This Blog is created to stress the importance of Peace as an environmental directive. “I never give them hell. I just tell the truth and they think it’s hell.” – Harry Truman (I receive no compensation from any entry on this blog.)

I was just doing some channel surfing and this caught my attention.
I can't let this go by. This is a safety issue for women. A few months ago I put an entry on this blog about a nightmare story whereby a woman wearing skinny jeans actually had to go to the hospital for treatment of swelling that caused disability.
Well, someone heard about the problem and now there is a skinny jean offered at HSN and is reasonably priced. It is 100 percent stretch and looks like the real thing.
This is the link (click here).
They look great on the models. I congratulate HSN for finding a product that is safer. Wow. Happy shopping everyone

#globalcitizen - To end extreme poverty.
The crowd looks like they are having a good time. There are far more people this year than last year and there were plenty of people last year.

Pope Francis is concerned about "The Crisis in the Family."
Secretary Jewell finished speaking at Independence Hall about the importance of the Pope's message regarding the natural world including the environment and carbon pollution.
Mayor Michael Nutter is speaking about the history of Philadelphia and it's values. He states it is appropriate for Philadelphia to be the final city in the USA for the Pope to visit.
Mayor Nutter feels completely comfortable speaking about the wide diversity in the USA. He cites "Do unto others as you would have done unto you." It's all there. Pope Francis is opening up dialogue on all subjects.He cites John J. Andrerson (click here) as the man who asked him to enter politics and lead Philadelphia.
The Governor of Pennsylvania, Tom Wolf is speaking. He has a special place for the Pope's travels on his official website. (click here) He calls on Pope Francis request to dedicate government to fairness, openness and justice.
I am sure every government synthesizes Pope Francis message in it's own way. This is the USA. It is about diversity.
Kindly remember Pope Francis has not found it helpful to incorporate religion and politics for the purposes of oppression. That is not his message and he gives no government permission to oppress people on the basis of religion.
It is interesting all this openness comes as a message from Philadelphia. Very interesting. The crowd tomorrow is expected to be over one million people. Pope Francis is celebrating the family in this visit. He certainly does not have the idea people are cast out of a single mold called, "Acceptable."
There he is in his Pope-mobile. A baby dressed in pink was lifted to him, he offered a blessing of the child with an enormous smile on his face. He is entering Independence Hall through the public entrance that would be taken by anyone else visiting the building.
He blessed the oak cross that symbolizes Hispanic Catholics. It is the symbol of the beginning of a mission of the church. The cross will travel across the USA to bring Hispanics an interest in the church, including immigrants.
Pope Francis heard the music composed by Aaron Copeland, long held as a great American composer.
This is his composition, "Fanfare for the Common Man."
Holy smokes he praises voting rights and the labor movement and human dignity. He praises the assimilation of immigrants into the US society. He completely embraces democracy as freedom and notes religious freedom as a right. He includes diversity and interfaith dialogue provided through liberty. He identifies conscience as a freedom. He recognizes the cultures of any people as valuable. He states culture calls society and individuals to religious expression. He identifies history as a reflection on atrocities with principles that deny rights. He states religion has an enduring power to insure freedoms and expand the quality of life and common good. (It is true that religion does bind people together. Families practice a culture rich with religion in many instances and it becomes an intricate part of their lives. If parents baptize a child that is a cultural expression and promise. It brings the child to be one with god and expectations the parents will be dedicated to that child within their culture. He is correct. Religion adds moral content to society without asking thank you. My words, not his.)
Ah, the "American spirit." He embraces it. He states, It is an ultimate test of your greatness is how you treat every person, but, especially the weakest and defenseless ones." He also embraces the way in which the American people rise to speak out injustices. He believes globalization is a good method but it has failings to bring equality to all people. I think he is expressing income and wealth ineuality. He expresses globalization as a method that can bring about quality of life if practiced with equality in mind.
I know, I know; local economies stand in defiance and in defense from globalization and exploitation of the people by a few for the purpose of monetary gain. Don't try to manipulate this, Pope Francis emphasizes EQUALITY of quality of life. He doesn't find poverty as an equality of globalization. So, until Wall Street embraces the middle class as an equal partner to be maintained and not held in disdain to their greater profits, local economies stand!
He asked everyone to remember what happened here (Philadelphia) over 200 years ago.
Pope Francis asks the people to embrace their rights and freedom and to pray for him.
He blessed everyone after the joint prayer of "The Lord's Prayer." There is a bell ringing as if the Liberty Bell came back to life. Religions have a long history of bells as a call to worship.
He is amazing. He moves people to tears. Young people.

Pope Francis did not have the time to plan an extensive trip to Mexico.
September 25, 2015
A year has passed (click here) since 43 college students disappeared in Mexico. Controversy is rising over the details surrounding what happened to the students, with a new report contradicting the Mexican government’s account.
Now, activists have flown five of the students’ mothers to Philadelphia in hopes they can meet with Pope Francis while he’s there.
As Bobby Allyn of Here & Now contributor WHYY in Philadelphia reports, the Pope has called the students’ disappearance a murder and the mothers and activists want him to pressure the Mexican government to take further action on the case....
Pope Francis endurance reminds me of a person needing a vacation from the vacation. His stamina has to be measured with these rigorous visits to entire countries and a time to rest. He also has duties in Rome. So, the idea an extensive trip throughout the hemisphere or across an entire continent is challenging.
I think he is a great Pope and wants to reach all the people that seek him, but, he repeatedly states with each audience, "Pray for me." He recognizes two aspects of that request. He feels his mortality as a human being and he wants to be regarded as family or a friend that one would pray for. He wants to become a common dialogue in conversations after he leaves. Praying for him brings people together to realize his iconic meaning of his life. He is a friend in that face of all that which becomes his iconic status.

There it is. The magnificent man he is.
The laity. He states the laity is playing a greater role in the Catholic faith.
Women, be they lay or religious are acting in greater capacity than ever for their faith.
These are not quotes.

The is the Pope. This is what he does. He looks into the hearts of his congregation to understand where he needs to support their love of God. I am rather confident he will move women into higher areas of achievement within the Catholic church.
He has a very interesting history to achievement in the church himself. He is very generous in his love for the congregation that God assembles.
Kindly consider the 'status' of women have changed immensely in the USA. They are no longer chattel, they vote and they work for a living attending colleges in many instances to achieve their goal of work. Pope Francis reflects on all the changes in the faithful lives. I would expect women to be accepted into study leading to priesthood before any other advances.
This is about family. It is about the religious family of the Catholic church as well. He asked to be appreciative of the elderly Nuns and Priests. He thanks them for their faithful practice in the church. Pope Francis asked the religious to examine their first encounter with God and to return to that love and embrace it to refresh their relationship with God and his will.
Pope Francis is very much at the heart of the faithful.

I would like to correct a misperception of the media.
There is this idea Pope Francis rejects the security he has been assigned. That is not correct. Regardless of his automobile he is appreciative of the security.
When Pope Francis was at the school yesterday he thanked workers. He named a few difference jobs people work at, but, he did thank the security workers that they do important work.
So he does express his gratitude for the security workers.
It isn't possible for Pope Francis to dislike or offend, hence, dislike anything people do for work. He doesn't have that perception about people. He loves all people and the work they do. Work is the second highest act a person can carry out in their life times next to love.

The car is a "green car." It is an outward expression of his reverence for God's creation in Earth. Pope Francis is concerned for all of us and our travel around a sun day after day. Earth is our COMMON HOME. He's a chemical engineer by education and training. I think he knows something and his religion supersedes all else in his life. If he is expressing his concern for Earth and people's place on Earth, there is something spiritual moving him. He doesn't express false doctrine.
There was a miracle in the media to realize FOX News has the greenest man on the planet on their media service. That is not a joke either.

Trump is correct about Rubio by the way. Have you ever really listened to the simple kindergarten words of Marco Rubio?
"Government has nothing to do with an economy. The private sector runs the economy and the government should never be involved with it." That is such stupidity I can't believe he actually expects people to believe it. It is all old world bulloney. And of course taxes are always threatening jobs. If it weren't for taxes the USA would be the perfect country. But, of course the USA debt is going to be paid off magically in a world created by Disney.
I'd like to see who among his cronies will volunteer to maximize jobs and pay off the USA debt because their profits will be astronomical, right Kochs?
Rubio needs his pacifier, so be sure he has plenty of water bottles. It will be a miracle to hear reality in any of his speeches.
Denial is so much better than facing facts. Oh, boy, I must really be jaded from losing the Earth to the space program. Keep it up and denial won't matter anymore.
The list of topics that need to move to REALITY POLITICS is long and distinguished.
When I say people in power don't care, I mean it. It isn't politics.
My only real concern today is Syria. That is immediate. It has urgency and no one likes Assad, but, like Republicans such as McCain there are no viable solutions. At least Russia is a direction for the country. It is measurable for people. They can live within a society that is measurable. Obama better not pull any bulloney over it either. I don't think a limited nuclear engagement between the USA and Russia will improve the chances for Syrians.
Syria needs a peace, not unlimited war.
It took Pope Francis to end the hideous political policies in relation to Cuba. The Republicans don't care about people, they care about a political agenda of democracy for every country. It's nonsense. Fifty years since the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Republicans, like Rubio, actually think oppression of the Cuban people can continue forever. The entire country of Cuba were prisoners due to USA political priorities. The ENTIRE country, not just political prisoners in Cuban jails. But, that is okay. Defeating a dictator passively takes lots and lots of time. Generations would pass before Cuban people received relief from the USA's boot on their necks.
I would think China would be an example of how a country secure within it's own sovereign responsibility can actually grow a democracy from a communist government. It doesn't happen overnight or in a decade; it happens over time as the people become more sophisticated and able to discern their interests in their country to choose leadership by elections. China is on track to become a great country. It is emerging. It seeks benevolent relationships. An emerging country is always worried about it's reputation with international relations. It is why censorship exists in emerging economies that begin in communism. India is different. Brazil is different. Both India and Brazil have a far different path to a government of the people. Russia and China are communist countries and have their own paths to greater freedom for their people. It takes time to build a country. That is good thing. There would be no stability in the world if the winds changed every other year. I think the word Wall Street uses is CONFIDENCE. They want confidence to invest. Good reputations build confidence to investors. Stability in the world is a very good thing if people are to move their countries to a standard that improves their quality of life.
Russia is always interested in 'stable states.' It lost the post Soviet states because they were ready to be self-governing. Ukraine wanted to be neutral, but, Yanukovych put his power first. Now there is corruption beyond his removal to contend with. Russia needs to respect Minsk II. They don't like the NGOs because they bring political pressures the eastern communists don't want. They see the NGOs as coercive.
Good night. I've rambled enough. I look forward to another "Day of Francis." His mass for the people in Philadelphia is his crown and glory for the trip. It is the mass for families.

I think Pope Francis spoke with Speaker Boehner about the activities of the US House in relation to people within the USA including the immigrants. I think that talk could have easily made up the Speakers mind to leave. He was constantly conflicted by the disarray with his own party.
John Boehner will finally have peace in his life when he leaves, but, his leaving isn't going to change the dysfunction in the House. If anything his leaving will make it worse.
The US House is working on the CR until November 20th when it will be brought to the House floor. That date is after John Boehner leaves.
The US House is emboldened now. McCarthy has a lot of restraint to enforce to bring order again to the US House. I really think John Boehner left for his own reasons and damn the House. I don't blame him, but, his leaving is not going to resolve anything and the extremists won their infighting. The extremists admittedly has no answers to any of this infighting, but, it was important to them POLITICALLY to remove the Speaker.
None of it makes sense, except, to FOX News anchors.
The so called Values Voter Summit had no reason to cheer except their own hubris. They have their own reality.
The House is going to be a mess for more than the next couple of months unless some of the Republicans resolve to work with the Democrats in the spirit of bipartisanship.
Other than Pope Francis' address to the joint meeting of Congress, there isn't any legacy for John Boehner. It was the most do nothing Congress in history. I think it beats all other Congresses. When Nancy Pelosi was Speaker there were record setting numbers in the bills the House did pass. That sure has heck didn't happen with the "Impasse Congress."
Pope Francis helped John Boehner resolve his conflict. I am happy for him. He loves the country and he wasn't going to harm it. There is every reason to believe his resignation and what lead up to it is probably going to define his legacy.
So John Boehner was looking for an optimal time to leave the Speakership. And Donald Trump was booed and stated he was cheered. There is a reality that exists with Trump. He has his own constituency. He has the numbers. Yes, that's right. The American Plutocracy may very well have coupe the US Constitution by it's own mechanisms. It is possible for a plutocrat to take on the system and win without catering to cronies. It is a populous movement that can produce the numbers that a well meaning billionaire will win an election for President. It is all legal. Donald Trump can be painfully truthful and keep his constituency. He is anti-corruption. No one in the populous movement will abandon him necessarily. Winning without cronies is an anti-corruption agenda. This isn't new. I have been saying it for weeks now. DENIAL is an incredible capacity of a country dominated by a Plutocracy that seeks control of consumerism. There is a lot of denial in the USA population. It is learned denial. The solace is that the American public grabbed onto and prioritized their local economies post 2008. There can't be sincere learned denial in a local economy. It is the smallest economic component and is KNOWN to the population within it. Denial to create success for profit is not tolerated in a local economy, hence, the no GMO movcement. I've been saying this for seven years now. Where has everyone been? Oh, yeah. In denial. No one should be surprised. I have been out here carrying the truth about the destruction of Earth's troposphere called the Climate Crisis. Talk about denial. "Do you BELIEVE in human induced global warming?" BELIEVE? The heating of Earth is not a belief system, it is scientifically proven and is measurable, otherwise it wouldn't be scientifically proven. Believe? That is a theocracy, not a democracy with high esteem for science since Benjamin Franklin. It isn't just the climate crisis! Does the USA still have a problem with racism? Is there income and wealth inequality? Hello? That is called denial. Has the USA Middle Class been vanishing since the political demand to end unions. It's all provable, but, a voter has to BELIEVE. Unions are not belief systems, it is proven need to maintain a Middle Class that is the backbone of a stable economy. Denial. The USA has a big problem with it.
Donald Trump is a perfect storm with a Supreme Court as a facilitator.
One other thing about John Boehner. He was looking for an optimal time to leave the Speakership, BUT, he didn't make up his mind until yesterday evening. I think the Pope influenced his choices. What dedicated Catholic wants to be out of step with God?
I think Pope Francis was generous about all the technology at the school. He had made a point to end high technology that threatens work with people. Now, mobile phones may create jobs, but, the Pope basically tempers his tolerance of it.

Is there a child in that line without a mobile phone? Pope Francis is worried about all children receiving education; I think there is a disconnect.
They were chanting "Holy Father we love you."
The Cardinals go everywhere with him. They love the guy.
I guess that display will go back to Rome with him. The children carried out projects that are themed in "Faith in Action." There are Catholic Schools throughout the area represented. Each school has a different project.
The children put together what can be thought of a spiritual bouquet of photos, writings and offerings as a gift. It is an expression of all the children even those that could not be at the ceremony today.
The entire family of Mayor de Blasio is at the school.

..."I think what Pope Francis (click here) is showing us and teaching us is that a lot more is achievable than we realize. There's so much that he is calling for that I believe in and I am trying to follow his example," de Blasio told WNYC Friday. "The power of Pope Francis is he raises the bar. He sets a demand on all of us."...
Pope Francis is meeting with Catholic Charities to note their work and immigration.

They were chanting "Holy Father we love you."
The Cardinals go everywhere with him. They love the guy.
I guess that display will go back to Rome with him. The children carried out projects that are themed in "Faith in Action." There are Catholic Schools throughout the area represented. Each school has a different project.
The children put together what can be thought of a spiritual bouquet of photos, writings and offerings as a gift. It is an expression of all the children even those that could not be at the ceremony today.
The entire family of Mayor de Blasio is at the school.

..."I think what Pope Francis (click here) is showing us and teaching us is that a lot more is achievable than we realize. There's so much that he is calling for that I believe in and I am trying to follow his example," de Blasio told WNYC Friday. "The power of Pope Francis is he raises the bar. He sets a demand on all of us."...

The IDEA alone that a cyber site could protected has resulted in enormous LOSS fo US seccurity.
It is insane to continue with the same computer methodologies. The USA national security has been completely compromised for more than a decade into the future.

...The number of people (click here) applying for or receiving security clearances whose fingerprint images were stolen in one of the worst government data breaches is now believed to be 5.6 million, not 1.1 million as first thought, the Office of Personnel Management announced on Wednesday.
The agency was the victim of what the US believes was a Chinese espionage operation that affected an estimated 21.5 million current and former federal employees or job applicants. The theft could give Chinese intelligence a huge leg up in recruiting informants inside the US government, experts believe. It also could help the Chinese identify US spies abroad, according to American officials.
The White House has said it’s going to discuss cybersecurity with Chinese president Xi Jinping when he visits Barack Obama later this week....
The information stolen will compromise the intelligence community and new agents have to be trained. THEN. To actually repeat this idiotic idea there is security in cyber space lends itself to the moronic. This is the security of the American people. There is no such thing as of the day of this breach in security.
And what President computerized national security after 911? Any guesses?
Remember? Remember the billions of dollars? Remember how departments are suppose to speak to each other? That was the real reason for 911, right ? It wasn't because the Executive Branch failed to act on the intelligence delivered in the PDB.
The National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) (click here) was established by Presidential Executive Order 13354 in August 2004, and codified by the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004 (IRTPA). NCTC implements a key recommendation of the 9/11 Commission: "Breaking the older mold of national government organizations, this NCTC should be a center for joint operational planning and joint intelligence, staffed by personnel from the various agencies."...

There is continuous coverage of Pope Francis online (click here).
There is also "On Demand" events as well. There isn't anything on demand at this time.

There will be no war declared over cyber insecurity.
The governments of the USA have to completely disconnect it's infrastructure from the internet. They don't have to do anything else. There can be infrastructure that is interoffice and interdepartment, but, none of it connected to the net.
Any interface needed with the pubic has to be a separate infrastructure. In other words, The Department of Homeland Security has it's primary operation of cyber infrastructure offline. The places where it interfaces with the public is a completely separate infrastructure with neither connected to each other.
The NSA is going to demand their way with the cyber security of the country. So, the NSA infrastructure will be connected to the net, but, not to the entire department or other agencies.
This is not a big deal. It was completely wrong for government to think they had control of infrastructure security. It's nonsense. There is no such thing.
If Wall Street is bummed out over that reality, then I remind them; they have their own infrastructure at the bottom of the ocean called 'long lines.' Those are exclusive to Wall Street by the way.
The problem is that Wall Street sees profits at the cost of their own security. That is not a government issue and should not concern the American people.

From a robot (click here) in line in Sydney to the crowds for the visiting pope in New York, this year's iPhone launch festivities had a few extra wrinkles.
The cyber Wall Street want more and more profits even if it means using it's own secured infrastructure to accommodate it. It is not a government problem. If Wall Street wants to compromise it's own infrastructure, they make that decision autonomously. Then Wall Street wonders what governments have against oligarchs with their own militias.

Washington — President Obama (click here) said Friday that he had reached a “common understanding” with President Xi Jinping of China to combat “cyber-enabled theft of intellectual property,” but made it clear that wide areas of disagreement remained over how to stop an escalation of Chinese cyberthefts and the possibility of an American response....
That is why there is still outstanding issues. President Xi Jinping lives with reality while Wall Street lives in denial and war over hackers with bombs and missiles.
The USA military needs to stop relying on cyberspace for it's security. It is called pen and paper. Well, okay, word processors and printers.
What is the name of that computer security company? ???? Oh, yeah, "Lifelock." On it's commercials they state they provide the best cyber security POSSIBLE and have insurance that will cover infractions in the understanding of the coverage they provide.
I wish Wall Street good luck with the demands for treaties that insure their cyber security, OR ELSE. That is part of the problem, by the way. The reason there was an oil war into Iraq is to protect US ASSETS. Wall Street is considerd a US asset by some. So, much a US asset the military belongs to Wall Street for it's moral expansion and demands for fool-proof profits. I don't think so.
So, take this a step further. Imagine a world where Wall Street has complete control of life through 'trade agreements' and there is no local economy. Then Wall Street is hacked and the USA has to go to war, but, Wall Street is in disarray and dysfunction anyway. PROTECT US LOCAL ECONOMIES!!!!!
The US local economies are the heartbeat of our country.

At least Gingrich admits there are Republican hardlines that have a chronic agenda to remove Speaker Boehner. In his own words, John Boehner states it was impossible to carry out governance in the face of continual decent in the House. He stated the votes that were being demanded was not good for the institution and he refuses to call for them. He stated in good conscience he could not carry out the votes. But, I suppose McCarthy can.
If John Boehner was that conflicted between the DEMANDS on his authority to deliver function to the House and the dysfunction he had to deliver than it was overwhelming. One can look at the US Constitution for just so long in opposition to it's demands on the authority of leadership before it becomes hideous.
One would think with so many returns from the Supreme Court conflicting with the political agenda of the Republican hardliners, they would learn something. But, they learn nothing about governance and remain stupid and stubborn as if that is going to carry out a bloodless coup of the US Constitution.
Speaker Boehner will be resigned by the time the November deadline to move the CR to votes for the 2016 budget. The House is now a circus with media backing from FOX and CNN. The right wing media is anticipating their role in creating complete dysfunction in the House; the ratings will be great.
McConnell is announcing adjournment until Monday the 28th at 4:30 PM. There were no votes in the Senate today. The State Dinner is this evening.

China's President Xi Jinping states openly that China is an emerging country with movement to middle incomes for it's people. He openly states China's GDP is not nearly as well as established as the USA and that has been a consistent over definition of China's economy.
President Xi Jinping openly states the Cold War is over and there is recognition of a global economy that is still yet well defined. He states the relationship been the USA and China is obvious and clear.
Exactly.
Wall Street is over invested in China and it shows. I am more than pleased President Xi Jinping is very open about the relationship between the USA and China. He also inspires the idea in his country that growth is necessary as well as wisdom to plan the future rather than stating, "If you build it, they will come."
I had stated previously, the only way the meeting between President Obama and President Putin would result in intractable war is if China was completely lying about it's relationship with the USA. Russia and China are emerging economies and they have communist governments, but, they have no intention of setting the world on fire by nuclear holocaust in disappointment to the American Neocons.
