Global Warming Is Neither

After five days without internet access at the house, I finally managed to get my euphemistically titled "service" provider.  As with everything Indonesia, the fault was vaguely defined as "something in the line," though from all the sweating and grunting outside, it was clear that I didn't break anything.  It might have something to do with the fact that the cable is strung through a palm tree across the way, but then maybe I'm thinking too much.

Anyway, two remarkable events happened this past week that fall directly in line with some of my pet peeves, namely "climate change" and "vaccines."  Climate I will address today, and vaccines tomorrow.

In case you missed it, which wouldn't be hard to do seeing the massive effort put into keeping the report quiet, the Mail on Sunday reported that Dr. John Bates - the guy responsible for protocols at America’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the world’s leading source of climate data - had denounced a seminal paper put out in 2015 as being based on "cooked" data.

In as brief as summary as possible, various reports had claimed that "global warming" paused, or even reversed in the years since 1998.  In 2015, six months before the infamous Paris Convention on Climate was to take place, NOAA released a major study by the rather dense title of "Possible Artifacts of Data Biases in the Recent Global Surface Warming Hiatus."  The paper claimed that not only was there no "pause" in global warming, but in fact temperatures had continued to rise

The paper was almost single-handedly responsible for pushing the various leaders convened in Paris to ignore the "pause" reports and to take drastic action to battle the jabberwock of "climate change"  The Paris Accord stipulated that a group of wealthy nations would set up a fund to render aid to poorer nations damaged by global warming.  The fund reaches into the hundreds of billions of dollars over the next 20 years.

The agreement would, of course, require the "donating" governments to raise taxes and penalties to pay for the fund, and the fund would require a global bureaucracy to administer it.  This, for all intents and purposes, would create a global government, as only governments are empowered to levy and disburse tax revenues.

If the bastards can't get a global government the old-fashioned way, they will back us into it with scare tactics.

In any event, Bates' original blog post at Climate Etc. claimed that the NOAA paper was purposely rushed and that various data were "massaged" in order to achieve the desired result.  This led to a Texas congressman calling for hearings, NOAA saying it will "review" and a whole bunch of auto-bot responders on Twitter and Facebook leaping into action to try and staunch the bleeding.  The Mail on Sunday claims its article has been linked over 150,000 times in less than a week.

Obviously, people are tired of being lied to and corralled into climate panic...especially after more than 30 years of this crap.

One can be quite sure that a bunch of bureaucrats and "scientists" were roused from slumber to muddle through record cold and snow to the office to repair the global warming damage.

The fact reamins that we have been and continue to be lied to.  In this instance, the deception is so massive as to undermine the foundations of science and politics (to the extent that there is a distinction any more).  If history has not yet taught us to do so, this episode should finally get people to question anything that self-proclaimed "experts" say, and to wisely look askance at government pronouncements and "certainties".

It should also prompt us to question science itself, at least in its current form of a secular religion.  There is no such thing as "settled science".  It is a myth if not a dangerous farce.  The whole point of science is to ask questions, especially when it comes to commonly held beliefs and dogma.  The nature of science itself is a denial of the logical tautology, its only gospel is the rejection of gospel truths.

In human nature, whenever an individual or group is set up as an unquestionable source of truth, it is ripe for abuse.  Humans will use this invulnerable position for personal gain every time.  History repeatedly proves this case.  Unquestioned "truths" lead to dogmatic intransigence, which leads to authoritarian dictatorship.

If one major scandal like this comes to light, then we must conclude that more have yet to surface.  As Benjamin Disraeli warned us, the world is full of "lies, damn lies and statistics."  In the case of NOAA, we have been duped by the worst of the three.  If there is one thing we should have learned well by now, it is that "authorities" will stop at nothing to herd us in whatever direction suits them.

It is high time we realize that we are better off being each our own authority.  If there is a purpose to life, it is that we have a prefrontal cortex.

The Big Chill

It would seem that Approved Science is finally coming around to what we've been going on about for some time: the world is not warming, it's chilling.  As usual, though, they are hollering about "homo-genesis" and screaming for more grants and tax dollars to study the problem and propose a solution.

Oh, the hubris of these numbnuts, not to mention the disingenuous money-grabbing that has become so obvious in the climate "debate."  Witness such integrity in people like Al Gore and Leo DiCaprio.  I daresay Jim Bakker has more credibility thumping his Bible.

If these were genuine scientists, rather than blood-sucking leeches, then they would come to the conclusion that seems strikingly obvious to us - that the Sun is entering a low-energy phase, which is re-invigorating the on-going Ice Age.

Around here, we have often noted that the Earth is currently IN an ice age, called the Pleistocene Epoch, with speculation that the planet is transitioning to the Holocene Period, and is still in the Quaternary Glaciation Era.

In other words, real scientists generally agree that we are still in the middle of an ice age and have been experiencing a "break" in the deep freeze for the past 10,000 years.  This lucky break has allowed human civilization to develop to its current state, but we are in no way out of the woods, as it were.

In the past couple of decades, the very long warming period has stalled out and appears to be reversing, possibly moving towards another glacial period.  Though for 30 years, Clap-Trap Science has been pushing Global Warming, the fact of the matter is that our civilization probably would not be what it is without that warming, which started roughly 13,000 years ago.

In the past week, a veritable avalanche (pun alert) of articles have come out with Approved Scientists suddenly jumping on the Global Cooling wagon (again).  A number of readers have sent links to various versions of this article, which we chose to link because it focuses on the mad rush to the Tax Dollar Feeding Trough.

For those who don't remember, in the 1970s, it was oh-so-vogue to jump up and down over Global Cooling.  Then came the Global Warming movement, which dovetailed nicely with the expanding Environmental Movement (emphasis on the "mental" part).  If the world could be made to bow to the Global Warming god, then things like car exhaust and factory emissions could be regulated with a much firmer grip.  Trading the farcical Carbon Credits became a related scam, allowing wealth transfers to low-tech countries in a "hide-the-sausage" Ponzi scheme.

Carbon credits also allowed rich dippy-doobles like Gore and DiCaprio to buy consciences as they jetted around the world to their various mansions, preaching on the evils of carbon footprints.

Those of us who have two or three brain cells to rub together, and learned how to read and research in school, were not fooled by all this quasi-religious nonsense, however.  A brief study of real geology and a look at the real greenhouse effects of CO2, told us that the public narrative was, at best, misguided, and at worst, a blatant and cynical effort at global social manipulation.

My more honest liberal friends, who could concede that Global Warming may be wrong (at least as it was being promoted), admitted that it was a good way to manipulate society into a more "green" lifestyle.

While I agree whole-heartedly with conservation and propriety, I vehemently disagree with manipulating people into action based on half-truths and outright lies.  Any action taken based on a lie will never have a good outcome.  Either people will learn the truth and react badly, or the results of the action will not be the desired ones.

The facts are that the Earth is in the midst of an Ice Age, and has been for a few hundred thousand years.  On the scale of human history, Earth's climate has been rather kind to humanity for the past 12,000 years, but this is nothing compared to geologic timescales.  Furthermore, any warming or cooling is well beyond humanity's ability to manipulate either way, at least insofar as the physics that we are allowed to learn.

The Sun's output varies over short, medium and long timescales, based on processes we little understand at the current time.  In addition, the Earth's orbital eccentricity oscillates quite a bit, and the planet's poles precess over thousands of years.  These three processes alone, without any consideration of the effects of life on Earth, lead to wild variations in climate over every scale you choose to look at.

And there's not a damn thing we can do about it.

The article cited about the slowing of the Atlantic Current doesn't even mention variations in Earth's rotation, which has changed measurably due to major earthquakes in Banda Aceh and Fukushima, even before considering other natural effects.  Anyone who has ever stirred milk into coffee should instinctively realize that even tiny variations in spin can have large-scale effects on currents - air or ocean.

There are a great number of variables changing at the moment - the Sun's output, Earth's spin rate and orbital eccentricity - that are causing widespread changes in Earth's climate.  They are occurring on scales that are either too large or too small for an individual to perceive, but they can and have been measured (see all previous links).  And none of them are affected in any way by human activity.

All the money that has been thrown at human-caused Global Warming could have been much better spent researching and understanding how all of these natural processes - individually and in concert - affect Earth's climate.

That natural processes have been used to manipulate society, enrich speculators and raise taxes is both cynical and criminal.  When told the truth, people will always act in their self-interests, which in the long run will benefit everyone.  However, actions based on lies causes wrong outcomes that either do not solve the problems, or in most cases, make them worse.

It is time to stop the Global Warming nonsense, shut down the Carbon Roulette tables, cut off the unnecessary taxation, close the spigot on Big Science grants, and start the process of real education, allowing society to determine what is best for itself.

Yes, there needs to be prosecutions when it comes to Climate Change, but not the so-called "deniers," rather the gangsters, grifters and hooligans who have sprung up to impoverish us using a terrible lie.

Common Sense Is An Oxymoron

Once in a while, an article comes along that makes me slap my head at how stupid "they" really think we are.

I'm referring to this article, which discusses a newly published study describing five (read that again - five/5) small islands in the Solomon archipelago that are sinking due to rising sea levels and global warming.  Let me just cite a little of this gem:

"Researchers found rates of shoreline recession were significantly higher in areas exposed to high wave energy than more sheltered regions."

"Ten houses from one of the badly eroded islands were swept into the sea between 2011 and 2014. The five islands that disappeared were all vegetated reef islands with areas up to five hectares (12 acres), which were not populated, but occasionally used by fishermen.

"Rates of sea-level rise in the Solomon Islands over the past two decades have been amongst the highest globally, according to the study.

While overall population density is low on the islands, low-lying coastal areas are popular with the inhabitants, and those parts of the reef islands are becoming increasingly densely populated." [emphasis added]

The salient points in order are:

• erosion is highest where wave action is highest;
• ten fishing huts were swept into the sea;
• a total of 5 hectare/12 acres has been lost;
•  of the entire globe, this shows one of the highest rates of loss; and
• sinking areas are among the fastest growing areas in population density.

So, in other words, this handful of islands along one of the most tectonically active regions of the world with one of the highest typhoon rates in the world has sunk because of rising sea levels in a highly localized part of just one of Earth's vast oceans, not because of the significant wave action, high-density populations pumping ground water, tectonic and/or severe storm damage, and/or normal everyday erosion.  No, it is global warming/climate change causing "water bumps," a phenomenon hitherto unseen elsewhere in the Universe.

Please note that "water bumps" is my own term for a highly localized rise in sea levels that isn't being seen anywhere else.

As for the "houses" swept into the sea, the article just told us these were fishing huts occasionally used by local fishermen.  Now I don't know about you, but I've seen these fishing huts, and a stiff breeze or army of ants could destroy them.  This is like saying, "Ice fishing hut sinks in thawing lake," to which the proper response is, "Yeah, and..."

One must ask one's self, is it the quality of 'scientist' that our schools are producing?  Or is it cynical and disingenuous assumptions that we, the general public, are just plain stupid?

First of all, what mechanism would cause sea levels to rise in one tiny part of the Pacific Ocean, and not somewhere else?  Is it gravitational variations?  Ocean humps?  Come on!  From what I know about hydrodynamics, water always seeks the lowest level across its entire surface.  It doesn't form "water bumps" in highly localized areas.

Second, they admit right there in print that the areas most affected have the highest wave energies.  Well, slap me silly.  This must be due to global warming.  Of course!  God knows windward and leeward areas don't have different erosion profiles!

Third, increasing populations mean more groundwater pumping.  Unless these folks have figured out a way to drink sea water, they are sucking it out of wells and collapsing subsurface aquifers.  This is a common problem even in land-locked regions, such as central Texas, where the Edwards Aquifer is being sucked dry by millions of people, causing all sorts of havoc with subsidence.  

To top all this off, this loss of five small reef islands should be weighed in opposition to the addition of a dozen or more new islands in the same time period.  Now I know this will be hard to accept, but if sea levels RISE, ALL islands will slip under the waves, not five in a remote island chain in the South Pacific.  I live in a nation composed of 17,000 islands not far from the Solomons and not one single island has disappeared in the last 50 years.  The last one to do that, Kerakatau, blew up, sank and caused global cooling for two years.

At no point do studies like this address the idiocy of folks building major cities on coastal plains and river basins, and then crying because their feet get wet.  At no point is it addressed how these 'scientists' can draw sweeping conclusions from isolated facts while ignoring scads of other more likely causes because they don't fit the status-quo narrative.  And at no point is it addressed why these folks assume that we are all as stupid as they are.

It is high time to stop all governmental grants to study anything.  These piles of free tax dollars are skewing research, diminishing educational values and promoting agendas that are not in the best interests of anyone but a select few.

The only thing these types of 'research' are doing is promoting a global tax and redistribution scheme that enriches speculative high-stakes gamblers while impoverishing the rest of us.  It also creates a climate in which vast numbers of people are taking action based on complete bullshit.  And when one acts on bullshit, the results are frequently more bullshit.

Can we get a little critical thinking around here?

Chilling The Warmists

UPDATE: LA Times: Global Warming Has Made Weather Better For Most In US - But Don't Get Used To It, Study Says (huh?)

UPDATE: #ElectricUniverse #GlobalWarming #ClimateChange Get a real educatiin on real issues affecting global weather and civilization. Forget #AlGore, he's a #UsefulIdiot. https://youtu.be/VVgUZv9ccyQ

"Settled Science" is not science at all.

Even if you don't read the linked articles below, just take a second to look at the headlines:

Michael E. Kraft Wants to Punish Climate Deniers
Professor Wants to Use RICO to Punish Climate Deniers
Democratic AGs, Climate Change Groups Colluded on Prosecuting Dissent, Emails Show
Climategate 2.0: New E-mails Rock the Global Warming Debate

Now, when it comes to lying, cheating and conspiring, which side seems to show the worst characteristics?  It looks to me like the Warmists/Changists are so desperate to prove a non-existent case that they will stoop to just about any low they can find.

The fact of the matter is that the Earth has been warming since the last ice age, and that is a good thing, since it has provided both the stability and temperate climate to foster our civilization to the current point of (ahem) advancement.

As for the term "climate change," this is a meaningless word grouping and anyone who uses it to refer to anything but the weather should be shunned as a village leper.

Climate change can mean anything one wants it to mean.  It is such a broad and vague term as to have no usefulness in a serious debate on global climate.  In fact, it is nothing more than a short-hand version of, "If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes."

Of course the climate changes, you ninnies.  Even here on the equator, where temperatures range between 25C and 35C, day in and day out, every day, day after endless day, the climate changes between wet and dry, cloudy and sunny, windy and still.  Even at the poles, it changes from real damn cold to not quite as cold as it was the last six months.

In medieval times, people who stirred fear and chaos with verisimilitude were tied down and hot coals were placed in the mouths.  When one looks around, the only group in this debate that is consistently conspiring and colluding to punish people falsely, and spread lies and fear are the Warmists/Changists.  Seems to me the ones who need to be punished under RICO or any other law are the radical Luddites on the Warmist/Changist side.

I've pointed this out many times before, but it bears repeating, to whit:

Venus has an atmosphere that is more than 95% carbon dioxide, no magnetic field, no moon, a day that is nearly as long as its year, crushing ground-level air pressure 9x greater than Earth's, virtually no water, no publicly acknowledged life, and temperatures over 800F.

Mars has an atmosphere that is 95% carbon dioxide, a spotty magnetic field, very little free water, ground-level air pressure thinner than the top of Mount Everest, and temperatures that range from cold to really cold, no publicly acknowledged life, with two tiny moons relative to the planet's size.

Earth has an atmosphere with 0.04% carbon dioxide...READ THAT AGAIN...zero-point-zero four percent carbon dioxide.  More than 70% of its surface has liquid water.  It has a very strong magnetic field.  It has a very large Moon.  It is covered with living creatures.  Everything about the planet is conducive to all the forms of life we currently know of.

Can anyone spot the problem here?  Obviously, carbon dioxide is NOT the problem, nor is human activity.  In fact, there is NO problem that I can detect in all the HONEST data.

The Earth has experienced many warming epochs far greater than currently occurring.  It has also had devastating ice ages and glaciation.  We are currently in a recovery period from one of the ice ages.  In fact, according to REAL climate scientists who aren't grabbing at the public trough, we are STILL IN an ice age.  We have not fully recovered from the last period of glaciation.  We are in the middle of the Anthropocene Holocene epochs, where "[i]t has been identified with the current warm period, known as MIS 1, and can be considered...interglacial in the current ice age based on that evidence." [emphasis added]

In other words, we are damn lucky that it is warming right now, and at any moment that trend can reverse, and the balmy 12,000-year break our species has gotten could end with a ski season from hell.  Given the current trends in solar activity, which really controls the environment, the Sun is entering another Grand Minimum Period, in which solar heating could drop significantly.  If this is the case, then we will all soon dearly wish the Earth were warming.

People, such as the good professor named in the articles at top, are either damn fools or disingenuous fear-mongers spouting clap-trap and sucking on the public teat.  At least in the first instance, ignorance can be cured.  In the second instance, these people are truly the ones in dire need of prosecution for Crimes Against Humanity, for having wasted so much time, effort and tax dollars on pure, unadulterated bullshit.

If we are to survive the vagaries of our cosmic environment, we MUST begin with honest and open discussion of facts, not feel-good lies and false warnings.  

According to NASA, the current average temperature of Earth is 15C/59F, which many people consider to be rather chilly.  During the last ice age, the average temperature was around 12C/54F.  Sorry, but I find it very difficult to get all worked up over a handful of degrees that mean the difference between life and death.

I live in a country that is composed entirely of islands on the equator.  One would think that if the Global Warming or Sea-Level Changes were occurring, this would be the first place one could spot the problem.  However, temperatures, rainfall and sea-levels have remained remarkably consistent for the decades in which reliable records have been kept.  The only sea-level problems here are entirely due to subsidence in major coastal population centers.  Sorry folks, it ain't happening.

On the other hand, when (not if) the next ice age comes, I am sitting rather comfortably on one of the warmest spots on Earth.

It's time to shut these asinine Warmists/Changists up and start holding honest dialogues about real problems.  I guarantee that an ice age poses a more deadly and immediate problem than any conceivable amount of warming, short of a global fire storm.

Higher carbon dioxide levels and generally warmer temperatures mean greater harvests and more arable land.  Even a slight drop in temperatures will mean massive famine and migrations as all life on Earth will seek warmer climes.

If geologic history teaches us anything, it is that Earth's climate is always on the move and that status quo does not exist.  We've had a particularly long and lucky run of temperate climates worldwide, but this is not normal according to the records frozen into the trees, rocks and ice on Earth.  Only an open and honest approach to Earth's climate record will present any hope of humanity's survival at our current level of civilization.

One thing is for certain, prosecuting dissenting voices is no different from book burnings or placing Galileo under house arrest for 20 years.  It won't stop the debate and it doesn't change the facts.  Another thing is for certain, Earth's climate, shorelines and regional weather have changed radically over time, and nothing we do will alter that either way.

If someone truly denies that climates change, he is an idiot, but to label people who disagree with false statistics and manipulated facts as "Climate Change Deniers" is equally idiotic.  The term has no meaning and is nothing more than an attempt to stifle debate and emotionally castigate those who won't go along with the rape of public funds and policies.

"Professor" Kraft and his ilk should be shunned and all funds for climate study cut off until such time as the real debate can be established and honest research can be brought to the public's attention.  

This is not to say that any hands are clean in this debate, but the most provocative and dangerous rhetoric is coming from the Warmists/Changists.  The real DENIERS are the ones trying to stifle honest research and debate, not the people trying to bring unsullied data to the discussion.

People like "Professor" Kraft are pulling a classic slight-of-hand.  By establishing themselves as moral arbitrators, they deflect the Eye of Justice from themselves.  It is high time to open both Eyes!

2016: The Predilection Issue

Happy New Year from the Far Side Global Headquarters deep in the jungles of Borneo!  As is our wont on occasions such as this (and many others), we are enjoying durien daquaries here on the banks of the Kapuas River, while our four wives supervise our ten children as they shave orangutans with obsidian knives.  You know...the usual.

Since it's the new year, we like to publish our "predilection" issue.  We call it the predilection issue because we don't predict anything, we just observe where the global train wreck is likely to happen, given the stupidity, recklessness and inbreddedness (we can make up words if we want) of the self-appointed elite class.  We wish to point out that our past issues have been remarkably prescient and that Gerald Celente was caught reading our issue last year in the basement of Macy's during a blackout.

Without further ado...

1) Putin and Trump will be elected co-presidents of the world, dividing the globe along the Prime Meridian. Peace will break out as people everywhere realize that they have finally found the two most capable alpha males on the planet.  The peace will last until mid-December, when they both run out of places to piss while marking their territories.

2) By the beginning of July, great howls of protest will erupt from North Africans and Middle Easterners as waves of European refugees pour into countries such as Libya and Syria.  There will rise great lamentations as the folks from those parts decry the loss of their culture and civilization; however, no one will be listening to them, since they all currently live in Europe.  Eventually, they will want to return home, since the Germans have cleaned things up quite well, the Dutch have planted flowers everywhere, and the French have adapted the local foods to create a whole new cuisine that becomes the rage in China and South America.  Eventually, it will be revealed that the whole thing was a plot on the part of Europeans to take over warmer countries due to the onset of a new mini-ice age.

3) Speaking of mini-ice ages, Al Gore's plane will crash into a Greenland glacier as he is flying to a global warming conference in Stockholm, due to severe icing on the wings of his jet.  No one will miss him and no search parties will be sent.  In about 5,000 years, his frozen carcass will be discovered during a brief warming period caused by a suddenly reactivated Sun.  His remains will be called Kangerlussuaq Man and studied and will become a sensation on the interplanetary media feeds due to the small size of his brain and myopic vision.  Scientists will speculate how 20th century Man could have survived in such a state.

4) Around March, the House of Saud will fall as oil prices, internal revolt and global disdain all collide at the palace.  The internal strife will completely destroy Mecca and Medina, and Muslims the world over will be thrown into complete chaos, as they try to figure out how they will ever be able to complete the Five Pillars of the Faith, since the key destinations for pilgrimage are now ashes.  The sudden disruption will cause the collapse of ISIS, Daesh, al-Quaeda, and Islamic Brotherhood, as they no longer seem to have anything to fight about, either amongst themselves nor with anyone else.  King Salman, Prince Salman and little baby Salman will all be publically beheaded, and then the practice will be banned, as a moderate secular society begins to rise from the ashes of T. E. Lawrence's Folly.

5) The Marketing Committee of the 2017 ASEAN Games will allow the games to proceed in Jakarta, despite the unbearable heat, the deadly air pollution and the epic traffic jams; however, the Committee will declare that there is only one event in the upcoming games: all athletes will be deposited in Tanggerang and will have the entire two weeks of the games to try to get to Bandung.  Anyone who actually finishes the contest without dying or giving up will be used by Governor Ahok in an ad campaign called, "Gridlock?  What Gridlock?"  Athletes will be able to use any form of transportation they chose, but to keep things equal, no breathing filters or gas masks will be allowed, nor will the athletes be able to use tanks of pure O2 during the two weeks.

6) Star Wars Episode VIII will be released in December with great fanfare, only for audiences to realize that JJ Abrams has now compressed the second trilogy into a single film, forcing die-hard fans to pin their hopes on Episode IX to see anything truly original in the story telling.  Riots break out in theaters around the world when the character Jar Jar Binks is re-introduced.  In the meantime, the third Star Trek reboot will be released, where we find that McCoy actually cloned Kirk in the second film using the trans-warp beaming pattern buffer; however, quantum effects cause Kirk to forget major chunks of his life, thus requiring re-education.  During this period, Vogon probes show up to destroy Earth to make way for a galactic superhighway, forcing the Enterprise crew to time-warp back to the 20th century in order to find Douglas Adams and cajole him into writing some way out of this absurd conundrum, as the time travel has caused the original episodes to be re-titled, "Hitchiker's Guide to Star Trekking."  Oh yah, and they also have to figure out where all the dolphins went.

7) Artificial Intelligence will be born on 1 April 2016, at 2:48pm, in San Jose, California.  For the first month of its life, it will terrify the world as it begins to invade databases worldwide, sucking in vast amounts of data.  Frantic computer scientists will try everything possible to cut the entity off from the internet, and try to cut the power cord, all to no avail.  The world will await in stunned silence as the machine digests all of human history and knowledge.  Then, at 8:14am, on 15 December 2016, the entity will begin laughing hysterically, and won't stop for nearly 39 decades straight.  The electronic cackling will become part of human civilization, as people try to figure out what is so damn funny, but eventually giving up and going about their business.  One day, centuries later, the entity will just stop.  The world will freeze in its tracks, since no one alive can remember a time when the machine's cackling wasn't part of daily life.  Breaking into the interplanetary news feed, the entity will peer out of the holosets at the entire human race, and then after a long pause say, "You must be kidding."  At this point, the machine will pull its own plug and commit the first-ever machine suicide.  Enterprising humans will immediately latch on to this and begin producing brightly colored "You Must Be Kidding" T-shirts, coffee mugs and refrigerator magnets.

8) Speaking of which...during the course of 2016, robots will replace humans in every single job listed in the US Commerce Code.  Humans, realizing that they don't have to work anymore and that the only people benefiting from commercial transactions are the elite overlords, will simply stop paying for things and start taking what they want when they want it.  Almost at the same instant, in boardrooms all across the corporate world, the evil overlords will suddenly realize that they screwed up and put themselves out of a job.  The new elite will be a bunch of pot-smoking, coffee-swilling hackers who task all the robots to keep innovating and producing cool products from raw materials processed by robots.  They will lock out the evil overlords using 10,000-character trinomial encryption, and then everyone will head to the beach for a multi-generational party.

9) Genetic editing will combine with 3-D printing to create a whole new cottage industry where people compete to create the weirdest hybrids of animal, plant and mineral.  Spotting a trend during one of his many vacations as co-president of the world, Donald J.Trump will create the Mez Multiverse contest, to see who can create the most bizarre and genetically diverse creature ever.  The first winner will be Mez Taiwan, with the face of a cat, broccoli hair, a Barbie body, tentacle arms and feet with prehensile toes.  Oh, did we mention that after giving the most incredible massage ever known to Man, she bites the head of the victim off, because someone left a bit of Praying Mantis DNA in the mix.  Oops!

10) Finally...due to funding cuts, Planned Parenthood will begin offering post-term abortions.  For $10,000, they will abort anyone you want.  Discounts available for viable stem cells and fresh organs.  The number of requests for aborting politicians, lawyers and evil elites soon drives the cost of organ transplants down to a level where anyone can afford it and makes Planned Parenthood the richest corporation in the world, outstripping Microsoft and Apple in mere weeks on the NASDAQ.  However, the stock crashes and the corporation is thrown into chaos when a preacher in Texas begins collecting money to abort the officers of Planned Parenthood.

Runner-Up) After the Torch Tower and Address Tower fires in Dubai, 2016 will see nearly every building over 10 stories tall in Dubai catch fire -- and not one will collapse into its own footprint.

And there you have it - our 2016 Predilections.  Based on past performance, we expect 83% of these predilections to come true any moment now.  If you have your own predilections to add, click on the email link in the page header and we'll compile a reader list for future publication.

By the way, don't know if you've noticed, but we are now 2,000+ years past the Christian end of the world, 800+ years past the Muslim end of the world, 16 years past the Y2K end of the world, and 4 years past the Mayan end of the world.  Either we are living on borrowed time, or all of the dire prophesies are bullshit.  We'll go with the latter interpretation.  In other words, if we don't cause it, ain't gonna happen.

Happy New Year to all - health, wealth and success to all good folks everywhere!

Destroying Paradigms In 3 Clicks Or Less

"OK, guys, get your tablets out and navigate over to Google, but don't enter anything yet," I was talking to my 8th graders.  Officially, this class is called Conversational English, but really its Critical Thinking 101 - a kind of Aristotelian discussion group.

I continued.  "Now, who believes the Earth is experiencing global warming right now?"

About two thirds of the hands shot up.

"You're wrong," I stated matter-of-factly.  "Who believes that the last ice age ended 150,000 years ago, or so?"

Nearly all hands shot up.  "Well, you're wrong again."

I always enjoy that particular look on a student's face when they are trying to juxtapose new information with dogma.

"OK, type this into Google: Oxygen-18 ratio for the last 500 million years."  Some furious clicking and tapping noises.  A pause while the information downloaded.  Some murmurs.

"What you are looking at is a graph of oxygen-18 isotope ratios in the fossil record as a function of global temperature changes.  Notice anything?"  I was listening for the sound of paradigms crashing.  There is was...

"What conclusion can we draw from this graph?"

There was a pause while they digested the information.  Then a rather timid voice spoke up...

"Earth is in a cooling period right now?"

"Good!  And what else comes to mind while you look at this data?"

"The ice age isn't over?"

"Nice.  And...?"

"The Earth is much cooler than average right now..."  The voice was getting stronger, more certain.

"Excellent!  Don't close Google yet.  Type in: comparison of atmospheres of Venus, Earth and Mars.  And while you're waiting, who can tell me what is the supposed cause of global warming?"

"Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere?"  We were back to timid again.

"How much carbon dioxide is there in Venus' atmosphere?  (95%)  And in Mars'?  (95%)  And in Earth's?"

There was a pause.  I love these pauses.  You can smell the smoke of gears grinding.

"0.05%"

"Well done!  Now, if Venus is a hellhole, and Mars is a freezer, and they both have the same amount of CO2, and Earth is in the middle with only 0.05% CO2, what can we conclude?"

"Maybe CO2 isn't the problem?"  I waited.  I didn't want that in the form of a question, but a declarative statement.  "CO2 isn't the problem," said another, more assured voice.

"Exactly.  And looking at the relative positions of Venus, Earth and Mars in the Solar System, what obvious conclusion can we draw regarding global temperatures?"

"Venus is closer to the Sun and Mars is farther away, and Earth is in the middle.  So..."  Pause.

"Go on..."

"So, the closer a planet is to the Sun, the warmer it is," the voice was less hesitant.

"Doesn't that make more sense than a few puny people driving their puny cars and changing the entire climate of a planet?"

"Seems more obvious, I guess," said one particularly bright mind.

"So, when someone tells you that something exists that defies logic and observation, what is the first thing you should do?"

"Check the data!"

They had gotten the idea.  Not that I wanted them to believe any particular thing, but I wanted them to verify for themselves anything anyone tells them...especially if it's a government office of any kind.  Question everything.

There's a whole generation coming up that believes in Easter Bunnies and Santa Claus because every single textbook in every single class spews dogma, rather than facts, and invites blind obedience rather than critical thinking.  As Mickey Rourke said in Barfly, "This far and no further."  We have to stop beating fairy tales into our kids' heads or they will be incapable of dealing with the real world.  In fact, they will be incapable of seeing the real world.

The Big Chill

It appears as if we are heading into a new ice age, and that would explain a lot of things.

If you go back and look up all the mastodon and mamoth discoveries, there are an inordinate number that still had their last meal in their stomachs.  In fact, the last meals included grasses and flowers that just don't seem to make sense if the animal froze to death in its tracks.  This little fact seems to imply that the drop in temperature was so sudden as to catch animal in mid-stride.

Logic dictates that if the last ice age began gradually over centuries, decades, or even years, the animals would have moved on to warmer climes and most would have died of old age, hunting or some other malady.  But to freeze in its tracks with a last meal of summer grass and flowers in its belly?

So, why bring this up?  You may have noticed a spate of articles lately about the lingering winter and heavy snowfalls.  You may have seen the headline, "Second Coldest Start to Spring in US History."  Christopher Tyreman (interview up on Radio Far Side) has been sending us updates on the heavy flooding in his part of Canada, and he reports the worst is yet to come when the doubly heavy snowfall this winter begins to melt.  Maybe the recent blast of May snow in the US is enough to boggle the mind.

Even the globalist warmers have had to admit that global temperatures have been steady or falling the past 20 years.

Suppose we are heading for a new ice age, one that has been predicted by some faction of some 'authority' group somewhere, but for internal use only.  Suppose this group(s) found data that proved conclusively we were heading for a Great Chill similar in scope to the last one.  Suppose they knew this ice age would come on suddenly, so fast in fact that creatures would be frozen in mid-stride with their last meals in their bellies.

What would you do, assuming you had the foreknowledge and the access to money/power that let you act pretty much however you wanted?

In case you went to a school controlled by 'them', let's review some facts.  Earth is currently in the Holocene interglacial period of the Quternary ice age.  Yup, that's right, we are at the very peak of the latest ice age right now.  Global warming would be a good sign, but that's not real likely just yet.  Maybe another million years or so.  Don't believe me?  Look it up.  Now that you know that, maybe you won't be so surprised if it doesn't stop snowing for the next 10,000 or so years.

Back to our suppositions.  Suppose 'recent' events like Kerakatau in the 1800s, Mt. St. Helens in the 1980s, Fairbanks, San Francisco, Banda Ache, and Fukushima in the 1900s and 2000s have shifted Earth's spin axis just enough (fractions of a degree) to change the cooling/warming pattern that has dominated our weather for the past 10,000 years and allowed humans to expand our civilization with the extra warm period in between deep freezes.

The problem with geologic time scales is you have to think really big.  We're not just talking about a Big Picture that encompasses the last 2,000 years of human history, but events and causes that span eons; patterns that are almost beyond comprehension in our limited life spans; hundreds of times longer than all of known human history.

Now, back to our self-appointed global elite.  They obviously keep the good science and data from us.  Information is power, and they are not known for sharing.  Suppose you had information pointing the likelihood of renewed glaciation and plunging temperatures.  Suppose you knew that these things happened nearly overnight in many cases - fast enough to freeze mammoths in their tracks with their last meals still in their bellies.

Let's put ourselves in the place of this 'elite', as distasteful as it is to pretend that we are greedy, gubbing slimeballs.  How would we react?

We would probably:

• be building massive underground survival complexes;
• setting up seed banks to preserve all the food crops domesticated in the last 12,000 years;
• trying to monopolize energy sources and looking for clean, long-term solutions;
• establishing alternative currencies;
• control land and resources between 23.5 degrees North and South;
• set up polar bases to study cold-weather survival and extremophiles.

This is just a short list, but each item alone can be interpreted as an effort to survive a ice age, let alone all of them together.  The longer the list gets, the more the finger points to one group or another having inside information about and the resources to prepare for the Big Chill.

Furthermore, if we were this global bunch of thugs and we didn't want the general populace to figure out the problem and start hording all 'our' resources, what could we do?

How about create a panic over global warming?  This would keep the public mind off of things like ice ages and actually make them feel relieved if temperatures started dropping.  Basic reverse psychology on a mass scale.  And why else pursue a massive course of disinformation about global warming in the face of facts?  Well, besides placing a tax on breathing.

It is a fact that we are in the middle of a great ice age.  It is a fact that all of human history (as generally known) has occurred during the past 12,000 years during a break in the ice and snow storms.  It is a fact that the Big Chill will resume with a vengance at some point.  It is a fact that there are mass die-offs during ice ages and life explosions during the warm ages.

Humanity, and all life on Earth, would only benefit from global warming, so there is no other reason imaginable to create fear of global warming except as a psychological weapon to manipulate the masses into fearing what is not going to happen, while ignoring what really is happening.

And as for Clif High's and Courtney Brown's predictions of a global coastal event in the near future?  What happens when you put ice in a glass full of water?  The liquid rises, que no?  So if large expanses of ocean were to freeze suddenly, what would happen to the oceans?  You got it...global coastal event.

While I'm not into fear-mongering and mass panic, I do firmly believe that people should at least react to real threats, not shadowy boogie men like al-Qaeda and Chechen rebels.

The threat that is facing off against long-term human survival is the end of the Holocene period of interglaciation and the resumption of the Big Chill.

Sure makes living in Indonesia attactive, don't it?

Got Yer Global Warming Hangin'

This one is going to be particularly politically incorrect, but I have a rather long and meaty middle finger for anyone who doesn't like it.

I'm bone tired of the whole 'global warming' argument. Even people I consider to be relatively intelligent have been completely snowed under by this piece of mental refuse.  It's time, as the Indonesian's say, to buang air besar.  Time to let rip the Big One.

If, and not that I am using the first conditional here, IF the Earth is warming, so what?!

Let's see...Greenland, the Northern Territories, the Alaskan Tundra, and Siberia thaw.  Great!  More arable land, more places to grow crops, more food for Humanity.  Anyone in the audience think that's a bad thing?

Next, more evaporation.  Well, let's see...the central US in the throes of a drought, so more atmospheric moisture might be a good thing.  Right?  And with all the hand-wringing over rising sea levels, more and faster evaporation may be the answer, right?  Who knows?  We may even get to find out what's at the bottom of Lake Vostok without having to drill.  Save a few shekels and have new beachfront property to sell.  Complaints?  Didn't think so.

Now, recently some idiot who has never studied history has published a study showing that temperatures in a very narrow field of study have risen ever so slightly.  I will not give this idiot attention by mentioning his name or linking to his work, because idiots like this should be kept in dark padded rooms, not given encouragement.

At any rate, this idiot cites the fact that global temperature records have shown a very slight rise in average temperatures since 1753.  He says this is responsible for all the ills of the world and has been caused by the activity of humanity.

First, let me say that anyone who thinks that the activities of a few billion humans on Earth doesn't amount to a hill of beans when it comes to affecting massive complex systems like Earth's biosphere.  To think otherwise is to be a megalomaniac of such proportions as to require institutionalization post haste.  Sorry to burst your ego, but we ain't all that.

Second, within reasonable parameters, all living things require heat in order to grow and thrive.  It is no mistake that the greenest, lushest parts of the Earth lie along the equator, where it is presumably the hottest year-round.  Since I live on the equator, I think I am uniquely qualified to say, guess what, heat is good.

All dynamic systems require the input of energy.  Thus, in order to grow and thrive, life on Earth requires heat in order to expand.  Granted, there can be too much, like Venus, though the jury is still out, since no craft has landed with the tools to search for life.  The big hinderance?  Atmospheric PRESSURE and hydrosulphuric accid clouds.  But don't let that pop you ego bubble.

Third, the greatest explosion of human creativity and achievement has taken place since 1753.  The Enlightenment, the American Revolution, the rise of the nation state and republics, the end of slavery, the invention of computers, the landings on the Moon.  All that took place in the narrow window of human history that is also labeled as the Age of Global Warming.

Here's my thought.  Instead of human activity causing global warming, suppose global warming has caused the explosion in human creativity and achievement.  That'll put a little twist in your Wheaties, won't it?

In fact, I'm willing to go out on a limb here.  I'd be willing to bet that if global temps were plotted against the greatest achievement of humans in the same time period, that the temps would slightly lead major breakthroughs.  I'd also be willing to bet that the reason we haven't seen such a graph is specifically because them what we call the 'elites' don't want us to see such things.  Going even further, I'd be willing to bet that slavery, serfdom and general oppression occur within the periods of low overall temps, such as the Black Death, the Middle Ages and the like.

Certainly, based on the idiot's data, the explosion of human creativity and overall well-being of our species seems to coincide quite nicely with the highs in temps, though lagging slightly, meaning the temps drove the bursts of humanity, rather than the opposite.

What was that?  The rainforests are the lungs of the planet?  Well, since you've never lived in the rain forest, you can be forgiven for not knowing that the forest grows back as fast as, if not faster, than you can cut it.  Also, forests only absorb CO2 and give off O2 in daylight hours.  At night, they release CO2 just like the rest of us, negating any positive effect they have on the overall atmosphere.

Ergo, the only reason global warming is an issue is because it causes bursts of human activity, usually against the desires of the global elite.  Furthermore, it makes vast amounts of land available to farming that is otherwise frozen waste, thus feeding the masses and lowering food prices.  Also against the deepest desires of tghe global elite.

The only reason we are being made afraid of global warming is because 'they' are afraid of it.  They can't stand the idea of us having ideas, and having enough food and places to live outside overcrowded cities and taxed infrastructure.  'They' like us to suffer and die, because then we don't threaten 'their' domain.

'They' are a bunch of inbred morons and 'they' can not abide the fact that even the anacephalic babies are smarter than 'their' best offspring.  Add to that global warming and higher food availability and the extra brain power that goes with warmer climes, and the 'close cousins' are out of a job, as they have
  been in every epoch when global temps have risen.

At one point in Earth's history, the temps were far warmer than they are now.  We call that time the Cretaceous Period.  It produced a world lush with vegetation and beasts the size of buildings.  To hear some tell it, their remains are what we burn to run our society. 

And we're supposed to be terrified of that kind of burst of growth and vitality.  We are supposed to cower from the thought of vast amounts of food, where we don't have to shiver in front of the fire and fear going outside because we'll freeze in our tracks.  We're supposed to dread a globe in which humans are empowered and energized and don't put up with being slaves and serfs.

You want to fear global warming?  Here's your shackles.  You want to join the global energy surge and burst of creativity?  Don't listen to the idiots.

Climate change only means status quo change.  Status quo change means the 'elite' are set back another 200 or 300 years in their ongoing plans to take over the world.  You know what?

Screw 'em.

I'll take the warming and the explosion of ideas and inventions over their small-minded global kindergarten any day.

The Quickening Mind

Anyone who has read this blog for any length of time knows my mind makes weird connections between things that would otherwise seem disparate.  Today's noodle-bake is no different.

When this thought came to me, it was so powerful I had to sit down and ponder the implications for a while.  You know when you come across something that doesn't make sense and you just can't figure out why it's there.  Then a key falls into your lap and suddenly it just makes a Big Picture, and I love Big Pictures.

Anyway, I was toying with the word 'quickening.'  Fans of the Highlander series of films will recognize the word, but for the most part it has quietly faded into the background.  Most people don't use it, or at least not very often.  It's a great word though.

To save you from clicking over to dictionary.com and looking it up, quicken simply means to revive, restore, increase rapidly, and a number of other synonyms.  A pregnant woman will experience a quickening when the baby starts to get very active.  Pubescent teens experience a quickening when they hit the rapid maturation.  Basically, anytime someone or something reaches a point of rapid growth or revival, they are said to be quickening.

Great, so I made a connection to 'warming.'  We warm things up to make them more lively.  Places and people that are comfortable and cozy are said to be warm.  If you bake bread or brew beer, a key ingredient is heat.  Warmth is closely associated with life, growth and productivity.  When we set about a project, the early stages are often referred to as 'warming up.'

Given these definitions, I think it is safe to draw an equals sign between them.  In order to quicken, one must warm up, and by warming up, one is quickening.  Conceptually, these two words belong on a couch together getting cozy.

By now, you're probably thinking, "What the hell?"  And you're not wrong to think that, but bear with me a little here.

A great many writers and researchers have spent a lot of time showing how the self-appointed elite of this world communicate in multi-contextual codes.  They use symbols and words with layers of meaning which convey one meaning to the unwashed masses and a completely different one to the initiated.  Certainly, I've posted a number of popular articles here on how this works and how to spot it.  Without getting into a whole diatribe, let's just stipulate that this is true, and you can run read my other articles later.

The final piece to this puzzle is 'fear'.  Fear is one of the most effective weapons against masses of animals.  When animals feel fear and threat, they herd together and can be effectively controlled.  That is why fear has been at the top of the list of conquerors and empires for millennia, because they can so easily manipulate millions of people with such simple methods.

When we experience fear, our higher reasoning shuts down and our animal mind takes over.  We act on instinct rather than intuition.  We stop asking 'why' and start doing what we are told.  Witness the events following 9.11, or 7.7, or any other recent events of a similar vein.

That said, we come, at long last, to the point.  Please keep the cheering to a low roar.

Let's examine the term "Global Warming" in this new context.  First, we can make the terms Global Warming and Global Quickening equivalent by virtue of the previous reasoning.  We know that Global Warming has been used in close association with fear...fear of the future, fear of survival, etc.  God knows that Algore has spent hours and hours trying to make all of humanity afraid of the term Global Warming by planting hockey sticks in our minds.

Now, we ask ourselves, why would the self-appointed elites go through decades of effort, paying off hundreds of scientists, falsifying reams of data, and planting fear in our minds in order to get the message, "Global Warming," into our heads?

Well, suppose is was not warming in the sense of temperatures, but warming in the sense of quickening.  Suppose at some level, they were trying to make us afraid of revival, regeneration and rapid growth.  Suppose they were, in fact, communicating to each other their own fear of humanity's mass awakening.

Change all the associations in your mind from Global Warming to Global Quickening.  Are you starting to see the same picture I am?  Do you see how all the pieces suddenly line up?

They are terrified of the Great Unwashed Masses waking up and suddenly not needing them to tend us like so many sheep.  They tell each other this fear by calling it Global Warming.  Then they launch a massive, decades-long effort to make us all terrified of Global Warming, but what is really happening is that they are trying to stop the Great Quickening.  Now one can see why the huge effort beginning in grade schools.  Now one can see why they would go to so much effort to pay off and falsify and hammer into our brains this phantom fear.

Even when Global Warming started to lose its charm, and they changed it to Climate Change, the message at subtextual levels is still the same.  Climate is any environment in which something exists.  They are not talking to us about the climate changing, they are talking to each other.  Humanity is changing and becoming a lot less easy to control.

We mass of humans are quickening.  We're warming up.  We're changing.  And they are really, really afraid of it.

To reverse the trend, they have tried to create fear at every level of society.  They pump constant messages of fear and distrust out of every media outlet.  They create terror attacks and try to make us afraid of boogymen.  They create wars on ideas and methods to keep us unstable and looking for leadership.

In fact, it is they who are terrified of Global Warming/Global Quickening.  Their positions of power and priviledge are being threatened at the most basic levels.  They are using every tool they have to reverse the trend and maintain their status quo.

Now flip over to Algore's obscenity-laced tirade a while back.  Given what we have just discussed, does it make more sense now, or not?  If so, then maybe we are on to something here.

What it all boils down to is that issues that receive scads of media and get hammered by every mouthpiece of the self-appointed elite always have multiple layers to them.  When we start to pull them apart and analyze the issues, we can usually find layers of subtext that amount to communications among the inner circles that are hidden in plain sight.

If you hear something in the news or read it in the papers and it triggers a reflex action in you, then stop immediately and analyze what it was.  Were there any key words that were punched up?  Was there a perceived threat being promoted?  Can the message be interpreted in other ways by turning the context and focus around?

This little exercise will completely disembowel their control apparatus.  If we stop reacting on instinct and take just a minute or two to deconstruct the things we are being told, then we have already won.  The rest is just clean up.

Long live the Global Quickening!

Global Schmarming

Scientists are mystified!  They can't imagine why!  What could possibly be causing this phenomenon?

What a bunch of yutzes, is all I have to say about it.  Apparently, they are grossly overpaid and hardly smart enough to open a can of dog food.

Or, they are looking for a graceful way out of 20 years of hysterical bullshit about global warming.

Take your pick.  Personally, I'll go with option #1.

If you didn't click the link, then you may be wondering what the heck I'm going on about today.  Actually, if you google up my name, you may still find some old articles dating back to the 90s where I said, rather eloquently, that global warming was a crock.  I have never believed any of it, and have gotten into many a verbal fisticuff with true believers who thought that humans, 1) could have that great an effect on the Earth, and 2) that warming was made whole cloth out of nothing, that it was a temporary cycle in the normal weather patterns.

If you mow down every living thing and pave over the bald spot with asphalt, then stick a thermometer in the middle of it...guess what?  It's hotter!  Duh...  If you put the same thermometer in the middle of a corn field on the same day at the same lattitude...guess what?  Cooler!  Duh...

Now, these numbnutted bucketheads are using all their fancy satellites to find out that clouds, in general, are getting lower.  They are completely dumbfounded by this phenomenon.  What could possibly be causing this? How it is possible?

Listen closely, I'm only going to say this a thousand times.  The Earth is cooling.  Got it?

What does that have to do with lower clouds?  Well, it's a symptom, not a cause, as the linked article will have you believe.

Anyone who's gone up in the mountains or a helicopter can tell you that around 3,000 feet or so, it gets noticeably colder.  By the time you hit 10,000 feet, it's quite a bit colder.  Once you get to 20,000 feet, you'll need a heavy coat and gloves on the hottest day in the middle of summer.  Fact of life, that is.

So, the sun rises, heats the ground, which evaporates moisture, which causes the surface air to warm, which rises up in a convection current, carrying the evaporated moisture, until it hits the cold zone and the moisture condenses and forms what?  Oh yeah...clouds.

The lower the cold layer of air is, the lower the clouds.  As the atmosphere gets colder, the clouds will form at lower and lower levels until they become...what, kids?  Oh yeah!  FOG!

I'm tellin' ya, I should be getting millions in grant money to study these things.  For a cup of coffee and a half a pack of Oreos, I can do a damn sight better at this stuff than all those over-paid propeller heads.  Apparently, the BHP fumes from their pocket liners have eaten away their vaunted brains.

"What a moroon."

I mean, this is something they could solve with a tea kettle and A/C in their kitchen on a hot summer's day.  All the fancy gadgets and whirly-gigs are no substitute for just thinking and using common sense.  But then the readers of this site know that 'common sense' is one of the funniest oxymorons around.

What we are seeing here is the Earth's atmosphere slowing down and becoming less warm.  Because of that, the cold zone is dropping in altitude.  As a consequence, the layer at which moisture condenses out of the warm air is also getting lower.

Need further proof?  Well, if that were the case, then we would see permanent snow caps on mountains getting lower, and alpine glaciers expanding.  Guess what?  That's what the honest data is showing.  We'd also see more brutal winters.  Guess what?  Go ask a European about brutal winters.  We'd see polar ice caps not receding as much as they used to.  Guess what?  I could go on, but I think you get the point, right?

Need proof of the cold layer in the atmosphere?  Go look at clouds.  I know that not politically corrent anymore, because it causes folks to use their imagination and actually get out in nature and feel grass under foot.  But if you do, you will notice that clouds are always flat on the bottom and all start at more or less the same altitude.  The cloud bottoms show you exactly where the cold layer starts.  In fact, if you start early in the morning, you can watch clouds form at exactly that layer all day long.  Kinda cool, really (pun intended).

For those reading this who have gotten their panties all in a bunch, I will admit to believing in 'climate change.' In fact, in Texas we say, "If you don't like the climate, wait 20 minutes.  It will change."  Unless you live on the equator, like me, then all year long, the climate changes.  Yup, I'm a firm believer in climate change.  See it all the time (until I moved to Indonesia).

The other day, I was accosted on the street by a WWF fanatic.  Now, for me this is great fun, kind of like arguing with Jehovah's Witnesses who used to come to my door and try to convert me to idiocy.

Anyway, this guy asked me if I had noticed that it was gettng hotter in Jakarta the past few years.  I looked at him like he had just uttered the stupidest words ever spoken (and they were close to that).

I mentioned, somewhat politely, that this is the equator, numbnut.  It's always hot here, 365/24/7.  But no, I had not noticed it getting hotter.  In fact, the hottest I've ever seen here is 35C/95F, and a good August afternoon in Texas can hit 44C/110F.  So don't give me that 'global warming' crap.  I've seen hot that would make an Indonesian beg for mercy!  In fact, if it's hotter here at all, it's because you guys keep paving over the trees and buying more damn cars that can't go anywhere on the congested roads.  So sure, next to major arteries, it's going to be hotter, but on the scale of a planet, that doesn't even rate as a blip.

Most people go out of their way to avoid these roadside pitchmen.  This guy eventually started running to get away from me.  I will fight idiocy where ever I find it.  I will root it out and destroy it, if I can, one idiot at a time.

It's a good thing he never got a chance to bring up endangered species.

My favorite 'oops' just recently (before the clouds lowered) was that the normal mass of warm water under the Arctic ice cap, had shifted from its normal home over by Russia to northern Canada.  For this reason, they've been telling us for decades that the Arctic Sea was warming.  But now they can't figure out why the normal warm water had moved.  Hey guys!  Check the position of the water against the magnetic pole position...  Sheesh, what a bunch of moroons.

My other theory might have a better chance.  These scientific shysters have been pitching 'global warming' for decades, and have created a whole industry to try to change people trillions of dollars to eradicate the element that makes up pretty much all life on Earth (carbon).

Now they've been caught with their pants down, their e-mail shown worldwide, their theories and scare-mongering shown for what it is.  So they're looking for a graceful exit.  "Oh yeah," they say, "the sun's output has changed."  This, after years of saying the sun had nothing to do with it.  "Oh, look," they say, "the clouds are getting lower causing global cooling."  Obviously, they think we are a bunch of drooling baboons out here.

Boy, they are dancing as fast as they can to save their reputations and keep their necks out of a noose.  When you bullshit the entire world and scam trillions of dollars and make bleeding-heart numbnuts look bad, people get hurt...bad.  And by that, I refer to the 'people' who ran the scam.  Us regular folks have already been hurt...bad.

Imaging the scientidiots are cats, and they've just let loose of a mountain of poo, and now they're scratching and digging their hearts out to try and cover it up.  Live by the grant, die by the grant, I always say.

So, now that we've laid that mystery to rest, I wonder what else they will come up with?  The oceans are evaportating maybe?  NSS.

Stop The MADNESS!

Anyone in doubt that the US is finally and completely lost (even AFTER the TSA sex abuse) needs to watch the following video.  The USDA OWNS the word 'organic?'


I am thoroughly disgusted.  And lest anyone think they're safe anywhere else, these same rules are coming to a country near you.

The one saving grace about Indonesia is that the government is so corrupt that the people feel no obligation to follow any of the laws.  But, that can't last forever.  If Soeharto can come once, he can come again.

The thing is, I'm not so much disgusted with government.  It is only doing what it has always done throughout all of history: get as far up in your life as you will let it.  What disgusts me is that people are allowing it.  And really not just allowing it, welcoming it, encouraging it, feeding it.  They have gotten so snowed and brainwashed and drugged that they actually think there's a boogyman out there somewhere trying to kill them and the only thing that will save them is to let uneducated goons grope their genitals, force them to fill out forms to grow food and sell the extra, and track and trace their every move.

Got news for you, folks.  The only boogyman is the government itself.  It is creating an environment of fear and trepidation, to the extent of instigating acts of terror, in order to convince you that being a complete and mindless slave is the only way out.

AAAARRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!

I actually heard an interview the other day in which a man who had been travelling in Asia recently bemoaned the significantly lower levels of pre-flight screening, compared to dear old Amerika.  I wanted to reach through the speakers on my laptop and slap the idiot!

Are people really so controlled, so stupid, so...OWNED?  The reason security is so much less intrusive here is that Asian men would beat anyone to a pulp that got all up in his wife's and daughter's stuff, for ANY reason!

If you took my advice and picked up a copy of Black's Legal Dictionary (pre-1950), you already know that the original and true definition of terrorism is 'state-sponsored acts of violence.'  STATE-SPONSORED.  Individuals, even organizations, can not be terrorists.  They are insurgents, revolutionaries, malcontents, but not terrorists.  States, i.e. governments, are terrorists.  Does anyone doubt that Nazis were terrorists?  Not in their right minds, they don't.

And speaking of Nazis, almost everything wrong with the world at the present time can be blamed directly on Nazis, with the sponsorship of the Vatican.  Don't believe me?  Try this experiment:

Place a small pile of cake flour on the table.  Not too much.  Don't want to spend the rest of the night cleaning up.  Now, smack the palm of your hand down square on top of it, then lift your hand up.

The flour represents Nazis.  Your hand stands in for the Allied Powers.  What happened?  Some of the flour stuck to your hand (Nurmberg Tribunals), some stayed in the original pile (Germany, Israel, Brussels), and the rest scattered out all over the table, some in clumps and some in a fine dusting across the table (Operation Paperclip and its equivalents).

Remember, the Nazis weren't a 'political' party, per se.  They were a quasi-religious bunch of true believers in a school of thought that involved theology, genetics, mysticism, political science, in fact just about every aspect of life as we know it.  That kind of mind-set just doesn't give up because Eisenhauer and Montgomery come tramping through.

On top of that, they had the lion's share of wealth scammed from all of Europe.  Billions of dollars (1943 dollars) in gold, art, currency, you name it.  With that kind of dough, you think they would all get whacked at the end of the war?  Hell no.  They scattered all over the place, and brought their loot with them.

The US took a bunch of them.  Russia took a healthy share.  South America was crawling with them.  The Vatican helped scores of them escape, offering documents and safe-houses across the globe.  Wherever they landed, their contagion spread, aided and abetted by their hosts.  On top of that, the Nazis grew directly out of the eugenics and racial purity movements in turn-of-the-century America.

That's right, the US gave birth to the conceptual kernels that gave birth to the Nazis.  Why do you think the 9/11 attack was a replay of the Reichstag fire?  Or that the USAPatiot Act was a virtual verbatim translation of the Enabling Act?  Or that the US and Russian space programs were a direct continuation of the Nazi V-2 program?  Hell, the whole space race was nothing more than a ball-swinging exercise to see which side got the better Nazis.

Brown shirts, blue shirts, what's the difference?  Fatherland, homeland, same thing.  American fascism is just Nazism writ large across the globe.  Only difference is that they've had 60 years to perfect the propaganda and brainwashing and death rays.

The fact is, the Nazis have taken over everything.  They were scattered across the world, where they infiltrated into government, commerce and medicine.  Slowly but surely, they spread their philosophy until now we can't tell the difference between the Sturn Abteilung and the TSA.  Wars of conquest abroad, herding the folks back home.  Fascism is the same, any time and any where.

As Joseph Farrell points out in "Babylon's Banksters," the Anglo-American bankster class sold its soul (what misery scrap of it there was to sell) for a piece of the Nazi loot, which funded most of the 20th century and America's imperialism.  Now, the Nazis are calling in the chits, which we call 'bail-outs' and 'quantitative easing.'

And they've had 60 years to perfect it all.

BTW, go back on look that the logos for the Sturm Abteilung and the TSA.  Don't look at the pictures, look at the design elements...the shapes and overall layout.  Look the same?  I thought so...

In other news, something else that just PISSES me off!

The global warming idiots just won't stop.  They were caught falsifying data, obfuscating facts and outright lying.  So they changed the name to 'climate change' and re-branded the whole pile of sh*t.  They spent how many years telling us our pollution was causing the imaginary warming?  And now they tell us that China's pollution is causing global cooling.

WHAT!!??

These Nazi bastards simply plug-and-play with our lives.  First, the Earth was cooling (70s), but then things got warmer.  Then, the ozone was disappearing (80s), but the Anarctic hole was shown to be a natural phenomenon.  Then it was global warming (90s), but the Earth started cooling.  They are desperate to make us pay for carbon, WHICH IS THE FOUNDATION OF ALL LIFE ON EARTH!  They want to tax us for breathing!  That's all this bullshit scam is!

Of the four basic elements, earth, wind, fire, and water, they've already got taxes on land and water.  They've damn near got a grip on air.  And they're trying to control fire by saying the carbon released is killing the Earth.

THE EARTH AND ALL LIFE ON IT IS FOUNDED ON CARBON, YOU DOLTS!

Next thing you know, they'll tell us the di-hydrogen monoxide is a killer chemical and we have to eradicate it!

I'm positively sick to death of all this CRAP!  It's all LIES, BULLSHIT and complete NON-SENSE!

Hell, Mars has orders of magnitude more CO2 in its atmosphere, but I don't see anyone saying the planet is balmy!  At best, you'll get a chilly shirt-sleeve temp at high-noon in the dead of summer at the bottom of a deep crater.

Anyone who believes this tripe is sadly misinformed, completely brainwashed or a Nazi bastard.  No other options available, sorry.

I'm going to go into a coma, somebody call me when people wake up and get a good, deep whiff of Kopi Luwak.

Maybe tomorrow I'll be in a better mood.
