Reply to Greenwald's Article "Inside the mind of James Clapper"

When this country became host to an institutionalized culture of rewarding liars, we lost the soul of our reason for becoming a nation. This fetid subversion emanates from Wall Street. Remember when Bush’s Secretary of the Treasury Paulsen went to Congress tearfully on bended knee? For what? To bail out and thereby reward rampant criminality. So, is it any wonder that this sort of mentality penetrates especially to our execrably vaunted “intelligence” bureaus?

Energy Throughput: an Inherent Universal Lawfulness

This important research reported on here leads us to draw once again on the work of Vernadsky and LaRouche. Biophysical energy density throughput is fixed by a limit of transmissibility. This limit holds for all life forms in the biosphere with the exception of humanity. Our uniquely noetic powers artificially increase this throughput with no limits excepting our current scientific development. Thus we have moved to ever more dense sources of fuel as we approach the advent of thermonuclear fusion and still even more energy dense matter anti-matter reactions in the not far off future. This is the realm of the noosphere.

The Soul of Scientific Progress is Irony

I commented lately on an article that presented the debate about how eucaryotes might have evolved only once from a merger of archaea and bacteria. Along these lines, the very principle of evolution as non random, nonlinear problem solving by biota via singularity at more efficiently capturing and utilizing available energy and elements hearkens back to Leibniz' principle of the least action pre-established harmony.

In other words, the Universe is so ordered or composed such that change or flux is invariant. However, there is a predisposition toward change that produces harmonic order. That particular quality is naturally attuned to human creative productions. For instance, the resolution of contrapuntal tension created via cross voicing in the fugues of J.S. Bach is the most unmediated emotional correlative of the higher harmony.

Why a Unified Field Theory Will Forever Fail

So long as a theory of everything is limited in scope to only address the inorganic realm it is a contradiction in terms. For what can account for the passion of humanity that is immanent to the pursuit of happiness? Indeed, we know that our sun will expire in due course in the foreseeable  future. So the pathway to achieving the solution to our specie's continued survival past that eventuality is embedded in the very essence of physical space time. To refute this truth is a fool's errand. Unfortunately there are all too many such among us of late.

Comment on Chris Christie's Culpability

So, there is an uproar about a Chris Christie political dirty trick that cost the life a a 92 year old? Evil as these actions were, what could we expect from the man being touted as the sharp tongued "tell it like it is" purveyor of austerity, Chris Christie? The bailout of illegitimate Wall Street gambling debt instruments through leveling killer austerity against the weakest of our citizenry is the road map. This is why the talking head bloviators were so morose on MSNBC's Morning Joe this morning. They are losing their knight in shining armor who was supposed to make cutting the elderly off food stamps wholesome good fun.

Money per se is a political fiction by definition.

Money per se is a political fiction by definition. That which sustains a nation's population is physical production, energy, infrastructure and technological advancement in these categories. A sane policy will seek to have a banking system that fosters rapid growth of these sectors. This is precisely what the genius of Alexander Hamilton accomplished upon the retirement of the USA revolutionary war debt. Today we have thrown this principal away by having a banking system that is beholden to a criminal speculative looting of these very same sectors. The repeal of Glass Steagall was the final nail in the coffin that delivered our economy to the "too big to jail" financiers' diabolical machinations.As Jacques Attali, the permanent Presidential adviser in France recently noted " the only difference between Madoff and the Western governments is that Madoff is in jail."

Comment upon Evolution

The attempt to define evolution as a directed and causal series of inheritance of traits, points at a larger issue that unfortunately hampers progress in science itself. That issue is the zealous quasi-religious adherence to a doctrine of stochastic probability. This is really a question of ontology that has played out over at least several millenia. When Heraclitus ironically cited change as the only constant substance of reality, this was succinctly brought into human consciousness. Einstein's quip that God doesn't shoot pool was of a piece. Leibniz' critique of Newton's dead clock winding ontology in his debate with Clarke, likewise. A vision of a mission that directs scientific inquiry must govern how we proceed. Such is the eradication of disease, the establishment of a defense in space against future impacts from comets and asteroids, and finally evolving an energy regime of controlled thermonuclear fusion. One must start from the standpoint of necessary human evolution.

Reflection on the Sad Mental Collapse of America

When the world is facing a brutal austerity regime brought about by deregulation financial houses gambling on exotic securities and their vaunted geopoliticians lighting fuses around the globe that could spiral out of control toward a miscalculation and wind up with thermonuclear annihilation, tribal politics either of the left wing or right wing variety that addresses neither of theses threats is a pure and simple sign of the regrettable collapse of the United States -- a once outstanding beacon for freedom on this planet.

The Ugly and Perilous Mental Collapse of Barack Obama

This question for posterity (if there be any rational posterity worth speaking of): Why is it the case that the handlers of Obama desire to have a backdrop of adoring fans (which word by the way is shorthand for fanatics) vacuously smiling and nodding during his ubiquitous pep rallies? If, in your minds eye, you now place a montage of those images where Obama buoyantly bounces up the steps of the stage surrounded by these adoring made for television fans with his performance in his Waterloolike gaunt faced humiliating press conference where he intoned that "it's on me" that Obamacare is a wretched failure, what is your take away?

Isn't the answer that such handlers, leaving "The One" aside for the moment, had no idea on this good earth of how they would orchestrate a retreat for the great impostor? Which is to say that they were all drinking the same kool-aid that blinded them to realize what a self centered egomaniac said pretender truly is. What sort of euphoric state of mind, whether it literally be drug induced or not, could possibly be so arrogantly impervious to the reality that they were fronting for an odious and execrable piece of legislation?

All of which is a roundabout way of saying that when you sell your soul to Wall Street and pretend the opposite there just might be consequences. If we as a nation wish to regain any collective sanity we will forthwith "throw the bum out." The 25th Amendment regarding the medical incompetency of a President would amply suit the purpose.

Update: It now seems that even O's human props are starting to turn on him. What is a vainglorious bought and paid for nonentity to do? Resign? Curses! Foiled again...

On the End of the Leviathan Panopticon Insanity

Though I heartily applaud the efforts of Snowden & Greenwald in kicking against the proverbial pricks, it must be admitted that theirs is a rear guard action. For, the need for unobservable communications exists for only so long as humankind finds itself combating the death grip of an evil oligarchical ideology. Benjamin Franklin's principle of creating a society to do the good resulted in his gift of the lighting rod to humanity. If we are yet able to throw off the yoke of mutually assured destruction and enter into an era of our true mission and purpose, the need for secrecy will fade into a dim history of brutish and wholly unnecessary and destructive infancy of our species. We were indeed made for something better.

Blowing Smoke While the World Burns

This is entirely a straw man argument here. The issue always has been and remains the ideological, economic and political control over society by an oligarchic elite, whether it be the pater familias of the Roman Empire's pantheon or the families behind today's City of London/Wall Street criminals and their infotainment media bread and circuses. (See the disgusting spectacle of servile slavering in the media over the royal baby, for example.)This is precisely why the revival FDR's principled return to what Henry Carey described as the American system (see Alexander Hamilton's successful National Bank in paying off the war debt and Lincoln's greenback infrastructure development)as opposed to the British Empire's evil looting system is overdue. This means first and foremost allowing an orderly bankruptcy of the lunatic derivative speculators by reinstating Glass-Steagall. Next it means international cooperation in generating credit for building vast new systems of transport, water and power infrastructure in order to uplift the worldwide standard of living. Thus ending the evil geopolitical nightmare of unending proxy wars immediately initiated under the rubric of cold war by that talentless toady of the City of London and Wall Street, Harry Truman upon the death of FDR. ((Which reportedly Oliver Stone is about to blow apart the fawning mythology of give 'em hell (as in the unnecessary atomic bombs he dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki on orders from the lunatic geopoliticians like the Dulleses) Harry.))

Anything which doesn't address this reality is just so much blowing smoke.

Raphael's "Secrets" Revealed

This painting, like many of Rembrandt's, for example, is a Socratic dialogue. While Aristotelians and Romantics profess that music derives from titillation of the senses, Raphael like the Augustinans in the orbit of Nicholas of Cusa rightly understood that truly human music is the essence of an unheard dialogue of ongoing and continuous loving composition of unfolding potential harmonic Creation. So, like Poe's purloined letter, the secret of this drama is hidden in plain sight, but too many have eyes but cannot see.

Why "Experts" are Mostly Fools: A Case Study

So much empty prattle here that completely avoids the issue of thermonuclear fusion. The federal reserve is currently expending 85 billion dollars per month to bail out downright criminal speculators on Wall Street. What do you think would happen if that was the budget for fusion research? We would not be engaged in this endless ludicrous bloviating over "renewable energy" because we would have a virtually inexhaustible supply not only of electrical power but also high temperature plasma technologies which would have revolutionized the manufacturing base. For example, water desalination and a plasma furnace (MHD or Magnetohydrodynamics) which could cheaply reduce any given ore to its elemental constituents thereby giving the lie to limited resources. The concept of fusion propulsion would also revolutionize space exploration and defense against comet impacts. So, unless you are working toward a future with fusion you are less than serious.

Shockwaves and Singularities: the Moral

The recent wonderfully designed experiment that showed how amino acids are produced from the shockwave impact of meteor collisions is in keeping with what I have posed within these pages many times over. To wit: starting from Bernhard Riemann's elegant and seminal description of  propagation of pressure or sonic shockwaves over a century and a half ago, the principle of a non linear phase change singularity that operates upon a medium of transmission was hypothesized. That very principle precisely applies in this case. The fact that the potential transition from the inorganic should take this form is quite lawful.

The analogous singularity for humanity is not the ridiculous adolescent science fiction touted as the melding of mechanical devices and humans. Rather, it is the necessary end to the principle of arbitrary control by an evil oligarchy whose rule is based upon the assent of their victims to the governing blatant falsehood that men are mere talking animals.

George Washington's Farewell Address, the NSA and Israel

The recent explosive revelations that the US National Security Agency has been committing treason against our constitution by the wholesale turnover of raw intelligence of American citizens' private communications to the state of Israel should provoke the thinking portion of that same citizenry to take this rogue putative security apparatus down. To understand the full significance of this situation, we need to revisit the threats to our fledgling republic at the time of its very founding.

The principles of the victorious American revolution had naturally inspired a universal admiration among nations. The intelligence services of Great Britain recognized that this was a mortal threat to their far flung empire. The tack that the nascent East Indies Company which constituted the financial center of that empire decided upon to combat this existential threat was to nurture false irrational radical uprisings in order to quash the truly republican spirit. Thus the French revolution aimed at chaos to prevent an orderly transition to a constitutional republic fostered by the supporters of Marquis de LaFayette.

The full story of the struggle of Alexander Hamilton against Thomas Jefferson and Jefferson's Vice President Aaron Burr is part and parcel of this British strategy. (The same Burr that Jefferson sumptuously feted in Washington after he had assassinated Hamilton.) Hamilton founded a manumission society to free the slaves. Jefferson on the other hand actively promoted expanding slave labor when he set up a very evil system of manufacturing nails by working and breaking extremely young slave boys on his Monticello property. At the same time Jefferson propagandized for the so called freedom of the Jacobin lunatics that fomented the French revolution against LaFayette's forces. This bloody form of "democracy" was used to take down Hamilton's economic reforms that were aimed at breaking the monopoly of trade and promoting Franklin's vision of useful scientific progress to increase the standard of living here.

This is the reason that George Washington's farewell address, largely drafted by Hamilton, warned against foreign entanglements. The United States must not be drawn into a trap that would ensnare us into backing up an irrational uprising of anarchist puppets in France. The financial interests of the British/Dutch empire was to use the tactic of divide and conquer by setting off agent provocateurs in targeted nations time and again to this very day. Their current game in the Middle East is to embroil the region in unending proxy Sunni/Shia warfare, switching sides as they see fit. To them, Israel is merely an instrument of this useful turmoil that allows their assets like the medieval Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to subsist.

It is in this geopolitical cauldron that contrary to Washington's warning we have entangled ourselves, acting the part of the "dumb American giant." It is high time that we stop being gullible patsies. I think the vast majority of our population would agree, especially if they know then full extent of how we are being played.

So, once again, it is in this larger context that I must commend the patriotic impulses of those like Snowden and Greenwald who would expose the treason of the NSA at the expense of their own personal well being.

The British Saudi Cesspool

From a Wall St Journal article's response from readers:

Vapid: "It's the Israelis and the defense contractors who are calling the shots."

VirginiaJeff: "Sorry to disrupt your meme, but the Saudis have far more to do with pushing this than the Israelis."


Indeed. Except to be more precise it is the Anglo Saudi nexus that centers in the BAE al-Yamamah cover-up that the British government is openly protecting on the pretext of bogus official secrets act cum national security. Likewise the financial support by the despicable Saudi royals for the 9/11 hijackers has been an open secret for anyone willing to look. These are our quaint and oh so honorable oil rich allies who do legally what Ariel Castro is hopefully currently roasting in hell for.

A Hope and a Prayer

The overwhelming stench emanating from the swampy environs of the Ivy League's professional lifetime politicians like Kerry and Obama amounts to proof for all who wish to see that these dishonorable ne'er-do-wells are once again maliciously attempting to lie this country into yet another jolly little quagmire war for geopolitical reasons. If they came right out and said "Look. We need this war to keep our friends happy and to show our enemies we are tough, so we are just going in to Syria on the first pretext we can muster...Period." At least then they would believed by the American people. But they and their class are habitually ingrained liars right down to their very political souless masks they put on each and every day. Their current problem was aptly illustrated by Abe Lincoln: "You can't fool all of the people all of the time." So good luck Kerry and Obama as you pass into the bowels of your own private mental hells in the not too distant future. My hope and prayer is that your ilk is not able yet once again to drag the nation with you. Amen.

As If Seeing Out of the Corner of One's Eye

Augustine had a collaborator in fashioning the Christian revolt who struggled mightily to give up enjoying the vicarious worse than beastlike spectacle of the Roman coliseum. I heard a media strategist on one of Obama's infotainment sycophantic networks unblinkingly say yesterday jokingly off the cuff, of course, that the One must not appeal to the American people on bombing Syria on Monday night. Why? Because he would never be forgiven for interrupting football.

Now we have \the rather rampant curious phenomena of how popular passions are molded by the ubiquitous 'crowd sourced" video. You can learn quite a lot from not being a mere hapless subject (in the imperial "we" sense of the word subject, you understand) of such blatant behavioral manipulation. Why would it be that among the subjects that grip ones psyche with a bestial ferocity at the moment we have stories of zombies and vampires?

Could the fact that our lunatic financial obsession with gambling as a popular sign of prosperity has molded our labile consciousness (or rather lack thereof) thusly? Our recycled workforce being driven zombielike into dead end mind numbing menial service work. (See the popular literary fascination with Victorian schema of knowing ones place, e.g. Downton Abby, etc.) What has become of the once proud productive ensemble of skilled machinists able to put food on the table? Oh. See the ugly squalor known as Detroit. These lusty fellows have been somehow soothed into infantile submission to their own demise like the fabled frog simmering in the slowly rising heat of the frying pan 'til too late. Ah yes, then there are the teenage fascination with vampires. I wonder why? Wall Street fantasia anyone?

Now we have a much more powerful Panopticon apparatus in the outed NSA than the SS, Stasi (or Jeremy Bentham) could ever have imagined. The latest bombshell outrage is their newly exposed methods for skirting that old fashioned outdated document, the Constitution (still in the customary capitals you will notice.)  So they go about hiring the best and brightest hackers and swear them to a sort of modern Masonic blood oath of secrecy (curses on that traitor Snowden!) in order to use their "expertise" in evading what is amusingly called by the computer geeks (or perhaps I should have said zombies) the "secure" sockets layer. Now in the end just why must the NSA in order to protect us act in a fashion worse than the so called "bad guys" that our Ivy league commentators like to explain in pabulum-speak to the deluded sodden crowd. Who exactly are the  criminals these days? One needs a program it would seem.

And so, the unalterable way of the world, we are assured by these ever so serious unsought protectors )policemen) of the global norms, is a bestial descent into the hellish intervention of tribal irrational "religious war." Where the people have no vision...do not interrupt their Monday night coliseum. Eh tu Obama?

Why the Unspoken Fear Makes Us Cowardly Turn from Truth

The unspoken consent in the cover-up of the assassination of John F. Kennedy was a sort of a test of whether America would carry through what Roosevelt promised Churchill at the dawn of the end of imperial empires. In the words of his son Elliott, FDR made it clear that the US would no longer tolerate colonial methods governing the globe. And yet, exactly what Churchill represented was drop by drop imposed upon the complicit psyche of our citizenry as they attempted to flee from taking up the mantle of that very mission FDR represented.

It was a sort of promissory note to end the rule of the principle of a wanton subjugation of humanity that is forever present in gestation all throughout history. And it makes no difference whether that be consciously acknowledged among our people. It is of a more substantial force in their lives than the disconnected momentary passions that occupy them. Therefore, it is the turning away from that great task that has led us into the unprincipled lies that now threaten to destroy us.

Yes, our descending was stage managed at every step downward along the way. The first blow was the pact with evil we accepted as necessary when Truman okayed the indiscriminate wholesale slaughter of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. How eerily hollow were the celebrations of that sequel of that outrage that we had so committed. In hushed tones we tried to salve our conscience that we had no choice. We had as a nation defiled the promise that just months before was made to Churchill by the standard bearer of that great necessary mission that our Constitution became the vessel for.
