Leaked Memo

Another leaked memo, the recent first of which did nothing to help the president’s efforts in the Middle East and this newest of which leads me to believe that the reputation for not tolerating dissent is definitely spread about, like manure upon farmland. A recommendation that policy be changed may have been a layoff opportunity or a retirement opportunity. I think the point here is to accept the fact that change is needed
and Mr. Secretary is also in favor of this idea whose time has come.

It is necessary to forward peace at every opportunity. The positioning of more units on borders, thus dividing up your force into thirds does not point to peace because this movement would open more possibility of encounters. Divide and conquer, the old saying applies to talk as well as physical action, does it not? Dividing your force into fragments may be a dangerous thing to do. There’s safety in numbers, ho ho ho Happy Holidays.

Another point for consideration are the arms dealer nations, like the USA, the Russians, the Chinese and who else? The arms brokers need to be talked about and some questions answered like the lucrative arms sales agreements between nations and other such econo-political agreements. Review the financial feasibility of continuance and possibly the dangers of such draining agreements. Possibly the totals garnered through such deals and who is capitalizing on war should be revealed for moral scrutiny at the United Nations.

Refugee costs are mounting and this must be studied in order to make an effective settlement in the Middle East. The countries that took in Palestinians and Iraquis should have consideration. The value of vacant land now is what the land is worth and the value of the land must have consideration. People cannot be dispossessed and another taking their former place and not expect opposition? This is a long lived conflict why not make it another 100 years war? Get real. None of so many of us caused this hassle, which should also be of consideration. Happy New Year and the Christians can pray for peace anew as the solstice dims our daylight and we glower inside caves with a fire burning a piece of the sun god keep us warm.

Research Opportunities

A Research Opportunity


An analysis reveals the lack of an idea
To halt the conflict between Israel and Palestine
I will address this need to negotiate
But data must be gathered
In order to understand the faceted universe
Of conflict.

This data must be assembled and fashioned
Into a short report understandable
To the entire body.
An open forum add to the categories
Avoiding emotional involvement
Cater to facts.

Each forum must be composed of members
Representing all parties
All religions
Literate learned individuals
Scientists and scholars
Fair individuals who sign an oath
To report unbiased

Data categories to research:
Ancient history
History 20th century to present
The original establishment of Israel document
Palestinian representation in legal decisions concerning them
United Nations Actions
Present human conditions in Palestine and Israel
Palestinian refugees costs and reparations to host countries
Open ended list…..

Tech Power

Out of study of the past
A future emerges
A vision for the Earth
Nationalism component parts
Contributing creativity
All we have
Is our raw brainpower
And experiments begun
45,000 years past
Built up our population
Rich energy source
And our intelligence
Created technology
That now must transcend
Known applications
And terran environments
To utilize a new source
Of elements
To make what we need.
The tech is to make energy
Rather than just collect
We mine elements instead
Let us work together
To achieve rather than destroy.

Instead of War

We see life through moments rather than eons, leaving us unschooled if we do not possess an information storage system. Capitalizing on assets has led us to great heights in material civilization as the product of our amazing information and retrieval systems, the spectacular economic setups that enable the creation of architecture and distribution systems that will sustain an ever growing population….so what is wrong about this picture? It is that we have unprecedented control over our physical environment in a short term as we approach the end of the mining era and the beginning of the recycling era that will ensure the survivability of some portion of the population in this finite world.

Our current technology does not save us from being beholden to the same forces that have ruled last populations through potentially deadly climatic and resource availability changes. Our mining has exacerbated a climate shift towards the warmer in many areas of the world, such that permafrost is melting and the Antarctic is calving icebergs at a high rate as compared to other times. Listen that this climate change is not uniform throughout the Earth. We do have the ability to lessen our influence on the climate voluntarily or will eventually be forced to disengage this behavior when petroleum mining lacks success.

Let us hope the new energy technology will be less obtrusive to our environment by not poisoning us as well as continuing to bestow the wonderful benefits of cheap energy. It has been thus far easier to discover new mines than to reuse, but that has already been changing since the 1960s when scrapyards became respectable. The market for scrap steel is lucrative for somebody and cornering the market might make more money than the metal items produced. Saving on raw materials is the wave of the future and will be required when the population reaches saturation in terms of numbers related to the use of raw materials and produced food resources. It comes a time when impoverishment is related to the number of humans per unit of sustainability or societal adjustments will occur where a few control resources for the many while skimming a good living off the top for themselves.

A new source for energy must be developed or our civilization I hold in such high regard will perish. We cannot continue to see life in moments. We must do long term planning and immediate research. Government and private money must fund research and must not neglect researching social issues related to overpopulation and resource waste patterns and the avenues to the goal of less consumption per individual as the number of individuals rises.

So harvest with solar rolling threshers and plant with solar plows and utilize more hand labor, reversing a trend of fewer hands for more work begun in the machine age drawing to a close if alternative energy sources or locations are not successful. How cheap could items be made in free fall? Why should delivery be instant, instead drifting in a long spiron to Earth during a weeks long trip in a collapsible container that can be reorbited and reused? Just think of the raw materials, intense solar and plenty silica to build housing and hydroponics to feed the teeming Earth. How about small atomic power plants for launchers and personal transportation?

Why not fund research into atomic energy? Why not work together to achieve science and free fall business and an international city on the moon? Why all these wars instead of cooperation for the good of all? Remember Nero fiddling while Rome burned? Are we that foolish?
