OWS, events, etc.

The establishment and FOX are angry at some members of the Occupy movement. The reason is that they want the myth of true rugged individualism (or if you want a job, get it or you’re lazy, etc. That lie). There is fear that the proposals from the Occupy Wall Street members might be successful. The propagandists want to privatize the public sector to leave the people alone in a parasitic and dying system. Rich men alone shouldn’t rule all of us and call themselves the markets. The plutocracy must end real solutions ought to be made manifest in the world. There should be public institution to use capital to help human needs and developments. It was the influence of Wall Street that caused the 1999 repeal of the Glass Steagall act or a pillar of the New Deal (this ended must needed regulation that prevented the merger of commercial banking and the essence of Wall Street). We can’t defend the pirates at Wall Street since these pirates and others were responsible for the recession in the first place. Consistently, 2/3s of all Americans in polls want a jobs bill to help Americans to get to work. Even Dr. King wanted an economic Bill of Rights and his Poor Peoples Campaign. So, the elite stole money from the working class. This refutes the anti-selflessness notions of Ayn Rand. The OWS wants financial regulation, financial transparency, the expression of the truth that a corporation is not a person, an end to bribery of Senators, Congressmen, and judges, etc. Police brutality has been enacted against the protesters as well. Kurt Nimmo talks about OWS calling for global governance. That’s a lie since some people may advocate that, but all OWS protesters don’t support that dogma (since the OWS is made up of people from across the political spectrum and across backgrounds). I don’t agree with global governance or global democracy since I believe in national sovereignty. Nimmo is correct that any movement shouldn’t be controlled nor funded by Foundation money. Yet, his Austrian Economics philosophy has been supported by the Rockefellers for decades. It’s hypocritical for Nimmo to talk about global government when Austrian economic supporters want to ruin the constitutional concept of taxation plus economic checks and balances. One prominent Austrian Economics supporters advocated a global governmental system. Regular OWS folks are genuine.

The Republican Mitt Romney consulted population control eugenics czar John Holdren. Many of Romney’s advisers helped the Obama administration to create the new health care law. Yet, Romney wants the law to be repealed. Romney sought the advice from Malthusian activist John Holdren when he was considering a cap and trade policy for Massachusetts. Holdren talked about humanity as a plague on the planet and the Industrial Revolution as a tragic mistake. He wants fewer people in the world and he isn’t coy when he discusses the ways that he would reduce the number of people on Earth. This advisor came about in 2005. Then Governor Romney wanted Holdren to advise him on the regulation of CO2 emissions form power plants. The present Obama administration wants all states to do the same via the EPA in regulations and mandates. A Dec. 7, 2005 memo from the governor’s office announcing the new policy listed among the “environmental and policy experts” providing input to the policy one “John Holdren, professor of environmental policy at Harvard University.” Holdren supports the agenda of Paul Ehrlich. Paul is the author of the “The Population Bomb” that warned of imminent mass starvation from overpopulation unless humanity is dispensed of. Holdren wrote in favor of forced abortions, confiscation of babies, mass involuntary sterilization, bureaucratic regulation of family size, and a planetary regime to enforce climate regulation and population control. This is all mentioned in Holdren’s Ecoscience book. He is now Obama’s Science Czar. The Ecoscience book came about in the 1970’s. His writings influenced the cap and trade agenda to an extent. His population control writings are wrong since he advocates involutionarily depopulating the Earth’s population. This would end human civilization as we know it. Holdren and Paul Erhrlich falsely predicted that if the US population reached 200 million people, it would be divesting. Holdren falsely said that if America reaches 210 million people, America would reach its optimum population size. They predicted that people will reduce economic spending power and have fewer children. Yet, America is over 300 million people and we don’t have an end of the world scenario. They still want a sacrificing of a few million peoples for the salvation of the planet when God is the only salvation of the planet.  They believe that humans are polluting the Earth (which is true), but we are one species among many that inhabit the planet.

Geometry is mathematics that deals with the measurement of shapes, lines, and related areas plus volumes of objects. Geometry existed among thousands of years from Euclid to Archimedes. Archimedes used many unique techniques to find areas and volumes that relate to modern integral calculus. We use geometry in astronomy that maps the positions of stars and planets on the celestial sphere. Rene Descartes made coordinates that improved the usage of algebra. Ancient Mesopotamia and ancient Egypt in the 2^nd millennium B.C. have the first recorded beginnings of geometry. Early geometry was a collection of empirically discovered principles concerning lengths, angles, areas, and volumes, which were developed to meet some practical need in surveying, construction, astronomy, and various crafts. The Egyptian Rhind Papyrus (2000-1800 B.C.) and the Moscow Papyrus (ca. 1890 B.C.) including the Babylonian clay tablets like Plimpton 322 (1900 B.C.) talked about geometric concepts. The Moscow Papyrus even gave a formula to calculate the volume of a truncated pyramid or the frustum. The ancient Nubians made a system of geometry including early versions of sun clocks. The Greek mathematician from the 600’s B.C. Thales of Miletus used geometry to solve problems like calculating the height of pyramids and the distance from ships from the shore. Euclid’s Elements talked about using the axiomatic method to solve math problems (using the axiom, theorem, and proof). Archimedes used the method of exhaustion to find the area under the arc of a parabola with the summation of an infinite series (and gave an accurate view of Pi). Islamic scholars dealt with mathematics as well.

Recently, many Republicans from Ron Paul to Mitt Romney desire explicitly to totally eliminate or heavily restrict U.S. foreign aid. Their reactionary pronouncements gave me a thought in my mind. I don’t believe in any unjust military intervention against sovereign nations. I’ve made that point clear. Yet, the total sum of our problems isn’t just national or sectional. They are global. I never adhered to the position of establishing a fundamental global governmental system in order to formulate a tranquil society. Although, human compassion from us Americans should be extended to help those suffering from poverty, malnutritrition, lax infrastructure, and the suppression of basic human freedoms worldwide. These vital activities can be done beyond trade, but via public & private sector efforts to solve these maladies. For concerns about human life doesn’t end within our national boundaries. Our authentic concerns ought to be for every human being among the whole human race. We are tied to the destiny of every country and every group of peoples. Their destinies are tied up subsequently with ours. Billions of dollars are spent on maintaining military bases across the Earth. This policy only benefits the eroding American Empire temporarily not the people. This money can be spent justly to assist Americans domestically & individuals internationally (in funding food, aid, infrastructure development, etc.). If billions of dollars can be spent in the war on terror & banker bailouts, then billions of dollars can be spent in home. Ron Paul yells about where is the money to spend for such an effort? Money can be found by ending the war on terror, and making a real, fair taxation system. You can also get money by having debt free money, cut tax loopholes for the super wealthy and other methods. It’s purely constitutional for Congress to pass laws and issue policies to help God’s children in America & across the globe irrespective of what Ron Paul says. The Republicans worship the market. The market isn’t, because humans have imperfections. Even if the market had no regulations whatsoever, corruption, discrimination, etc. could still exist. That is why you need some interventions to stable economic systems. Poverty in America is expansive in the trailer parks, ghettoes, the rural communities, Appalachia, and in even places where you least expect. It’s everywhere. It’s vitally crucial for everyone to not express an abhorrence of people living in ghetto. We ought to outline compassion, empathy, and a passion to give assistance to anyone that genuinely needs a reformation from the oppressive conditions that are found in poverty. The elite power structure invented the ghetto and other likeminded locations as a means to confine & limit power among the poor & disadvantaged. This decreased real power for the poor. Therefore, policies should be enacted to give more power to poorer communities in order to eliminate the poor conditions in the first place. Our oppressors use the poor as a means for scapegoating readily. Radical economic and structural changes in the West can only end poverty in the West. These changes deal with the promotion of livable incomes, real jobs, affordable housing, the development of excellent education system for especially the poor, etc. A guaranteed annual income is a populist way to fight against poor conditions as well. America has the responsibility and obligation to help the poor without agreeing with the interests of the oligarchy.

Hinduism has had a long history in ancient India. It came about in 1500 B.C. It was a mixture of the Aryan religion and the indigenous Indus Valley civilization’s religion (that focused on nature gods). Their books deal with the Vedas and the Upanishads. Their Bhagavad Gita deals with ethics or moral lessons. Hinduism’s symbol is the Aum symbol. Hinduism is polytheistic, but they worship Brahmin as the Supreme God. Brahman is pantheist or viewing Brahmin as a part of all living things. To Hindus, one goal in life is for man to reach unity with Brahmin. Brahmin has its manifestations of Vishnu and Shiva. Vishnu refers to preserving the Earth and Shiva is the god of destruction (or recycling the path of birth, life, death, and reincarnation). Reincarnation is when the soul is transferred from a human to other human or even animals depending on karma. Karma is the concept of the sum total of your decisions that you make in your life. Dharma in Hinduism is the work that you do in this life. The dharma is determined by personality, age, sex, and social class. Dharma promotes harmony and people to leave the wheel of fate. So, you dharma determines your karma. If you karma is bad, you could reincarnate into a lower class, if you karma is more positive then you can ascend into a higher class. There are castes or classes in Hinduism. The atman in Hinduism refers to the soul or one’s essential self. The gods in Hinduism can take human or animal form. The moksha is the union with Brahman to be released from samsara (or the process of reincarnation). Hinduism also believes in ahimsa or nonviolence. Buddhism in a way was a reaction to Hinduism since Hinduism back then was rigid and used a discriminatory caste system. Hinduism has no real founder since it was developed in a gradual fashion. Yet, Buddhism’s founder is named Siddhartha Gautama in ca. 566 B.C. Gautama was a prince in a warrior family. He was living in an enclosed environment and he wanted to find the deeper meaning in life. A soothsayer said that he would be a wandering holy man. He saw a poor man and destructive events that caused him to re-evaluate the priorities in his life. He mediated for 48 days in order to develop his life. He became the Buddha or the enlightened one. So, he developed the Four Noble Truths as a means to permit his philosophy. It details that life is about suffering and that humans want use the eightfold path to overcome desire. The desire for life or riches is illusions according to Buddhists. The Eightfold Path deals with behavioral changes like the right views, the right aspirations, the right speech, the right conduct, the right livelihood, the right effort, the right mindfulness, and the right contemplation. Buddha taught many teachings on morality.
