Global Warming or Climate Change

Many people in many countries feel unsafe and unsure about the future. They are scared of the Radical Islamic misfits of the world. They are worried about Global Warming, pollution, Hurricanes, Earthquakes and live in fear. There are groups who are in fear who are angry and have fallen for the mass media hysteria, radical religious answers and could fall prey to the rioting and looting of other society misfits and sub humans. Those who love the sea and were born near the ocean are concerned with rising sea levels and Global Warming. Why? Because the media tells them to, because academia is training them to think this way; then they go out in the world and preach what they teach.

These groups blame Presidents, Oil Industry Interests and others, yet refuse to look in their own mirrors as they join in and pick sides in the sound and fury which has plagued mankind’s forward advancement over and over again. What can we do about this problem of the blame game and power grabs thru inciting the masses? I have read some cool Ben Bova books, he is a Sci Fi writer and talks about the Super Storms which will come. Yet we all know that we live on the surface of the planet, we are bombarded with Solar Flares, then we have cycles and now you top that off with Climate Changes and it is a big deal, so in some regards the Global Warming Alarmists are right, but the part they have wrong is that it is all mankind’s fault. I mean what happens when you turn up the heat on water inside a pot with the lid on it, essentially that is all Earth is really. The water vapor goes wild, or in our case the weather. Simple really. This means lightning storms, many fierce for instance all the fires in Europe, China and the United States started by lightning and the drought dried brush?

It wouldn’t take a weather geek, which is an interesting term to see that. Remember the things the ancients use to study; Earth, Wind and Fire, water, stuff like this. It is all part of the weather. All nations and economies live and die by the weather, exports, crops, water supplies for civilization, you know? It effects everything and in not a small way either. As we go thru this weather cycle, the solar flares and Earth’s cycles of volcanoes and Earthquakes we must work together on this.

In fact in the mini-ice age, they had years which were called the dark ages, plagues, all sorts of stuff, also partly due to climate changes, although those were little compared to where this current trend could be taking us. No matter what happens we will do better if we stick together. Let’s all think about these things before picking sides and dividing ourselves, we only hurt our future when we do that and now is a time to work with each other not against. Think on this.

Economics 101 Triangle Trade

Do you remember Triangle Trade? Well I had never heard of it but it sounded like a good idea to me. That is, all except the slaves.

Here’s how it worked. Sugar and molasses were produced in the West Indies. Rum was produced in New England. Rum was drunk by the West Africans.

Got it?

Well, there were the poor slaves.

So here we go around the triangle: Slaves produced sugar and molasses which was shipped to New England. Rum was then shipped to West Africa. Finally, slaves were shipped to the West Indies.

After the slaves were “broken in” producing sugar and molasses, they were auctioned off to the Southern Colonies of the United States.

That was not exactly part of the triangle. Sort of a profitable sideline.

Everyone was very happy with Triangle Trade.

Except the poor slaves who were torn from their homes, put on slave ships, whipped into submission in the West Indies, and finally shipped to the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.

I used an in-house reference for the above which I distorted and it doesn’t explain everything, like whom were the culprits involved in the slave trade? I looked on the net and it was better explained at http://africanhistory.about.com/library/weekly/aa080601a.htm.

The number of slaves transported from 1550 until 1900 was 10,240,200.

Here was the excuse: Europeans were too weakly to work amid tropical diseases and hot sun on plantations or to work in mines above or underground. Africans could not only jump higher when whipped, they could outlive the whippers.

Switching to the East Indies

I put the heading in bold so that you would know I was switching from the West Indies to the East Indies. Let’s see if we can find a Trade Triangle there.

You’ve heard of the British East India Company, right? They had a nice opium trade going, shipping opium from India to China and opium, tea, and other Oriental goodies to England and wherever else British ships sailed. British ships also carried British goods and equipment back to India and China.

That sounds like a triangle to me.

The British fought a war with the Chinese who were tired of their people getting debilitated by Indian opium. The British won the war and finally took Hong Kong and other places for good measure.

They required that India only sell opium to them.

That was a nasty monopoly.

Read about the history of opium at http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/heroin/etc/history.html.

What was in common with these two triangles, the slave trade and the opium trade?

Why it was that Great British was the major player.

They must be so proud of their history.

UAV Leaflet Drops

So often in wartime a non-legitimate and evil regime, which abuses human rights and plots the destruction of mankind will rise up to power. In doing so they become a risk to the sanctity of human life and the peaceful civilizations of mankind. It is at this point that generally they will dominate their customized political rhetoric to their people and incite them to join with them in a common cause to attack the evil enemy.

Generally that evil enemy or the first world human civilizations such at the United States which have been falsely accused of being able by the evil regime will have to figure a way to get a message to the citizens of the actual evil regime which is calling them to war. Yet this is difficult as the real evil regimes have censored their news and even gone so far as to use microwave scrambling to prevent satellite TV from the world and disallowed freedom of the press and radio stations, which have not been approved.

It is at a time like this that we need to use our best technologies to alert the people of these nations of what is going to come next. Hoping that they themselves may rise up and take out the evil regime, rather than joining in that cause to wage unnecessary war and be slaughtered like beer cans being run over by 18-wheelers.

I therefore propose the use of UAV or Unmanned Aerial Vehicles to drop leaflets on all the major cities of any nation, which is threatening the world and inciting their people to war. Consider this in 2006.

Hurricane Vince is Vindictive and Viciously Violates Victims

Vince the twentieth named storm of the 2005 Hurricane season, as predicted has turned into a Hurricane. Vince is not a nice man, he is a killer Hurricane, looking for opportunity to kill. Hurricane Vince like his sisters Katrina and Rita wants revenge; he is a vindictive and viciously violent killer with a voracious appetite for warm water and more victims.

There is no telling where Vince will find victims only that he has violated our landmasses in the Caribbean. Vince could prove to be a very large storm, even this late in the season. The waters are still warm in the Gulf and there are high-pressure areas and low-pressure areas rolling across the continent, which will interact with his progress. Some of this airflow helping the potential eventuality of his landfall and other scenarios and computer modeling showing a rapid disintegration to his powers. But make no mistake if and when Vince gets into the Gulf Coast he will do what is necessary to victimize more humans.

We can only wait and see what Vince will do next. He moved quite quickly from a tropical depression to a tropical storm to a Hurricane, which shows that the 2005 Hurricane Season is hardly over with and we are not even close to being secure on our Coasts, as long as Vince is around. Think about it.
