White House Should Eliminate Taxes on Solar Power and Electric Cars

   The White House should trust the market to set poil prices and simply promote green, American energy relying on the service provision of the sun to provide cheap (free) energy to entrepreneurs and consumers alike. The sun is a stable energy source with enough photons to supply U.S. energy needs more than a century. The administration should accentuate the positive instead of seeking to increase reliance on oil.

Oil should be conserved for use in plastics and other manufactures.

Good Ideas are Parts for Inventions

Good ideas are parts; pieces of construction elements that may be added together to form something new. Whenever individuals excel at building something new, with innovative designs unknown before, besides creating something people will use and others imitate, they have made a part that may be synthetically combined with other good existing ideas to construct something entirely new.

 Without the presence of good ideas contributed to common knowledge by others it would be pretty difficult to originate all of those ideas for-oneself and put together new concepts that may be actualized and potentially become facts in real construction. Skydiving is a greatly innovative and excellent thing for example yet it would not have risen to its heights without the prior invention of balloons and airplanes. Cliff jumping might not have had as great a utility as aircraft jumps.

 The construction of building in space; in micro-gravity, is obviously a field with tremendous potential for good ideas to arise in. With so many different gravitational field strengths and light content varying in space and time the number of different kinds of structures and materials that could be used to fulfill designs is very large. Interestingly many or most of the good ideas and designs will never be actualized in the lifetimes of the designers presently working for there is far too little construction ability in relation to the quantity of ideas already existing.

 The sun for example may be used as a de facto blast furnace for metallurgical manufacture. Minerals extracted far out in the solar system may be sent in with gravity to facilities located near the sun. Sunlight may be collected close in, converted to electricity and exploited to power lasers or particle beams to react with the cargo carrier space transit modules to move finished products to the outer solar system. Various local gravity fields of moons and planets may be used to shape construction grains dispersed upward into a field that will collapse downward in the g field to form perfect parabolic shapes and freeze or dry into those configurations. Vast building components could be assembled exploiting natural forces.

 It is said that aluminum naturally fuses in micro gravity. One might be able to spray aluminum grains  onto screens in micro-gravity to fuse solid as if it were gunnite concrete sprayed on to form Earth domes. Plainly the manufacture of spherical structures in space should be as simple and natural as nature’s siliceous tests from plankton that built up the cliffs of Dover. Sunlight collected, concentrated and focused as particle beams and/or lasers should be reflected and amplified to power a solar system-wide grid for space module ships to draw power from. Mass drivers located on low-gravity moons without much atmosphere could send space ship modules on their way to a space transport network power grid.

 Dyson spheres wherein one surrounds a star with the ground up matter of a solar system’s planets at an optimal distance for the normal gravitational and heating standard of the parent planet of local stars or more. Freeman Dyson’s idea was very far ahead of its time of creation and may be combined with other good ideas to make something new and presently unknown. It would be interesting if gravity becomes more understood, to exploit gravitational fields for kedging spaceships around local star groups at relativistic speeds. One wonders if concentrating mass at relativistic speeds might be useful for advanced construction procedures if the accelerated mass could be locked in to place perhaps with juxtaposed or intersecting, focused gravitational fields.

 One might design electromagnetic fields empowered with energy from the sun converted and reconverted from photons to electrons to laser beams back to electrons and electromagnetic fields. Fields generated on moons could be used to backstop oppositely charged electro-magnetic fields in space that are shaped and sequentially switched on to acellerate mass ships and modules to relativistic speeds on set course making Pluto two months away from the inner solar system. Shaped magnetic fields with select activation could be routinely used for constructing modules in micro-gravity. There are unlimited possible invention ideas waiting to be syntheticly recomnined from existing ideas and technology.

 

On Earth one might design hollow mountain ranges for buildings for people to live within and double the potential useful area per construction unit because the exterior of the structures could be used as well as the interiors. Plants and wildlife could use the exteriors as well as agriculture (the hanging gardens of Babylon may have been agricultural as well as decorative with ornamental, flowering plants). One concept interesting to me was the idea of using water from rain and snow (or sandstorms and dust or sand) that settled on exterior surfaces to generate electricity that could be used multiple times with catch and release to turn generators. For example; the initial deposit would build up on a collecting/concentrating surface that could sink under the weight and crank up a spring that would release upward when the water or sand was released. That would allow the spring to power a generator as it rose. The water could be spilled from the spring through a turbine downhill powering a generator producing the second round of power and that process could be repeated. The exterior surface of a rightly designed mountain (I traveled through the ersatz Matterhorn at a theme park Disneyland or something at the 1960 world Fair in N.Y. or elsewhere and that suggested the idea to me later of building vast artificial mountains that would be constructed with steel beams etc later) could produce electricity from alternative sources including wind, solar and water or dust and sand). Could produce power, grow food and shelter tens of thousands of people while not displacing the ecosphere if location selections are well chosen.

 Good ideas are abstract parts or elements that may be recombined in new structures (ideas).

 

Republicans should run a normal kind of Presidential Candidate in 2024

 Winning the 2024 Presidential election should be easy for the Republican Party. If they don’t run Donald Trump or Ted Cruz it would be hard to lose. Senator Cruz is foreign born and an automatic no for many conservatives. If he focuses on doing a good job for Texas in the Senate he might win his next re-election campaign and pick up more seniority in the Senate and continue doing good work in what is actually an important job.

Republicans won’t find any sort of Gov. Dan Evans of Washington circa 1970s or one who understands environmental economics. They have got Gov Abbot of Texas, Senator Rubio and former V.P. Mike Pence of course; and each could probably do a good job in the White House, yet finding a young Robert Redford- a candidate with charisma, skills and moral conservatism, would be an obvious way to win against the soon-to-be-octogenarian, Mr. Five Dolla-gallon President Biden. The Republican nominee will want a female running mate- someone ideally, like former Senator Barbara Boxer- Bill Clinton’s cousin, if only she could be drawn to the Republican side of the force. Her name is ideal for a female Vice President.

President Biden was Barrack Obama’s understudy perhaps trained in the ways of the dark side of the force. In the Middle East President Obama helped cascade a generation of violence into being and becoming. Joe Biden’s trip to the Middle East could perhaps catalyze a new round of violence and undermine the progress that President Trump accomplished in bringing peaceful relations to the region. Ukraine never was an independent nation before President Clinton deemed it so. It was always part of Russia except when foreign invaders or communists surged in for a time. That is why Russia has said that Ukrainian independence is a fiction and has fought to retake it. I mention that simply to point out the inept way NPR reported on efforts to end gun violence in the U.S.A., using the word ‘fighting’ to end gun violence liberally, instead of using some term like ‘working’. Some of the left prefer to escalate language use toward violence themselves, desensitizing the nation, like video games, to actual violence. Escalating the Ukraine conflict for the Democrat Party and the rich wing of the Republican Party, was as natural as breathing.

Whoever gets the nomination will want to have a female running mate to get the female vote. A younger Republican candidate for President will get more votes from dissatisfied Democratic youth unhappy at having their constitutional rights impinged who are becoming burdened with onerous regulations buying an assault weapon on their 18th birthday.  And remembering that Obamacare taxed them in particular. Maybe voting requires less competence than owning an assault weapon; so Democrats aren’t seeking to raise the voting age to 21 or have additional background checks for mail in voting.

Noh Fish (a poem)

Are magic fish caught? All
would make more forever
‘till the last was gone
You may cut the trees,
banking until they vanish.

Utopia's Fate (poem)

 

Oppressed in utopia now
the music seems to be with the past
time and space flow in gravity’s shadow
metal music with easy rhymes fast

Hating the ban on things one should hate
mockery would shock hate till time’s late
utopia tech with populous blocks
mass hysteria bust utope’s fate.

International Affairs in the U.S. Foreign Policy Vacuum

 In the absence of intelligent U.S. foreign and domestic policy the economic and social environment positives of the United States would seem to be in long-term decline. That isn’t too surprising. Rather than consider the background of the decline and the reasons why the U.S.A. has a dirth of quality, innovative and adaptive Presidential leadership that supports constitutional rights for individuals strongly as opposed to special class privileges I will move on to consider a few potential developments of circumstances of international affairs.

Making Russia an enemy instead of an ally was a grave error after the end of Cold War 1.0.  U.S. leadership was stupid concerning the wresting of Ukraine and Crime away from Russia. Much blame and obfuscation or responsibility may be relocated yet it was strongly in America’s interests to recognize Russian historical relationship to Ukraine and Crimea and make sure their interests were met.

The reasons for the Ukraine-Russia failure were largely material. When too many people have purely material interests in high political leadership they fail at abstract reasoning in several affairs such as history, religion, morality. Pure materialism may focus so narrowly on material advantages that it has no political vision. As it is now the United States has fully invested in dividing the planet between itself and European allies plus Japan and the side of Russia and China.  That division reduces the potential market area for sales by half. For some that may present new opportunities and yet for others it creates strong economic doldrums.

There is a legendary explanation for why Democrat party leadership on international affairs is so bad. An uncomplimentary account, it postulates that supporting illegal immigration for cheap labor to replace white men whom are regarded as rivals is natural enough. Democrat elites and rich patrons designed replacement policy appealing to runty scheming neo-leftist females and homosexuals that need have replacement labor if strait white men are to be downgraded and women and queers rise to domination. They expect strait men to lift weights and be happy as dumb hedonistic laborers and soldiers while women executives wear suits and force a kinder, gentler new world order as the brains of the outfit. Afraid of Russia and its anti-Democrat Party values, runt elites used strait Ukrainian men to fight Russia men to bring or keep more Russian land for Democrat and Plutocratic allies and material profit. I cannot say that the explanation is true or accurate, yet like many contemporary political matters it may have a grain of truth in it. If it were true, in my opinion it would an effort to make a Satanic World Order of willing slaves, perhaps coerced a bit. Peace is better than war for prosperity; it may require creative thinking about how to make everyone winners rather than a few, with many losers.

The non-aligned world is largely one of 2nd and third world people that find Chinese socialism more sympathetic or understanding at least rhetorically to their own economic troubles and the legends of colonial and capitalist exploitation. With China’s quickly advancing economy infused with U.S. and European investments in a somewhat adversarial relation ship the U.S.A. will encounter more direct economic competition with China for the non-aligned world. Russia oil excluded from sales to most first world nations will be an attractive alternative source for oil at about 50% of the price of western oil. The United States relies on Europe for political support and economic trade yet even Britain- the primary European ally of the inside-the-beltway and Eastern elitist crowd will pursue its own economic advantages with China even as it uses the United States as its blaster in the master-blaster relationship it enjoys. Some in D.C. seem to rely on British intelligence concerning Eurasian matters too.

As Europe and the EU rises in local political power it has leveraged the Ukraine affair to increase its ,military footing. Apparently Germany will soon be the third most powerful military in the world with its 120 billion dollar investment in weapons. As. Europe rises in military strength it will also tend to rely far less on the United States for defense as it has since the end of the second world war. It may also expect to lead the United States more concerning international affairs until it flips to some new relationships entirely severing the post 2nd world war posture.

Japan presently is building the best new jet fight on the planet. It will be capable of directing several drone fighter and bomber aircraft from each jet, That is an amazing upgrade in military flight. Each jet fighter will act something like an entire wing of jet fighters. Japan is perhaps the best U.S. military ally for the short and intermediate range as it can present a substantial challenge to China in a few years for air superiority in concert with the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Naval aviation. Japan also is a lone wolf nation with few Asian friends. In that regard it may increasingly resemble the United States in the future as the United States loses friends around the world such as it has. When the EU becomes something more like an economic rival and militarily independent rather than an ally the United States will be more isolated, so far as anyone can be isolated in a very over-populated world using the present political economy.

North Korea’s nuclear power rise may increase considerably and it may choose to sell nuclear bombs for cash to compensate for strong Euro-American sanctions. Japan and Germany may seek to go nuclear too to balance perceived Iranian, N. Korean, Russian and Chinese nuclear threats. I needn’t point out that this is a very dangerous world scenario. There will be very little global cooperation on global warming countermeasures as the atheist leading powers pursue purely material advantages, and corporatism of the west conflicts with mixed market socialism of the east for planetary economic turf and the allegiance of developing nations.

House Select January 6th Committee Has a One-sided Point of View

 The trouble with the House committee investigating the January 6th mob storming of the capitol is that it presents just one point of view. The Select Committee was entirely selected by Democrat House Speaker Pelosi. It is as if a jury were made up solely of people selected by the prosecutor. Rep. Jim Jordan or other Republicans proposed by House Minority Leader McCarthy were kicked to the gutter by Speaker Pelosi. Democrats in politics and social media have been working to censor people they view as political opponents since the Obama administration. With an equally corrupt selection process Democrats in 1963 could have proved that Dwight Eisenhower ordered the assassination of JFK.

During the Trump impeachment hearings Democrats did their best to minimize then President Trump’s defenders speaking time. They succeeded reducing to zero partisan Republicans from sitting on the committee investigating the January 6th incident. Speaker Nancy Pelosi cherry-picked the members of her inquisition. Thus the fruits of the committee produced a tainted product reminiscent of a Soviet show trial with the defense muffled. Authoritarian regimes do not tolerate dissenting viewpoints.

The House Committee is an insult to Americans expected to believe that a fair, non-partisan investigation dedicated to convicting former President Trump after impeachment conviction failed has a possibility of being objective, truthful or even credible in the absence of a defense. Americans are expected to believe credulously in every package of data presented and interpreted by party stooges of globalists, the uber-rich and Democrat Party leadership puppets. Intelligent Americans would rather move on from the Trump hating do-nothing-on-global-warming Congress than continue the lunacy conspiracy theorists down rabbit hole vectors to alternative atheist universes where public debt, nuclear war and global warming are  back burner issues.

 It is very challenging to consider the mass protest at the capitol on January 6th an insurrection. Americans and especially conservatives own a lot of weapons, yet few weapons were evident at the protest and no shots were fired by protesters. Some members of the protest mob surged into the lightly defended capitol building yet there was an absence of provisions for light military fighting to hold the capitol against armed retaking by government forces. There also should have been some sort of coordinated attack on financial centers in elite liberal cities such as Boston and San Francisco. It would have been necessary to take down the power grid of Washington D.C. at minimum and promote chaos in the city with a surge of armed anarchistic insurrectionist in the dark. One would think an insurrection would have managed to sink at least one government ship tied to a dock like the U.S.N. Cole. Comparing the fake insurrection at the Capitol even with John Brown’s attack on the national guard armory makes  the alleged insurrection seem like a 60s anti-war protest that bum-rushed buildings.

One may hope that the United States never experiences an actual insurrection. If the capitol were taken and the legislators slaughtered except for Rep. Liz Cheney,  and if the naval submarine fleet didn’t like her leadership they would have the power themselves to nuke D.C. as a kind of independent 3rd power submarine fleet with nukes.  There may be a zillion scientists and engineers that could hot-wire a nuclear missile and launch one without government codes. It isn’t likely they are booby trapped to detonate if tampered with. Speaker Von Pelosi cannot always count on control of the media through left-leaning allies to support a Pee Wee Herman scale insurrection narrative without possibility of the real thing happening. Covid has shown there are innumerable ways that scientists could cull the population. In the absence of good, intelligent political leadership with oars in the water making the world a better place physically, actually for all Americans, the risks appear to increase rather than decrease- even crying wolf about the Pee Wee Herman Insurrection.

A word about the prevailing social and demographic paradigm increasing the risk of mass population culls and/or insurrection. The present geo-demographic resource population density and technology cluster has enabled totalization of government-media-intelligence agency presence and power over the nation. Unlike in prior eras before technology and population saturation of the nation when there was little danger of intentional mass population cull or of technology driven revolution without substantial popular support, the present era is enabled for total, ubiquitous nation-wide surveillance and control of the population even unto repression of dissident free speech in social media. With the shrinking of the nation’s physical range of freedom and liberty from invasive government and media surveillance to one dominated by total daily presence and surveillance of the masses even monitoring most business transactions, power has increased to elite minorities to shape the destiny of the nation. That concentration of power to elite applies a fracturing and repressing force to the rest of the population running into the concrete ceiling of democracy that is actually plutocractic corporatism with willing puppet political tools.

The totalization of political power to have live geographic domination applies pressure on dissidents to find ways to shatter the power of the totalitarians. Unfortunately the selection and election of political leaders to fill natural roles of power in a live paradigm of over-population density and too much technology to curtail real privacy is more a function of circumstance than design or mal-intention. Nevertheless without intelligent political leadership to direct of all of society to different and vastly improved real-world economic and space exploration systems, the default is for the effectively powerless under the pressure of totalitarian elites to cull the ‘system’ and the population comprising it. If there are 20 leaders per million people, and a thousand for 330 million people more or less, there may be several thousand scientifically educated people whom are dissidents capable of engineering culls of population or engineering significant economic and/or social catastrophes catalyzing changes of government and so forth. In the era of totalization the price for failing to intelligently respond to empirically challenges may be very high.
