Why 'Everyone' Expects a Market Crash in 2020

The impending financial crash of 2020 was determined by expert mathematical savants that added one to the number 2019, deducing that 2020 is next in the inevitable series of 2019 + 1. Plainly with just four months and change left in 2019 the odds are not so good for predicting a 2019 crash- hence the rigorous mathematical extrapolation from the loneliest set of trans-finite irrational numbers provides meat for subset analysis of the future leaving us with corrected 2020 vision.

Police Cars May Need Custom Paint Jobs for Race Relations

America's urban police cars may need custom paint jobs to promote race relations. Bland mono-color or bi-color cars remind too many of the 1980's, or maybe of the 1940s. Green dragon designs, glow in the dark marvel custom screeds, black panthers and purple people eaters; that may be the sort of thing that young people inclined toward racism and violence could find nauseating or inspiring alternatively.

A Spitfire fighter aircraft motif could be effective in El Paso, or possibly a Honker Goose for Yonkers could bring people out to throw cash at policemen instead of water.

Possible motifs- American flag, desert taco, camouflage (six varieties), clouds, burglar, Texas steer with bull horns, Chuck Norris, Stephen King special, Mae West, Red Neck Special, The Jango, Martha Washington Cherry Pie, Chessboard, Black Stone and Apes 2001, Twin Towers Commemorative, Solar System, Dwight Eisenhower, commercial advertising etc.

The Democrat Party is racist. It is not pro-American and about strengthening Americans, its borders and the people that live here. It is anti-white, pro-illegal alien invasion and racist. Its political methods are racist. It opposes traditional American symbols. Civic law enforcement agencies should not be flat-footed inside-line defenders against all of the corrupt swill inertia of the Democrat Party and Hollywood. They should modernize and upgrade to contemporary semiotic symbolic representations- good artwork paint jobs to convey pro-American values for-themselves.

Reality and Platonic Realism

It's worth recalling that Platonic realism is idealism in a manner of speaking. Nominalism takes naive perception of reality for what it is. Reality's etymology is from real. The etymology of real is matter or thing. Reality simply means then, being, in contrast to non-being. Platonic realism has a world-spirit providing structure for everything that exists from a realm of forms. It is as if God ordered the Intelligence to provide structure and form for everything. An example might be the design of parameters of the Universe that are constants- fine tuned constants, that enabled molecules and atomic structure to exist in standard forms. Berkelyan ideaism differs from Hegel's- it has a more existentialist sense about it. There is no 'outside world' Humans exist in-the-Universe and interpret the forces encountered in similar ways. People interpret light-waves of the electro-magnetic spectrum as colors, shapes, motion etc. Marx's ideas are so silly regarding anything besides sociological observations, that they have paltry value metaphysics, physics or whatever. Dialectic-trielectic (CS Pierce)-ideas are synthetic constructions from numerous sources sometimes. etc.

Drunk Drivers Kill 10,000 People Annually; Mass Shooters About 70

Where is the outrage over drunk drivers that kill more than 10,000 Americans every year? Automobiles are killing machines in the hands of alcoholics and dope users. Mass shooters since the Obama administration average killing 50 to 100 Americans. For some reason an alcoholic crashing head on into a vehicle or crowd splattering bodies doesn't merit the same media sensationalism or calls to ban cars and trucks from U.S. highways.

Drunk drivers create mass casualties too. Sometimes they hit a van or run a truck into a school bus  killing more people than at the Wal-mart El Paso shooting. The media has an attitude about mass shooters and guns that it lacks with drunk drivers. They want to ban guns. Remember though, When bottles are banned only babies will have bottles. Guns defend free societies against elite media, apparachiks and rulers that disarm citizens.

Nearly 500 criminal aliens are arrested for homicide each year in the U.S.A. They are a far greater threat to Americans than mass shooters. The media attacks the President and calls for gun control over 50 to 100 people killed annually by mass shooters, and those are an order of magnitude smaller than the murders illegal aliens commit. The American media and Democrat Presidential candidates are ostrich-sloths on the issue.

Time published a chart of the history of mass killings in the United States the past 37 years. Notably, Democrat President Clinton and Obama were drivers for increasing mass shootings in the U.S.A.

Before President Clinton mass shooting numbers were small- usually in the single digits. During the last year of the Clinton administration that number jumped an order of magnitude to 57. President G,W. Bush saw a rapid decrease in mass shootings back to the traditional single digits- and then President Obama took office.

President Obama had several years with large numbers of mass killings; more than 50. His final year in office had 71 fatalities from mass shootings. President Trump has had to grapple with that number himself. That number is about the new normal, except for the year of the Las Vegas shooting when 117 people died under the gun.

https://garycgibson.blogspot.com/2019/05/president-obamas-race-legacy.html

Plainly the Congress needs to take action to stop the mass shootings. More people die in one day from automobile accidents that a few years of mass shootings, and something should be done about that too. Congress should build the wall, keep new illegal migrants out and compel law abiding migrants only to be the rule. Society need have a chance to stabilize, eliminate poverty and increase education and ecospheric health.

Drunk drivers continue to slaughter innocent Americans, yet Democrats haven't sought to ban cars. Why not more outrage about the mass casualties that do occur now and then?

Seventy-Thousand Americans die from drug over-doses each year-nearly 2000 each day. Fewer than hundred Americans die in mass shooting annually; Democrats hate on soft targets that would disarm Americans and make them hapless cattle for rich socialists.

What can be done is to stop electing Democrat Presidents, for they are catalysts of hate and violence.

With fewer than 100 people killed from mass shootings annually as the new normal for the U.S.A., the risk of disarming citizens taking that path that leads to the vulnerability of 320 million people instead of 100 is a greater danger. Complete arms control has been the normal state of affairs for dictatorships such as exists in communist countries and socialist dictatorships such as that of NAZI Germany.

About 1000 people are killed every day in U.S. automobile accidents. Those deaths are preventable with state of the art, innovative mass transit networks, yet for convenience people choose not to care. The media sensationalize the deaths of 70 to 100 Americans annually because it makes good news headlines. There is risk involved in both automobiles and gun ownership. Guns however serve a real purpose of keeping society free from oppressive criminals. Guns don't create global warming- automobiles do.

Desalinate Seawater and Make Electricity with Geothermal Power in Alaska

Shouldn't the politicians be organizing the construction of geothermal power units in Juneau and Wrangell to produce electricity from saltwater and make freshwater (especially at Wrangell)? If the cities made their own electricity they could save a lot annually and for Juneau, finally build an electric light rail down Egan Drive and old glacier hwy to the Valley.

As for the terrible Canadian destruction of fishing quality in Alaskan Rivers that continue into Canada- what realistically can be done with such people that value metal extraction over water and wilderness quality?

Mass Shootings and Illegal Aliens Drive Democrat Agenda for Nazi-Style Gun Control

Democrats could easily fund wall construction to halt illegal alien migration to the U.S.A. They don't want to though. Like the Nazis they seek gun control over all the people to enable their socialist agenda.

Mass shootings help frighten the populace into support for banning weapons. Accusations of racism of white political leaders is a prophylaxis against politicians working to halt illegal immigration. Vladimir Ilyich Lenin could not have devised a more practical political plan for driving his agenda forward.

Mass shootings were roughly the same during the Obama administration, although there were a pair of good years mixed in with fewer than a couple dozen killed. Except for the Las Vegas shooting the Trump administration's first term is about the same or lower than the Obama administration's last term.

https://time.com/4965022/deadliest-mass-shooting-us-history/

The Obama administration stirred up racial strife with tacit support for the Black Lives Matter movement.

Gun control in Nazi Germany helped implement the Nazi policy of exterminating Jews. With pervasive social disarmament, groups targeted for elimination by the 3rd Reich had few weapons for self-defense. A book was written on the topic of Nazi gun control. It is named Gun Control in the Third Reich.

http://www.independent.org/guncontrol/

https://mises.org/library/gun-control-nazi-germany

Democrats like to politicize mass shootings by lunatics in the U.S.A. in their effort to disarm all U.S. citizens to render them subject to bureaucratic dicaturs. Good politicians work to actually understand and fix problems facing their constituency. Democrats alternatively work for foreign interests as enemies of the United States seemingly.

Poncho Villa

Democrats work to sustain the inflow of illegal migrants to the nation. That causes social dislocation in the U.S.A. and cultural problems that did not exist before. Democrats attack the administration for trying to halt the illegal entrant flow into the U.S.A. with a border barrier and increased security. 
Democrats won't fund wall construction and instead criticize the emergency detention facilities and seek to have lawyers appointed to represent poor illegal migrants that are arrested. In short, Democrats do nothing to repair and reverse the damage to the United States from illegal alien migrants and instead support the illegals as if doing things legally is wrong. Democrats collude with foreign entities and illegal aliens seeking to takeover the United States by the millions.

If Democrats continue to promote the flow of illegal aliens into the U.S.A. occasional conflicts and continuing political problems are very likely to continue. Democrats feel they benefit politically from the phenomena and have no interest in stopping it.

Statistically, with 320 million Americans and tens of millions of illegal aliens in the nation the infrequent mass shootings are statistically insignificant in comparison to the risk of millions being killed with a disarmed society, loss of national liberty and evils of a vast oppressive government such as existed in Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.

The El Paso Wal-mart shooting was a sad commentary on the way some youth respond to empirical political challenges. The El Paso Super-center has had some famous crimes before, such as disappearing kids, that Democrats don't sensationalize.

President Trump said of the weekend massacres; “The shooter in El Paso posted a manifesto online, consumed by racist hate. In one voice, our nation must condemn racism, bigotry and white supremacy.

The President's following statement could have been about the Democrat Party's attitude toward himself over the course of the hate Trump movement the past three years;

“These sinister ideologies must be defeated. Hate has no place in America. Hatred warps the mind, ravages the heart and devours the soul,”

While some Democrats would be happy with a Chinese style oppressive government, some Chinese lose their lives demonstrating for increased freedom. as in the statistically insignificant massacre at Tiananmen Square June 4 1989.

 El Paso and southwest Texas can be tough places; demoralizing places, for some white people to live. Some are affected worse than others in a kind of polar opposite to the northern darkness depression phenomenon. Mild retarded nerd syndrome may increase. Hot and desolate, full of counter-culture Spanglish-speaking Mexicans with a culture of crime nearby over the border. When I attended Ft. Bliss schools in 1989 there were numerous sensational crimes reported in the local paper. Human body parts were strewn on the freeway, a massacre at a bowling alley in Las Cruses and in the meanwhile hundreds of women were disappearing in Juarez adjoining El Paso.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_Cruces_bowling_alley_massacre 1990

Everyone knows that flooding a nation with a different race and culture is the cause of social anomie, chaos and disorder. Sympathetic elites do not experience the blunt end of racial displacement; they encourage it. Perhaps the U.S. Government should sue the Mexican government for the cost its illegally entering citizens bring to the United States, for each and every crime they have perpetrated in the U.S.A. and for the cost to federal, state and local governments.

A free society allows liberal gun ownership to defend freedom against the threat of bureaucratic dicature and purging of the gunless from life. Some collateral damage is a cost of freedom.

An interesting point for conjecture concerns the tens of millions of illegal aliens migrating to the U.S.A. during the Democrat Party era of jellyfish will toward comprehensive border security; what would be the consequence on world overpopulation in the future if the Latinos or Chinese become a racial majority in the U.S.A. illegally?

Latinos would be racially motivated to increase their numbers in order to have more political power in the United States perhaps driving the population to a billion in the 50 states. Chinese becoming a majority would copy that number and expand in Latin America too with another billion before conquering Africa with another billion. World population would reach 15 billion before tapering off next century more or less.

Just Search for the Spirit and Wrangell Pulp Fiction (free book download)

Farley Mowatt wrote a book about the Irish discovering America before the Vikings- who basically followed them across the North Atlantic as predators. The book was named; ‘The Farfarers- Before the Norse’.

The Farfarers: Before the Norse: Farley Mowat: 9781883642563: Amazon.com: Books

His idea was that there was a race of short, dark people- the Albs, who were perhaps from Malta originally and that migrated north and west to Portugal and Ireland before following fishing grounds across the North Atlantic. It is logical, for the Irish certainly inhabited Iceland before the Vikings. The Vikings slaughtered the Irish monks that lived there when they arrived. Leif Erickson was, I seem to recollect, an outlaw that was kicked out of Iceland for victimizing other Vikings that were colonists. Viking outlaws probably sailed west to found East Bygd and West Bygd Greenland before going farther west in pursuit of the Albs who had already exploited virgin fishing and hunting grounds.

I wrote a novella named ‘Just Search for the Spirit’ a year or two before Mowatt’s book, that had a journey from the Irish across the Atlantic and North America on their way to Hokaido following the 54th parallel north latitude- the same latitude as the oldest neolithic structure in the British Isles at Newgrange Ireland. Just Search for the Spirit, unlike Mowatt’s book, is primarily science fiction- combining some historically valid theory with time travel and politics.

The Sports of Chess and Crossword Puzzles

Names and claims in a somewhat decadent era creep through proprietary annexation to activities that upgrade the prestige of expropriators. Seventy-five years ago in the United States professions and professional activity referred generally to physicians, lawyers, teachers and those occupations with education wherein some professing of learning could be said to happen. Today that meaning is lost and one is a professional janitor, pro carpet installer, pro painter, telemarketer-politician (reading a computer script), burger-flipper at Burger King, pro athlete or anything else done for pay.

A sport might be said to be, for example, Afghan horseback football with a goat as the ball. Long ago quasi-rugby polo might have been a good training exercise for cavalrymen, while chess was a war game that modeled deployment and movement of pieces. In a decadent era where people live inside urban boxes with television and Internet and do not train as warriors for cavalry charges in the Rocky Mountains or wherever, arguments about the question of chess being a sport or a game arise instead. 

Trying to fit new activities into old name categories tends to corrupt the initial meaning of the category.  The appearance of new human activity such as automobile racing requires some description and classification so old, existing categories are used. A decision is made that the new activity is this or that. 

Automobile racing is a sport.Sport formerly was just a human activity, then machines were invented that allowed machine-augmented sport. Perhaps new names should be made to describe new activities- such as machine-sports or cyborg sports. What about machine-augmented leg-boots that permit humans to run a marathon is twenty minutes? Isn’t that a sport, yet not just a human sport?

And what of computer coding-isn’t it also a sport like chess? Or is that simply a profession in C+?

The Alaska Marine Highway (Ferry) Strike is Like Extortion of Organized Crime

The strike shows the philosophical problem with allowing labor unions into critical positions in government operations acting as organized crime. Unions originally were supposed to band together poor, underpaid workers against powerful private businesses and corporations for a living wage. In the Ferry worker's strike the union is attacking the small businesses and ordinary citizens that use the marine highway from a leveraged position operating a critical government marine highway. The extortion of the unions to leverage more money during the height of the summer work and travel/sales season and while the government is in the midst of a severe financial crisis is cause enough to get rid of the union from any critical government operations position that will directly, immediately harm the general public if it strikes.

Neither U.S. Party Wants to Change tThe Status Quo

There are all kinds of change a democracy can make. In reference to global ecosphere destruction, neither party really wants to change things much. Each support the Wall Street consumption-expansion ethos with the major difference being that democrats are racists, sexists, homophones and socialists while Republicans seek to concentrate wealth for the most rich.

Both parties support the repression of free speech of actual new and innovative ideas. Democrats control the major social media through homosexuals and other radicals that want to censor anything they believe is politically antipathetic. Republicans of course are Wall Street and admit what Democrats they need to for increased profit. The world may go to ruin but those that are rich will get richer. Democrats can at any rate keep flooding the nation with illegal aliens, develop socialist corporatism and end the U.S.A. transforming it to a globalist socialist-corporatist entity.

Progressives of the Democrat ilk are something more like regressive going back to quasi-Marxism as the fix-all for patching things. Reforming capitalism within Democracy and free enterprise paradigms can repair the ecosphere faster and more efficiently without piling up government debt; that needs direction though. Intelligence is required and lacking in both major parties because they lust for power and wealth in the existing way things are.

Between corporatism and communism the quest for wealth and increased consumption tends to doom the future of the world ecosphere. One imagines that some day in a century a world population of too many billions will just crash down to a billion more or less. Prospects for rational adaptation by society in general are improbable since the most greedy, avaristic kind of people have so many trillions invested in the existing way of doing things.

The green new deal was a socialist ply that addressed just global warming. That is a problem yet so is flooding the U.S.A. with cheap labor immigrants to help raise the population and consumption higher.

The United States facing challenges from enemies within and enemies without. N.A.T.O. is somewhat anachronistic and binds the U.S. to Europolitics too much. Meanwhile the ecosphere declines, population of humans increases and democracy and its advantage of a marketplace of ideas is buried under the power of Wall Street and Beijing's Grand Hall.

The Revelation of John- a comment

The Revelation of John of Patmos was written to Christians of the first century in a very difficult time with persecution past, present and ahead. John needed to code his writing a little because, for instance, if he had used Nero’s name instead of the Beast he would have been executed right away very likely instead of exiled to a prison island.

http://www.kennethgentry.com/beast-of-revelation-book-by-gentry/

Martin Luther said that the Revelation of John has ‘a lot of straw’ in it. That reference is to brick making I believe, wherein one may add filler to the brick that isn’t purely necessary.

My opinion is that the apocalypse occurred in the first century with Jesus crucified, the Christians scattered, Apostles such as James and Paul killed, Jerusalem destroyed. This is the era where the Kingdom of God is building up. That will continue until Jesus returns physically. 

https://www.amazon.com/Shall-Have-Dominion-Postmillennial-Eschatology/dp/0977851672

The events of the Revelation are not all complete for the Universe still continues obviously. Some people want to sell all sorts of pre-tribulation ideas in churches because it makes for good disaster scenarios and social irresponsibility for the condition of the world. It is something of a cult point of view that I don't share. The subject isn’t simple. 

Jesus will return to judge the quick and the dead. I have written something about eschatology in a book I made of a theology course I took. It is free to download. Page 38 and after has some material explaining something of my opinion.

Turkey Declares Enmity With U.S.A.- Boot it From N.A.T.O

Apparently Turkey's P.M. has declared the U.S. to be an enemy for supporting Israel. Turkey has plainly chosen Russia as it's arms supplier and military friend rather than N.A.T.O. The United States should sever diplomatic ties with Turkey and boot it from N.A.T.O.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/12/world/europe/turkey-russia-missiles.html

https://tass.com/economy/1070657 Russia-Turkey Joint Helicopter Production

Turkey is still something like the Ottoman Empire in its attitude toward other nations. It is also a Muslim state with fundamentalist tendencies. Plainly it is an enemy that should not be trusted. The only reason to allow Turkey in N.A.T.O. to start with was its opposition to Soviet Communism. Since Turkey has moved to the Russian side in support of Russian goals for Middle east hegemony through an expanded Sunni presence across the Middle East and North Africa in order to reassert an Ottoman Empire-like presence , that day has long passed. Turkey has long range goals that are in conflict with those of the United States, some of N.A.T.O. and free people lucky  enough to be free of Muslim government.

Actually N.A.T.O. has dubious reason for existence. With the Turkish defection to Russia's sphere of influence, the French neo-neutrality of an historical character during the Cold War, and the pacific and treacherous English stance, not to mention Western European nations that hate any sort of U.S. militarism, N.A.T.O. would be better phased out as a security threat to the United States.

Turkey may buy Russian S-35 fighter jets in the future. They are a very good aircraft. Besides not being a nation with homosexual marriage, Russia is a friend of China; Turkey can buy all the cheap things it needs from China to satisfy its consumers.

European nations should pay entirely for whatever defense they believe they need. Germany should have a chance to rearm and defend itself against Russia if it wants to. With a more active European role with Russia that does not involve the United States the relationship between Russia and Europe might work out better, equalizing to a sustainable balance.

Forming a coalition of the willing to counter global dangers might be more useful than being bogged down in the security leak that is N.A.T.O. If Europe again becomes a threat the United States can deal with that later. If countering Chinese expansion requires multi-state remedies again a coalition of the willing might be more effective.

Allowing Turkey to benefit from allied defense between Europe and the U.S.A. is a mistake. Turkey views the Middle East through Muslim eyes envisioning an Israel that does not exist. It would be far better if Turkey did not exist and Greece reclaimed Constantinople.

Turkey's purchase of Russian air defense missiles plainly was taken as it views N.A.T.O. and the U.S.A. as a threat to its power goals.

Israel is a permanent friend of the  United States. Russia should regard Israel as a friend as well, rather than Muslim states that one day may nuke Moscow in the hope to converting Russia to Islam. The administration in Washington D.C. is not too warlike; rectifying the relationship with Turkey may need to wait until a former General is elected to the White House.

It was a terrible time to strike, with the state budget already cut so far. I recall talking with a guy from the Philippines via Las Vegas who had arrived to work on a ferry- he asked for directions in Juneau. The marine 'highway' system has its own interests in mind rather than those of Alaskans.

The Marine Highway union barricade (strike) is equivalent to a state disaster affecting thousands of Americans. The blockage of an international highway should merit federal action to keep it open. It could even be regarded as worthy of FEMA relief management as a disaster caused by a Union.

Is it possible to get Coast Guard or naval reservists to run a few boats while the strike continues in order to not impact everyone's business? What about hiring a private firm to go from Ketchikan to Hollis and use the existing system to Northeast P.O.W. to Wrangell? If there was a permanent shuttle from Wrangell to Mitkov Island that would at least allow most of the southern half of S.E. to be accessible via land and boat.

Then a northern boat from Petersburg to Juneau to Sitka could circle, and a Juneau to Haines-Skagway. Three large boats and three shuttles; not too many to improvise crew for.

Probably there should be one boat to Kodiak from Whittier- so four large boat altogether.

Unions may coordinate with global socialists to do the most damage they can to the Alaska and U.S. economy. The ferry union has international connections. What if there is collusion with China or Canada?

Tighten Up Perfidious Canadian Border Crossings

Canada has fairly loose, importunate standards of immigration. Not that one should care what Canucks do implicitly- it is just that they comprosie a threat to U.S. security.

Canada is something of a shill for British policy initiatives such as homosexuality, drugs, imperialism and destruction of an independent United States. Not only should a wall be built that keeps illegal aliens out of the United States, it would be a good idea to tighten up Canadian entry into the United States in order to secure the back door to the U.S.A. that allows evil to enter from that vector.

Canada has been something of a tradition frenemie status that requires increased vigilance to defend against. Mapleville has very cheesy politics with  loony spin regarding the interests of democracy and ordinary Americans that still want a storage unit of their own free from international terror. Canada is an aloof critic that mocks Americans from a safe haven of incipient socialism.

Irresponsible Canadians media scum sometimes throw mud at Americans that support democracy and nationalism labeling us fascists. They condition their minions for sycophantic speech. No one that takes democracy seriously needs that. I hope the Pentagon has a plan for Canada in the event those neo-Communist imperialists go too far in support of transnational terrorism, evil and alignment with adverse foreign interests.

Rep Cumming's Maryland 7th Congressional District Got $16 Billion from Feds in 2018

Congressman Elijah Cumming's 7th Congressional District in Maryland got $16 billion dollars from the U.S. Government in 1018. That is not a small amount of money. One would think the condition of the 7th district is reasonably well known or the federal Government should not be spending so much upon it.

If there is much illegal drug use, and many derelict houses, garbage strewn about and unsafe streets that most Americans would be uncomfortable walking on after dark, that should be manifestly known to those that investigate the concern. The President is either correct or not in disparaging the home district of one of his most vociferous critics. 

If the district actually is in good repair with a low crime rate, and if the Congressman has brought spending to his district that catalyzed average national employment rates within it, if there are few visible areas with garbage strewn about and illegal drug use is not common then the President owes the Congressman and apology. If it is in a sorry state House Speaker and others owe the President and apology for calling him racist for pointing out the faults of the work of one of his major attackers presently, for he was only speaking the truth.

Foreign Aid is in the Interest of the United States Too

Foreign aid can be a very good thing if administered intelligently. Usually the U.S. Government hasn’t a surfeit of intelligence operating that is dedicated to public service so much as self-service. Funding the U.N. millennium program for example would have benefited much of the poorest regions of Africa, and the U.S. wouldn’t. So China’s financial loans for economic development to Africa have a larger effect, one that might not be much in African or U.S. interests.

Nature abhors a political vacuum. If the United States is so obsessive that it simply builds its own advantage or trades with poor foreign nations and their most powerful and sometimes corrupt political economic members, the development of those nations may not be sympathetic toward democracy and the United States. Good neighbors and friends are actually helpful in hard times. Some operations require community work although the issue is at a distance or over the border.

The Obama administration funded a host of rebel war movements across North Africa and the Middle East that continue to cause harm. That sort of foreign aid may please arms sellers but it can be counterproductive to long-range costs for American interests that need to spend more on defense and defrappe terrorist actions toward the United States. Building stable, peaceful societies rather than allowing nations to fall into non-democratic chaos of repression and or war is cost effective for taxpayers. That requires intelligent foreign aid- and that is the challenge isn’t it?

Another value for aid to foreign nations is in building infrastructure across the globe for ecologically sustainable economic infrastructures and methods of existence, Benefiting human health everywhere can be moved forward through construction of a reformed economic system that has as low of entropy and destruction of the environment as possible and that even recovers damaged planetary ecosystems. The value to Americans is that it will help sustain all life on Earth including people of the U.S.A. That requires substantial intelligence and leadership to accomplish. Foreign aid is a very small portion of the U.S. budget that can bring far more benefits in return than the initial cost.

If good sense and spirit is lacking in leadership, they should at the least consider the parable of the crooked steward from Luke 16;

“1 And he said also unto his disciples, There was a certain rich man, which had a steward; and the same was accused unto him that he had wasted his goods. 2 And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward. 3 Then the steward said within himself, What shall I do? for my lord taketh away from me the stewardship: I cannot dig; to beg I am ashamed. 4 I am resolved what to do, that, when I am put out of the stewardship, they may receive me into their houses. 5 So he called every one of his lord's debtors unto him, and said unto the first, How much owest thou unto my lord? 6 And he said, An hundred measures of oil. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and sit down quickly, and write fifty. 7 Then said he to another, And how much owest thou? And he said, An hundred measures of wheat. And he said unto him, Take thy bill, and write fourscore. 8 And the lord commended the unjust steward, because he had done wisely: for the children of this world are in their generation wiser than the children of light. 9 And I say unto you, Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when ye fail, they may receive you into everlasting habitations.

10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. 11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? 12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man's, who shall give you that which is your own? 13 No servant can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.”

Gel Concrete Blocks That Don't Dry Until Uncovered Could Be Useful for Desert Areas

Some kind of pre-formed gel concrete block in a plastic package that wouldn't harden until activated after being put in place- such as in a building foundation ditch, would be useful for construction in very dry areas without water.

Concrete dries with a chemical reaction rather than when exposed to air. Even so some chemist experimenter might have design concepts in mind that would make pre-formed wet concrete blocks available for production and sales in building supply stores.

Concrete blocks can have a high thermal mass. When  mostly solid they can collect solar energy and release it at night warming a building interior and cooling it during the day. With a few layer deep of concrete pre-formed blocks rising from the foundation simple desert buildings that are solid might be easier for individual home builders to piece together.

It might be desirable to be able to readily lock the pre-formed wet concrete block packages together in place to facilitate corner and multi-level installations.

While on the topic, it is worth mentioning that current methods of making concrete produce a substantial portion of human caused Co2 emissions. Redesigning the process to lower that percent could be useful too, synergistically.
