US Intellectual Properties Duplicity and Patent Reform

The present USA-China intellectual properties conundrum is a result of corrupt U.S. patent law that tilts the advantage to those with deep pockets able to afford and defend patents. The exclusivity of patents retards technological economic development and needs reform. The rich exploit ideas of the poor that cannot afford the patent process that was designed for the 19th century.

The remedy is to reduce patent exclusivity to 3 years. After three years anyone could produce a patented item and just pay the inventor and patent holder 10% of what the item sells for per unit. The inventor is protected yet anyone can soon manufacture an item lawfully with no need to plunder it with theft.

In the contemporary speed-of-light global Internet era the slowness of patents let them have a good chance of leaking. Security on brilliant new ideas is difficult to maintain. Patents cost thousands of dollars and millions for defense if they are profitable items.

The world economy needs new ideas right away; not in several decades. The concentration of wealth is reinforced by the present patent system that lets those already wealthy buy everything in sight creating a Jabba the Hut syndrome of preferred locations soaking up everything that passes.

Apple's Mr Cook Defends Power of Wealth to Censor Social Platforms (e.g. Apple)

Apple CEO Tim Cook supports the right of social media to censor speech it regards as hateful. The language that comprises hateful speech is of course subjectively determined. Like the computer running the future government of Los Angeles in Sylvester Stallone's 'Demolition Man' that issues tickets for citizen use of inappropriate language, Mr. Cook believes concentrated wealth have the right to determine what anyone can say on its platforms.

The Orwellian concept of 'hate speech' is a malodorous and pejorative classification of language offensive and hateful to free speech and liberty of the constitutional rights and powers of the United States. It is a device such as Adolf Hitler would have found useful and that those that hate Christianity and moral conservatism relish while they have power and sufficient wealth to outlast mortal life. Joseph Stalin's censors would have understood the need to have censor anti-Soviet activities in public discourse and would have used Apple's tools too.

FIDE Blitz Championship for 2018 Moved to Russia from Saudi Arabia Due to Anti-Nationalism

Saudi Arabia banned Israeli chess players from entering the kingdom to play in the 2018 blitz championship and have been stripped of the opportunity to host the event. The blitz championship was relocated to Russia.

While the Kingdom's murder of a political opponent that may have endangered state security is historical understandable if primitive (the Washington Post journalist Khashoggi), banning chess players because of nationality is in violation of F.I.D.E. law. The U.S.A. ought to take action against Saudi Arabia too and ban its oil product with high tariffs until solar power alone powers American automobiles without adding to global warming gases such as the Saudis release in their war against sustainable human life on Earth.

George Washington and the founders probably would have banned Saudi oil imports and refused to play chess in the kingdom of Sauds if F.I.D.E. had existed back in the day.

Can Democrat Conversion Therapy Be Outlawed in California?

The terrible behavioral modification practice of Democrat Party conversion therapy should be outlawed in California. Here in the enlightened 21st century the hateful, hurtful procedure of Democrat conversion therapy has no place. If a man, woman, combination of both or neither choose to become Democrats no one has a right to tell them that's wrong, nor try to talk them down with persuasive reasoning to normal, alternative party behavior.

Far too many people have already been harmed with Democrat conversion therapy. Some have actually become Republicans. Unusual reports of former Democrats listening to country western music have arisen in some dark quarters of certain Southern California cities. That cannot continue.

Cohen Plea Bargain May Be Just About Cohen's Other, Non-Trump Interests

Michael Cohen's plea bargain with Robert Mueller doesn't need a basis of Cohen providing information about the President. It may be no more than the Special Investigator expediting clearing peripheral, emergent, non-essential lines of inquiry such as possible Cohen affairs that were or might have been illegal. Those possible actions may involved activities Michael Cohen that did not involve the President at all.  The President's former personal lawyer had other interests than those of Donald Trump.

Ukraine Escalated Naval Belligerance a Month Ago

The Sea of Azov is a Russian pond that provides easy access to the soft underbelly of Russia for attackers. It is therefore not unusual that Russia would seize belligerent Ukrainian vessels seeking to enter it. Missile boats could threaten sites deep into Russia.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2018/nov/26/russia-seizes-ukrainian-naval-ships-in-major-escalation-of-tensions-video

Apparently Ukraine provoked the Russian response. A month ago Radio Free Europe reported that Ukraine was working to increase its naval forces in the Se of Azov. Russia interdicted the recent Ukrainian provocation to illustrate its stakeholding rights with clarity. The following video was published  by the U.S. Radio Liberty on youtube October 10, 2018...

The United States often has very bad foreign policy largely playing to domestic media priorities with little solid political thinking involved. politicians are better at attacking than thinking and working in positive directions. Democrats are equally guilty as Republicans. With their fanatic attack on the President seeking to associate him with Russian election collusion they have driven him toward their side of restarting the cold war. For some people the reprobate new cold warrior antagonists make it challenging for those that valued ending the first cold war to work to stop the growth of the second.

I will reiterate that U.S. leadership fails to comprehend Russian sentiment and governance to quite a serious degree. Russia in the long run is as unlikely to relinquish the Sea of Azov, Ukraine or Crimea as the U.S. Government would be to give up Chesapeake Bay, Virginia Maryland.

The Democrat Party is the party of slavery and tends toward starting wars. For example World War Two, Korea, Vietnam and the Obama organizing of Arab Spring conflicts through pure daftness toward probable consequences not dissimilar entirely toward the Democrat restart of the Cold War.

I is useful to work for the construction of positive goals rather than to just create conflicts. That may be incomprehensible in D.C.
