An Essay on the Fascist

 In my opinion Joe Biden is the most fascist of all U.S. Presidents. A democracy allows much leeway for Presidential behavior concerning foreign policy. An elected President may opt to support or orchestrate conflicts that copiously kill foreigners. The lives of foreigners may have less value to U.S. citizens after taking on the job of President.

Some American Presidents- Jimmy Carter for example were the opposite of fascist. Democrat Presidents following Bill Clinton’s lead in stealing Ukraine from Russia during the interregnum of leadership between Soviet and Russian eras developed a fascist quality land grab approach of land plainly belonging to Russia. Since Joe Biden is the smoothest deflector of responsibility and accountability for U.S. foreign policy that has ever held the office of President little criticism of his policy in Ukraine has been heard. If he is re-elected he may be able to end global warming by getting a day care for democrats bill passed, yet that won’t terminate his mission to fund the Ukraine war.

Some would argue that racial fascism occurred during the settlement of the west when aboriginal Americans were forced off their land and onto reservations though their population was fewer than eight million in the entire are of the present U.S. states. I would say that politics abhors a vacuum of leadership over land and that competition between Spain, England, France and the United States to control American spaces was the equivalent of competition of auto-towing company trucks to reach the scene of a highway accident. If the U.S. government didn’t take the west England, France or Spain would have.

The preponderantly adversarial American aboriginal did not share the characteristics or social structures of those of Europeans or U.S. citizens and were thus necessarily antagonists. In the era of colonization associations like the Masons, religious affiliations and citizenship mattered. Human societies settled differences with war before the rise of Nintendo, Twitter, telephones and jet aircraft.

Joe Biden’s is a story like that of Hannah Arandt’s ‘The Banality of Evil’ where bureaucrat can lead prosecution of policy resulting in mass death; he is basically alone among U.S. Presidents in driving a war to occur against a modern civilized people acting in self-defense to retrieve their ancestral land against a team of Democrat Party lawyers seeking to devour. I believe Joe Biden is too daft to even understand what he has done as a leader.

I think it not a coincidence that Joe Biden claims to be the most union supporting President in U.S. history and acts as a fascist. Adolph Hitler was leader of the German Socialist Workers Party and implicitly pro-union, anti-gun gun ownership and of course fascist. Continuing war on Russia via Ukrainian proxies is fascist. In fact the officers of Ukraine’s army may include the great grandchildren of fascists in Ukraine that fought with the Nazis against Russia during World War Two. The bloody and entirely unnecessary conflict that could be settled any time the Biden administration choose to recognize Russia’s historical ownership of Ukraine and select regions of eastern Ukraine claimed by Russia. To fail to immediately stop the war and build peace on god terms for all parties is virtual insanity so far as U.S. interests are concerned.

The Biden administration is driving a wedge between the west and east economically and encouraging the Eastern block to develop its own center of effort between Russia, China, Iran, Vietnam, North Korea, India etc. Developing nations looks increasingly to the United States as an hypocritical Neo-fascist power interested mostly in expanded the power of Wall Street and the rich over the entire Earth. The United States is dividing the world at a time with economic unity is required in order to slow the increasingly dangerous pace of global warming and habitat loss stimulating mass species extinction. Rather than uniting the world and evolving directed political evolution to ecological economics the President has brought to life like a Woolly Mammoth from a carcass excavated from Siberian ice a cold then hot war with what he sees as a recrudescent Soviet political power attempting to attack Europe. That outlook is insane. Russia in the Putin era was not any kind of potential attacker of any nations of the west that formerly were not part of Russia before 1917. President Biden would believe that all of the eastern European nations held by Russia after world war two that had been occupied by the Nazis Russia defeated were apples in the eye of President Putin and that is simply not true. Russia returned the East European nations to freedom and independence after a half-century of custodial care until history moved on and they were no longer a fascist threat. The political circumstances since Bill Clinton was President show that was an incorrect judgment and that with the advantage of post-war economic development globally the United States and European nations are a threat to a stable world order and seek through the use of power and apologetics of the broadcast media not to live peacefully with the world without complete hegemony if not legal possession of the planet.

Adolph Hitler didn’t invent fascism; the Italian leader Mussolini did. Hitler simply applied it quite well before the war and lost everything during it with the U.S. and allies fighting from the west and Russia from the east. Joe Biden has forgotten that history and has made the U.S.A. and enabling accomplice in an insane war at great cost in lives, wealth and opportunity. Taking land forcibly, aggressively unless it is a repo of stolen land, is an obsolete political paradigm for increasing wealth. In actual fact it mattered little who owned Eastern Ukraine if there were good relations and low, low taxes if any on business done their. Joe Biden and other recent Democrats have insisted on complete ownership of all of what historically was Russian before the arrival of communism. Combing the worst effects on Russia of Communism and Fascism President Biden is easily the most fascist of all U.S. Presidents on foreign policy.

Apocalyptic themes are quite old in Hollywood. One 1960s movie told the story of survivors of a nuclear war living in Australia spending their last 60 days of life before the radiation and nuclear winter that had already taken the rest of the world population reached them. During the cold war era for decades Americans and Europeans strove to end the danger of nuclear annihilation. Joe Biden has resurrected the threat and I am not grateful for that.

There are reasons for human behavior and political decisions. Some religious end times theology teach that an apocalypse is pre-destined. Some followers of those doctrines believe it good that an apocalypse occur for they will be taken to heaven then. Christians tend to have tow or three interpretations of what the Bible has to say about end times. One may believe that it occurred already in the first century AD. with the destruction of Jerusalem by the world power of the day, others give it a different meaning and believe the apocalypse is in the future. An industry of writing books about the approach of the end times apocalypse have flourished. Muslims share that end times apocalypse point of view with pre-tribulationist Christians. Needless to say competent political management does not support conditions that would hasten the apocalypse even if one believed it would inevitably occur. It is challenging to say what Joe Biden’s end times viewpoint is as a Catholic. The pope recently made a flanking maneuver of China by visiting Mongolia. That was a provocative journey perhaps made with wrong beliefs that the west and himself are emulating the papacy of liberation of John Paul II. In that regard such assumptions would be wrong; misunderstanding the nature of the ending of the cold war as well as the role of John Paul II in ending the Cold War. John Paul II was charismatic and liked, and experienced increased prestige with survival of an assassin’s bullet, like President Reagan. The pair worked together charismatically and effectively, drawn with the Spirit, to end the Cold War helping President Gorbachev with his policy of glasnost and perestroika to merge monolithic communism into Svaboda (freedom capitalism). None of those elements are present today.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the most liberating doctrine that mankind has ever received. Brought with military force to subject peoples I believe it less effective in winning hearts and minds. For hundreds of years some people have associated Christian evangelism with military power and state religion. While that has actually occurred in some places Christianity did very well at winning hearts and minds when it was a minority religion and even during persecutions and trials. Corrupt worldly political power begets more corruption rather than liberation although it can be a stimulus to revolution.

I wonder, theologically speaking, if some men believe that if they are responsible for killing a great number of people, or of they can enable others to kill a great number of people as in the Ukraine-Russia war, if they believe they may have a greater place in hell for eternity in the role of chief sadistic devils. Does Joe Biden believe the Pope absolves him of his responsibility for throwing so much fuel onto the Ukraine war?

Maybe the U.S.A. elects to the highest office only those that have sold their soul to the devil (after Ronald Reagan). Perhaps some like Joe Biden have a fizzled brain and cloudy awareness of the concept of God and eternal life and don’t want to publicly say so. Maybe they pretend Christianity and really believe in oblivion after death and don’t want to say that either believing their murderous acts will be as meaningless as cherry blossoms falling from a tree on a cliff into the ocean.

Rather than the west using pressure and intimidation with military power to bring Russia and China into compliance with the social agenda of the Democrat party and the economic power of the world’s one-percenters (in wealth) a cooperative, stable economic and political relationship developed with new ideas and directed capitalism was the preferred alternative and it still issue.

President Clinton’s policy, probably based on ignorance and pressure from England, aborted the conception of a stable Russia with secure borders and long range build up of strong economic ties with the United States and Europe. Democrats have methodically isolated Russia to actual the Clinton-Yeltsin paradigm of Russia as a rump state to be intimidated and co-opted while developing the back door to flank China and pressure it into subject-hood to the west, the Pope and the King of England and other European elites. That sort of approach worked in the 17th century yet today it is a century obsolete.

Russia will become the express land route between West and Eastern Eurasia eventually either with original friendly U.S. ties or adverse ones. The friendly way has far better economic and military stability prospects for the United States. President Zelinsky recently appointed a Crimean Muslim-possible a Tatar from Crimea, to lead his military. Relying on territorial Muslims that want to retake land that the descendants of Genghis Khan took before Russia rolled them back and out of the Crimea more than a quarter of a thousand years ago shows the extreme depths of the lunacy of President Biden in his choice to prop up the Ukrainian government in its proxy war for President Biden and European elites and paranoids against Russia. Maybe Joe Biden expects Mongolians to capture of all Russia since Genghis Khan did make it to within thirty miles of Novgorod during his invasion and occupation of Russia long ago. One can’t be sure of anything about the President’s policy expect that he remembers to keep sending billions and billions to Ukraine because as the Sect. Of State said (a paraphrase); “The implications are great if we don’t”. One may imply anything it might be remembered and it is often meaningless. Reality and the complete complex of compresence is of more importance.

Before ending this essay I will take the opportunity to comment on another theological point that concerns the Pope, his minion President Biden and the European Ukraine conflict with Russia. I stipulate that I am not anti-Catholic. I believe in the separation of church and state though. There are even Protestants that share the Catholic ideal of theocracy however. The theological point of relevance I am addressing is that of the Biblical hermenutic differences (hermeneutics means interpretation of scripture) on the millennium. In brief there are three positions concerning the milenium (pre,post an amillennialism). Catholics are amillennialists with the viewpoint that the Universal Church led by the Pope on Earth is the developing kingdom of God and the millennium is a non-sequitur. The Pope’s assignment as the holder of the keys of St. Peter is to evangelize the world and make it the kingdom of God. Eventually Christ will return and directly rule the kingdom the Pope as shepherded on Earth. It will be remembered though that after receiving the keys Peter three times denied being a follower of Christ, as Christ told him he would. Peter and Popes make mistakes. One of them is in my opinion becoming too secular in evangelizing the world.

The Pope seemed to coordinate his visit to Mongolia to speak to a nation of mostly Buddhists in coordination with the Zelenski promotion of a descendant of the Mongol world ruler Genghis and the Crimean Horde to lead the Army of Ukraine. It presents a curious vision of two would be world rulers 750 years apart planting a flag in Mongolia; one to ride west in conquest and the other drawing catholic faithful east through the obstacle of Russia to Mongolia and overlook China. The affair reeks of politics and promotion of religious conflict in support of a war with Russia to take former Russian land from that Orthodox Christian nation. You may recall that Christians of the east and west; of Byzantium and Rome had a schism lasting far longer than that of the period of dueling Popes of Avignon and Rome.

I believe that every religion has a right to exercise freely their faith and to evangelize should they wish. When religious leaders stimulate religious or racial conflicts in support of secular wars for power and land; even if they believe in an amillenialist theology that it may be there right and duty to do so in a way similar to the Muslim division of the world in to two camps of the Dar al harb and the Dar al Islam, that they have gone too far. It may be the right of God to orchestrate wars if he wishes with divine power yet it is not the right of mankind to do so should they believe they have divine sanction, dispensation or whatever excuse for war they may conceive.

Metal-Free Belts for Airlines

 It’s good that someone manufactured belts without metal that clear TSA screening at airports It saves time if passengers keep their belts on. Although there are a variety of ways to build a metal-free belt that won’t set off metal detectors I like the belt designed with the sort of nylon and plastic heavy duty snap-links used on sturdy backpacks.

Ranked Choice Ruin of Honest Elections

 


Ranked choice voting is the fact of life in Alaska now. In my opinion the system was created to help Lisa Mussorgsky win elections in the state. Lisa M usually doesn’t get the Republican nomination though she describes herself as a Republican. She runs as an independent. Ranked choice voting allows Democrats to vote for her first and their own Democrat candidate second while Republicans vote for their nominee first and Lisa second, and between the two Lisa Mussorgsky wins the election (in theory).

A voter may tolerate just one choice and hate all the rest. Ranked choice voting forces bad, capricious choice voting. If there is one good surgeon in a hospital H.M.O. and the remainder are drunks and dopers, and patients need elect one surgeon to work that day at the hospital yet most patients are ill-informed of surgeon quality, how is the well-informed voter to rank all of the dopers and drunks knowing they should all be condemned? Failing to make the secondary votes can harm the opportunity for the one good flesh-cutter to serve.

Ranked choice voting makes the election process opaque rather than transparent. Few voters understand how second third and fourth place choices contribute votes for candidates if their first choice doesn’t win or if votes from others put someone over the top. Smarmy advocates for ranked choice voting denigrate opponents saying that the process is childishly simple and that anyone can understand it. That is simply false. It is easy to understand how to work ranked choice voting and rank non-choice choices for particular candidates in an order. What isn’t understood is how the votes are counted or added up to elect a winner.

One wonders why voters should be forced to indicate support for candidates they may not like at all and wouldn’t vote for in any circumstance I order to avoid default support in some kind of obscure second and third choice tier voting tabulation that defaults to those that did rank choices having more election power if one chooses not to rank alternative choices. Let me give and example.

In the 2024 Presidential election there are no good candidates. A voter may believe all of the candidates are idiots, unqualified and will do a bad job at leading the nation. None will eliminate national economic methods that cause global warming or deterioration of the ecosphere with an ongoing mass extinction of life on Earth, none will balance the federal budget and none have expressed- beside Donald Trump, a plain intention and ability to swiftly end the war in Ukraine and Russia (Ukraine is attacking Russia with missiles and drones now). No candidate has a plan to eliminate poverty, create a national minimum income for all Americans, most don’t have a plan to secure the southern border against illegal migration or increase the taxes on the rich significantly. So a voter sees one candidate that might, marginally be acceptable and males a choice to vote for that candidate, then if ranked choice voting existed the voter would be forced to indirectly vote for several others to fill the second through fifth place spots and they are all reprehensible to the voter.

So the voter gets to the polling booth and begins selecting candidates they hate as ranked choices for slots two through five. I stipulate that an Americans Communist Party candidate, an American Nazi Party candidate, an American Jihad against America candidate, an American anarchist party candidate and several other reformers are in the election. So the candidate picks Ron DeSantis for first place and then faces the challenge of how to vote for the others in order not to water-down their own first choice vote by not voting for the also rans. That is the problem with ranked choice voting. Another issue is how ones ranked secondary choices might help elect some other candidate one hates, and maybe everyone hates, because no one ranked them first and placed them in second because the others were worse.

You go to a restaurant and rank your choices from a menu for what you might get. Everyone in the restaurant is also voting an five menu selections for what they might get. The one with the most first place votes might not actually be what everyone gets. If there are two reasonable choices on the menu and three bad ones that everyone hates, yet half of the people in the restaurant would never tolerate the other treasonable choice it seems possible that one of the reprehensible third through fifth place choices may win the election if they are everyone’s second choice. If the first place votes were tied between the two candidates from the rhubarb and broccoli parties the third party knockwurst party could take the cake; that can’t be certain since the tallying process for ranked choice voting is Byzantine bull.

Ai it's a stronger season now (a poem)

 

A transparent life brought
balance to rivers of colors
merged with time
wasting footsteps naught
silence wrapped, packaged
overhead wordless judgments
set aside too restless for decorating props
of primitive historical records spun
from the barrel of a gun
ai.

Mud Sucks (a poem)


Knee deep the mud sucked
oyster shells cut
mosquitos bit
while a deer paddling
didn't see the hammerhead's smile
saltwater shared a horizon
without ripples
below the surface
with the tide out
a piddling river carved a channel to the sea
time swallowed whole
sunrise, sunset and night.

Desiderata of the Spiritually Dead (poem)

 

The spiritually dead can’t be killed again
born in death they remain in death
eternally

  Something could disturb the dogmatic slumber
while high roads rumble
the future never rests

  Perchance to dream
spears through gathered twilight
without a sense of it at all

  A spark, the call
to eternal life presented
to wake the dead went unheeded

  A white throne’s eternal judgment
while staring out into deep space
from a mountainside

Technology libraries up notches
cut into force fields
binding  nothingness together.

The U.S.A. likes Crazy, Incompetent and Swinger Presidents Apparently

 President Biden's international policy of supporting protracted war with Russia via Ukraine seems to continue to be ramping up toward nuclear conflict. Recently he green lighted F-16s for Ukraine's Air Force and is training the pilots in the U.S.A. Along with HIMARS missiles, cluster bombs and lethal drones as well as intelligence from satellites etc President Biden has gone full in for some time to defeat Russia militarily in Ukraine and areas it has reclaimed as part of historical Russia formally. The high risk of nuclear was with the very least a divided east-west economic alignment while global warming is increasing and reinforcing itself as it does via more water vapor that is itself a greenhouse gas rising into the sky from warmer oceans and air simply is not rational policy. The United States of course is willing to accept that, or at half of the voters are, while the other half would seemingly support Donald Trump who is the Democrat's best argument for re-electing President Biden. Donald Trump is a slouch at reducing global warming although he apparently would supporting ending the war on terms Russia could accept and that might lead to a reunified planetary economy.

I am not happy with two quite elderly candidates leading the Presidential race- and no one can doubt that President Trump's reelection campaign wasn't full of good new ideas or energy and was instead a reflection on how great the nation was. He seemed to feel that everyone understood how great he is and his re-election was a shoe-in. His response to the election loss was characteristic of his ego that is equal in a different way to Joe Biden's and was if not criminal, less than desirable. Mr. Trump is a better choice than Joe Biden for the reasons of war and the role of Mr. Biden as a global warming spoiler who doesn't actually get much done to fix the issue. Not that a single Democrat candidate in 2016 had a good environmental economic plant to completely change the way humans do economics starting in the U.S.A.--that is what the world needs now.

Democrats and NPR promote racism and seem to disrespect art as an occupation, or at least writers that are self-employed and artists-for-themselves crafting nice stories. Race conflict is easy to fan and distracts voters from solvable issues and the idea that tax increases on the rich or reforming economic practices might be a good idea. The prospect of either Joe Biden or Donald Trump being elected is demoralizing. One knows that atmospheric heating will increase and political b.s. will prevail as normal if a nuclear war doesn't occur.

Regarding Russia; its leader is bound to pursue policy that restores its historical boundaries-anyone elected President would need to do so. In order to bring Russia and China back to the fold the United States needs to end the war by recognizing Russian ownership of Ukraine and portions of Eastern Ukraine. Within five year os that kind of ending a normal economic situation could be restored. Especially if a free trade zone existed instead of a DMZ between the two nations east and west business would flourish their locally even if no one has a post-war ecological economic plan that would have no fossil fuels being released into the atmosphere from the area.

The war will end eventually and it is important to not only end the war, it is also the preferred alternative to have a warm peace rather than a Cold War after a cease fire and perhaps armistice. Intelligent leaders would understand the utility and value in that, the sooner the better.

Trump on his way to Fulton County Jail ( video)

 Interesting questions that specialists in relevant legal matters could answer; could Donald Trump sue Fulton County prosecutors for frivolous charges regarding the 2020 Presidential election if their case collapses easily or if a Federal Appeals Court overturned a possible conviction on all 18 charges?

https://www.foxnews.com/live-news/donald-trump-fulton-county-jail-georgia-indictment

Should there be some sort of Federal oversight of charges concerning federal elections- maybe a Minority Report Prepeals Court, before state courts hear cases in order to checkmate specious, politically motivated charges in one move before a tedious 130 move court marathon moves its way through courts and media during an election cycle?  Do state charges against a political candidate a priori interfere with elections and should that be legal and acceptable social and political conduct?




Cap and Trade is Smoke and Mirrors

The cap and trade policy to rectify the over-emission of greenhouse gases seems to be a convenient way to let the rich continue polluting practices through straw man methods of diverting attention from their dirty practices.

 Humanity hasn't a pervasive surfeit of good judgment or intellect. There are brilliant inventors that produce new technology and billions of followers that use it. Once the technology exists the users believe it to be existentially kosher as received technology from an advanced civilization (their own) that is the embodiment of Hegel's notion that the German state is the highest form of Spirit evolving to realize itself in history. For those users any challenge to its value to society including negative impacts on global warming is equal to economic heresy. The thoughtless will be idling their large truck motors in driveways adding greenhouse gases until it is too warm for gasoline powered vehicles without the tanks blowing up.

Emissions into the atmosphere that are greenhouse gases needed be measured directly, quantifiably and as point sources without Byzantine policies pointing away from the reality before them via cap and trade to the benefits somewhere else at an undisclosed or known location over there. Land that is wild or health ecologically speaking need be conserved and increased in its own regard without being attached via cap and trade to a business hostage relationship.

Directly tax to extinction large greenhouse sources and zone laws to reinforce existing wilderness and plan good policy to increase it. Cap and trade is a way for the rich to feel good about themselves flying in private jets globally. It isn’t a policy that ordinary American automobile drivers will ever use. Even Air Force One burns 4,600 gallons of fuel per hour–couldn’t the brilliant Biden administration puppeteers innovate a better way to travel?

Bits of Light (poem)

 

More than a speck of dust
each of an infinity of planets
where life could grow
and merge to know

Of a wealth of divine plans
For the benefit of man
With one life timed
fortunes of fate sing the chorus

Quanta and gluons
Fused with sparks of light
Earth where being emerged
Spans in gravity through the night

In the midst of forevers
outside entropy’s shadows
beyond the nothingness of nevers
the Earthy silence glows.

Reflections of Rejections (the poem)

 

In the mud puddle rejection glimmered
while another new thought awoke
a parchment place for a script  began to simmer
inspiring an author’s next joke

  Everything was doomed with original sin
no story was good from any striving man
where were the words to clear the rejection bin
what could be known of plain divine plans

  Square pegs in round holes
with such is victory assured
my way and highways
winning can’t be demurred

    And yet rejections rocket
like crumbling cliffs time assured
trust in breaking composite sprockets
stanzas and paragraphs so pure

  Hope in the Lord before life fades away
papers dropped float in troubles
alive to fight another sunny day
Jacob learned of mankind’s skill making rubble.

A Ron DeSantis Term ; Better than the Biden Agenda?

 


Republican Presidential candidate Ron DeSantis has a few qualifications other candidates don’t in 2024 yet are they meaningful? As captain of the Yale baseball team four years his batting average was .336 and in one year he hit 44 home runs. As a captain in the Navy he attended the JAG college for lawyers and worked with a Navy Seal Team as a legal adviser.

Military understanding through experience can be a useful piece of training for a President who must be the commander in chief of the nation. Mr. DeSantis apparently did okay working in Iraq since he received a Bronze Star for the service.

As an alum of Harvard and Yale he understands the Ivy League and eastern establishment yet doesn’t actually seem like one of the establishment types like the Obama’s, Bushes and Clintons, Bidens etc although G.W. Bush was somewhat more Texas than Washington D.C. DeSantis is intelligent enough, perhaps more than enough, to be President while still understanding ordinary people. Being elected twice to be the Governor of Florida supports the notion that he has some experience administering the law of a populous state.

Democrats have elected lawyers to the White House three times in a row and thereafter the nation became heavily in debt, divided politically and racism was encouraged while the idea of hate speech led to de facto censorship in social media. Donald Trump as President has struggled with the problems of being a target of Democrat legal maneuvers. Mr. Trump isn’t a lawyer and draws lawsuits and charges like flies with his volatile discourse. Much of his time in office was devoted to legal defense against Democrat legal offensives like the Russian collusion adventure. Republicans could stand to have a competent lawyer in the Presidency in order to sort things out.

Sure it would be great to have a great environmental economist with military experience and the idea of taxing the rich enough to eliminate poverty , resurrect environmental health and end the Ukraine war well enough to assure that it won’t recur and Russians can do business with the U.S.A. again. It’s rare to find a perfect candidate though.has

No Better Idea (a poem)

 

The animals war in the heat and mud
was over food, cilia moving power
labels on soup cans rotting away
motivations to be and become
victors while rain fell
dreary drizzles with grey clouds
dominating pain’s sharp breaths
the poet classified as allied agony’s
friends with friends first
before foes could live without gun shots
cluster-bombs scattering body parts
social classes structured
stratified demolition of reason
for the heat and mud
with buildings crumbling
like the opportunity of day
when night falls.

Deep Space Question Mark Could be Tip-of-the-Iceberg

 The appearance of a vast right-wing question mark in deep space discovered by the James Webb Space telescope during its five-year mission to seek out and discover strange punctuation marks possible left by extraterrestrials has given jitters to those that don't believe the Lakers will win the N.B.A. title next year. There is no reason to worry though when the question mark may be interpreted scientifically as a sign to wonder about.

Special expert Sheryl Luna said the question mark could be intentional misdirection to cover up dark matter impacts on gravity repulsed by dark energy to extra dimensions-possible more than several thousand; a government could be supplying aliens with enough weapons to defend themselves gainst the loss of gravitons across whole parsecs of deep space.

Former aspiring astronaut-artiste-candidate for mayor of Bidansky Eddie Rivers considered the question mark in light of quantum configuration criteria pertaining to authorized cosmology and determined the mark is best employed as a 'standard candle' to measure the distance the aliens are from finding there way home to the lost civilization of the federation of nations with balanced budgets.

The Desert Space (poem)

 

Gradient illuminating sight
unlike darkest night
just before dawn
when sunlight rises
with a world colored
for a few hours
a sense of peace passing through
then is gone.

The U.S.A. Shouldn't Provide Military Support to Ukraine

 There is unlikely to be global stability until the U.S. recognizes Russia's historical ownership of the Crimea and eastern Ukraine. Russia is trying to assert its historical boundaries suppressed by the Soviets and dittoed by the Clinton-Obama-Biden leadership. Degradation of the Arctic littoral environmentally, a divided east-west economic world order, piling up U.S. public debt, non-cooperation against terrorism- just so western arms dealers and ideologues of the Democrat Party establishment can have an obsolete, perennial, Orwellian-like war to prop up a paranoid Europe. The war is senseless, stupid and should be ended by a right-thinking Republican candidate for President if elected.

Election Interference of State's Rights in Georgia?

Georgia’s case against former President Trump on 13 felony counts related to trying to swing the bad presidential election vote total his way is of course part of the general Democrat Party hatred of all things pertaining to Donald Trump. Mr. Trump himself declared the prosecutor to be left wing, and that is the paradox.

Democrats tend to identify President Trump and his supporters as the far right and tend to exaggerate any sort of political charge against Republicans. The January 6th protest wasn’t a Tienanmen Square quelled by tanks-it is being taken apart post hoc by vindictive Democrats. Democrats persecuted President Trump with a majority in the House by investigating a demonstrably false collusion with Russia to swing votes or steal the election of 2016 and later with the impeachment vote.

The prosecution of Donald Trump and eighteen others defends state’s rights against federal interference. That’s the paradox; that a southern black female prosecutor- Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis- would be defending state’s rights in Georgia against a white northerner (well, for most of his life Trump was a New Yorker) that felt a need to get help or at least to admonish Georgia election officials to count all of the votes honestly. Mr. Trump might not have pressured Georgia election officials to the extent that Al Gore, G.W. Bush and legions of lawyers pressurized Florida officials in counting votes in the 2000 Presidential election yet he did apparently ask some state personnel to make sure the election was honest so far as I know about it (and that isn’t much).

State’s rights pushing back against Federal pressure and overreach is an old sore spot in the states that even became fuel for the civil war. Maybe the Proud Boys and the Georgia prosecution team will find themselves on the same page about that.

Sentience and Evolution Differ

Human sentience rise far above the form of evolution that inheres within nature; therefore humanity in a real sense may be said not to evolve as much as to be self-determining. Evolution is natural sequential change of mass subject to the laws of thermodynamics. Time is evolving matter measured by human sentience in an orderly progress at a constant rate of change. Albert Einstein informed humanity that time and space are united and differ in rate of change from one place to another, or if one is in motion or at rest. Evolution is the change of mass observed by sentient beings when its molecular and atomic structures change with interaction and thermodynamics. Mass in various fields may change within structured parameters in regard to its material of composition and forces acting on it. Humans with sentience have placed themselves apart from natural forces of evolution and the pace of non-sentient animate and inanimate matter to a significant degree.

It became fashionable during the Obama administration for politicians to say that their point of view was evolving. Evolution as a popular theory and explanation was taken to encompass human behavior too even including government. G.W.F. Hegel believed evolution was being done by a spirit that was coming to realize itself in history and further that the German government was the highest evolved state. The United States today with 31 trillion dollars of public debt and running the ending of the Cold War in reverse has demonstrated the silliness of Hegel’s thesis from The Phenomenology of Mind that a government could be the highest form of evolution.

It is alternatively possible that material evolution occurs with a small part of the mind of God within and infinite Multiverse with variegated mechanics perhaps also given some sort of orderly progressive structure in order to accomplish some teleological destiny. Though God may know all things before they exist and the end state of every possible Universe before its creation He may yet have some reason to let self-awareness arise for individual sentient beings existing within one of His Universes. Mass arises from energy interacting with fields and sentient minds are embedded within mass with an evolved state with select configurations to support it.

Sentient minds arise from an evolving Universe yet are superior to it qualitatively speaking if no morally. Morally people are in a fallen state as they are subject to the thermodynamic fields in which they exist. That desire for more energy and food as mass along with procreative drives brings them to sin exist other people existing as material objects-in-themselves too. Mind may try to subdue and control thermodynamic drives yet they are ubiquitous and ever-present too-even if just a desire for water to quench thirst. When a Democratic form of government elects leaders that promote evolution as a rationale for governance they are employing and excuse for elites to disregard the advise and consent voluntarily for of governance with the consent of the governed for an elitist ethic that excuses anything at all as just evolution. Democratic governments are not evolving entities-they are instead stable, representative bodies following stable rules assuring equal protection of well understood and just laws for all citizens. That is quite different from an imperialistic pursuit of advantage fr elites or cliches and special classes with the prevailing ethic that anything is OK if you can get away with it.

Lawmakers and chief law enforcement officers should not treat laws and a democratic constitution as a malleable tool for evolving unfair advantages for special interests if they have the opportunity to do so, or gaming the constitution to let one’s proprietary laws be implemented and efforts to make subsequent changes to those laws illegal to bring about.

It is wrong for politicians and media elites to pretend that evolution is a good or even necessary reason for abandonment of human ethics and government standards that are plain, open and just. The human mind and human democratic or republic governments are made by and for humans apart from the thermodynamic challenges for natural evolution although they be cognizant of it. Human political representatives have responsibilities that cannot and should not be obscure through the smokescreen of evolution paradigmata. Post hoc it is fine for historians to note that governments have ‘evolved’ over time in response to external challenges or social corruption ad of course rarely in response to rare political wisdom donated by some one or few benefactors of society. In real time it is simply wrong to excuse corruption and bad governance with the rubric of evolution.

A Shame to Call that an Insurrection

 It was an historically comparatively wussy insurrection

It was of special utility for Democrat party leaders and media to promote the January 6 mass protests of election results to the level of insurrection. The mass protest of innumerable facets of Democrat party conduct during and even before the Trump administration reached a crescendo on the 6th of January. The protest was like countless others of Black Lives Matter protests to those of the Vietnam War and 1968 Democrat Party National Convention in Chicago that led to a minority element rioting and breaking in to buildings. Even protests on Wall Street during the 2008-9 financial meltdown led to buildings being illegally occupied and spurred an Occupy Wall Street movement. The January 6 events was of a similar ilk that was a priori entirely predictable. Tthe fact that it was in Washington D.C. at the national capitol meant the immediate building object of wrath of the demonstrators was the capitol building. It was a protest rather than one of the wussiest insurrections in world history.

During the years of the Trump administration the Democrat Party methodically upgraded its political attacks on the President of the United States beginning with the false charges of his collusion with Russia to win the 2016 election to the eventual impeachment. The enmity was exceptional so it was no surprise that Democrats took the opportunity to maximize accusations against the President and his supporters. People that Hillary Clinton named the reprehendsibles were morphed into the insurrectionists.

Plainly some very few reprehendsibles would have liked to put stretch ties on Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and even tar and feather them; that doesn’t make it an insurrection even if some would revolt and establish a dictatorship of Donald, a Spartan Republic led by philosopher kings, a whites only nation led by Casper the Hangman, a Utopian democracy with liberty and justice for all where the U.S.A. is great again replete with new episodes of the twilight zone and the Outer Limits each week or a purge of the Illuminati from the Deep State. Every collection of tens of thousands of political protesters has non-representative extremists in rather than a collective political consciousness uniformity of all sharing the same political motivation and beliefs. They are of a heterodox rather than a homologous composition.

Real insurrections are usually bloody affairs were people use things like guns to try to seize power. On January 5th not a single shot was fired by the protesters. Everyone and their brothers know the power of the U.S. Government is backed by the full support of those sworn to defend the constitution in the military and that no occupation in the capitol would result in a change of government comprising a revolution. In a nation with more than 500 mass shootings annually, actual insurrectionists attempting a revolt would have been able to manage to kill more than a policeman accidently or emergently squashed to death in a door by the pressure of a mob pushing on it..

Propaganda values of media repetition of the term insurrection ad nauseam would condition the masses to actually believe that the magic dragon actually existed behind the cloud of smoke and mirrors that is Democrat Party propaganda. With the Commander in Chief in charge of the military the notion that Donald Trump sought to employ the protesters as revolutionaries is completely absurd. President Trump’s appointees to Sec Def sometimes resigned; the Pentagon wasn’t stacked with Generals itching to support a Trump led Dictatorship or Junta with Donald Trump as leader. President Trump and most of the January 6 protesters were well aware that even if they blocked the capitol from being the site where electoral college certification of the election would happen by occupying it that it would only be a temporary delay since the Congress could meet anywhere it wanted to accomplish certification including Anchorage Alaska.

And why should President Trump have reacted swiftly to reinforce the security of the Democrats in Congress that had persecuted him since 2015? Mr. Trump is only human and it is not unreasonable to expect a politician not to be too swift to protect one’s political enemies that had recently impeached him though he wasn’t convicted by the Senate. Jesus Christ might have taught to love one’s enemies (“Father, forgive them for they know not what they do”) yet he wouldn’t have been in office anyway as he said render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s and unto God the things that are God’s; worldly political power isn’t Godly even though God may predestine particular office holders to His own unknowable purposes (a comic break?’-”What is wisdom for man is foolishness to God”).

At some point one day the nation may return to honest politics with less sensationalism to simply reconcile themselves to a balanced budget, the elimination of poverty, secure borders and a restoring ecosystem with a more egalitarian distribution of wealth. In the meantime it is the lunacy of Democrat Party thought control extremists that shapes the nation’s political zeitgeist.

It is a mistake to debase the meaning of insurrection in order to support the convenient use-truth political values of one’s party. Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols were an insurrection of two, the late Ted Kuzinsky was an insurrection of one; he cared enough about the nation’s environmental situation to target and kill corporate officers that he felt did not meet his standards of environmental responsibility. Unlike most Americans he must have felt that the preferred revolutionary act of electing someone of one’s own party instead of that was the opposition wasn’t capable of saving the environment and world of anthropic degradation of the environment to the point where life on Earth is no longer humanly possible. Americans always reserve the right to revolt against corrupt, oppressive and ineffective and unresponsive government in some way or other, it is in their genes. That does not always mean they have the will or good sense to do so when it is actually necessary to preserve a perfect union.

The founders of the U.S.A. had sentiments that might as well have been informed by Kant’s categorical imperative wherein one should act as if one’s moral and ethical choices could be made into a universal law. It is plain that the Democrat party leaders aren’t always or even usually following that maxim. The January 6 Wussy Insurrection is not only history written by the victors, it is history written by liars.

The Field Expedient Method (a poem)

 

  Seeking after perfection
with lines of poetry
perfectly formed

  Clearing a blockage
choking the trochee
wit a jolt upon a stump

  The field expedient method
truncates verse, rhyme and stanzas
budding, each leaf is a poem

Like artificial intelligence
in the stomach of creativity
issued wing forth perfect  gas clouds

  Duplicates without flaws are perfect
replicas of things for-themselves
being themselves as they were

War's aesthetic judgments
of battlefield's gestalt Napoleon thought perfect
while a Colonel regarded horror.
