Democrats Invented the Politics of Fear?

I wasn’t aware of Democrat voters as reactionaries in fear. I did read about Senator Wyden speaking to college students in Oregon telling them ‘not to be afraid.’ I wondered then what kind of college students they are raising in America these days that need to be hugged and counseled not to fear because a Republican was elected to office.
That seemed rather pathetic. Democrats are themselves something to be fearful of if fear is a reasonable response to danger. Democrats are oppressors; not liberators. While the Constitution did provide a paradigm for the gradual social equalization of human and civil legal protections, Democrats have a profound tendency to simply use the law to repress people that naturally fare better economically than their members do, for they are a party of repression of those that aren’t natural Democrats.
Ideas are what are important. Democrats have moved toward identity in race and godless atheism, gender and sexual perversion or lack of to define their membership class. Apparently Democrats would like to live in a dream world without sharp objects or bright colors suitably muted as to flow like an amniotic medium. If Democrats are afraid, buy a gun.

Democrats ought to go for real politics with secure borders so the nation can exist without continuous strife, reformation of capitalism that would task it with regulations and incentives to the purpose of effecting ecospheric recovery and reduction of U.S. public debt. Porous borders are like a leaky bucket; if one pours the water of good policies into it they will just flow through into the desert sand. 
It is ironic that with the past century of support from the white male class in government toward social equalization of all American citizens it is the Democrat Party that works to destroy the United States and to end the constitution based freedom for individual economic self-determination with socialism. A basic trust in the constitution and the spirit of God is lacking from the Democratic Party. Patience and good sense are required to get legislation through such as prison reform. That issue alone is terribly complex to move through political economy structures. Democrats cannot get things done faster by following demagogues appealing to better angels in a party of atheists.
Democrats should stop trying to divide Americans. They should support a few plain and honest political goals that might reasonably be accomplished within a couple of presidential terms that most Americans could get on board with. They also should have practical ways to pay for those policies.
Rhetoric for Democrats often is used to fill in for their failure to have good ideas.

Democrats are the Tax Predator Party

Democrats are all about victimizing Americans. They have a plain identity profile for people that aren't natural Democrat party members and when they can, victimize them.


What right have democrats to try to force the President to publish his tax returns and throw his business methods as a free enterpriser entirely to the open? If they believe the President listed payments from the Russian government on his tax returns the Mueller Investigation couldn't discover elsewhere that would be the only valid reason. If Robert Mueller's team did not peruse the tax returns if might be reasonable that some neutral party could privately comb through it for the smoking rubles that would very improbably be located therein.

Hillary Clinton has asked the Chinese government to go after the President's tax returns. When the Clinton administration gave nuke technology to China they apparently made some friends there. Advancing socialism is a Democratic goal because it gets rid of democracy and the constitutional parameters created by a class the Democrat Party hates; strait white men.




Democrats use socialism as a lever to empower themselves. They seek to be more than equal through the power of government. They never fail to victimize Americans whenever they get the chance.

It is ironic that the Democrat Party also is one with anti-Semitism within its members. Some blacks and Muslims just don't have the best interests of Israel in mind. And then there is Bernie Sanders.

Former Senator Sanders is Jewish and pro-socialist. Socialism is a softer dictatorship of the proletariat sort of thing. Why Mr. Sanders seems unaware of the history of Jewish leadership in the revolutionary movement toward the end of the First World War that levered the end of the government to bring in the Weimar Republic and all that followed is unknown to me. Jewish socialist leadership in that German revolution enabled the rise of Adolph Hitler. Hitler's beer hall speech was the same Munich beer hall that a Jewish socialist leader had begun the movement against German aristocrats to end the war.

There are political actors that would foment strife within the United States for the benefit of external parties. Sanders has blundered into providing fuel for some of the gullible dummies that sympathize with Nazi socialists. Maybe a neo-Hitler will even arise from within the Democrat party.

While I support Israel and appreciate Jewish contributions to the United States, Mr. Sander’s failure to recognize too many similarities of history repeating itself in a diluted form is plainly not helpful to the United States or Israel, especially while the Venezuelan socialist tyrant Maduro is actively repressing the masses with Chinese, Cuban and Russian assistance.

The Democrat party is quite untrustworthy for Americans these days. They are a party of socialist treason globally with porous borders and paradoxically rising with concentrated wealth Democrat leaders aspire to be part of.

Bernie Sanders should have transitioned from pro-socialism to pro-reform of capitalism and free enterprise tying it into ecospheric restoration. Within a free-enterprise, non-socialist political economy the United States may continue to flourish and serve simultaneously as world leaders in ecological economics. Being a died-in-the-wool Jewish socialist is almost a caricature of things past and emblematic of the globalist lunacy of the Democrat party.

Defeating Malthusian Problems With Determination, Intelligence and the Willl of God

Man does not live by bread alone; he needs a healthy ecosphere too, as well as spiritual liberty. Some ecologists have said the carrying capacity of the Earth is two billion people. Yet there is no reason to panic immediately (save that for later). Human prospects are limited by their lack of good sense, foresight and engineering rather than necessity. Malthus regarded people as one might regard bacterial growth in a Petri dish that exhausts its food supply. Hopefully people are a little smarter than bacteria and can do better at sustaining their existence and ecosphere-medium culture.
It would be possible to convert the Earth into an ecosphere park for humanity. Humanity would live mostly off-world in space constructs. Inorganic material could be harvested from other planets and moons for industrial purposes. Projects to build vast new ecospheres in various solar system niches could go ahead. Imagination and determination is all that is lacking.


In the meantime as much of the Earth that can be restored to ecospheric health as possible should be attempted. Because pragmatic scientists like James Lovelock have said that the Earth may tolerate human economic development in its present form just another century or two before breaking down (from a human life sustainability point of view), it might be good to limit new city development to forms that would survive ecospheric breakdown better than steel-glass box cities. Humans could build artificial mountain ranges and develop a pollution free electric transportation infrastructure with clean energy. Wildlife could be tagged and tracked so large mammals could return to wander freely. Even so, if global atmospheric and oceanic heating crashes world agriculture human survival might fare better within temperature-controlled hollow mountain ranges.

Agriculture on places like the moon should be productive. In low gravity one would expect vegetables to grow 600% to 1800% larger than on Earth. In zero gravity there may be no real size limit to vegetable growth…maybe potatoes could grow the size of domed football stadiums. Sealed growing micro-ecospheres would recycle and conserve water on Earth and in space. Space products could be grown, dehydrated and sent to Earth with the water mostly remaining at the source.

Ecological economic policies will be requisite throughout the solar system in the centuries ahead (and sooner hopefully). The primitive unsustainable and wasteful historical ways just won’t work on a tight environmental budget.

Humanity need apply reason, knowledge and common sense to solve the worlds’ problems to its survival. The problems are within us rather than in the stars.

Yeti Footprints May Be All Proof Demos Need of Trump-Russian Collusion

Some people don’t believe N.A.S.A. landed astronauts on the moon. Neither do people believe that President Trump is guilty of collusion with Russia. With the recently failed Mueller Report people unemployed and available for retasking to new investigatory work, Democrats can set them to confirming the proposition that no one landed on the moon isn’t false, that President Kennedy faked the Apollo program and that President Nixon was making a call to a 900 number when he was pretending to be talking to Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin on the moon (they played a studio-produced tape recording)
It is easy to show that President Trump really did collude with Russia to overthrow capitalism and may have done so all of the way back to the Brezhniev/Podgorny era. Hollow rockets at Cape Canaveral lifted off with the help of hidden tiny aircraft inside before disintegrating high above out of sight of observers; that fact was well known to insiders aboard blacks ships (formerly known as U.F.O.s).
The Indian Army at high altitude sped up renewed interest in proving that President Trump colluded with Russian President Vladimir Putin to win the 2016 election. An ancient Nazi eugenics program to make Yetis larger, more formidable foes of France (formerly they were pygmies) may have been exploited by Vladimir Putin to exfiltrate safe control instructions to President Trump).
Plainly the Yeti footprints show that a back-trail message network between Trump and Putin that was untraceable by conventional electronic surveillance technology was in operation recently. One may infer from that with post hoc ergo propter hoc* reverse spin two critical elements important to the Democratic inquiry regarding the President's K.G.B. connections. One is that the Yeti network proves collusion and two; the Universe is accelerating faster than was previously known and therefore the collusion is far worse than previously confirmed.*
Evidentiary photo of Vladimir Putin on way to Yeti pigeon drop
Former Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton could possibly have connections that can prove the collusion even more; when channeling Eleanor Roosevelt she could ask for images from Indira Ghandi of the high-altitude Yeti pigeon drops.
*technical jargon meaning before or after this because, or due to that
*scientific paradigmata meaning quantum super-position of proof confirming Trump-guilt is placed on event horizon of recently photographed black hole
One must stay with the facts, even when most people don’t.

What Infrastructure Would Elon Musk Rebuild With $2 Trillion?

What could Elon Musk do with two trillion dollars if he was tasked with rebuilding or innovating replacement American infrastructure? Congressional leaders have agreed with President Trump to spend two trillion dollars on infrastructure, yet public debt is already $22 trillion. Adding more debt won't help the nation. Neither would adding infrastructure paradigms that were new a century ago.


https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/dems-say-trump-agrees-on-2-trillion-infrastructure-goal/2019/04/30/c350477e-6b89-11e9-bbe7-1c798fb80536_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.db6465b34485

Are government politicians smart enough to get more bang for two trillion bucks? Could some of Beto O'Rourke's or AOC's green ideas fit in? A better approach might be for the government to solicit ideas on the best uses for two trillion, before deciding to throw out the pork.

Venezuelan Uprising Shows Civilians Have Tough Job Without Merc Support

Venezuela's uprising against the Maduro regime shows the difficulty a popular civilian movement has in revolting against military protected unpopular elitist rule. When Boris Yeltsin got rid of the unpopular Supreme Soviet he had solid military support. Without at least shoulder-fired rockets to destroy urban armor putting down civilians, civilians have little chance of successfully revolting against a tyrannical government.

One wonders why the Trump administration is recalcitrant on providing arms able to get the attention of the Maduro military, such as rockets. Those items are very easy to use. Civilians can work them for-themselves.

Nominal Comparison of Carlsen's and Kasparov's Career Vectors

I.M.O.world chess champion Magnus Carlsen seems like the next generation Kasparov. Fischer might have had more intellectual capability than either. If Carlsen and Kasparov’s life situations were exchanged (Carlsen growing up in the Soviet chess school) the results would be about the same regarding ratings with Kasparov going for 2900.

Caesar vs Napoleon at Chess- The Winner Is?

On raw ability without training in chess, Caesar had better potential to win at chess than Napoleon. Caesar was a brilliant military engineer and strategist; possibly the best in the history of war. A sharp engineer might calculate chess board combinations better than a non-commissioned artillery officer . If one was drafting talent to play in the pro chess league Caesar would be selected in the first round while Napoleon would be lucky to be signed as a free agent.
Napoleon avoided facing the Russian General Suvorov- a wise choice for he would have lost in conflict, and made an expedition to Egypt instead. Caesar probably would have discovered a way to trap Suvorov instead of avoiding him until General Suvorov became hors de combat due to old age, as did Napoleon.

NRA Needs Sigourney Weaver to Be Its Leader

The NRA Needs to be pro-active and hire a female president able to bring women into the gun club. Sigourney Weaver was an early role model for the modern woman tough-as-nails kick-butt individual. In The Alien she was the sole survivor with common sense.

While some guy like Bruce Willis could take the duties seriously with the gravitas the job deserves, President Trump is in a panic that Democrats are trying to destroy the American right to own guns so females and homosexuals may dominate them within a socialist new world order. Maybe only a woman with good kung fu can right the capsized NRA ship’s course.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-says-nra-under-siege-by-dem-officials-who-want-to-destroy-it

Ideally Milla Jovovich would be the President of the N.R.A., or even the captain of the space ship Raza in Dark Matter. She is a tough one with all sorts of good moves.


V.A. Dentists May Have Zero Production Incentive

Veterans Administration dentists apparently have no incentive to be productive and treat a lot of veterans. V.A. dentists are paid an annual salary of nearly a quarter of a million dollars with benefits and retirement and  vacation time as well. Where a dentist in private practice might treat a dozen patients a day, V.A. dentists may treat few or none. That leaves veterans with a lot of bad teeth.

Probably the Trump administration should create some kind of productivity incentive, because a certain percentage of V.A. dentists need motivation to be more productive. Some V.A. dentists are quite productive, yet the motivation is personal for there is no requirement for it.

SD Synagogue Shooter May Have Been Godless Atheist

The 19-year-old San Diego synagogue shooter was the son of a high school science teacher. Because an arsonist hit a mosque near the synagogue a month ago it is reasonable to speculate that the shooter may have been the arsonist too. His particular hate motivation to attack Abrahamic religious centers may have been godless atheist hate driven by evolutionists that hate Christians, Muslims and Jews. Jews are the softest targets of the three because they are fewer in numbers.

Democrats and California colleges are a cluster of godless atheists that regard Abrahamic faiths as puerile. Democrats and other godless atheists seek to defile and degrade those of faith with purging and death in order to leave themselves as worldly examples of kosher dirty swine.

What About a Space Elevator from the Moon to Stationary Space Platform


While N.A.S.A. is calling for more plans for a lunar lander-launcher, shouldn't it ask for plans for a lunar space elevator as well?

Assembling space elevator modules on Earth that could be set to work on the moon seems reasonably cost effective. The cable would be far cheaper than an earth to space elevator.

https://www.wired.com/story/the-physics-of-launching-a-lunar-lander-from-the-moons-surface/

Easier to put together with lower gravity and nearly no atmosphere- along with superconducting possibilities and easy solar energy capture, a space elevator would allow unlimited orbital access to the lunar surface and back without the non-sustainable rocket fuel requisite since the lunar space elevator would be electrical. It might be possible to construct a space elevator cable constructing system module on the lunar surface. Aluminum as I understand it, natural welds in microgravity; maybe some powder excreted from loaded modules could build upward from the moon toward space 11.5 kilometers.

Super-conducting storage loops in low temperature super-conductor and solar panels or a nuclear generator should keep the elevator power supply fully charged all the time. Maybe there should be two elevators; one for cargo and the other personnel. If the space elevator cable was charged and super-conducting it could let passenger and cargo modules crawl up and down the line.


Developing thin or no-atmosphere space elevators as easy to install as placing an anchor from a boat to the seafloor might be useful on a variety of solar system moons and planetary missions.


Travel on the lunar surface should be expedited with solar energy charged low temperature superconducting power lines to recharge electric vehicles.

President Trump Was Invited to Host the 2016 World Chess Championship

On the topic of making the World Chess Championship more interesting there is some left over old business that seems somewhat germane. ABC has published an article about the invitation of then-FIDE Chess President Kirsan Ilyumzhinov to Donald Trump to host the 2016 World Chess Championship at Trump Tower in New York. Instead, the event was held in a converted fish processing factory. President Trump apparently wasn't aware of the effort to involve him in the World Chess Championship.

https://www.ft.com/content/f4d0dfea-559d-11e9-91f9-b6515a54c5b1 Financial Times article on Russian-FIDE Presidential collusion

Elite chess has had an appearance of being a mildly swingy tool of political machination the past 30 years. The Mueller Investigation found the appearance of dirt, or mud, that seemed to adhere to the former FIDE President with his alleged Kremlin ties.

An article offers evidence that Bernie Sanders can play chess, as well as Donald Trump. https://en.chessbase.com/post/hillary-clinton-looking-for-irina-krush

At age 22, Trump took chess so seriously he threatened suit for someone who found flaws in his solution to a chess problem presented in an article in Chess Life (Feb. 1968).

"White to play and mate in four moves
The solution given by Trump is: 1.Qxd7 h5 2.c8=N+! Ka6 3. b4 h4 4.Qc6#. "

President Ilyumzhinov visited several corrupt leaders just before a war started; Saddam Hussein, Muammar Gaddafi, Bashir Assad. The concept is that he was some sort of unofficial representative of the Kremlin. He may have provided secret chess intelligence, such as how to assure a drawn game, or novelties in the Roy Lopez, I would guess.

Hillary Clinton might not play chess. The sole link I could find to the topic was her try at identifying U.S. Chess champion Irina Crush.

On the Social-Political Organization of Kenya Before Independence

Kenya has a fascinating history, being one of the oldest regions continuously occupied by humans. I haven’t any kind of specialization reading Kenyan history. I have read a couple of books on general African history, yet the wikipedia article on the History of Kenya itself surpasses my knowledge. I will summarize the salient points of the article in regard to the OP in case readers haven’t access to it.
Khoisan speakers and southern Nilotic language speaking groups arrived in Kenya in due order. Bantu expansion reached a high about 1000 a.d. Swahili is a Bantu language. Portuguese explorers arrived and established a presence in the 16th century. Ft. Jesus in Mombasa was an early site. Later Arabs arrived to assert power and influence.
In addition to the organic presence of several races before the British established a protectorate and then colony there, The Kenya Colony, in 1920, there was a collateral thread of the modernization and upgrade of the social and political awareness of Kenyans,
The Kenyan African Union was formed by Harry Thuku of the Kikuyu people who were politically excluded, in 1924.
Kenyans served in a branch of the British Army (King’s African Rifles) during the Second World War and were restive and egalitarian, independence minded afterward. A revolutionary movement developed during the Cold War era. The 1950s Mau Mau movement was a vicious conflict that had 15,000 African casualties. The British Colonial authority suppressed the rebellion, yet allowed a Kenyan political independence movement to grow within the system.
The United States under the Kennedy administration was supporting selective Kenyan college education in the United States. Britain wasn’t happy with the rise of a new educated Kenyan class of potential leaders
Following is a complete quote, rather than a paraphrase of the wiki article on the form of government just before independence (in response to the OP)
“In 1962, a KANU-KADU coalition government, including both Kenyatta and Ngala, was formed. The 1962 constitution established a bicameral legislature consisting of a 117-member House of Representatives and a 41-member Senate. The country was divided into 7 semi-autonomous regions, each with its own regional assembly. The quota principle of reserved seats for non-Africans was abandoned, and open elections were held in May 1963. KADU gained control of the assemblies in the Rift Valley, Coast and Western regions. KANU won majorities in the Senate and House of Representatives, and in the assemblies in the Central, Eastern and Nyanza regions.
Kenya now achieved internal self-government with Jomo Kenyatta as its first president. The British and KANU agreed, over KADU protests, to constitutional changes in October 1963 strengthening the central government.
Kenya attained independence on 1st June 1963 and was declared a republic on 12th December 1964 with Jomo Kenyatta as Head of State
In 1964 constitutional changes further centralised the government and various state organs were formed. One of the key state organs was the Central Bank of Kenyawhich was established in 1966.
The British government bought out the white settlers and they mostly left Kenya. The Indian minority dominated retail business in the cities and most towns, but was deeply distrusted by the Africans. As a result, 120,000 of the 176,000 Indians kept their old British passports rather than become citizens of an independent Kenya; large numbers left Kenya, most of them headed to Britain.”

Basic Chess Tournament Sites

 It takes a while to orient with chess resources. One likes to learn from chess star players of course. Following them is like following football stars and stats. One needs to learn to play for-oneself, yet one can accelerate that watching GM Super-tournaments.

Numerous sources exist to discover when those tournaments are being played.

US Public Debt; The Wisdom of Insecurity

The national economy isn’t the whole world. The late Allan Watts published a book titled ‘The Wisdom of Insecurity’. One should feel a little detached from and reflective on the secular processes around oneself. In a democracy one should also reign in excesses and radical departures from moderate egalitarianism that threaten to reduce the body politic to irrelevant chattel for insiders of power. The vast U.S. pubic debt is a threat to the well being of the poor and middle class for it is they who will be made to suffer when the time comes to liquidate the debt.

The Wisdom of Insecurity

The U.S. economy faces many challenges. The old-style economics the President is using to tighten up unemployment numbers is based on unsustainable resource exploitation and world ecospheric habitat destruction. That is a concern. The President is a New York City shag carpet baby with little regard for the externalities of ecospheric reality. For him reality is social reality, power and metrics for buildings and office space. He is competent within a limited intellectual horizon of business.

Twenty-two trillion dollars of public debt that have compiled with supply-side economics since the Reagan administration are a testament to the willingness of leaders to take immediate profit and let the down-side go to the future.

It would be useful to elect a nationalist, real-politic ecological economic moderately conservative president who seeks to reform capitalism through accurate regulation that would cast the broken environmental legs and bring them to heal in support of sustainable ecological economic policy. Unfortunately the Democrats are 100% about divisiveness and old-style identity politics maxed out; they seek after class power for themselves and attack any opposition. While that is occurring some scientists speculate that just a century remains before a great environmental economic crash occurs ending the majority of human life on Earth.

It is always good, especially in regard to the brevity of human life, to keep an eye on the goal of eternal life with God through the Son, Jesus Christ.

That there just aren’t competent candidates with solid ecological economic understanding with reform plans that even run in Democratic primaries is alarming. American politicians nearly always seem like spoilt, ignorant, trained in old-style capitalism existentialist or relativity-colonialists without the sense God gave them. Maybe Americans will luck out with blind, random chance. The improbable has happened before.

Why Did Brit Crown Knight Elton John and Not James Lovelock?

It may be a reflection on the times that the British Crown choose to select a rock and roll musician famous for homosexuality and ignore the inventor of the Gaia Theory of ecospheric self-regulation. James Lovelock also proved the existence of the ozone hole at Antarctica. Isn't the survival of human life on Earth at least as important as homosexual celebrations in London and elsewhere?

Maybe Stephen Seagall Should Be N.R.A. President

The N.R.A. is in leadership disarray following President Trump's speech to the organization that defends American civil liberties to own guns. There probably is no causal tie between former Regan Administration field expediter-convicted-felon Oliver North's allegedly  black-mailing the N.R.A. 's Wayne Lapierre to resign. Even less likely is the chance that it centered on Democratic plans to allow felons to vote while in prison. Even so the N.R.A. may need another Charleston Heston style leader, and that just might be Stephen Seagall, Sylvester Stallone or Bruce Willis.

Democrats May Be Planning Future Presidential Campaigns From Jail

With news that a few prominent Democrats are agitating to allow prisoners the right to vote in federal elections questions arise as to why and how such a program of thought developed. 

https://www.yahoo.com/news/aoc-joins-bernie-in-backing-voting-rights-for-prisoners-163930237.html

Traditionally those that have lost the right to freedom have lost the right to vote too. Those that disrespect the laws lose certain protections of the law; and civic rights, until all of their rights are restored upon completing sentence and parole. 

Millions of convicted felons in prison have tight political organization-gangs that might like to join the Democratic party to elect some of their own to office in order to gain better living conditions, to elect better judges and politicians that understand the trying challenges prisoners have toward escaping to better, upwardly mobile lives.

With Democrats possibly becoming concerned about being charged and convicted of crimes while in office, the practical expediency of making it possible for convicted felons to vote and run for office while in prison may have seemed a conservative step for them to take.

The 1% Slop the Pigs Good

The U.S. economy is as robust as it has ever been within a classical western economic paradigm. President Trump is good at business, yet it’s non-sustainable business ecologically, and public debt is $22 trillion. Paying interest on the debt is quite costly; nearing a trillion annually. Most of the national income goes to 1% of the population. The share paid to the poorest 50% of the people vs the 1% is comparable to the cost of slopping the pigs for a farmer.
An interesting point is that China is the world’s largest consumer of automobiles. American manufacturers need to sell cars to China in the years ahead, as well as in Latin America and India. Cars are harmful to the world ecosphere in a number of ways including the roads built for them, asphalt heat absorbing parking lots, pollutants etc. Old style non-sustainable economics doesn’t care about reducing the human footprint or pursuing ecospheric synergy with human economic activity. With no U.S. global leadership in moving toward low pollution, non-invasive hypertube mass transit for the majority of substantive human travel, the world will become even more saturated with cars, more forests destroyed, more species made extinct, ocean temperatures grown warmer while the rich have better air conditioning.
Neither Obama or Trump- especially Trump, put any effort into, nor have understanding of, ecological economics. What the United States needs is a good employment rate based on new ecological economic sustainability policy (rf. Amazon.com: Ecological Economics, Second Edition: Principles and Applications (9781597266819): Herman E. Daly, Joshua Farley: Books ). If one considers the implicit weakness of ecospherically unsustainable economic infrastructure- the HES virus (Human Economic Structure), then both Presidents Obama and Trump rate an F on economic leadership.
