Nothing funny is needed everyday when there is politics available. Ophrah Winfree acting as a front man for Barrack Obama at a campaign rally pumped up the crowd with a rousing speech about Obama includin the gem 'he has an ear for eloquence and a tongue dipped in things without varnish and that are truthful'. That makes me wonder what other things he has dipped his tongue in on the campaign trail and if truth is unquestionable if used for dippin? What have the other candidates dipped their tongues in and did they get chips with it?
The campaign trail for the Iowa primary leading to the 2008 Presidential election should have a universal tongue dipping truth test set up to discover which candidate really has the most truthfully dipping tongue and ear that has listened to the Oprah Show. What candidate juggles the best anyway?
On a campaign platform at the bus station in Des Moines could be placed several bowls full of everything from horseradish to cherry pudding. Candidates would need to dip their tongue into each bowl and then choose from a multiple choice menu of what was what. The candidate answering with the most right answers identifying what was in each bowl truthfully could then be said to have 'dipped his tongue in a bowl of truth without varnish.' Varnish incidentally was something Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer painted a fence with long ago in Hannibal Missouri; or on second thought wasn't it whitewash?
If a politician or political supporter claims to speak truth for content turn on the b.s. detector immediately! Each politician can only state meaningful political goals and methods-the claims about linguistics might work for Chomsky but not for politicians generally. Not even Bill Clinton could claim that tongue dippin exclusively of truth characteristic.
The trouble with celebrity product endorsements (politicians as products) is that political candidates with enhanced ratings from celebrity testimonials tend to become products desired by M.B.A.'s and C.E.O.'s of trans-national corporations seeking to undermine national sovereignty.
The Democratic Party has one candidate-John Edwards has a net worth of 9 to 45 million dollars according to some sources made litigating against trans-national corporations starting in life from scratch as a poor Carolina guy from a small town. As President Edwards would not be intimidated by the trans-national corporations that need to be reigned in a bit for the survival of a national democracy. John Edwards climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro in 2003.

Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama are trans-nationally safe and the preferred choices of the globalists. In the Republican Party Ron Paul is the spoiler from Texas set up to drain off any non-trans-national supportvotes in a swale to nowhere. For Republicans Huckabee seems to be the only candidate besides Hunter that might be nationalist and populist a little.

Epistemological Cosmology
Philosophical researches in determinism for me at least lead empirically into support for faith in God and His pre-determinism of the Universe.
C.S. Pierce's trialectical pragmaticism was an interesting hypothetical model for the nominative invention of concepts, yet subjective epistemology isnt simply trialectical in space-time nor entirely a linear function. Modern neurology has investigated and mapped a little bit of the synaptic channels and sequence of that neural network.
Small worlds networks originated with an air force plan to develop a nuclear war survivable command and control network and subsequent history has found the Internet to have a small worlds network structure and nature in general to develop such itself not uncommonly. Language and concept development seems to transcend and particular temporal arrangement of conceptual structure for a number of reasons.
Chomsky's ideas of a universal grammer have been challenged rather well by the Everett's research in South America, and make for interesting reading anyway. It may be useful to consider Wittgenstein's Blue and Brown books for contrast on on the subject of Chomskian versus Everettian linguistic deep structures.
On the general question of determinism versus indeterminism in the physical cosmos represented to empiricists it is worth mentioning its exceedingly high level of determinism from the initial hyperinflaton and the later distribution of galaxies correlating to the initial anisotropies in the surviving preponderance of matter over anti-matter because of a symmetry surplus of matter in CP violation I think to the reduction of the background temperature of the Universe from very very high toward absolute zero as well as it's near isotropic distribution with minor inhomogeneities around the measurable Universe. The Universe moves with inexorable determinism from a lowest state of entropy toward a highest and the distribution of matter in the Universe and its characteristics reflect that determinism.
Quantum uncertainty underlying the Universe is a paradox yet a necessary component of the implicit uncertainty required for change and motion, being and becoming. The uncertainty in this universe may be determined in alternate dimensions however, and virtual particles may reflect the intrusion of alternate dimension particles in all possible worldlines and all possible universes interacting deterministically in this particular Universe. In a multi-dimensional monism the pluralism of alternate Universes and dimensions may like the paintings of Malcom Escher as reciprocals of one function or schema.
Interestingly rational and spiritual human thought seem to be the most potentially indeterminate element of the Universe, and its realizing the nature of The One (such as is God) humanity may at once become most free , undetermined yet pre-determined through the grace of Jesus Christ unto renormalization with the Author of all that is.
P.F. Strawson and W.V.O. Quine wrote a few good books on logic and linguistic philosophy, yet Schopenhauer's ideas that go a little beyond Kant's epistemology in finding that human cognition must interpret sense data and does add something to it to make it appear as it does is a useful way to integrate ideas of Plotinus about the One, about appearances to human perceptions, Sartre's ideas about existential epistemology and the reef of solipsism phenomenalities that have concerned philosophers perennial about the subjective nature of human experience in a theory of knowledge.

Romney, Bias and Mormon Flummery
Clarence Page wrote a piece about Mitt Romney and Mormonism and why the Iowa Huckabee surge in the polls may be in part a result of 'anti-Mormon bias'. Mr. Page points out maladroitly that the founders were for religious toleration and that for voters to not vote for candidates with religious practices anti-pathetic to their own is a form of intolerance and bias or even prejudice.
Clarence Page, a usually good writer on political affairs has blundered in this instance into the snare of political correctness that all religious practices and beliefs are without substance and equivalent in the algebra of politics-they are not. Mr. Page has accepted the wrong political belief that a Christian should vote for a Satanist because it would not has as much meaning as advocating that an American that would not have voted for a communist candidate in the 1950's was biased against communism and that the founders would not have intolerance for people because of their personal social or economic beliefs. There are real and substantial differences in religion, economics and social beliefs that affect what a candidate would do if he were in political office-to say that a candidate sets his religion and social beliefs aside upon taking office and just does the political engineering is b.s.
The founders were for religious tolerance and for keeping the church out of state to the extent that no theocracy would form, yet they did not prefer to be ruled by extremists of any sort and preferred a majority reflecting candidate generally. In the first 184 years of the nations existence no one besides a nominal protestant at least ever got the job of Presidency. It wasn't that the founders just didn't care-they did and so did every generation of American voters since.
Mr. Romney is a hardened trans-nationalist that will continue to support the erosion of in the interests of the people of the United States if elected President. Mr. Romney's extra-terrestrial universal religious beliefs are very unChristian and for Christians would represent the first rule by a non-Christian in the nation's history. For Christians of many sorts that coincides with a period of a decline in the nation's relationship with God, and that could indicate more troubles ahead of Biblical scale.
If elected President Mr. Romney would undoubtedly contribute to the strength of Mormon evangelistic efforts and Mormon wealth in America and abroad, at a time of global questions about religion and society the minority Mormonist practices and beliefs would not help clarify the basic issues to the world. Mr. Romney is the wrong foot to put forward with the indefensible polytheistic character of the cult in the context of global Mohammedanism and its belief in one God. For Mr. Page and many new agers the religious issues is a detached from reality abstract question of no consequence. Mr. Page even compared it to the Shi's-Sunni differences as something to avoid. He believes in error perhaps that there is no social historical basis for that particular animosity and that it is an abstract theologically based argument instead-in error. Dividing American leadership up into a myriad faithless, abominable modes is the wrong way for the nation to go in 2008. A simple faith in God, reflecting a Christian majority with secular work for a humanitarian and intellectually free and progressive populace with secure borders, a balanced budget, optimism about the future, space colonization and personal and public religious tolerance is the way to go. It will take tough love and patience presenting a rational and right Christian ethic for America to move forward with assurance through the world's troubles ahead. The rosy utopia of a global economic false democracy or in fact corporatism will not mature for a number of reasons into a democratic fact that would do anything but repress the U.S.A. and create tyranny abroad.
The code words of political correctness often run rough-shod over meaningfully accurate history of causes and reasons why people have made political choices. The reason why Americans never elected a Catholic President before John F. Kennedy are a case in point of over-simplifying history in order to support a political cause.
The founders of the United States were revolutionaries against big government, over-centralized authority and foreign rule. Not only were they against King George they were to a substantial measure dissidents from the Church of England. They would not support Catholic rule either, for Catholicism had historical roots of association with Imperial rule in Europe that continued in Mexico, Latin America and other colonial areas of the world. Nor until the Mexican revolution did Hapsburg power become finally disassociated from our neighbor to the south. Concerns about a Catholic President's historical association with imperial rule and even the inquisition would not have faded away quickly from the political concerns of enlightened American voters.
The Index was a corollary of the Inquisition that listed people the Catholic Church considered it's enemies. The Index had many of the enlightenment, reformation and renaissances greatest intellectuals and leaders upon it-and the Index was officially in existence until John F. Kennedy was elected in 1960 at which time it was retired quietly centuries after the inquisition ended.
Catholics in then United States had a different role today as Christians and Americans that may merge into even the White House if they can support U.S. democracy and nationalism rather than trans-nationalism that is pervasively corrupting the security of the United States. Only through majority mergers politically speaking with nationally minded protestants and priesthood of believers independent Christians will the United States survive the expanding polytheism and anti-Christian real-politik of much of the globes commercial and communist elites.

Homos Choose Atheism to Avoid Conviction of Sin?
Denial of sin and denial of God are two common points of homosexual militants.
Is homo 'marriage' an example of macro-social immune system attack?
One must wonder if homo 'marriage' efforts in the various states isn't a sort of social immunology attack. Homosexuality unfortunately may be a genetic defect that in the modern world may not be curable yet may be correctable enough to allow homos to lead normal lives.
It would be a substantive social error to let the social disease destroy society or become a protracted major influence upon degradation of the health of the social structure. Historically the decline and fall of civilizations may be marked by the rise in decadent homosexual lifestyles in society.
Society of course has unnumerable ways of over-reacting to social issues of concern, and generally in finding ways to maladroitly correct social concerns and that probably will not change.
Homosexuality is plainly a grave sin in a Biblical moral context, yet the effect upon society of homosexual corruption of meanings of moral and political issues in order to provide camoflage in some sort of social struture made for heterosexuals are some of the reasons why societies decline, and why nature leads to the downfall of perverse societies perhaps.
Choosing the atheist path or seeking to corrupt the truth of the Bible about the doom of homosexuals and other unrepentent sinners will not be of help to the lost on the day of judgment. One hopes that at least a few of the lost homos struggling in turmoil or confusion in-the-world will find their way to God through the Son Jesus Christ who shed His blood for the remission of the sin of those of faith.
Even the context of philosophy is corrupted by the life-long desire of some homosexuals to move society toward a more homo-affinity structure. Homosexuality and issues pertaining to it's political prosyletation aren't hardly worth a damn philosophically speaking.

Muhammadans Rage Against the Teddy Bear Naming
Raging Muslims demanded death for naming a teddy bear Muhammad in the Sudan recently. An innocent British school marm let a student name the stuffed animal after himself-Muhammad receiving a conviction, jail sentence and deportation order. Angry Sudanese protested demanding a death sentence providing evidence that if it is a lunatic fringe that is radical in Muhammadanism it is a lunatic fringe lurking just below the surface as a consequence of Muhammedan indoctrination.
http://www.abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=3940765&page=1
The Sudan probably doesn't even have many bears, and giving a teddy bear probably teaches wrong ecological conservation values making them 'bear huggers'. Traditional Muslim caining for naming anything Muhammed- a blaspheming, might have been less bad. Fortunately the teacher may get out of Sudan alive perhaps to value the life experience of seriously underestimating the nature of Muhammadism. Luckily she didn;t give the kids anything like Sherrie Lewis' 'Lambchops' and said it was 'is-lamb', the Lamb of God or anything like that.. Muhammedans can get livid with rage about misunderstanding what is-lamb means as the perfect example of submission to the will of God.
"There may be moderate Muslims, but Islam itself is not moderate. There is no difference between Islam and Islamic fundamentalism. At most there is a difference of degree but not of kind."-Ibn Warraq, executive director of the Institute for the Secularization of Islamic Society
http://nowscape.com/islam/islam.htm
Muhammad was the son of the keeper of pagan statues at the Kabba of Mecca. Muhammad improved upon his father's business inventing a synthetic unified Christian-Judaic religion tailor made for war. Mohammed's scholarship was bad yet the illiterate warriors readily accepted his creed of war in monotheistic dress. The smell of empires ripe for the plucking was on the wind...
Muhammadanism at its high tide invading Europe from the South, east and west had plundered its way across North Africa, invaded Sicily, attacked Rome, sent a fleet to assault Constantinople, occupied Spain in a bloody war lasting centuries with the costly reconquista continuing until the last of the Moors were sent back across the Straits of Gibraltar in 1492 and set upon a centuries long attack upon the Byzantine civilization. The entire Muhammadan conquest was done at the point of the sword with entire peoples ruthlessly subjugated and alternative multi-cultural values deleted. In the zone of war or Dar al Harb the Muhammadan crusades to conquer the free world was prosecuted without mercy upon hapless disorganized peoples until an anti-crusading crusade of European reaction developed to fight the tide of Muhammadan doom. Has the fundamental warrior syncretism of the Umma/Ummayad Empire changed in the stagnant dark ages of the post-Abbasid empire collapse? May any non-Jihhadist Muhammadan be anything more than a lapsed Muhammadan interested more in worldliness than suicide bombing his or herself back t perennial hell and a status lower than worms for eons...the dichotomy of Dar al harb and Dar al Islam is an implicit structural element of the globalist world-view expressed today in in transnational Arab oil policies and in their court and fossil fuel sycophants denying global warming, environmental mass extinctions and the peril of federal deficit spending for western civilization.
"Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection."-quote from the Koran K 9:029 Set 38, Count 101
Muhammadanism functions in an intelligence vacuum that well serves expansion amidst pagan and third world peoples. It disregards the truth of Jesus Christ, the complex theological concepts of the nature of God and triune beingness in One to market and proselytize the masses with just God for-himself. While there is just one God, the protocol of God is plural comparable to the Universe itself-while there is one Universe there are many things in it. God emanates reality for-others, and Jesus Christ is His way to return humanity unto Himself, while the Spirit of God is the divine essence leading humanity through the vicissitudes of life and turns of pre-determinism. The blind push of the son of the keeper of the many religions centered at Mecca and the Kaba named Muhammad was and is a political power conquest oriented program developed with malinterpretations of Christianity and of Judaism. It is worth comprehending the faults in Muhammad's syncretism in order to understand its strengths and discover how it may be a tool to lead many of the people of the world through bringing them unto God through Jesus Christ as their personal savior.
Muhammadanism hasn't a developed notion of sin and believes humanity may relate directly to God. God is perfect while humanity is fallen. The saving grace of Jesus Christ is the sole way to bridge the gap separating man and God. The divine economy has a universal debt for humanity that only Jesus Christ could pay for; Muhammedism fails to get beyond the basics of montheistic concepts, although in his synthetic religion developed in the decadent era of the Byzantine civilization and vacuum of power after the collapse of the western Roman Empire and Gothic invasions of North Africa the opportunistic Muhammadist expansion served to stimulate the emergence of Europe from the dark ages through its need to defend against the scimitar and Damascus steel.

'164 Jihad verses in the Koran'
It may be that Muhammed was the false prophet mentioned in Biblical eschatology, or not...there may be another. It is likely that Muhammedism was in some way part of God's plan, perhaps as a comparison of the Christian and ancient Greek cultures
Prehistoric Greek culture was much like that of the balance of the land north of the Europus; savage. It was only though millennia that settlements allowed the constructions of societies to develop that bring more intense cultural development and social order. The Minoan culture was the first to arrive in Greece and bring a written language and culture concatenated from the ancient civilizations of the south. The Minoan cultures demise was sudden as it's home islands were obliterated except for that of Crete in a Krakatoa like explosion circa 1500 B.C. A local civilization followed-that of Agamemnon and Trojan legends, yet mankind was still led by oppressive royal societies as its best form of governance except in Ur, circa 2000 B.C. God called Abraham out of Babylon and into the desert and Israel in a relationship destined to bring about the major change in human history-a government by a transcendent God of love and respect for mankind by one another, though human original sin would make them fall short of achieving perfection even of democracy.
Classical Greece embodied the contradictions of mankind's relations with itself. A cluster of city states each with a different form of government developed bring them to war incessantly with each other. Athen's and its limited franchise democracy one out and had a league of Delos over-taxing the resources of the other members to pay for things like building the Parthenon. Sparta declared war on Athens after its completion and began the end of classical Greece.
Sparta was the worst of Greek government development with a homosexual butch elite warrior caste annihilating any social order besides war and training for war. Sparta created nothing lasting for posterity except some military victories of dubious necessity. Greek, known by Greeks as Hellas, in Sparta provide slaves named helots to serve of interest of the arrested social order of warriors. It would take the Roman Republic to actualize the society unifying Athenian and Spartan government values to perfect the idea of a Republic.
Servility and savagery are each opposed to democratic individualism...
Tacitas wrote of German society in the first century...
"25. The rest of their slaves have not, like ours, particular employments in the family allotted them. Each is the master of a habitation and household of his own. The lord requires from him a certain quantity of grain, cattle or cloth, as from a tenant; and so far only the subjection of the slave extends.21 Hid domestic offices are performed by his own wife and children. It is usual to scourge a slave, or punish him with chains or hard labor. They are sometimes killed by their masters; not through severity of chastisement, but in the heat of passion, like an enemy; with this difference, that it is done with impunity.22 Freedmen are little superior to slaves; seldom filling any important office in the family; never in the state, except in those tribes which are under regal government.23 There, they rise above the free-born, and even the nobles: in the rest, the subordinate condition of the freedmen is a proof of freedom." http://www.unrv.com/tacitus/tacitusgermania.php
European society needed to be lifted out of it's savage paganism over the next millennium...Muhammadan cultureswas a raging lion seeking to devour setting it's will for predation to Europe.
Decadent imperialism followed the Roman Republic, yet Christian culture flourished to provide a unity to stand against the invasions of the Umayyad Empire under the false prophet Muhammad. Pope Gregory led a defense against the Umayyad crusades of invasion of Europe that reached Rome, France and the Aegean Islands. Christianity was the motivating cultural element that led Europe out of the pagan re-civilized social structures and into first the imperial structure and then with the reformation and the Dewitt Brothers democratic revolution in Holland into the world's first general government for the masses movement in the form of democracy. While the papacy had become corrupted by worldliness fr a time, it moved Martin Luther, Zwingli, Calvin, Knox and others to form independent and general literacy so people could read the Bible in their own language for themselves...God's teleos had drawn mankind out of a planet of the apes and into one moving to democratic individualism.
Christian movement reflected in ensuing mirrored democratic movements against imperial rule from Rome. Christianity was the motive for invention of the printing press by Gutenberg in 1440.
Christianity is a living culture founded upon a transcendent faith in Jesus Christ and the grace of God; ancient Greek culture is dead. Ancient Greek culture, or cultures more accurately are one of the great research subjects of archeology however beginning more than 25,000 years ago with excavations done at the Francthi cave in the neolithic period of hunters moving through the ages to farmers and the emergence of Minoan culture centered at the island of Thera/Santorini before its end with the apocalypse of volcanism giving rise to the legends of Atlantis.
Jesus Christ ended the pagan era of humanity substituting atoning and renewing spiritual faith in the Absolute post-temporal creator of temporality and much more. The Christian culture began with the physical appearance of Jesus Christ on Earth with His birth in Bethlehem circa October, 3 B.C. The laws of God were then written on the hearts and minds of believers as the prophet Jeremiah had related they would be centuries before. Christian culture brought the end of animal sacrifice and misguided beliefs in inanimate objects as gods. The spiritual draft of Jesus Christ was the central cohering element in the rise of western Europe to civilization. From the remarkable writings of the 1st century apostle Paul 4th/5th century Augustine to the 15th century physicist Isaac Newton and contemporary Christians the Christian culture is a remarkable motivating force in human creativity and ingenuity.
Ancient Greek cultures after the end of the neolithic period were known as bronze age cultures. They developed in mainland Greece (Minoan), Turkey (Anatolian) and in some Aegean Sea islands (Cycladic). A transitional culture developed between the late neolithic and bronze ages called today the Korakou culture with simple mostly non-metallic artifacts extent. It has red colors and good pottery and was a decent, modest culture in the beautiful land. The following Minoan culture named for King Minos was a brilliant early culture giving rise to the first European alphabetic scripts discovered...linear A. The following Mycenaean culture was the legendary culture of King Agamemnon and later the heroic age written of at its end by the Homeric poets circa 1100 B.C.
The war with Troy and intercultural conflict helped bring the end of Mycenaean culture. Aeolian, Ionians and Dorian tribes people invaded the weakened culture flowing over the borders of the culture creating an age of darkness lasting nearly four centuries until reformation of an archaic post-Mycenaean civilization in Attica around the year 750 B.C. The city state of Athens would produce some of the greatest creative minds of ancient world history before the Christian era...Parmenides, Heraclitus., Protagoras, Anaximander, Alexander, Sappho, Euripedes, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Alexander the Great etc. With the appearance of the apostle to the gentiles Paul and his oratory at Athens describing the unknown God to the Athenians at the Agora through which Socrates had once walked and talked with his fellow philosophers the end of the decadent and pagan era of Greece after the end of the golden age of 5th and 4th century Athens began. The Christian culture of which Paul bespoke overcame the dominant Roman civilization transforming its natural corruption and downward plunge into a faith that would motivate the Emperor Constantine to refound a Greek Byzantine culture on the Dardanelles bridging the old world and new; bring lands north and south of the Mediterranean into one fold that would survive the collapse of the Western Roman Empire. Christianity became the genius of a transcendent universal spirit moving the people of the world into a teleos of God, the end of which cannot be presently known. More than 2000 years old already Christian culture may reach the stars, for the world may pass away but the words of Jesus Christ will last forever. way to get some of the pagans close enough to a Christian way of thinking about God that some might be able to make the leap of faith into belief in Jesus Christ and salvation unto eternal life instead of eternal death.

The Sudan probably doesn't even have many bears, and giving a teddy bear probably teaches wrong ecological conservation values making them 'bear huggers'. Traditional Muslim caining for naming anything Muhammed- a blaspheming, might have been less bad. Fortunately the teacher may get out of Sudan alive perhaps to value the life experience of seriously underestimating the nature of Muhammadism. Luckily she didn;t give the kids anything like Sherrie Lewis' 'Lambchops' and said it was 'is-lamb', the Lamb of God or anything like that.. Muhammedans can get livid with rage about misunderstanding what is-lamb means as the perfect example of submission to the will of God.
"There may be moderate Muslims, but Islam itself is not moderate. There is no difference between Islam and Islamic fundamentalism. At most there is a difference of degree but not of kind."-Ibn Warraq, executive director of the Institute for the Secularization of Islamic Society
http://nowscape.com/islam/islam.htm
Muhammad was the son of the keeper of pagan statues at the Kabba of Mecca. Muhammad improved upon his father's business inventing a synthetic unified Christian-Judaic religion tailor made for war. Mohammed's scholarship was bad yet the illiterate warriors readily accepted his creed of war in monotheistic dress. The smell of empires ripe for the plucking was on the wind...
Muhammadanism at its high tide invading Europe from the South, east and west had plundered its way across North Africa, invaded Sicily, attacked Rome, sent a fleet to assault Constantinople, occupied Spain in a bloody war lasting centuries with the costly reconquista continuing until the last of the Moors were sent back across the Straits of Gibraltar in 1492 and set upon a centuries long attack upon the Byzantine civilization. The entire Muhammadan conquest was done at the point of the sword with entire peoples ruthlessly subjugated and alternative multi-cultural values deleted. In the zone of war or Dar al Harb the Muhammadan crusades to conquer the free world was prosecuted without mercy upon hapless disorganized peoples until an anti-crusading crusade of European reaction developed to fight the tide of Muhammadan doom. Has the fundamental warrior syncretism of the Umma/Ummayad Empire changed in the stagnant dark ages of the post-Abbasid empire collapse? May any non-Jihhadist Muhammadan be anything more than a lapsed Muhammadan interested more in worldliness than suicide bombing his or herself back t perennial hell and a status lower than worms for eons...the dichotomy of Dar al harb and Dar al Islam is an implicit structural element of the globalist world-view expressed today in in transnational Arab oil policies and in their court and fossil fuel sycophants denying global warming, environmental mass extinctions and the peril of federal deficit spending for western civilization.
"Fight those who do not believe in Allah, nor in the latter day, nor do they prohibit what Allah and His Apostle have prohibited, nor follow the religion of truth, out of those who have been given the Book, until they pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection."-quote from the Koran K 9:029 Set 38, Count 101
Muhammadanism functions in an intelligence vacuum that well serves expansion amidst pagan and third world peoples. It disregards the truth of Jesus Christ, the complex theological concepts of the nature of God and triune beingness in One to market and proselytize the masses with just God for-himself. While there is just one God, the protocol of God is plural comparable to the Universe itself-while there is one Universe there are many things in it. God emanates reality for-others, and Jesus Christ is His way to return humanity unto Himself, while the Spirit of God is the divine essence leading humanity through the vicissitudes of life and turns of pre-determinism. The blind push of the son of the keeper of the many religions centered at Mecca and the Kaba named Muhammad was and is a political power conquest oriented program developed with malinterpretations of Christianity and of Judaism. It is worth comprehending the faults in Muhammad's syncretism in order to understand its strengths and discover how it may be a tool to lead many of the people of the world through bringing them unto God through Jesus Christ as their personal savior.
Muhammadanism hasn't a developed notion of sin and believes humanity may relate directly to God. God is perfect while humanity is fallen. The saving grace of Jesus Christ is the sole way to bridge the gap separating man and God. The divine economy has a universal debt for humanity that only Jesus Christ could pay for; Muhammedism fails to get beyond the basics of montheistic concepts, although in his synthetic religion developed in the decadent era of the Byzantine civilization and vacuum of power after the collapse of the western Roman Empire and Gothic invasions of North Africa the opportunistic Muhammadist expansion served to stimulate the emergence of Europe from the dark ages through its need to defend against the scimitar and Damascus steel.

'164 Jihad verses in the Koran'
It may be that Muhammed was the false prophet mentioned in Biblical eschatology, or not...there may be another. It is likely that Muhammedism was in some way part of God's plan, perhaps as a comparison of the Christian and ancient Greek cultures
Prehistoric Greek culture was much like that of the balance of the land north of the Europus; savage. It was only though millennia that settlements allowed the constructions of societies to develop that bring more intense cultural development and social order. The Minoan culture was the first to arrive in Greece and bring a written language and culture concatenated from the ancient civilizations of the south. The Minoan cultures demise was sudden as it's home islands were obliterated except for that of Crete in a Krakatoa like explosion circa 1500 B.C. A local civilization followed-that of Agamemnon and Trojan legends, yet mankind was still led by oppressive royal societies as its best form of governance except in Ur, circa 2000 B.C. God called Abraham out of Babylon and into the desert and Israel in a relationship destined to bring about the major change in human history-a government by a transcendent God of love and respect for mankind by one another, though human original sin would make them fall short of achieving perfection even of democracy.
Classical Greece embodied the contradictions of mankind's relations with itself. A cluster of city states each with a different form of government developed bring them to war incessantly with each other. Athen's and its limited franchise democracy one out and had a league of Delos over-taxing the resources of the other members to pay for things like building the Parthenon. Sparta declared war on Athens after its completion and began the end of classical Greece.
Sparta was the worst of Greek government development with a homosexual butch elite warrior caste annihilating any social order besides war and training for war. Sparta created nothing lasting for posterity except some military victories of dubious necessity. Greek, known by Greeks as Hellas, in Sparta provide slaves named helots to serve of interest of the arrested social order of warriors. It would take the Roman Republic to actualize the society unifying Athenian and Spartan government values to perfect the idea of a Republic.
Servility and savagery are each opposed to democratic individualism...
Tacitas wrote of German society in the first century...
"25. The rest of their slaves have not, like ours, particular employments in the family allotted them. Each is the master of a habitation and household of his own. The lord requires from him a certain quantity of grain, cattle or cloth, as from a tenant; and so far only the subjection of the slave extends.21 Hid domestic offices are performed by his own wife and children. It is usual to scourge a slave, or punish him with chains or hard labor. They are sometimes killed by their masters; not through severity of chastisement, but in the heat of passion, like an enemy; with this difference, that it is done with impunity.22 Freedmen are little superior to slaves; seldom filling any important office in the family; never in the state, except in those tribes which are under regal government.23 There, they rise above the free-born, and even the nobles: in the rest, the subordinate condition of the freedmen is a proof of freedom." http://www.unrv.com/tacitus/tacitusgermania.php
European society needed to be lifted out of it's savage paganism over the next millennium...Muhammadan cultureswas a raging lion seeking to devour setting it's will for predation to Europe.
Decadent imperialism followed the Roman Republic, yet Christian culture flourished to provide a unity to stand against the invasions of the Umayyad Empire under the false prophet Muhammad. Pope Gregory led a defense against the Umayyad crusades of invasion of Europe that reached Rome, France and the Aegean Islands. Christianity was the motivating cultural element that led Europe out of the pagan re-civilized social structures and into first the imperial structure and then with the reformation and the Dewitt Brothers democratic revolution in Holland into the world's first general government for the masses movement in the form of democracy. While the papacy had become corrupted by worldliness fr a time, it moved Martin Luther, Zwingli, Calvin, Knox and others to form independent and general literacy so people could read the Bible in their own language for themselves...God's teleos had drawn mankind out of a planet of the apes and into one moving to democratic individualism.
Christian movement reflected in ensuing mirrored democratic movements against imperial rule from Rome. Christianity was the motive for invention of the printing press by Gutenberg in 1440.
Christianity is a living culture founded upon a transcendent faith in Jesus Christ and the grace of God; ancient Greek culture is dead. Ancient Greek culture, or cultures more accurately are one of the great research subjects of archeology however beginning more than 25,000 years ago with excavations done at the Francthi cave in the neolithic period of hunters moving through the ages to farmers and the emergence of Minoan culture centered at the island of Thera/Santorini before its end with the apocalypse of volcanism giving rise to the legends of Atlantis.
Jesus Christ ended the pagan era of humanity substituting atoning and renewing spiritual faith in the Absolute post-temporal creator of temporality and much more. The Christian culture began with the physical appearance of Jesus Christ on Earth with His birth in Bethlehem circa October, 3 B.C. The laws of God were then written on the hearts and minds of believers as the prophet Jeremiah had related they would be centuries before. Christian culture brought the end of animal sacrifice and misguided beliefs in inanimate objects as gods. The spiritual draft of Jesus Christ was the central cohering element in the rise of western Europe to civilization. From the remarkable writings of the 1st century apostle Paul 4th/5th century Augustine to the 15th century physicist Isaac Newton and contemporary Christians the Christian culture is a remarkable motivating force in human creativity and ingenuity.
Ancient Greek cultures after the end of the neolithic period were known as bronze age cultures. They developed in mainland Greece (Minoan), Turkey (Anatolian) and in some Aegean Sea islands (Cycladic). A transitional culture developed between the late neolithic and bronze ages called today the Korakou culture with simple mostly non-metallic artifacts extent. It has red colors and good pottery and was a decent, modest culture in the beautiful land. The following Minoan culture named for King Minos was a brilliant early culture giving rise to the first European alphabetic scripts discovered...linear A. The following Mycenaean culture was the legendary culture of King Agamemnon and later the heroic age written of at its end by the Homeric poets circa 1100 B.C.
The war with Troy and intercultural conflict helped bring the end of Mycenaean culture. Aeolian, Ionians and Dorian tribes people invaded the weakened culture flowing over the borders of the culture creating an age of darkness lasting nearly four centuries until reformation of an archaic post-Mycenaean civilization in Attica around the year 750 B.C. The city state of Athens would produce some of the greatest creative minds of ancient world history before the Christian era...Parmenides, Heraclitus., Protagoras, Anaximander, Alexander, Sappho, Euripedes, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Alexander the Great etc. With the appearance of the apostle to the gentiles Paul and his oratory at Athens describing the unknown God to the Athenians at the Agora through which Socrates had once walked and talked with his fellow philosophers the end of the decadent and pagan era of Greece after the end of the golden age of 5th and 4th century Athens began. The Christian culture of which Paul bespoke overcame the dominant Roman civilization transforming its natural corruption and downward plunge into a faith that would motivate the Emperor Constantine to refound a Greek Byzantine culture on the Dardanelles bridging the old world and new; bring lands north and south of the Mediterranean into one fold that would survive the collapse of the Western Roman Empire.

U.S. Inflation , Housing Slump and Trans-national Corporatism
Fifty-year Kondratieff wave cycle modeling should place America at the edge of a depression-yet it could be wrong for many reasons including the trans-national transition of the American economy perhaps forestalling the K wave in the U.S.A. and expanding it to the global perhaps in a 75 year criterion...who can say. Generational change and housing lifespans and many other factors go into the supply and demand for housing. What America needs is good concrete dome housing that have an effective r value of 100 and cost approximately sixty dollars per square (maybe it should be round) foot.
http://www.kwaves.com/kond_overview.htm
The housing construction industry is historically associated with the well being of the economy. When the housing market recedes recession follows. The assumptions about historic roles of housing construction in the economy like the role of low inflation rates may be anachronistic in the shaping adverse world order of trans-nationalism.
http://www.econlib.org/library/Enc/BusinessCycles.html table of boom/bust a U.S. century
http://www.financialsense.com/fsu/editorials/jain/2006/1113.html another boom-bust theory
Can trans-national corporatists just fiddle with the U.S. economy in relation to election cycles in order to maximize profits and corporatist power? Why doesn't WalMart sell solar panels and wind driven electrical power generators or the federal government build monolithic concrete dome homes on military bases?
Foreign investment in the U.S. mortgage market is large, it went from $2.763 trillion in 1992 to $8.144 trillion in 2001. With the dollar becoming shakier and investment elsewhere such as China appearing attractive foreign investors in the U.S. mortgages may be uncertain about continuing the increase. With so many foreign interests involved in America's economic infrastructure it is hard to say how much the next administration could do even if it was willing to change either housing or transportation infrastructure much. Basically no one can expect a serious rectification of macro-economic interdiction procedures from federal leadership.
Between 1997 and 2001 foreign held U.S. equities increased from 1.513 to $2.857 trillion. In recent years foreign investment in the U.S.A. has increased. Trans-nationalism is taking over U.S. political self-determination by influence. Oil profits have allowed Citygroup and other U.S. firms to be purchased by Arab oil interests. The U.S. political leaderships would not change the way 5.5 million homes are built in the country in good years with support for better lot design and zoning to support it nor preference for home power-production or concrete domes for heating-cooling efficiency and longevity-nothing that would make the U.S.A. a safer, better more prosperous nation. Foreign investors have 24% of the total investment in equity in income producing properties in the U.S.A.
Direct foreign in the U.S.A. reached its highest level in history of 335 billion in the year 2000 during President Clinton's final year in office. Though the trend was downward after the 2001 incident it has returned to the increase with 161 billion invested in 2006. Foreign takeover of U.S. businesses is another consequence of trans-national policies by the administration and congress that have accelerated outsourcing of jobs to maximize not American but foreign investors and interests. The cheaper U.S. dollar allows increased foreign purchases of discounted American businesses and properties.
Housing technology and demographic facts could reduce the need to rely on housing expansion at all if environmentalism were more naturally included in the personal dwelling concept. Larger home lots with better landscaping and a small, more efficient and longer lasting home such as a monolithic dome could reduce this major element of the economy to a lower level freeing up more personal capital savings for investment in personal production. Federal unimaginativeness has encouraged over-reliance on rectilinear stick-frame dwellings with minimal green space. The federal government also of course fails to support active personal transportation modification to non-fossil fuel power supply to the nations detriment. Economic cycle can be altered with timely, incremental public sector transitions to new technology infrastructures.
Economic management in one nation has implicitly different assumptions and challenges than in the trans-national or global business paradigm in which economic management entails so far as the United States goes discounting local or regional international economic slumps so well as the U.S. economy is good enough to return trans-nationalists to office. Trans-national corporatist management paradigms may use low inflation goals as a lever to undermine the national economy. It may be a subversive trend because of what is done to accomplish the low inflation rates in the U.S.A., while in China the yuan is over-valued yet the Chinese economy is thriving albeit with pollution and other external costs.
Low inflation and low unemployment rates in America are accomplished not the old fashioned way with honest work, a balanced budget and innovation and intelligent economic management but through the Enron model of transnational ponzi stoked by trade agreements to make it easier for trans-national corporations to relocate and exploit cheap labor, floods of millions of cheap laborers into the U.S.A. and trillions of dollars of cheap imported goods for domestic consumption. The low inflation rate does keep the prices low and products affordable for necessary consumer items yet is also financed with vast federal debt and a consumer spending and no savings policy.
While Americans can afford to live the economy is basically ill-founded and building up foreign rivals in the long range from oil purchases from OPEC to capital investment in new Chinese factories and infrastructure and so forth. In the United States wealthy foreign corporations can purchase housing, energy and mortgage corporations as well as real estate with higher valued currencies while Americans drift toward homelessness and insolvency. The ill-health of American economic management since the 1980's can be measured by the decreasing percentage of Americans that speak English as an internal proletariat from Mexico floods in as Chinese partners to keep the rate of inflation down and trans-nationalism roaring ahead. Sure inflation or higher prices on everything is bad and with the end of the Republican administration in January 2009 it may be a necessary follow up to 100 dollar per barrel oil prices and other 'hidden' inflation economic techniques designed to gouge and degrade U.S. consumers and build trans-national and foreign interests. President Ronald Regan's use of short term Keynesian hybrid supply side economics may have been justified but it transformed into a lever to enrich the richest and outsource the U.S. economic health.
Isolationism and inflation are bad extremes of course, yet so is the rabid transnationalizing
mindless dronary that cares not a whit about prioritizing U.S. intelligence in macro-economic management policy. The United States should be a leading conservationist, energy production, environmental health increase and security role model for the world to follow rather than an amorphous trans-national siphoner of profits for select trans-national corporations. Some large corporate M.B.A. personnel may be simply pimps regarding national human interests looking for just cheap profits and undeserving of trust by the gullible citizens of the United States. The housing industry driven by cheap labor much of which is illegal needs honest money to purchase it and finance it's increase at some point. With the financial related sector of the nation's economy far too high for health it becomes somewhat difficult perhaps to find the rare honest workers to pay the sophisticates not creating anything materially the high prices they need to keep Wall-Street going and able to sell out to Dubai. Heck, it's only oil anyway and goes up in smoke.
Trans-national corporations may be a form of robust ad hoc collectives crushing domestic political opposition in order to increase their own profit naturally enough. Politicians in the United States should be more patriotic and seek to enrich all of the people of the United States, revitalize the environment, secure a no illegal alien ingress fact and balance the federal budget. While trans-national corporations will take care of themselves the federal government should look after the interests of the people of the U.S.A. not through socialism or the opposite of fealty to trans-national corporatism but within a rational realism that does not view Americans as replaceable and downgradable assets or human capital. The nation needs a sound immigration policy of just 350,000 annually from all sources and with a just and unbiased representative selection of the global demographics. They should all be on a course to citizenship over seven years, be given free English language instruction and leave if they choose not to become Americans after seven years.

Wave Standard Dreams
Dream waves strike the shore adding memories
ideas and visions in time that rent
hope apart and for itself together with each place
walked through the forests and nights
when passages in particular left the sounds behind
like classes of social dreams arranged together
the public sees in it's objects pluses or minuses
proposed from M.B.A.s to allocate and distribute four four in C sharp
like the pointillist city put together by my friend the beautiful poet
struck down in her prime by mal-wear
these wonderful stanzas strolled alone and were carried over the sands
in winds of the evening breeze with oceanness
the sound was a roaring eternity that lasted through all the morrows
though they curled in and broke myriad maths into the landshore currents
so where is she now one wonders
No one cares about the blank verses and standard paragraphs
presumed by prose to launch a thousand lines advancing as rhymes
swift and determined so much so that they have formed
images of a burning hot sun in the desert sky
with millions of vultures and oil pumps, skeletons and S.U.V.s
black toxic smoke and choking sands at 100 dollars a barrel
to pollute the one blue atmosphere
something like a dream that changes it's moods with colors
blushing sunrises orchestrated by a Chopin attacking the horizontal keyboard
fading into the beginning of solid color work
it becomes unnoticed until the fall rays light more vividly an Earth
So one cares about savings dreams and metaphors
flying away from nightfall and sin
away from the infinite worldliness that mumbled meaninglessness
urging for the angels to be released unto them
though the angels were traveling incognito
neat the city was racked up though there were at least two or three good people
the dreams turn this way and that while the eagle flies
beyond comedy shows and writers on strike
past real construction without song
no pomp for the peace envisioned
mountains unclimbed, borders unprotected and budgets unbalanced
who would ever have dreampt that God preexists dreams before thinking
somethings ashore and somethings offshore, some for now and some for later
ideas that are structured like material bridging through time to become
something like another poem to provide three-dimensional and more with colors
she could write, that beach, those waves that easily reach the highest mark gently surging.
