seeks to collaborate on the ineluctable truth. Ineluctable means: Not to be assailed, avoided, broken, changed,
escaped, mystified, neglected, obfuscated, rationalized, resisted, revoked, or
voided. Some people erroneously imagine limiting the ineluctable truth, for
example, trying to change it.
"Civic"
refers to citizens who collaborate for individual
happiness with civic integrity more than for the city, state, nation, or
society. Civic citizens neither initiate nor accommodate harm to or from
anyone. Civic citizens are reliably responsible to the good rather than the bad
in connections and transactions.
Consider
writing a personal paraphrase of the preamble, which offers fellow citizens
mutual appreciation: For discussion, I convert the preamble’s predicate phrases to nouns and
paraphrase its proposal as follows: The civic faction, We the People of the United States,
proffer & practice 6 public pursuits —- integrity, justice, safety,
strength, prosperity, and responsibility, “in order to” pursue happiness “to
ourselves and our Posterity”. I want to improve
my interpretation by listening-to and considering other citizens and their
interpretations yet would preserve the original, 1787 text, unless it is
amended by the civic-people.
It seems the
Supreme Court occasionally refers to it, and no one with status has challenged
whether or not the preamble is a legal statement. The fact that it changed this
independent country from a confederation of states to a union of states
deliberately managed by appreciative fellow citizens convinces me the preamble
is legal. Equity in opportunity and outcome is shared by the faction who
collaborate for statutory justice, We the People of the United States.
Every citizen
has equal opportunity to either trust-in and collaborate-on the goals stated in
the preamble or be dissident to the agreement. I think 2/3 of citizens try
somewhat to use the preamble but many do not articulate commitment to the
goals. However, it seems less than 2/3 understand that “posterity” implies
grandchildren to both born Americans and legal immigrants. Congressional
freedom of religion, which fellow citizens have no means to constrain,
oppresses freedom to develop integrity. This can be remedied by changing the
First Amendment from “prohibiting” to “promoting”.
Selected theme from this month
Necessary goodness motivates and inspires good behavior
We know that on earth, humankind is responsible for order.
So far, education departments have not accepted that it’s a bottom up opportunity: Each person may and can constrain chaos in
their way of living and thereby aid humankind in the quest for good behavior. Each
city may and can encourage, facilitate, and improve civic citizens’
comprehension of necessary goodness and civilly constrain badness, wickedness,
and evil. Each state may mimic good behavior by its civic cities. Each nation
may mimic its civic states. The consequence could be a world with civic
constraint on both badness and wickedness plus continual annihilation of evil.
Each person may and can collaborate with citizens past and
present to discover necessary goodness and promote good behavior “to ourselves
and our Posterity”.

Antagonistic media don't seem to have the intelligence to
consider the fact that they look stupid to citizens of the United States. If
reporters represent other countries, those countries need to wake up to their
national ruin they invite by not cautioning their reporters.
Even after Thom Tillis answered with the facts respecting
Biden's failures, Mark Rutte stepped in to show NATO gratitude for the relief
United States citizens delivered by voting for President Trump and for Trump's
kind delivery on his promises.
And Rutte rejected Shaheen's claim that Trump was weak in
starting the clock yesterday rather than taking final action against Putin,
without giving Putin-allies a chance to avoid loss.
It's past time for the Democratic Party to divorce
themselves from their leftist members and from the leftist media. If they
continue to bleed stupidity, it will take them more than 100 years to recover.
And it's past time for the world to recognize that the
United States pursues necessary goodness against wickedness. Other nations may
and can choose good behavior.

Dear Mr. President:
A non-atheist, I do not accept theists’ labels to me, like
“atheist”, except for their pleasure. I am a god facing death (Psalm 82,
Orthodox Jewish Bible) and, therefore, responsibly resist whoever is wicked.
I trust-in and commit-to whatever constrains the
consequences of human choice; for talk, call it “The God”.
Judeo-Christianity covers arrogant controversies, starting
with Elohim/G-d in Genesis 1 and ending with The Trinity, suggested in Hebrews
9 competitively codified by 405 CE.
Also, 5500 years ago humans were killed to obtain blood and
flesh to be burned to the gods of polytheism to redeem survivors’ sins. Killing
animals and birds for blood sacrifice continued 3900 years ago as monotheism
emerged.
After Yeshua was executed in 33 CE, entrepreneur Paul sold
Christ as the blood sacrifice for all souls rather than for sins. I opine
Judeo-Christianity’s blood sacrifice fails sufficient humility to The God; I do
not know the ineluctable truth.
I heard that Iran
offers $40 million for killing you. Genesis 1:26-28, 31 suggests that only
female and male humankind may and can provide necessary good on earth.
Therefore, I am counting on you and yours, United States secret service,
police, and military forces to protect your life. I look to good behavior
rather than religious prayer.
I’m 82 and love life so much I hope for another 40 years and
to meet you sometime in your retirement perhaps 3 years hence.
Sincerely,
Phil Beaver
#USpreambler, #acivicpeople
@Cow Bell. Read the Judeo-Christian literature I cited,

What a United States gift to humankind this honoree and
ceremony is!
Mike Johnson, the musicians, speakers -- including honoree,

good behavior.
#acivicpeople, #USpreambler
The speaker traditionally, erroneously
segued from American “independence” to European-Enlightenment “freedom” and
“liberty”.
Freedom cannot be granted by an institution, let alone a nation.
“So that we may all live free” cannot be accomplished on earth: each person may
and can earn her or his living.
Liberty
is license attempted by politics. For example, the CSA’s Christianity wanted
liberty to enslave people but had not the military power to license injustice.
Liberation Theology similarly errs.
Independence is an ineluctable civic-obligation to every human being.
Each person’s power, authority, and responsibility to good behavior cannot be
usurped.
The United States Constitution,
ratified by representatives of 14 states on December 15, 1791, intends and pursues
the practice, encouragement, and facilitation to personal and collaborative
good behavior.
Let the commemoration in New York
Harbor be known as the Statute of Independence on Independence Island, USA.

Dear Mr. President:

Homo sapiens think in words, phonics, and grammar – language
passed down through the generations. To pursue comprehension of opinions held
in today’s Middle East requires appreciation of history’s impact on individual
and cultural evolution during the recent 5500 years.
Sumerian-speaking people invented writing in a distinct-language
or isolate. Together, their inventions to convert from agrarian to urban living,
their law codes, and their war-treaties suggest that polytheistic mysteries admit
that humankind is responsible to order the earth.
Coexisting with others in ancient Mesopotamia, a global
trading-crossroad, were Semitic-speaking, Egyptian-speaking, and
Proto-Indo-European speakers (including Iranian and Greek).
About 4000 years ago, a Semitic-speaking tribe left Ur to
escape oppression. A faction, struggling for a homeland, featured two matriarchs,
Semitic Sarah and Egyptian Hagar. Sarah begot Israel and Hagar begot the Arabs.
In Genesis 16, Israel damns the Arabs.
As an advocate for the Genesis 1:26-28 and 31 claim that
it is good that humankind is responsible for order on earth, I think Israel can
denounce Genesis 16 claims against Hagar’s descendants.
The scholarly consideration of events after 63 B.C.,
reported in Anders Corr’s “Gaza: The Moral Collapse of War”, June 9, 2024,
Epoch Times, pale before the Genesis 16 offense against Arabs. Reforming this
3700 year-old error would facilitate Arab-states’ appreciation to Israel and to
Judeo-Christianity.
#USpreambler
All
humankind, every person, may and can read the complete Bible. Some people take
Genesis 1 as the beginning. It seems to assert that The God (whatever
constrains the consequences of human choice, perhaps the laws of physics),
assigned to female and male humankind, together, responsibility to order life
on earth.
Accepting Genesis 1:26-28 establishes a civic, civil, and intentional wall of
separation: The God reigns supreme in the universe and assigns to
humankind responsibility to order the earth. Prayer to The God to
usurp human responsibility vainly attempts to claim undue favor on earth.
It is not too late for Jews, Catholics, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists,
atheists, indeed all religious societies to reform.

I think the typical human infant pursues
self-discovery-within and reacts-to his or her environment. If
most of the people in that environment accept the power, authority, and
responsibility to pursue necessary goodness, the infant is likely to acquire
comprehension and intention to practice human being (verb). If the environment
is negative, the infant is less likely to develop good behavior and may die
young.
As evolution unfolds, humankind becomes more aware that
something constrains the consequences of human choices to act. The civic
citizens want to know about past errors, in order to avoid repetition of loss
and pain. By all means, they do not repeat personal mistakes. However, very few
young people accept that they may and can avoid error. That’s because education
departments do not teach the ineluctable evidence to necessary goodness.
Ineluctable means neither avoidable, nor changeable, nor resistible.
Judges, clergymen, and educators “protect” the public from the
ineluctable truth, in order to pretend to control gullible groups. Consequently,
there are 195 nations and 4200 religions on earth.
The civic citizen is a god facing death and therefore does not
fall prey to nationalism or religion, even though he or she may aid pursuit of
necessary goodness in both their homeland and their chosen religion. Civic
citizens encourage and facilitate good behavior to passives and rebels, aid
constraint-of criminals, and support annihilation-of evil.
The civic faction may and can reform every education department
so as to inculcate in youth and adults the pursuit of human being (verb) for
long life.
Good behavior is naturally human, but, so far, humankind has not
accepted the power, authority, and responsibility to pursue necessary goodness
on earth. We may be at the abyss; if so, the future seems good.

https://www.quora.com/How-do-you-distinguish-between-moral-and-ethical-issues? Alfred Dominic
I think it’s duty vs performance.
Using Merriam-Webster shields Americans from European opinion. “Ethical”
addresses the discipline dealing with what is good and bad and with moral duty
and obligation. “Moral” is of or relates-to principles of right and wrong in
behavior. Thus, ethical addresses duty while moral addresses
performance.
Civic duty is addressed in 5500 year-old literature, at least writing from the
Sumerian civilization and subsequent opinion. Sumer’s political philosophy is
parochially stated in Genesis 1:26-28, 31:
On earth, civic humankind discovers and applies necessary goodness.
Human duty is expressed in Psalm 82: The
gods facing death constrain wicked people. Capability is expressed in Matthew
5:48: Be perfect.
While the Declaration of Independence (1776) merely declares war on King George
II, the United States Constitution, ratified on December 15, 1791, proffers the
pursuit of statutory justice (morally improves ancient Sumerian civics).
#USpreambler, #acivicpeople
Politics is the human competition of ordering and executing
choice of the good rather than the bad. Truth purses the good, in order to
preserve opportunity, even to survive. Civic citizens pursue reliable
responsibility to the truth. Civic laws pursue statutory justice.
Dissidents, rebels, and villains manipulate the truth. For
example, changing the object deludes civic integrity. Promoting freedom rather
then responsibility lessens viability.
The truth often cannot be discerned. For example, no one
knows whether The God, the laws of physics, or something else constrains the
consequences of each human choice. Reason, revelation, and belief have no power
over the ineluctable truth. Only evidence can be used to pursue the ineluctable
truth. Thus, cosmic effects dwarf fossil fuel consumption’s impacts on earth’s
temperature cycles.
Priests, politicians, lawyers, judges, and educators
collaborate to hide from the public the word “ineluctable” and the phrase
“ineluctable truth”. “Ineluctable” means “not to be assailed, avoided, changed,
escaped, mystified, neglected, obfuscated, rationalized, or resisted.” The
emphasis shows usages listed by Merriam Webster. Collins omits “changed”.
Google scanned-book statistics (ngrams) show 2 decades’ study of “inescapable”,
in 1550, then of “ineluctable”, in 1570. In 1906, “the ineluctable truth” was
published, and usage has grown since then. The art of philosophy avoids
evaluation needed to apply adjectives like “ineluctable” and unfortunately stymies
understanding: Civic humankind uses words to journey toward understanding
rather than to accumulate mere knowledge. Yet knowledge is essential to
understanding.
I think the viable object of your question is “the
ineluctable truth” and I hope your query leads to exponential increase in usage
of ineluctable truth and ineluctable evidence.
Civic citizens practice good behavior more than religious comfort.

Ali, I wrote the phrase "god facing death" nearly
30 years ago. Clare and Tom Leeper visited that Saturday to learn where in the
literature I had found the phrase. I recently obsessed over discovery that it
is discern-able in Psalm 82;
https://www.blogger.com/blog/posts/4655583450419191043.
And now, here comes your wonderful gallery of potential gods and goddesses
facing death.
If every education department reformed to inculcate the Psalm 82 observation,
the gods and goddesses facing death would graduate in confidence that they want
to, may, and can always choose good behavior, or at least not repeat badness.
In my opinion, your photography seems to express that Magnolia youth are
getting that message, whether it is Psalm-82-articulated or not.
Thank you for sharing.

As a fan of legal immigrants, I see a problem.
Most citizens don't realize that "We the People" is a faction of the
United States citizens who understands the preamble. Each member of that
faction owns their interpretation of the intentions proffered in the statement.
I think the trust and commitments are: integrity, justice, safety, strength,
prosperity, and responsibility, “in order to” pursue good behavior “to
ourselves and our Posterity”.
I think citizens who don't possess a viable opinion of the United States'
intentions to necessary goodness ought not receive a license to vote.
I have written to fellow citizens including Mr. President to request voter
licensing according to this idea. I hope you will support the movement.

Emily Toth Acceptance of personal
ignorance keeps me curious: I do everything I can to prevent the expression,
"I believe". I think some people use passionate opinion about
anecdotal happenings to try to denigrate other people and their work.
My MRI in 2019 showed only a minor infarction, in my heart-care saga, which
surfaced in 1993. Then, Cynthia, walking with me for health, asked, "Why
did you slow your pace?" I admitted I was suffering chest pains. She
called 911.
Three decades later, unbelieving, I regrettably fell prey to CDC momentum. In
2021, I took 2 COVID-19 vaccines and a booster. In 2022 walking, I perceived
that I had lost both former pulmonary strength and resistance to common cold. I
worked hard to restore immunity and strength.
In June, 2025, I suffered a minor yet significant stroke, apparent on MRI and
accompanied by the discovery of atrial fibrillation -- unheard of in my
extensive history.
I am ignorant about the actually-real cause of the blood-clot that caused my
recent stroke and am curious if there is any evidence that the 2021
vaccinations drastically changed the cardio activities in my body.
I hope to live to learn some answers, based not on passionate reasoning, but on
the ineluctable evidence. Passion seems to justify belief, while research
discloses the ineluctable truth.
I doubt supporting other people's passions defeats the ineluctable truth.

We Homo sapiens, who can be gods facing death (Psalm 82, Orthodox Jewish

The first 4 decades empower comprehension and intention to never repeat an
error. The second 4 decades facilitate discovery-of and practice-unto necessary
goodness. Reaching the ninth decade facilitates opportunity to never repeat an
error. Fortunate gods develop faster.

I am reminded of Abraham Lincoln's 1st inaugural address and
his plea to the 7 seceding states, which I modify, “Why should there not be a
patient confidence in the ultimate justice of the people? Is there any better
or equal hope in the world? [The ineluctable truth and] justice will surely
prevail by the judgment of [the] great tribunal of the American people.” In
1861, the seceding states were aware of 7:27 unfavorable military and economic
strength and had no excuse for devastating loss by 1865. Yet Lincoln does not
seem noble to me.

Let me share an unusual idea, expressed in Psalm 82,
Orthodox Jewish Bible, featuring "Elohim" followed by
"elohim"; which may be taken as God then god. Quoting, "I have
said, elohim ye are . . . ye shall die like adam . . . Arise, Elohim, judge
[the land].
I think the Jewish message, when extended to humankind, is: Each human who
pursues responsible living, in The God's image, is a god facing death. By never
repeating a human error, each person may and can perfect their unique person
before dying.
Further, The God always chooses necessary goodness. Personal and collective
human duty, is to discover, choose, and practice goodness.
I think it is the duty of every religion to consider this teaching and inform
their youth, adolescents, and adults of personal opportunity to adopt the
attendant authority, power, and responsibility to human being (the practice).

Greg, please jaw within the wrestling community about paired
concepts: attraction and ineluctability.
I have been writing and speaking about "ineluctable" for about a
decade. I thought no judge, lawyer, priest, minister, or educator would pay
attention. However, a priest changed my experience.
I titled Cynthia's eulogy, "The Ineluctable Cynthia" and offered
evidence that she is so morally attractive that her person is not to be
avoided, changed, or resisted. "Now you know what 'ineluctable'
means." I said she taught me the Psalm 82 instruction (Orthodox Jewish
Bible) that a god facing death may and can aid a goddess during life. Yeshua
affirmed the idea in John 10:34, CJB.
That was on May 27. On June 8, Fa. Joel LaBauve, in his homily, recalled
planning for Cynthia and informed that church that "ineluctable"
derives from ancient Greco-Roman wrestling. Attraction to the sport causes
contestants to risk ineluctable submission.
What are modern wrestlers thoughts on this?

July 16
From July 16 morning's walk in the park:
Every education department may and can reform from devising and imposing civil
discipline to pursuing and practicing good behavior -- before the next
school-year starts. Most new students intend good behavior.
Genesis 1:26-28, 31, Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB), informs us, and we may accept
that female and male humankind is in charge on earth. The laws of physics
motivate humankind to discover the ineluctable truth and apply it to the
necessary good. The God, whatever constrains the consequences of human choices,
cannot and will not usurp humankind’s duty to the good: each human may choose
to be wicked.
We may accept that the Homo sapien is a goddess/god facing death (Psalm 82,
OJB). By always choosing the necessary good and not repeating human mistakes,
they may and can perfect their person before death. Reading about mistakes by
both past and contemporary people and reacting to experience, a humble person
may live long enough to attain the habit of never repeating a mistake.
We may accept that Yeshua informed us we can be perfect, in Matthew 5:48,
Complete Jewish Bible. Yeshua would not have said we may if we could not.
(Learn about the unique, mostly uncelebrated religio-political philosopher,
Yeshua, at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yeshua.)
So far, humankind has not accepted the Genesis-1 power, authority, and
responsibility (PAR) to pursue necessary goodness. Instead, divinity schools
promote Genesis 2 -3 "fall of man", in order to resist responsibility
to good behavior. Consequently, education departments never inculcated
comprehension and intention to human being (good behavior).
Doubting power, authority, and responsibility to necessary goodness, educators
contrive civil discipline to students. "Educators" appeal to
disruptors to observe ever changing rules; they suspend offenders; and they
expel terrorists into the streets. Educators ressign to police the
responsibility for expelled gods-facing-death. Parents who never considered
personal PAR perceive their expelled-child a victim. They're victims of
generations of wrongful educators, judges, and clergy.
Everybody knows the typical human infant pursues necessary goodness. Perhaps
one in 10 billion budding students discovers necessary goodness and pursues it
in resilient humility. The others need guidance to discover their natural
desire to behave – to choose goodness at every opportunity. But guidance to
necessary goodness is scarce. Since most of humankind does not embrace power,
authority, and responsibility to necessary goodness, the student has little
chance.
Between now and the first of school, every education department may reform from
disciplining students. Educators may discover and practicing good behavior, in
order to encourage and facilitate both students and their parents to goodness.
Informed parents and students may and can accept the power, authority, and
responsibility to choose good behavior.
People may act good in order to be good – for their own life.

At the park this morning, reflecting on Psalm 82, Orthodox
Jewish Bible's suggestion -- humble citizens are elohim facing death, I
perceived wellness in the thought: Cynthia (d. May 17, 2025) remains a goddess.
Joyfully to me, Holly, Stephen (d. July 21, 1991), and Rebekah, express our
offspring; Yeshua, the Bible's advocate for necessary goodness, is and always
was my Lord; and it is no burden to me that other civic citizens pursue their
personal Lords, such as Cynthia's Jesus-and-God-the-same-entity.
I think both Genesis 1:26-28,31 (OJB) and the United States Constitution
advocate civic citizenship to the world.
I think civic citizens PRACTICE goodness, in humility to The God -- whatever
constrains human choice; AID civil citizens to establish and maintain statutory
justice; ENCOURAGE and facilitate dependent citizens to reform; HELP constrain
criminals; and SUPPORT annihilating evils.

This week, I continue learning from a happening -- a stroke my body overcame in
20 minutes on 6/24/25: In my ninth decade, I continue deep research to pursue
personal opinion and should not, will not choose to stop.
From experience, I think opinion can only approach rather than reach the
ineluctable truth; to believe my opinion terminates improvement. Whenever I
perceive unavoidable, unchangeable, and irresistible evidence, I want to share
with another person/group, in order to learn from their perceptions. I hope to
learn from them a viewpoint I should consider. But talk is not possible if the
other person does not comprehend the object of consideration – a mutual Catch
22.
During 6/24-6/26 hospitalization, after a stroke my body made minor on the MRI
scan, I learned that if I condense complex opinion before speaking, typical
listeners understand and their response may be something I need to consider.
For example, the way things are, contemporary debate obscures what could be
known; humankind may and can reform. Let me illustrate: The Israel-Arab wars
that enslave humankind cannot be resolved in contemporary considerations, such
as 1948 United Nations settlement, because war-politics originated earlier than
5500 year-old traditions about mysteries. Then, in Mesopotamia, a people with
an isolated language, Sumerian, invented both writing and the political
philosophy that on earth, humankind — woman and man -- is in charge of order,
even to polytheistic politics (Genesis 1:26-28, 31, Orthodox Jewish Bible). In
other words, The-God-in-charge-of-everything, whatever it is, holds humankind
responsible on earth. But divisive groups pursue their Doctrinal God the group
hopes will overthrow The God – usurp human responsibility to order life on
earth.
Sumerians co-existed with families of competing cultures, including 1)
Afro-Asiatics, such as Egyptians; and Semites, both Jewish and Arab and 2)
Indo-Europeans, such as Iranians and Greeks. Five modern cultures – Israeli,
Arab, Greek, Iranian, and Egyptian -- are among the hundreds of civilizations
that are mysteriously represented in ancient literature. Sumerians thought race
has no impact on human being, the practice.
Humankind may and can reform, so as to accept the statistical variations, like
hair, eye, and skin color, that the laws of physics impose on life on earth.
Education institutions may and can reform, in order to teach youth,
adolescents, and adults to personally comprehend, intend, and practice
necessary goodness. Thereby, to preserve their unique person; to personally
approach human being (the practice) before death arrives. Other than female and
male, The God does not divide humans: both blondes and brunettes may and can
collaborate and pursue necessary goodness.
My challenge to listening is: To trust both 1) the audience’s understanding of
my condensed message and 2) trust any response they offer. In this case, my
condensed message is: every person may and can pursue necessary goodness, despite
perceptions. What is your response to the condensation?
I think presentation of my approach to precision and accuracy is necessary, and
I should continue sharing in depth. Do you agree/disagree and why?
June 15
If we pray to The God -- whatever constrains the
consequences of human choice, to take responsibility for the war between Iran
and Israel, we are vainly attempting to convince The God, the master of the
universe to usurp humankind, the assigned-master of the earth -- according to
both Genesis 1:26-28 (either Orthodox Jewish Bible, KJV, or NIV) and the laws
of physics.
So far, humankind asks The God, "How can we effect order on earth?" I
think we must accept Genesis 1:26-28 and physics: constrain chaos in our
personal way of living, share with fellow persons our view of necessary
goodness, and listen for any suggestions we should adopt to improve personal
practices.
Like Yeshua says (Matthew 5:48, CJB), we may and can choose to pursue perfect
practices, in the image of The God.
I expressed these ideas this morning, in the church and Sunday school I
support.
Again on June 29; Reform is possible.
Intentional persons humbly choose necessary goodness in their living.
a. Accept responsibility.
b. Practice civic harmlessness.
c. Pursue civil blamelessness.
d. Disallow evil.

Cynthia (my wonderful friend and wife) passed away on May 17
after 5 years’ 24-7-365 attention from our youngest, Rebekah, with aid from
50-hr/week-employed Holly plus me and Cynthia’s sister, Mint.
I was in abject, infusive sorrow over the loss of Cynthia, a serenely confident
woman I met in 1967. But yesterday, June 6, I read, “I prefer to celebrate the
amazing fact of my existence, and my conscious awareness of it, rather than
bemoan its temporary status.”*
Happily, I left the privacy of my reading to announce to Cynthia’s daughters,
our daughters, “I’m going to celebrate our life with ineluctable Cynthia by not
bemoaning her relief from suffering progressive supra-nuclear palsy, PSP**.”
Thank you, Mr. McNamara.

Dear Mr.
President:
I hope you like this better:
Anticipating
July 4, 2026, the civic faction, We the People of the United States, appreciate
this republic’s liberty and freedom, in order to pursue independence and integrity
to “ourselves and our Posterity”.
Yours truly,

Dear Mr.
President:
I want to voluntarily serve your committee
that is planning celebration of the 250th anniversary of the
Declaration of Independence and beyond, having more than the following
idea:
Anticipating
July 4, 2026, the civic faction, We the People of the United States, may hold independence
and integrity more representative than liberty and freedom.
I hope you like
this and also grant me the opportunity to contribute more to our future, by
serving, without notoriety, on the committee.
Sincerely,
Phil Beaver

Dear Mr.
President:
I want to share an opinion with you, who
cherish good behavior.
In the distant past, there was only energy
and necessary goodness, both of which could be neither created nor destroyed –
only discovered.
Then, 13.8 billion years ago, our universe
appeared, as energy converting to mass at the speed of light.
Only 200 thousand years ago, everything
that had happened accommodated a species, Homo sapiens, who are capable of
discovering necessary goodness on earth.
By 5500 years ago, a civilization,
Sumer, assumed that mysteries held humankind responsible to goodness.
Nevertheless, they fearfully maintained a city-state-patron-mystery to protect
them in war.
About 3900 years ago, scribes recorded the
political philosophy, in Genesis 1:26-28, 31: only female and male Homo sapiens
may and can choose good behavior on earth. However, no civilization since Sumer
accepted the power, the authority, and the responsibility to discover and
practice necessary goodness.
For favor, elites perceived that their
doctrinal mysteries required them to burn blood and meat from killing fellow
citizens. A group thought no man owned another, so they left that land to establish
mystery-bargaining by killing animal or fowl for blood-sacrifice. Competitive
cultures mystify the same costly debates.
A faction codified laws and celebrations
including the specifics of blood-sacrifice and obedience to Elohim/G-d. They
divided into tribes, depending on claims to obedience/none. A prophet predicted
a future king, the messiah, would unite the tribes in peace.
A person, Yeshua, was born 2000 years ago
in Nazareth. He advocated necessary goodness to individuals and to crowds.
Fellow Jews influenced civil authorities to execute him.
Afterwards, ancient fake news projected
Yeshua’s life onto Jewish literature. Fake news competitively constructed each
of: The Blood of Christ, Jesus, The Trinity, Yeshua the Messiah and 4000
variants. There are churches founded on arguments by Peter, Paul, James, John,
Matthew, and others but none on Yeshua’s influence.
The time has come for humankind to regard
necessary goodness and pursue good behavior rather than mystery-comfort.
Only you,
Sir, can initiate if not effect global change from religious comfort to good
behavior.
Sincerely,
Phil
Beaver
P.S.
Imagine a
revised First Amendment: “Congress shall
make no law respecting an establishment of necessary goodness, or prohibiting
the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press;
or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the
Government for a redress of grievances.”

Dear
Mr. President:
Unhappily, nations enslave themselves to
deny 5500 year-old Middle Eastern discovery: humankind is responsible to
physically and psychologically order life on earth. I think division may and
can be relieved if not resolved during your presidency.
Sumerians coexisted in ancient Mesopotamia, a global trading-crossroad.
Primitive Sumerians competed with Semitic-speaking, Egyptian-speaking, and
Proto-Indo-European-speaking people (including Iranians and Greeks).
About 4000 years ago, a Semitic-speaking tribe left Ur to
escape oppression. A faction, struggling for a homeland, facilitated divisive
matriarchs, Semitic Sarah and Egyptian Hagar. Sarah begot Israel and Hagar
begot the Arabs. In Genesis 16, Israel damned the Arabs.
As an advocate for the claim that it is good that
humankind is responsible to order life on earth (Genesis 1:26-28 and 31), I
think Israel could and should denounce Genesis-16-damnation against Hagar’s
descendants.
The scholarly consideration of events after 63 B.C.,
reported in Anders Corr’s “Gaza: The Moral Collapse of War”, June 9, 2024,
Epoch Times, pale before the ancient Genesis 16 offense against Arabs.
Reforming this 3700 year-old error would facilitate Arab-states’ appreciation
to Israel and to Judeo-Christianity.
I think the United Nations, so far, overlooks the need for
a Palestinian Nation, carved-out from the Arab league rather than from Israel.
Current media interests are too shallow to uncover the
potential to focus on Genesis 1’s commission to humankind: Pursue necessary goodness to life on earth.
Thank you, Sir, for taking that mantel. Please aid
Judeo-Christianity to join your work.
Sincerely,
Phil Beaver

Dear Mr. President:
Homo
sapiens think in words, phonics, and grammar – language passed down through the
generations. To pursue comprehension of opinions held in today’s Middle East
requires appreciation of history’s impact on individual and cultural evolution
during the recent 5500 years.
Sumerian-speaking
people invented writing in a distinct-language or isolate. Together, their
inventions to convert from agrarian to urban living, their law codes, and their
war-treaties suggest that polytheistic mysteries admit that humankind is
responsible to order the earth.
Coexisting
with others in ancient Mesopotamia, a global trading-crossroad, were
Semitic-speaking, Egyptian-speaking, and Proto-Indo-European speakers.
Surviving cultures include Arabic, Hebrew, Egyptian, Iranian, and Greek.
About
4000 years ago, a Semitic-speaking tribe left Ur to escape oppression. A
faction, struggling for a homeland, featured two matriarchs, Semitic Sarah and
Egyptian Hagar. Sarah begot Israel and Hagar begot the Arabs. In Genesis 16,
Israel damns the Arabs.
As
an advocate for the Genesis 1:26-28 and 31 claim that it is good that humankind
is responsible for order on earth, I think Israel can denounce Genesis 16
claims against Hagar’s descendants.
The
scholarly consideration of events after 63 B.C., reported in Anders Corr’s
“Gaza: The Moral Collapse of War”, June 9, 2024, Epoch Times, pale before the
Genesis 16 offense against Arabs. Reforming this 3700 year-old error would
facilitate Arab-states’ appreciation to Israel and to Judeo-Christianity.
