I have published a collection of my short science fiction stories and novellas from the early days (with a few more recent) that have some sort of relation to Wrangell Alaska being written there in part at least or mentioning it.
American issues of Christianity, cosmology, politics, ecosphere, philosophy, contemporary history etc

Principle Threat to U.S. is to Alienate Russia
Why defeat peace and prosperity again? When
President Ronald Reagan brilliantly ended the cold war with President
Gorbachev he had no way of knowing that a succession of Presidential
runts would follow up with botching the peace so far as they could.
Even Pentagon careerists warn of Russia as a threat instead of being
aware that to fail to be good friends with Russia creates the threat
for-itself. Runts just don't make good foreign policy and that is
expensive.
N.A.T.O. should be mildly anachronistic today except for the potential Chinese danger. Russia knows the line is drawn on the free Balkan states and Poland. To equate the security of those N.A.T.O. members and affiliates with Ukraine, Crimea or Soviet speaking regions of upper Georgia is silly. Yet many have done so and work to increase tensions quite stupidly.
Syria was a more or less stable free nation before President Obama stimulated rebels and terrorists to attack it with hundreds of thousand dead years later. Larger human tragedies would probably follow if the Alawi-Christian government is replaced by some offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood. Administration policy rather than Russia was the problem the last four years. Russia might be given thanks for helping the U.S. not to bungle its foreign policy even further than it has in places such as Libya.
It
may be that the military-industrial complex requires a belligerency
with Russia to maintain adequate weapons sales and maint. contracts.
To win the cold war with peace however, and then to lose the peace and prosperity potential through daft political leadership is the bad old way.
Former communists hoping to return communism's stature and growth perhaps require that U.S.-Russian relations remain hostile and essentially divided without developing an egalitarian, reformed free-enterprise environment with liberty and justice for all. In such a better world with good ecospheric recovery communism even with some Chinese communist support would not fare well. What if there are sleeper cells of communist warriors in the Pentagon seeking to drive conflict with Russia instead of peace and prosperity?

Patterns within Fields (poem)
The infinite status of quanta within fields
simultaneously singular and at every possible position
is a duplication of being and nothingness at each when
Feynman diagrams become three dimensions plus
every possible time
the infinite journey of mass calculated
as quantum packet-loops
strings along dimensions
with Newton and Einstein forming theories of gravity
before the third true theory revises
the enigmatic behavior of mass and energy
from energy entering a network of controls
branching into forces and places of mass
with time and a half quanta within an infinite field
renormalizes to forever
dimensions with vector directions
lattices, waveforms
singularities with hearts of bubble verses renormalizable too
quantum fields of pluralism
reduced to monism
infinite journey within a circle
expanding inwardly
spiritually saved from the original sin
of thoughtlessness.

Hillary (Nearly) Presidential Library to Florida?
While
talk exists of dropping Hillary in to the Mayor’s post in NYC (bumping out some silly local 'crats) whence she may observe powerfully the goings on of the Trump
administration and care for downtrodden Yorkers of Wal-Street,
insiders are looking for construction of a nearly-Presidential
Library for Hillary near Orlando to compensate for the loss of the
Scarlett Pimpernel Presidential Library to Chicago.
One
day little Afro-American children of the murder capital of America
will be able to visit the Pimpernel Library on field trips to see and
emulate how the first black President (except maybe second if one
counts Bill Clinton for Negro or third if Jimmy Carter’s ancestors
dallied about on the Georgia plantation with captive Afro-American
prizes) provided compassionate, liberal zero interest free loans of
trillions of dollars to big banks so they could loan out 5x more with
those Federal Reserve deposits in their stockings where otherwise
they would have got lumps of coal. Afro-American children want to be
able to grow up and provide trillions of zero-interest dollahs to
Wall-Street banks so they can rest assured the U.S. economy is junkie
dorrie.
President
Pimpernel also accomplished the queering of America to provide
leadership to the world that all nations should vote against
rationality, biology and apostolic authority and make homosexual
marriage the law. Skeptics may say that if a white, Donald Pleasance
style, bald President had done that the black Universe would have
been globally opposed and used that as a reason to attack whitey
besides him bein on the moon.
While
racial discrimination is reprehensible and fundamentally in
opposition to the principles and constitution of a free society, so
is economic discrimination in effect such that the poor and middle
classes become poorer relatively while wealth is concentrated in the
hands of a small minority. A Hillary Nearly Presidential Library in
Florida will edify those seeking to carry on the Clinton Legacy of
fructifying U.S. economic policy continuing the banana republic
foundation of Bill the First that was followed even through the crash
of late 2008 and the age of the Black Pimpernel.

Substantive History of Foreign Influence on U.S. Elections
Foreign
governments and corporations have long sought to influence U.S. elections. The
recent news about Russian efforts to get Donald Trump would not be revealing a
rare event if true. The Clintons and their foundations have received foreign
support and donations for quite a time. Hacking is I would think a cheap way to
go about influencing election cycles. Though the Democrat party influence of
the broadcast media and bully's pulpit power of the President to pack courts
and lever homosexual marriage even getting hate crimes legislation that would
let democrats describe opponents as 'haters' should not be overlooked. I.M.O.
there should be equal protection of the law instead of special categories
comprising 'hate crimes' as a sort of human version of game laws with various
species having different protections.
Russia's
Vladimir Putin is being represented as an extraordinary influence on U.S.
elections especially the Trump vs. Clinton campaign. Yet of course, it is only
because hacked e-mails were distributed to WikiLeaks that we even know about
the perfidy and lack of security awareness of Hillary Clinton while at State-except
obviously for the somnolent response to the Benghazi crisis. China and perhaps
dozens of other nations may also have cloned her smart phone software-who
knows?
It is likely
that the left are very concerned since the Obama administration has not been on
good terms with Russia as the Obama administration sought to develop the Syrian
civil war and follow up on Bill Clinton's levering Boris Yeltsin to give up
Ukraine for nothing...it has value to Wall Street.
Here is a
link to a good brief article on the history of direct foreign influence on U.S.
elections
Obviously
political action committees can be financed by U.S. branches of foreign
corporations. That is, if nation A opens a storefront in the U.S.A. in can give
cash to support their favorites. Gruppo Salinas of Mexico via a U.S.
subsidiary- funded the pac Advance America Cash Centers for instance,
providing, $83,000.
Here is a
list of some recent PACS and the source of their funding
Boundary Desalinating Security Canal Could Pay for Itself
If Donald Trump has difficulty getting congress to pay for a fence along the Mexican border he should get them instead to fund a Columbia basin Project/T.V.A. style large border canal construction project that would have saltwater piped up from the Pacific to New Mexico and allowed to flow downhill in each direction in a border control canal district with three canals actually. One large canal in the middle would contain the saltwater continually being replenished from solar and wind power pumps. Two adjacent canals on either side would contain freshwater evaporated from the big canal and collected in a slopping plastic roof ending at each small, mostly sealed canal (with a small slit to allow fresh water to flow in. The boundary canal project would pay for itself providing fresh water to a parched region and potentially combat creeping Southern desertification from global warming. Much water for irrigation and drinking would be made.

Trump and Floating Tax Rates
Floating and
Variable Tax Rate/Regulation
Government
social networking of tax regulations should be at least as realistic
as that of market and currency values. Markets and government can
write programs to interpret and paradigmatize responses through fuzzy
logic regarding the making of decisions concerning the tax value axis
of opportunity and recalcitrance. Instead of putting sanctions on an
unfriendly nation as if it were gunboat diplomacy an executive could
just raise the tariff rate for it or withhold a discount while giving
a discount to a rival with a keyboard entry.
At
some point late in the 20th century business and
government speed of finance had a break. Business continued to
accelerate and became multi-national while government remained static
though forming a few international agreements that would ossify
rather than modernize taxation in favor of business. Government
became the slow attorney led legalistic anachronism while
speed-of-light business gaming international for profit became
normalized. What can be done to reform the business-government tax
relationship in order to reinforce values of democracy and the
interests of the majority of Americans rather than a few elite global
concerns?
Individuals
in the United States are primarily segregated with financial leverage
and poverty. Good politics recognizes poverty as a method of
segregation domestically. Individual remedies to poverty might be
accomplished with good legislation that rewards those hiring the most
poor and longest out of work. With fixed rate instead of variable
rates of taxation internationally it is difficult to increase
national prosperity or to readily use tax policy for a tool of
foreign policy. The very wealthy are enabled with tax ossification to
scheme how to exploit global loopholes as an element of their
business model. That unfairly punishes the poor and middle class for
not being so globally doggy.
Maybe
ideas about tax rates and economics are a little anachronistic in the
era of instant global communication. In the old days before the WWW
bureaucrats might get tax tables from congress and distribute the
data globally so accurate tariffs and etc could be got. Now a
president Trump could have a menu of current tax rates
internationally and enter numbers any day of the year with instant
global distribution if Congress that.
First Americans; especially those
bent toward the left, misunderstood the history of nationalism. In
error they believed nationalism was the cause of the major wars of
the 20th
century rather than powerful absolutist rulers. Ending nations throw
the baby out with the bathwater and concentrates p0ower better for
global autocrats.
Second American globalists felt
that nations were anachronistic because world trade and commerce were
developing with fast means of global production and shipping
anyplace. Actually the instant speed of computer network
communication would allow each nation to set its own tax and trade
rates and implement them without delay. In a sense taxation could be
used realistically with the same sort of speed that dark pool and
high-speed quantitative trading has on Wall Street perhaps leveling
the field a little better for democracy and the average citizen on
the street.
Brexit
was a case in point; instead of returning to an Adam Smith era tariff
relation to the E.C. Britain can remain in contact Europe and trade
taxations, schedules etc with real-time inter-government social
networking rate setting. The idea that it should require a decade for
merry old England to get its Charles Dickens like scriveners to pen
new trade orders on dusty books is a little hoary.
Vat,
Gatt and all that sort of thing as well as business tax rates should
be innovated with real-time floating values that reflect social
values and needs. It might require some economists and
political-economic theorists to get in a few overtime hours, however
upgrading methods of trade and business taxes to a standard as quick
as the floating rate of the dollar and Wall Street trading might be
useful.
