If one is reflecting upon the year and recent times this Holiday season, they may breathe a sigh of relief that once again, Providence has gotten them through yet another huge round of foreclosures, layoffs, closures, and so on.

Per a recent Chinese newspaper account, the Chinese government says it’s not investing in the USA, and that most countries on earth won’t be either…not because of LBGT treatment, health care, global warming, religion, racism, nationalism(s), and the slew of wedge issues, just because global governments have no money and don’t care (http://www.shanghaidaily.com/article/print.asp?id=423054 ).

In the USA, it’s said that unemployment will expand to pay China et al, but the relevant story says not much about China being concerned about or expecting or receiving returns anyway.

In these times, it’s worth remembering that the needy, foreclosed, jobless, and people on any kind of benefits always “know what they’re doing, and are irresponsible”. Something to think about, as all 2010 election and media wedge baloney will take place against he financial picture China just painted.

There’s a philosophy beginning to take root in some global political realms such that many officials are, although never before thought so in their lives or those of their forebears, as or in the nature of new life forms…much as homo habilis (wherever distributed with whatever looks)was superior to cro magnon, homo sapiens (wherever distributed with whatever looks)was superior to homo habilis, it appears that we have a new human species in our midst, one which doesn’t claim to Godhood yet is in every way superior in mind to most people while continuing to otherwise appear the same as others…this new species is homo officialianis.

According to the latest emerging modernist doctrine, this new human creature is part of a global upgrade in evolution; in fact, some, as actor Wil Smith recently noted, receive Nobel Prizes for work done in recognizing their efforts on behalf of their “breed apart” yet noble stewardship of less fortunate creatures; this new breed of human is so new it goes only by the name “flashpoints of human evolution”.

Through tight reigning of monocultural global populations, these “flashpointers”…being of a higher mental evolution than all other talking monkeys…rightly leave in the dust all law, traditions, systems of knowledge, commerce, you name it, where same are rooted in “the best the minds of lesser evolutionary value could contrive”. To them, God (let alone diverse spiritualities in response thereto) is a hoodoo, something the smaller-brained types (including, e.g., Bing Crosby, William F. Buckley Jr., William P. Clark, Thomas Jefferson, Martin Luther King, Gandhi, the Dalai Lama, founders of Yale and Harvard) clung to as a mere device of political differences of opinion, as if to elevate themselves as man-gods over other talking monkeys like Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, you get the picture; also, religion being but just one sign of “retrograde” intellect, many tiny-brains used to think they could survive Depressions together, and yet individually have dignity, worth, and almost limited capability to invent, dream, and achieve healthy international relationships…in the old days BFE, what COULD all-equal talking monkeys do but presume some God or whatever was over them, they being the highest form of life on earth, and respect each other as best they could?

With the advent of “flashpointers”, from China to the USA to Canada to Latin America and literally everywhere, no more talk of Calvinist ‘separation of wheat and chaff’ or Raptures or Fourth Reichs or re-institutions of royalty; if a “flashpointer” is a new and irrevocable next stepper in human evolution, obviously anyone not regarded by “flashpointers”, their media, or necessary private/public epigone as “evolved” must by such standard be deemed sub-human…see, only new models survived in the ancient past, right? So naturally, global “flashpointers” know best how to make it seem this or that “spiritual superstition”, LBGT community, racial group, Ladenists, or otherwise needs to be warehoused with situational treatments then no better than any other sub-humans receive(and “throwback reproduction” limited), as the mass of now-sub-humans  breathe their last making way for evolutionary progress.

Now, “flashpointers” have no idea where the first-of-first universes came from; goodness, they can’t even produce jobs or balance a budget, and many (not all) were formerly (?) the most party-animal, duty-shirking creampuff punks there ever were (though “egotism” is common to them). To be fair, everyone from Barack Obama to Hu Jintao to Vladimir Putin to Chavez to Lula and so on seems content not to claim THEMSELVES as “flashpoints of human evolution”, at best, if at all, letting such talk OF them fly without direct denials; too, maybe it’s coincidence that only “flashpointers” and those they hold tight reign on or bail out in ever-worsening economies are the only ones who can be aware of themselves, and ala apostolic succession theory pass that on in dubbing (from the vast pool of retrogrades)who should not be called sub-human and allowed to play with the New Breed…unless “distemper” is discovered later and some brutes one day are no longer warm and fuzzy.        

Only those believing in current ongoing human mental-only “flashpoints of evolution” can explain in depth how this separates them from all other life and its history, or why they express no greater knowledge than anyone has done over and over…and without miracles and such to boot. Heavens, no official or admirer thereof on earth has yet figured out how to make one tiny drop of new water…we’re STILL using the same water here for eons, and if “we dummies” could build nukes and go to space, why can’t the new ubermenschen wave greater wands than ours? 

The here foregoing is not a religious reaction nor is of essence political; it is philosophical counterpoint in rebuttal to an existentialist, Ayn Rand/Adolf Hitler form of eugenics propaganda that ANY person or official on earth could embrace or reject.

Myself, I remain happy knowing my own alleged “advanced intellect” is utterly useless…nonquam…if I use it only for myself/epigone, and will earn me bitter judgment of God if I don’t try to use my gifts in building up ALL souls on the globe in positive, civil, traditional human ways…and encouraging our fellowship in such pursuits.

I hope this makes clear what I mean to all people of every stripe when I continue to say and wish from the essence of my soul: “Merry Christmas! Peace And Goodwill To All!”

Josef Goebbels, besides being a dude who sat even 98% of the National Socialist and other parties on their ears, was originally a student of romantic (including mythic) literature; he received a PhD from Berlin University in 1921.

Goebbels said that propaganda does not have to be intelligent, it just has to succeed; he otherwise knew propaganda to be that which facilitates the triumph of personal leaders’ will.

By “not intelligent”, sure, thugs with rubber hoses on posters saying “do it or else” would be propaganda; but most usually, unintelligent propaganda means that stagecraft/cinema/media event which is either grounded in no evidence that should be there (opinions only made), or ignores data which tends to negative what the pomp and circumstance/talking head opinions blurt about.

A rhetorical example: say a State, the SWAs of which are part of a Federal unemployment system, aks its regulated professions to make outrageous enticements to pull in people (formerly with good wages, but now in foreclosure, stamps, etc) on UI extensions with no real experience; next, say regulators know a charade of completing necessary initial licensing/registration forms and ephemera will be included but nobody will have employers submit (contrary to apparent law); then, say as “newbs” such new hires are run ragged or otherwise made to leave the new jobs; next, maybe many such employers don’t pay for training “made pursuant to law” on applications they know they won’t submit, nor pay for first work done; last, say the State’s SWA ends UI for all such people as they”quit”, otherwise refuses to pursue wage claims for them, and regulated agencies back up that mindnumbingly even by the tons no such people “did regulated work” so no ticks to employers; now say as a result UI claim figures go down, and some official(s)prance around saying how messianic they must be just to have a low figure and be thus improving lives, “need we say more?”. This example would be “unintelligent”, as the officials’ claims would be based on an absence and further contradiction of certain facts.

Remember how this Spring Congress “had” to ever-after bailout Hollywood, inter alia, so any amount they claim (especially for movies fitting government political agendas) moviegoers spent will at least LOOK plausible? Unless there’s a reason(s) they were so bankrupt they needed FedCash, which they STILL get despite claim today of “record profit year”.

Then there’s the other “permanently bailed”, broadcast and print media. They’re the ones who disbelieve anyone could be interested in anything they don’t report, or needs to have specifics to back up claims. Such media usually tell us there’s no global monoculture…the USA President du jour is very popular with foreign (e.g., Norwegian European Union types) officials who tell their people they need to emulate the USA economy/rights protocols, while our President tells us we need less rights, central Fed control of all life, less commerce, even more houses, less citizen input (only “spam” questions them, right?), and so on as “appeasement” to foreign officials to keep our officials popular with them…and in letting officials alone reaping “bounty” after “bounty” ourselves like we ALWAYS do “but for racism” and other gender/ethnicity/familial abuse polemic rodomontades. Just ask Dr. Phil how crazy you are to ask questions, think “monoculture”, or wonder why Obama and pals never walk their own nations’ streets to “prove” turnout popularity with what some term mere commoners, sub humanity, and surplusage.

This pretty much leaves us with media which only reports on what makes officials look good, or to inveigh across broad psychological swaths against critics when the masters they’re lap dogs to get peevish, paranoid or irked.

Consider today’s “USA Today” front page story “Mixing Their Religions”. It represents an attack on the Catholic Church on circular logic that because many superstitious and non-Christian spiritualities exist in opposition to or unconcern with Catholicism, Catholicism is both dying and offensive and “should see the writing on the wall” (or at least have its members be thought of as superstitious).

Three attacks on Catholicism (and thus Christianity) are therein made:

1.       Inveigh that longtime Catholics of every stripe are against anybody not spiritual as they are, hoping to keep folks away from Church and invite animosity to Catholics (even Obama’s staff said they’d call Priests gay who oppose them);

2.       Inveigh that people of other spirituality do not give up their beliefs when “pretending” to be converted to Catholicism, so even bin Laden (on Obama-Pakistan cash?) or other folks the already socially phobic fear might be Catholics (another stay-away cloy); and

3.       The entire Roman Catholic Church and the Gospels it’s founded upon are superstitions, so any Christian is a mindless boob puppeteered by the Pope or even Protestant clergy in mere political opposition to all-powerful officials and personal comforts they seek.

In sum, as a cat’s paw to raw power, all “USA Today” did through its story is reflect Communist China’s policy of government installing Catholic clergy/bishops of its own, calling ANY other spirituality other than government’s “superstition” and political, and being upset so many worldwide continue to convert to Vatican theology.

As a Christmas present for the personal comforts of every USA official, USA Today was just helping Obama et al stay immensely popular with foreign leaders emulating each other on what “properly” is and isn’t spirituality…then setting spiritualities against each other, or attempting to de-energize Christians, or both.

This is why, on International Human Rights Day, I laugh at yet pray for USA Today, and wish dignity, peace, fellowship, and the blessings of God to ALL people of goodwill on earth. Other  than that, I remain as much as a "mindless boob" as Roman Catholics such as William F. Buckley, Jr. and Bing Crosby.

One of the things we keep hearing even into this Holiday season is how President Obama represents the USA has a long history it must atone for abroad, globally, and now ol’ Republiservative in the spirit of global monoculturalists offers for free links to politically corrected great hymns of other nations’ past, hymns which lost face due to assorted world faiths, democracies, and especially the meanie USA:

“The Red October Hymn” as Lev Trotsky swooned over!  (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnpEgAYrzGM&feature=PlayList&p=1F263438A86EDF01&playnext=1&playnext_from=PL&index=4 )

Remember that German funster of 1934-1945, who was billed as a messianic leader leading a religiously elite SchutzStaffeln in ridding earth of all subhumans? Well,  let’s apologize for USA and all prior earth’s good people who shouldn’t have bothered the nice dude, and listen to his Nummer Eins Hit…

“Deutschland Uber Alles” (Complete with reminder footage of His Fuehrerness and “clerics!)

( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEdoLKknCi0 )

Who can forget the similar style anthem of Iran as zany funnyman and Imam/Jurist replacer MyMood Alibabjihad sits on folks, just like ol’ Dolf did, making Iran as fun for Iranians and earth as Dolf did for Germans and the world, while crooning….

(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFGL7gI9u_E&feature=related )

And to wrap it up, let’s listen to that democracy-oppressed China, whose only hymn other than this is that anything they don’t tell their folks and earth is anti-government superstition:

( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FQFEDdaG64o )

This Holiday Season, as if most people had social phobia (http://www.socialphobia.org/whatis.html )and would rather go to a movie than talk to a passerby, work, or go to a house of worship, let’s consider what getting behind Obama’s call for atonement and joining in could mean for global prosperity.

President Obama has this year represented that his critics should just shut up and let things lie and expand as they are; you know, he may be right!

Yes, there are a slew of critics ranging from his own party to secular to religious objectors, but does anybody notice that they’re all running out of money, as those they claim support them (at least in petitioning or opinion polling style) also run out of cash, credit, and aid? Most importantly, does anyone notice that most people just want whatever degree of consumerism is meted to them until it’s “their time”, without thought of or to anyone else and without real expectation the New Culture will change or fail to touch them? So it goes in Illinois, Tennessee, Oregon, Idaho, name it.  

It’s as if most USA folks of every origin collectively say: “Yep, it’s global totalism now, what from money to anything else is out there FOR us to do besides peck at each other, watch sports, and go to movies until it’s our turn to go? They’ve taken global rights, personal economic control, creative aspirations, property upon which to build or retain houses of worship (indicating a non-existent, dead or weakling Creator) and need for ambition or even exercise away from most of us…even foreign dictators have always needed someone to dictate TO, let’s stick with the statism, the sports/celebrity/talk radio fan as the only group dynamics left to us, and maybe they’ll take more people ahead instead of us…yeah, it’s crummy to be a kept State hamster if a pollster asks but really, do most of us even seem capable of taking time away from our sports, movies and managed consumerism except for ‘tea bag moments’ and election year blogging?”.

If that or something close to it IS the reality of the majority population, then President Barack Hussein Obama is absolutely correct that most people don’t WANT to be educated, work, create businesses, get married or care who is, otherwise be equity parts of society, or have liberties protected…in such case, don’t blame atheists, Hu Jintao, Osama bin Laden, Democrats, Republicans, Putin, Satan, God, whoever; in a democratic Republic, where the majority of people do not care what needs to be done even to them or their children to permanently simply exist (and no more), and have a pattern of being self-absorbed armchair quarterbacks letting everyone else fix everything even back in “better times”, then even if critics of the government make scholastically lucid, legally sound, and generally accurate gainsays or constructive alternative plans these are NOT things the majority public wants…and though it’s extreme to label critics generally as DHS report fodder, still, critics need to see Obama IS giving the mass population what it wants as it manifestly partakes of handouts with minimal grousing, sort of the way one feeds a cat and might get hissed anyway yet the cat submissively returns for more.

Indeed, it appears Obama critics need to face the reality that they ARE “revolutionary” in nature, where they transcend ministering to shrinking numbers at all interested in hearing about peaceful alternative life philosophies or religious living; Obama critics need to accept that most people today would rather re-arrange their aimless day to see the OSU Ducks vs. U of O Beavers “civil war” football game than help or even talk to a stranger, or than picket the State capitol for jobs 24/7/365 (in a State with massive unemployment, more coming). Now THAT’s putting the body where the soul truly is, all such gamesters’ faint mewing notwithstanding as they freely act in the nature of trotting next to their keepers hoping for more scraps…Trent Lott’s book title was too limited, as it seems “Herding Cats” is not just for the Senate Leadership anymore.

Wherefore, the spirit of Jesus through Gandhi through Dr. King is manifestly kaput in today’s USA, and thus it might be nice if PACs and Churches/Similar limit talking to their own choirs…we must stop the “concept revolution” against ideologies the manifest USA population wishes to tolerate. To keep face with the Hegelian notion that ANY system (including secular) which does not admit of unbelief is a mere convenience, I would respectfully submit that hermeneutic peaceful religions and ministers respecting the USA State as giving the majority population what it wants (including LBGT marriage, less labor, CCA and other imprisonment for distempers, military escalations, aid to Ladenist nations, abortion, and actual or perceived moral relativity) should not be included as being “false religious” or barred from assembly/expression due to their own opposite views, and that their admittedly minority actual adherents be able to object and withhold their service(s) on conscience grounds where enough secular or other parties in simpatico with the majority are easily available.

Folks, those of us who want to resist intellectual or ethically rhetorical “evil” today can do it but one way, if you’ll take a sober look at reality: if you see it, don’t do it yourselves; if you give money to a PAC or Church, expect it will sustain the choir alone at best; if you’re going to “make” an unbeliever(s) hear you, no matter how “compelling”, even Thomas Aquinas would tell you harming unbelievers is against the will of Jesus and God (“Summa Theologica”, Volume Two, Part Two, Question 10, Articles 1 through 12) unless they force themselves upon you in your physical person (actual personal attack, only force enough to stop it kosher)…and secularly, even I would detain the true armed, egocentric and dangerous.

After all, in this economy at a time of sluggish Christmas sales and rising domestic abuse, who packs in more of those attendees and viewers: Lou Dobbs, the RNC/DNC, some union, any nature of any faith’s Church/Mosque/Temple/House of Worship, or Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon for the OSU v. U of O “civil war” game? (Hint: Statewide here today, ala those 1936 Mercedes touring cars back in Germany’s Dolf Days, all you see are fender flags for either the Oregon State or University of Oregon football teams.) Fans, if you feel a bit the same the next morning, please don’t vent on others or officials; and again, even I would detain the socially lazy, egocentric and dangerous.

Within most major faiths, capital punishment has been not uncommonly tolerated if sometimes applied capriciously and unpredictably.

In the historical Hindu Code of Manu (a god of black hue and red eyes), capital punishment was frequently applied per type of offense, even trifles, and could be: impalement on a stake, trampling by an elephant, burning, roasting, being cut to pieces, being devoured by dogs, or undergoing mutilations.

Old Hebrew law afforded death by stoning but in many instances also slaying with sword, spear, or dagger per mere expediency or choice of the executioner. The thought here was although Genesis said God expelled a killer, but would be sevenfold harsher to one taking vengeance against a killer, as long as it wasn’t vigilantism outside official venues capital punishment could be kosher.

In traditional Muhammadan canon (such as Laden-slacking Pakistan's State-run Islam dictates), one could lose body parts for an array of offenses, but even where fathers killed their sons, about the only capital punishment would be for apostasy from Islam (including Pakistani government policy) or to leave your own other faith for anything but Islam; also, though against Allah to kill innocent non-believers, such canon says not the slightest vengeance can be had unless another Muslim had promised protection of an unbeliever’s life.

Martin Luther in “Plass”, and even Pope John Paul II in encyclicals, stressed up to lethal force if needed could be used where one is attacked through no fault of their own (Luther excluded resistance only if in a Church; Catechism of the Catholic Church articles 2265, 2266 approve State use of armed forces and death penalty on stipulation); these leaders reasoned that without respect for one’s own humble human dignity re self-defending, one cannot respect dignity of others.

I myself feel it wouldn’t be for the interests of humanity that well-conducted and useful members of the community or world should be more exposed to deprivation of life by murder in order that the lives of murderers may be spared. But there should be dignity even for defendants taken into any nation’s or State’s custody.

Whereas common law (or “natural law” or “religious canon”) seems excellent for achieving the chancery purposes in commercial and civil law, universal criminal codes requiring charge limit (AND charging no matter “who offered who protection”)to overtly excessive physical action(s) against the body(ies) of another(s), affording real representation to defendants, providing humane execution, and according a well-formed appeals process seem best for avoiding excessive or egregious use of lex talionis and for exercising what universally is conceived as human rights of detainees in cases of capital punishment…without derogation to the essence of any peaceful faith or peaceful philosophy of unbelief.

In many halls of learning these days, it is taught that political theory of our age “requires” that candidates maintain control of “their” campaigns (to be YOUR representatives) via artificial or secondary or lesser issues vaunted as complete and exclusive proposed packages; one hears it’s coincidental when, ala CNN’s Lou Dobbs over time, reports of USA no-trail voting casting pre-programmed outcomes are proven but almost always conceded to by losers (especially in primaries where substantial prospects for nominees and often having massive opinion poll approvals ALWAYS get stomped by airy types succeeding themselves).

When that theory of issue selection by candidates-turned-officeholders becomes part of policy in any jurisdiction, obviously one sees how then such officials see the slightest whiff of interest in ANY other topic(s) betokens upset or “brutish self-interest” over public policy, thus such officials declare that since bin Laden hates policies (as well as everything under the sun) parallel inference says anyone not holding their tongues is “of interest”.

Ask any official or bailed-out-by-officials media (which could be ANYONE)or in the NICC mix of public/private “image coordination” what the official “standard” of campaign and criticism level issues has been ordained, and from Obama through FOX to your town hall, it’ll sound pretty much like all non-suspicious folks want out of life…even if stripped of all else to get it…is: pandering to paranoia everyone out there is going to abuse/kill them and/or their children; nationalistic racists of assorted races and recent foreign origins are conspiring together to make Obama look bad in saying more mass immigration just provides jobs through health care for people living in huts/mud, so enact more mass immigration to solve ALL problems; and other than this, please make sure no one’s breasts fall off, that nobody gets a flu, and that every woman or man through a woman can abort any child at any pre- or post-birth stage if inconvenient…we’re so green conscious, apart from this, we’d seek no job/own interest just to know we could live on food stamps and handouts ever-after while money remains an entitlement of privilege and office holders, as we know sacrifices must be made for the only thing REAL freedom-lovers/religious want. 

Now, let’s say you’re a person from any nation who knows that USA jobless if decorous New Urbanism is just the term our elites give to what most urbane global folks know as “global monoculture”…i.e., what you see in the USA is what you would see if you went to any African nation, China, Latin America (even Mexico!), Russia, you name it, and the value of local currency not seeming tethered to human stagnation. Further, let’s say you thus knew pretty much, elsewhere global monoculture favors young and under-educated adults, most of whom get by through sleeping with as many of each other as they can, trolling every night club and worse there is and often amid “easy credit” and gambling as they scramble to keep their homes and use anyone to “make it”…the usual result by 30 being “oh, oh, spaghettio!”, and all the nastiness USA “life losers” get. Most importantly, say you knew that most foreign people, like USA people, AREN’T what their government “favors” by handout/bailout/buyoff.

If you know such things, man, you’re as apt to run afoul of media shrews and officials’ scolds as the men/women who think it’s great to be healthy, but how do you live if otherwise you have zero connection to equity in society, national currency, or both. These things go to human rights, in any event being things which just aren’t of interest to official USA policy at Federal, State, or Local levels; where any DO claim interest, they always point to “feed the children” infomercials around for decades, saying all children and parents in Africa and Latin America live in huts and starve as tribal types…no updates to the Lincoln-Mercury dealers in Chad, the New Urbanity of South Africa through Zimbabwe, dittoes in Mexico/Venezuela/Peru/Columbia, you get the picture. Take a look at Monterrey in Mexico, for example, or the dish tv Latin program “Sexo Urbano” geared to Latin nations, and tell me I’m goofy.

So as long as it appears campaigns, official legislations/budgets, and officeholders will not consider issues other than their own, and all partisan blogs/media/people try only to jockey for slimming bucks by giving arty quips pro/con insubstantial issues, could they stop blaming anyone but themselves for statism?

I mean, in a monocultural world, every leader is really singing the same song; no, most people aren’t bin Laden or stalkers; really, Western Christians don’t have to “know their place” on human rights and such as there’s no fill-in-the-blank mass religion(s) ready to pounce on them, nor vice versa re Christians, just cult-like extremists usually finding this and that IMF funding; no, there’s no “surrender” where every leader is a co-captain of monoculturalism, where leaders from Libya to Syria to Pakistan and the West emulate or accomodate each other’s protocols on official-citizenry separations regardless of inanity ; and I for one am at a loss to determine how a USA citizen querying what nationals and immigrants alike will do for a living, once they’re all healthy and uber-protected from abroad and in everyday life, is akin to sedition, revolution, terrorism, or wing-nut anecdotal pocket designation.

You’d think what with gold being over $1,000 an ounce, the Euro being worth at least twice as much as the USA dollar (the IMF world standard, mind you), kiting of every kind of tax there is, pay cuts, and so on, there’d be no way a slacker could possibly get their mitts on easy Federal money what with the newest unemployment insurance extension, right?

Whoops! Nope, and by slackers I don’t mean the megaton of folks who, they say, “miss hearings”, “don’t co-operate with investigators”, and such; to me, a slacker is someone largely disinterested in participating in society at-large as most of us know it. Of course, high taxes and job losses and pay cuts to eke out livings while the USA gives hundreds of billions to Laden coddlers denotes payoff to only a rarified type of slacker, because in a standards-rejecting mindset, Laden is just doing what’s “his way”…the only similarity with slackers whom are relevant. Hey religion-free positivists: such “this way/that way” itself is a standard, you know, just not one making logical or exact physical scientific sense.

Bear with me: what may sound like a spat actually offers germane data from personal observation and comparative experience.

Just yesterday, my brother-in-law received a letter from the Oregon Employment Department, telling him he’s eligible for about $500 PER WEEK in unemployment insurance for not less than the next six months (and they’ll obviously believe his “tried to find work hard but couldn’t” say-so certifications each week), off the only real job he had recently…which ended YEARS ago! Now, in between, for HIM, Oregon deigned to give him alone as much in food stamps per month as the average married couple sans dependents EARNING less would get together (maybe because he is obese?); this would continue during any new UI; Oregon also gave him stipend unemployment yearly off two to three months per Summer closed-shop cannery work even though it’s temp seasonal by nature (gone are the days of the 1990 Census, when GW Bush said scum like me weren’t eligible for UI given its temporary nature of six months to two years…and I was an EDP super in an Oregon office!).

I know oh so many people don’t have the easy luck with unemployment, 911-based TEUC forward, that folks like my brother- and sister-in-law do; their secret? These two have some of the most unusual personality quirks well of Oregon record. No, not disability, not diminished mental capacity…adult life-long drug/alcohol habituation (he at 55 and she at 42), and a penchant for avoiding public interactions, living in mounds of trash and filth, sob-storying family/neighbors/et al for cash and lack of re-payments, and being somewhat violent. 

The only jobs my sister-in-law has had in the last decade are those involved with “community service” and crime-to-work schemes; once she “earns” expungement of even felony raps, she quits; she then goes back to forgery, beating, blackmailing, you name it…and see, as she’s a regurgitator, all is wiped away by Oregon authorities (don’t let her near any real weapons folks…who knows WHAT she’s allowed to do simply as like Laden it’s just “her way”). Police, local Church goers, and neighbors will smash down any family’s doors wanting to know why my wife and I won’t support “the poor thing” who does as she pleases without fear of law, should she take notion to “bleed” us in dry spells. She’s violently attacked so many over the years, maybe like Obama with Laden many have craven admiration for her. But SHE gets whatever Oregon aid is out there, and wouldn’t you know she too never “misses” important interviews (usually as same of her are never required or penalized)?

My brother-in-law is equally “erstwhile”. My mother-in-law died at age 78 last year of acute renal failure; want to know the state of affairs not long before her death? B-I-L was living as he does now in the basement; S-I-L came up and so viciously beat M-I-L with hands and objects for failure to give her money (while B-I-L just listened) that M-I-L had to go hospital for stitches/checkout, and get restraining order against S-I-L; police later ignored all this and found not even technical elder abuse going on. At the same time, B-I-L “looked for work” amid toking pot, snorting blow, and drinking either downstairs or at his friend’s house just a few doors over the hill…S-I-L has longtime AA crowd types bringing her 100 proof Vodka in innumerable plastic bottles meantime. M-I-L dies months later, “kids” go on as usual, Mom is to this day still in the box the unpaid crematory sent her ashes back in; May 2009 (nine months post M-I-L death) my wife and I first relevantly arrive in Oregon to help clean/landscape estate trying to sell the house on reverse mortgage now in foreclosure; S-I-L takes off to Portland, B-I-L does nothing to help re house/grounds, my wife and I clean junk pit and tame dazzlingly over-grown grounds, the other two say they resent me and tolerate me only because of my wife’s one-third interest (in dust, it seems).

B-I-L likes to fall back on his triple bypass a few years ago, but again, he won’t even apply for disability, won’t get cheap FireMed insurance re health, won’t stop smoking/toking/drinking/eating opulently; when he wants to check his fireplace chimney, he lopes easily on his own onto the roof; when getting satellite TV, he easily lopes onto the roof again and does wiring work the system rep should be doing! Then, apart from a 10 week stint at the cannery this summer, he spends almost all of his time alone in the basement or his nearby friend’s house.

Contrast these two with say ME. I have no real or expunged record(s) of any nature(s); I will be 50 in two months; I have always cared about not just appearing to be but being a productive citizen and good neighbor; let’s see what Oregon thinks. Well, in August, a Salem security outfit had an OED ad promising all sorts of pay, training, hours, and requirement of DPSST license; I responded, was given copies of DPSST docs, card-printed, assigned to work, asked then to work armed on non-armed app, refused, was fired, turned in everything; DPSST says no app ever submitted by employer for me, so I must not engage in security work in Oregon, but employer commits no fouls by false advertising of jobs or conduct thereafter. Since the emp didn’t pay for training time or anywhere near hourly rate, for same I filed wage claim with Oregon BOLI; they tell me I’ll pend forever because in undisclosed nature they allege I “won’t cooperate with BOLI investigators”. Oddly, six weeks ago a Vancouver/Portland lawyer via USPS sent me an ad for representation offer based on obtaining my name from a public BOLI claimant list; but when offering contract he said if respondent in Court raise ANY defense he quits and socks fees to me; I asked first how wage assignment in toto to BOLI Commissioner (routine) in unsettled BOLI action isn’t cause to quash re abuse of process; lawyer withdraws offer, Oregon State Bar says can’t see how biting such line would have hurt me but won’t say why. I hear others, having been good workers and suckered into the employer’s hiring scam, themselves weren’t paid, some even told their card prints went for no DPSST check but were rolled by cops “who nabbed them” and now have CRA type blips because of it…oh well, at least I myself haven’t yet experienced THAT (have I?). All I have to do is now listen to my B-I-L crow about his “more manly, breadwinning” nature in comparison to me and my human/familial/marital worth…hey, if one consciously detesting his lot wants to slap at me, I understand his pathetic need to transfer angst over being a kept State pet, or to drive others from him, or both.

And at least the Oregon Attorney General consumer division appears to have at least notified me they find the relevant lawyer-BOLI practice something to note and form file upon.

In summation, the common point is: Can we be sure that taxes, pay cuts, socialized health care, and credit crimps will actually jump-start mass personal economies or result in physical/economic security, or will they be micro-managed to mint political coin on officials’ swag hikes on grounds they’re “keeping us safe by using compassionate funding of those for whom anti-social behavior is a lifelong, not brief or one-shot, way”…at the gross expense of the vast inter-ethnic/racial majority of people NOT being such pikers?

After all, comrades, we can’t ALL get $500 or more in government love on anything, let alone on stanky old work history, can we? As Obama reminded us back in March, we know what WE’RE doing when WE get mortgages based on jobs which then get cut…bad us, and no jobs/aid until we learn by whatever DHS thinks through its April 2009 reports on us all as “alienated unemployed”…those who get UI/any aid asked no matter what obviously not very alienated and welcome by DSH/social workers/law enforcement….at least until THAT bubble runs dry.

I like watching my satellite TV; it lets you make such interesting comparisons based on demographics each station is aimed at.

For example, on any network parented by CNN, you can see non-stop ads for what bailed-out Hollywood is serving as Holdiday fare this Thanksgiving forward: a few psychodramas, a movie about vampires and stuff, a movie about werewolves, and a violent armored car robbery drama, all set for release November 20 through December 4, 2009, amid a few ads for how every young person will earn AT LEAST $25,000 more per year if they'll just get ANY college degree workplace to go to or not. Man, folks sure hate that Christmas/Kwanzaa/Chanukkah...movies PROVE it, and don't you question the "box office smashes" Hollywood ALWAYS churns out (yet later goes so bankrupt they need Fed bail-outs, like car makers and TV networks and newspapers, no numbers-fakers they). You hate religion too, don't you, now that you see if the flu doesn't keep people from shopping it must lust for hard-bitten humanism that motivates NORMAL people?

But soft! Flip over to the "Hallmark" channels, aimed mostly at codgers my age or older, and all you see are ads for warm, fuzzy Holiday reruns, ads for Christmassy doohickeys, no-cost motor chairs, reverse mortgage miracles,ads telling how pre-retirement age folks can easily clear up their debt at ANY debt consolidator and just pay their bills instead of "play, and there's not one whiff that only lunatics must still like Christmas and such.

This pretty much dittoes throughout the vast diversity of TV stations cable/satellite; of internet blogs, emails, PACs, and such; and through all politicians and talk radio there are, on just about every issue there is to be micro-re-educated about.

Try this. When ANY pol say, e.g., "healthcare uber alles!", or even "no GITMO chaps in MY State!", as they prate on and on and on and on, keep repeating the question "...AND?", making it plain you want to know (minus electronic/print media) how come jobs still evaporate faster than retained/created, going commercial space has all occupants squeezed out for MORE empty strip mall/office/New Urban housing space, we need to live through flu without thought of mortgage foreclosures, and so on down the things most people see as daily concerns.

Again, so much of the talking head/cinema world today seems like a virtual world untethered to any physical realities and hardships at all. As final example, look at the "hate religion" farago. First, we need to remember in every country outside the USA, even in Canada, ALL religions are regulated and licensed. Ex officio or otherwise, outside the USA, ALL Presidential-type folks ARE the metaphysical interpreters of ALL faith in their realm; thus, in Pakistan, all Muslims are told they MUST hate whoever the regime and pals like Laden say; to counter, China and Obama say they must reign in Christianity to keep us safe from Muslims (yet China and the Office of Faith-Based Initiatives set orthodoxies even in Islam); all world leaders are fairly confident that all people of earth need tight sitting upon as the globe becomes little more than one big housing project; only such leaders need to high-five each other and suggest further financial and liberty handcuffs for all people except Ladenists at occasional G8 or G20 clambakes.

See? If some DO hate religion, it might just be disdain for the way government intereferes with the ancient-to-recent ontologies bolstering humanity, freedom, fellowship, farming, work, arts, and so on just about every government commands as orthodoxy...most people of earth, even atheists, do NOT find Saint-Simon, bin Laden, or similar destroyers doctors of God or Stoic humanity.

Thus I suggest liberal use of the query "...AND?" to media and officials, and suggest that the special feeling of belonging to some group dynamic like blogs or networks or radio shows or similar results in little more than a neutralization of one's self-interest for the exclusive comforts of those sending your energy to ground.

 

Syllabus: humans are by nature all opportunistic; the concept of any nature of God has been vanquished by 20^th century physics, namely the special theory of relativity, the chaos theory, and the Big Bang theory in global relativity theoretics. So many people going on and on about such exact physical sciences, so many educators droning on in a priori presumption such theories are perfect, and thus such global impact on cultures having been made, face it…only a simpleton believes in God, any faith, any spirituality; handcuff, eradicate, or regulate spiritualists to protect dumb people from predators and rabble-rousers competing with more aggressive opportunistic competitors. Being good requires simply choice and measuring only by the needs or edicts of the day since a lifetime is all there is.

 Ontology-Based Metaphysical Reflection Upon Physics Of Syllabus

 The referenced physics theories certainly are relied upon by many atheists; at the same time, such theories support a certain Protestant and other religious modern concept known as noninterventionist strategy…i.e., God only created everything but ever-after has refrained from any special acts or miracles, yet God concurrently acts at particular moments without violating the laws of nature.

The blatant circular logic of noninterventionist strategy seems plain: it is senseless to say God stays out completely yet somehow gets a message(s) through to some people. As such strategy seems more a purely comparative religious cloy against the Catholic and similar faiths believing in miracles, I abandon further consideration of it except to note it supports a notion of human opportunism. 

The main points of relevant physics appear to be:

First, the special theory of relativity: measurements of distance and time vary from different perspectives upon the observer’s relative motion. Proponents of this block theory of the universe deny the existence of God’s eternal “NOW”, questioning the nature of Divine eternity and creaturely temporality.

As a stand-alone genre of educational and book-selling attack on the idea God is constantly “tuning in” on the world, the theory of relativity where used in such attack weakens due to fact we don’t know HOW God watches (or if God has human distance limitations); to “explain” God’s lack of viewership interest under Einstein’s theory, decades later physics pioneers like Edward Lorenz evolved the second relevant theory…the chaos theory of determinism.

Chaos theory basically sets forth that without need of any God, any absolutely precise input will yield an absolutely precise output most of the time, except for occasional deterministic chaos giving rise to random behavior; where a novelty emerges it has to be a re-arrangement of something commonly existent or it will be so unstable/unsuited it can’t persist…unless a decoherence effect causes it to continue indefinitely, decoherence remains incalculable, or both.

One observes therein an openness: the future isn’t a random lottery, but rather causal principles involved are more than exchanges of energy between constituents; causation is due to differing patterns of dynamical behavior or of expressions of information. No physics makes it difficult to believe that God interacts with the unfolding history of creation through inputs of active information.

Physicists ran from Einstein to Lorenz for an absolute door closure upon or at least scientifically highly implausible perception of God, but haven’t shown it there; maybe the third and final relevant theory, the Big Bang theory, will provide the ultimate smackdown of a mere myth.

The Big Bang theory says our universe created itself from the nexus of another universe, thus no God created it nor by extrapolation anything in it. 

This one’s too easy to rebut: since physics insists no matter can ab initio generate itself, where then did the very first-of-all universes come from, especially since a vacuum produces nothing? Well, physics is pretty quiet there, meaning something in transcendence of our physics is the day one initiator of our realm and everything ever in it or any predecessor universe(s). 

Ontologically Metaphysical Opinion On Human Nature Per Syllabus  

From archaic Greek and Mycenaean society (1400-700 BC) through philosophers like Hesiod (c. 700 BC), Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and the Stoics; from Hebrew Deuteronomy 15:7-10 to Islamic Qur’an 17^th surah lines 23-30 to physical forms of Hindu karman, and beyond, in such people and texts charity, mercy, and hospitality reflect a diverse and eternal human perspective that what we call “good” is part of a Creator’s essence of which all souls are a part. 

Forever and even today, many in the world insist that no God(s) or universal power higher than man exists, thus the most ruthless must maul, deceive, or otherwise prevail against the vast weaker population, which themselves could be just as ruthless as others but for laziness, fear of suppression, or both; these kind of people insist no God exists based more on expediencies than facts, further insisting that all humans are always born with “bad” character only; and they say there are no spiritual worries if you treat those needing or aspiring to charity/mercy as surplus humanity and losers, preyed upon further by faker clergy of every stripe using made-up faiths to beat fellow pikers like say Laden out of more cash. 

I myself am not aware of any science which dispels my personal beliefs that humanity is imbued with souls all created by God, God operates in the nature of the Gospels, that ruthless, pitiless self-absorption (including direct or passive participation in or tacit mental tolerance/craven admiration for malevolent, hateful, or otherwise misanthropic egregiousness) is rooted in siren enticements of darkness, and that how you spend your life determines where God will then let you stay for eternity: eternal growth in simpatico with a God having no “need or use” for you Himself, or eternal ruthlessness of a realm run by a non-God who detests your existence at all.  

In other words, anyone can be what some call “good” without God, but only to the point, if any, someone needs the help of non-ontological licensed psychiatry to overcome bona fide physically caused impairments re fear(s) or anything else relevant, often it’s easier to stay “good” through the grace God makes available to all no matter how they perceive Him.
