Rioting French Luddites Want Trump and Cheap Diesel Fuel

French Luddites opposed to a gas tax to discourage fossil fuel use have been rioting recently turning Paris into something more like an American City with a Black Lives Matter weekend.

 Unlike the clean and peaceful U.S. Tea Party assemblies the conservative French rioters known as yellow jackets behave like wild animals on LSD. France seems to be more unlike that peaceful society with bread and circuses these days. It is lucky that police persons haven't the opportunity to fire their automatic weapons with an equal measure of careless wild abandon just for the heck of it. In prior eras mass police shooting increased protest response- except notably for Tiananmen Square where the people were pacified with machine gun death.  Personally I visited Paris in 1987, found it quite expensive and left after a few hours. I am sure it remained a somewhat decent plays to lose a few dollars until recently.

 President Macron's policies in support of a more green agenda illustrate the incompetence that democrat reformers have in moving toward ecological economics even mildly inasmuch as they need comprehensive reform that includes compensation for persons displaced by reform. President Macron should have examined the particular economic transport conditions of rural Brittany and installed electric vehicle discounts, charging stations, high-speed electric mass transit or whatever else might have served to replace the costly gasoline; otherwise he left the sorry unpatriotic rioters without any hope of being able to afford gas and German pastry.

 One should make no mistake about President Trump. For our President capitalist fiduciary axiology far outweighs rational transition to newer transport and energy infrastructure. He is a Luddite for fiscal reasons unable to comprehend that other values exist that require competent government economic direction sufficient to accomplish meaningful goals.

Modern Luddites Opposed to Solar Power Energy Efficiency


The modern Luddite movement is an offshoot of the flat Earth society and has characteristics of disbelief of atmospheric global warming from human activities with a deep preference for coal and oil for generating electrical power. Advanced Luddites are capable of reading reports about clean coal and efficient fossil fuel engines yet have occluded vision unto eclipse regarding solar voltaic panels and lighting that can be placed around homes and especially daylight businesses to minimize the need for grid power produced with oil, coal or gas.

 If President Trump can be brought over from the dark side of the force, he could be a tiger to develop support for national solar and fuel cell power where China is currently taking the lead. It may be his only chance for re-election since he needs some independent support.

Flexible solar panels are very light and many have built-in charge controllers. Smaller panels of 12 volt, 30 watt size can recharge 12 volt batteries clipping onto terminals to power 12 volt lights. Larger panels can recharge quicker and quantitatively more.


https://www.ebay.com/itm/Grape-Solar-Flexible-30-W-Off-Grid-Solar-Panel-/162981732514 This panel has a 20% efficiency rating for converting solar photons into useable electrons

Solar panels work well in cold, clear weather- good for home power production in winter.



Hydrogen fuel cells have the capacity to replace many small to moderate size fossil fuel electrical generators. http://www.smarkson.com/hydrogen-fuel-cells-market-research-report/

The Good Trade War

Chinese communist government economic planners have certain select authoritarian advantages over the west. The EU has Brexit and immigration issues that indicated elements of uncertainty and double-mindedness that China lacks. China is expansionist regarding Tibet and Taiwan and naval development with something more of single-mindedness about it with a dictator for life leading the Chinese Communist Party.

I don’t wish to imply criticism of Chinese government policy since it is developing along historical lines that are logical and somewhat deterministic regarding demographics, geography, world historical events, transition from prior forms of government and economic content. It is good that China participates in free enterprise to a certain extent. In my opinion the trade war is a mild correction on the political stage of the phenomenon of Chinese economic expansion with the reciprocal decline of the quality of U.S. economic content domestically.

A trade war may be the best approach to correcting or adjusting the way that foreign investors relate to China. Direct foreign investment accounts for about 3% of Chinese economic growth these days, I believe. That is more than 100 billion dollars annually (US) and the number is increasing. The rapid increase of foreign investment in the Chinese economy in monetary and intellectual capital leads American capitalists and government to neglect qualitative economic growth in the United States. The Roman empire experienced a similar decline in domestic infrastructure and economic development with a great deal of foreign investment in villas, vineyards etc. Of course imperial Rome earned much wealth from foreign conquests, while the United States built its wealth largely on the land and intellectual capital it was blessed with. Globalism for the United States means neglect of its domestic economic reality and preference for mass immigration of cheap labor and outsourcing of production to locations like China. Donald Trump is thought to be trying to counter some of those trends and to restore a national economic social priority.
For some ecologically minded economists there is an implicit value in building local or national sustainable economic development within a criterion of ecological economics. China is somewhat of an innocent bystander in the need for the United States to restore its economic vitality. And that restoration should be on the new foundation of ecological economics; a very challenging social task given the tremendous force of Wall Street investment and capitalist principals of profit in the given axiological (value) system as a secular god to worship.
The infrastructure of the United States is in decay while the public debt of the government is greater than 20 trillion dollars. Fifty million citizens have less that a half of 1% pf the national income. Plainly there is much to fix, yet economic leadership is based presently on a capitalism with the humanity of pimps selling out any nation including the U.S.A. as nothing more than a tool for corporate profit.
I suppose President Trump might like to have more investment in the United States than China. Yet much of the Chinese trade advantage is a result of American capitalists building in China and sending their product to the United States, and that is entirely legal. Meanwhile the U.S. Democrat party supports illegal immigration of cheap labor to bump out workers that can’t find good jobs that were sent to China. None of that is the fault of China, though there may be something to the value of the yuan and dumping of steel, I really can’t say.
“The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars / But in ourselves, that we are underlings.” (Julius Caesar, Act I, Scene III, L. 140-141)

Maybe the House Should Outlaw New Coal Fired Power Plants

Though we like many of President Trump's policies, he plainly rates an 'F' on comprehending the global warming problem and the recurring danger of mass species extinction. If he wants to be re-elected he will need to learn some new tricks in regard to carbon dioxide greenhouse gassing releases to the atmosphere made by humans.

 Biggest mass extinction caused by global warming leaving ocean animals gasping for breath

U.S. Government facilities should utilize earth tube heating-cooling systems as often as possible to reduce energy costs and develop capability for having a reasonable interior temperature in the event of war and electromagnetic pulse destruction of the electrical grid.
                        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4nMsHqCTeI
                                  Earth tubes as heat exchange

 Maybe Earth tubes of very large size near cities could be used to bring cool air and high sped electric trains across the countryside to office buildings.


The new Democrat House could pass a law outlawing new coal fired power plant construction as often as the Republicans voted to overturn Obamacare because of its implicit corporatism and Orwellian invasion of privacy. An expanded VA hospital system joined with the nation's poor people's clinics could have provided free walk-in service to the poor. A national very high speed transport infrastructure could have been constructed to provide free fast transport to the hospital network.

It Is OK for the President to Talk About Issuing Pardons

No; not at all. A President cannot wear blinders about reality. He, she or a combination of either or none may issue pardons lawfully. Bill and Hillary might benefit from that a priori in case they are convicted of anything.

 President Trump would need to actually obstruct something- overturning trash cans in the path of hounds pursuing Paul Manafort for example, to obstruct justice officials. Saying that he may issue pardons to his former contract workers still allows justice officials to arrest, try and possibly convict those persons of interest they desire to roast over flaming faggots of interrogation upon the rotisseries of justice.

 Some might say that the prospect of a pardon might provide a motivation for a captive of the Democrat Party inquisition to remain silent and not spill his, her, or a combination of both or neither, guts. Yet that is neither here nor there, for that is just too vague and amorphous and outside the scope of the inquisition of juridical machinations.

 Consider that when the Apostle Paul was arrested for casting demons out of a nagging woman seer following them around several days saying (truthfully) that he was a servant of the highest God, he broke a Roman law that banned worshiping strange gods without approval from Rome. Yet as is pointed out well enough in the article referenced below the primary reason for Paul’s arrest was that he had financially harmed the seer’s handler’s who had profited from her demonic abilities to inform the public with mysterious insights that was lost after the exorcism.

 Why Did Paul Get Arrested at Philippi and What Should We Learn From It? - Community in Mission

President Trump isn’t a Caesar whom must be worshiped. The Democrat Party and late night comedians actually hate the President and want a demon-filled, spaced out President who will flood the nation with illegal aliens, dope and sexual depravity or something like that. It may be true that scientists have inferred that the largest mass extinction event in world history that occurred 250 million years ago when the oceans overheated and lost oxygen content in addition to several other problems following the Siberian mass volcanic events that lasted for decades making diamonds that some on Wall Street might like to expropriate the Myrny diamond pipes starting with Ukraine and annexing land north and eastward, however no Democrat President has the slightest competence for reforming national economics into a sustainable ecological infrastructure creating profit and security for all U..S. citizens. President Trump apparently believes the private sector should lead in fighting global warming instead of government. Considering how badly the U.S. government is at working its own budget, he is possibly right.

Backfist of Bear Claw (a poem)

The left of the airport knackwurst
opened babbling books of simple minded focus
hooking too many tuna
walking the runway
lifting off over the waterfall’s edge
through the bear claws
so slippery evading sharpness
clawness clowning air with swipes
like wuh wuh whirling backfists
prowess of the fair

Grid works in sliced salami
American cheese like the morning sun rising with forced field lines
concentrates of plasma plates
tightening dimensions in layers spread thin
like guacamole slathered upon bread
evenly before the bread disappears

Beginning the being of a square world box
hollow inside yet no more than the outside
plasma lines snapping with cornered energy
singularities
where cube calls with equal gravity 
treating every coffee with something sugary

Each city with moving sidewalks
across the great spaces crowds in lines flow
on tired aching knees
shuffling ahead a few steps
a caterpillar eyeballing opportunities
no one thought about
when the temperature dropped and the rain fell

Nothing remains something
claims of shouts along the lines
dots moving ahead
lemons pledge to each easy squeeze
fealty and towers, lyrical rhyhmes and powers
continents with creatures howling
governments in every box
looking back upon the pomp circumstantialy
evidence of deluxe colors
shapes of glistening others
reproducing in kind
segways.

The USA Doesn't Lead on Sustainable Economic Development for Africa or the U.S.A.

The U.S. federal (public) debt is 20 trillion dollars, so the government at least is unlikely to develop much abroad in the way of business that is a private sector concern at any rate. Wall Street and the 1%’ers invest where they like already. Many Americans invest in China and have helped the Chinese business sector grow (i.e. Apple and Warren Buffet). In turn, China with a communist government has more capacity to get involved with government financing of foreign businesses.

 The U.N. produced a millennium development plan for Africa that was a sustainable development plan. It needed some modest public funding from world governments. The U.S.A. wouldn’t contribute anything at all, nor lead, so it didn’t really get going. It was designed by Jeff Sachs- the economist that helped Russia reform its economy after the end of the Cold War and Soviet communism.
