Senate Democrats Use Nuclear Option to End Minority Filibusters

The U.S. Senate voted today to end the power of minority parties to filibuster confirmation votes. In what may be another short-term gain strategy to pack the government with Obama left-leaning nominees blocked from confirmation by Senate Republicans the administration and Sen. Harry Reed have set the stage for long range recovery by conservative nominees of the bad fiscal order of the U.S. Government.

Far too many Americans are out of work while the administration has cooked the unemployment books to make happy meals for news consumers.

Original American First Peoples Included Western Europeans

Excavations from a site near Lake Baikal Siberia that is 24,000 years old unearthed bones that have genes of west Europeans. Evidently Western Europeans also were heading East at the end of the Wisconsin Ice Age with others that migrated to North America. That explains why first peoples in America have such a large proportion of West European genes.

People from Eurasia have been migrating since ancient times to the new world…as long ago as 35,000 B.C. The racial bias against Europeans for reaching America from the Irish voyages and the Albs to the Vikings, Columbus and Cabot is more political than anything else. It would be crass racial bias to be anti-European American when their ancestors too numbered among the first people having blended in sexually to form then hybrid North American superman voyager.

The American spirit of exploration can only be repressed by radical leftist political correctness and bias flowing throw elitist Universities. Yet hopefully we (North Americans) shall overcome some day and get a solid moon base built from native materials started.

Democrat Uncertainty on Mid-East Policy and Troop Levels

The Obama administration has been recalcitrant on making firm continuing U.S. military assistance to Iraq and Afghanistan. That is something of a Democrat Party tradition. They prefer that proxies do the killing as building up the Syrian conflict instead of building peace. Keeping stability after a conflict is even more worthwhile that getting a conflict started that could have been honorably avoided with a modicum of finesse. Original sin drives political rationalizations toward bad ends on occasion.

The Clinton administration wasn't hot about ending the sanctions era on Iraq that let 50,000 to 100,000 civilians die annually for several years. One wonders about the cliche of penny wise and pound foolish. We failed to keep a sustained support for the Afghans after the end of the war against the Soviets and that led to a Taliban hegemony while out coolness toward the Shi'a in the region seems to have helped embolden the Sunni Al Qaeda of Iraq. P.M. Maliki asked for U.S. troops for training and intelligence I suppose. We probably ought to send 5000 black op special forces advisers to indicate our support for the lawful government and opposition to terrorism.

The Obama administration has many challenges presently involving truthfulness.  That's a perennial problem for governments of course especially when amplified by a corrupt broadcast media that ought to be replaced by a broadcast slice populism for every interested web user locally. The administration seems to have dissimulated to voters on the real unemployment rate and on elements of Obamacare during the 2012 election in order to get over. In Afghanistan one wonders to what extent truthfulness matters to the leading parties of both countries?

If the United States should practice a kind of constructive engagement with Iraq and Afghanistan for the long run neither should we neglect the changes in Turkey that have brought the end of ancient Christian churches. The administration seems rather anemic on border security, balancing the federal budget, cutting spending, creating full employment and reducing the drug problem nationally instead of reinforcing it with legal dope.

The administration seems interested in sending trainers to Libya in order ostensibly to counteract armed militia neo-insurgents. That seems like amorphous conflict building instead of building up a democracy yet who can say? The coolness toward Egypt's government and policy of restoring some sort of Muslim Brotherhood Party role seems another failure of realpolitik. I guess all of that is a distraction from the Snowden Files revelations about bugging the phones of European leaders. The explanation was spying on friendly nations is s.o.p.

In my opinion much of this is the result of nihilist populism encouraged by godless atheists. Nothing really matters except personal egoism and the annihilation of faith, spiritual development and virtue are de rigeur for those so in love with Darwinism they cannot even have an interest is how the temporal form of mass-energy is just a tiny thread amid the eternal Spirit of God. The intellectual lethargy of atheism returning to simple pure materialism ad infinitum is a kind of malaise of the soul. When America becomes a little bit symbolic of meaning nothing it probably is harder to win friends in Moslem countries. When the Obama administration appears to have little regard for Christianity it is understandable that the unwell educated would have a bad example to emulate. At least the administration should be constant in expressing and acting on affordable continuing military security for Iraq.

Cosmology and the Realm of Forms

I have developed a synthetic exposition of Platonic thought with a Christian context and published that recently in a book titled 'The Universal Widget - In the Realm of Forms'.

http://www.lulu.com/shop/garrison-clifford-gibson/a-universal-widget-in-the-realm-of-forms/ebook/product-21268508.html]lulu.com/shop/garrison-clifford-gibson/ ... 68508.html

The method is science fiction with a philosopher of Mars named Patrick Voevoda commissioned to locate a missing Universal widget from the Higgs-Masonic lodge of the enigmatic planet Temprova. That investigation leads to a description of the Universal widget, the Universal form and the realm of forms.

As a believer in God it is simpler to consider the logic of the necessity of being and the attributes of God than it would for one with a bias of unbelief. From my point of view being is eternal and nothingness is an aspect of the temporal evolution of being necessary for the field's percepts of sentient life to be experienced.

Contemporary cosmology and philosophy tend to view Platonism with a rear view mirror and as a quaint artifact of the past evolution of philosophical formalism. Even neo-Platonism is described at some on-line sites as an anachronism of Byzantine Empire. Much of that is a consequence of the rise of scientific materialism and its efforts for rigid technical accuracy and dismissal of error. Scientific method is myopic on non-technical topics not uncommonly. Lawyers as politicians may bring excellent argumentation skills even to mathematics or economic theory yet beyond the narrower range of legal disputes they may have no implicit capacity for accuracy or expertise. Scientist may have a similar fallacy of belief that expertise in their field brings them to be less than ignorant far afield. Quine at least helped brake down that mistake with his 'Two Dogmas of Empiricism' yet one might wonder if that is considered in 'The Age of Fracture' where existentialism has become something of a business ethical criterion along with the political (do your own thing).

 I have tried to bring the topic of the core of the ideas of Socrates via Plato on metaphysics into modern terms. It seems that there are Universal forms in quantum mechanics. All of the standard model quanta seem to have standard forms as Higgs field downloads into the steady state. It may be that there are Universal forms of quantum fields, and some cosmologists have tried I think to make standard forms of Universes of a multiverse. 

God logically is eternal. I won't venture far into describing the logic of eternal being here. Temporality and Universes as evolving temporal manifestations of an eternal being may in some way simply be relativistic macro-scale subjective phenomenalities of God being. For-himself there may be an infinite matrix of being of existing things perceptible or known for-himself and for subjective monads of however many dimensions as he wills. Given the complexity of human neurology and thought-there are more potential though connections in a human brain than number of star in the 135 billion galaxies of the observable Universe- it is easy to imagine that the sophistication of thought structures of the eternal God surpass that infinitely. Forms spoken into being are a marvel.

James Madison's Biblical Source for Idea of Three Branches of Government

The United States was founded by Christians. Its fundamental government structure is based on the Judeo-Christian idea of God from the book of Isaiah.

"The three branches of the U.S. Government: Judicial, Legislative, Executive"

At the Constitutional Convention of 1787 James Madison proposed the plan to divide the central government into three branches. He discovered this model of government from the Perfect Governor, as he read (K.J.V.) Isaiah 33:22;

“For the LORD is our judge,

the LORD is our lawgiver,

the LORD is our king;

He will save us.”"

To ban Biblical references from the U.S. Government would in effect require the end of the constitutional system of three branches of Government. It may happen  that some crass would be dictators would seek to do so.

Americans can however find rest in the Lord. God is infinite ion all things, and all things are a manifestation of His will. One may find rest in nature though the only way to salvation is through the soteriological works of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Nature is being. In the existential ensemble of experience nature is the given. Human social thought and interaction seem more temporal. Returning to the One,, to the Creator of Being with nature is an eternal option.

God is the eternal uncreated Being. All things exist for God eternally and nature is an evolution of being and time aka being and nothingness for-itself. One can always find rest in the realization of the eternal amidst the temporal.

The Biblical book of Isaiah anticipated the presence of the Lord in mortal flesh too years before His birth.

Isaiah 53"Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?

2For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

3He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

4Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

5But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

6All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lordhath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

7He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

8He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

9And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

10Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.

11He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

12Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors."

Oligarchy Rent-Collecting From Youth Through Obamacare

Obamacare allowed the oligarchy to start rent collecting from American youth that had been getting away without making monthly transfer payments to global insurance corporations. Those dark areas of non-rent collecting are being phased out everywhere through the totalization of corporatism and networks.

I realized that athletes and thugs are kind of like Mongolian idiots with Universal characteristics that adapt well to any sort of political or economic structure. Some athletes are intellectuals too of course, yet few intellectuals actually work in the broadcast media-they would need to be enslaved minions without actual free speech for that with the present FCC regulatory allocation of airwaves to the rich and government primarily. Movement toward a mass social mutt hierarchy of athletes, thugs and the bureaucratically corrupt is actually satisfactory to many I suppose as the people occupy natural roles. It's not a respect-for-individuals paradigm.

One of the major deficiencies of Marxism was it's failure to recognize intellectual capital. The means of production and manufacturing were regarded something like natural resources that could be redistributed without the contribution of intellectual thought being too problematic as non-intellectuals took over the design and development of operations phases. That seemed evident in the Soviet Union's laggard development of its manufacturing sector regarding technological advance.

Intellectual liberty to invent and profit from inventions are necessary for real progress to happen. Free and intelligent though aren't natural resources that can be traded, owned by others and enslaved without trashing the overall evolution of design through intention and will.

Obamacare seems to be an implentation of enslaving insurers as if they were a natural resource. If it isn't profitable the insurance corporations will evolve out or transition into other corporate forms. Ossifying health insurers is an implicit contradiction of capitalism as a free enterprise.

There are many contradictions in social development today. Political theory has been set aside in favor of broadcast media real power propaganda politik. John Maynard Keyne's economic ideas of stimulating with government short-term defiicit spending was first put into practice by Adolph Hitler-and over-used requiring war to pay for the new shovel ready jobs of building autobahns and so forth. Of course Hitler wanted revenge for the loss of real estate in the first world war and the veterans sought another go anyway.

Ronald Reagan used Keynsean economic policy to help end the cold war and stimulate the U.S. economy with a defense build up constructing a 500 ship navy and so forth, yet the deregulation developing to maximum after the end of the cold war added to vast tax cuts and deficit spending continued till the present when a U.S. public debt of at least 19 trillion dollars should appear before President Obama sails into the sunset. The national political leaders still haven't got a grasp on macro-economic policy or what is needed to preserve the nation and American opportunity.

We are told by the media though that American immigration in recent times still brings new blood and ideas to make economic development happen here. Thanks goodness for that we are supposed to think. Three hundred million Americans must be so stupid that they couldn't possibly help themselves to a balanced budget, full employment, free health care for the poor, a good ecosphere without lots of new people.

If the United States is a nation that converts intelligent immigrants into dullards over time that need new vistas from some other nation, we wonder why, or maybe not-that might be tiresome philosophical activity straining our time allocation set for watching football.

There is a bright spot on the horizon though. China as a nation of increasing wealth may be allowed to sell health insurance to Americans after the regulations not allowing that are eventually lifted. There is so much socialism at work in government today. Airports are federally subsidized socialist infrastructures designed to profit a few corporate airlines as are ports and the Eisenhower instate structure. No where are private transportation companies required to build their own highways to drive on, airports to land upon or docks to tie up at-and pro football stadiums often are built by taxpayer dollars. At least everything is going smoothly to evolve the corporatist utopia needed for the traditional powerful Stalins of the worlds of business and government that merge into the brave new world of control. The union of a Reich and of the commune seem to be the dream of left and right these days in a godless, atheist evil empire of Y'Earth.

Senator Illiterate Gives His Best Argument for Immigration Reform To Advantage Mexico

Politically Correct Correspondent Question One-“Senator Illiterate, the President worked on expanding Sunni fundamentalism in the Middle East encouraging the Arab Spring and civil conflicts besides seeking to and flood the U.S electorate with tens of millions of Mexican citizen voters. The people of the United States haven’t any prospects for voting in Mexican elections and would experience a substantial political degradation if illegal aliens were given American citizenship and eligibility to vote in both nations. Before any consideration is given by ‘Democrats’ in Congress to making a path for Mexican citizens to elect American Presidents shouldn’t ‘Democrats’ demand from the Mexican Government that citizens of the United States be given the right to vote in Mexican elections even if not arriving in Mexico illegally?”

Senator Illiterate Reply- We must respect our drug importing brothers, sisters and transgendered fellow Americans from the south. Perhaps a lot of politicians and prosperous Americans rely on cheap dope from Mexico. A drugged populace isn’t very economically creative except for criminal activity. The President has reinforced gobalism, vastly increased the federal debt and followed generally Adolph Hitler’s use of supply side economics and media propaganda for a semblance of economic expansion. With that practice already senescent the President has evolved to use Hitler’s other method of printing out loads of Reich marks (dollars) to keep the global house of cards propped up until he can safely retire to deliver speeches and supervise elections all over the planet for decades.

In the meantime there are bullies to overcome. It is also politically useful to develop an Orwellian state as well as to hold out to our fellow Mexicans the prospect of citizenship in the U.S.A. for 20 million Mexican citizens illegally residing in the U.S.A. providing cheap labor to the corrupt. If they could be advanced to dual citizenship they and their relatives became eligible for U.S. citizenship too they would comprise a super-citizenship class of electors able to own North American politics and keep me and my relatives in power for decades.

Americans are already economically dwindling because of globalism, and the President has increased the number of Chinese students at American colleges along with Saudi students to develop the role of non-Christian and foreign domination of global economics along with better educated Sunni terrorist of the future able to keep up with advancing biological weapons theory and or economic advantage as the case may be. He also has plans that will accelerate the concentration of wealth. He firmly hopes to cut taxes on the rich once more to encourage those Keynesian supply-siders that enough tax and spending cuts and the national economy will be swell.

Politically Correct Correspondent Question Two- “Thanks for clarifying that point Senator Illiterate. Skeptics believe the Obama/Romney/Nixon health care plan is ill founded 70’s era propaganda never meant to do more than neutralize Senator Edward Kennedy’s effort to bring British style Universal direct government health care to the nation. If the President had had much political or economic sense for himself and for-others he would have just brought direct government health care to the poor and Veterans in an expanded V.A. Hospital networks that would have been available to serve mass civilian casualties in the event of national disaster or war. Such a system would have lowered health insurance costs by relieving hospitals from paying for treating indignant emergency patients with that cost passed on to insurance companies. The public would also have benefited by providing the trillions of dollars of treatment needed for Iraq and Afghan war casualties better in better facilities that could keep staff busy with civilian health provisioning as veteran casualty and health treatment needs declined. An active V.A. hospital system without lows and highs in patient provisioning can keep staff levels better tuned.

As globalism continues to marginalize the economic prospects of ordinary Americans there are a myriad of avenues through which political leaders if interested could deflect those insults and reinforce a healthy American economic infrastructure and social welfare network. How will immigration reform be of benefit to presently poor and unemployed Americans? What is your best argument for immigration reform giving the advantage to Mexico?”

Senator Illiterate’s Reply- “Since the pro-slavery Democrat Party lost the civil war cheap labor has been difficult to git in the U.S.A. The European trash immigration stopped in the 20^th century and wages and unions began to rise. Just since the end of the cold war has cheap labor returned to lift the rich to higher levels of concentrated wealth. Cheap labor from Mexico and across the globe is abundant but middle class Americans still have some political leverage. We can stop that and move further toward oligarchy globally with millions of Mexican citizens gaining the right to select a cheap labor-Mexican advantage leaning President.

Of course this will only follow hard negotiations that will allow the people of Boston and Las Vegas to elect the President of Mexico. Soon thereafter Mexicans with U.S. citizenship can buy insurance at Government exchanges, dumb down the environmental movement and drive clunkers with low m.p.g. to stimulate global warming and gasoline sales while creating new prison construction, management and staffing jobs.”
