Seahawk's Offense Dropped Dead

The Seahawks offense seemed to have died against the Packers Sunday. Seattle's defense was reasonable as usual and skunked the pack the first half however they never got off the field as the offense was 3 and out always. What is one to think  about that?

Maybe brain damage to the players? Is it worth watching such a boring event with such a high cost to the players?

It is interesting to consider that class actions suits may end pro football or cut it back as it did the tobacco business. Who can say?

Seattle hasn't a good runner to take pressure off Wilson who is an adequate yet not Drew Brees quality pocket passer. WIlson's strength is that he doesn't turnover th ball. He moves forward, or would if he had a supporting cast. Maybe he should think about taking the golden parachute when his contract is up and seek out new endeavors where he has never worked before.

The Sickness in Western Civilization

There is a sickness in the west, and in the church that requires a spiritual rather than a scientific cure. Decay is pervasive in U.S. culture and driven by scientism, godless evolution and transmogrification of decent Christian values into evil and immorality. Evolution doesn't require immorality, it attracts it. Democracy requires good character in society.

Wealth and power are being globally concentrated. Border security and the rights of citizenship and even free enterprise are transcended by the animal farm ethos of blind consumerism.

Some escapists have sought refuge from the breakdown of moral order in escapist church theology. Dispensationalism and rapture theology didn't arrive until the 19th century. It is an incorrect hermeneutic that, as one author wrote; 'trivializes the sufferings of the early Christians'. Gentry's 'He Shall Have Dominion' is a correct scriptural interpretation of the kingdom of God. Here is a brief piece on dispensationalism.

I have a free e-book too on sundry topics of science and scripture.

Dispensationalism grew naturally in the comparatively unstructured social environment of 19th century America. It is based on a naive interpretation of the Revelation that would appeal especially to the marginally literate uncorrected by theologically learned elders.

Not that learned elders necessarily are Biblically correct in all things. Luther pointed out the need for reform, and even today a priesthood of believers egalitarianism would greatly benefit the honest and right understanding of the Bible and for living a Christian lifestyle.

Canadian Chess Player Quits World Cup Over Dress Code

A Canadian chess Grand Master was banned from playing in the 2017 world cup round 5 held in Tblisi for wearing shorts. He quit the tournament. Canadians have attacked the tournament organizer for enforcing a dress code and for saying that the player "looked like a gypsy.''

Everyone wants to call people racist these days. Not everyone can be an adult punk in the business world though. Punk is of course a popular sub-culture yet that is another story. 

For a certain older generation looking like a gypsy means to look like a free wandering traveler, perhaps a little shady, yet not particularly of a genomic group. Bill Clinton is the sort of fellow that if wearing too casual of clothes it could be said that he 'looked like a gypsy' without racism. A drill Sgt. once said to us; 'Don't look like Joe Shit the Rag man or I will hunt you down.' He was talking about strings hanging off the battle dress uniform and pants unbloused etc.

 Unfortunately there is discrimination against homeless people in the world. Canadians of course might be expected to wear a Molsons T-Shirt, dirty Levis and manure-caked boots yet that might not be attire especially suitable for a world cup chess event. Obviously, FIDE should provide disposable jump-suit tuxedos made of paper to players that show up badly attired. Keeping a box of disposable paper jump suits would be a trivial expense. If the bib-tux is not right for FIDE style, perhaps a disposable paper thobe- a white Arabian robe, would work.

In the business world (the people with the money), looking like a gypsy is also another way of saying looking unemployed, disheveled and not caring about one's appearance. There is an active bias against people that don't work for a living. They like to see white clothes that look washed. They don't want dope smoking employees or to have bedbugs or fleas in their facilities.

Pro chess players may work for a living yet not as laborers certainly. While working at a Taco Bell in Houston long ago a black manager who was an immigrant from Haiti actually pulled up my pants leg to see if I was wearing clean white socks! Luckily I was. People outside the first world care about appearances more than the comfortably cinched from northern countries. They don't want people to wear smelly clothing that could offend an owner or customer . Someone from a former communist country like Ukraine may not understand the business bias against the unemployed. I think they gave him a pass the first two days wearing those shorts, yet on day three they pulled the trigger, Maybe clothes should be washed every week at world cup events.

 Chess players are maybe flaky a little at the top with eccentricity and over-touchiness (Bobby Fischer). Maybe they should look at Magnus Carlsen and Bu for examples of casual yet clean.

Democrats Will Let Americans Die Unless Mexican ‘Dreamers’ Are Gifted

Democrat Party leaders threaten a Federal Government closure in December if Mexican ‘Dreamers’ aren’t given residence in the U.S.A. That will mean that Americans will die when Obamacare is no longer funded- possibly dying miserable in the cruel December snows and sub-freezing-even sub-zero temperatures in places unrelieved by global warming.

President Trump alone can stop the Democrats from holding Americans hostage for their agenda. He can use art-of-the-deal skills and give Democrats some of their ‘Mexican Dream’ demands in exchange for full funding of the Wall to seal off criminals from entering the United States.

Democrats can block funding of the federal government and they have hundreds of millions of hostages.

The government should of course balance its budget yet that would require a congress dedicated to public rather than self-service. Unfortunately that spirit of making everything work good for everyone just isn’t in the terrible human nature rotten with original sin.

Blitz Chess (3m) Robert James Fischer (?) -Guest 71 vs IM Robert Fontaine 2001

The late Bobby Fischer was said to have played pseudonymous games of Internet chess in 2000-2001. Some believe it was a clever player with a chess engine. The following game was analyzed in a chess base article published in 2001. The article explains why it seems to have been a genuine Bobby Fischer…

Does Facebook Influence Global Politics?

Facebook ought not be a tool for international espionage agents to place commercials trecherously pulling the strings of American voters. Is it fair that Facebook gets paid for advertising politically influential commercials that influence politics anywhere? Shouldn't Facebook be restricted to using ads from the 1960s and only those made in America? 

Special Prosecutor Mueller is considering a violation of that trust presently.

https://www.valuewalk.com/2017/09/facebook-russian-ads-details-mueller/

Evidentally Russia spent money buying ads on Facebook during the 2016 election because they are rational enough to detest Hillary Clinton's politics like so many millions of Americans. In an era with political action committees having no financial restrictions it is shocking that a foreign power spent a few million dollars trying to own the U.S. political system. If the Democrat Party isn't vilgilant Aeroflot will try to have landing rights at O'Hair flughaven.

Facebook has never been a tool that has promoted the American way of life to globalists. Facebook has never been used to influence foreign politics. So it is reprehendsible that foreign powers exploited the hapless Mark Zuckerberg politically; an innocent as pure as Opey of Mayberry at poolitical affairs.
