Reading from 'Novilistricka Factors' (video)

I read science fiction 15 minutes-from 'Novilistricka Factors'.

U.S. Government Industrial Espionage on Cell Phone SIM Card Producers

In the world of spies the N.S.A. is no slacker targeting private business manufacturers of cell phone cards evidently. Edward Snowden has revealed the N.S.A. conducted invasive hacking on the largest  manufacturer of sim cards for cell phones so encryption data could be obtained. Industrial espionage on friends is bad business and so are is the capacity to violate most cell phone encryption so N.S.A. computers can suck up all the telecommunications of the world. It's the Democrat Party way though.

In an information age where proprietary information matters the ability of corrupt government to violate privacy completely sucks bad. People just don't realize how sorry of a situation has developed in Washington D.C. and other capitals or how to reform it yet still create security. A queer totalitarian government seems the Obama administration ideal with unlimited planetary power to know anything that anyone has to say to anyone everyplace on Earth. Of course the rich get richer too.

It is irritating when D.C. insiders just keep concentrating wealth and power while some Americans stay broke. All of that information gets shared through the revolving door of D.O.D. contracting and so forth. Ronald Reagan's biggest war was the battle for Grenada with not too many casualties. Presidents since have always found a way to create barrels of blood spilled while piling up debt deeper and deeper or giving away U.S. industry and jobs abroad. Paradoxically all that inside information the N.S.A. filches and that probably travels via dark pools to contractors and business outsourcing work to China helps some global economies advance.

On an unrelated question, I wonder how it is that every week in the U.S.A. more people apply for unemployment compensation than the number of people hired to jobs created in the U.S.A. in a month, yet the unemploymennt rate is said to drop?

Setting Boundary Conditions in Making a Federal Constitution

Nations and states considering federalism can learn from the problems and mistakes created in the formation and drift from loose boundary conditions of the U.S. Constitution.

The framers of a federal constitution for the states of America, in revolt against tyranny, saw just the barely perceptible shadow of hidden dangers lurking in the new government that could create a new form of tyranny. The boundary conditions in the articles of confederation presented strong firewalls of three separate branches of government to halt the rise of concentrated power. The constitution itself was not protected from change and subversion letting it morph into a tool for later elites to define social reality.

The constitution as it was created set a governing coordinator to act for the interests of the individual states in mutual concerns such as collective defense, trade, commerce and security. There was no concept that the power of the states and their individual identities would erode away over time. Mass communications did not exist such as in the 20th century and not even if Mary Shelly had been commissioned in 1820 to update the constitution with science fiction legal speculations could constitutionalists have imagined the rise of a leviathan central government created in a Frankenstein legal laboratory.

An original sin of the framers was to not exclude human slavery in the boundaries. Legal sophists would later argue that blacks were not human and equally absurdly for homosexual marriage.

The framers failure to clarify the boundary conditions of the constitutions at the time of conception allowed posterity to transmogrify it into whatsoever elites wished as state laws and rights for security were entirely co-opted by the power of the central government. The framers did not limit the constitution to a contract-like compact that could not later be altered. Instead they failed to recognize the need for specific boundary conditions limiting the ability of the central government to change the constitution after it was signed. Legalists have also found countless ways to interpret the constitution two and a half centuries after its composition in creative ways- applying it to innumerable applications that the founders never envisioned or intended.

The lesson for those nations and peoples considering possible federalism today would be to recognize how constitutional drift over time evolves concentrated power to the federal government erasing the individual charter states rights; only if the boundary conditions of a constitution are properly set to restrict and bind the expansion or alteration of the original contract can it be considered somewhat benign.

Human organizations evolve from innumerable sources and political directions yet they often produce the same effect of crushing individual rights in favor of collective rights. Elites then run the consolidated organization and unfairly proplit from power. The Communist Party of the former Soviet Union and Wall Street have little difference in that regard. Corporatism and communism have the same mark-of-the-beast power over the economy as Nero-the original beast of the Revelation, had over the citizens of Imperial Rome.

Does Theology Require Advanced Math?

Some could argue that Omar Khyam invented algebra while others would blame Pythagoras/theorem. It is debateable that one learning welding should study algebra yet carpenters might. Even as a secular worker Jesus might have known some calculations for building. One could spend a lifetime in learning all and sundry things and make everything academic. That can be useful for scholars; do Bible scholars need Sanskrit, Aramaic, Greek or Hebrew language less than quadratic equations? Vocational training might need to specialize and not get ordinary people to just spend their life chasing after course material that won't advance their real goals of vocation in order to apply them.

If evolutionary biology is a history course (an abstract concept with contingent model being within various theological and philosophical space-time Universe parameters) with votaries that attack human history and the kingdom of God besides implicitly presenting arrogance toward philosophers with cosmological interests and interest in examining Genesis and its space-time values in an historical context as well as held up against the light of special relativity and space-time coordinates for God and earth respectively (stipulating that God precedes space-time),

 Christian theologians may wish to have tools to use for apologetics as well as church building or secular occupations that use higher math. Yet as I mentioned the relevance to vocational activity in an internet and modern life-time learning context where education is free needs to be functional and modular. There are numerous free math and science course available from a wealth of Universities today. One could in theory draw them all together such that individuals could learn what is useful and skip over courses that have an appendix value for something or other yet may be rather uncertain. If one could learn better weather prediction for instance then one might calculate what effects cooling the world with particles in the upper atmosphere would have on the northern ice pack. Ironically differential calculus (that I did not learn) may not be able to solve select problems in cosmology and space-time in regard to gravity and extra 4 dimensional fields.

N.A.S.A. Study Predicts Increasing Droughts

Though scientists dump what must be taken as credible warnings of very dry years ahead the infrastructure of economic organizations preclude rational empirical response in a timely and effective way. Rube Goldberg schemes to cloud the atmosphere abound-and that would probably create weather swings worse than the problems of global warming. Wouldn't it be better for U.S. planners to lead a green tech revolution starting with transportation?

U.S. Court Says 'Not So Fast' to Illegal Aliens

Millions of illegal aliens granted amnesty, perhaps illegally too, by President Obama acting in his imperial mode learned that a just and wise federal judge has granted a temporary stop of the policy. Skeptic as one may be about the integrity of the federal judiciary regarding homosexuality (perhaps some are in the same circuit of behavior as President Clinton was and the advocates of homo marriages have pictures that prove it), on the alien immigration problem and porous borders the courts have generally been as willing to support U.S. border control as milk toast.

Illegal aliens could easily be contained if federal laws were enacted to deputize state law officials to arrest and remand to federal custody persons found to be in the U.S.A. illegally. One can imagine that if a terrorist enters the U.S.A. illegally claiming to be from Juarez a state official would be charged with profiling and civil rights violations if he arrested him for being illegally in the U.S.A.

Well I don't want to be harsh on the illegal alien issue since I think America is doomed to be corrupted anyway if the U..S. Supreme Court green lights homo marriage. The contentious issue might have been avoided if homos cared at all about the nation or America's place in the world. Alternative remedies for queer couplings to have some sort of government recognition other than marriage was a more pragmatic approach rather than the expropriate and degrade, subvert traditional morality and the historical intent of state legislators approach.

As a matter of conscience some people will want to find another country to reside in if the U.S.A. becomes too corrupt. If I need to look for a cheap sailboat and some way of living abroad some day that would be a surprising evolution. Mexico is corrupted by drug gangs and drug violence, yet other Latino (Latina) nations have better traditional morality in some respects than the U.S.A. I may need to learn Spanish to habla retirement village. Even so I think nations are better off with legal rather than illegal immigration that generally supports social corruption.

Naka Rises to 2800 in World Chess Rankings

Hikaru Nakamura became the first U.S. chess player to reach a score in world rankings of 2800. He also is leading the Zurich Chess Challenge after round four. Former Champ Gary Kasparov was the only chess player to retire at a 2800 score. Topolov could have retired at 2800 yet has decided to play on-a good thing since he and Boris Gelfand are the two Mikhail Tal style active players (interesting attacking play).

Bobby Fischer had a ranking in a somewhat different system. Various computations find that he reached 2900 in his best year. He retired with the highest winning percentage at 70%. Kasporov retired with a 69% score in a tough era too. World Champion Magnus Carlsen reached 2880 on his way to taking the title, yet fell short of 2900. One hopes that he becomes the first player to reach a solid and sustainable 2900 score for a year or two at least in order to clarify the issue.

Nakamura is also hoping to qualify for the candidates tournament next year and have a shot at chalenging for the world title.
