Heroes of the Revolution- Happy New Year!

 New Year’s day is the start of another week kicking off the revolution. Evidently the Earth circles around the sun counting as a year. January 6, 2021 was appropriately timed to start a revolution that was stillborn; deemed an aborted insurrection by Democrats.

I am not sure how the revolution was stopped in its tracks- the docu-movie Nancy Rambo- First Blood will show how close quarters combat in the capital saved post-modernism from hillbilly thugs trying to lynch mob moral and budgetary subjectivism. The Resident Evil Republican Party movie has several nominations for Best Picture and the lead actor Hyronymous Trump was awarded the Best Villain award by the January 6 Committee even before the show in February started.

Each year following the conclusion of revolution week and insurrection month there is a Heroes Film festival presenting awards to all the heroes in movies that save the nation annually from space aliens, illegal undocumented aliens from space and Mexico or Central America, nuclear attacks on San Francisco from Russia, Volcanoes that will flood the Earth with molten lava, sea level rises above Mt. Everest and so forth. It is certain that Nancy Rambo will figure high in the voting for best Hero Actor of 2023 for movies made in 2022.

A Broken Political Economy Can Leave One Broke

A broke revolt? Apparently it isn't proper to say "it's broke" in reply to a question like "Does you're economic policy work?" How can Americans accept that broke means having no money and can't be used to directly say that something is shattered, in pieces, fractured or busted up? The year two thousand and twenty two had an economy somewhat broken by a foreign war whole-heartedly supported by Democrats. Oil rose in price with sanctions on Russia and inflation hit Americans that aren't rich rather solidly. One hopes the distinction of being broke is not lost on those in government that might misunderstand the correct way to avoid being broke. Breaking a political economy can leave a nation broke.

With wrong economic macro-management the government could break the economy and leave itself broke simulatenously. Broke and broken would be a fullfillment of the logical extrapolation of the David Stockman conundrum regarding deficit spend perhaps including the recently signed-in-to-law 1.7 trillion dollar extra federal budget bill. Once upon a time nearly a couple of trillion dollars was considered real money.

It is o.k. to say that one broke something- like writing a budget leaving government broke as a past participle of break. In other words if one is an economist broken upon the wheel the poor soul would be broken and if not awash with cash, perhaps broke too. I hope that make it perfectly clear. Broke means without money more or less and broken is the right word for poorly designed political economies that don't work.

Drill sergeants used to refer to injured personnel as 'broke dicks'.  Maybe that use is some sort of pronoun. Bob Dylan wrote a song about things broken. His english was correct.

Ukraine on Russian Peace Negotiations; 'Not without Russian Surrender First'

 Ukraine's Presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak said that Ukraine will 'demilitarize the Russian Federation to the end'. The Ukrainian foreign minister said that a summit should be held excluding Russia to discuss peace. He also said that a War Crimes tribunal must be held before Ukraine talks with Russia about peace. With unlimited conventional weapons supremacy and with Washington being the free weapons supplier to Ukraine to war on Russia the prospects for peace, besides unilateral surrender of Russia to the will of Joe Biden and President Zelinsky have died.

The west has concluded that what is in fact the worst way is the best way for the New Europe to enter the New World Order. They are like hillbilly bull riders that super-glue themselves onto the saddle and won't be getting off until the exhausted animal collapses and perishes in the belief they will have a year of good eats for nothin. Maybe they are right, maybe not.

Questions such as 'Does God Create Evil?'

Philosophers of the 20th century developed the idea that categorical errors are the basis of numerous philosophical disputations. Questions are based in language and language has meaning lexicons or as Quine called them 'ontologies' with their own vocabulary that is not translatable into other lexicons since the meaning is embedded within a particular lexicon. Assumptions about God as the ‘author’ of this or that tend to have several implicit categories regarding meaning, what can be known of God directly, indirectly and so forth that would fall into the criterion of categorical errors or inter-lexical disconformities of meaning.

If evil refers to natural events like volcanic eruptions and the burial of Vesuvius I think it reasonable to assume that the physical mechanics of this Universe; the boundary conditions, were foreknown by God. It is likely that he set them too. The Universe has thermodynamics and evil and that is just the way it is. It seems to be a containment facility for mankind after the fall in order to prevent wicked disobedience from automatically obtaining everlasting, uncorrected life. Some pots the pot-maker breaks and others he destinies to salvation; who can argue with the Maker-of-Pots of what purpose he has for them? Perhaps mainly those pots that are broken or unredeemed or reprobate.

Can anyone understand the limits if any of omnipotence and omnipotence? I believe the answer is probably not. Can God create anything beyond his control in any possible Universe? Would all things God wills into existence exit in some way from eternity with God? There are innumerable wonderful questions to consider in regard to God’s power. Certainly though the questions tend to be reductionist and use implicit and nearly tautological premises since God is infinite in power and knowledge and people are not. Temporal questions concerning eternal issues tend to fall short of being competent and hence categorical errors or misclassifications arrive. People must ask some questions on a temporal foundation and assume there parameters are correct or somewhat comprehensive of eternal parameters when in fact they might not be and it is even unlikely that they are.

Shoes that unfasten themselves

 Would it be useful to have shoes that untie themselves. With the profusion of chips that understand human language it would be simple to make voice activated shoe unfastening devices powered with a rechargeable battery built into the sole of the shoe. Fasteners would receive an on off command- perhaps programmable to release a lock.

Simple fasteners would be best- perhaps (i.e.) a velcro strap etc. with a metal servo-latch.

I thought of the idea not becausse I enter many homes in Japan, rather because ice grippers that attach on the bottom of shoes for maneuvering city streets in Alaska when glare ice with surface water is routine in winter, require taking off the shoes to put on a different pair goping indoors where scuffing up floors is frowned upon. They don't make many sawdust floors in Alaska anymore that aren't harmed by cleats.

Maybe some retrofit device could be made as well as properly equiped new shoes. Maybe the shoes could have wireless rechargers like Apple phones so one could just leave them on a floor recharger stand over night.

Evil is Undermining the American Dream

 Twitter dumped more information concerning government-Twitter collusion to repress free speech to benefit the Biteme administration's core post-modernist agenda. Evidently the F.B.I. and C.I.A. colluded with pre-Musk era Twitter execs to degrade, repress, spindle, fold and mutilate politically antipathetic twits.

The Twitter reveal is a disillusiuoning event. Although one may have known since the Obama administration that post-modernist, leftist, corporatocratic social media sycophants were rigging social media search engine listings or outright banning conservative and independent poltical opinion in order to keep the U.S. electorate in a state resembling mushrooms kept in the dark and fed a load of manure, to have confirmation that all is not perfectly fair and balanced in the American wonderland where everyone is living the dream drops a load of crap on the streets and all the aroma that follows.

Seattle's County-King Bans Select Free Speech on Employee Zoom Calls

  Seattle is a shining city on seven hills; one with broad sidewalks hosting the pathos that gumshoes like to  ponder wearing a trenchcoat in the rain. Inside the higher eschalons of government insiders a woke philosophy to ban Christian and Jewish religious symbols has taken hold like mold on soggy bread. A King County Washington State (where Seattle is located) Human Resourcves Manager issued an order that no religious symbols can be seen in employee homes when making zoom calls. Gloria Ngezaho has generated an interesting point of contention about the rights homeowners and renters have when wotrking from home; can an employer reasonably proscribe protected constitutional rights of employees because of the extorting threat of suspension or termination of employment? Some people don't take free speech and the constituion to heart or prioritize it over the values of dictators and the communist party.

It isn't quite as simple of an issue as it seems. Plainly courts wouldn't side against some businesses requiring that workers in their homes wear clothing on zoom conference calls; yet can they ban sex, or nose picking, eating snack foods or watching movies when discussing county business? If a county bans the burka at the job can it extend that control to the home? If a business bans cross-dressing transvestite presentations at work does King County ban that at home too? The woke crowd sides with haters of religious symbols and wants crosses, menorahs and nativity scenes to fade away to Strawberry Fields forever.

I am not sure of Manager Gloria Ngezaho's gender. I am not being facitious or disingenuous. The name is female yet he or she looks mostly male although wearing clothing colored, uh, school lunch sandwhich magenta (see photo with the Daily Mail. To some he or she would be an offensive symbol in-itself. It is a symbol of anti-Christian valuess comprising godless atheism. Christians are fundamentally tolerant of other people and beklieve themselves accountable for their own sin rather than that of others. Interesting questions though; to what extent can business or government decree what employees can do in their homes; can they prevent freedom of expression of the first amendment, or should they even want to?

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11573433/Kings-County-receives-Ebenezer-Award-woke-edict-banning-Christmas-Hannukah-displays.html

That is one of the conundrums of the woke movement; a proclivity for banning free speech wherever it is antipathetic to their own values. It was pervasive across social media undermining the earning of countless writers yet should not be gleefully taken up by governments that are supposed to defend constitional rights like freedom of expression and religious freedom, rather than act to suppress them.
