What is the Logic of New Sanctions on Russia?

The rationale for new sanctions on Russia isn't evident to me. One sanctions in order to correct something or to get something, rather than nothing. The new sanctions were punitive rather than a lever to exact a concession, as is usual in diplomacy. Russia cannot release some jailed homo or something the administration might desire in exchange for a repeal of the most recent sanction.

The reason for the sanction said the administration was the use of a nerve agent in Britain that killed an individual. No proof was given that Russia was to blame, yet even if they were, could they resurrect the dead to end the sanction?

There are more than six nations that have the particular nerve agent in question, so it is not necessarily Russia responsible for the death. In fact the premise of innocent until proven guilty seems lacking here. Democrats have that policy toward President Trump, but that is no excuse for passing the unsupportable blame on Russia. That does harm to the U.S.A. as well as the cause of international justice.

Maybe the President is just trying to appear patriotic for PR purposes. He should however be more concerned with upholding the principles of justice.

The Berlin and Other Government Walls

The Berlin Wall divided two different political frontiers. As Hadrian’s Wall and Offa’s Dyke were built to keep opposition forces at bay, the Berlin Wall kept capitalists and their agents out as well as forcing their own people not to venture outside the communist world where they could be contaminated by Elton John and Pink Floyd.

Defense walls are one of the most ancient products of government. Jericho had a wall since fallen to ruin thousands of years ago. North American aboriginals never used stone defense walls, except for one excavated a few years ago in North Dakota that protected a city long gone. They were an exception to the rule. Signs of fatalities existed at the wall.

Communism was totalitarianism or for some, a socialist version of anocracy. It was a form of government disliked not only by many of its subjects, capitalists hated it too. Soviet and communist frontiers were designed to defend against clandestine and conventional invasion. The Wall was simply one element in the great ideological war between Marxism and the Free World.

Not all East Berliners were non-communists. Communism had some popular support I would guess. When the 1993 White House in Moscow conflict occurred between Yeltsin’s tanks, the public and those supporting the Supreme Soviet in the White House, there was residual though not overwhelming support for communist government as theoretically it provided food to the starving as well as Dachas for the elite party members.

There have been other walls or dividing barriers placed between rival political and social cultures in modern times. One that springs to mind is the zone of rubble and junk dividing Turks and Greeks at Cyprus. The Israelis have built a wall to keep out Muslim suicide bombers, and famously, the demilitarized zone and barriers existing between North and South Korea have existed since the 1950s.

United Nations Buffer Zone in Cyprus - Wikipedia

If governments and citizens of nations have no issues with one another, and if there would be no difference if a wall existed or not, in the absence of a wall, walls generally are not built.

European housing, especially in Italy, is notable for the defensive-like architecture with interior courtyards for security, that existed in pre-contemporary eras. When law enforcement was not so good, people needed to defend themselves against a world of wandering criminals, gangs and so forth.

Pros and Cons of The War on Drugs

The War on Drugs was controversial. It had its supporters and opponents politically. It resulted largely from narcotics flooding the U.S.A. and the damage that caused to U.S. society. Stopping importation and sales of narcotics was a worthwhile though challenging task. The issues of arresting the flow of narcotics and what to do with those arrested are, and were, different issues.

Mass incarceration of drug offenders as well as other criminals doesn’t have a great record for effective correction. That is more of a social and governance design problem difficult to correct itself. An ineffective corrections system, or one regarded by some communities as unjust or racist, creates social issues and substantial problems for-themselves.

Crack cocaine and meth apparently are quite addictive. Users get involved with other crimes-sometimes violent, to support their addiction. A culture of corruption develops; individuals fail to act like responsible citizens, neglect the book-work, and are a kind of hippie-yippee-wiseguy subculture. They often die early even outside of prison.

There is no question that a war on drugs should exist. It is a matter of how the war should be waged; that is, how can the problem be addressed socially and governmentally. It is a social challenge to have so many millions of citizens pursuing decadent and socially destructive activities.

The illegal drug sales phenomenon fuels organized crime. Some Latin American nations may be near narco-states heavily influenced by drug traffickers. Some of those nations are challenged to have civil order free of the on-the-street adversity of the presence of organized crime. Drug gangs have replaced the social niches formerly occupied by guerrilla armies in the region, to a certain extent. In the United States television and movies employ drug users that have political influence and choose to pursue agenda that can be destructive to traditional national values. The wrong people end up with a lot of cash.

National values can always use upgrades. However it isn’t credible that dope users would generally be the source of solid, innovative, intelligent thought about how to improve society.

Nope; 2018 Isn't the Year for World War IV

The Cold War was World War III considering that millions died and it was quite globally diffuse. World War IV won’t occur soon. The major nuclear powers are too powerful for total war. The historian Arnold Toynbee wrote about that in his 1974 book ‘Mankind and Mother Earth’. A knockout blow to win a war between heavyweights has tech too large to use. Lesser powers would not be allowed free reign of the world to war either because of the harmful effects on the economy and ecosphere and would be terminated swiftly.

The best chance to get an equivalent or better amount of global destruction and death that a conventional World War IV would cause is anthropocentric ecospheric damage through economic methods, yet that takes time beyond 2040 to develop. Other than that if one hopes for a true W.W. IV they would need to be content with some rogue planetary biological sneak attack that is democidal.

Issues with F.I.D.E. and Government Restructuring

Why is it that F.I.D.E. can't be a web-based transparent agency with transparent processes for official business? A systems analyst and web designer with some accounting and networking consults should be able to construct a working, practical template fairly easily. One could still have a President, yet especially anything financial ought to be publicly transparent on-line.

Sometimes it can be useful to go about restructuring organizations so they function well. The Russian Federation has challenges like that. They have a Super-President with extraordinary powers as well as a constitutional government and partly elected officials. They too could upgrade and will need to do so in order to provide a good example of a transparent on-line democratic system of governance.

If Alpha-Zero or Stockfish were as poorly organized as F.I.D.E. they would have a rating about 1150 with annual blunders eternally recurring and hyper-dimensional one way communications to aliens.

I discovered a free college course about Russian Governance and Public Policy from St. Petersburg State University via coursera.org that has hundreds of free college courses from around the globe, and learned of something of the nature of challenges that Russia has today.

Political Governance and Public Policy in Russia Course On-line

For those interested in Russian governance and public policy as they are today, from a Russian professorial point of view as taught at St. Petersburg University for Coursera (where there are hundreds or thousands of free college-level courses from Universities around the world), this course of six weeks length is starting soon.

https://www.coursera.org/learn/political-governance-russia/home/welcome

It is incredible that the 'professionals' at state and elsewhere in government can't ever work things out so they work smoothly- even after all the work Reagan put into it. Maybe they should learn more about Russia today; as should the public, since the media isn't trustworthy at all- nor several of the major internet platforms.

The United States rates an 8 of 10 score on the polity series of democracy vs dictatorship in nations with more than a half million people. Russia got a 5 rating, like Ukraine. Canada got a 10 as did the U.K., though it has a technical royal aristocracy lurking in the background, while Canada has legal dope and homosexual marriage indicating that the polity authors may approve of sin as tests for democracy. Maybe corporatism and Internet tricks to provide content before being banned, purged or expropriated is part of the reason the U.S. is not rated a top-notch democracy.

Everything Wrong With Casino Royale in Twelve Minutes or Less

The Instant Historical Revisionism Power of Apple, Facebook and YouTube

When major video content platforms take down content posted by the public that has been viewed and linked in many other webpages because they have banned it as using hate speech, they in effect create instant historical revisionism. Deleting from the present the historical content of producers with divergent political points of view from the most rich corporations such as Apple is something even people with a minor in history don't like.

I don't like big gaps in the history of what went before as if it never existed. All of Alex Jones' old content should remain and a ban if it must be used should apply to new stuff. Then reality would be keep with a semblance of integrity. To simply cut it out and erase very influential elements of social reality is evil. 

The Congress should expropriate funds going to NPR and reallocate them to start a new public back-up of posts content that would keep a permanent record of items posted on social media that the posters want backed up. Then history could at least be conserved, and people of the future could get some idea of the true social media content of the past rather than sanitized versions allowed by Apple, YouTube and Facebook.

https://www.garycgibson.us/2018/08/vast-l-wing-conspiracy-takes-down-r.html

Alex Jones' Internet platform was under real and solid attack. He has had his political shows taken down from Youtube, Facebook and Apple podcast. Fundamentally those corporations are under the sway of homosexuals that hate anti-homosexual  political positions. Jones is a prime supporter of Donald Trump so the Democrat corporations have good reason to pull the plug on political opposition. It is Mussolini's political philosophy of corporatism in action. When President Obama's Supreme Court allowed hate speech and hate crimes legislation  to become law the corporations were armed with an example to emulate useful in killing free political speech and opposition points of view. Corporate wants shit eating mutts for sycophancy in the media.

Alex Jones reports on an important side of current events and social structure the establishment usually ignores. The 1% concentrating wealth is not an illusion. The Democrat Party is deaf, dumb, blind and stupid these days in working as hard as they can to destroy the heritage of national independence and self-reliance so far as possible. They are shop stewards working for the rich as leaders of a company-owned union. The broadcast media is owned by that 1% establishment- it isn't imaginary.

A good Canadian philosopher named John Sauls published a book on corporatism in contemporary society in 1999 named The Unconscious Civilization. I don't believe he has written another book on that topic since. I recall him writing someplace that he had a family to take care of. Corporatism can shut anything down just like Muslim theocracy, imperialism and communism can.

https://www.cnbc.com/2018/08/06/apple-pulls-alex-jones-infowars-podcasts-for-hate-speech.html  Apple the Trillion dollar corporation removed most of Alex Jones' podcasts; that's corporatism at work and a reason why the government should have some kind of citizen back-up venue to let publishing remain permanently even when public corporate platforms disappear.

https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/friedrich-hayek/notes.html quote from note #7 "Adaptation to the niche of political entrepreneurship consists of becoming a better predator in a game where the predators make the rules. Politicians learn to cooperate, to be sure, but mainly with fellow predators. An evolving political order is increasingly dominated by corporatism (more pejoratively known as crony capitalism, where politically favored CEOs acquire the power to regulate their competitors), which is entrepreneurship of a destructive kind. Boettke 1995 articulates the theory of public choice implicit in Hayek."

SPLC appears to have left a semblance of neutrality and objectivity these days being so far removed from the 1960s and later when there were actually numerous groups perping violence that required tracking. SPLC could include CNN and the Washington Post these days and possible the Governor of New York on the list of extremists if they wanted to be objective. Throwing in powerful political bullshit in with the genuine articles degrades the credibility and reputation of SPLC. They aren't Elie Wiesel Inc.

I wonder about the Southern Poverty Law Center being an extremist organization using words and target listings of individuals in the attempt to socially marginalize them. Alex Jones, Bo Gritz and Gary Demar all made the list with Alex Jones being listed first on the list of 129 extremist individuals. American individuals should be free from organizational social terrorism.

Sure the Southern Poverty Law Center includes numerous people that probably deserve being listed, yet I suppose they also omit numerous people and  organizations including ANTIFA, because they are leftist or communist.

Use Coefficients of Positivity as Well as Adversity With Russian Diplomacy

Instead of just placing the same old sanctions on nations that have dubious value and leave things as they are or worse in some cases, politicians should be expected to open new fields of co-operative endeavor with any nation with new sanctions that comprise a positive coefficient. Creatively accomplishing new and positive items politically is more challenging for propliticians than sanction. Sanctions don't require imagination while positive joint ventures does. Coefficient of positivity as well as adversity may exist concurrently.

Vast L Wing Conspiracy Takes Down R. Wing Conspiracy Theorist

Hillary Clinton basically got the polarity reversed in panicking about a vast right wing conspiracy. It was a vast left wing conspiracy with the help of the most rich corporation on Earth that took down the leading right wing conspiracy theorist rather than vice versa. The richest corporation on Earth; Apple, led by an egregious homosexual, were quite unwilling to allow a critic of homosexual marriage to continue to say what he thought.

Alex Jones will survive the Apple, Facebook, YouTube slaughter, yet his proplits were probably trimmed. If Bilderburgers orchestrated the purge it may be that they are not yet done. Defenders of the purge issuing apologetics will obfuscate the salient points of corporatism and concentrated wealth controlling free speech.

Jerry Brown Could Have Prevented the Mendicino Fire

When I traveled through the Lake Mendicino region infrequently since 1977. I wrote a poem on one of the side roads off Hwy 101 and noticed the dry, piled up leaf cover on the ground. It was in most years tinder dry and readily combustible. The forest ground cover was so thick that any reasonable individual knew it was a catastrophe waiting to happen. The state is supposed to anticipate easily foreseeable things like that and use prophylaxis against fire. Madrone and Eucalyptus leaves burn.

Blaming global warming is easy. Being more proximal regarding causality though, it was the state's lack of fire prevention that let the fire rage. There are so many human sources of forest fires these days that nature can't be allowed to just take its course any way and active fire prevention is required. Alternatively one could just let nature burn things out and then not replant such areas with more human housing that burn.

The state should employ vast left-wings herds of goats to eat ground cover where it need by reduced. Intense forest management; ecosphere management, needs to be routine rather than rare.

Canadians May Expect Saudi Arabia to Accept Homo Marriage

Saudi Arabia has been offended recently by Canadian interference in their internal affairs. Canadians were leaders in legalizing dope and homosexual marriage and hate Saudi Arabia's policies toward women and failure to have homo marriages. Saudi leadership has said it will stop giving medical treatment to Canadians.

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/08/saudi-arabia-halts-medical-treatment-citizens-canada-180808060116922.html

I was accosted on-line recently by a Canadian who took offense to so many things American it would take too long to recount.  So I understand the Saudi problem a little. The Canadian let me know that on the 73rd anniversary of the atomic bombing of two Japanese cities Americans should be thought of as villains. It would have required 150,000 U.S. casualties to take Japan without the bombs, and I guess Harry Truman made the political choice not to end the imperial Japanese military power that way. Canadians were leaders in legalizing dope and homosexual marriage and hate Saudi Arabia's policies toward women and failure to have homo marriages. Saudi leadership has said it will stop giving medical treatment to Canadians. The Canadians are rarely subject to American criticism since they tend to be ignored as extremist flakes with weird accents and Clive Barker novel immigrants from Transvania.

https://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/opinion/putting-spat-saudi-arabia-canada-context-180807091325074.html

Saudi Arabia has its own course of social evolution that may be different than that of Canada. Canadians and other leftist nations under the sway of Britain tend to consider all those that don't want to go the homosexual dopey path as haters and bigots. They tend to throw all their agenda in to one package that they expect to force upon the world. Canada has good aircraft to medivac its sick ones back home from Saudi.

The oil producing rival nations can agree to hate one another a little. War won't happen though I believe Saudi might win if they did conflict in the desert. They have AWACS jets and the Canadians might not and those are useful in air defense.

Social evolution does have a kind of natural history forward, and many aspects of society tend to remain in balance. A surfeit of material wealth becomes diffuse as do social morals- sometimes to the point of break down. Wrong practices in business and even morality continue because of concentrated special interests pursuing their narrow self interests. Outsiders tend to desire to force change and that creates conflict, since it is interference, and also requires economic management from outside synched with the new moral or business model inside. That aggravates people.

Saudi Arabians may not have a great desire to emulate Canadian society. Consider some of the changes required for Saudi Arabia to have homo bars like The Pulse, and to have women semi-nude in the sunshine getting skin cancer. Though Canadians might like that as well as to be able to drink single malt scotch from a paper cup bought at a push cart along with a roast pig sandwich before they go to watch a porn movie for lunch at Godless, Atheist Cinema-that sort of thing takes time even with Canadian encouragement. The Canadian Government may want Saudis to become insipid urbanites working for minimum wage at Kentucky Fried Chicken hit on by homos.

Alpha Zero's Chances Against 100 Top Chess Players at One Move a Day

Gary Kasparov in 1996 playing the top 100 players one move per day. The collective playing an individual. I can’t say that Kasparov would lose. Collective mind isn’t necessarily better than the individual. Voting on the best move involves the opinion of a lot of non-Super GMs. One should throw out the opinion of 80 of the top 100 players since their ratings would be well below the most elite. Today anyone with a rating lower than 2750 shouldn’t get a vote. Presently there are just 17 players eligible to vote in that criterion.

The most brilliant chess games by champions were exceptional because they weren’t usual or anticipated. I think that knocks out about all of the 17 from getting to vote, so Kasparov would win by default because none would meet the standard to play. Probably Alpha Zero rates the same sort of consideration.

Magnus Carlsen deserves honorable mention too although well informed analysts (I am not in that group) say that others are imitating Carlsen’s endgame now and that he is losing his edge as he ages. Would he defeat Alpha Zero with the help of 100 consultants to choose one move a day? Maybe Alpha Zero with that kind of time to think for himself would develop some sort of computer chess neurosis and become lost in infinite loops of self-criticism or involved in images of bare transistors hanging like fruit, and forefeit, being unable to continue after the 50th day when its cpu and gpu fry.

What President Trump Could Do to Obstruct Justice

If President Trump were to stand atop a black SUV parked at the Special Investigator Mueller headquarters and flail his arms about all akimbo imitating Bernie Sanders that would help.

President Trump could order tire locking devices be placed on cars driven by Democrats on the Supreme Court.

Additionally he could order the Post Office to open all mail going to the Mueller H.Q. and complete copy everything to a hidden unsecured email server linked to Siberian interests working for special Beijing parties.

Image credit; White House staff

Obstructing justice would plainly occur if President Trump ordered a black helicopter extraction and exfiltration of former aide to The Donald Paul Manafort from his present dungeon.

President Trump could issue an executive order to modernize the calendar retro and pro-actively and reset the year to the year counting from when Donald Trump was born. Then he could say it is not possible that he did anything to obstruct justice in 2016 since that year won’t exist for something less than 2000 years.

If President Trump knew a priori that there were Russians in Washington D.C. and did not tell the Washington Post he would be over-the-line on obstruction of Justice. At least the public has confidence that Special Investigator Mueller will sort it all out.

Canada Isn't Really Mild, Weak and Reliant on U.S. Defense

Canada has developed a reputation as something of a counter-culture nation. It of course was too long under the sway of British masters. Canadians were tough, no question about that. So when the British wanted to throw them into W.W.II they died by the thousands. When Canad followed the Brits into homosexual marriage that didn’t help their reputation. Neither did legalizing dope or sometimes seemingly yippie leftists.

Does the U.S.A. defend Canada? No, not really. Saudi Arabia is kicking Canada around this week a little. They know Americans and Canadians are having a spat and the U.S.A. won’t go out of its way to defend Canada right now. Saudi on the other hand could perhaps defeat Canada in war if there was war and of course there won’t be since Canada isn’t yet Muslim enough to be receptive to Saudi leadership-though they do sympathize with most leftist things that support Muslims immigration to Canada I believe.

Canada does have a lot of insipid people in some of the urban areas obviously. The U.S.A. has none of those. Americans practice mixed martial arts and chew tobacco in most urban areas while clad in the best Italian suits (no humor is allowed here-sorry).

Usually Canadians say they are Canadians instead of Americans to avoid being harassed abroad. I know though that the method does not always work even if used by Americans such as James Comey former F.B.I. Director who said, I believe, that when he was entering Ireland recently he considered saying he was Canadian instead of American because he was ashamed of the U.S.A. and perhaps also because he thought that foreigners regard Canadians these days (not in the past) as flaky leftist with homosexual marriage.

I actually read a Canadian history book long ago, and that is very rare for an American. Most Americans couldn’t tell you who Wilfred Laurier was, or what the Privy Council was. I know where Frobisher Bay is and of the exploits of Sir Francis Drake’s 2nd on a mission or two. Even so, it is possible that Canadianism will not endure too much longer than the United States, even with Britain to help defend it.

A Summary of Christian History and Future

Christianity has had at least three end-times interpretations from the Bible over its history (hermeneutics). The popular evangelical interpretation has been popular in the U.S.A. since the mid 19th century. It's easy to teach and a powerful tool for conversion and control during difficult times. It is wrong though.

http://www.kennethgentry.com/he-shall-have-dominion-paperback-book/

Old Testament prophecy led up to Jesus who fulfilled scripture. He was also the most accurate prophet in addition to being the Messiah or Maudi. Unfortunately most Christians in some way misunderstand the prophecies of the Lord and misunderstand John's book of Revelation too. 

Jesus lived and was crucified to reconcile humanity unto God through remission of sins for those that have faith in the Lord's atoning gift. After the crucifixion Jesus returned from the dead appearing to his disciples before returning unto the Father.  At Pentecost the Holy Spirit appeared to guide the saved while the kingdom of God was increasing.

The Biblical apocalypse occurred in the first century a.d. just as Jesus said.

Matthew 24 verses 1 & 2 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down."

Foretelling the apocalypse accurately, the Lord foretold what should occur after. He would leave and the Holy Spirit would appear and the kingdom of God would build to become a majority. The building up of the kingdom of God would occur until the age of the gentiles was fulfilled.

The Lord described the apocalypse content in some detail. Later in Matthew 24 he mentions the persecution of Christians, and after that, with mention of the witness to all the nations of the world, is a reference to the great commission. And this period of building up the kingdom of God continues presently, and could go on for a month or thousands of years, until the age of the Gentiles is fulfilled.

"Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come."

Christian pastors are not being helpful to Christians or the nation politically in adding to the panic of a challenging social environment with wrong-headed theology about a Biblical apocalypse ahead. The world will have more conflict of course, and people may destroy much of it or even the viability of the ecosphere of the Earth however that is incidental. The kingdom of God building up in new people over history will continue into the future as God deems it useful. Then when Gentiles can go no farther the Lord will return. Attempting to precipitate a fulfillment of Gentiles probably isn't a good social engineering plan.

Scientists Warn of Hothouse Earth- Drastic Remedies and Tariffs on Cars Justified

Scientists are warning of a tipping point to hothouse Earth. Those that like air conditioning will want to heed the warning and find new ways to place tariffs on foreign automobiles and trucks to keep the killer machines on the other side of the planet. Americans can upgrade their electric car capacity and convert the nation's highways into a vast mid-center, right and left coast solar panel on which electric cover can charge in-line.

Much more should be done such as regreening vast urban areas and increasing the national albedo with solar energy reflecting materials. Whitening up artificially dark land areas to increase solar reflection back to space instead of absorbing it should create a million jobs for youth and technicians. The albedo project could be designed to increase electron energy production too.
