Renewal of N.S.A. Phone Surveillance, Panopticon, Plutonomy and Rev. Al Sharpton
Jeremy Bentham as founder of the utilitarian philosophy also developed the design of a panopticon. A panopticon was an institution where all of the inmates could be under the eyes of ubiquitous surbveillance. Ed Snowden's revelations about the National Security Agency's contributions to developing a global panopticon ruled by a manipulative Plutonomy were anticipated by a John Twelvehawk's trilogy ending in 2009 with The Golden City

The .I.S.A. court renewed the N.S.A.'s authority to record phone records of U.S. citizens Saturday in spite of the recent dust up after the Edward Snowden wikileaks.

One wonders of Ed Snowden has found a Russian ebook publisher yet to provide the inside story on his exfiltration of classified information to the public in some sort of Pentagon Papers style. The Rev. Al Sharpton meanwhile is filling the news cycle with continuing street protest marches to get the Justice Department to charge the Florida neighborhood watch guy with hate crimes or other civil rights violation in the death of Trayvon Martin.
The plutonomy is concentrating national wealth. The real income of white males hasn't risen since 1973 in the U.S.A. The affirmative action classes of the past should upgrade from a 1960s paradigm and recognize that it is the rich and inside Wall Street networks that are the real socio-economic power in the U.S.A. these days. They are the key to populist economic fate rather than white males. The rich have no color for political purposes. They are an invisible empire of egoistic power pragmatically speaking.
The way to improve the standard of living for U.S. blacks isn't through creating a special and different class of race rights, reduction of self-defense right while avoiding demand for increased taxation of the rich and reforming capitalism through law for the benefit of democracy to reduce the gap between rich, poor and middle class. If black youth as well as others were fully employed or good students with a quality culture in a recovering ecosphere with full employment far fewer individuals would be shot in self-defense.
A global panopticon with few individual rights and a disarmed populace fully monitored by a zillion chips and surveillance modes in every aspect of their life might have been an ideal of B.F. Skinner as well as Jeremy Bentham for its greatest good for the greatest number as well as the intensity of happiness by the ruling elite. Yet a prison is still a prison even if its more of a planetary lunatic asylum of meatheads fulfilling their organic impulses benevolently dominated by a Plutonomy.
Needless to say that is not the American dream. It might lead to mindless consumerism and a networked capitalism that is an economic gambling house redistributing wealth and political power to the 1%. The world ecosphere may continue to decline because none of the businesses can afford to go out of business because of environmental legislation. Neither can large corporations afford to let corporate size be capped at 5000 workers or the number of shares of any corporation an individual could own stock shares in at three. Downsizing capitalism so that it is more competitive, less networked, more human and with alpha local rather than global personality leadership would be anathema to the Plutonomy.

President Obama Identifies Himself With Trayvon Martin All Over Again
President Obama identified himself once again with the late Trayvon Martin In what was an emotional expression of sympathy for the 17 year old because of his race, the strain of years in office was beginning to show on the Presidential judgment.In the hot July sunshine political I.Q. can decrease a little. He evidently hasn't concern for the other young man who must get on with his life as best as he can.
Some might say that having Fed Reserve Chief Bernanke give 85 billion dollars of month of zero interest loans to big banks is a kind of looting of the economy along with the trillions of Federal deficit spending swag, yet that doesn't make the President a potential burglar attacking a neighborhood watch guy. Maybe Ronald Reagan's sacking of David Stockman was more like that.
Florida is a dangerous place with hundreds or thousands of criminal gangs. Youth according to Federal statistics perpetrate the vast majority of crimes in that state. Sometimes people aggressive enough to burgle can assault hapless watchmen. The President has made a stand your ground law of Florida an issue though that wasn't the defense line. Follow enough possible burglars and one might attack the watcher is the lesson to take home. Being a volunteer defender an be dangerous.
In exploiting George Zimmerman as a representative of blacks being shot by policemen or white people the President attacks the civil rights of Americans to defend their life against felony assault - Zimmerman probably was attacked in the engagement by Martin, and in making the issue preponderantly a race issue the President is hoisting a race flag. American society may be more competitive and filthy lucre oriented than it should be, but the left also failed to move it toward egalitarianism by ending the Bush -Obama tax cuts. A non-violent, non-homosexual, non-corrupt and highly educated black social environment is the better direction to take. It would be helpful is the President took positive steps to make society better for all of the poor and middle class instead of following a divide and impoverish line.

Some Americans are concerned about the President's attack on American civil rights through the shills of homosexuals hegemony, N.S.A. interception of all American phone calls and Internet service, help in concentrating wealth for the rich, failure to veto the Bush era tax cuts on the rich twice that seem to diminish the middle class and poor in America in favor of a global Plutonomy. There are valid F.B.I. crime statistics available that show the number of Americans killed by guns annually is very moderate considering the population is over 300 million. Moving the U.S.A. toward a communist Chinese bureaucratic social order where the elites have more rights than the masses is unacceptable. How many mass broadcast network stations are owned by the poor or a middle class family? All one gets is the propaganda of the rich, and of course the shills of the rich.

Quantum Cosmology in the Platonic Realm of Forms
This is a continuing development of a philosophical line renormalizing contemporary quantum cosmology within the Platonic realm of forms. In a philosophical science fiction context a Universal widget discusses the context of the reality of two individuals standing before it. Patrick Voevoda and Yvonne have been translated into a reality produced by the Universal widget after being extracted from a Planet of Insignificant Kingdoms in Perennial eco-and social conflict. Voevoda discusses his thoughts with the W.W. (wonderful widget).
http://youtu.be/BTKQZCQ9XYU
http://youtu.be/BTKQZCQ9XYU
"The cyborgs are godless enforcers
of atheism made with computer aided design and manufactured to consumer
specifications with partial human brains operating the most wicked relevant
machinery bodies necessary to keep the leavening mass of choose-for-you in
power. Beyond a slash in the rodina, a deep chasm that is a tear in the fabric
of reality, Cyborg Massachoose are produced in the blood shining city on a hill
we see through a cloud of dust darkly if at all. When Massachoose programmers
iterated corrupting control alogorithms winning the last battle of the final
four world brawls the Eastern Evil Empire of Insignificance swoll like no other
before."
'Next millennium will the insignificant
Eastern Evil Empire select a new Massachoose ruling clan clique"?
"They always promise so I would
suppose. They have been talking about power sharing for the last few hundred
years at least."
And with that final piece of
insignificant information uttered Bull Querdo expired to begin the process of
becoming one with the dust of the moat of death.
The ground dissolved under us though we
didn't sink. It became more transparent with myriad firefly like atom-sized
widgets replacing the minerals of a planet. Fewer widgets replaced the
atmosphere as well, then the city itself faded away to transform into trillions
of little widgets resembling the appearance of the Universal widget we
encountered in the planet Spud. We were still able to breathe.
"What is this widget transformation
Pat?"
It seems that the widget
can boot up into reality at whatever scale converting mass energy into little
widgets directly. Apparently the widget is more fundamental than the Higgs
Field. You notice that gravity has stopped and time has quit. Relativity
coheres with mass and energy so with the widget replacing mass and energy time
has become relativistic, discrete and stationary as an attribute of the widget
field following whatever way the widget sentience or directions-from whatever
source that might be, wills.
"So that means that
besides no gravity there is no time either?"
Evidently Yvonne. We
seem sustained by some personal field developed concurrently with the widget
field. The widgets haven't yet consumed our mass energy. The space-time energy
for-ourselves coincides with experience of being.
"Your spacetime is
one of my memories" the sky replied.
"I think that was
the widget Patrick"
Yes of course it is
Yvonne.
I asked the widget 'So
how's life?'
"Same old, same
old" spake the widget.
Though we are a memory
widget, I think we are real even so. We exist as real independent beings within
your present memory.
"How thoughtful you
are Patrick Voevoda. Think about this; as all widgets that exist in widget
reality are of my sentient design, and since all things that I made to exist
could be constructed in any time order it follows that everything I think is
pre-determined to exist phenomenally."
The widget evidently
created its form as a local infinity of discrete widgets without any content
from the standard model of quantum physics. It could build its own content and
scale up or down with relativistic mass. Its own mass was relativity to its
intention with variables of composition forming unique steady state of
fundamental energy. Energy without space-time mass needed to exist in quantum
packets that weren't of infinite values themselves. Time could be reassembled
into whatever structure the widget configured.
Yvonne asked,
"Widget of widgets have you a name?"
"No one ever
asked. Of course I have a name."
Well that settles that
Yvonne.
I asked the widget,
"No time is passing now for us. You must replace our standard mass quanta
with your own steady state quanta as we speak, continuously?"
"Patrick Voevoda, for now you are
one of my memories as is Yvonne. When I return you to a Universe 1 context you
will resume normal local independence. Everything I encounter physically
becomes one of my memories. You have a spiritual identity-a name known only to
the One who is Three persons of course. I haven't data on where or how that
exists. I am concerned with widget works generally. Pure spirit is of a finer
nature than my own."
"That's all right widget. I think
you must have spirit too in order to be given such a prominent role,"
"Nice of you to say so Yvonne."
You may know that some refer to you as The
Wonderful Widget.
"It's nice to have fans."
Well W. W., I think we do exist as beings
for ourselves and not simply as echoes of solipsistic ideas of your.
"Explain"
A human beings converted to ash weighs
about six pounds. The rest that was burned off was mostly hydrogen and oxygen
as water made into vapor. That six pounds of disorganized chemical residue with
water added was a human being because of its structure. Structure and the
abstract form of structure, one might call it order to organizing principle is
the essence of existence. I think the fundamental organizing principle is the
Intellect of God.
Let me say something about what was
commonly said about quantum cosmology in the 21st century...
Fields were the fundamental element of being known to
physics. Particles get mass from fields. Field symmetry breaking let local
forces arise such as the strong force and the electroweak force. Massless
particles (bosons) exist as vibrations traveling through a non-local field such
as the electro-magnetic with bosons such as photons and gravitons. Particles
with mass occur in gauge fields a.k.a. local fields. Mass is comprised of
Fermions, although heavy bosons with mass (i.e. Higgs boson) can exist
virtually (temporarily) before breaking down into other particles.
Are dimensions micro-gauge fields bound in place? Massless
particles are emergent vibrations in a field. Imagine a straight rope laying on
the ground. One takes an end of the rope and may give it a flipt sending a wave
down its length. That is like a photon in an electromagnetic field or a
graviton in a gravity field in fewer dimensions. It is a phenomenal particle at
any given place or time where it is moving through yet it is really just the
rope-field as three dimensional field fluctuating.
Imagines a Higgs field in three dimensions in a shape more
like a sphere than a rope, and that field is where the Universe occurs.
Particles with mass develop through contingent local fields arising within the
primary field. Symmetry breaking is the usual suspect for the development of
local fields and particles with mass.
Mass seems
to be particles that are hierarchically bound within local fields. Massless
particles can pass through local fields yet not vice versa. Mass is a hierarchy
of standing waves in local fields within the non-local Higgs field.
Consider
the nature of fields-what determines the scale and quality of a primordial
field like the Higgs field, what delimits it, and what its dynamic values are?
Ought a field be expected to have harmonic or to lose energy? Is a field
inevitably a collection of quanta emerging from some deeper field?
Did Einstein's ten-value metric tensor of
General Relativity describing the curvature of space-time actually describe
change in quantity and quantity for local Higgs field values (or relationships
to condensed mass or gauge fields within)? Is vacuum energy a metric for change
in the Higgs field over time?
W.W., I believe our structure as human
beings is structured, determined being by the Creator of Being especially as
our lives are meta-temporal virtual lives that can be transformed through
compatible fields retaining coherent form. Pre-determined by the Creator
contingent beings in virtual form within virtual fields adapted by virtual
beings to host forms appearing from a Library of Forms of the will of God.
"Yes Voevoda-one, that you may have
a mapped structure existing in The Library of Forms of God is a sweet
premise for existential independence from my memory for Yvonne and yourself.
Even if I locate the contingent form-structure you were in Universe 1 and
expropriate that for my own meta-structural idea widget thought processing unit
the form itself is a reflection of the Universal, non-local form each of you
have in The Library of Forms."

Next Administration Should Set Up Moon Farming Under Glass Program
Growing very large veggies in large lunar craters under glass ought to a solid N.A.S.A. farming project. Getting ice from comets for watering should be part of the research. N.A.S.A. should be a leader at growing two foot in diameter potatoes in lunar regolith (dirt) so future astronauts can super size fresh fries...seriously.
That's the sort of project private enterprise budgets won't fund. Growing food on the moon to feed future space travelers around the solar system is a good idea though. If it was very productive some product could be downloaded to a hungry Earth population being desertified with global warming from SUVs.

Ed Snowden Asks Russia for Asylum Yet the Plutonomy is Global
Ed Snowden has asked Russia for political asylum stating that he would face possible torture and execution if returned to the U.S.A. Sharem Flughaven is a cool place to spend the northern summer and Siberia a better refuge for dissidents (has the Gulag Archipelago been converted in to time shares yet?) of course yet water boarding of N.S.A. contracting turncoats probably isn't usual yet. Probably Snowden would have a longer life span if he were to apply to the federal government for asylum from the global Plutonomy that is probably the real shadow government behind all of the troubles of the age creating high unemployment in America.
He probably would get a fair trial and no more than a tenner in the Supermax prison outside Fort Collins Co at level one. He really ought to stop distributing classified data though, the public is already saturated with the headlines and they really don't give a damn about the particulars. They know that data mining is ubiquitous amongst by the Plutonomy already. Bamford's Shadow Factory already informed us of the cable beam splitter in San Francisco on the trans-pacific cable from Asia. Snowden's disclosures seem actually new.
The world is too small to hide from the Plutonomy consolidating global wealth and political power. If Snowden returned home in style making a genuine statement of his allegiance to American democracy he would still get a fair day in court with a reasonable jury. Of course he would be shackled and manacled at the arrival gate and be in prison perhaps a decade or two. People do respect a patriot though, even if they are misguided.

Eric Holder's Civil Rights Blues-Zimmerman and the Neighborhood Watch Program
Where is the fine line between political opportunism throwing accelerant on to tragic individual incidents and genuine civil political issues to be drawn? Probably the broadcast media should be given over to Internet citizen time-slice podcasting so terrorists, politicians and demigogues can no more exploit the p.r. power of mass media. Did the Attorney General join in on the side of the racial rapid response political opportunism force post hoc? Doesn't that violate the real human rights of the acquitted individual?
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/07/17/doj-seeking-tips-in-zimmerman-probe/
The Attorney General Eric Holder has said his department will investigate possible civil rights violation by the neighborhood watch guy George Zimmerman though he was acquitted by a jury of guilt in the death of Trayvon Martin. The Attorney General seems to feel the particular case of Zimmerman v Martin is a class representation of deeper social issues of black youth being shot by law enforcement people or neighborhood watch volunteers. What are the actual statistics on black youth being shot by neighborhood watch volunteers?

The Attorney General seems to feel the particular case of Zimmerman v Martin is a class representation of deeper social issues of black youth being shot by law enforcement people or neighborhood watch volunteers. What are the actual statistics on black youth being shot by neighborhood watch volunteers?
There is a five to one ratio of
black felony suspects being killed by policemen to policemen being killed by
black felony suspects. That number seems about right considering that policemen
are trying to make an arrest and that's dangerous sometimes. Neighborhood watch
statistical relations to crime suspects are something else, and probably there
isn't much in the way of an F.B.I. crime survey on that.
So the deeper underlying question
the attorney general may pursue is; does a neighborhood watch have any right to
observe a neighborhood as a crime defense prophylaxis. A secondary question is
does a neighbor watch volunteer have any right of self-defense if an individual
being observed closes with the volunteer and begins beating the tar out of him
or her? Uniform rules of engagement for a neighborhood watch could be enumerated by Mr. Holder consistent with the constitution of the United States
Police that Zimmerman called that
night advised that he not follow the individual through the neighborhood.
Police experience informs them that potential criminals are dangerous people to
follow. A normal individual would probably not seek to attack someone following
them, yet a wired up youth might, as well as an antagonized gang associate yet
perhaps not a hard core criminal who might find it advantageous to avoid a
decisive engagement that wasn't profitable. If Zimmerman had followed hundreds
of individuals through the neighborhood before without a violent conflict he
probably wouldn't have a belief that doing so the fateful night would lead to a
conflict then. Being a neighborhood watch person does have risks however,
probably higher than that of an individual not participating in a neighborhood
watch program.
It would be helpful if a personal
digital audio-cam witness were sold for ten dollars that would upload whatever
one experienced during the day or night to a 'flight recorder black box' online
in case needed. If one had a record of every cold-blooded evil thing people
ever had to say to strangers because they knew no one would ever have a record
or witness it might make social behavior better. Policemen departments are
beginning to have such for their field personnel. It will take a while for a
reduced and specialized smart phone like device to be produced and uplink to
lifewitness.com.
There are tens of thousands of
neighborhood watch signs posted around the nation. Those strolling through the
neighborhoods might feel a little uncomfortable that, they are being eyeballed
and ought to be on good behavior. If the role of neighborhood watch volunteer
is common, it is also probably an effective way to fill in some of the gaps
through which burglars and other criminals plunder neighborhoods without
sufficient coverage by undermanned and costly police departments around the
nation. The idea that citizens should help themselves and their neighbors
before relying on a central government to defend them is a principal that was
created by the founders who revolted against the British authority. For the
better part of a century there was very little government existing in American
internal affairs in comparison to the present.
The attorney general with the ear of
the President probably should know that the basic problem in urban crime today
is youth gangs and gang busting to end their existence is probably a better
tactic to reduce violence. The gangsta ethos and the shoeless droopy pants chic
while a social expression is a sign of a less than intellectually optimized
social environment. Bill Cosby had something to say about the youth social milieu,
and the Presidential race-to-the-top (not sitting on George Zimmerman smashing
his head in to the concrete) education program sought to upgrade the
educational status of black youth I suppose, yet the problem of high national
unemployment while enriching a global Plutonomy are things the President could
repair if he had ideas to do so.
There is a race against global
ecosphere decay that will overcome a society distracted by a dialectical racism
administered by a dull central government incapable of change or reform
defaulting to reliance on 'evolution' as an orientalized joss in favor of their
desired, myopic political economy direction.
Attorney General Holder addressing 14,000 members of the black sorority (segregated sororities?) Delta Sigma Theta said its a good time for the nation to look at emotional charged issues (of the neighborhhood watch program?). The administration seems determined to make George Zimmerman the poster man for white Hispanic profiling of black youth by police departments around the nation. What occurred to me is that there seems to be a serialized profiling made by certain well-known black leaders of incidents such as Tawana Brawley, the Duke Lacrosse Team etc that are used for racial media posturing that turn out to be ill founded. The O.J.; trial also might fit in to that set, or a borderline case at least. If O.J. had been white or Hispanic its unlikely anyone would have been racial motivated to make a class symbol of his defense. The Rodney King beating seems to have been a genuine case and the social reaction indicative of the cultural dysfunction of the community. When Bill Cosby's son was shot on the Los Angeles freeway by a Russian immigrant criminal the race rapid deployment team was comparatively subdued. No riots developed, why was that? Did an immigrant have no class symbol political utility for the r.r.d.t.?
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/06/03/al-sharpton-s-long-bill-of-goods-from-tawana-brawley-to-primetime.html
http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/college_guide/blog/the_aftermath_of_the_duke_lacr.php
There is a rapid deployment political force waiting to exploit any possible circumstance where injustice might be claimed to have victimized blacks one again. For the attorney general who leads the justice department to be on that bandwagon seems especially silly. It is challenging to equate George Zimmerman's neighborhood watch self-defense incident with the Los Angeles police department and Rodney King. One is aware of the historical origin of the difficulties of black adaptation to the post-segregated social era yet Americans actually would prefer that black Americans get over it and improve their lot in life becoming good conservators of the ecosphere and of the civil rights of all Americans simply because they are citizens of the United States.
http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2013/06/03/al-sharpton-s-long-bill-of-goods-from-tawana-brawley-to-primetime.html
The attorney generals main focus should be eliminating gangsters and encouraging reading of good books instead of eliminating neighborhood watch programs.
Since the Attorney General gave his message at Delta Sigma Theta about George Zimmerman's personal tragedy as a class symbol, a somewhat pimpish approach to law instead of through legislation. George Zimmerman's human rights are violated by all the media and government use of his life circumstance for symbolic political purposes.
Consider the case in the abstract with the antagonists as literal values and race and gender values different. Equal protection of the laws is the goal to go for rather than race or gender rights.
We will make Trayvon Martin a 17-year old white girl who is perennially tardy neo-dropout and recreational drug user wandering through a neighborhood perhaps venturing into yards around houses in the dark of night concerned more about looking good than good grades. George Zimmerman is a chubby 28-year old black Hispanic serving as a neighborhood watch. He sees a tall, six foot two figure in a hoody concealing her identity and calls the police who advise him not to follow her further. Yet good George having experience spanning hundreds of no-problem missions watching the neighborhood goes into the breach once more knowing that it isn't illegal to follow an individual or gang through his neighborhood.
Unfortunately for George the girl he is watching senses his presence and isn't happy with it. She has an attitude and a racial chip on her shoulder. She also hates chauvinist pigs keep her down but knows her kung foo is good. She ditches George in a yard. Curious George gets out of his truck and wonders what happened to the observed. Trayvon flanks George like an infantryman making an end around an approaches the old pig from behind. With a shocking quickly combination of punches she has taken George down. Riding the bull she is slamming his head into the sidewalk. With unchallengeble self-assertion of her civil rights mashing the pig she knew she is on top and readying to reduce opposition force numbers by one. George the neighborhood watch guy manages to pull out a gun in the struggle and shoots Trayvon.
The rapid response racial team discovers the tragic incident, the President and Attorney General join in entering the dragon war of symbolism attacking neighborhood watchmen for profiling young urban white women as criminals. A jury acquits George saying he acted in self defense yet the Attorney General said he will give due diligence to studying the curious case of George to determine if he violated the civil rights of George by defending himself.
