem to be in terminal condition on economic leadership. Hardening of economic theory arteries has brought the policy of no-change brinkmanship for dialectically opposite reasons to pump the same political poison through the arteries and veins of the nation with decreasing results. We would expect the cardiac arrest to occur as unexpected as one might expect. Tim Russert looked too-heavy and perhaps living on a diet of bacon bits, butter and sour cream on his baked potatoes along with thick juicy steaks and double frappe cappuccinos con leche. A nice guy but someone neglected to tell him that the fast lane can be dangerous-even Pete Maravich ran to death with his heart bursting on a basketball court. When the nation's economic heart bursts because of sustainably bad debt generating economic policy it will be more than one individual that suffers.

The diminishing returns of increasing public debt are interest payments on the debt that will soon enough be approaching a trillion dollars and the higher interest rates the government must pay for loans. In a low inflation environment that bites. If inflation develops though the costs to consumers rise. Seventeen trillion of debt on the way to 20 trillion before President Obama passes the buck to the next guy will be biting youth of today for a long time. It should require just some simple common sense to stop the economic bleeding with emergency economic policy, yet that will need to wait until a responsible adult with intellect occupies the White House.

It will be necessary to cut spending, increase taxes, halt illegal immigration and develop reform of capitalism and government simultaneously. Those are tasks larger that F.D.R. could have accomplished. Incidentally the F.D.R. couldn't get elected today if he were running.  He just wasn't Hollywood enough-especially with the handicap.

Speaker Boehner for President in 2016? Countdown to Econ Faultline

Speaker of the House John Boehner may emerge as the winner in the budget ceiling game of chicken bringing the nation’s public budget to the brink of default. That politician most deserving of merit promotion,  John Boehner is a political operator in the hot seat under extreme pressure running cool moderating between conservative and appeasement sections of his party as swell as leftocrat Demo Party apparatchiks in the Senate and Executive tranches of government.

Since Bill Clinton the people have failed to elect a President with substantive national political service experience (*Barrack Obama running virtually unopposed had a couple of years as a U.S. Senator). Clinton, Bush and Obama followed extreme ideological agendas rather than mainstream national interests. L.B.J. and Richard Nixon though on opposite ends of the national political debate were grand American Presidents without a narrow or foreign point of view.

An historical failure of democracy is in electing leaders that are popular instead of good. The public should have no difficulty in viewing Boehner in the role of President as a contemporary right-leaning L.B.J.  style operator coordinating reform and maybe making the change-promises that Barrack Obama made and failed to deliver (except for debauching social morality with homosexual marriage and forcing through a corporatist health care plan).

 As important as getting the Hispanic vote is that of getting the queer vote; Speaker Boehner would probably get the queer vote better than Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden. Negroes, Somali-Americans or whatever the politically correct term is these days vote essentially race-first and would vote for a Boehner-Rice ticket. So would I even though Boehner is no Ralph Nadir. Boehner could suggest that the Washington Redskins change their name to the Washington Whiteskins in order to get the vote of aboriginal Americans (those would be the people descending from the Amerigo Vespucci era of the North American continent history (as well as insular and island possessions).

In the Second World War some Nazis made lampshades from Jewish skins. On the other hand, in my intermediate school gym class boys played basketball with shirts and skins teams. That was fine if one wasn’t embarrassingly obese.  I can’t recall any tubs of lard at all. There were no vending machines in the school. Maybe the Redskin’s name should be reduced to just ‘Skins’.

I haven’t actually seen an American aboriginal with red skin. There are red states full of Chicoms (just joking) Republican voters. Maybe those are the real target of the hostility to the D.C. football team that if renamed the doofus’ would better reflect the political antics of the capitol. The Washington Redskins name probably have nothing to do with the imported tradition of taking scalps or skins-that’s a Wall Street and global banking quantitative trading practice this century.

What was the name of North America in the pre-Columbian era anyway? We know at least that Alaska was called Alaska so maybe North America should have its name changed to North Alaska out of respect for aboriginal tradition?

American political-economic leadership seems uncomprehending of the nature of change and realpolitik the past 20 years. Blinded by the bright lights of Broadway when the cold war ended with the advantage to capitalism the nation’s political leadership disastrously deregulated finance liberating a generation of greedy private investors to begin buying up everything abroad they could. Global financial schemes from derivatives to buying shares of Chinese businesses became the norm. The economic development interests of the United States were downsized in favor of support for the corporate investor’s global funds and stock portfolios. President Obama has continued that support following G.W. Bush and Bill Clinton while the nation’s economic house has become increasingly disordered and wealth concentrated.

Paradoxically the Chinese Communist Party leadership runs the world’s most fiscally conservative government and that is paying off richly. If financial conservatives at the national level is defined as working to develop one’s own national financial well-being first and foremost the Chinese are plainly winning as conservatives. American political and Wall Street leaders have for-themselves taken a liberal course investing globally, cutting taxes domestically and appeasing the populace with franchise burger-flipping jobs and providing the middle-class with tens of millions of illegal aliens for cheap labor. Wall Street has provided cheap imports for the poor and middle class to purchase. The U.S. government has built up 17 trillion dollars of public debt during the era of malevolent political neglect of U.S. national interests.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-24540574#sa-ns_mchannel=rss&ns_source=PublicRSS20-sa

A conservative international policy was an historical course for the U.S.A. until the international conflicts of the 20^th century. A liberal domestic policy without development of a costly federal government bureaucracy was also a normal state of affairs supporting national prosperity. For much of America’s history small farm holdings by families with a majority of the people producing food for-themselves made it more challenging for wealth to be concentrated. The gradual industrialization, urbanization and computer networking made Americans give up their farms and rural properties and become urban proles working for abstract global entities called corporations. 

Government altered its nature after the end of the cold war to reinforce the corporate elites and financially began flying by wire without sufficient regard to traditional national conservatism.

China may still be applying principles of national financial conservatism but the United States has forgot the hard lessons learned by the 1929-30 Wall Street crash and the depression of the 1930’s. There are real political-economic material facts of life on Earth that differ from abstract financial theories. Economic theory should be intended to support the national practice of economic well-being of the people of a nation. The real interests of the citizens are in prosperity, security, a good and flourishing ecosphere and a sense of spiritual freedom.

The alternative direction for economic theory is to apply abstract principles to benefit collectives called corporations as individual globally without regard to the interests of nations or citizens. Nations and national legal systems are the primary foundation for human and civil rights. Elites inevitably seek to redistribute civil rights and economic empowerment from the majority unto themselves. Erasing national borders is a fact for speed of light corporate economics today and erasing the real political boundaries that is a trendy accompanying propaganda effort to draft the public support toward a world in which they have no legal or political power at all. That is a bad direction for American voters to take breaking so bad the unknown founder would roll-over in his or her grave.

One wonders if John Boehner could orchestrate a symphony of national economic reform if elected to the White House in just four years. Politicians are such a mess these days after all running blindly through the streets of Pamplona like the bulls and the runners themselves chasing a golden orb of profit floating through the hills of China and the prairies of India while the forests of S.E. Alaska and other rain forests are under assaults by bank-financed loggers of old growth so big box stick frame dwellings financed by global networks can sprawl with asphalt and mercury vapor lamps.

President Buck Says; 'Debt Limits Are Extortion!'

President Buck of Globalistan said that organized crime has taken over the legislative branch of the nation’s government making extortion demands that his party participate in negotiating process. Long-standing Globalistan policy is to not negotiate with terrorist mafiososo; a good idea if they are actually mafiososo rather than legitimate political opposition. Drive by media and the World Bong are in support of President Buck.

 A caushush belly for economic war and revision, the extortion demand of the gang of legislators is that public debt not be increased. That criminal demand is of course against sound business policy wherein credit card limits are never given borrowing limits because the Globalistan Government will give zero interest loans to too-large to fail banks to the lenders. This is all just common sense as the President likes to say.

The Head of the World Monetary Anti-Extortion Fund has pointed out that without an increase of the Globalistan debt ceiling Globalistan will default on its foreign debts and the Global House of Economic Cards will collapse in a worse disaster than the first Frasier-Foreman fight. Global economics work like this...

The international financial elites invest in every nation globally and cut domestic spending on environmental conservation, public education, transformation to a low entropy business footprint wherever possible. U.S. public debt is supposed to help prop-up the Wall Street and Tootsie globalism with business regulation cut along with taxation. Advantaged individual investors and corporations can prosper, China can develop cheap production and rising consumerism and Americans of the middle class and poor can have public debt.

Fly by wire Wall Street global acrobat economics have the fundamental capitalist principle of self-interest and the public can hold the bag. In fact not only can public debt be increased, the poor can be blamed for that, for wanting to have food to eat. Public welfare outlays can he exploited as the primary reason for the greedy incompetence of global elites failing to implement a fair and balanced U.S. domestic economy as well as a global economy that relies on increasing Globalistan public debt.

The main problem now with the Globalistan economic situation seems to be the unwillingness of any of the elites to shoulder responsibility for competent new economic policy that fundamentally changes and upgrades free enterprise. Free enterprise with caps on the size of corporations, the number of corporations an individual can invest in, progressive taxation, caps on the quantity of mass and individual can consume privately or use in business ventures annually (mass quotas) and a basic welfare state that provides secure borders and guarantees of basic human needs will liberate human ingenuity for quality invention, patenting, production, full employment, good public health and so forth. Change is required and all are called to think, yet few are there that do so adequately.

President Buck will pass the challenge from the debt ceiling extortionists once more. Perhaps more tax cuts and increased public spending can be innovated along with a liberal increase of zero interest loans to challenge global banks.

President Expects Speaker Boehner To Lose Game of Chicken

The weirdness of Obamanomics that inevitably deepens the federal debt while concentrating wealth leaves us breathless. The President expects Speaker Boehner to lose the game of debt ceiling chicken and veer out of the crash course with the juggernaut of national economic doom the President is driving toward. Speaker John "Crybaby' Boehner probably will avoid the crash of federal fiscal default, too many Republicans are heavily invested in the Wall Street financial swindle to draw the federal debt line at 17 trillion dollars.

Why the President desires to crash the U.S. economy is something of a mystery. It is possible to generally consider the other main factors in the developing fiasco though. The media just needs someone to blame, and with the wealth owned preponderantly by Republicans it’s reasonable to support those leavering the organizational collectives known as corporations from both sides of the political opinion line.

The Democrat Party represents the rich and the middle class a little having thrown the poor under the bus some time back. President Obama was the scarlet pimpernel rescuing the Bush tax cuts twice from the jaws of expiration following his work at loaning trillions to banks and giving them zero-interest loans worth 85 billion per month. With Fed Reserve Chief Bernanke leaving he has nominated Janice Yellin to shout for the economic loaves.

The Republican Party of course works for global corporate collectivism through Wall Street stock networking. They are for-the-rich plutocracy with token references to classical American values of the founders. Not very nationalist these decades they have many non-abomination supporting nationalist plain Republican members deceived into believing the party has some nationalist pragmatism about it vestigially. Many of that sort of Republican migrates seasonally to the Tea Party.

The Tea Party's values are somewhat traditional, yet like libertarianist thought in the present era the global Plutocracy would benefit most from financial deregulation. It is just the poor and environmentalists that are concerned with reality nationally speaking, yet they have very little real representation.

Obamanomics probably will deepen public debt to 21 trillion dollars more or less. Interest on the public debt will exceed one trillion annually. The Obama cult of personality drawing in homosexual support is a rather unreasoning economic policy that has cash as a kind of unreality to be printed out or taken from the rich with no consequences for public debt. When the Premier of China asked Sect. Kerry about the debt recently that highlighted the problem facing the poor in the years ahead when the enormity of the debt brings financial austerity to the U.S.A. one way or another.

In the future financial austerity it is the poor that will suffer most with public programs for the poor being cut first and foremost. The rich and middle class will be invested globally and weather the financial storm well. The majority of democrats and the Republicans that aren't prosperous will suffer most and find an unsympathetic global majority unwilling to support a deficit financed life style for Americans with loans. The rich will have outsourced quality jobs globally and made it very difficult for Americans to negotiate for new quality jobs or defense of boundaries from illegal immigration. Loss of political power will be the most direct consequence for the Democrat and Republican middle class and poor who comprise such a tiny minority of the world's population. The President seems too happy to drive the economy into ruin, especially supported by a media with fantasy economic reporting about the U6 as well as the state of the environment.

Speaker Boehner will not stop public debt from deepening for he, as well as Chief Justice Roberts and bought and paid for by the global Plutocracy.

Federal Default the Tough Love Way to Reign In 20-Year Spending Spree?

The bright side of Federal budget negotiating failure is that it might compel budget reform. With the default date of 17 October fast approaching and the Democrat Party refusing to face the negotiating reality it is quite possible that the Federal Government may go into default on its debts for the first time and in so doing start the apparently necessary steps for budget austerity. Welfare to the rich and regulations made to concentrate wealth along with indifference about federal government reform have made the escalation of debt perennial. At 17 trillion dollars a default capping the debt might be the shock needed to get the rich politicians to put there thinking caps on about reform.

With federal default the cost of federal borrowing will rise. As it is the federal government for some time has been issuing electronic currency at zero interest to wealthy banks-about 85 billion dollars a month, so the money supply available for the government to borrow at a much higher interest rate is no problem. The federal economic geniuses will find a way to deepen the indebtedness of the United States while cutting programs for the poor without trouble. The poor are always the first to be thrown under the bus by corrupt governments.

It would be helpful if N.P.R. had it's federal financing cancelled. They make it difficult to take the U.S. Government seriously. With a KGB-like propaganda branch such as it is who needs foreign propaganda agencies?

President Obama's Half-Brother on Egypt's Terrorism Watch List?

Much has been made in recent weeks of the possible relationship of President Obama's half-brother to middle-east and North African terrorists organizations. Because the Muslim Brotherhood has been proscribed in Egypt recently, and they are Malik Obama's Sudan-based I.D.O. Islamic Dawa Organization parent organization, Egypt is contemplating putting Malik Obama on the terrorist watch list. I.D.O. may provide financial support to the Muslim Brotherhood.

http://mobile.wnd.com/2013/09/egypt-eyes-obamas-brother-for-terror-list/

President Obama apparently has a cousin off concern for terrorist support as well, yet there are a several references to Malik Obama's support for terrorism references on the Internet. One wonders if President Obama is entirely neutral on the topic of Middle East politics or if he is a little partisan?:

These kinds of Middle East data are a little far-flung for many Americans including myself. Its not exactly an implication of Billy Carter drinking beer behind the gas station or something. These might be weird right-wing claims that aren't true of course. I do not know if the somewhat less than useful regular broadcast media has looked into the issue.

President Obama Will Not Share Budget/Debt Ceiling Negotiation Says in Effect 'My Way or the Highway!'

President Obama failing to realize that the legislative branch was divided in half between his party and the Republicans last elections is adamantly unwilling to support Senate negotiations with House Republicans over the budget and debt ceiling issues. Senator Harry Reed of Nevada, the Senate majority leader is unwilling to work at all with House Republicans to resolve the government funding issue. President Obama has developed a propaganda putsch to blame Republicans for a potential government debt default yet everyone knows that its the guy in the White House and his party that get the blame eventually; the buck stops there.



The President is an odd negotiator. He threw in the towel to give the rich their Bush II era tax cuts permanently without getting anything in return, and he agitated for that. He has support Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke's electronic printing of 85 billion dollars a month of interest free loans to favorite bank, and yet he refuses to negotiate even partial funding for Veteran's education after returning from battle as well as other services for elderly and injured former service members and that is inexplicable. House Speaker Boehner has said he is willing to sign off on V.A. funding.

The President has chosen to make debt ceiling negotiations a turf war with a demand that Republicans sign off completely on what he and Senator Reed want. I have news for the President; financial negotiations are the traditional strength of Republicans, it was an ill advised tactic to choose that battle at this particular time to try to win. Republicans could easily let the thing drag out 60 days or more and let the Buffalo chips fall where they may.

Compromise is on budget requests is requisite for a divided legislature. One can't just refuse to play unless the other side throws in the towel first as the Democratic Party seems to expect in the debt ceiling mess. The President is appears willing to let the U.S. Government debt slide toward default unless he gets his way. It just may, and that crash would perhaps limit deficit spending in the future too. It would be a messy way to correct the history of twenty years of bad federal policy development. 

The bright spot in the dark economic cloud is that the economy needs to be reformed anyway to an ecological sustainable basis. Today a mink or a weasel with nearly white fur stood on my foot looking plaintively at me as if asking- "Why is it so warm in Juneau Alaska October 2nd without any snow even on the top of the area mountains?" If the creature understood English better than Republicans and Democrats communicate on debt ceiling negotiations I would have told it that bad federal economic policy has helped exacerbate global warming. And that's just the way it is.

Publication of "A Universal Widget - In the Realm of Forms"" (science fiction)

  I have published a philosophical science fiction novel named A Universal Widget - In the Realm of Forms. Basically it is an investigation of philosophical, cosmological and theological relationships.

  If given the chance to learn of the shape of things and why they are, wouldn't anyone? What is the realm of forms? What is a Universal form? Is every widget an imperfect reflection of a perfect widget, an image of the original? These are questions Socrates asked or some that he might have asked. There are answers that might change the way we think about reality.

Globalists Joust Over U.S. Budget In Debt Ceiling Clash

Where the Republicans and Democrats went wrong after the end of the cold war was in going entirely global while applying deregulation domestically to its financial markets letting the best laid scams of mice and Wall Street elites run roughshod over national democracy. As is the case when select conflicts are resolved Gresham's law of bad money following good developed. The intellectually deficient applied their half-baked concepts about capitalism in a global political environment without substantial resistance.

As when hubris strikes a cruise ship captain taking his vessel to fast and to close to a tourist sight running aground, or when a oil super tanker captain sleeps off some booze and let's his 3rd mate run onto a reef, and even when a hot shot pilot flies an aircraft under a wire to only catch it and crash America's financial and Wall Street elites supported by politicians of the second rank swell with theory and practiced basic incompetent political economy. So the world today at least in the West is somewhat worse off and of course the self-righteous gospel of unregulated capital is undiminished though the consequence of that is no more than bankruptcy of the United States and consolidation of wealth unto global plutocracy.

In the present amusing Congressional clash over Obamacare and federal default the inability of either Democrats or Republicans to work for the good of the nation is evident. Since the left to the Democrats through a workers of the world unite phase of a third Internationale or Comintern conditioning the effort to go global and belittle nationalism has gone forward. Paradoxically the capitalist elite side is even more global than the Democrats now, although some Republican followers of the rich make noises about nationalism, there is no national party. Republicans and Democrats make unpleasant Nazi noises about anything like a nationalist party that concentrates on making all of the citizens of the nation prosperous or being national debt free.

It is an insult to posit straight white American men as Nazis for being nationalist especially so since they are the group that defeated the Nazis in war as well as the confederates. In each case they were fighting against the emergence of global elites, oligarchies, dictators or monarchs to power in order to defend the principles of national democracy and true egalitarianism. That system still works best, in spite of the sophism, propaganda and power in support to global capitalism or collectivism transcending borders.

People Need Borders-Mammals Don't (They Die Off in Fragmented Forests)

An interesting article in New Scientist today noted that mammals die off in fragmented forests. The process takes only 25 years.

The U.S.A.'s forests are mostly fragmented. Divide and conquer and defeating the enemy in detail works in war as well as against wild mammals. Mammals are having a tough time of it. I would think especially so when there are a lot of people venturing in and through via highways. Mammals tend to become road kills and stew meat themselves with easy human access.

The good news is that the pace of deforestation in the Amazon has slowed down a little.

Obama, Cruz and the Birther Challenge; Revolution and Reversible Errors

Presidential candidate Barrack Obama encountered heavy political resistance by opponents claiming young Barrack was foreign born. So far Senator and possible Republican Presidential candidate Ted Cruz has experienced the phenomena. A birther movement hasn't yet surfaced to challenge his foreign birth (product du Canada). Ted Cruz was born in Canada and hence is technically most likely a British subject (in the fine print Canada didn't sever all relationship to the British Empire). If elected President Ted Cruz would be the first British subject President leading the United States since King George III (not a brother of George W. or H.W. Bush) and the British colonial status ended.

The American Revolution against foreign princes and powers embodied in the form of the British Empire in particular developed a constitution that excluded non-native born citizens from serving as President. That was just a practical matter to prevent America from lapsing back into colonial status. With Wall Street quite global, and Barrack Obama's father born in a British colony (Kenya) it is possible that America already has its first British subject President after the colonial revolution occurred even if Barrack Obama was born in Jakarta and provided with a Hawaiian birth certificate. If he is a native Hawaiian then at least he is native born although possibly a British subject.

Senator Cruz could go into the Canadian embassy in Washington D.C. to denounce his Canadian citizenship in front of the Canadian Ambassador then step outside and burn his Canadian Maple Leaf diaper yet he would still remain foreign born. That initial foot in the door of attack upon the native born requirement can be first significant crack in the hull of national sovereignty. The boundaries and borders issues are the foundation of a free society with citizens not subject to foreign powers. Political self-determination only occurs with real territorial sovereignty and rulers from the same polity as oneself.

Reversing the principles of the Constitution a little bit at a time has been a developing trend one since the end of the cold was. The left is too happy to denounce nationalism and secure borders. Yet the founding revolutionaries were all about boundaries and sovereign borders issues and paid with blood to secure the rights and privileges too may Americans are ready to relinquish. Never let it be said that any cat is spoilt, never spit into the wind nor fail to defend one's borders and economic sovereignty so far as possible.

Wall Street's globalism and the outsourcing of jobs have made concentrating wealth more interesting than improving the well being of the U.S. economy for all citizens in this generation. The trend has been for long-term downgrading of the earnings and employment prospects for a generation or two while the influential find better investments abroad. America's poor and middle class haven't been well served by their political leaders. Putting a foreign-born President in office and one that is even a British subject would be a sort of cherry on top to those globalists more allegiant to a Plutocracy than the United States.

Senator Cruz may be able to learn enough advanced economic theory given enough time and investment of effort to understand something of why the economy and environment is all f'd up and getting worse for so many Americans off Wall Street. I wish the Senator well in the effort. Participation in civic affairs is a good thing.

The Republican Party ought not follow up on the Democrat Party's selection of a candidate of dubious national origin with one of their own confirmed and immeasurably worse. It is important to defend the principal of the healthy forest and not lose track for the trees. Making the American Revolution a reversible error corrected by electing the foreign born and or subjects of her majesty the Queen to the highest office is just not the way things are supposed to be. The Republic has attacks and erosion from a world of political and economic avenues that sap the will of the people of the United States to be free and prosperous. The propaganda in support of their own worst interests is relentless. They may be persuaded by degrees to give up their special status and become ruled by oppressive foreign or domestic elites making them just another collection of numbers amidst a planetful of proles.

Sen. Cruz's About Obamacare and 1950's Style Free Enterprise

Canadian and U.S. citizen U.S. Senator Ted Cruz gave a rambling Castro-style never-ending discourse the evils of Obamacare and it's deleterious impact upon free enterprise overnight in something of a filibuster that isn't a filibuster with a vote scheduled to take place. Obamacare certainly has a lot of wickedness to it, yet it is impossible to want to take medical coverage from expanded Medicare for those poor living in 26 states that are slated to get it. Regardless of the merits or lack thereof of Obamacare I wanted to write something about the sophomoric ideas of Senator Cruz on the topic of how free enterprise works and how the middle class becomes prosperous.

If the Senator wants to become the next puppet President (an American tradition since Bill Clinton) he needs to develop more mature palaver about free enterprise and how it is the engine that makes wealth concentrate best yet still making it seem as if the permissible support businesses owned by the middle class are in some way actually the main stream of things today rather than the tail following the 1% around.

In the 1950's the ideas of the Senator actually were closer to coinciding with reality. In that largely before-the-computer era networking and defacto insider networking were not the prevalent kickback loops dominating the economy as they are today. Individual effort and character actually mattered. It was still possible inn America to invent something and afford to patent it as contrasted to here and now. Today invention patents  and profits trickle up  to the global corporations that employ most of the inventors or at least lawyers that can make multi-million dollar patent defenses beyond the means of America's poor and middle class.

The poor and middle-class in America today are far less able to upscale their individual enterprises before running in to the ubiquitous corporate ownership of everything and every existing financial transaction skimming or taking over about everything that might make a buck. Character is of lesser value now than the 1950s; at least virtue is in disrepute and raving collectivist characteristics and role modelling is what promotes individuals in the collectives and networks totalizing the global economy and outsourcing American independence to a plutocracy. I wish that Senator Cruz had addressed the real economic challenges facing America today instead of presenting a 1950s vision of a free enterprise utopia that is continuously under assault by Wall Street and Harvard University.

Harvard University affiliation seems necessary for a modern puppet President who can exploit its vast global networking alumni to kick back and control about everything. Harvard alumni are America's Rhodes  scholars reinforcing the global power of corrupt elites that care virtually nothing about individual American interests or national independence.

Senator Cruz was born in Canada and is the son of a Cuban immigrant.  A first generation political class immigrant he has joined the alternative way to move up to the middle class and beyond through government employment. Government jobs are some of the best existing in America regarding job security, pay and benefits. It is the lifeboat of security while the poor and formerly middle class jump overboard into the economic waters dominated by global and Harvard Wall Street sharks smelling for economic blood wherever it may be in the dark pool ocean of networked enterprise.

One can applaud Senator Cruz's effort to repeal Obamacare through the game of economic chicken that would crash the car of state into the wall of federal spending limits due to take effect October 17th of this year. Americans are good at criticizing and posturing. He is all-American in that regard and deficient like most in accurate economic and historical logic. Without ideas about how the economy actually functions these days and the way in which networking and the ad hoc collectivism of concentrated wealth dominates economic development it would be difficult to correct that situation to the advantages of poor and middle class Americans.

President Obama Doesn't Have a Budget Negotiating Game; Appoint a Czar

Shouldn't Pres. Obama Appoint A Budget Czar For Negotiations?

America has a surfeit of Nobel Prize winning economists such as Joseph Stiglitz. Isn't it possible that some of them might have ideas about budget reform that the President does not? One wonders if the President refuses to negotiate on the budget spending cap and Obamacare because he doesn't know what is in the Federal budget being a lawyer rather than an economist?

It should be possible for a good economist made budget czar to easily cut hundreds of billions of dollars from the federal budget of wasteful programs that Republicans like and want funded. Are new carpets installed in U.S. Senate offices-cut that out? Do subsidies exist or federal spending occur that benefits Republicans-then be responsible and stop it.

Sometimes it is necessary to steer the ship of state toward the safe harbor of reduction of national debt. The better way to accomplish that is to improve the efficiency of existing programmatic spending structures through reform rather than the inaccuracy of generic cuts. It should for example be possible to reform Obamacare even before it's fully implemented by cutting out the part about increasing Medicaid spending that only works in half the states and replacing that with an expanded V.A. hospital system that will include treatment for the poor. New construction of hospital and clinics in remote sites could provide jobs for documented construction workers. All of the nation's poor would be included and the nation would have a better public treatment structure in the event of national emergency such as could occur in event of nuclear, chemical or biological war.

Plainly the serious threats to national security collectively and to individuals are in the sort of harm to health the poor may experience any or even every day while the prosperous are aloof. They may experience the threats for real only in times of mass disaster when they run to the Federal government like Republican Gov. Chris Christie did pleading for billions and billions of money when hurricane Sandy splashed New Jersey with storm waves or change their minds about public medical provisioning such as Republican Governor Schwarzenneger had after suffering a compound fracture of a leg skiing at Sun Valley Idaho.

Negotiating with Republicans on the federal budget ought to be fun. More fun even that playing bullet chess. What's up with the President anyway; too much time on the golf course?
