If six billion people have both more food and more forest than their three billion parents did; if the prices of copper, wheat and natural gas are going down, not up; if there are 20 times more carcinogens in three cups of organic coffee than in daily dietary exposure to the worst pesticide both before and after the DDT ban; if renewable resources such as whales are more easily exhausted than non-renewables such as coal; if lower infant mortality leads to falling populations, not rising ones, then perhaps we need to think differently about what sustainability means.

Perhaps the most sustainable thing we can do is develop new technology, increase trade and spread affluence.

--Matt Ridley Profits_Of_Doom.htm The Spectator 23 Feb 2002

On the one hand, Pro-Space Lobbying, which already functions optimally, has already reached a point of diminishing returns. Pro-Space Lobbyists are highly capable and dedicated. Alas, however, Pro-Space Activism has never been all that influential.

On the other hand, the Environmental Movement has become highly influential. But they are not very politically savvy.

The Green Pro-Space Agenda proposes the cultivation of a Strategic Alliance.



Changing our conversation in order to change theirs

Political parties, public interests, concerns, advocacies and other such institutions, run by an open membership in any democratic Parliamentary fashion more or less according to Robert's Rules of Order, are intended to be flexible and to evolve according to the needs of the people making use thereof. And it is somewhat disheartening how much hostility, mistrust and squeamishness of intrusion, on the part of the uninformed, there turns out to be towards basic real world practices of these principles of Activism and democracy in action, that, on the other hand, ought to be quite familiar to the at all politically initiated.

Here then commences the Civics lesson:

The primary implementation strategy of the Green Pro-Space Agenda is first to reach out to Pro-Space organizations to sponsor, recruit for, and then train, with the help of Environmental Activists disaffected by Ludditry, superstitious Gia cultism, incompetence, greed and hypocrisy, Pro-Space Activists to form local Green Pro-Space Agenda chapters along with that will select, target and join Environmental groups in their geographical areas, attend meetings, and work to raise Pro-Space Environmental consciousness among the membership.

Towards this end, the Green Pro-Space Agenda is also to make extensive use of the anticipated Computer Assisted Social Activity technology, as soon as it is realized and becomes available, for best compatible recruitment, internally, and even Social Network Optimization of the Environmental organizations that volunteers are to work within. 

When attending Environmentalist meetings, Green Pro-Space Agenda volunteers will observe to determine, and then feel out, who is listened to and asked about things by the members, and then build up to talking privately with such opinion makers about the interests of the key people, leaders, fund raisers and famous backers using key phrases and topics that will have been tested to see what most effects the members in order to best express and explain not only Environmental concerns of the Space Age, but also in what ways would spaceflight help, or better accomplish the same goals instead of whatever they already plan, over all goals and action  agendas, and also whatever more they hope to achieve but still need to strategize.

Astroenvironmental concerns to be addressed include emissions from lift off and even that the flames and heat of re-entry may promote a pollutant atmospheric chemical reaction. All such questions may be cause for concern to be addressed by appropriate Environmental Impact studies and recommendations there from. 

Also the growing hazard to Astro-Workers from potentialy catastrophic tiny fragments of trash orbiting at bullet-like speeds need to be brought under control as soon as is practical. (Indeed, NASA has made progress in this area with lasers to de-orbit dangerous space junk in the path of the space shuttle.) And highly valuable orbital space-junk should be routinely recycled in orbit instead of going to waste. Likewise, natural space debris, as well. Moreover, space probes must immediately be mandated to be completely sterile and fully radiation shielded so as not to contaminate that which they are sent forth to discover.

Crucial benefits to be accrued from peaceful applications of spaceflight include improved orbital Environmental monitoring and even the audacious Solar furnace proposal for solar refracted orbital laser cleansing of the upper atmosphere of chlorofluorocarbons so as to allow the thinning Ozone Layer to replenish itself. All such depending very much upon ever cheaper and safer reusable access to Outer Space.

Alas, the Main Stream of the Environmental Movement tends to remain under the tight control of it's leadership, tending towards resistance to change and rejection of new ideas. On the bright side, however, the Green leadership may tend to follow it's membership rather than risk their own positions. Such Standard Operating Procedure even seems to express their primitive understanding of democracy!

But in the absolute worst case scenario of such sinister Consensus and Facilitation chicanery as is typified by The Delphi Technique [DIAGRAM], Green Pro-Space Agenda volunteers, functioning as CliqueBusters TM , would be well to know how to defuse/disrupt it. *

But, to reiterate, there are, after all, swelling ranks of deep disaffectation from the main stream of Environmentalism and the rest of the sham opposition, by genuinely caring and well informed citizens for a return to any genuine concerned Science. And who shall speak for the dissidents in the face of dubious consensus building, if we never regroup?

In any case, should, as is likely, the a fore mentioned opinion makers prove inaccessible or unsympathetic, then a tailor made full scale Green Pro-Space Agenda consciousness raising campaign directed from inside the Environmental organization's membership will proceed, all about how spaceflight is crucial to the interests of the key people, leaders, fund raisers and famous backers.

Emulating the Rocky Mountain Institute, and in conformance with the Social Entrepreneurship business model, combining profit, non profit, and even government funding, central organizational objectives of the Green Pro-Space Agenda will be to establish a non profit organization that will own a for profit consultancy, specializing in Pro-Space Environmental expertise. The team will need a Space Industry Scientist, a Green Industry Scientist, two Green Activists with connections, two Pro-Space Activists with connections, a Webmaster, a Public Relations Director, a Financial Director, a translator, and a qualified full time leader to make a long term commitment and put in 20 hours a week. They will also coordinate logistical support for the Green Pro-Space Agenda Outreach Activists.

Green Pro-Space Agenda Corporate sponsorship opportunities

Exciting promotions for commercial sponsors, with tax breaks and a more morally uplifting and cost effective path to Political influence than traditional bloated and openly corrupt Campaign Finance and Lobbying.

The Green Pro-Space Agenda curriculum

The Green Pro-Space Agenda offers a wide range of subject matter for education by voluntary choice, at any age, instead of testing and punishing us lest we forget, all "for our own good"! The bullies that need to be reformed in school, alas, include the Administration. The mechanized Space Age will need thinking people, not drones.

The Dullardly Tyranny of False Dilemmas

Perhaps the worst casualty of polarization is sheer irrelevance of frame and consequently, the ingenuity gap!

Leave us face it, all the world is becoming America. All the more responsibility, then, as to what kind of America we all want to live in! For all the world yearns for the American dream, but instead suffers under the American foreign policy nightmare of incompetent demagogues ever failing upwards, and consequently embattled with American foreign policy Frankensteins!

Basically, we are still all being called upon to choose up sides in the Spanish civil war! -and with all much the same players on the world stage...

But Americans are neither oppressive centralized micromanagers nor corrupt and cavalier laissez fair bastards. And yet, every election is the same tired referendum between Anarcho-Capitalism versus comprehensive state planning.

Americans are neither Imperialists nor Isolationists, and yet every election turns upon the same agonizing referendum between the Manifest Destiny of Neocon Imperialism and the Prime Directive of Chomskyite Isolationism. Americans need neither to mindlessly tow the line for our oppressors, nor to cast out the proverbial baby with the metaphorical bath water as exhorted by our fanatical enemies.

Apathy towards campaign finance reform is at least understandable. Because it consistently costs more to unseat an incumbent than to achieve reelection, fixed equal budgets might actually be unfair and regressive. Besides, there will always be the overwhelming demand to find loopholes!

Rather, let us follow the example of the great state of Minnesota, and legislate to remove obstacles, encourage and open the field to new independent candidates and not just the very rich. (Although, some celebrates entering politics are genuine independents and not all just ambitious party hacks.) Never mind hobbling two Goliaths equally. Just be sure and let David into the ring at all! Otherwise, what chance for new ideas?

Coercion as the primary tool of policy, both foreign and domestic, has failed no less miserably than centralized state planning. And foreign aid with massive strings attached and squandered by the apparatchiks is decimating the developing world. Instead, let us embrace social entrepreneurship, as directly to the people at local community level as possible, under the George Soros doctrine of constructive positive intervention and harm reduction.

We need real decentralization, not just lip service.

We can and should support emerging free markets and real pro-democracy activism, globally. Indeed, the most effective espionage actually partakes of social work, not wet work! But clandestine coercion, destruction, and collaboration with criminals and tyrants, will only return to haunt us, no less than irresponsible passive bystanding and indifference.

Now, it's not how much you borrow, but to what purpose. All the world benefits from investment that profits and advances labor saving automation ever increasing real production. Especially in so far as distribution can also be improved, and affluence expanded to all.

Yes, Americans understand the distinction of good debt, investment that profits, especially by deriving passive income, from bad debt, borrowing money squandered unnecessarily or else just as often, simply to get by. And yet, as decided every election in turn, the deficit increases or degreases only in the same interminable bad debt.

For just such are the fluctuations as the smug and powerful effortlessly brush the rest of us aside from the trough to tighten our belts, tote that bale and mortgage our future into ruin. Instead, Americans want to increase good debt in order to reach for the stars (more specifically, the abundant resources of Cislunar space and also the deep oceans), wage the peace, foreign and domestic, creatively and efficiently. -And to replace the Military Industrial Complex with the Peace Complex, expressing vested interest in peace and prosperity rather than the violence growth industry. Because Capital should be the prime tool of policy. Therefore, policy must no longer continue as the corrupt tool of Capital.

Towards a Consumerist Anarchism?!

Of course, Pierre Joseph Proudin's original concept of Anarchy was not of any extreme or Utopian bench mark, not of bomb-throwing and violence nor of brutal Communist nightmare bureaucracy, but a perhaps proto-Popperian vision of ongoing revolution, a moderate, Liberal and civilized institutional process to curtail centralized power and abuse, improve decentralization and enhance autonomy.

But perhaps Proudin over estimated the long term importance of praxis and failed to appreciate the emerging power of market forces. For with increasing automation and affluence, relevant struggle is less of the working proletariat, but of the bourgeois consumer, and less against Management for control of the means of production than against Monopoly for real choice in goods, service and better customer care. Of decentralization by the remarkable efficiency of liberated free market forces and guided evolutionary problem solving Versus indifferent Monopolistic efficiency by the imposition of shoddiness and infliction of alienation.

Perhaps Anarcho-Consumerism, then, would be the struggle for control of economic circulation and thence, Capital incentive. A mandate for the Rule of Law in preservation of genuine Liberal Free Market Capitalism, under Capital and market forces as the tool of democratic policy, rather than the trappings of democracy as a tool of rampant war profiteering Pluto-Kleptocracy under ubiquitously entrenched Thatcherite soft Fascism.

The spread of democracy and free market prosperity, with it's attendant slick/hokey cultural media counter-propaganda, is often demonized as Cultural Imperialism by petty despots pledged to keep their people destitute, chaste, pure, virtuous, downtrodden and stupefied. Indeed, just as Imperialist Expansionism is the war footing essential to the health of the nominal Republic or Machiavellian Principality, Cultural Imperialism is the footing of the true aggressive peace and real economic growth of the Peace Complex, essential to the health of a genuinely free world.

And Constructive Positive Intervention, as according to the George Soros doctrine, is highly cost effective and efficacious commerce together with precision strategic finance of philanthropy and activism all as principle tools of foreign and domestic policy.

But instead of any trifling pother with even attempting at fair and objective Empirical case by case examination, the regressive Orwellian pejorative 'Cultural Imperialism' blithely malign-equates whatever struggle for progress under whatever entirely voluntary embrace of howsoever attractive and beneficial foreign influences by whatever exercise of individual informed consent, with the forced acculturation of a subject population by foreign dominance.

Of course, that those with the resources may concern themselves not so much with merely making more money, but with shaping the world in accordance with any ideological agenda or dogma outright, is nothing new or unique to the West. But in affluent democracies, those with the resources may indeed concern themselves indeed not so much with making more money, but with shaping the world in accordance with a certain vision. And by a propagandistic malign equivalence, such has been condemned as cultural imperialism. It remains, however, that as for the means justifying the end, the means of Cultural Imperialism, so christened by it's very foes, nevertheless are philanthropic, activist, just and constructive to begin with! And that the welfare of our fellow human beings is indeed ever more and more something that we must make our own affair.

Therefore: Viva Cultural Imperialism!

Today's Cultural Imperialism endeavors beyond merely exploiting the economic resources of other countries, but strives at shaping the societies of other countries even according to such ideological agendas as progress, justice, the rule of law, freedom, democracy and universal affluence. Cultural Imperialists on location now include along with foreign diplomat missions and foreign businesses, also foreign NGOs, in which cultural imperialist activists often have any say. Cultural imperialism must also strive at reshaping not only foreign policy but our own societies into the gentler ways of cultural imperialism and constructive positive intervention, and also in domestic affairs.

Because this world, our modern society, the environment that human beings, just as any other organisms, create together simply by abiding therein, should exist for one purpose above all else, and that is to maintain each individual at the highest possible standard of living, freedom and opportunity. Poverty has a part in every social and ecological ill, making prosperity indispensable to most every real solution. And what transforms dire need, cherished value, ideal, preference, desire and sheer consumer whim alike, into surging economic demand, has always been one thing and one thing alone, that being: money, disposable income, real buying power. Therefore, the top priority and of true leadership and global responsibility must be to make certain that anyone and everyone has plenty of money, by whatever means necessary, convenient, efficient and appropriate, so that maximal demand always approaches an ever expanding production potential. And this can be accomplished by dynamic commerce, intense investment, growing employment, generous entitlements of Negative Income Tax, and/or whatever other channels of distribution that may come to hand, through the public, private, profit and non profit sectors in combination, advanced by persuasive counterpropaganda, supported by artful diplomacy and secured under the democratic rule of law, such an aggressive peace will be not only lofty and humane and at the same time obscenely profitable, but most of all, optimally efficient and responsible.

After all, the best material nurture can contribute far more for positive character development than all of life's needless suffering, sacrifice and Reactionary selfless rationalization of endless brutality.

Why should we? Because we can!

The Manifesto of the Green Pro-Space Agenda

All the needed technology is already feasible now for decades, and increasingly practical with the latest off the shelf parts! That is not the obstacle...

Any fanatical ideologue Mickey-Marxist or Mini-Maoist who truly believes that landlords and merchants do not labor or add value, is just out of their fucking gourd! No less, and likewise, investing successfully is also often hard work, and crucial as better motivated decentralized allocation of vital resources. However, it remains that even the most predatory and exploitative of crime outright, also may entail great effort and risk for whatever it's reward, and yet in sheer depraved indifference of however dubious whatever the added value as compared to the clear and serious detriment. And the very self same question remains fair for any human endeavor, ultimately, whether it be productive or predatory. Nevertheless, responsibility only means ongoing reform such as will not throw out the metaphorical baby with the proverbial bath water, especially as to exactly what interactions, however imperfect, will be criminalized next. In the alternative, progress, ongoing improvement, may ever be achieved by ongoing correction of problems as they arise.

Because poverty and oppression are no more corollary and intrinsic to capital than famine is to food. The evils are in Orwellian artificial scarcity. Capital simply does not meet the real demand anywhere near optimally. Humorous mortgage television advertising to the contrary, there simply isn't any where near enough real competition among lenders and investors, nor even among educators and experts to better help facilitate formal business planning for first time entrepreneurship or even small business expansion. One way or another, the lions share of both funding and knowledge seems only to chase after the same and thereby close off to the rest of us. For the rehabilitation of modern society, to share the wealth non destructively and without squandering it all, what will be needed is the de-stratification and better integration of Capitalism into the fabric of society via Social Entrepreneurship. Only work out how to safely open the capital spigot, and there can be any chance that the market system may at long last deliver at all as promised:

True burgeoning production growth and ever rising standards of living for all!

1) Police/military action as the primary tool of policy can only fail abroad no less than domestically. Global responsibility under the Rule of Law will be more demanding than that. It is not the size of the debt, but the cost of servicing said debt Vs the revenue to cover and profit besides. In our dysfunctional human family, the doomed lackluster go-along / get-along Democrat sham opposition, still absurdly promoting themselves as revolutionary firebrands! are the weak enabling mommy who typically taxes and spends on inept and corrupt care giving and codependency, while the Republicans are the blustering and posturing power-drunk daddy who borrows and spends on corrupt overreaching disciplinarian forceful coercion. But there is no one who has any "lobes", motivation and acumen, for the human family business (as it where), the clarity and responsibility also to borrow and invest for real production growth, the way we're supposed to. Indeed, no less than the famous leading economist John Kenneth Galbraith advocates actually doubling the deficit, but primarily to invest, Venture Capital where ever most sorely needed, especially in infrastructure rebuilding which is also central to global responsibility. 

2) Idle money does the devil's work! Economic forces bottled up are consuming themselves! In order to steer clear of mischief, all that is needed is vision and ambition, something more expensive but less wasteful to do. The economy needs to grow, and first beginning with the untapped resources of the Deep Oceans, limitless room for expansion awaits on the High Frontier beginning at Cislunar space, a desirable trend for immediately removing the pressure and incentive to war by rendering control over dwindling Terrestrial resources a moot issue! Then, at long last, the Third World can finally be needed to be liberated as an increasingly affluent true expanding free market for all such burgeoning new real production, instead of a toxic waste dump, desperately impoverished cheap labor source and subsidized battle ground as it is now.

The message of the Green Pro-Space Agenda is that it is gravely irresponsible, Politically, Ecologically and Economically, to persist in Heavy Industry on the Earth's surface. But, obviously, air and water pollution are quite simply impossible in the vacuum of Outer Space, where, also, Solar Power is actually abundant and becomes practical not only for every use in Outer Space, but also for beaming back endless and bountiful clean energy for cost effective redistribution back down on Earth. And that if we don't learn how to reliably deflect dangerous Asteroids and comets, and capture conveniently near Earth passing Asteroids and comets for mining and fueling (not to mention water to drink and Oxygen to breath - or else use robots), an inconceivably vast and bountiful material resource, then we are only waiting around, declining in our own neglect, choking in our own filth, starving in our depleted Terrestrial resources, blind, unprepared and complacent, for yet another catastrophic impact and our own Mass Extinction this time. Did you read about the most recent near miss in the news? What shall it be? Wealth or death? 

3) Hydroponics, Aeroponics and Aquaculture are crucial for cost effective increased food production on a fraction of the land, to end hunger, improve flavor and nutrition, liberate Oxygen and reduce Greenhouse Gas levels, preserve biodiversity even while advancing bioengineering, cut back on traditional farming to off set Urban Sprawl, and to advance the study and development of self sustaining closed Eco-systems, essential to long term survival in Outer Space and beneath the Oceans. 

Why, it is even technologically feasible to cost effectively produce meat without harming animals!

4) We are starving the Ocean. We take without giving back. Actually, we do give it back but in the wrong way, so that it only tends to bog down in the cycle, undigested, so to speak.

Instead of uniformly, routinely and misguidedly actually treating much needed dissolved oxygen as a threat to the balance of aquatic ecosystems, an Entrepreneurial custodial strategy called Global Aquaculture must aim at engineering Oceanic population explosion, by actually feeding the Ocean, returning, with compounded interest, sterilized non toxic non sticky and adequately oxygenated hydrocarbons to the aquatic food chain, but in a way that will be adequately processed by the marine ecosystem. This will revitalize the dynamic Marine Biosphere and Fisheries Globally.

5) Just because Communism has failed, does not mean that Capitalism has succeeded. Deficit reduction complete with tax loopholes for the rich, only starves real production, while war and prisons, the only remaining major growth industries, continue to increase the deficit all the same. Laissez faire by any other name, remains a classic Big Lie because real productivity simply cannot compete in the short term, so long as the unfair advantages of plunder and exploitation are permitted and encouraged rather than being policed and penalized economically.

Indeed, the greatest obstacles to reactor safety not to mention cost effectiveness, only for one example, are just such lawless anti-competitive societal problems and vested interest on all sides, more clearly so than any true scientific, technological or engineering challenge.

War and profiteering are the evident manipulative barely hidden agenda behind ongoing destabilization, convenient CIA "blowback" and chronic missed opportunity in foreign policy towards the Third World. Again, idle money does the devil's work!

In the alternative, clean and safe exponential production growth, as outlined in the four numbered points above, along with a global Marshal Plan of enterprise loan programs for new and expanding ventures of all sizes, will be essential to establishing the Peace Complex, a network of vested interest in the well being of society, to actually out compete the ongoing mergers, take overs, Economic liquidation, Environmental despoilment, oppressive Post Colonial human exploitation, Corporate Welfare, all such sheer out and out consolidated pillage, plunder and predation at the hands of the current Military Industrial Complex, and put an end to war and profiteering once and for all. In short, to curtail the Feudal Oligarchic Monopolistic Kleptocracy of the10% who own 90%, and most especially the 1% who own 80%, of the world's wealth (as estimated by Forbe's), end their strangle hold, return government election to the people at last, transform the Corporate world, liberate productive Entrepreneurial vitality, doing well by doing good, in an Open Market for an Open Society preserved under the Rule of Law, and abandon the corrupt and oppressive War on Vice forever so that understandably terrified, Paranoid and threatening centralized policing can be abandoned in favor of a return to neighborhood policing, with rehabilitated beat cops as an integral part of the community instead of the reciprocally alienating and mutually irresponsible Blue Wall.

Towns that offer property tax breaks for renovation, and tax penalties for squalor, rapidly beautify. Desirable and promising enterprises can and should be similarly encouraged, and destructive unscrupulously advantageous anticompetitive business practices deterred, by similar highly efficacious prizes, tax and other fiscal incentives and disincentives, which, alas, have been perverted into the pork barrel of Corporate Welfare sans accountability, all courtesy of the governments the Multinationals have purchased and cultivated.  

Much of the above reforms can be part of a new role for the world's tax collection agencies, given new a mandate to offer ongoing recommendations for actually broadening the tax base (beyond simple tax investigation and enforcement) as well as enhancing oversight by the conduct of  a newly instituted ongoing public audit of government accountability and inefficiency.

To avert "the tragedy of the commons" the Consumer Society must also manifest as the society itself, empowered as collective consumer, expressing market preference regarding  such consequences, externalities, good or ill, whenever such may not by themselves adequately manifest on the bottom line. Toward such end, we must assert real leadership. "Money is a wonderful servant, but a terrible master." In a true democracy Profit Motive should be a primary tool of policy, and never again vice versa as it is now. One Evil Empire down, one to go! 

6) Put the whistle blowers in charge!

7) Workers of the World, relax! Economy and Ecology are similar complex dynamic systems, needing similar management as policy, because food chains always begin at the bottom, never (sic) Top Down. 

Francis Bacon said of money, that like dung it is best spread. Or, better still, money should always be continually and ever more widely circulated for true economic growth. True visionary and dynamic Liberal Free Market Capitalists in the foot steps of the likes of Henry Ford never just hold all the cards, they play and risk them, raising incomes, lowering prices, and casting money free to circulate and return. Not like those wage-slave driving Monopolistic Oligarchic Robber Barons, indeed such as Henry Ford himself gradually degenerated into, who just squeeze it out and hoard it all! Indeed, with exponentially increasing mechanized production, ever lengthening leisure time must accrue. And there fore, positive intervention, not only conscientious, reliable and consistent political support for pro-democracy movements and contingents anywhere in the world (instead of typically abandoning them and then backing thugs and loons of convenience instead!), but a global Marshal Plan of investment in Societal infrastructure via small and medium sized business loans, direct massive Venture Capital investment (bypassing the wasteful and corrupt bureaucracies and Apparatchiks ever drooling over traditional foreign aid pork barrels) for new start-up and expanding businesses of every size and scope, but also better and more widely disseminated financial education along with ever greater sheer individual disposable real buying power for all, must be constantly and ever more widely re-circulated, by whatever means, public and private, from the bottom in order to bubble upward so as to continually enhance and broaden a healthy and dynamic civilian consumer base capable of sustaining a perpetual upward spiral and ever growing tax base, until one day scarcity is eliminated entirely and Robotopia achieved.

The immature and excitable are so often wont to take the great military strategists out of context, focusing only upon the thrilling passages depicting fire, storm and the flashing sword of vengeance! But the warrior sages all understood that lasting victory is all in the preparation. In our times, our best option is first to envelop the world's cancers of grimmest tyranny in just such true democracy and prosperity as despots most revile, fear and loath, no matter what options to choose there after in moving against them, and in our own good time, meanwhile marshaling international cooperation, goodwill and popular support against Organized Crime and Terrorism. When Sun Tzu says "all is war", this is but to counsel the importance, first of all, of "waging" (cultivating) the peace, patiently, aggressively and unflaggingly. Whereas, in the alternative, the simplistic self-righteous depraved indifference of sociopathic RealPolitik offers nothing but chaos, costly carnage, complication and quagmire, in truth,  no less vicious, loony, foolish and fraudulent than the hypocritical Laissez faire of oily war profiteers carving up the pork barrels and plunder, despoiling the Environment, hobbling and bleeding real production dry. All most inopportune opportunism and unbusinesslike business!

8) No more Draconian false dilemmas between human subsistence versus Environmental preservation! Scarcity is a dastardly Neo Malthusian myth promulgated by Monopolistic Industry and embraced also by the equally effete Environmental Main Stream. Help end the Moralistic Big Lie of our times! 

It is observed more and more often that Environmentalism in global politics is increasingly a reflection of competing interests, to the pointed exclusion of science, reason and problem solving. And, everywhere, Industry and the mainstream Environmental Movement only vie and then collude for effective control over the same despicable manufactured  scarcity. 

9) No truth, no hope, no justice, no peace! Down with Inductivism!

10) Establish good International Law in Outer Space, like unto Maritime Law on Earth, to help forestall any possible Wild West scenarios. There's gold in them thar Asteeroids!  

11) Emorto-Feminism.

12) Military policy:

Never Micromanagement, but better oversight, in part accomplished by selectively removing peace time exemptions from civil liability and also corruptive conflicts of interest from military justice. Civilian Circuit Court Judges would adjudicate Military Tribunals, and defendants could choose civilian Public Defenders over military assigned defenders.

Women's equality means neither obstruction nor condescending lower standards, physical or otherwise.

Competition in war games can encourage morale and excellence rather than cynical complacent conformity. In such a process, different training regimens and even opposing assumptions about the nature and essence of fighting readiness, Psychologically and organizationally, can actually be tested in scientific experiment. Better pay, food, benefits, training, and living and working conditions can attract better candidates and forestall corruption.

Maximize benefits of Operations Other than War including Peace Keeping and Disaster Relief.

Development of inventive and highly cost effective (genuinely) non lethal weapons technology.

12) Waging the peace:

Wu Tzu, also known as Wu Chi, the probable true author of 'The Art of war' that he so famously attributed to the historical figure of Sun Tzu, declared that war to suppress violence and unrest, inevitably famed as righteous and honorable, is nevertheless best forestalled by proper and capable government, enraged war regardless of cause, provocation or accumulating animosity, only by the cultivation of humility, costly wanton wars motivated by greed and cynical advantage (Laissez fair and Real Politick), hence so quickly bereft of all trustworthy honor and propriety before all the world, must be deftly misdirected, thwarted  by resort to utter Machiavellian low guile, deception and treachery, and in times of disorder, the weary multitude agitated to insurgent war, forestalled by recognized authority and dignity, legitimacy that in modern days we embrace only as the hallmark of real democracy.

Obviously, adroit classification of, and appropriate response to, impending war is always crucial. Indeed, it will be worthy of noting that President Jimmy Carter, so often hailed as: "the best secretary of state we ever had for president!" the saintly born-again soul of humility and the only other American president aside from Gerald Ford in his brief term, actually never to lead America into war, simply assumed all potential war to be merely such as enraged by provocation. Hence, Carter's brilliant and benevolent successes accrued when this was precisely so, and his cowardly boneheaded blunders when it simply was not! In the rubric of Machiavelli, Carter simply did not know how not to be good as ever called for by whatever the situation! -Unlike typical legislators who all seem no good at all at being good...

13) Accountability. Failure conditions specified and included in all new legislation. Routine and public disaster investigation in case of persistent failure conditions and national crises such as armed conflict. And crucial legislated public assistance or intervention which inevitably can only undermine market forces must call for a projective market impact statement and then market stimulus and repair proposals to restore or exceed whatever lost vital economic incentives most cost effectively.
