A Comment on 'The Greatest Day in History'

In reading the book on the last week of World War One by Nicholas Best named 'The Greatest Day in History' (The London Daily Express called Armistice Day-November 11, 1918 that) I am reminded a little of significant historical events such as the recent trophy hunt of the most wanted terrorist in the world Osama Bin Laden and how they effect public perceptions.

History experienced by many different participants in the final week of the war including soldiers, politicians and civilians from sveral sides remind one of the mini-bird-god's eye view of how so many politicians, soldiers, civilians and other thought at one time, diventegratively, wholistically, fractiously and/or phenomenally the great events of the week.

Contemporary historical events in Pakistan and Afghanistan also afforrd disintegrative social powers and individuals asymmetrically asserting political powers and economic power, or subverting political and economic power, or subverting power in a simultaneous nexus of contemporary history.

Pakistan has myriad parties and terrorist organizations devoted to driving India from Kashmir. Its military and intelligence forces have factions and groups not at all on the same sheet of music necessarily-that is, some of the players support individual initiatives with plausble deniability or even complete covert activty that others in government, military and intelligence know nothing about. An effort to impose a uniform, cookie cutter politcal conformity upon the region by the Unted States that would eliminate formation of terrorism is unlikely for several reasons including but not limited to the fact that the U.S.A. seems like such a rich yet stupid nation that can be defeated or reduced in power simply by forcing it to spend on defese against terrorism. It is also questionable that the U.S. administration and establishement financial elites have a monistic view of Central Asian efforts in the new hyper-dimensional 'great game' already a decade old.

The U.S.A. should dedicate itself to the propositions that all people are created equal unto God, and that the U.S. economy should resolutely improve toward full employment and eological health with home security and justice for all Americans. Many hope that the U.S.A. begins a positive cultural contribution of Afghanistan and Pakistan with transferable steady-state economic packages operable in a hostile social environment and discontinues the military approaches as an ineffective means to bring cultural progress. It create a temporal displacement of power that resumes because of an inconclusive resolution of underlying reasons for conflict in Afghanistan as in Europe in 1918. World War Two-the bigger brawl-was the second round of the first world war.

American demands on Afghans and Pakistanis for conformal political organization absent of terrorists to a certain extent disregard the tactical issues of the region that drive Pakistan to support terrorism in Kashmir and Afghanistan as a way to de frappe Indian hegemony, and Pakistan's constitution requires Shria law.

The ongoing idiomatic logic of Washington politicians to prosecute wars of cultural transformation for decades can lead as readily to the destruction of U.S. cultural health as it can repress and radicalize civil life of people abroad that have zero prospect for affording the expensive American way of life to the satisfaction of the financial service and banking sector that led the mortgage default crisis.

President Obama Sends River Flood to Missouri

The Federal Government sapped a levy holding the Mississippi River back out of Missouri to save a town in the President's home state of Illinois from potential flooding. Demographic, utilitarian political choices are exemplified-the greatest good for the greatest politician determines the political decision. If Harry S. Truman were President would he have made the same decision, or would Illinois have been inundated?

For several years environmental scientists have studied the idea of allowing the Mississippi River to flood naturally instead of trying to force it into a levied drainage ditch; not only unrealistic, its bad for fishing and hunting as well. The method used by the government to use the flood control method of flood diversion needs improvement.

Select areas might be designated for high-water flood control overflow and special gates installed to allow flooding from a given level rather than at a zero level as results when a levy is blown. Perhaps only a few feet of water off the top needed to spill over instead of flooding it down to ground zero.

Horizontal river spillways of lower height than other levies along the Mississippi might be built along with a comprehensive overflow spill control design to channel future floods into constructive ends. Farmers and others in these areas should know the potential high water mark and build accordingly. The federal government might compensate farmers for years when their fields are flooded because of high water. The government should also notify farmers adequately in advance of floods so expensive farm equipment can be moved. If homes and other structures must be built in flood overflow areas, they should be built on concrete piers, be able to float or be set on survival islands with rip rap rock around them.

Overall, I would give the Army Corps of Engineers and D grade donated by the Administration for a failure to better plan for Mississippi overflow spill control. We know from the failure of levies in the Katrina disaster that the Congress values spending billions for foreign kinetic military actions over funding the Corp of Engineers to work with ecological analysts to improve the United States.

When obvious flood control overflow is possible-even the Indians of Cohokia of A.D. had the good sense God gave them to build near St. Louis in a location where there pyramids could survive for a millennia without being flooded by water (the human flood of insensitive development overtook them)-the U.S. Government should use and implement new flood control overflow spill control planning with synergetic, beneficial effects on the environment and farm prosperity.

The Constant Source ©2011GaryCGibson (poem)

If the constants of both time and space
were forever to become untrue
changing life's conceptions along with place
what things could last even if we choose?

What things last when all inflate
light speed, learning and dreams of night
such meanings past, the present in sight
those futures we might first contemplate

Three Persons in One
three dimensions and time
God of all morrows
transcending the signs

Of seasons changing and worlds anew
living chemical equilibria
quasars with a redshift of four
fine-tuned processes that shift like a string
up to the cross
reverberations beyond ways and means

Satan has no pain
never a good thing lacking
given everything from God
for the asking
first place near perfection
the created being of scenes
ultimate sadist, desiring consumate wings
power, the perfected yunpie esortsufngred hrough crucifixion though
giving the meek and saved the true constant
that they may know the glory
of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Mission to Planets Orange ©2011GaryCGibson (poem)

With a classification of the worlds
according to the color
planets that were orange belonged to no other
clusters of angstroms measured in time
with or without magnetic fields
deflecting charged particle from stars
of waves through curved spaces time
unto Mars, Europa and Tethys read
as green and blue
selected with vision determing locality
visions interpreted in reactive spectral concise renormality
chords of sharp and major frequencies
shifted from infrared to ultraviolet
with biological thought receptors
changing brown to yellow
when paint pots of possibility write
for Mercury becomes white
in the meaning of first light
the speed of gravitons faster
erasing color with terminator night
overcome by surfing quantum packets
interpreted with God given reasoning of right
ever the colors flow
signals, data, of no classification inchoate
lifting event processes to vector then
for timing direction to planets orange.

Osama Bin Laden Killed in Pakistan

In the non-fiction book 'Hunting Bin Laden' author Rob Shyltheis describes the most likely hideout of the designer of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States as a compound in the northeast mountains of Pakistan. The compound is described in detail. The terrorist was killed Sunday. U.S. reliance on fossil fuels continues special vulnerability to global terror on the U.S. economy.

Osama Bin Laden may have lived in Pakistan with the protection of Pakistani intelligence. Evidently Osama Bin Laden was located at a reasonable facsimile of the compound of literary note in Abadabad Pakistan. U.S. intelligence is said to have followed up a lead from August 2010 (did they read the book 'Hunting Bin Laden' published in 2008 or 2009?) that led to an an assault by a few Americans Sunday-reportedly a Navy Seal team The U.S. Government buried Bin Laden's body at sea after sampling the D.N.A. for confirmation. Such a quick disposal will leave room for some to wonder if, as in the absence of Hitler's body for public review, if he really was killed.

It would have been more satisfactory if Os had been captured with a high tech area knock out method and returned for interrogation. When Lee Oswald was killed quickly by Jack Ruby and unavailable for debriefing, it closed off a lot of leads and left many unanswered questions.

A decade has been spent chasing Os Bin Laden at very high opportunity cost to domestic U.S. development enriching a world of global corporate contractors. Os Bin Laden was finally killed as if on schedule as the U.S. is slated to pull out military forces from Iraq this year and supposed to withdraw forces from Afghanistan by 2014 while a new kinetic military action has begun in Libya creating more work and cash transfers to the military-industrial complex.

This is not rocket science or the deployment of more advanced space propulsion systems. More efficeint, lower cost methods of defending U.S. physical and economic property and civil rights need to be developed alternative to large scale conventional deployment of troops to hunt for global guerrilla spook terrorists, their leaders and broadcast cohorts.

Perhaps the government can plan for withdrawal and reduction of taxable military investments abroad until a future time when kinetic military action is required for proximal defense or preemptive defense against continua of attack. Creating steady-state, green, renewable economic infrastructure in second and third world countries is a better investment than dumping military aid and non-renewable, unsustainable neo-classic economic assistance to upper classes abroad.

A Reminder of the Anthropic Principle in Chaotic Inflationary Universe Bubble Sub-Units

One of the more interesting points that Barrow raises in his book ‘The Constants of Nature’ is that conditions of the anthropic principle-the values of constants, in any possible universe or inflated bubble portion of a Universe that has life must be set fine-tuned to support life. Any new theory-of-everything physical cosmology would need to be fined tuned to support human life in a universe. A theoretical physicist might design a good mathematical theory unifying gravity, quarks, strings, the electroweak and strong forces yet if they change constant values such that life would not arise, the theory must be a wrong description of this actual universe.

As a Christian I should stipulate that God would not set human life, evolving, partly assembled or arriving fully assembled, into any Universe that could not support life.

Recent speculation has found evidence against inflation as a fact of cosmological mechanics, or at least problems with it, even so, considering principles that apply to any given universe such as a chaotic inflationary one provide a modal logic of neccessity criteria in support of the anthropic principle's validity.

It may seem obvious-that the physical constants must be such that stars can form, that the size of space and its rate of expansion fit the strength of gravity and so forth at such a pace that life can occur. Even the values of string theory would need to be such that they yield values for all the physical constants of the Universe letting stars and galaxies to form, and live to a certain age, yield elements in the right proportions such as carbon from three helium atoms forming beryllium on the way etc. There are numerous observable values for the Universe that would need to cohere within a new theory that would unify general relativity with quantum mechanical criteria.

It is somewhat useful to compare the half million versions of string theory with U.S. foreign policy. For each possible theory about intervention in the middle east or other Moslem nations that might be regarded as one version of string theory with hypothetical constant values there are still about a half million others with different values-and in foreign policy a localized political theory of everything tends to not have a valid, comparable anthropic principle in it for which democracy, peace, prosperity and a good environment result. Instead, war weapons are transferred, people die and a new corrupt government with unpredictable future conduct in a chaotic political sub-unit bubble develops. Deficit spending on inflationary political sub-unit universes with subtle adverse quantum fluctuations tend to create values adverse to life for the unemployed in the U.S.A.-a trivial concern to Washington D.C. theoretical politicians.

Another interesting point in Barrow’s 2002 book is that in the particular case of life on Earth, even a moon was required to offset the more extreme changes in tides and temperature that would occur from the procession of the Earth’s axis without it. Also Earth has a magnetic field to help keep its atmosphere on. I hadn’t realized that Mars lost its atmosphere because it hasn’t got a magnetic field to deflect particles from the sun that blew it away. Has N.A.S.A. got any plans to design an artificial planetary magnetic field for that magnetically under-privileged neighbor planet?

Obama vs Ryan (again)

The last time Barrack Hussein Obama up against a Ryan he won by default. That was in the Illinois 2004 race for the U.S. Senate. Now U.S. Rep. Paul Ryan is the Republican party's preferred challenger versus Barrack Hussein Obama-its as if they want him to win.

I once had a dog named Clancy. He was a nice puppy that I couldn't take with me on the road so I had to give him away to a nice home. later I read the brillliant Tom Clancy novels, yet I never dreampt that the U.S. public would need make believe political fantasy figures in politics of the absurd to persuade them that their government really cares about anything besides enriching the rich.

Running a Tom Clancy hero figure approxie popular political leader as a kind of Jersey Generals against the Globe Trotters isn't really such a bad idea to assure that corporate policy goes through without blame if Barrack Hussein Obama is giving the Republican party nearly everything the rich want in leadership. And I must say that Paul Ryan has the kind of big hair that a Tom Clancy hero ought to if he is going to work for the U.S. Government (well in the late 80's and early 90's at least-now it might be a moslem afro-american named Jinghis from the south pacific region allegedly if the C.I.A. hasn't cooked his birth certificate).

Somehow the political budget will work out in 2011 with the Republicans making hoo haw interminably about letting the poor cut-n-stitch up their own guts when they need abdominable surgery and to quit shamming in emergency rooms at the expense of hard-working CEOs taking millions of dollars in bonuses from federal bank bail out packages.

I suppose the Congress will in some way trim the poor who are increasingly so much lint like externalities to the suave global corporate capitalist set running the U.S.A. with a fine corporate Harvard product front man.
