Democrat Party foreign and domestic policy may be the new face of fascism

 Germany led the world in developing fascism and corporatism as two heads of the coin of government while ordinary people and democracy got the tails. Government may unite business leadership generally with itself and serve its policy advantages rather than those of the masses including middle and lower classes. It may develop a great military power with technology to implement its foreign policy objectives of conquest for its financial advantage even if it involves puppet government. The question I have is did the United States choose to become a modern fascist power with President Clinton taking all of Ukraine from Russia without compensation of any sort, when Russia was weak, or did it blunder in that policy direction when it appeared that Russia was incapable of resistance?

Original sin’s punishment or correction was for humanity to be thrown into thermodynamic physics with the animals where they sought like all living creatures to input energy for growth. The Democrat Party seems to personify the urge to expand through corporatism backed up with extreme scientific and technological violence rather than develop cooperatively with Russia and China to develop good economic prospects simultaneously with a shift toward sustainable ecological rational economic policies that gets the most possible from the world’s declining natural resources and increasing population.

It is possible I suppose that Americans are to stupid or ignorant to comprehend the danger of Democrat Party foreign policy to the United States and world since 1994. If they are too stupid that is almost worse than if they are simply wicked in this case; wickedness might be corrected or eliminated while stupid is as stupid does and that’s about it.

During President Clinton’s administration the movie Dumb and Dumber was a hit. The present policy of war and alienating half of the world seems a development of the spirit of the age of the Clinton era- the zeitgeist.

I surveyed some of the many video games that youth have played like Call of Duty, Battlefield and so forth. Those games are tools for indoctrination. They have made Russia an enemy for a decade and have them attacking New York or plotting to end life on Earth. Aliens named The Covenant are the opposition force for Space Marines. Americans have been stuffed with entertaining non-sense for quite some time so perhaps it is no wonder they so readily acquiesce in wars that create mass poverty, death, pollution and waste the potential for productivity in opportunity cost for hundreds of millions of people. Not only is the energy crisis detrimental to Europe and the U.S.- it was entirely avoidable. Food costs are sky high thanks to the administration’s decision to pursue and fund war in Ukraine instead of finding a peaceful settlement that both Ukrainians and Russians could live with.

The world ecosphere is overstressed. Ecologists used to say that the world can only sustain life for two billion people as the resources are running down. That means that intelligent rather than stupid leadership need be elected nationally if quite of lot of potential suffering is to be de frapped, a priori. Media tend to support the universal corporate state and violence is regarded as just doing business- why worry? That paradigm falls below the level of intelligent political leadership quite substantially in my opinion.

Sect Haaland Bans Offensive Indian Place Names

 The Sect. of the Interior’s plan to erase the names of lakes and other sites offensive or derogatory to Indian or aboriginal women is well intentioned yet also creates a concern for historians. History and culture appreciate names that are stable and record the past. When the names are sanitized and given to titles the past tends to be lost. Eventually the historical footnote in some obscure record that the names were changed sometimes hundreds of years after will be lost. No one would know what culture had existed before erasure and that all hadn’t been as placid as Bucolic Buffalo might have imagined.

Democrats have been about the business of sanitizing culture and social media for some time. Language offensive to Democrat voters was labeled hate speech. One cannot use the word hate at many sites, as for instance, if one asks whom are the top ten most hated Democrat politicians in America, the word hate would be banned.

The Biden-Pelosi-Schumer-Shiff-Madler axis of hate for Donald Trump continues to erupt like Old Faithful geyser recurrently; interminably finding new legal paths to attack until erasing the former-President from history. It is unlikely that Yellowstone park will be renamed soon for it reflects the will of insiders of the capitol. Skiing at Squaw Valley may evolve to be associated with KKK conventioning of the make America a Great Society again sort of thing. One will not be able to say that Donald Duck squawks without it being a sort of slur on trans-gendered Democrats. It could be that billions of people actually squat to defecate as they lack porcelain thrones to sit on. I used such a toilet hole in the floor in Athens long ago for the hotel couldn’t afford thrones so I experienced dropping a load ten stories down a sewer pipe.

https://spectrumlocalnews.com/me/maine/news/2022/09/09/us-changes-names-of-places-with-racist-term-for-native-women

Language does evolve or permutate over history of course. Meaning values for words sometimes change too. The philosopher Saul Kripke went over the persistence of meanings of words in his book ‘Naming and Necessity’. Meanings of words have values in given lexicons that may have different meanings in others. W.V.O. Quine considered values of words to remain phenomenally as people use them. I believe, if I recall correctly, that Kripke regard words as having a semi-Platonic realism character with meanings that persist longer than in Quine’s criterion such as he went over in ‘Ontological Relativity’.

Words and implicit meanings change over time. It is interesting that words may have pejorative meanings for some that don’t exist for others. N.P.R. mentioned the term demotically nem-berm-ship for membership this mornings for example. That may be offensive to some, hate speech to others and meaningless for most. Try changing meaninglessness into meaning. The meaning will be lost to history if it doesn’t rise to become officially associated with a place-name. Place-names have meaning values that remain until some time after they are renamed.

Politically correct naming and renaming of places and solid objects reflect cultural power of insiders to designate real-world objects and events within their favorite narrative contexts. It would of course be great if people could name places inoffensively to all for all times in the first place yet for several reasons that fails. The Queen Charlotte islands could be renamed the Queen Elizabeth islands yer some would object and for God the effort of humans to lift up royalty might be amusing, as the Son was the only royal who counted as more than a bump in the road of history.

It is entirely imaginable that if Ukraine invades east of the Dniepr they might begin erasing Russian place-names in fact and erase history in the process. Washington D.C. insiders have already erased Russian historical ownership in Ukraine from their social reality that for-itself might be regarded as a lexicon. That lexicon requires Democrat supplied HIMARS missiles, artillery and billions and billions of dollars to force a social reality and view of themselves and their ideas of democracy.

Democrats may believe they can sanitize the planet such that the words allowed to be used and names allowed to exist for places and people will make the rich happy forever. They might envision a day when political independence and free expression are entirely subjugated to the will of Democrat Party leadership. Renaming lakes to not offend American Indian women is reasonable enough, yet that occurs in a machine that is processing the world to satisfy the urges of original sin for the upper classes. That technique of culture conquest can lead to widespread nuclear war. As looking in a rear view mirror may make objects look farther away than they are, the dangers of forgetting or losing the meaning-values of the past may allow clear and present dangers to the U.S.A. and world become closer than one thinks.

Next World Chess Champion will be Russian or Chinese

 Magnus Carlsen decised not to defend his title as World Classical Chess Championship this November setting the default stage for Ian Nepomniachtchi or Ding Liren to play for the title. Carlsen is the better player, yet like Bobby Fischer he has found some reason not to play; perhaps he wants to attend medical school or prepare for the next salmon season.

If Mr. Carlsen decides to continue with chess he may start a new league rival to FIDE comparable to the Saudi formation of a new chess league. A divded title did exist around the turn of the millenium and the former chapmion and alternative G.O.A.T. chess star Garry Kasparov was in it. Maybe the Saudis will finance a new chess tour to rival F.I.D.E., or not.

Labor Day Union of States

 Labor day is a celebration of the American worker. A day of rest and reflection upon the year’s tasks before the seasons ahead. The nation was built with yeoman farmers and workers’ self-employed individuals engaging in free enterprise. Ingenuity grew with so many proprietor hands-on farms and shops. When mass production grew workers became alienated from ownership as they became employees to manufacture product.

While slave labor developed much of the southern states economies and convict labor followed the end of slave labor continuing right up to the 1930s, northern and western workers faced their own challenges as laborers without ownership of manufactures. The labor union movement allowed workers to reduce some of their alienation from ownership inasmuch as they could negotiate a better wage collectively.

Labor unions during the American period of industrialization served to create a better life; a more fair wage scale in compensation for being alienated entirely from product and profit. In the post-industrial and post-Cold War 1.0 economy labor unions evolved into obsolescence as corporate management develop a variety of ways to cut the wages of labor to increase corporate profits, including making work part-time, contract, eliminating pensions and job security. Jobs with good wages were eliminated and outsourced to foreign countries with cheap labor including China. India now stands a the shining nation on a hill with potential for cheap corporate profits through exploitable labor.

Job security has been one of the primary ways that people with low wages can slowly save and build capital. Job terminations from any cause sever the build and compel workers to spend their savings and capital assets until exhausted. Cheap migrant labor has made casual labor hard to find for decades. Union labor supports Democrat Party policies that flooded the nation with annual millions of under-the-table workers. Union labor leaders have their heads up their asses, and have been so postured for decades.


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


For several weeks I worked for a corporation in a union that was owned and operated by corporate management. In a way U.S. labor unions are also owned by Wall Street as pets of the rich that can be tolerated yet haven’t any real clout. The schism between the structure of the national political economy and union leadership policy is so great that the interests of American workers are largely absent from union politics. Union labor leaders support policies that harm American workers.

The public tends to regard unions as being top-heavy toward government workers and others with above-average middle class wages. One thinks of the air-traffic controllers union, the screen actors union that Will Smith was kicked out of for slapping a guy making a joke about his wife, and broadcast media unions that enable broadcasters to have lavish lifestyles and use radio as an information intercom to persecute poor Americans if they feel like it. Unions seem to be part of a national insider caste system that work to exclude targeted Americans from economic security and prevent free enterprise beyond the domination of Wall Street and union lackey stooge hirelings.

For a nation too happy to pay $5 dollars for a cup of coffee with frappe on it it is logical that unions would form for coffee brewers and servers. Millions of poor Americans still have no health insurance. Millions of Americans still have no basic income of $10,000 a year. Tens of millions of Latino Americans are in the nation working illegally as an ad hoc union undermining the negotiating value of poor American citizens. That ad hoc Latino illegal worker union is also exploited. All workers in the U.S.A. should be lawful, pay taxes, have a guarantee of basic annual income from 18 to death, have benefit of a national medical service for the poor, homeless and yearning to breathe free with alternatives to N.P.R. and no internet access.

This Labor day the union of states; the United States- ought to be concerned with making all illegal workers lawful residents directly and sealing the border against future illegal immigration.

The Ten Commandments May Not Be Well Regarded by Democrat Party Leaders

 It’s useful to remind oneself of the Ten Commandments and the will of God occasionally. 

“And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, even ten commandments; and he wrote them upon two tables of stone.” -Deuteronomy 4:13

Jesus came to fulfill the law- not controvert it.

Paul commented on the difficulty he (and all people) have in limiting themselves behaviorally to the will of God in Romans 7:23 “But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.”

In these times when evolutionists believe that everything possible is continued within natural evolution and that it is without morality, and that attitude affects public morals and political choices, it is good to remember the Ten Commandments… Exodus chapter 20

“And God spake all these words, saying,

2I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

“3Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

4Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

5Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;

6And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.

7Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

8Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy.

9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work:

10But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:

11For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

12Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

13Thou shalt not kill.

14Thou shalt not commit adultery.

15Thou shalt not steal.

16Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

17Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbor's.”

Leading the people from bondage in a nation that was not their own was an historical event yet it also served as a prophetic metaphor of the work of The Lord in leading people from the bondage to sin that implicitly resides in natural mankind. Mankind is born in temporal thermodynamic, physical form that evolves from birth to death. The body dies yet the spirit need be reborn through faith in Jesus Christ to take up a trajectory different that that of mortal flesh.

John 3: 5-7 “5Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 6That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.”

Political leadership of the nation may support foreign wars that cause the death of tens or hundreds of thousands. They may not seek after peace and social progress eliminating poverty, restoring the environment to health and securing equal protection of the law for all. In effect they break the tenth commandment; “thou shalt not kill”. Mass murders and mass killings are not troubling for them apparently. They have have a nominal legal premise that permits stealing nations without compensation from native peoples. Life is a brief event for all. Eternity beckons all and is in fact the destiny of everyone; some to heaven and others without faith, to hell.

Though one bets one’s eternal spirit that there is no spirit, the ironic truth in that is that for those without faith they are spiritually dead.

People may make a straw man argument- a false alternative, that opposes evolution physics to faith and spirit. That is a false choice. It is quite feasible that God created the Universe with evolution as a mechanism in it, or that evolution is a temporal appearance of the steady state of quantum and there are deeper, transcending explanations for the way things are.

I examined a few of the issues and possibilities in my free to download e book named “God, Cosmology   and Nothingness”.

Drones Have Changed the Way War Works

 One might wonder if the Ukraine-Russian war is more than a testing ground for new weapons. The United States, Turkey and other N.A.T.O. countries have supplied copious weapons to Ukraine including combat drones and Multiple Launch Rocket Systems like HIMARS that have changed the way wars are conducted. Drones and other advanced tech combat systems are good business for manufactures so the war may alter the shape of global economics somewhat as China too makes drones for combat and sale and make seek to display its product line in the Ukraine conflict.

 https://www.scmp.com/news/china/military/article/3165186/could-chinas-new-combat-drone-be-rival-us-armys-grey-eagle

 The United States provides intelligence to Ukraine military with surveillance I suppose- even live from the Pentagon and viewing images of drones surveying battlefields and landscapes provides the remarkable transparence of cover to flying drones that enfilade (expose) locations of opposition force vehicles for targeting. Ukraine supplied Russia many drones that had control bugs; Russia presently hasn’t got the kind of air and targeting drone power that Ukraine has via N.A.T.O. providing a significant advantage to Ukraine’s military.

 Even so the Eastern front seems to be a modern quarter nation size trench war reminiscent of W.W. I with drones enabling a large scale quagmire that makes conventional advances challenging. Troop concentrations seem especially endangered with the live drone surveillance and instant attack capability of HIMARS from 50 miles away. The Chinese, American and Iranian economies may receive a boost from drone sales in protracted war in Ukraine, and other nations will be learning the values of drones and HIMARS technologies at de frapping invasions, counter-attacks or concentrations of troops or equipment.

 It would be a positive change if Professional Peace Contractors able to innovate salubrious settlements to armed conflicts were as common as Private Military Contractors. It is certain that the Biden administration and Democrats couldn’t accomplish the equivalent of fighting their way out of  a wet paper bad I the field of procuring peace and mutual prosperity for two rather similar belligerent peoples that will need to live together again for business and progress eventually. Democrats prefer conflict to progress, and may believe they are fighting a new style of civil war domestically, since the red states (Republican) are located in many of the former confederate states from long ago.

Lakers should stay cool and keep their powder dry

 The L.A. Lakers shouldn't try to find an instant winning player able to catapult them to a championship...that simply isn't going to happen. Russell Westbrook has one year to go on a fat contract and since he tended to fail to meet the expectations of those who engineered his trade and the Lakers are rather maxxed out on what the league allows a team to spend on player wages they need patience. Next year happens too and the Lakers need to keep all of their high. draft choices to get young quality players.

The Lakers have lots of entertaining players including Anthony and James so enjoying watching a good year without expecting a championship contender is reasonable. Seeking to trade away first and second round draft choices and pretty good back up players to get insufficient player quality in return is comparable to having a broken leg casted and taking it off too soon and rebreaking it...then keeping that up year after year,

A very talented manager can swindle a bad package for a good player sometimes. Smetimes it is necessary to wait. James and Anthony will still be around next year and this year some of the younger player might be developed looking ahead to building a complete team next year. Maybe the Lakers should have a two-year plan instead of a very short-sighted one year plan that need be done in a month.

Can Republicans Fulfill L.B.J.’s “Great Society” Dream?

 After not listening to President Biden’s partisan rave continuing the “I hate Donald Trump” narrative in a major speech from what was known as Independence Hall from the City of Brotherly Hate I have given some thought to the idea of making America a Great Society again as L.B.J. attempted in his major agenda programmatic effort to end poverty in the United States. Since then the Democrat Party has allowed the nation to be flooded with illegal workers that undermine the value of wage labor in the U.S.A. keeping many Americans living at or below poverty level Millions of illegal migrant workers also have provided a sub-class that can’t vote or pay taxes so Democrats can give stimulus checks to the rich and middle classes during times of crisis and leave the sub-class out. The underclass is a national labor caste that provides servants for the middle class like child care, house cleaning and construction at prices not quite as satisfying as slave labor. Democrat middle class employers of illegals of course don’t usually need to pay for housing or medical costs for the illegal labor caste either, as employers of slaves once did. That raises an interesting historical point for research though; what did Confederate slave owners do with retired black slaves; just work them until they dropped dead or was their some sort of retirement housing for them?

https://www.wsj.com/articles/biden-to-say-in-prime-time-address-democracy-is-at-stake-in-midterm-elections-11662048825

President Biden successfully took his tired self to his home state to make a partisan hack attack on Republicans, MAGA and former President Trump. Apparently gathering what I can from hear-say reports of the speech the President descried ultra plus vite extremist faster than a speeding bullet, insurrectionist revolutionary political opponents that don’t recognize that he won the election in 2020. So I am not sure what to think. Can Democrats controlling the house form another committee or two to investigate unAmerican activities by the most extreme reds and maybe purge them from government and Hollywood where they make movies like Full Metal Jacket, Magnum Force and Sudden Impact? Can Democrats make Congress a unicameral legislature with just themselves in it? What will happen to the nation if the narrative that Donald Trump is bad and a red collusionist with Vladimir Putin to overturn Democracy and make it fascist loses force? People wearing Nazi helmets on motorcycles and maybe in Honda Prius's make be increasing in number. I saw an Hispanic motorcyclist riding a chopper with a Nazi helmet a couple years ago, although it could have been a gray neo-U.S. armed services imitation helmet used to cover the ears so people won’t know if the rider is listening to N.P.R. with earbuds.

Since Democrats labeled Republicans ‘Reds’ when the Cold War 1.0 was ended by Republicans with help from the late last President of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev the time may be right for making America a great society again following in L.B.J.’s footsteps. L.B.J. it is sometimes thought, may have died of a broken heart from all of the combat casualties in Vietnam and ineffectiveness of his Great Society program at ending poverty in the United State. He wasn’t able to run for a second term as President. It is difficult to choose which dream is true; that of purging the nation of the Red menace and its insurrection that goes on forever like a myocardial infarction until the Democrat Party dominates everything for Wall Street in the name of Joe Biden, or one of the other dreams.

The American Dream, the Dream of Martin Luther King, Footprints in the Sand, Spill the Wine Dream, On the Threshold of a Dream, DACHA Dream, The Red Dream, Joe Biden’s boyhood dream visiting Independence hall of standing within it as President brilliantly speaking defending the nation against terrible Red threats to Democracy, Lao Tze's Dream of the Butterfly or Man Disjunctive Forced Option etc. present many choices; how can all dreams be real or validated? The House UnAmerican Activities investigation could impanel a Too Tell The Truth subcommittee to bring before it representatives of all the the dreams to determine which one is really real.

Republicans can Make America Great Again with extremist legislation of they can recapture the House. Maybe they could form an American activities committee to discover what happened to intelligent legislation and where it is being held hostage and determine what the cost will be to ransom it free? Poverty need be entirely eliminated along with the illegal worker caste. All people working in America need to be legal and receive equal rights. Stopping illegal immigration is required for that to occur, and everyone that has been in the United States for a year should be made a legal resident or leave. If the U.S.A. is not to evolve into being a Banana Republic without bananas it needs to be sovereign for-itself, in-itself with everyone above board on a legal sheet of music.

Zaporizhia Power was built by Soviet and Possibly Russian Engineers

 Just to get the facts straight; The Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station was built by the Soviet Union and perhaps Russian engineers between 1985 and 1989 and an extra unit was added by occupiers in 1995.  The non-nuclear Zaporizhzhia thermal power station was built between 1971 and 1977. Carpet-baggers gave it to Ukraine in 1994.

Relocate Afghan Exiles from Abu Dabi to Gitmo

 Guantanamo Bay should be converted to a Job Skills Training Center for thousands of Afghan exiles that were loyalists serving the United States during the last war there. It is unconscionable that they are presently languishing in a detention facility in the desert of a nation that is not their own. If Guantanamo Bay isn’t large enough to shelter the political refugees then California could serve. California is like a foreign country providing refuge to millions of non-citizen migrants already to a few thousand Afghans should be welcome too. One of the steps required for making America great again is the rectification of the labor market so all workers are legal and a permanent underclass does not exist to make the American democracy like the Athenian democracy circa 450 B.C.  (middle class democrats were supported by slaves). Another step is to recognize and provide swift adjudication of political asylum requests and especially those whose lives were at risk for serving the U.S. military during a time of foreign war.

 Afghan refugees could be vetted for security at Gitmo while learning to become dive instructors, electricians, lawyers or interpreting the lingo of blue state partisans such as “I hate Donald Trump’ and “Adam Shiff is House Intelligence Committee fuhrer”. This is the seventh year of blue state daily hate of Donald Trump that has continued interminably, perhaps to replace the Clinton 30 ear legacy of seeking to wrest control of the White House for-themselves, unto-themselves and not-for-others. Democrats fear the concept of MAGA, and rightly so since they prefer SNAFU as the perennially evolving new normal. MAGA implies that the nation needs to be better and that its policies are decayed. More than thirty trillion dollars of public debt, a degrading ecosphere and a vast left-wing social underclass of illegal workers manifestly show the nation has vast left-wing corruptions of the liberty democracies enjoy. Workers using impact drivers to screw plywood on buildings have new terminology for their work. They say things like; “I’m going to screw up a few more sheets” in a positive way. They might be illegal aliens screwing up buildings too. Democrats screw up the old fashioned way though; just ignoring Afghan refugees in need of political asylum and permanent U.S. residence. Screw up positive changes building MAGA democrats; screws fasten better than nails

 Perhaps Afghan refugees were forgotten by Democrats because they are generally over-educated for use being exploited as cheap laborers, domestics, lettuce pickers and orchard pruners by Democrats’ middle and upper class plantations or half-million dollar mansions. Democrats generally benefit the middle class and the very rich and sweep the poorest and Afghan political exiles under the rug. Load those refugees one more time on large Air Force transports an move them to Guantanamo Bay or an empty military base for vetting and U.S residence. They must be as deserving as the illegal aliens flooding California and Texas being bused to D.C. so Congress can look at the fruits of its failure to secure the southern border. There should be no illegal aliens in the U.S. to provide cheap labor at all. Every worker in the U.S.A. should be legal and paid market wages without being part of a sub-class.

Another Fine Art Update

 After completing his most recent science fiction novel; Self-portrait of the Artist as a Young Man’ I asked the artist what his next fine art project would be. He replied “It’s a miniature I call ‘Snow Blindness’. It’s in the conceptual stage. The canvas will be either all white or black. I don’t know how long the preparatory contemplation will require; that can’t be determined until the light of insight switches on while I’m building or writing.”

N.O.A.A. named to Flood Over Belief in God?

 The National Oceanic  And  Atmospheric organization isn’t at all Christian or Jewish and has obviously borrowed or expropriated an important Christian/Jewish name for itself to disrespect it, expropriate it and obfuscate the spiritual importance. It is the federal equivalent of the Washington Redskins or Cleveland Indians names that were offensive symbols to actual Amer-Indians. N.O.A.A. is a godless organization of smug scientific atheist swells too happy to disrespect private American citizens of faith when they can. N.O.A.A. claims to administer oceans and atmosphere; it does a bad job of managing fish in Alaska. I haven’t seen a fish of moderate or large size jump from saltwater since 2000. Fish catches are down or canceled all over because N.O.A.A. stinks at fish administration and probably puts the blame on some other organization managing ocean resources. Sea lions and killer whales have also been bitten by bad animal administration. Select bird species are dwindling under bad N.O.A.A. administration. Canadian wildfire smoke drifts into Alaska occasionally- does N.O.A.A. administer that? N.O.A.A. local weather forecast broadcasts have been reduced to just one day ahead of time; an inadequate quant for planning trips over-the-water for supplies. The forecast wind direction and speed is often wrong and sometimes opposite. Before growing to become swells N.O.A.A. accuracy was better and local weather prediction made five days in advance; a minimal quantity for reasonable travel planning.

 Under N.O.A.A. administration the polar ice caps are shrinking. N.O.A.A. should be folded up and its tasks given unto other government agencies and outsourced to private contractors.  A more objective, impartial and residual moral government agency like N.A.S.A. could do a better job comparing and contrasting Earth conditions with those of other planets; exoplanets have atmospheres and oceans too. N.A.S.A. could hire new companies like Ocean Z or Atmosphere Z to surveil oceans and atmosphere faster, cheaper and better than N.O.A.A.  An annual list of states and point sources of pollution could be published with quantitative in-death analysis followed up with suggestion for practical remedies for each insult to oceans and atmosphere. Federal funds could be prioritized to go to states with improvements in reducing insults to oceans and atmosphere .

 N.O.A.A. should be renamed Democrat Fascist Obnoxious Swells in recognition of their fine pay and benefits and federal support enabling them to tramp on poor Americans that can’t afford to have a decent standard of living in the U.S.A. ,or have the resources to move abroad with full retirement deposits like N.O.A.A. swells retiring with loot to Central America or Europe. N.O.A.A. does a terrible job of administering atmosphere; global greenhouse gases-  pollution from automobiles make bike riding without breathing exhaust challenging. Have a lungful of fossil fuel exhaust N.O.A.A.!

 After being renamed D.F.O.S. former N.O.A.A. employees should hitch rides with the Coast Guard as wards of coastal sailors that might need more work providing adult supervision to D.F.O.S.  D.F.O.S. personnel should receive pay cuts along with select federal personnel sufficient to provide a minimum basic income to all Americans living on fewer than $10,000 annually. A direct transfer of $3000 from each federal worker to a poor Americans would be appropriate. IF D.F.O.S .persons could increase fishing quality in U.S. waters tenfold from 2022 stats they should be entitled to a pay bonus of $25 each.

 God may not favor N.O.A.A. In fact N.O.A.A. tends to usurp the role of the almighty in Genesis to issue warnings about global sea level rises and new floods.  Everyone knows global warming and ice melting can raise the sea level. N.O.A.A. should not be so swell to believe the nation might not be better without it. If they need to expropriate Biblical names for  nefarious social conditioning purposes they might consider taking the name of Jehovah so He might slap them down as unsaved bad animals swollen with hubris. Government oppression of free speech and mockery of private citizens was commensurate with ideologues of the former Soviet Union. N.O.A.A. workers are the closest thing the nation has to an elite communist party collective. They ought to stay out of private affairs so free enterprise efforts can occur for people beside the rich.

 N.O.A.A. seems disliked a covert/overt mooning of the public  putting it over America and the world. It could be the tip of the spear of Democrats partnership with an ultra rich agenda entailing secret plans for a New World Order. That could be a Democrat elitist /N.O.A.A. intention to let itself and rich insiders survive  global doom of everyone comparable to the flood that killed the lost, first human civilization perhaps on the shore of the Persian Gulf.

 When global warming and mass extinction make life for humans on Earth untenable N.O.A.A. and its controllers may be aloof survivors with full pay and benefits on special ships- perhaps space ships, to outlast the apocalypse and return to resettle the Earth when everyone else is gone. N.O.A.A. can haul in a fortune while letting the atmosphere and oceans go to hell with plausible deniability, wringing their hands about the sad tragic fate of humanity during the last days. Alternatively, as a secular atheist clave of cold blooded reptiles, N.O.A.A. may lead the way to national assurance that no flesh will survive a new apocalypse.  The role reversal of Noah to God will be complete, except that instead of being God, N.O.A.A. evolves to Satan.

Maybe another Cash for Clunkers Presidential Race in 2024

 The U.S. electorate should pick a President the way George Steinbrenner picked players for the Yankees. He always got the best available. When a player isn’t at the top of his game with great ideas vote him or her out of office directly. The nation needs a succession of intelligent Presidents with great new and innovative ecological economic and technological development ideas who can liberate the poor, and secure democracy against rich international corporatists more concerned with hiding cash offshore and relocating blue and white collar jobs to offshore locations with the cheapest quality workforce and low taxes available. Presidential selection should be regarded as a team relay with the fastest, brightest Americans chosen from any field rather than career bureaucrats that have evolved their way to the top by outliving rivals.

 The President of the United States is one of the few most powerful leaders on Earth and should act with a mind toward benefiting America first and foreign nations too. The President should be a peacemaker though carrying a big stick for armed neutrality. The President should seek to bring the second and third world through ecological economic innovation that can develop a better standard of living without harming the ecosphere. There are many responsibilities for quality leadership sadly lacking in 4 out of 5 Presidents that made it to office recently.

 Equal protection of the law is the fundamental element of the U.S. spirit in partnership with freedom for individual self-determination. Blood lines of marriage are a fundamental and indispensable intrinsic nature of families and individuals.  Homosexual marriage breaks that up and undermines the freedom of individuals, and of individual security when family bloodlines and dissipated and corporate power to rule and control society generally rises. Ubiquitous surveillance and lives packaged and marketed for consumption in an amoral, generic social environment entails solid threats to human culture in an overpopulated world.  Singapore recently passed a more reasonable approach in banning homosexual marriage while decriminalizing homosexuality that conserves the integrity of mass culture, family bloodlines and respect for human beings that the U.S. Supreme Court flunked. Every individual in a free, democratic society deserves personal security and equal protection of the law. When human culture is broken and people are regarded as blobs of biomass of no meaningful gender differentiation in an amoral, atheist subjectivity to the rich as resources to be allocated or phased out for the benefit of elites that will inherit the Earth, the President should be one to correct that egression and set the nation on a strait rather than crooked path.

Democrats constructing Perfect Economic Storm

 The United States economy is heavily invested in foreign production; especially in Asia.  China’s emergence after the Cold War 1.0 into being a major trading partner of the United States was fomented by its vast market demographics, low labor costs for productivity and people culturally trained first in Confucian then Maoist ethics evolving toward mixed capitalism and enterprise that drew western investors. China in the 1990s was an emerging global economic power eager to throw off the shackles of poverty that had kept it in a second or even third world status decades before. Democrat policies to develop enmity over Taiwan and Chinese support for Russia’s position regarding the west and Ukraine in particular are a key element of the Democrat Party’s construction of the perfect economic and environmental storm that may lead ahead to depression.

 Sure it is good occasionally to enjoy irrational exuberance and optimism in order not to walk into self-fulfilling prophecies to malaise and bankruptcy. Optimism as a construction tool for do-it-yourselfers of any scale need be coupled with actualizable plans and work. Trusting in economic optimism for itself, or about good weather in disregard of tornado warnings, hurricane storm tracking and quantitative political and financial analysis is political malpractice when it’s the President moving down the wrong path like a horse wearing blinders. Financing an avoidable war with Russia is the U.S. leaping morons on fire into the troubles of the old world. War was second nature to Europeans and even Asians; the United States should not easily be drawn into those lunatic conflicts when possible; much less finance them. The only reason Europeans including Brits were less warlike since 1945 is WW II was a block buster and the rise of nuclear weapons discouraged precipitate engagement in new conflicts. The United States took the lead for the west in waging wars instead of finding solutions in its nuclear empowerment era. Today most people on Earth probably regard the U.S.A. as the most active belligerent nation on Earth pro war, though some conflicts were hard to avoid. Leadership to better ways is required for good, rather than evil, political leadership. The United States as an emerging godless, atheist power that doesn’t know the difference between good and evil except for purposes of partisan rhetoric may have trouble finding Christian leadership in Eurasia that would have good sense and recalcitrance to engage in mass conflicts.

 In the past, the U.S. Government has bailed out major financial and auto manufacturing establishments that failed financially; that may not be possible with large scale failures of U.S. businesses invested in China. There is also a temptation for U.S. business to sever ties with U.S. employees and simply move operations entirely to China; the workers are paid far less than American financial sector and service workers and exports to the United States could continue. Apple is such a possible corporation that could profit handsomely if it fired its U.S. staff and decided to just hire Chinese workers and American workers willing to relocate to China. When force and stress is applied across the board to U.S. businesses because of recession caused by Democrat Party and media policies/implementation corporate leaders are compelled to make hard choices (maybe to move) that they wouldn’t otherwise. Gradual evolution might have continued and economic exodus never have occurred. If Pharaoh had liberated the Jews they might not have needed to escape captivity with divine help and could have developed the Egyptian economy as well as that of Israel..

 The American economy may be mostly financial related and service workers today. It probably produces less material goods as a percentage of its economy in comparison to China and other nations than it has ever before. Many of those financial sector jobs as well as U.S. headquarters employment for businesses that produce in China could be lost to China and elsewhere in a second wave of jobs leaving the United States that were in the first wave mostly manufacturing. No amount of unskilled illegal aliens entering the United States, that mostly don’t pay taxes at any rate, will replace those better paying financial sector jobs lost to foreign competition. Blue collars lost offshore were the first wave, the second wave will be the loss of white collar jobs.

 It is ironic that Democrat Party policy to support foreign wars indirectly and to leave wars directly if involved personally has yet to quit support for Ukraine when it would be in the interests of the U.S.A. to do so. Russia may have realized that it erred in trusting the west at all when it built the Nordstrom gas pipeline to Europe instead of China and it probably is building a pipeline to the more stable and reliable for growth prospects Chinese economy or plans to. In failing to recognize Russian interests in Ukraine that are historically valid in spite of being victimized by one of the greatest carpet-bagging land-grab swindles in human history perpetrated in 1994 by President Clinton Democrats have invested in building a lasting rift with Russia and thereby forcing it to become China’s perfect natural resource supplier and perhaps partner in defending Asia against Western encroachment and expansion eastward.

 Russia has been converted into a insulator and backstop for China against flanking by Wall Street from the East. India with its large population is working with Russia too. Russia may become a midway for trade and business between China and India. Roads and pipelines may develop, especially if Russia’s Muslim population finds itself able to coordinate friendly trade relations with corridors crisscrossing shared borders. The United States is somewhat irrelevant in that scenario except as a military threat.

 Democrat have partnered with Wall Street to compel immoral choices upon the nation.  It was better to take a Singaporean approach to homosexual marriage than the Obama-Roberts, for Singapore recognizes the cultural values of others rather than just one side preferred by wealthy elitists. Democrat assumptions that the core of the U.S.A. will remain a constant while they as globalists can compel global culture to take up Democrat Party values are wrong.  When corporate wealth awakens to the India-China market and relocates its wealth abroad including intellectual capital, in pursuit of profit; while the U.S. economy falters and millions of poorly educated workers relocate here, and while public debt increases the U.S.A. will still have a vast nuclear arsenal and modern military. The world will not be a safer place divided as global warming changes accelerate and myopic politicians strive for a better standard of living based on conventional economics and dwindling natural resources for their patrons.

 In dividing the world economy in order to try to force conquest of Russia’s valid historical claims to Ukraine the Democrat Party has imperiled the global economy at a time when it should be providing leadership to transition to sustainable ecological economic policy instead of classical economics that have existed since the Industrial Revolution. Russia did invade Ukraine, yet they already owned it in a sense.  Russia may have been like an absent vineyard owner returning to throw out predators that had killed his caretaking son and claimed the breadbasket and vineyard of Russia for-themselves. The Democrat Party never gave Russia any chance to use legal remedies as alternatives to war since the Clinton-Yeltsin paper took Ukraine away from weakened, vulnerable Russia in 1994. The Democrat Party has substituted hatred of Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump for economic reason. Besides failing to take adequate steps to halt the ongoing mass extinction that may lead to the end of human life too, they are f’ing up the classical economy and setting the nation on course for recession, depression or break up.

 The United States has millions of boomers leaving the economy forever and drawing on public retirement payments. Not all want to retire either. Some were put out of work by Covid closures and others are too poor not to need to work into their 70s. Obamacare did nothing for retirees; if one gets the minimum $500 social security check they would still need to pay at least $200 to $250 for Medicare plan B medical coverage. Realistically if Americans have fewer than $15,000 annually to live on full Medicare benefits should be free. Dividing the global economy and throwing the United States into recession will just make it that much harder for older Americans to get work in an economy that would rather hire young illegal aliens and discriminates against the elderly anyway.

 The U.S. government so mangled up by Democrats may not be able to bail out failed U.S. business not big enough to not be allowed to fail. The big companies can simply relocate to Asia and let the United States enter a lasting slump. Senior benefits could be reduced or lost entirely if there is war domestically after a time of chaos. Public education may collapse; government may be reduced to minimal infrastructure vital services costing just a fraction of the present.

 Without much credibility the dollar may not be trusted enough to allow full faith and credit in doubling the public debt to bail out the economy with a flood of Keynesian permanent priming. Basically there isn’t a way to make stupidity work efficiently, and new methods and styles need be developed to create a healthy national economy and ecosphere.

Transpuckic Journalists Serve Mass Extinction

 Contemporary broadcast journalism in the United States evolved from neutral observer presentations of the 1960s and 70s to adversarial journalism where-imp journalists interviewed and pieced together stories to prove points of narratives with transpuckic broadcast shots on the goal of reinforcing and advancing power to benefit special interests. Transpucktional reporting is adversarial, builds narratives with pieces of truth that support semi-fiction narratives, omitting exculpatory counter-tangential facts and other materials non-supportive of preferred narrative themes.

 Some broadcast organizations have solid bias toward evolving narratives appealing to viewers or listeners demographically. Female reporters spin stories and narratives toward evolution of female power. Black, Latino and homosexual reporters spin stories and narratives toward evolving same race and perversion political and social power. One of the primary troubles with that sort of journalistic approach is the harm that it does to general social relations in polarizing the polity. Ukraine’s government said that if you support Russia or Putin then you can’t go on vacation in Europe. I hate it when foreign politicians make threatening statements to the world at large including Americans. Puppet governments of the uber rich need media support to force support for their goals.

 Americans that have seen European Vacation and have given thought to visiting Europe might want to rethink that. Besides being too expensive, if they have written contrary to the will of the Ukraine government they would need to look under their rental cars for plastic explosives that Ukrainian operatives might have planted. Ukraine’s harm to democracy is matched only be the stupidity of Speaker Pelosi and other Democrats that have done everything they can to antagonize China and push it toward the Russian side of potential nuclear war.  I too have supported Taiwan’s independence. Steady moral and military support plus business was good enough; walk quietly and carry a big stick was all that was needed to de frappe a Chinese invasion. The Von Pelosi in-your-face Nancy-on-scene approach was simply stupid and harmful to trade and national security. President Trump was at least pragmatic and sane on foreign affairs unlike Democrats. Democrats are posers with the belief that exhibitionism, aggression and deceit are the only virtues.

 Ukraine’s mafia-government hatred of pluralistic free speech is shared by the U.S. Democrat Party, select social media goons and journalist fellow traveler opponents of free expression of political and historical ideas/interpretations other than their own collective screeds. It is disgusting that the U.S. Government funds Ukraine’s effort to consolidate President Von Clinton’s theft of Soviet-Russian land, nuclear power plants and ports, though understandable given Democrat disbelief in morality or truth besides personal proprietary goals in evolution for-itself.

 The Democrat Party since President Bill snuffed every avenue to peace and prosperity with Russia that it could find. Russia was left with no legal remedies to the greatest land swindle of modern times. War is the logic of kings, and democracy too. When reason fails all around, when international truth is defined by elites for-themselves through their media and puppets rule western governments, war is inevitable if anyone has the capacity to resist. Instead of a new era of environmental economics the Democrat party funds war, deaths and the pollution it brings. It would have been, and still is, feasible to end the conflict with a settlement in place. If the U.S. Government would work for that goal it is improbable that Ukraine would continue the war long or that Europe would wage a proxy war against Russia without American support.

 A polarized polity has constituents defending their own goals against adversarial shots on goal by opponents. Personal defenses and party defenses to survive hostile transpuckic reporting set abstract goals like avoiding the sixth mass extinction or at least surviving it to the back. People focus on worthless, avoidable, immediate, clear and present hostile narrative use-truths from transpucktional media wing persons of interest at the forefront of politics instead. One cannot claim that Democratic party policy is intelligent. While they haven’t even learned what ecological economics are or how the U.S. economy should transition to it they are also f’ing up the classical economy and building recession. It seems as if they are doing everything they possibly can to create recession and even crash the U.S. economy into depression as if it were a preferred alternative to good reason. Normal global relations including those with Russia and China need be restored directly if perfect storms of Democrat economic and environmental stupidities are to be de frapped.

 Mass public communications can be very influential and concerning. When the broadcast media is biased and slanted toward political, economic or power goals and spins speech demotic to influence the masses corruption ensues. In prior eras public corruption denying equal protection of the law to targeted individuals or groups wasn’t uncommon. Corruption social power by enjoyed by ruling classes was as common as air. If the broadcast media financed by government and corporate sponsors joins with traditional corrupt practices it may be felt that society will survive it and continue rambling on as it has always with some rough spots for small minorities. Corruption however can eclipse good politics and reforms with society and the electorate being concerned instead with public issues on the front burner created largely by interests of the corrupt. It is challenging to believe that good public political opinion to change the world economy to an ecologically sustainable one could ever develop with the polarized, divisive politics reinforced by broadcast media corruption. Unlike in times past when society and human progress could endure and advance in spite of corruption, in the present configuration civilization may fail to after a century more or less. Public corruption rots the fate of humanity stifling individual enterprise, free will and enlightenment of democracy.

 The sixth mass extinction may be developing even now. It could be closer than most think. Great economic transition of method to ecospheric economic policy is called for those interested in keeping robust human life on Earth. Reporting on the sixth mass extinction by transpucktional journalists contains adverse narrative spin destroying political unification requisites for developing public political will to avoid extirpation of human society. Transpucktionalists may win the narrative and lose the war for the survival of human life on Earth.

Book ends justify the means of Demo plot construction?

 The end of a book; the conclusion, can justify a lot of plot twists when it’s good enough. Fiction narratives and perhaps Democrat party narratives with the logger’s flummery sending lumber racing downhill in water chutes like bobsleds have linear and simple force with nothing to the sides. Novels nearly never have unintended consequences such as characters being deleted from other books as the reader moves along a plot’s time line from the alpha of page one to the omega point of the last paragraph. In the real world actions and structured special designs implemented en mass or even in isolation from the mainstream may develop innumerable unintended effects as the plot develops.

 Plot does have a somewhat dangerous connotation these days. Perhaps that's useful to authors trying to discover the art of selling books, less so for the “right wing extremist” groups that are a bete noir for NPR and other left-wing corporatist broadcast outfits. The Democrat Party appears to have a Ludlum title progressive aggressive agenda of forcing things their way as standard practice. The F.B.I. legal break in to former President Trump’s Florida club paradise to take back classified materials removed from the Executive Branch while he was in office was the most recent blatant example of the use of maximum force where legally possible. One can imagine federal officers busting into the homes of Thomas Jefferson or Abraham Lincoln with a warrant to seize materials when they were out of office; that would likely have caused quite a stir.

 Unfortunately a man was killed by law enforcement officers after trying to attack F.B.I. personnel. He was very upset with the breach of respect for former President Trump. The deceased took the idea of direct action too seriously; he thought he could start a war against Democrats most likely as the tip of the spear sacrificing his life. Any sort of revolutionary war against the U.S. military is completely ludicrous without the use of biological weapons of mass destruction- and that is an extreme case of calling friendly fire down upon one’s own position to end the swarm of opposition forces overrunning one’s position. Modern weapons used even by infantry are far better than a generation ago and civilians simply haven’t the stuff to resist violently even in well organized militias.

 President Biden seems to be a very dangerous man because of his position and lack of awareness of the harm to American economic and social interests that the Democrat Party polices bring. He is an insider Senator sine qua non who pursued the highest elected office for decades and finally got it after an apprenticeship with Barrack Hussein Obama. He has completed the Democrat’s foundational infrastructure for decades of conflict and enmity with two of the three largest nuclear weapons powers on Earth.

 With Germany seeking to build a natural gas pipeline from Portugal to replace the Nordstrom pipeline from Russia the plot can be inferred to be intended to last for a generation. That may increase natural gas costs a little in the U.S.A. and build a political wall between the west and the east of Eurasia. Wall Street’s investing opportunities will be reduced while Democrats build an isolationist wall between East and West. National independence is valuable; blocking free trade with sanctions is not

 A full range of economic and environmental lost potential might be remedied with a new Republican-led Congress until a Republican President can be elected to find a way to end the Ukraine conflict and fully restore relations with Russia and China. A divided world isn’t a good plot at this point on history as demographic, environmental and resource challenges face everyone on Earth. When one is digging a hole contra to public interests, it is said the first thing one should do is to stop digging.

 Epistemology is a philosophical field inquiring into knowledge and how it occurs. Maybe subjective knowledge is comparable to computer flash memory. One interesting thing is that even though being is self-aware with knowledge the kernels of data one has, develops or experiences, knowledge is also awareness of self-awareness. The entire experience of knowledge is phenomenal apparently. It disappears like a beautiful sunset and August harvest moon deserving capture in a jejune poem hyperbolizing the glories of August making one wistful in January for those dog days. Bad and maladroit U.S. politics are phenomenal though they are concatenated serial praxis of ad hoc Democrat Party agenda and corporatize leadership. Domestic political thought need be more than a kid’s rhyme adaptation for adults where Democrat censors of social media live by the code; ‘Fe Fi Fo Flum I spell the blood of a Republican; be they alive or be they dead I’ll grind their bones and paint them red.

Pres Biden hints Democrats may have weather control in the future

 POTUS replied to a press question in Kentucky that the government can do something to recover from weather damage even if it can’t control the weather now. The inference is that Democrats may be able to control the weather in the foreseeable future. After that maybe controlling the tides is next on the party agenda. I believe the irrational exuberance of the Democrat party over passage of the biggest bill in decades or something to that effect said Senator Schumer, is evident.

 In the 2020 Democrat Presidential primaries global warming response was a big topic that elicited plans from all the on-stage candidates. The most expensive ran north of 50 trillion dollars and the cheapest was Joe Biden’s 3.5 trillion dollar plan. The great ‘Inflation Reduction Doublespeak Bill” allocates about 350 billion to slow global warming a little. That is 1/10th of the cost of the most minimal plan; not exactly a success.

 My belief is that intelligent regulations and laws could eliminate greenhouse gassing, habitat degradation and mass species extinctions faster and better than any spending bill the Congress might pass. Those bills are invariably loaded with pork and are poorly planned to the extent of being ineffective at improving the ecosphere. Jacque Cousteau and James Lovelock each expressed the opinion that mankind has about 200 years of a livable planet remaining. I believe the ballpark figure now is about 170 years. Humans are just over-consuming and overusing natural resources with inefficient and ecospherically mal-adapted technology.

 Democrats have managed to restore the Cold War version 1.0 to a full 2.0 status. Sending ten billion to the Ukraine government for weapons to kill Russians might have some unintended negative consequences for the U.S.A., yet like the global warming problem, government leadership tends to ignore the challenges and even increase the potential scale of disaster. Maybe it’s premature in regard to the Democrat’s new world order schedule to think about how normal relations could be restored with Russia and China, yet I will indulge that point a little.

 Democrats have piled on every sanction and penalty they could imagine upon Russia. That will make it difficult to end conflict with Russia or to end sanctions short of some kind of complete surrender by Russia even though the U.S.A. and N.A.T.O. aren’t technically at war with them (though Democrats might wish they could be).  If the U.S. weapons can kill so many Russian soldiers that the Russian military withdraws to areas the United States government considers their legitimate reservation it could not end the sanctions without that Russian surrender; if it did that would be like ending sanctions on Saddam Hussein after General Schwarzkopf and the military coalition drove the Iraqi military out of Kuwait and back to Iraq. So long as Russia is regard as belligerent and on the wrong side of the Queer Curtain (like the Iron Curtain except lavender on the U.S.-N.A.T.O. side and red on the Russian peace couldn’t be assured. Maybe it would evolve like the DMZ dividing the two states of Korea and the western forces would stand ready to war against the Eastern forces for a half century or more.

 I believe intelligent people tend to see more and deeper than people less intellectually gifted. It may also be that people believe their own intellect is fine and they understand things as they are. Even the most intelligent may be wrong- Einstein for example believed his cosmological constant was a blunder. Maybe it’s a variable; if it was less a few billion years ago than it is now it might have accelerated some-space on the way to terminal velocity. Democrats seem content that their attitude toward Russia and Ukraine is intelligent and the best outlook. They also minimize or ignore dire possible consequences to global security as a result of the war. Too often they declare they are defending another democracy when factually the U.S.A. has evolved into plutocracy with nominal democracy. Wealth has concentrated, the broadcast media became special interest social fascists fanning racial politics and Democrats legislate special interest bills with one-party votes and a majority of one in the Senate. Neither party seems interested in building a better world that eliminates poverty in the U.S.A. first and then that of the world while returning the environment to health.

  With free enterprise and limits to capitalism good legislation can move in the direction of a healthy world. God told Jeremiah that everyone knows Him and they simply forget who he is. Democrats not only lose reverence for God or even awareness of Him, they also forget about campaign promises to pass substantial legislation to slow or reverse global warming instead dumping ecospheric tokenism into their synthetic fascist information media to prop up November re-election trimes. Alaska’s next election later in August has weighted candidates where one is supposed to rank choices, as if any substitute product was acceptable to one a voter believes best. If federal elections had ranked choices indicating that just insiders are ranked and eligible  they would need negative ranking choices (less than zero) to realistically capture voter sentiment.

Earth Heating/Cooling for Desert Homes

 The Earth is constant regarding temperature. Not far below the surface the temperature remains the same regardless of extremes caused by climate change. Desert homes built in the exuberance era of Hoover Dam's online status that rely entirely on electricity for comfortable heating cooling highlight human designing flaws in adapting to the Terran ecosphere. Rational politics would adapt to the change and reduce desert heating costs by at least half.

 There may always be more demand for power than can be produced or that is necessary for heating and cooling of well designed structures. Costs rise with demand always shuffling out the poor from new deals. Las Vegas could adapt to increased global heating by requiring some ordinance that new homes be at least 50% cooled from passive Earth technology that bring down high temperatures and bring up cold with little electrical use. Retrofitting structures should also be considered, and public spaces that don't need electricity to stay within a survivable range should be considered for emergency preparedness.

California Governor's Attack on U.S. Constitution

 California’s Governor Newsom signed in to law a bill allowing citizens to sue other citizens for exercising their constitutional right to keep and bare arms. He modeled the bill on a Texas law allowing citizens to sue abortion providers. Apparently he doesn’t know the founders did not put a constitutional right to abortion in the original document or amendments thereafter. Letting citizens sue citizens for exercising constitutionally protected rights is a direct attack on the constitution of the United States. The Newsom anti-build a gun kit law sets a precedent for liberal lawsuits on every constitutionally protected right. The Newsome model would let a globe of lawsuits contradicting constitutional rights like the right of women to vote and freedom from slavery.

For some reason Democrats don’t seem to comprehend the ramifications of their approach to gerrymandering constitutional liberties. For instant gratification Democrats make very dangerous attacks on the pillars U.S. government legislative rules, and constitutional rights in addition to unstatesmanlike foreign policy. At least the nation can be confident that Democrat Party leadership will continue to seem to be disingenuous or indolent and never get an advanced new energy infrastructure built that creates hydrogen gas from electrolysis to make a liquid hydrogen cooled super-conducting electrical grid that synergizes greenhouse gas reduction and clean energy independence.

Bad politics and daft politicians are an empirical threat rather than an existential one. The difference is this; existential viewpoints are individual rather than common or empirical. What is an existential threat to one person may be beneficence to another. An empirical threat is a pervasive threat to all within a realm. That kind of threat usually arrives from space, from deep in the Earth, or from Washington D.C.

 

 

Irrational Exuberance, Environment and Inductive Puzzles

 Experiencing the climate this year in S.E. Alaska where July so far was cool and inclement it occurred to me that indoor, thermostat regulated lifestyles like those of average Americans detach humans from environmental sensitivity. I’ve spent decades in unheated shelters including Alaska, sometimes sleeping on the ground where I used ground temperature and insulating blankets to keep a gallon of water from freezing solid when the air temperature was zero Fahrenheit, so I am fairly sensitive to climate.

The effects of indoor, thermostat regulated lifestyles are fairly new in the course of human history. A couple of centuries ago people in the north were lucky to have a wood stove for cold winters and built their homes around the wood stove. Air conditioning didn’t exist much before electricity when the Gulf coast was populated by mosquitoes and outlaws. People worked hard to separate themselves from nature to a certain extent; they liked bright things, glitz and shiny and that desire to be relieved from the common dark, dour, sometimes dank conditions of homes lit by candles and perhaps kerosene lamps increased along with the advance of technology. People were attracted to neon lights like bugs are to bug lights. Indoor living with climate controlled environments became common as did machines for transport and to relieve work. Humans to some extent tried to forget the external and very real world of nature and were unconcerned with managing its health. In places like the Willamette Valley of Oregon and Puget Sound of the state of Washington urban and suburban sprawl overtook exceedingly fertile farmlands that had arisen when the great northwestern forests were converted into lumber. An irrational exuberance had overtaken humanity of the first world and it was based on segregating nature and placing mankind into an artificial, bug free, trouble free world.

It is my belief that the irrational exuberance of living a lifetime in artificial environments has affected human psychology deeply. The bright lights and bling of the artificial has become the new normal and nature has become regarded as disreputable. Some associate nature with vermin and value its remaining ecospheric health only so far as to consider its monetary value if processed for market sale. The psychology of natural consumption inside the new nature of the artificial normalizes irrational exuberance. The addiction to a world of pastel colors, shiny objects, bright lights and machines has been joined with drugs, alcohol, tobacco and intoxicants of polluting and non-polluting kind so far as to make common human nature maladapted to experience subtle change of seasons effects directly on the senses, the varieties of darkness and light of winter months, and psychologically incapable of making serious remedies for gross natural habitat loss, mass species extinction and global warming.

In my opinion being aware of the problem is required for fixing those serious ecospheric, environmental challenges. It is probably impossible to get humanity to step back from the ecospheric ledge if it requires reducing consumption, so increasing efficiency through innovating new technological and environmental methods may be the most realistic way to proceed.

Politicians tend to be immersed in the general unnatural psychology of irrational exuberance and excess consumption. Americans buy some things just because they can and feel like it. They have disposable income that exceeds their basic needs for living. President Reagan was known as the great communicator. He was an optimist with a cheery disposition. Not only was he liked, he was trusted. President Reagan said that America’s best times were yet ahead. His optimism helped greatly to bring about the end of the Cold War 1.0. President Reagan had faith in God and that was honest. He too however personified the American greatness of consumption rather than environmentalism. The nation needs faith in God, environmental reformation and technological progress to move very far ahead in the way of progress. Blind allegiance to the politics of consumerism and a wrong understanding of Smith’s Wealth of Nations/Capitalism may deliver the U.S.A. to knock itself out crashing into an environmental limits wall.

I have written elsewhere on select approaches to take to make up with the nation and world’s ecosphere. The field of environmental economics is highly recommended. I would add here the observation that what is lacking in U.S. politics at the Federal level (actually quite a number of character items are lacking and in need of repair yet I will not digress) is creative thinking. Fixing the environment is a matter of solving inductive puzzles rather than deductive ones like crossword puzzles. Inductive puzzles bring one to see ways to put different technologies or tools together to make something to solve problems and challenges. From pieces in the world comprising everything that exists, one selects pieces to invent a puzzle  picture that solves the problem.

Gobal Warming and Mag-Lev Skim Boards vs HPMs and the Ukraine War

 The pre-industrial era atmospheric CO2 level was 280 ppm. Today it is 427.40 parts per million (ppm). I remember just a decade or so ago it...
