President Obama's Race Legacy

President Obama's two terms seemed to stimulate black urban riots as a means to advance black political causes. It is challenging to justify claims that he did much for blacks besides creating a sense of entitlement to king tribal leadership.

While people have made Rosa Parks Memorial jokes about the tragic Las Vegas police video release of a black woman pushing an old white man to his death from a bus, it does give people reason to wonder what sort of changes the Democrat Party had in expropriating or redistributing retirement benefits such as Medicare from the elderly to the everyone, perhaps letting the elderly keep their diluted benefits for a while. I would guess the end game idea is to stress the social safety net to breaking and cancellation. The 1% might like that.

Democrats have problems with the 2020 election in finding qualified people with experience meaningful to the job. That's why former V.P. and Senator Joe Biden is leading; even Democrats don't want to play Russian roulette again with the well being of the nation.

A President of the United States need not be a senior government worker or bureaucrat as President Trump showed in being elected. Yet if a politicians has been in the Senate a dozen years or so he or she had to have learned something on the job about how and what a President should know. The Democrats have a slew of candidates that don't have experience in military affairs, business economics, environmental economic or International Relations. Neither should a candidate be a close relative of a prior President since a Republic or even a Democracy isn't sort of imperial.

President Obama was pretty under-qualified to be President. A very lackluster term or two in the Illinois legislature and less than a full term as a U.S. Senator. He was just fast-tracked by the Harvard people as a front yard black politicians who would do their bidding.

I doubt that a single Democrat in the Senate would have led a tax cuts for the ultra-rich fight the way President Obama did. Harvard might have liked it but the people were largely screwed. When the stock market crash of 1929-30 hit the nation the next President (F.D.R.) fixed the problem and eventually raised taxes on the rich to 90%. Keeping the tax rate high worked for the better part of half a century.

Under-qualified candidates can start wars that get millions of people killed or injured as did President Obama. President Trump has yet to start such a war, or series of wars. Instead he has focused on business when not distracted by interminable Democrat-led investigations on a hypothetical connection between himself and the Russian government. Another under-qualified Democrat in the White House could let another series of second and third world wars start and supply weapons and training for them. Sure the global warming issue is meaningful, yet panic about that make it a good political issue and is one of the few legitimate items on an agenda any mention.

Democrats need to be a little more traditional (actually a lot). They should talk about reducing public debt, securing national borders, keeping full employment while transitioning business to ecospherically synergistic and sustainable methods. They should respect families and individual rights and return marriage toward a heterosexual establishment and create a separate and new [package for homosexuals. Democrats should respect the sensibilities of others and not inevitably work to force their corrupt will upon other citizens.

The Solar Trouble With Iran

Iran has a couple of serious issues that make it a problem for free nations. I have a list somewhere of free nations lacking facial recognition systems. One may be the city-state of San Francisco that recently banned such from private use or maybe government too. It's a good place to hide out it you are an international fugitive although you might need to be homosexual.

Iran is a great location for solar power collection and UV rays for skin cancer fashions. Iran should be an Asian leader in solar power installations and electric car production. Missiles aren’t a good investment. Iranian leaders should be thinking carbon-free transportation infrastructure now.

Unfortunately it also has Muslim religion. Let me explain about Muslim religion for you godless atheists out there.

Muslim is a dumbed down amalgam of Judaeo-Christianity with the sole requirement of loyalty  to the intifadah leader,politically speaking . It has a unified mosque-state theocratic form of government that makes jihad on everyone else twice a year during Ramadan and Yom Kippur.

Muslim countries have no homosexuals. That is a good side of the political-faith in All Law. The bad side is that Muslim is a heresy that gets no followers saved; they believe in a godless hedonist secularist after-life with 99 virgins for carnal happiness and no problems of original sin following. Muhammad's strong points were not in theology.

So getting Iran to quit hating Israel and get rid of nuclear bombs and missiles to become a good western nation of computer code writers and financial related services people will be difficult. Contemporary western theories requires that all heretic, terrorist nations like Iran convert to godless homosexual corporate states that love The View and pork barrel spending.

Maybe Democrats have a plan to send Presidential candidate Pete Buttijudge to make some kind of peace accord with Iran negotiating homosexual conditions satisfying to Democrats.

In case of war along the Iran-Irac border it is certain that the U.S. military will utilize kinder, compassionate tactics that forego building bridges with opfor bodies.

Good luck to all.

U.S. Gov Should Buy Soybeans

The U.S. Government should buy millions of tons of soybeans this year for food stamp recipients. A contractor could make the soy into chewable food bars and the government would buy them. They might actually work well in school lunch programs too.

There is no better all-around food than soy except maybe peanuts so while the trade war is on and China is letting its people eat degraded meat potted products instead of healthy soy the U.S. government should try doing something practical.

The Trump administration is robbing Peter to pay Paul on the 1.6 billion for the moon budget. They shouldn't take anything from Pell grants for the U.S.A. needs educated people, and far too many poor students just can't afford college without the Pell Grants.

The moon is important of course. Maybe they will need to cut a deal with Bezos or Musk and use their moon lander.  A billion on a moon research base might be a better investment.

US Investors in China Deserve a Trade War

U.S. investors in China deserve a trade war. It is a kind of reality check. They need to know they are building up the main adversary of the United States in the secular world besides the Democrat Party.

For decades American business has been offshoring production to China and neglecting the United States. Politicians have cut tax on the most rich to let the Warren Buffets and Steve Jobs have more to invest in China. The idea is that they will create some work for Americans now and then while Democrats talk about a low growth economy for environmental reason whenever the Chinese rate of economic growth is between 7 and 15% annually.

The infrastructure of the United States is old and worn down. It is not at any rate forward looking for new and better things. China in many respects is forward looking with leads in electric vehicle sales and hydrogen car infrastructure.

China has been given far to great of an advantage over the United States in business. Wall Street is all-Chinese these days leaping into business partnerships and that isn't good for the United States. Fundamentally the plan in D.C. is to have a strong military to protect Wall Street 1%er profits and properties in China. 

President Trump must find negotiating with China rather irresistible. A trade war can rectify many wrongs built by the irrational exuberance of investors in China that don't consider externalities such as pollution or national security meaningful. Neither do they regard the nation's infrastructure, public debt or average wage and standard of living as greatly of concern.

It is unfortunate that President Trump is not an ecologist of some sort for the field for creating a carbon-free transportation infrastructure is ripe for exploiting in a positive sense of development. If he were to reconstruct the nation's infrastructure with a carbon-free transportation network that might actual garner enough respect that some would take his claim to making America great again seriously.

In the meanwhile the Wall Street China crew can enjoy learning the difference between investing in America and investing in China.

A Border Control Fresh Water and Hydrogen Canal Project Would Be Useful

It might be a good idea to combine three national material goals in one system of a border control canal along the sunshiny Mexican-American desert. One might cover the canals that are filled with salt water pumped up from the Pacific Ocean to Deming New Mexico. Water would flow downhill east and west from the continental divide, with numerous locks on the way.

 The covers would be honeycombed plastic-like solar voltaics electricity producers along the length of the canal. The electricity generated would be used for electrolysis to produce hydrogen and oxygen. Some of the water would evaporate under the sloped air-tight covers and slide off as fresh water into a collection canal.

The project would obstruct illegal immigration to the U.S.A., produce hydrogen, oxygen and fresh water for farming along the canal zone. The hydrogen would be condensed and delivered by pipelines to fueling stations for hydrogen vehicles along Interstates and Texas border highways.

Rep Talib's Gaff Sounded Like She Gets Comfort from the Holocaust

Representative Talib's remark about Jews and the holocaust gives the appearance that she gets comfort from 6 million Jews being killed by Nazis in W.W. 2 death camps. It is comforting to her because the Jews took Palestine for-themselves after the Palestinians waged a war on the Jews because Palestinians were unwilling to share.

The insensitive remark could be taken in another way of course. Yet the Representative should not have made a remark that was a paradigmatic double entendre.

Sure Speaker Pelosi can defend the remark. I doubt that Senator Feinstein would. The Democrat party does have some cheesy characters.

Yes Robert E. Lee Was a Traitor, Yet Who Cares Now?

A traitor wages war directly other through or means on his own country. It is a material defect in good faith required of citizens. So Robert E. Lee was in a real sense a traitor. Yet one must ask; who cares after 154 years?

The Confederacy was a collection of supremacist rebels that wanted to force their will upon the citizens of the United States. Mr. Lee was happy enough to command the military forces that sought to divide the nation if not impose slavery upon the states.

I won a game in on-line blitz chess today from a guy with a rebel flag for an icon. Then it changed to Turkish after the loss. Some people still use the symbol to throw gasoline on political fires.

Robert E. Lee’s father was a convicted land swindler. It may be that Mr. Lee had something of his father’s rakish nature about him. He seemed to pursue upward social mobility for himself at all costs, and if marrying George Washington’s adopted son’s daughter and moving into the Washington properties wasn’t enough to satisfy him, and being named to lead West Point to supervise young men with all of the pomp and formality required left him feeling somewhat impoverished in stature, the opportunity to lead a new nation like his grand-father in law George Washington must have seemed like the real thing to him at least. 

The sense of glory and destiny must have been overwhelming for Robert E. Lee. His leadership wasn’t very good. He even disobeyed his Confederate President Jeff Davis in taking his army to campaign across the Potomac expecting support from welcoming northerners that never materialized.

Facebook Should Breakup into Red and Blue Books

Facebook has gone too far in promoting unAmerican interests around the world facilitating as they have Russian advertising and invading privacy of those making Facebook their lives.

https://www.vox.com/2019/5/12/18616663/kamala-harris-cory-booker-elizabeth-warren-address-break-up-facebook

Plainly an American corporation that relies upon chat and video stuff without paying users for content should be suspect of commie pinko or extreme royal expropriative tendencies. That is why it should be broken up at least into Red Book and Blue Book with the rest being foreign Russian stuff book material.

It that doesn't work a new chpater named N.R.A. book could be formed with all kinds of cool military and hunting stuff including Tom Clancy games and righteous hunting of domestic commie subversives.

For an alternative subculture a Left-Wing Leninism page could be made for socialist utopians with unlimited access to any sort of cuddly we are lovable stuff with much hate and abuse of right wing moderate figures like Donald Trump. 

Just ideas about promoting free speech.

Credo Ecclesium; a Question of Credibility

The reformed church in removing the chaff of erroneous doctrine may have made the error of regarding its Biblical exegesis as complete or final? What if the Holy Spirit leads one to interpret Genesis as indicating an evolutionary mode implemented within the creation?  The Word may have its meaning revealed or understood when the time is correct.

Because the reformers had no concept of evolution, the interpretation along evolutionary grounds would have been improbable. For those of us that learned science at the same time as the Bible, it may be obvious.

I think the phrase of Calvin's credo in ecclesium vs credo ecclesium may be useful in understanding part of the contemporary problem of faith. People don't believe the church version of creation. It does rely on an old interpretation of scripture. Without coercion at all nor conflict of interest one may interpret Genesis within evolution parameters contingent upon the omnipotence of God for whom all things are completely malleable.

The Extra-Calvinisticum Makes Sense on Platonic Grounds

There was a difference of opinion between Lutherans and Calvinist reformers in Christology regarding The Son as the Logos, Word or Verb of God and Jesus the fully incarnate man. Kenotic theory ran of the opinion that The Son emptied himself entirely into the fleshly incarnate being of Jesus. Calvin believed there was a difference.

The difference is that The Son and Logos, Verb or Word did not entirely transfer himself into the fleshy incarnation of Jesus Christ. If he had then Jesus wouldn't have been able to experience the human experience fully as he did. The juxtaposition of nature in the eternal and heavenly with the worldly and temporal creates implicit difficulties in understanding.

With Plato's theory of forms it is easy to find a solution to the enigma. Jesus as man was like a Universal form making itself into a particular, with the difference being that the particular was the Universal in nature and being, yet limited in the capacities of the Universal as the particular. While the particular fleshy form of Jesus could live as  a man, suffer and be crucified, the fleshy form could not have the vision and perspective of the Universal form.
Jesus as the Word of God, as The Son, would keep the experience of being a man upon return to the Universal form. For Jesus though the Universal form is the being containing all possible sets or forms including Himself as a particular. Upon visiting the disciples after crucifixion and resurrection the Lord Jesus had an ambiguous form neither entirely fleshy nor entirely Universal. A mode of being neither physical and subject to the physical laws of cosmology nor in a form of heavenly non-temporal being that is a metaphysical question for humans.

The Son as the progenitor of all forms was of God, and was with God co-eternally. The Son is God yet a distinct personality-for-others. When the Son became the particular Jesus Christ the form of The Son ineluctably remained while the particular expressed its existence.

The President With the Greatest First Two Years

President Trump claimed to have the greatest first two years in office of any U.S. President. George Washington was the greatest U.S. President, although much what made him the best occurred before he took office. His unwillingness to let let the Presidential Office be more royal followed his leading the Revolutionary Army to victory. President Trump has yet to entirely secure the southern border, though he tries.

 President Trump has withstood more criticism and oppression by opponents than any former U.S.President except perhaps Abraham Lincoln. He has been a tough guy and has strengthened America against legions of those trying to weaken it. Thomas Jefferson however bought the Louisiana territory in 1803 after becoming President in 1801. That purchase made him debateably the greatest U.S. President in the first two years.

No one would mention Andrew Johnson’s purchase of Alaska yet that was not a small accomplishment either. President Trump is a business and sales guy and uses hyperbole and promotion to gain advantages politically for himself and the nation. His opponents call that lying, as if the godless, atheist, left had scruples about lying themselves.

One might consider President Reagan’s turnaround of the economy from the Carter malaise to one of vigor. If one doesn’t like Christians or Russia President Clinton’s first two years accomplished reforming the Cold War for the future in getting Yeltsin to give up Ukraine and Crimea, and burning Christians at Waco Texas, and might be their ticket. President Obama stimulated wars across North Africa and the Middle east after winning a Nobel Peace Prize and gave huge tax cuts to the rich as well as zero interest loans by the trillions to big banks so they could electronically mint trillions. Of course that pales in comparison to his later work in levering homosexual marriage on the nation through state legislatures and the Supreme Court with his judicial appointments; some might like that sort of thing.

President Eisenhower might have done the most in his first two years of anyone. The world was a three ring circus then with chaos and war ubiquitous, and modernity forced technological and scientific changes at home and abroad in economics and society. Eisenhower used the 101st Airborne to integrate schools in Little Rock Arkansas eventually. He was as much of a federalist law enforcer as Abraham Lincoln- who in his first two years had the tough luck of a challenging war and was compelled to fight against national disintegration.

President Kennedy accomplished a lot in three years before his assassination, The Apollo program might be his greatest legacy. He had failures like the Bay of Pigs too, yet I recall his challenge to all Americans to make a 50-mile hike. His expression ‘Ask not what you country can do for you but what you can do for your country’ was as inspirational as ‘when the tide comes in, all of the ships in the harbor rise.’ Kennedy was an inspirational leader.

President Trump has had a solid first two years in office. I would like someone good at ecological economics as President who is nonetheless nationalist, yet those don’t exist. The President is trying a long term rectification of China-U.S. trade that needed work to correct after the decade of U.S. business relocating there while the nation was flooded with illegal aliens etc. So the President is not exactly my idea of the best servant of the people one might find.

He did however appoint two moderately conservative judges and will continue that into a second term hopefully. If his claim to be the greatest ever in his first two years in office falls short of complete accuracy, it is at least consistent with his effort to promote everything American including himself.

Moderation in Human Space Development and Eco-Conservation

When billionaire Jeff Bezos declared the desire to expand human lifestyles into the solar system with a trillion people inhabiting every available niche and construction possible he expressed two human characteristics simultaneously. One was the honorable desire to advance technologically and explore. The second was careless, intemperate disregard of collateral damage to the ecosphere that supports life.

On Earth the ecosphere of the planet is under relentless, sustained attack and degradation from overuse. The concern of Wall Street is for profits with disregard for externalities such as the world outside profit margins. That is why moderation and temperance need return to business through regulation and reform of capitalism such that democracy could be rectified. And the citizens need look to the Democrat party for temperance and reason?

The Democrat Party today is godless and non-rational. Its leadership is incapable of coordinating and balancing its own policies. Its extremes run from Jeff Bezos the billionaire with wild extremist expansion to A.O.C.’s socialist Green New Deal to dole the people with social security and Medicare for everyone while jets are grounded and global warming remedies are forced on the nation while the rest of the world issues compensating carbon dioxide flatus in wonder.

The time frame for correcting the world’s ecosphere decline is presently ticking away. A U.N. report says a million species are threatened with extinction. Wall Street doesn’t understand the web of life and how one species supports another and actually creates a livable ecosphere. For the business people the birds and bees are nice childhood stories to inform youth on how to advance to sex, automobiles, rectilinear homes, shag carpets, social organizations and adulthood watching football. Correcting human ecospheric destruction affects that are inherent in the Human Economic Structure is beyond the ken (nel) of human social reality.

Human Economic Structure engineering is required to correct the most ancient models for human development of exploiting the environment to benefit humanity. Humanity was given the task by God of mastering the ecosphere and its wildlife rather than simple consuming it as bacteria. The H.E.S. need account for rebuilding the ecosphere and its wild denizens as well as using it for human convenience. It is as if humanity not only need enjoy the natural lawn, they need also mow, fertilize and water it.

The Earth presently has a human population of more than seven and a half billion people, and that number is sufficient to have put human survival- or at least ecospheric survival- on a negative growth trajectory. If one were to chart the ecospheric health on a graph, the ecospheric health would be inversely reflecting human population increase. That need be corrected. Human growth should stabilize yet even so the ecospheric decline need be reversed.

The Von Bezos plan for lunatic human expansion in the solar system is the traditional bacterial model of growth overcoming its growth medium. It is a reckless expansion model putting human existence into dangerous and unnecessary volatile and vulnerable condition on the edge of destruction. Moderation is what is required for human development; enlightened moderation with an advanced Human Economic System comprehensive of human economic impact on a given ecosphere.

Consuming the Earth to exhaustion before consuming the solar system to exhaustion is a bacterial business plan rather than human. Humans are about intellect differentiating them from beasts, not larger parts. A human bacterial model of exhausting Earth then exhausting the solar system before seeking new star systems to exhaust is daft and dangerous. Evolution works through natural selection. There are more losers than winners in natural selection. Formerly there were dozens of human like primates and now just one remains. The prospects of just one species representative surviving numerous environmental challenges are very poor. It is better to avoid brinksmanship with just one species rep existing.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/05/10/jeff-bezoss-new-plans-space-have-stirred-up-old-fights-science-fiction/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.94889faa5c18

Human population in the solar system should never exceed 15 billion people more or less. Sticking 20 million on Mars, terraforming Venus, placing a billion in the outer solar system is probably enough. There is no urgent need to exhaust all of the resources of the solar system. Constructing human habitats in space might be convenient to place excess Earth population and a few billion more. And those people would need to visit Earth periodically- at least one year out of five, to maintain human physiological health in Earth-specific gravity and field conditions.

Humanity has grown within a particular gravitational field strength and shape-for gravity fields may perhaps alter in shape. Often people don’t realize how dependent human form is upon the particular gravitational field of the Earth. Without it the natural growth processes of a body are themselves akin to cancer. The relationships of the body’s parts to itself are formed with gravitational governance that when removed changes the entire structural logic- even the anus as the downward terminus of the digestive tract has no gravitational forms moving food waste downward. Excrement would be upwardly mobile-perhaps toward billionaire brains.

A future scenario for human development should have patience. Evolution is done in a day-or a year. A thousand years isn’t much for evolution’s pace. Human development and adaptation to the solar system should utilize several thousand years for reasonable continuity of human thought and sentience while intellectual and physical development continues.

Earth ecospheric systems probably should carry no more than one billion souls at a time with the remainder scattered about the solar system with no more than 15 billion living about it altogether. Women no longer wish to be baby factories once they are prosperous any way. Quality over quantity is important for human development and sustainability. Spiritual growth need occur though bacterial traits remain as in the Von Bezos paradigm.

In the book of Genesis God provided information concerning human origins. Simplistic readings were sufficient in previous generations. Today however with the rise of evolutionary biology and other sciences it is useful to understand the book with deeper insight. It is fundamentally incorporative of evolution directed by God within an unknown paradigm. Since God is omnipotent he has greater control of mass and energy than would a future quantum super-computer able to treat mass and energy as items as malleable as a holographic field created by the quantum super-computer.

Human future development needs to bring the Earth to ecospheric recovery while moderately developing human habitats around the solar system that one day would be able to support total solar system population of 15 billion with just one billion enjoying the Earth at any given time.

Shouldn't U.S.A. Increase Low-Income Housing in El Salvador

The United States apparently pays a lot for housing for illegal aliens in the United States. It might be a better investment to train El Salvadoran carpenters and to pour concrete dome homes and train builders for aluminum panel homes in El Salvador.

https://www.npr.org/2019/05/10/722173775/proposed-rule-could-evict-55-000-children-from-subsidized-housing H.U.D. proposes law to make it illegal allow illegal aliens in U.S. public housing

https://explorer.usaid.gov/cd/SLV  U.S. foreign aid

The U.S. spent 118 million dollars in foreign aid to El Salvador in a recent year, and the Wall requires billions.Training El Salvadoran security personnel in the United States and sending them back to guard neighborhoods in El Salvador might be worthwhile, as might solar panel installation and water purification.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/pentagon-approves-plan-to-shift-1-5b-for-wall-along-us-mexico-border

Plainly the U.S. government cannot reasonably break the law and pay for public housing for people that have criminally entered the United States. It can however build housing in nations that send hundreds of thousands of people here because of job, housing and security conditions in their home country.

It is necessary to remedy the problem of illegal entry with increased border security and improving the condition of the nations that send people north. They are two sides of the same coin of chaos and anomie.

Maybe N.A.S.A. Needs New Moon Lander Tech Systems

I saw an article stating that Congressional N.A.S.A. watchers say the space agency hasn't got a good moon landing plan and is 'scrambling'. It would be good to have the public lander system non-Bezos dependent. The billionaires have chemical rocket systems as if they were Werner Von Braun with a new thing. In fact N.A.S.A. has been lazy since the end of the Apollo missions as far as manned space goes.

https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/space/article/Congress-members-slam-NASA-for-lack-of-moon-13829547.php

I was lucky enough to get a reply letter from Senator John Glenn explaining that he wanted to fully fund the Space Station because there wasn't going to be a budget for other manned space stuff. I wanted N.A.S.A. to develop electromagnetic linear accelerators for off-Earth and off-moon shots. The technology looks very promising. Instead the navy is developing electromagnetic accelerator naval artillery- how useful to advance humanity!

Maybe there are other ways to get stuff on and off the Moon on the cheap. Creating an electromagnetic field mitt to catch landers dropped down from moon orbit. Sending a skyhook on a cable from the lunar surface to reel in orbital stuff. Some kind of combination electro-magnetic linear accelerator, electro-magnetic field and super-battery rechargeable system to throw moon to orbital modules up. Maybe lasers hitting reactive aft surfaces or particle beams from the moon hitting spacecraft ionized reactive surfaces?. There must be innumerable practical ways to combine various solar powered electronic lunar landing and exiting technologies that don't need chemical rocket tech that Robert Goddard and Von Braun invented or developed perhaps inspired by ancient Chinese.

Has N.A.S.A. lost its creative, inventive people to video games?

Where is Trump the Movie?

It is somewhat surprising to me that no one has written a screenplay for Trump the Movie. Trump the Movie should be a blockbuster; maybe the greatest box office in Hollywood history.

It would be a fiction movie inspired like a tragic-comedy version of Amadeus. Trump is a kind of Mozart of business-politics attacked by jealous Salieri-like Democrat party hacks interminably, for years. The Democrat party claims to be a Green New Deal- Jeff Bezos unlimited expansion to a trillion humans consuming the Solar System like locusts served by Amazon.galaxy. They hate the Mozart of political-economy figure for getting in their way.

Donald Trump perseveres against all odds domesticating squirrels that become guard dogs chirping to death any border violators seeking nuts and nougat. The President defends a good economy while false composers of falsehoods and fake news work with Aliens from someplace off-world to bust up the United States bad.

https://deadspin.com/the-vile-celtics-are-dead-and-im-so-happy-1834648874

https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/3k3kwb/jeff-bezos-is-a-post-earth-capitalist

President Trump could have a dream sequence where he is a Viking battling with just spoons and a git box, Huns, Mongols and pygmies attacking across the Potomac. Spoiler alert...the end hasn't been completed I would think, for the screenplay need be made into film during the Democrat national convention next year.

What is Wrong With the Democrat Party Today

Republicans ended the Cold War with Russia. Bill Clinton laid the foundation for restarting it. Wresting Ukraine and Crimea away from Russia with the leverage of U.S. military power was never a good idea, and one that doomed the peace. Republicans sought to do business with Russia while the Democrat party began to hate Russia for not being communist. The Democrat Party is a party of global socialism and communism. Their work is to weaken United States border security and succor any foreign socialist-communist and corporatist movement.

The Democrats are a loose party of hegemonistic idiots lacking good sense. The deep state element of Demo-Republican insiders continue the legacy of stupidity and lunatic expansionism-even off world, without moderation at all. It is a party of brinksmanship- politically and environmentally, without stability or right reason. They destroy conservation of human and ecospheric rights in pursuit of godless ideologies.

Biblical Scripture is Edifying

Scripture is edifying and enlightening. John Calvin wrote a paper on every book of the Bible except the Revelation and cited scripture in thousands of sermons. Sermons may be built around explaining what the biblos (little books) mean.

Romans 8-28 “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”

I found a free on-line course from the Univ of Geneva on John Calvin. He was a founder of the reformed movement who lived a little before the King James version was published. The course is in French with English subtitles and is very informative.

https://www.coursera.org/learn/calvin

Calvin is a good roll model for Christian for his focus on scripture. One of the books he wrote was on the Gospel according to John. It is a brilliant work and is free to download as a pdf file here…

https://archive.org/details/commentaryongosp01calvuoft/page/20

Calvin writes that God’s language in the Bible is accommodating to human beings and has a pedagogical character too. It is rather surprising in being illuminating as it is. The course instructors point out that Calvin wrote before modernism or its reaction-fundamentalism- existed. He wasn’t compelled to choose what sort of way to interpret the Bible as might moderns.

I hadn't heard of that before. It wasn't created by John Calvin. The idea of duty not being requisite- a deontological inference perhaps scripturally based- to be saved through belief on Christ- gets a bit convoluted and drifts away from dogmatics (Barthian). Calvin got involved in the persecution and execution by the town council of one Spanish heretic named Servetus- he was burned at the stake. So it could be that some people have formed a generalized movement about the concept of hyper-Calvinism as something like inquisition-level beliefs. Servetus if I recall, was somewhat like the Arians in denying the trinity aspect of God. The political problems of Geneva in separating from the Duke of Savoy's power as well as that of the Catholic Church (the Smalcaldian war following Luther for example-illustrates the volatility of the era and challenge for scholars and reformers in taking true yet neutral lines if possible instead of being politically charged. Giordano Bruno was a student at Calvin's Academy in Geneva- that is irony and should show scientists that use Bruno as an example of persecution by Christians that there is more than meets the eye to history.

Calvin died of natural causes in bed at age 55 in Geneva. The town council of Geneva burned to death a Spaniard named Servetus, who was a free scholar rather than a representative member of the Catholic Church of the day. The triune character of God (the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit- three personalities of one true God- is/are Biblical. Numerous mentions of it can be found in the synoptic gospel. Constantine was Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire and famously converted to Christ before a battle. He made Christianity the official state religion of the Eastern Empire. In a sense he was the secular founder of the Orthodox Church. There were later theological scuffles about about the trinity in that era assuredly, yet valid exegesis and reasoning made the facts plain as it was in the time when Christ said to his disciples.

John 14:9-11 King James Version (KJV)

“9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?

10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works."

I am not an economist. Even so I will share some thoughts regarding inflation. Consider money supply. The 1% have a lot of money. More than 50 million Americans have less than one-half of one percent of the national income. The rich own the media, Wall Street and have appointees in the Federal Reserve, U.S. Treasury, Too Big to Fail Banks and the International Monetary Fund; they control money supply. Inflation can be generated whenever they deem it useful for political control or to influence political opinion. Their tight or easy money policies can increase or reduce inflation too (including domestic investment).

The Big Banks were loaned trillions at zero % interest after the 2008–9 derivatives and banking crash. For each dollar loaned to them and held they could loan out five electronic dollars created from nothing. In effect the big banks could electronically mint their own money by the trillions. The poor on the other hand, encounter prices with their 1/2 of 1% national income that fluctuate a little-really a very tiny fraction of the total national money supply, and the corporate owned media sensationalize that to spin it whatever way is required to gain the desired political control.

The political economy of uncreative citizens with a lot of money led by politicians that are uncreative too- and seek primarily to expand government to neo-socialism is ponderous. Without a physical commodity like gold to base the value of a dollar on, and the value of a dollar tied to physical capital infrastructure, production and good will, the role of foreign and domestic investment on the value of a dollar is substantial. It is worthwhile for those seeking to expand medicare for all to consider the problematic relation of the dollar to good will and expansion. Providing health service from the government directly to the nation’s poor through an expanded V.A. and Homeless care network would reduce its exposure to inflation by the trillions.

International investment and production policy matters tremendously concerning inflation. Consider the Tesla for example. Warren Buffet recently spoke critically of Tesla. Warren Buffet is invested in a Chinese electric car manufacturer; a rival. They will want to export Chinese electric cars to the United States (I believe one plans to do so next year). The cost of electric cars in the United States, and of Tesla in particular, will be impacted by the foreign trade and tariff policies of the United States and China. Elon Musk is incidentally building a very large Tesla factory in China- and I suppose the Chinese will want to own half, or 51% as they have required before a foreign corporation may establish in China.

Wal-mart claims to pay its employees 2x the national minimum wage of the United States while managers average $175,000 annually. One might buy canned corn sometimes for thirty cents.Poor Americans might buy some items cheaply and stretch their 1/2 of 1% far enough to live, while the prosperous and rich have more capital to buy into foreign nations and install profit making infrastructure. The rich get richer and the poor are more concerned about inflation in their little piece of the pie.

Plainly national and international policy including trade policies could be moderated in most circumstances for the rich to eat inflation rather than the poor. That’s just the way it is. Presently the poor are experiencing ecological inflationary policies too. The environment globally is paying for the rising cost by shrinkage. That is the environment pays the bill for unsustainable economic practice and can do so until it has had its ecobank reserves exhausted. Then the poor experience the ecological inflationary prices as toxic, crowded, over-heated, and paved.

What if the Global Economy Collapsed

There is not a single ecospherically sustainable economy on Earth so far as I know. Capitalism and communism too were built on expanding and exploiting limited natural resources. One million species presently are in danger of extinction because of human economic practices. I would guess that when the economy crash; really collapses such that it can’t be restarted, a couple of billion human lives will be lost.

I would be happier if there was at least one political party that understood what ecological economics is and tried to gradually transition the U.S. economy to that basis. One would want to keep free enterprise because of the creative leadership of individuals that simply doesn’t arise from bureaucracies or politicians. I have suggested that the House form some kind of permanent committee to study the problem of ecological economic transition nationally- it is much more than global warming remedies that are needed, yet so far no spark of interest has appeared with Democrats where it should.

In my opinion a mad scrambling for survival on a scale never before seen would happen if food supplies globally collapsed. A green new deal won’t transition the nation to ecological economics; it is focused on fixing just atmospheric heating from CO2 and is politically untenable.

With a possible limit to public debt- nearly a trillion annually goes to pay interest on the debt, there is a possibility of a catastrophic transition when investors flee abroad leaving the poor holding the bag on a defaulted economy. The Bubonic plagues of European history killed off 2/3rds of the population of that sub-continent. It is easy to imagine modern biological wars doing much worse after the global economic collapse.

To transition to an ecological economic foundation there would need to be regulations for favoring green synergy leading businesses. Environmental restoration would need public prioritization- perhaps people would need to have different zoning that would build hollow mountain ranges for people to live within while letting the wildlife recover outside. Electronic mass transit designed to go above and below ground. A limit on the amount of capital one could concentrate, a limit on the number of corporations one could invest in (3), a reduction of the term for patent exclusivity to three years with the inventor getting 10% royalties from any using the patent after it becomes public domain; there are innumerable changes required to make capitalism and free enterprise work to restore the world ecosphere so far as possible while advancing the quality of human life at the same time. That would not be easy, yet no party is really trying either.

It is necessary to defend freedom for humanity and individuals against the numerous totalitarian oppressors that will exploit economic or environmental collapse to try to force some kind of dictatorship over the masses-even a dictatorship of the proletariat would be onerous and offensive.

Unfortunately Democrats have taken the time of concern about the ecosphere to divide the people as much as they can. Some believe they would appreciate collapsing just the U.S. Government in order to impose the North American portion of global socialism under a planetary junta of communist-socialist leaders. Those people seem rather extreme.
