North Korean Nuclear Development Will Continue During Dynastic DIctators Kim Era

Dictator Un may feel a need for nuclear weapons to safeguard his own political position. China has tons of nuclear weapons, the need for North Korea to have its own nuclear force for war is illogical and a poor substitute for peaceful free enterprise and neo-socialist economic progress with South Korea.

The work of making nuclear weapons is an intellectual as well as a material game. The 1992 Joint Declaration on the Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula that the Clinton administration got through was something of a sham. Realistically it allowed North Korea to continue to develop its nuclear program through alternative means while IAEA inspectors toured NK facilities, except for those declared military facilities and off-limits. A couple of nuclear reactors for energy and heavy fuel oil were allowed in during the slow-down in direct plutonium production in exchange for enduring Sect. Albright dancing before the old dictator.

There is a fair history of the NK nuclear diplomacy game here… North Korea Nuclear Technology & Nuclear Weapons Program

Apparently NK developed thermonuclear bombs and may have exploded one in 2017. There are of course nuclear fission and fusion bombs with the latter more powerful. Scientists do a lot of theoretical work without hardware. Dictator Kim has lots of espionage and negotiating people able to get Do-It-Yourself books on building and improving nuclear weapons.

NK may be working on miniaturizing a nuclear weapon so it could be delivered secretly in some way to Washington DC. Maybe they are making progress on that. Some Democrats might think that o.k., as might a sprinkling of fiscal conservatives who view the 93 trillion dollar Green Deal as a trillion too far.

Fundamentally Dictator Kim can continue to develop nuclear war technology under the table with more help from Iran, Pakistan, Russia and China, and with appeasement Democrat Party symps. The question of his ending the economic division with the south isn’t too difficult to answer; he really can’t for he is a Dictator that many of his own people would like to terminate if they could, I would think. The Kim Dynasty probably will continue along with nuclear war tech until NK is saturated with nuclear weapons and with no good chance to safely use them.

The American Drift Toward Pseudo-Socialism

Public education has been unionized and leftist for decades. That has indoctrinated youth with left-leaning values. Hollywood is full of leftists and Democrats because they support leftist moral decay along with defense of individual civil liberties (generally a good thing).

Democrats have supported the rise of corporatism. That networking creates extreme concentration of wealth. The United States is becoming more like Mexico in wealth distribution. Democrat leadership has appealed to populist debauchery, homosexuality, lesbianism and so forth as continuities of affirmative action. Democrat leadership has lost any ability to understand what democracy is and how it works with free enterprise and capitalism. They gloss over the loss of democracy because they aren’t capable of understanding or reforming free enterprise and democracy and their leadership became shop-steward union advocates for higher minimum wages, more abortions (including infanticide), free education, Medicare for all and so forth. Youth go along with all that.

A recent poll found that about 50% of people under age 34 support socialism. Fundamentally they aren’t political philosophers as so many of the founders were, and are content with using tired, old socialist political philosophy as their tool for merger with corporations as pseudo-socialists.

In my opinion the majority are idiots that should read more political philosophy and reform free enterprise and democracy to invent new adaptations suitable for the era that would bring capitalism down to a level that it doesn’t own politics and the media, yet allow free enterprise to employ most people and serve restoration of environmental health and profit together. Several simple items such as reducing patent exclusivity to three years and giving patent holders 10% royalties from user sales thereafter, limiting the number of employees of any corporation to 20,000 people, progressive taxation with those earning more than two million annually at 80%, letting individuals own stock in no more than three corporations, creating legal hoops for eco-sustainability for business to comply with on an even field including anything imported to the U.S.A. etc.

Fundamentally one may call the mish-mash of concentrated wealth, corporatism, socialism and so forth whatever one likes, yet it doesn’t work well. Individual freedom is repressed, inventiveness stalls etc. Politicians that have no creative capacity or learning advocate off-the-shelf political theories that were meaningful a century or two or three ago. Simply passing good legislation is all that is needed to set economics and ecosphere straight, yet that idea escapes them.

The founders’ day had a lot of creative political philosophers and no corporations in existence. Neither was there much in the way of unions and broadcast media to demand socialism and conformity.

 Joint stock companies are not corporations. The Hudson’s Bay and East India companies were most like modern corporations that existed during the 18th century. Nonetheless the United States was without corporations from the beginning. The Boston Manufacturing Co. in 1813 is credited as being the first industrial corporation of the United States- quite bit after 1776.

While socialists may believe they are against business and corporations, pure socialism such as that of the Soviet Union is not a direction most modern socialists admit to, instead they point to mixed economies such as that of Sweden and consider that socialist.
The actual direction that socialists have moved the past half century in the United States is toward corporatism. Obamacare was a good example of corporatism. I will suggest a good primer on the political philosophy of corporatism written in 1999- somewhat more recent that the Communist Manifesto from which socialists have found inspiration.

Corporatism was invented by the Italian dictator Benito Mussolini. It found application in Hitler’s 3rd Reich. Corporate leaders worked for the government. Hitler was put into power with help from the Storm Troopers led by Ernst Röhm. The Sturmabteilung The German Military and the Holocaust were composed of as much as 70% former socialists who believed Hitler would lead them to power and depose the former aristocracy. They were as naive as modern socialists.

Green New Deal Presents Critical Opportunity Costs

AOC's Green New Deal presents significant opportunity costs for developing responses to ecological challenges that might actually work. With such a vast government spending program that might well dry up like California's high speed rail before anything working is constructed, there may be little funding for effective programs that might work.

It was fairly unrealistic to pack a green reform program with democrat pork. If everyone is thrown out of work with few corporations or rich people to pay for the program they would require food and medical treatment from the government. When they slaughter the last 'farting cows' for government food programs Americans may need to look elsewhere for jobs. It might be worthwhile inventing the low cost equivalent of catalytic converters for cattle exhaust emissions. Concepts include a new digestive enzyme, gas tubes to vents and filters, alternative excretia-gas branch processing route (I saw a cow with a window in its side once at an agricultural college. A lot of work for veterinarians would arise unless calf insert mass production technology was invented), etc.

Science has indicated that if the world atmospheric carbon dioxide content reaches 1300 ppm from the present 400 plus parts per million the world temperature may rise eight degrees f. The world would lose its cloud cover and planetary temperature would rise substantially more. In the interim the oceans are growing more acidic and warmer. Life could die off in the oceans because of the decrease of oxygen in it. These are concerns that need be addressed before they become critical. Ineffective and too costly bad economic concepts won't get it done.

There are serious scientists and economists in the field of ecological economics, as well as philosophers and others that might form a a research group to define criteria that could be most effective if made into law that are also the most efficient and economical. Fossil fuel automobiles are the major CO2 point source of pollution in the U.S.A., yet other nations such as China and India have pollution issues too. They also have economic relationships with the United States that could be adversely affected with unilateral, radical economic restructuring through ineffective and ineffective, costly processes.

There seems to be a certain level of political insanity in suggesting spending of trillions of dollars that did not formerly exist unless attacked during war, and even then the degree of spending was far less that contemporary politicians are accustomed to playing about with. Good government regulation doesn't require vast public expenditures. Government regulations that work let the private sector work and invent new technologies that go through regulatory ecospheric hoops that are beneficial rather than harmful to planetary ecospheric health.

Did You Here the One About Democrats That...

Did you here the none about fiscally conservative Democrats that say no to spending $5 billion for border security and yes to $93 trillion for the Green New Deal?

Why is Ireland a Problem for Brexit?

Settling the Irish troubles must have been tougher than getting an Irish trade policy that works for Brexit to satisfy the EU and England. Consider a Venn Diagram approach to trans-border trade. England, Ireland and the EU are the three circles, one adds what trade items each desires to their respective circle then determine where they overlap.

Yes there could be some challenges for those challenged with free trade to agree on what items and policy can be added to each circle, yet it shouldn't be that tough.

There are other approaches to filtering and polarizing trade diagrams. It would be helpful if Europeans didn't look daft-for-others and unable to find rational and mutually satisfactory solutions to one fairly simple issue. No wonder global warming remedies don't work well. Maybe President Trump should be asked to appoint a special Brexit envoy to resolve the issue as an arbitrator.

It Makes Perfect Sense That Jesus Could Pay for the Sin of Mankind

The Lord Jesus Christ is God. He is the only way for any of mankind to make it to heaven. All human beings fall short of the perfection required to enter an eternal relationship with God, whom is perfect.

It is as if a trillion dollar fine was required of each human to be free from sin and released from hell. For after one dies heaven and hell are the two possibilities for everyone. Those with faith in Jesus Christ and belief that he is God will be saved by the atoning sacrifice of the Lord.

It is as Jesus Christ had infinite wealth and could pay the trillion dollar fine that each human owes, for those that ask Him to.

It is easy to understand why Jesus Christ is able to pay for the sin debt of all of those that ask; Jesus Christ is God- one of the Trinity (God has a three-part nature). Since no human can do anything himself to pay the sin debt owed to God, in the perfect goodness of God the divine plan for all mankind allows for a sacrifice paid by the only one that could met the sin debt- God himself in the form of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The sacrifice of the Lord was the sacrifice of God himself. Jesus Christ was able to pay the debt of humanity, and was willing to do so for those that have faith in Him and His ability to do so. Infinite moral perfection, goodness and all of the attributes of God when sacrificed, compiled infinite wealth- perfection, to meet the condition required for mankind to exist in eternal relationship with God. Through the shed blood of the Lord; the perfect blessing, humanity that are saved are able to have a relationship with God through the Lord.

One might regard human existence as a kind of imperfect, broken form that is unfit for eternal existence. Yet whatever is required of God for mankind to exist eternally is provided by the Lord God himself.
