A Fish Story; Wrangelling Over Salmon Genetic Upgrades

President Obama's F.D.A. approved the sales of genetically fast-growth engineered salmon in the United States over the disapproval of Alaska's Senator Lisa Murkowski who would like to boycott the 'Frankenfish'. The Alaska Bio-Luddite movement has been shocked into a tizzy. Plainly the sale of fast growing King Salmon from a pool in Panama wouldn't help natural grown Alaska salmon that are in declining numbers do to capture on the high seas by foreign fleets.

The approval of genetically engineered fish in the U.S.A. along with the profusion of free trade agreements opens a Pandora's box of nations able to grow and export high-grade genetically engineered fish to the U.S.A. I can hardly wait for catfish the size of whales to grow in Thailand and be trained and directed to swim to American ports for harvest under the guidance of navigation and control brain implants.

In the good old days Senator Stevens of Alaska as a business progressive would have just said go ahead and approve the things universally and Wrangell Alaska would have been the location for the first genetic engineered major fish producer of King salmon to Seattle; location and market position being first being everything, Americans will probably wait until they can buy salmon made ion Shanghai before a super-salmon facility is built at Institute Creek. Hundreds of high-paying jobs will be lost to foreign rivals so Alaskans can listen to the radio and be depressed about job prospects.

I have opposed genetic engineering of bio-forms in the past on principle because it allows random human genomic modifications that cannot be reversed. In the short term though the desirability for women that want their kids to have larger, trophy boobs or short parents that want their kids to be 8 footers able to get that N.B.A. contract may be hard to suppress from becoming political reality.

It is hard to imagine viable prospects for containment of human genomic modification. The first time a researcher produces a gene splicing tweak to eliminate inheritable breast cancer opposition will swoon. If a illegal offshore bio-tank produces a genetic skin color upgrade wealthy Afro-Americans will be returning with Chinese looking progeny.

Genetic engineering is a kind of magic that can let fresh water vegetables grow in saltwater to enhance food supply, or increase brain size, change the structure of neurons in whales to better accomplish mathematical calculations and sundry other presently unimaginable 'weird miracles' of science.

Dr. Frankenstein wanted to create life from dead body parts. Genetic engineering entrepreneurs want to create new forms of existing life by super-sizing good things generally. There are of course some very dark side of the force possibilities in morphing life willy nilly however. So instead of calling growth challenged fish that hate speech term 'Frankenfish' they night better be called 'affirmative growth' fish with the potential to pioneer brave new habitat settlements where no habitats have existed before. Probably an umbrella corporation will own all of the patents on Frankenfish within the concentration of wealth principle. Maybe it should be made illegal to own patents on genetically engieered life-that might be the best discourager of corruption in the concentration of power area.

There are stories of the brave affirmative growth salmon of Panama able to leap tall buildings in a single bound and return hope to the starving, tired and poor immigrating fish yearning to swim free that have yet to be told, and chapters that have yet to be written of the poor little salmon that saw the great waterfall ahead and thought to him or herself, 'I will overcome'.

I wonder how the genie of genetic engineering will be kept in the bottle with so many tech tools available and proliferating as a fairly simply tech. Computers will probably be able to design their own life forms one day so people can grow-their-own new species at home. In a way, space colonization looks better and better as a way to put a firewall between normal human life and the evolution by design Frankocrats.

Quiet Desperation, Muslim Migration and Counter-Cyclical Terrorism

Pink Floyd wrote 'quiet desperation is the English way'. It may be that since the end of the empire they have outsourced that desperation where feasible (i.e. to Russia & the U.S.A.) in order to increase natural resource holdings. When times are not desperate, people still believe what they want, and the rich financing passage through the eyes of needles with nano-camel technology might think wise-guy appeals will work on the final day. Good times may cause error as well as bad. Theology that accounts for individual political events such as terrorism however seems unsupported by scripture. That was actually the point I wanted to get to, since there is so much wrong political hermeneutic on T.V. and in Hollywood even when fiction (e.g. Gabriel and Michael fighting one another with fists and swords). Besides particular prophecy that was historically fulfilled and the expressed will of God or Apostles in scripture secular events and their particular causal relationship to the will of God are only problematically interpreted- what is wise to man being foolish to God, and His will being deep and unfathomable, and the Lord being the light in the darkness; the sole spiritual light in the abysmal gulf of space before and after the stelliferous era. Because human nature is fallen and mankind is wicked and chooses to perp political wickedness, it is grace that is the exception allowing good things to occur. Political evil is more the rule rather than the exception. With free will however, politics occur for temporal, attributable reasons. The Syrian Muslim migrations occurred generally because President Obama accelerated Muslim terrorism and insurrection against the lawful Syrian government creating a very predictable displaced persons crisis. I have written about the way to stop the war being to stop supporting the war for several years. Manufactured desperation is a habit of the advantaged, while countercyclical - adaptation to the vast conventional war and anti-guerrilla war technology of the west seems to elicit terrorism from the faithless, lost and opportunistic determined to war.

Islam and Leftists

A comment made on one of my posts was; "Given the fact that many Muslim nations embody leftist ideology better than America". I think history supports the concept that Muslim nations have preponderantly been anti-communist besides being implicitly theocratic.

Consider the history of the tudeh (communist party) in Iran and Iraq; each were slaughtered after a fundamentalist (Khomeini revolution) or state socialist government (Iraq )took power. During the cold war many Muslim nations were on the side of the west in being anti-communist. Consider Afghanistan and Pakistan in the late Soviet era.

Yet with a history of being an arrested civilization fundamentally in opposition to western democratic traditions (as if much of the left today) contemporary Islam presents a huge challenge for the west to address and defend against.

A wikipedia article describes the history of the  "Dar al-Harb (دار الحرب "house of war"; also referred to as dar al-Garb "house of the West", in some detail. The United States has virtually no history of substantial Muslim immigration. During the cold war we did not admit a lot of Russian communists, nor Japanese during the second world war, nor Eastern Europeans early in the 20th century when they were suspected of being anarchists. The U..S.A. has been able to keep its nation western and democratic because it has a history of defending it against potential adverse demographics. President Obama and the democrat party have worked to defeat that tradition. The U.S.A. has a history of defending itself against adverse ideology such as foreign theocracy and communism from taking over in the nation. Louis Farakhan's 'Nation of Islam' is a manifest reference to a theocratic ideal and entails the appearance of sedition.

Indonesia would be an excellent place to relocate Syrian refugees. then they could present potential security threats to Indonesia rather than the U.S.A. As the largest (demographically) nation in the world that is already Muslim Indonesia easily could absorb a million or two more Muslims without being a kernel of future terrorist growth and security costs.

I don't think that anyone would argue that Indonesia has better freedom of the press than the U.S.A. or that free speech is preponderantly better protected in Muslim nations than the U.S.A. One may view Muslim nations through rose colored glasses, yet they are also largely intolerant of even minority Muslim sects from Pakistan to Iran, Egypt to Saudi Arabia. Islam is a different society with a different history than that of the west, and has been so since its initial wars of expansion and attack upon Europe through Asia Minor, Iberia and Sicily.

One may be naive about the history of western democracy, yet keep in mind that American military aid to S.E. Asia during the cold war is a reason why certain political reforms gained some traction. The American left tend to have no concept of the social requirements for political and social organizations and how they relate to family structure. In fact the idea of cultural anthropology is alien to much of the left that would instead extrapolate American historical experience filtered through new age atheism and Darwinism upon every nation on Earth.

I do not mean to seem overly defensive of western values. It is just the case that I do not have a wish that the U.S.A. complicate its future and create a terrorist base for the next generation as well as trillions and trillions of debt.

Martian Tupperwhere Sweepstakes (satire)

Martian Tuppurwhere Sweepstakes (satire)

The Synthetic Rainbow House of the scenic District of Spindrift announced the next Martian Tupperwhere Sweepstakes today. The winner of the contest to design a 3D printer for deployment on Mars able to make Tupperwhere housing containers for Marstronauts from Y'Earth will receive an all-expenses paid trip aboard a fabulous electro-magnetic mass launcher Mars Luxury Lines shipping container making the voyage from Lunarville to the Martian Moon Phobos' Tupperwhere industrial production facility for a bird's eye view of 3d fabrication.

Because Phobos is gradually experiencing stress fracturing breakdown from Martian gravitational tidal forces and its own irregular shape the Synthetic Rainbow House said Phobos would be given a comfort mesh and an elevator cable-tie to the Martian surface to hold it in place, reduce its nervous stress and take new Phobian arrivals down to Mars. Mars being a planet without rainbows or hope is scheduled to receive its first shipment of little houses on the prairie at the edge of the vast left-wing depression Valles Marineris next year.

White House to Get Exterior Stealth makeover (satire)

Citing p.r. problems with Tuareg of the Maghreb and additional elements of the K.S.M. clan White House salesperson Josh Boo said the White House was evolving its exterior coating and would be transforming with camouflage stealth exterior surgery disappearing from the mundane world for-others blending nonchalantly into the background of the District of Columbia..

Boo explained before a packed audience that back in the day white and black were about the only practical colors with consistent color available for painting. He said the name for the Presidential house itself evolved as a description morphing to became recognized as a disparaging term for Euro-Americans. A crowd of fifteen illegal alien Mexican migrant workers with Washington Redskins jerseys were peacefully marching beyond the White House fence with signs protesting defamation of Euro-Americans demanding the name 'White House' be changed to 'Cambio House'.

When Boo took questions I asked if the remodeled exterior would resemble that of Pei's glass pyramid at the Louvre. He said yes; exactly, except the quasi-crustal would also be a photovoltaic input device for energy saving and occasionally surface into visibility running advertisements for corporate sponsors.

In other news, Senator Read introduced legislation to change the name 'District of Columbia' to 'District of Zapata-Chigorin', and another bank drive-through window was held up by a self-driving Volkswagen with hidden Bugs Moran software.

Senate Democrats to Build Syrian Migrant jihad Village in Las Vegas (satire)

In order to defy a vast right-wing House vote to tighten up refugee security checks that would require two pieces of photo I.D. to cash, Senate minority leader Harvy Read said he would block any effort to bring increased security screening to a vote in the Senate. Raising table stakes he said he would offer a bill of his own that would settle 10,000 Syrian refugees and bring all future Muslim refugee immigrants to the table in Las Vegas. Read said that plans of the Muslim community infiltration organizer cannot wait.

Describing the planned new Las Vegas subdivision to house the refugees; ‘Jihad Village’, Read said that illegal alien construction workers in Las Vegas need shovel ready jobs. Jihad village would be the first of numerous subdivision expansions created in the desert to bring on Muslim leftists to turn the tide of potentially fair elections in the state toward the Democrat victory column.

Besides several luxury community mosques and fully stocked refrigerators and therapeutic Jacuzzis for each budget priced quarter million dollar home before value added agile front-loading mark-ups Read said that Jihad Village would hap tennis courts, a suicide bomber training range and a Muslim special ops urban war political 'bad guy' pop-up target range to let peaceful immigrants recover from Middle Eastern trauma, take down dofuses and successfully blend into the masses yearning to repaint the White House a different shade of grey every month ug the year. Read said that he already had Saudi investors lined up to develop and upgrade New Jihad Village.

K.S.M. of the Planned Jihadhood's global political action committee concerned with Nevada issued a press release saying that expansion is a gamble yet the benefits of bringing more jihadist support forces to Las Vegas outweigh the costs. With research and development costs for lightweight fast attack weapons such as surface effects drones, and self-driving automobile machine suicide delivery packages it is useful to establish Muslim bases closer to the action, on the inside lines.

When this reporter visited the first completed units in Jihad Village the tactical anti-politician pop-up target range was in full swing. The only down-side of all the gunfire was the agitation it brought to the corralled stockades of modestly right-wing native born citizens in nearby concentration camp a. Those criminals were scofflaws that never bought into Obamacare along with detainees imported from a defunct former prison and present Communist Casino at Guantanamo Bay.

Is Islam expansionist? Here ere three citations from the Quran on the subject; 

http://www.answering-islam.org/Terrorism/by_the_sword.html

"Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But God knoweth, and ye know not. (2:216)

But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practice regular charity, then open the way for them: for God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful. (9:5)

Fight those who believe not in God nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by God and His Apostle, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book (Christians and Jews), until they pay the jizya[tribute] with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued. (9:29)."
