Congress should form a commission to investigate the real cause of Covid 19

During the cold war I took an Army NBC course on defense against nuclear, chemical and biological attacks. Finding out the cause of any kind of vector that harms the troops is usual I would think- the same principle should apply to civilians too. Then again I enjoy the newer Sherlock Holmes movies , so determining the real source of what could have been low level biological war (or not) would seem to be de rigueur for competent government in my opinion. In other words what was a biologically caused homicide of more than a million people and greater than a half million Americans (isn’t that roughly the total now) should have enough investigation that there isn’t any doubt about the source.

If that is beyond the ability or interest of the U.S. Government, well, that’s just the way it is. A commission should find the source beyond a reasonable doubt, and evaluate the competence of the response as well, with the goal of doing much better in any possible future incident of a similar nature. Alternatively, it may be better to be happy idiots and move on to more cheerful topics knowing that the pandemic could not possibly have been caused by malevolent human agency. If the pandemic was a human trial it might be happier to ignore that chance and wait like cattle for a more serious national biological emergency to wrap the nation blissfully like a warm blanket some day.

The Label of 'Insurrection' was wrong

It is the label of insurrection that was wrongly used. An insurrection is an armed attempt to overthrow the government fundamentally. It is a stage on the road of revolution, and plainly an armed insurrection or revolution wasn’t anything like what did take place. People died by the lethal weapon of a fire extinguisher that should not have been so publicly placed as a dangerous weapon (possibly placed by conspirators or collusionistas) and were crushed by a herd pushing through doors- plainly revolutionary devices.

The problem is that Americans are used to making pejorative b.s. and even advertising b.s. using terms like treason or revolution far too easily. They will say that speaking about a different brand of coffee is treason, or that buying a foreign car is treason, or that supporting Speaker Pelosi is treason although Mitch McConnell gets off on that unless a Democrat supports something that he has said publicly. The term has been so adulterated and watered down that the watered down paradigm is normal. So the good sales point of going from the ‘treason’ of Trump’s ‘Russian collusion’ to that of ‘insurrection’ for an out of hand mob element that stormed into the capitol without a snowballs chance in hell of erasing the electoral college results from the 50 states was natural to promote in the environment of a friendly press and a corporatist political economy that hated the ‘insurgent’ Trump candidacy and administration. If an actual insurrection occurred it would look quite a bit different.

An insurrection is a phrase and paradigm used to describe an armed uprising or possibly one through other means such as internet war on the grid that takes it all down, that cannot be contained by local authorities, and is for the purpose of ending the government (so anarchy may be a paradigm as well as revolt and replace). John Brown’s armed attempt to take over a Federal armory and arm slaves to revolt barely qualifies as an insurrection since it didn’t have popular support. Robert E. Lee incidentally was part of the federal response. There were other famous people their too.

So I don’t dispute most of the facts, just the label for what happened at the capitol. With the democrat pejorative use of insurrection the term could be applied to virtually any urban riot that requires the national guard and federal troops to put it down, even though the riots are not intended to get rid of the government or police forces so anarchy or mob government can replace it- that sort of demonstrating that gets out of hand is just part of American historical tradition and it is never labeled ‘insurrection’. Those Americans that remember the 60s anti-war movement may comprehend that more conservative protests can get raucous too and isn’t any more of an insurrection that their movement was an continues to be in Portland. Democrat leadership just retreats from that to a certain extent so they don’t need to ‘put it down’.



Writing a vomit scene

 Vomit is an important regurgitating output of mal input. One may induce projectile vomit with a constellation of causality from getting a bad burger from the dumpster to taking chemical remedies for cancer. One should use sincerity in writing on vomit generally, although sarcasm is sometimes appropriate too, such as when comparing select Democrat priorities such as forming a commission to further continue divisive U.S. politics over one to investigate the source of Covid 19; in such a political circumstance one might elaborate the ad nauseum nature (until it makes one sick) of the congressional flow of legislative malfeasance; the dog returning to its own vomit.

Projectile vomiting has the potential to make vomit scene writing great again. Vomiting might bring up from the gut a bad hard French fry that gets stuck sideways in the throat if one was careless about eating the day old stuff. That is, may double down with sickening nostalgia memories of projectile vomiting from food poisoning. One shouldn’t try experimenting with that at home though hoping that it could bring first-person information for writing.

The 'Insurrection' Fake News Label for a Mob Invasion of the Capitol

Apparently people don’t know that legal experts have determined that the Capitol Hill mob action wasn’t an insurrection. It just wasn’t a solid threat to the existence of the U.S. Government. Legal experts have said that it wasn’t an insurrection. I posted the federal definition of that above and will repost it here. Insurrection Act of 1807 - Wikipedia John Brown planned to start an insurrection and revolt in 1859 in comparison the Trump mob of 300 or so couldn’t be taken seriously as a real insurrectionist possibility  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Brown_(abolitionist) . The military could have erased them with a single squad, one navy seal or maybe a pair of 11 bravos that passed basic training. There are Posse Comitatus issues that would make military intervention for less than a very serious situation difficult.

Therefor I wonder how the Congress could even bring that article of impeachment against the President when it was self-evident falsehood. What was the purpose of that, and what was with the fake news that called it an insurrection ad nauseum. Today Steve Inskeep at N.P.R. interviewed a legal scholar who said that it wasn’t an insurrection and explained why. Why did the question get asked by the media so long after it should have been asked, after months of pretending the mob invasion of the capitol was an actual insurrection? Because insurrection sells better and is more inflammatory?

Though temporal the Universe has purpose

 The existence of the Universe is phenomenal- an expression of God’s will. Matter appears embedded within the Higgs field that apparently unfolded from a ponderable singularity- time and being are bootstrapped occurrences with “sound and fury signifying nothing” besides being in-themselves.

Being-in-itself is the purpose of being. Change is an essential quality of being and time and life could not exist without it. There are universal constants in structures of forces, particle-waves and parameters for the behavior or range of digitalized components of energy-as-matter that allows coherent, rational forms to arise, continue and perish, and those with faith believe what is known of God concerning the eternal nature of the soul- perhaps information- and anticipated living with the Lord in heaven after the end of the temporal, day of judgment and various eschatological details and transpired.

Freedom in a sense means the range of movement of some thing. The more dimensions it has for movement the greater the freedom it could be said to have. Freedom cannot exist without support structures though. For instance, quantum particles cannot exactly be determined to be in a particular place and with a particular speed at the same time. Particles are like bumps on a wave line of infinite length and dimension that could be about anywhere, except entangled within the Higgs field and slowing down to sub-light speed they have mass and are probably within a certain range of relations. perhaps I didn’t write that very well- if the universe is digital information at the basic level the quantum values could be infinite at each location and yet for the entire Universe to have meaningful mass those numbers need to work together within a certain limited range to form a digital landscape portrait that ‘evolves’ in thermodynamic time. Freedom without discipline is such a jumble of digits that nothing arises to exist in a sentient structure, and if God intended to create sentient structures that would be a failure- and God does not fail.

I suppose one can make inferences rather easily about God applying some intention to human development within a naturally progressing Universe through interaction with humans through the Bible and other means; for instance humans need some discipline in their freedom if they are to exist for eternity with a perfect Being. Those incorrigibles that reject God altogether are digitally incompatible with existing within a coherent form over time. It may be that God just won’t pay the bills for eternity for those that refuse to believe in Him or to accept His merciful atonement for their not inconsiderable sin.

The purpose of the Universe may be to develop souls that can participate in the works of God in a righteous or approved way. Those that cannot and all of the sin and wickedness that humanity can perpetrate need to be contained- a temporal Universe is quite good for that. Consider what the world would be like for instance, if Hitler, Stalin and Pol Pot lived eternally along with everyone else, or maybe the worst serial killers and capitalist-slavers forever could torture and persecute humanity. I believe humanity could create hell on Earth or anywhere else for-themselves and many would slide down that slippery slope as sycophants.

Public Schools and Private Prisons may be counter-productive

Public schools came into existence because educated citizens were necessary for the good of the state and the public alone was able to step in to the breach to provide them. Today however there are a surplus of educated people and private capital able to operate schools. Public schools actually work against quality education in America for the masses by displacing or aborting private school conceptions.

The public should have a role in funding private schools that could appear like private contractors providing services and materials to the Department of Defense. Quality education products and results would be rewarded and competition to flourish. People with a PhD in history could stop working at a copy shop and take a job for a while in a private school instructing high school students.

Public schools have reinforced gross and pervasive income inequality based school district financing. To receive federal support private schools funded by the public should receive the same per student funding across the state and all school districts. Students from ghetto neighborhoods would have the same per student investment as those from rich districts. Private schools not funded by the state could of course choose to opt out and not receive public funding.

Private prisons have a profit motive to incarcerate people. Youth have a per-head value of maybe $40,000 each as prisoners to the for-profit prison keeper. In fact the value to a capitalist of the profit he can make by employing an individual may be less than what he can make by incarcerating an individual. It would be better if the profit motive was applied to public education and graduating quality students rather than to incarcerating youth.

How language was formed

 An association of sound, behavior, object and relation I would guess, persisted in memory. Complexity in rational sound structure compiled.

Everett and Chomsky had different ideas about grammar being innate or learned. Listening for hundreds of hours to ravens in the wild in Alaska communicate I tend to believe grammar is learned though in a sense the problem doesn’t seem too useful practically.

Ravens imitate sounds they hear from other ravens and enjoy adding new sounds to ‘phrases’ they already know. They use different sounds to mean or signal different things to other ravens and to humans too sometimes. People may be similar in their origins- it was given by God to Adam to evolve a language naming things that appeared before him paradigmatically, generally speaking, in the garden of nature before Republican or Democrat parties emerged.
