This is an “overflow” page from prior Tips pages as they had gotten so large it was taking a long time to load. Same idea, just a new set of space to put pointers to things of interest. The most immediately preceding page is: https://chiefio.wordpress.com/t11/.
I’ve added a generic “T” parent page where older copies of the various “Tips” pages can be found archived.
While I’m mostly interested in things having to do with:
Making money, usually via trading
Weather and climate
Quakes, Volcanoes, and other Earth Sciences
Current economic and political events
(often as those last three have impact on the first one…)
And just about any ‘way cool’ interesting science or technology
If something else is interesting you put a “tip” here.
You can also look at the list of “Categories” on the right hand side and get an idea of any other broad area of interest.
This ought not to be seen as a “limit” on what is “interesting”, more as a “focus list” with other things that are interesting being fair game as well.
Musings from the Chiefio 
An interesting article by Scott Rasmussen of Rasmussen Polls. Beware of the New Elites
It expands on what I said in my last comment (still in moderation) about John Dewey father of Progressive Education and Charter Member of the American Fabian Society. Another interesting tidbit is Survey shocker: Liberal profs admit they’d discriminate against conservatives in hiring, advancement
This reinforces my thoughts that ‘Socialism’ at least the Fabian flavor, was never about what is best for humanity. Instead it is about finding methods to get the sheeple to submit to a new type of Feudalism with them in control. Their chosen heraldic symbol of a wolf in a sheepskin plus what founding members have said does nothing to make me think any different and this latest bit just reinforces it.
George Bernard Shaw’s views on humanity in his own words
THE HISTORY OF THE FABIAN SOCIETY Chapter 5: “Fabian Essays” and the Lancashire Campaign: 1890-3 (by a sympathizer)
Fabian Society by New World Encyclopedia: Organizing knowledge for happiness, prosperity and world peace [which gives us license to rewrite history]
This is a classic example of the rewriting history:
So as early as the 1620’s socialism was tried and failed miserably yet instead of making this a lesson in the USA it is completely twisted around by the Progressive Education System.
If any experiment in socialism should have worked it would be with the Pilgrims with their strong religious beliefs. But human nature reared it’s head ‘”young men that are most able and fit for labor and service” complained about being forced to “spend their time and strength to work for other men’s wives and children.” Also, “the strong, or man of parts, had no more in division of victuals and clothes, than he that was weak.” Yet four centuries later the elite are trying to base a system of government for the entire world on the same flawed thinking, or that is what they TELL us.
“The moment we face it frankly we are driven to the conclusion that the community has a right to put a price on the right to live in it … If people are fit to live, let them live under decent human conditions. If they are not fit to live, kill them in a decent human way.”
We are already seeing this in action in the UK with it’s Fabian controlled government.
Eugenics: the skeleton that rattles loudest in the left’s closet: Socialism’s one-time interest in eugenics is dismissed as an accident of history. But the truth is far more unpalatable from the Guardian!!! But the article makes it sound like it is all in the past when that is not the case.

Until now, end of life regime the Liverpool Care Pathway was thought to have involved only elderly and terminally-ill adults.
Almost half of the acute hospital trusts in the East have been offered incentives by the government to put dying patients on a programme that allows doctors to withdraw treatment. More than 10,000 patients in the region have been put on the Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP) in the last three years,
Ministers order an inquiry into the care pathway payments that saw hospitals receive millions to implement controversial system
* Several cases have been reported where patients have been put on Liverpool Care Pathway without their family’s knowledge
* Liverpool Care Pathway through to be a part in 130,000 deaths of hospital patients every year

Abuse of Liverpool Pathway extends to dehydrating newborns with disabilities
Children placed on controversial ‘death pathway’: Sick children are being placed on a controversial end-of-life “pathway” previously only thought to have been used for elderly and terminally-ill adult patients.
To the above, let me add a pointer to Zeke’s comment here re. the situation in Scotland, which sent a chill down my spine.
On a lighter note, I started reading ‘Circumventing Invasive Internet Surveillance with “Carrier Pigeons”’ on Global Research expecting not much more than a chuckle. But no. Diverting, yes, but interesting, and it also contains a surprising quantity of links to avian communications stories, pigeon trivia and suchlike down a fairly long page. (And I recommend it despite being a city resident with a healthy detestation of the local feral pigeons. ;-)
Gail Combs says: HG Wells says: “‘We cannot go on giving you health, freedom, enlargement, limitless wealth, if all our gifts to you are to be swamped by an indiscriminate torrent of progeny,’ he complained, ‘…and we cannot make the social life and the world-peace we are determined to make, with the ill-bred, ill-trained swarms of inferior citizens that you inflict upon us.’
This mental trick, this hypnotic suggestion, that human life relies in any way on an aristocratic managing class, is recognizable in this statement also from Bill Gates:
This is the ancient Spartan/Platonic lie creeping into these open statements is this: that you exist at the pleasure of the state, and it is the “kindness of the state” that allows you to live on the earth or not. But the Earth belongs to all people, and it is only this extractive aristocracy that first puts people on collective systems, and then claims that there is not enough money for say, this twin baby and that grandmother to live. To live on the Earth is not their gift to give. People have always lived into their 70’s. The innovations and inventions have come from individuals in every walk of life.
Now it may be the time to take deep, analytic stock of the science of genetics. I have powerful evidence that it is more full of false assumptions and confirmation bias than even climate science. The studies of monozygotic twins separated at birth and reared apart with carefully selected, highly similar adopted families are being used to support the idea that the source of almost all behavior is genetic. And yet there is no mechanism whatsoever for genes to express themselves in hobbies, college majors, and names of spouses. This is one of the many problems with genetic science such as it is.

Re: Irish Scots Gaelic Egyptian Connection (comments now closed)
E.M.Smith says (10 February 2012 at 9:59 pm):
Say what!? Neither the Phoenician nor Greek writing system is a semisyllabary; the former is an abjad, and the latter is a (genuine) alphabet. So I interpreted the unclear phrasing of the excerpted anonymous wikist as referring only to the glyphs in Iberian writing systems. Their nearest (genuine) syllabaries would’ve been the Linear B script of ca. 1400 B.C. Crete, altho’ its use was for Mycenaean Greek, and the Cyprominoan script of 13-C.–12-C. Cyprus, for Cypriot Minoan.
For more on these Iberian scripts, see the more specialized page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleohispanic_scripts.
Or perhaps better yet, see the dozen-or-so “Iberian Epigraphy” Web pages by an active long-time specialist: Jesús Rodríguez Ramos, indexed at http://webs.ono.com/documenta/. He might be especially sympathetically received herein, because by his account, he’s suffering persecution from his regional linguistics/epigraphy academic establishment.
It should be clear, e.g., that the 22 letters of Phoenician can’t account for a 37 letter ‘dual’ variant of northeastern Iberian (‘dual’ in the sense of having more-or-less-systematically separate symbols for voiced- vs. unvoiced-consonant syllables). Only 6 letters of the ‘dual’ script (i.e.: E, I, bI, Du, Te, N) can, with generosity, be attributed to direct borrowings from Phoenician for a comparable sound. But 8 (i.e.: Ge, kA, bI, Du, S, S’, R, L) are most similar to regional variations of archaic Greek (altho’ 1 letter (i.e.: R) is more distinctive in Late Etruscan), and 1 letter (i.e.: gA) to Carian, from Anatolia.
I just ran across a very interesting artical in the NYT
Brings to mind Rummel’s DEATH BY GOVERNMENT
The above article lead to another good article that expresses my feelings about government/private surveillance better than I ever could.
That’s good stuff, there, Gail. Thanks for showing them. I’d accumulated some Locke. Now I’ll read.
More Iberian/Re: Irish Scots Gaelic Egyptian Connection (comments now closed)
In my overnight posting on this topic, I hope readers figured out that I used glyphs, letters, and symbols as interchangeable terms. It’s a lack of discrimination that I’ll blame on separate sessions of drafting and expanding it, a day or 2 apart. My ‘bI’ should’ve been typed as ‘Bi’, because it’s the consonant shape that was used. Maybe I should’ve delayed my posting until today’s daylight and a mug of coffee.
The ‘dual’-variant N.E.-Iberian glyphs for voiced- vs. unvoiced-consonant syllables were divided by adding a more-or-less-systematic extra stroke somewhere on the voiced glyph to create the unvoiced glyph. So someone in an especially partisan mood might provoke an argument by attributing 2 more glyphs (i.e.: De, Tu) to direct borrowings from Phoenician, even tho’ the consonant glyph on which it’s based is not for the comparable sound in Phoenician, but instead for its voicing opposite. But I’d call “bogus!” on such partisanship.
I’d overlooked the neoPunic abjad (see, e.g.: Omniglot on Punic; its competitor AncientScripts displays nothing specific), culturally based at the Phoenician colony at Carthage (Mediterranean coast of Africa). One might, with generosity, attribute 3 ‘dual’-variant N.E.-Iberian glyphs (i.e.: I, Bi, dA) to direct borrowings from Punic for a comparable sound. 2 more glyphs (i.e.: SH a.k.a. Š, N) are just too scribbly cursive for me to give them credit for inspiring glyphs in a writing-system that’s presented in a properly monumental style (e.g.: ‘dual’ N.E. Iberian).
Compugator, thank you for that post and link on languages. I enjoyed clicking about on the various alphabets. The Italian language came to my attention, and I had not thought of where these dialects came from. A little more history:
To all: recall that Etruria preceeded Rome and likely Greece in all things, and that the Renaissance was Italian in its beginnings, and now Andrea Rossi may make the “grid” completely unnecessary.

Hey CIO. It’s been awhile since I read much here, but when I saw this, I thought about you.
“Back in December, I posted that we’re building an open laptop. The post generated hundreds of comments, and I was surprised there was so much interest.
To be honest, that was overwhelming. Also, there were many who didn’t get what we’re trying to do — as indicated by suggestions along the vein of “use a Core i7 and a fast nVidia graphics chip and sell it for under a hundred bucks and then I’d buy it”.
Rather than try to convince the Internet about my opinions, or suffer the distraction of running a Kickstarter campaign around a very complex and risky project, I decided to hunker down and stick with what I do best — hacking hardware.
Despite the lack of updates here, the project is alive and kicking. All our progress has been publicly trackable via our git repos and on our wiki. There’s also a discussion forum, although I tend to check in only once every month. The board-bringup process and feature validation matrix is noted here, and the list of changes from EVT to DVT is documented here. We also had a little adventure writing code that could calibrate wire delays on the DDR3 bus for a variety of SO-DIMM modules.”

Back to volcanoes.
There is this interesting volcano, Toba. It is the largest known volcano, bigger than Yellowstone.
There has been a bit of rumbling in the area recently.
There have been no eruptions at Toba in historical time. The area is seismically active with major earthquakes in 1892, 1916, 1920-1922, and 1987. The Oregon State website shows the fault line in the area but does not mention the more recent quakes. A 6.6 magnitude earthquake NW of Lake Toba super-volcano caldera occurred September 5, 2011 and a few days ago a 4.7 quake occurred in the Toba caldera. That area like Yellowstone and Iceland is sesmically active.

Hey Ralph B. Is there a sea temp measurement for water under/around the sea ice? That would probably be something to look at.
Sea Ice freezes from the top down and melts from the bottom up! Warm currents have much more to do with melting then the summer sun does. Watch the current flow and the ice above. pg
Sea surface temps are not high. Look to be about 28 or so http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/
And the area doesn’t look too stormy http://www.ospo.noaa.gov/Products/imagery/mosaics.html
I recall looking at Jeff Id when he made a composite movie of the ice and how it looked like the ice was excreted out the Greenland Iceland passage. I don’t see the ice melting up there, more like berging off and melting (hence cooling) the waters further south.
Found Jeff Id (Condon) sea ice video. I remember another version but can’t seem to find it.

So why do leftists often accuse others as being “unreliable witnesses”? Because they are. Why do leftists often analyze myths, legends, and religion as merely a justification for the power of the elite? Because their own private beliefs are focused on centralized power.
Here is an interesting statement by a political psychologist, and the data gathered through surveys:
My conclusion is that self-reports cannot reliably deliver accurate information about political psychology. The unreliability of self-reports is of course a byword so psychologists have devised various ways of allowing for that. Almost all of my research was based on self-reports so I routinely used all the common methods of dealing with their inherent problems. In addition, I used one that is most unusual in psychological research: I confined my research almost entirely to general population samples. Psychologists normally do their research by surveying university and college students and many of such respondents are too “wised up” for the precautions against misleading answers to work well. They tend to give the answers that they think the psychologist wants to hear and are rather good at doing so.
Even my high level of “precautiousness” was, however, in my final analysis, not good enough when one is examining political attitudes, and it was political attitudes that I was most interested in. What Leftists, in particular, said about themselves lined up very poorly with what is known from history about Leftist behaviour. For example, Leftists are great lovers of a powerful central authority, as preached by Hegel and as seen in Communist movements worldwide, yet there is never any trace of that in survey research results. One would in fact gather from their responses that they are against all that. The supporters of big government tend to portray themselves as opposed to everything about it. Leftists just seem unable to acknowledge their own real attitudes and motivations. The real motivations of Leftists would seem too dismal to be acknowledged.
So in the end, I think my results do have an important function: They discredit the entire discipline of political psychology insofar as it is based on survey research, which it mostly is. History is our only source of reasonable inferences about human political motivation.”

Just saw “Michael Smith” giving the weather report on The Weather Channel. Wonder if that’s the same one who wrote the book I bought…. It’s interesting sometimes to be named with a name that has 1:2000 of working population (that statistic has held at every company I’ve worked at with enough population to measure it…).
I once saw the drowning of Michael Smith in a boating accident reported by Michael Smith (being watched by Michael Smith…)
There’s also a “Club of Fred Smith” for all the Fred Smith’s of the world. Assuming about 100,000,000 working population in the USA, there ought to be about 50,000 of us knocking about. Might be a bit large for a club ;-)
At any rate, for anyone else who saw it and might be wondering: No, I’m not THAT Michael Smith. (He’s younger than me and better looking too ;-)
It is just a bit strange, though, to hear someone call out your name on the TV and announce that you are about to do something or other…
As quoted by Michele Casati at NIA ( http://daltonsminima.altervista.org/?page_id=9506#comment-116708 ) :
If the incenter point instead is the atmosphere, given the minimum amount of energy (proportional to the low air density), usually do not have high energy phenomena but perhaps luminous phenomena. But if, for the rare case, in that moment transitasse a plane that is composed of material of high density, would occur at least the phenomenon of the air gap. If the “vacuum” is intense, motors, high density and therefore of great energy storage, would be “fired” with great speed, without being able to drag the rest of the mass of the airplane. Therefore break off abruptly, however, causing the collapse of the structure as well as “other.” Usually the large aircraft, suffer the most serious accidents during periods of
alignment of the Sun, the Earth and the Moon (new moon or full moon) and while they are coming to take-off or landing. I know many incidents of large aircraft forcibly explained and also someone who has not been able to explain with current knowledge. I have a duty to report, although I receive at least misunderstanding about these and other natural phenomena which always occur on Earth even though the explanation may seem far-fetched

“Another Fabian eugenicist, the writer H.G. Wells, vented his frustration and indignation in a direct address to the working class. ‘We cannot go on giving you health, freedom, enlargement, limitless wealth, if all our gifts to you are to be swamped by an indiscriminate torrent of progeny,’ he complained, ‘…”
How ironic! Members of the ruling class threatening to take back the bounties that their “Inferiors” actually produce!
H.G.Wells lived long enough to see what came of suppressing Untermensch and exalting Aryan supermen. I wonder if he still approved of that evil idea when he died in 1946.
I guess that nothing much changed since H.G. Wells.

Gail Combs,
That comment from David S. Lesperance was really interesting. The idea of “Shopping for Jurisdictions” by High Net Worth individuals is one of the themes of “The Sovereign Individual” by James Dale Davidson & William Rees-Mogg (1997).
While this camel is by no means a HNW creature, many of the concepts apply even to “Church Mice”. It is a matter of cost/benefit analysis; at present I get the cost and someone else gets the benefit. The minute I stop working I will be on my way to another jurisdiction where the cost of living is much lower than Brevard county, Florida. I will be paying for services received rather than services for others:
Local taxes………25%.
Income taxes……..0%. I will have no taxable local income.
Medical costs……20%. The service is far better too. Doctors still make house calls!
Gasoline…………..90% Taxis are so cheap I will probably leave my cars in the USA.
Groceries…………70% The quality is excellent especially baked products and fresh fruit.
Socializing………..50%. Restaurants and local booze are really good and affordable.
Probably my greatest mistake was applying for US citizenship. Given the US government’s quaint practice of taxing “World Wide Income” I will still be paying federal income taxes regardless of where I live. Failing to pay “Uncle Sam” is not an option as my pensions are vulnerable to garnishment by the IRS.
Relinquishing citizenship is a possibility and I am thinking through the pros and cons of such action.
The UK recently decided to hike the taxes for “Fat Cats” with the effect that the tax collected fell sharply. The top tax brackets in the UK were already well to the right of the peak in the “Laffer Curve”.

Actually it was the international tax accountant’s comment that I found so interesting. (My creed is How to Lie with Statistics )
Think about it. The wealthy ruling class has always protected their assets while raping that of the poor and middle classes. BUT there has alway been in fighting among themselves as well as attacks on the upstarts. By having some countries that are tax havens the wealthy, who are much more mobile than we, can still protect their assets while putting a real squeeze on the assets of enemies as well as that of the middle class.
After all the whole aim of an intricate regulation system without trial by jury is to protect the favored while persecuting enemies and upstarts. It has nothing to do with protecting the ordinary citizen.

Gail Combs,
Probably the best retirement location in Latin America is Panama but my family considered it too hot so we spent more than a year roaming around Mexico, Costa Rica and Colombia. In the end we chose Colombia and moved to Bogota in 2006 but reluctantly returned to the USA in 2007.
As soon as my youngest son completes his electrical engineering degree at UCF my wife and I plan to spend our declining years in Llano Grande a few miles from Medellin’s international airport. The cost numbers that I gave earlier are typical for the suburbs of major cities in Colombia, namely Bogota, Medellin and Cali.
The most striking contrast is the cost of medical care. My wife was quoted $1,400 for an MRI in Florida which only cost $102 in Bogota. When we asked a doctor to “Read” the MRI report he refused to charge us!
Bogota has “World Class” golf courses including El Rincon and Los Lagartos. My personal favorite is La Cima owing to its spectacular scenery:
http://www.worldgolf.com/courses/colombia/la-cima-golf-club.html
Given my advanced age, Bogota’s altitude (>8,600 feet) was getting to me especially on the uphill holes. Llano Grande at roughly 7,000 feet does not bother me.
E.M., now that you are more comfortably ensconced in your new state of Florida, you might want to apply your unique kind of analysis to some of the most wide-spread corruption of truth, the scientific method, and independent investigative journalism – or not. In any case, I refer you to TheConservativeTreehouse, a site that, to me like, WUWT, is developing as an “alternative institution”. I wish there was some way to figure out how — given human nature and the need for profits — someone could manage to create a more independent media.

I’ll take a look. FWIW, though, I’m really tired of the “4 walling” of Zimmerman… He was getting beaten and killed a guy in self defense. He ought to have been acquitted. Yet… he chose to stupidly put himself in harms way as a ‘toy cop’ or ‘cop wannabe’. If “stupid were a crime” he’d be in trouble, IMHO. He could have stayed in the car and watched from a distance. Be eyes and ears and nothing more and both folks would have had decent lives. Now, thanks to him being stupid and playing toy cop; one is dead and The Left will make his life a living hell for the next few decades with all sorts of vilification and attempts to turn a tragedy into a Civil Rights Circus.
Lost somewhere along the way is that Zimmerman is not white. He is from a mixed race heritage. (Though what races was not made clear by the news report… I suspect perhaps Hispanic / white). As America is on the cusp of having no pure races left anymore, it’s going to be important for The Left to find ways to classify mixed race folks as “white” to maintain their tool of racial division to keep folks herded into the emotional plantation…

( Catholics and Protestants; English and Irish; Germans and {everybody else} ;-) and some Vikings and French and a few other ‘mixes’…) We’ve “got over it”. Yes, my skin as about as white as it comes. (Transparent pink, actually, those ‘redhead genes’…) Doesn’t change the fact that my ancestors spend most of their time “taking dirt” about each other and killing each others tribes. Oh Well.
So if it takes a bit longer for the rest of the human tribes to stop being so… so… “tribal”, that’s ok too I guess.
But just looking at my sisters kids (and their kids). My kids direct relatives (cousins) are a mix of Spanish, American Indian (via Mexican and via North American Indian), most all of the various European types who have been killing each other for generations, and some bits we’re not sure about. My kids are likely going to increase the blending too, given their wide ranging dating patterns (one was dating a person of mixed African ancestry with green eyes… a striking mix…) So if we are at all representative, The Race Card has about one more 30 year generation to run before there isn’t any Race left that can be clearly defined. Don’t know what the Dimocrats will do then. Try to set Mexicans against Nortes? Who knows… Don’t really care, either. We are just having a big party and getting on with the business of enjoying this life. “Take big bites. This life is not a dress rehearsal!”

There are people-safety issues in Florida — as well as in other states — because of the changes emanating from our government regarding “liberty and justice for all”. Some people, depending on their politics, not race or ethnic origin, (race is simply a cover for envy, greed, and deadly revenge) should not be tried for criminal action, no matter what they have done. Here is another excellent piece of investigative journalism.

There is so much more about Martin’s background and conduct that was purposefully and “Illegally” left out of the trial — e.g., one part of cell phone info included and another part kept out. This a tragedy of “parenting”, including the necessary backup discipline on the part of the police/law.
Chiefio,
I think you have it right. Too bad that stupidity is not a crime.
Martin Luther King Jr’s dream was that all people would be estimated by their words and actions, not by their outward appearance, and for hard work, devotion, and focus, there would be opportunity. But these policies that emphasize hiring or college acceptance quotas, or that race bait, or that create welfare dependence, are quite the opposite of anything he ever said. We all know it.
This is more like a 3rd party in our country than the GOP, lol (:
Dr. Ben Carson on the IRS use of its extensive power to persecute political enemies and its central role in enforcing Obamacare.
Revelation 13:16 “He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or[f] the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666.”
Possibly refers to an RFID, radio frequency identification. Obamacare permits the use of implantable devices, and there are also ink versions of RFIDs which can be permanently placed on the skin. Some states have already passed laws that outlaw placing any mark or implantation on its citizens. The means, motive, and opportunity is now available in our country for a mark to be placed in the right hand or on the forehead, and for this to be enforced through economic coercion (IRS in the US). However, this does not mean it is inevitable at this time; it could still be delayed because people have free will. This is the text.
(666 mHz??)
http://chriskresser.com/5-uncommon-uses-for-probiotics Interesting article on Probiotics
Zeke, 666MHz, although an appealingly plausible option, is pretty unlikely, as that frequency is smack in the middle of the TV broadcasting band in most countries. Interference to the RF side of the ID would, at the least, reduce the reliable range, which is not what you’d want for world domination.
A quick search on “rfid frequencies” (without quotes) suggests that existing RFID technology uses 4 main bands –
Low frequency (100-500kHz). “Just Below the Medium Wave BC band”;
High frequency (10-15MHz). “Around the Middle of the Shortwave”;
Ultra High Requency (850-950MHz). “Next to the Top of the TV band” and
Microwave (2.4-5.8GHz). “Up with the WiFis and Microwave Ovens”.
This page has a brief outline of the uses of the different bands, which vary with the characteristics typical of the bands used, with a little more detail here. They all seem to be shared with other services, although most (if not all) radio licences these days have a clause somewhere about not causing excessine interference to other services and being reasonably resilient to interference from them.
Agree re means, motive, and opportunity, and my commendations to the states you mention. Unfortunately I can’t see the “United Kingdom of the City of London and its Serfs” showing similar enlightenment any time soon, so I may have to wait for an ex cathedra pronouncement from the Church of the Sacred Carbon! ;-)
@Zeke & Steve C:
2/3=0.666= The Perfect Fifth:
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/2/20/Perfect_fifth_on_C.mid
@Steve C: Exactly!….but those are frequency of Transversal Waves not of SCALAR WAVES (sound-like waves)….
@Zeke: About our responsibility in regard to OUR health:
Steve, it is very unlikely that the number refers to a frequency of 666Mhz, although there has been some reshuffling of some of the frequencies and uses. The air waves are considered “public” so people have been charged to use frequencies locally they have always used. I know of this only anecdotally. I cannot interpret the number itself; it may be a numerical value of a name. It may coincide with several things. I do not know what the future of media such as radio is.
The RFID devices are not yet standardized for every continent, and I suppose a separate frequency could still be used for each country. But it also may become standardized all over the world. The problem is that there is too much data generation, but the supercomputers now have more ability to track and filter the data.
The RFID has also been used by owners to turn on lights, open cars, and log on to computers. It is also used to tally miles traveled on toll roads and automatically calculate the charge. They cost less than fifty cents. Every one gets the picture.
The problem associated with it later is a terrible sore, according to John’s prophecy. This may either be because of the lithium batteries, or because the frequency chosen will coincide with some natural disaster. “Pay now or pay later.” The technology is there, and I think this was another problem with Justice John Roberts ruling that Obamacare is “constitutional,” because the provision for medical ID devices is included.
SteveC says: link
“Standardised Bands
Radio waves and frequency bands and their standards are managed by the ITU-R (International Telecommunications Union for Radio Communication) and they have Radio Regulations, that apply to RFID technology. Their chart below defines the named frequency type allocation and each individual matching wavelength range.”
The ITU had a meeting in Dubai recently, and an attempt was made to increase regulation of the internet by the UN. As far as we know, nothing was accomplished. But I personally believe that this slinking fellow Snowden has a part to play in giving the nations of the world an excuse to call for the ITU to remove the US from its role in governance and regulation of the internet. Snowden has run to precisely the countries that want more control of internet access and use. They will now attempt to complain about the surveillance in the US. But they all do the same. New regulations of all frequencies and the internet would be included in future meetings of the ITU.

The World Mourns Babylon’s Fall
9 “The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning, 10 standing at a distance for fear of her torment, saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city Babylon, that mighty city! For in one hour your judgment has come.’
11 “And the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise anymore: 12 merchandise of gold and silver, precious stones and pearls, fine linen and purple, silk and scarlet, every kind of citron wood, every kind of object of ivory, every kind of object of most precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble; 13 and cinnamon and incense, fragrant oil and frankincense, wine and oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and bodies and souls of men. 14 The fruit that your soul longed for has gone from you, and all the things which are rich and splendid have gone from you,[e] and you shall find them no more at all. 15 The merchants of these things, who became rich by her, will stand at a distance for fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, 16 and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls! 17 For in one hour such great riches came to nothing.’ Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance 18 and cried out when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, ‘What is like this great city?’
19 “They threw dust on their heads and cried out, weeping and wailing, and saying, ‘Alas, alas, that great city, in which all who had ships on the sea became rich by her wealth! For in one hour she is made desolate.’
20 “Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you holy apostles[f] and prophets, for God has avenged you on her!”
Finality of Babylon’s Fall
21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “Thus with violence the great city Babylon shall be thrown down, and shall not be found anymore. 22 The sound of harpists, musicians, flutists, and trumpeters shall not be heard in you anymore. No craftsman of any craft shall be found in you anymore, and the sound of a millstone shall not be heard in you anymore. 23 The light of a lamp shall not shine in you anymore, and the voice of bridegroom and bride shall not be heard in you anymore. For your merchants were the great men of the earth, for by your sorcery all the nations were deceived. 24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and saints, and of all who were slain on the earth.”

These passages are from the book of Revelation. The text describing the mark on the hands or forehead are from chapter 13, and the other is from chapter 18. It was written in the first century.

Apropos of something: The War on Cash
“The war on cash in Sweden may be stalling. The anti-cash movement has been vigorously promoted by major Swedish commercial banks as well as the Riksbank, the Swedish central bank. In fact, for three of the four major Swedish banks combined, 530 of their 780 office no longer accept or pay out cash. In the case of the Nordea Bank, 200 of its 300 branches are now cashless, and three-quarters of Swedbank’s branches no longer handle cash. As Peter Borsos, a spokesman for Swedbank, freely admits, his bank is working “actively to reduce the [amount] of cash in society.” The reasons for this push toward a cashless society, of course, have nothing to do with pumping up earnings from bank card fees or, more important, freeing fractional-reserve banks from the constraints of bank runs. No, according to Borsos, the reasons are the environment, cost, and security: ”We ourselves emit 700 tons of carbon dioxide by cash transport. It costs society 11 billion per year. And cash helps robberies everywhere.” Hans Jacobson, head of Nordea Bank, argues similarly: “Our mission is to make people understand the point of cards, cards are more secure than cash.” http://mises.org/daily/6370/The-International-War-on-Cash
More on Dubai.
Dubai is now a center for most of the banks and insurance companies of the UAE. It was where the UTI met to discuss increased United Nations control over all frequencies, including those for RFID implantable devices, and over the internet. In 1991 it still looked like a parking lot in a desert. If it is not the City in Revelation, it is a type of it and illustrates the concentration of wealth and control over worldwide commerce which is called “Babylon Mother of Harlots.”

Zeke,
One of the reasons (aside from the major cost) that farmers fought NAIS/animal ID was because of “The Mark of the Beast” The World Trade Organization was behind the push for tagging livestock and Bill Clinton (closet Fabian) sent Dan Amstutz as the US Trade advisor. Amstutz is the one who wrote the Agreement on Agriculture that substituted ‘Traceability’ for border control, quarantine and testing. Now we have cattle with TB showing up at slaughter with Mexican ear tags…. The USDA/FDA response is not to prevent further infected cattle from crossing the border but to shut down dairies selling raw milk. GRRRrrrrr. (Again the herd is tested for disease and so is the milk so it is safe. Raw milk has nutrients not found in pasteurized link but that of course is highly debated link and CDC link The history of the raw vs pasteurized milk is just as bad as that of CAGW vs skeptics. http://www.drrons.com/raw-milk-history-health-benefits-distortions-3.htm and http://www.acresusa.com/toolbox/reprints/April04_Schmid.pdf
TB is just one of the diseases now coming into the USA. Mad Cow is another Royal F..k-up that was KNOWINGLY allowed into the USA. (I have all the links some where)
Hospitals have already done trial runs on implanted RFID chips for patients.

Potential for Abuse ‘Enormous’ With Massive Obamacare Database
Those worried about how much data the National Security Agency has collected on them won’t like what’s coming in 2014.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, popularly known as Obamacare, is building a giant database of everyone’s personal information as part of its effort to run the system. The Department of Health and Human Services assures everyone that the Federal Data Services Hub will be secure, but after the IRS and NSA scandals, not everyone is convinced.
Editor’s Note: Should ObamaCare Be Repealed? Vote in Urgent National Poll
“The potential for abuse is enormous,” notes Rare.com Deputy Editor James S. Robbins. He says that the massive database will include “income and financial data, family size, citizenship and immigration status, incarceration status, social security numbers, and private health information.”
It will compile files on everyone in the United States and will get its information from the IRS, the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense, the Veterans Administration, the Office of Personnel Management, the Social Security Administration, state Medicaid databases, and the Peace Corps.
While the Daily Mail reports that many fear the hub will be a hacker’s dream, Robbins says hacking isn’t the only threat. Community and consumer-focused nonprofit groups called “Navigators” will have access to the information for the purpose of receiving grants from health exchanges so they can “provide fair and impartial public education” and “refer consumers as appropriate for further assistance,” according to the Government Accountability Office.

Page 942-3: Toward a Planetary Regime
…
Perhaps those agencies, combined with UNEP and the United Nations population agencies, might eventually be developed into a Planetary Regime—sort of an international superagency for population, resources, and environment. Such a comprehensive Planetary Regime could control the development, administration, conservation, and distribution of all natural resources, renewable or nonrenewable, at least insofar as international implications exist. Thus the Regime could have the power to control pollution not only in the atmosphere and oceans, but also in such freshwater bodies as rivers and lakes that cross international boundaries or that discharge into the oceans. The Regime might also be a logical central agency for regulating all international trade, perhaps including assistance from DCs to LDCs, and including all food on the international market.
The Planetary Regime might be given responsibility for determining the optimum population for the world and for each region and for arbitrating various countries’ shares within their regional limits. Control of population size might remain the responsibility of each government, but the Regime would have some power to enforce the agreed limits.
Page 837: “Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society.”
Page 786: One way to carry out this disapproval might be to insist that all illegitimate babies be put up for adoption—especially those born to minors, who generally are not capable of caring properly for a child alone. If a single mother really wished to keep her baby, she might be obliged to go through adoption proceedings and demonstrate her ability to support and care for it. Adoption proceedings probably should remain more difficult for single people than for married couples, in recognition of the relative difficulty of raising children alone. It would even be possible to require pregnant single women to marry or have abortions, perhaps as an alternative to placement for adoption, depending on the society.
Page 787-8: Adding a sterilant to drinking water or staple foods is a suggestion that seems to horrify people more than most proposals for involuntary fertility control. Indeed, this would pose some very difficult political, legal, and social questions, to say nothing of the technical problems. No such sterilant exists today, nor does one appear to be under development. To be acceptable, such a substance would have to meet some rather stiff requirements: it must be uniformly effective, despite widely varying doses received by individuals, and despite varying degrees of fertility and sensitivity among individuals; it must be free of dangerous or unpleasant side effects; and it must have no effect on members of the opposite sex, children, old people, pets, or livestock.
This has already been developed by through funding by the USDA.
‘We have a hothouse filled with corn plants that make anti-sperm antibodies,’ said Epicyte president Mitch Hein in a 2001 press conference.
“If the men eat the epicyte gene they produce antibodies to
their own sperm, rendering them irreversibly sterile.”
“Essentially, the antibodies are attracted to surface receptors on the sperm,” said Hein. “They latch on and make each sperm so heavy it cannot move forward. It just shakes about as if it was doing the lambada.” Hein claimed it was a possible solution to world “over-population.”
Shortly after the 2001 Epicyte press release, all discussion of the breakthrough vanished. The company itself was taken over in 2004 by Biolex and nothing more was heard in any media about the development of spermicidal corn…. .exohuman.com {Genocidal Cereal Killer Released}

@CompuGator,
I live in Brevard county to the right of Orange county where the main UCF campus is located. Such a huge university has satellites all around including ones in Brevard, Volusia, Seminole and Osceola counties.
Chiefio did give me a phone number that I assumed was his cell phone. I called it earlier today and got a recording saying that the number was not reachable. The area code was 408 corresponding to San Jose, California,
As Chiefio has his family with him I am not too concerned for his personal safety but like many here I suspect he is indisposed to the point that he cannot maintain this blog.

@Gail, I will look forward to seeing your post on RFIDs. It should have been a privately used technology to help find lost animals or abducted persons.
The list of agencies which are being used for the database for Obamacare is very long. The concern over the NSA data gathering, if not transferred over to Obamacare, is obviously nothing but a false froth whipped up for political cover. “Under ObamaCare, a new government entity called the Federal Data Services Hub will share and transmit extremely personal information between the following:
Internal Revenue Service,
Health and Human Services,
the Department of Justice,
Homeland Security,
Veterans Affairs,
Department of Defense,
the Social Security Administration,
state governments,
Medicaid offices,
as well as the state and federal insurance exchanges.”
The “navigators” access this information. Obamacare, once again to repeat, includes provisions for the use of a chip, or RFID, which is an implantable device “for medical purposes,” and has been ruled constitutional by the Supreme Court. This indicates that time is getting short. Very difficult decisions are ahead of all of us.

Huh? If he does, then I suppose you should be considered a privileged recipient of information that I believe would be major (personal) news to the rest of Chiefio’s readers.
I thought he’d made it clear at the outset that his wife would be holding down the family fort in Silicon Valley, until he felt settled in enough here in Florida to have her join him. In the meantime, if he didn’t actually write it, I assumed that she would be focused on arranging the transcontinental move of household goods.
In the initial episodes of his transcontinental drive, everything about it indicated that it was a solo trip, and nothing indicated that he had company, e.g.: no mention of switching off the driving duties. Upon his arrival, he mentioned that temporary lodging that’s adequate by his criteria would not meet his wife’s criteria–the latter verb-tense referring to a time in the future when she would arrive from California.
Perhaps some snags have suddenly developed with moving the household goods. I imagine that his workshop is stuffed from its floor up into its rafters, so I can’t rule out the possibility of some accidental injury occurring to a family member during packing. Maybe even severe enough for him to make an inconvenient round-trip back to the Valley, to take charge. In which case, I’d certainly wish them a rapid & complete resolution or recovery.
He wrote on one post that his spouse was coming for a holiday, but didn’t indicate any time frame. While it’s unusual to hear nothing from him for so long, the blog is probably low on his list of priorities at the moment.
” “The rules allow navigators to come from the ranks of unions, health providers and community action groups such as ACORN and Planned Parenthood,” reported the Examiner.”
@Compugator,
I don’t have any privileged information. I just picked up on that posting that Verity refers to above.
I was planning to invite him for dinner at Grandma’s Kitchen on Thursday August 1, but then I found that the cell phone number I have for Chiefio no longer works. I will try email although it hasd not worked well in the past.

That is also what gives me hope. ‘Be glad you don’t get all the government you pay for.’
It does not mean there are not a bunch of very wealthy meglomaniacs out there willing to give it a try. I have met some of them while living in Westchester county NY (near the Rockefellers)
thirdworldtraveler.com has excerpts from “Tragedy and Hope A History of the World in Our Time by Carroll Quigley, 1966” Quigley was Clinton’s mentor/professor.
There is also From Carroll Quigley to the UN Millennium Summit @ lewrockwell.com
There are certainly lots of clues that the elite have plans. On the other hand there is the problem of ‘Honor among Thieves’ which is generally non-existent.
The biggest problem that I see is the attempts at manipulation, such as Clinton and the mortgage/foreclosure set-up, Clinton handing the Chinese US military secrets and other boneheaded moves like regulating anything that moves that are designed to cripple the USA and then instead of a world government we get WWIII since the USA is intentionally leaving the Mexican border wide open.
Gail Combs,
The tenth amendment to the US constitution says:
“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
This amendment embodies the concept of “Pluralism” with power distributed among the many. Today we see the “Commerce” and “General Welfare” clauses trumping the tenth amendment.
The result is a relentless concentration of power into the hands of ruling elites. Who would have thought that the USA could become an oligarchy?

Zeke, I am reposting my RFID comment but took out the first part of the url tag in the links and added ( ). Hope that fools wordpress.
One of the reasons (aside from the major cost) that farmers fought NAIS/animal ID was because of “The Mark of the Beast” The World Trade Organization was behind the push for tagging livestock and Bill Clinton (closet Fabian) sent Dan Amstutz as the US Trade advisor. Amstutz is the one who wrote the Agreement on Agriculture that substituted ‘Traceability’ for border control, quarantine and testing. Now we have cattle with TB showing up at slaughter with Mexican ear tags…. The USDA/FDA response is not to prevent further infected cattle from crossing the border but to shut down dairies selling raw milk. GRRRrrrrr. (Again the herd is closed, tested for disease and so is the milk so it is safe.)
Raw milk has nutrients not found in pasteurized link (nourishedkitchen.com/10-reasons-drink-raw-milk/ ) but that of course is highly debated link (nourishedkitchen.com/10-reasons-drink-raw-milk/ )and CDC link (www.cdc.gov/foodsafety/rawmilk/raw-milk-questions-and-answers.html ) The history of the raw vs pasteurized milk is just as bad as that of CAGW vs skeptics. (www.drrons.com/raw-milk-history-health-benefits-distortions-3.htm ) and (www.acresusa.com/toolbox/reprints/April04_Schmid.pdf )
TB is just one of the diseases now coming into the USA. Mad Cow is another Royal F..k-up that was KNOWINGLY allowed into the USA. (I have all the links some where)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
There are a couple of other parts to the transfer of power from the people and states to the federal government.
(1) The change from the Senate representing the STATES point of view with the two senators picked by the state legislators to the Senate being a clone of the House and therefore subject to the same MSM that is owned by the banksters.
(2) Taxes collected from the citizens of the state and then handed back to the state with lots of strings attached. ie if you do not lower speed limits to 55 you get no Federal highway money….
(3) The granting of legislative power to the executive branch. This includes not only bureaucrats like the EPA and FDA making ‘Regulations’ with the same clout as a Congressional law but Executive Orders. (The Supreme Court ruled this was OK if there was a Federal Register where citizens could comment on the regulations. Ever seen anything about that RIGHT in any high school class??? Also did the over 5000 He!! NO’s! and very few YES! stop the bureaucrats from giving us Animal ID???)
(3) The trashing of the US jury system and the removal of the citizens RIGHT to judge both the accused AND THE LAW. This right is critical because it allows citizens the final say on laws and regulations. Therefore it was absolutely necessary for the ruling class to demolish this right. They did so by:
(3a) First making sure jurors are not informed of their rights and duties as jurors. (see Fully Informed Jury Movement)
(3b) Second by giving bureaucratic departments a ‘within house Judicial Tribunal’ that replaces the trial by jury, as well as complex ‘regulations’ no one can understand. In this way the Supreme Court intentionally trashed the Constitution and Amendment VII.
Pretty darn clear isn’t it? But the Supreme Court didn’t think so.
So there went our last constraint on the Federal government. Without a trial by jury we lost our RIGHT to overrule idiotic laws and regulations.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Zeke, some where, I think on NoNAIS, Mary Zenoni (lawyer) did a legal challenge on the data gathered by the government via ‘Premise ID’ (part of Animal ID) It was found the data was stored on computers in Canada so could not be accessed via FOIA! The reason for the challenge was because states were signing people up for premise ID without their knowledge or consent. Heck Four H leaders even had little kids signing up their parents farms !!!
The premise ID is really bad news. This Article by Derry Brownfield was written several years ago when ‘premise ID’ and NAIS was ‘VOLUNTARY’. At that time he Federal Register clearly defined that “It is important to note that participation in the NAIS is voluntary.”
I am using some of the introductory parts of Derry Brownfield’s article since they give the big picture of why the US government enacted farm regulations (Food Safety Modernization Act) that are impossible to adhere to and without the right to a jury trial.
The original house bill HR875 calls for the creation of a Food Safety Administration allowing the government to regulate food production at all levels – and even mandates property seizure, fines of up to $1 million per offense and criminal prosecution [up to ten years in jail] for producers, manufacturers and distributors who fail to comply with regulations. To get the bill to pass this part along with the Commerce Clause were left out… for now. All it takes is a small amendment on another bill to put these parts right back in. That is what was done with the Animal
RightsWelfare Act. The elite never give-up. They ‘Compromise’ while attention is focused to get a skeleton bill passed and later add back all the controversial parts when the spotlight is gone.Now the government is trying to get gardeners to ‘register their gardens’ (www.alt-market.com/articles/891-utah-garden-challenge-actually-government-registration-in-disguise )
This from a lawyer on the ramifications of the Commerce Clause in the Food Safety Modernization Act.
With that as background here is Derry Brownfield’s article
Derry Brownfield tangled with the big boys and got kicked off his radio program by his ex-partner. See: Derry Brownfield was a veteran of farm radio reports, until he went after Big Ag

Individuals Who Are Not Authorized to
Work in the United States Were Paid
$4.2 Billion in Refundable Credits
(www.treasury.gov/tigta/auditreports/2011reports/201141061fr.pdf )
So from the point of view of the Federal government TAXES are much more important than protecting our borders or our jobs.
And another one: When can the US military act within the USA? Originally Posse Comitatus Act, a longstanding federal statute restricted the government’s ability to use the U.S. military as a police force. One federal court explained: “Military personnel must be trained to operate under circumstances where the protection of constitutional freedoms cannot receive the consideration needed in order to assure their preservation. The Posse Comitatus statute is intended to meet that danger.” however the Republicans under Bush decided to do away with that protection (www.cato.org/publications/commentary/what-posse-comitatus )
This isn’t even a law passed by Congress but a ‘Regulation’ placed in the Federal Register!
“…Execution of quarantine and certain health laws…” If you are wondering what that is all about I suggest reading about the Plum Island lab relocation, FMD and the Crimson Sky Scenario (butnerblogspot.wordpress.com/2008/03/25/nbaf-fmd-and-the-crimson-sky-scenario/ ) and ‘What is DEPOPULATION?’ (arkansasanimalproducers.8k.com/about_10.html )

@All: Does any one know about our friend E.M. ? Hope he is OK.
Gail,
10 years ago, when I had retired and we were selling our condominium and moving onto the boat, we thought it might be useful to take the H&R Block tax course that we might pick up some spare cash here and there. Were we shocked. We had both thought we were sharp on the tax code in general, certainly what income was and wasn’t taxable and deductions. Little did we know of the complexities at the lower range of income (they weren’t there when we were in those brackets). It turned out that it is a real challenge to determine the filing status of folks who are lower income, have an aunt living with them and a daughter living with another relative. We found the variety of situations contemplated by the code at the bottom brackets astonishing.
And BTW, we thought the H&R Block course we took in Miami was excellent. Their preparers are required to take the course annually. We were really impressed with how knowlegable a lot of them were.
We never did work for H&R Block despite doing well in their course. We discovered that the people who made real money doing this built up a customer base in a particular location over several years – people who requested their services specifically. Otherwise the walk-ins are cycled around the preparers which only produces minimum wage when the heat is on, people wanting to get their refunds for a few weeks at the beginning of the year.
Looks like the scientific creation myth is exposed universe is 100s of billions of years old. I thought there is no way all these galaxies and stars could get organised in 13billion…

….Here is an interesting statement by a political psychologist, and the data gathered through surveys:
ROTFLMAO!!!
Mann vs Steyn
And this is an example of our great and wonderful judicial system?
Gail says, “Actually what is happening is the mixing up of the goals of the Ruling Class (who masquerade as liberals) and the rank and file who believe the lies they are told.”
In the first instance, these are the ones with the exceedingly agressive, misanthropic view that is “too dismal to be acknowledged,” as the political psychologist worded it. And in the second instance, it may be possible that these “rank and file” progressives are simply gullible or credulous. They believe that expanding government to provide cradle-to-grave services to all people is a wonderful idea, and now they wish to add saving the planet by deindustrializing.
However, gullibility and credulity can and does get people killed. If this progresses, and this turns deadly (because authoritarian, tyrannical, and socialist governments historically begin first to kill their own citizens by the ten thousands, hundred thousands, and millions before invading their neighbors), then these very credulous individuals will be revealed as wreckless killers themselves, for having supported the deadly government and for increasing its power, and for ignoring good counsel and plain observations along the way that revealed what they are pursuing has very destructive consequences for economies and lives.
PS Thank you for the research on RFIDs and food “safety” legislation. I have always learned so much from all of you.

I certainly agree with you there. (Again I am removing h.t.t.p.:.// to save EM the trouble of fishing my comment out of the ether.)
There is a saying: “If your not a Socialist before 30 you have no heart, if your still a Socialist after 30 you have no head” So the idea is to capture the idealistic rebellious young and use them.
John Dewey, American Fabian and Father of Progressive Education took this saying to heart and tried to come up with an educational method to make sure America’s youth never grew-up and never learned reason. (Now you know why disciplining a child became a crime in the USA.)

Motown’s Biggest Hit! by Mark Steyn
(www.steynonline.com/3718/motown-biggest-hit )
Unfortunately Mark Steyn is only speaking the truth.
Another of the moves to hide their manipulation was removal of subject matter that would allow citizens to figure out how they were being manipulated. For example:
Ignoring Elites, Historians Are Missing a Major Factor in Politics and History
The Great Thanksgiving Hoax
(mises.org/daily/336 )
So again and again in the early history of American colonization ‘Socialism’ was tried and failed miserably but this lesson in reality was removed from the US school curriculum. Of course the Fabians had a solution for the problem of those “choosing to be parasites”
I doubt that anyone bothered to tell this to the welfare types voting for the Fabians. And it is not just the dead weight sleighted for elimination as the Soviet Intelligentsia found out after the revolution.
In this country the manipulation of education was also evident when the Bank Cartel placed their specially groomed economists in universities. We see the continuation of this in the Global Warming Hoax.

Once prepped by Progressive Schools young people were ready to be exploited:
The ‘Innocents’ Clubs’
(www.heretical.com/miscella/munzen.html )
In April? 1994, after the KGB files were opened, the Wall Street Journal had a small blurb on a back page. It said that the papers found in the Kremlin showed activists groups in the USA were not only funded by the KGB but were LEAD by the KGB. I wish I had clipped that article but I though it would make front page news, more fool me.
SO why didn’t this news make front page headlines? Who is now paying for the manipulation of the left? Standard Oil (Rockefeller) and the chemical and pharmaceutical industries were already linked to the Nazis. So why shouldn’t they use the tactics and organizations already set up by the KGB. Actually the Rockefellers were already neck deep in manipulating the American left for personal gain. Do you think Rockefeller was bluffing about being part of a secret cabal in his autobiography?
Or when speaking at the UN Business Council in Sept 17 1994
This sounds like a ‘Conspiracy Theory’ until you read WTO director Pascal Lamy’s more current words. (June 08, 2011)
So back in the thirties the decision was made to scrap the USA. Of note, David Rockefeller and John F Kennedy among many other leaders in politics, banking and commerce are graduates of the Fabian founded London School of Economics. Pascal Lamy, Bill Clinton and ex-UK Prime Minister lecture there. The Fabians goal has always been a world government under their control.
The Rockefeller/Maurice Strong connection
Maurice Strong (a rabid Socialist) worked in Saudi Arabia for a Rockefeller company, Caltex, in1953 He left Caltex in 1954 and to worked at high levels in banking and oil. By 1971, he served as a trustee for the Rockefeller Foundation, and in 1972 was Secretary-General of the U.N. Conference on the Human Environment,. He was Co-founder of the WWF and Senior Advisor to the World Bank and the UN, not bad for someone who was a dirt poor high school drop out in 1947.
The whole Rockefeller/Strong/Saudi/Khashoggi/CIA/Bush/oil/banking interconnections are worth pursuing considering the 1973 Oil Crisis bankrupted third World Countries so they had to get World bank/IMF loans with SAPs strings controlling their governments.
SEE: (www.whirledbank.org/development/sap.html )
Strong’s early work with YMCA international “…may have been the genesis of Strong’s realization that NGOs (non-government organizations) provide an excellent way to use NGOs to couple the money from philanthropists and business with the objectives of government.” (sovereignty.net/p/sd/strong.html )
In 1954 Lyndon B Johnson’s amendment changed the IRS code, prohibiting tax-exempt entities and churches from endorsing or opposing political candidates. Although this has largely stopped the influence of churches it has had absolutely no effect on NGOs. The prominence of NGOs and the foundations of today’s environment movement are traceable to the 1972 Strong’s U.N. Conference
Next we come to the financing of all this manipulation. A gifted writer (and John Bircher) nailed it.
Next up is the bankrupting of the USA to place it under complete control and remove the US Constitution. Perkin’s fingers the USA but in reality it is America’s Ruling Class.

“What unites the many different forms of Socialism is the conception that socialism must be handed down to the grateful masses by a ruling elite which is not subject to their control…” And the bankers/Fabians plan to be that “elite”

Unfortunately they have enough money to be “respectable’ (think JFK and his bootlegger Dad)
My Silly Wild Donkey guess is that the Soviet Union and the European Union were ‘Experiments’ by the Fabian Elite to figure out what the best method for ruling people was. They decided that something like the EU worked best because decisions were made far removed from the influence of the people but it gave the ‘Great Unwashed’ the illusion of freedom since NGOs could be used to control opinions. Without this illusion of freedom the serfs became unproductive despite any of the methods used by the Soviets. At that point the Soviet Union intentionally had the rug pulled out from under it and it collapsed.

Now take a second and think about the actors in this play.
Gorbachev, Maurice Strong and Al Gore are referred to as “The Three Musketeers” of the environmental movement. (rense.com/general12/gobie.htm ) You then have Obama, Maurice Strong, Al Gore as key players cashing in on Chicago Climate Exchange. You have the Rockefeller/World Bank’s man Maurice Strong traveling freely between Canada, China and the Soviet Union. No doubt whispering in ears.
Maurice Strong: The new guy in your future! by Henry Lamb
You have this validation at Maurice Strong’s Website. (www.mauricestrong.net/index.php/earth-council-alliance )
You then pull in the final actors Bill Clinton and Pascal Lamy entering stage left a scant four years after the collapse of the Soviet Union. (Bush had also tried and failed to get NAFTA and WTO ratified.) Clinton was responsible for the five banking laws that resulted in the current financial crisis. Clinton ratified NAFTA and WTO in 1995. Clinton started the push for the Food Safety Modernization Act and ‘Obamacare’. Clinton gave the Chinese US technical secrets including military secrets and then brought China into the WTO.

There are many flavors of Socialism and the Fabians are know for working with any and all of them. Socialism to them is just the sheepskin hiding the wolf from the gullible masses. (www.freedomforceinternational.org/freedomcontent.cfm?fuseaction=fabianwindow&refpage=issues )
There is enough evidence that the London Bankers/Rothschilds and the Fabians are ‘Associates’ There is also evidence that these bankers funded the Bolshevik Revolution.

Thank you Gail.
The “United Nations” is nothing more than a World Empire. There is a spiritual dimension to all of this. Empires in the scripture are huge, unnatural, dreadful beasts assembled, like chimera, of things that do not naturally belong together. This next world empire is pictured the same way as the Roman Empire – the image is the same:
19 “Then I wished to know the truth about the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, with its teeth of iron and its nails of bronze, which devoured, broke in pieces, and trampled the residue with its feet; 20 and the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, before which three fell, namely, that horn which had eyes and a mouth which spoke pompous words, whose appearance was greater than his fellows.
21 “I was watching; and the same horn was making war against the saints, and prevailing against them, 22 until the Ancient of Days came, and a judgment was made in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for the saints to possess the kingdom.
23 “Thus he said:
‘The fourth beast shall be
A fourth kingdom on earth,
Which shall be different from all other kingdoms,
And shall devour the whole earth,
Trample it and break it in pieces.
24 The ten horns are ten kings
Who shall arise from this kingdom.
And another shall rise after them;
He shall be different from the first ones,
And shall subdue three kings.
25 He shall speak pompous words against the Most High,
Shall persecute[d] the saints of the Most High,
And shall intend to change times and law.
Then the saints shall be given into his hand
For a time and times and half a time.” Daniel 7
This beast is the Roman Empire, but reappears as a future World Empire in Revelation. This world leader, who will compel people to receive a mark in the right hand or forehead, has several other identifying characteristics.
“11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. 12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. 14 And he deceives those[e] who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. 15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or[f] the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” Revelation 13
That is the text so you can see for yourself. I would add that the technology has arrived for the mark, which would allow for economic coercion and forced participation. RFID implantable chips are connected to an Obamacare Data Hub.
He will be wounded. It seems to me he is a man who is nearly killed. His survival will be considered miraculous. He will also be extremely pompous and blasphemous in his language.
The fire from heaven is also quite simple. The Earth is a charged body surrounded by Van Allen Belts in which flow tremendous amounts of electrical energy. This clever leader will be able to show signs because he figured out that it is an electric universe and will use it for political and religious purposes. The “elites” we are speaking of believe that only religion really motivates the simple people, so they will attempt to use religion in est. of a World Empire. They will deliberately present a false christ, and anti-christ, promising world “peace and safety.”
The idol is very strange and hard to explain. But it is clever. There are only certain types of people who will resist giving reverence to an idol, so in a way, I think this idol is a shibboleth set up to determine and identify who is religious or even just sensible. The Romans had a simple test: “Just say ‘Caesar is Lord'” and those who objected and lost their lives. Also, in Daniel, the clever ruling class desired to get rid of Daniel, so they passed a law that would require prayer only to the king, for the period of one month. This religious requirement was deliberate and allowed them to arrest Daniel. Also, the academics have long kept their circles pure of conservatives, and other view-points, by insisting on evolutionary doctrines as a standard of scientific literacy. Any one who reserves belief is considered anti-science. It is a kind of scientific shibboleth. This is a tactic we may all be familiar with.
There is plenty of precedence in history for megalomaniacs making statues of themselves – esp. in the Roman Empire. The means of killing us will be beheading, and some will be burned. The decisions ahead may become very difficult. We will all need strength, courage, and hope to walk through what may be coming. God will provide powerfully for those who trust Him. And it may still be delayed. I am letting you know these things because you may never hear of it otherwise.
Zeke, I am an ‘Agnostic’ that is I just plain don’t know but as a scientist the laws we have uncovered make me lean towards a divine being. I got turned off organized religion because of all the hypocrisy, however there is a heck of a lot of very good philosophy and common sense in the Bible. I was raised a Christian and I am appalled by the open attacks on the Jews and the Christians. The attack on Roy Spencer’s beliefs in CONGRESS was enough to make me see red! There is also enough going on right now, such as an attempt at a totalitarian world government and ‘Mark of the Beast’ to scare me.
What is interesting is Maurice Strong and his buddies have gathered a bunch of people from different religions to more or less hammer out a ‘New Religion’. Religion has often been a method used for controlling the masses. Look up Maurice Strong, Aspen Institute, Baca Ranch, and the Crestone Institute.
You might enjoy a VERY LONG discussion (over 200 pages!) at a die-hard Conspiracy website Above Top Secret (ATS) called All Roads Lead to Rome. (www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread564758/pg1 )
ProtoplasmicTraveler, who happens to live in Florida, put a lot of research into it and other members added. He later got kicked off the website and the thread was closed about a year ago.
I will warn you that after following WUWT and EM the level of intelligence is not as high at ATS so there is a lot more chaff to wade through. There are also some very sharp people contributing. All Roads Lead to Rome gathers a lot of different information you normally won’t come across about history and plans for a one World Government all in one place which is why I recommend it.
Thank you Gail. I am thankful for you as an objective observer. I have been very wonderfully instructed and taught by every one of you over the past four years. I owe you all so much.

Verity,
Thanks very much. I am still chuckling.
@Verity,
At about 8 years old I attended the Convent School in Tenby, Pembrokeshire, South Wales just outside the “Five Arches” in the ancient town walls.
Back then I had a donkey that was beyond awesome. When the donkey died none of my relatives could console me so I asked my favorite nun whether donkeys went to heaven.
She answered “No, donkeys don’t have souls”. As a heaven without donkeys is unappealing I am not a Catholic.
Zeke & Gail,
One can believe in a “Divine Being” while realizing that “isms” don’t make sense. The “isms” were created by the imagination of mankind (Buddhism, Islamism, Judaism and all the others). They can’t all be right. Can even one of them be right? When you pick an “ism” you are saying that the rest of us are wrong.
What is it with dog owners? One of them told me that the first Gate you come to after you die says, “Heaven. No pets. Leave animals here.” But a little further along, there is a second Gate. When you go in this gate, they will then tell you “We just didn’t want anyone in the third heaven who would leave their pets like that.” (:

Eat more iodine. http://www.whfoods.com/genpage.php?tname=nutrient&dbid=69
Older folks switching from commercial iodized NaCl to commercial un-iodized KCl however could be at risk. If you are on a low salt diet, eat more cheese, yogurt and eggs as well as fish and shellfish. As long as all the salt in processed foods is iodized it should not be a problem in the USA.
The big question is if all the salt in your pizzas and burgers is iodized salt. And the answer is NO.
Another comment mentioned an iodine skin test where 2% iodine was applied to the skin and the color measured.
Is the Iodine Skin Test Accurate, Plus How Much Iodine Should I Take?
(renegadehealth.com/blog/2011/01/17/is-the-iodine-skin-test-accurate-plus-how-much-iodine-should-i-take )
A couple of the scientific studies:
Transcutaneous iodine absorption in adult patients with thyroid cancer disinfected with povidone-iodine at operation.
(www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16029128 )
125I uptake competing with iodine absorption by the thyroid gland following povidone-iodine skin application.
(www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9250480 )
No doubt this is why povidone-iodine scrubs were taken off the consumer market a few years ago. you can still get the povidone-iodine liquid for treating wounds. I add it to baby shampoo for the spring bath of my animals since it kills rain-rot and other skin fungi.
7% iodine was also taken off the market. It was used for sterilizing the umbilical cord of colts, lambs, kids and calves. It kills tetanus AND VIRUSES. It also keeps tick bites from itching and helps prevent infection if applied within 12 hrs or so of getting bitten. However it burns the heck out of you skin and could cause problems with your thyroid.

@Camel “you are saying that the rest of us are wrong.”
The plain message is that there is such thing as good and truth, and also evil and falsehood. This being so, man is a free agent, who has the liberty to choose between these. This is not foreign to the ancient and the wisest traditions of other people also. But in the coming age, nothing will enter heaven that “makes or practices a lie.” Today all things are mixed and we have sorrows.
Why does anyone think it is so strange or impossible that there is a resurrection of the body? “It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.” “It is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.” (1 Cor 15) Just look at a flower bulb or corm. You cannot tell what will grow up from a bulb, whether it will be a hyacinth, or a daffodil, or maybe a gladiola. But the form of the true nature of that flower is in the ugly bulb which is planted in the ground.
Or if you watch a dragonfly emerge from its nymph stage, you can see a picture of how our true form will emerge from our physical form.
So our true spiritual nature will be revealed from our old bodies, such as they are. In the afterlife, you cannot appear to be one way outside, and be something else on the inside. That is impossible. And so complete forgiveness and an extremely powerful work of inward regeneration is provided now.
Zeke,
Those videos were awesome. Evidence of a higher power in my estimation. But what higher power? The one praised by Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Jews or the thousands of others?
If you think one of any religion as “Right” you are saying that all the others are wrong.

You make so much sense. I would really appreciate an opportunity to meet you. It would be great if we could meet in Brevard county, Florida but failing that I travel to North Carolina from time to time.

Of course in early eras if nature took a 90 degree turn the shaman king could find himself sacrificed.
Maybe we do need to return to worship of GAIA along with the sacrifice of out political leaders (with ritual torture of course) if they screw up. It might keep them a bit more honest.

Gail Combs says above, “the idea is to make the elected political leaders responsive to US and not to the elite as they are now.” Quite right – perhaps we’d do better to forget representative democracy and go for participatory democracy, more like the ancient Greeks’ understanding of the concept. If you want something done properly, do it yourself, as my Mum used to say.
At the least, if we can’t do something directly to control the hierarchies we have created, we could think about the phenomenon identified by Alessandro Pluchino et al in Accidental Politicians: How Randomly Selected Legislators Can Improve Parliament Efficiency:
(My bold)
It could hardly result in a worse system than we have at present, and if that sounds like a damning indictment of the current arrangement, so be it. His earlier paper, on applying similar methodology to business hierarchies, is here.
@Adolfo – Agreed, very weird. I used to be pretty scathing about people finding pi (or whatever) in pyramid measurements, but when as many “phi’s” and regular relationships as that turn up hand in hand, “Once is happenstance, Mr. Bond. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.”)
“Britain’s bill for EU membership has more than tripled over the last decade, increasing from £2.9 billion in 2002 to £9.5bn in 2012. Britain’s “net contribution” to the EU went up £1.7bn or 22 per cent last year setting a new record for the cash sum that British taxpayers handed over to Brussels.”
@ Gail Combs “Maybe we do need to return to worship of GAIA along with the sacrifice of out political leaders (with ritual torture of course) if they screw up. It might keep them a bit more honest.”
Or maybe something a bit more civilized. I like the old custom from Venice back when it was still a sovereign Republic. There was a special gallows, reserved for the exclusive use of hanging the Dodge when he went bad. The gallows was in the square adjacent to the Dodge’s office and visible through the window as he performed his official functions.

I’m not so sure I believe Dubin is right in the sense that the tech companies are exerting a huge influence over Congress to up the number of H1Bs. This, at a time when the middle class is already shrinking. Importing huge numbers of IT workers will just exacerbate this problem. Tech companies pay HIBs much less than US citizens and naturally that drives down wages for citizens that manage to keep their jobs. The bottom line is that government and big business are sleeping together. To secure votes the politicians have erected a lavish welfare system. The secure money, the politicians suck up to business and the rich. The middle class no longer has representation.

Madame Guillotine on the White House lawn? And the entrance of the House and Senate?
One way in which I mis-spent my youth was reading science fiction. I’m fairly sure it was in a Robert Sheckley story that, on some distant planet, politicians were required to wear a close-fitting, locked collar, linked to the central computer, from the day they started to the day they were replaced.
The population, following what a politician did, could vote for or against that politician down at the local town hall, with the central computer keeping track of the votes. When too many people had voted against some misbehaving individual, the explosive charge in the collar was triggered, solving the problem directly.
I always did like Sheckley’s stories. And just think, now, “we have the technology” … ;-)

Huh? In her comment, Combs didn’t write anything about H1Bs or “tech companies” specifically.
jim2 says (per link above):
What the (expletives deleted) do you mean, “will”, as if the impacts of H1B visas on U.S. citizens have not yet appeared, and can only be detected at some indefinite time in the future!? Sheesh!
jim2 says (per link above):
It also (reportedly) creates cliques of foreign high-tech workers who, once they obtain hiring authority, hire people whose styles of operation they’re most comfortable with–who, unsurprisingly, typically are foreigners like themselves. De facto affirmative action” for foreigners!
Meanwhile, as the national politicians–of both parties–promote the apple-pie goal of home ownership, H1B visa-holders are often cooped up 4 or more to a 2-bedroom apartment, paid for by their corporate sponsor or some intermediary. A dormitory life-style can make good sense for college undergrad students, but for a U.S. citizen who’d finally survived the challenges of earning 1 or more degrees in engineering or computer science!? A U.S. computing, engineering, or hard-sciences professional should not have her/his salary & living arrangements insultingly reduced for race-to-the-bottom competition with whatever will be tolerated by foreigners who’ve received an artificially privileged priority to immigrate to the U.S.A.
jim2 says (per link above):
It’s economic treason, pure and simple. Probably no more egregious example exists than a Silicon Valley congresswoman (seems to me that it’s Zoe Lofgren, who might once have been my county supervisor/commissioner): She is the strongest advocate for H1B visas in the entire Congress, having decided to serve corporations instead of her U.S.-citizen constituents, despite being the nominal “representative” of a Congressional district that likely has the highest proportion–if not the highest absolute numbers–of highly educated high-tech workers in the U.S.A.
What’s that? I need to provide links in a “Tips” comment, instead of just my own deeply felt rant? Sure, I can do that:

It isn’t going to work because the elite are already in control and tightening the noose. Any method of that type would just be used to make us more docile. Heck they are ALREADY using a similar method designed to wipe out any leaders that might arise in the next generation.
Somewhere I read ( Carroll Quigley?) that sometimes one of the elite would have an attack of conscience but it is only momentary and they move on. If you have ever dealt with them, they make Obama’s much touted ‘Racism’ look like love and brotherhood between blacks and whites. They literally do not see ‘The Great Unwashed’ as human only as pawns to be manipulated. The think of us as plantation owners thought of slaves 250 years ago.

Which is backfiring on the elite. As older folks are forced into early retirement they become more active in their churches and turn their energies to politics. Look at WUWT or the ‘Tea Party’
From a Democratic Think Tank, the Blair Center/ Winthrop Rockefeller Institute poll.
The label ‘Racial Views” is based on these poll questions.
Most of these answers have to do with Tea Party members views that the the federal government overstepping its Constitutional authority and have nothing to do with racisms. Not one question actually has anything to do with a person’s views on racism.
Prior to the mudslinging a better question would have been would you vote for
Herman Cain
Obama
Mitt Romney
So Cain had to be taken down to continue the fiction that the Tea Party/Republicans are Racist White Dudes.
This is why George Zimmerman was sacrificed on the alter of politics by Obama Democrats too. With luck the Zimmerman fiasco will back fire in the face of the Democrats as the Hispanics figure out the ‘Lets you and he fight’ mentality of the democrats. Also Hillary Clinton is slated to be our next president but I think the Benghazi fiasco will kill her bid especially as Congress drags the investigation out.
(I am not Tea party or Republican BTW, I am a GDI.)
BTW compare the Tea Party voters to the Democratic Voting Base:
That is why they need ‘Community Organizers’ to get out the vote to keep the welfare payments rolling and the Political Machine in office. /snark

Where (until earlier today) there used to be comments, I got a message that Java had to be enabled to see the comments, then when I enabled Java (muttering curses) I just got a message “Loading comments”, no actual comments. There seems to be more junk than usual down in the NoScript list, too. If this is the result of his “promotion” from WP I’m not impressed, means (presumably) I have to either allow unknown junk to load or stop commenting there. Hell, I’m writing this without even unblocking WordPress … as usual. ;-)
Anyone know what’s happened? EM – might your more privileged access to WP as a user find some detail?
A bit later, and it’s just like it was. Must’ve been a glitch in the Matrix.

I would have to agree with Pointman. After WUWT, JoNova, here and other skeptic sites, I can’t stand more than a few minutes reading the drivel (or is that drool) Most of it seems to be ad hominem. Say anything that is not part of the official party line and you get mobbed by the name callers. No intelligent discussion of the points just playground bullies attacking.
@punmaster Local Elites were substituted by THE elite, as planned by the “Sages of Zion”, using “land reform” and other procedures to attain it. Local land lords were replaced by butlers and maidens paid by an international level of higher butlers and maidens (through, for example, the “Club of Rome” and others) in direct contact with the actual rulers.

@Gail Combs: Things now are a little more complicated and “interesting” than that:
Gail Combs says (14 August 2013 at 4:15 pm)
Plowed Fields [Re: Experiments in Mobility and Anonymity]:
I do the plowed field bit because I have found it necessary to back up what I am trying to say with facts preferably from peer-reviewed papers or other ‘Authorities’ […]. I am also normally trying to [or] connecting a long series of dots. If I just provide a link, it doesn’t get read or if it does people do not see the nugget I found. BTDT and it flopped. It does make the communication a bit of a problem and my posts long.
It seems to me that there’s more functionality that ought to be able to be squeezed out of the Ted Nelson/Tim Berners-Lee hypertext model that dominates the World-Wide Web.
Some simple changes could be effective, like undoing the pervasive early conclusion that there was little-to-no value in classifying links; that conclusion deprived software of opportunities for useful organization and activity. It might be straightforward to have revitalized software smooth over the furrows in the field, or stow encountered links for some useful handling then or later. After 20 years, we’re still largely limited to “click on it”–or not.
Not that there would necessarily be any solutions to keeping visitors from stepping into the droppings of the yoked oxen. I suspect that there was once software marketed in the “brainstorming” category, overlooked & abandoned a decade or more ago, that might be worth revisiting. Useful concepts & features that’d been limited by the technology of their times might nowadays be much easier to implement in a modern browser.
But developing modest mechanisms to assisting our brains to overcome their shortcomings ain’t where hypertext is being pushed. Alas, it seems that the next big thing: HTML5, is being focused on making “content” require less brainpower to “consume” (i.e.: spend money to obtain, preferably without any of the rights of personal ownership).
Note *: Much of which might’ve unknowingly duplicated, or been consciously inspired by, Doug Englebart’s office-automation work, which predated mass-market personal computers. Uh, oh! Looks like I’ll need to provide some links, pronto.
There should’ve been ‘
blockquote‘ and ‘/blockquote‘enclosing Gail’s own words in my posting immediately above:
Thus the gut feeling I had, that I was overlooking something.
And my words “a decade or more ago” should’ve been followed by the footnote-marker “[*]”.
Dang WordPress’s lack of a ‘preview’ feature!
CompuGator, I am still stuck with quoting at least a paragraph or two from decent sources to show I am not making stuff up out of whole cloth.
@Gail Combs; all the needed tools are included in WordPress Blog tools. Set up your own blog. It’s free and not difficult. The GUI will let you see use of hypertext as well as “What you See is What you Get”
Handy for us old dogs. ;-) pg

(Oh, for a blog host with private messaging … it’d be done already. ;-)
P.G.Sharrow says: …..Set up your own blog.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Not interested.
First, There are already too many good blogs out there so why take traffic away from Chiefio or WUWT, Jo Nova or the others? Also a link to a blog, even if it is talking about a scientific paper does not have the ‘Clout’ the actual paper does although I do some times connect to http://theinconvenientskeptic.com/2012/04/norway-experiencing-greatest-glacial-activity-in-the-past-1000-year/ or http://motls.blogspot.com/2010/07/in-defense-of-milankovitch-by-gerard.html or here.
Second, people are lazy. They are much more likely to read a couple paragraphs than to read several pages of scientific Bafflegab.
Third we have a website for the business and that is enough presence on the internet. NSA Violated Privacy Rules 2,776 Times In One Year, that is once every 3 hours around the clock every day for a year. Call me a chicken but I rather not have the Big Boot find me and it does happen.
This URL no longer works but this is what happened to one person who got in the way of the US Bureaucracy.
This happened YEARS BEFORE 9/11 and the Patriot Act! Years before Obummer took office. ( I just looked and I can find reference to the article on May 26, 2009.)
Many years ago NAIS was my introduction to how sleazy our government really is. CAGW was my ‘second cause’ and between the two I started looking for the root of the ‘Evil’ and found the Fabians/Milner Round Tables/Bildebergers/Agenda 21….. In a word GREED for wealth and power. Quelle surprise!
The Brown Dwarf is already here:
A new cold front that is likely to create frost again over Brazil’s southern wheat crop was settling in over Parana on Wednesday, with temperatures likely to drop near freezing early Thursday morning. That could cause more losses to the crop.
The Arctic temperature has been below normal all summer too and has now dropped below freezing.

Can you say OH Sh!T.
Gail Combs says (17 August 2013 at 3:12 am):
It’s their winter!
Should it really be considered all that unthinkable that a state in Brazil whose southernmost point is at the latitude opposite to the northern border of Charlotte County (e.g.: Punta Gorda, Fla., or the center of Lake Okeechobee) could suffer a frost in their equivalent to February in the opposite hemisphere?
It’s that sort of event that’s responsible for my Orange County having lost its commercial citrus groves (unlike in the Yankee states, Florida’s county was not named after the House of Orange of the Netherlands).
Now if the wheat is planted near the northern border of Parana, which is near 22½°S., thus inside the Tropic of Capricorn, at a latitude more tropical than Havana (23°N., Cuba), perhaps that should be much more of a surprise. Except that the climate of Florida and the Caribbean islands is substantially moderated by the Gulf, Ocean, or Sea full of saltwater that surrounds them.
How much is winter weather in Parana moderated by southeasterly trade winds? Or by anything else, like topography?

No but it is a bit unusual especially since the story says the coffee crop is also lost and they are getting hit with ANOTHER frost that will cause more crop losses.

Heck we are seeing the third day in a row with temperatures in the 60sF in mid North Carolina in the middle of the day in the middle of AUGUST. It has barely reached a high of 70F and yesterday it didn’t even get out of the 60s!

Would you be willing to disclose the name of your county, so I might correlate it to your state’s topography & climatic regions?

“Forced Exposure ~pj
Tuesday, August 20 2013 @ 02:40 AM EDT
The owner of Lavabit tells us that he’s stopped using email and if we knew what he knew, we’d stop too.
There is no way to do Groklaw without email. Therein lies the conundrum.
What to do?
What to do? I’ve spent the last couple of weeks trying to figure it out. And the conclusion I’ve reached is that there is no way to continue doing Groklaw, not long term, which is incredibly sad. But it’s good to be realistic. And the simple truth is, no matter how good the motives might be for collecting and screening everything we say to one another, and no matter how “clean” we all are ourselves from the standpoint of the screeners, I don’t know how to function in such an atmosphere. I don’t know how to do Groklaw like this.”
…
” If you have to stay on the Internet, my research indicates that the short term safety from surveillance, to the degree that is even possible, is to use a service like Kolab for email, which is located in Switzerland, and hence is under different laws than the US, laws which attempt to afford more privacy to citizens. I have now gotten for myself an email there, p.jones at mykolab.com in case anyone wishes to contact me over something really important and feels squeamish about writing to an email address on a server in the US. But both emails still work. It’s your choice.
My personal decision is to get off of the Internet to the degree it’s possible. I’m just an ordinary person. But I really know, after all my research and some serious thinking things through, that I can’t stay online personally without losing my humanness, now that I know that ensuring privacy online is impossible. I find myself unable to write. I’ve always been a private person. That’s why I never wanted to be a celebrity and why I fought hard to maintain both my privacy and yours.
Oddly, if everyone did that, leap off the Internet, the world’s economy would collapse, I suppose. I can’t really hope for that. But for me, the Internet is over.
So this is the last Groklaw article. I won’t turn on comments. Thank you for all you’ve done. I will never forget you and our work together. I hope you’ll remember me too. I’m sorry I can’t overcome these feelings, but I yam what I yam, and I tried, but I can’t.

Just read this article about people 6000 years ago used spices. The researches were surprised, thinking people only ate for calories. Why on earth would they think that? Has the tongue changed? No…its just the typical thought that ancients were extremely dull hyper religious primates. I don’t know why this specific article chapped my hide more than others…

@Ralph B – I really can’t see why the researchers were surprised. Surely the traditional explanation of the use of spices is that they help to mask the taste of borderline-“off” food, which you’d have thought would be a more common problem in those long-gone, non-refrigerator-using times than it is now.
Of course, when unreliable “green” energy sources start crashing the public electricity supply and ruining the food in our fridges … :-(

This is slowly but surely becoming a hot topic since our food is under the subject of completely insane international legislation. How insane? The muppets of the UN a.o. is in a process of declaring our foods a toxin, like they did with CO2.
Now the Globalist are on the war path again and it is only thanks to opposition of the UK Parliament and a massive lobby from the Russian diplomat Lavrov who has exchanged some very hard words about the lack of proof of the Assad government being responsible for the use of chemical warfare last week.
Both Putin and hus current vice President Medvedev have drawn a line in the sand to prevent the repeat of the Libya attack by the “willing” that resulted in the murder on Gadaffi and indirectly in the Benghazi attack. Both have claimed they are prepared to go all the way on Syria and Iran if attacked by the US, Israel, France and the UK and with “all the way” they mean the use of nuke’s.
Last july the Russians together with the Chinese executed the biggest military exercise since the former USSR.
I am convinced that our political establishment seriously underestimate the current Russian and Chinese capabilities. Russia since the collapse has worked very hard on it’s war industry and today they are the second arms exporter in the world.
They have developed hypersonic missile systems with the capacity to sink aircraft carriers and despite the Salt Agreements they still have more nuclear war heads that the USA, the UK, France and Israel put together.
Also worth mentioning is a shoulder fired anti aircraft missile with a warhead that homes in on the exhaust of a plane or helicopter without being affected by any jamming techniques including chaff. This is because the electronics have a memory chip that carries the signature of the exhaust signal. This makes all our aircraft vulnerable, including Air Force One.
Also worth mentioning is that their industry doesn’t rely of foreign supplies of resources or the import of electronic components from China, Taiwan or Korea which today is the case with the US defense industry.
Europe in case of an escalating conflict in the Middle is a sitting duck and because the political establishment has reduced it’s defenses to levels unseen since the end of the cold war Russia could regard Europe as an easy target.
Obama’s foreign policy is a disaster and I have lost all trust in his capabilities. The same goes for Hollande, Cameron and the EU apparatchiks. Fortunately the Russian diplomats know this.
I personally think the EU is a postponed punishment from the former USSR and I also think Putin has ambitions that are in opposition with the Globalists.
The same goes for the Chinese.
While Europe believes Russia is no longer a threat I think they are making a huge mistake.
What we see today is a war against our own populations and our civilization by our own governments and the UN.
Just like Snowdon found a new home in Russia, despite great pressure from Obama, it could very well be that one day the Russians could come in to liberate the Europeans from the fascists that now run the EU.
I never ever thought I would write something like this but the realization that the West is currently ruled by thugs and criminals who openly undermine our great civilization, without any serious opposition, makes me wonder what will happen if the big economic crash arrives.
We will be subject to a huge state suppression system, not only in Europe but also in the EU.
All the regulations and all the precautionary measures, currently introduced, from drones to full fledged data collection and heavily armored police units, have been taken by the establishment to control our population allowing them to remain in power.
Just the idea we have the Russians resisting the Western establishment and their globalist agenda at least provides some comfort.
Anyhow I won’t wait for the crash. Any location with nice weather and nice people is fine as long as it’s far away for any of the G8 nations and the EU.
Preferably a country that is committed tot it’s autonomy because:
Every Nation has the right to Independence.

Right, Potus and his administration is behaving like an Adolf, time to go.
So, you buy this home for 350k in New Jersey. Next the property is raised by 60% and your property is re-valued over a million USD. As a result, your annual property taxes went up to 35k, nobody will buy your house and in the end you loose the place. Now that’s real freedom. http://www.my9nj.com/story/23288092/new-jersey-property-tax-problems
For that of money you can live on a boat like this, a nice trimaran, and sail wherever you want to go. Now that’s freedom.
http://www.neel-trimarans.com/en/nos-trimarans/neel-45/
Small typo, “the property tax is raised by 60%”.
Just some thoughts about the trimaran, the NEEL 45 I posted earlier.
These are good times to become a perpetual traveller. Now what’s a better way to be a perpetual traveler sailing the paradises of this world far away from the crazy world that is becoming crazier by the day?
I love sailing but I hate the bunks you find in most mono hauls, I hate to crawl to get in you bunk and I hate to share your bed with half your luggage, the safety gear and the spare sails.
But I also love speed.
The Neel 45 is a total new and i.m.o revolutionary sailing concept.
It’s a trimaran able to cruise comfortably over 10 knots, covering a distance of 200 nautical miles in 24 hours under low wind conditions, but it flies with double the speed when you get a good tailwind. Because it’s a trimaran it is very stable under any conditions but this ship design is unsinkable and that’s a great asset. What makes this trimaran revolutionary is that the designer used the entire trimaran configuration as a platform. He designed a ufo shaped construction that contains the bridge, the kitchen, a great saloon with panorama view, three big bed roams an two bathrooms all on the same level with big access doors and lot’s of luggage space. No crawling, just a huge comfortable living space. Because trimarans have an extremely low drag you can do with a small diesel engine with low fuel consumption. The engine, the fuel tanks, the freshwater tanks, the grey water tank and the entire electric systems, the battery bank, the wiring all have been stashed under the flat floor, easy to access and with a lot of space to perform maintenance. The catamaran is rigged like the high performance trimarans you find participating the ocean races and you can sail this ship single handedly with no problems. The charter version of the Neel 45 that has been in use for testing this summer only has a captain an a cook aboard and an average of 8-10 guests.
So the Neel is not only a great place to live but you can also make money with it so you can maintain your household book with a positive balance. Thanks to the internet and a mature charter market that according to the latest economic reports, is on a path of growth, you can easily rent out two rooms to people who want to join you on your trip, see:
http://www.yachtsys.com/Infographic-What-you-should-know-about-bareboat-yacht-charters.html and http://features.yachtworldcharters.com/2013/04/bareboat-chartering-outlook-hot-catamarans-and-exotic-destinations/
From the boat charter blogs I know that depending on the season people are willing to pay between 2.500 and 3.500 usd per week for bunks with the high level aboard the Neel 45. The level of comfort is equal to a standard you only find in charter yachts that cost over 1.5 million usd.
The Neel however is avallable for 450.000 usd. If you can afford a down payment, you can mortgage such a ship just like a home and with 5000 to 7.000 usd rent a week for the two spare bunks you will be able to pay off the mortgage in a very short period of time.
Another interesting property of a catamaran is that you can beach it during low tide and sail away when the tide rises. This allows you to visit islands and sail shallow waters.
This Neel 45 is a real adventure machine at a relative low price and I will go to have a look at this boat next month in Cannes (France) where the manufacturer is present at a boat show.
Making a sailing boat like the Neel your home makes you completely independent in a very flexible way.
And that’s a kind of freedom that is most appealing to me.

What you are seeing has been well explained in 1911 by Robert Michels (The Iron Law of Oligarchy) several years before the “October Revolution”:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Michels
Over time all governments become oligarchies. The inverse process (towards pluralism) is a rare phenomenon. When oligarchies are destroyed they are usually replaced by even worse oligarchies as you can easily see by studying the last 100 years in Latin America or the Middle East.
You are extremely fortunate that the “Founding Fathers” established a pluralistic form of government that has survived for more than 200 years. Will it continue to the end of the 22nd century? Probably not but enjoy it as long as it lasts.
To understand why nations behave like lemmings, I recommend “Why Nations Fail” by Acemoglu & Robinson.
To understand what to do when your home nation fails, please read “The Sovereign Individual” by Rees-Mogg & Davidson. Even though most nations fail there will always be a few that don’t.
Rees-Mogg and Davidson explain that when there is something seriously wrong with a jurisdiction (e.g. the USA) people vote with their feet. They leave the jurisdiction. That is why the population of jurisdictions such as Kalifornia and Michigan (especially Detroit) are in decline.
You hear more and more anti-American propaganda. Yet in spite of a few blighted states such as those mentioned above, our population continues to explode without much help from the fertility of native Americans. People do “Vote With Their Feet” so we have over 11 million illegal immigrants and counting. This country is in decline, yet I know a physician who left Prague to drive a taxi in the USA. His daughter married one of my sons so I have grandaughter who is 50% Czech (beyond cute).

Adolfo, the quakes mentioned in the Netherlands and Poland are both claimed to be related to gas exploration activity, not by opposition groups but by the companies taking out the gas and the Dutch and Polish Geological Services.
Because of the gas exploration we see a slow sinking of the area end this process triggers this relative mild quakes. This is all (objectively) confirmed by TNO.
The quake problem is not new and the commercial partners involved have created a fund to compensate home owners for the quake damages to their properties.
So let’s postpone the beginning of the end. Quakes have been with us as long as the planet exists. We can very well live with it as we have done for thousands of years.
Besides that, quakes make up an essential part of the process (abiotic) providing with huge amounts of oil and gas thus creating the very basis of our modern society. As long as we have rocks and quakes we will have energy.

That’s great LG, if you are trying to spread chemtrail anti-fossil fuel manic material by the haarpy all over the internet.
Chiefio, my theory is that is Jean Manning, featuring haarp, chemtrails, anti-fossil fuel, anti-agriculture fear mongering to an adoring youtube cyberghetto. Please come back.
WUWT policy says, “Certain topics are not welcome here and comments concerning them will be deleted. This includes topics on…astrology, aliens, bigfoot, chemtrails, 911 Truthers, Obama’s Birth Certificate, HAARP, UFO’s, Electric Universe, mysticism, and other topics not directly related to the thread.”
Why do you think that is. Because the Electric Universe is totally beholden to the Haarpy on Youtube for their web traffic. I have been cussed at, moderated, snipped, and banned by this intolerant, rude, aggressive base many times. “Alternative science” turns out to be equally brutal enforcers of their paradigm and underlying ideologies as mainstream science.
I have concluded that there are no scientists; only men who are madly in love with their own hypothesis, who on occasion turn out to be correct. Then, much like rock stars or Hollywood actors, they become experts on every other subject under the sun.
I do recommend the Electric Sky, and the website of Donald Scott, for anyone interested in the actual science of the electric sun.

Thanks for the comment and the links. I really think the American people should fight for their Constitution although it will bring them in head on confrontation with the current administration and the ruling elites. If current developments in Europe (and the UN) continue, freedom wise we have to start from scratch.
Zeke and LG, thanks for the links. I will read “Electric Sky” and take a deep dip into the links provided. Appreciate the insight how the scientific community has become the prototype of “consensus” and to see they practice very unscientific means and measures as we see in the defense of the climate consensus. I think “consensus” already proofs to be a dead end street and if we manage to regain our freedoms again (on every level of human society) I see a new dawn for real science and, as it looks now, the end of the AGW and the big bang theory.
The heavily funded and powerfully backed “consensus” science is loosing ground to the unfunded and despised Blogsphere. Real science is being discussed and pursued in spite of the efforts of the controlling Elites. Even collegiate brainwashing is beginning to fail as students question the grasp of the facts by their professors. The Internet is a powerful tool for examining all of the knowledge and opinion available.
Knowledge is a powerful tool no longer under the control of the Elites. We no longer need them!
When I was young, (1950s) a teacher remarked to me that, students should be taught, reading, writing, mathematics and how to use a library. After that just turn them lose to learn as they will. He taught me the library catalog system and wow! Who needed school! just let me get into a good library.
The Internet is just one huge library with a vast bulletin board that connects me to all of the interesting people of the world, WOW!!!.
Another teacher of that time, told me that, I would have to buy into the Liberal Progressive mantra or I would not be permitted to advance in the intellectual realm. Their controlling grasp of knowledge is failing. We no longer need them.

As you posted earlier, it is such a beautiful world and time to be alive, to fly gliders or look at a problem in a completely new way, for example, but so much prefrontal energy and focus is consumed with what the ruthless Eris-tocrats are doing to strip us of energy, property, free speech and religion, etc..

Love the presentation of this teacher Evan Camp. a real breath of fresh air: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bf6Ofw-Ckb8
Like a hammer or a gun, the computer is just a tool. For good or ill, the user is the key. Modern computer technology is the greatest creation of modern civilization. And in fact requires a very large and advanced industrial base to create and maintain it. Freedom requires vigilance with “sword” in hand to maintain it.
Before the creation of the World Wide Web, I told those that feared the lose of freedom to put down their guns and pick up their computers and communicate. The computer – internet is the greatest “sword” tool ever created. Information and communication, The Elites can no longer hide their machinations from the “masses” in their quest for control. We don’t need them any longer. The World Wide Web is the key to real Freedom for all of mankind.
My brain allows me to envision and create wondrous things but it has one set of flaws. Communication in words is difficult. So I was trained to dig ditches and build things. The computer – word-processor and the internet allows me to communicate my thoughts with thinking people all over the world. A great gift to one that was told in grade school, that my intelligence was wasted, because I could not convert it into written words that could be communicated to others. Use this tool! Piss off Liberal – Progressives with facts and opinions that counter their own bent ones. We must not allow them to destroy this civilization as they have done to all others. We know the things that have always worked well in human society, they dream of things that have never worked out well and always result in society collapse. pg

Fear not my friend, as they are losing the argument, they try more desperately to exert total control. The credibility of the the professional elite is sliding fast in the minds of the citizens. Your successes are making lies of the creed of Professional Competence. Every thinking person knows that the output of the professional education system has deteriorated as the Elites control has increased. Now citizens are standing up and demanding real improvement from people that have proved they can not deliver. Independents like you,once again, have proved that the old ways of getting results in education always works and at a lot less cost. Union bosses, bureaucrats and professional administrators are just parasites that contribute confusion and wasted efforts for poorer results. pg

P.G. the reason Art Robinson does not allow the use of computers/calculators during “School hours” is to make sure his kids got a solid grounding in mathematics instead of using the computer as a crutch. Learning to use a library instead of a computer is also a necessary tool. There is a lot of information available in libraries in hard copy that is NOT available on the net. Kids need to learn that and to learn how to look for information that is in hard copy.

I think that people are waking-up faster than the elite realize and much of it is thanks to the internet. Now we realize we are not the odd man out. That there are others who see what we see and moreover we now see we are being manipulated by the propaganda in the MSM.
This comment gives me hope that a lot of people are starting to smell a rat.
Refreshing to see someone else sees the manipulation and is not caught in the RAH RAH go team crap the Democrats and Republicans keep trying to spin.
Inre: reading, education
When we cover a subject, I try to use at least 3 sources (from books) so that the kids can see the differences in the way the subject is analyzed and presented. This has been the way I hope they will develop critical thinking.
@crosspatch, thank you for the post about Golden Rice. This is a case of criminalizing good scientists who have done everything they can to develop a crop that is rich in micronutrients and would do much to help children who go blind from deficiencies in their diets during the developing years.
It is also an example of radical greens who have always fought agricultural developments that would feed more people, ESP in AFRICA, and destroy their Malthusian Overpopulation Paradigm.
The greens have been the useful idiots who now see their precious forests cut down to make place for palm oil farms and wood chips to fuel coal power plants.
We now see the run up to WW3 and the establishment of Agenda 21 currently signed by 186 countries. Rice just threatened Iran and North Korea. In may we have seen Obama talk about his FEMA CAMPS and the detainment of Americans without a trial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZq7uEjwfAQ#t=19
What we see here is the accumulation of all the madness produced by the Bohemian Grove meetings, the cradle of all US Presidents and Agenda 21 = population regulation
The planned attack on Syria is only the excuse to enter a full blown war against Iran but possibly also North Korea, Russia and China. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qB7kZW2Y-qI
Expect the US to become a slaughterhouse as any opposition will encountered by brute force.
Madness rules.
Unless you get rid of the hacks.
Not in the news: Massive mobilization of the Turkish army at the Syrian border:
Britisch Tornado’s intercept Syrian Migs over Cyprus air space:
A declared war situation will allow Obama to declare the “state of emergency” in the US:
And here we have a fresh speech of Rice telling us that we have to carpet bomb Syria to send a message to Iran and North Korea: http://www.reuters.com/article/video/idUSBRE9880UX20130909?videoId=271344687
I’m fed up with the lot. This is going the wrong way. 80% of the US population is against a military intervention and they simply ignore everything.
Now Kerry has made a huge mistake by offering the Syrians an escape if they hand over their chemical weapons. The Russians have jumped on the occasion by offering the Syrians a solution and they agreed. Now Kerry stay’s empty handed.
Despite this tactical blunder they will still continue their quest. It’s not about Syria but about the Agenda.

I really hope the Obama Administration is going to back off and refrain from further escalation of violence.
This madness has to be stopped.
I also hope the American people will find a way to remove Obama and his crazy clan from office and clean house. The foreign- and national policies of this administration over the past year has become an utter embarrassment and clearly show Obama is not fit for the job.
The prophesies for “The Great Deceiver” are that in the later days of his 7 years on the world stage, he will lose popular support and attempt to rule by decree. He will be turned out and vanish from the world stage.
WWIII, that has been going on for some time, will be ended when “The brothers of the North unite and force an end to the Muslim threat to world peace.” Both sides will realize that the people of the Oreant ( Muslim Caliphate) are no ones friend.
It appears to me that both of these are coming to pass soon.
Also soon, the philosophy of “Moore” (Thomas Moore, progressive liberalism) will be so discredited as to permanently fall from favor.
Now! I wonder just who is the “Wise Old Man” that will appear and set the human race on the new path. pg
P.G, I think we’re running out of time. The entire economy is locked down by Obama Care, out of control debt and blatant corruption on any level. The war plans for Syria and Iran are real. The US and France are already presenting impossible time frames and additional requirements that will rail road the Russian/UN proposal. In the mean time they continue their quest for support for a military strike.
The Russians (and he Chinese) are not going to stand by and watch. Not this time. Obama has entered a faze where he has nothing to loose and we know which Agenda he supports.
This is the same insane agenda that is supported by the EU which also arrived at the brink of economic collapse. As I see it their entire policy over the past years has been one of self destruction and this is what we should worry about the most.
This is a book without a happy end.

More happenings down our way
http://joannenova.com.au/2013/09/coalition-starts-axing-australias-carbon-bureaucrat-machinery/
@R. de Haan; ” It appears darkest just before the dawn”.
The Russian proposal may be the start of the new way of thinking. The Russians have been at war with the Muslim for a thousand years and it is an internal problem for them, no small thing. Saving Assad is preferable to allowing Jehadies victory. Political evolution is preferable to revolution. Prophecies talk of the West, wrong minded helping the Muslims in their push to subject the world to their madness of Jehad war against “others”. It is time for the Christian West ( this includes Russia) to “wise up”.
“The Brothers of the North Unite to end the reign of the Warlords” Jehadies make war on Everyone not like them. We must allow them to make war on one another until they tire of the blood. Only this, will permit the re-creation of Mohammadism to it’s peaceful roots. “The 12th Imam walks with Jesus.” as did Mohammad. The war between Shia and Sunni must be allowed to run it’s course before peace can win.
Those that follow the visions of “Moore” must discredit themselves in the eyes of most of the population. After 200 years of brainwashing students, the argument is going flat, people are wising up to the lie. The general population realizes they have been conned. Only the politicians are still in on the game and now even they are starting to smell the rot. Our argument is winning, it just not very visible yet.
“The Watermelons and the Strawberries are past their prime and starting to Rot”.
The Progressive-Liberials think they have won control. They have won the ability to prove their failure of ability. They are dreamers, not doers. This time they have brainwashed their people to fear weapons so they have no built in ability for enforcement through fear. Real Americans are still armed and dangerous, so Progressive-Liberals fear them even more then they fear real Terrorists. Just listen to the Main Stream Talking Heads:”Tea Party” and “Christians” ( both very peaceful ) Are the Most Dangerous People in the World! They know that they are losing the argument and their grasp on power.
The Internet has bypassed the MSM control of information and communication by the Liberial-Progressive Elites. People are beginning to realize they have been lied to. They are MAD at the lie-ers and will not be redirected by more lies. The constant attempts to redirect by the MSM is no longer working. GOD works in strange ways but wins in the end. Have faith in the outcome and keep pushing the message. We are winning the argument. 8-) pg
PG, I look at the treaties, the binding treaties. As long as these ass holes are in power executing their agenda’s they are breaking down our civilization. One of the Agenda 21 chapters allows foreign troops on our soil. Just remember what happened with former Rhodesia, Zimbabwe one of Africa;s bread baskets. It only took Mugabe 7 years to completely destroy the economy and the agricultural output simply by confiscating farms and murdering farmers. If there was any country that required a foreign military intervention it was Zimbabwe but the West and South Africa did nothing. Why? Because Zimbabwe was a UN experiment. Nothing more, nothing less.
Winning the argument today is not the same as regaining control.
I don’t share your optimism simply because the we’re at the brink of financial and economic collapse and the Federal Government has developed a suppression apparatus similar to the forces operating in Iraq and Afghanistan.
They are prepared to remain in power even if we sink into chaos and I don’t see any way out soon. To be honest I think matters will become much worse. Much, much worse.
As for Syria, the French and the USA will try to make Russia sign up to a UN treaty and eliminate them as a “blocking party” in the UN Security Council. That’s why Kerry is going to Russia on Thursday. Of course the Russians will come up with a Syria solution but they will refrain from any commitments themselves. Putin has send the Russian fleet to Syria and continues to send in more ships: http://rt.com/news/russia-moskva-cruiser-mediterranean-720/ Putin continues to deliver arms to the Assad regime and Iran. Obama unfortunately is the wrong President at the wrong moment. The Russians are not going to back off.

Peace man, peace.
Only the fact that Putin is now in Iran talking strategy and arms while Kerry has to deal with Lavrov tomorrow tells me the Russians are dealing the sheets.
We have a trigger happy French idiot who’s economy is on the brink of collapse shaping the EU policy towards Syria and we absolutely lack a professional in the White House.
IMO a potentially deadly mix under the current circumstances.

The wise old man labors in obscurity until his time on the world stage. The ObamaNation must thoroughly discredit Itself first and be turned out.
Now the Russian, Putin has his turn at bat. Sometimes good things come from selfish intents. “GOD works in strange ways” I am willing to allow him a chance. Russia must wake up to Its danger from the Jehadies. Also there is a prophecy about the Head Oligarch being killed by a Muslim group that are quite proud of their accomplishment. Unknown to them, it is a great lose to them. The Oligarch is their greatest enabler. I don’t know if Putin is the “Head Oligarch”. we will see soon! pg
We are one “organic only” stunt away from food shortages.
Be careful of grand progressive experiments to remake agriculture. If any of this is accompanied by force of government to outlaw pesticides, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers, you will know that it is another scheme to disrupt agriculture, in exactly the same manner that “renewables” are used to destabilize and disrupt energy.
Also, notice that many of the ag stories come from Chinese scientists, who are signing five year plans with both the European Union and the USDA. Why sign five-year plans with Maoists who do not acknowledge or allow discussion of the destruction of agriculture, and the subsequent starvation, in China during the Great Leap?
Notice that alternative agriculture movements claim to be able to replace chemical fertilizers (Nitrogen, oh horrors!) with natural fertilizers, and yet the self-same heartless environmentalists are passing outrageous regulations and taxes against dairy and beef cattle, which would be the best source of soil building fertilzers.
Look very carefully at these “organic only” puritans, because the scary water shortage models also allow restriction of water use and cause rising prices for growers and homeowners. The water sustainability movement goes hand in hand with the new agricultural sustainability schemes, pushed by NGOs and rich “nonprofits” on local economies.
Some of the destructive results of the movement to inflict personal organic dietary laws on the rest of society is the use of human waste as fertilizers, as has happened in Mexico. There is not enough non-chemical fertilizers to renew the soil. Laws should be passed against the use of human waste for fertilzers. This is the worst kind of pollution, because it spreads malaria and disease, and Progressive activists are silent about this disgusting practice.
The maths for this kind of organic only propaganda falls hopelessly short. The needs of the dwarf, quick-growing varieties of wheat pioneered by Norman Borlaug are intense. And the arguments against nitrogen and phosphorous are not settled science for every one. Progressive paradigms in agriculture are to be looked at with stricter scrutiny, because of the recent, shameful use of science during the 1900’s to destroy agronomy in Russia and China.
Under every progressive scientist is the need to affirm the Malthusian Overpopulation Paradigm. Even if they have to fulfill their own sweeping scientific prophecies through heartless agricultural activism.

A very interesting post at Tallbloke’s regarding the relative rotational rates of the various planets in our Solar System. Seems that a bunch of pairs of planets have rotational rates that sum up to Fibonacci numbers.
