Keeping the oil momentum up

As you may recall, when Bush the father was vice president the price of oil dropped causing the vice president to close his plants. You probably remember the great migration from Texas due to loss of jobs, thanks to the vice president. Mr. Bush then went to Arabia telling OPEC to reduce their production so the prices will go up. That was the father.

Now, the momentum for the perpetual rise of price of oil seems to be diminishing. So Bush the son privately tells the King of Arabia to deny his public request for increasing production. That is sufficient to cause another lengthy spike in the price of oil.

Do you feel any shortage? Do you have to wait in line to fill your tank? It is not the oil that is in shortage. What is actually in shortage, is the billions to quench the thirst of the Bushes. Evidently, the billions of tax money they got as incentive to rebuild their refineries was not enough. Also keep in mind that the military is consuming more oil than people driving their cars. The higher price means more profit from sales to the government.

Yes, I am so stupid to believe that the President of the United States of America makes a public request to his puppet, and his request is surprisingly denied. With hundreds of billions in profits and incentives, just how hard it is to increase domestic production instead of begging a puppet?

The omnipotence paradox

In previous blogs I have argued that our entire universe is just a particle in the limitless vastness of existence. The view of infinite (number of) universes implies that universes are affected by other universes, and may even collide into one another. More interesting is the notion of parallel universes, though unimaginably far apart.

The main point of the argument is the lack of gaps, which should not be confused with vacuum or void. Lack of gap is equivalent to continuity of existence. The argument is that, if we allow for gaps as areas where nothing exists, such gaps will eventually separate the tiniest particles to ineffective mutual distances.

There is nothing wrong with the view that our universe is made up of a few kinds of fundamental particles. However, it does beg the question as to why these types of particles, and why so many of each kind. Note that indivisibility implies that the number of each kind of particles is fixed.

Perhaps the existence is continuous, and fundamental particles are distortions of the fabric of existence. As such, other universes could be made up of other types of fundamental particles, obeying different laws of physics. Furthermore, if the initial particle (mass, black hole) that is now our universe was just a condensation of fabric of existence, its sudden expansion to any size (big bang inflation) is quite logical.

The reason for this reference to previous blogs is to illustrate that omnipotence is paradoxical, not just relatively paradoxical. It is true that what cannot be done in one universe could be happening in another universe. Nonetheless, the possibility of causing something to happen is constrained by the physical actuality.

Consider the statement “God can do something that He cannot undo”. Assigning the logical truth-value or false-value to this statement puts a restriction on omnipotence. This implies that there are things that cannot be done, or that, not everything is possible in any given scenario of reality. A simple way of seeing the omnipotence paradox is as follows. God can do anything, and therefore He can do something, which He cannot undo.

There is a disturbing conclusion that can be drawn from the preceding observation. It implies that there are things that cannot be done, which is why God needs our military assistance in fulfilling some of His promises. In many cases we compromise with a load of future vengeance, or until we are strong enough to force a better deal. Basically, we are accepting the omnipotence paradox and admitting that God needs our military assistance in fulfilling some of His promises. Considering the fact that we regard God as absolute perfection, the question becomes, why would God make promises that He could not fulfill peacefully? The Creator gave us intelligence, how we have chosen to use it is the work of Devil.

Back in the seventies, the young and intelligent President Jimmy Carter, was manipulated by his director of CIA, George Bush. The President was persuaded that the Shah of Iran would eventually make a nuclear bomb. At the time the Shah had established dozens of universities in all corners of the country. Iran’s exports to Asia were rising rapidly and the final stage was the petrochemical plant, and achieving nuclear energy. The last two, however, were a threat to EXXON. Mr. Bush preferred something like Arabia of Mr. Saudi and his royal family. However, there was no way to fool the American’s with the idea that the Shah is after the nuclear bomb to hurt Israel.

President Jimmy Cater in his visit to Iran stated that, “Under the Shah, Iran is the island of stability”. One wonders just what happened a few months later. I recall the starting incident in my hometown in Abadan that fueled the Iran’s revolution. At a peak time with the Rex theater filled with over 400 people, its doors were blocked from outside and the theater was set to fire burning 400 people alive. This was beautifully blamed on the Shah, all over the country. You know the rest.

Carter had learned his lesson and was not cooperative, so Mr. Bush needed to get to the White House in order to achieve his Big dreams. He chose an actor to hide behind and created the hostage crisis in Iran against Carter. Do you really believe that a bunch of students, without the help of CIA took over the American embassy in Tehran? Just how did these students know how to secure a huge stretch of land with many buildings, within minutes? The takeover was a very well planned operation just as was the incident that occurred during the hostage rescue operation.

And now, a few decades later, George Bush the son celebrated his daughter’s marriage. I wish the young lady a long happy life filled with blessings. However, I expected a word from the Commander in Chief who has sent thousands of our youngsters to their death. Perhaps a moment, and a few words thanking their soul for their ultimate sacrifices. Alas our actions reflect our hearts’ contents. America is the land of opportunity for Big dreams that require millions of miserable slaves who do not deserve a word that may stain the moment of pleasure achieved through their sacrifices.

We need to revisit the laws of evolution, in particular “The Survival of the Fit”. When it comes to our species, the law becomes, “The Survival of the Liars”. The bushes are privileged, and the trees are for pleasurable consumption. Thus, our speech ability creates a paradox to evolution. Since the Liar’s Paradox is already taken (we used it for the omnipotence paradox), we will call this one, “The Paradox of the Survival of the Unfit”. The fit simply get killed in wars so the unfit can celebrate their children’s weddings.

Smallest fattest government

The most fascinating irony of our times is the success of superimposing the brutal Roman democracy upon a modern constitution, and then stretching it in all dimensions of cruelty in just a few years. However, the recent events are only a manifestation of a bad case scenario. As opportunities for international profitability shrink we shall see worse scenarios, unless we convert some of the government’s fat to service.

Our species have caused the extinction of many species in our quest for food. In our attempts to facilitate obtaining food, we have caused the extinction of more species by eliminating the competition, and the predators. However, we finally reached the intellectual level to realize our atrocities and began to save the species, such as buffalos, from extinction. We seem to be less generous to ourselves.

From the beginning we also learned that weapons were effective in exploiting our own species. We also learned that superstitions, and traditions that would generate fear, were just as effective as weapons. However, the most effective weapon against large masses has been the abuse of rule of law by democratically elected representatives. You are constantly reminded that the votes, and therefore the wishes of the majority are in control. Whether the majority refers to actual voters or the resources that affect the outcome of voting is lost in deceptions and artificial ambiguities.

A fascistic democracy is a democratically skirted fascism supporting the ideals of a group of controlling capitalists, where the ideals are driven solely by the desire for higher profitability. We own the fattest government ever, and yet it is effectively invisible when we need it, especially in our old age. The sole purpose of the government is the creation of national and international opportunities for the profitability of the controlling masters of our country.

Indeed, the president states that we do not torture. Ironically, he also acknowledges the rarity of jobs and loss of homes. Millions wake up, assuming they fell asleep at all, with the fear of loss of their lowered paying jobs that are being exported. They start their day with the torturous anxiety of losing their homes while the oil companies are making billions in profit. I wonder what is the definition of torture that the president has in mind.

We need to get over the traditions and connotations imposed on terms like social. We must get something out of our fattest government other than its services for the rich and the protection of their profit levels. If we leave all services, such as education and health open to profitability, we are going to see much worse scenarios than current conditions, with higher frequency of occurrence. After all, we can only create so many wars without being challenged. Thus, the focus of profitability will be more than ever the basic needs of the nation itself.

Legalizing certain forms of theft so the masses can be robbed results in other forms of theft, including bank robberies and burglaries. Regardless of how it is skirted, giving billions of tax dollars as incentives to oil companies is theft. Just because it is legal does not mean it is not stealing. Tax dollars are not personal so someone can simply write a check against them.

The largest government with largest budget imaginable is so small and insignificant with regard to providing for its children, elderly and those who need medical help. Does anyone ever wonder what is the purpose of a monstrous government with enormous budget when such a huge percentage of the population is suffering from poverty? How is this the wish of the majority? Are we so savage and selfish or are we being manipulated?

An all win corruption

Our so-called democracy has degenerated to the initial conception of a democratic government. Basically, a body of mercenaries for fooling the population into believing that, they are on the side of the people. Using the disguise of a representative, they propose solutions for their masters that keeps the population of slaves under control and voluntarily obedient. Recently, we have also applied the technique of endowing the leader with divine attributes.

Lobbying has established a double-edge winning tradition in favor of corporations. Republicans will cut taxes for the rich and democrats will flood the country with immigrants thereby shrinking salaries and wages. Occasionally someone enters the White House to boost our corporate foreign policy. The fact that we are talking about all of this in a democratic system simply means that we as the people have lost the war of poverty.

In ancient times, opening the city gate for enemy soldiers was treason because the soldiers would take peoples’ belongings and rape their daughters. Well, the loss of jobs causes people to lose their homes, and their daughters end up working for playboy. Thus, in a country that jobs are a matter of life and death, anyone deliberately causing loss of jobs is a traitor. Overflowing the country with cheaper foreign skills hurts millions in favor of a few corporate traitors.

A private business, such as insurance and banking cannot make its own laws. However, our lawmakers have been quite creative in providing the private sector with the opportunity to dictate its set of laws to our nation. Thanks to lobbying, instead of a single dictator we can have any number of them, turning us into a democratically multi-dictatorship nation, or a government-backed anarchism. In particular, lobbying is an effective technique for legalization of theft, a generalization of legacy of Al Capon.

The management of our retirement plan is the most vivid example of unequal treatment. Social security taxes are collected on the first $97,000 of any salary. This is so the rich pay less into a Social Service, but they delightfully accept large social security checks at their retirement.

The rich do not need social security checks for their daily lives. So, our elected representatives solve the retirement financial problems by raising the retirement age instead of raising the cap on social security taxes. This is so brutal that is hard to explain. Just think for a moment and observe who is more likely to live longer, and therefore who will be receiving the social security checks for many years of their lives. You should easily see the only one reason for raising retirement age and imposing a cap on social security taxes.

No human being other than vulture capitalists would make people work until the age of 70 for their basic needs. Note that these people make less than $100,000 and will be paying into social security, perhaps until they die. In fact, their social security checks are so small that they will need to work until they die.

The vulture capitalists easily demonize fair representatives through their corrupted media. A tiny percentage of our elected representatives actually represent 90 percent of our population. The rest are the mercenaries of the rich, or one of their relatives representing them in our Legislative Branch.

The search for profit by manipulating a nation’s laws will continue to bring extreme miseries to those of us who depend on the availability of jobs. A participating nation can prevent the abuse of its democratic system. However, such social advancements require the participation of almost the entire nation. We are, and we will be kept too far from the day that our entire nation will live like a small family, the way Jesus taught.

A mutable constitution is useless

For any type of democracy, constitution is the framework that determines the power of each branch of government. It is contradictory, and indeed absurd for any branch to have the constitutional power to modify the constitutional framework itself.

One does not have to be a lawyer to understand that, if a branch can modify the constitution, there is no point in having one at first place. It is just as plain and simple to see that a mutable constitution is equivalent to dictatorship.

In accordance to the Constitution of the United States of America, the power to declare war belongs to the Legislative Branch. The transfer of such power to the Executive Branch is not within the power of any branch because such transfer or delegation is equivalent to modifying the Constitution.

What I am saying is plain and simple. The Congress and the Senate do not have the power to vote on a legislation that delegates the power for declaring war to the Executive Branch. Somehow this has been done, conveniently providing Mr. Bush with the opportunity to invade Iraq. The question is, who or what oversees such violations of the Constitution?

Turning to the war itself, anyone can easily tell that the outcome of the war has brought miseries to the majority of Americans, and all Iraqis. A small percentage of Americans associated with private sector have profited big, indeed very big. As an additional help their tax burden has been drastically lowered for even more absurd profit levels, already in the billions.

Since the war is strictly benefiting a certain group of people in our country, shouldn’t they pay for the cost of the war? I know they will want our children to make the ultimate sacrifice. What about our little ones that will be the men and women of a few years from now? Should they pay for a war that they had nothing to do with? So, Mr. Bush wants us to sacrifice our children now, and use our tomorrow’s children to pay for a war that took away their parents, brothers and sisters? Why can we not stop this madness?

So, what is the end game?

Here we are, all nations at the United Nations declaring their support for democracy, love and passion for humanity. Yet, the only observable change is in the rise of poverty, crime and the wealth of a few. This observable pattern used to be local to small societies. The pattern extended itself to whole nations, and now it has spread its domain to the globe. So, what is the end game?

There is a difference between globalization of poverty, and its initial form of localized poverty all over the globe. In the localized case, occasionally people were able to rise against their oppressors and change things around, at least for a short while. Globalization of poverty is controlled by ever advancing spying and killing technologies. So, what is the end game?

Billions are born in poverty, living miserable lives while producing huge profits for the few. Millions live better lives by serving the profitability purposes of the few. So, what is the end game?

What purpose is served, outside of the satisfying lives for a few, to have a few super rich manipulate governments, politicians and scientists? Where are we going with this? So, what is the end game?

Money that can be used for manipulating governments and controlling militaries is worse than nuclear arsenal. The radiation from such money will continue to increase in intensity and harm huge populations. So, what is the end game?

Extreme globalized oppression energizes rage and hatred and marks death the only path to salvation. So perhaps, the end game is the observable gradual globalization of rise of the oppressed.

Prostitution of Science

The criteria for ranking a country should not be based on the existence of certain advanced services. The correct measure is the degree of guarantee of the availability of such services to all citizens. Under Mr. Bush, our nation has been lowered in rank to a third world country.

This article attempts to illustrate a form of prostitution associated with the essential services of our nation enforced by the privileged class of Mr. Bush. Confining the use of such services to the royal class of the privileged ones is a practice of the past. Humanity has come a long way in facilitating the distribution and use of scientific and technological achievements. Imposing artificial limits on the availability of essential services is a sickening form of fascism that humanity must eradicate as a continuation of the process of eliminating dictators.

The privileged ones love prostitution resulting from imposed poverty. This kind of control guarantees that a cure for a major disease, such as cancer or the Alzheimer’s will be readily available to them. The term prostitution is used to clearly indicate that most scientific research is done in order to sell the cures to the privileged class who can afford it. Thus, unless you are rich you are not a human and therefore the product of research does not apply to you.

So, why does a physician go through a harsh program for learning the profession? After all, physicians deal with human body, which has no indication of rich or poor. For a physician, a patient is just a human in need of their professional attention. Nonetheless, a physician cannot work for free when he/she must pay for everything. It is therefore the system that makes it appear as if a physician only prostitutes his/her services to those who can afford it. A physician’s service is not for sale, but the privileged ones like it that way because it guarantees its immediate availability upon their demand, same as paying for prostitution.

Selling products of scientific research to a class of people who can afford is by no means objectionable. However, when such products relate to matters of health, education and similar essential human needs, there should not be objection to the role of the government in making them available to the entire nation, either.

America has the capacity to take care of its citizens without resorting to charitable institutions. Such institutions are indispensable in complementing minor cases of irregularities that may occur locally, or in major cases of natural disasters. However, they are not suitable mechanisms as a substitute for lack of government planning.

The ranking of a country should not be based on the luxurious life of a small percentage of its population. As far as living conditions for the majority of our population we are a third world country. The existence of advanced services does not guarantee their availability to the citizens. Quite to the contrary, our social system or lack of it, guarantees the denial of such services to the much larger portion of the nation.

Essential services are protected with the invisible fence of increasing cost. This artificial monetary control keeps them off limits thereby ensuring their prompt availability for the privileged class. It goes without saying that a lot of such essential services are wasted, like a pile of good food that a rich throws away after each meal.

It should also be clear that the reduction in the number of people who can afford essential services increases their cost, and discourages interest in pursuing the profession. Since Mr. Bush holds an MBA, I must assume that he has done everything with perfect understanding of the consequences of his actions. What is not a mistake is the result of deliberation.

Mr. Bush has looted the nation’s budget for the next several years and presented it as a gift to his privileged class. In effect, he has foreclosed the country on the middle class. After he leaves the White House, the slaves of the middle class will begin their agonizing recovery from debt for years without the monetary power to pay for their families’ essential needs. The only solution is to take back the gifts and use them in providing the essential needs. This will help the recovery of the middle class without the unfair denial of basic benefits for working so hard in the most advanced country in the world.

Vultures feed on weak preys and a strong democracy will curtail the abundance of victims. Therefore, their starting point has been the weakening of our democracy through lies and deceptions, simply labeled as politics. Few democratic nations in history have painfully counted the days remaining for their leader to leave the seat of power. I have a feeling that history will record Mr. Bush’s departure as a mini-independence day.
