I read the post I wrote about the political transformation of Republics into the tyranny of the rich (plutocracy) that may result in an emperor (Caesar). Either the rich may concentrate wealth and phase out Congress perhaps making the President an imperial stooge, or the public may demand a Caesar to counteract rich oligarchic Republicans. A depraved plebian set (democrats) may enjoy soma (dope) , bread, circuses and so worth with occasional military adventures in the empire. Maybe something like that happened in ancient Rome and will occur in the U.S.A.

Stuffed Chinese Dumplings for a Simple Low-cost Snack
Making a quick simple food in the field requires little more than flour, water, a can of spam and some seasoning. Chinese dumplings take advantage of the protein gluten in flower to form a wrappings for a little chunk of meat that will get dropped into boiling water for five minutes or so into a pot of boiling water until the meat is cooked varying of course upon how much meat is used.
http://culinaryarts.about.com/od/bakingdesserts/p/gluten.htm
Make a dough out of the flour adding a pinch of salt water to consistency, kneed it with hands and then flatten it with the heel of the hand, fold it over and repeat several times. The dough could be the size of a softball.
Roll the dough into a lengthy shape then roll it out in two directions with a rolling pin until very thin. Take a cookie cutter or a glass at cut out little round pieces of dough onto which a piece of diced spa is placed in the center. Fold the dough over like fold a circle in half. Seal the dough without leaving air pockets and voila-drop the wrapped meat in the dough into thee boiling water.
It is possible to experiment with seasoning with the basic dough, and of course with different kinds of meat filling. Flour is affordable as is spam, salt and water in first world nations. If one has chives or onion that too can be a good additive. Ketchup works great on this sort of thing too. Be careful about eating the dumpling before it cools.

The Ultra-Rich Want Quick, Cheap, Dirty Alien Labor Amnesty Bill
The ultra-rich Gates, Buffet, Adelson troika have pressurized the U.S. Congress to pass a quick dirty cheap labor amnesty bill in order that global plutocracy may better develop an imperial empire including the U.S.A. Instead of investing in construction of a border-control water-desalinzation evaporation zone on the Mexican border creating thousands of shovel-ready jobs the ultra-rich and their puppet President Obama want amnesty for millions of illegal aliens and/or a few billion to process illegal aliens and hire more lawyers to represent them while their aren't enough public defenders for Americans as it is.
The billionaires believe congress should toe the line of servitude to the global plutocracy and do what they say. President Obama already has received support from Warren Buffett explaining why the tax cuts for the rich went through. Now they expect Congresspersons to throw in the towel and be their Stepin Fetchits. Concentration of wealth creates concentration of political power as well. Breaking up the concentrated wealth and de-escalating the oligarchy might help to return a semblance of democracy to the U.S. Government.
Some suspect Democrat Party leadership connivance in flooding the nation with runaways from Central America to put more leverage on Congress to panic and lift their skirts for the ultra-rich and the President and put their limp wrists of approval to a reform to imperialism illegal alien right-of-way bill.
Plainly windows is a slow, hostile to non-windows products operating system not intended to web books-just desk tops I think. One can spend one's internet time just making windows work, installing updates etc. It runs very, very slow when a dual booted Linux issue works fine--why? Why do corporate raiders like Warren Buffet making billions and billions buying other people's corporations rate any higher value input to congress than the citizens of this democracy being down-graded by the flanking of public sovereignty over the borders? I think they should not.
The Congress should tax the rich at a 90% rate like F.D.R. and encourage them to make faster operating systems and secure borders instead of urging flimsy spending bills and amnesty post hoc policy sycophancy from the remnant branch of democratic government in the U.S.A.

Dual Booting a Natural Universe (video)
This video is an illustration of the concept of the Universe existing as a contingent creation comparable to a computer operating system existing within a partitioned area of a primary operating system it hasn't access to. Such a boundary condition could be delimited within any number of means of quantum physics, membrane dynamics, nothingness or discrete time quantifiers.

Capitalism's Creative Destruction of World Ecosphere (video)
Capitalism's creative destruction of industrial practices bringing reform and change has the unintended consequence of destruction of ecosphere as an externality. Here are some ideas on the issue. The author reads his essay on the topic with voice over Alaska images.

Creative Destruction of Evolutionary Capitalism Destroys the Ecosphere Too
Joseph Schumpeter is credited with coining the term 'creative destruction of capitalism' in reference to the change of economic infrastructure from industrialism to post-industrial tool-kit. That creative destruction has the side effect of destroying the planet's ecosphere as a bi-product or externality. Plainly stuffy capitalism as ecospheric vishnu defenders need to destroy their own ideas about what capitalism is and adapt to a post-trash-the-ecosphere new way of capitalism.
Environmental
economics that are adaptable to present national and global
challenges require intelligent design of political parameters
responsive to meeting the challenges to the synthesis of social
economy and ecosphere. Capitalism in its present evolutionary form is
demonstrably inadequately responsive to challenges of habitat
loss, mass species extinction, global warming, oceanic pollution and
dislocation of economic and physical security of the citizens of the
U.S.A. and world. In theory capitalism with intelligent design
parameters established politically would better work to satisfy political and consumer needs.
Mass
media sycophants of concentrated wealth and power get news
feed from government and corporate releases largely. Reiteration of
ethics values of concentrated wealth form the bulk of the political
socialization of the masses encountering the mass media, hence those
values of evolutionary capitalism instead of capitalism under the
direction of intelligent design gather together like a pelaton in a
distance bike race riding through ecospheric and economic eschaton
waiting to crash down upon them like a spring-loaded hyper-Maxwell’s
hammer.
Plainly
one wonders if the Federal Reserve can print up money to
buy U.S. bonds and issue zero interest loans to large banks as a
permanent feature of the U.S. economy without causing hyper-inflation
and devaluation of the value of the dollar. Another potential problem
is the large number of dollars held abroad in relation to the
quantity held by Americans-will Americans be able to afford to live
in their own nation if they aren’t part of the 1% in the future?
One also wonders if the Denver Broncos will win the Super Bowl, if
Lebron James will go to the Cavaliers, Lakers or Nicks and where Carmello
Anthony will be this fall-a dual gunner with the Lakers’ Kobe
Bryant?
Present
Obama has had seven major policy achievements in his 6 years;
1-Obamacare
2-Queering
the federal government
3-Making
Bush tax cuts for the rich permanent
4-Getting
a Sunni Caliphate started in the Middle East
5-Forming
bad diplomatic relations with Russia and Germany
6-Running
the money printing presses copiously without causing hyper-inflation
7-Building more public debt in one term than G.W. Bush in two
7-Building more public debt in one term than G.W. Bush in two
It
is the last policy that is remarkable and a cause for wonder. It
seems as if a new age of economics has arrived long after Nixon took
the U.S.A. off the gold standard; the Federal Reserve can
just issue more money to buy U.S. bonds and fund the cost of
government and make zero interest loans to large banks- free
money effectively so the rich can buy up global business
opportunity. There must be some unintended consequences
for that-I just can’t say what it is.
In
Afghanistan however the probable fraud that bilked the Adullah
Adullah Presidential run seems set to marginalize the Shi’a-Tajik
candidate and ensconce the Sunni who can perhaps work better with the
Taliban after the U.S.A. accelerates withdrawal of most remaining
forces. President Obama doesn’t evidently have much concern about
the re incipient necessity for a partition to spare the Northern
Alliance oriented partisans the embarrassments of protracted Sunni
oppression post-N.A.T.O. occupation. Realistically the U.S.
Government should consider plan B to partition Afghanistan and
reinforce the Northern Alliance if we are returning to a pre-2001
configuration eventually. Maybe Iran can be of help in reinforcing
the Northern Alliance if they aren’t too busy reinforcing the Iraqi
Shi’a under siege from the Sunni Caliphate in Northern Iraq and
part of Syria.
The role of the U.S.A. in developing a broad Sunni
terrorist infrastructure in the Middle East is sadly evident though
perhaps more a result of ineptness rather than intention. I hope they
do not transform behind the wave ineptitude into further
destabilization of the Middle East politically-that can bring
economic and ecospheric harm as well.

Dual Booting a Contingent Universe
God created creatures called humans. In this
paradigm the creatures learn through divine revelation that God is real and
concerned about them. That is humanity has received sufficient communication to
assemble in the Bible. What about God’s point of view of things? We don’t often
consider that (as if we could) yet we might act a little as if we did in order
to understand our own situation as human beings a little better.
God is. God is the great I am. God is God. God is being.
Creating creatures or anything sentient with its own Universe is like dual
booting an operating system that isn’t aware that it exists within a larger OS.
God can set aside a partitioned area of the omnipotent hard drive and create a
Universe or Multi-verse within it containing people, animals, matter and energy
with its own protocols of order. It has death in it-nothingness delimiting the
temporal boundaries of the creatures. Like an operating system that won’t be
maintained forever-like Windows XP unfortunately-humanity in the partitioned
Universe just won’t be maintained in their contingent being beyond a certain,
finite date.
Within the partitioned area of the hard drive the
existence of the partition cannot be known. Only revelation arriving from God
transcending the partition can inform the creatures of the true nature of their
existence. Though mankind as fallen, temporal being subject to evolutionary
thermodynamic entropy has implicit facts, obedience to the revealed will of God
frees humanity from that bondage to sin. Sin is fundamental disobedience to the
will of God.
Sin is itself an aspect of nothingness. Being and
nothingness is the veritable dichotomy of good and evil. Evil and sin is the
brinksmanship in disobedience unto nothingness.
Philosophically speaking God is the unmoved mover
Being all things. He is Lord of everything. Nothing is a mysterious element
that permits free will to make errors; errors, falsehoods and intentions
leading to nothingness. Containing disobedient free will within the temporal
Universe is a brilliant way of adapting the altered spiritual condition of the
beta version humans Adam and Eve to a Universal environment commensurate with
their change. It has strife and challenge. Yet God still cares about His
creatures and the Son appeared as man himself in order to give humanity a way
to return to a normative, obedient relation with God. Jesus Christ is God as is
the Holy Spirit. The trinity cohere within one another for-us.
The Universal operating system has physical
cosmology of great interest with the pursuit of knowledge of that system
developed in natural philosophy. God is however, live, eternal and creations
and everything else are contingent aspects of His own Being. God is all Being
yet not all sentient beings are God. In a comparable way-all of the data and
programs in an operating system of a contingent operating system were created
by the meta-operating system programmer and are in a sense ‘his’ too, however
not all of the individual lines of code in the contingent Universe OS are the
operating system. Anyone who has looked at the files on Windows knows that not
all files including program files can be said to be the Windows operating
system.
Perhaps I didn’t make that last point very clear.
Here is another point of difference yet, Windows isn’t the hardware comprising
the computer whereas the operating system for the contingent Universe in it’s
partitioned area comprises that Universe’s hardware.
The steady state Universe of entangled quantum mass
and energy is regarded by some as information or bits of data with locations
running in accord with thermodynamic physical laws of causality. The OS is the
hardware flowing from an original boundary condition at the point of origin-Big
Bang, Inflaton, Membrane or Dimension collisions whatever. That Universe exists
as a partitioned area-one cannot locate evidence of the metaphysics of the
realm beyond the partition because God exists beyond, spiritually. Only through
the word of God and in particular the Lord Jesus Christ can one return to
freedom with obedience to the will of God. God forgives the sin of the fallen
creatures of the temporal partition if they accept the Son as their Lord.
Jesus Christ made the atoning sacrifice on the
cross. He showed that God recognizes the
fallen human condition and condemns it even in His Son yet because Jesus Christ
was resurrected God showed that there is a way through and away from that
temporal human condition leading to death and unto the right eternal
relationship with the Creator transcending the temporal Universe and sin. God
does not condemn God. In other words God didn’t condemn Jesus Christ-only the
temporal physical form of mankind existing in the partitioned Universe OS.
People have the ability to overcome their programmed D.N.A. and have faith in
the Lord and His sacrifice providing a way unto the right relationship with God
and eternal life in heaven (the operating system beyond the partition where God
is the evident administrator).
