Historical Elements of Russian Super-Presidency

1)The Super-presidency arose after the constitutional crisis between President Yeltsin and the Supreme Soviet in 1993. Yeltsin dismissed the Soviet who refused to leave. The matter was settled by armed conflict. The sole surviving institutional author; the President, made resolutions that formed the basis of a new constitution and set the parameters for the existence of the new legislative body, the Duma.

This excerpt from the encyclopedia Britannica article on governance and society in Russia accounts for the historical development of the Duma and of the appearance of Boris Yeltsin briefly;

quote-“In 1988 the Soviet Congress of People’s Deputies was created, and a Congress of People’s Deputies was established in each republic. For the first time, elections to these bodies presented voters with a choice of candidates, including non-communists, though the Communist Party continued to dominate the system.

Thereafter, the pace of change accelerated. In June 1990 the Congress of the Russian republic proclaimed that Russian laws took precedence over Soviet laws, and the following year Boris Yeltsin became the republic’s first democratically elected president.” ^1-unquote

The Russian Constitution was approved by a national referendum 25 Dec. 1993.²

The President was given extraordinary powers. Articles 80-90 Set out those powers.

“When the legislature fails to pass the president’s legislative initiatives, he may issue decrees that have the force of law”³

Acting in the role of George Washington, Abe Lincoln, V.I. Lenin and James Madison, President Yeltsin had to create a new state government within an existing advanced society, rather than for a frontier society as the author of the U.S. Constitution, James Madison, was able to accomplish with the almost unanimous support from his peers. Yeltsin had to get support from certain parties with real power such as rural governors and oligarchs and that led to some corruption. Yeltsin began a work of reform in process and trusted in Vladimir Putin to continue the legacy of building a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. And the chief guardian of the state is somewhat more so than others for a while.

 2) President Yeltsin appointed Vladimir Putin to the job of Prime Minister in 1999 and that gave him something of a boost in being elected in 2000. President Yeltsin voluntarily quit the Presidency in 1999 and made Mr. Putin acting President. Vladimir Putin got 53% of the vote for President and he made good, more or less, on the idea that if elected the economy would grow. With the help of high oil prices it did. City Soviets were replaced by city councils and mayors while Yeltsin was President.    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_presidential_election,_2000

President Putin inherited super-presidential powers from the 1993 constitution. He used yet did not abuse those powers in the course of his administrative effort to advance the economy, stabilize in against internal and external challenges and continue the road to privatization and prosperity for society. Article 91 of chapter four is a true super-power.

President Putin created seven federal districts in 2004. They covered much of the same area as the formerly more powerful districts. Medvedev created an eighth district and President Putin a ninth in 2014 for the Crimea and Sevastapool. The federal districts were more favored sons and daughters of the central government regarding funding, power and control. The President can appoint the regional governors.

 3) President Medvedev also inherited the super-presidential powers granted by the Soviet constitution. He used them less so than did President Putin. He appointed President Putin to Prime Minister who tended to get the media attention. President Medvedev created the eighth federal district. He allowed political parties with s minimum of five percent of the national vote instead of seven percent  to be elected to the Duma. Parties also needed to have at least 10,000 members and to be represented in at least half of the federal districts. Just four parties qualified for the 2012 election.

These are a few points about the administration given in a Wikipedia article on his term of office as President; President Medvedev worked on modernization of the economy and is credited for creating the Skolkovo innovation center. He privatized many state-owned companies and removed state officials from state owned company boards and got the Presidential term extended from four to six years; he also fired the mayor of Moscow Yuri Luzhkov,⁴

A Wikipedia article on President Medvedev’s administration notes the following acts that qualify as super-presidential powers...

quote-“On 10 March 2009, Medvedev signed the presidential decree to reform the civil service system between 2009-2013 as part of his drive against corruption. The main direction of reforms include establishing a new system to manage the civil service, introducing effective technology and modern methods of human resources operations, and increasing the efficiency and professionalism of civil servants.[8]

Medvedev on 8 May 2009, proposed to the legislature and on 2 June signed into law an amendment whereby the chairperson of the Constitutional Court and his deputies would be proposed to the parliament by the president rather than elected by the judges, as was the case before.[9]

In May 2009, Medvedev set up the Presidential Commission of the Russian Federation to Counter Attempts to Falsify History to the Detriment of Russia's Interests."-unquote

 4) Super-Presidential powers are largely set out in chapter four, articles 80 through 90 of the Russian constitution. The President has power to dismiss the Duma, and to nominate the Supreme and Constitutional Court members ,who serve for life. He can issue decrees to over-ride legislation of the Duma, can declare martial law and a state of emergency. He is commander in chief of the military and conducts foreign policy.

My general view of the Russian government challenges since 1998...

Russia since the 1998 financial crisis and default has only slowly yet steadily moved toward reform such that a market economy prevails. It was not so many years ago that Vladimir Putin ended the oligarch domination of the economy and domination of former Soviet assets that they had taken much of. That order of oligarch power was regarded as an unfair distribution of wealth, yet was left somewhat as it was. The economy moves toward liberalization sometimes with substantial state investment and stimulation..

On the Federal Organs of Power during the Transitional Period

Democrats Seek to Make Ultimate Quagmire With Mid-Term

Democrats seek to create the ultimate bureaucratic quagmire and argumentative deadlock with a spoilt mid-term plan to gain control of the House. They could assure that the nation doesn't get much done, and make lots of headlines for broadcast media pursuing impeachment of the President for using salty language.

https://www.npr.org/2018/08/17/639030198/trump-predicts-red-wave-but-special-elections-show-democrats-poised-for-big-gain

The one thing the Democrats never do is to seek to make America great again, or to increase taxes on the most rich to 90% except maybe if they have a Republican in office that wouldn't sign off on such a measure. What Democrats can do is to weaken national security so far as possible and to encourage the President to increase the size of government. sign off on more homosexual advantages and legalize dope for everyone.

Taxing the rich to restore the ecosphere, fund free college education and expand the V.A. to include free treatment for all poor citizens (and tied into the homeless clinics of the nation) would not be a bad policy. They could assure that patents are limited to 3 years with 10% royalties for inventors thereafter. They also could give tax cuts for higher those out of work the longest; first. Instead the left in the Democrat Party want to splice more socialism on government and expand it while flooding the nation with cheap illegal labor to work at Democrat homes while the Democrats themselves have high-paying government jobs. The Pelosi vineyards need legions of illegal workers to increase the profits of the Roman empire-like estate.

Democrats are clueless on the need to reform capitalism that functions with a 250 year old philosophical-economic meta-structure. They want to shut down government to force concessions to increase its size and flood the nation with anyone that might vote to keep their key leaders in office to prosper from the contacts and favors.

Former Admiral McRaven Raves at President on Security Clearance Issue

A former Admiral that was in the chain of command glory for the Bin Laden raid has teamed up with former C.I.A. Director Brennan against POTUS. Apparently the former Admiral has deep loyalty to his former ad hoc boss on intelligence, so much so that he has asked President Trump to revoke his security clearance too. Maybe President Obama should have chosen the Delta Force rather than the seals to lead the raid; they might have brought the treasure trove of information back alive.

The former C.I.A. Director is a live critic of President Trump while President Trump is being attacked by the sore-losercrats and the left-wing media. President Trump has every reason ethically to keep a public adverse high security clearance critic out when he has demonstrated that he might provide classified data to those seeking to cut the Chief Executive off at the knees.

Admiral McRaven may be a dangerous individual with a zillion military connections, yet luckily he isn’t at all high in the civilian chain of command. Allowing Admirals to get involved with land concerns is not a very good idea.

With so many retired military and spooks as well as civil servants retaining security clearances it is no wonder the U.S. Government security is a leaky bucket. How many of those retired military and government people working for Defense contractors still have security clearances? That situation could create some non-competitive insider bidding.

On the Federal Organs of Power during the Transitional Period

Polozhenie ‘O federal’nykh organakh vlasti na perekhodnyi period’ (Resolution “On the Federal Organs of Power during the Transitional Period”),” in Iz istorii sozdania konstitutsii Rossiiskoi Federatsii, vol. 4/3, 461-466.

My general view of the Russian government challenges since 1998...

Russia since the 1998 financial crisis and default has only slowly yet somewhat steadily moved toward reform such that a market economy prevails. It was not so many years ago that Vladimir Putin ended the oligarch domination of the economy and domination of former Soviet assets that they had taken much of. That order of oligarch power was regarded as an unfair distribution of wealth, yet was left somewhat as it was. The economy moved toward liberalization sometimes with substantial state investment and stimulation.

The process was advanced by the rise in world oil prices in the 2000s that continued until the crash following fracking of old oil fields to renew supply. A surfeit of world oil production made oil dependent states lose much revenue. Alaska in the United States faced a government budget crisis and Russia too lost nearly half of its GDP.

If bad actors are targeted, the principle of mass punishment should not target the innocent too. The U.S. should encourage Russia to continue developing a market economy along sound ecological economic principles rather than provide mass punishment for making Crimea a ninth federal district.

Even so Russia continued a slower advance toward a market economy though the state held some major banks and oil companies. It began an income tax of a modest scale though it had difficulty collecting that. Russia faced many internal and external challenges before the regime of foreign sanctions began to appear for international contention to permanently wrest away the Ukraine and Crimea from Russia.

The second largest party in Russia is still the communist party. The United Russia party- by far the largest, is basically a coalition of four formerly separate parties that joined to beat the communists. The economic and social dynamics of economic reform is occurring concurrent with reform of government, and eventually constitutional structures, and stimulation of business and new infrastructure development. All of that is challenging and expensive. While the United States and Europe tend to place themselves into a belligerent and adversarial as possible position comprising something of a threat to Russian security.

My concern is that the sanctions and hostile external relationship with Russia will retard the growth of Russia as a market economy and in the long run solidify less than free enterprise elements in Russia.

Apparently Russians have a trust in state run media and state ownership of business because of historical reasons that lie in the fact that authoritarian or Tsarist government were the fact of Russia for 1000 years. Only since the end of the Cold War has Russia had a pluralist government, although a multi-party Duma/congress existed briefly, shortly before the Bolshevik takeover to end that and the tsar.

Ronald Reagan had a policy of constructive engagement with South Africa and that led to the DeClerk government and end of apartheid. Reagan also ended the Cold War along with President Gorbachev in part because of hi affable character engendering trust. The United States should think deeply about its reckless and fay sanctions on Russia, since they may harm U.S. interests more so than Russian, in the long run.

Chris Hedges Isn't Correct About Socialist Predictions of National Collapse

Chris Hedges’ writing is that of a disgruntled socialist who is seeing the nation through the rouge colored glasses of Karl Marx. He believes capitalism has sewn the seeds of its own destruction, and he is waiting with baited breath so the new world socialist order can emerge Phoenix-like from the ashes. There isn’t anything original about any of that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Hedges

Fundamentally he misunderstands economics and history as well as eschatology, and is affiliated with the PC USA that is an apostate church approving the sin of homosexuality and homosexual marriage as accepted church doctrine. No serious Christian would do that.

He probably means well, yet he hasn’t a clue about how to reform things. He calls himself a Christian anarchist and might get along with Pearl Jam and even apocalypticists with incorrect pre-millennial eschatology (post-millennialism is true).

Chris Hedges apparently doesn’t know what corporatism is or how it unifies with socialism and communism. He senses something is wrong with the left and he is correct in the feeling yet wrong about the diagnosis. Democrat Party leaders and socialists are just playthings of the 1%. The National Socialist Workers Party of Germany (NAZIs) were an early model of corporatism- a political philosophy invented by the Italian fascist Mussolini).

The world may have an ecospheric apocalypse yet that isn’t the Christian one that actually occurred in the 1st century as Jesus foretold it would. Survivors will go on in space and on Earth in some numbers. It is possible to reform capitalism and just scale back the size and concentration of wealth and power; F.D.R. invented the weapon of mass destruction for monopolistic capitalism and it is called the 90% tax rate. Patent duration should be reduced to three years with 10% royalties for inventors thereafter. There should be free public higher education and a guaranteed minimum income so that all have some capital to work with and are never broke. Businesses should be screened for low impact on the environment and businesses should be limited to 20,000 employees. The ecosphere should be regreened and replanted, fossil fuel vehicles and roads mostly banned and replaced by electric power lines and electric platforms. Everything should be reformed and renewed. The economic and government paradigm is two centuries old minimally. Socialism is a complete waste of time though and just wants to keep things as they are yet completely bureaucratized and redistributed with maximum social entropy.

It’s fine to reform capitalism and even the U.S.constitution to limit the size and power of organizations. Corporations didn’t exist when the constitution was written by James Madison.

If the United States financially collapses one day it probably will be suffered most by the remaining middle class and poor that have invested everything they have in this nation. The concentrated wealth owners of Wall Street will have already diversified their portfolios internationally, so it is in the interests of the people of the United States to begin a measured and steady program of reform to make things better than they are.

Take Back Security Clearances of all Former Government Employees

Former C.I.A. chiefs should routinely have their security clearances revoked. They tend to be sloppy with classified data and sometimes leakers or political plotters. The only C.I.A. Chief that needs top secret clearance is the one presently on the job.

Generally it seems very shoddy practice to allow anyone not working presently for the government to have a security clearance. Spook security doesn’t have the resources to keep an eye on all of them. They may even be clandestine agents of the Clinton Foundation.

Celebrity Bowling Balls and Pins for Renaissance of The Sport?

Bowling has been in a slump for more than two decades. It might experience a renaissance if customized and programmable l.c.d. bowling balls could be produced that allowed balls to have the images of celebrity heads and bowling pins numerous features programmable for rainbow colors and political ideologies such as red or blue pins, communist hammer and cycle pins etc.

American bowling is in serious need for an upgrade. It could use some of the features of video gaming to create a more 3D experience of some elements of that finger-mouse sport with a little more weight and reality.

Leftist Collusion; 300 Newsrags Attack President on Same Day

More than 300 U.S. newspapers have attacked the President on the same day with editorials criticizing President Trump's criticism of the vast left-wing media that is actually owned by the most rich globalists. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-45204397

After having accomplished the removal of the unsightly Alex Jones webpages from social media as well as his Austin radio station, the media resumed their hegemony over U.S. political thought. Outspoken supporters of the President may find it difficult to keep their heads above water in social media when the vast left-wing collusion sycophancy working for corporatist domination finds it so easy to purge their enemies.

Pennsylvania Pederasty Is a Problem of Pre and Amillenialism Without a Priesthood of Believers

Recent Pennsylvania revelations of pederasty among Catholic Clergy in Pennsylvania underscores the problems of commercial priesthoods exploiting a laity. Too often they wish to dominate as authorities over a laity, and that makes a poor motivation to reform theology now and then.

Martin Luther believed that all Christians are priests, and that's a Bible based opinion. In the modern era of universal literacy it would be easy to have ecclesiastical reform such that three ranks of beginner, intermediate and expert existed in churches applicable to all members; true theological councils could devise liturgical formats and content for the priesthood of believers to apply in churches- possibly in small groups, absent of a separate and unequal commercial priest.

Boston led the way in pederasty and general child abuse in the Catholic Church in 2002, then the problem was revealed at Penn State University and presently in the grand jury report that states a thousand kids and 300 priests victimizing them over seventy years was a sad part of the Catholic experience in Pennsylvania. The Pennsylvania perversion is not a result of homosexual or male dominance of the Catholic Church. The problem is the lack of a transparent, confessing and egalitarian priesthood of believers.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Archdiocese_of_Boston_sex_abuse_scandal

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/pope-francis-silent-about-1000-children-abused-by-priests-in-pennsylvania/ar-BBLYu2o?ocid=chromentp

So many theologically wrong doctrines saying that end times apocalypse fitting the Bible are either ahead or symbolically present disregard the true facts of the post-millennial interpretation of scripture. They rationalize that the end times are coming and nothing worldly matters so waste the ecosphere and God will provide a better heavenly one or they believe they hold the keys of St. Peter exclusively and if the enjoy a little gnostic sophistication that's all the better.

Omarosa Faction Claim Use of N-Word Sometime by Donald Trump Possible

The Omarosa Faction has claimed that the Trump administration has personnel that may have actually discussed use of the N-word. That claim is hardly credible since so few Americans have ever actually used the word, and only a few White house staff were recorded talking along those lines- possibly. It is o.k. for YouTube to have five minutes of the N-word though ban Alex Jones because he might know someone that actually used the word. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqRswhHewpg

White people may not use the N-word, yet black people are down with that. One must be confident that no discrimination exists in the United States. The nation is all about equal protection of the law. Finally the hate monger Mark Twain may be banned from U.S. schools.

US Gov Five Year Contract Plans

Some U.S. Government contracts that presently are set out at one year will go to five year spans in starting in 2019. That may benefit big players more so than small businesses that don't always have five years of security ahead. An example; if the economy changes much a big business might be able to withstand inflation or deflationary changes better than a small business. Four years to go on a contract with a small profit margin in a volatile cost-supply production market is tough

While one can imagine Donald Trump signing the Declaration of Independence more so than Hillary or several other Democrats that would have instead probably have sought a cozy position with royal governors, the changeover from one year to five on government contract duration for numerous services seems like a benefit for the concentration of wealth and globalism instead of nationalism and small business.

One must wonder about military contracts and if they too would be held as tightly on a fiver year plan if they find cost over-runs; wouldn't the government just give the Haliburtons of the business world some kind of cost-plus extension? Would five year contracts involving foreign entities as prime or subcontractors be in more antipathetic relations potentially as foreign relations might change faster than contractual relationships. For example; what if China recognizes Taiwan's independence as if then given more five year contracts, and thereafter reverses course and again declares Taiwan a rogue province?

White People, Africans and Asians Briefly

Here is one version based on d.n.a. and archaeological analysis. Apparently white people became white about 8500 b.c. throughout Europe. Before that the whites in the far north evolved white skin  and were the parents of those farther south. The Arctic shores saw the arrival of humans about 25,000 b.c. Fifteen thousand years was enough time to move from Africa and reach the Arctic. Homo sapiens migrated out of Africa to Europe about 40,000 b.c. and some of those that had gone far north first became white and interbred with more southern Europeans that lost their dark skin under the clouds and with the new genes. Those from Africa that went to Asia made the trek about 100,000 b.c. so they evolved different traits than Europeans or Africans. Finally there was some interbreeding of Asians and Europeans wrenching the works again creating confusing questions for people in the 21st century.

How Europeans evolved white skin

Teeth from China reveal early human trek out of Africa

Asians and others arrived in America via Berengia. Lots of interbreeding. etc. Some Inuit have oriental looking eyes. Amazing.

Why Players Skip Chess Lessons

A slow wireless connection has probably discouraged a lot of casual players. One can watch chess videos, study Super GM games and then play a blitz game with a winning position before the connection breaks and one forfeits the game being timed out.

Chess takes a lot of time to learn, and the opportunity cost for playing that game too much is quite high-especially if one becomes and adict and quits their job to play chess. One could be studying how to become a physician assistant or grow corn, the problems of reform in Russia and how that is affected by sanctions in slow economic privatization or if humanity really should give up on trying to save the environment because its too late and learn to love living like ants in eco-disaster survivable hives.

Chess is great fun yet very demanding on time for non-pro players that need to work for a living. Also, some chess players may not want to antagonize their emotional support rat or alligator taking time to study the violent conflicts of chess.

Fortunately players with such issues may moderate their chess learning and schedule a modest hour or two a week for learning chess openings and slow improve their game instead of full-time indulgence of their chess addiction and end up in the gutter although playing with a sharp 1850 rating.

A Theory of Minarchist Evolution

There aren’t many hooded minarchists demonstrating these days. The United States was founded in an environment that didn’t require much government supervision; there was a sparsely populated land and people helped themselves. It was so minarchist naturally that Southerners could continue the tradition of slavery the British founded in North America. Federalism ended that trouble for those enslaved later at some cost.

I am taking a course in post-Soviet Russian governance and that has given me the occasion to compare and contrast the foundation of the United States and its evolution of government with that of Russia in 1990. So far the main difference is just that the Russians had to form a new democratic government with an existing yet obsolete industrial economic infrastructure and more than a 100 million citizens that required some government social coordination to survive as most modern nations with large populations do, while the United States alternatively, in 1776, had a population estimated at about 2.5 million. The founders were able to compose a philosophically inspired Declaration and Constitution of ideal sorts without any immediate hard technical requirements for external reasons that required the creation of large social institutions and government bureaucracies immediately (so far as I know). Creating a military was a natural response for the founders to external challenges posed by the British army. Even so the founders were wary of a large standing army and preferred an armed militia for long range defense.

Russia passed through a minarchist moment perhaps during the 1993 coup attempt and conflict between Yeltsin’s forces and the supreme Soviet communist remnants in the White House (seat of Russian congressional-style government) when the former Soviet government was decisively, conclusively broken and buried (although 20% of elected officials in the Duma remain communist party members). Yeltsin tried to privatize allowing oligarchs to take much of the former state properties of value, yet nationally the economy collapsed in 1998. Yeltsin eventually appointed Vlad Putin to lead the government and he was elected for-himself as President later. Yeltsin had enabled the President to have super-powers to in effect redesign the structure of government quite a bit as well as to conduct foreign policy. For Russia was redesigning itself and that process continues today-many Americans don’t understand that.

I tend to regard organizations as more or less equal. Any large organization can govern itself and sometimes they govern others outside the organization. It seems to me that organizations diminish individual power. It also seems that governments should reduce to a minimal size for operating efficiency, just as an automobile engine doesn’t need to put on a lot of extra parts and weight to work optimally.

Organizations should be limited in size in order to be more governable by the government that needs to be large enough to govern the largest organizations and all of them as well as individuals. The larger the non-governmental organization is the greater are the challenges that it can present to the organization that officially is the government.

The problem of concentrated wealth today in the United States is a problem of large organizations partly owned by individuals invested in many of them. When too much capital is concentrated in the few the many have little chance of advancing social policy or private enterprises without first submitting to the will of the non-governmental organizational powers that hold most capital.

Achieving a minarchist state that is efficient in the United States would require a reform of capitalism in order to break up the concentration of wealth and size of private corporations. Government might then be reduced in size too, and networks of social services coordinated by the government might be innovated to enable private sources to supply private needs of citizens better than usually occurs in many societies where the natural revenues of the land have been historically expropriated by human overuse and people are left to fend for themselves within a totalized urban environment as derelicts and cast-off waste elements of capitalism.

To innovate government and capital theory upgrades Congress would need to pass some laws that prompt the changes. For instance, patent exclusivity could be reduced to three years and inventors would receive 10% royalties after that from anyone with the capital that produces the product and sells it. Government would not own business,yet governments would pass laws that screened businesses start-ups and prioritize those for advancement that are ecospherically most efficient and synergetic.

No corporations could have more than 20,000 employees. The upper tax rate would be 90%. The government revenues would enable better screening and discretion of start ups, ecosphere recovery and continuing free education.

Numerous other changes would need to be made that would allow an ecospheric economic management synergy with ecospheric recovery and sustainable though gradual economic qualitative progress that guards the well-being of all citizens simultaneously. Government size reduction can be compensated for with increased government networked intelligence as a discrete rather than monolithic governing structure.

In a totalized social-territorial national paradigm all citizens need work or basic necessities from some source. Private enterprise can provide those needs or government may, yet a government-private sector cooperative structure that assures that all citizens are assured of meeting basic needs and lifelong education would be possible and a good way to coordinate with ecosphere repair and maintenance. The failures to screen businesses for ecospheric synergy or neutrality and to keep citizens from being broke at the bottom with national job insecurity are problems implicit within the economic and government structures that could be corrected reforming government and corporate structure.

The United States accomplished over two centuries solutions to challenges Russia has been presented with since 1990 for governance and government mass private organizational business relationships. The Russian creation of new developments is more challenging than the fast-track evolution required of Russia, yet the structure of the United States is paradigmatically obsolete in several respects. It is as if old structures of business never were replaced or upgraded; merely expanded. Government-capital relationships has mostly just grown larger with new institutions added over the centuries instead of being philosophically evaluated for relevance to the very different social and environmental challenges of the present day than those of 1776.

Canada Continues Drift Toward Leftist-Corporatist Globalism.

The U.S. Government is nothing like extreme right wing. Corporatism and the left are so firmly entrenched bureaucratically moving toward globalist union, and the broadcast media so corporatist-leftist, that it will be difficult to shake. President Trump is a moderate, yet compared to the extreme left that is the incipient and latent leadership of the present Democrat Party the partisan rhetoric paints him as far right.

Canada is sold out to globalism and all things British and isn’t likely to change. No way it could become far right or conservative-libertarian. Canada I believe will continue its moral disintegration into globalism under one world government so far as it can, merging into intensified telecom treason offshore so far as it can willingly comply with plutonomy’s objectives.

American Broadcast Media is About 25% BS

The American  broadcast media is about 25% truthful, 50% emitting content loosely grounded in some true element and 25% complete B.S. The American broadcast media is mostly a for-profit entertainment business unfortunately over-influencing national governance, democracy and foreign policy adversely. It is also mostly a tool owned by the most rich globalists to control the masses with propaganda and agit-prop. One might wish it was plain honest and discretionary, but it ain't.

The U.N. fellow that accused President Trump of about inciting violence with criticism of the broadcast media is absolutely full of shit himself or herself. The President is speaking the truth while the U.N. official isn't. The problem is after all a national rather than an international problem. Foreign countries have their own media issues. In Russia most of the media is state-run and 75% of the people trust it and President Putin might extol it for its quality. I suppose the U.N. human rights chief would like such tranquility in the U.S.A. or even better, to let the nation be run by globalists.

Free speech (first amendment protections)) are applicable toward criticizing the commercial media too. Organizational use-truths and their incessant re-enforcement through mass communications power and sycophancy elicit partisan support. The mass media have numerous ways of disseminating propaganda. Many of the largest are tools for the 1% these days.

Turkey Economic Collapse Could Create Opportunity for Germans to Supervise

Germany and Turkey are friends. If Turkey collapses economically it will provide an opportunity for Germany to send economic managers to order the mismanaged economy. Militarily Turkey is solid enough except they give a cold shoulder to Kurds that could be good citizens in their own federal state. Yet Turkish leaderships hates Kurdish independence of any sort and likes to persecute them as if they were still the Ottoman Empire.

The United States should be on good terms with Russia and then it would be simpler to finesse Turkish willingness to reason about Kurds and tolerance of Christians. Yet fully stocked refrigerators of economics aren't likely to start for Turkey again until they lighten up a bit and except the fact that they are radical and unstable and need German help.

Status of Emotional Support Animals; Pit Bulls and Alligators

When a 14 year old with allergies was kicked off a aircraft in Alaska because of the presence of a cat as an emotional support animal she could not live with, the problem of what animals ought to be allowed aboard a plane for emotional support arrived glaringly. Should alligators and pythons be accepted as emotional support animals for Democrats? And what about pit bulls for Republicans, or maybe small tigers?

Frequent fliers with need for emotional support animals ought to have their own section of the plane with special air filters so as not to disturb passengers with emotional issues regarding animals on the negative side, in addition of course, to allergies.
