I don’t know how many folks spotted the article in The Independent on the 25th of January saying, among other things, “A study, which is being taken seriously by top government scientists, has uncovered a change “of remarkable amplitude” in the circulation of the waters of the North Atlantic.” The report goes on to say that Britain will see a new Ice Age within our lifetimes. Alarm bells have started ringing in corridors of power although the mass media hasn’t explained what this all means to the public.
So what’s the fuss about some North Atlantic current that is scaring scientists? First let me quote from the PR from an apocalyptic book written some years back. “Global warming is about to cause the North Atlantic Current to drop to a more southerly route, causing cold Arctic air to barrel into overheated temperate zones (causing) sudden, dramatic changes in climate all over the world.” Take a look at the ad for the book which predicted this: The coming global super storm.
And read the newspaper article Global warming will plunge Britain into an
Ice Age within decades.
Now read The Pentagon’s weather nightmare, and pause by the New York Times article Global chilling.
As we wave goodbye to Britain as it disappears beneath half a mile of permafrost, let’s look at something far more cheerful. Take one decomposing 50 tonne dead whale, add a stupid authoritarian desire to cart it through urban streets en route to disposal, and you have the mother of all bad Sushi moments as 50 Tonne Sperm Whale Explodes.
Alternatively, and it may seem like a joke at first, did you know that Churchill had a parrot? Well, it’s still alive, still swearing and, at 104, is considered to be the UK’s oldest bird (now that the Queen Mum has finally died). Go read the short but joyful article F*** the Nazis, says Churchill’s parrot.
Mars stuff. Yes I know you’re sick of Mars by now, but hey, at least it’s not Uranus. (Cue endless generations of schoolboys sniggering and the shouts of angry science teachers). As regular readers will recall, I’ve been whining on about the real colours of Mars for a while now. Finally, the scale of the scientific fraud which has been poured on us by Nasa has started to seep into the mainstream media. Read this item from The Telegraph: Nasa accused of ‘painting Mars photo’s red’.
Then, I don’t recall ever seeing pictures showing a blue landscape on Mars before the EU space mission reached Mars. Take a look at the right hand side of this official ESA Mars pic showing strange blue ‘splotches’ in craters: ESA Blue. And you might want to browse through this Mars photo gallery.
Then stare in amazement at what’s visible in Nasa’s own pictures at Mars unearthed selected images gallery.
For something a little further beyond what you might be used to, take a thoughtful look at Cydonia Imperative.
Gear change. As you probably know, Lord Hutton this week released a total whitewash of the sexed up WMD report and the murder of Dr David Kelly. Download the Hutton Report.
I haven’t seen this amount of groveling disguised as objective vindication of a Government since the fun-filled days of Apartheid. Read this letter by some doctors on Dr David Kelly’s ‘suicide’.
And to get a sense of the overall whitewash in action, read The spectacular one-sidedness of the Hutton Inquiry. (Lord Hutton is 96). More news buried by the media this week deals with the Pentagon refusing to release its documents relating to human experimentation during the Cold War. It’s not common knowledge that all manner of drugs, microbes, viruses and beyond were tested on unwitting human beings — and were also released into the air above various American cities. Get your curiosity levels piqued and read Pentagon refuses to declassify chemical testing documents.
Food time. If you know about the joys of eating out of tins and generally not bothering to get the candelabra out just for a solo meal, there’s a website catering for folks with this sort of happy retarded-teen approach to foods. Go snoop through the hints at Cooking with students.
Or if you have time online to kill, why not spend 10 minutes filling out this genuine questionnaire that’s part of a study by the University of Leicester on Thoughts and attitudes towards celebrities.
People have this silly idea that, back at the end of the second world war, the Nazis were all punished (or killed) and the civilized world dusted itself off and went back to doing its own thing. Hollywood has reinforced this view. But the reality of course, was totally different. Large numbers of Hitler’s SS, Gestapo and scientists were simply transplanted into the US, given citizenship and put to work. This was called Operation Paperclip. Here’s the brief official view.
And for a reality check, read Paperclip Revisited.
Then dip into these extracts from a book on the subject, called Blowback-America’s recruitment of Nazis, and its disastrous effect on our domestic and foreign policy.
Recall those old black and white 1950s films of soldiers wincing as atom bombs exploded beyond them in the desert? Those human radiation experiments were mostly run by the same ex- Nazi doctors (who were also part of the MK-ULTRA drug testing programs): More Paperclip.
Decompression experiments in Auschwitz (on prisoners) and the documentation from these horrific tests were ultimately used to help design the space suits used by NASA in the Moon landings. Read The Origins of Fascism in the USA.
And staying with the Hitler thing for a moment, in case you ever wondered just what the connection is between the Third Reich and the current US President, do yourself a favour and first read Nasty Business — Corporate deals With Nazi Germany. And having learned something the war movies didn’t show you, read chapter two of the online book The Unauthorized Biography of George Bush — titled ‘The Hitler Project’. See how well-researched the main index for this book on the Bush Family is.
Gear change. Now for something in the ‘I’ll never fly Japan Airlines again’ category, read this in-depth look at a UFO sighting by a Japanese aircrew of a domestic airliner back in 1986: 1986 Japan UFO Airline Sighting.
Seeing as everyone in the White House is now backtracking on WMD, and starting to look for scapegoats in the intelligence community to cover up the real reasons for the Iraq war, it can be useful and educational to grab some primary source documents, ranging from al-Qaeda’s own statements through to documents on Bush Oil links, at Why War.
Do you need to get out of the habit of apologizing for everything? Go accuse this next site of anything you like, and it’ll apologize sincerely to you: Apologies Here.
And take a look at some computers you’re lucky you didn’t buy, way back when they were the hottest coolest and most powerful gadget on the block: Watch
Computers.
Finally, you’ll need some bandwidth to load the experience, but if you’re curious about just what can be done by a single person who has no budget whatsoever yet wants to make a documentary about Space, go watch A cheap space documentary.
Until the next time, if my own paranoia doesn’t get me.
