What the public has to understand is that the planet is in peril ....

and certainly our ability to survive on the planet --

And this has nothing to do with 50 or 30 or 20 years from now --

And, no -- neither Kyoto or new light bulbs is going to help this --


The first thing that has to be understood is that we had a 50 year delay in our

feeling the effects of Global Warming -- this gave the oil industry the opportunity

to spend tens of billions of dollars on a campaign of lies to confuse and fool the

public about Global Warming.

Currently, we are now only experiencing the effects of the burning of fossil fuels

up to about 1960. THINK ABOUT THAT --



Global Warming is about HEATING up the atmosphere which brings chaotic weather --

droughts/floods, storms, hurricanes, cyclones, tornados -- and earthquakes.

Earthquakes in turn generate more volcanic activity.


The melting of the glaciers, the removal of pressure on the tectonic plates and the

new water weight on other technoic plates is increasing the number of earthquakes

and the severity of earthquakes.

Global Warming has the power to change weather systems -- and it is happening.


We have known about Global Warming for more than 50 years -- in fact, scientists saw

more than 100 years ago the negative effects of the industrial revolution on nature.


We have long known that we have to stop burning fossil fuels --

The only way that can be done is to NATIONALIZE OIL and our natural resources which

should have been done decades ago -- no private company should have control of over our

natural resources.

Additionally, the MIC uses 80% of our oil -- which makes oil a national security issue.

So behind "Drill now - think later!" is the MIC -- and that might make a bit clearer

just why Obama was so protective of BP during the Gulf disaster.

No oil/no war --


It is impossible to say how all of this will compound and how rapidly Global Warming will

move now -- our scientists watching have been repeated in shock at the speed.


But, certainly, unless we are unable to hear and have lost all our common sense we must begin

to convert every car to electric -- solar batteries are available --- much new technology

has been suppressed. The government can subsidize the manufacture of electric cars --

it can subsidize the purchase prices -- but most of all we have to stop burning fossil fuels!


Meanwhile, also notice the news from Australia last week that their own Global Warming scientists

are under threat of their lives. Not difficult to think that the same thing has been happening

in America and everywhere -- as scientific information is suppressed and oil industry propaganda

is pushed.

For those who have never seen it before, here is the 1992 Wrold Scientists Warning to Humanity -- *


Dollar bills are meaningless -- always have been - but most especially when this much reality

hits us -- we need a complete culture change.

We are all threatened by capitalism because we are all labor.

Those who have gained control of our people's government think only in fascist terms.


Global Warming is becoming more severe now -- it should be a topic of conversation for every

American - every day --
