Looking to the Edge (poem)

 Leaves move gently round and round
falling at Earth down to the ground
seven times seven one more time
shake lines and stir to rhyme
right straight through revolving door
equals that state forty-nine

  Where does the future belong
if past and present got it wrong
they’d burnt books and bibes
removing good vibes from song

What to do when Bibe is gone
lost with those moving quark gongs
Webb views of uncertainty
grabbing  night star word tongs

  Mind song news gone to brief fame
big wall of darkness remains
virtual fields blind
spirit wave matter plain

  Bubbles being born again
ordinary light still trends
bringing more births through time
human life times’ best friend.

Health is Best (poem)

 

Life illusion beyond grasp
for that which one didn’t ask
stark quark shadows of nothing
due time brought worth things to task

Operating dreams implore
whales ashore walk the floor
flung in stark silhouettes
of Harpies’ cast nets of tore

  Within red rails time has gone
with truth though to ponder on
beyond oneself futures past
faith in the Lord fastens bond

Of being and nothingness
experience more or less
flows around into itself
waves of spirit, health and rest.

Moose at the Crossroads (poem)

 

At the spring when waters clear
fresh and clear skyfall mirrors
progress could not kill the drink
nor moose to think up gears

Typhoon strikes shaken trees
politics and ants eat leaves
land hope for future green growth
moose skates oath with bees

Quantum relativity
waves warp time with nothing free
fields adjust infinite spaces
cracks the dawn and race to see

Nonsense is an abstract lair
of sight, sound and rabbit flairs
material chit nothing planned
spanning Earth and warming air.

Call to Light (poem)

  Russia, EU, USA
joined together that day
when zap Von Runt plan died
allied states tried to say

  Something snappy of old dreams
sand clever things of quick streams
independent unknown space
beyond Mars those places seem

  Democracy and freesmart
economics of the heart
green parameters for growth
dice up rich oaths to start

  Capital for all is right
egalitarian night
follows day with chips for all
go smart to the call of light.

How is Zarathustra doing with the Pandemic?

 This morning when I awoke and opened the front door, I saw deer tracks leading to the front step through fresh snow and immediately wondered how Zarathustra was doing during the Covid 19 pandemic. Today is the beginning of the end of winter, or so one might hope with the weather forecast from weather radio saying that the high-pressure system over the Yukon and B.C. providing outflows that have kept the temperatures here well below freezing for some time are fading and being replaced by a series of low-pressure systems that will bring temperatures in the Southern panhandle to the 30’s and 40’s (along with flooding and high winds over deep, suddenly melting snow pack. Plainly this was the opportunity for a jejan evaluation of Zarathustra in the Covid regimen since it probably is too soon for writing anything jejune or jejulian.  

Are the conditions of Zarathustra’s (aka Nietzsche) being Beyond Good and Evil still in effect? Is the Covid 19 pandemic cull also regarded by people of a Democrat Party ilk as being beyond good and evil, good or evil, less than or equal to good, less than or greater than evil, or something altogether else? For that matter was President Biden’s Build Back Better paradigm beyond good and evil or beyond good sense?   

Here in the dark winter NPR is the sole news station available in this place without cell phone coverage. That is something like being a mushroom grown in the dark fed a load of manure. On rare occasions I get a chance to read some internet data to correct the broadcast propaganda (insufficiently). This is what I got from listening to that frequency about national politics now…

The President said that a minority should not filibuster a Democrat Senate majority and let Democrats make partisan changes to voting regulations in Republican partisan majority states. The U.S. Senate is evenly divided so making it possible to mail in election ballots from Mexico, Moscow and wherever American voters are is considered to be a good way to insure integrity for Democracy and firm up the Democrat majority hushing up minority expressions of dissent. Muhammad and Vito from the union could collect ballots from their Chicago precincts and deliver them to polling places to save work for voters yearning for more free time to drink on Sundays. A future commodities market in mail-in ballots may develop with speculators buying up ballots from low country voters for ten bucks and a hamburger today for sign and release to be sold at a considerable proplit bearer ballots in the event of close elections to highest campaign contestant bidders.   

One party systems like Democrats build cannot long endure; a free marketplace of ideas or political pluralism may be destroyed. Demicrats persuade their special electorate that Republicans make black people dehumanized and compelled to listen to country and western music ten hours a day. The President in a loving speech explained that Republicans are evil Jeff Davisonian, Bull Connerian, George Wallacian, booger and snail, puppy-dog tailed nasties that should be put under Democrat Party rule until muffled permanently. Nothing was said of equal protection of the law and state’s rights for political self-determination and pluralism as a way to prevent authoritarian tyranny by the federal government. Maybe proportionate, equal numbers of polling places per population is reasonable, yet dictating that states that want to close down bars and liquor stores and voting on Sunday should pound asphalt seems wrong. Sure as shootin, those dog gone Democrats may seek to panic black Americans (and those within several points on the html color code chart) and drive them to vote exclusively in union halls and Democcacrat party offices.

During these winter weeks I have considered the popularity of the late 19^th and early 20^th century philosopher of the eternal recurrence among certain Democrat portions of the American populace. Is the nearly eternal recurrence of Covid 19 variations confirmation of Nietzsche’s theory of eternal recurrence? Might one infer that the Universe and Multi verse, if it exists, recur because that is a more efficient way to pack an infinite number of Universes into a finite space? Or could it be that like Nietzsche who suffered from mind problems caused by advanced syphilis, that the eternal recurrence or sundry cosmology theories are the result of wrong inferences of spaced or warped cognitive paradigms? Will the Webb Space Telescope confirm or support the eternal recurrence of Covid 19 or resist it with proof better suited to a standard model of cosmology?

Can one rightly deny that the Covid 19 cull is evil or that stopping that would be good? Or are the terms of good and evil superfluous or exterior to the facts of mortality for-themselves as vaporous as words in comparison to objects? The word of God is meaningful, yet what else could be said to be so substantial as the facts of material, temporal objects in a thermodynamic stream of appearance that become, are and then fade away into the past with all things, like grass?

I suppose that the advantage of choosing to take up a beyond good or evil moral paradigm (with or without an eternal recurrence) from a subjective perspective is that evil can be done yet be exempt from being labeled evil. Good would be an irrelevant non-sequitur for those beyond good and evil of course, and for those that prefer evil works, of little concern or loss, except perhaps as they might not receive public recognition for whatever good they do to offset their evil works nominally. In the political realm being beyond good evil could have tremendous value for politicians who would be relieved of public expectations that they accomplish good works and criticism for perpetrating evil public policy.

Covid reminds me a bit of that science fiction movie of the 1980’s I believe it was, about a UFO that appeared over a panhandle logging town and lifted some trucks and people into the sky (no it wasn’t The Rapture for those that might wonder). It reminds me of that former Canadian logger from British Columbia who clandestinely chain sawed down a great white spruce tree held in reverence by some of the people of the Queen Charlotte Islands (also known as Haida Guai {it means the people}) one night who became charged with some criminal offense for the felling of the tree that he did for some reason who then became lost at sea paddling to the mainland during a storm in a kayak. Covid 19 is a perennial challenge to modern science and the responses economically and socially sometimes seems inexplicable, enigmatic and less than optimal in some respects demonstrating the problems that average people working and living with mass organizational approaches to everything can have in adapting well to novel challenges.

If people themselves working through mass organizational structures become beyond good and evil in-themselves with social reality setting forth what is good and evil, and that usually meaning compliance with organizational norms and not venturing to stick one’s neck out from the manure pile lest the Supreme Soviet of Plutocratic global term setters cast one out, or the group daily hate land upon oneself, can solve challenges with common effort, they can also repress solutions,  good adaptations and individual productivity with the coercion of social pressure to conform. Yet one may ask; what is good or evil when the values are determined by collectives? To me, they appear to be nominalist moral terms for those without faith in God. Collective use-truth values of mass social narratives are surviving, even permutating infectiously, in 2022.

Humbled Fingers (poem)

Humbilical chords of Mozart fingers
ran through the rain like bling clad singers
ballots scalped of the nation
with cost inflation dingers

  The mail is in from Moscow
with drive in loot to go
on edge election counts
bring networked clowns for show

  Futronics of the future
with richest infrastructure
glow hot air to Wall Street grail
swung low to mass nail sculpture

  The art of easy money
is music to ears like honey
far trawl of the upper class
shapes up the past unhumbly.

Democrats’ Fake Insurrection Narrative & Germany's Eastward Expansion

 I think of the United States these days as led by the Invisible Empire Soviet of Plutocrats, or, The Soviet, and both major parties as mostly unwitting service units to consolidate wealth for the plutocracy buying the planet. Therefore the fake insurrection of January 6, 2020 was, in my opinion, simply another incident to control the inane political narratives that comprises the U.S. political system these days. The Soviet in buying the world (along with the Chinese Communist Party) shorts the American poor creating permanent repressive barriers to a good life while luring the middle class to support the present system concentrating wealth and devastating the ecosphere.

An insurrection rightly ought to be an attempted revolt, a phenomenon quite unlike the January 6, 2021 events at the national capital. Democrats have broadcast the events as an attempt at insurrection since they ran out of Russian collusion narrative material to control the political zeitgeist with extremely biased propaganda. Trump partisans that stormed the capitol believed they were trying to defend the constitution and democracy against hostile takeover comprising a coup by Democrat partisans stuffing the November 2020 election ballot boxes and machines with fake or ineligible votes and outright cheating. Rather than seeking to overthrow the government of the United States the ‘insurrectionists’ thought they were defending it and the constitution of the United States.

 The late historian of civilizations Arnold Toynbee observed that one of the prime causes for the fall of a civilization is the failure of a political economy to adapt to external challenges. Today the United States and global civilization faces several existential challenges to their economic methods they are failing to adapt to. Global capitalism has developed a rationale and belief to justify itself and its inability to adapt and change to ecological economic policies that reclaim environmental health and build social well-being. In error leaders compare Adam Smith’s 18th century political philosophy for the wealth of nations to Charles Darwin’s 19th century natural philosophy favorably; they believe that natural selection in  capitalism will evolve the optimal, necessary response to empirical adversity as a verisimilitude if evolution’s natural selection thus obviating the need for rational directed evolutionary political action and reforming thought.

 Political self-destruction is, in my opinion, an alternative mechanism for necessary political change that occurs for nations and civilizations when rational methods of adaptation are beyond the competence of political leaders. Paradoxically irrational social self-destruction may be construed as a civilization’s mass political sub-consciousness trying to express a positive adaptation to change that it cannot make consciously. The historical will of Western European nations to expand eastward into Russia actualizing in the present day via Germany’s will to annex Ukraine unto N.A.T.O. with U.S. support as the zeitgeist of plutocratic expansion may embody that latent trait to self-destruction developed because of the failure of select western leaders and politicians, media and minions to adapt successfully to the challenges presented by global demographics, environment and technological facts in-themselves. It is simpler intellectually to thoughtlessly continue economic expansion through conflict than to change and direct economic evolution toward planetary sustainability and capitalist egalitarianism and rebuild World War Two era alliances in new global ecological economic adaptations. Instead of inventing conflict with Russia, the United States and Europe should invent partnership and ecological economic partnership with Russia for progress. With an allied structure each nation should respect state’s rights to the maximum degree acceptable for social self-determination together with human rights.

  The U.S. plutocrat Soviet controls most of the nation’s wealth and receives most of the national income. It has outsourced and redistributed national production globally transforming the national economy into preponderantly a service and especially financial service economy reliant upon global plutocrat imports materially (with easy to inflate prices for the domestic consumer sector).

For some time, since the late Senator Harry Read was the Democrat minority and majority leader and Speaker Pelosi led Democrats in the House the Democrat Party has seemed to work toward one-party rule through any way possible. The party is itself a threat to Democracy equaled perhaps just b y the planetary plutocrat blue-blood wing of the Republican Party.

 Fake news of a partisan nature is in some ways a function of creators of media content interpreting and spinning social relationships and d events the way they want to hear them. Of course there are [plain fake news articles on content written or broadcast with the explicit intent to deceive to. Republican voters as well as Democrats have been swamped for a decade or more with partisan and biased news purveyed by corporate interests owned in past at least by plutocrats. The debacle of consuming the entire Trump administration with bogus accusations of Russian collusion to win the 2016 election helped Republicans and others to realize the proclivity to falsehood Democrat Party leadership supported. That in turn helped stimulate distrust in election results that were probably more or less accurate however.

   Maybe 30% of citizens will believe incorrect things from alien invasions or UFO visits to vaccines made to cause brain death. It is not illogical that Trump loyalists swamped with fake and biased news for years would turn out some that would protest the election results because of distrust of Democrats counting votes. To label those people as revolutionaries or insurrectionists was however m ore fake news narrative content from Democrat and plutocrat partisans that share many of the same objections, as the Democrat party is something like a corporate owned union.

Human beings migrated historical not simply for reasons of exploration or insufficient ecological conditions to sustain life, they also moved away from other humans and the natural human will to power. Migration to the United States generally saw humans moving away to a nearly unpopulated land with few natural human predators upon other humans. With the continent and nation ecologically full continuing immigration becomes counter-productive for long term occupancy. The U.S.A. may experience challenges such as that of residence becoming a revolving door as citizenship in the corporate concentration of wealth paradigm moves toward disposability; people are as disposable as products in the mass consumer society increasingly. Capitalist plutocrats will seek cheap labor and immigrant brain power to invent and produce products to further increase capitalist wealth. The situation may arise where retired citizens are encouraged to move abroad to live in Central And South America, Asia and India or China to free up living space and keep rental costs down. Perhaps for each U.S. citizen who emigrated permanently yet receiving a stipend monthly of $1000 two citizens of the receiving nation would be allowed to legally migrate to the U.S.A. if satisfying education and/or labor strength requisites. That kind of situation would be a fair human trade from the viewpoint of capitalist plutocrats, as American expatriates would bring spending and skills to poor countries while the U.S.A. receives an infusion of new brain and brawn.

Egalitarian capitalism with a purely free enterprise foundation would eliminate too big to fail corporate concentrations of wealth and are counter-productive to the good side of competition. When business ventures require large scale capital several companies could form ad hoc joint venture projects. Human civilizations on occasion experience implicit social challenges that require new institutional responses. Two striking examples are those of military and education. In the present world planetary, environmental, demographic and technological circumstance the new institutional challenge is to eliminate poverty nationally first with basic universal income, free walk in health care for the poor globally and environmental reclamation synthesized with business. The U.S.A. has failed those challenges so far and inertially plunges ahead with minion sycophants in support of tax cuts and hoary political philosophies of the past, lubricated with godless, senseless amorality beyond good and evil.

 Wealthy plutocrats like former President Trump comprise a small percent of the world population and wield a disproportionate degree of political power. It is somewhat amusing that the red state anti-Democrat decadence hero Donald Trump is a plutocrat himself rather than a blue collar politician up from the average like William Jennings Bryant pursuing rural political interests.

  Global plutocrats are a few thousand people that own most of the world’s wealth. As such they comprise somewhat of a behind the obvious ad hoc imperial empire. The major political forces of this era are stumbling g along toward forms of ad hoc imperialism globally supported by groups with historically imperial sympathies like Brits, non-Jewish Semitic tribes and so forth, as well as plutocrats and their collectivist employees of the corporate sector. Democrats in fact support the imperial movement against true democracy- one with financial egalitarianism and leadership, as much as anyone does, though unaware in most instances. American blacks historically preferred the Brits versus U.S. revolutionaries, and Hispanics with their culture too easily supported strong men dictators in plutocratic dress.

 American democracy may already be dead at the national level though it lives like a kind of zombie to vote for plutocraticly acceptable candidates. The broadcast media is a tool of plutocracy generally in support of interests that plutocrats favor such as homosexuality, abortion, trans-border trade and migration paradigms and low taxes on the rich while dumping public debt. Democrats fail to realize that ordinary people actually may dissent from those policies that they favor, and plutocrats are aware of how to manipulate the polity and divide the citizenry along racial issues of small economic meaning to the masses. Communist and other socialist and neo-socialist forms of collective economic behavior have moved toward supporting global elite rule too so far as to be able to merge to a degree with the economic goals and developments of plutocratic capitalist investors globally. This year the prospects for regulated free enterprise of an egalitarian sort with caps on the concentration of wealth or investments in more than three corporations per individual look as poor as the prospect of restoring a reasonable tax rate of 75% upon plutocrats.
