People are talking about the soon coming debates between President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. It's a fact that corporate power dominated the mainstream political system. For example, GE and the Council on Foreign Relations influence the daily news. The system will not speak up for the poor since the poor is regularly derided by mainstream society. The harm done to the working class and the Earth's ecosystem has been evil too. The confronting of corrupt corporate power is a must in the 21st century. During January of 2013, either President Barack Obama will be reelected or Mitt Romney will become President of the United States. We live under this the Left/Right paradigm. Some folks are victims of it. The oligarchy wants to cut many legitimate programs that help us from reaching total destitution. These programs are Medicaid, food stamps, Pell grants, Head Start, Social Security, public education, federal grants-in-aid to America’s states and cities, the Women, Infants, and Children nutrition program (WIC), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and home-delivered meals for seniors. The elite definitely want austerity by their documents, speeches, organizations, and their transparent intentions. In January of 2013, some predict that there will be automatic spending reductions. This is called the fiscal cliff. People realize the contradictory or hypocritical stances of Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney claims to be against Obama's health care law, but that law was based on his state health care plan of Massachusetts. Even the current President isn't perfect either, so it isn't a one party deal. The White House pledged to issue a public option in health care, to close Guantanamo Bay, to increase the minimum wage, regulate Wall Street, stop torture, have a comprehensive immigration reform, and other things. Many of these pledges weren't fulfilled. That is why even the labor movement had to fight for collective bargaining in Madison, Wisconsin, Chicago, and across the nation. The White House agrees with the recommendations from the Deficit commission. It was led by Morgan Stanley board member Erskine Bowles and former Senator Alan Simpson (a Wyoming Republican). The Bowles-Simpson plan wants to cut 0.3 percentage points from the annual cost of living adjustment in the Social Security program. Cuts would come to Social Security in a 6 percent cut in 2 decades (and the retirement age will be increased to 69). Those on Social Security who continued to work and made more than $40,000 a year would be penalized with further reductions. Many cities and towns in America face the decrease of property tax revenues. Some pension payments annually for state and local plans have doubled to 15.7 percent of payrolls in 2011 from 6.4 percent a decade ago according to a study by the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College. There is a lowering of expenditures and more jobs being cut by local and state governments including teachers plus other school employees. The costs of our most basic needs, from food to education to health care, are at the same time being pushed upward with no control or regulation. Tuition and fees at four-year colleges climbed 300 percent between 1990 and 2011, fueling the college loan crisis that has left graduates, most of them underemployed or unemployed, with more than $1 trillion in debt. Health care costs and food prices have increased in America. Since 2008, the Federal Reserve Bank and the Treasury Department have sent 16 trillion dollars to national and global financial institutions and corporations. That is why a state by state approach isn't enough in solving this dramatically bad economic situation. There must be a national plan of action to rebuild our economic apparatus. If a radical solution isn't shown, there could be serious problems financially in America. The corporate state is violating our civil liberties as well. This continues the anti-civil liberty policies of ex-President George W. Bush. The White House refused to restore habeas corpus, it has a policy to assassinate U.S. citizens without due process, FISA remains, and it has used the Espionage Act 6 times to threaten whistle blowers in the government with prison time. There is the controversial NDAA. Big oil and Big coal is in league with both major parties. There is the expansion of fracking and offshore drilling. Yet, the President and Mitt Romney aren't responsible for all of these things completely. The deal is that politicians are the public face of corporate power. The oligarchy uses Presidential campaigns as a mean to stifle alternative choices and maintain their dubious power. Both campaigns are projected to reach about 2.5 billion dollars. That is why we should work in our communities to promote freedom and justice irrespective who wins the November 4th election in America. We have to be practical. Voting is not just a constitutional right. It's a human right. Therefore, any law that tries to restrict the rights of minorities, students, the elderly, and others ought to be opposed (especially if such laws lower the time when people can have early voting too). We should vote, but voting should never be utilized as a fetish for us to experience complacency. Voting alone can never solve our problems. Therefore, we should promote the right to an education, the right to a job, the right to live in a clean environment, the right to organize unions, and other basic human rights.

 

In Engineering, there are numerous laws and formulas that real to this great subject. One such law is called Hooke's law. Hooke's law deals with the extension of a spring that's directly proportion with the load applied to it. Some materials obey this law as long as the load doesn't exceed the material's elastic limit. Hooke's law in simple terms says that stress is directly proportional to strain. Mathematically, Hooke's law states that F=-kx. X is the displacement of the spring's end from its equilibrium position (a distance, in SI units or meters). F is the restoring force exerted by the spring on that end (in SI units: N or KgXm/s2) and K is a constant called the rate or spring constant. The K is found in the units of N/m or kg/s2. The behavior is linear when this holds. The negative sign on the right hand side of the equation means that the restoring forces always acts in the opposite direction of the displacement. For example, when a spring is stretched to the left, it pulls back to the right. This law was created by the 17th century British physicist Robert Hooke. He first proclaimed this law as a Latin anagram in 1660. He words were published in 1678 in the words of Ut tensio, sic vis (or as the extension, so the force). Hooke's law relates to objects that quickly regain their original shape after being deformed by a force (with the molecules or atoms of their material returning to the initial state of stable equilibrium). Also, Hooke's law will describe how far the spring will stretch under a specific force. Hooke's law only holds for some materials under certain loading conditions. Steel exhibits linear-elastic behavior in most engineering applications; Hooke's law is valid for it throughout its elastic range. Rubber is a non-Hookean material because its elasticity is stress dependent and sensitive to temperature and loading rate. This law can apply to spring operated weighing machines, stress analysis, and modeling of materials. The potential energy stored in a spring is PE=1/2kx2. The potential energy comes from adding up the energy it takes to incrementally compress the spring. Another famous formula is called Ohm's Law. It is a mathematical equation that shows the relationship between Voltage, Current, and resistance in an electrical circuit. V is Voltage, I is the current or intensity and R is resistance. In the law, V=I times R. R is V/I and I is V/R. I is found in the unit of amperes. V can also be the potential difference measured across the conductor in units of volts. The resistance or R is found in the units of ohms. Ohm’s law states the current through a conductor between 2 points is directly proportional to the potential difference across the two points. Ohm's law states that the R in this relation is constant, independent of the current. The law is named after the German physicist Georg Ohm, who in a treatise published in 1827. In that treatise, he described measurements of applied voltage and current through simple electrical circuits containing various lengths of wire. Resistors are circuit elements that impede the passage of electric charge in agreement with Ohm's law and are designed to have a specific resistance value R. There are graph that define this law called the I-V curve. The I is in the Y-axis and the V is in the X-axis. There are numerous applications where this law is applied to circuits and unique forms of electronics indeed.

Bob Woodward promotes austerity blatantly. At first, I didn't want to believe it, but it does. He obsesses with the national debt like a Tea Party representative. The truth is that we can build the economy up first and handle the debt situation long term as Paul Krugman states so often. His new book promoting this archaic philosophy is entitled, "The Price of Politics." He assumes that the President must compromise with the Republicans even at the expense of the massive cutting our social safety net (which are not entitlements as Woodward slanders, but are programs people earned via their sweat, blood, and tears) is reasonable. The Republicans exploited the national debt crisis as a means to promote draconian cuts to society. Woodward doesn't mention a thing about poverty and our civil liberties, but only about debt (when we had high debt for eons in American history. Our debt can't be massively decreased anything soon, but gradually over time). Bob Woodward is acting like a Republican here. The reality is that the Tea Party Congress forced John Boehner to take the extreme position that raising any taxes is equivalent to extremism. The President compromised more so than the Tea Party has throughout the term of the current President. This is why Woodward is gaining support among the radical reactionary Sean Hannity on FOX News. When Woodward was on FOX News (with Herman Cain and Michelle Malkin), Woodward blamed the current President completely for the failure of Congressional negotiations. The reality is that the Republicans would never entertain raising taxes or spending money. He makes the claim that the President didn't lead on the debt crisis, but both parties made errors. Also, a temporary rising of a debt crisis is better than an economic disaster. The reality is that the President was willing to make substantial spending cuts and cuts to social programs. John Boehner could not get his caucus to agree with a dime in tax increases. Joe Boehner said that the President tried to make a last minute deal of a forcing the Republicans to accede to billions of dollars in additional tax revenues. The White House said that they settle on a rough framework for deal, but it was part of a fluid negotiation. They believe that the additional revenue was one option on the table not a last minute demand. You can decide for yourself who is correct or not. There is no evidence that this brick wall was going to be destroyed (when Mitch McConnell said that I want Obama to be a one term President. The GOP wants the compromise to be agree with them 100 percent or there is no compromise) and I don't agree with the President on every issue. Also, the GOP still stands for Empire, reactionary deception, and economic barbaric policies. The big picture is that the corporate establishment is influencing both parties in trying to cut Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare as a means to promote anarcho-capitalism. Both of the major candidates are speaking very similar words as Wall Street executives. Even in the 1980's, Speaker of the House Tip O'Neil worked with Ronald Reagan to raise taxes on the poor and middle class via their "grand bargain" about Social Security. Even Bill Clinton took money from the Social Security trust fund to fund the stock market. Both candidates now want to cut the social safety net during 2013 and beyond. So, the GOP isn't just responsible for this extremist agenda. Some Democrats want the Simpson-Bowles plan like Dick Durbin and Steny Hoyer. Although, Mitt Romney is wrong to assume to cut college federal aid and to advise people to just borrow money from parents in causing people to pay for record college tuition. That's silliness.

 

The cost of GM crop and soy feed for conventional cattle are increasing. There is the issue of crop failures and drought conditions in America. That is why some farmers are using alternatives to adjust to this reality. Some farmers are using the following to feed their animals: corn syrup laden gummy worms, nutrient devoid marshmallows, and chemical laden ice cream sprinkles. These are some of the junk foods that are now being sent to American cattle, because of the resource issues in America. Even the Vancouver Sun reports via Reuters that a new alternative feed market is emerging out of the ongoing crop crunch. Farmers all over America are running out of common feed options for their herds. Corn-based feeds are becoming too expensive or simply unavailable for some in Indiana, North Dakota, etc., some farmers are buying leftover candy scraps (including extruded cereals, gummy snacks, food waste, pastries, etc.) to feed to their cows. This action will influence the production of conventional meat and dairy products sold nationwide to American consumers. “Brokers are gathering up discarded food products and putting them out for the highest bid to feed lot operators and dairy producers, who are scrambling to keep their animals fed,” says Reuters. “In the mix are cookies, gummy worms, marshmallows, fruit loops, orange peels, even dried cranberries. Cattlemen are feeding virtually anything they can get their hands on that will replace the starchy sugar content traditionally delivered to the animals through corn.” The fruit of this could be more nutrition-deficient food products. There should be ways to develop natural grass pastures. The reason is that animals are being forced to eat junk foods rather than fresh grass, silage, and other natural foods that they were designed to eat. People in the world experience unnatural poisons in our food and water all of the time. GM corn and soy is bad enough when Americans consume it. Now, American cattle are being forced to eat candy corn and Oreos. These foods are ironically made up of processed GM corn and soy byproducts. Animals should be pastured. Cows are ruminant animals. They have a digestive system meant to eat grass and other plant based foods not fruit snacks and cream pies. Cows are not meant to eat these types of junk foods at all. Grass fed animals produce high quality, nutrient dense meat and dairy. When this transpires, the grass tends to be self-sustaining food that is free. Pasture-based animal husbandry also enriches the land and promotes healthy environmental stewardship. The problem is that real grass is highly expensive, because of the drought in the heartland of America. Therefore, we should not promote GM foods and use real alternatives in feeding animals.

 

Secret Societies are still here. Freemasonry is one of the largest and controversial secret society groups in the world. They are many people in the Scottish Rite like Norm Crosby (a 33rd Degree Freemason), Ron Blaisdell, Brent Morris, and others. The Masonic influence in early American has been firmly established by even mainstream historians. Freemasonry has a huge role in the composition of the American Revolution, because many Generals, soldiers, and funders of the American Revolution were members of the craft from Paul Revere to George Washington. The Founding Fathers were influenced by the Enlightenment/Masonic view that human reason not supernatural revelation must be man's guide. Numerous Founders accepted the Deistic view of God being in control of Nature (or what Thomas Jefferson called "Nature's God"). The truth is that we shouldn't be a theocracy of course, but even man's reason can be imperfect. Therefore, we should have legitimate boundaries in our conduct in order for society to function properly. Many descendants of the Jacobites went into America (including English and Scottish Freemasons) to support the American Revolution and end the British monarchy's overt control over the colonies. One reason for this is that Masonry and secret societies hated the Monarchs for their authoritarian rule over the masses. The Monarchs locked up and even killed people if they expressed an alternative viewpoint. Frankly, all human beings have the freedom of conscience and the freedom to believe in whatever creed they desire. The Protestant Hanoverian dynasty became firmly entrenched in Great Britain following the deposition in 1688 of King James II who had converted to Catholicism. Today, Freemasonry supports their landmarks as pronounced by Albert G. Mackey. Mackey was a Secretary General of the Supreme Council of the Ancient and Accepted Rite for the Southern Jurisdiction of the United States. There has been a debate on the Knights Templar connection. The Knights Templars were warrior priests that protected pilgrims to the Holy Land. As being active to fight Muslims during the Crusades, the Knights Templars controlled for a time in the Holy Land (Yes, they settled in Jerusalem for a time). They became rich by their international banking organization. The Papacy accused them of moral degeneration and other crimes. They were persecuted and gone by the 14th century. Freemasonry mimics some of the Knights Templar organization in some of their groups today. Albert Pike said that the Templars centuries ago overtly acted as Roman Catholic, but covertly believed in Johannism (or an esoteric view).
