War Powers Resolution Green Lights War on Iran

The 1973 War Powers Resolution allows a President to war on a nation with his sole executive authority for 60 days plus 30 days more for withdrawal. After that if the president and his military people have bungled the job and require more time Congressional authorization is required. I only point out the obvious fact since the media seems to want to obfuscate the plain legal facts of life that President Clinton and Obama have used for war in Bosnia and Libya.

Why a solid strike against Iranian targets requires more than 3 or 4 days is not plain. President Reagan made a couple of strikes against Libya that were effective as a deterrent. Punitive military strikes to discourage further opposition force aggression can be effective. Nothing is certain. Bunker-busting tiny nuclear ground-penetrating devices may be necessary to destroy Iranian enrichment facilities.

 If President Trump is a peace monger that perceived weakness can encourage Iranian aggression such as may have occurred with the downing of a drone recently. The drone attack followed President Trump's statement that the Iranian issue is a minor conflict; apparently they want him to regard it as substantive.

USA Ranks 21st Least Corrupt Nation on the Planet

Of 180 nations the United States is listed as the 21st least corrupt nation.

Corruption Perceptions Index - Wikipedia

The top twenty nations may regard the United States differently because of the Democrat Party's corruption of the elections validity for the office of President in so much as they have never really accepted the results and sought to overturn the result since 2016 through the Mueller Investigation and interminable adverse relations with the President.

The politics of the top 20 nations are complex. I suppose they all jockey for advantages and get jiggy with laws and regulations to advantage this sector or that of their population versus the other nations.

Denmark is the least corruption nation today. Apparently they took to heart Hamlet’s remark about something being rotten in Denmark.

Reparations Debate is a Good Way for Democrat's to Play Race Card

The reparations debate sponsored  by the Democrat Party is an excellent way to play the race card for the 2020 election. Motivating the black base to get out and vote for reparations and to get rid of the white man from Congress is a solid Democrat party tactic.

There are 37 million non-Hispanic blacks in the U.S.A.  If each were given just $20,000 that would add up to 740 billion dollars.

In order to make sure that all of the blacks given the reparation were descendants of slaves owned in the confederate states all American blacks would need to have a genetic test. The genetic record would need to verify that each black was legitimately eligible for a reparation to restore his or her standard of living to that such as he or she would have had if their ancestor had not been captured and sent in to slavery and instead had remained in Africa.

A census would need to be made to determine how many people living in the United States are U.S. citizens and if they are black and if they have ancestors that were slaves in the Confederate states in order to prepare a tax increase especially to pay for the reparation. Without a tax increase three quarters of a trillion dollars would need to be added to the U.S. public debt and the interest payments alone would add tens of trillions more.

A special reparations tax increase of 90% on the most rich for just a few years would be able to finance the reparation. Maybe blacks should have a minimum threshold of genetic material inherited from an ancestor that was a slave to qualify for the reparation as Indian tribes sometimes have in order to qualify as a member of the tribe- perhaps 25% or more, otherwise white people with 5% or 1% genetic material from slaves will qualify for the reparation too driving up the number of claimants for reparation.

Radical Centrists Undermine Ecological Economics

Radical centrists undermine transitional ecological economics in the United States. When incompetents on the far left and right hold political sway there isn't a neccesity that moderates are spot on; in fact the moderate, centrist position between two incompetent extremes may be even more incompetent, silly, and base.

The broadcast media has journeyed so far to the post-socialist left that it is preponderantly left-corporatist. That media portrays moderates as being tolerant of hegemonist, worldly, global sin politics and ecological exploitation replete with homosexual marriage. Neither party encompasses ecological economics as a transitional center of effort of the United States; their moderation is extremist.

Time to Draft the Trump E-Dollar

With Facebook's plan to launch its own global e-dollar named the Libra it is likely that Gresham's law slightly modified of bad money following good will promulgate a host of e-currencies. China may seek to establish an electronic yuan. Plainly the United States should not sit on its hands and might consider the dragon realm and what tool would best combat it. That device could be the Trump e-dollar.

Facebook's new digital currency is interesting and has vast radical centrist potential to become a global currency useful for terrorists and others seeking to circumvent national laws on trafficking finance. One might wonder if the digital currency is consistent with the principles of exclusive fiat to mint dollars the United States has had for more than a century.

Private currencies may give far too much power to global corporate elitists than has ever existed. It may confer advantages for dodging national taxes with very tricky transnational accounting rather easily for on-line businesses. It may accelerate political corruption in as many as 180 nations.

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

https://techcrunch.com/2019/06/19/libra-currently-looks-more-like-a-fiat-currency-than-a-cryptocurrency/

Presently the United States permits digital currencies perhaps without limit to number. The U.S. Government itself might want to get into the digital currency business to assure uniformity in transactions. If billions or trillions of dollars were to be tied up in Libra currency for example, that would very likely have transnational political consequences and changes as well. The administration and Congress might want to consider how they should react to the subversive issue before it grows very large.

It was inevitable that some wag in the corporate world would seek to have its own global currency to scythe a profit from all of the working people. It seems equally likely that eventually some government would want to expropriate that planetary infrastructure.

If the United States issues its own global cryto-fiat-e-currency it should be named The Trump.

Dred Scott Decision Shows Fallability of SCOTUS' Reliance on Precedence

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas showed some common sense in offering the opinion that the Court should overturn bad decisions and not just obey like Pavlov's dogs, precedence. As an African-American and jurist Clarence Thomas wouldn't have to think for a moment before being aware of how bad the Dred Scott and Plessy vs. Ferguson decisions were. The Court ignored those bad precedents and overturned them.

Some leftists in their hatred of all things conservative forget the past too conveniently for the value of attacking today.

The U.S. Economy is Better Now Than in 2015-2016

The economy is much better than it was three years or four years ago. The nation is in the midst of a continuing expansion- one of the longest periods without a recession in U.S. history. Public debt is great, yet some economists dismiss that. Others regard it as threatening.

The $22 Trillion U.S. Debt: Which President Contributed the Most

Bureau of Labor Statistics Data U.S. Unemployment Rate

https://tradingeconomics.com/uni...

President Trump is reducing the rate of growth of the annual federal budget debt. Not enough of course. Public debt as a percent of the national income should be less than 40%. President Obama saw the debt percent rise from 62% in 2008 to more than 100% before leaving office. Presently it is around 104%.

See How the U.S. Debt Tripled Since 9/11

People have confidence in President Trumps economic capacity to lead in national economic policy so far as the executive branch can. The marginal unemployment rate of 3.6% is good for those that have most difficulty finding work. Even so there are numerous social challenges for the poor that exist structurally. Neither party is competent to repair that.

In addition to public debt there is the problem of the non-sustainable basis of the economy that continues to adversely exploit the ecosphere of the nation. Neither party understands ecological economics yet.

Another concern is the tremendous concentration of wealth that has developed in the nation since 1990. Wealth is as concentrated as it was in the Gilded Age at the start of the 20th century.

People are concerned that a Democrat President would run up the public debt even more and perhaps overload the system with trillions of dollars of additional borrowing to pay for medicare for everyone and so forth. Democrats may finally collapse the economy at least to the point of recession.

Socialism Isn't 'Emotionally Intelligent'

I.M.O. emotion is an evolutionary forerunner of intelligence. Animals feel things, people can reason about things. So emotionally intelligent as a phrase is rather meaningless. One might compare it to intelligent emotion to understand the problem. Socialism is a philosophy of government wherein people are something like prisoners ruled over by trustees or prison gangs. The U.S.S.R. was a reasonable example of socialism. It wasn’t an ideal society.

In primitive societies there is no government. There may be a tribal chief. Most men are warriors occupationally. People tend to have the same tools such as a knife. If another warrior admires the knife one gives it to him. It’s easy to make another and jealously is dangerous. That sort of society is quite unlike modern society. A more modern society might have the guy that makes admirable knives become a knife-manufacturing specialist. People will trade or barter goods for the excellent blades. The knife maker prospers more than the warriors. An exclusive blacksmith shop is required to keep dishonest tribespersons from stealing the excellent blades.

Private property and exclusive use of property are requisite for private enterprise. One cannot develop technology for oneself on the commons with people wandering in and out of clean rooms. Capitalism is not a form of government. Democracy is a form of government that usually allows free enterprise and capital building. Capital is material or intellectual property. It is possible for some individual or groups to concentrate so much capital they can end democracy and have a form of working government that benefits themselves more and better (i.e. plutocracy, oligarchy, dictatorship of the proletariat with exclusive, privileged party leadership)

Socialism is a form of government where everyone is a prole, is oppressed yet is slopped and has a place to live. Everyone is guaranteed their very own cell. Maybe it will have nice pictures in it- even a big screen t.v. with government approved programming.

Tactical War With Iran or Moon Base?

It the Trump administration decides to launch a tactical military strike on Iran for developing nuclear weapons, supporting terrorism and threatening Israel the cost may be rather high. N.A.S.A. reportedly requires 24 billion dollars to return Americans to the moon by 2024 and just a little high-tech conflict can be expensive.

President Obama's war on Libya- kind of a kinetic, stand-off affair, cost $2 billion dollars per day one source said. https://www.forbes.com/sites/beltway/2011/03

https://www.forbes.com/sites/beltway/2011/03/28/the-real-cost-of-u-s-in-libya-two-billion-dollars-per-day/#7b00a68a7b5f

Another source CNN - reported the war to oust the legal dictator of Libya cost about $2 billion altogether. Another report said the Iraq war and its peak cost about 3 billion dollars per week.

Iran has many good people. While the Republican Guards are fanatics, there are still a lot of good Iranian people. A war with Iran comparable to the Libyan venture should have modest goals of destroying the nuclear bomb building infrastructure, taking out the leadership of the military and government, and decimating the military aircraft vehicles and so forth after taking out air defense.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/what-lies-behind-rising-u-s-iran-tensions-11560776829

There isn't much of a need to occupy Iran. In fact the lesson Iran can learn from the policy interdiction can be that the military medicine might be repeated as needed if corrections are not made.

The entire potential conflict harms the N.A.S.A. lunar exploration budget and billions already are being borrowed from foreign governments to finance the federal budget deficit.

National Capital Concentration for the Rich Has Made U.S.A. a Peer of Haiti, Uganda and Turkmenistan

The state of capitalism in the United States- the growing inequality in the distribution of wealth that has brought the United States down to the level of Uganda, Haiti and Turkmenistan ( Gini coefficient - Wikipedia ) Countries ranked by GINI index (World Bank estimate). The shape of an economy always affects social conditions. The political economy of global plutocrats is different from a rural agrarian society for instance as the United States largely was before the end of the civil war (though urban manufacture continued to grow quickly). The Development of the Industrial United States (1870-1900)

The evolution of American capitalism following the end of the cold war and the end of Roosevelt-era high taxes on the rich, along with government debt of vast size has definitely changed the political economy. Both parties support corporatism and elements of socialism (e.g. bail-outs of General Motors and Big banks after the 2008 debacle. Fifty million Americans have about 1/2 of 1% of the national income. Student loan debts exceed a trillion dollars, ordinary housing prices average about a quarter of a million dollars, the national ecosystem is steadily being degraded and species extirpated, one party supports legal drugs, abortion, homosexual marriage and illegal immigration in order to build a majority of support on the foundation of vice. The broadcast media is owned by the rich and conditions the people toward consumption and daily hate of opposition party leaders while providing silly yellow tabloid issues to follow; these are signs of the times of the state of networked capitalism where a small percent of the people own or control most of the nation’s wealth and income.

Even so I would tend to support the opinion that original sin is the root cause of the nation’s social problems and corruption of the efficacy of capitalism for everyone that should serve everyone very well without dark areas of hidden poverty, oppression or ecospheric degradation.

Bootstrapping Production During Economic Collapse

There are innumerable forms of economic collapse. And there are counter-cyclical investments and businesses. During the Greek civil war there was, I recall, a fellow who had horded wheat before the collapse and sold bread for exorbitant prices during the collapse when people were starving. I believe he was later executed or punished in some way.

Bear markets have people that profit from them and even win ‘bets’ on the collapse of the economy. Short selling has made fortunes for good guessers. Even inflation can drive up real estate values- though one should keep in mind that real estate as capital is very small today in comparison to manufacturing and financial capital.

On a micro-economic basis I would think that bootstrapping production for-oneself might be useful as a safeguard against starvation. One might grow plants at home for food and the market, produce solar and wind power and find other simple items to manufacture that are necessary.

Why Cuba is More Separated than China from U.S. Economics

Cuba is a communist nation just 80 miles from the United States. Normalizing relations would allow its agents to work misanthropic acts in the United Sates. So the controls are a prophylaxis against communist subversion. China on the other hand is at a distance and too large to ignore. It is relatively harmless to ignore Cuba since it has little military or economic power, yet China with 1.3 billion people and a large nuclear weapons arsenal cannot be safely ignored.

Chinese Communism is one of two vast political threats to political and spiritual freedom remaining on the planet (the other is Muhammadism). With the end of the former Soviet Union Communist China presented the greatest challenge to free people in the political ideological battle between free people and government authoritarianism.

Communist Chinese leadership had begun moving toward limited free markets following the Nixon administration beginning at normalizing relations in order to move beyond the Vietnam War era paradigm with the Soviet Union investing in S.E. Asian and global political military intervention through arms supplies and military advisers. There may have been a divide and conquer element to the Kissinger-Nixon method since China and Russia had a certain mutual belligerency over Siberian-Chinese borders and leadership of the communist world.

At any rate the Chinese naturally moved toward limited free markets and relationship with the west over time because the free markets of free individuals is far more dynamic and productive than government owned and directed economics. China has other issues than those of political philosophy however; it has so many people that government discipline is required to keep the population from exploding and chaotic civil wars from breaking out- dynamic wars more of non-ideological demographics and economics rather than pure theory. It may be illuminated by saying China is like a tinder-dry barn full of hay and gasoline in barrels that requires government repression to keep fire from breaking out. A socialist-capitalist fight with light sabers in the barn wouldn’t really be good for anyone in China.

The worst thing about neo-communist China with its repressive government is abortion and the one-child per family policy that has existed for decades. China would have 3 or 4 billion people without it fairly quickly. The world cannot imagine what that would do; it’s really not good to think about because of the possible famines and etc.
I guess China will need to evolve a political economy with the best situation for individual rights, the best ecospheric restoration it can manage and good virtual reality for entertainment; in fact a healthy ecosphere with lots of wildlife would be entertainment for so many people too.

Cuba is likely to be moderately separated from the United States until China is no longer a repressive authoritarian threat to its own people and the free world. There are a lot of American sailors that would like to be able to legally sail to Cuban marinas and return normally. Sadly that will have to wait perhaps until all of the southern ocean reefs perish, dead zones expand so there are no fish in the sea and the waters become far more acidic.

Capitalism is Misunderstood

Capital is nothing more than material goods of value. A horse is capital, for example. A building is capital- even the fish in the oceans are capital. The primary difference in kinds of capital are those existing in nature such as trees, fresh water, land, ice, air and those natural products with value added by human manufacturing.

Since even atoms are the electro-magnetic field and forces of nature are capital, it becomes rather silly to talk about capital-ism as if there is just one means of exploiting or producing capital. In the Bible book of Genesis God manufactures, issues or emanates all of the capital of the Universe in a few days or movements. Then mankind appeared and eventually Cain killed his brother Abel. 

Cain is regarded as the first metal-worker and Abel the first tiller of soil (farmer). Each were capitalists. I suppose even Gilligan enjoying the natural capital of a south sea island was a capitalist enjoying the fruits of God’s labor.

The individuals working manufacturing goods from atoms and etc such as computers (with silicone and other items including minerals) are the primary way that mankind manufactures products from natural materials increasing man-made capital. It is ironic that some of the manufacturing processes destroy or corrupt natural capital, or simply use it up to extinction.

Government is necessary in some cases to keep some powerful people or groups from building enough power to ‘own’ everything in the world. Even governments may try to own everything in the world. Individuals are the best inventors of idea-capital and manufacturable ideas and methods yet are usually weak at governance; there assertion to govern other people would be regarded as tyrannical and resisted by others. Governments too may be tyrannical, ineffective or corrupt as the case may be.

Government purpose in an efficient mode is to defend individual rights to own ideas and processes to manufacture. Government must also defend the ecosphere health and natural capital so individuals may continue to exist with health. Today the planet’s atmospheric carbon dioxide rate is more than 415 parts per million- that is worse than in has been since human beings came down from the trees and Adam and Eve’s kids merged in with them. The dynamic tension is fascinating; nations full of people that don’t understand basic political philosophy and regard libertarian versus socialism as dialectical approaches to capital. Even communist governments such as the former Soviet Union had capital and were capitalists plus socialists, in effect making the citizens slaves of the communist party leadership.

The real context is between free individuals within democracy with political and economic egalitarianism, socialist slave owners and oligarchs and plutocrats hiding behind ‘capitalism’.

USA Can Never Guard Mexico's Southern Border

If Mexico asked the U.S. Government to guard its southern border, that would be about the sole legal circumstance that could be justified for placing U.S. troops there, unless Mexico first attacked the United States, and the United States went to war with Mexico and sought to stop Guatemala, Belize, Venezuela etc. from sending troops to fight on the Mexican side.

If aggressive, hostile, human flesh-eating aliens debarked from ufo landing craft south of Mexico such as Martians in The War of the Worlds, and began slaughtering their way north, and were in sufficient numbers to be a concern for the United States, Democrats of Congress would debate for a few months sending special investigators and inhuman rights specialists to determine if the illegal Martian aliens were being treated properly and if the Trump administration should be impeached for showing a rude and disrespectful attitude toward the aliens.

A better choice for any U.S. administration that would like to guard Mexico’s southern border might be to cut a deal with Guatemala and Belize to provide free border protection for those nations in exchange for a couple of billion dollars worth of solar panels, agricultural tools, water purification, desalinization devices and so forth annually. Guatemala and Belize may wish to have border control and keep track of who goes north on an entirely legal basis. Coordinating with Mexican immigration officials, non-Mexicans might need an o.k. from Mexico to enter, and Mexico in turn would be accountable if the people they admitted continued on north to attempt illegal entry into the U.S.A.

Why There Isn't Really a Capitalist System

Capital may be regarded as material and intellectual goods of value. They are objects of a sort. There is no system of objects, nor capital. Capital objects just exist.

Some capital was manufactured by nature; the sun, the moon, the stars, oceans, land etc. People have added value to some natural capital, *manufacturing* things.

Manufacturing items for most of human history in Earth has been done best by individuals rather than bureaucracies. Individuals invent rather than collectives. Human collectives that are government tend to repress individualism and individual invention. Socialist governments tend toward expropriating all capital and objects for themselves, rather than inventing new manufactured items or inventions. They imagine employing and ossifying the private sector inventors and producers for themselves too. All of the capital both natural and manufactured are regarded as the property of bureaucrats in government who in theory allocate such as the masses need, to the masses.

Free enterprise is a good way of manufacturing capital. it is not such a good way at conserving, enhancing, defending or restoring natural capital. Authoritarian governments, if such existed, that understood what ecological economics are and were motivated to bring such into existence, might accomplish that better than a democracy. In fact they might restore the environment as quickly as an absolute monarch or dictator. That would be simply an exercise of power rather than the enactment of an ideal political system.

An ideal political system would protect and restore the world ecosphere to health or national parts of the world while simultaneously implementing an ecologically sustainable for the long run economy, within free enterprise democracy parameters. The paradox of a disciplined political economy protecting individual civil rights and ecological sustainability together is in practical terms difficult to get done.

Free enterprise invention creates new goods, products and services best. Government can protect and direct respiration of the environment best. Healthy and adequate manufactured and natural capital is what are requisite for a moderately egalitarian society with liberty and justice for all.

If Brits Told Pres Trump Demo Candidates Embezzled Money Is That Wrong?

If the British Government MI-5 agency told President Trump about criminal activities and American Presidential candidate perpetrated abroad, would that be wrong? Apparently several Democrat Party leaders and media think so.

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/448529-biden-trumps-comments-on-accepting-intel-from-foreign-entity-are-dead-wrong

If foreign governments or individuals have information about Democrat Party criminal activities who are they supposed to tell in the U.S. Government?  The President is the Executive branch of government so telling the F.B.I. or President is telling the President's chain of command. In fact the President is the right guy to tell about any criminal activities of Democratic Presidential candidates including foreign deposits to hidden bank accounts.

I suppose it would make no difference if the foreign intelligence source was from a friendly or usually adverse government except as regards the credibility of the account. If Dictator Kim Un reports that some Democratic candidate has unusually bad breath and conceals it with a foreign breath mint containing opium for instance, the report might need more scrutiny and special F.B.I. investigation for verification. Don't trust, yet verify.

If some Democrat Party candidates are members of dark web child exploitation sites and the news was discovered by foreign intelligence agencies should they send the pictures to wikileaks or President Trump. My guess is that the President is the right guy for the job of apprehending the perpetrators.

What is a Reformation of Capitalism?

Capitalism isn’t anything more than property that is owned; even if by a socialist government. It is possible to build capital and capital infrastructure in as many ways as human or natural processes exist. When stars burn and go nova they produce different capital elements. When it rains water capital flows on the land’s surface and produces rivers. When an individual imagines up an invention he or she has created intellectual capital that may be converted into material capital or an intellectual product such as an algorithm. Capital need not be reformed so much as human approaches to utilizing and creating capital do.

Government is supposed to protect public interests in a democracy. Government is an expression of concatenated individual self-interests. The public has an interest in protecting the common environment rather than degrading or destroying it. The public has an interest in protecting individual self-interests and the right of individuals to build their own capital; government should serve those interests. The government also has an interest in defending itself against powers and persons that would end its effective public functions.

It can sometimes become necessary to tax rich individuals punitively to destroy their acquisition of too much political power through concentration of capital that democracy and functions of government in carrying out its primary duties are undermined. Presently the over-acquisition of capital and political power that follows economic hegemony adversely impacts environmental defense and recovery. The over-concentration of wealthy has created an implicit economic bias against all of the citizens that are not in the very small minority of super-rich networked plutocrats; they have an uneven economic field to work in to try to build up their own capital quantitatively and qualitatively. It is even possible that developing political plans and economic modalities that are better suited to the ambient ecospheric and demographic elements is prevented for the majority as concentrated wealth networks pursue their narrow self-interest in building their own capital.

I would tax the upper 5 % of income earners in the nation at 70% and the upper 1% at 90%. It would be a good idea to reduce patent exclusivity to three years and allocate 10% of royalties to the inventor-patent holder thereafter. In order to develop a sustainable ecological economic infrastructure there should be incentives for creating low-entropy, sustainable economic developments.

Ecological zoning should be made to develop a no net loss of surface biota construction ethic.

In times past it was recognized that the state has an interest in assuring that its citizens can defend themselves and compete with state-of-the-art universal literacy and education. Public education at all levels should be free for citizens though private educational establishments should continue for-profit as well as non-profit. A basic universal right of citizens to have some sort of a minimum income and private storage and living unit to keep citizens from being caught in roiling abject poverty currents should exist in a demography saturated with surveillance, law enforcement and urban risks for the homeless. In the American past the wild frontier and cheap property values made basic existence simpler. Today the simple legal right to exist someplace and sleep may be so exclusive as to render otherwise law abiding citizens criminals simply for being alive.

Ideal

Ideas- such a platonic realism has- don't exist IMO- just nominalism in lexical ontologies- atoms have forms though, as does math, that are ideal.

God has all ideas and forms possible- and for God perhaps everything is possible except the finitude of possibility.
