Go Fund Me Campaign to Fund Syrian Troop Contractors?

 Since President Trump chose to slowly withdraw 2000 U.S. troops from Syria there has been some disgruntlement, politically speaking, about the decision. Yet someone could step into the void militarily- even the Kurds with enough U.S. equipment and air support. Turkey is a bad option because it isn't a good idea to encourage even partial return of empire; the Ottoman was one of the more brutal empires to exist especially in Serbia and Iran. They buried people upside down with legs sticking out above ground to make a special garden in at least one spot in Iran.

So what can be done besides creating an international Go Fund Me campaign to hire 2000 mercenaries to help out the Kurds in peacekeeping. Many national governments including France could contribute to pay the trivial cost of several million or maybe a billion a year for the privilege of firing weapons at persons of interest x, y and z. and everyone could be happy.

The U.N. could help with the effort.  

On the Church Before Reformation

The Church is supposed to be a priesthood of believers according to Luther. Hence those of faith in the Lord are saved in a self-standing way apart from ecclesiastical organization that is of-the-world. Augustine for example wrote of the City of Man and the City of God. And a Christian may be thought of as in the world though not of it. The kingdom of God is within yet isn't temporal and of the world though the Christian is. 

There were many true Christians affiliated with the Catholic Church as well as the Celtic Church that continued until the reformation. Luther for example was saved before he and Melanchton began their works of correcting the elements of the Church that had gone off course. Luther envisioned one true Church of believers though it is transcendent. Christian legalism and rituals can be not enough concerned with living faith in the same way that Jesus was critical of the Jewish establishment that was formal and not of the heart. I think some people forget the difficulties of generally pre-literate society and the church in continuing true doctrine.

Shouldn't the Fed Increase the Prime Rate?

 When the Fed issue loans for very low interest rates to  banks, the banks can loan 5x as much if they want in effect minting their own new dollars. They should at least have to pay a little back to the Fed for the service. The rich just concentrate wealth with all that nearly free money. President Trump should not even think about firing the Fed Chief who probably should make the prime lending rate 25%.

Democrats Aren't Reasonable in Partial Government Shutdown

The Federal Budget is nearly four trillion dollars annually. Voters that elected President Trump would like at least five billion spent on border security. Senator Schumer is such a Trotskiite that he sounds like a George Wallace of the left who said,:"Segregation now, segregation tomorrow, segregation forever!"
Senator Schumer- "It will never pass the Senate, not today, not next week, not next year. So President Trump, if you want to open the government, you must abandon the wall, plain and simple".

The wall is not a racist thing. The world and the nation have too many people already. The left supports zero population growth generally with abortion and Planned Parenthood. In my lifetime the national population has doubled while the majority of Americans have fewer than 2 children per family. With 320 million Americans the nation cannot well endure another doubling of the population especially through mass illegal immigration and large families from the same for political purposes.


I have seen the Interstate system built, the sprawlmarts grow along them and the rise of megacities, luxury fossil fuel cars and a vast corporatist culture of non-sustainable economics concentrate wealth. The wild things and spaces are dying. Such mass growth makes for national insecurity equal to the flimsiness of the World Trade Center at 9-11. If the U.S. population doubles the first mass biological war will kill billions and billions worldwide with no firewalls to prevent it.

It is far too easy for terrorists and others seeking entry to the U.S.A. to get over the border with few natural obstructions. A wall won't help the illegal traffic.

If all of those Mexicans and Central Americans that want to enter the U.S.A. illegally were Germans or even Swedes of equal numbers I would support building the wall. Wildlife is nice, a healthy ecosphere is vital and sustainable green wild requires fewer people using it already- much less hundreds of millions more.

Senator Schumer ridicules democracy in attacking the tens of millions that want the President to build a wall as dogs the wall would throw a bone to; Senator Schumer said it is a "bone to the hard right".

Democracy works with tolerance for points of view and wishes for others as well as oneself. Senator Schumer seems to believe like Adolph Hitler that it must be my way or the highway. Closing down the government for nothing more than political purposes is why the U.S. democracy is endangered. The Pelosi-Schumpocrats are pure fascists that want absolute power without sharing, compromise etc. 

The cost to the nation of spitting on the will of tens of millions of Americans- perhaps even a simple majority that want the wall funded for a number of reasons, could be high. People lack trust or respect for politicians that just can't comprehend the government is supposed to work as well at least as a moderately well-run business. Senator Schumer is an extremist, as is (next session) Speaker Pelosi, who cannot share, who cannot compromise with an opposition party, and desires absolute power like the Supreme Soviet of the former Soviet Union.

Raiders Could Move to San Antonio or Berlin

The Oakland Raiders have itchy feet and like to move occasionally. Besides moving to Las Vegas they could just move to San Antonio or Berlin for a year or three. Talk of moving to S.F. is wrong. That would tarnish their reputation for a dozen years.

War With Russia May Be in the Portents (or not)

Reading an article in RT by a natural Irish former scientist turned journalist now living in Africa I learned that the United States may go to war with Russia in the Ukraine. Apparently President Trump, or Trump as he is known to journalists, has cleared the way for war after ditching the Syrian 'distraction' in a childish and petulant mood talking with the Turkish P.M. Sim Salabin Kenyonsky.

https://www.rt.com/op-ed/447146-us-ukraine-confrontation-russia/

All of the Congress opposed the President's withdrawal of troops from Syria. They wanted to leave them in Syria until Armageddon or as long as the rivers could fill with blood. Signs and portents of entrails carefully examined at a journalist clave confirmed the prospect for war. Recent ESA photos of Mars have shown after scientific journalist analysis, cold war in the cauldron that could symbolize eruption..

The United States financed a coup in Ukraine in 2014 and has had clandestine trainers there trying to get the inept neo-fascist soldiery of the Fascist regime in Ukraine to good fighting condition.

If the United States goes to war with Russia over Ukraine it would be wrong not to have a triple spearhead from the North and Middle Europe as well as the Southern Ukrainian underbelly. Marines should land in Siberia and work west in a pincers movement on Moscow with the east driving soldiers in Germany.

Probably nukified cruse missile waves should saturate Russia yet no ballistic missiles should be launched with nukes in order to play fair. Russia has nice shore based anti-ship stuff yet the navy should use its fast attack boat to penetrated Russia rivers for intell purposes.

The war could occur during the Christmas holidays government shutdown before Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer can take podiums to express their hatred of Russia and the pretense that Russia ever owned it before the most recent crass expropriation of peace-loving Ukraine.

With the help of scientist journalists that have spent a lifetime studying history and philosophy chemistry and botany it is easy to learn the facts about how things are now.

Personally I believe in building a wall in Ukraine modeled upon the great wall of China. Yet with a perfectly good Dnepr River for a natural boundary that's where I would draw the Russia-Ukraine border line. Of course the Democrat party may believe the Yenisei riiver is the appropriate location for a Ukrainian boundary on the eastern front.

Warm Air Rises? Arctic Air Heating 2X Faster Than Rest of World

A new study appeared examining Arctic air and thermal temperature changes. The Arctic Report Card found that air temperatures there are rising higher faster than the rest of the world's warmer areas. It could be that warm air rises and moves north to gather near the pole. That idea can't be blamed on the scientists who did the study, it was what occurred to me. That and the fact that the pole is at the center of the world's spin rather than at the outside, so warm air would tend to remain there better.

https://cleantechnica.com/2018/12/19/noaas-2017-2018-arctic-report-card-arctic-air-temperatures-warming-at-2x-global-rate/

In my opinion the situation will remain that way just until the Arctic nears a saturation point for melting. Then it will have excess warmth to spill back south to rapidly increase world temperature outside the Arctic.

Withdrawing U.S. Military from Syria May Save Money

The problem with Syria is that it isn’t Kansas anymore. Why should the United States keep military personnel in Syria when it isn’t even an unincorporated U.S. territory like Navassa Island?

The United States has Kurdish allies who can keep an eye on things in the area-and there are drones and other surveillance aircraft. The U.S.A. should strengthen Kurds in the region and help defend them against Turkish terrorist threats to invade Syria and hunt them to death. After the U.S. withdraws Turkey may feel free to invade, slaughter, plunder and spindle loose forces.

Kurds are something like the Jews were before Israel was put together- they would benefit from a homeland or at least confederation of Kurdish autonomous states in a piece of Syria, Iraq and Turkey. All those Sunni Muslims ought to be able to accept that and stop targeting Kurds.

Michael Flynn Seemed to Have Been Acting As National Security Adviser a Bit Early

When the F.B.I. directed by James Comey decided to ambush N.S.A. Michael Flynn in a White House interview just days after the Trump administration took office, former JSOC Intelligence Director Flynn choose to field questions from the F.B.I. He felt he had nothing to hide and was confident in his role as the National Security Adviser. He may have had no awareness of the Logan Act that made his intercessions for the benefit of the nation, rather than for personal reasons of profit, as a private citizen just before officially going on the job, legally wrong.

Comey apparent sent over partisan agents early while the Trump team of non-lawyers was somewhat disoriented because of the newness of the jobs. Flynn wasn't a lawyer and would have been fine if he had not taken the N.S.A. job. Apparently most people don't register as foreign agents if lobbying for foreign countries. Maybe some of them that work on other matters too don't actually know they are supposed to. One must be very careful if a Turkish government official asks a private citizen to write to their Senator to help get Turkish apricots an exemption from Trump tariffs.

As an effective intelligence Director Flynn had good enough reason to dissimulate and conceal proprietary information from the F.B.I. The F.B.I. is hardly read in to the highest classified information the National Security Director may have regarding means and sources. Not even broadcast journalist would reveal their sources in all cases to the F.B.I.; how much more would a C.I.A. Director conceal information or even lie to an F.B.I. rife with Democrat party partisans in order to conserve national security. Flynn was perhaps too new on the job to realize his information was probably covered by executive privilege. Flynn's conversations with Ambassador Kislyak may ave been deemed need-to-know only.

A Clinton appointee to the Federal Bench- Judge Emmett Sullivan has in two consecutive days lambasted Michael Flynn as a suspect of treason and overturned the Attorney General Sessions era order that not all victims of crime are eligible for asylum in the United States. Democrats this week have said they would let the government shut down before funding a National Security wall even in part along the Mexican border. Democrats are not the party for national security.

The Democrat party seemed to e trying very hard to get a legal wedge in on the new Trump administration. Most of the principles are partisan Democrats. Former F.B.I. Deputy Director Andrew McCabe's wife Jill got 675,000 dollars from Bill Clinton's money man Terry McAullife for her political campaign.  gave large donations to the Clinton campaign. Strozk- one of the agents that interviewed Flynn in the White House, wrote to Page that Trump must be stopped through official government offices. Other critical emails, like those of Hillary Clinton, were inexplicably erased. The Flynn-Trump attack has Clintonista written all over it. McAullife may be a presidential candidate in 2020.

Veto McConnellcrat Short Term Spending Bill Unless $2 billion for Wall is Included

If congress wants to close down government for $2 billion when the shut down may cost a substantial portion of that each day, go for it. President Trump should get at least $2 billion for building a wall now and more later. Tens of millions of people want the wall built. McConnell shouldn't grinch them for Christmas.

President Trump Isn't Causing Recession

The President is no progenitor of recession. Economists are well known to have different opinions about mass economic policies and effects. Accurate predictions of future recessions are not made with scientific rigor so well that the methods are verifiable and indisputably accurate. Emotion is part of the equation and it can be difficult to quantify. Sometimes they are political opinions expressed as a way to oppose a Presidential incumbent’s economic policy. and neglect national development.

Without correction the Chinese trade relationship would harm U.S. national interests. Like ancient imperial Rome that became too globalized and reached the Toynbean condition of a Universal phase (so far as it could without owning everything such as Parthia or China, the U.S. hyper-active global traders and investors tend to neglect continuing development of national interests and like ancient Rome the historical tendency is to fall.

Unlike the former great British empire the U.S.A. has a great land mass so it need not over-rely on foreign trade. Facing the EU Britain seems to have a choice between dissolution as a small part of the EU or to remain somewhat self-standing nationally and to seek more national self-reliance with new tech in addition to foreign trade.

Rectification of economics in the present era would seem to require a transformation to and renewal of infrastructure and regulating governance to one of national ecological economic sustainability of material quantitatively as well as the national standard of living. Adam Smith’ approach to capitalism expressed in the Wealth of Nations reflected economics and social needs of the day where over-population and ecological decay were not pressing concerns. As a small nation in land area England needed unregulated foreign trade to allow its vigorous traders to function in business transactions globally across an expanding empire. While individual direction and initiative are important still, the United States and even China have not got the same trade globally in proportion to a small land mass relation as did Smith’s England of the 18th century.

The President could stimulate a recession upon indolent, obstinate and recalcitrant people by causing their reactions to transpire that would slow down the national economy perhaps, yet there is plenty to work with such that business activity need not cease.

Unlike the 70’s recession that was caused in part by the lack of iron and other materials for automobile production in the mid-west as well as expanding global competition and production of fossil fuel automobiles (and numerous other reasons involving foreign and domestic affairs as well as tech and capital changes, and reallocation of resources), the present U.S. economy has impending recession only insofar as mass terrorism and ecospheric disasters to existing infrastructure are increasingly expensive to repair and as after 9–11 lead the fear factor to shrink the economy. The reliance on foreign trade is historically at least, amusing. It seems that China too wants to expropriate African and other natural resources for redistribution to itself for a variety of reasons, and of course the United States has done so too (as well as Europe). China has a huge population that is challenged to improve a standard of living and civil liberties with reliance on domestic resources so far as possible in order to conserve the planetary ecosphere. The United States has the same challenge with a smaller population it seeks to increase through legal and illegal immigration in order to de facto arrive at least at half of the Chinese challenge of sustaining a standard of living that is good for half a billion people. The fewer the people to a certain extent, the easier it is as less material resources are required.


In the modern world to recede might not have the same economic meaning and value as when it was first used. Then there is the fact that overseas expansion concentrates wealth in the United States for the 1%. Ordinary average wages don’t match Wall Street’s rise in value for example. The minimum wage of Americans in 1974 was $2.00 while today it is $7.75. That is just a +300% increase. Since 1970 the Wall Street index has increased far more. In 1970 it was at 832 while today it is more than 23,000.

Yes President Trump could find some way to move the economy toward recession yet I.M.O. the problem if any is in the people without ideas for national development rather than in those seeking national development and ecological economic sustainability.
The national public debt is not President Trump’s, it is that of both parties and an incompetent House and Senate that cannot ever balance the budget or provide services to the people affordably. People generally believe those elected are or become corrupt materialists and corporatists seeming primarily to benefit themselves and Wall Street instead of the people of the United States.

Huawei, Iran, Trade War Etc.

Did a Huawei arrest help win the trade war? I.M.O. it wasn’t intended to. Arrest of Huawei perps is self-standing for legal reasons, or obviously they should be released. For that matter, the trade war is important only insofar as soy sales need to resume and Chinese solar power panels should be allowed to flood the U.S.A. without tariffs in order to simulate competition.
Violating U.S. sanctions on Iran is a serious matter. Though we would like to be on good terms with Iran’s fundamentalist Shi’ite government (well at least I would though its hard to say what godless atheist Democrats really think about it. In a way Pres. Obama seemed to want to pursue a constructive engagement policy with Iran, give them a decade to develop quality missiles and twenty years to just research building nuclear bombs before putting them on quality missiles), the U.S. for bureaucratic ineptitude development of fine foreign policy because of inertial drifts into inflexibility and maladaptive recognition and correction of dysfunctional policy reasons, objectively has made a tradition of bungling Iranian-US relations. Even so, buying and forwarding banned U.S. manufactures to Iran is a violation of law.

Huwei’s 5G technology may be of service to Chinese Red Army intelligence gathering and that is a concern although probably not a present violation of U.S. law. As the new tech goes on line western powers and others that have no desire to kow tow to China as they might to Apple or Google intelligence gatherers, Facebook etc might want to ditch the Huawei phones etc.

White Queen was trapped after moving it to attack too early. I played black. Of course leaving the bishop en prise was inexplicable.

WWG1WGA, Broadcast Media and Corporatism

WWG1WGA is an interesting and to most, an unfamiliar word-string of letters. It is part of the Q and MAGA movements. One web site describes in at some length.

Mr Geddes calls WWG1WGA the greatest communications event in history.

https://medium.com/@martingeddes/wwg1wga-the-greatest-communications-event-in-history-698ba926df64

I would tend to call the phenomenon a natural result of average people that are materialists and atheists trying to rise in corporate media that is owned by the 1% of concentrated wealth. The philosophy of corporatism was invented by the Italian Fascist Dictator Benito Mussolini and unifies the government and corporate leadership. Adolf Hitler used it well in pre-war Germany. Unfortunately corporatism destroys individual civil liberties as efficiently as did Soviet Communism. National socialism and regular socialism are still collectives of meaningless proles living in a vast sardine can susceptible to Eleatic shrinking of wealth as corporate-government leaders prefer.

Sure there should be rectification of U.S. politics in order to stop the corrupted broadcast media from having its way brainwashing the American public generally for the benefit of corporatism. Pure materialists from average to the most wealthy lack a spiritual element and actually lack good sense regarding material value systems that is compounded through the middle term called money.

The corporate media, NPR sycophants of corporatist goals and the broadcast media complex of compresence inclusive of large social media Internet sites hate non-corporate profit  supporting and corporate goal controlling free expression. They minimize it and bury it in dark place of the Internet. Because concentrated wealth has its way in mass and social communications as well as rents their influence natural gets rid of free expression 'weeds'. Ordinary people are often satisfied with that because they haven't any creative thought for-themselves; they aren't philosophers that would like a perfect democracy with a vast freedom for spiritual and intellectual activity where inventors actually profit instead of ever idea trickling up to produce wealth for the 1%.

Basically no one in government or media has any good sense or awareness of the actual way things are or what is occurring. Not even global warming theory will fix the misunderstood political zeitgeist.

Obama's Man Comey Still Hostile to the President

Former F.B.I. Director James Comes Comey continues to show his hostility to the President that apparently began during his tenure in office. He had F.B.I. Employees working for him that were hostile too, and his record does appear biased in favor of the Democrat party. His most recent hostile act was to call the President a liar for a Presidential tweet saying euphemistically that government agents broke in to his former private attorney's office to take his confidential records. The language is euphemistic yet descriptive of the fact. It was true describing an aggressive, hostile action and not a lie. It was a lawful forced entry that was a break in from the victim's point of view...that is the entry and plundering was not done with the consent of the victim. Citizens don't want such events to become so common that the nation need begin a 'me too' movement describing government break ins to their personal attorney offices.

The President probably is smart enough to know that a legal warrant was issued for the exceeding rare act of violating attorney-client privilege to let prosecutors ransack what normally are confidential records. It was a threat to the security and integrity of the legal justice system of the United States with its adversarial form. Dictatorships of course have no reluctance or inhibition to violating any rights of the accused, yet in the United States that was at least beyond the pale, though there are some few circumstances where such violations or breaking of the normal legal procedures occur.

There are other trends from Clinton-Obama Democrats and fellow travelers that concern the erosion of freedom in the United States. That is, they can gloss over facts or true accounts and generate through sympathetic media big lies. When falsehoods take over the media and are common to become common currency in the courts and drive legal procedures to nearly unprecedented lengths such as breaking the sanctity of the office and records of the personal attorney of the President of the United States, democracy is in danger of becoming a sham.

Senator Schumer and the Tradition of Flaky Senatorial Palaver

It seems that every decade has its own special flaky U.S. Senator given to making inaccurate or just plain spaced statements. After Senator Helms passed on the nation was without one for a time. Senator Helms spoiled his irascible wierdness with some quality work and backbone too. Then along came Senator Lindsey Graham with a wacko opinion every week it seemed. Yet he gradually quit that and actually started sounding comparatively reasonable. He did a great dis-serve to watchers of politics when he quit the clownishness. 

So the nation has Senator Chuck Schemer to amuse them with illogic and disinterpretation of events for the present. Senators need to enrich special interests of course while accumulating wealth for-themselves. The are required to seem incapable of creative and efficient thought that would make a better more efficient and affodable government working for a better nation unceasingly for the people including the poor. Senator Schumer's public statement seem the antinomy of anything like that.

If Voters Had Known Of Moscow Project Would It Have Made a Difference?

If voters had known that the Trump organization was trying to build a hotel in Russia in 2016 would that have made a difference in the election? President Trump has properties and licensed places all over the world so overlooking Russia would have been strange.

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

If Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin had taken out an ad in the N.Y. Times in October 2016 saying that he was working with Donald Trump to build a hotel in Moscow (possibly) would that have elicited more than a yawn from readers?

The President of the United States made a pre-inaugural agreement that he wouldn't pursue foreign real estate or hotel deals while in office. I cannot say how far that applies to his organization. Yet it is not secretive apparently.

Wikipedia quotes Forbes magazine writing on the topic; “The Trump Organization has curtailed some of its international work, pulling out of deals in Azerbaijan, Georgia and Brazil, while pledging to do no new foreign deals (though it has apparently resurrected an old deal in the Dominican Republic). Trump’s international hotel licensing and management business only makes up $220 million of his estimated $3.5 billion fortune, but it’s the most dynamic part of the Trump portfolio—and it throws off chunks of cash with virtually no risk. As the Trumps have wound down some international deals, they continue to push forward with new domestic agreements.”

Forbes recently published an article claiming that President Putin of the Russian Federation had a hold over Donald Trump in that Donald Trump was fearful that Putin would let slip that Donald Trump had tried or was trying to build a hotel in Russia.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/stevedenning/2018/12/16/mueller-exposes-putins-hold-over-trump/#15cb5db248f6

That President Trump was going about normal business activity is the prime plum that Special Investigator has found according to Forbes. It is underwhelming enough. President Trump also owns a Vodka making business. That should not have been overlooked for possible Russian collusion in case any Russian experts were imbibing that in 2016 as a way to divide the nation that otherwise would love Hillary, Obamacare, homosexual marriage, illegal aliens, a degrading ecosphere and twenty trillion dollars of public debt.
