Previous issues of The United Alaska Campaigner identified the sale of state infrastructure bonds directly to the United States Federal Reserve as Alaska’s primary political goal. Included in this goal are the demands that our federal government recriminalize and extract financial derivatives out of our commercial banking system using the standards set by the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act and the 1936 Commodities Exchange Act. Alaskans will insure continued federal bond sales by prioritizing the creation of state bonds for the following categories of infrastructure and maintenance: bridges, dams, highways, roads, ports, railroads, pipelines, airports, water systems, communication systems, agricultural structures, industrial productive capacity and technology, power production and distribution, schools, homes, and hospitals. To stop all budget cuts and prevent the loss of future revenue, Alaskans will demand a one percent financial investment transactions sales tax, with a one million dollar per year per person exemption for individual investors, to curb high speed gambling by financial cartels and fully fund state and federal budgets. To introduce advanced industrial technologies and promote the creation of new industries, Alaskans will require federal dollars for building a high-energy plasma physics prototype institute at the University of Alaska Anchorage. The overall goal is to fundamentally change state and federal government relations by developing a programmatic long-term approach for increasing productivity, productive capacity and living standards. Infrastructure goals include building the Nawapa Susitna dams, a large diameter instate gas pipeline and related propane- LNG productive capacity, new highway and railroad bridges, including the “Railroad Around the World” development corridor, new septic and water systems, and new fish ladders and hatcheries. Industrial goals include building bridge-crane industrial parks in the Port MacKenzie District that will establish an electric-arc continuous casting rebar steel plant, steel recycling plant, automobile shredder and sorting plant, primary reduction and feeder plant, solid and stranded wire plant, concrete plant, aluminum plant, fluids recycling plant, and rebar bending and coating plant.

Economic goals include promoting technologies and infrastructure investments that create employment and raise living standards by increasing per capital and per square mile energy-flux-density and work-flux-density.

Employment goals include recruiting and educating a new industrial labor force through the process of unloading and recycling scrap steel products from all Alaskan villages, municipalities, oil and gas facilities, and military sites—with all scrap to be delivered to the Port MacKenzie District.

The recommended 50-year mission for the Alaskan economy is to create the industries, machine tools, practical skills, and educational levels necessary to establish Alaska as a major producer of construction and aerospace materials and fuels technology to establish future participation in space colonization.

Educational goals include requiring the teaching of the Synthetic (anti-Euclidian) geometry of Carl Gauss in all Alaskan high schools.

This issue of The United Alaska Campaigner continues the Alaska Emergency Employment Mobilization series with Part 5 focusing on the development of a strategic long-term mission assignment that will guide a successful industrial science policy, based on the “science of technology,” for many years into the future.

This feature article is a direct continuation of the method historically known as the American System of political economy that was used to mobilize for the American Civil War, World War I, World War II, the industrialization of Japan, and the development of the United States as an agricultural industrial superpower. Part 5 begins by framing the issue of industrial science in a true historical epistemology and then gives three historical examples of attempts to prevent the advancement of industry by identifying how these efforts are tied to financial warfare. Part 5 concludes with recommended solutions based on inspiring our youth to develop their creativity and education. This issue of The United Alaska Campaigner is, once again, an important historical document and must be considered required reading for all public policy officials or anyone who plans to vote in the State of Alaska.

Alaska Emergency Employment Mobilization: Part 5; Alaska’s Industria Science Policy

A competent and workable industrial science policy must begin with understanding the attempts to stop the advancement of science and technology by the old empire system of imperialist financial cartels.

For many hundreds of years, polycentric oligarchic interests have worked to destroy the advancement of science and industry to maintain their military, financial, and economic power. The advancement of science for military mobilizations has allowed empires to win wars, but there have always been attempts to prevent the general spillover of technology into civilian use because the advancement of highly efficient industrial technologies challenge the price basis and military supremacy of currently owned assets.

Empires also abhor the profits and political goal setting of a technology-intensive and capital-intensive path of development because these profits and goals end up creating independent money lending institutions that challenge the sovereignty of financial cartels.

Most important, oligarchies attempt to discourage new trans formative technologies because populations that rapidly assimilate scientific methods tend to become more rational and optimistic in their political thinking and end up rejecting the attempts to resurrect the old empire system of political relations.

High educational levels, technological optimism, and an understanding of scientific methods lead populations to demand a higher standard of living for their children and grandchildren. There becomes the realization that the old oligarchic empire system of viewing humans as slaves and fodder for endless war must be replaced by higher goals for humanity and civilization.

All through the ages, the oligarchic empire system has attempted to prevent the advancement of humanity using war, political movements, and propaganda campaigns designed to stop the advancement of civilization.

This report discusses three of these propaganda campaigns, with an emphasis on how this propaganda is used as a weapon of financial warfare. This report also contains critical economic admonitions and introduces the “science of technology” to define long-term strategic goals for Alaska.

Agrarian treason

One of the classic lessons for understanding the opposition to American industry is the agrarian doctrine hotly debated before and during the administration of President Thomas Jefferson. The agrarian doctrine claimed that the superior nature of American culture resulted from the fact that most Americans were self-sufficient farmers. Paid industrial workers were not necessary for the survival of our nation and viewed as inferior to independent farmers because they suffered from the complexity and confusion of city life, with its factories and modern commerce.

Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton rejected the agrarian doctrine and in 1791 published his Communication to the House of Representatives; Report on Manufactures. This issue of The United Alaska Campaigner represents a modern continuation of Alexander Hamilton’s report adapted to the State of Alaska. The problem was that President Jefferson fell for the agrarian doctrine and put a beguiling agrarian, Albert Gallatin in as Treasury Secretary and one of the administrators of the First Bank of the United States. As it turns out, Gallatin was a Swiss oligarch who favored the British Empire and committed financial treason in his appointed position. Some members of Congress recognized his deception and refused to re-charter the First Bank of the United States. Albert Gallatin had come to power using the agrarian doctrine but his real intent was to prevent the advancement of American industry and sovereignty over capital formation because of his allegiance to the financial cartels of old Europe. The agrarian doctrine ultimately killed one of America’s first attempts to create a national bank that would create financial credit for the physical production requirements of human populations.

Post-industrial neglect

Another example of an attempt to restrict the advancement of science and industry through propaganda campaigns is a little more recent. Before and during the 1980s, interlocking directorates of institutes and foundations connected to Wall Street and Inter-Alpha allied banks promoted the post-industrial society doctrine. The post-industrial society doctrine was most notably identified with President Jimmy Carter and his administration’s “white paper” series of books published by McGraw-Hill using the nominal title “The 80’s Project.” Under this policy, industry was no longer required for a successful economy and governments were to restrict their investments to only the overhead sectors of the economy and avoid direct investment into industrial productive capacity and related industrial infrastructure. The truth was that modern day privateers, leftover from the old British Empire, who were looting the productive capacity of agriculture and industry, attempted to justify their debt-pyramiding, asset- stripping and debt-for-equity operation by claiming the United States was now a post-industrial society. Of course, they refused to discuss the inevitable failure of every category of modern infrastructure because of this policy.

The fraud was that financial warfare specialists could more easily extract cash flow out of a weakened industrial sector that was more vulnerable to attack because of a lack of participating public funds and political support. Propaganda for the post-industrial society became an essential feature for the intentional take down, “offshoring,” and “outsourcing” of American industry. In Alaska this post-industrial society policy began under the title “Project 80s.” Many useful and enjoyable public buildings were built all over Alaska in the last 30 years following this doctrine, including new arenas, convention centers, performing arts centers, community centers, visitors centers, gymnasiums, pools, museums, libraries, sports centers, and courthouses. The problem is that industrial infrastructure and productive capacity was almost completely neglected. Even though these public investments made Anchorage and other towns in Alaska more livable, the problem was that focusing almost all infrastructure efforts on pleasurable cultural toys could accurately be described as “playboy economics.” Ignoring investments into industrial revenue development and industrial infrastructure ended up having consequences that would constrain Alaska’s potential in the future. Today most of our ports lack fresh/sewage water systems, electrical hookups, inter- modal transport buildings, bridge-crane buildings, dry docks, and physical land area for the modular construction industry. In addition to neglecting our ports, efforts to create modern bridge-crane industrial parks were met with never-ending post- industrial society intellectual opposition. Today we can look out the windows of our modern government buildings to see Alaska’s industrial workers struggling outside in all weather conditions to unload trucks and sort materials that should be sorted and or produced in modern industrial facilities. The Alaska Industrial Development Authority has successfully been involved in limited productive capacity investments in mining yet, until recently, completely neglected Alaska’s major source of state government revenue. This post-industrial, “hands off,” laissez-faire approach continues to guide our government relations with Alaska’s oil industry. Current efforts to reduce taxes on oil companies without requiring new productive capacity investments are clearly a continuation of post-industrial economics. Without a legal framework for requiring physical investments, profits will continue to flow directly into financial derivatives instead of productive capacity. Today Alaska has a major oil pipeline nearing the end of its design life, oil fields that increasingly do not fill up our pipeline, refineries that are worn out and past their design life, and a severe lack of drilling rig investment in the Cook Inlet. Not only have we neglected our ports and oil industry but our university still does not have machine tool and engineering support facilities for prototype development. University support for technological advancement and private industrial entrepreneurship has been used successfully in many States since the founding of our nation, but not in Alaska. The recent creation of our university’s Seawolf Venture Fund, the municipal 49th State Angel Fund and Alaska’s ASSETS program increased the bureaucracy necessary for development, yet these programs suffer from the same “naked entrepreneurship” problems that caused the failure of the Alaska Science and Technology Foundation. Our industrial entrepreneurship is still naked and naked entrepreneurship will almost always fail. Today Alaska’s entrepreneurs are denied long-term state and federal strategic goal setting and financial credit, denied access to advanced technologies through our university system, suffer from post- industrial intellectual opposition, and are further denied clothes by being subjected to the non-science propaganda of the “sustainability doctrine.”

Sustainability means no advances in physics

Under the sustainability doctrine, superior industrial technologies are rejected in favor of technologies that can never challenge the price basis for the modes of production currently owned by oligarchic financial cartels. Put on your critical thinking cap and think about this in plain and direct terms of reference. Sustainability is a conceptual fraud because technologies have a
beginning and end to their dominance in industry. We are no longer using horses for general transportation because the internal combustion engine has a far superior efficiency for moving people and products. Most old technologies will continue to have some limited application, but new industries require advances into higher levels of productivity. The green technologies promoted by the sustainability doctrine are functionally a waste of effort toward developing new industries because new manufacturing systems require qualitative transformations into higher states of productivity. The key to jobs creation is to transform the labor force through creating new divisions of labor based on fundamental changes to the efficiency of production, most readily through the application of technologies based on new physical principles.

The current multibillion-dollar worldwide campaign for sustainability is being used to promote those technologies and industrial investments that are so inefficient they can never create new manufacturing systems or challenge the dirty fuel systems that are choking our cities to death. Wind, solar, biofuels and tidal power will never challenge current industrial systems and will never create new technological divisions of labor because they cannot demonstrate any challenges to the physics of the science of technology discussed in the next section of this report. From a financial point of view, these weak, inefficient technologies are so inferior that most cannot prove that any residual productive capacity will be left over after the construction debt is retired—after requiring large public subsidies. Even worse, some of these projects will actually have debt left over after the productive capacity has exceeded its design life! In Alaska, compare the green sustainable projects to the truly efficient Susitna hydroelectric project that has potentially over one hundred years design life after the debt is retired and you will begin to understand the conceptual falseness of sustainability. The current sustainability propaganda campaign that limits technological capability is more sophisticated than previous examples cited, yet the falseness of the idea can be understood even more clearly through a basic understanding of both the science of technology and the dynamics of financial warfare.

Science of Technology

Historically what became known as the science of technology is identified with the Renaissance polymath, Leonardo da Vinci. His ideas were advanced and institutionalized in the French Ecole Polytechnique and then introduced to the United States Military Academy at West Point in the early 1800s.

Early in the history of West Point, Early in the history of West Point, of political economy was combined with teaching physics and engineering and became the foundation for teaching financial warfare, physical economy and war mobilization.

An understanding of economics as a branch of physics was already known through such networks as Benjamin Franklin’s American Philosophical Society. Franklin made electricity useful to mankind and understood that the discovery and application of new physical principles would transform world civilization.

The science of technology as taug today includes energy-flux-density, work-flux-density, energy coherence, volumetric energy density, volumetric energy efficiency, principle of least action, machine tool principle, torque, horsepower, and relative potential population density. Keeping in mind that the principle is always more important than the mathematical formula that derives from the principle, a historical example is best to describe the science of technology. Mankind first burned wood, then coal, then oil, and then uranium. The repetitive principle is that increasing the energy- flux-density—concentration and coherence of industrial heat power—allows for a redefinition of the usable resource base.

Technology defines what is a usable resource; oil was not considered a primary resource until the oil lamp and the internal combustion engine increased the energy- flux-density of transportation and living- space infrastructure.

More important for understanding the process of jobs creation and the falsenes of sustainability is that qualitative changes in energy-flux-density, or other physical principles, increase the complexity of the social divisions of labor through the creation of the new employment required to produce the more complex industrial productive capacity and technology.

At the same time, users of the new technology and capital goods gain the ability to tackle larger and more complex projects at a much lower labor cost because of improved productivity.

Using highly advanced machine tools, manufacturing processes, and construction equipment and materials to build large- scale infrastructure projects increases labor productivity so greatly that projects that could never be built economically become cheap enough to actually be built.

Advances in the science of technology in recent years currently allow new large-scale water projects to be built to create jobs and reverse the desertification plaguing most of the world’s continents.

Financial warfare

The problem is that financing projects on a scale that has never been attempted before challenge the existing structures of financial systems. Financial cartels are generally not interested in a large-scale infrastructure path of development because large- scale infrastructure typically has low rates of financial return and therefore creates political goals that challenge the sovereignty of financial institutions. Political goals for introducing new highly productive industrial technology and new infrastructure is viewed as a problem for those financial institutions that prefer to draw cash flow from the decay of existing productive capacity and infrastructure. The admonition is that some institutions will only participate in large-scale infrastructure development as a strategy for intentionally pyramiding debt. It is more oligarchic and cheaper for the financial interests to fund propaganda campaigns such as agrarianism, the post-industrial society, or sustainability.

One of the most important lessons of financial warfare is to understand that the profits of production from agriculture, industry, and infrastructure have historically been a small fraction compared to profits from speculative gambling. Financial institutions prefer to make side bets on side bets with no equity position because gambling potentially has a much greater profitability compared to producing physical products or investing in large-scale infrastructure development.

The long-term problem is that excessive speculative gambling eventually debt- pyramids and wrecks entire nations. This is the root of the problem that is currently racing the world economy toward a new horrific world depression. The modern nation state system has recognized this never-ending problem and many attempts have been made in the past to regulate and assert sovereignty over financial systems to hold speculative gambling in check in order to protect the physical requirements of human populations.

Ferdinand Pecora, Chief Counsel to the U.S. Senate Committee on Banking and Currency, led the 1933 investigation into the financial crash of 1929, and Phil Angelides, Chairman of the 2011 Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission, led the investigation into the current financial crisis. Both of these men added to our nation’s understanding of financial warfare and requirements for financial regulation. Their efforts are a direct continuation of the methods taught by U.S. Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton.

The primary regulatory battle over who has sovereignty in credit creation is most clearly identified in Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution which includes that Congress shall coin and regulate money. This legal mandate, which became the domain of the President, is the primary weapon against the financial warfare of oligarchic financial cartels. Since the founding of our nation, there has been a constant battle over Article I, Section 8 of our Constitution and varying degrees of success in this battle is what has allowed the United States to follow an energy-intensive, capital-intensive, and technology-intensive path of development in spite of never-ending oligarchic opposition to this policy.

Without constantly fighting for the economic principles of our Constitution, attempts at large-scale infrastructure development would not create new industries and would debt pyramid our nation because the speculative excesses of financial cartels act as a parasite on the credit creation necessary to build the infrastructure that drives the demand for advanced industrial technologies. History has shown us that these cartels will use any and all methods to prevent challenges to their power, including their propaganda discussed here.

The admonition here is that Alaska is not immune to oligarchic propaganda campaigns and not immune to debt pyramiding itself through poor choices in infrastructure and technology.

One method for averting a debt pyramid is for Alaska to demand bonding for our infrastructure projects from the United States Federal Reserve. If we can successfully band together with other States and force our federal government to follow the mandates of Article I, Section 8 of the United States Constitution, then we will be able to take much of our capital expenditures off budget.

The fact that most of the world’s financial system is increasingly strangled by a massive derivatives bubble, combined with the dynamics of financial warfare, indicate that there is no other choice today for our economic system.

Either our Federal Reserve starts to directly purchase state infrastructure bonds, and extracts parasitical derivatives out of our commercial banking system, or we will fail as a nation and we will all live in poverty for the rest of our lives.

Alaska’s industrial science policy

So how do we decide what is the besttechnological path for Alaska when the survival of our economy is directly threatened? The history of technological and industrial investments in Alaska, like most economies, is rife with failures. The well intentioned, yet poorly written legislation that created the Alaska Science and Technology Foundation was finally and rightfully put out of its misery. An inability to lawfully fund development, or prioritize strategic goals through the Alaska Science and Engineering Advisory Commission, compounded a policy that was described by senior analysts as “naked entrepreneurship.” We learned again that industrial corporations, cooperatives and entrepreneurship without long-term goals, without access to financial credit, without university support, and without a government that is funding infrastructure will most likely fail.

Yet our current path guided by the sustainability doctrine is no solution either. Setting state goals based on propaganda instead of science is predetermined to fail. We must start fresh with a new Alaska Science Foundation that will have goal based on the science of technology that will drive our economy for many years.

Alaska is a resource state and will be a resource state for many decades and therefore requires an industrial science policy that is based on resourcedevelopment. Alaska also requires the industries that will create jobs by producing construction materials to be consumed building infrastructure in Alaska.

Our strategic path of survival will be to develop technologies that are complementary for both resource development and capital goods industry.

Only heavy industrial plasma processing technologies have that potential and therefore must receive the greatest funding over the longest period of time.

Alaska now has major industrial mining operations in many locations around our state that need to take the next step, not just into smelting, but also into producing a final product. The missing component is high-energy plasma processing. Not only is thermal and nonthermal plasma processing the next industrial step necessary for our mining industry, it is the required step for
our oil and petrochemical industries to start producing super-clean fuels.

Our strategic path will be to build materials and petrochemical industries initially with the world’s best “off the shelf technology” then use our university system as the catalyst for retrofitting new technologies into these industries just a few years into their design life.

The admonition is that the construction materials will be highly productive yet not highly profitable unless our federal andstate governments begin an infrastructure-led recovery or until the advanced second- generation technologies give us the ability to be internationally competitive.

The early cash flow will come mostly from selling highly profitable strategic materials from our mining industry. The genius is that our labor force will gain knowledge and practical skills, producing both construction and strategic materials while our scientists and engineers work on a project that complements resource extraction, 3D printing, and clean fuels production.

Our special advantage is that Alaskans are United States citizens; therefore we can gain access to currently restricted military industria technologies through our university system. Combine this fact with Alaska’s unlimited strategic minerals and natural gas, and we have the potential for a workable industrial science policy.

Alaska’s long-term industrial science policy mission assignment will be to miniaturize plasma-arc continuous casting, robotic capital goods production for construction, strategic, ceramic, composite and aerospace materials and to miniaturize heavy industrial plasma processing for primary reduction and clean fuels production. No longer will we tolerate the Alaska Aerospace Corporation’s and the AlaskaIndustrial Development Authority’s non-investment into plasma processing.

A clearly defined mission for aerospace and construction materials development will motivate them to participate in both the strategic materials industry and the construction materials industry while creating the potential to redefine the usable resource base for all humanity.

A vision for the future

More important, a space colonization mission for heavy industrial plasma processing and related complementary industries will lay the machine tool foundation necessary for the future mining of asteroids and starship construction in space. Sustainable technologies can never achieve this space colonization goal. Most important, the cultural effects of a space mission assignment for industrial science will inspire our children to develop their creativity and motivate them to value their personal self-development.

In a practical way, a long-term space colonization science driver will focus our efforts on the superior technologies necessary to create employment for our children when they become adults.

Our youth deserve the cultural optimism that will come from participating in the discovery and development of new worlds for human habitation. Do not underestimate the power of motivating our culture through such an inspirational goal.

The long-term key to jobs creation and the survival of our economy is qualitative transformations into higher states of existence that create new divisions of labor based on fundamental changes to the efficiency of production. This fact is adirect repudiation of agrarianism, the post-industrial society and the sustainability propaganda promoted by financial oligarchies attempting to resurrect the old empire system by managing the decay of civilization.

Alaskans require new transformative technologies that create new clean
industries guided by long-term goals for humanity. Alaska’s industrial science policy will give Alaskans the physical ability to create new employment and have the hope and cultural optimism necessary to participate in making our world and other worlds a better place to live.

I have been writing and distributing The United Alaska Campaigner economics newsletter and related published articles for 29 years. Most of my adult life has been devoted to the process of learning what I must know to continue writing.

My readers know that I have a never-ending passion for history and always put my writing in historical context. For employment, I followed in the path of my father and grandfather and became a third generation journeyman union ironworker.

I helped build my first industrial building when I was 18-years old and in my 33 years as an ironworker I became one of Alaska’s leading experts on industrial bridge-crane building construction and design. My greatest joy has been to tour all over Alaska and leave behind giant steel and concrete structures wherever I go.

In the winters I would travel to the States to build a few buildings and participate in political events. Over the years I had the opportunity to tour many industrial facilities and talk to engineers so I could include what I learned in my newsletter.

I have never been paid to write this newsletter and have made many sacrifices in my personal life to continue this process. My reward will be someday when a future historian will say that I got my facts right and I offered workable solutions to the onrushing world depression.
