Ideological Enemy President Vladimir Putin

"We do not have the right to forget the causes of any war, which must be sought in the mistakes and errors of peacetime. Moreover, in our time, these threats are not diminishing [in U.S. foreign policy]. They are only transforming, changing their appearance. In these new threats - as during the time of the Third Reich - are the same contempt for human life and the same claims of exceptionality and diktat in the world." - Vladimir Putin


President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin

Comment by Boris Tiraspolsky:
By linking America's foreign policy to the Third Reich, president Putin sounds more like his ideological friends president  Ahmadinejad, president Chavez, and president Asad, who blindly hate the United States. President of a free country should respect and support another free country combating Terrorism. Is the Russian Federation still free country the United States can rely on in battle with Terror?  I do not think so.

Solving the Problem of Illegal Immigration...

“We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking
we used when we created them.” - 
 Albert Einstein
 

After recent clash between police and illegal immigrants protestesting in L. A.
this question does not sound as just a theoretical possibility, anymore.
_____________________________________

Solving the Problem of Illegal Immigration American Way...

There are generally two ways in solving problems one can exercise in this replete with problems time of battle with Terror. The most common, and widely accepted way is by quickly fixing one problem to trigger another one, and continue to resolve a new problem get into even a bigger trouble. Does that sound familiar? Ironically, some bureaucratic minds call that “learning from mistakes“, continue making new, and new bigger ones.
 
An opposite to the described above counter productive dealing with problems is a creative “American way”. The latter fundamentally differs from fixing deeply rooted problems on a surface, leading the Nation to slouching into abyss. “American way” is the way of solving problems by creating an open field of opportunities for all involved parties in a conflict. And the more opportunities are created the better solution to the problem is.
 
Illegal immigrants are everywhere...



East Coast...



West Coast...



L.A....



Florida...



Texas...


 
Illegal immigrants are in millions all over the United States...  For the last two decades illegal immigration in the United States has grown into an unmanageable National problem of a Biblical proportion. At this point no one really knows how many illegal immigrants are in the country! The numbers vary from a conservative official estimate of 11 million to unofficial number of more then 20 million. In reality, the total figure of illegal immigrants most likely is much greater than the official estimate.

Even at a time of peace the illegal immigration of a such gigantic scale is a perilous political, economic, social, and cultural development. At a time of total terrorist warfare and imminent threat of terrorist attacks with Weapons of Mass Destruction on the American soil, illegal immigration has become a matter of National security and literally threatening survival of the United States. Let’s not make mistake about that! 
 
The truth of the matter is that millions of illegal immigrants, who have no assets and entirely depend on the well functioning U.S. National Economy may become deprived of every day taking advantage of it instantly in battle with Terror on the American soil at any point. Consequently, the huge crowd of hungry and distraught people illegally residing on the territory of the United States may turn into countless number of spontaneous groups of looters, robbers, attackers, and organized criminals fighting for food, water, energy supply, and the power to control most lavish territories. 

This National chain reaction of horrors is not a Hollywood type movie production. It is a very real scenario of battle with Terror on the American soil. It only awaits a trigger of Weapons of Mass Destruction discharged by terrorists in one or more heavily populated areas of the country. This scenario is precisely what our enemies anticipate with a provoked “civil unrest" against the U.S. Government following a “spectacular” terrorist attack causing even temporarily malfunction of the U.S. National Economy.
  
One must be realistic in predictions of future battle with Terror on the American soil. In the most likely occur situation, the entire existing U.S. Law Enforcement, National Guards, and U.S. Military combined will not be able to control millions of up in arms illegal immigrants. In other words, the only solution to this grown out of any proportion problem is to provide steady legal economic opportunities for illegal immigrants already residing on the territory of the United States without rewarding them for braking the U.S. Law.

Technically speaking, it could be done by making the Initial Call for Mobilization of the Nation in battle with Terror on the American soil. (Read more...) As an integral part of the Initial Call, the U.S. Government - the Congress and the President - need to legally establish a well regulated U.S. anti-terrorist Labor Force necessary for building modern fortifications to protect the United States from terrorist attacks and sustaining the U.S. National Economy at the time of the War on Terror.

Participating in the U.S. anti-terrorist Labor Force must be a mandatory for all immigrants illegally residing in the country. It should be established under auspices of and military control by Army Corps of Engineers. Dodging to participate in the Labor Force must become legal grounds for deportation from the United States with no rights to return. On the contrary, creative contributions and hard work should be generously rewarded and eventually - in 5 years - lead to a permanent residency in the United States.

The U.S. ant-terrorist Labor Force needs to be provided with equal and steady economic opportunities to participate in all anti-terrorist National Projects. The most urgent of them are related to building all sorts of modern fortifications in order to secure U.S. Borders and protect populations of American cities, towns, and villages against imminent terrorist attacks in the future, turning the United States into anti-terrorist Country-Citadel. (Read more... ) The U.S. anti-terrorist Labor Force will also become instrumental in initiating and establishing the war time corresponding U.S. National Economy of Basic Necessities. (Read more...)

The made out of illegal immigrants U.S. anti-terrorist Labor Force must be professionally trained to repair any economic damages - local, regional, national - that could be inflicted by terrorist attacks with conventional weapons and Weapons of Mass Destruction. There is no doubt, that turning millions illegal immigrants from a potentially violent unruly crowd into creative well regulated U.S. anti-terrorist Labor Force is not an easy, yet the most vital strategic tasks in battle with Terror on the American soil.

Endorsing values of Islamic jihadists

"Ideological Collaborator with Enemy is a category of Ethics and Esthetics."
Definition of Ideological Collaborator with Enemy


"Useful Art" of the Cold War anti-communist poster -
just change the word "Communism" for the word "Islamism"
_______________________________

Old-new "politically incorrect" vocabulary

Expressions "collaborator with enemy" and “ideological enemy” are not very common in a “politically correct” vocabulary currently used in the United States. Anyone pointing out at "collaborators with enemy" and/or  “ideological enemies” takes a great deal of risk to be accused in “neo-McCarthyism” and all other “deadly” “politically incorrect” sins. However, the Nation does have a true ideological opponent. It is Terrorism and associated with the Ideology of Terror - Islamic jihad. 

Everyone in America learns that according to the First Amendment of the Constitution of the United States the Government cannot create or inhibit religion. The Government cannot ban most types of speech, restrict the press. The Government cannot stop people from gathering peacefully, or prohibit citizens from asking the Government for reform. These are “blessings of Liberty” every American enjoys.

In the contrast, the Ideology of Terror, and in particular the Ideology of the Islamic jihadists inhibits all religions, but own believes, whatever those believes are. Islamic jihadists categorically prohibit free speech, but expressions of own views, and totally restricts all free, but only permitted by them press. They forbid any gatherings of people, but those who support them.  

Needles to stress, that adepts  of the Ideology of Terror coming to Power, the way it happened in the former USSR in 1917 and in the Nazi Germany in 1934, establish regimes that cannot be reformed, whatsoever. These regimes can only be totally destroyed as the Nazi Germany, or collapse as the former USSR.

The United States happened to be the very last barrier on Islamic jihadists’ way to become the only existing World Power. In order to achieve their strategic goals, terrorists need to deteriorate the will of the Nation to fight Terrorism. For that very reason terrorists utilize a “smart” strategic weaponry - ideologically charged suicide bomber, intending to use conventional and non-conventional weapons aimed at the U.S. civilian population. (Read more...)

For the very same reason Islamic jihadists utilize the Ideology of Terror historically proven to be very effective Instrument of an oppression. They plan to provoke in minds of the U.S. population all sinister manifestations of Terror: fear, panic, anxiety, shock, fright, scare in order to conclusively brake the will of the Nation to withstand Terror, and finally achieve terrorist’s objectives of becoming the only existing Power in the World. 

It is erroneous to be ideologically “neutral” in the War on Terrorism without indirectly and/or directly endorsing wicked “values” of Islamic jihadists. Therefore, the U.S. civilian population must learn how to actively refuse to go along with the Ideology of Terror in any forms and shapes. It does require a strong National Character, and this is a historic Mission of the Nation. 

Terrorism, or rather Islamic jihad is an adamant ideological challenger of the free and sovereign Nation. Therefore, one of the main purposes for establishing U.S. Civilian Self-Defense (Read more...) is for the entire population of the United States to become prepared mentally and physically to resist Islamic jihad and above all to defy ominous ideological manifestations of Terror. (Read more...)  

There is no doubt that it is categorically wrong to be “open minded” by appeasing terrorists, regardless of their believes. All those who by any reason cry off to say “no” to the War on Terrorism, all those who obey the evil will of Islamic jihadists, all those who allow their minds to surrender to corrupt demands of Terror are de facto ideological collaborators with enemy and consequently, enemies of the Nation.

Random Thoughts about Terrorist Warfare

"There is an urgent call to form a “union” between “political Science” and “useful Arts” in part of means and material of new National Strategy and Instruments and Forces necessary for implementation of it.
Twilight of the Nation

 

Random Thoughts about Terrorist Warfare


Modern terrorist warfare is unconventional siege warfare with omnipresent battle chaotically outspread and fragmented on unconventional battlefield equal to the entire planet with a center everywhere and circumference nowhere. (Read more...)

In simple words, modern terrorist warfare is Global War between two ideologically opposed grouping of States and their populations: one group is sponsoring terrorists, propagating “proxy wars” on unconventional battlefield with a usage of conventional and unconventional weapons, and another group is combating Terrorism by all available Instruments and Forces.

Modern terrorist warfare is uncompromising ideological struggle with irreconcilable ideological enemy by using conventional and unconventional means, including. but not limited to Ideological Weaponry (Read more...), Economic Weaponry (Read more...), and Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Battle of modern terrorist warfare has no limitations in time, topography, operational means, yet, clear strategic objectives “by hook or by crook” slowly but surely to exhaust all human and economic resources of enemy on either side, and finally, brake enemy’s Will to do battle. 

Modern terrorist warfare is total Global War against terrorist-aggressors with an unprecedented united effort of Governments and populations of anti-terrorist States to survive battle with inevitable usage of conventional and unconventional weapons by terrorists having no historic record of being ever totally defeated. 

Conducting modern anti-terrorist warfare with only currently available Instruments and Forces of Military, Intelligence, and Law Enforcement is like going to “all-you-can-eat” restaurant with a naive belief that you can eat it all.

In a final analysis, modern terrorist warfare appears to be a new way of life that the Nation has to accept and endure for centuries ahead, and for a sake of own survival adjust to this new Reality of total World War all political, economic, social, and cultural Institutions. (Read more...)

False sense of Security

"The tragedy of the Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 was a direct cause of the overwhelming “false sense of Security” in the United States at that time."


Pearl Harbor Day - December 7, 1941
________________________________________________

New danger of false sense of Security in America
Remembering Pearl Harbor Day - December 7, 1941
by Boris Tiraspolsky 

The United States have been a “save heaven” for all living here since the end of the World War II. The Principle of “domestic Tranquility” is established and ordained by the U.S. Constitution and imprinted in the American Psyche. It is one of the most significant values for all who are called a “general population” of the United States.
 
“Domestic Tranquility” is a necessary modus operandi for the Time of Peace. However, taking "domestic Tranquility" for granted happens to be the main cause of a widespread denial of a lethal danger of Terrorism in minds of the U.S. general population.

Thus, since February 26, 1993 rapidly and imperceptibly traditional American “domestic Tranquility” has been transformed into a false sense of Security. The latter is the most painful item in accounts of many historical transgressions.

Needless to remind, that the tragedy of the Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 was a direct cause of the overwhelming “false sense of Security” in the United States at that time. The “false sense of Security” was the major contributor to a gap in the U.S. National Security missing early stages of detection and prevention the tragic events of the September 11, 2001 in the United States. 

The true nature of the “false sense of Security” is laying in shifting personal responsibilities on a someone else: local Authorities, Federal Government, another expert, and etc.

There is no doubt, that it is more trouble-free to involve yourself in “the Pursuit of Happiness”, then to pledge your own Life, your own Fortune to preserve, protect, and defend Life and Liberty of your fellow Americans, and consequently your own. 

Modern terrorist warfare calls for an active and responsible participation of the civilian population. Under no circ-umstances the population should become paranoid about terrorists supposedly hiding around every corner and behind every bush. 

On the other hand, a “make believe” that everything is and/or will be “fine“, and someone else miraculously will take care of the problem with Terrorism, or terrorists somehow will fade away by themselves is a typical manifestation of the “false sense of Security“. Moreover, it is an invitation to a greater danger. That needs to be realized by the American people.

Battle against Terror on the American soil is not just a fight of the U.S. Government with terrorists. Although, the role of the Government, the military, law enforcement and intelligence naturally increases at a wartime. It is long term battle of the entire Nation with may be a narrow, but realistic choice: either a partial survival, or total devastation by terrorists.

Mechanism of Shariah finance

Ideological Awareness of the Nation in Battle

"Ideology is a paramount in practical wisdom and profundity of a society."



Ideological awareness - knowledge of Good and Evil
_________________________

Servants and Consumers of Ideology

Ideology is a corner stone of any recognizable Civilization. The original meaning of the word “ideology” is “the Science of ideas and ideals“. Ideology specifically identifies practical usage of ideas that originate from the Progress of human Ethics - principles of moral conduct, and Esthetics - perception of beauty and ugliness. Needless to stress that both, Ethics and Esthetics are literally shaping a civilized society. 

Men are ideological creatures. They either serve Ideology, or consume it. “Servants” of Ideology are usually philosophers, thinkers, economists, writers, poets, political and spiritual leaders of the Nation, and etc. “Servants” of Ideology also include art and literally scholars, creative artists in visual and Performing Arts, turning their works into ideologically charged “useful Arts“. 

There is nothing wrong or inferior to be a “consumer” of Ideology, and make practical use of ethically righteous ideas and ideals produced by great minds of the Mankind. There is a great privilege to be a connoisseur of ideologically charged “useful Arts” created by talented contemporary artists, as well as great artists of the past, conveying noble ideas and ideals of humanity in their works. 

It is true that one does not have to be a scientist in physics to use electricity, or an engineer to drive a car. The same is with Ideology. No one is required to be a philosopher, thinker, writer, or an artist to greatly enjoy and benefit from Ethics and Esthetics historically established and excepted by people as ideas and ideals of a society. However, there is no such thing as “natural instinct”, effortlessly bringing ideological awareness to everyone on a golden plate.

Ideology is a paramount in practical wisdom and profundity of a society. It goes without saying, that no one can read books before learning the alphabet, first. Who said that Ideology being the top cultural achievement, comes naturally for everyone without learning the “ABC” of Ethics - principles of moral conduct (or lack of it!), and Esthetics - perception (or lack of it!) of beauty and ugliness, governing and forming a complex modern society, then? 

Everybody knows that no cultural knowledge can be ever obtained without a hard, persistent work from men‘s part. There is no secret that it takes years and years to study and perfect foreign languages, or learn how to play musical instruments, for instance. Why don’t people realize that in many instances to obtain ideological awareness by an individual is even more difficult and slower process?

The “Science of ideas and ideals” is a totally cultural phenomena, and therefore, requires an enormous effort to be accepted, understood, and implemented in people’s every day life. There is no productive and healthy development of a society without a serious ideological exertion by many. Needles to mention that true and vivid ideological awareness of many becomes ideological awareness of entire Nation vital at a time of Peace and a must at a time of War. 

Historically, the American people are predominately “consumers” of the Ideology of the Supreme Law of the Land - the Constitution of the United States. However, even the greatest most powerful ideas and ideals of the Constitution taken for granted may grow to be flat, loose their touch with Reality, and sense of Destiny in minds of people, leading to the failure of the civilization to survive.

The ideas and ideals of the Constitution taken for granted by many people is one of the fundamental ideological problems that ought be addressed and dealt with. It is an extremely difficult, but imperative endeavor. For the People of the United States ideological awareness begins at a very moment of a striking recognition of a true meaning of own life, as much greater then just personal “persuade of happiness“, and therefore, a necessity of defining and reshaping own character according to this noble revelation. (Read more...)

Ideological awareness of the Nation is critical at the current “crisis of human affairs“ when Islamic jihadists waged a total war against the United States. Ideological struggle with Islamic jihadists intending to replace ideas and ideals of the Constitution of the United States with the Ideology of the Islamic Law, requires unprecedented ideological strength of and contribution from every American Citizen. Ideological awareness of the American people is a must condition in order to maintain the Will of the Nation to resist our irreconcilable Enemy.

The Global War on Terror is the time when the American people need to become ideologically aware of the Nation’s Historic Mission: practically “to form a more perfect Union“. This is the time of ideological transfiguration passive “consumers” into active National Characters pledging own lives and own fortune in responsibility to “preserve, protect and defend“ the most precious ideas and ideals of the Constitution of the United States. (Read more...)

Both, “servants” and “consumers” of Ideology are equally invaluable for the ideologically mature Nation at a time of battle with Terror. It is absolutely wrong and potentially dangerous to disregard neither of them on the Historic Stage. Total ideological awareness of the Nation is the only way to prevent the practical “Science of ideas and ideals” from turning into a dry compilation of rigid dogmas and generalizations lacking necessary creativity for the vital Progress of human Ethics and Esthetics.

Secure anti-terrorist shelters for U.S. population

In the 1970s Richard Buckminster Fuller doc-umented the feasibility of a geodesic dome two miles in diameter that would enclose mid-town Manhattan in a temperature-controlled environment, and pay for itself within ten years from the savings of snow-removal costs alone.This extraordinary futuristic project never came to fruition. However, even Buckminster Fuller could not imagine that due to an unparalleled strength, efficiency and the relatively low cost of geodesic domes they could be utilized as secure shelters against the Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD): nuclear, biological, chemical, both as ground and underground units. Richard Buckminster Fuller would have been very surprised to learn that his great architectural discovery of the geodesic dome is capable of saving millions of lives, and may save our Civilization in the 21st century. (Read more...)


Geodesic dome that would enclose an entire American town
_________________________________ 

How Could We Save Manhattan With a Geodesic Dome?

Concept by Boris Tiraspolsky in cooperation with Louis Pokorny
 
Any high density populated area is likely to be a target for Terrorists using Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) against population. The Island of Manhattan in New York City always has been and always will be an integral part of evil plans by people with "evil thoughts". Manhattan is the most desirable target for Terrorists. And Terrorists always accomplish their evil plans. All of us should keep this historical truth in our minds. 

From a strategic point of view, there are three general types of high density populated areas, based on their locations:

        • An open field, or an area that has no obstacles or/and natural limitations for evacuation;
        • A partially opened field, or an area that has at least one obstacle or/and a natural limitation for evacuation;
        • A closed field, or an area that has only obstacles or/and natural limitation for evacuation.        

Manhattan represents a classical example of "closed field" for evacuation. It is a high density populated area. And at the same time Manhattan is an island with a limited number of entrances and exits that could be utilized for escape of the population in a "worst case scenario". There are only eight bridges (George Washington Bridge with its connections to the Fort Lee, NJ and Bronx, NY could be counted as "two" bridges), and four tunnels available as escape routes from Manhattan. Just three bridges connecting Manhattan with the "main" land have double decks. Regardless of the situation all these routes are extremely sluggish and sometimes totally congested. It happens every morning and evening rush hour. Therefore, in the situation of being attacked with WMD the Island of Manhattan will inevitably become a trap to millions of people living and working there.

The War on Terrorism is a new type of War. It is the War with no Rules of Engagement and no mercy. It is the War of the Evil against the Good. However, we all must realize that we are not dealing with a few disengaged "nuts". We are dealing with a new type of extremely dangerous Military Force. If at some point Terrorists find a way to use WMD against our population they not hesitate to do that. And Manhattan is a number one target on their list. Therefore, an old fashion Strategic Concept of building reliable underground bomb shelters at the same location must be abandoned as an outdated and useless one, unless someone wants to commit suicide and be trapped in a Zone of Direct Impact (ZDI) with Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD).

Needless to repeat, there is no return to a "status quo" after an explosion of WMD. In the "worst case scenario" Manhattan will be the ZDI, and   will not be livable anymore after an explosion of the WMD. A survived population must be relocated to a Permanent Secure Zone (PSZ). However, evacuation of up to10 million people from Manhattan to a PSZ within a reasonable amount of time, which is counted by minutes and not even by hours after an explosion of the WMD, does not seem possible either.

In spite of the described above "gloom and doom" scenario, there is a way to defend and save Manhattan from possible attacks by Terrorists with conventional arms, and in particular those with WMD. In order to" preserve, protect and defend" the population living in the New York City one must turn the Island of Manhattan into an impregnable "fortress". This could be done by creating a number of smaller impregnable "fortresses" on the territory of Manhattan. 

Every "fortress" must be enclosed with an appropriately-sized geodesic dome. Each "fortress" must become a secure and controlled environment: with its own independent air, water, energy, food supply and entertainment. All "fortresses" must be physically connected with each other by a number of controlled and secure passages for pedestrians and their means of transportation. Such double controlled environment applied in the "fortresses" should be save enough for the population of Manhattan. However, if one or a few of the "fortresses" were to be directly attacked by Terrorists with the WMD, survivors from these "fortresses" would be safely evacuated into all other "fortresses". And in the "worst of the worst case scenarios",: failure to provide security for at least half of the "fortresses", all survivors will have enough time to be evacuated to a Permanent Secure Zone (PSZ) away from Manhattan.





12 Impregnable "Fortresses" on the Island of Manhattan

Below are 12 suggested divisions of the Island of Manhattan created by enclosing them with 12 geodesic domes of up to 2 miles each in diameter:

                              • Fortress of the Lower Manhttan - Financial District;

                              • Fortress of China Town, Little Italy and SoHo;

                              • Fortress of. the Greenwich Village and East Village;

                              • Fortress of the 14 St.-34 St.;

                              • Fortress of the Midtown: 34 St.- 59 St.;

                              • Fortress of the Upper East Side: East 59 St. - East 96 St.;

                              • Fortress of the Central Park;

                              • Fortress of the Upper West Side: West 59 St. - West 96 St.;

                              • Fortress of the Harlem;

                              • Fortress of the West 96 St. - West 125 St.;

                              • Fortress of the West 125 St. - West 165 St.;

                              • Fortress of the Uptown - Washington Heights and Inwood.

Anyone who is involved in a military Strategy knows that no matter how strong and impregnable a fortress could be, there is always a chance of being defeated by an Enemy and to loose or surrender a fortress. In order to avoid a total annihilation of the population of Manhattan we need to plan a long term hideaways. Such hideaways or rather a network of secure units are supposed to be at some location in a Secure Zone and at least 150 miles away from the Island of Manhattan somewhere in upstate New York.

The network of secure shelters should be built in advance and in parallel to building the "fortresses" of Manhattan. They should be using geodesic domes as a general architectural design skillfully adapted to the  needs of surviving population. The shelters should reflect the closest as possible quality of life to ground "fortresses" of Manhattan. All units should be connected with each other by tunnels for pedestrians, and all necessary means of transportation  They also should be using  the same principles of independent supply of air, water, energy, food and entertainment for each unit. Minimum accommodations in these shelters should be at the level of 10% of the total population of the State of New York.

Savior of American Cities and Towns

American, architect, engineer, mathematician, poet, cosmologist, and innovator Richard Buckminster Fuller offered to the Humanity his great concept and practical implementation of a geodesic dome in 1940s. But this American genius never suspected that his invaluable invention can literally save the World Civilization. And this statement is not an exaggeration. 


Geodesic Dome
_____________________________

Geodesic Dome - Shelter Against Terrorist Attacks with
Conventional Weapons and Weapons of Mass Destruction 
Concept by Boris Tiraspolsky in cooperation with Louis Pokorny 

Introduction

Historical formation of modern  Towns and expanded out of them Cities is based on a concept of a better security for a population. Old Europe being a Historic Stage of incessant wars during the last millennium developed an architectural design of a Town being surrounded by a few rows of high walls with towers. It is called a "town-fortress". The general structure of all old European Towns still reflects the needs for security of population looking for protection against the "evil" forces of invasion in the past.

All these "watch towers", "east", "west", "south" and "north walls", "canals", "bridges", all divisions on "downtown", "midtown" and "uptown", along with narrow passages of streets are live rudiments of fortifications of a "town-fortress" in the past. There is another typical detail in the design of a historic part of a European Town: every house was always built as a small "fortress" of its own. And every house in a Town was a small "castle".

The paramount concept of security in a Town was always a Castle of the Sovereign. The very best location for a Castle of the Sovereign was on a high hill or a cliff. It was a separate impregnable fortress with the highest walls in a Town, independent supply of provision and additional shelter for people. A Castle of Sovereign had secret passages for an escape of survivors in case "of worst case scenario": the Town would be conquered by invaders.



The concept of a "town-fortress" is one of the most important and successful  political, economic, social and cultural developments of our Civilization. Without a "town-fortress" we would have not ever seen the great arts of ancient Greece and Rome. Without a "town-forces" we would have never experienced the beauty and Spirit of Medieval and Renaissance. Without a "town-fortress" we would have not had development of our Universities, many of our Trades and Arts, and especially Performing Arts. Without a "town-fortress" a majority of European Nations would have never been united as Nations. Without a "town-fortress" the History of our Civilization could have literally ceased to exist a long time ago.

The History of the United States has been a History of a "natural fortress". The United States have been always reliably protected with the "walls" of  the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. We, Americans, were fortunate! We always have felt secure and not regarded to "town-fortresses" for our own population on our own soil. Alas! This infant time of a "natural fortress" is over!

In the beginning of the 21 century we, Americans, have become as vulnerable as the European population before development of a concept of "town-fortress". The only difference is that our whole Country is under attack, and every Town and City is a target for a Weapon of Mass Destruction. Moreover, our Enemy is not interested in anything smaller then a total annihilation of our population.

An extreme situation of the War on Terrorism demands to take extraordinary and unprecedented steps in protecting our Country and in particular, our Towns and Cities with a high density population. We must turn each and every Town and City in the United States into an impregnable "town-fortress" in order to save ourselves, our Civilization, and the "Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity".

Using the architectural design of a geodesic dome that would enclose our Towns in a controlled environment, and utilizing geodesic domes as a network of both ground and underground bomb shelters against the Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) seems to be the only possible way to save our cultural and technological treasures, historic sites, and most important, high density, populated urban areas against the barbaric forces of Terrorism. A large sized geodesic dome developed by the genius mind of Richard Buckminster Fuller is a Savior of modern Towns and Cities. 


Richard Buckminster Fuller (1895-1983)

Architectural Design of a Geodesic Dome by Richard Buckminster Fuller

"R. Buckminster Fuller spent much of the early 20th Century looking for ways to improve human shelter by:

              • Applying modern technological know-how to shelter construction.

              • Making shelter more comfortable and efficient.

              • Making shelter more economically available to a greater number of people."

"Buckminster Fuller’s efforts focused on the problem of how to build a shelter which is so lightweight, it can be delivered by air. Shelter should be mobile which would require great breakthroughs in the weight-reduction of the materials. Technology would have to follow nature’s design as seen by the spider’s web which can float in a hurricane because of its high strength-to-weight ratio. New shelter would have to be designed that incorporates these principles and that was Fuller’s intent."

Geodesic Dome Structure


   
"One of the ways Buckminster Fuller would describe the differences in strength between a rectangle and a triangle would be to apply pressure to both structures. The rectangle would fold up and be unstable but the triangle withstands the pressure and is much more rigid–in fact the triangle is twice as strong. This principle directed his studies toward creating a new architectural design, the geodesic dome, based also upon his idea of "doing more with less." Buckminster Fuller discovered that if a spherical structure was created from triangles, it would have unparalleled strength. The sphere uses the "doing more with less" principle in that it encloses the largest volume of interior space with the least amount of surface area thus saving on materials and cost. Fuller reintroduced the idea that when the sphere’s diameter is doubled it will quadruple its square footage and produce eight times the volume.

The spherical structure of a dome is one of the most efficient interior atmospheres for human dwellings because air and energy are allowed to circulate without obstruction. This enables heating and cooling to occur naturally. Geodesic shelters have been built all around the world in different climates and temperatures and still they have been proven to be the most efficient human shelter one can find."
  
Later in the 1970s Richard Buckminster Fuller documented the feasibility of a geodesic dome two miles in diameter that would enclose mid-town Manhattan in a temperature-controlled environment, and pay for itself within ten years from the savings of snow-removal costs alone.This extraordinary futuristic project never came to fruition. However, even Buckminster Fuller could not imagine that due to an unparalleled strength, efficiency and the relatively low cost of geodesic domes they could be utilized as Bomb Shelters against the Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD): nuclear, biological, chemical, both as ground and underground units. Richard Buckminster Fuller would have been very surprised to learn that his great architectural discovery of the geodesic dome is capable of saving millions of lives and may save our Civilization in the 21st century.

FEMA's erroneous partnership

"What price is our government paying for allowing Islamic Relief, a Muslim extremist group, to get involved as a “partner” to the government, when it comes to natural disasters, be it Katrina, California wildfires or anything else? And what price are we as Americans going to pay in the end? The American public must demand answers from FEMA, because it is obvious that FEMA, a division of Homeland Security, will not seek them on its own."

American Islamic Hamas Relief
By Joe Kaufman 

Last month, this author exposed how the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), a group tied to the financing of Hamas, has been “partnering” with the Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA), a branch of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), claiming to be providing aid to those affected by Hurricane Katrina and the California wildfires. It has now been learned that another group said to be linked to Hamas, Islamic Relief, also has a working relationship with FEMA. Question: Has our government placed American disaster assistance into the hands of an overseas terrorist group? Continued...

Twilight of the Nation

"Twilight - a condition or period following full development of glory."
New Webster’s Dictionary of the English Language


Visiual "useful Art" by Claude Monet's Venice Twilight of 1908

Just take a look at the painting by the great French impressionist:
there is a rich life, bright colors, vivid reflections, and true Beauty in Twilight.

Twilight of the Nation

Call for a Union of Political Science and “useful Arts”


The very name “Twilight of the Nation” may provoke reminiscences of the work by Oswald Spengler (1880-1936) The Decline of the West. Let me make it clear - it has no relations to the pessimistic concept by Spengler. On the contrary, I use this term as an opposite to the idea of the final stage of existence of Human Culture. I do think that nothing is “final” in Human Culture and infinite opportunities that come with it.

Meanwhile, it is hard but quite necessary for a Human Mind to accept, that literally everything that grows and expands has to come to the Natural End at some point. For some things it takes a longer time, for some it takes a shorter period. And there is no escape or an exception from this Law of the Universe. The very same Law effects life of all Nations being political, economic, social and cultural Unions. The United States of America is not an exception from this merciless Law either.

Political, economic, and social Unions do fall down. However, before they do, they get into Twilight, first. Twilight is an integral part of a development of any Nation. Nations are born, they grow, develop, transform, and then they enter Twilight. Dramatic alterations in life of the Nation that inevitably come with Twilight may seem to some as an upheaval of the Biblical proportion. It is partially true, especially for those Nations that are not prepared to meet ideological and economic challenges of Twilight.

Twilight unfolds with the following classic scenario. A Nation gets into long term War it cannot win decisively. Then, the Nation becomes besieged by enemies outside and growing split and opposition to the War and Government inside. The Nation exhausts all available ideological and economic resources. A victim of own past Glory the Nation comes to a point of no return. It cannot hold existing Union anymore and falls down. Then, it disappears from the Historical Stage.

Where are magnificent Unions of ancient Greece, and Rome? Where are many other great Unions before and after them? Some left just traces of their presence in Science and Arts. Some completely vanished in historical oblivion. As a general rule, they all got in Twilight, first, and they all gone then!

Some may say that there are no historical precedents of Nations that were able to endure Twilight. Therefore, it may seem impossible to get in Twilight and still stay alive as a Union. In spite of all complexity that comes with Twilight, it is not necessarily the end of the road for a Nation. I am not saying that to make my reader “feel good“. There is everlasting life in Twilight! It is a quite different life. Therefore, the Nation needs to get prepared for it in “minds and hearts” of people before it is too late.

Preparations for Twilight include urgent development of means and material of new National Strategy, and what equally important is developing innovative Ideological and Economic Instruments along with training Force to implement that Strategy of survival in Twilight. The problem, however, is that intellectual shaping and reshaping of the National Strategy is totally usurped by so called “political Science“ in America.

“Political Science” in the United States is a very competitive, and it demands highly qualified professionals. There is no a secret that only a lengthy and elaborate doctoral degree is a pass to become a professional in the field of “political Science“. However, with all due respect to analytical abilities of political pundits in the United States, they never had interest in creating new National Instruments and training new National Forces.

Development of Ideological and Economic Instruments and training appropriate Forces necessary to endure Twilight could be an integral part of “useful Arts” historically dealing with implementation of Ideas. Alas! “Useful Arts” practically abandoned and/or ignored by political experts with doctoral degree, unless “useful Arts” serve immediate interests and exploited by policy makers: speech writings, political ads, political shows, and etc.

The distinct difference between “political Science” and “useful Arts” could be compared with a difference between a text of written play and a live production of the very same play on a Stage. The words are the same, dimensions are different. Like a play written by a playwright “political Science” has its own value. But, how many political scientists are lucky to see their “useful” thoughts implemented by policy makers!

In spite of that, the tight circle of political intellectuals does not recognize a necessity and true value of “useful Arts”. They are not eager to incorporate “useful Arts” into “political Science“ to create a small scale live models of their theories that may effect lives of the entire Nation before suggesting a “mass production” of those theories to policy makers. As a result, “political Science” is flourishing in “think tanks”, and universities that are distant from real Life, and “useful Arts” are abandoned and obscure field nowadays.

Creativity of “useful Arts” may look too intuitive from the point of view of analytical “political Science”. Scientific research methods adapted by “political Science” such as “quantitative analysis”, statistical methods, opinion surveys, and recent methods of computer simulations, may look too rigid from the point of view of creative methods of “useful Arts”. However, both fields cannot exist without each other when it comes to Twilight of the Nation.

There is an urgent call to form a “union” between “political Science” and “useful Arts” in part of means and material of new National Strategy and Instruments and Forces necessary for implementation of it. It is not the Union of the “rational choice theory” for a sake of a self-interest of either party. It is rather “a more perfect Union” of new Aristotle and new Alexander the Great in order to meet challenges of Twilight and establish a precedent of survival the Nation as Union.

U.S. National Economy at a time of War

"U.S. anti-terrorist Economic Weaponry belongs to a new generation of strategic arms that are not aimed to destroy terrorist-aggressors directly. Although, it is categorically necessary for a high performance of U.S. homeland defenders and strengthening the Will of the Nation in battle with Terror on the American soil."

U.S. Anti-Terrorist Economic Weaponry

In spite of hard lessons of the 1973 World Energy Crisis, dependency of the United States on many basic material necessities, including, but not limited to crude oil supply, has not been decreased, since. On the contrary, in some segments of the U.S. National Economy dependence on imported basic material necessities widened, increased, and in a number of cases became almost total.

With the current economic trend, the U.S. National Economy produces fewer and fewer own basic material necessities, and the Nation relies and depends more and more on importing them from foreign countries. Consequently, it creates a problem of U.S. trade deficit at a time of peace. At a time of war it creates a compelling problem of National security, and may cause a defeat of the United States in homeland battle with Terror.  

Neither fighting Spirit of U.S. defenders, nor the will of the Nation to resist Terror can subsist and prolong without available basic material necessities. These necessities include military supplies for the country’s defenders, and also supply of food, clothing, shoes, housing, energy, transportation, communication, medical supplies, entertainment, and etc. for the rest of the U.S. civilian population. 

Extreme success of Economic Weaponry in the past, and therefore, inevitable taking advantage of it by terrorists, brought to life a clear recognition of basic material necessities as means of strategy in homeland battle with Terror. Consequently, it raised a critical issue of returning productions and distribution of all basic material necessities back to the United States and establishing self-sufficient corresponding U.S. Economy of Necessities.  

There is no chance to effectively withstand total terrorist siege and terrorist attacks against the United States without a completely independent from foreign producers and suppliers system of production and distribution all basic material necessities. Moreover, the latter must be competitive on the World Market, and always available in excessive quantity, regardless of how long terrorist siege will be continued on the American soil.  

Ability to produce quality basic material necessities at a time of homeland battle with Terror is the key factor for sustaining the will of the Nation to resist enemy. Establishing an autonomous U.S. Economy of Necessities is both, promotion of “the general Welfare” and strategic “line of defense” for the Nation being under total terrorist siege. (Read more...) 

U.S. anti-terrorist Economic Weaponry belongs to a new generation of strategic arms that are not aimed to destroy terrorist-aggressors directly. Although, it is categorically necessary for a high performance of U.S. homeland defenders and strengthening the Will of the Nation in battle with Terror on the American soil.

Setting up a war time domestic system of production and distribution basic material necessities is in fact developing of anti-terrorist Economic Weaponry. Therefore, it should be a subject of “public good” in the United States. In other words, launching of U.S. anti-terrorist Economic Weaponry needs to become as imperative, as manufacturing of all other weapons, military supplies, and ammunitions for national defense.  

However, in order to make the system of basic material necessities efficient, it should be entirely funded and managed by the private sector of the National Economy, particular by small business operators. Thus, corresponding U.S. Economy of Necessities, or rather U.S. anti-terrorist Economic Weaponry will totally thwart terrorist’s plans for exhausting human and economic resources of the Nation, and make useless all terrorist’s efforts to collapse the National Economy, and destroy the civilian society of the United States.

Ideological and political animal

"Men are ideological creatures. They either serve Ideology, or consume it. “Servants” of Ideology are usually philosophers, thinkers, economists, writers, poets, political and spiritual leaders of the Nation, and etc." - Boris Tiraspolsky
Ideological Awareness of the Nation in battle with Terror

“Man is by nature a political animal.” - Aristotle


Aristotle (384-322 BC)
________________________________________


Political Philosophy 101
by J. R. Nyquist

Most Americans would not understand Aristotle’s claim that man is, by nature, a “political animal.” Admittedly, most Americans don’t think about politics. They are busy working and taking care of their families. They are watching TV and playing video games, having love affairs and pursuing hobbies. How, then, could they be “political animals”? The answer is very simple. The modern American belongs to a nation: arguably, the most successful and powerful nation in the history of the world. Belonging to a nation – large or small, rich or poor – is highly significant. If you lost your nationality tomorrow you would quickly come to miss it. Belonging to a larger group is a fundamental human reality, much like sexual identification. Continued...
