George W. Bush
Special Report: Super-Bug Stupidity
We
have all heard of the Super-Bugs, or drug resistant
germs, living in hospitals and other medical
facilities that have mutated or evolved to such a
point that our antibiotics are unable to control
their populations. The fizzled pandemic of swine,
or H1N1 flu was thought to be potentially a
Super-Bug virus that could devastate human
populations around the world.
There is so much to worry about in today’s world we really don’t have time to worry about these Super-Bugs germs unless we are in a medical facility where their threat is imminent. But if we broaden our perspective just a little we can use these Super-Bugs as a model, or an illustration, of what the social diseases that are infecting our world, creating the unfolding chaos we see virtually everywhere today.
Think for a moment about the American Congress as a Super-Bug. How about George W. Bush’s worldview as a Super-Bug, or Barack Obama’s Chicago political operations? If you ask their supporters without adding the complete context of what is really happening, they would probably say, “Cool we need more of that!”
Of course if everyone thinks what they believe, is far more Super-Bug than anyone else’s Super-Bug, you end up with chaos and the whole system collapses. This is the Cloward and Piven strategy that no one in the general population had heard of until Glenn Beck so kindly brought it to our attention. The real problem is however, you don’t need to be a Super-Bug to collapse the system, all you really need to do is to withhold the medicine and the epidemic will take care of itself. That is provided you have created the proper simple or monoculture environment.
The major strategic problem is not collapsing the system, but rebuilding a new economic, or human ecosystem on the ashes of the old. Super-Bugs don’t have the genetic code to pull it off. They can’t make it work in a natural world full of virtually unlimited human diversity. Of course we are not talking about true genetics, but really just environmental conditions, such as in a clean environment such as a hospital, a university, or a political body that allows this Super Bug intellectual cancer to exist in the first place.

The jobless times that vex the jobless soul

Welcome to jobless times that vex the jobless soul.
Welcome to the new decade of the early twenty-first century, where the future is based on hope. The hope that Christmas past will again invigorate Christmas present, or the hope that Christmas future cannot come too soon. Hope, hope everywhere and none of it changes reality, for we have no concept of reality, other than the future hopefully repeats or improves upon the past.
Japan has had a lost decade for the last couple, because their economy has developed permanent stagnation. So the country that just some twenty to thirty years ago was the business model for the world, now is just another economic player in a global community of lethargic materialism.
Europe for its part has done better than Japan, but it is sort of a unified Europe after all. But in the context of world economics, it seems that the proper concept is “Been there, done that, and got the shirt.” They seem however beginning to realize that loving one another, while better than war, still doesn’t necessarily make for a happy family.
Here in the United States we have recently made hope our God. Well if not really a god, hope in change seems to be a figment of perverse imagination, really creates nothing but more regulations, present deficits, and a future of higher taxes, coupled with either deflation or inflation.
The past is where we feel the most comfortable, so if we all hope together that past-future will evolve right before our eyes. Can I get a witness?

Change without direction
One score months ago
the voters of America brought forth a new
presidential administration on this continent. The
stated goal of the election was to issue in a new
age of change we can believe in. That presupposes
either one of two alternatives. At that time number
one was, we were having change we didn’t want to
believe in, or two we didn’t want any change from
our vision of what we were told was a future of
human engineered eternal prosperity.
It seems in the intervening period that all change has accelerated rapidly and those changes are beyond anything we can believe in and furthermore most of the stupendous changes are only exacerbating previous problems.
For as long as I can remember American presidents have turned out worse than my predilections. My worries about George W. Bush was that he would be beholden to what we have recently publicly defined as crony capitalists to the default of other values of not only governance but also personal responsibility. So I voted for the guy twice, my public reason was we share the same initials, but the secret reason was I thought that both Al Gore and John Kerry were truly without hope for being effective leaders. But most liberal juice drinkers don’t like any reality with their cocktail, so voicing the truth really wasn’t worth the return of stressful noise.
So my more than worst fears of George W. Bush turned out to be true. Those fears manifested themselves in the financial meltdown which began in late 2007 and continues to this day. Essentially what we saw under the Bush administration was the continuance of debt financed consumption based upon real estate. Those inflated values are still highly leveraged over the current wealth of most of the folks, but that is another topic for another time.
So those twenty months ago, Barack Obama was elected president. I didn’t vote for the man, not because I am a racist, but I thought he lacked experience to handle the tough job of being president. I wasn’t all that keen on John McCain either, especially during the campaign where it seemed that his goal was to be the Republican nominee rather than getting elected. Perhaps during the campaign McCain was able to get a glimpse of future trouble and decided either he was not up to the task, or was aware that current American problems are beyond the pale of human leadership. That surely was not something that Barack Obama would ever discern.

Redux Rendezvous I
26/May/2010 08:00 Filed in: Weekly
Column
In Monday’s,
“The Wealth Creation — Tax & Debt
Redistribution Continuum” we offered the
thesis that wealth creation was an inalienable
right given to humanity by the Creator. We, who
have been blessed to be immigrant citizens to these
shores, also have the benefit of a codified
structure for national development, outlined in the
Declaration of Independence and our Constitution.
For a broader context we also posted this article
under the blog tabs at Deep Woods
Moola and The Creation
Leadership Center.
As a founding right, given to us by God, wealth creation belongs to the individual in the literal sense. We proposed that not only was wealth creation an inalienable right it is also a fundamental right of all Americans. Upon further reflection, it is not really a stretch at all to state that the wealth creation right, is essentially the Absolute inalienable fundamental right of all Americans, for the concepts of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness all flow through this highest of all birthrights.
We further proposed that new wealth is basically an ex nihilo creation in the mind of an individual that combines the energetics of faith with the information of the enterprise to form a wealth seed. Through the introduction of equity liquidity, meaning a total commitment, not just debt involvement, this seed can sprout and become a viable product, service, profession, or vocation.
Taxes and debt can serve as means to grow the germinated seed, either directly or indirectly, but contrary to what has been promoted through a half century of a diseased American Federalism, debt and taxes can only redistribute present and future wealth through money, they cannot create fundamental new wealth.
This wealth creation reality is part of the general revelation of God in nature; hence its status as the Absolute inalienable right, but it is also part of the specific revelation the Bible. Monday we used the Apostle Paul’s constructs of Faith, Hope, and Charity, found in 1 Corinthians 13. In the legal definition of a corporation, since it is a creation of man’s laws, it does not live outside of the legal code; therefore it has no real life, no soul, or true creative ability, except what is given it, through legal precedent. Only a real person in the natural sense, can plant the wealth seed in faith, hoping for a growing wealth producing plant, relying only on charity of others should the opportunity fail.

Why Me? Trekking to Gomorrah
21/April/2010 12:06 Filed in: Weekly
Column
This week we bring you the final installment of
this series of, “Why Me? A Novel — Novel of
Historic Apprehension.” In keeping with the novel –
novel theme we have looked at some of the major
theses, or paradigms of historic western culture
and how many times it was the antitheses of these
original beliefs that brought about change,
sometimes stupendous change. And amazingly in this
historic context, much of this change can be
considered beneficial.
In closing this series, all of our readers, whether in the United States, or elsewhere in the world, recognize that the changes we are experiencing are what we describe as stupendous. In that light the concept of “change we can believe in” seems grossly simplistic if not truly oxymoronic. As a result we all sense an excitement, but at the same time an anticipation of apprehension that mankind has truly never past this way before, especially when that concept is enlarged, as we are asked to “think globally.”
The title to this chapter is an adaptation of the title of a book by Robert Bork entitled, “Slouching Towards Gomorrah: Modern Liberalism and the American Decline” first published in 1996. Bork was one of Ronald Reagan’s appointments to the Supreme Court, who never made it through the Senates conformation process, because he was vilified by his opponents as being an extremist. From that process came the invention of the term “borked,” which seems amazingly close to what is happening currently to the American people, by what is now being called “crony capitalists — media — politicians.”
Slouching is one of the most enlightening books I have ever read, and the title shows historically how we have pretty much through just passive neglect dumbed down the world in which we live, to the point that we will someday face destruction similar to the Biblical Gomorrah.
The divergence in the world today and the world over a decade ago, is that a slow slothful meander towards oblivion has been replaced with defined action, as if we just can no longer wait to get to Gomorrah, we have the city in our sights and together with all our baggage we are hell-bent to get there as soon as possible. In many ways Gomorrah has become our biblical replacement of the shining city on a hill, representing a New Jerusalem of many of America’s Christian founders.

2 Big 2 Work!
12/April/2010 08:48 Filed in: Special
Report | Week in
Review
The bellyachers are
giving me a headache. Well, actually they seem to
be more akin to a pain at the end of the alimentary
canal, but unless it is phrased in that way, it
becomes politically incorrect. Let me see if I have
got this straight? You have a beef with the fact
that you have to pay way too much income tax when
you and yours gross six figures a year and nearly
half of the American households pay nothing.
It is really too bad that your mortgage is upside down by about 50% and your 401k and the rest of your investments lost about the same, and you still are not back on track to retiring early, with only your four thousand square foot McMansion in the ‘burbs, and your two thousand square foot second home in the foreign paradise. You can cry me a river, but I really don’t care. Welcome to the real world.
Bah! Bah! Bah! You went to work everyday, did the best you could, never took any real risk and suddenly you were a millionaire. Well, at least you were a millionaire. Nobody ever called you a sheep, sheep can’t leverage a mid-level professional job, with really only bureaucratic skills, into a million bucks. Truly this was an absolute miracle, helped along with cheap credit, marketing, and educational propaganda. After all you are worth it, and you have the room full of seventh place trophies to prove it.
Suddenly the 2 BIG 2 work vultures from the government want you to pay what they call your fair share. It isn’t just the Feds, it’s the state, the county, and the city too. Even the home owners association wants more money to keep the water feature pumping. Just like me, they all don’t want to hear your story of an American Dream of a pampered upbringing turned into gentrified nausea. You had it all, peaches and cream, and now it is time to pay the dues.
Perhaps you didn’t DVR Alan Greenspan on C-Span last week when he said he thought he was doing the right thing during lllooonnnggg his term at the Fed, and now in hindsight there may have been just a few tweaks of the economy that might have led to a continuing-continuum of eternal prosperity. However now that this bubble burst and after ObamaCare has passed, old Alan has some fresh insights that we might not be able to pay for everything at the same time.
Maybe you should send him one of your seventh place trophies for a reward!
