The Sarah Palin - Civil War Terrorist Connection
Hey terrorism supporters, have you taken those confederate flags down off of your pickup trucks and your Harley Davidson motorcycles yet? They label you for what you are - fascists, terrorism supporters. |

They label you for what you are - fascists, terrorism supporters. To my eye, Palin is unique: a virulent mundane. And in my view, she's relevant to sci.space.policy. I have seen one report she's a millennialist, that is, she believes the Christian Rapture and related events will take place in her lifetime. My first thought is, that's scary, what if McCain dies (which he seems near to); she's President, and we have an international crisis and there's her thumb on the Big Red nuclear Button? ?? Which is terribly relevant today, but off this newsgroup's topic. However, one can move on with plausible assessments of Palin to ask, what will be her attitude toward space settlements or even exploration? ?? And I think, if Bush didn't kill it, she probably won't, but neither will it go anywhere while she's in office. It is a bad scenario, when we have lagged far behind the rest of the world. The world have grown while we ...didn't. Will the Solar System language in coming centuries be Mandarin Chinese? It seems to be what Palin would choose.

[removing alt.politics.bush] Sorry, I've been having a hard time penetrating through to the usenet, it's like my IP is under attack. When you see trillions upon trillions of dollars of wealth which was painfully and destructively extracted out of the environment and biosphere of the planet, suddenly evaporate into a flux of electrons, it does give one pause for thought. Then when you look at the beliefs, views and philosophies of the people who think they are managing this global fiasco in a rational or empirical manner, its clear that we are approaching another colossal science verses religion battle here, one that nobody besides myself and a few others are waging. Others brush it off as fear and hate, but it goes to their core beliefs. These people feel they are ENTITLED to a life they know nothing about. I'm not talking about the poor and huddled masses and the legions of welfare and entitlement recipients, they have legitimate excuses, and they're living on shoestrings already, but I'm talking about the lower to middle working class people all the way up to the top, those people who have been directly benefitting from the oil economy of yesteryears. Our civilization runs on oil and gas, and we have vastly exceeded the capabilities Earth's naturally evolved biosystems to accommodate it. They're response is that they don't believe in evolution, god gave us the good life, we are gonna keep the good life, and if you even think about taking the good life away from us, we hate you and we'll kill you. It matters not which religion, cult or sect the general idea originated. It's a fairly common theme through history, we all know it as fascism. Now to the topic. The oil and gas was supposed to be applied to space colonization. I wrote a letter about it way back in 1986 right after the Challenger disaster. That letter is archived in the Library of Congress. How are we gonna accomplish that now that half of the reserves went up in smoke, along with all of the wealth that it had ultimately created, at the horrible expense of our environmental and evolutionary systems? It gets a lot worse, but lets focus on the positives. Elon Musk has some hardware he is working on, and Mr. B has a plan. I call it 'Plan B'. As far as this meltdown goes, it can only be a good thing, but we need to stop the American fascist movement in its tracks, and make some Constitutional changes so that this kind of **** doesn't happen again, and then we need to NATIONALIZE both science and space as our goals. In lieu of that, you know the outcome. NASA and NOAA are lost already. It's all about value. Since I understand that I am a mammal glued to the surface of a planet with a molten core, by the immense force of gravity, and that I have to breath oxygen continuously, drink water regularly and EAT DAILY, then I place value on those things, and where they come from. Now add temperature, pressure and fluxes to that list of necessities. Don't take anything for granted, add predators as well. That's where our illiterate and fascist friends come in. They want theirs, no sharing! These people have built vast temples to their vanity, and have completely taken for granted the underlying physics of existence. Vast temples in space aren't gonna help you much without the dirt. I think I finally figured out the Miracle of Fatima. It was a demonstration of an asteroid impact. |

When you see trillions upon trillions of dollars of wealth which was painfully and destructively extracted out of the environment and biosphere of the planet, suddenly evaporate into a flux of electrons, it does give one pause for thought. It's not evaporating, it's a monstrous transfer of wealth. From the unsuspecting to those paying attention. A 40% world wide clip off the top. They're a lot of people getting very wealthy as we speak buying up what they can while it's so low. Prices have to change for anyone to make money. As far as this meltdown goes, it can only be a good thing, No, the meltdown or panic sell was due to a primary economic variable which had become unstable. That's not good. However the experience can bring new knowledge and mechanisms to prevent a repeat down the road. You have yet to learn the primary impetus for the evolution of the physical and living worlds. Whenever a system is pushed far enough from equilibrium to the brink, edge or phase transistion state. Then new problem solving mechanisms spontaneously emerge. The system 'evolves' as a result of being pushed to the edge. This is true for all complex adaptive systems in the universe including the universe as a whole. but we need to stop the American fascist movement in its tracks, and make some Constitutional changes so that this kind of **** doesn't happen again, Again, you fail to see how nature works. This panic sell is following the very same pattern I derived from complexity science several years ago. This pattern is /one of two/ universal pre images which form approaching the edge. Literally half the all the stocks in the market...today...show my pattern. I've been claiming this is a universal pattern for several years, and now that the pattern IS INDEED UNIVERSAL, since every damn ticker is showing this same pattern RIGHT NOW, proves my idea. And to an extent I find rather spooky. But what this means when the market is following this universal pattern is that it's behaving as a complex adaptive system....SHOULD behave under these exact circumstances, or level of system wide uncertainty. It's very reassuring to me to see the market behave in this way, not for the drop which hurts a lot of people, but for the fact this behavior ....is natural. To act to prevent natural behavior in the market is the big mistake, that is fascism. The solution is in understanding how the panic began. By not recognizing that non-linear or cascading behavior easily emerges from an unstable primary system variable. For instance, changing the amount of sunlight hitting the earth, sunlight is a primary system variable. And changing it effects countless other variables and in unpredictable ways. A slight change can create massive effects... sensitivity to intial conditions or the butterfly effect. Every system has TWO primary driving forces, a static and chaotic tendency. The credit industry is just such a primary variable, while consumer confidence is the other I would think. The static (fixed rules) and the chaotic (freedom of choice). Those two need more self correcting mechanisms than any others. and then we need to NATIONALIZE both science and space as our goals. FASCIST g In lieu of that, you know the outcome. NASA and NOAA are lost already. It's all about value. Since I understand that I am a mammal glued to the surface of a planet with a molten core, by the immense force of gravity, and that I have to breath oxygen continuously, drink water regularly and EAT DAILY, then I place value on those things, and where they come from.

They want theirs, no sharing! These people have built vast temples to their vanity, and have completely taken for granted the underlying physics of existence. No, some people realize that reality is not objective. That our subjective relationship is an equal partner and far easier to alter to our desires. Everyone has to find their own peace of mind. The processes of evolution in nature show us how to improve ourselves. A constant state of personal improvement provides and endless source of hope. This is the only rational way to find Heaven on Earth. Or a Utopian existence. Vast temples in space aren't gonna help you much without the dirt. I think I finally figured out the Miracle of Fatima. It was a demonstration of an asteroid impact. Miracle of Fatima? Clouds in front of the sun? I bet it looked like this..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8-H3xlKU1gA |

I would say my post is far more on topic than your unjustified and unexplained flame. Or can you explain why the subjective aspect of reality isn't relevant to science? And does science encourage narrow minds? Mr. Defender of Science, prove your statement! And it's spelled hierarchy btw. s |

To act to prevent natural behavior in the market is the big mistake, that is fascism. Which is it? Is it nature taking its course, or is it rich people stealing from the rest of us? Is avoiding such things a good thing or fascist? But the latter 'contradiction' isn't really - I think you're saying that it would be fascist to prevent wild speculation from being punished, but good to prevent such an unbalance to build up. What would be nice would be for the market to reflect, directly, only real factors - so the price of grain would go up only if there was a bad harvest, never because of speculative investment. So that stock market panics never get in the way of employing people to do productive labor. And, yes, we *could* achieve that. Very simply. Outlaw borrowing money - except in small amounts for personal use until payday. That's really what brings this sort of thing about. 1) Because we need to build big armies to defend ourselves against other countries, we need big factories. 2) So laws were made - back when England and Holland were fighting each other over mastery of the seas - to make it possible for rich men to borrow money to build shipyards and the like... using the shipyard they are going to build as the bulk of the collateral. 3) So, if something happens, like peace breaking out, so that the value of the shipyard decreases... suddenly an *awful lot* of money has to be paid back to the bank in a big hurry. And people can buy stock, and be protected against the debts the companies they own run up, and they can even borrow money to buy stock. When you buy stock on borrowed money, you don't have much choice about selling if the price goes down. Trouble is, if there was no borrowed money in the system, then instead of having the factory now and paying for it later, they'd have to save up for the factory and then pay to have it built. So, at any given point in time, there would be fewer factories. We would all be poorer. Except, since the hands that can build the factory are there whether or not pieces of paper get borrowed, there indeed can be an alternative to having this kind of vulnerability to speculation as the price of using the available value in the economy.

Then they go hunting for some huge secret conspiracy on "their" part that kept them mundane...despite their innate brilliance and unequaled understanding of how the world "really" works. The Nazis understood that concept fully, and used it to the hilt when they got the SA up and running. Nowadays, it assures a large radio audiance for "Coast To Coast AM", as well as getting McCain supporters yelling at their own candidate for not being virulent enough in his attacks on Obama. Doesn't he understand the depths of the huge and sinister global plot that Obama is the front man for? Or is _McCain_ part of it too? Who can one trust?

Titeotwawki -- mha *[sci.space.policy 2008 Oct 12] Sorry Martha, it is your focus that is on the mundane...the silly issues that many Americans also focus upon. Nobody is even addressing the real base of the current problem. That is, the near total destruction of our national productivity base that has obscenely been allowed to take place gradually over the past 30 years. Lets go back to the basics. The national economy is the direct consequence of national productivity. Any book on economics will tell you that, but this very basic fact is being totally ignored. The reality is this: Without this productivity base the economy of any nation will decline to the point where it will approach the status of any other non-productive 3rd world country. What this means to the readers of sci.physics is simply that there will be no funding available for any optional activities, and what is available will be almost entirely devoted to the national defense and public welfare programs. Our national infrastructure will continue to decline, as no money will be available to maintain them. Our infrastructure will decline to a state of being patched together using duct tape, tie wraps, and chewing gum! Obviously, space exploration and fundamental research will go to the bottom of our national priority list. Gone unchecked, this route will continue until the US economy asymtopically approaches that of Japan and German at the end of World War II. and at that point one of two things will take place. You should be intelligent enough to figure out what these are. What troubles me more than the depletion of our national productivity base is the fact that no political candidate running for office has the intestional fortitude to directly address the real problem. or the mentality needed to suggest a proposed solution. It is in times like today that we need a man in charge like FDR or JFK who, knowing their own limitations, surrounded themselves with the best and brightest minds alive. I really don't see either Obama or McCane doing that, which is a serious problem for me. (I tend to lean towards McCane, simply because he is a man who likely knows his own limitations, and who is more likely to surround himself with informed experts...experts on subjects other than politics.) Now the fact is, whether I like it or not, it was General MacArthur who jump-started the recovery of Japan at the end of WWII. [I was never personally a big fan of MacArthur because I believed he tended to be a poser and typical politician driven by personal ambition, still I have to give him the full credit for leading Japan's post-war recovery/reconstruction.] Unfortunately, it's become time to jump start the US economy, and it will be painful for many, still sometimes a diseased limb requires amputation to save the life of its owner. Here are a few suggestions, with the first and most importent goal as the reconstruction of our productivity base. --- Place heavy restrictive tariffs on the importation of all foreign made products -- the tariff should be based on the difference between the labor cost differential between the country of product origin and that in the US. --- Totally prohibit the importation of steel, automotive, and heavy equipment and machinery --- Limit imports from each country to the value of US exports to that country --- Limit imported petroleum products to the level of that produced within the US --- Prohibit the exportation of US petroleum, with the exception of derived, finished products --- Prohibit the exportation of timber products harvested within the US, except finished products --- Fund the redevelopment of the US steel industry, shipyards, machine tool and heavy equipment producers --- Fund redeveopment of the US consumer electronics product industry --- Encourage oil and natural gas exploritory drilling, and reward new major finds with a bonus --- Ease current restrictions on open pit coal mining, but continue site restoration requirements --- Fund construction of new nuclear power generation facilities, and ease licensing restrictions --- Prohibit foreign ownership of US real estate --- Limit foreign investment in US corporations to a maximum of 20% --- Fund the development of small start-up firms to produce computers and other consumer electronics products --- Limit corporate ownership of farms based and impose a limit on total acres that can be owned or leased --- Provide loans for equipment improvement to individual farmers cultivating less than 500 acres Now that is a plan. You may like it or you may disagee. The problem that I have is that no political candidate has address the underlying issues of the current economic breakdown, nor offered any proposed solution. Lou Dobbs, where are you when we need you, since you seem to be the only person that seems to understand the problem? Harry C. |
