How to deal with the terrorists whomsoever they may actually be

Persons identify with the sinners tortured in hell, because they sin. Once you stop sinning, you can begin to identify with the saved in heaven, as opposed to the sinners in hell.

Far as I can tell, true religion consists of fanaticism directed against those who contradict the one and only God, who is way above any created being that He has created, way above, and completely different from, any other being or spirit in existence.

The world has entered into a terrifying new phase of history, featuring the probability of the existence of extra-nationalist terrorists armed with weapons of mass destruction (WMD).

Incidentally regarding terrorism, from a certain perspective, a group that represents one tenth of one percent of the population could label the rest of the population 'terrorist'.

As for the decision regarding whom the 'evil terrorists' are in fact, this decision in the human mind, is of relatively little consequence, because what matters is what is going on in the mind of God. The 'evil terrorists' could be Christian, Muslim, Hindu Jewish, atheist, agnostic, or Buddhist; what we as humans think matters little, what matters is what is in the mind of God; this matters more than the contents of any thousands-of-years old religious book translated and compiled by imperfect mankind.

The main tactical, or perhaps strategic point, is that the evil persons who are the prime sources of evil on the earth, should be counter-acted by certain tactics.

We may not know for sure who these evil persons who are the leaders of the powers most responsible for promoting evil on the earth are, because we do not know for certain exactly what is evil or what is good. Nevertheless we can generalize re tactics slash strategy once these prime sources of evil are identified.

The most truly evil powers of the earth, must be counteracted in a manner that features wisdom. Thus those who understand who the truly evil powers of the earth are, can be effective in contradicting the evil powers of the earth.

I myself wish I was expert in terms of contradicting the truly evil powers of the earth. I'm sure there are many who understand better than I, who the truly evil powers of the earth are.

Still, men such as myself, are obligated to reveal the wisdom that they have, regardless of the wisdom that they do not have.

My estimate as of now, is that once it is discovered who the primary sources of evil, they should be dealt with as follows:

A law should be passed saying that they should be kidnapped; they should be kidnapped all at once in a mass kidnapping; they should be kidnapped all at once in a mass kidnapping because if just a few of them are kidnapped the rest of them will be alerted and on guard.

They should not be killed (foolish persons advocate such) because if they are killed they can not be held for various types of ransom (such as if you blow up the city we will kill your boss), and because if they are killed they will not be able to divulge various types of secrets such as criminal-military slash financial-criminal secrets.

It should be kept in mind that the prime sources of evil on the earth may be capable of attacking the earth with weapons of mass destruction (WMD); well-intentioned fools fail to take into account that the prime perpetrators of evil on the earth may be capable of attacking the earth with weapons of mass destruction (WMD).

The kidapped prime sources of evil can be held as ransom so that their underlings are prevented from destroying the earth in retalation; they can be interrogated regarding secrets such as hidden sources of wealth, hidden crimes committed against the earth's population, and hidden sources of possible retaliation vs the earth via weapons of mass destruction (WMD).

It is unwise to assume that the prime sources of evil on earth are incapable of retaliating against earth via weapons of mass destruction (WMD).

It is foolish to assume that the prime sources of evil on earth are of course, actually at odds with each other when in fact they may be pretending to be at odds with each other.

Even the prime sources of evil on earth should be considered to be possible saints via repentance. This kind of 'softness' with regards to crime, could promote repentance and cooperation amongst the criminal prime sources of evil.

It should be kept in mind that complicated as the repentance of a rich powerful person may be, an imperfect repentance may be enough to avoid hell.

Night of Feb 19 running shoes footwear experiment & rant re tactics vs strategy, Smoot-Hawley

Thursday night of Feb 19 was the first night since Feb 5 that I would say that I was not "under the weather". I did the six mile course around the block, jogging the first third and fifth miles, walking the second fourth and sixth miles, timing myself after the fifth mile.

Night of Thursday Feb 19 the time was either 72 minutes or 82 minutes. I thought the time was 72 minutes starting at 336 AM Feb 20 to be exact, but I think that I actually started at 326 AM so the time was 82 minutes. I ended at 449 AM Feb 20, subtracted one minute for tying my shoes twice.

I had earlier decided that I could remember the start time, and that writing the start time down on a card was unnecessary. This might be wrong. When you write down the start time you can forget about the start time, which is relaxing and frees the mind to think of other things.

Digression:

Reminds me of how emphasis on rote memorization can be harmful as the mind is un-freed to do things other than memorization.

Likewise with emphasis on solving problems extremely quickly compared to the average man, the emphasis on solving problems quickly leads to the mind not being available for something other than mental sprinting.

End digression.

The night of Thursday Feb 19 time of 82 minutes for the five miles around the block would be a new personal record, 4 minutes faster than the new 86 minutes personal record set Feb 17. The fast time was again evidence of the power of taking a day off (the previous day there was no running).

The Adistar Control 5 shoes again worn today, were adequate for the cold and snow. The temp was 21 degrees, thin layer of soft snow on the ground, certain areas for several yards featured unavoidable slippery ice. The Adistar Control 5 shoes breathe more than the Adidas Powerline crosstrainers, the foot gets colder in the Control 5s.

Weather during Feb 19 run link:

Footwear today:

Left shoe:
foam/gel heel-to-toe insole +
'toe bed' (forefoot gel pad ball of foot and toes) +
CVS 'toe bandage' (toe tube) for big toe +
tube made of 2 layers Mueller M-wrap for index toe + tube made of 2 layers Mueller M-wrap for middle toe +
pad made of 16 layers Mueller m-wrap around sides and rear of heel.

Right shoe:
foam/gel heel-to-toe insole +
'toe bed' (forefoot gel pad ball of foot and toes) +
pad made of 8 layers Mueller M-wrap glued to area beneath big, index and middle toes in toe area of gel forefoot pad +
CVS 'toe bandage' (toe tube) for index toe +
CVS 'toe bandage' (toe tube) for middle toe +
pad made of 16 layers Mueller m-wrap around sides and rear of heel.

As has always been the case thus far, the removeable insole that comes pre-installed in the shoes were also worn.

The glue used was 'CVS 'non-toxic' 'School Glue gel' ( http://www.cvs.com/CVSApp/catalog/shop_product_detail.jsp?filterBy=&skuId=886499&productId=886499&navAction=jump&navCount=3 ), just $1 for a 5 oz bottle. This glue was able to hold layers of m-wrap together but the pad made of m-wrap affixed to the gel forefoot pad with the glue, was just very slightly stuck to the gel forefoot pad at the end of the run (though it had not moved out of place). This despite the fact that I used a 25 pound weight to press the m-wrap pad I was trying to glue to the gel pad. Seems the glue can get absorbed into the Muller brand m-wrap as a result of which it is not able to glue the m-wrap to the gel. When this glue hardens it becomes literally hard, it does not turn into a soft padding type gel like best I can recall certain other glues I know of (whose names I cannot now recall).

The foot-wear padding setup used today produced basically good results in terms of comfort except: the left heel was loose; at times there was a sense of unevenness beneath the left toe; at time slight numbness and tingliness were felt in the left foot.

Logical next steps:

1

Use 4 layers of mueller m-wrap as pad under big, index, and middle toes of left foot, glued to left gel forefoot 'toe bed' instead of m-wrap made from 2 layers of Mueller M-wrap on left middle and index toes. This will produce experimental contrast between 4 layers under the toes on the left foot and 8 layers under the toes on the right.

2

Call or visit the 'green' 'organic' 'natural' stores and try to find some glue that is non-toxic, becomes soft and gel-pad-like when it dries instead of hard, and has more sticking power than the CVS 'School Glue Gel'.

Having become aware of how foot pads can be used to detox the body, and how substances can toxify the body entering the body through the skin, I was interested in using a non-toxic glue.

Heck the blue CVS 'non-toxic School Glue Gel' looks and sounds so nice you could drink it up, it gives you fantasies that when it dries it is like the expensive blue gel pads, and it only costs a dollar, but it lacks sticking power, even when you press the glued substances together 'until dry' like the instructions say. That's alot to ask--to 'press together until dry'. I am not a carpenter equipped with all the tools of a carpentry shop.

During the Thursday night Feb 19 run, The left and the right shoes seemed almost equal during the run in terms of comfort. However 45 minutes after the run concluded, pressure heat and itchiness around the left big toe and left index toe began to be felt. This was not the case with the right foot.

Running Tactics

I've noticed that in the first and second miles I tend to go too slowly (I don't use a warmup, the first mile IS my warmup), and that by nature I go fast in the fourth and fifth miles. Thus I reminded myself not to slack off in the first and second miles; and I reminded myself to take advantage of the fact that by nature I am energetic in the fourth and fifth miles.

I heard some political candidate (McCain) boast that he knew the difference between tactics and strategy whereas his opponent did not know the difference. I scoff at this. Fact is, you could know the difference between tactics and strategy, and still be completely inadequate as a military officer.

Words have flexible meanings, exactly what a word means changes over time, this is a fact of life you can ask any linguist.

Tactics refer to for example the tactics of a particular battle, whereas strategy technically speaking refers to a strategy used for more than one battle but who cares?

A sign of incompetence is failing to realize the similarity between tactics and strategy, and how one blends into the other in terms of linguistics.

A strategy could be composed of a set of tactics applied to several different situations. Therefore to see a radical difference between strategy and tactics when in fact no such radical difference exists, could be a symptom of incompetence and/or a cause of incompetence.

Along this line, it is IMHO as of now nutty (a la Senator McCain) to talk about how in the depression of the 1930s a government action carried out was a 'mistake' and so therefore should not be carried out now, when the situation now is completely different from the situation in the 1930s 80 years ago.

Aside from the fact that the alleged mistake was not actually a mistake.

I re-iterate that the idea that we can now succeed by now doing what should have been done but was not done way back in the 1930s,is foolish, because this is 80 years after the 1930s.

Comparing the 1930s to 2009 is like comparing 1950 to 1870. Think of how different the world was in 1950 compared to 1870. Think of a civil war battlefield with its muskets, cannon and horses compared to a 1950s type battlefield with nuclear weapons, tanks, machine guns, and jet planes.
