President O. Signs Off on Budget Deal- Debt Ceiling Negotiations Next
President Obama signed a two-year budget deal today. The next congressional financial crisis is early in 2014 with negotiations on deepening the public borrowing debt hole. Democrats want to shovel down to China, Republicans want to throw in a little dirt from the poor people's pile.
One hopes the President will use bold and realistic negotiating tactics for once such as agreeing to cut the federal budget 100 billion dollars over two years in return for raising the taxes on the rich 5%. That's a win-win for better budgeting winners and a lose-lose for debt-deepening budget losers, plus or minus a times or two.
If only N.A.S.A. were given 5 billion to research and develop sub-surface sealed chamber fiber-optic lit lunar farming there would be a glimmer of hope for producing food concentrates to send to hungry people of Earth in 20 or 30 years.

Japan's P.M. Visits Shrine for War Dead to Offset Chinese Intimidation
Japanese Prime Minister Abe visited a shrine for the dead of World War Two probably in response to recent Chinese aggression against some small, unpopulated Japanese Islands with a claim of an air defense exclusivity zone for China over the islands. Basically Abe was saying "We're not wusses and will defend ourselves." Of course China and South Korea howled in protest because Japan was a cruel imperial invader of both nations in the 1930s.
Since the United States intervened in the second world war after a Japanese attack on Hawaii eventually defeating Japan the balance of power in Asia has evolved substantially. The United States is effectively the guarantor of Japanese physical security while Japan has limited its military role to a self-defense forces. China has evolved through communism to a mixed-market economy, prosperity and an expanded military. The prosperity and limited military role of Japan has made China swell a little as it asserts a blue water naval and air capability. The assertion of a Chinese Air Defense zone to make a hostile possession takeover of Japanese Islands is a bad, yet logical development with the perceived wussification of the U.S. military under the Obama homosexual marriage agenda.
While China has developed its nuclear capability the United States has allowed the unstable nation of North Korea to develop a nuclear capability. Japan is the most vulnerable and probable target of a surprise North Korean nuclear attack. Given the role of Japan as China's main rival to domination of the Asian economy and as an obstruction to Chinese rise to dominate the world economy it is not impossible that China would actually consider it beneficial for North Korea to nuke Tokyo. A North Korean attack on Tokyo is even more likely than an Iranian attack on Israel.
As the United States moves down the road to moral decay under Democrat affirmative action leadership sucking up to global corporate concentrated wealth and exploits a Democrat Judiciary and Lawyer-Executive hegemony to force moral decay upon unwilling states with decisions forcing homosexual marriage development of a separate yet superior Wall-Street economy and sluzba bureaucracy covered by an anti-egalitarian broadcast media propaganda and dissimulation power establishment the Japanese must wonder if the United States will long have the will or ability to defend Japanese territorial interests. Perhaps it is time that Japan is encouraged to rearm and improve its air-to-air fighter technology as well as electro-magneto-hydro-dynamic powered small, fast naval attack vessels to become an effective Pacific naval power.
China and North Korea have made the mistake, like many others, of underestimating the genius of non-conventional anti-conventional weapons systems that can be fairly quickly developed. Many underestimate the capacity for the human population to experience mega-death through a variety of lethal biological and improvisational weapons of physics. It is just a really bad idea for the Democrat Party to force immorality upon unwilling states and undermine democracy through executive corruption of the separation of powers via sophisticated politically incestuous subversion with saturation of lawyers in government in order to benefit corrupt elites and let the rest of the international relations scene evolve through bad directions to possibly deleterious ends.
Besides encouraging the Muslim Brotherhood to takeover the Middle East through subversion of lawful governments, the transition of U.S. investment capital to China instead of the U.S.A. and gross trade imbalance with China has led to perennial unaccountability of Wall-Street to the people of the United States as well as the government that props them up as a banker of god for their benefit. The irrationality of U.S. domestic and international policy has forced a general global error away from a more Godly utopian balance toward existential evolution without moral rationality. Japan ought to be encouraged to help itself militarily a little more, and to partner more with the U.S.A. in military exercises across the Pacific in order to offset the rise of Chinese aggression.

Demos- The Party that Sucks vs. Rich in 2014 Congressional Races?
Not a chance that the Democrats with their party-that-sucks policy will turn against the party for the rich (Republicans) in 2014. The turn of the Democrats to being just a party that sucks up to the rich means the poor and middle class that don't suck have no political representation any more.
Oh well. Democrats have taken a turn toward same-politics policies believing that sucking transcends everything. That's the fruit of their evolution ideas. At least they can get their papers from Federal Obamacare Insurance centers and be properly documented.
The happy news is that CBS reported real incomes went up two tenths of one percent. If one calculates Wall Street and Bank profits averaged in with everyone else that sounds about right. The poor and middle class just got moderately poorer. It would be instructive if they would report the income status of just the 95% sometimes so the numbers aren't so warped.

Venezuela Ought to Liberate This Christian Bishop From His Cell For Christmas
An Anglican Bishop appointed Defender of Human Rights in Venezuela earlier this year has been arrested and incarcerated for some time on some sort of financial charge. He hasn't been in that nation long enough to become part of a Bonnie and Clyde scheme yet. Brazil may be worse off than Argentina economically speaking yet they really ought to release the fellow for Christmas and at least allow him to return to Los Angeles if not his job in Venezuela.
There is some sort of false religion charge against Bishop Jylman Red Jurado Farfan and he is in the Yare III (Carcel de Caracas) gaol.
The new President of Venezuela Nicolas Maduro may be some sort of grinch neo-tyrant without good economic sense about free enterprise (it should be given free reign yet the size of corporations and number of employees capped in order to prevent oligarchy and concentration of wealth)-are there other prisoners that should be liberated in recognition of the birth of the Lord of the Universe and more? Hopefully President Maduro will get the Christmas Spirit and work for the Lord a little.

Federal Apartheid & Chinese Globalism
One
wonders how long the racial apartheid lands for American Indians can be
defended in the global political context of non-race based nationalism?
American liberals have traditionally defended Amer-Indian apartheid reservations
for humanitarian reasons. In the modern paradigm that may sound like Lester
Maddox or George Wallace advocating racial segregation now and racial
segregation forever on special set-aside lands.
Reservations
were created during an era when colonialism with set-asides for aboriginals was
a convenient way to relocate the savages. If that had been done by Napoleon for
Berliner’s, if he had won that war maybe World War Two could have been
pre-empted when a German Geronimo took the lead. The French Revolution
liberated Haiti and brought the mobile guillotine to lop off the heads of monarchy-aristocrat
supremacists enabling democracy to take hold. Depriving Germans of their
reservations even today is a continuing source of trouble with neos seeking to
breathe free of racial competition for First Peoples of Europe (pity the
Neanderthals)
So
long as the U.S. Government exists as a nationally independent body and the U.S.
Supremes hold apartheid-race reservation lands constitutional it likely will
defend the land selections for race/tribe clan-only use. However with the
co-option of the U.S. Government through public debt, lobbyists and globalism
the time may come when a heavily indebted and lobbied government votes to end race/tribe/clan
apartheid reservations in Alaska and across U.S.A.
Even
before the full corruption of the U.S. Government is ripe and it drops like a rotten
fruit to the ground of global tyranny under the U.N. or a Plutonomy union with
Chicom billionaires it may decide to have a season of business tourism and
flood Alaska with subversive gang members, cash and honey pots to infiltrate, takeover
clan leadership from a number of angles. China ’s Pacific Rim presence may become a
flood and business surge so large with a robust economy that it may seek to
convert Alaska like Africa or Australia into a resource colony as
Britain has before.
It
is challenging to explain why an Adolph Hitler acceptable racial purity policy
for ‘First Peoples’ in the U.S.A. that could apply equally well to a Germany
and Europe being flooded by non ‘First Peoples’ from Africa and Asia is o.k.
for non-whites but verboten for whites that doesn’t seem racist. Anti-racial
purity policies are popular in the corporate world and are used to exploit
local nations in justifying illegal immigration. What is plain is that
duplicity is at work, democracy in decline and wealth is being concentrated.
Whose fault is that?

On the Gospel of Luke; Evangelist, Physician, Artist
Luke- A physician named Luke, born in Antioch was
the author of the eponymous gospel account. His Greek language skills are
flawless and he wrote Hebrew well. He was a companion of the Apostle Paul and
writes in the most physically descriptive way of the synoptic gospels. He is
mentioned in Paul’s epistles of II Timothy 4:11, Philemon verse 24 and
Colossians 4:14.
Luke like Matthew, Mark and John was able to draw upon the collected experience of the disciples and church of the day. He is said to have died in 84 A.D., probably martyred. It is notable that the Apostles best suited for writing to select groups, in this case the Greek speaking world, produced the four gospels. Coordination in the early church to develop a Universal collection of writing explaining the Lord’s soteriological life and mission seems likely. The late Francois Bovon observed the gospel according to Luke’s ‘sense of joy’. Others have observed the artistic quality of the work as literature.

Luke may have been one of the 70 disciples sent out by Jesus
into the world, or not. If he did not meet Jesus Christ in-the-flesh, he
certainly meet many of his disciples and was well able to record with a shared
feeling of compassion the meaning and purpose of the life of the Lord. Luke was
a painter and reportedly produced the first Christian icons, as many as 600
raising.

Duck Dynasty's Phil Roberts Shot Down by L.G.B.T. Political Foes
The
ugly censorious head of corporatism entered to take down an individual for
expressing an off-the-job opinion. Phil Robertson being interviewed by a slick
tabloid reporter made some disparaging remark about ‘homos, terrorists and
drunks’. Classifying homos with other threats to male security was going too
far for the Arts and Entertainment network management that choose succumbing to elite homo sponsor's will-to-kill expression of antipathetic political opinion. Such is the way of globalism.

Obama as a natural untouchable caste member may himself yield to India ’s political elites and
join the maid-beating politicians attacking American labor laws and immigration
requirements to pressurize the federal prosecutor in New York that charged an Indian
diplomat with lying on a visa application to get cheap imported labor. If the
President takes the side of the Indian elites all of America ’s poor and middle class may
be on the slippery slope to the untouchable class too.

Indian Diplomat's Job Scam Lands Her in Jail-Double Standard for Rich Expected
Protests have arisen in
India over an arrest in New York of an Indian diplomat for running an employment
scam claiming she was paying an imported worker thousands per month instead of
the actual $3.31 an hour. Makes one wonder how many U.N. diplomats are also
claiming to pay good wages to menial workers in order to pocket the difference
after a low actual wage is paid. Taxpayers in India should be glad that at least
one federal prosecutor was intolerant of a double standard for the rich. It
would have been good if contractors in Iraq being paid high wages by the U.S.
Government for workers actually paid minimum wage were held to the same standard
(see Halliburton's War).
http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/12/17/21941866-arrest-search-of-female-diplomat-in-nyc-despicable-and-barbaric-indian-official-says?lite&ocid=msnhp&pos=1It is possible that the diplomat wasn't really scamming her own government as well as the U.S. Government claiming to pay 30,000 rupees per month ($4,500) to her maid. The Deputy Consul General of India didn't have diplomatic immunity because lying on immigration/visa applications to meet qualifications for domestic servants isn't an official part of the diplomacy business.
India has threatened retaliation as if they could find illegal aliens working for the U.S. State Department right away in time to make the news cycle. It was reported that there are some protests in India about the alleged strip search of the diplomat who they believed should have been treated better than other prisoners-especially because she is a woman and maybe rich. In India the police, it was reported, manhandle only poor women and defer to the delicate criminal sensitivities (that wasn't reported) of the rich.
Plainly the cost of making arrest being in the thousands of dollars, India should be expected to repay the U.S. taxpayers for the cost of the arrest and trial if convicted, and pledge never ever to underpay domestic staff again if they are working in New York.
Corporate & Government Data Mining; Egress to the Orwellian State?
One area of spiritual decline for Americans is that of individualism vs
authoritarianism. Ubiquitous federal and corporate data mining and
surveillance isn't something that the founders would have believed good.
It's a real contrast with the American ideals of individual liberty
with privacy.
Advancing the Orwellian corporatist state is the way things are, setting up the possibility of distopian futures I would think.
The philosopher Jean Paul Sartre wrote another book besides Being and Nothingness. The Critique of Dialectical Reason is largely an analysis of social interaction and of the individual's place in groups and organizations. Large organizations such as governments and multi-national corporations have their own social golas, policies and codes of conduct for their minions. It is large organizations threatening the freedom and opportunities for enterprise of individuals. Too little taxation on wealthy individuals owning shares in corporations allows preferreed network location insider algorithms for concentrating wealth. Because the world economy and politics may become totally dominated by networks of corporate wealth and governments repressing individual liberty becomes second nature. It becomes routine to censor dissent through a variety of legal means and expropriate intellectual capital in the trickle up to the insider thugs phenomenon.
Then again, they may be monitoring your keystrokes and looking at you through your computer's camera lens.

U.S. Economic Growth Just 1.6% in 2013
Enriching
the Wall Street Banks with zero interest Fed loans has enabled in part global
investments to enrich Saudi Arabia, China, India, Argentina and other economies
with hot economic expansion rates of G.D.P. In October 19th The
Economist reported the U.S. G.D.P. rate with a 1.6% rate for 2013, China’s at 7.5%, India’s at 4.4%, Argentina’s at 8.3% and Saudi Arabia’s at 5.1%. The U.S. rate is probably puffed
up by the Wall Street bank and investor profits on investments in foreign
economies.
Even
a zero-quantitative rate of economic growth is o.k. if qualitative growth
increases, public debt is reduced, the environment restored and the quality of
living of the poor and middle class increasing. Such right-thinking policy are
perhaps considered in some collegiate ecological economic colloquia yet definitely
not in the U.S. Government or on Wall Street.
Since
the Obama administration generally followed Bush II economic policy with
permanent Bush II tax cuts the economic interests of the poor and middle class
have continued to be stagnant if not downward. Nothing in the administration
policy seems designed to counter that. The big question is; will the President
get in his 200th round of gold before January 1st?

Why Lawyer-Presidents Harm U.S. Economy and Morals
On the topic of what requires more faith, science or religion; consider the diverse nature of science with millions of experiments. Sometimes the data acquired leads to conflict scenarios for applied science. Radithor was a bottled health beverage sold to American sports elites in the roaring twenties. Its warming ingredient was radium. The new thing isn’t always the right thing. How bad are excess antibiotics in the ecosphere?
To a certain extent an era of corporatism coincides with a period of legalism. Legalism morphs into authoritarianism and oppression of citizen test-subjects. Litigation can dominate political and corporate free space for enterprise displacing individuals with better ideas. Faith in science develops a requirement for faith in corporate financing power or big government research funding.
Electing lawyers to political office to make public policy is comparable to feeding cattle ground up dead cattle pellets inducing prions in political brains and mad cow disease in the populace. It’s as bad an idea as having the CEO of Morgan Stanley serve concurrently as the federal banking regulator or the Chief of Exxon setting the rate of the oil depletion tax allowance.
Lawyers making laws for-themselves establish the ultimate Soviet Style class bureaucratic sluzhba for insiders without a clue of what people want or society needs in the free world. As the ultimate insiders passing laws to benefit special interests confidant they have the muscle to force through and defend their favorite laws, going so far as to pack courts with simpatico lawyers for rubber stamping approval of corruption without need for consent from a political power minority of opposition, public debt and moral decline metastasize.
Experts on everything in their own view because they occupy high ground on the legal and political battlefield the populace couldn’t hope to storm without heavy casualties fighting uphill against established lawyercratic rulers (if they weren’t doped out with media soporifics and dissimulation in support of the ruling class) bad ideas multiplied by the factor of lawyers in politics become a Medusa’s Gordian knot of laws. Free enterprise is qualitatively repressed in the mass corporate-government lawyer filters of power when it has potential to alter the insider edge deleteriously or economically. Remember Gillette’s suppressed shave crème; The Hot One!
The failures of public policy made by lawyer-politicians are multiplied by the hubris of too much faith in themselves and proprietary interests being good for society as a whole. The exploitation of Adam’s Smith’s ideas about enlightened self-interest applied to lawyer-politicians is a tragic debasement of philosophical thought influenced by Adam Smith, and even modern science has experienced some debasement of its currency value because of Gresham’s law that bad money follows good.
Tabletop fusion and miracle drugs claims need to be verified rather than exploited for instant political gains comparable to claiming low unemployment just before and election that facts will controvert later. The Economist in an Oct. 2013 issue had a special section on ‘How Science Goes Wrong’. Page 13- “Amgen, found that they could reproduce just six of 53 “landmark” studies in cancer research.” The economic motivations for rapid assertions of scientific progress make for shoddy science. Amid the good science arises a lot of bad. The Economist editors mentioned the principal of ‘trust but verify’. One may have faith that matter and energy can be reconfigured for the human good or that the Universal configurations of matter and energy in the past were of a given shape, yet uncertainty enters into anything except those things of faith that one may have in Spirit.

Value Theories in Contentious Political Economic Contexts
Lawyers and philosophers obviously take a different approach to language and analysis. Sometimes attorneys seem to be on stilts because of their insider position in society in regard to law, government and so forth. Winning points may seem to be of more value than finding the truth. One might discern that trend in Congressional budgeting. Definition of words and language and theories about that such as W.V.O. Quine developed in 'Ontological Relativity' let us consider lexicons as sets with unique values that may or may not have meanings coinciding with homonyms of others. It is a paradox that 'value theory' itself could be construed as having different meanings, definitions or values within which capitalism may or may not be included.
Is capitalism not more than an economic theory and monetary theory not also a value theory criterion? Von Mises and others considered the nature of capital-is it in money or in factories, social power and etc. without reaching a particularly persuasive conclusion. Capitalism may be an event-process comprising acquisition of economic power however capital itself is a value theory component in so far as what is regarded as valuable is a variable set by consumers as well as physics. Hollywood stars may pay a lot for cocaine and value that more highly than growing potatoes on an acre or two of land (or not) for instance, while shells were valuable as a money item to some natives of New Guinea and others believed gold to be the Texas T of the time.
The United States has predominantly had one value theory in recent decades-especially the 'me decades' of the 1980s and 1990s when material girl values and blimped up banks empowered with Monty Carlo algorithms, computers, mortgage derivatives and globalism arose ads phenomenalities in an existential pursuit of financial power and consumption. That is well known. Spiritual values were in decline along with innumerable traditional values even as the ecospheric decay such as the ozone hole, global warming, acidification of the ocean and biodiversity loss were considered to be externalities to the organizational use-truth value theories of corporate profit above all social responsibility.
I think some may misconstrue ideas about God and time. God always was, eternal being has no temporal beginning. The 'in the beginning' phrase from the book of John would be in relation to the temporal creation of things such as any given Universe.

our Lord Jesus Christ were composed in four different styles. Scholars have
made much verbal analysis of the similarities, convergences and divergences
among the books. Theories to explain the nature of the books exist, in addition
to the writing itself. The idea that the stylistic differences are attributable
to the practical effort to present a work intended for Jews to learn (Matthew),
one for the Roman world to experience (Mark), another for Greeks with their
philosophically sophisticated people (Luke) and the Gospel according to John
with it’s great theological insights upon the divinity of Christ for believers
seems quite reasonable to me.
Because of
the degree of common content in each book with more between Matthew and Mark
and less between Luke, John and Matthew and Mark some have hypothesized a
missing mystery document called the Quelle document or Q source (from the
German word used by scholars originally for source). One can imagine many
explanations for shared language in the gospel book. Maybe Peter directed a
project to write accounts of the good news of the Lord for different audiences.
Because the disciples knew Jesus and the Apostles new people at least who knew
Jesus many of the recollections are first or second hand accounts of important
events and works in life of Jesus Christ, although not concise biographical or
historical documents. They are adapted for various reading audiences sometimes
in their own language with content selected from among a large amount of
information about the Lord that was especially relevant and informative.

End Times of G.W. Bush Admin (June 2007) Revisited-Looking Forward to Obama's Final Year in D.C.
I was
editing an article I wrote on Bush II policy in June 2007. It is critical of
the administration immigration policy (the President was for it), outsourcing
jobs and corporatism. The Obama administration hasn't change much except to
queer things. He might already plan for his last year in office in 2016 and get
better propaganda for his legacy since there will be plenty of public debt, a
bad ecosphere, reliance on fossil fuels, high unemployment and an effort to
create 20 to 50 million dual citizenship Mexican voters able to hand off to
global corporatism effectively political control of the U.S.A. ending democracy
(though it would remain nominally with Mexican subjects holding dual passports
being the electors.
Economic
segregation is the operative, objective metric for U.S. citizens in the U.S.A. considered on an individual basis in dollars.
"A U.S.A.
grafted onto by a permanent Mexican right-of-return to the U.S.A. (even if
they've never been here before) by cowering congressmen fearful of China or
more Mexican May Day protests in the streets of D.C. and Los Angeles yet
relying on their cheap labor to give constituents a prosperous, comfortable
'rickshaw boost' with cheap products at Wal-Mart is a nation in which democracy
has become defunct and replaced by corporatist, globalist oligarchic
collectives will. That turn away from democracy and road ahead may seem alright
as the U.S.A.'s inherited comparative advantage is being cashed out and
invested abroad, but the pimp's income falters when opulent attractions of his
line of sweet products becomes old and second rate and meth-amphetamine broken
down economically speaking...the consequences of fossil fuel addiction, federal
debt and non-investment in secure borders and high-quality ecological
technology manufacturing in the U.S.A. in preference for reliance on cheap
foreign labor.
History demonstrates that nations relying on exploiting cheap labor retard their social and economic growth. The confederacy of course needed to launch a war upon the north before the north pulled away too far in manufacturing and technical prowess while the southerners relied on slaves.
The imperial Russian government's historical reliance on white slaves (serfs) was the actual source of
In commercial kitchens cheap labor to empty trash cans replaces innovations in portable low cost lifts to lift and dump individual garbage cans into larger powered inter modal carriers to lift into dumpsters...even commercial kitchen garbage cans fail to have built in weighing and L.E.D. read-out displays so the poor laborer knows if the trash can has 100 or 200 pounds of water, coffee grounds, meat waste and other heavier materials. Too many Americans want easy, good paying non-inventive employment positions with the heavy lifting exported.
The end result of the denial of democracy and failure to comprehend corporatism and socialism is the loss of liberty politically and comparative national economic advantage. In a corrupted global economy without liberty in which the best Mafia rule the worst potential of humanity is expressed with the more dystopian empirical political actualizations having the best chances of actualizing.
Corporatism was only invented by Mussolini in the 1930's and isn't generally understood by Americans or others internationally. Corporatism and neo-corporatism have permutated and evolved beyond the initial theoretical inception as real political structures usually do. Neither Marx nor Smith had a conception of the potential synthetic business form that would displace capitalism and democracy in the move towards a combined capitalist and state socialist authoritarian society. After the end of the former Soviet Union in 1990 and 'the end of history' as some wags then had it the New World Order of synthetic socialism-capitalism could begin to grow, yet some still seek to conserve a nationalist democratic America with liberty and justice for all Americans in a thriving ecology leading the world in space technology and green manufacturing creations.
President Bush and Senator Kennedy, two former heavy alcohol drinkers without combat experience are prominent advocates for border control defeat in order to let cheap labor continue to flood out the American poor and middle class for the convenience of globalist corporatists. A trained former P.O.W. is another leader in the effort to yield the
A border control zone a mile wide should be ecologically designed along the Mexican border to make passage of illegal entrants highly improbable; this could include deep ditches with berms and drive atop patrol roads, fences and water barriers with saltwater siphoned from the Gulfs and utilized for recreation and travel of small boats. Some evaporation and condensation canals may be attached to create fresh water supplies for new Mexico and Arizona as well as Northern Mexico if laws are passed to replace green laws in desert cities with natural desert landscaping while federal research incentives to conform present asphalt highways into heat reflecting and solar photon-electron generating surfaces could be developed.
President Bush at the end of his administration seems to desire to obfuscate his opposition to the
