Average High Temperatures Coldest In Decades
BOSTON — If you think you’ve never seen such a cool start to the summer, you are right: It’s been more than 100 years since Boston has been this cold in June.
For the period of June 1 through July 8, Boston, Providence and Worcester have had the coolest high temperature on record, according to StormTeam 5’s JC Monahan.
The average high temperature for Boston for that time period was 69.7 degrees. That tied the record set in 1903. In Worcester, the average was 69.3 degrees — the coolest since 1972, and Providence’s average high was 72.3 degrees — the coolest since 1916.
Earlier this week, the editor of the Farmers’ Almanac, which predicted a wet summer in the Northeast, said June’s temperatures were cooler than he expected.
More of the same weather is predicted for the rest of the summer. The almanac’s forecast for July and August has scattered showers, lightning, thunderstorms, wind and rain.
Local businesses are also feeling the brunt of the wet weather. In years past, D&D Mulch and Landscaping made about 30 deliveries a day during June. This year, it was only two or three.
“If we can get through the weather and economy, we’ll be all set. This year we’re offering free delivery, and we lowered our prices a little bit,” said Sarkis Sarkisian, of D&D Mulch and Landscaping.
Businesses who rent canoes and kayaks on the Charles River said that they also had a tough June.
“The temperature isn’t as critical as when the sun in shining. That’s when people want to be outside,” said Larry Smith, of Charles River Canoe.

Prince Charles warns of evironmental doom
July 10, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Prince Charles has warned of environmental catastrophe, saying the world must “urgently confront” pressing green issues to avoid destroying “our children’s future”.
Prince Charles, the heir to the throne, warned on Wednesday that today’s consumer society comes at an enormous cost to the planet and we must “face up to the fact” that it is no longer sustainable.
He also said that preserving and maintaining the world’s ecosystems was inextricably linked to the economic wellbeing of nations.
The Prince, who has campaigned on safeguarding the rainforests and is known for his strong environmental views, set out his vision for tackling the threats facing the planet in a major speech at St James’s Palace in London.
Prince Charles said we were “at an historic moment – because we face a future where there is a real prospect that if we fail the earth, we fail humanity”.
“To avoid such an outcome, which will comprehensively destroy our children’s future, we must urgently confront and then make choices which carry monumental implications,” he said.
“We are standing at a moment of substantial transition where we face the dual challenges of a world view and an economic system that seem to have enormous shortcomings, together with an environmental crisis – including that of climate change – which threatens to engulf us all.”
Prince Charles described the effect mankind was having on the planet, from causing the thinning of the Arctic sea ice to threatening the world’s rainforests, which have reduced by a third since the 1950s.
Delivering the annual Richard Dimbleby lecture in honour of the veteran broadcaster, Prince Charles said it appeared that, if the world continued on its present path, it would lead to a “depleted and divided planet”.
“But for all its achievements, our consumerist society comes at an enormous cost to the earth and we must face up to the fact that the earth cannot afford to support it,” he said.
“Just as our banking sector is struggling with its debts – and paradoxically also facing calls for a return to so-called ‘old-fashioned’ traditional thinking – so nature’s life-support systems are failing to cope with the debts we have built up there too.”

Memo to Prince Charles: CO2 is not a pollutant. CO2 is plant food

LONDON, ENGLAND – JULY 08: HRH Prince Charles, Prince of Wales laughs as he is taken on a tour of St Pancras Almshouses on July 8, 2009 in London, England.

It’s probably very much in the Prince’s interests that we should all be rendered so poor that we can’t even afford to run our cars any more.
By James Delingpole
For those of us who still believe in logic, reason, empiricism, rationality, commonsense, economy reality and our inalienable right not to have trillions and trillions of our pounds, euros and dollars flushed down to the toilet to no purpose whatsoever, listening to the Prince of Wales’s pronouncements on “man made global warming” is becoming an increasingly trying experience.
In the Spectator today, I interview an Australian geology professor called Ian Plimer whose brilliant new book – Heaven And Earth – is rightly being hailed as the one that is going to nail once and for all the crazy myth that man’s contribution to “climate change” is remotely significant, let alone something we should worry about or waste money trying to stop.
As Professor Plimer observes with characteristic Aussie bluntness: “CO2 is not a pollutant. CO2 is plant food.”
Yet so many of the ruinously expensive policies being formulated on our behalf by everyone from Barack Obama to EU president (and former Maoist) Jose Manuel Barroso to Ed Miliband to (God help us) David Cameron’s Conservatives are based on the scientifically groundless urban myth that human generated CO2 (quite minuscule, anyway, compared with the quantities of greenhouse gases volcanoes belch or even cows fart) is the most dangerous substance on earth.
Prince Charles is fond of telling us that we only have 100 months left to save the earth. (Apparently down to 96 now, or so he claimed in his recent Dimbleby lecture). But I’d say the time we have left to save the world is quite significantly less than that. Not from the perfectly natural process of climate change, of course, but the far far greater threat of climate change alarmism.
Unless those of us with more than half a brain cell unite and act soon, the earth is going to fall prey to the most destructive, expensive, suicidally pointless taxation and regulation and protectionism in global economic history. We simply cannot afford any longer to allow the likes of the Prince Of Wales, Al Gore, NASA activist James Hansen, Lord Stern and their amen corner in the mainstream media to go on pushing their ludicrous scare story unchallenged.
Right now, out there in the real world, are numerous genuine ecological challenges that urgently need addressing: the decline of fish (thanks European Union fisheries policy!); pollution; diminishing water tables; deforestation; overpopulation; and the great eco-disaster that are bio-fuels. The Quixotic quest to arrest “climate change” – something that has been happening for 4,567 million years regardless of man’s input – is a silly and expensive distraction.
What’s particularly galling about the most outspoken supporters of climate change taxation and regulation is that many of them either are rich enough not to be affected by it or – worse – stand to make vast fortunes as a result of it.
The Prince of Wales is a case in point. When you’re on a salary of £18 million, as he is, you’re probably not going to be bothered overmuch by tiny details such as your gas and electricity bills doubling because of green taxes on carbon emissions. You’re not even going to mind, that much, that if Barack Obama’s new $7.4 trillion cap and trade tax on carbon emissions is introduced the global economic recovery is going to be set by a generation. Indeed, it’s probably very much in the Prince’s interests that we should all be rendered so poor that we can’t even afford to run our cars any more. It will leave Britain’s roads free for Charlie to pootle about as freely as he wishes in his bio-ethanol-powered Aston Martin.
Poop! Poop!

Obama’s Cabinet Pushes Climate Bill
July 8, 2009 · Leave a Comment
Top Members of the Obama Administration on Tuesday Urged the Senate to Adopt Climate Change Legislation
Saying global warming poses unprecedented threats to Americans’ way of life, four of President Barack Obama’s top environmental and energy officials urged the Senate on Tuesday to pass legislation to reduce the pollution linked to the planet’s rising temperature.
The heads of the Energy Department, Agriculture Department, Interior Department and Environmental Protection Agency told a Senate panel it should pass a bill similar to one the House narrowly cleared late last month. That legislation would impose the first limits on greenhouse gases, eventually leading to an 80 percent reduction by mid-century by putting a price on each ton of climate-altering pollution.
“We will not fully unleash the potential of the clean energy economy unless this committee, and the Senate, put an upper limit on the emissions of heat-trapping gases that are damaging our environment,” Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said in prepared testimony. Salazar acknowledged that another Senate panel has already advanced a bill that would boost the amount of energy generated from renewable sources.
Energy Secretary Steven Chu warned that a projected temperature increase would make the world a much different place, and said the only way to avoid that outcome is by enacting legislation to curb emissions, such as carbon dioxide, released by the burning of fossil fuels.
“Denial of the climate change problem will not change our destiny; a comprehensive energy and climate bill that caps and then reduces carbon emissions will,” Chu said.
But Chu and EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson admitted that reductions in the U.S. alone will not be enough to avert the worst consequences of global warming. The hope is that the legislation will inspire other countries to also act.
“U.S. action alone will not impact world carbon dioxide levels,” Jackson said. “What the U.S. does is important in terms of entering the clean energy race.”
The appearance of the three Cabinet secretaries and EPA administrator signals the beginning of the Senate’s work on a climate bill. The committee hopes to draft and advance legislation before the August recess, and Senate leaders have said they want to take up the measure this fall, before talks on a new global treaty to reduce heat-trapping gases.
The House narrowly passed its version of the bill 219-212 late last month, after months of negotiations that led to last-minute deals and significant concessions to win the votes of moderate Democrats from industrial and agricultural states concerned about the costs the bill would impose on businesses in their districts.
Further compromises will be needed for the bill to pass the Senate, and the debate launched Tuesday offered some early clues as to where those changes may occur: provisions to boost nuclear energy and to further compensate farmers for projects that would reduce greenhouse gases.
Unlike the House, the Senate has tried and failed to pass legislation to curb the global warming pollution before, a track record Republicans seized on Tuesday.
“You can be sure of this: once the American public realize what this legislation will do to their wallets, they will resoundingly reject it,” said Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe, the panel’s top Republican. “Perhaps that explains why we are rushing cap-and-trade through the Senate.”
All four administration officials sought to head off cost concerns, citing analyses by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office that estimated the House bill would cost the average household in 2020 less than 50 cents a day.
And that, Jackson testified, leaves out the benefits of addressing global warming, such as more jobs, less money flowing overseas to oil producers and averting the floods, drought and disease expected to come when the Earth’s temperature rises.
“Can anyone honestly say that the head of an American household would not spend a dollar a day to safeguard the well-being of his or her children … and to create new American jobs that pay well and cannot be outsourced?” she asked.

EPA May Have Suppressed Report Skeptical Of Global Warming
July 8, 2009 · Leave a Comment
by Declan McCullagh
The Environmental Protection Agency may have suppressed an internal report that was skeptical of claims about global warming, including whether carbon dioxide must be strictly regulated by the federal government, according to a series of newly disclosed e-mail messages.
Less than two weeks before the agency formally submitted its pro-regulation recommendation to the White House, an EPA center director quashed a 98-page report that warned against making hasty “decisions based on a scientific hypothesis that does not appear to explain most of the available data.”
The EPA official, Al McGartland, said in an e-mail message to a staff researcher on March 17: “The administrator and the administration has decided to move forward… and your comments do not help the legal or policy case for this decision.”
The e-mail correspondence raises questions about political interference in what was supposed to be a independent review process inside a federal agency — and echoes criticisms of the EPA under the Bush administration, which was accused of suppressing a pro-climate change document.
Alan Carlin, the primary author of the 98-page EPA report, told CBSNews.com in a telephone interview on Friday that his boss, McGartland, was being pressured himself. “It was his view that he either lost his job or he got me working on something else,” Carlin said. “That was obviously coming from higher levels.”
E-mail messages released this week show that Carlin was ordered not to “have any direct communication” with anyone outside his small group at EPA on the topic of climate change, and was informed that his report would not be shared with the agency group working on the topic.
“I was told for probably the first time in I don’t know how many years exactly what I was to work on,” said Carlin, a 38-year veteran of the EPA. “And it was not to work on climate change.” One e-mail orders him to update a grants database instead.
For its part, the EPA sent CBSNews.com an e-mailed statement saying: “Claims that this individual’s opinions were not considered or studied are entirely false. This Administration and this EPA Administrator are fully committed to openness, transparency and science-based decision making. These principles were reflected throughout the development of the proposed endangerment finding, a process in which a broad array of voices were heard and an inter-agency review was conducted.”
Carlin has an undergraduate degree in physics from CalTech and a PhD in economics from MIT. His Web site lists papers about the environment and public policy dating back to 1964, spanning topics from pollution control to environmentally-responsible energy pricing.
After reviewing the scientific literature that the EPA is relying on, Carlin said, he concluded that it was at least three years out of date and did not reflect the latest research. “My personal view is that there is not currently any reason to regulate (carbon dioxide),” he said. “There may be in the future. But global temperatures are roughly where they were in the mid-20th century. They’re not going up, and if anything they’re going down.”
Carlin’s report listed a number of recent developments he said the EPA did not consider, including that global temperatures have declined for 11 years; that new research predicts Atlantic hurricanes will be unaffected; that there’s “little evidence” that Greenland is shedding ice at expected levels; and that solar radiation has the largest single effect on the earth’s temperature.
If there is a need for the government to lower planetary temperatures, Carlin believes, other mechanisms would be cheaper and more effective than regulation of carbon dioxide. One paper he wrote says managing sea level rise or reducing solar radiation reaching the earth would be more cost-effective alternatives.
The EPA’s possible suppression of Carlin’s report, which lists the EPA’s John Davidson as a co-author, could endanger any carbon dioxide regulations if they are eventually challenged in court.
“The big question is: there is this general rule that when an agency puts something out for public evidence and comment, it’s supposed to have the evidence supporting it and the evidence the other way,” said Sam Kazman, general counsel of the Competitive Enterprise Institute, a non-partisan think tank in Washington, D.C. that has been skeptical of new laws or regulations relating to global warming.
Kazman’s group obtained the documents — both CEI and Carlin say he was not the source — and released the e-mails on Tuesday and the report on Friday. As a result of the disclosure, CEI has asked the EPA to re-open the comment period on the greenhouse gas regulatory proceeding, which ended on Tuesday.
The EPA also said in its statement: “The individual in question is not a scientist and was not part of the working group dealing with this issue. Nevertheless the document he submitted was reviewed by his peers and agency scientists, and information from that report was submitted by his manager to those responsible for developing the proposed endangerment finding. In fact, some ideas from that document are included and addressed in the endangerment finding.”
That appears to conflict with an e-mail from McGartland in March, who said to Carlin, the report’s primary author: “I decided not to forward your comments… I can see only one impact of your comments given where we are in the process, and that would be a very negative impact on our office.” He also wrote to Carlin: “Please do not have any direct communication with anyone outside of (our group) on endangerment. There should be no meetings, e-mails, written statements, phone calls, etc.”
One reason why the process might have been highly charged politically is the unusual speed of the regulatory process. Lisa Jackson, the new EPA administrator, had said that she wanted her agency to reach a decision about regulating carbon dioxide under the Clean Air Act by April 2 — the second anniversary of a related U.S. Supreme Court decision.
“All this goes back to a decision at a higher level that this was very urgent to get out, if possible yesterday,” Carlin said. “In the case of an ordinary regulation, these things normally take a year or two. In this case, it was a few weeks to get it out for public comment.” (Carlin said that he and other EPA staff members asked to respond to a draft only had four and a half days to do so.)
In the last few days, Republicans have begun to raise questions about the report and e-mail messages, but it was insufficient to derail the so-called cap and trade bill from being approved by the U.S. House of Representatives.
Rep. Joe Barton, the senior Republican on the Energy and Commerce committee, invoked Carlin’s report in a floor speech during the debate on Friday. “The science is not there to back it up,” Barton said. “An EPA report that has been suppressed… raises grave doubts about the endangerment finding. If you don’t have an endangerment finding, you don’t need this bill. We don’t need this bill. And for some reason, the EPA saw fit not to include that in its decision.” (The endangerment finding is the EPA’s decision that carbon dioxide endangers the public health and welfare.)
“I’m sure it was very inconvenient for the EPA to consider a study that contradicted the findings it wanted to reach,” Rep. James Sensenbrenner, the senior Republican on the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming, said in a statement. “But the EPA is supposed to reach its findings based on evidence, not on political goals. The repression of this important study casts doubts on EPA’s finding, and frankly, on other analysis EPA has conducted on climate issues.”
The revelations could prove embarrassing to Jackson, the EPA administrator, who said in January: “I will ensure EPA’s efforts to address the environmental crises of today are rooted in three fundamental values: science-based policies and programs, adherence to the rule of law, and overwhelming transparency.” Similarly, Mr. Obama claimed that “the days of science taking a back seat to ideology are over… To undermine scientific integrity is to undermine our democracy. It is contrary to our way of life.”
“All this talk from the president and (EPA administrator) Lisa Jackson about integrity, transparency, and increased EPA protection for whistleblowers — you’ve got a bouquet of ironies here,” said Kazman, the CEI attorney.

The EPA Silences a Climate Skeptic

The professional penalty for offering a contrary view to elites like Al Gore is a smear campaign.
By Kimberley A. Strassel
Wherever Jim Hansen is right now — whatever speech the “censored” NASA scientist is giving — perhaps he’ll find time to mention the plight of Alan Carlin. Though don’t count on it.
Mr. Hansen, as everyone in this solar system knows, is the director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies. Starting in 2004, he launched a campaign against the Bush administration, claiming it was censoring his global-warming thoughts and fiddling with the science. It was all a bit of a hoot, given Mr. Hansen was already a world-famous devotee of the theory of man-made global warming, a reputation earned with some 1,400 speeches he’d given, many while working for Mr. Bush. But it gave Democrats a fun talking point, one the Obama team later picked up.
So much so that one of President Barack Obama’s first acts was a memo to agencies demanding new transparency in government, and science. The nominee to head the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Lisa Jackson, joined in, exclaiming, “As administrator, I will ensure EPA’s efforts to address the environmental crises of today are rooted in three fundamental values: science-based policies and program, adherence to the rule of law, and overwhelming transparency.” In case anyone missed the point, Mr. Obama took another shot at his predecessors in April, vowing that “the days of science taking a backseat to ideology are over.”
Except, that is, when it comes to Mr. Carlin, a senior analyst in the EPA’s National Center for Environmental Economics and a 35-year veteran of the agency. In March, the Obama EPA prepared to engage the global-warming debate in an astounding new way, by issuing an “endangerment” finding on carbon. It establishes that carbon is a pollutant, and thereby gives the EPA the authority to regulate it — even if Congress doesn’t act.
Around this time, Mr. Carlin and a colleague presented a 98-page analysis arguing the agency should take another look, as the science behind man-made global warming is inconclusive at best. The analysis noted that global temperatures were on a downward trend. It pointed out problems with climate models. It highlighted new research that contradicts apocalyptic scenarios. “We believe our concerns and reservations are sufficiently important to warrant a serious review of the science by EPA,” the report read.
The response to Mr. Carlin was an email from his boss, Al McGartland, forbidding him from “any direct communication” with anyone outside of his office with regard to his analysis. When Mr. Carlin tried again to disseminate his analysis, Mr. McGartland decreed: “The administrator and the administration have decided to move forward on endangerment, and your comments do not help the legal or policy case for this decision. . . . I can only see one impact of your comments given where we are in the process, and that would be a very negative impact on our office.” (Emphasis added.)
Mr. McGartland blasted yet another email: “With the endangerment finding nearly final, you need to move on to other issues and subjects. I don’t want you to spend any additional EPA time on climate change. No papers, no research etc, at least until we see what EPA is going to do with Climate.” Ideology? Nope, not here. Just us science folk. Honest.
The emails were unearthed by the Competitive Enterprise Institute. Republican officials are calling for an investigation; House Energy Committee ranking member Joe Barton sent a letter with pointed questions to Mrs. Jackson, which she’s yet to answer. The EPA has issued defensive statements, claiming Mr. Carlin wasn’t ignored. But there is no getting around that the Obama administration has flouted its own promises of transparency.
The Bush administration’s great sin, for the record, was daring to issue reports that laid out the administration’s official position on global warming. That the reports did not contain the most doomsday predictions led to howls that the Bush politicals were suppressing and ignoring career scientists.
The Carlin dustup falls into a murkier category. Unlike annual reports, the Obama EPA’s endangerment finding is a policy act. As such, EPA is required to make public those agency documents that pertain to the decision, to allow for public comment. Court rulings say rulemaking records must include both “the evidence relied upon and the evidence discarded.” In refusing to allow Mr. Carlin’s study to be circulated, the agency essentially hid it from the docket.
Unable to defend the EPA’s actions, the climate-change crew — , led by anonymous EPA officials — is doing what it does best: trashing Mr. Carlin as a “denier.” He is, we are told, “only” an economist (he in fact holds a degree in physics from CalTech). It wasn’t his “job” to look at this issue (he in fact works in an office tasked with “informing important policy decisions with sound economics and other sciences.”) His study was full of sham science. (The majority of it in fact references peer-reviewed studies.) Where’s Mr. Hansen and his defense of scientific freedom when you really need him?
Mr. Carlin is instead an explanation for why the science debate is little reported in this country. The professional penalty for offering a contrary view to elites like Al Gore is a smear campaign. The global-warming crowd likes to deride skeptics as the equivalent of the Catholic Church refusing to accept the Copernican theory. The irony is that, today, it is those who dare critique the new religion of human-induced climate change who face the Inquisition.

Prince Charles recorded the most expensive travel bill in history
Private Jet Daily | Jun 30, 2009
Prince Charles recorded the most expensive travel bill in the history of royal accounts with two private jet trips.
In behalf of the Foreign Commonwealth Office, he went to the Far East last autumn and visited South America last May. The trips cost British tax payers £694,081 and £698,890, respectively.

Prince Charles warns of ‘Dark Age’
On both trips, the royal family member was accused of “green hypocrisy” as visits were supposed to highlight environmental issues and global warming.
In 2008, the Queen and her extended family spent £6.5million worth of travel expenses. The statistic indicated a £300,000 increase on the previous 12 months. The expensive bill includes travel in private jets, helicopters, and the Royal Train.
One of the most expensive travel bills was recorded by the Duke of Gloucester, who travelled with his wife to the South Pacific to attend the coronation of King Tupou V of Tonga.
The trip, which cost £140,000, included scheduled flights in Australia and a private jet trip from paradise isle.
Aides insist that Tonga is a Commonwealth county, making it essential for one of the queen’s representatives to attend.
Another expensive trip came from the Duke of York, who is now dubbed by reporters as “Air Miles Andy.” He represented the Queen as a UK Special Ambassador for Trade and Industry to the Baltic States, Mongolia, and China last October. His trips accumulated a total cost of £149,430.
However, Prince Charles topped the list for expensive trips with over £2million spent on trips at home and abroad.

Energy bills ‘too low’ to combat climate change says Royal Society

Royal Society report says current government policy is not enough to pay for green technology
by Alok Jha
Consumers will need to pay more for energy if the UK is to have any chance of developing the technologies needed to tackle climate change, according to a group of leading scientists and engineers.
In a Royal Society study to be published today, the experts said that the government must put research into alternatives to fossil fuel much higher among its priorities, and argued that current policy in the area was “half-hearted”.
“We have adapted to an energy price which is unrealistically low if we’re going to try and preserve the environment,” John Shepherd, a climate scientist at Southampton University and co-author of the report said. “We have to allow the economy to adapt to higher energy prices through carbon prices and that will then make things like renewables and nuclear more economic, as carbon-based alternatives become more expensive.”
Shepherd admitted higher energy costs would be a hard sell to the public, but said it was not unthinkable. Part of the revenue could be generated by a carbon tax that took the place of VAT, so that the cost of an item took into account the energy and carbon footprint of a product. This would allow people to make appropriate decisions on their spending, and also raise cash for research into alternatives.
“Our research expenditure on non-fossil energy sources is 0.2% of what we spend on energy itself,” said Shepherd. “Multiplying that by 10 would be a very sensible thing to do. We’re spending less than 1% on probably the biggest problem we’ve faced in many decades.”
He said that the priority should be to decarbonise the UK’s electricity supply. Measures such as the government’s recent support for electric cars, he said, would be of no use unless the electricity they used came from carbon-free sources.
Though the creation of the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) was a good move, Shepherd said: “We’ve had a lot of good talk but we still have remarkably little in the way of action.”
He cited the recent DECC proposals on carbon capture and storage (CCS) as an example. The department plans to legislate that any new coal-fired power station must demonstrate CCS on a proportion of its output. Once the technology is proven, a judgment made by the EnvironmentAgency around 2020, power plants would have five years to scale up to full CCS.
Shepherd said the proposals were not bold enough. “Really, it needs to be ‘no new coal unless you have 90% emissions reductions by 2020′. That is achievable and, if that were a clear signal, industry would get on and do it. It’s taken a long time for that signal to come through and now that it has, it’s a half-hearted message.”
A spokesperson for DECC argued that its proposed regulatory measures were “the most environmentally ambitious in the world, and would see any new coal power stations capturing at least 20-25% of their carbon emissions from day one”.
Ed Miliband, energy and climate change secretary, said that a white paper due next month will lay out how Britain will source its energy for the coming decades.
“This white paper will be the first time we’ve set out our vision of an energy mix in the context of carbon budgets and climate change targets. We have identified ways to tackle the challenges – we will need a mix of renewables, clean fossil fuels and nuclear and we’re already making world-leading progress in those areas. It’s a transition plan, a once in a generation statement of how the UK will make the historic and permanent move to a low-carbon economy with emissions cut by at least 80% in the middle of the century.”
The Royal Society report will argue that energy policy has been too fragmented and short-term in its outlook, with a tendency to hunt for silver-bullet solutions to climate change. “That really isn’t the case. What we need is a portfolio of solutions, horses for courses,” said Shepherd.

Experts Claim Dome Over Entire City of Houston May Help Environment
June 16, 2009 · 3 Comments
The science of mega engineering says we can save Houston with a Dome. Imagine building a huge Dome that covers the entire city, that is higher than Houston’s skyscrapers. (Image: Discovery)
One solution to counter the almost overwhelming environmental challenges facing Houston is to cover it with a giant geodesic dome. You can watch the video at the Discovery channel and explore how a giant geodesic dome may save the city from a grim environmental future.
Houston is in peril. The country’s fourth most populous city faces heat, hurricanes and other natural disasters. Houston has always been vulnerable to hurricanes and severe weather.
Houston city center shut down for nearly a week from last year’s hurricane. It caused the city a 10 billion dollar damage. It’s not only the hurricanes, but also heat and humidity that keep oppressing this great city. On nearly 100 days each year the temperature climbs above 90 degrees.
Air conditioning helps, but it comes at a very high cost. Houston is using more electricity than Los Angeles.
This is why some scientists think the only way to save the city is to move it indoors, in other words to build a huge dome for Houston. Houston dome area will stretch over 21 Million square feet, making it the biggest structure with the largest roof in the world.
Related
Houston: The First Domed City?
Houston Dome’s broadest panels will be 15 feet across. It will take 147,000 panels to cover the city of Houston. Glass will not work for Houston Dome. It will be so heavy that it can’t hold. Houston Dome will require a much lighter material. It may come from the German city of Bremen, from a factory of Vector Foil Company.
Vector Foiltec invented the use of Texlon® ETFE, the climatic envelope, over twenty five years ago and has successfully developed and promoted the use of this innovative technology worldwide. This is light polymer and is the future of glass.
This material, called ETFE is the only material that will make a fuller city-size dome possible, even for a city like Houston. At just one percent of glass, ETFE is described as 99 percent nothing. Without ETF the Houston dome can never become reality. It is so light that 99 percent lighter than glass is tremendous change.
Since it’s not possible to stop the life in Houston to build the Dome and army of dirigibles will be used to complete the construction.
Houston Dome will take years of construction and billions of dollars. The Dome is designed to protect a city from a category-5 hurricane. The ETFEpanels and the space-frame steel structure that supports them are the key. ETFE can withstand winds of 180 miles per hour. This is higher velocity than the strongest category 5 hurricane.
Houston Dome idea is very intriguing. But I am just left with one idea. Will Houston ever see rain? If no, is it possible to sustain an ecosystem of such a size without rain?

THE BLACK NOBILITY…
WHO ARE THE BLACK NOBILITY?
by Dee Jay
Posted at 10:44 p.m. Wednesday June 28, 2000
The “Black Nobility” are/were the oligarchic families of Venice and Genoa, Italy, who in
the 12th century held the privileged trading rights (monopolies). The first of three
crusades, from 1063 to 1123, established the power of the Venetian Black Nobility and
solidified the power of the wealthy ruling class. The Black Nobility aristocracy achieved
complete control over Venice in 1171, when the appointment of the Doge was transferred
to what was known as the Great Council, which consisted of members of the commercial
aristocracy (among them the infamous de’Medici family). Venice has remained in their
hands ever since, but the power and influence of the Venetian Black Nobility extends far
beyond its borders, and today it is felt in every corner of the globe. (Don’t forget, our
modern banking system originated in Italy.)
In 1204 the oligarchic family parcelled out feudal enclaves to their members, and from
this epoch dates the great building-up of power and pressure until the government
became a closed corporation (don’t we know this from somewhere?) of the leading Black
Nobility families. More of this can be found in the works of Dr. John Coleman, Black
Nobility Unmasked World-wide, 1985; Conspirators’ Hierarchy: The Story of the
Committee of 300, 1992. Question: the Christopher Columbus story is a concoction. How
about the Marco Polo stories? Anyone?
The Black Nobility earned its title through dirty tricks, so when the population revolted
against the monopolies in government, as anywhere else (aren’t we), the leaders of the
uprising were quickly seized and brutally hanged. The Black Nobility uses secret
assassinations, murder, blackmail, the bankrupting of opposing citizens or companies,
kidnapping, rape and so on… hence their name. Who are these families today? Well, the
most important ones are: House of Guelph, Britain (the most important one); House of
Wettin, Belgium; House of Bernadotte, Sweden; House of Liechtenstein, Liechtenstein;
House of Oldenburg, Denmark; House of Hohenzollern, Germany; House of Hanover,
Germany (the second most important one); House of Bourbon, France; House of Orange,
Netherlands; House of Grimaldi, Monaco; House of Wittelsbach, Germany; House of
Braganza, Portugal; House of Nassau, Luxembourg; House of Habsburg, Austria; House
of Savoy, Italy; House of Karadjordjevic, Yugoslavia (former); House of Württemberg,
Germany; House of Zogu, Albania; and all the families you will find on the Windsor
family tree.
All the families listed are connected with the House of Guelph, one of the original Black
Nobility families of Venice, from which the House of Windsor and thus the present
Queen of England, Elizabeth II, descends. The Guelphs are so intertwined with the
German aristocracy through the House of Hanover that it would take several pages to
mention all their connections. All (almost) European royal houses originate from the
House of Hanover and thus from the House of Guelph — the Black Nobility. An
example: the Hanoverian British King George I came from the Duchy of Luneburg, a part
of Northern Germany, which had been governed by the Guelph family since the 12th
century. Today the Guelphs (the Windsors) rule by dominating the raw materials market,
and for years they have fixed the price of gold (a commodity they neither produce nor
own). The House of Windsor also controls the price of copper, zinc, lead and tin. It is no
accident that the principle commodity exchanges are located in London, England.
Companies run by Black Nobility families are British Petroleum, Oppenheimer, Lonrho,
Philbro and many many more.
Another Black Nobility family are the Grosvenors in England. For centuries this family
lived, as most of the European families, on ground rent. Today the family owns at least
300 acres of land in the centre of London. The land is never sold, but leased on a 39 year
leasehold agreement — the ground rent of the middle ages. Grosvenor Square, in which
the American Embassy is located, belongs to the Grosvenor family, as does Eaton
Square. In Eaton Square apartments are rented out at 25,000 to 75,000 pounds a month
(and that does not include maintenance costs). This is to give you an idea of the immense
wealth the Black Nobility families garner from ground rents, and why families like the
Windsors are not at all interested in industrial progress along with the excess population
it supports. This is the main reason why these ‘noble’ families are behind most, if not all,
of the wrong-headed pro-environmental movements of the world that ultimately and
covertly (of course) aim to curb population growth. Prince Philip and Prince Charles are
the most visible symbols of these movements, and both have often spoken with the
utmost callousness about the need to rid the world of unwanted people.
The Black Nobility are the founders of the secret society of our day from which all the
others that are connected to the Illuminati originated from — the Committee of 300. The
Club of Rome, the C.F.R., the R.I.I.A., the Bilderbergers, the Round Table… all originate
from the Committee of 300 and therefore from the European Black Nobility families. Cooperating
with the European Black Nobility are American families like the Harrimans
and the McGeorge Bundys. The House of Hanover seems to be German, but is Jewish. So
is the House of Habsburg. So it wasn’t really the Germans who took over the British
throne.

ROUND TABLE=FABIANS….
Financial Ruin and War For All Who Oppose The Rulers of the Economy
The elites stay in power, the impact of the Madoff Ponzi scheme, presidents who stood up to the financial system, constitutional threats, Ironies of Lincoln, many states now face bankruptcy, California plunges towards bankruptcy, Derivative death star flies on, war and history and money,
The Illuminati of course chose the people comprising Obama’s Cabinet, and they are the same red scum from the Clinton Administration who destroyed our economy with deregulation, and who destroyed our security by greatly reducing our military capacity while setting up the phony War on Terror.
And let’s not forget about the Clinton Administration’s War in Kosovo, which was set up to split Kosovo from Serbia, so that the CIA and MI6 could have an illicit drug gateway to Europe, an opium distribution center run by Islamic thugs that would oversee the trafficking in opium to be produced by the soon-to-be-conquered Afghanistan, whose government would be taken over by our Illuminist government after the Taliban were ejected in the aftermath of the 911 attacks.
And let’s certainly not forget the Dot.com Bubble that happened during their watch, where stocks of companies with web sites but no revenue or business plans were sold for fabulous fortunes by an unregulated Wall Street to unsuspecting Baby Boomers preparing for retirement. The Nasdaq, once appropriately headed by Ponzi scum, Bernard Madoff, now stands at less than one third of its previous high, set almost a decade ago, and its collapse set the stage for the next bubbles, the real estate and OTC derivative bubbles, which now threaten to take down the world economy. Between the Nasdaq and hedge fund scams, Madoff has left an unprecedented swath of destruction in his wake, and his activities were covered up by elitists and their puppet regulators in our corrupt government, who profited handsomely from his nefarious schemes and activities, many of whom were undoubtedly associated with the deregulatory denizens of the former Clinton Administration.
This new Cabinet of Fascist slime will become our new Central Planners under Obama as we nationalize our financial, insurance, auto and pharmaceutical/medical industries. The new KGB, a/k/a Homeland Security, will be our Fascist enforcers while they set up a new domestic military force, and a military draft to provide it with the necessary manpower, to keep all their new “comrades,” a/k/a serfs, in line. The new military draft will also provide cannon fodder, a/k/a our sons and daughters, to continually terrorize the people of other nations around the world with wars for profit for the fun and aggrandizement of our Illuminist military-industrial complex. The new Gestapo will be headed by lesbian Janet Napolitano, now the former Governor of Arizona, a state that is completely overrun by illegal aliens. But hey, let’s not let horrendous performance in the area of state and national security, especially along our borders, get in the way of filling in the new KGB employment gaps for our new Gestapo state, which is now really a corporatist, fascist police state, employing all the worst elements of both communism and fascism. Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini would all be green with envy were they alive today. As we have stated in the past, our country has been taken over by a bunch of Fascists and we mean that literally.
Fascist Comrade Obama plans to have ecumenicist, Rick Warren, swear him in on President Lincoln’s Bible. This might seem encouraging at first, with Barack Obama symbolizing the first black presidential fruits of Lincoln’s efforts to free the slaves, until you realize that President Lincoln’s main objective at the start of the Civil War was the so-called preservation of the Union, not the emancipation of slaves. It was about state rights versus the power of the federal government. According to the Constitution, all rights are reserved to the states except for those specifically granted to the federal government by the US Constitution, and the Constitution did not originally address the issue of slavery, leaving it as an issue to be decided by each individual state. Thus, forcing the abolition of slavery, regardless of its obvious ethical merits, on the states of the South, was, quite literally, unconstitutional. This is really where the usurpation of states rights got started in earnest, and this process has resulted in the loss of much of our states’ sovereignty ever since as our Constitution continues to be ignored. The enforcement of so-called separation of church and state by the federal government and the federal judiciary against the states is a perfect example of this, as is federal funding and regulation of a public school system for the education of our children. Both issues involve the usurpation of states’ rights by the federal government. Federal funding is often used as the nexus to obtain control over areas of power normally reserved to the states, which are continually impoverished, along with their citizens, by the inflationary policies of the Federal Reserve System, thus forcing them, by economic duress, to accept help from the US government, and all the regulation and red tape that goes with it. Then our government miscreants just fire up the inflationary printing press, or invade the Social Security Ponzi Reserves, to provide the necessary funding, thus starting the next round of middle class inflationary pilferage, tax increases and financial duress, which leads to the next scheme to usurp state powers via federal funding which is needed by the states and their citizens on account of this ongoing economic extortion and financial terrorism.
Although Congress did not formally declare martial law in 1861, Lincoln proposed martial law type legislation, including the suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, which Congress then passed, the Southern states having seceded from the US government, leaving the Northern states in charge. This is not a good sign as we march toward our corporatist, fascist, Orwellian police state in the aftermath of Obama taking the oath for President of the US. The oath he will take will require that he uphold the Constitution, but like a good little Illuminist bootlicker, he won’t bite the hands that elected him, and he will ignore the Constitution totally. He endorsed the view of Justice Kennedy that the Constitution is a “living instrument,” which is a euphemism for saying that you can change it and ignore it at will to create the UFSRA, United Fascist Socialist Republic of America. According to Caligula, the current Illuminist puppet in the White House, the US Constitution is “just a piece of paper,” which is really just saying the same thing without the judicial flowery.
You might also note that the top tier Illuminist Rockefeller family, like Rick Warren, have a history of being ardent ecumenicists, as they are hell-bent on destroying Christianity and paving the way for a one-world religion as part of a one-world system of government which these sociopaths call the New World Order (and which we often more appropriately refer to as the New World Disorder). So Mr. Warren’s inclusion in the ceremony makes perfect sense from an Illuminist point of view.
Now many of our states face bankruptcy, and we shudder to think about what that implies for states’ rights and sovereignty in the event that they must be bailed out by the federal government. The borrower is always a slave to the lender. Will we see America broken up into regions, or see states secede again in the event we have a second Con-Con (Constitutional Convention), where our glorious Constitution is scrapped for a new fascist Big Brother form of government ala George Orwell? Could this be why our Illuminist-run federal government is so reticent to help our states, allowing them to experience maximum failure so they can bring them to their knees later and dictate subservient terms for their bailout via the private Federal Reserve and the US Treasury’s hyperinflationary printing press and digital computer entries? We only need two more states to call a second Con-Con. Will they wait until our nation disintegrates and then create Constitutional problems that beg for a resolution? You bet they will! It is called the Hegelian Dialectic. You can take that to the bank, if there are any left that are still solvent when we get to that point. Or they may just declare martial law and do away with the US Constitution altogether on that basis. Only time will tell. Suffice it to say, we are headed toward the Civil War times all over again. Hence the most likely reason for the use of Lincoln’s Bible. The Illuminati love to use symbolism to announce their future plans.
Our largest state by population and economy, California, is by far the poorest run state in the union as it plunges toward bankruptcy and civil unrest at breakneck speed. As the saying goes, you reap what you sow. The immigrant son of a former Nazi is their Illuminist governor. He was blessed by the Rothschild family, who are top tier Illuminists and the brains behind the evil Black Nobility of Europe, to play the role of governor to the world’s eighth largest economy. California is a glaring microcosm of all the worst types of problems that exist in America, and is at the epicenter of the subprime fraud and real estate bubble.
The Option ARM scandal/debacle is also centered in the state of excess, California, a massive case of loan fraud that will administer the coup de grace to the US real estate market and that is also a fuse leading to the CDS (credit default swap) and IRS (interest rate swap) powder kegs at the heart of the Quadrillion Dollar Derivative Death-Star.
That Quadrillion Dollar Derivative Death-Star is a world-class disaster made possible by the same group of deregulatory Clintonites who now infest Comrade Obama’s Cabinet. The new CCCP, the Clintonite Cabinet of fascist Parasites, with Queen Hillary as Secretary of State, is the same group of evil miscreants who were responsible for the totally irresponsible deregulation which did away with Glass-Steagall, which set up the unregulated OTC derivative market that powered the subprime, CDS and IRS derivatives debacles, and which ruined Fannie and Freddie with moronic loan qualification standards that were fraudulently not taken into account when valuing or rating derivatives. The CCCP’s previous deregulation will now pave the way for total dictatorial regulation via a feudal, corporatist, fascist police state as large sectors of our economy are nationalized. Get ready to fight, or to play the serf — your choice.
Getting back to the Civil War, what you also don’t read about in the fane-stream press or in our Fascistic system of indoctrination and disinformation which some euphemistically refer to as our public education system, is that there were forces from Europe who were using the slavery issue to drive a wedge between the North and South, to divide and conquer America, and to take it back under the enslaving power of the British mercantilist system of European-style, debt-based fractional reserve banking, the specialty of the Rothschild family, top Illuminists and financiers of Europe’s Black Nobility, including the British throne, which never forgave our Founding Fathers for breaking away from their dark, choking grasp.
The War of 1812 was the first effort of the British Black Nobility, backed by the Rothschild banking family, to take back America and reclaim it as their economic slave-state, and they have not stopped ever since. The First Bank of the United States, the so-called brainchild of Illuminist Alexander Hamilton (but really of Baron Rothschild acting in the background), was a British Mercantilist, debt-based fractional reserve bank, which the British Black Nobility hoped to use to regain their economic dominance over their former colony. The War of 1812 was started immediately after our US Congress, then run by real men with some chutzpah, refused to renew the charter of the First Bank of the United States in 1811, having realized where this devious and nefarious system of stealth taxation was about to take them. The ensuing British war efforts were funded by the Rothschild banking interests whose plans had been dashed by our admirable group of patriots in Congress, whose actions were in stark contrast to the leadership we get from the slimy, reprobate traitors who currently blacken the halls of our Capitol in Washington, D.C.
In any case, much to the dismay of the Illuminati, President Lincoln, during the Civil War, very wisely and bravely refused to finance the war using their private, debt-based fractional reserve banking system, which the Illuminati hoped to use to finance both sides of the war, thus ensuring maximum destruction for the later abject enslavement of America to their interests. President Lincoln rightly opted to issue paper money directly from the treasury known as United States Notes, to fund the war, and steered clear of the interest bearing, debt-based fiat currencies of the fractional reserve bankers of the British mercantilist system. The issuance of these United States Notes, on which no interest was due as they were not created to evidence interest bearing debts to private interests in the form of treasury bonds as is now the case with the Federal Reserve, were the direct obligations of the US government, thus avoiding the financial enslavement of interest payments.
The Fed now acts as our private British Mercantilist bankers, and it is owned by both US and European Illuminist interests, with the European interests being the same banking families and families of Black Nobility who have been attempting to retake America since the Revolutionary War, and who will stop at nothing to make America their oyster again. For his insolence in rejecting the European bankers and their co-conspirators among the Black Nobility, President Lincoln was assassinated. On June 4, 1963, President Kennedy attempted to do the same thing as President Lincoln with his Executive Order 11110, that would have put the Fed out of business, and thus suffered a similar fate. The assassinations of President’s Garfield and McKinley, as well as the attempted assassinations of Andrew Jackson, were all directly tied to their stand against private international bankers and their conspiracy to take over our financial system. Will Barack Obama also go maverick on the Fed and risk assassination to save our nation? It would be nice to think so, but we doubt it. On the other hand, if that’s why he is using Lincoln’s Bible, then we, of course, enthusiastically say: GO FOR IT!!!
After Obama swears on Lincoln’s Bible, he will use FDR’s Illuminist playbook to try to save the economy, a playbook that was an abject failure when FDR used it, and that will produce the same results this time. The objective is to spend as much money as possible, such that the elitists get paid their salaries, bonuses, dividends, stock options and golden parachutes, while the taxpayers of the US middle class get the shaft, as well as hyperinflation. We wonder which Illuminist companies will reap all the benefits from the contracts for infrastructure, and who the foreign nations are that will purchase them with their ever-diminishing dollar reserves when they are completed? It will be just like the Iraq War, with no-bid contracts, outrageous cost overruns, substandard and incomplete work, slave labor by illegal immigrants instead of US citizens, as well as bribes of, and fraudulent inspections by, government flunkies. Just the same old, same old, repackaged as infrastructure for a collapsing, dilapidated America, instead of a war-torn Iraq. Funding will come from the hyperinflationary monetization of treasuries in mass quantities since tax increases are out of the question for now. Those will come later, after the American middle class has been impoverished, as those who are lucky enough to still have jobs are taxed into oblivion, after having already been inflated into oblivion. Americans should make a point to become well acquainted with the streets of financial oblivion, as that is where the Illuminati intend to send them on a regular basis. And so it goes, ad nauseam.

And for our next trick…”
- “… we will eliminate world poverty and hunger!”
- “… we will change the earths rotation to its opposite direction!”
- “… we wil turn water into wine!”
Idiots!
Mind you, the more astute among the western leaders must be aware that the global temperature has been trending downwards over the last year. So they should know that warming will be limited to within 2 degrees centigrade by natural processes alone. That they are still going along with the utterly insane, self-destructive insanity of a reduction of 80% of CO2 emissions tells us that this whole charade is not about impending climate disaster. It is about increased government control, pure and simple.
[UPDATE001] Our own intrepid PM, Jan Peter Balkenende, is also afflicted with the collective Jesus-syndrome: Balkenende content with climate deal G8 (NL). Will nobody rid us of these blathering fools?

GORE THE FABIAN TOOL
THE CULT OF THE OLIGARCHYThe Gore of Babylon
by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.
March 16, 2007
[]
’s Laurence Hecht’sfor the March 23 edition of Executive Intelligence Review, drew upon a crucially relevant historical background, that of the role of Malthusian corruption which was expressed in the spread of the 20th-Century fascism of Mussolini, Hitler, Franco, and their imitators. Gore’s implicitly racist utopianism in his Africa policy today, like that of those Twentieth-Century horrors, is nothing other than a modern echo of the still deeper roots of the same illness, roots which are also to be found in the ancient Delphi cult of Dionysus.
This tradition of that Delphi Apollo cult, is described by the legendary Olympian Zeus of Classical tragedian Aeschylus’ Prometheus Bound . This ancient tradition has, persistently, menaced the cause of the sovereign nation-state with imperialist schemes, such as today’s “globalization” scheme by former U.S. Vice-President Al Gore, Jr., and others, a scheme for replacing the sovereign nation-state by an imperial Tower of Babel. Gore, thus, represents that Sophist’s tradition, traceable since as far back as today’s most ancient memories of European civilization have reached. It remains impossible to understand the historic mission of the pseudo-scientific frauds of Gore today, without recognizing him, as I show here, as not only a true echo of Twentieth-Century fascism, but, also, an echo, in that specific, historical sense, of the example provided by Aeschylus’ Prometheus Bound.
There are deeper, unfortunately rarely considered, scientific considerations, underlying what might appear to many, as merely the crudeness of that “global warming” fraud which Gore has adopted. There is nothing accidental about this specific aspect of Gore’s moral rottenness, the personal malice against mankind permeating Gore’s expressed creed; but, to understand any of this, then or now, we must recognize the deep, and ancient, systemic, virtually hereditary roots of the evil which Gore perpetrates today.
Thus, what Gore represents, is one among numerous varieties of an epidemic “childhood disease of mankind,” a cultural disease not of some people, but of humanity as a species. It is a “childhood disease” of the predominantly immature life of human development so far. It is only in this ancient origin of his present role, as an expression of a loathsome type of social disease, that Gore’s behavior and influence can be competently understood, and the pestilence, which he carries, properly treated.
These are strong words; and they require strong proof; without them, we would have failed to grasp the awful end which threatens civilization now, and, perhaps, for generations still to come. Civilization could be doomed to the rather immediate onset of a prolonged dark age of all humanity, unless the Dionysiac evil gripping Gore’s malthusian passion, is recognized for the efficiently Satanic religious qualities it represents.
* * *
“Is Gore already bringing the Democratic Party, once more, to something which would be, truly, far worse than another electoral defeat, this time in 2008?”
The time has come to go more far more deeply into the danger to all mankind, from what has been fairly described by relevant scientists as “the great global warming swindle.” The scientists’ public ridicule of former Vice-President Al Gore’s hoax has already provided more than adequate demonstration of the proof that Gore’s claims are entirely fraudulent. It remains for me to go into a much deeper, truly shocking implications of the political-historical side of that scientific evidence.
In the history of European science since pre-Homeric Mediterranean civilization’s “dark age,” each provable test of a principle of science, has usually been, as now, directly contrary to the popular Sophistry of its age, as with the prevalent opinion among most presumed experts today. A notable demonstration of the effect of underestimating this danger, had been the long-asserted authority of the neo-Aristotelean hoaxster Claudius Ptolemy’s fraudulent doctrines for astronomy.
As this point was demonstrated by Pythagoreans such as Archytas, truth in physical science always lies in those principles which are demonstrated, experimentally, to be universal, like Archytas’ constructive doubling of the cube.As Albert Einstein emphasized, this point is typified by the succession of both Kepler’s founding of a universal mode of modern European science, and Bernhard Riemann’s bringing of Kepler’s method, by way of Leibniz, to its needed, fuller resolution.
In such matters, public concern must be concentrated on two distinct, if functionally related propositions. In the first instance, practical attention is focused upon the issue of the intrinsic truthfulness of a discovered principle, such as Kepler’s uniquely validated discovery of universal gravitation: truth for its own sake . In the second instance, society must be occupied by concern for the sometimes deadly consequences of acting contrary to such a knowable universal physical principle. Both of these types of concerns, are at stake in the matter of what has been fairly documented by actual scientific authorities, as Al Gore’s “great global warming swindle.” Here, in this report, I address both of these types of concerns.
By that standard which I have just identified, those so-called “scientists” who have lined up in support of former Vice-President Al Gore’s blatant fraud on the subject of “global warming,” have adopted what is, if anything, a fraud far worse, on every count, in respect to both method and catastrophic social consequences, than that fraud of Claudius Ptolemy which leading officials of medieval and even Seventeenth-Century Europe upheld as an inquisitional standard of truth and personal morality.
I do not exaggerate in the slightest degree. In the present case, Gore’s fraud, the consequences are immediately worse than they were for any earlier hoax in the entire sweep of known ancient through modern civilization. Were Gore’s swindle to become established international law, the result would be that the entire planet would now plunge quickly into a prolonged dark age, one deeper, and worse than any other known to us from historical records of the past, a dark age from which only distant future generations would probably recover, but, that only after a probably long, and deep descent of depopulation, into rivalry with whatever species of baboons, or the like, might be available for making such comparisons.
The fact that Gore, and so many others, could demand that the human species be plunged into such a new dark age, in such a manner, bespeaks a quality of criminality as bad, or even worse, in implied consequences for mankind as a whole, than Adolf Hitler’s. Nonetheless, in dealing with creatures as morally rotten as Gore, we must recognize that their criminality is an outcome of a blend of bestialities, both a malice against mankind as deep as Hitler’s association with his own pro-eugenicist roots of the 1920s and early 1930s, and also Gore’s repeated exhibitions of a certain kind of sheer, implicitly psychotic degree of “fly hanging-open” quality of stupidity.But, Gore Is a Sick Man
Nonetheless, despite the passion this problem requires of us, we must study a criminality like that of Gore et al., with the scientific compassion a physician might bring to the study of a patient who is a homicidal madman. The ability to muster such clinical qualities of compassion, is necessary, if we are to discover the truth of the case: as a matter of scientifically validatable principle, how could a representative of so noble a creature as mankind, descend into that morally diseased state of awful degeneracy which Gore’s aggressively fraudulent ideology and its practice expresses?
Before he became U.S. President, Ronald Reagan had presented theater audiences with the relevant clinical case of the “Bonzo,” a young chimpanzee, which, by nature of its species, would degenerate from a naughty, pet-like creature of its youth, like, perhaps, young Al Gore, into a kind of “King Lear,” a “Bozo” among apes.
Sometimes, as in the profession of drama, it were wise to skip the temptation to stage a sequel; on that account, a more candid viewing of the continuing real-life prospects of President Ronald Reagan’s “Bonzo” should warn us, that, when well-trained, captive male chimpanzees enter adolescence, or become U.S. Vice-Presidents, they cease to be fun. That fairly sums up the monkey business we witness in the case of sometime Senator and Vice-President Al Gore, Jr. Some of his adolescent classmates had the smell of this in their nostrils, when they nicknamed him “Ozymandias.” Adolescent Al was trained at what Washington, D.C. would consider “the right schools,” but, nonetheless, in the end, like actor Reagan’s “Bonzo,” it was Al’s cultural roots, the ape within him, which came to the surface in his current adult, dramatic role as the “Artful Dodger” of the zinc and carbon swaps.
For reasons which are implicit in the discovery of the Noösphere, a discovery made by Russia’s V.I. Vernadsky, there are almost species-like, culturally induced differences among human types, axiomatic-like differences in types of cultural breeding which are sometimes comparable in form of expression to differences in biological varieties among lower forms of animal life. In that sense of the matter, in the strictest sense of the term, Al, at bottom, underneath the affected “company manners” exterior, Gore as a specimen, is simply not a desirable sociological type, nor, at this stage in his life, probably civilizable, either.
Gore is, culturally, a sick man; he represents an infectious sickness; but the possibility of a cure, or at least an amelioration of his moral disorder, which is, after all, the crucial issue, depends upon recognizing, as scientists must, the root of the infection which defines both Gore’s influence as, like syphilis, that of not only a symptomatically nasty, but also deadly social disease.
Therefore, to put Al Gore’s noxious quirk into its appropriate scientific focus, it is necessary to pivot the investigation from the crucially relevant fact, that the greatest contribution to the world’s science made by Russia’s great Academician V.I. Vernadsky, was his defining the notion of the Noösphere as a universal physical principle. Vernadsky’s discovery must be recognized as establishing a universal physical principlea principle of the universe, that in the same sense that universal gravitation, as originally defined, uniquely, by Johannes Kepler, is not a statistical object, but a universally efficient principle underlying the existence of the universe as a whole.It is that principle of discovery, which distinguishes mankind from the apes, which is our proper concern, a principle we must serve, promote, and defend against all corruption.
I explain the aforesaid connections.1. The Human Species & Its Noösphere
The human species is unique among all known types of living creatures. This existential distinction between man and beast, is most clearly expressed by the effect of the human discovery, and use of universal physical principles. Johannes Kepler’s uniquely original discovery of universal gravitation, typifies this form of action: a form of potential for action which is uniquely specific to the sovereign cognitive powers of the individual member of the human species. The effect of this quality of the human individual, is typified by the potential increase of the human population, by more than a thousand decimal orders of magnitude, from what is already the range of potential relative population-density of a species of higher ape, to the more than six billions human individuals living today.
Therefore, the significance of the work of V.I. Vernadsky on this account, is expressed in two, interdependent, but qualitatively distinct ways:
First, that the power which this unique principle expresses in the social behavior of the sovereign individual personality, is not expressed in any species of animal.
Second, that the social effect of the expression of this unique principle, is shaped by the notion of dynamics , as dynamics is expressed, in fact, by the uniquely original discoveries of Kepler, and as dynamics is defined, successively, in modern scientific practice since Kepler, chiefly by Gottfried Leibniz,Bernhard Riemann, and V.I. Vernadsky.
As will be clarified, at an appropriate point below, Vernadsky’s notion of dynamics , is explicitly premised on Bernhard Riemann’s development of the dynamical principles of physical hypergeometry . Here, in this notion of Riemannian dynamics, lies the essential functional distinction of Vernadsky’s use of the term ” Noösphere ” (as distinct from the mystical mish-mash of the hoaxster Teilhard de Chardin of documented”Piltdown” complicity).
The most crucial distinctions to be considered, are, in summary, the following.
1.) Vernadsky’s usage of dynamics as applied to the notion of the Biosphere, appears on stage with startling simplicity and clarity, in 1935-36, in his defining the Biosphere .
To wit: although living processes are composed, chemically, of elements and isotopes of the Mendeleyev Periodic Table, the harmonically ordered behavior of these components in the functional characteristics of living processes, expresses a distinct principle, of life, not otherwise present in the role of the same elements in non-living processes. Thus, living processes are bounded, dynamically , by a universal principle of life which is not expressed in non-living chemistries. Hence, Vernadsky’s definition of the Biosphere.
2.) However, the issue does not end with the discovery of the principled distinction of a universal physical principle of life, a discovery comparable to Kepler’s uniquely original discovery of the principle of universal harmonics called gravitation. There is a higher principle than that of the Biosphere , a principle, of the Noösphere , which, as defined by the same method of scientific investigation of matters of principle, sets the human individual absolutely apart from, and above all other expressions of life as such.
3.) That higher, parallel exception is expressed, empirically, as the absolute, qualitative distinction of human from animal behavior. Here, the discovery of universal physical (and comparable Classical-artistic) principles, such as Kepler’s uniquely original discovery of the harmonics principle of universal gravitation, sets the human species apart from, and above all other forms of living processes.
In each instance, this higher principle , expressed only by human individuals and their society, is the power of discovery of man’s willful power in, and over the universe, a power which defines man and woman, as Genesis 1 describes this, as set apart from, and above all other living creatures, as man and woman made equally in the likeness, in nature, and character of duties as the servant of the Creator. This is the quality of power, unique to mankind, whose existence is illustrated by the uniqueness of Kepler’s discovery of that harmonic principle of universal gravitation which orders the composition of the Solar system as a whole.
Thus, if evil is defined as a quality of personality which places the individual, or his beliefs, as hostile to this likeness of man and woman to the Creator, then, Al Gore is, like the late Bertrand Russell, cast in the role of a truly evil person. I mean “evil,” as like that of the Olympian Zeus of Aeschylus’ Prometheus Bound, as like the “Belshazzar” of Rembrandt and of Robert Schumann’s setting of Heinrich Heine’s poem, or as like the “Ozymandias” which some fellow-students recognized in the personality of Al Gore: a likeness comparable to a legendary prototype of a purely evil principle.
Wherein, then, lies the essential evil of the Delphic Zeus? Of the Delphic Dionysus whom Gore currently follows? For what alleged offense does a Satanic Zeus condemn Prometheus? For giving mankind knowledge of the use of fire for mankind’s benefit (e.g., the power of nuclear fission)! Yet, “fire,” nuclear and otherwise, is only typical of the issue at stake. It is not the discovery of fire which was at issue; it was man’s discovered knowledge of the use of fire (and of the use of nuclear fission), which is the immediate issue of Aeschylus’ drama; the issue is man’s access to practical knowledge of the nature and use of, and due respect for, universal physical principles.
To restate that same point more appropriately: the issue is that of man’s knowledgeable access to knowledge of man’s own true nature, as made in the functional image of the Creator. It is not our ability to perform tricks, parlor or otherwise, which defines mankind; what defines mankind is this knowledge of our own true nature, which is necessary to separate the quality of our conscience from that of the mere beasts. Whoever would deny us that knowledge, as the intrinsically irrational philosophical Liberalism of such followers of Paolo Sarpi’s followers Hobbes, Locke, Mandeville, Quesnay, and Adam Smith do for economics, is acting as an expression of a principle of evil.
On this latter account, Aeschylus’ celebrated drama, Prometheus Bound , typifies the root of the mental and moral disease characteristic of the noted neo-Malthusian perversion of Albert Gore, Jr. That meaning is typified by the ancient use of the term “the oligarchical model,” the model of ancient Babylon, as the Christian Apostle John’s dream references the imperial Rome of Augustus, Tiberius, and Nero, as “the Whore of Babylon,” as typified, in turn, by the imperial systems of, combined, ancient Rome, Byzantium, the Venetian-Norman feudal order, and the Anglo-Dutch Liberal form of imperial thrust associated with the legacy of Paolo Sarpi, and also Al Gore, still today.The Oligarchical Principle
Thus, as I have just stated, above, the root of Al Gore’s decadent ideology, is the doctrine under which the majority of human beings are degraded in juridical, or comparable status, to that of “human cattle,” rather than what man and woman are described as being in Genesis 1. There lies the proof for the essential charge of “satanic,” against ideologue Gore and his like.
This charge against Al Gore and his like, is not original to me; it is the essential issue of all known ancient, medieval, and modern European civilization since the Homeric Iliad and Odyssey . It is the core of the division of ancient Greek society, by a great struggle between the legacy of the oligarchical system of Lycurgus’ Sparta, on the one side, and the humanistic standard associated with Solon of Athens and the Socratic-Platonic legacy, on the other.It is the struggle for civilization, against the influences typified by that Delphi cult of Apollo associated, still today, with the Delphi traditions of Gaea, Python, Pythia, Apollo, Dionysus, and of that great fraud of modern European civilization, and with the Nazi-paradigm of Friedrich Nietzsche’s Apollo-Dionysus myth, The Birth of Tragedy .
The great tragedian Aeschylus puts his finger on the core of that issue, in the surviving, middle section, Prometheus Bound , of his Prometheus Trilogy. The central issue of Prometheus Bound , and, implicitly, the Prometheus Trilogy in its original entirety, is the issue between the humanistic tradition of Solon, Socrates, and Plato, and the opposing, oligarchical tradition leading into things such as Adolf Hitler, as typified by the Lycurgan code, of the Delphic Apollo cult and the related dogmas of the certifier of the Hitler dictatorship, Professor Leo Strauss’ original sponsor Carl Schmitt. In fact, all of the crucial issues of the cultural and political history of European civilization, from about the Seventh Century B.C., to the present revival of the pro-fascist cult of so-called “environmentalism,” are a continuing expression of the issues posed by both Aeschylus’ Prometheus Bound and the work of the Pythagoreans, Socrates, Plato, et al., on the one side, and the influence of the tradition of Sophistry associated centrally with the Delphi Apollo cult, on the other.
Although the term “humanist” is also misused by many contemporary currents of opinion, the essential, useful meaning of that term, we must always emphasize, within the context of globally extended modern European cultures, is identical with the implications of Genesis 1:26-31. We may put the squabbles among sundry religious factions aside. That meaning, as I employ it as an issue of physical science, here, is, that there is a fundamental line of division, a division defined by a universal physical principle, between mankind and all relatively lower forms of life. Whereas, it has become conventional, to regard that principle, that dividing-line, as a convention of “received religious belief;” the fact is, that the distinction to be made, as I do here, is founded on physical-scientific certainty, as Vernadsky’s rigorous, experimental-physical principle of the Noösphere reflects that division. For us, who know of such matters, the existence of the efficient intention of a willful, all-subsuming Creator of our universe, is also a fact of a properly conceived physical science.
These considerations lead our attention to two, successive statements of principle respecting human nature. The first step, especially in the U.S.A. today, is to recognize the true genius of Frederick Douglass, as against all those foolish fellows, especially among the “macho-like” behavior of some descendants of slaves, who reject Douglass’s wisdom on this account.
In civilized forms of European cultural life, Classical science, as in the tradition of the methods of the Pythagoreans and Plato, as opposed to the reductionists, and Classical artistic composition, are the exemplary distinctions in practice of man from man mis-making himself, as the implicitly anti-African racist Al Gore and other reductionists do, in the image of a beast.Thus, in the fight against slavery, the first step to real freedom was a quality of literacy leading to Classical modes of physical-scientific and artistic progress, as Frederick Douglass’s own life and family attest to this. A man who sees himself as an oppressed beast, as Al Gore implicitly defines the Africa component of his current “Global Warming” hoax, remains a beast in his own mind. It is by freeing the mind of the feudal peasant, or slave, to be encouraged to think in terms of Classical forms of scientific and artistic knowledge, that the human individual becomes freed to assume a human identity in his or her own mind . ” In his or her own mind ,” is a crucial matter of principle, a matter of knowing one’s own true identity. Think of Frederick Douglass, as a notable example, of a self-freed slave as being like the Prometheus of Aeschylus’ Prometheus Bound .Contrast the policies of Frederick Douglass on this account, with the often wildly misguided, present-day opponents of Douglass on this issue of culture.
“Human culture” should be treated as having a fully legitimate, double meaning. It means, fundamentally, the progress of development of the specifically human cognitive powers of the human species; however, in opposition to all past and present efforts at the “globalization” tradition of the Biblical “Tower of Babel” (e.g., “Babble”), it also signifies the sovereignty of the experience of progress in sovereign development of the powers of each cultural branch of humanity as a whole; it must signify the interaction of specific “national” and kindred cultures with a scientifically adducible mainstream of progress in the potential relative population-density of the human species as a whole.2. The Modern “Oligarchical Model”
The presence of systemic evil within the known civilizations of mankind, is best known to qualified historians and the like by the name of “The Oligarchical Model,” the model associated with such examples as ancient Babylon and the Achaemenid empire. It is, otherwise, fairly described as “The Asian Model,” against which ancient Greece fought to defend its struggling civilization against conquest from imperial forces within Asia Minor. It was when an Athens whose youth had been polluted by the Sophistry which radiated from the Delphi Gaea/Apollo/Dionysus cult, and which had corrupted a generation of young Athenians of influential families, that that generation of ancient Grecian “Baby Boomers,” typified by Sophists such as Thrasymachus and Glaucon, prompted a corrupt Athens under Pericles, into a campaign of rape against other parts of Greek culture. In this fashion, Athens was self-destroyed, in large part, by the added crime of its judicial murder of Socrates, a crime perpetrated by an organization of ancient (almost Sarpian) Liberals known as “The Democratic Party of Athens.”
Despite the great leadership in morals, science and statecraft provided by Plato, ancient post-Peloponnesian War Greece never regained what Athens had been before Pericles’ corruptionnever, to the present day!However, the heritage of Classical Greece of Socrates and Plato lived on, chiefly under the benefit of Christianity, to erupt gloriously in the great A.D. 1439 session of the great ecumenical Council of Florence, and the launching of the modern nation-state republic and methods of modern physical science introduced under the leadership of the greatest, most moving genius of that time, Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa.
From this Renaissance came the first sovereign commonwealth states of Europe, Louis XI’s France and Henry VII’s England. Unfortunately, the relics of the medieval oligarchical, ultramontane system returned in a Venetian resurgence marked by the Fall of Constantinople and the subsequent events under the anti-Semitic Grand Inquisitor Tomás de Torquemada. Over the course of the following century, globally extending European civilization, inspired by the plottings of Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa, reached across the Atlantic and elsewhere as defined by a conflict between the commonwealth legacy of the great ecumenical Council of Florence, against the reformed Venetian oligarchical model associated with the Liberalism of Paolo Sarpi and his Anglo-Dutch Liberal followers.
The developments of 1789-1815 in Europe left the world at large dominated by two contending products of English-speaking civilization, the American System of political-economy, represented, respectively, chiefly, by the U.S.A., and the opposing, Anglo-Dutch Liberal system of financier oligarchical hegemonies. This conflict within the English-speaking systems, between the legacy of the American System and the opposed Liberal systems, has been the essential pivot of world history taken as a whole, from February 1763 to the present time.
Over this interval, most notably from February 1763 to the present, the dominant cultural forces of the planet considered as a single whole, have been divided between the implicitly Anglo-Dutch Liberal system, the paramount oligarchical system of today’s planet considered at large, and that system’s only serious global rival thus far, the American System of political-economy as typified by names such as Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, John Quincy Adams. Abraham Lincoln, and Franklin D. Roosevelt.
As I have repeatedly emphasized heretofore, the victory of the U.S.A, led by President Abraham Lincoln, in defeating the Confederacy puppet of London’s Lord Palmerston, not only established the U.S.A. as an independent nation-state power in the world at large, but rallied nations of continental Eurasia, and elsewhere, as in Bismarck’s Germany, Mendeleyev’s Russia, and Japan, around the idea of the American System of political-economy as the alternative to the imperial global hegemony of the Anglo-Dutch Liberal monetary-financial system.
Since the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg, and, most emphatically 1865-1877, the grand politics and its related warfare within the planet as a whole have been organized around a so-called “geopolitical” conflict between the challenged supremacy of the Anglo-Dutch Liberal maritime system and the rivals of British imperialism located chiefly within the Americas and the continent of Eurasia. The special significance of this form of chronic global conflict, is that the Anglo-Dutch Liberal form of imperialist monetary-financial system, is a product of the long sweep of oligarchical rule in European affairs since the Peloponnesian War.
Consider the immediate expression of that conflict, today.Shultz, Kissinger, & Rohatyn
For those who care to look at the evidence, the evidence is, that the design of what became the “Baby Boomer” generation, was the product of a presently continuing determination by relevant Anglo-Dutch Liberal fanatics, such as FDR-hater Felix Rohatyn and his cronies in the Pinochet coup d’etat and Operation Condor butchery, George Shultz and Henry A. Kissinger. That crime in the Southern Cone was done by them as part of their continuing commitment to ensure that no new President Franklin Roosevelt would ever appear in U.S. history again.
For precisely this reason, I have been hated, personally by the Liberal oligarchy, and increasingly so, since my celebrated, late 1971 Queen’s College debate against the Congress for Cultural Freedom’s advocate, Professor Abba Lerner. It is not only that I have been committed to return to the standpoint of President Franklin Roosevelt’s revival of the American System of political-economy out of the rubbish-heap created by the Coolidge and Hoover Presidencies, but, as Lerner’s close associate, Professor Sidney Hook, commented upon my complete defeat of Lerner in that debate, I had shown myself an “effective advocate.” What my adversaries regarded as either my successes, or near-successes, prompted leading circles in the U.S.A. and abroad to regard me as dangerously competent in my profession, especially after the SDI affair; for that, to the present date, they have never forgiven me.
The witting use of the morally degenerate existentialism of such cronies of former Nazi Professor Martin Heidegger (at the Hitler period’s Freiburg University) as Horkheimer, Adorno, and Arendt, and also the notorious Paris Review of John Train, Teddy Goldsmith, et al., among those deployed to conduct the mass-brainwashing project for Europe known as the Congress of Cultural Freedom (CCF), points clearly to both the intention and the method by which a certain “white collar” stratum within the generation born between 1945 and 1956, would be pre-conditioned to produce the frankly fascist quality of rioting “68ers” and “environmentalist” movement of today.
The policy used by the enemies of Franklin Roosevelt’s memory, was a policy of corrupting a newborn post-war generation from, chiefly, middle-class white-collar households, in Sophist doctrines such as “information theory” and the existentialist dogma of “the authoritarian personality,” to bring into being exactly what was brought into the streets of the leading cities of the U.S.A., Paris, Berlin, and elsewhere during the riotous days of 1968. Those and related facts of that period, underline the fully witting intent behind the mass-brainwashing of those dupes constituting what is known today as the “Baby Boomer” generation.
In mid-1968 I was startled into recognizing the continuing importance this, after a second campus “strike” at New York’s Columbia University, in late Spring, 1968. This second campus eruption, as distinct from the first, showed itself as a recurrence of what I knew of the sociology of the pre-Hitler Berlin “trolley car” strike, during which the Communist and Nazi party had been swapping memberships, back and forth, virtually by the week. Here we saw, in Berlin then, and in the U.S. and western and central Europe during the Spring of 1968 and beyond, the specific doctrine of Nietzschean Dionysian violence of which Nazi and similar political movements and revolutions are born, such as the movements surfacing as the “anti-fa” violence in Germany today. My Summer 1968 publication, The New Left, Social Control, and Fascism , which documented my concern of late Spring and early Summer 1968, made that point.
The reference to the Mark Rudd faction of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) as “left-wing,” or even “radical left,” misses the point. As we compare the pro-violence movements spawned from places such as Hamburg during the time of the terrorist murderers among the Baader-Meinhof gang, and the right-wing spawn of the same pedigree in Saxony and Berlin today, this should remind us, as the history of the French Revolution should have done, that the key feature of the Jacobin killer-mobs of 1790s Paris was their Phrygian caps, the hallmark of the terrorism of the followers of the civilization-hating Delphi Dionysus cult.
It is what you are for, not what you might choose as a temporary target of your role within a raging mob, which defines what you really are; it is what you are being used to attempt to bring into being, whether you know what you are actually doing, or not.Gore & the Recipe for Fascism
The danger today, is that, under the influence of the anti-Roosevelt crafting of the “white collar” Baby-Boomer generation, which was manufactured, by social-cultural programming, from the ranks of many born during 1945-1956, there emerged the core of a fascist political current, in the guise of the extremists of the following of former Vice-President Al Gore, today. Gore’s ideological types, on this account, have all the same essential characteristics of those Anglo-Dutch Liberals, and their American fellow-travelers of financial capital, who created Hitler’s fascism out of the environmentalist (e.g., “eugenics”) cults of the 1920s and early 1930s.
This echo of the eugenics used to bring the fascist movements of the 1920s and 1930s into being, is precisely what the Gore, speaking in the name of “environmentalism,” promotes as “green genocide” against black Africa today. Such was the impact of the influence of Britain’s Prime Minister Tony Blair, and his close accomplice Al Gore, as U.S. Vice-President, on U.S. Africa policy for Uganda, Sudan, and elsewhere, during that past period.
Contrary to the widespread myth today, the patriots who actually designed our constitutional U.S. Republic were never “leftists,” never Jacobins, but republicans in the tradition of the great Fifteenth-Century Renaissance, the defining of both the modern nation-state by Nicholas of Cusa, the founding of modern science by Cusa, and the founding of the first modern commonwealth republics under France’s Louis XI and England’s Henry VII. Our U.S. republic was unique in the respect that it led in carrying the best aspirations of the commonwealth system of nation-state republics to be planted on soil, in the Americas, at a prudent distance from the oligarchical systems which ruled Europe culturally then, and, for the greater part, still today.
In that specifically American tradition, U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt’s leadership saved the world from a more or less permanent Hell under the reign of the oligarchical system represented by the figure of Adolf Hitler, that despite the Harrimans and other anglophile oligarchical types descended from the tradition of the 1763 British East India Company’s American Tories.
So, with the death of President Franklin Roosevelt, we of the U.S.A. and western and central Europe, were destroyed afresh, as Sophistry ruined Pericles’ Athens; an entire generation of our white-collar class born between 1945 and 1956, drilled in the systemic corruption by the new, anti-Franklin Roosevelt Sophistry thus expressed by the 1945-1956 brainwashing of the “white collar” generation. It was a “brainwashing” intended, by the followers of Bertrand Russell and others, to produce the still reigning “Baby Boomer” generation of 1968-2007 today. To a large degree, since 1968, that scheme of corruption of our nation has succeeded. Relative to the mid-1960s, we are a ruined, looted nation.
What Al Gore represents, in particular, is a picaresque reflection of the essence of the oligarchical model traced in our national history from traitors such as Lord Shelburne-backed crony of the British Foreign Office’s Jeremy Bentham, the traitor Aaron Burr who founded the Bank of Manhattan. This connection to Gore has been shown most clearly by that, almost swamp-creature-like, self-disgraced Tennessean’s “mint-julip” racist, and “environmentalist” (i.e., eugenics)” orientation, in alliance with Britain’s Fabian imperial Prime Minister Tony Blair, against the black-skinned population and nations of sub-Saharan Africa.
However, it is to be emphasized, that, in Gore’s case, the silliness comes less from the hooch, than the “branch water.” Shades of the 1970s collusion among the clippings-service mentalities represented then by the fellow-Confederates Gore, neo-Jacobin Newt Gingrich, and the pathetic Tofflers! It might be said, that one could get Al Gore out of the swamp, but it would be much more difficult to get the swamp out of Al Gore.
If I seem to view Gore as so much rubbish, take note of the fact that everything I say on that account is true, but, also, that I am obliged to do so to put the emphasis truthfully where it belongs. Gore is essentially an intrinsically expendable, mere errand-boy, not the master. Expose Gore for the miserable creature which he is, but save your fire for the global financier circles which are the architects of the immediate fascist danger to the planet now, as financier interests of the same breed, such as Felix Rohatyn, which, like Hitler’s British sponsor, the Bank of England’s Montagu Norman, and the Bank for International Settlement’s Hjalmar Schacht, led, among numerous other Anglo-American, Dutch, French, and other financier circles, in creating the Hitler regime. So, the hedge funds, an operation centered in the British Cayman Islands, were created today. We must take Gore fully into account for what he represents; but , we must not let him be treated as a scapegoat for the truly evil masters which he, like programmed and scripted wind-up toy, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, merely serves. This time, the financier circles like those which created Hitler must not escape the accounting for their crimes.
The essential enemy of civilization today, is the same oligarchical model which induced Classical Athens to destroy itself, in much the same way the U.S. has been already largely destroyed through fools in the U.S. government who permitted the nation to be sucked into those wars, first in Indo-China, and, now, under a mentally impaired G.W. Bush, Jr., in Southwest Asia: wars by means of which our republic was set up to be self-destroyed, as the oligarchical faction of the time of Pericles induced Athens to destroy itself in the Peloponnesian War.
This brings us to the oligarchical issue as such.Zeus’ Oligarchical Model
The oligarchical model, on which the Roman and Byzantine empires were premised, is an echo of the medieval ultramontane system run by a partnership of Venetian financiers and Norman chivalry, is also, like the Anglo-Dutch Liberal world system centered still in London today. These imperialist systems were premised on the assumption that the majority of the human population must be kept in the juridical status of either wild, or hunted cattle, rather than as persons in the sense of Genesis 1:26-31. The essential feature of this system, is not monarchy as such, but oligarchy: a code of behavior shared among allied oligarchies, an arrangement under which the majority of humanity was kept in the status of virtual brutes, either tamed drudges to be herded, or wild beasts to be hunted down.
Aeschylus’ Prometheus Bound captures the essence of that system of oligarchism. Aeschylus pins the issue of law on the matter of the essential distinction of man from beast. That issue of law, is the potential of the human individual, not only the potential to discover a universal physical principle, such as the principle of fire, nuclear fission, or gravitation, but to use the knowledge of that discovered principle to mankind’s advantage as a species.
The infuriated oligarch, such as the Olympian Zeus, storms: “You will discover nothing of that sort! You will do as we bid you, except as you do nothing which would be strange to the habits of your ancestors before you!” Thus, Prometheus (“forethought” = science) is the person most hated, and most feared by Zeus. Thus, we have the Simon Legrees of today, the Al Gores and others who herd a duped, half-crazed population into destroying the economy on which their own and the children’s lives depend.
To be free today, especially if your skin is black, is to be freed from the tyrannical intentions of a frankly evil Al Gore.
Thus, the Olympian law of the U.S. slave-states made it the rule to murder any slave who learned to read and write, or any person who assisted the slave in learning to read and write. In opposition to that, Frederick Douglass focused directly on the essence of the slave-system, the truly human person’s ability and right to discover the store of knowledge of scientific and Classical cultural knowledge for practice of earlier generations of mankind, and to develop and employ such practice for the advancement of humanity as a whole. The slave who simply rebelled physically against tyranny, might be free, temporarily, in his or her body, but not in his or her mind. To be free, it is first necessary to be human, to enjoy and express those creative powers of physical science and Classical culture which distinguish the truly free individual from the chimpanzee.
Aeschylus’ Prometheus Bound thus points to the most crucial issue of what is rightly termed “natural law” in society. The discovery of a principle of “natural law” is expressed to the advantage of the human species, in the form of the ability of the human individual to make, and to employ an experimentally valid discovery of a universal physical, or comparable artistic principle, a quality of potential which is the functional distinction of men and women categorically from beasts.We are speaking, therefore, of the Noösphere, a domain whose distinguishing characteristics exist entirely outside the domain of animal ecology.
Therefore, competent economic science is subsumed under the notion of what Vernadsky defines as the Noösphere . In this setting, competent economic science is expressed not as a function of monetary processes, but as a function of physical-economic processes.
However, what is crucial in all this is the notion of the ontologically infinitesimal . This is the essential distinction of man from beast, or from man driven into a state of mind and conduct like that of a beast. The typification of such an infinitesimal is Johannes Kepler’s discovery of a harmonically defined universal physical principle of gravitation, as ordering the relationship of bodies within the Solar system. The center of this is the work reflected in the combination of his The New Astronomy and World Harmonics . These were works developed by Kepler on the foundations laid by Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa’s De Docta Ignorantia and other relevant writings on the method of modern physical science.
However, to state the case before us now, in the relevant technical terms, I repeat what I have frequently said in earlier locations here, as matters of definitions:
To situate the relevant functions of modern physical science in respect to a science of physical economy, we rely on the complete overthrow of the entire edifice of Euclidean geometry and its outcomes, an overthrow which was implicitly accomplished by Bernhard Riemann’s development of the foundations of an anti-mechanical-statistical, dynamical system of physical hypergeometry, as this is reflected in V.I. Vernadsky’s development of the notion of the respective dynamics of the Biosphere and Noösphere.
By dynamics , we should understand the implicitly axiom-free, pre-Euclidean method of mathematical physics, called Sphaerics , which is associated with the Pythagoreans and other circles of Socrates and Plato. The active principle of Sphaerics , called dynamis by the Pythagoreans, was revived by Gottfried Leibniz, as dynamics (as noted above), to eradicate the folly of the mechanical-statistical method of Descartes and the empiricists generally. Leibniz’s definition as carried forward by Riemann, is central to the work of Vernadsky, and is, retrospectively, as Albert Einstein indicates, the implied method of Kepler.
Keep that definition in view; I shall explain its implications as we proceed, as follows.
Begin with a focus on Kepler’s discovery of universal gravitation’s function as an ontological infinitesimal . This discovered principle, as elaborated for the harmonic composition of the Solar system, is a principle which, in its essential identity, efficiently encloses the universe, and therefore appears to bound that universe, implicitly, as being actually, ontologically, intrinsically finite but without external boundaries. Gravitation’s pervasive efficiency is therefore expressed, in detail, ontologically, as an infinitesimal. This was the basis for Kepler’s prescribed task for future mathematicians: to develop a mathematical calculus of such ontological infinitesimals. Notably, the neo-Cartesian empiricists, such as D’Alembert. Euler, and Lagrange, attempted to outlaw such infinitesimals. Implicitly, Carl F. Gauss put the infinitesimals back into the physical complex domain, in his 1799 doctoral dissertation, and Riemann made this explicit from the publication of his 1854 habilitation dissertation, onwards.
The most crucial implication of the immediately foregoing set of definitions, is that the difference between man and beast, is located ontologically in this notion of the infinitesimal as I have just described that above. All those discovered, and otherwise discoverable universally efficient physical principles, which define those characteristic modes of human action which do not exist for lower forms of life, occur in human practice as expressions of such infinitesimals.
The human discovery of such a universal physical principle has two qualitative forms of expression, and occurs either as simply a passive discovery of the existence of a principle in fact, or as a qualitative change in the form and effect of human behavior employing knowledge of that discovered principle.
The types of such universal principles are also two. They are expressed in the form of human direct physical action on nature, or in the form of Classical artistic principles of composition, as implicitly revolutionary progress in the mode of specifically social relations. The relationship between Kepler’s discoveries of harmonic principles of astronomy, the harmonics of the periodic table, and so on, are one quality of relationship; the ironical relationship of Keplerian harmonic dynamics to the ground-basis of J.S. Bach’s method of composition, typify the other quality. Scientific discovery informs the hand; Classical artistic composition, as in music and Classical poetry and drama, informs the human soul.
That much just stated summarily on these points, we now turn our attention to two distinct, but intertwined subject-matters. The purpose of this brief set of excursions, is to indicate the way in which the evil consequences of Gore’s ideology must be foreseen, and avoided. The most crucial of these considerations is the nature of the ontologically actual infinitesimal which corresponds to a principle of the universe, both as a principle of physical-economic practice as such, and as a principle of social relations as such.3. Science & Economy
Be optimistic, as measured in deeds, rather than in wishes.
From out of the wreckage which President Franklin D. Roosevelt inherited from such predecessors as Presidents Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover, came the mightiest economic and military power the world had ever seen, that during about a dozen years under Franklin Roosevelt’s leadership. Although what the U.S. could have become under a continuation of Franklin Roosevelt’s clear intentions for the post-war world, was lost, the uncompleted system which the world inherited from Franklin Roosevelt’s revolution, continued, by itself, to serve the U.S.A. and others well, until the developments unleashed by a wave of high-level assassinations, including that of President John F. Kennedy, and the launching of a protracted Indo-China War, in which the U.S. actually brought about its own political defeat in an unnecessary and prolonged, asymmetric war.
Thus, after the assassination of President Kennedy, the U.S.A. largely ruined itself.
Since the inauguration of President Richard Nixon, and the rabid anti-Franklin Roosevelt economic and social reforms of the 1969-1981 interval, the U.S. economy has disintegrated, far more by the foolish policy-changes introduced by the complicit, increasing incompetence of its own successive 1964-2007 governments, than through any other causes.
The continuing causes for this economic collapse of what had been, previously, the world’s most powerful physical economy, were chiefly the result of the intentional 1964-1981 destruction, chiefly by the combined initiatives of the British and U.S. governments, of every principal pillar of monetary and physical-economic policy on which the 1933-1963 successes had been premised.
Therefore, the way in which this 1964-1981 collapse was organized, is of exceptional relevance for the understanding of the leading topic of this present report.
In the meantime, a frankly pro-Satanic Bertrand Russell’s utopian plan for world government, was brought into being as the threat of an unprovoked nuclear attack on the Soviet Union. That Russell scheme failed badly under the Administration of President Harry Truman. There were numerous reasons for this outcome, including the surprising successes of the Soviet Union, in developing not only its own sovereign nuclear-fission weapons capability (as distinct from the version copied from U.S. and British sources), and also the Soviet precedence in developing a deploying thermonuclear weapons capability, when the U.S.A. had not. However, there were many other considerations; Truman sullenly retreated and left the field to the Administration of President Dwight Eisenhower.
Bertrand Russell did not give up. To a relatively large degree, it was through his efforts, that the world was steered into what became the 1962 missiles-crisis.
Russell was essentially a British imperialist, but of a particular kind.
He hated the U.S.A., and gave his whole efforts to destroying that U.S.A., that to the intended relevant imperial advantage of the Fabian version of an Anglo-Dutch Liberal system of actually imperial world government.Russell’s primary goals were the destruction of the institution of the sovereign nation-state, and the wrecking of science (except as a secret of a small oligarchical super-elite) by outlawing the principles on which the successes of modern European science and technological progress in the productive powers of labor had depended more or less absolutely. Russell, in his own way was what was called, during the 1920s and 1930s, as a “eugenicist;” he was of the same persuasion on subject-matter of population-control and regular cullings of the human population, as the Nazis then, and the declared impulses of the pro-racist ideologues associated with Al Gore today.
Russell’s principal target was the destruction of the U.S.A., especially of those principled features of the American System of political-economy on which the rise of President Abraham Lincoln’s U.S.A. to challenge the British Empire’s supremacy, had been premised.
At bottom, Russell was a British oligarchical variety of a Nietzschean, much like Russell’s foolish follower, Al Gore today. On this account, as shown by his attachments to Prime Minister Tony Blair, Al Gore is much more a virtual agent of British Fabianism, than an American. For on this account, Gore is thus a leading candidate for the role of an enemy within our nation’s ranks.
It is in those terms of reference that the deadly challenge which Gore and his like represented for the continued existence of our U.S.A. today, must be seriously considered. What, for example, is that American System of President Franklin Roosevelt which such former Pinochet accomplices as George Shultz, Henry Kissinger, and Felix Rohatyn assisted in wrecking, through their support to Nazi-like Pinochet at relevant times? What is the difference between the brilliantly successful American System of political-economy, and the version of the perennially failed British system of political-economy which has reigned, so ruinously, in the Washington, D.C. policy-shaping of George Shultz, Henry A. Kissinger, et al., since the inauguration of President Richard M. Nixon?The Highlights of Our Ruin
The most crucial of the relevant elements of the change which came with the 1962 missiles-crisis and the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, must be traced from no later than Soviet General Secretary Khrushchev’s dispatch of four representatives to a London meeting of Bertrand Russell’s World Parliamentarians for World Government.
Recall earlier Soviet reaction to Bertrand Russell’s public call, in 1946, for a preventive nuclear attack on the Soviet Union, an attack which Russell identified publicly as intended, by him, to serve the purpose of establishing world government, and the elimination of the institution of the sovereign nation-state. Russell’s leading role in promoting a policy of so-called “preventive nuclear attack” on the Soviet Union had not prompted kindly utterances from the Soviet government of Joseph Stalin.
Thus, the gushing affection for the same Russell, which the Khrushchev representatives expressed at the London meeting of Russell’s World Parliamentarians, did, and should have lifted eyebrows. Were there any reason to doubt the significance of the Khrushchev representatives expressed affection for Russell, Khrushchev’s rude break-off of the Paris meeting with Eisenhower and Charles de Gaulle, should be seen, together with the earlier Khrushchev approach to Russell’s London Parliamentarians’ meeting, as warning of the true implications of the later Cuba missiles crisis, and the repeated assassination attempts against President Charles de Gaulle, the orchestrated Profumo affair and the ouster of Britain’s Prime Minister Macmillan, and the assassination of President Kennedy himself.
To understand Khrushchev’s sometimes strange adventures in Soviet domestic and foreign policy, we must recognize that, from the moment of the death of President Franklin Roosevelt, the circles around Winston Churchill were determined to do all possible, as rapidly as possible, to destroy the life’s work of that President Roosevelt, especially Roosevelt’s plan for creating a decolonized world in which the British Empire and its like would go out of existence and a U.S.-sponsored community of sovereign nation-states would bring the evils of colonizations and imperialism to an end. The assassination of President Kennedy was the crucial development which brought the wrecking of the U.S. economy and U.S. power to fruition, as through the subsequent launching of the official U.S. war in Indo-China. Without the dubious role of Khrushchev, this process could not have gone as it did.
Continuing the account: by no accident, after a brief, and indecent interval, the first British government of Prime Minister Harold Wilson was ushered into leadership of the UK. Wilson’s first ministry uncorked the destruction of the UK economy and the crisis of Pound Sterling, which set into motion the international monetary crises of 1967-68. Meanwhile, the combined eruption of the Baby Boomers from the university campuses of the U.S.A. and western Europe, and the Baby Boomers’ hostility to farmers and industrial operatives, shattered the Democratic Party, and thus made the way for the destruction of the U.S. dollar-system and the U.S. economy, this through the radical destruction of all of the crucial elements on which the post-1933 achievements of the U.S. economy had depended.
After 1968, Democratic Party politics themselves became, in effect, increasingly anti-labor and anti-farmer, as the Baby Boomers who had rioted on the streets in 1968 and beyond, transferred political power and influence inside the Party to the increasing hegemony of an increasingly Baby Boomer-dominated, upper twenty percentile of the family income-brackets, leaving the lower eighty percentile to slide, increasingly, into the poverty associated with the arranged decline of the farmer, the ruin of basic economic infrastructure, and the increasing pauperization of what had been the great agro-industrial and urban complexes developed under the initiatives of President Franklin Roosevelt. The sordid role of Felix Rohatyn in the New York City “Big MAC” affair, typifies this to the present day. Thus, the U.S. was driven into bankruptcy, in a long wave, beginning about 1967-68, and continued up to the present situation of a desperately impoverished lower eighty percentile of a de-industrialized U.S. which, itself, were gripped by a process of forced collapse of national welfare and a correlated waning of popular political-economic sanity.
These years of ridding the U.S.A. of its Franklin Roosevelt legacy, have become increasingly stormy and ruinous times.
So, presently, there is no visible future for the continued existence of the U.S.A., or, for that matter, civilization generally, unless we return, immediately, to the kinds of monetary and economic-management policies of the 1945-1963 post-World War II period. We must return to economic policies dedicated to a regulated “fair trade” economy, rather than the silly “free trade” system, which has ruined us so awesomely over the recent thirty-six years. On this account, the continued existence of the U.S.A. as a functioning republic, and its economy, depends now, immediately and absolutely, on the abandonment of the recent, anti-Franklin Roosevelt trends in economic policy and global outlook, back toward an appropriately modern echo of the principled features of the achievements of that Roosevelt administration.
The crucial features of any rescue of the U.S.A. from the presently onrushing threat of a general, global economic breakdown-crisis, would echo the outlook of, and lessons learned from President Franklin Roosevelt’s response to the crisis of 1933 and beyond. However, although the details of a needed policy-change for today are not quite the same as suited the circumstances of the 1930s and early 1940s, the underlying principles of FDR’s recovery measures are implicitly the same, for today, as the pillars of the successful changes made in his time.The American System
The leading lie taught by pompous asses to all credulous fools available in universities and elsewhere today, is that the American System of political-economy is an outgrowth of the teachings of such Anglo-Dutch Liberal ideologues as Bernard Mandeville, Adam Smith, and British Foreign Office “Secret Committee” figure Jeremy Bentham.
In fact, in a successful form of real economy there is no principled correlation between prices expressed in “free trade” modes and relative physical values of income and output. The American System of political-economy, as it reigned as a standard of public policy in the U.S. dollar-system, from President Franklin Roosevelt’s reforms until the ruinous administrations of Presidents Nixon and Carter, was what was termed during the informed 1950s as a “fair trade” system. A “fair trade” system was understood then, as it should be now, as one in which government regulation joined with well-informed private business practice, to bring the relative prices of goods produced by aid of long-term physical investments, into conformity with the goals of a general rise in technological progress and output-rates for a growing national economy, and for a rising national physical income-level of households as a whole.
The American System of political-economy, as in opposition to the lunatic teachings of Adam Smith, is premised historically on the policies of the first modern commonwealth form of nation-state economy, that of France under Louis XI. Louis, no silly George W. Bush, Jr., himself, avoided wars by submitting to the demands for French bribes from France’s enemies. Louis did this, in order to give France the peace through which Louis promoted fairs and other devices for encouraging that surge in prosperity though which both the quality and relative productivity of agriculture and manufacturing virtually exploded upward by aid of means such as regular fairs. Louis XI’s approach was echoed for England by Louis’ admirer Henry VII.
These two pioneering commonwealths, Louis XI’s France and Henry VII’s England, represented a new form of political nationhood erupting to transform Europe into the economic center of the entire planet from that point onward. As the given name suggests, it is the improvement of the general welfare of the present and future population as a whole, which is the general law of practice by such forms of government. This form was a reflection of two leading scientific principles elaborated by Cardinal Nicholas of Cusa, who had been a central intellectual figure of the great ecumenical Council of Florence. The rise of modern Europe from the refuse-heap of Venetian-Norman feudalism, was made possible by ideas, by Cusa’s relevant contributions, for our purposes here, were chiefly four.The principle of the perfectly sovereign nation-state republic. (E.g., his Concordantia Catholica )
The science-driver principle, from which all competent modern science, such as those of Leonardo da Vinci, Johannes Kepler, and Gottfried Leibniz was derived. (e.g., his De Docta Ignorantia .)
His dialog on the subject of ecumenical peace among differing religious faiths. ( De Pace Fidei ).
and,His proposal for trans-oceanic voyages of exploration, to bring the peoples of the world as a whole into cooperation. His plan for that policy was obtained and employed by Christopher Columbus for the famous voyages of Trans-Atlantic exploration.
However, this impetus, radiated by Cusa et al. from the proceedings leading into and through the great ecumenical Council of Florence, encountered the contrary forces of a resuscitated power for evil, the Venetian financier-oligarchy which had reigned over the quasi-imperial form of the medieval feudal system. The role of the evil Tomás de Torquemada, as in the expulsion of the Jews from Spain, was exemplary. Thus, during the entire interval of religious warfare, from 1492 until the 1648 Peace of Westphalia, Europe was torn internally by homicidal religious conflicts orchestrated by the resurgent Venetian financier oligarchy.
The failure of the pro-medievalist Venetian faction to cope with the challenge of modern European scientific and technological progress gave way to the rising influence of the Venetian Paolo Sarpi, a Sarpi who remains today the actual author of the systems of Anglo-Dutch Liberal political and social thought throughout most of the world today. In this process, the colonization of the Americas, created an opportunity for the fulfillment of the intentions of the reforms by such as Cusa, Louis XI, et al., an opportunity situated at a relevant distance from the rule of both reactionary Iberian influences, and the rising Anglo-Dutch Liberal power of Sarpi’s followers in Europe. The ideas on which the U.S. Federal republic’s existence has been grounded were, virtually all European ideas and European values; buta very large, and very important “but”at a relatively advantageous distance from the reach, even still today, of the European oligarchical classes as such.
So, the ideas on which the U.S. republic was grounded, were essentially the ideas spread in Europe from the radiated effects of the great Council of Florence, as these effects were uplifted in quality by the great influence which the leading scientist Gottfried Leibniz had in shaping the world-outlook, and ideas, of what become the constitutional order of Benjamin Franklin and his circles.
However, in the meantime, the course of developments radiating from France through the 1789-1815 interval, have, thus far, prevented the successful development, with temporary exceptions, of durable forms of republican self-government in western and central Europe. The passage of continental European development, from the influence of the Franklin Roosevelt outlook of the early post-war decades, to the resumed hegemony of Anglo-Dutch Liberalism, during more recent decades, especially since the rampage of Prime Minister Thatcher and her French asset, Mitterrand, during 1990-1992, has created a present situation, suc

Brown claims reaching ‘lunatic’ levels
by IanPJ on Thu 09 Jul 2009 05:47 BST | Permanent Link | Cosmos
The claims being made by Gordon Brown are now reaching levels clearly attributable to a lunatic. I honestly think it is time for this man to be sectioned and taken away to somewhere quiet.
PRIME Minister Gordon Brown today hailed a “historic” agreement between the world’s major industrialised nations that they will not allow global temperatures to rise by more than 2C and will cut their emissions of greenhouse gases 80 per cent by 2050.
Does this lunatic have any idea what removing that much Co2 from the atmosphere would do the planet? even if it is a totally unrealistic or unattainable target. The trees and forests would begin to die, plant life in general would begin to wither, in turn the oxygen levels would reduce, massive increases in respiratory problems including asthma, bronchitis and pneumonia, in short it would be like living at the top of the Himalayas, everyone short of breath.
The fact that global temperatures have not risen since 2000 seems to escape everyone.
As his term in office is getting shorter, in an attempt to cling desperately onto power, his claims are getting wilder and more outrageous. And to be perfectly honest, shame on the media outlets who lower themselves to reporting this crap.
Please take him away before he does some real damage.

Ian Plimer: Global warming is the secular religion of today
“In his latest book, Heaven and Earth, Australian geologist Ian Plimer sets out the “missing science” of climate change and challenges the assumption that the world’s warming is down to human activity. Far from heating up to dangerous levels, the planet is in a lull in an ice age that began 37 million years ago, he says.
“True, the climate is changing within these cyclical parameters, but less dramatically than it has at other times in Earth’s history and with none of the catastrophic consequences talked up by the doom-and-gloom merchants. “There is always change going on,” he says. “I don’t dispute that. The extent and origin of it are another matter.”
“Plimer puts forward the case, in 485 closely argued pages, that far too much emphasis has been given to the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide in the scientific modelling of climate change.”
