A Clear and Present Danger

Global warming is much more of a problem than we have previously believed it was. For a while in the seventies and eighties we had what was called "global dimming" where only nine tenths of the normal sunlight hit the planet do to particulate pollution. Not to go into too many detales but the particles alone blocked out some sun but they formed clouds that didn't produce rain because the water dropplets wern't allowed to grow to their normal size. All these extra clouds reflected more sunlight back into space. This "global dimming" phenominum masked the fact of global warming, and now that we are clearing up our particulate pollution, the warming of the planet will become more and more pronounced. Hence perhaps it's not a good idea to expand oil drilling or fossle fuel consumption in any way. As you know the "tipping point" will occur when the Greenland ice cap melts and less sunlight will be reflected back up into space and global warming will accelerate. The new models with this new information now way that global warming could raise the planet's temperature eighteen degrees on the average. At these levels life as we know it cannot exist. I am not saying these people from World Net Daily and the like are "bad people". They are merely uninformed. The important thing to remember is that we do not have a lot of time to remedy this problem. Were it not that "global dimming" masked the problem during the eighties we could have been doing something about it before now.

Henry Morgan once said of a John Wayne charactor, "What I'll do on your grave after you're gone won't pass for flowers". We know what scam artists the Clintons are. One thing we know now that we didn't befeore was that their marriage is a lot stronger than we imagined. So much so that Bill Clinton cannot forgive Obama for his wife's defeat. No doubt Bill was looking forward to all the perks he would get once his wife was in the White House. Actually we should rejoyce and dance on the graves of both of them. We have two pathalogical liars and manipulators purged from the political system. Now you have Mc Cain picking up the mantle of her dirty tricks playing the racist card. The Clintons appealed to racist white working stiffs and aging militent feminists, who both say now they are going over to the Mc Cain camp. We can do without them. Obama can build up his own base from regestering new votors. Of course the consensus is that Obama is going to be careful to pick a real Nobody for Vice President because he has so little "gravatas" himself, that he can't risk even a moderately well known candidate outshining him as Vice President. We always heard that the Vice Presidents would be picked before the Peking Olympics began, but it seems that assumption is erronious.

Kenneth Kopland was on this morning early. He talked about how Abraham Lincoln's father, Thomas Lincoln, was an ignorant and abusive man. He singled out Abe for abuse perhaps because he doubted that he was his son. They say Abraham's fate was saved by Thomas's new wife who acted kindly tword little Abe, bringing him books. It kind of reminds me of Max Brady on that soap opera searching for his sister. And the sister plays the Dad like a violin getting all sorts of money from him. Meanwhile little Maxwell was thrown in the street and adopted out to a foster home. If we know anything about Jehovah our God, it is that he is compassionate and delivers people frou their troubles. This being said, one of the most quintessential evil people on the face of the earth right now is Jesus Christ on KFI. He doesn't either teach or practice the sermon on the mount or the Golden Rule. I doubt the term "deliverance" has ever crossed his lips. He doesn't believe much in either prayer, the Holy Spirit, or the Second Coming, and neither does he believe in healing or "so called" deliverance minestries. He has tought that Satan isn't real. He further has taught that we "need evil" because if we didn't have it, how would the heroes of the world have ever come into existance? Jesus train of cause and effect seems to be that valor and heroism comes FROM evil. Hence we need it. There is also a hericy known as marcionism we have talked about before. Some teach, "When you accept Jesus you are seated with God (already) in heavenly places". Hence meracles and deliverance in the here and now is unnecessary because this life and the world is either not real or "evil" or else both. I could say that "I was talking with God yesterday" but Jesus doesn't believe in that either. Let's just say that I'm not sharing everything that "God" shared with me yesterday and leave it at that.

The Following was typed Monday August 4th.

This is Monday afternoon August 4, 2008 and it’s Becky’s birthday and she id all of 55 today. Age is what you call the great equalizer or males revenge, because they look at the women they were once attracted to and say “I was attracted to that?” Montell Williams is on. These girls who look so young and innocent and hence “marketable” now will feel differently as the years pass and their “street value” goes down markedly. I have three cigarettes left. I went for coffee snack in the afternoon at 2:20 but not in the morning. The weather is beginning a definite warming trend. It’s been 110 or so in Dallas and much of the mid plains states lately and people are dropping like flies.

One area in which I really need to be brought up to speed is some of the latest Mc Cain campaign adds on Obama. Now they are taking to saying that Obama is the antichrist. As you know Jeane Dixon said the antichrist was born in February of 1962 during a planetary alignment. I take it Obama was born early August of 1962 is he is 47 today. It goes without saying that the rationality of Mc Cain’s adds is long gone, but the Senator has long since stopped caring whether his adds are in good taste or not. It looks as if I won’t vote for either major candidate since roomers are that Obama will expand the government to a new higher “normal” expectancy. They say his adds took a negative turn when Karl Rove was hired on secretly to the campaign. John Mc Cain was so emphatic earlier that he wanted to run a clean, respectable campaign. Now all he can do is jealously mock the fact that Obama is so popular and has so captured the American imagination- - that he’s mockingly compared to a Messiah figure. They would never have tried that with Kennedy because it would have backfired in a big way. But this time it appears to be working and Mc Cain and Obama are tied in the latest polls. This is the best Mc Cain has ever stood. There is apparently a book out there called “Obama-nation”. Perhaps Obama should have changed his name before running for President. Obama is trying to compromise on this offshore oil drilling issue, but the Republicans in congress adjourned before any energy bill could be voted out. To me Obama’s position shift in this particular case robs Mc Cain of perhaps his strongest issue in the campaign, which is off shore oil drilling. There were four different energy bills the Democrats tried to get going and each and every one was killed without ever voting on them. Some say we should use cheaper oil to refill the reserves after we draw from them. Some want to regulate speculation by saying that an oil company cannot buy its own shares. There was another bill whereby the Democrats wanted a guarantee that the newly drilled offshore would at least be sold in this country rather than overseas, but the oil companies wouldn’t even agree to that. In ANWAR apparently the oil companies plan to sell any oil they pump out to China. The republicans don’t want alternate energy sources to be explored. What they want is gridlock, and have proved expert at political theater. The voters only know what they see on their TV’s. But I’m going to youtube.com in a bit to check things out and see if it’s altogether as bad as Randy Rhodes says it is.

We had corn flakes and scrambled eggs with stuff in it for breakfast. I got seconds on coffee for both breakfast and lunch and even seconds on coffee at snack time, which is unusual. The air cleared out for a day or two in Peking but now the smog is back. Thom Hartman talked about similar topics as Randy this morning. We had two tacos for lunch with extra beans and sour cream. But if you over-stuff the taco shells they break. Then she came by offering a third taco. This is unusual as far as food generosity goes. In the soap opera Max Brady finally met his sister, and helped her out of a jam for which she was ungrateful. Meanwhile Eva Vitali has been getting bad news in terms of a traced E mail tying her to the three murders, and also a friendly judge was removed.

Last night I watched the Hall of Fame football game in Canton, Ohio which is “close to everywhere” according to Al Michaels and John Madden. It was the Redskins beating the Colts 30 to 16 I’d guess. It had been tied at sixteen and the Redskins scored twice since them. Then it was another sideshow Bob murder attempt on the Simpson’s. The second Simpson’s was notable because it involved a theme used on Star Trek of a man deliberately planning ahead for having his memory wiped out. The episode kind of reminds me of aspects of that dream I had in early January of 1992. In that dream I was haunted by having forgotten the immediate past and that something horrible just happened but I wasn’t sure what it was but was hoping that I wasn’t involved. But what if before we are born we make a deal with the Devil to live some crappy life we know all about ahead of time, to work off some specific bad karma we incurred?
