On the modern state of exile; what does it mean?

Exile is another tool of political attack through other means and a prerogative of political power.

Exile in the world today has gone far beyond the traditional meaning of the term, and what was that you might ask? Russia is a society with a solid tradition of internal and external exile practiced even today. Last year a former Russian spy in exile Alexander Litvinenko who had said that President Putin was a pedophile was poisoned to death by thallium in a London restaurant-and it wasn't on any menu except perhaps one at the Kremlin. Litvineko formerly was employed by a later Russian exiled billionaire Boris Berezovsky, as a security officer.

Usually Russian writers like Radischev were sent into exile for failing to please state censors. Radischev suicided the second time he was sentenced to Siberia. The author of 'A Journey from Petersburg to Moscow' found Catherine the Great's proscriptions on his works unbearable and hoped the sin of self-exile from life was forgivable. Sometimes Russian politicians have experienced exile when it was politically incorrect to have them murdered. Stalin sent his rival Trotsky into internal exile first before sending him out of Russia eventually to be assassinated in Mexico City in the midst of writing his biography of Stalin.

Georgi Markov a Bulgarian dissident was poisoned in London in 1978.

Then Ukranian political opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko ingested large amounts of the most toxic dioxin known YCDD during a campaign for President against Mr. Putin's favorite; Viktor Yanukovych. Trans-national illegal activities by state authorities is another fruitful area of interest controlled mainly by certain undemocratic elite balancing equations.

Studies have been made on the transnational expulsion of entire peoples trans-nationally into exile such as this workshop at Rutgers University in 2002...http://www- 2005.rhul.ac.uk/Music/Golden-pages /Conferences/02-5-eme.html

Entire peoples may go into political exile without a right of return to their own nation. Exile is also a traditional place to plot a revolution in the exiling country for the exiled. One thinks of Afghan rebels, the Ayatollah Khomeini and Iraqi dissidents against Saddam Hussein as examples of rebels that have plotted revolution. The Palestinian exile refugee camp gangsters that transitioned through terror into the Palestinian Government are additional examples of political exiles and trans-national activity in exile.

Trans-national broadcast corporations themselves have the opportunity to flank national civil rights and attack political targets from over-the-border rebroadcast though affiliates into the relevant nation was legal deniability as simply a 'quote with spin on it'. National democracy with sound civil rights is the primary bulwark against trans-national predations on private citizens.

Modern global communications and travel technology has made physical exile somewhat anachronistic now; what is more important in exiling today is deletion of the individual or group from power and additional ad hoc ostracism. In the power group relationship of us versus them the targeted individual is moved from the us side to the them side-sometimes that is fatal, sometimes it means house arrest, other times some may escape over the border yet few political entities will permit political opponents more liberty than they must in relation to the natural cruelty or political necessity of the regime in power.

It is illustrative of the conditional use of the term exile today to compare Bin Ladin in possible clandestine 'exile' in Pakistan from terrorist bases in Afghanistan after the removal of the Taliban regime in the 2002 Afghan war with that of self-imposed-exile to avoid legal processes by political rivals former Prime Minister Bhutto of Pakistan accused of crimes in office by succeeding P.M./Junta leaders. It is convenient for political opponents to be removed as part of a deal for control by the new military governments on occasion. Exile's purposes haven't changed; just the technology, geographical and social relationships have. The broadcast media of any nation, and the ad hoc trans-national undemocratic broadcast 'empire' represent an ad hoc consortium of trans-national authoritarians (corporations are naturally opposed to democracy for-themselves and support it in nations only so far as it supports corporate increase politically and financially) that may afford no where within global broadcast network 'territory' for escape to exile. Exile may mean an escape to a social sub-class or removal from certain power centers. Exile may mean simply agreeing to a non-competition 'contract' with the establishment for some period of time or for a lifetime. In that way there are a variety of informal exile procedures, many illegal of course, in effect in the world today. Exile today, like American declarations of war, seldom reach the formality of legal proceeding, instead they are carried out through informal and effective adverse processes that enable removal from the protected compresence of political or social power and promotion.

Former Pakistani P.M. Nawaz Sharif was sent into exile, yet in the 1960s hundreds of thousands of Pakistanis and Hindus became refugees in exile as a process of formation after the cleansing. Social ethnic cleansing creating refugees in exile occurred in the former Yugoslavia during the 90s Balkin wars and is happening presently in Iraq as Shi'a and Sunni conflict in the wake of the removal of Saddam Hussein's government by the 2003 American led invasion. Thousands of Iraq's of each side have been killed by sectarian and terrorist forces while hundreds of thousands have gone into voluntary exile abroad for safety.

In exile today it may be convenient to conceal the term exile in order to deny that exiles occur. Exile may be enforced by structuring natural class conditions such that making a politically incorrect decision results in instant disqualification from residence. Perhaps it might be as trivial as building a fence taller than one permitted by a homeowners association causing an eventual expulsion from subdivision paradise, or removal from a social set when a proscribed set characteristic is found- Exile can be a self-exiling process in non-conformity to the established power. It is a perennial political device in that regard but the conditions of its applications have evolved and shall continue to do so until the unsaved are exiled forever to hell metaphorically speaking.

Camping's end-of the world prediction & volcanism

I learned something else about Harold Camping's day the rapture happens and end of the world formulas for 2001, and why 22 Russians abandoned their village and went to live in a remote mine-shaft cave because they believe the world ends next May. I'll write a little about the most prevalent current active end-of-the-world prediction broadcast widely.

Camping thinks the Biblical flood happened in the year 4911 B.C. and with some other calculating finds May 21st the day of rapture and beginning of five months of hell on Earth before its destruction on October 20th. The Russians might be old believers that have made similar calculations on the old calender.

In Quincy Washington where I grew up the whole region is called the channeled scabland for all of the tremendous volcanic flows that happened there 15 million years ago and Bonneville flood much more recently.
http://www.whitman.edu/geology/LocalGeo.html

A tremendous rift opened in the Earth's crust and lava and sulphur dioxide poured out for years creating a darkening of the Earth's skies and causing one of the five great mass extinctions in world history. The end times Biblical scenarios of tremendous earthquakes and a darkening of the skies have a somewhat similar account of the apocalypse. I think that interesting.

No I don't have confidence in end-of-the world predictions, yet there probably was a local flood that covered the 'world' of the lowlands of ancient Iraq about 5000 b.c., and there was another great volcanic rift in the crust in India's Deccan rift. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deccan_Traps that lasted maybe 30,000 years around 60 million years before present.

The hot spot in the Earth's mantle that caused the volcanism in Eastern Washington is not under Yellowstone Park (the Earth's crust in the North American plate is drifting slowly east). Old faithful has been irregular lately, and maybe human faith too-perhaps another volcanic rift will start in 2011 with five months of darkening skies and sulphur dioxide build-up until everyone is extinct-who knows? The rapture sounds good anyway.

So much for analysis of the theory-I am not very technical on the subject.

After the binge of turkey and tryptophan

Well, one could especially consider thanksgiving as an end and a beginning at which time people eat stuffed turkeys and become somulent because of the tryptophan in the meat of the bird that brings on drowsiness.

Like those turkeys people are somewhat stuffed with a lot of meat that perishes with age and things seem to go wrong by stages, and then one realizes that even the bones aren't that durable or eternal and perish, and thus Solomon noted that all is vanity and people perish like blades of grass. So, since that is the way it is one needs to write aesthetic poems about beautiful sunsets and clear, bright sunrises and ocean waves curling and breaking with millions of beautiful refracted sounds and such as infinite reflections of light in the waters that strike the eyes and realize that time is temporal (that's really redundant) and is physical particles or phenomena running from less disorder to more including complex disorder.

Time is evidently a dimension like space that goes in a particular direction, and its good for people that they change through aging as the dimension moves on or they would be stranded in time apart from it and the things it has for live ones that God reiterates a billion times better in the post-time eternity of all that very strange concatenation of everything possible all at once and infinitely too without limits of space or time.

Macro-economic drifts toward transnational oligharchy

Are we certain that a pure capitalism and free market applies in practice? Von Mises speculated that even if capitalism consolidated into one global corporation it would break up and become competitive I think. Competition is the nature of business some believe but is the consolidation of market elements by globalists in effect purchasing the global economy with accumulated capital advantage not a process of more than theory at work but instead a vicious historical phase of elimination of competition and movement toward global oligarchy and authoritarianism? Corporatist collectivism is an actual possible way of structuring a non-individual work base mass social business structure where promotion is upon attributes regarded as exploitable by others rather than through promotion of one-self by oneself for -oneself through work and initiative. A mass attribute based social structure is a less than optimal social development and instead created as phased array repressive society crushing intelligence and individual rights without concern as the market axiology is based on the value structures of individualism and individual civil rights.

Some of the terminology of macro-economic models that of macro-physics conventionally and needlessly perhaps, for one scientific lexicon of what comprises analogies may be as good as another. 'Force' is a prevalent term from physics used to account for essential observable causative or associated phenonemalities empirically. If force is a concept used in physics it must be good for economics explanations too then? Consumers have imperfect knowledge of course of material needs except for those most pressingly in need of relief such as a glass of pure, cool water, a warm blanket, freedom from tyranny and so forth-the destruction or mal-wearization of environmental abuse agents of biospheric corruption may also supply the material remedies to extreme individual material privations in some instances and 'market forces' might be better applied to 'political forces' to bring social compliance from targeted groups. Can it be fairly said alternatively that if some social environments provide consumers equivalently situated as to be like flowers awaiting pollination that they are being 'forced' by the market, or that they are 'marketing' at all? Individual actualization in a society would need a political economy that meets individual needs and leaves the remainder of time for individual constructions of projects and inventions as well as family interests-a macro-economic structure that is totalitarian would deny the political shaping of the economic production and allocation technology to such a direction that would liberate the individual to pursue free enterprise in the most optimal ways and instead subjugate 'consumers' to a cycle of work, debt and servitude for the benefit of oppressor classes of 'force'. It might also be said that the macro-economic flow models are of an anational basis such as one in biology might observe the dissemination of a virus globally without preference for individual interests. That implicit economic betrayal is a fundamental corruption of Adam Smith's cognition about economics serving a polity rather than a polity inducted into a detached, existential economic control by powerful, mysterious 'forces' known best by macro-economic astrologers.

Market forces in a totalitarian global environment are not free but are co-opted into selections of products that must be made as one has not got the option of moving to the frontier and leaving the economic territory when the frontier exists only with the total control of trans-national corporations and communes controlling local governments. Market forces are dictated in effect by the established owning class that decrees the inertial continuity of its own class interests in owning everything-one would find an even worse actualization of that phenomena in the communist party 'ownership' of the factories and government in the former Soviet Union. Unfortunately the cold war generated a stagnation in the development of western economic theory such that corporations were elevated to an undeserved theoretical prominence and held as the sole alternative to communist collectivism; thus corporations developed in the global communications era into a corporate collectivism that hasn't run its course yet with the board members as the communist elite and the workers as the proletariat supporting an ad hoc non-commissioned officer shareholder class.

There is still a lot of contingent free market enterprise in the world today but the inertia of established infrastructure prevents mass social changes or sales of products that would change mass systemic structures in America for example. An effective electric vehicle platform for 100 dollars with solar panels and thin film quick recharge batteries would put millions out of work and undermine profits of corporations. Not even Wal-mart will sell low cost wind power generators or solar panels for home use because the corporate trick is to keep everyone dependent on oil and global power supply as long as possible. Electric no-water use toilets would conserve water but undermine municipal waste structures and treatment investments.

Capitalism is supposed to function on a positive basis by creating product development investments, but in a totalitarian geographical social environment capital may be gained by the corrupt too much repressing individual enterprise, privacy and depressing the quality of life in order to prevent competition. In a totalitarian political territory the ideals of free competition in a capitalist economic structure do not have a matching political structure. Business takes over politics. In America a Mitt Romney with his Harvard MBA may follow President Bush with his to enrich a different group of globalist investors while national interests comparatively decline. Adam Smith believed that capitalism should augment a democracy not replace it yet corporatists are too willing to do that today unaware that democracy must be protected for-itself as well as a nation and quality of life for citizens.

Historically the issues aren't new. Isolation isn't the remedy but a M.I.T.I. like analysis of how to invent new businesses that will reduce trade deficits and liberate the people from personal debt is a way to move government. I will provide some philosophical background on the most general analysis of state structures by considering Socrates and Plato.

Socrates was given the hemlock to drink and put to death by the Athenian State-not Plato. Plato is said by some to be the greatest philosopher ever, yet he isn't known to have written anything about himself at all...he wrote the Republic, The Meno and all the other books with Socrates as the philosopher credited with saying all the philosophically leading content. It was Plato that established the Academy that instructed in philosophy (alethia) and carried on the tradition.

Socrates believed in God and Plato did as well by inference. The God they believed in was the One that the neo Platonist Plotinus wrote about six or seven hundred years later. Plato developed the complex idea of the realm of forms, and other people writing that I have read have pointed out that Parmenides is credited with starting the thought paradigms that Plato later developed as the metaphysical aspects of the realm of forms that was again more fully developed by Plotinus. Parmenides was a pre-Socratic philosopher worth checking out with a google search.

Socrates was accused of corrupting youth by instructing them in philosophical method and critical thinking about politics and everything else regarding opinion, or theory of knowledge (epistemology). He had the option to leave Athens and live in exile but choose not to but instead to perish saying that the state had nurtured him and he would accept their judgment. The Athenian state compared to the modern state in America was a very simple democracy. There had been an oligarchy that did not trust the demos or populus. Today in the U.S.A. tran-national corporate interests and over influence nationally by a globally owned broadcast media have corrupted and obfuscated the democracy in the United States and brought it close to the corporate collectivism envisioned by Mussolini, helped in by Henry Ford and Adolph Hitler, admired as a fulfillment of Marxist worldly economic dialects and an ephemeral, stagnating uncreative entity that morphs too easily into decline and fall, war, chaos and autocratic rule even by a special central committee.

Plato and Socrates had it easy comparatively in contemplating the ideal state. Today Americans must decide for themselves if a nation is worth having, if capitalism is pure or corrupted by mob control, if capitalism is the highest possible progress in economic actualization for individual interests or if new economic systems supported by federal policy could be invented and so forth. The founders were for national interests before transnational interests, and even Plato wrote about the Republic as one state-the Romans did well with that until they became a trans-national empire too diverse for coherence as subverted by a plethora of problems and pleasures.

Clinton-Giuliani and the Golden Tablets of New York Candidates in 2008

The United States Ought to Restore Diplomatic Relations and Barbeque With Iran
The new U.S. Embassy in Iraq is a self-contained, costly to build yet defensible neo-fortress. It should be instructive for how to build a new embassy in Iran that would cost less than five billion dollars-make it a suicide embassy that will self-destruct if captured and have embassy evacuation rockets built into special embassy upward mobility silos to get embassy personnel out if Ahmadinejad decides on a second helping of hostages. Automatic robotic machine guns should supplement marine embassy guards to hose down bad guys and let marines evac too on a special marine personnel intermediate range personnel rocket promoter. There would also need to be pop-up ghetto blaster anti pirate air to ground mines built into the embassy to clear the way for the evacuation rockets creating clear spaces without opposition force personnel apt to fire earth to sky shoulder fired rockets at evacuation rockets. Well that was simple. Let's establish cordial relations with Iran right away since the main hostage taker is President and clearly regrets the embassy 'episode' from 1979.

The next President elected in 2008 will probably have a peace offensive like Ronald Regan's tough guy posture to advance right and proper relations with Iran. A special propflit has divulged the existence of golden tablets brought to him in the state of New York indicating that destiny will elect a New Yorker President in 2008. The demiurge Moronsknee vouchsafed the tablets with political plans were near either the Clinton's or Giuliani's homes. Mitt Transmit Read-only-memory knee- a Presidential special business interest candidate from Massachusetts has provided a sign that a politician from the State of the Golden Tablets will inevitably be elected. he tablets may contain secret extra-terrestrial information that Giuliani or Hillary is the special choice of the special extra-terrestrial committee on international relations and diplomacy able to become President and establish cordial relations with Iran in this space-time continuaa that isn't the best of all possible universes. Transmit R.O.M.-knee broadcasts peace and pleasure for all trans-nationalists and higher corporate quarterly propflits. Romknee himself has a quarter billion dollars or whatever himself scored being a business consultant, and he will assure that trans-nationalism under the guidance of golden tablet qualified New Yorkers will bring harmony to Iran, Iraq and other troubled regions of the trans-nation

The true way of moron-knee lies in moving President Ahmadinejad through subtle diplomatic skill toward electrification of the Persian royal road with advanced solar electron channeling materials able to move electric flying carpet platforms with mag-lev to and from Tehran embassies and restaurants without secret police surveillance-The improbable has occurred before.

Problems with utilitarianism today

Harold Camping has predicted the second coming of Jesus Christ for October 20th, 2011, and others vomit at the concept that anyone can know the mind of God or accurately predict the day. Well, there are bioethical and utilitarian ethical issues to examine today. Every day for the unsaved is a day of doom that can be changed only when they get into a right and saving relationship with Jesus Christ. I will write a little following about the criterion of utilitarianism and it's effects on how society is being influenced in its ethical decision making generally on issues from abortion to transhumanism, transnationalism and pharmaceutical product development. Many of these things 'doom' society toward an end of a healthy and prosperous, secure United States as greed gets the best of reason, philosophy and faith too much...

Value theory or axiology would entail utilitarianist approaches toward structuralisms of any ethical paradigm, template or 'principles' for determining right and wrong, permissibility and so on for applications purposes. Unfortunately value theory in-the-world today would largely be inertially determined in accordance with other macro-social facticities such as social organization-utilitarianism then would become a sycophantic ethical kiss up device for consumerism and corporatism. The greatest good for the greatest number would be transformed into the greatest profit for the most powerful shareholders.

There are a number of factors and actors that corrupt capitalism today, and in the corruption of capitalism whereby a pure individualistic free enterprise marketplace does not exist because of established collectivist and power oriented corruptions of the principles of capitalism the purchase of expert ethical opinions for wealthy and flim flam biomedical corporations along with tort deform to release transnational corporations from large civil damages for creating mass social negative alterity is a fact.

Because people define morality and ethics themselves unless they can find a natural law or a divine command theory, they may egress ethical values farther and farther toward the edge of social dissolution in pursuit of the profits gained by selling cures to individual problems that compile destruction for the human race as a whole. The value principle of exploiting the most unrepresented or least able to defend elements of society such as unborn children in the womb is also a time proven principle.

The principle of exploiting the weak or politically underrepresented works for the powerful. It applies even in environmental extraction industry exploitation for profits of transnational corporations at the cost of national and global interests. The value theory contents that provide the criterion in which ethical theories and principles are selected and applied is subject to the global control of corruption in high places determined inertially to exert it's own proprietary interests and that does not include undominated or unsubdued change socially.

In the United States the 2008 Presidential race is a facade of candidates without a nationalist amongst them except for Ron Paul maybe but probably not. As a Texas congressman he must be sold out right and left to transnational oil and environmental exploitation. The Unite States in pursuit of trans-national oil profits is selling out its national independence instead of transitioning with a purpose right away to independent electrical production at home for the power of electric cars. Electric cars are the sole practical way presently to liberate the nation from the self-destructive binge of fossil fuel consumption that transfers American wealth to the Muslim world. Yet not even Wal-mart has the ability to sell 1000 watt wind power generators for 300 dollars because of the corporatist value principle loyalty to oil and American dependence on trans-national power suppliers. Bioethics also tend to follow the will of the profit seekers except where two heads are grown where only one is wanted and so forth-the most extreme cases. Bioethics are found today within the value theory of corporatism or atheist collectivism rather than in utilitarianism. Utilitarianism has several problems a significant one being the meaningful paradigm for determination of what the good is.
