Ironic failure of Communism and Capitalism./
How to combine what was, and could be successful from the ashes of both?/
My suggestions are Whole Life Insurance awarded at birth, or at time of citizenship./
What this is intended to do is to give parity to labor, in conflict with capital./
It is also intended to confirm for the citizen that their lives are valued, and thus make volunteer citizenship desirable./
My other suggestion is World Bank Study and report on what the International Minimum Wage ought to be, and how to implement it across borders./
This work does call for coordination between the UN, IMF, and World Bank./
A place to start and experiment with the International Minimum Wage, is between the US, and EU, though I am really wanting to get Chinese Technocratic support for the experiment./
As said my work is to figure out what to take from Communism, and Capitalism, and combine for best possible world./
_________________________
Obama Administration revival of work to eliminate Weapons of Mass Destruction, actually surprised me./
This was a goal of the Carter Administration. It was part of the Carter Inaugural Address./
What’s next Peace in the Middle East?/
As far as the Middle East is concerned, the ongoing forever conflict between Israel and all its neighbors, I suggest use of the Transcendian Proactive Civil Demonstration, and my Message Rocket Program./
(In that practice powerful nations launch harmless paper rockets at each other with notes and poems in or on them.) In the past I had great success littering Manhattan and Brooklyn with such rockets./
In the past I wrote to Estes Rocket Company asking for their support, but they didn’t answer./
Though you may think this is simply a funny thing to do, it is a serious suggestion from me and Transcendia, for a little whimsy can go a long way./
Certainly as a test for the Program, you have to answer what harm could come from such activities?/
Yielding to interests shared by young men in projectiles, and things that explode, and channeling that into harmless competitive fun, has been successful for Transcendia, in the past./
Typically I have found, even police like to participate in launching model rockets./
Truly I am a very serious melancholic man, and therefore work at improving my own humor, so as to share the most positive left in my depressed heart./
In the past I had success with the Message Rocket Program, and hope to have more success in the future./
___________________________________
Hope someone will Donate through the Donate Button, as an experiment.
The honorable Webmaster Heath told me that the thing works./
Improvements to the website would occur if there was some cash flow for the place./
Transcendia would hire some rocket scientists., and otherwise push for control of at least one airport, where experiments in Poly Science, would be normal, and Women’s Rights would be a baseline.

Elevators
Elevators
According to the McClures Magazine of 1903, sale "The day is not distant when all homes will be equipped with electric elevators."
Apparently the writer believed that all homes would be 3 or more stories tall.
The Otis Elevator company is the Elevator Company that is preimer in the US, herbal if not the world.
I do not think from my study that Otis is much concerned with home elevator installations.
Still if you want a perfect elevator, ambulance it would appear that Otis is the company to buy one from.
It has been long in Manhattan that any building over 5 stories tall was required to have an elevator.
Hence it is that many many buildings in Manhattan are 5, instead of 6 stories tall.
The ideal elevator in a home of 4 to 5 stories would be rated for a weight load of at least 15 hundred pounds, in my opinion.
I say so from working at renovating a 4 story home that had an elevator.
I am certain that this elevator was overloaded with busted up sheetrock and what not during the renovation.
It began to misstep by sometimes 2 inches on leveling to the floor stop.
Extremely few people are killed in elevator crashes due to speed brakes and wire rope strengths for counterbalanced elevator systems.
Most deaths from elevator incidents involve maintainence workers. They either fall to their deaths or get ground up and mangled in the machinery. Some are only greivously injured.
Passengers in elevators are typically spared injury or death, and are supposed to sit quietly in the elevator if it stops in between floors due to electrical outages. The passengers are to wait for rescue.
Starting in 1885 telephones were put in elevators so you could call somebody if it got stuck somewhere.
There are international standards for elevators.
Inclinator elevators may well be the company for an elevator for your house, though Otis is pretty much able to build it and maintain it forever, from what I can tell so far.
Of things made to get you around, elevators going back years and years have consistently been made to some of the highest standards of excellence ever achieved by engineers, and been fitted to structures of great antiquity, or enabled structures that without them, had no point.

Working Class Corner/CR4 Reinvention of the World Reading List Notes.
I often neglect my site here getting wrapped up and prompted by above the neck stuff going on on CR4. I am very fond of the letter format..
One of my correspondents and friends posted a condensed version of a Reading List, brand viagra online that is primarily focused on concrete things to either know, prescription or know what book to look at to know.
I was glad, to find the post, and consider it important.
I may have to yank it.
We will see.

Well I’ve been wondering what a good Science Fiction Screenplay might be made from arguments with engineers and physicists and poets might be.
What if life on Mars is very small, but if we brought it back to Earth it would kill all our diseases? Maybe the mechanical God of incompetence locked the dig arm on the robot down for a blessed reason.
Well, maybe…
I’m not always serious.
I’ve been ignoring the War. I’ve been thinking of Multi Verses and String Theory, and some Time Arrows, and Cosmic Rays as holographic platforms.
Last time I addressed what was to be done in Iraq I recommended re-activation of the United States Constabulary. There has been some deployment of a numbered unit that is similiar, but names do matter and this unit is not yet distinquished enough for the number to be in our heads.
Legal Hashish sales between Afganistan and Holland approved by the UN under international law, are called for, along with French Gendarmes and Pakistani Forces to replicate the Professional Constabulary, most best at a time as Interpol.
But I have been mainly focused on discovering the mechanisms that would facilitate Warp Drive.
I want to provide escape for my great grandchildren to another universe.
Possibly the Vatican will fund my projects.
Maybe not.
Anyway I’ve got a few other projects on my mind.
I wish there was a strip joint within three blocks of where I live right now.
There was a charming civility to the strip joints under 9 left in Fort Lauderdale. I prefer a strip joint to a whorehouse myself. For a married man seeing another naked woman is typically enough to inspire some pleasure for his wife who typically misses the point around here. -where I live.
I’ve not visited the Massage Parlor on Franklin by Internationlist Books.
There is a place at 87 and 85/40 in Hillsborough that advertises by the pleasure boat lot. "All Girl Massage".
Looks like a whorehouse to me.
I heard once that the whorehouses in Carbondale Illinois were the best because the girls were all University of Chicago coeds making the money to pay for their university tuition.
Heard that from a pilot.
He also recommended Korean girls and the women of Reklavik. Iceland.
Actually it was his brother that recommended the whorehouses of Carbondale.
His brother was on the business side of things more than as a pilot himself, though he did show off by getting a license to fly the Learjet.
I one time imagined laughing Cockroach Pilots pulling into the FBO in something that looked like a Learjet.
My Science Fiction Movie Treatment Idea is a Real Warp Drive Ship using String Theory and Quantium Mechanics for the basis of the story.
The movie would open as an argument in a bar between a physicist and a poet about whether or not there was more than one universe, and what its speed for the constant of light would be; faster, or slower.
They would go on to discuss Cosmic Ray Dreams, and Nuclear Bombs and the difference between Fusion and Fission, and why the sun is better than bombs.
Finally they would design an experiment or series of experiments that come to fuition would allow us to go to another universe.

Report
Correction to Mars Mission Comment: Apparently the digging arm was freed and has dug. I have determined that it is a fantasy to imagine Mars Microbes that killed all human disease microbes.
As far as my CR4 discussions and writings are concerned, they have been some better than some of my own website writing. It has been a kick to be able to talk to physicist about String Theory, and the Great Void, and understand that in another universe with a lower constant for the speed of light, that elements would be more stable. I’m a little fuzzy about whether or not there would be more of them.
Cosmic rays from slow universe events may cause dreams, possibly, maybe.
I have proposed a liquid replication of the human brain wired tabla rosa, empty, wired to interpret dreams caused by external retinal sleep state receptivity. Such thinking continues to express some of my impossible of divorce, love for my vision.
The CR4 Discussion about String Theory did encourage me to consider an alternate universe with a slower constant for the speed of light, when I was fastened on one that had a faster constant.
I am coming to feel that one is unlikely to be able to go back and forth across time, but more likely possible to go from one universe to another. I do thirst for whatever facts may confirm my vision and feelings, and admit to an inspired bias.
I am interested in coming up with doable experiments, and am aware some tech imagined for my experiment is not much available.
Please be Aware, That my Message and Donate Button are Not Known To Me to Work.
The Site Needs a bit of hardware and software repair.
If I was getting money somehow, TShirts from CafePress maybe, I would spend money on Defense first, Education Second, and then some experiments.
As Far As My Fathers Day Report: Three young women were nice to me, with their company and conversation and I am grateful. They did actually pay for me to drink with them, and took me someplace I had wanted to be able to go, and there were no problems. One of them brought up in me and incouraged some insights into my daughter of the same age. It is not likely that I would have gotten quite as drunk as I did, if I had been with my daughter, but overall I have been feeling wistful and touched and honored considering how flawed I often feel.
What happened was that I had been watching Into The Wild by Sean Penn, and got very depressed and restless and went to the bar about 4 PM, and made it home in the door around 5AM.
During my fine time there was a report that my wife had called and said she was divorcing me.
Apparently she told the young woman who answered the phone while I was in the wash room this.
Into The Wild is a sort of depressing movie.
Sean Penn somehow is involved with desperation, and for my SP Jet Beach I have wanted him as a director to get that out of my story, onto film.
He can get about any actor he wants from what I can tell of his career.
I cut my leg and lost my moneyclip and knife out a hole in my pocket by the time the evening was done, and I was home in bed. I suspect I got home in three stages.
Things are fuzzy and I can’t remember exactly what I was saying towards the end of the evening.
Today in the heat I wore long pants with good pockets.
Yesterday was a Mental Health Day, influenced by the dying cat who was originally supposed to be killed yesterday.
Yesterday I finished watching the film with my wife, and pretending to be a cat by sleeping 2/3rds of the day.
Into the Wild kept me up from 3:30 to about 4:30 AM with its images of doom to come.
To round out the Mental Health Day, we watched There Will Be Blood. That movie was not quite as depressing as Into The Wild.
I’ve had a good taste of what dying of starvation through gut malfunction feels like since my near death operation due to the intestinal covering choke wrap, probably caused by the time I shot myself with my BB rifle in the stomach. I was a suicidal kid and I was shocked when the BB fell out.
Injuries do add up and apparently I ought not have shot myself with the BB rifle.
40 some years later and I was dying in great pain til Liz Dreesen the Surgeon cut me up to fix me.
In nice stories people get nicer over time, which was not the case with There Will Be Blood.
I think I’ve gotten a bit nicer over time.
Though I am aware that in some situations, I am not of the same value I was when I was more violent.
To say lies, or be forced to say lies, is to be slapped around.
I can understand hatreds come from such.
Therefore of the two movies I studied this weekend There Will be Blood, as somehow more cheery.
Of the choices I would prefer to kill than starve to death.
Might be time to watch a Comedy!
Charlie Chaplin’s The Dictator would be a good one for these times I imagine.
So, Well, I don’t know,
Sometimes my real life is much more enjoyable than a movie, I can certify that, as a result of the company I was graced with on Father’s Day.

The Farmer that walked through told us some about hay. As the fuel costs rise we might return to getting around by horseback. Horsepower is not an accidental measurement. Of course at the same time riding a horse was getting more attractive, there was a drought that pushed up the price of hay so far that people were giving away their horses.
Times are tough when so many options collide and no option is really any better than the last one.
I myself kept my carbon footprint pretty damn low in my younger days.
This was partly a factor of poverty, and partly more available strength of body for me to use up. I have used up a lot of my time. If you want eternal life get your brain scanned and downloaded and encode and put on the head of a robot.
"There Once Was a Man/With Wires in his head./And All that he Dreamed,/ Came out on a screen/At the end of his bed."
Organic and inorganic fluid harddrives that elimanate CPU moving parts offer nanotech invented possiblities for machines with souls.
Anything that gets no maintainence will wear out. Rocks change form. All of us ought to keep an hourglass with us for Tayloristic mission timing. Eggtimer time is interesting. The madman watching the sands of time go back and forth as things are turned over is the historian.
The history of the United States since I’ve been in it, has been a history of failed morality and wasted courage. I gave up myself on changing it and would like to succeed at founding a new nation since the US seems impossibly optimistic about failure.
Of course I am aware that a struggle with the environment is not enough to create a nation. On that score Machievelli is really hard to argue with.
It is just past April Fools, the Holiday I was safe to declare, but now again I am called to declare a War, if I want Transcendia to become a reality.
What War would you prefer I declare? What War would you Support, with killing and dying, and torture and secrets, lonely and painful deaths for your brothers and sisters? What war would that be?
I myself think of the poor working man of Japan bombed at his work station, while his children were at school and his wife was looking for food. I support a war against Nuclear Weapons. That is one war I am for.
We do seem to be in a World War and the raped and starved and beaten know who is losing.
Every single working class man or woman in the world is pitted against every other, and there is no international minimum wage, socialism is for the rich.
I want my own airport!
Everybody wants Ayn Rand Land, the gated community of people with planes who have complete control of their lives, are the Captains of Industry and good to the working classes. Of course Ayn Rand felt you got more from people you paid well, which being relative in different economies means the Captain of Industry can say, well I was good for awhile in Mexico. Now I’m nice in China, or India, or VietNam.
As a real actor in the international economy Transcendia is for Human Rights, and freedom is not free. Civilization is prettier than barbarism. In earlier civilizations a slave could buy his own freedom. Ben Franklin and Jefferson thought it was understood that freedom was money. Ben was smart enough to print it.
It is not fair to the working classes for underground economies to be required.
It is time for the end of the drug war to be accomplished.
The Netherlands and the Swiss and the Germans really do need to withdraw from the United Nations as long as membership is predicated on a permanent Drug War.
Terrorists do not necessarily want to be terrorists.
If you have carried a gun around, you know it is a lot of work.
Making bombs is a dangerous job.
The UN needs to ally with the Working Classes, and at least enforce the Rules of War.
It is interesting and important that Pakistan supplies most of the armed forces used by the UN. I’d like to visit Pakistan and India and China and Afganistan next week.
When I was younger I hitchhiked and rode in buses and bicycled, and flew around.
My passport from the US just expired, so I may not be allowed to travel unless my Transcendian Passport is accepted.
I wonder what Freight Aircraft like UPS or Fed Ex schedules are. Would they carry me like the mail?
Round the Bend by Nevil Shute inspired me, and still does.
I think Mr. Jimmy Carter sold Hashish.
I’ve done deep breathing and smoked hash and these are powerful states of mind.
I took a long walk in Toronto hung up on acid thinking about the strength of my convictions. I’ve done more than inhale and have had the profile of a shed man like the Unabomber.
Luckily for me some hot crazy women found me attractive.
I loved those airplanes too.
So back to War. What War is now the Good War?
In a Global Economy every war is in play.
Ending the Drug War would have surprising benifits for the civilized workers.
Union support internationally for enforcing the rules of war and eliminating Weapons of Mass Destruction is called for.
Barter brokering in the underground economy will raise up its stature and empower the powerless.
Not every rich person is bad. There are good rich people. We workers need to cut them out from the herd and help them protect our children by living as adults.
So I encourage Transcendians to print good looking money for Transcendia, and use it among themselves for the War.
Thanks for listening to my latest speech.
Love, Russell
